Chapter 227: The group stage is over

Wu Lei saw Li Xuepeng's incoming ball, shook off Glenqvist, jumped high, directly on top of the ball, and threw it heavily, and the football flying in the middle of his head.

"Bang!"

This time, Wu Lei from starting, running to the end of the burst, is a world-class level, not even much worse than the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League.

However, at the next moment, Wu Lei told the world why he has not yet been unable to become Villarreal's number one striker.

In the face of this header that was not too difficult, Wu Lei was high, and the football jumped directly over the goal crossbar and flew out of the bottom line.

"Wow!" Dai Zhiwei regretfully smashed his upper and lower teeth against each other, controlling his subconscious desire to shake his head.

If it is placed in Manchester United, whether it is Rashford, Martial, or Giroud, this goal is 100% scored, but unfortunately now he is playing for the national team, Wu Lei is already the second best player in the team, and other teammates can't even run out of this opportunity.

Although Wu Lei's header did not score, the Swedish goalkeeper Olsen was still angry, and roared at the team's backline dissatisfied.

Olsen then threw the player to Sebastian Larsson, and the Swedish team still relied on his outstanding skills and the cooperation of several players in the front court, frequently creating threats for the Chinese team, making the Chinese team's ball unable to run smoothly.

Dai Zhiwei is tired of running in midfield most of the time, and he can't get close to the goal at all, and although he has some good passes, he can form very few effective attacks.

He has become accustomed to being only responsible for scoring goals at Manchester United, and he can only be a father and a mother in the Chinese team.

Ekdal got a pass from Granqvist at the back, kicked it wide, and the ball raced across the half-court and quickly passed the ball to the feet of Marcus Berry, who had already stepped forward.

Marcus Berry flicked his right foot, followed by a buckle, shook off Artemisia Junmin's center of gravity, and did not move to the side, but continued to turn to the middle, and Artemisia Junmin followed him deadly.

Out of the corner of his eye, Marcus Berry caught a glimpse of a yellow figure running at high speed, and sent it directly, and the ball passed from Yu Hanchao's body to the feet of Sebastian Larsson, who was inserted at high speed.

After Sebastian Larsson won the ball, he used his not bulky movements to dribble the ball, and Zhang Linpeng had already quickly made up for it, and the latter, after attracting Zhang Linpeng and Yu Hanchao to let go, decisively split the side and gave the ball to Granqvist who was inserted behind.

Glenqvist got on the ball from Sebastien Larsson without any pause and then slotted it vigorously to the left, where Forsberg was already running at high speed.

Forsberg used his speed advantage to shake off Zhang Chengdong, got the ball, and galloped in the Chinese team's penalty area, ready to deliver the fatal blow, Zhang Linpeng could only rush over in a panic to fill the position.

Forsberg ignored Zhang Linpeng, used his speed and technique to advance with the ball in front of Zhang Linpeng, and soon arrived near the small penalty area, Zeng Cheng immediately came over to stand in the near corner of Forsberg.

Forsberg took the ball, his body shook, and he was about to break through along the sideline, Zhang Linpeng's center of gravity moved, and then he pulled his body, and the ball instantly moved to the right side, and Zhang Linpeng's center of gravity was already a little unbalanced with Forsberg's movements.

Forsberg immediately followed by the high-speed start of his body, and the instantaneous speed far exceeded Zhang Linpeng's reaction speed, and he cut to the outside of Zhang Linpeng, and there was a big gap, and before Zhang Chengdong who rushed over, he sent the ball to the small penalty area, where there were already two Swedish players outflanked.

“gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooal! Toivonen, he poked the ball into the goal before Zeng Cheng, we took the lead, beautiful breakthrough, beautiful grab! The commentator of the Swedish team saw Toivonen, who suddenly appeared in front of Zeng Cheng, poke the ball into the goal, and shouted excitedly, and the fatal pass of the Swedish team finally appeared.

0:1!

"Oh! Toivonen! Sweden! Sweden! The Swedish fans at the scene finally woke up from the suffocating atmosphere just now, saw their team leading, the whole stadium once again set off red waves, and the noisy shouts shook the ears of the Chinese team fans, and they were also eager for their team to give them the opportunity to shout.

"I'm still fucked!"

Dai Zhiwei is also a little helpless, the Chinese team fell into a comprehensive disadvantage in this game, although the opponent is not strong, compared to his Manchester City, Rome, Real Madrid in the past month or so The difference is not a few grades, but in addition to the striker, every player on the other side is better than the Chinese team players.

It's hard to win!

Although Lippi has studied the Swedish team thoroughly enough, the Chinese team is at such a level, and now the advantage that the Chinese team occupied at the beginning of the game has disappeared, and the situation has been gradually controlled by the Swedish team.

After the restart, the Chinese team, under the leadership of Dai Zhiwei, did not rush to equalize after falling behind.

Dai Zhiwei has realized that the Swedish team's back line has a special tactic for him, and once the Chinese team presses the onslaught, then it is very likely that stealing chickens will not be lost, but the opponent will seize the omission in the back line and score another goal.

Seeing Dai Zhiwei's decision, Lippi also nodded with satisfaction, which is why he chose Dai Zhiwei as the captain of the team.

Although Dai Zhiwei played the least number of games among the Chinese players on the field, the quality of the game was the highest, and his understanding of the game situation completely crushed the other Chinese teammates.

Therefore, although he is a striker, it is he who controls the offensive situation of the Chinese team.

In the 37th minute, Dai Zhiwei got a through plug from Wu Xi in the middle and completed the shot before Glenqvist's block, but it was obtained by Olsen, who was highly concentrated.

This is one of the few shots that the Chinese team has hit within the goal frame.

After the header on goal, Wu Lei was completely lost in front of Sweden's tall defense, and could only rely on Dai Zhiwei's long-range shot from outside the box to threaten the Swedish goal.

The Swedish team once again defended the Chinese team's attack, and after Glenqvist got the ball, he immediately sent the ball to the feet of Ekdal in the middle, and Ekdal also noticed the formation of the Chinese team, and did not give the Chinese team any chance to break the ball, and directly sent the ball to the feet of Toivonen near the center circle.

"Oops!" Dai Zhiwei didn't expect the Swedish team to switch between offense and defense so quickly, so he hurriedly ran back.

But after all, he was the one at the forefront of the Chinese team, and when he ran back, the daylilies were cold.

After Toivonen got the ball, Zhang Linpeng had already leaned up, but the space behind him was too big, Toivonen took the ball a few times, but vigorously sent the ball to Zhang Linpeng's right side, where Zhang Chengdong was still trying his best to return to defense, but there was one person who was faster.

Forsberg saw Ekdal's pass, and the ball was activated as soon as possible, and he ran quickly down the flank.

Sure enough, Toivonen also saw himself, and with a long pass, he tore through the weak defense of the Chinese team in an instant.

Forsberg took advantage of the speed of the ball, strode to receive the ball, and then passed Zhang Chengdong and walked away.

Single Knife!

Can Zeng Cheng withstand it?

“goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooal! We are 2:0 ahead with the Chinese team! The Swedish team commentator saw Forsberg dribbling the ball into the penalty area at high speed, and sent the ball into the net under the armpit of Zeng Cheng, who fell to the ground.

"Sweden! Sweden! The sea of yellow once again covered the Nizhny Novgorod Innsbruck Tivoli Stadium, and all the Swedish fans were excitedly dancing their jerseys, shouting loudly, and venting their excitement to the camera.

The fans of the Chinese team covered their heads, and their faces were full of disbelief.

Lippi turned back to his dugout with some chagrin, and the score of 0:2 was difficult for the veteran coach to accept.

In this game, Lippi was absolutely unwilling to accept defeat, and the silver fox frowned, obviously Lippi still had too much hope for the Chinese team.

Seeing Forsberg's one-handed goal, Dai Zhiwei, who had not yet run to the Chinese team's penalty area, could only stop helplessly.

Although he worked hard and performed remarkably in this game, the Chinese team at this time was not enough to balance the offensive and defensive ends, perhaps, for the current Chinese team, the Swedish team is still too strong?

Lippi frowned as he pondered what to do for the second half, which was already coming to an end.

Then the referee's whistle blew, and the first half of the game was over, and in the last two minutes, the Swedish team set off a surging offensive during the period when the Chinese team was in confusion, but the effect was not good, and it did not even form a shot.

Lippi walked back to the dressing room with a solemn face, and the disappointed expressions of the Chinese players contrasted sharply with the ease of the Swedish team.

"The Swedish team has much more time on the ball than the Chinese team, and the Chinese team is too passive on the field." He Wei was a little annoyed when he saw his country's team concede a goal again.

"Lippi still needs time to adapt to the Chinese team, right?" On the side, Huaxia TV Sports Channel specially invited Yang Yang, a special guest to cooperate with He Wei, the Chinese team's passing scorer, to become the enlightener of the Chinese team.

"I also think that the Chinese team is a little anxious, their midfield hardness is not strong enough, sometimes too frizzy, do you want to win the game too much, play a little simple, did not play to their own advantages, okay everyone, we look forward to what changes the Chinese team will have." He Wei no longer complains about anything.

"Man, you didn't do well today! You have to fight with more confidence and patience! Artemisia, you have to work with both sides more in the second half. And Wu, you change the position, the position should be higher, and there should be more long-range shots from the edge of the penalty area. Wear...... Anyway, I want you to do everything you can to score, you know? Lippi looked at the disciples with a solemn face, and looked at the disciples in an unkind tone, obviously the old man was already going to fight hard.

This game is a life-and-death battle for the Chinese team, if it loses to the Swedish team, the dream of qualifying from the group will be basically shattered, and only by getting 1 point can we ensure that we do not "die".

Ten minutes passed quickly, and the players of the Chinese team, led by Dai Zhiwei, entered the field.

At this time, the players of the Chinese team were all burning fires in their hearts, and the enlightenment of Lippi's midfield made them realize themselves: they were originally poor and barefoot, and in the face of the Swedish team wearing shoes, they were desperate!

"Audience friends, welcome back to the field, our players have already played, I believe that our Chinese men's football team can play in the second half of the fighting spirit and level!" He Wei didn't say anything like equalization and reversal, after all, the gap between the two teams in strength could be clearly seen in the first half, and the only hope for the Chinese team was to look at Dai Zhiwei.

However, no one knows how much pressure Dai Zhiwei is on!

He is the only player in this Chinese team who knows the name of Swedish coach Andersson and is the only target of the Swedish team in this game, he often has to face 1vsN situations when he gets the ball, and he was violated by Sweden 10 times in the first half, allowing the opponent to pay three yellow cards.

If the Chinese team has a striker like Shinji Okazaki, Dai Zhiwei believes that they will definitely be able to break the Swedish defence.

It's a pity that Dai Zhiwei really couldn't find help.

The second half started quickly when Marcus Berry handed the ball to Toivonen.

Dai Zhiwei absolutely does not accept the defeat of this game in his heart, he has proved with his continuous goals that he can change the future of Chinese football, so that the Chinese team has entered this year's World Cup finals, who says that it can't go further?

Wu Lei and Dai Zhiwei's pressing left the ball passed to Forsberg by Toivonen, and then Wu Lei quickly handed it over to his midfielders, and he and Dai Zhiwei ran deep towards the Swedish team.

Yu Hanchao passed the ball back to Zhang Linpeng, unfolding the entire formation, and he was close to the big penalty area, and the ball quickly passed from Zhang Linpeng to Zheng Zhi's feet.

Zheng Zhi took the ball, Klasson came to press, Zheng Zhi dribbled the ball along the sideline, and saw that Sebastian Larsson was also driven to come over and grab, and immediately handed the ball to Yu Hanchao, but Klasson made a sliding tackle and destroyed the ball out of the bottom line.

Then, the two sides began to fight each other in the midfield.

The second half lasted more than ten minutes, but the Chinese team still did not get a good chance, the Swedish team's defense was quite successful, except for Dai Zhiwei's flash of inspiration, the rest of the teammates seemed to be just masked flies.

The midfielder cut off Marcus Berry's pass again, and sent it directly to the feet of Dai Zhiwei, who finally ran out of an empty space, who skillfully cut inside with the ball, and Forsberg had already been given by him, but he was still following his side, and Sebastian Larsson and Jansson also surrounded him, ready to break the ball at any time.

Dai Zhiwei cut to the outside of the big penalty area, Yang Song has been attracted over, he knocked on the momentum, the ball passed through Yang Song's side, and after the ball was divided, he glanced at the penalty area, and Wu Lei had already begun to step forward.

"Good run!" Dai Zhiwei glanced at Wu Lei's running position, and a straight plug in the middle tore through the Swedish team's back line like a scalpel.

Wu Lei jumped out from the right side, quickly shook off Yang Song, and instantly burst into the penalty area, ready to receive Dai Zhiwei's pass, but at the same time Olsen had already attacked.

This time, can Wu Lei grasp it?
