Chapter 5: The One-Man Show
Bang, bang, bang......
After the whistle sounded, the ball came to Yu Liang's feet after several passes at the feet of the players.
When it comes to defense, Yu Liang can also provide some effective help, but when it comes to organizing the offense, Yu Liang is really powerless. However, Yu Liang's reaction was still good, and without waiting for the German player to step forward to press, he directly pushed with the arch of his foot and handed the ball to Chen Tao, who was responding in front of him. There is no doubt that in the current national youth team, Chen Tao's foot skills and personal ability are the best, and there is no one.
Handed over to Chen Tao may be Yu Liang's best choice at present!
After receiving the ball, Chen Tao changed direction to get rid of the German national youth team players, and directly dribbled forward with the ball on the left side, and his excellent foot skills and personal ability made him easy to break through on the left side.
However, when approaching the opponent's 30-meter area, Chen Tao still slowed down and knocked the ball directly to the middle.
After Zhao Xuri, who followed up, received the ball, he knocked the ball with his right foot and directly picked up his right leg.
Scoring the world wave in the group stage of the World Youth Championships made Zhao Xuri gradually find his self-confidence. There were a number of long-range shots in the game, which also caused problems for the Germans. Therefore, at the moment when Zhao Xuri slammed his foot, three German defenders immediately approached Zhao Xuri to interfere with Zhao Xuri's shot.
In fact, there is no need for the Germans to be so nervous, after all, it is about 30 meters away from the goal, and Zhao Xuri's long-range shot is far from being as threatening as people think. Perhaps it was the fierce competition that made them tense their nerves.
Unexpectedly, this time Zhao Xuri chose to pass the ball very calmly, rubbed the outside instep hard, and the ball drew an arc on the turf to bypass the opponent's defenders, and rolled to the front of the right side of the penalty area.
The sudden pass, the sudden shot, so that the goalkeeper of the German national youth team, Adler, was a little unable to react, and when the ball was about to pass by, it was too late to make a save, and he could only watch the ball swish towards the goal near his shoulder.
"God, why is that? Did Crouchen give those guys a magical blessing? ”
Looking at the ball flying towards the goal, Luke Bedder, felt his throat feel a little dry.
He didn't understand, he didn't understand why a country that they had always ridiculed as a football desert had such a group of talented young players. If he could, he would rather believe that it was a credit to Crawford rather than a reflection of the player's own strength.
Bang!
The ball smashed against the crossbar and bounced high.
The sound of tremors stirred the eardrums of the fans, and the stadium was filled with joy and sorrow.
"Oh, thank God for saving Germain! The German tank will continue to move forward! ”
Luke Bird looked at the ball that popped off the baseline with a relaxed look on his face.
……
"Ah, it's a pity that Lu Lin's shot was blocked by the crossbar, and the goal once again denied the goal of the Chinese national youth team. As soon as the extra time began, the Chinese national youth team threatened the door of the German national youth team with a wonderful shot, and it seems that the extra time may not be too dull. The game continued, and the German national team goalball ......"
After a crossbar horror, the German national team quickly launched a counterattack. At the same time, the Chinese national youth team, which could not score in the opening game, immediately contracted its formation and put on a stubborn posture.
The simple and rough style of play of the German national youth team quickly penetrated the midfield of the Chinese national youth team.
After Janssen crushed people on the left, he directly crossed the middle. The ball rolled quickly towards Delura in the middle of the road against the turf.
As the number one star of the German Under-20 this year, De Lula's ability is undoubted. With a height of 1.9 meters and a weight of more than 80 kilograms, he is not as clumsy as other tall players, on the contrary, he is very flexible with the ball on the court, excellent foot skills and physical fitness, as well as outstanding vision, which makes him easy to move in the front court. Whether it is organizational response or passing scheduling, it seems very calm.
Although the crossing ability was a little worse, before the end of the 90 minutes, it was Delula's cross that almost assisted Matip to break through the door of the Chinese national youth team.
So when Janssen passed the ball, Yu Liang noticed De Lula, and while observing the running position of the opposing player, he moved towards De Lula, ready to wait for the opportunity to break the ball.
At this time, De Lula was facing the bottom corner of the left side, moving towards the rolling ball, while observing the situation at the front of the national youth team's penalty area, and Yu Liang was in his blind spot at this time, so he didn't notice the "little man" not far away from him.
At this time, three players of the German national youth team rushed to the penalty area of the national youth team, Seneciye, Gentner, and Tomik, and the three were looking for positions in the penalty area, waiting for De Lula's pass, and then giving the national youth team a fatal blow.
Can Delula's passing be underestimated?
Of course not.
So after seeing this situation, Yu Liang took an arrow step and rushed towards Delula at an accelerated pace.
“Gef?hrlich!”
Stretching his feet, leading the ball and turning in one go, De Lula had just faced the national youth team goal head-on, he heard a shout of reminder from his teammates. Tilting his head slightly, he saw a small man rushing towards him.
He knew the guy, and if it weren't for the guy, they would already be celebrating the victory at this point.
Although before the game, De Lula complimented the national youth team, but in his heart, De Lula still has a certain psychological advantage over Chinese players.
Germany's future star, who has high hopes, cannot afford to lose to an unknown boy.
Looking at the little man who had rushed in front of him, Delura was expressionless, as if he was stupid by Yu Liang's menacing momentum. However, Delula's movements did not stop at all, and he was still so flexible.
The toe of his right foot gently moved the ball to the left, and with a pull of his left foot, he turned around one and a half times, and directly used his strong body to block Yu Liang behind him.
Dodging Yu Liang's steal, De Lula handled the ball more easily, and after accelerating with the ball sideways, he turned around and pulled the ball with his back, leaving Yu Liang directly behind.
"Beautiful, textbook getaway, no one can stand in the way of the German tank! No. 14, not No. 5! ”
Luke Bird shouted loudly before he was done, as if to remind De Lula on the field.
"Watch out, Fourteen back tackle!"
Yu Liang, who was thrown out of a position by Delula, did not choose to give up, but followed behind Delula unhurriedly, wanting to continue to put pressure on him behind Delula.
"Here's your chance!"
Watching Feng Xiaoting press forward, Yu Liang secretly screamed, put the shovel directly, and slid towards the ball at Delula's feet.
"It's done!"
Seeing that his toe poked the ball at Delula's right foot, Yu Liang showed a smile on his face.
But before he could get up and participate in the counterattack, he was once again overwhelmed by a pressure on the turf. By the time they got up again, the German national youth team's counterattack had swept in again.
"Damn!"
There was no time to adjust, Yu Liang scolded secretly and rushed towards the football again.
Pass, Run, Pass, Run!
Every time the German national youth team passes the ball, Yu Liang has to do a switchback run. Such behavior seems very stupid to anyone, especially on the football field. But Yu Liang didn't seem to care about this, and always remembered the coach's advice before the start of extra time in his mind.
"I'm the barrier, I'm the iron gate!"
While muttering about his firm beliefs, he was desperately chasing the football there.
Because the German national youth team was in full control of the situation, Yu Liang was like a monkey in a cage, where he was slipped by the German national youth players on both sides.
The neutral fans and German fans in the stands laughed when they saw Yu Liang's stupid scene.
The sound of laughter soon spread throughout the stadium, but Yu Liang was not moved, and was still there unhurried.
Although this kind of pressing looks silly and stupid, the effect is still very obvious. After three or four consecutive kicks out of the ball, the German national youth team made a mistake, after Tomic stopped the ball, he did not pass the ball out at the first time, and when he passed the ball again, he was caught by Yu Liang and directly formed a steal.
Unfortunately, the national youth team did not get a quick chance to counterattack, because Gentner fouled at the first time, giving the German national youth team time to return to defense.
The national youth team, which won the set-piece at the back, did not attack in a big way at this opportunity, and after the symbolic attack, the ball returned to the feet of the German national youth team.
Defend!
It has become the top priority of the national youth team.
In the front court, except for Chen Tao, Gao Lin and Lu Lin were all recovered within the 30-meter area, forming two lines of defense. The retracting defense of the national youth team gave the German national youth team a chance to besiege.
Although the defense of the national youth team in this tournament is not very good, in the face of dense defense, it seems that any team needs time to crack, and the German national youth team is no exception, so the two sides fell into a stalemate, and time was slowly lost in the stalemate!
Backbite!
At the end of the first half of fifteen-minute extra-time, the Chinese fans in the stands breathed a sigh of relief again, and it was clear that their best hope now was for the team to hear the penalty shoot-out and not be killed suddenly.
After a break of three or five minutes, the game restarted again.
The national youth team that fought again did not abandon their central idea - defense!
The German youth team, who had no better way to break down the dense defense, did not choose to attack wildly after the start of the second half of extra time, but began to fall in midfield in an orderly manner, maybe they needed to adjust, or they were luring the snake out of the hole.
In the 18th minute of extra time, German full-backs Reinhard and Janssen cooperated continuously on the flanks and successfully broke through the defense of the national youth team. After Janssen drew the ball to the defense, he made a direct diagonal pass, and Reinhard near the baseline crossed directly.
Delula, who is 1.9 meters tall, easily grabbed the front point, but under the interference of Feng Xiaoting, Delula did not have the angle of attack, and could only choose to head back.
"Delula's header goes back, there is some confusion in front of goal, Senecil shoots ......"
Seneciye's shot made the hearts of the Chinese fans feel cool and cool, even though it was the height of summer in the Netherlands at this time.
Boom!
The football had just flown out less than a meter away, and a figure directly blocked the way of the football, and the huge impact smashed on the back of the figure and made a loud noise.
"Yu Liang, Yu Liang used his body to block Seneciye's shot!"
Yu Liang's goalkeeper once again immersed all the Chinese fans in the stands, and the huge cheers immediately filled the entire stadium.
After entering overtime, although the national youth team has been in a passive position, Yu Liang's unremitting running and goal-front rescue have given the fans who are suffering in their hearts a little comfort.
At least so far, the national youth team has not given up on the game!
At least so far, the score is still 2:2!
At least so far, extra-time is not a one-man show for the Germans!
And judging from the trajectory of the football ejection, it seems that the result will be even better!
