Chapter 125: Striking the West

Guo Junfu has been observing the situation in front of him, whether he has the ball at his feet or not, and he hopes to accumulate enough samples through a large number of observations for analysis.

Although he only observed for ten minutes in the second half, there were some differences between him and the first half.

Nigeria still defended very tightly against Hulai and did not let up with their defensive success in the first half.

But in contrast, their defense of Chen Xingyi and Luo Kai was far less strict than that of Hu Lai.

Maybe he thinks that only Hu Lai is the strongest player in the Chinese team, and everyone else doesn't have to pay too much attention.

It can't be said that they are completely blind in doing so, because neither Chen Xingyi nor Luo Kai posed much of a threat to Nigeria's goal in the first half.

Chen Xingyi had another shot wide in a counterattack, and Luo Kai didn't have any impressive performance other than that anti-aircraft gun.

So it's understandable that the opponent doesn't care much about the two of them.

And this is a good opportunity for Guo Junfu.

Guo Junfu took the ball again, Hulai ran out and raised his hand to ask for the ball, he was still followed by a Nigerian central defender, in addition, there was a Nigerian player not far away, forming a corner with the central defender, and these two men guaranteed that Hulai could be locked at any time.

Guo Junfu saw that Luo Kai and Chen Xingyi were both running, but obviously Luo Kai's position was better, so he chose to pass the football to Luo Kai.

Luo Kai received the ball and shot straight at goal, but the ball was blocked by Nigerian centre-back Daniel Moses with his legs.

Although the goal was not scored, Guo Junfu saw hope.

If Moses had been slow to come back this time, Luo Kai's kick should have been able to shoot directly in front of the Nigerian goalkeeper, right?

And there were only a handful of chances like that in the first half.

So after adjusting the tactics, it worked.

In the box, Nigeria's goalkeeper Abdullahi Ndidi was shouting to his teammate, Daniel Moses, who had just completed a clearance: "Daniel! You're slowing down! I almost got him to shoot the ball just now! ”

Although Moses has completed his defensive duties, goalkeeper Ndidi still seems dissatisfied.

Moses waved his hand, "But I blocked his shot, didn't I?" ”

Appears nonchalant.

The other players of the Chinese team, including Luo Kai, who shot the goal, did not care about the dialogue between the two sides, they thought that the goalkeeper was just a routine shout to boost morale.

But Hulay looked at Moses.

The two men did not speak English, but a local Nigerian national language, and Hulay did not know what language it was, but he could understand it.

From Moses' answers and attitudes, Hulay keenly grasped a message – that the Nigerian players' concentration and vigilance were gradually declining.

It's good.

Thinking of this, he turned to Omero and said, "Are you sure you don't strengthen the defense of our number nine?" Maybe he'll shoot the ball into the back of the net next time. ”

Omero looked at Hulai expressionlessly, thinking to himself, why doesn't this kid give up, am I the kind of person who is deceived by you in a few words?

Seeing that the other party ignored him, Hu Lai just smiled at him, and then shrugged his shoulders: "Believe it or not, don't blame me for not reminding you if you lose the ball then." ”

Nigeria weren't just defensive, either, and after the Olympic team's corner didn't pose a threat to their goal, they started attacking to try to score again.

After all, their manager said at half-time that they should earn as much goal difference as possible.

Shi Wuyun stood on the sidelines, nervously watching the court.

He knows what Nigeria has to do, but for him, it also means opportunity.

If the national Olympic team can withstand Nigeria's offensive, it will have more opportunities to counterattack, and the national Olympic team, which has Chen Xingyi and Luo Kai, two fast horses on the wing, has an advantage in counterattacking......

Of course, the premise is that the national Olympic team must survive the Nigerian offensive frenzy and not concede goals, otherwise any plan will be in vain.

As far as Shi Wuyun's eyes could see, Nigeria's striker, Okuye, who scored a goal in the first half, received the ball, and Wang Guangwei leaned in for the first time.

Okuye seemed to look down on Wang Guangwei and wanted to force a breakthrough with his own speed.

But when he was pasted by Wang Guangwei, he found that it was not so easy to get started......

This Chinese defender doesn't look very strong, but he is very tenacious, and his core strength is not bad, so he was not rushed away.

So the Nigerian striker, who plays in Ligue 2, quickly changed his strategy and decided to shake off Wang Guangwei with a change of pace.

It's just that he stopped suddenly, Wang Guangwei also stopped urgently, he was shaking, Wang Guangwei was unmoved, he changed direction, Wang Guangwei also changed direction, and he was always stuck on his inside.

Okuye has no way, and if he drags on any longer, he will be surrounded, so he can only force a shot from Wang Guangwei after changing direction!

Lin Zhiyuan fell to the ground and pounced sideways, holding the football shot by Okuye directly in his arms.

Then he quickly got up from the ground holding the football and launched a counterattack directly by throwing the ball with his hands!

"Good shot! The National Olympic team fought back! ”

Nigeria's return moves were quick, and while Okuye's side was still lamenting that he couldn't pose a threat, his team-mates were quick to turn and run back.

This team is not as tactically disciplined as they showed in the first half.

By the time the Olympic team's attack was pushed up, the Nigerian players had basically retreated.

At the very least, all four of them are in their positions.

Guo Junfu divided the football and gave it to Luo Kai.

Luo Kai took the ball and cut inside and dribbled laterally.

The Nigerian backline followed him, but they didn't rush to the action, they were very experienced, and they just drove him to a crowded place so that sooner or later Luo Kai would lose space.

On the pitch, losing space means losing possession.

Guo Junfu shouted: "Give me the ball!" "Come up and answer him.

But Luo Kai didn't do that, because that would be equivalent to playing the football back, and it was not easy to attack it, and he had to pass it back.

Luo Kai was not reconciled.

As he dribbled laterally, he spotted Hulaika in the middle of the penalty spot to the line of the penalty area, raising his hand to ask for the ball.

Not far from him was Nigeria's No.4 centre-back Omero, while another centre-back, No.5 Moses, was also not far from him, and the pair formed a rivalry with Hulai.

It stands to reason that the ball should not be passed to him in this situation, but Rokai thought that because the two centre-backs were close together, there was a lot of space in the box to exploit.

If he passes the ball to Hulai, and then cuts inside and goes straight behind the number five, and Hulai passes the football to him, and the two of them hit the wall one-two, then wouldn't he get an almost one-on-one chance?

Thinking of this, Luo Kai quickly pushed the football to Hulai in the penalty area with his left foot, and at the same time changed the line and went straight into the penalty area.

At the same time as Hulai received the ball, Omero posted it as soon as possible, preventing him from being comfortable with the ball.

Moses had planned to come up to defend Hulai, but when he saw Hulai turn around and seem to push the football behind him, he immediately realized where the real danger was!

He quickly turned and tried to pounce on Luo Kai, who had already entered the penalty area.

Rokai also made a gesture for Hu to pass the ball to him, although he also noticed Moses' movements. But at this time, it was ready to shoot and had to be sent. After receiving the ball, he could only force a breakthrough and create a killing opportunity.

Attention was drawn to the scramble in front of the penalty spot, with the Nigerian midfielder turning to pounce on Hu Lai and Luo Kai, while Guo Junfu pulled away horizontally to meet Hulai's possible return pass.

Luo Kai turned his head to look at Hulai as he thrust forward, and saw that his right foot had indeed pushed the football in his side......

No!

He saw Hulay's right foot bouncing a shot at the soccer ball, then stepped on the soccer ball and pulled it back, pulled it behind him, and ...... it again Knock on the other side!

The football was passed to the left space, where there was a huge gap!

And Chen Xingyi, who was originally outside the penalty area, came in at this time, and in the face of Hu Lai's pass, he began to adjust his pace when he was almost unmarked.

"Hulai! Pretty!! Opportunity! Chen Xingyi——! ”

In He Feng's roar, Chen Xingyi, who had adjusted his pace, raised his foot and kicked towards the football, and faced the Nigerian goalkeeper Ndidi, who was attacking to block the angle, and shot directly!

Ndidi pounced on the near corner, and the football was pushed to the far corner by Chen Xingyi!

"This ball! This ball...... This ball——!! Yan Kang kept repeating the word until he saw the football rubbing against goalkeeper Ndidi's toe and then into the back corner of the goal!

Only then did he suddenly exclaim, "Beautiful——!! ”

At the same time, He Feng beside him was also shouting hard: "Beautiful!! Chen Xingyi!! He made it to the Chinese Olympic team in this Olympic Games...... No, the first goal in Olympic history!! The Olympic team equalized! The front trident is extremely tacitly coordinated! Pretty! ”

In the commentary seat at the scene, I saw two Chinese commentators jumping up from their seats with one hand pressing the noise-canceling and soundproof headset, and waving their other fists vigorously.

In the stadium, Chen Xingyi, who scored the goal, ran backwards to the corner flag area, and at the same time opened his arms and shouted at Hu Lai, who assisted him: "Come on, Hu Lai, come and hug one!" ”

Hulai laughed and greeted him.

Behind them, Luo Kai shook his head, but also chased after them.

followed by Guo Junfu, Gao Ruimin, and Zeng Chi...... It's the other Chinese Olympic team players.

They happily ran towards the area where Chen Xingyi was, like red meteors, streaking across the night sky of Valencia.
