Chapter 101: Falling Zero to Two

The Chinese youth team took advantage of the opportunity of defensive counterattack and finally completed the first shot of the game. Luo Ming's shot flew straight off the bottom line and did not pose any threat to the Japanese youth team's goal.

However, it was an improvement, at least they finally had a shot on goal and finally had a decent counter-attack.

The goal kick of the Japanese youth team, the goalkeeper kicked it out directly.

Lin Qi continued to scramble forward, and headers were also Lin Qi's forte, as he leaped high to crush the Japanese youth team players under him.

Bang!

Lin Qi grabbed the first point, but so what, most of the players of the Huaxia Youth Team were in their own penalty area, and Lin Qi's header was not answered at all.

The second point is still the Japanese youth team. After the Japanese youth team took the ball down, they organized a new round of attack.

With less than ten minutes to go until the end of the first half, the Chinese youth team has been successful defensively so far, and they have not allowed the Japanese youth team to extend the score.

This means that in the second half, they still have a chance to turn the tables, if the Japanese youth team scores one more goal and falls behind by two goals, the situation of the Chinese youth team will be difficult.

The players of the Chinese youth team work harder when defending. They are well aware of the current situation on the field, it is impossible for the Chinese youth team to organize an attack, and the only thing they can do is not to let the Japanese youth team expand the score.

Japan's youth team was back and forth near midfield as their formation slowly pushed forward. After all, the midfield position is too far from the goal, and the Japanese youth team's attack mainly relies on a change of pace. At such a long distance, even if the rhythm is changed, the Chinese youth team has sufficient time to prepare.

The Japanese youth team are slow to move forward, and when they don't have the chance, they choose to pass back to keep the ball at their feet.

In the face of a new round of attack by the Japanese youth team, the Chinese youth team did not rush out. The players huddled in their own half and waited for the Japanese youth team to attack.

The Japanese youth team continued to push forward and finally advanced to the front of the penalty area of the Chinese youth team.

Keisuke Honda took the ball and was about to organize a wave of attacks, when three defenders of the Huaxia Youth Team instantly surrounded him.

With a bang, the football at Honda's feet was cleared by the big foot. Three feet against one foot, the Chinese youth team has the advantage in grabbing the ball.

Keisuke Honda sighed inwardly when he saw that the ball at his feet was cleared. Alas, it's a siege again, and the Chinese youth team doesn't attack, how can such a simple and rough defense be broken.

Keisuke Honda had a cruel talk to Lin Qi, he was the man who was going to score the second or even the third goal. It's just that in the face of this kind of defense of the Chinese youth team, Keisuke Honda doesn't have a good way.

They advanced to the front of the penalty area of the Chinese youth team this time, and it took at least two minutes and a lot of effort. However, the Chinese youth team only came up with a big foot, and the efforts of the Japanese youth team were all in vain.

Keisuke Honda looked at Lin Qi again, if it was him, how would he break this defense?

Set-pieces up front? Keisuke Honda shook his head, the Japanese youth team mainly plays a small area of delicate coordination, and the tactics of set-pieces in the front court are not suitable for them.

In the first half, they were not without set-piece chances. It's just that the Japanese are short and rubbed compared to the Chinese, and they can't grab the opportunity to head the ball at all.

"Since there is no way, let's just speed up the pace of the game and kill the Chinese youth team with a fast-paced attack!" Keisuke Honda groaned a little, and then he made a decision. He would love to make it 2-0 before the end of the first half, so that they could play more easily in the second half.

The score of 2:0 can also put more pressure on the Chinese youth team, so that they can't turn the tables!

Keisuke Honda paid attention, and then he made a cryptic move to his teammates, which meant attacking with all his might!

The football cleared by the Chinese youth team was re-won by the Japanese youth team. The defender of the Japanese youth team passed the ball to Keisuke Honda after a few kicks in the backfield.

Keisuke Honda took the ball and did not hesitate to speed up the pace of the game.

He and his teammates first made a one-two combination, and then used his individual ability to pass a defender of the Chinese youth team.

After that, he distributed the ball to the right wing.

After the Japanese youth team player on the right side got the ball, he stepped forward to get past the Chinese youth team defenders who were defending him. The defender of the Chinese youth team fell to the ground and blocked the ball with his thigh.

It's a pity that this ball didn't stand in the way. The Japanese youth team quickly followed, passing the ball sideways to the middle. After receiving the pass, his teammates in the middle did not stop the ball and made a straight forward stop, and the football reached the feet of Keisuke Honda.

Keisuke Honda faced the goal, didn't look back, and with a light knock on his heel, the ball was knocked back by him.

Another Japanese youth team member in the middle of the lane followed up with a kick! The ball went past a number of defenders of the Chinese youth team and flew straight to the goal.

The goalkeeper of the Chinese youth team was blocked by the defenders of the Chinese youth team, he did not know what was happening, and by the time he reacted, it was too late......

The ball flew straight to the top right corner of the goal!

The goalkeeper of the Chinese youth team looked at the ball and sighed, he was really powerless about this goal. The series of changes in Japan's youth team was so quick that even if he was not blocked by his teammates, it was difficult to save the shot.

In the upper right corner, this is an absolute dead end!

The position of the Japanese youth team's shot was on the line of the big penalty area, and this distance was a dead end, and the goalkeeper of the Chinese youth team couldn't save the ball even if he flew to save.

The soccer ball flew into the net! 2:0! The Japanese youth team doubled the score with 41 minutes to go!

This time it was even more exciting than the last goal, and the first goal of the Japanese youth team was an obvious attacking routine that they should have practiced countless times.

It's not too surprising that that attacking routine can score goals.

However, this time, the cooperation was completely improvised, and six players from the Japanese youth team participated in the attack. From the two-on-one cooperation to the breakthrough failure, from the breakthrough failure to the cross, to the straight stopper, to Keisuke Honda's heel ball, every step, the Japanese youth team cooperated very well.

It was this goal that really showed the quality of the Japanese youth team. They didn't rely on a change of pace to disrupt the Chinese youth team's defense, and Keisuke Honda was still near the midfield when he launched the attack, and the Chinese youth team had plenty of time to deal with this attack by the Japanese youth team.

It's a pity that they still didn't stop the Japanese youth team.

Keisuke Honda knocked the ball with a beautiful heel and gave Japan a shot on goal. This shot was also very beautiful, and the football was hanging in the dead corner, which made the goalkeeper of the Chinese youth team out of reach.

“goooooooooooooooal!!! The ball is in! 2:0! Japan's youth team doubled the score before the end of the first half! The Japanese narrator stretched his voice and roared excitedly.

This goal from the Japanese youth team made his blood boil. Japanese football has learned from European football for so long, and it is hoped that it can score such goals.

There are no routines, no drills in advance, and it completely relies on the tacit cooperation of the players, such a goal can be called exquisite!

"It was such a beautiful goal that none of the seven or eight defenders of the Chinese youth team could stop the Japanese youth team's attack. The cooperation between the Japanese players is quite tacit, and Keisuke Honda's heel is very exciting. Keisuke Honda is arguably the most promising player in Japan's youth team. ”

The commentators from other countries were also shocked by the wonderful cooperation of the Japanese youth team, and they did not hesitate to praise their praise.

"Japanese football has really gone ahead of Asian football, and their learning from European football has paid off!"

The commentators were full of voices praising the Japanese youth team. And Huaxia's commentary seat is a little lost.

"Oops, this ball, the defender of the Huaxia Youth Team is broken, but unfortunately it didn't block the football. The Japanese youth team's attack this time was very successful, and the Chinese youth team began to get farther and farther away from the championship. Huaxia's commentator was not in a high mood, even if he supported the Huaxia youth team again, the 0:2 deficit made him almost unable to see the hope of winning the championship. Coupled with the poor performance of the Chinese youth team in the first half, it is no wonder that he is not in a high mood.

Still, he forced himself to cheer himself up.

"At the end of the first half, the Japanese youth team scored another goal, and the Chinese youth team fell behind 0:2. But there's still a lot of time left for them and we still have the second half. ”

"What the Chinese youth team has to do now is not to be careless, and it must not be slack off because of this goal. With two goals, there is still hope for a comeback. He said this, not knowing whether he was comforting himself or the fans in front of the TV......

The fans at the scene were also disappointed, and the Chinese youth team, which they had high hopes for before the game, had fallen behind 0:2 in less than half time.

The last goal conceded by the Chinese youth team was disrupted by the Japanese youth team, and it can be barely said that they were careless. However, when the goal was conceded, the defenders of the Chinese youth team did not have any carelessness, they had worked hard, but unfortunately, they still failed to stop the Japanese youth team's goal.

Huaxia fans also have to admit that the Japanese youth team is really strong, even stronger than the current Chinese youth team! The individual ability of the players of the Japanese youth team is no worse than that of the Chinese youth team, and more importantly, their players cooperate quite tacitly.

This is something that the Chinese youth team does not have, not only does it not have, but there are even serious contradictions in the Chinese youth team. The competition between Lin Heng and Lin Qi makes this Chinese youth team like two unrelated teams playing on the field.

Such a Chinese youth team faces such a strong Japanese youth team. Can we still win the Asian Youth Championship?

Despair began to permeate the stands...... The fans' confidence in the Chinese youth team to win the championship was shaken by this goal......
