Chapter 253: On the Dying Occasion (First Update)
The knockout game conceded first, and the attack was still on the sunny side of the field - although it was already evening, the Chinese team's psychology of eagerness to equalize and the formation of pressing on the big pressure had made everyone on the sidelines sweat!
Lu Zhuhu also wanted to remind his teammates on the field that the ten minutes after being scored was the most dangerous time! In the image, the Chinese team seems to have conceded two goals in a row and finally collapsed.
Unfortunately, the worry became a reality in the blink of an eye—even ten minutes or less. This should not be a true reflection of the strength of both sides, and it is debatable whether the final shot must not be able to resist. If the first goal of the British team Bao Jiaping was slow, but the save was in place, the second goal did not play the performance of a goalkeeper of his level.
This time, Bao Jiaping obviously did not have sufficient preparation for Finch's shot, did not make a move and prediction in advance, and even when the British team entered the penalty area, he was completely panicked because he was worried about conceding another goal, and the opponent's low-quality shot was easily hit.
"It's hard! It's hard! Everyone in the audience shook their heads and sighed in despair, yesterday they witnessed the basketball team being abused by the Japanese, and today they watched the football team swallow two goals in a row, and it was inevitable that they would lose in the end. After all, the big ball is a collective event, and the lack of performance makes the whole country lose face.
At this time, Mo Jinhua stood up, and Zhenfan asked her strangely where she was going. "If you don't look at it, you're going to lose!"
"Uncle Lu hasn't been on it yet."
"It's the same when you go to football, football is not a one-person sport!" Miss Mo has lived in the UK for a long time and still knows a lot about football. After thinking about it, he sat back down. Mr. Big frowned and reprimanded in a low voice: "Even if our side loses, you will have to wait until the end of the game before you can leave, and when you can't enter the second match, will your teammates have no one to cheer you on?" The eldest lady's face flushed slightly, and she didn't squeak again.
In the 70th minute of the game, the Chinese team replaced Xu Yahui, the vice-captain with a potential ankle injury, with Lu Zhuhu, hoping that he could bring some changes to the Chinese team, which was gradually falling into decline. Of course, the "hidden danger" should behave as if it is already painful and cannot be adhered to - the rules still need to be respected.
In the most passive period before, in the face of the British team's pressing, the Chinese team's backfield once fell into passivity, and the midfielders had problems running and responding, basically responding behind the opponent's strikers, and the standing position of the entire backfield personnel was too flat, without depth and back and forth between each other. Xu Yahui's injury affected his running, not to mention that his coverage was not as large as that of Lu Zhuhu. Even if the Chinese team wants to play the most direct long pass like the British team, the height of the frontcourt players does not guarantee the success rate of the long pass, and it is easy to be intercepted by the British.
This also gives the British team a great convenience when attacking, the Chinese team's attacking players and midfielders are not compact, and the space in it will be used, but the British team instead uses the high ball, uses the gap area to control the second, third or even fourth points, and then quickly transfers the side, makes one-on-one breakthroughs and advances, and then crosses to grab points. Many offensives are divided by the middle after taking the ball, and Vinci continues to break through the Chinese team's right-back Tan Jiangbai one-on-one, Tan Jiangbai has been playing for three consecutive days, and his physical strength is almost overdrawn, and Finch is almost one hit one by one.
After the most commonly used midfield lineup returned, Lu Zhuhu and Chen Zhen and the two forwards pulled back and forth, one left and one right, and the oblique and vertical space was pulled out, and the entire backcourt passing link returned to smoothness. When defending, Lu Zhuhu also did not hesitate to retreat directly to the back and directly opposite Finch, while Tan Jiangbai moved to the middle to control the high ball. This had an immediate effect, Lu Zhuhu was like a needle in the sea, and the Chinese team's defense was re-stabilized, pulling the team back from the precarious cliff edge.
This immediately made the eyes of the three head coaches of the British giants from the stands shine, China Lu is really plug and play, no matter what position he wants to play, he will have an excellent performance!
But these are far from enough for the eager Chinese audience! Defending solidly, of course, is essential, but the little time left is draining little hope. The Chinese team needs a goal to turn the tide!
The ball was at the feet of the Tiger, and the British could not snatch it. Without the disconnection between the backcourt and the frontcourt, Lu Zhuhu will not be able to get out of the frontcourt to participate in the attack for the time being.
In the 74th minute, after Lu Zhuhu took the ball to the midfield, he passed the ball diagonally to Li Huitang, Li Huitang picked up the penalty area, and the British team defender Fulton pressed Sun Jinshun with an obvious height advantage in the penalty area, but he cleared the ball with a header but sent the ball to Feng Jingxiang, and Feng Jingxiang swept in the penalty area!
It's a pity to be out of the ordinary!
But in fact, at the moment of Li Huitang's pass, several members of the Chinese team were in an offside position, and even if they scored, it was invalid.
The British team's counter-attack was no longer as effective as before, and the attack on the left was no longer feasible because of the interference of the Chinese team's new arrival. You can't hit the hard mid lane. The Chinese team regained a little initiative and set off a wave of small ** in the attack.
In the 77th minute, Li Huitang burst into the penalty area with the ball horizontally and shot with his feet, and Hill flew to save the ball from the bottom line.
Ye Beihua's corner kick was cleared by the British in advance.
In the 79th minute, it was Li Huitang who received Lu Zhuhu's pass, and after a continuous breakthrough, he divided the ball on the left side, Ye Beihua crossed the ball, and Cao Guicheng tried to head the ball to the top of the ball by a fraction of a millimeter - he only hated that his parents couldn't give birth to him two more centimeters.
In the 82nd minute, Li Huitang was brought down at the front of the British team's penalty area, and the Chinese team got a free kick opportunity, but it was too far from the goal, and Li Huitang took the penalty and hit the British player and was ejected......
Gain power, but no points.
For the British team in this game, there is no surprise that the three experienced managers from the United Kingdom are not as good as those under them, and the 2 goals are not very exciting, but after all, they are still more happy on behalf of the British Empire. They are even more than the performance of these players in the Chinese team, the previous encounters, and what they see on the field now, they have to admit that Lu Zhuhu's rhetoric when he contacted a club is not completely boastful, and it is even a pity that these players work so hard, but they can't even score a goal.
Lu Zhuhu spent a lot of time vigilantly guarding the backfield, watching the attacks being blocked again and again, and he couldn't help but be a little anxious. What's the point if your months of hard work only make these teammates on the pitch look better, but don't help the score!
If others can't do it, then you can only come by yourself!
Lu Zhuhu rushed forward with the ball, and the previous times he chose to pass diagonally to the midfield, and the British players would tacitly defend a few points on the offensive line of the Chinese team in the penalty area - but this time Lu Zhuhu committed suicide all the way from the midfield to the penalty area, and when the British team found out his intentions, Lu Zhuhu was almost to the big penalty area line, and directly volleyed vigorously after throwing off the defenders!
