Chapter 837: Breaking the Dense Defense
"Don't give up!"
Ailuo turned his head to look, he really didn't expect that the first person to respond was the nineteen-year-old Wu Lei, who had just replaced Yu Han Dynasty.
The Chinese players on the pitch are all men of steel, bleeding without tears, but after listening to the Chinese fans in the stands singing "Singing the Motherland" in unison, there is always a feeling of wanting to cry.
Men don't flick when they have tears, but they haven't reached the sad place!
With Wu Lei's first statement, the rest of the players also shouted.
With a satisfied smile, Iroh placed the ball in the center circle, then gathered the players together and put their shoulders in a circle again.
At this time, as the captain of the team, Ailo naturally wanted to say a few words, he glanced at the other ten teammates sternly, and said firmly: "Now there are seventeen minutes left in the regular time of the game, and there should be twenty minutes left after counting injury time, and we are two goals behind, it is very simple to equalize, the difficult thing is the whole process before the goal, so we have to be patient, think about the tens of thousands of fans who followed us from China to South Africa, we have to score not many goals, two goals, enough to ensure that we advance to the round of 16!" β
"It's only two balls, it's an egg,!!"
The deputy team Feng Xiaoting is a native of the Northeast, and he is particularly bold, and he blurted out subconsciously.
Immediately, everyone followed Feng Xiaoting's words and roared loudly: "Two balls, count as an egg?" this group of Serbs!! β
The Chinese players who were in a circle suddenly erupted so strongly that they frightened many Serbian players.
One of them was Ε½ikic, who joined Valencia after Arlo's move to Chelsea, and he had just joined Valencia and was under intense pressure to opt for the number nine shirt, which turned out to be ...... He was sprayed by the local Valencia fans every day, and in the end he couldn't withstand the pressure, scoring only one goal in 15 games in half a season, which made him a 'parallel import'.
This time, he was feeling a lot of pressure again.
The same feeling is also Stankovic, who seems to see Ailo at his peak at this moment, and the big Arabic numeral 'nine' behind him looks particularly dazzling under the illumination of the light!
He knows that this is not an illusion, but an innate sense of crisis that can only be found on the football field.
Gao Hongbo, who was standing on the field, had already been brought back to life by the singing of the Chinese fans in the stands, he was having an emergency exchange with his assistant Fu Bo, and the score was expanded when the team just replaced the offensive players, which is not a good phenomenon, and the fullback Sun Xiang's physical fitness has declined significantly, and there is no problem with defending in the back, but the problem is that the Chinese team must increase the investment in attacking forces when they are two goals behind, and fullback assists have always been the most commonly used tactics in football games, which must be adjusted.
As for other aspects that need to be adjusted, the combination of Zheng Zhi, Wu Xi and Zhao Xuri is still good, and the frontcourt Ailuo, Gao Lin and the teenager Wu Lei are also okay.
So after the discussion, assistant coach Fu Bo turned around and told Rong Hao to go to the warm-up area and come back three minutes later.
Zhan Jun in the on-site commentary seat felt the singing from the stands, like a spring breeze, extremely comfortable, in the days when he commented on the Premier League game, the team lagged behind the fans singing, and then the team returned, these examples are really too much, he said excitedly: "Let's listen to the neat singing of the fans in the stands!" These fans who have traveled all the way to South Africa to cheer for the national team are really cute, and the neat and imposing singing voice even gives me the illusion ......"
β»β»β»
The game restarted, and the Chinese fans sitting in front of the TV clearly felt that the Chinese team's table was significantly stronger than before, the offense was cautious, the defense was leaky, and even Sun Xiang, who had previously faced Krasic's successive breakthroughs, was able to keenly perceive the opponent's breakthrough intentions and give a fatal blow.
The Chinese team's table is getting better and better, and the cheers of the Chinese fans in the stands are naturally getting louder and louder.
The two complement each other.
The Chinese team's offensive gradually threatened the Serbian goal, and head coach Antic frowned and pondered how to make personnel adjustments on the field.
Now that the score is 3:1 and there are about fifteen minutes left in the game, there is no need to continue with two strikers, and it is time to switch to defensive players to stabilize the defense......
Two minutes later, China and Serbia made substitutions at the same time, Rong Hao replaced Sun Xiang, who had dropped significantly, while Lukovic replaced Jovanovic in the forward line.
Serbia's substitution also means that they gradually retreated to the half, putting the initiative at the feet of the Chinese team, leaving only one person in front of them, Zhikic, who can control the ball at his feet.
Stankovic's position also returned from the No. 10 position to the No. 4 position, forming a back three with Kuzmanovic and Petrovic.
This substitution really didn't know it, and was shocked when it saw it, Zhan Jun exclaimed according to Serbia's substitution adjustment: "Antic's substitution is really amazing...... Replacing striker Jovanovic with centre-back Lukovic in the current position of the player...... Serbia is in a 541 position, with three central defenders, Lukovic, Subotic and Vidic, plus Stankovic, Petrovic and Kuzmanovic in front, and there are people inside and outside the penalty area......"
Shen Fangjian added: "Serbia's substitution adjustment is all about defending the two-goal advantage! β
Indeed, Antich thinks so, this Serbian team has a very strong defensive ability, the goal conceded in the first round against Ghana is a penalty, there is no way, there is no way to face Ailo's long-range shot in this game, the goalkeeper has always been difficult to judge the ball, and Ailo's shooting angle is quite tricky.
In other words, it is watertight to deal with normal attacks!
Many Chinese fans sitting in front of the TV heard Zhan Jun and Shen Fangjian's analysis, and their hearts 'chuckled' and began to feel uneasy......
The next on-court process was not much different from Zhan Jun and Shen Fangjian's analysis, and when the game entered the 80th minute and only a few minutes were left, the formation was closed, and the half court retreated, completely ceding the initiative to the Chinese team.
As the offensive core of the Chinese team, Ailo will attract at least four defenders when he gets the ball, and the position of the Serbian players is maintained very well, and there is no space for Ailo to pass the ball behind him.
It can be said that Serbia except for Zhikic at the front, the other nine players returned to their own 30-meter defensive area to defend.
At the edge of the forbidden area, this sensitive-sensitive area has reached the level of impermeability......
Lineker sighed and said: "Serbia's choice is not to be criticized, defending with a two-goal lead of ten minutes left is the right choice, after all, they only need a win to qualify for the round of 16, ......"
At the beginning, he just hoped that China would draw with Serbia and avoid his homeland England as the second in the group, but he didn't think about letting the Chinese team be eliminated......
β»β»β»
In the blink of an eye, the game time was the 80th minute of the game, which was a very sensitive time period, and the players fought for 80 minutes, both physically and mentally, in a low period.
Of course, this is mutual.
That is to say, at this point in the game, you can only rely on willpower to continue the battle, and willpower ...... It has always been the weakest link for Chinese players.
Therefore, the commentators in China have always felt that an equalizer is impossible to happen as the game quietly passes, because there is still a gap of two goals, should the equalizer be scored first?
Ero will always be defended by at least four Serbian men when he gets the ball in the sensitive area, which makes him discourage himself from breaking through with the ball, focusing on passing and coordinating, unless facing two or so Serbian defenders close to the touchline.
As the minutes ticked by, Iroh felt more and more that he should step up at this time, and if he didn't score a goal, then the equalizer would be a dream!
The ball was soon passed to Ailo again, but the Lvia defender was so fast that he had to pass the ball back again to continue to move the Serbian defenders into position.
As he moved towards the middle with the team's formation, Ailo kept thinking that he had to have a novel way of attacking against Serbia's stubborn defense, otherwise once the game entered the 85th minute, the fighting spirit of his teammates would gradually be exhausted, and it would be even more difficult to score again......
Breaking through dense defenses is a global problem, what should we do?
Long shot?
There are players on and off the big penalty line, and unless it's a high-quality world wave, there's no way to score at all.
A set-piece?
It's a good idea.
Thinking of this, Iroh had no choice but to return his attention to the competition venue, anyway, there was not much time left in the game, and a dead horse would be a live horse doctor.
The football passed to the feet of Wu Lei on the right side, and his experience was the same as that of Ailo before, but the defensive position he faced was much smaller, but he also did not dare to force a breakthrough, so he had to pass the ball to the feet of Wu Xi, and he controlled the team's offensive direction in the middle.
Wu Xi received the football about forty-five meters away from the Serbian goal in the middle and didn't take two steps when he saw Ailo coming over and waving for the ball, and he passed the ball directly without the slightest hesitation.
"Oh? Mugwort...... Take the initiative to ask for the ball! β
Seeing that Iroh took the initiative to ask for the ball, Lineker felt inexplicably excited!
Ailo picked up the ball about 35 yards from the Serbian goal, and Stankovic and Petrovic took the initiative on the right side of the defence.
This time, Iroh did not pass the ball out, but gently moved the ball forward, and the center of gravity of the upper body shook quickly + stepped on the bicycle under his feet!
Stankovic and Petrovich did not know Aillo's intentions, so they had to choose left and right.
At the moment when they retreated, the outside of Eloh's right foot suddenly flicked the ball to the right and accelerated horizontally!
At this point in the game, there was a noticeable drop in fitness for anyone, and Petrovic, who was close to the middle, stretched his leg half a beat slower and kicked it firmly into Iro's supporting foot......
"Beep~!"
