Chapter 17: Quarterfinals, Opponent Germany!

At halftime, Coleman asked the players to stick to the style of play in the first half and keep suppressing the Chinese team with attacks, so as to find opportunities to equalize as soon as possible. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Wales did the same.

As soon as the second half began, they pressed the formation to the front and prepared to besiege the Chinese team's goal, but when they did so, they found that it was not so simple, because the Chinese team also pressed out, the most obvious thing is that the Chinese team put the defense behind the middle line, not at the front of the penalty area in the first half.

The Chinese team in the face of the Welsh attack, also behaved very tough, they continued to fight in the midfield position, find the opportunity to play a wave of counterattack, originally this style of play, let Wales feel more chance to break through, but they soon found that the opponent's midfield is still very tough, not indiscriminately up to grab the ball, but play in a disciplined way, when the Chinese team gets the ball, not panicked at all, their several midfielders, will continue to pass, pass the ball to a safe position, Wales is not easy to grab again, They could only face a counter-offensive from the Chinese team.

It didn't take long for Wales to find it almost impossible to press as much as they did in the second half of the first half as they pushed the formation up front.

They have to compete with the Chinese team normally.

Of course, this also has the advantage that the Chinese team is not so tight in front of goal, as long as they can hit the ball in key positions, it becomes much easier to find good opportunities.

But as the game progressed, Wales soon found that it was very difficult.

The Chinese team in front of them is by no means a weak team, they and the opponent do not have much advantage in the midfield possession, sometimes they have to pay attention to the opponent's attack, and have to devote more energy to defense.

Wales was entangled.

There is no complexity in the Chinese team's style of play, there are basically two points - tough confrontation, tough fighting, and decisive attack.

In short, the Chinese team's style of play is very direct.

Wales feel as if they are facing England, although they are not afraid of the England team, and even won two games in the past two years, but the England team's style of play is indeed very tough, and the current Chinese team is the same, it is difficult for them to take advantage of much.

The Welsh media had hoped that Wales would have made a quick attack in the second half, and then they saw a near-evenly matched standoff.

The two sides were battling it out, and the game became particularly intense, but it is impossible to say how much of an advantage Wales have.

Wales coach Coleman stood on the sidelines, he watched the two sides fight in the midfield, and didn't feel a little puzzled, he thought the game was under control, although Wales was behind a goal, but as long as they worked hard, there was a lot of hope for equalizing or even overtaking, but now the game is different from what he thought.

The Chinese team has played!

China have always been defensive, and the opening goal of the first half was somewhat surprising, but it was also within reasonable limits, because the players did not adapt to the opponent at the beginning of the game.

Now Coleman suddenly realized that he had misunderstood, this Chinese team did not only defend, they also played very well after attacking.

So he was even more worried about the game.

On the other hand, the coach's seat of the Chinese team, Wan Sheng was very satisfied with the game, and they showed what they had trained, especially a few midfielders, who did not fall behind at all in the process of clapping with their opponents.

This is actually something Wansheng didn't expect.

Wales is a strong team, in terms of ability, not as good as the world's top teams, not much worse, the overall strength of the Chinese team is a grade worse, can only be said to be the world's second-rate, but the two sides are hard-hitting, the Chinese team is not left behind, which may be related to the football training master system, the ability of the players to improve, but also with the player's temporary play has a direct relationship.

The current situation is what he would like to see.

The reason why the team is allowed to attack is not to seek attack, but to continue to ensure the defence, let the midfield contain Wales' energy, and not allow the opponent to pass the ball to dangerous positions at will.

The players are doing a great job.

Many media commentators are also praising the performance of the Chinese team, they don't think that the strength of the Chinese team can catch up with Wales, and if they can play so well now, they must be playing well on the spot.

The commentator of the Central TV Sports Channel said, "The Chinese team is not falling behind at all, our previous worries may be superfluous, but now looking at the Chinese team, several midfielders are fighting very hard!" ”

"Of course, Wales are not left behind, they are very threatening in the attack just now, but you know, Wales are one goal behind, and if the game goes on like this, it will be very bad for them."

"Before the game, Wales head coach Coleman stressed Wales' toughness and said that Wales will definitely beat the Chinese team, but it looks like he is going to break his promise, of course, it is too early to talk about the result, and we hope that the Chinese team can continue to perform well."

"Seeing this strong Chinese team, we are not all emotional, Wan Sheng is indeed the best head coach in the world, he has transformed the Chinese team into a strong team in a short period of time!"

――――

In fact, Wales is not on the back foot.

Although the Chinese team performed very well, there is still a gap between the overall strength and the individual ability of the players and Wales.

With 20 minutes of the second half, Wales had three threatening shots on goal, while China only had one again, with neither side scoring, but many Welsh fans believe that the team is not far from scoring.

Soon the game reached the 76th minute, the score of the two teams was still 1-0, the Chinese team with the opening 2 minutes of the goal, has the lead in the score, and in the past 5 minutes, Wales launched a series of offensives, so that the Chinese team had to shrink the formation.

A lot of people are worried about the Chinese team's goal.

It was the same with Wan Sheng, the team continued to hold on for 30 minutes, but now, it depends on the perseverance and luck of the players to be able to continue to hold on.

He wants the team to win.

But if there is no way to face a crisis, he has a football training master system, but it is not a 'match modifier', it can only play a supporting role for the team and cannot really decide the outcome of the game.

This time Wales had a good chance as striker Bale slotted to the left and flicked past two defenders in quick succession, before lobbing the ball into the box and arriving behind Ramsey to smash a powerful shot.

"Ramsey!"

"Hula......"

The Welsh fans were ready to celebrate the goal, even pulling their earplugs to celebrate, but the ball hit the post and bounced off.

'Ramsey's shot! Goalpost! Goalpost! The goalpost helped the Chinese team! It's too dangerous! The Chinese team escaped! ”

The Welsh fans couldn't help but feel sorry for not scoring, it seemed that God was not on their side, and it was almost a certain chance to score just now, but the goalpost helped the Chinese team.

Ramsey felt sorry, he covered his cheeks full of unwillingness, but he had no time to regret it.

The Chinese team launched a counterattack!

The football hit the goalpost, and it fell to the feet of the fullback Zhao Mingjian, Zhao Mingjian immediately drove the ball out with a big foot, and Wang Qiuming chased the ball closely in front of the opposing defender, and unloaded the ball with the top of his head before the opposing defender, and then he turned around to protect the ball, and threw off the defender with an explosive sprint.

"Fight back! Wang Qiuming! Golden opportunity! ”

"Let's take a look at the Chinese team's counterattack, Wang Qiuming is moving forward quickly! There were no other players to follow, but there was nothing in front of him! ”

All the Welsh players were aware of the danger but there was nothing they could do, and after Ramsey's shot they were all sorry that they didn't score, and by the time the football came over, it was too late to defend.

In many games, the goal tends to come at this moment.

Now they can only pray that goalkeeper Williams can hold the goal.

At this moment, Williams shouldered the hopes of all Welsh people, but in the face of the world's best striker, even the best goalkeeper in the world, would feel powerless, and he was not the best in the world.

When Wang Qiuming kicked the goal, he could only symbolically pounce to the side, and a warm cheer rang out close to his ears.

Williams knows all too well what that means!

"Wang Qiuming! Wang Qiuming! Wang Qiuming! He helped the Chinese team score the second goal! ”

"2 to 0! 2 to 0! 77th minute of the game! Wales' goal just now failed to score, and the Chinese team immediately launched a quick counterattack, and Wang Qiuming helped the Chinese team score the ball! ”

"There are still ten minutes left, but the Chinese team is two goals ahead!"

With the commentator's words, all the Chinese fans were cheering, and the substitute players in the coach's seat of the Chinese team also rushed out, they were all venting excitedly, this goal made the Chinese team have a greater advantage, and it became very difficult for Wales to tie the score.

Those who thought Wales could equalise have fallen silent.

They couldn't believe the result.

Even the England commentator said, "The Chinese team is ahead of Wales by two goals, and Wales has little chance, there is no doubt that in this World Cup, the Chinese team has become a vigilant dark horse!" ”

"Wales are not weak, they beat England last year, and now they are going to lose in the last 16 of the World Cup!"

'It's the sadness of Wales who thought they had a good opponent and then they lost the game.

In the media discussion, the game soon resumed, and Wales did not give the Chinese team much time to celebrate, and they seized every time to attack.

Time is running out!

With two goals down, Wales almost gave up on defending and focused on attack, and they did well, and in the 84th minute, Bale helped Wales catch up with a goal to make it 2-1.

Wales see hope of catching up!

But in the following game, Wales failed to break through the Chinese team's goal, and until the moment the referee blew the whistle at the end of the game, the Welsh players burst into tears of despair.

They lost the game!

The Chinese team are cheering excitedly, and after beating Wales, they have reached the quarterfinals of the World Cup.

This is a historic moment!

All the Chinese fans are cheering!

The Chinese team has created too much history in this World Cup, and Chinese fans are beginning to look forward to the team's next performance.

Quarterfinals!

Opponent - Germany!
