After conceding the ball, Shi Wuyun quickly stood on the sidelines and shouted to his players: "Don't panic! Don't panic! Steady! Recycle the defense and hold it until the end of the first half! ”

Then he stood on the sidelines, wanting to give the players confidence and strength and stabilize the morale of the army.

However, when the game resumed, he found that the players were not panicking because they had conceded the goal.

They quickly followed Shi Wuyan's instructions and began to shrink their defence to deny Nigeria a chance to extend their scores.

Whether it is defenders such as Wang Guangwei and Liu Yan, or goalkeeper Lin Zhiyuan, they are desperately blocking the shots of Nigerian players with their bodies.

Seeing this, Shi Wuyun turned around and walked back to the coach's seat, and said to Li Zhifei who was sitting: "Lao Li, these young people are really good......

"Well, I thought they would panic after conceding the ball...... It didn't turn out at all. From the beginning of the game, I noticed that the players were not nervous. In the face of unexpected circumstances, they behaved very calmly......"

"So Lao Li, if you just lose three group games, then go home...... I'm really unwilling. ”

"What can you do?"

"Now that Nigeria have put the focus of their defense on Hulai, we can let Hulai continue to be a decoy and create opportunities for Chen Xingyi and Luo Kai. Similarly, if Chen Xingyi and Luo Kai can pose a threat to the Nigerian goal, it can also liberate Hulai. ”

Li Zhifei thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "It's feasible." But we have to hold on first, don't keep conceding goals, and if we are two goals behind, I'm afraid the morale of the team will ......."

"I'd better go and stand on the sidelines." Shi Wuyun turned around and walked back to the sidelines, standing at the very edge of the coach's command area, watching the game intently.

Under his watchful eye, the national Olympic team really withstood Nigeria's offensive in the remaining ten minutes.

And not only did they resist, they even tried to fight back.

In the 41st minute, Chen Xingyi received a long pass from Wang Guangwei in the backfield, ran with the ball for dozens of meters, and finally completed a shot in the front of the penalty area, but unfortunately missed the bottom line and failed to pose a threat to Nigeria's goal.

After running so far, he ran to the front of the penalty area and made a sharp stop to change direction to get rid of it, and his physical strength was too much, resulting in a little deformation of his movements when he shot at the end of the goal, and he failed to stabilize.

Although he has also staged similar counterattacks in the Chinese Super League, the feeling of the Chinese Super League and the Olympic Games is obviously different. The Nigerian Olympic team, which plays almost all of its players in European leagues, is by no means comparable to the average Chinese Super League team, so he will consume more physical energy in the same process.

Chen Xingyi, who kicked the ball wide, fell to the ground after shooting the goal, but he still struggled to get up to see the result.

After seeing the ball deviate from the bottom line, he screamed in frustration, and lay down again, his chest rising and falling violently, and it could be seen that playing 40 minutes of the Olympic Games was indeed more tiring than playing 40 minutes of the Chinese Super League......

※※※

Although Chen Xingyi did not score, the National Olympic team still held the score of 0:1, conceded only one goal, and entered the halftime break.

Back in the locker room, as soon as the door was closed, head coach Shi Wuyun apologized to the players: "I'm sorry, I misjudged the situation and thought that the opponent would underestimate the enemy...... But not actually, I made a mistake and I want to apologize to everyone......"

Seeing this, Hu Lai raised his hand: "Shi Gui, you don't have to apologize, it's me who should apologize!" ”

"Why do you want to apologize?" Shi Wuyun felt strange.

"I asked the defenders because their coach showed them a video of me scoring five goals in nine minutes, and they defended me so tightly...... So the responsibility is on me, and the guidance ......," Hulay replied.

Chen Xingyi next to him really couldn't hold back: "Are you praising yourself in a different way?" 'Ah, I'm sorry, because I'm too strong, that's why I'm being targeted by my opponents'...... Listen, are you talking in human language? ”

The rest of the players in the dressing room were amused by the scene.

The low pressure caused by conceding a goal in the first half seemed to be dispelled in the dressing room.

Seeing this scene, Shi Wuyun breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and laughed along: "I also think that Hu Lai is praising yourself in disguise." ”

"Shi instructed me wronged...... I'd rather be looked down upon by them, you see I had a shot on goal in the first half and it didn't hit the woodwork...... The other party's black and hard is really difficult! Hulai exclaimed.

"Speaking of which. In the second half we had to adjust our strategy and Hulai you had to be the bait. Use your opponent's tight marker to create opportunities for your teammates. Shi Wuyan's expression became serious and said.

Hu Lai also put away his previous hippie smile, straightened his waist and replied, "Don't worry, Shi Gui, I know what to do." ”

Shi Wuyun was very satisfied with Hu Lai's attitude, and did not feel that because he was the top scorer of the National Olympic team, he felt that he should have unlimited firing rights, and the whole team should serve him. After some players become the core, they feel that the whole world should revolve around him, and if he is allowed to cede some power, it will be like killing him. If there is no better replacement for such a person, then the coach can only pinch his nose and admit it. If there is any other option, I can't wait to kick him out......

Shi Wuyun turned to the other side and named Chen Xingyi and Luo Kai: "The two of you should change positions more frequently in the game, disrupt the opponent's defense, and also create opportunities for yourself or others." In addition, they should be positioned closer to each other to make it easier to tear apart the Nigerian defence with quick passes. ”

"Understood, instructed."

"No problem, Shi Zhi."

Both replied at the same time.

Shi Wuyun looked at Guo Junfu again and warned him to pay close attention to the positions of Chen Xingyi and Luo Kai in the game, once he has time, he must pass the football over in time, and he can try more through balls, there are some risks, but it is worth taking.

Of course, if there is a passing error, you must actively counter-attack in the front court, and if you can't grab it, you must create a foul, in short, you must not let Nigeria play a counterattack.

After all, judging from the first half of the game, the Nigerian forward line was also full of fast horses.

Once the African players get up and let them go crazy, it's going to be in trouble.

Meanwhile, in Nigeria's dressing room, their head coach Kane Roger was praising the performance of his team's backline: "You guys did a good first half! The defense of Hu was a success! Facts have proved that the core of the Chinese team's attack is him, and once he can't play, the Chinese team's attack will be finished! Boys, we had to be more proactive in the second half! We're not just going to win, we're going to win more! This is our best chance to get the goal difference! You can't expect to get enough clean sheets against Belgium and Argentina, can you? ”

The players in the dressing room burst into laughter.

The rules of the group stage of the Olympic Games are that when there are teams with the same score, the goal difference will be compared first, and the total number of goals will be compared if the goal difference is the same, and the win-loss relationship between the teams with the same score will be compared if the total number of goals is the same.

Nigeria head coach Kane Roger is well aware that winning is not enough to emerge from this group of death, but must aim for a goal difference in order to have an early advantage in the final battle for qualification.

So look at the opponents in the group stage, only the Chinese team is the best target to earn a goal difference.

So it will have to get enough clean sheets against China to give Nigeria a chance to qualify from the Group of Death.

Because of the good first half, coach Roger quickly finished what needed to be said, and the rest of the time was free time for the players to relax.

Daniel Moses finally got a chance to ask his backline partner, Kennedy O'Merlo, "Hey, man, I see you were talking to that nonsense in the first half, can you understand what he said?" ”

"Why not? He speaks English. ”

"Oh my God...... He actually speaks English? What is he talking to you? ”

"He's begging me for mercy!" Omero grinned triumphantly.

"Begging for mercy? Are you kidding? Moses did not believe.

"Of course not! He told me to defend their number nine, that he was the most dangerous player in his team, and that I should stop staring at him. ”

"Their number nine?" Moses thought about it, and the number nine in the first half was indeed quite active, but it seemed to be like that.

He pouted, "He's supposed to be lying to you, man." ”

"Of course he was lying to me, and I easily saw through his little thoughts. So he only had one shot in front of me in the first half and it wasn't in the woodwork yet! Omero held up a finger and said triumphantly. And in the second half, I would have let him not even have this shot on goal! ”

※※※

"I'm telling you, in the second half you have to be closely around my core, so that we have a chance to tear apart their defence." On the way from the locker room to the court, Hu Lai explained to Chen Xingyi and Luo Kai as he walked.

"That being said, Hulai. But how does that sound wrong with you? I really want to hear it somewhere......" Chen Xingyi frowned.

"News hookup, huh?" Luo Kai said.

—————

Chen Xingyi suddenly realized: "Oh, yes, yes, yes! Hulai, you kid is not very ambitious......"

He was making fun of Hulai when he saw several Nigerian players coming up from the side, and one of them kept his eyes firmly fixed on Hulai beside him.

Hu Lai also noticed this gaze, he also raised his hand to greet the other party, and then pointed to Luo Kai and Chen Xingyi beside him, and said in English: "Introduction, these two are the most threatening players in our team, and I am rubbish compared to them!" ”

When Kennedy Omero heard Huley say this, he grinned: "It's useless, Hu, you can't fool me." You are the best person in the Chinese team! ”

After he finished speaking, he saw a useful expression on the other party's face.

I thought to myself, how could such a clumsy method deceive me? Naive!

"Hulai, why did you tell the other side about our halftime tactics?" Chen Xingyi's English level is average, but he still understands the general meaning of what Hu Lai just said.

"Hehe, little star, do you think the other party will believe what I say?" Hulay asked him rhetorically.

Chen Xingyi frowned, not knowing how to answer.

"Do you believe what I say?" Hulay asked again.

Chen Xingyi shook his head reflexively: "I don't believe it." ”

Hu Lai slapped his face: "That's it!" You don't believe me, do you think they'll believe me? ”

Luo Kai snorted beside him: "Chen Xingyi understands you, so he doesn't believe it." If your opponent doesn't understand you, he may believe it. ”

Hulai sneered at him: "I asked them to strengthen your defense in the first half, and they didn't believe it." ”

Luo Kai was speechless.

While speaking, the three of them had already walked out of the passage and went to the court, and the on-site commentator He Feng saw the three of them talking about this scene while walking, so he guessed: "I don't know what Hu Lai, Chen Xingyi, and Luo Kai are talking about, are they discussing how to play in the second half...... I hope that the three of them can get closer in the second half, and with the tacit understanding of the three of them, they can find a way out for the attack of the national Olympic team! ”

"Huh? That Luo Kai is also his son's high school classmate, right? Xie Lan in front of the TV suddenly said, "Why have you never heard my son talk about it?" Isn't it a bad relationship? ”

Hu Lixin glanced at her, "Then he never told you that Li Qingqing was his classmate, right?" ”

"Uh......" Xie Lan had nothing more to say.

"Watch, don't think about the mess that you don't have."
