042 Desperate!
The Aztec Arena was buzzing with the crowd and the Mexicans rushed to the sidelines to celebrate, even though it was only an under-17 game, but it was no less than the professional game!
The Mexican fans in the stands also cheered hoarsely for the team!
Carlos Ferro is held by the stars like a hero!
"The Mexican team takes the lead! Carlos Ferro makes a stoppage!
After the opening, the Mexican team completely suppressed the Chinese team!
They made it almost impossible for the Chinese team to organize an effective offensive, this is Mexico, this is the strong performance of Mexico, the king of Central and North America, in this World Junior Championships!
If the Chinese team can't get on their feet quickly, I have no doubt that they may lose this final very quickly, it doesn't take 90 minutes, maybe 60 minutes, 45 minutes is enough for them to lose all the effort and effort they have put in before!
Now the Mexican team leads the Chinese team 1:0! ”
Van der Sheer clapped his hands vigorously on the sidelines, shouting for the team to cheer up, don't be affected by conceding the ball, there is still more time in the game, don't panic, don't panic!
The nearly 15-minute game has revealed a lot of information, not the Chinese team, but the opponent's fierce posture, which is like a tiger!
Coupled with the cheering atmosphere in the Aztec Arena in favor of the Mexican team, the disadvantage of the Chinese team in this final is too great!
If the player's willpower is a little worse, then the mind will be like a rootless duckweed drifting in the wind.
The Chinese team kicked off, this was a final without reservations, when Luo Hongkai passed the ball to Tang Hong's feet, Tang Hong pulled the ball and changed direction to wipe Gonzalez who grabbed it, Tang Hong, who cut the ball from the right side of the front court, saw Qin Rui running forward in the direction of the penalty area, if he passed the ball directly It was obviously too risky, and he had to get closer to have a higher certainty of the passing opportunity.
Flores' frontal interception did not bother Tang Hong, who deceived the opponent's center of gravity after dribbling for a rhythmic beat, but when he regained possession of the ball, the collision of defender Espililicueta was clearly not on the right foot.
Tang Hong barely controlled the ball and dodged, but he still fell to the ground weightlessly.
The referee blew the whistle for a foul on Espililicueta, and Tang Hong stood up and said a simple word of English to the referee.
"Shouldn't he be carded for a foul?"
The referee ignored him.
Tang Hong knew that Espiligueta was focusing on him, and he did not have the slightest malice.
Tactical free kick out, Tang Hong controlled the ball at a position of forty yards from the goal, facing Marco Buno who rushed up to press, Tang Hong dialed the ball to the right side but stopped and pulled the ball back, Marco Buno grabbed the air, Tang Hong advanced from the other side, just when the Mexican defense was forward, Tang Hong suddenly sent a straight plug over the top on the spot.
Qin Rui was in the offside trap, but Luo Hongkai, who ran from the offside position in front of the penalty area, was not offside.
Facing this wonderful pass sent by Tang Hong, Luo Hongkai didn't wait for the football to land, and directly half-turned and volleyed!
Mexican goalkeeper Ricardo Sanchez jumped up to try to block but couldn't touch the ball and he landed on the ground and looked back to see the ball grazing the top edge of the crossbar and landing on the top of the net.
Call!
Mexican fans were relieved.
Luo Hongkai gritted his teeth and cursed, and ran quickly towards the backfield very unwillingly.
Mexico quickly relaunched a fast break after possession of the ball.
I don't know if the Chinese team preconceived to adopt a passive defensive posture, resulting in the Chinese team's midfield and back line almost compressed in the front of the goal of the forty yards, Tang Hong does not remember Van der Shier said that the team will play a defensive counterattack today, or hope to be able to confront the opponent head-on.
But 20 minutes after the start of the game, the Chinese team took the initiative to shrink the defensive line!
It can be said that the oppressive force of the opponent's momentum has caused the Chinese team to naturally have a fear mentality, which is not that they dare not compete with the opponent, but that they will suffer from gains and losses, hoping to protect the goal and limit the opponent's scoring.
In this way, Tang Hong needs to retreat in a wide range to have a chance to touch the ball, otherwise even if the Chinese team successfully defends, because they dare not control the ball in the backfield, they will only clear the siege with a big foot, in that case, whether the Chinese team can fight back depends entirely on luck.
Tang Hong twice received from the backcourt and then dribbled to the front court to advance the attack, the whole audience could see that he was fast and skilled, no Mexican player could mark him one-on-one, but the problem was that he couldn't go over the whole court alone!
Especially when there are no teammates running to contain him to share the opponent's defensive attention.
When he was fouled by Caballero, he also had Mexico's centre-back defence in front of him.
When he was brought to the right by Brecino in front of the box, he was just one step away from getting into the box!
But in the end, it didn't create a threat.
The Mexican team is aiming to win the championship, so naturally it will not underestimate Tang Hong, the biggest threat in the Chinese team.
They don't mind using foul tactics against him.
After 30 minutes of play, Tang Hong was the player who fell to the ground the most times, and he was also the player who ran the most actively on the field.
It's easy to see why Neymar, who was also a talented man two years ago, was unable to lead Brazil out of the group stage.
Football is a team sport after all, there are heroes here, but behind the heroes must be a team that can create heroes!
In the 35th minute of the game, Mexico once again played a continuous strong attack in the front.
Gonzalez's cross from the side was cleared by Leon in the middle of the penalty area, but the football that flew outside the penalty area was controlled by Mexican midfielder Carlos Ferro, who then sent a straight stopper, Escamila quickly stepped forward, and after touching the ball in the penalty area and turning to the right, Li Yuanyi stretched out his leg to intercept and failed to touch the football but put Escamilla to the ground!
The referee blew the whistle very decisively to stop the game, and at the same time pointed to the penalty spot in the penalty area of the Chinese team!
The Chinese team will only feel that the world is spinning, and they can't help but feel a little desperate when they look at the referee!
When Tang Hong walked back to the penalty area, he clapped his hands and encouraged his teammates not to lose their cool!
Van der Heer crossed his arms on the sidelines to hide his anxiety while trying to think.
Mexican fans in the stands of the Arena Azteca held their breath in the hope that the team would take advantage of the opportunity.
Striker Marco Buno stood in front of the penalty spot, after the referee's whistle, Buno ran and shot lightly into the upper right corner of the goal, Zhang Yinuo saved in the right direction but couldn't save the football!
When the football flew into the goal of the Chinese team, the Aztec Arena thundered with joy and sound!
Buno rushed to the sidelines to celebrate and screamed, and the Mexicans almost wanted to sing and dance!
"Marco Buno hits the penalty spot, and Mexico is now two goals ahead of China!
I think the Chinese team played too conservatively in this final, I don't know what exactly they are afraid of, is it the fear of physical confrontation with Mexico?
I am still afraid of the fast attack of the Mexican team, in fact, the Mexican team does not have players with particularly strong speed ability, and the most important thing is that they do not have any players who are particularly strong in delivering threatening balls!
But the Mexican team is to create a threat by repeatedly impacting the Chinese team's defense and attacking more times!
If the Chinese team doesn't make changes, they may lose this final! ”
In fact, from the beginning of the game, the Mexican team was in a passive position under the fast-paced rush, but they had a chance to change the situation, but because they conceded the goal in less than 15 minutes, they failed to take bold steps to change, but have been led by the Mexican team.
At this time, someone needs to stand up, and new spiritual power is needed to infect everyone and let them sweep away the decline!
Before the celebration in Mexico, Tang Hong stood in front of his midfield teammates, and he said bluntly: "I don't know if there is any way to change the situation, but now we are two goals down, we have no way back, we can only fight with them, the attack needs more support, I know that doing so will make our defense take more risks, but the facts are clear, take a risk, we may still have a way to live, the same, we have a dead end." ”
Luo Hongkai, Xie Pengfei, Liu Binbin, and Li Yuanyi looked at each other and nodded.
Tang Hong took a deep breath before restarting the game.
Rather die than live silently!
