CHAPTER XLIV

5 to 3! This counterattack of the Chinese team is as swift as thunder! Lao Qi also did not forget to observe the running position of his teammates in the middle and far end of the road during the fast march, which is something that the coaching staff has been emphasizing in recent training. In the face of a strong team, every counterattack is hard-won, and this is the case in the vast majority of games in which the weak defeat the strong, the weak team withstands the opponent's indiscriminate bombardment with an iron bucket-like defense, and finally makes the final decision with a counterattack. It can be said that a weak team that can't fight back is not a qualified weak team! Even some mid-to-upper teams and a handful of big teams have relied on sharp counterattacks to gain a foothold in the league

At this time, only Adams, Mawson and Neville kept up with the counterattack speed of the Chinese team, and Lao Qi quickly made his own decision. A cross unexpectedly did not choose the route in the penalty area, but rolled quickly from outside the line of the big penalty area towards the middle. In this way, Adams, who had entered his own penalty area at high speed, almost lost his balance, and Peng Da at the front point observed that Mawson had pounced fiercely towards him, so he rubbed it, and the ball arced in front of Mawson.

Mawson hurriedly turned around to block, but he knew very well how hard the young man behind him was. Li Bern was going to go directly into the penalty area and shoot again, but the ball was somewhat affected by Mawson's defense, the height was roughly slightly down his chest, if the chest stopped the ball and then went to the penalty area, 7% of the probability will be caught up by Mawson.

After thinking about it for less than a second, Lee Bern turned sideways and let go of the ball flying towards him, and Mawson's eyes also chased the ball to look over, which scared him. At the back point, the No. 3 player of the Chinese team actually stuck Neville to the outside!

This ball is actually still dangerous, if Neville wants to break the ball from the outside, there is only one way to tackle, for Wu Chengying, who is traveling at high speed, the possibility of injury is very high. Xiao Wu didn't have time to think about it, stopped the ball and took a step forward, and flattened his left foot in the line of the big penalty area and hit a world wave!

Distal dead end! Sea-Man made an extremely exaggerated save to no avail, and the ball went in! The Chinese team completed a high-quality counter-attack and equalized in the 67th minute of the second half.

China 1:1 England.

Ooh! People in the football circle all over the world are a little crazy at this moment, is it possible that the Chinese team is still thinking about going to the next level?! You must know that your opponent is England, conservatively speaking, it is also a top 15 team in the world, but you really dare to think about it, and you really dare to let it go.

When people lamented the brilliant performance of the Chinese team, Capello on the side of the England bench was about to crush his teeth. What the heck! Last year, when Milan went to China, this team did not have such strength at all, and at that time their back line could not even cope with the more intense pressing, which is growing too fast!

In fact, in 98 years, Lao Fan's national football team was definitely not bad in terms of personal ability, what was lacking was the skills and tactics brought by excellent coaches, strong psychology, and World Cup experience.

Although the national football team did not invite any big-name foreign coaches to the World Cup, this team Li Bourne can be regarded as half of the head coach, in his previous life, as a retired professional player, and watched so many years of high-level games, for technical and tactical purposes, the teenager is theoretically not weaker than most of the famous coaches in the world, and even more than the average level, and the national football coaching staff is also willing to only Li Bourne is the first to look forward, people say that the three stinkers are also Zhuge Liang, not to mention that Li Bourne will take out the advanced skills and tactics in the future, If you develop a suitable style of play for different opponents, the effect will naturally be poor.

Self-confidence and experience are all built through tough battles. The reform of the national football team in the past two years can be described as huge and successful, starting from the World Youth Championships, a group of capable newcomers were born first, as well as the improvement of the league level, plus Li Byrne's participation in the South American Club Cup to exercise. Isn't it popular to say that if you can't beat it, join it, for the national football team, these words are correct, but it's just a different way of understanding. It's true that we can't play those super giants in South America, so it's always okay for me to pay the tuition and study with you. Strictly speaking, the current national team, the Suns and FIYTA, has too much positive impact on the participation in the South American Club Cup. Just look at the list of the national football team, the Suns almost occupy 1/3 of the places, and these players are real and Boca, Sao Paulo and other teams have done it! Even at that time, it was in the top 4, plus Fan Zhiyi, Zhang Enhua, Sun Jihai and some other excellent old internationals, the strength of this team has long left other Asian friends far behind.

This is a different Chinese men's football team!

Let's get back to the game, and the goal of the national football team once again disrupted Capello's deployment, and there were only 20 minutes left in the game. This is a very embarrassing period of time, forced by the deterrence of the Chinese team's counterattack, England did not dare to press all the lines for 1 goal. In the next time, both teams will definitely put defense first, and each team is willing to be killed by the opponent at the end of the game.

After about 5 minutes of stalemate between the two sides in midfield, Capello finally took the lead, and it seems that he still can't accept that his team was dragged into extra time by the Chinese team, and no one dares to guarantee that he will not concede the goal first. In Ka Shuai's view, with injury time, the last 18 minutes are the time to gamble.

Standing on the sidelines was Liverpool's golden boy Michael. Owen, who replaced former Liverpool striker Robbie. Fowler, Capello is going to fight behind. Then England's Beckham was withdrawn to the central midfielder position, and Owen did not take the front himself, but formed a 3 forward midfielder with McManaman and Scholes, without a striker! This is the second time since the Japanese team was forced to rush at the World Youth Championships that Lee Bourne has seen the coach of the 90s arrange a strikerless lineup after returning from the World Youth Championships.

Obviously, Owen's position at the back is to pull out the national team's back line and create a longer distance for Owen to break through. The national football team is not stupid, and it is natural that the entire midfield and backfield began to retreat to compress the opponent's attacking space.

Sometimes, the wit of a player on the pitch can change the situation of the game, and of course, this requires the player to have a strong ability to read the game. In the 42nd minute of the second half, the retreat of the Chinese team's back line gave the opponent more space to move in front of the penalty area, resulting in 6 English midfielders being able to control the ball more calmly, reverse the ball, and Owen in the middle of the ball stopped a little more outrageously, and the ball is now obviously five or five open for Zhang Enhua and Owen in the middle, and everyone has a chance to grab the ball.

Kuroko, as a defender, reacted purely subconsciously to this opportunity for a steal, and when he made a move, he suddenly found himself fooled. Owen suddenly started horizontally and opened the gap, this time the sunspot was in front, Fan Zhiyi and Li Wei were still dragging behind, and it was too late to make offside.

said that it was too late and that was fast, McManaman swept past Lao Fan, and inserted into the penalty area of the national football team like a gust of wind, and Owen's direct plug was also just right, McManaman scored with a low shot!

England regained the lead in the 43rd minute of the second half, and the national football team was forced to the edge of the cliff, and the last 5 minutes!
