Chapter 47: Deflated Balloon

"Pass it here!

"

“Stop sending back messages!

"

"Forward! Forward!

"

"What are you doing?!

! "

The German players became visibly irritable.

As time passed slowly in the first half, their emotions became extremely unstable.

The Chinese team's defense is still very calm.

Although the Chinese team received three yellow cards after 35 minutes, it did not threaten the defender.

Di Lei, Chen Man and Wang Yi.

The three men retreated to defend and committed fouls at the right time to stop the German team's attack.

Under this foul tactic, the German team's offense became increasingly unsatisfactory.

At the same time, their moods gradually became irritable.

The German team has already used one substitution in the first half.

They just wanted to equalize the score in the first half, but substitutions failed to achieve any results.

Not only was a substitution place wasted, but the overall tactics and lineup became more rigid.

One wrong step, one wrong step!

At this time, the German team was also in a mess.

Of course, what makes the German team feel most helpless is the Chinese team's Lucky.

Lucky started to defend full-time after the penalty kick.

I don’t know what kind of medicine this guy took today, and he was so violent.

Lucky almost blocked their two offensive lines by himself.

Muller and Kroos both suffered in Lucky's hands.

Especially Mueller.

Whenever he wants to steal a chicken and move forward, Lucai can remind the Chinese team's full-back, causing him to be looked at very hard.

Lucky's defensive command and his own stealing and interception abilities were demonstrated in all aspects of this game.

Even the fans can see Lucky's active performance on the court.

Although it is the defensive side, it does not attract as much attention as the offensive side.

But that's it for one or two interceptions and steals.

There were 11 interceptions and 14 steals in the first half.

Do you still want their football like this?

It can be said that Lucky alone destroyed a total of 25 attacks by the German team.

This is as strong as a monster.

Not only the German team, but also the various national teams, commentators and fans watching the game were frightened by Lucky's performance.

Lucky's popularity is not small, but it is by no means as famous as Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi around the world.

For fans, they naturally know Lucky.

But for non-fans, except for Messi and Ronaldo, the rest of the current football players will hardly appear in their field of vision.

But in this game, they completely realized Lucky.

Even without any foundation in football concepts, watching Lucai intercept and steal again and again, the efficient defensive ability is too shocking.

Coupled with the commentator's introduction and rendering, Lucai has become an insurmountable super iron wall!

A super iron wall standing in the Chinese team's midfield!

Even He Wei couldn't help but sigh.

"There are a lot of jokes about Lucky's defensive performance in the Premier League. Arsenal's midfield iron wall, Kai's inability to get through, etc. all tell everyone how strong Lucky's defensive ability is, although we have also seen that Lucky Kai’s defensive performance, but when he devotes himself to defense, this terrifying defensive coverage will simply make the opponent despair!”

Zhang Lu also nodded in approval and said; "In the early days of Arsenal, Lucky was responsible for defense. Compared with today's comprehensive, Lucky focused more on defense at the beginning, but this experience also made him The defensive ability continues to improve.”

"At Arsenal, Lucky often needs to take on more work, and defense is no longer his main task, but once Lucky devotes all his energy to defense, we can see this picture!"

During the game, Kroos strode towards the ball, trying to use his speed to break through the Chinese team's midfield defensive chain.

But as soon as he sent the ball out, Lucai had already come over to kill him.

Half a goal!

The two ran towards the ball's landing point at the same time, quickly approached, and finally collided suddenly.

No surprises.

Kroos was directly hit by Lucky and was deflected. Lucky, while keeping his body steady, protected the ball at his feet and passed it forward after observing.

Another German attack failed to work.

Cross got up from the ground with a look of helplessness.

He was too embarrassed to call a foul on this ball. It was a reasonable physical confrontation.

At this time, the referee suddenly blew the whistle.

Cross was a little surprised.

Is this a foul?

But I thought wrong.

Beep! Beep~~~~!

The whistle sounded short and long.

This is the half-time whistle.

Cross looked up at the time and before he knew it, the first half had passed.

The German players were also stunned for a while.

They actually fell behind in the first half.

And even after the substitution, it still failed to produce an effect and equalize the score.

In this mood, the German players walked towards the tunnel with their heads lowered one by one.

On the other hand, the Chinese players were all smiling.

Although after scoring the goal, they ran so fast that they almost vomited blood.

But it's all worth it.

Holding on to the goal advantage in the first half and extending this advantage into the second half is the best news for the Chinese team.

In the locker room of the Chinese team.

After Lippi walked in, he kept clapping his hands and loudly praising the players' performance.

Although there are still some holes in the defense.

But the players still used active running to seal these loopholes.

In this 11-person team competition, if anyone is lazy, it will cause a chain reaction.

The reason why the Chinese team was able to hold on to the score was largely because everyone ran without any effort.

"You guys showed me the fighting spirit, yes! We should play a game like this! In the first half, we had already gained enough advantages and retained them, and there were still 45 minutes left in the second half. This is the time to test us!”

Lippi pursed his dry lips.

In fact, Lippi was also extremely nervous at this time.

He is indeed a famous handsome man!

But if he was asked to lead Italy back then to go shopping with others, he really wouldn't be afraid at all.

But leading the Chinese team to play against the German team, Lippi, no matter how famous a coach he is, is unsure.

But the boys gave him a big surprise in the first half.

At the same time, it also created an opportunity for him to win.

Lippi is a defensive master!

He knows how to use defense to win games.

Faced with the German team's procrastinating pass-and-control attack, Lippi became a little more confident.

Lippi took off his tie, rolled up his cuffs, looked around and said, "Gentlemen, the next 45 minutes are the key. I think you understand this. How to not concede the ball within 45 minutes will determine the outcome of the game." !”

"After the last game, even at the beginning of this game, we didn't talk about any promotion."

"But now we need to think about it seriously!"

"The opportunity is right in front of us, and it is possible to advance as the first in the group. Even though we were eliminated in the quarter-finals, we played three wonderful games!"

"Of course, we won't give in so easily!"

"The next 45 minutes will be an even more difficult battle. Are you confident in winning the game?"

Faced with Lippi's question, everyone looked at each other and shouted in unison: "Yes!

"

"very good!

"

Lippi clapped his hands: "The next step is the tactics for the second half."

The Chinese players were resting and listening quietly.

On the other side, Loew also continued to boost morale.

He mentioned the fans in Germany, he mentioned the families of the players, and he searched for inspirational words in his belly to inspire the players.

But he found these had little effect.

The state of the German players is a bit hazy.

These are not achieved overnight.

The Chinese team also has no ability to defeat the German team.

What defeated the German team was the pressure from the defending champion, the expectations of thousands of fans, the media's public opinion, and the inner torture of each one.

Fueled by a variety of emotions, the German players were in an extremely chaotic and uneasy state.

They have already started thinking about a problem.

What will happen to them if they lose?

If morale is like a big balloon, then this balloon has been punctured and the air is constantly leaking out.

This is exactly the state of the German players.

Especially Neuer and Hummels.

Both men are still thinking about the penalty kick in the first half.

In this mood, Loew also became a little helpless.
