Chapter 172: Loopholes!

Although Chen Song thought so, if Lin Qi really wanted to bring Lu Fei and Zhao Lin with him, Chen Song probably wouldn't sit idly by. After all, before the game started, he couldn't be sure whether Lin Qi's early morning training was good or bad for the players.

The Springs returned to their locker room, and Lin Qi seemed to have seen in Chen Song's face the determination to keep Luo Ming from playing for the time being, so he sat there, quietly thinking about how to penetrate the Etihad goal in the second half of the game.

Although the two Etihad central defenders caused Lin Qi a lot of trouble in the first half of the game, Lin Qi didn't take them to heart, after all, in the previous Asian Youth Championships, Lin Qi had experience in dealing with them. For Lin Qi, what really made it difficult for him was that there was too little support from his teammates......

The Etihad team was very calm in defending against Lin Qi, and they could completely ignore the other attacking players of the Spring City team, and then focus all their attention on Lin Qi.

Under this kind of strict defense, it is very difficult for Lin Qi to play a role. In the final stage of the first half of the game, Lin Qi couldn't even hold the ball, not because he couldn't handle the ball, but because the Etihad team defended him too tightly.

The Etihad team's defense against Lin Qi is simply 360 degrees without dead ends, and they don't give Lin Qi any chance!

During the entire fifteen-minute break, Lin Qi sat in his seat and did not speak, he did not stand up when the Quancheng team was in trouble as before.

Because Lin Qi knows. This time, even if he stepped up, it was useless, and the lack of fighting spirit of the Spring City team in this game was not because of the strength of the opponent at all, but because they could not adapt to the hot weather in Saudi Arabia.

Unless Lin Qi can change this weather, otherwise, the players of the Spring City team will definitely not regain their fighting spirit because of his few words.

Lin Qi could see the hardship and exhaustion on the faces of his teammates, and this feeling of discomfort also deeply tormented their hearts, no matter how hard they tried, it seemed that they could not overcome the difficulty of the hot weather.

It's not the players' fault, the main thing is that there is a problem with the preparation of the Spring City team, and they should have come to Saudi Arabia earlier. It should also be at least a week in the morning. Only then will the players have more time to adapt.

However, it is too late to say anything, as Springs have suffered greatly from their lack of tournament experience, although they should not make the same mistake again in future matches. But this one. For them. But it is difficult to recover the decline.

His teammates are not in shape, and Lin Qi still has to rely on himself, regardless of whether his teammates have given up on the game or not. Lin Qi absolutely did not have the slightest idea of giving up, he was still trying to find a way to break the opponent's goal.

Before you know it, the fifteen-minute break has passed in a hurry, and it's time for the players to get back on the pitch!

In the second half, the two teams changed sides and fought again, and the Etihad team still maintained their strategy of defending to the end, and in the second half they still shrank into their own half.

In the face of this situation, Lin Qi did not actively use his running to find opportunities, and the first half of the game has proved that Lin Qi's positive running has no effect in this game.

He changed the way he raced, no longer running with his body, but with his brain.

Lin Qi slowed down his running speed and focused more on finding the other party's loopholes. He believes that no matter what kind of bucket formation the opponent puts on, their defense will not be invulnerable, and he will definitely be able to find the opponent's defensive holes.

Lin Qi carefully observed every defender of the Etihad team, including their goalkeeper. When observing the opposing goalkeeper, Lin Qi found a very interesting point, that is, the goalkeeper of the Etihad team seems to be very unwilling to be lonely!

The Etihad team's defensive solidity kept their goalkeeper with nothing to do most of the time, but the goalkeeper was not content to stay in front of the Etihad goal. When he gets the ball away from goal, he always puts himself in a higher position, as if by doing so, he can get closer to the ball and have more touches.

In this game, the Etihad goalkeeper had too few opportunities to play, and it was clear that he was very eager to have the opportunity to touch the ball, so he made his position appear a little forward.

Lin Qi looked at the position of the Etihad goalkeeper, his eyes narrowed slightly, he saw an opportunity, and he saw an opportunity to potentially break the opponent's goal!

The two Etihad centre-backs are very strong, but the strength of the centre-backs also poses a serious problem, which is that their goalkeepers have a lot of slackness on the pitch.

Because many times, when he is ready, he finds that the two centre-backs in front of him have solved the problem. This made him do a lot of useless work.

In the long run, he was completely at ease with the two centre-backs standing in front of him, and unless something particularly dangerous happened, he wouldn't keep his spirits on the line.

This sense of trust, this sense of security, made him feel lax on the field. Such sentiment is not obvious in normal times, as there are very few people who can threaten his goal in front of their team's all-out defence, in front of their two centre-backs.

Therefore, the goal behind him has not been missed because of his laxity.

It's a pity that he met Lin Qi in this game, and with a player like Lin Qi, the goalkeeper of the Etihad team is destined to pay the price for his laxity!

In the seventeenth minute of the second half of the game, the Quancheng team took the ball in the backfield, and the football passed to Chen Biao's feet.

Chen Biao was about to pass the ball to Lu Fei and Zhao Lin in front, but suddenly found that there was a player of the Quancheng team in the front court who was unmarked. Chen Biao didn't even see who he was, so he instinctively passed the ball to his feet.

It wasn't until the player received his pass that Chen Biao saw the number behind him - No. 9!

Lin Qi, the No. 9 of the Quancheng team!

"Why did Lin Qi appear in such a backward position?" After Chen Biao saw it clearly, his expression looked a little puzzled. Lin Qi's position to receive the ball should be at least more than 40 meters away from the opponent's goal, and at this distance, it is no wonder that there will be no Etihad players to mark him, because in the eyes of the two Etihad central defenders, this distance is beyond the range of Lin Qi can threaten their goal.

Even Chen Biao actually thought so, so he was a little puzzled, he didn't know why Lin Qi suddenly retreated his position so deeply. In his opinion, the Quancheng team is not defending now, and it is simply unreasonable for Lin Qi to retreat to this position.

However, soon, Chen Biao no longer had such doubts, because he saw Lin Qi's actions after receiving the ball!

After Lin Qi received Chen Biao's pass, he adjusted it slightly, and then he suddenly got up before the opposing defenders came up to defend him!

The soccer ball flew straight into the sky.

"Is this a pass? To whom? Just when the fans and the players of the two teams on the field were thinking about who Lin Qi was going to pass the ball to, they suddenly found that Lin Qi's "pass" actually flew towards the goal of the Etihad team!

Afterward, the crowd's eyes widened as they saw the ball slide out of the air in a very noticeable parabola and then fall directly into the back of the Etihad goalkeeper......

The Etihad goalkeeper reacted when he saw the ball flying towards the goal behind him, and he quickly chased back to keep the ball out before it landed.

It's a pity that after all, it's still a step too late. The ball flew over his head, over his hard-stretched arm, and straight into the goal behind him!! (To be continued......)
