Chapter 202: Time is Running Out
When Hulai equalized, Li Ziqiang, who was about to make adjustments, took advantage of the dead ball and quickly conveyed his instructions to the players at Dongchuan Middle School.
Although the score has been equalized, it is still necessary to shrink the defense and counterattack.
Because he expected that the equalizer Dawning High School would definitely step up the attack.
As the defending champions, it is impossible for them not to respond to such a "humiliation".
And the most responsive response of Dawn High School, which is always known for its offense, is naturally offense.
In such a situation, Dongchuan Middle School, which is not familiar with the match with Akebono High School, if it is not prepared, wants to take advantage of the momentum of the equalizer to press out and attack Akehono High School, and may concede another goal in a short time.
This can be said to be a devastating blow to their morale.
Hulay's goal will also be wasted.
So the right thing to do at this time is to recycle the defense, tighten the fence, and stabilize the defense.
After withstanding this wave of attacks from Dawning High School, their fighting spirit and confidence were consumed, and as time passed, they would naturally become more and more impatient with superior strength.
Only then will Dongchuan Middle School's counterattack come into play......
Because of Li Ziqiang's prestige in the team, although the players of Dongchuan Middle School who equalized the score were very excited, they still listened to the head coach's words and contracted the defense.
The ensuing match also proved Li Ziqiang right.
After the game resumed, Shuguang High School launched an attack on Dongchuan Middle School almost desperately.
Under the leadership of Chen Xingyi, their attack was like a storm.
If Dongchuan Middle School didn't recycle the defense, it would be beaten into a sieve at this time......
Chen Xingyi burst into the penalty area...... Sideways! He passes the ball in front of goal! Mao Xiao kicked the ball first and kicked the football out of the bottom line, oh! It's dangerous! ”
"Akebono High School won a corner...... The corner kick is out, Li Yi's header! Meng Xi made a very beautiful save! He took the football in his arms with both hands! ”
Chen Xingyi retreated to catch the ball...... Nice turn! Wow! He dribbles forward! Chen Rui came up to defend him, and he cut inside and walked in the middle...... Horizontal dribbling...... One person has passed, and another person has passed! Kick and shoot! Ah! It's a shame to be a little off the rails! ”
"Chen Xingyi's performance during this period is really outstanding, he not only used his breakthrough ability to the extreme, but he also sent more threatening passes to his teammates, which also made the goal of Dongchuan Middle School dangerous!"
"Chen Xingyi has been the top scorer in two consecutive national competitions, so much so that some people have forgotten that he actually played as a full-back at Shuguang High School at the beginning...... He was a midfielder and then he became a striker. He's got an assist for his teammates! ”
In the face of the pressure brought by Chen Xingyi, even Hu Lai actively participated in the defense, and it was not the pretense that he had before, but a real defense.
Because of this, he even had a direct conversation with Chen Xingyi for the first time so far in this game.
At that time, after Chen Xingyi retreated to get the ball, he wanted to turn around and break through with the ball, in front of him was Chen Rui, who was waiting for him, and Chen Xingyi's attention was also on this opponent, ready to shake off the opponent with a change in rhythm.
But at this moment, a person suddenly stepped up from behind diagonally and stretched one leg between Chen Xingyi's swinging legs.
For this kind of defense, Chen Xingyi has also encountered it in previous games. He also has a way to do it, which will make him stumble a little at most, but not so much that he will fall.
But this time, the other party obviously didn't just stretch out a leg, but when he ran parallel with him, he stretched his leg in, not straight out of his leg, but after stretching his leg in, he turned outward again, forming an L-shape, entangled Chen Xingyi's leg!
This time, Chen Xingyi tried to move forward, but he just twisted the owner of this leg in. And the other party seemed to be very happy to be wrenched in, without any resistance, the whole person quickly pressed over.
Chen Xingyi could no longer maintain his balance, and fell to the ground with the opponent, and naturally lost the ball.
The referee's whistle sounded and the opponent was awarded a foul.
There were also deafening boos from the stands.
It was only then that Chen Xingyi saw who prevented his breakthrough - Hu Lai was apologizing to himself apologetically: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to ......"
Chen Xingyi looked down at the other party's leg that was still entangled with his own leg, and sighed: "Your foul skills are really superb." ”
"Wronged, big brother, I really didn't mean to. I wanted to come up and break the ball, but your high-speed swinging legs created a powerful suction force that sucked me in...... You see that I am light in weight, and I can't get rid of it for a while, so I bumped into it directly......" Hu Lai defended himself seriously, but Chen Xingyi just wanted to roll his eyes. This nonsense is all a conditioned reflex, right?
Hu Lai didn't care about Chen Xingyi's reaction at all, he pulled his leg out from between the other party's legs, got up again, and then took the initiative to stretch out his hand to him: "Are you okay, you're not injured?" ”
Chen Xingyi took his hand and was pulled up by him: "If we are ahead now, then I will definitely be injured." ”
Hu Lai laughed, patted Chen Xingyi on the back, and then turned around and walked to the free kick spot designated by the referee, standing in front of the football, in case Chen Xingyi or other Shuguang High School players sent the free kick out quickly.
Seeing him like this, Chen Xingyi also gave up the plan to take a free kick quickly, but ran past the football, ran to the front, and left the free kick for his teammates.
Hulay, on the other hand, stood until the opposite side signaled to the referee, and then took a few steps back to allow the opponent to take the free kick near the center circle.
※※※
Hu Lai's foul on Chen Xingyi was just a small episode in the game, and his foul did not change the situation of Shuguang High School's continued onslaught at Dongchuan Middle School.
After that, Hu Lai did not face Chen Xingyi.
As the game time passed minute by minute, the students of Dongchuan Middle School, thousands of miles away, stared at the live broadcast of the game on the projection screen in their respective classrooms, so nervous that they didn't dare to breathe casually.
It was only when one of the attacks at Dawning High School was over that a burst of gasping voices rang out in the classrooms.
"Principal Zhai?" The secretary looked at Zhai Guangming a little nervously at the door, he was worried that the old principal's heart would not be able to withstand such a tense game.
Principal Zhai didn't answer him, just made an OK gesture to him, and his eyes didn't take his eyes off the TV screen at all.
Despite this, the secretary did not dare to slack off, and instead of returning to his place, he stood by the door. His eyes swept back and forth between the TV screen and Principal Zhai. Be ready at any time, as soon as there is anything exciting about the game, he will immediately go to see Principal Zhai, if the principal has something wrong, he will no longer care about the principal's opinion, and rush in directly to save people.
Zhai Guangming knew what his secretary was planning, but he didn't stop the other party. Because now he can't care about the secretary at all.
Seeing that there are about ten minutes left before the end of the game, if Dongchuan Middle School can withstand the offensive of Shuguang High School and drag the game into a penalty shootout, then there is really a chance to win the national championship!
The thought of this possibility made the old headmaster's heart beat faster......
※※※
Liang Yuanhao looked down at his watch, time was running out.
He intends to make some adjustments.
Although his team's onslaught made Dongchuan Middle School look a little embarrassed, it instead pressed the opponent's defense more tightly, with three lines connected tightly and less space near the penalty area. He judged that if he continued to attack like this, he should not gain anything.
Because the opponent is obviously used to the offensive rhythm of Dawning High School.
At this time, it is necessary to make appropriate adjustments, change the rhythm, and let the formation of Dongchuan Middle School pull out, and the vacancy will appear.
Thinking of this, he got up from the coach's bench and walked to the sidelines to make a gesture that only the Aurora High School players could understand.
Slow down the pace, let it go appropriately, and let Dongchuan Middle School attack.
It creates the illusion that Dawn High School is not capturing, and makes the Dongchuan Middle School players think they have a chance.
After they attacked, they would see the right time, suddenly speed up, and go straight to the opponent's heart!
Finish this final with 80 minutes of regular time.
