Chapter 554: Too "Naïve"

With Feng Quan's strength, he can calmly deal with the siege of two or three opponents, but it is obviously unrealistic to turn the tide of the game on his own. At the end of the day, football is still an eleven-man sport.

Although the Chinese team once drew with the runner-up of the last World Cup in a friendly match last year, the Dutch team, which is dominated by world-class stars such as Robben and Sneijder, has only played six or seven percent of its strength at most.

With less than half a month to go before the end of the Europa League, most of the Dutch internationals were still physically fatigued, and not enough attention was paid to the Chinese team, which led to the final draw.

Today's Mali team is completely different, although there is a certain gap between their overall strength and the Dutch team, but their level of dedication to the game is incomparable to that of the Dutch team last year.

The physical condition of the Malian players itself is to strengthen the vast majority of Chinese players, coupled with the serious investment in every ball, and the midfield led by Keita, supplemented by Diarra and Sissoko, firmly suppressed the midfield combination of Zheng Zhi and Huang Wenbo, so that the Chinese team can only rely on the strong point of Fengquan as the main breakthrough.

Although the several attacks led by Feng Quan made the Malian team break out in a cold sweat, the Chinese team relied too much on Feng Quan's offensive methods, which made the opponent's defense relatively "easy".

In the view of the Malian players, since the Chinese team's offense is so dependent on Feng Quan, and it is difficult for the strength of others to threaten their own goals, as long as they try to limit Feng Quan's individual attack and not let them get the opportunity to get up calmly, then it will be difficult for the Chinese team to equalize the score.

…………

Although Feng Quan didn't want to see the Chinese team lose, he also wanted to see if he could turn the unfavorable situation around before the end of the first half by relying on the "real" strength of his teammates and his own help without using the skill of [Great God's Light].

However, the cruel reality gave Feng Quan a resounding slap in the face.

Ten minutes after Mali's first goal, Feng Quan forced his way through three defenders in the middle to the edge of the penalty area and did not choose to shoot from distance as before, but distributed the ball to the space on the right flank.

Because Feng Quan's strong burst attracted the attention of most of the Mali team's defense, Yang Xu, who was ambushed in the penalty area at the moment, was almost unguarded.

If Zhao Mingjun, who received the pass on the right side at this time, can send a high-quality cross into the penalty area, then Yang Xu, who has barely been disturbed in any way, will have a good chance to break through the opponent's goal.

However, I don't know if it was a lack of confidence in Yang Xu to grab a point to attack the goal, or too confident in his breakthrough, Zhao Mingjun, who received the full score of the wind, actually chose to break through to the penalty area.

Originally, Zhao Mingjun wanted to burst into the penalty area to attract the attention of the defenders, and then pass the ball to Feng Quan on the edge of the penalty area. It's a pity that at the moment when he passed the ball to Fengquan, the Malian fullback, who had been left behind before, suddenly fell to the ground and shoveled away the ball passed by Zhao Mingjun.

Immediately afterwards, Mali's central defender Diavala rushed forward to grab the point with a big foot before Feng Quan stepped forward to grab the point.

At the next moment, Cheick Diabate, a 1.94-meter-tall high school striker of the Mali team, first pressed Zhang Linpeng to return the football cleared by Diavala to Keita, and then went to the direction of the Chinese team's penalty area after landing.

Keita, who received the ball, first changed direction and shook off Zheng Zhi's tackle, and then sent a through ball straight in front of Diabate.

Zhang Linpeng, known as the "national football Ramos", has a strong body that is rare in Chinese, but he cannot take any advantage in the direct competition with Diabat, who weighs 85 kilograms and is flexible.

Although Diabate is not a speed-oriented striker, the Malian striker who is physically strong and flexible at his feet is stunned by Zhang Linpeng's continuous entanglement and is getting closer and closer to the Chinese team's penalty area.

Seeing that it was difficult for him to stop Diabate from entering the penalty area, Zhang Linpeng had no choice but to shovel him to the ground from the side and back before the opponent entered the penalty area. Immediately afterwards, the referee's shrill whistle was heard not far away, and then Zhang Linpeng was shown a topaz card.

Although Keita, who is the captain of Mali, believes that the referee should send Zhang Linpeng, who "destroys the attacker's obvious scoring opportunity", out of the field, but considering that this game is just an ordinary friendly match, and it is played at the home of the Chinese team, the referee from Japan just showed Zhang Linpeng a yellow card.

However, just when the Chinese players were still rejoicing in Zhang Linpeng's foul, Keita, who was holding his breath, took advantage of the free kick created by Diabate to hit a very wonderful curling goal.

…………

Although Feng Quan really wanted to lead the Chinese team to win the game without using the [Light of the Great God], looking at the football that rolled into the goal after hitting the net, Feng Quan also had to admit that his thoughts were really a little "naïve".

However, considering that head coach Fu Bo is likely to make personnel adjustments at halftime, Feng Quan is ready to wait until the second half of the game to use [Great God Light], so as to avoid the embarrassing situation of teammates who have just received "amplification" but are replaced by the head coach in advance.

Sure enough, as Feng Quan expected, Fu Bo first expressed his dissatisfaction with the Chinese team's over-reliance on Feng Quan in the first half of the game at halftime.

Yes, it is indeed difficult for the defense of the Mali team to contain Feng Quan's individual attack, but it is not wise to press all the treasures on Feng Quan's body. First, it will accelerate Feng Quan's physical exertion; Second, a single offensive method can also easily allow the Malian team to form a targeted defense.

Therefore, the Chinese team's running in the second half of the game should not only be more active, but also more players should participate in the offense, rather than blindly passing the ball to Feng Quan like the Chinese basketball team in Yao Ming's era, and then let him alone take on the opponent's entire defense.

In the end, Fu Bo also replaced Yang Xu and Zhao Mingjun, who did not play well in the first half, with Gao Lin and Xu Xin before the start of the second half. When Fu Bo completed the personnel adjustment, Feng Quan immediately turned on the [Great God's Light].

When Feng Quan turned on the skill of [Great God's Light], the Chinese team's on-field performance immediately changed immediately.

Zheng Zhi and Huang Wenbo, who were stubbornly suppressed by the Mali midfielder led by Keita in the first half of the game, "snatched" the control of the midfield from the opponent's hands as if they had been reborn; Zhang Linpeng, who was miserable in the face of Diabat, who was physically strong and flexible, also once again showed his style as "national football Ramos"; Sun Ke, who is like "invisible" on the right side, also began to boldly try to break through with the ball.

Of course, the biggest beneficiary of [Great God's Light] is Gao Lin, who appeared in the second half.

Just 6 minutes into the second half, Feng Quan cut inside from the left side to the edge of the penalty area and then first made a long-range shot, and when the two defenders of the opposing team rushed to block the shot at the same time, he suddenly sent a through ball to the empty space on the right side of the penalty area.

Gao Lin, who had squandered three chances in the previous game against Macedonia, calmly pushed the ball into the bottom right corner of the net before the Malian defenders could finish blocking......
