In the second half, the two sides returned to the pitch. Although they are still running on the same line, there is a hint of determination on the faces of the Chinese team members.

Zhu Guanghu's decision may be a big gamble.

bet on the ability of the players to score a goal in positional battles; The physical fitness of the gambling players can be used to force the whole game. There is also ball dribbling, if the players can't score when they have enough physical strength, then when the whole line retreats, with the only remaining physical strength, even the defensive counterattack is difficult to support.

In short, Zhu Guanghu chose a steeper road, but it was a decent road.

Maybe one negligence can easily pull the team back into the abyss. Unlike the match against France, if the battle cannot be resolved in 90 minutes, it will be difficult to survive overtime with the remaining physical strength of the players.

But even so, the players are also high-spirited.

Being in the semi-finals is an exciting thing in itself, and if you can show your own style in the semi-finals, then you can truly achieve "no regrets".

So as soon as the second half started, England almost lost points due to carelessness.

In the 47th minute, Zhang Xiaorui was still like before, alternating with the ball with his left and right feet, seeking gaps in the England defense.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he pushed his left foot against Humphreys' small door. Including Humphreys, the ball slipped from the feet of the three men and penetrated the England defence in an instant.

Amid the rising cheers of the fans, a red-robed discussion came out of the crowd at some point. Before Carragher, he took the ball with his left foot.

It was only a step too late that Carragher had to retract his foot so as not to trip the council into the box.

But at this time, the discussion had already dribbled the ball to face the goalkeeper, and Carragher, as the last central defender, seemed to have no other good way than to hold him down.

Seeing that the negotiated one-shot goal was about to be scored, the referee from Paraguay suddenly blew the whistle.

"Offside?" Zhang Lu was puzzled with a hint of chagrin.

What a good one-shot chance, it turned out to be an offside position?

Under the linesman's flag, the referee did not hesitate to make the decision.

After the whistle, the England goalkeeper also had no intention of keeping the goal, allowing the discussion to push the ball into the bottom left corner of the goal.

The dismissive deliberation of the goal was full of unwillingness, and there was a hint of anger.

He shouted in fluent English: "Hey, there was a defender who was dragging at the end just now, why was it offside?" ”

Through the replay of the game, the moment Zhang Xiaorui passed the ball, the discussion was indeed within the offside line. It's just that his lowered head is a little above the offside line, and it can even be said that if he shaves his hair, this offside will be a complete miscalculation.

is so offside, I don't know whether to feel that the referee is sharp-eyed, or that he is nitpicking.

"Alas, it was indeed a controversial decision."

Judging from the slow motion, the moment Zhang Xiaorui got up, he negotiated to be on par with the opposing defender. However, the referee's view may have been obscured, so it was mistaken for offside. ”

"In fact, the referee wiped out a chance for the Chinese team to score a single goal." Zhang Lu said regretfully.

When he was discussing and wanted to complain, he suddenly saw Li Tie wave his big hand and slowly retreat with the whole team.

Seeing this, the discussion could only send a disdain to the linesman with his eyes, and quickly ran out of the restricted area with his arms.

"It doesn't matter, if you have the first chance, you have a second time. Concentrate on it, and there will be more opportunities like this! ”

The ball was kicked out by a big kick, and Li Jinyu collided with Humphreys again.

After landing, Li Jinyu was knocked to pieces by the opponent's strong impact, and rolled on the ground before he could get up. However, in the air, his watermelon rind was the first to earn the first point, and the ball did not bounce in the direction that the England player had imagined.

"Mine!" Li Tie roared.

After a long period of tacit cooperation, he fully understood the ejection angle of the watermelon peel. Just a glance at it will tell you the approximate landing point of the ball.

Three steps and two steps, Li Tie rushed to the front and back of the ball, immediately stood firm, and pouted his buttocks.

In the next second, there was a muffled "bang" behind him, and an England midfielder couldn't brake and crashed into Li Tie.

However, this kind of impact is just a pediatric for Li Tie, after resisting the opponent's first wave of rushing, he immediately pulled the ball and turned around, raising his eyes to find the direction of his teammates.

But at this moment, a black leather foot appeared in front of Li Tie's feet at some point. With a slight hook, the ball will be swept away.

"Haha, the ball is mine!" Dyer chuckled inwardly. I just wanted to accelerate with the ball, but suddenly I felt a burst of darkness, and I fell to the ground as if I had tripped on an iron bar.

How can there be iron bars on the court?

Dale, who had fallen into a, turned his head and just saw Sui Dongliang on one knee on the ground and hurriedly stood up.

He ignored Dyer, who fell behind him, and ignored the referee who was close at hand. As long as the whistle doesn't blow, his attention is on the pitch.

"Gazi, catch the ball!" Sui Dongliang looked at the gap and immediately withdrew a straight plug towards Zhang Xiaorui.

Zhang Xiaorui faced the incoming ball, turned his back to the England goal and was ready to receive the ball.

But the moment the ball came to his feet, it suddenly moved horizontally to the right side of the ball and turned to the left.

Humphreys, who had just stood up to force the defense, was stuck behind him with his back all the time, and swept it perfectly.

Zhang Xiaorui's hand has also been used by Sun Jihai before, this way of facing the ball and turning back, it is easy to deceive the defenders behind him, and at the same time achieve the purpose of getting rid of the opponent.

As Zhang Xiaorui, who has the best foot work in the team, his series of actions only ushered in the applause of the fans' encouragement. If this trick appears at the feet of others, maybe some fans will stand up and cheer.

After letting Humphreys pass, Zhang Xiaorui buckled with his left foot and took the ball to the right front.

Although his body was in a position to protect the ball, he underestimated the impact of Upson, who rushed from the left.

Matthew. Upson is the quintessential English defender, tall, physical, and adept at winning and heading the ball.

This kind of defender will show obvious characteristics such as slow turning when facing speed and flexible forwards, but if this kind of guy finds an opportunity to get close, it will definitely be a nightmare for the first two.

Zhang Xiaorui just didn't check, and was knocked away by the opponent with the ball.

After stumbling three or five steps, the ball was kicked out by Zhang Xiaorui's right foot to a distance of three meters.

After barely maintaining his balance, Zhang Xiaorui fought to catch up, hoping to control the ball again.

However, just as he was about to touch the ball, a white figure stepped out and pushed it back to Carragher further behind.

Seeing that the opponent's ball had been controlled by the opponent, Zhang Xiaorui gritted his teeth, directly passed the passer, and went straight to Carragher.

Carragher didn't expect Zhang Xiaorui to be so reluctant, and he didn't find another pick-up friend after taking a step back. I had to turn around and push the ball back to the goalkeeper.

Seeing the other party send back, Zhang Xiaorui stopped. Taking a breath, he retreated towards the backcourt.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the other Chinese players hurriedly retreated and returned to their defensive positions.

"Gazi, why don't you grab it again?" After returning to the midfield, Zhang Xiaorui got the complaints of his teammates.

"Damn, I've grabbed the defender, how can I grab the goalkeeper when he passes back?"

'You shouldn't just stop and keep trying for the goalkeeper so you have a chance.'

"Please!" Zhang Xiaorui rolled his eyes, "We are forcing our teammates to buy time, not seeking the opponent's vacancy to steal chickens." You don't look at how far I am from the goalkeeper, it's all for nothing! ”

"Okay, you can do it yourself. If you don't force it in place, see how Brother Ou and the coach clean you up. ”

Zhang Xiaorui pouted and didn't make any more stubble.

In fact, he was a little out of breath just by taking a few steps towards Carragher. It's okay to rush once or twice, knowing that the odds are small. But now it's the team's all-game strategy, and he doesn't know how long he can hold out.

Similar scrambles continue, and as long as the ball is lost in midfield, the frontcourt players will definitely start a counter-attack on the spot. Such a hard push made the British team uncomfortable for a while, and the second half played 10 minutes without a decent counter-attack.

Although Zhang Ran, Li Weifeng and others were lightweight, the pressure and rapid physical strength in the first half fell on the midfielders.

At the moment, they gritted their teeth, little by little, fulfilling the plan set by the coach in the middle of the field. But gradually, with the loss of physical strength, the frequency of attacks also decreased.

Except for fierce battles in midfield, both sides rarely attack the opponent's penalty area.

Time passed little by little, and the two teams seemed to be at a stalemate, and neither could help the other.

"I'll admit it, I'm underestimating the Chinese team." Seeing that the Chinese team and England can play equally, a scout in the stands sighed.

"I've said a long time ago that this youth team is different from their national team. They have the Brazilian style of play, they also have the delicacy of the Asians, and now you also see the blood of the Chinese. Oh, my God! It's like being in the Premier League! ”

In the middle of the court, Li Tie and Upson collided.

In an instant, the powerful force of the punch was transmitted into the air on every inch of the bones and muscles of the two men. Looking at the bodies of the two of them shaking at the same time, there seemed to be spatial fluctuations in that piece of land.

Although Li Tie looked thinner, he didn't take half a step back.

After the two collided together, you pulled me and chased all the way behind the ball, but no one caught up with the ball, and could only watch him slowly roll out of the sideline.

It was just an ordinary England long pass from the back, like fighting for the last ball. After the teammates won the top, they rubbed each other on the court for more than ten meters before they reluctantly separated.

The dirty work in the midfield basically fell on Li Tie, and all this kind of physical collision was done by him.

The fans in the stands were terrified, no one expected that this cabbage head with a baby face would burst out with such a powerful force in his body.

The stalemate continued, and under the desperate defense of Jianlibao players, no one on either side could help anyone.

This Jianlibao team has been playing in Brazil since it was formed. Naturally, it is the style of South Americans who play football.

South Americans like to hold the ball and then pass it forward slowly, giving the feeling of eventually bringing or passing the ball directly into the opponent's goal.

The British team, on the other hand, is looking for a more efficient and concise style of play. From the perspective of the progress of the times, the Chinese team's style of play is obviously a bit outdated.

But after all, it was still the 90s, and at the end of the popularity of classical front midfielders, fans of the Chinese team's style of play were quite buying. It's like a military exercise, going deeper and deeper, layer by layer, and finally breaking through all the lines of defense and getting the offensive.

Zhang Xiaorui, with his skillful foot skills, plays the role of a classical forward midfielder very well.

In this era when the pace of the game is not too fast, it has reaped the attention of a wave of fans.

In addition, on the basis of the South American style of play, the Chinese team implemented a momentary on-the-spot pressing from offense to defense, which won the hearts of the fans.

There are advances and retreats, there are reasons and evidences, there are tensions and relaxations, everyone is desperately pressing, actively attacking, such a game, fans also watch it well.

However, fans forget that the game of football has developed to this day, and victory has become the key to a game. No matter how nice you kick and how smooth the process is. When the result of the game comes, if you don't score as many points as your opponent, then the fans can only be left with regrets.

Looking at the players on both sides on the court, Zhu Guanghu became more and more anxious on the sidelines.

He also knew that his decision was a bit risky, and if he didn't score a goal in a short period of time, he would take the lead in the scoreline. With Jianlibao's current situation, it is difficult to stick to this style of play to the end.

Substitutes on the sidelines have warmed up and are ready to replace the less energetic starters. As long as you replace one, it is a signal to retreat. There is no need to wait for such a dogmatic rule as "second person anti-robbery error", in such a high-end world-class game, it may cause irreparable consequences when the first person does not actively counter-rob.

The game went on for another ten minutes, and Jianlibao was already sweating profusely.

Looking up at the scoreboard, the score on the field was still 0-0.

"That's not good." Taking advantage of the opportunity of the throw-in, Sui Dongliang wiped the sweat from his forehead, and he began to miss Ou Chuliang's suggestion. "If, as Brother Ou said, let's play defensive counterattacks from the beginning. Even if we don't have a lead now, our physical strength can last for a long time. But now..."

"Don't be an afterthought!" Li Jinyu also looked tired, and beads of sweat fell down his sideburns, "I knew this was the case, why did I go in the first place?" I also regret not listening to Brother Ou's advice, but what about now? What can I do? The style of play is our own choice, we all play to this part, do our best to win! ”

"Dayu, Liangzi, tell Gazi to discuss and call No. 3 behind."

Hearing Li Tie's low drink, Zhang and Li turned their heads at the same time.

"Don't look at me, this is what Brother Ou said." Li Tie shrugged his shoulders and signaled that he was just a microphone.

As soon as they heard that it was Ou Chuliang's suggestion brought from the backfield, the two of them looked shocked, and ran towards Zhang Xiaorui and the discussion separately.

Soon, the order given by Ou Chuliang spread throughout the audience.

Ou Chuliang's order came at a very good time, and at the moment when everyone's physical strength reached a critical point, they could get a short "life extension" because of the new tactical goal.

Of course, if you haven't taken down your opponent after another ten minutes. Even if there are any new skills and methods, the players will not have the physical strength to support them.

In other words, the players invisibly took out their reserve physical strength in overtime and executed a new tactical order.

In the 74th minute, the ball came to Zhang Xiaorui's feet again.

Although the moment when the Chinese team switched from offense to defense was very fast, it was a bit grinding from defense to offense, and there seemed to be a feeling of not passing the ball to Zhang Xiaorui's feet and not attacking.

In this case, the Englishman also had plenty of time to react and prepare defensively.

As a classical striker, the overall situation is his weakness, but he is still young and is working hard to make up for this with experience.

Skillful footwork controlled the ball, keeping the British from making a rash move.

But this time, Zhang Xiaorui has a fixed goal. As he frequently looked up, he kept looking for holes in the opponent's defense.

Since the whole team already knows the new instructions, Sun Zhi, as a supporting role, keeps using his running position and interspersing to pull the England defense and create gaps for his teammates.

Sun Zhi's back and forth has made the British defenders tired of it, they know that Sun Zhi is a speed striker, and thanks to Owen's team-mate, they know how to defend the speed striker.

Gradually, a defender began to run in the footsteps of Sun Zhi. In the constantly moving defense line of the two, Zhang Xiaorui's eyes lit up, and he paused his feet to open the gap with a fake shake. Then with a push of the arch of his right foot, the ball instantly rushed out of the ground.

The millimetre-accurate pass slipped away from the feet of the two defenders in an instant, and everyone held their breath as they got in front of the third.

Upson's tall figure appears in front of the ball, and his wide frame always gives a sense of security. Anyone can feel at ease with a teammate like this by their side at any given time.

But at this moment, the tall defender didn't seem to anticipate the danger. His gaze had just been taken away by Sun Zhi who was running in front of him, and he didn't notice the ball rolling in front of him at all.

In fact, as long as he gently extends his left foot, he can intercept this pass that is not very powerful.

"Matthew !!"

As Carragher yelled desperately, Upson's neck turned extremely slowly as if it were rusty.

Shout!

In an instant, the ball disappeared from Upson's blind spot. When he turned his head after hearing Carragher's roar, the ball had slipped away on his toes.

Until the discussion that suddenly inserted behind him chased the ball, he didn't find out where the ball went.

This time, the linesman did not raise the small flag in his hand. The two linesmen saw it clearly, and when the ball rolled two metres behind Upson, the deliberations were able to get out of the crowd.

But at this time, there was only one defender around the ball, Upson, a tall centre-back, who was still counting question marks for the ball.

"Good shot!"

"It's time to discuss a single knife!"

"There was no offside this time, it was a good goal!"

"Deliberation !!"

In Zhang Lu's exclamation, facing the attacking goalkeeper, he raised his right foot and kicked the ball out from above his left foot across the ground.

At this time, Carragher was still angry at why Upson turned his head so slowly, and he didn't notice that a red figure suddenly came out, grabbed a kick in front of him, and pushed the ball into the empty goal.

"Hey, the ball is in!"

"It's Li Jinyu!"

"In the 75th minute of the game, Li Jinyu took the lead in breaking the deadlock on the field!"

"The Chinese team leads 1-0!"

Li Jinyu immediately ran towards the fans on the sidelines after scoring the goal, but before he could run a few steps, he was knocked down by Sun Zhi, who was chasing behind him. Then it was Sui Dongliang, discussing, Li Weifeng and others also rushed to his side, constantly ravaging the watermelon peels that had already been fragmented.

"It was a game-changing goal!"

"Instigated by No. 11 Zhang Xiaorui, No. 13 discussed the assist, and No. 9 Li Jinyu finally completed the final kick."

"This goal fully played the style of the Jianlibao youth team, and it was their signature goal."

"Will this goal make new history?"

"In another 15 minutes, the answer will be revealed."

In the stands, the fans stood up again and waved the five-star red flag in their hands.

At this moment, Li Jinyu was lying on the grass panting heavily. He closed his eyes and enjoyed the silence of the last moment before the storm.
