Chapter 258: The Old Situation

After the Iraqi defender tackled the ball, he swept it to the midfield. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Looking at the football being kicked by himself, he actually has a strong sense of unreality.

I actually broke the No. 10 of the Chinese team so easily?

He stood up in disbelief, turned his head to look at the coach on the sidelines, and saw that the coach was nodding to him.

Seeing that the guy who was evaluated by the Asian media as the most anticipated player in this cup before this game was actually frightened by his own actions, the defender also had a great sense of accomplishment in his heart.

"Iraq is attacking again, and there is still no threat."

"Hey, hey! This time the Chinese team, in fact, in addition to Lin Yi, the other players also have a certain strength, and the defense is very solid. ”

As soon as Zhang Lu finished speaking, Iraq's double forward midfielder hit the ball into the Chinese team's penalty area through a cooperation.

In fact, as Zhang Lu said, the Chinese team's strength on paper in this competition is still very strong.

Most of the main players are already important players in their respective clubs, if not the main players.

But football is round, and many times, winning or losing is not something that can be explained by strength on paper.

Iraq took advantage of the momentum of cutting off Lin Yi's ball, and actually hit the ball directly into the hinterland of the Chinese team.

Not only that, but their leading forward midfielder also played a very chic escape move in the penalty area.

Zhang Lu and Duan Xuan in the live broadcast room were still analyzing the strength of the Chinese team, and they were not too nervous when they saw the opponent bring the ball into their own penalty area.

The starting goalkeeper of the Chinese team was temporarily adjusted to Dong Chunyu from Evergrande before the game.

This young goalkeeper has good strength, although he can't get many opportunities in Evergrande, but his psychological quality is quite good.

In fact, the psychological quality of a goalkeeper largely determines his development potential, and at least a player with better psychological quality will be able to make more reasonable defensive choices when facing a single ball or a penalty.

The two commentators were not convinced that Iraq would be able to score on the first attack.

Watching the opposing striker receive and take the ball, the two men were ready to turn the conversation to their own striker.

But before he could speak, he saw the Iraqi players rushing to the sidelines and hugging each other.

The score was 0-1, and after the Chinese team's opening two attacks were fruitless, they were fatally hit by the opponent.

Duan Xuan glared at his already small eyes, looked at the score and the replay on the screen, and swallowed back the words that were about to comment on Zhang Wei.

"Yi ...... The Rak team took the lead, opening nine minutes and relying on a counter-attack, which was very ...... Broke the Chinese goal with precision. ”

When Zhang Lu said this, it was intermittent, because he didn't believe it was true at all.

Here is also talking about how good the current Chinese team is, and it was scored by the opponent in a blink of an eye?

Fu Bo on the sidelines slapped his thigh hard, can he also lose the ball?!

What he was most worried about before the game happened, in such a game, conceding the ball first is definitely not good for the team, and more importantly, the opponent seems to have found a way to limit Lin Yi.

So what should I do now? Replace Lin Yi? Or let him continue to fight and see the effect?

Replacing Lin Yi is by no means what he wants, Lin Yi's ability is undoubted, even if he is restricted by the opponent in this way, but as long as he can have a brilliant performance, it is enough to change the team's disadvantage.

At the moment in China, countless bars and people's homes, as long as there are football fans, all they hear are endless shouting.

But this kind of emotion and dissatisfaction, it seems that there are really not many against the goalkeeper.

Most fans pointed the finger at Lin Yi, who should be the biggest darling of the team, and blamed the captain for his mistakes.

"At his level, how did he become the captain?"

"Actually, his level is still good, but he has a bit of a psychological problem."

"That's not the same, the whole paper tiger! You don't have to poke it to break! ”

The above is still a relatively rational analysis, as for some radical fans, they have said a lot of greetings to Lin Yi's family.

Lin Yi didn't know the reaction of the fans, and even if he knew, he wouldn't care.

What he needs to do most now is to find a way to equalize the score quickly and not let the opponent chase after the victory.

But judging from the opponent's defense just now, it is obvious that they have mastered, or rather determined, the way to deal with themselves.

Maybe it was a goal that came a little too easily, or maybe Iraq didn't care that much about the game.

Anyway, they didn't show much excitement after the goal.

It's just that after a hug between teammates, they dispersed and continued to prepare for the next game.

Zhang Wei and Lin Yi stood in the middle circle again and prepared to kick off, he frowned and looked at Lin Yi as if he was fine.

"I really didn't expect to meet you here so soon."

Lin Yi shrugged, "I originally thought that neither of us would meet here again in this game. ”

"Can you stand it, why are you so empty, you were scared by others."

Lin Yi didn't refute his striker, but just expanded his chest and let out a sigh.

"Don't talk so much about it, let's find a chance later, their defense still gives us a chance."

Zhang Wei wanted to speak again, but the referee had already blown the whistle to signal them to kick off.

Zhang Wei kicked the ball to Lin Yi, but Lin Yi did not pass back this time, but retreated with the ball himself.

In the tactical setting of the Chinese team, their double back almost does not participate in the team's positional attack, as long as they protect the gap left behind Lin Yi's attack.

But it's a pity that when Lin Yi first exposed the gap, they didn't protect it well and gave the opponent a goal in the counterattack.

Lin Yi controlled the football in the midfield, and this time he did not rush forward.

Iraq has obviously found a way to deal with themselves, and it is certainly impossible to overcome these problems in a single game, so how should I deal with them?

Lin Yi controlled the ball in the center circle, looking for an opportunity to pass forward.

The captain of Iraq pressed at him again, and Lin Yi saw that his body seemed to have begun to sink.

In order to prevent the ball from being broken again, Lin Yi could only choose to pass the ball back to Maitijiang.

"The Chinese team had a bad start, and now they choose to control the ball and stabilize the situation."

Duan Xuan said this, but he knew in his heart that there was no way for China to open up the situation.

After Maitijiang got the ball, he was a little flustered and quickly passed to Li Zhilang.

Speaking of which, Li Zhilang and Mai Tijiang's ability to hold the ball is still not as good as Lin Yi's, and the two of them still passed the ball to Lin Yi's feet after some hesitation.

This simple action has caused dissatisfaction among many fans.

"Silly! What are you giving him the ball for? Waiting to be cut off? ”

"It's better to give the ball to him than to kick it out of bounds, so that our captain doesn't have to swing."

The fans were disappointed with Lin Yi's previous performance, even if it was only once, it was enough for them to be unhappy.

You're the captain of the team, how can you make such a mistake in such a crucial game?

It's not that the fans are too demanding of Lin Yi, it's just that because of his performance in Dortmund, many people regard him as a high-level player, and some Chinese fans who are eager for quick success even directly regard him as a savior.

In fact, Lin Yi's level is certainly high, but this is also directly related to his teammates.

Not to mention the exquisite combination that Reuss and Aubameyang and Lewandowski can play with him, it is not easy to complete in the national team, and the defensive pressure that those three people help him attract is also something that no one in the national team can give him.

However, Lin Yi couldn't say anything to the outside world, he could only bear all this silently, and then play at a super level.

The ball was passed to his feet again, and he was a little nervous at the moment.

What should you do if your opponent defends against you like that again?

It was now clear that none of his teammates on the pitch could help him with the task of organising the attack and connecting the whole team.

But...... Goals, it seems like there's someone who can do it for me.

"Lin Yi took the ball, probably to guard against the opponent's movements, he chose to play the ball very quickly, Liu Binbin received the ball, two over one!"

Lin grabbed the ball before everyone turned their attention to him again, and decisively wanted to pass the ball.

But before the ball could leave his feet, the captain of Iraq shoveled it.

Lin Yi gritted his teeth, damn it! Move......

Then his legs were very face-saving and finally moved.

He tried to stuff the ball out, but of course it was impossible, and the ball just rolled less than two metres before stopping.

"! What is this? My son did a better job of passing than he did! ”

"This kid is really angry!"

In China's squares, Internet cafes, and bars, all kinds of scolding resounded again.

"How did he get mixed up in Dortmund at his level?"

"Why did he do so well in Dortmund?"

"Is he not working hard?"

Some malicious rhythmic people suddenly shouted like this.

Although most people are wise, there are people who don't have long brains.

"Seriously, is he still thinking about the club games, so he wants to conserve his energy."

"Yes! Otherwise, why did he perform so poorly in the national team? ”

The reason why public opinion is terrible is because this kind of nihilistic thing can always set off some strange trends.

And in the word of mouth, some groundless rumors will also be spread as if they were true.

This is probably the perfect interpretation of the old Chinese saying, three people become tigers.

Lin Yi didn't know what everyone thought of him, his biggest wish now was to be able to run well.

Do a good job of completing an attack.

It doesn't matter if Zhang Wei can't kick in, as long as I make an attack, I still have a breakthrough and a long shot.

But it didn't work, all these ideas could not be realized.

The moment he gets the ball, someone in Iraq will fall decisively and slide towards him.

Then it's conceding the ball, counter-attacking, and so on.

Until the end of the first half.

The attacking direction that was feared before the game, as well as the fitness problems of the players, did not appear.

However, Lin Yi, who was regarded by everyone as a key point, had a big problem.

At halftime, Fu Bo came to Lin Yi's side with some concern.

"Are you okay?"

Lin Yi looked at the head coach, "I have a solution...... In the case of Zhang Xizhe, I will be restrained, and he will be in charge of the organization. ”

"And who will go down?"

Fu Bo then asked Lin Yi such a question, and Lin Yi replied without thinking about it.

"Change Zhang Wei. Then Wu Lei went to the middle, and I went to the right side and let Zhang Xizhe organize in the midfield. ”

Most players with dreams don't want to be rotated in the middle of the game.

Zhang Wei is no exception, as an excellent shooter, he has always had a high opinion of himself, and his previous respect for Lin Yi was because he had seen Lin Yi's strength in the Bundesliga.

But now it seems that that's what it feels like.

You're playing like that yourself, and you still let the coach replace me? How did you open this mouth?

Thinking that Zhang Wei was quite dissatisfied with this, he wanted to open his mouth to refute.

Unexpectedly, Fu Bo turned around directly and called Zhang Xizhe, and then turned to himself.

"Zhang Wei, Lin Yi has a point, you take a break in the second half and let Zhang Xizhe go up."

Zhang Wei, who was already unhappy, was even more unhappy with the coach's acceptance of Lin Yi's opinion, and he directly asked: "Coach Fu, did I have a problem playing in the first half?" ”

"Nope."

"Then why did you change me? Just because of Lin Yi's words? ”

"No, replacing you is the best option."

This was originally just a normal exposition by Fu Bo, but when he heard Zhang Wei, who was a little emotional at the moment, it became a criticism in his ears.

"Why is it the best choice for me? If you look at the performance in the first half, changing Lin Yi is the best choice! Isn't it? ”

Fu Bo is usually relatively gentle, but when he heard Zhang Wei's words, he suddenly became angry.

"Are you questioning me as a coach? Now is the critical moment, how can I have time to explain so much to you! Let you come down and rest, and you come down, and say what are those doings? ”

The coach's reaction made Zhang Wei and the other players a little unexpected.

However, his words still had an effect, Zhang Wei stopped speaking sullenly, and looked at Lin Yi with unkind eyes while putting on his coat.

In fact, Lin Yi didn't have any selfish intentions this time, just like when Deschamps replaced Gignac, he considered it from the perspective of the whole team.

However, Zhang Wei's reaction was very consistent with Gignac, and they were all obviously dissatisfied.

But as Fu Bo said, there is no time to explain so much at such a critical time.

After a small episode, Fu Bo turned around and set up the tactics for the second half of the game.

"In the second half, Lin Yi is responsible for a containment, and you try to attract the opponent's defense."

Speaking of this, he drew a large circle with a red pen on the magnet representing Zhang Xizhe, "You, responsible for organizing in the second half." ”

Lin Yi hadn't thought yet, or hadn't had time to think that the situation he faced in Marseille was about to happen again. (To be continued.) )
