Chapter 13: The score expands

Looking at the sixth team celebrating the goal frantically, the players of the fifth team were a little frustrated, from the beginning of the game to now, they were really suppressed, almost all the players were involved in the defense in their own half, this feeling made the players of the fifth team very aggrieved.

Their strength is not inferior to their opponents at all, but why did the game play like this?

When the players thought of this, they all unconsciously set their eyes on Chen Lin and Salgado, these two people are the culprits, if it weren't for them, we would never be suppressed by the sixth team, especially the goal of the sixth team, which has a very direct relationship with Chen Lin.

It was his lack of strength in defence that gave Todd the chance to break to the edge of the box, which in turn led to the goal conceded.

After conceding the goal, the players of the fifth team looked at Chen Lin with not only distrust and disdain, but also a trace of hatred.

You know, this is the main selection match of the Major League Soccer Draft, and if the fifth team loses in such a game, the likelihood of them becoming a professional player will undoubtedly be greatly reduced.

And Chen Lin, the culprit who can't make them professional players, is their biggest enemy!

The players of the fifth team really want to kick Chen Lin off the field directly, even if there is really one less person to fight, I am afraid that the fifth team will not be suppressed so badly by the sixth team, after all, the difference in strength between the two teams is not as big as it was shown on the spot.

Thinking of the comparison of the strength of the two teams, the players of the fifth team couldn't help but wonder a little, did Chen Lin really drag them back as seriously as imagined? The fifth team will be pressed and beaten by the sixth team on the field, is it really Chen Lin's responsibility?

It doesn't seem to be the case, as they thought just now, even if Chen Lin is really not on the field, the fifth team is really one less person to fight, and with the strength of the sixth team, it is impossible to suppress them and have no power to fight back.

What's more, Chen Lin didn't do much, he was still very active in defense, although his defensive ability was really flattering, but he always played a little role, and it was better than not having this person.

The players of the fifth team thought like this, and they were even more puzzled, they didn't know what the problem was, why was it just one more player like Chen Lin, and the fifth team was suppressed by the sixth team?

Are we a lot worse than the sixth team? Or were we too conservative in our tactics for this game?

The players of the fifth team will not admit that their strength is worse than that of the sixth team, everyone is here to participate in the professional football draft, if you don't have any confidence in your own strength, then you still choose a fart.

Since it's not a matter of strength, it must be a matter of tactics.

The tactics used by the fifth team in this game are defensive counterattacks, which was proposed by Bruin, after excluding Chen Lin and Salgado, Bruin also knew that the fifth team would be weaker than the opponent in terms of overall strength, so he asked the fifth team to adopt defensive counterattack tactics in the game.

Bruin has been famous for a long time, he has good quality and speed, and the players of the fifth team believe in his ability to counter-attack quickly.

The players felt that with Bruin, if the team went to play defensive counterattacks, they would be able to easily defeat the sixth team even without the participation of Chen Lin and Salgado.

However, the reality was not as rosy as they had expected before the game, and the fifth team was suppressed by the sixth team from the very beginning of the game due to their relatively conservative tactics, and at the same time, Bruin's quick counterattack did not have any effect.

Is it because we overestimate Bruin's strength?

Bruin's performance in the previous game time, the players have to watch, they have to say a little disappointed, Bruin got a total of three good counter-attack opportunities, in the players' expectations, these three counter-attack opportunities should at least be converted into a goal, but Bruin just completed a shot of low quality.

Seemingly aware of his teammates' dissatisfaction with him, Bruin did not go to Chen Lin's trouble after conceding the goal, but returned to his own half of the court as soon as possible to comfort his teammates.

"It's just a goal behind, don't worry, I'll definitely equalize before half-time!" Bruin's words were like a booster, which refilled the fighting spirit of the players of the fifth team, who had just been a little depressed.

They didn't hold too much grudge against Chen Lin, a person who was not expected to play any role in the first place, but there was an expected problem, what is there to hate?

Anyway, he can't really become a professional player through the main selection match, just as if he is not on the court......

The players felt a lot better thinking about it, and they reopened their defensive stance and waited for the game to continue.

※※※

After the restart, the situation of the fifth team did not improve well, and they still shrank into their own half, waiting for the opponent to take the initiative.

The Sixth team certainly won't give up the chance to take advantage of the victory, and in the period when they have just completed their goal, the players of the sixth team have played better and better, and just looking at the situation on the field, no one will doubt that the sixth team could extend their lead at any time.

The fifth team was quite tenacious, at least they defended it, and during the period when the sixth team's attack was at its most frenzied, the fifth team stubbornly held their goal, and the players did not let the situation on the field deteriorate further.

Although during this time, the fifth team did not even play a quick counterattack, but did not continue to concede goals, which is already the biggest victory of the fifth team.

It was impossible for the Sixth Team to maintain such an offensive all the time, and sure enough, as the game approached forty minutes, the Sixth Team slowed down their attacking tempo. The players of the sixth team will also get tired, and after finding that they cannot continue to expand the score in a short period of time, the players of the sixth team chose to slow down the rhythm of the field.

In the 43rd minute of the game, the fifth team broke the ball at the back and drove the ball directly to the midfield, and Bruin successfully received a pass from his teammates, which was an excellent counterattack!

It's just that, next to Bruin, the two defenders of the sixth team are still staring at him.

It was not easy for Bruin to break through the defense of these two defenders at once, and at this moment, Salgado quickly ran up, and there was no opponent's defender by his side!

As if afraid that Bruin would not find his support, Salgado could not care about his shyness, and he stretched out his arms and yelled loudly, hoping to get Bruin's attention so that he could pass the football to his feet.

However, Bruin was unmoved, and when he only needed one pass to create a one-on-one ball for Salgado, Bruin chose to force a breakthrough!

The players of the fifth team all know why Blue refuses to pass the ball to Salgado, isn't it because Salgado is stupidly standing in Chen Lin's camp, if they do, they will not choose to pass the ball to Salgado's position.

Anyway, I can complete the breakthrough, so why give up the opportunity to let people with a single goal?

Just when the players of the fifth team thought that Bruin would break through the defense of two defenders and finally score the football into the opponent's goal to equalize, they suddenly found that the football was broken.

Yes, the ball was broken, and Bruin didn't manage to get past the opposing team's two defenders, and he couldn't even protect the ball under the wraps of the two defenders.

The ball was cut off and possession was back at the feet of the sixth, and Bruin squandered a brilliant equaliser.

However, it wasn't the worst of all, the worst was when the sixth team used only two passes to get the ball to John Rooney at the edge of the fifth team's penalty area.

John Rooney took the ball and fired straight away from distance, and before all the Fifth Team players could recover from Bruin's wasted chances, the ball flew straight into the back of the net behind them......

2:0! The Sixth team doubled the score with John Rooney's long-range shot before the end of the first half!
