Chapter 600: Battle of Nigeria (1)
"It's different, it's different," Liu Jianhong said, "The Nigerian players in this game have a new look, I remember the last game when the Nigerian players ran like they hadn't eaten, and in this game, they were like chicken blood." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Li Zibing was also a little surprised, thinking: "Why is there such a big difference between the same team in a few days?" ”
The Nigerian coach smiled at the corners of his mouth and stuck out two fingers, and in his tactics, Iheanacho and Moses were the two fulcrums in the attack.
Moses was extremely fast, while Iheanacho was physically stronger, and the two of them worked together just right.
Li Guo also saw that Nigeria's 433 was actually 442, but in the short term, Li Guo didn't see any threat.
"Chen An, can you see the intentions of the French?"
Chen An shook his head, "Let's take a look." ”
After the opening, Nigeria's midfielder Mikel controlled the ball well, and when the midfield was controlled, Nigeria could attack better.
Zhou Dun found that Mikel was still a little difficult, and in several confrontations, Zhou Dun stretched his feet, but Mikel could protect the ball well.
Zhou Dun turned to limit Mikel instead of stealing the ball at the opponent's feet, and after a few quick passes in the Nigerian midfielder, the ball reached the feet of Moses.
Moses glanced at Iheanacho, who was facing himself with his back to the Chinese goal, a typical centre-forward stance with the ball.
Moses pushed the ball to Iheanacho with a push with his left foot, and then rushed forward quickly, his intention to rush between Mu Fei and Li Heng's defense.
Iheanacho took the ball, and Lee Hyung immediately stuck to it, but he couldn't squeeze it at all, and Lee Hyung didn't want to foul the opponent in front of the penalty area to give the opponent a free kick.
But Iheanacho didn't mean to turn around, at this moment, Mu Fei saw Moses plugged in at high speed, judging from experience, Mu Fei roughly guessed what Moses wanted to do.
Mu flew in the direction of Li Heng to narrow the defensive gap between the two people, and at this moment, Iheanacho flicked the instep of his foot, and the ball passed to Moses, who continued to accelerate the ball, and unexpectedly, Moses and Mu Fei, who was in the position, collided solidly.
"Penalty, this is definitely a penalty," Mikel surrounded the referee to take the penalty, but the referee ran to Mu Fei and Moses first, and both of them hit it lightly, especially Mu Fei, who was almost knocked apart for this defense.
Li Guo also saw it on the sidelines, pinched a sweat for Mu Fei, and he quickly asked Gao Zhunyi to warm up, and it was estimated that he was going to be replaced.
The team doctors of both sides checked the players after coming on the field, the game was delayed for several minutes, the referee had already suspended the timer, Mikel and Moussa were nagging next to the referee, they were afraid that the referee would forget the Nigerian penalty.
"The opponent is charging from the side, it must be a penalty, otherwise Moses would have shot in and scored."
Even afraid that the referee didn't see it clearly, Moussa and Mikel also demonstrated it on the spot, and the referee shook his head happily.
A few minutes later, Mu Fei and Moses both stood up, and the Chinese fans breathed a sigh of relief that Mu Fei was fine.
Mu Fei stretched and muttered to himself, "This sunspot almost knocked me apart." ”
The most critical time has come, how to judge?
In fact, the referee already had the answer in his heart, and he saw it very clearly, it was a five-five collision, and there were no fouls on either side.
The whole Nigerian team, including the bench, expressed their incredibleness, and Moses was even more angry, "It was he who hit me, what a clear thing!" ”
'Penalty, it's a penalty.'
The referee gave the emotional Moses a yellow card, his teammates dragged him away, and Mu Fei's heart on the other side was also tight, whether this ball was a penalty or not depends entirely on the referee's interpretation of the rules.
Even if the referee decided, the Chinese team had nothing to say, fortunately the referee felt that the Chinese team did not foul.
Nigeria quickly calmed down their mentality, and several midfielders of the Chinese team also communicated with each other, Zhou Dun is a big man, he made the fullbacks and central defenders defend a little faster, and everyone nodded.
*****
"The Chinese team lost a little bit of possession," Mr. Li said.
"Yes, but it's less than 5 percentage points, the Chinese team has always liked to play counterattacks, in fact, Nigeria is also a good thing to press out and control the ball."
Zhou Dun also thought so, he dribbled the ball in the midfield, and found that the opponent's pressing was not tight, so he kept moving forward.
By the time Nigeria paid attention, Zhou Dun had already dribbled the ball across the middle line, and the Nigerian head coach on the sidelines had already scolded the French country, how could the core of the Chinese team pass the middle line so easily! Idiot.
Onazi stepped forward, Zhou Dun used his physical advantage to squeeze Onazi away and continue to move forward, but the pressure in front was already very great, Zhou Dun definitely couldn't rush through, Zhou Dun passed the ball to Liao Lisheng, and the opportunity for the Chinese team came.
Liao Lisheng took the ball in front of the penalty area, Lin Zhijian immediately started, as long as it was plugged through, Lin Zhijian could bypass the opponent's left fullback and cut in.
Nigeria is showing such a big defensive void, which is a godsend for the Chinese team, Liao Lisheng has been watching, he is waiting for the best time to pass.
"Oh no," Li Guo thought to himself.
In fact, Liao Lisheng should have plugged straight after getting the ball, but maybe the opportunity was too good, Liao Lisheng waited for a while, ready to pass the ball after Lin Zhijian accelerated, that's it, when Liao Lisheng passed the ball again, the linesman raised the flag, Lin Zhijian was offside!
Liao Lisheng and Lin Zhijian were very annoyed, and just as they were holding their heads in regret, the Nigerian player quickly took a free kick at the back, a big kick, and the ball was passed to the front to find Iheanacho.
"Oh no, the Chinese team was beaten back," Liu Jianhong shouted.
Zhou Dun pressed it, Fang Suo pressed it, Lin Zhijian pressed it, the Chinese team's defense was half empty, and Nigeria's long pass was very accurate.
"Li Heng!" Li Guo silently recited Li Heng's name in his heart, and now it depends on whether Li Heng can push the ball out.
Iheanacho pressed Lee Hyung and pushed the ball out, and the ball landed right on the feet of Moses, who was unguarded.
At this meeting, Moses was really unstoppable, except for Wang Dalei.
Wang Dalei attacked, Moses turned the ball with his left foot to change the line, Wang Dalei followed the line, but the goalkeeper was obviously not as fast as the striker, Moses walked past the goalkeeper and faced a big empty goal, pushed with his left foot, and the ball slowly rolled into the goal.
What no one expected was that Nigeria, who were beaten into a sieve by Croatia in the first game, scored first.
After the goal, the Nigerian team rushed to the bench, Moses and the coach embraced, and at this moment, the two finally reconciled.
"Great, I knew you could do it, our World Cup is far from over."
