Chapter 22: Provocation and Retaliation
Lin Qi's "provocation" to Henry did not hinder the progress of the game, and after all three substitutes of the Chinese national team appeared, the game continued, and the football fell at the feet of the Chinese national team.
Although they fell behind 1:3 in the score, the Chinese national team did not have any intention of being conservative, and they took the initiative to put pressure on the French team's goal.
Anyway, this is just a warm-up game, the final score is not important at all, the most important thing is that in the process of the warm-up game, whether the Chinese national team can give full play to their strength, and at the same time fully expose their shortcomings.
And the players of the French team are also playing very seriously, they do not underestimate their opponents because the Chinese national team is an Asian team, in their opinion, the Chinese national team is definitely a respectable opponent, they are constantly getting stronger, in a form that anyone can see.
The goal in the second half of the game is the most powerful proof that the Chinese national team has become stronger! The French team has played against the Chinese national team in several warm-up matches, and in those games, the Chinese national team has not once passed their goal, but this time, the Chinese national team has completed the goal.
This is a big step forward in the history of Chinese football, and now they have the strength to break the goal of the world's top team!
In the face of such a Chinese national team, it is impossible for the French team not to be serious, they don't want to lose to the Chinese youth team in a warm-up match.
Not to mention that it is impossible, before the game, who would have thought that the Chinese national team would be able to break the goal of the French team? Now that they can score, it is not impossible to win against France.
"Now it was the turn of the Chinese national team to attack, and the players of the French team shrank back to their own half, and they put on a very serious defensive posture. It seems that the attack of the Chinese national team has also made the French team feel some threat. The narrator's tone was full of pride.
The French team is the world champion, as the world champion, they must be extremely strong in both attack and defense, and it is this extremely strong defense that is still found by the Chinese national team to break the goal.
The goal of the world champion is not something that any team can break, and Chinese fans should indeed feel proud of the strong attack of the Chinese youth team.
In the commentator's proud commentary, the Chinese national team continued to move forward with football. They were still playing solidly, keeping the ball firmly at their feet and then looking for an opportunity to shoot.
I have to say that the performance of the Chinese national team in this warm-up game is really good, the players are not frightened by the name of the French team as the world champion, when it is time to attack, it will definitely not be weak, of course, there is no hurry. It's a slow picture.
Through continuous mutual passing, the Chinese national team finally hit the ball to the front of the French team's penalty area, and the football was passed to An Run's feet.
Then An Run took the high ball and passed the ball into the French team's penalty area!
The tactics of the Chinese national team and the Quancheng team are absolutely different, if this is the Quancheng team. It is estimated that Lin Qi is the only one who competes for the header in the penalty area, and the Chinese national team has three players outflanking in the opponent's penalty area.
Among them, Lin Qi rushed to the front point. Under the involvement of two other teammates, Lin Qi has only one defender of the French team by his side.
The two of them jumped high at the same time, and in comparison with each other, Lin Qi's explosiveness and bounce power were more obvious, he overwhelmed the central defenders of the French team and grabbed the first landing point of football!
Subsequently. Lin Qi exerted force at the waist and violently pushed the falling football towards the goal of the French team.
The goalkeeper of the French team stood on the goal line and did not react, but unfortunately the football still failed to get into the French team's goal, but flew out of the bottom line by grazing the crossbar......
"Shake your head and attack the goal!! Lin Qi completed a header in less than a minute after his debut, but unfortunately the football was slightly higher. Otherwise, the score will become 2:3......," the commentator said regretfully.
"The goalkeeper of the French team must have been scared into a cold sweat, and the position of Lin Qi's header was very close to the goal, and it was difficult for the goalkeeper of the French team to react in time." Although the ball did not score, the pressure on the French team's goal caused by Lin Qi's header this time made the commentators on the scene feel very satisfied.
Of course, what satisfied him even more was the expression of Henry, the No. 9 player of the French team on the field today.
Like Henry's number in the French team, Lin Qi's number in the Chinese national team is also No. 9, which was originally An Run's jersey, but after An Run completed the transformation, he fell in love with the No. 7 jersey, which made the No. 9 jersey empty, and in Huaxia, the only one who is still qualified to have this No. 9 jersey is probably Lin Qi.
Henry watched as the No. 9 player of the Chinese national team threatened the French team's goal less than a minute after he appeared on the field, and Lin Qi's shot this time made the French team's goal very dangerous, if the football was a little lower than ten centimeters, it might form a goal.
Henry's expression became a little more serious, just based on Lin Qi's performance of heading the goal this time, Henry felt that Lin Qi already had the qualifications to provoke himself.
It's no secret that Thierry Henry is not very good at heading goals, and although he is not short at all, he prefers to break down opponents with his own feet.
Although he is not good at it, Henry does not discriminate against headers.
Thierry Henry is the kind of player who thinks it's a great goal, whether it's a header or a shot from his feet, it's all about scoring goals, and if you can break down the opponent's goal, it's a great shot!
Although Lin Qi's header failed to form a goal, it was also a more exciting goal, because he really threatened the goal of the French team.
"Launching your own offensive so soon, it looks like you're really provoking me." Lin Qi's header made Henry more convinced that the opponent was provoking his own idea, of course he would not be willing to fall behind, in the next French team's attack, Henry gave Lin Qi a long shot on the penalty line.
Henry's shot also left the goalkeeper of the Chinese national team helpless, but his luck did not seem to be good, and the ball went slightly off the post and almost formed a goal.
Henry immediately responded to Lin Qi's provocation, and his shot was closer to the goal, but unfortunately, the ball did not hit the frame of the goal! The mood of the on-site commentator became even more excited, he did not feel any worries for the Chinese national team, but was enthusiastic because of the competition between Lin Qi and Henry.
The contest between Lin Qi and Thierry Henry will make the game even more enjoyable, both for the two teams on the pitch and for the fans in the stands.
The enthusiasm of the fans was also completely ignited by a shot by Lin Qi and Henry, and their shouts and cheers almost made people forget that this was just a warm-up game that had nothing to do with winning or losing, and it didn't matter how painful it was.
After Henry finished shooting, he looked back at Lin Qi, his eyes were full of fighting spirit, although he knew very well that Lin Qi was not his opponent at all, but in the face of any opponent, Henry would be full of fighting spirit, he liked to challenge, whether it was to challenge others, or others to challenge themselves, it would make Henry extremely excited.
Henry's sharp eyes finally made Lin Qi realize something, he found that the French superstar didn't seem to have a good impression of him, but why is that? At the World Youth Championships, our Chinese youth team has never met the French youth team?
Henry's hostility seemed to Lin Qi to have no reason.
He would never have imagined that this was actually a challenge caused by his kind and kind smile.
His smile on his opponent was regarded as a provocation by everyone, whether it was Henry as the party concerned, the commentator on the scene, or the fans in the stands, everyone who saw Lin Qi's smile took it for granted as a provocation to the King of Highbury!
Because this is more in line with Lin Qi's character, is Lin Qi the kind of person who will show kindness to his opponent?
No, never! Even when facing the Brazilian Ronaldinho, Lin Qi did not express any kindness, and of course he could not show kindness to Henry for no reason.
Since it is not good intentions, it can only be a provocation, an arrogant provocation.
Fans have even analyzed Lin Qi's mood at that moment through imagination, he must have felt extremely excited to see an international star like Henry, and then he secretly made a decision in his heart, a decision to surpass Henry!
Thinking like this, it is simply too consistent with Lin Qi's character, he likes to challenge the strong, when he only heard An Run's name and had not seen An Run's strength, Lin Qi dared to challenge An Run, not to mention that he had already seen Henry's strength in this game.
Such a powerful opponent must be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Lin Qi, so he is unwilling to miss this opportunity, and he is not willing to miss this opportunity to provoke Henry...... (To be continued......)
