Chapter 25 Play-offs China VS Ecuador III
Before Lei Yi drove the corner, the scramble in front of the goal had already begun, with several players of the Chinese team and the players of the Ecuadorian team pushing and even pulling each other. They all want to snatch the best first landing spot in such a way.
Zhang Shaolin and Xie Qianyi jumped one after another under the cover of their teammates. The two of them are very strong among the countrymen, but compared to the Ecuadorian team from South America, they are still a little worse.
In the fierce competition, Zhang Shaolin and Xie Qian failed to grab the first landing point of the ball.
It was an extremely tall centre-back from Ecuador who was vying for the header. But his header was deflected wide and he couldn't clear the Ecuadorian goal like that, or even ...... He also caused a scuffle in the penalty area.
"No. 27 Shen Tianhai hurriedly rushed to shoot! But the gap in front of the door is too small! His kick hit the Ecuadorian player and formed a refraction! ”
"The Ecuadorian central defender hurried over and cleared the ball! But the kick didn't work well! ”
"The situation in front of the goal is such that the goalkeepers of the Ecuador team do not dare to attack and get the ball!! He can only concentrate on keeping in front of goal and trusting his teammates! ”
"Under the scramble with the Ecuadorian defenders, No. 19 Wu saw the unfortunate loss of the goal!"
"Great! The Ecuadorian defender handed the ball to his team-mate, but the midfielder didn't stop it!! ”
The chaos in the Ecuadorian penalty area almost left the fans breathless. You can feel the tension that spreads in the Ecuadorian team, but the hard work of the Chinese team can be seen with the naked eye.
For them, this game is only allowed to win, and not to lose.
Since the opening, they have missed too many opportunities. Heaven clearly can't be lenient to teams that have missed their chances again and again. And they also have a breath in their hearts, no matter what, they can't give up this precious and meaningful opportunity for them.
At this moment, the Ecuadorian team's defensive position problem has been completely exposed. If it weren't for that, the Chinese would simply not have been able to create such a big mess in their goalfront penalty area. And that chaotic war seemed to be coming to an end at this moment......
Yes, an Ecuadorian midfielder found an opportunity and slammed the ball towards China's half.
He would not have thought that such a kick would give the Chinese team a chance to completely rewrite the score.
It was Yerti who was guarding outside the Ecuadorian team's penalty area, beware of possible counterattacks by the Ecuadorian team, and waiting for his chance. The attack-minded centre-back scurried over to Ecuador's midfielder as he kicked the ball past and headed for it!
Yelti was a very tall man, 1.92 meters, and when he ran to the center of contention, he just jumped up without much effort, successfully stopped the ball with his body, and ran forward without stopping after the ball rolled down his body, firmly forward, and gave a powerful volley.
Do you know the difference between a strong team and a weak team?
A strong team is able to seize every seemingly impossible opportunity and make it possible. The underdog will kick every possible opportunity to the core.
But at this moment, at this critical juncture, the player who brought hope to many Chinese fans when he was a teenager, was born in Yili and went to Urumqi to study football.
Then, he is the person that hundreds of millions of Chinese fans crave.
The chaos in the box made it impossible for the Ecuadorian players to guard against the powerful volley from Yelti. This man appeared like a hero and scored this meaningful shot for the Chinese team!
"The ball went in !!!!"
The Chinese commentator shouted this sentence excitedly, and the player, who usually doesn't talk much and doesn't have much expression on his face, has a hearty and wanton smile on his face that seems to be able to dispel the haze, and he celebrates wildly, showing the fans and his teammates how tough he is.
Lei Yi, who participated in the melee together after the corner kick, really didn't expect that it would be their team's central defender who finally ended the melee and contributed the shot! Central defender!!
That's so ...... Too...... It's so football!!
"Yelti!! Pretty!! This shot was so beautiful! Now I believe they say that you were the first to play as a striker!! ”
Although Lei Yi always felt that he was scary when he saw this person who was usually unsmiling and had a high nose and deep eyes, but at this moment, he rushed into the teammates who were celebrating with Yerti and shouted this sentence loudly in Yerti's ear.
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Yeerti directly grabbed Lei Yi with one arm, and kissed Lei Yi violently with his face that had not even shaved his beard, which made the new No. 11 of the Chinese team, who was still a teenager, scream.
"You're good too! Little Garrincha! ”
This is the thirty-second minute, and the Chinese team, which has been unable to attack for a long time, finally took the lead in scoring and rewrote the score on the field to 1:0!
"Fans and friends!! I was so breathless from the attack just now!! I can't believe that the Chinese team and the Ecuadorian team on the field now are the same two teams that played the first leg in Quito, the capital of Ecuador, a week ago!! The players on the field are still the same! But it's as if each of them has changed people!! This second leg is completely different from the first leg in terms of the pace and excitement of the match!! It's as if in the last round we saw a slow-forward shot, but in this round, they fast-forwarded!! It seems that we have reason to advocate to FIFA that we are not allowed to play at such a high altitude in the future!! ”
As a commentator who often secretly substitutes some personal subjective information in the game commentary, Rong Naida immediately said such a meaningful sentence after Yerti created this goal. And the paste Liu next to him still played Tai Chi:
"Yes, yes, it was obviously a lot better than the first leg."
The shape of the football field has always been fast-moving, and the two commentators are still commenting on Yelti's unexpectedly powerful volley, and the Ecuadorian team has begun to fight back with great intensity under the stimulus of the score.
Do you think the game you're watching is too boring and boring, with both sides playing too conservatively and not having the exciting offense and defense that makes you raise your glasses and cheer? Do you want this game to look good and exciting in no time?
Pray that one of the two warring sides on the field will be the first to score. Whoever gets that shot first will make the rest of the game even more exciting. It was as if it was a special medicine that accelerated the secretion of adrenal hormones by the twenty-two players on the field.
The Chinese team opened the scoring nine minutes before the first half and rewrote the scoreline, which meant that they were only one goal away from qualifying for the World Cup! But this also means, of course...... The last nine minutes of the first half would be nine minutes of life and death for them.
The South American powerhouse launched a frantic attack towards the Chinese team's half-court position. And what China will need to do before they can score their second goal is to stop it! Stop this black nine minutes!
Under this pressing style of play of the Ecuadorian team, the Chinese team pushed the entire defense line backwards. Now, both Thunder Wing, who plays as a right winger, and Chi Rinima, who plays left winger, will be involved in this round of defense. Although it was very awkward for Lei Yi, he had to do it.
But he also knows better than anyone else that sometimes...... Offense may be the best defense. Blindly retreating is certainly not his hobby.
"Ecuador's attack is very ferocious! However, although the Chinese team retreated to a very backward position, almost surrounded by the Ecuadorian team, their formation is still there! The formation of the Chinese team was not scattered by the Ecuadorian team!! ”
"Kure!! It's Wu Mi! Wu Jian broke the ball and grabbed it!! He passed the ball to Thunder Wing!! ”
Wing-back Wu Mi, who plays for Real Betis in La Liga. And now, together with Lei Yi, he has found a respite for the Chinese team's current round of defense......
The central defender Yerti, who had just scored a goal and was getting more and more fierce, stepped forward many times. He has already rushed from his own goal all the way to the end of the Ecuadorian penalty area on several occasions!
But no matter how aggressive a person's running is, his running speed is limited.
In several transitions between attack and defense, Yerti, as a central defender, was finally found by the Ecuadorian team with an extremely dangerous counterattack opportunity for the Chinese team because of his active approach!!
Ecuador's forward trident raced towards China's half-court position after getting the ball, and tried to catch the Chinese defence off guard before they could react.
The Ecuadorian team is running at a terrible pace!!
After they broke through the midfield line, they shook off the double back defense line composed of Shen Tianhai and Cheng Chuan with a three-man cooperation!!
At this moment, even Lei Yi, who was not dominant in speed, began to run desperately and chase back.
3 to 2!
At this moment, in front of the goalkeeper of the Chinese team, there are only two of the team's other central defenders, Li Yunxiao, and Wu Jian, who returned to the defense in time!!
Narrow pass!
Such a situation is too dangerous, and staring at such a picture makes people feel as if they are riding a pirate ship.
The fans watching this scene had tense muscles, their hands clenched into fists or clenched something.
Cheng Chuan, Shen Tianhai, the two midfielders, and Yeerti, who ran too far forward in the attack before, were desperately chasing back, but it was obvious that they were ...... Ecuador's forward trident was about to attack the last line of defense in front of the Chinese goal before they could catch up.
The first to attack is Wu Mi! Wu Jian's attack was very firm, but after all, he was still a beat slower, and although the Ecuadorian team's striker was disrupted by him, he still managed to pass the ball to his teammate in the middle!! And Wu Jian's attack did not delay this offensive of the Ecuadorian team for long!
Now, the last barrier in front of the goal line other than the goalkeeper is Li Yunxiao, who was accidentally called up in the first round of the match with the Ecuadorian team because he was born in Jingyuan, Gansu Province at an altitude of more than 2,000 meters!!
At the moment of facing off against the Ecuadorian team's striker who was active in the middle, Li Yunxiao was shaken off before he even reacted!
At this time, many people couldn't bear to look at it, and even made extremely deflated and resentful voices. In their opinion, the Ecuadorian team's offensive in this round seems to have formed a single knife, and they will have a one-on-one confrontation with the Chinese goalkeeper. But one second, he subconsciously closed his eyes tightly because he didn't want to continue watching, and the next moment he directly heard the excited roar of the narrator.
"Well done Li Yunxiao!! Although he failed to make an effective interception at the moment of the No. 9 opponent of the Ecuador team, he was able to catch up in time after being shaken!! And very firmly stabbed from behind! His kick made Ecuador's No. 9 lose control of the ball!! ”
