Chapter 264: Back to Normal
In the dressing room in Oman, head coach Roguin is impassionedly praising his players and trying to paint a beautiful blueprint for them to "beat China". Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
“...... One goal lead is not enough, we have to score another goal! Just use the time at the beginning of the second half, use the thunderous offensive to completely defeat the Chinese team! They entered the game slower than us, and this is a good opportunity. As soon as we were able to take a two-goal lead over them, they collapsed, so if you have the chance, don't show mercy and keep attacking and try to score more goals!"
Leguin's current consideration is not to get three points, but to get more goal difference, maybe there is a chance to compete with the Chinese team and goal difference?
Legon is a bit too far ahead, but such a blueprint is also very popular with the Omani players.
They have the same aspirations......
※※※
So after the start of the second half, the Omani players screamed and continued to launch a fierce attack on the Chinese team's goal.
They faithfully followed the instructions of their coach Le Guin - taking advantage of the opportunity of the Chinese team to get into the game at the beginning of the second half and try to score another goal.
So Oman pressed on it and besieged the Chinese team's goal, and the Chinese fans who watched it were really frightened, and some of them had poor endurance and almost turned off the TV and didn't dare to watch it.
But the Chinese players on the pitch felt completely different from the fans, and instead of feeling dangerous, they felt at ease – because it was exactly what Zhou Yi told them at half-time.
It also gives them confidence in what they want to do next.
Judging from Oman's offensive, they seem to have completely failed to take into account the Chinese team's ability to counterattack. Perhaps the dominant first half gave them all the illusion that "we are stronger than the Chinese team".
Zhou Yi has always been observing the situation on the field and looking for opportunities at the same time.
Four minutes into the second half, he finally found a suitable opportunity.
So he turned to Yang Muge and shouted, "Old Yang!"
Yang Muge didn't need to look at his movements to know what she was going to do, and immediately passed the football over.
Zhou Yi made a gesture to catch the ball, Oman's defenders rushed up from behind to steal his ball, but Zhou Yi didn't really catch the ball, just a feint, a false shot, let the football slip away from him, and his own home, he turned around and blocked the opposing player behind him, at this time he kicked the football out directly, a long diagonal pass of more than 30 meters, and sent the football to the left side of the field!
There, He Ying was cutting forward at high speed, and within ten meters of him, there was not a single Omani player, and at this time, there was no one else in Oman's backfield except for a central defender and a goalkeeper.
It's a great opportunity to fight back!
"Zhou Yi's precise long pass - good ball!!" Before He Ping's words fell, he saw He Ying raise his foot and stop the flying football five or six meters in front of him, he just didn't need to slow down, keep accelerating and continue to rush forward.
"This is a counterattack by the Chinese team!"
He Ping's excited voice trembled.
Mukaheni, the only Omani centre-back at the back, ran over to cut off the ball at Ho Ying's feet.
In the face of his scramble, He Ying's strategy was very simple - when the opponent approached him, he pushed the football forward hard, kicked it out for almost ten meters, and then he accelerated and sprinted, shook off the opponent, and chased the football.
And Mukahayni let in the process, he could only watch He Ying slip away from him, and he didn't even have time to reach out and pull......
From the beginning of the game, the fans of the Chinese team were listless and did not make any sound as if they were really sunburned.
But now, as if they had been in a drought for a long time, they were all in good spirits, shouting desperately and cheering for the Chinese team.
※※※
He Ying dribbled the ball towards Oman's goal, goalkeeper Al Habsi abandoned the goal, and when he just rushed past the penalty spot, He Ying, who had not yet entered the penalty area, got up and shot!
A spoon was slinged, and the ball flew over his head, and he could do nothing but look up.
Of course, he may still be able to pray to Allah in his heart that his God will help him and stop the ball from flying into the goal.
But unfortunately, there is no god in this world.
After passing him, the ball fell and flew into Oman's goal without any suspense!
"Okay - the ball - !!! The ball went in! The Chinese team equalized! A textbook quick counterattack! Zhou Yi's accurate long pass, He Ying handled it calmly! Perfect cooperation!" He Ping couldn't help but wave his fist in the commentary seat.
A draw is a result he can live with, especially after the first half, and a draw is the best.
Anyway, there is a draw between the Japanese team and Australia, and after the Chinese team draws with Oman, the point difference with the Japanese team is still one point, so what is unacceptable?
Wouldn't it be more gimmicky and exciting to leave the suspense of whether to qualify or not to the home game against Japan?
※※※
When He Ying scored, the Chinese fans in the stands also jumped up, raised their arms and shouted, which didn't look like they were exposed to the sun at all.
It was already six o'clock in the afternoon, the sun was getting more and more westward, the temperature was also dropping a little, and the sea breeze was blowing from time to time, bringing a little coolness.
The hearts of Chinese fans are finally not as depressed as before......
Maybe the hard days are over, right?
※※※
The goal was a big surprise to Oman, as can be seen from the way they looked stunned after conceding the goal. But in fact, this is completely predictable, and it can only be said that Oman felt too good about himself before.
They think they almost drew with the Chinese team on the road, and don't they take it for granted to win the Chinese team at home?
But they forgot that in the first leg of the top 10 match, there was only one returnee player in the Chinese team, and the other four dragons were still in the national Olympic team at that time, preparing for the Olympic Games.
And now, they are facing the strongest Chinese team with all the returnee players playing.
Even with the high temperatures to help them, the difference in strength between the two teams is still obvious.
Some people in the Chinese team also thought so, so He Ying, who scored the goal, didn't even celebrate much. In the stands and in the commentary box, as well as in front of the TV and on the Internet, Chinese fans were excited about his equalizing goal, but what about He Ying himself?
After seeing the ball fly into the goal, he turned and ran towards the center circle, then waved his hand casually, casually as if the ball was not worth mentioning.
For He Ying, it seems that this is really the case, is Oman a very strong opponent? He Ying doesn't think, so what is there to celebrate when he scores a goal in Oman?
He just ran back, and Zhou Yi gave him a thumbs up in the backcourt, and he wasn't very excited.
※※※
He Ying's conceded goal was a big deal for the Omani players, who were thinking about a two-goal lead a minute ago, but now it turned into a draw in the blink of an eye.
What's next?
The task fell to head coach Roguin.
As the coach of the team, he has to solve this problem of direction, a team without direction is a team without fighting power.
Without that first half, Le Guin might have felt that 1-1 was a good result, and in fact he had planned it the week before the game.
But after the performance in the first half, he was not reconciled to just a draw.
He still hopes to beat China at home.
So he quickly made a decision - to keep attacking and try to score goals in a short time!
He gave his instructions, and the whole Omani team followed.
No one knows, it was a bad decision.
Although they ran for 50 minutes, the players of the Chinese team now feel relaxed, on the one hand, because the sun is sinking in the west, the temperature is dropping a little, and the sea breeze is not blowing, which makes the players feel comfortable. On the other hand, it was because of He Ying's goal that everyone was at ease, and at the same time, they also saw the difference in strength between themselves and Oman, which made them realize that in fact, Oman did not pose much of a threat to them.
The first half was just an illusion in a special situation......
So just when Oman was stepping up its attack, the Chinese team once again used a quick counterattack, and He Ying scored twice to take the lead for the Chinese team.
And this goal was just four minutes after his last goal......
"He Ying!!Great! Another quick counterattack! The Chinese team is ahead! The Chinese team is overtaking!!" He Ping was a little incoherent in the commentary seat.
He knew all too well what that goal meant.
However, He Ying still had that "taken for granted" expression, with an indifferent smile on his face, high-fived his teammates who came up to him to celebrate, and then simply hugged him.
It's a celebration.
There is no excitement at all about "if we win this game, we will qualify early".
In He Ying's heart, his two goals are just to get the game back on the right track, just to return to normal, so what's there to be excited about?
