Chapter 164: Two Goals
Guan Xiaolong spread out his hands, and the expression on his face seemed to tell everyone: "I'm helpless, this can also enter." ”
Su Maozhen had already jumped up happily, he didn't expect the Huaguo team to take the lead so quickly. The opponent is a football powerhouse in West Asia, Saudi Arabia!
Saudi Arabia, translated in Guan Xiaolong's broken English, should be called Saud. But I'm sorry, you can't make a fuss today, let me play tricks...... Handsome.
The Saudi head coach was unconvinced, complaining to the fourth official: "Why did they attack without waiting for the referee to blow the whistle?" And the foul just now, the other party made a move first, okay!? ”
The fourth official actually didn't understand what the Saudi coach was doing in Balabala, but he probably got there, so he explained that the referee had a gesture to continue the game and had to listen to the referee.
The Saudi head coach chattered and cursed for a while in the coach's command area. But his actions could not change the score on the field, and the players had no choice but to return to the center circle to kick off.
The Huaguo team was blown up here, and the teammates hugged Guan Xiaolong excitedly.
"Grass! Xiaolong, you are too strong! ”
"Awesome!"
The Chinese fans at the scene were even more cheerful, and the rhythm of the good start! It seems that it did not come in vain!
Saudi Arabia restarted the ball and attacked on the flanks. To say that the opponent's speed is really fast, the side has to eat the Chinese fullbacks raw.
"Hmm!"
There was an exclamation at the scene, and the opposing winger's shot was full of power, which seemed to be a great threat but actually deviated from the goal.
Saudi Arabia, who were one goal behind, stepped up their control in midfield and established control in midfield with their physical advantage. Guan Xiaolong and his front teammates also temporarily withdrew from the half court to participate in the defense.
The national youth team withstood the attack wave of Saudi Arabia for about ten minutes, and Jiang Yunbo cut off the ball in the backfield.
Jiang Yunbo looked up and passed the ball to Guan Xiaolong as soon as possible.
"Hey Lao Jiang, how good it is to quit smoking, you see that you are not false at all now!" Guan Xiaolong smiled and stopped the ball.
The Saudi Arabian team paid special attention to the Xiaolong before the game, but they only arranged a special person to defend and did not implement joint defense. This has given Guan Xiaolong a lot of convenience, especially now that the guy who is in charge of keeping an eye on Guan Xiaolong is still attacking in front, completely ignoring the follow-up of Guan Xiaolong.
After Guan Xiaolong won the ball, he only had two fullbacks in front of him who were urgently approaching, and two central defenders who were desperately chasing back.
“TF!” The Saudi head coach blurted out.
Guan Xiaolong decisively moved forward with the ball, and he also aimed at Wu Lei and Wang Shengli. But he doesn't want to pass the ball for the time being, and seriously, now it's said that only I can hold it!
Guan Xiaolong rushed towards the slightly nervous Saudi right-back, and shook from side to side to swing past him in a pendulum fashion. The moment he got rid of it, he also strode the ball 10 meters away.
"Alas!!" The Saudi coach hides his face with his right hand.
Because Guan Xiaolong started quickly and broke through so decisively, that the players who returned to the defense didn't have to chase back, Guan Xiaolong had already burst into front of the penalty area.
Facing the goalkeeper who was helpless, Guan Xiaolong made an arc with his right foot. The goalkeeper flickered and slammed into the ball. But Guan Xiaolong's shot with a strong internal spin opened an arc and drilled into the bottom right corner of the goal.
"Yay!!"
"Another goal! I'm not dreaming, am I!? ”
"I remember, this player is Guan Xiaolong of Real Sociedad, right?"
"I think I've heard of ......"
After Guan Xiaolong scored, he opened his arms and turned to see Jiang Yunbo, Dai Hong and the others running towards him like crazy, shouting loudly.
Hehe, brothers, brother will take you to pretend to be B! Guan Xiaolong had a faint smile on his face.
"Grass, it's so fast!" Jiang Yunbo slapped Guan Xiaolong on the back with a palm.
Dai Hong straightened up his chest and bumped into Guan Xiaolong's pectoral muscles. Then Guan Xiaolong was overwhelmed by his teammates, everyone was so excited, this national youth team has been built up to now, and has never played such a cool game, can you not be happy?
If the opponent is a small team, forget it, this is Saudi Arabia, West Asia powerhouse!
"Made, crush me!" Guan Xiaolong struggled to push the people above away.
The scene fell into a frenzy, and the excitement of the fans could not be dissipated for a long time.
Only 25 minutes into the opening game, the Saudi team fell behind 0-2, and the 4231 counterattack tactics of the Chinese team were effective.
In terms of strength on paper, the Saudi team is actually not much better than the Chinese team. They are characterized by their speed, creativity and ability to attack on the front line, and they are not afraid to play against people in the Asian region.
And the strength of this national youth team is also okay, the gap in the strength of the youth army is not large, everyone is fighting and hard work.
In terms of tactics in this game, Su Mao really arranged a more pragmatic arrangement, while the head coach of the Saudi team obviously underestimated the enemy. Guan Xiaolong is the key point to change the balance on the field, and not restricting Guan Xiaolong is a major negligence of the Saudi coach.
In the first half, the two sides exchanged attacks and defenses, and the Saudi team failed to equalize.
In the second half, the Saudi coach began to limit Guan Xiaolong's range of activities. The effect is obvious, Guan Xiaolong was stared at by two strong defenders and defenders this time, and it was difficult for him to calmly get the ball after the opponent implemented a zone joint defense.
In the 60th minute of the game, the Saudi team broke the ball in front of the court and stuffed a single kick out. The opposing striker flashed into the penalty area and shot through the gate of the national youth.
Seeing hope, the Saudi team was full of fighting spirit and wanted to continue to do things, which exerted tremendous pressure on the Chinese team.
Guan Xiaolong was very depressed when he was restricted, these two buddies were darker than him, and they kept moving in their hands, preferring to stop them at the cost of a foul rather than let Guan Xiaolong move forward with the ball.
If Guan Xiaolong wants to get the ball, he can only return to his own half to receive it, otherwise as soon as he receives the ball, he will face more than two people on the other side.
In the 74th minute, the Saudi team launched an attack on the side. The opponent's striker, who is known as 11 seconds of 100 meters, is really strong, forcing Dai Hong to foul twice at the edge of the penalty area, and giving the opponent two free kicks with super good chances.
Fortunately, the opponent's footwork is average, and they did not take advantage of these opportunities to catch up or even overtake.
The Saudi coach kept motivating the players on the sidelines to press, and the players on the field were firmly in control. Both coaches are on the bench at this time to ensure the physical strength of the players on the field.
The Saudi coach really doesn't just care about face, although the first leg of the loss to the Chinese team is indeed a bit unbearable, after all, he said a lot at the press conference. But more importantly, they have to play the Japanese team in the second game, and it will not be easy to win against them.
Originally, Saudi Arabia's strategy was to win China and Syria, so it basically qualified. Playing against Japan, a draw or a small loss is OK.
Now that the first game is about to capsize, the game is about to end, it is a blessing to be able to draw, where do you dare to talk about winning.
"Let Andub warm up!" The Saudi coach instructed him to decide to use the last substitution on the attack.
