Chapter 79 Scoring a Goal with a Shovel Shot
Mutali also knelt on the ground and held his head.
He looked extremely annoyed, and it was obvious that his handling of the ball still had a lot to be desired.
At the coaching bench, Lippi was also holding his head, but he soon started applauding.
Although they failed to score a goal, these two counterattacks achieved great results.
At least the Chinese team has found the right direction.
"Mutali was a little too anxious. He could have smashed the ball, passed the goalkeeper, and then pushed! After all, Stones was still some distance away from him just now!"
After a pause, He Wei said excitedly; "But it doesn't matter. We missed an opportunity, but we must seize it next time. At least judging from the current situation, our offense has still shown results!"
The Chinese fans at the scene also became excited in the second half after being depressed in the first half.
Two consecutive counterattacks were threatening, which meant that their counterattacks were effective.
That's right!
Just stare at the defender with the big head!
Fans can also see that Maguire's problem is that he is too bulky.
The three speedy and flexible forwards exert great pressure on Maguire.
The most important thing is that Kyle Walker was tightly restricted by Chen Man, which also allowed Mutali and Queenie to perform better.
Mutali, who played in the second half, has more physical energy, so he can make more technical moves to threaten England's defense.
Mutali's ability is doubtful. Judging from his current performance, he can become the offensive arrow of the Chinese team.
Under this situation, Chinese players and fans are also excited.
On the other hand, England is a little worried.
They are indeed in the lead at the moment, but they are only ahead by one goal.
Once the Chinese team equalizes the score, it will be bad.
And judging from the current situation, this possibility is not impossible.
"Big-headed Ma Kui! Why can he be selected for the national team?"
"I just said he can't do it!"
"God! Can you replace him?"
"Don't be anxious! Don't be anxious! We are still in the lead!"
England fans have begun to complain, they are very dissatisfied with Maguire's performance.
Meadows and Billy even stopped drinking.
If we say that in the first half, they felt that the situation was in their favor and they had a huge advantage.
Then after a series of changes in the second half, they no longer dared to think so.
Although Lucai did not step forward to attack, the Chinese team's two counterattacks still put a great burden on their hearts.
"I feel like something is going to go wrong."
Meadows said with a worried look.
His intuition has always been accurate. When watching games in the past, once he had this feeling, Arsenal would have problems.
And now, this feeling appears again.
Billy on the side also looked a little panicked.
The Chinese team's counterattack just now almost made his heart skip a beat.
Although no goals were conceded, the feeling of instability persisted.
"Hey! Southgate, think of a way!"
Billy shouted directly to the England coach, regardless of whether the other party could hear him or not, at least he had to convey his thoughts.
There are also many English fans who made the same move as Billy.
But even so, England coach Southgate made no move.
He still looked indifferent, as if he was confident. I don't know if he was really so or just pretending to be indifferent.
At the same time, the Chinese team has already run into the opponent's penalty area and is preparing to fight for the top.
Lucky is naturally under strict control.
After Chen Xiang came off the field, Lucai became the most threatening passing point for the Chinese team.
When Chen Man came to the penalty spot, he also looked at Lucai.
With the whistle, Chen slowly made a free throw.
"Chen Man takes a free throw, this ball is looking for Lucky Lucky"
He Wei suddenly stopped talking. He saw that Lucai had already completed his take-off. He jumped earlier than others.
And after taking off, Lucky raised his arms slightly to suppress other players who wanted to take off and interfere with him.
However, during the lateral move, he was still hit by Maguire.
The body was shaking a little, but Lucai forced himself to steady his body and used his forehead to move the ball to the back point.
"Later point!
"
Amid He Wei's exclamation, Queenie faced the sudden ball from behind and completed a volley in a hurry.
The ball hit the side net directly.
"This ball~~~side net!
"He Wei sat down helplessly. From the angle just now, it looked like he had scored a goal.
After completing the shot, the Chinese team had no time to sigh. They immediately retreated at full speed.
At this time, their fighting spirit became strong.
Don't be afraid of missing opportunities, be afraid of not having them.
In the first half, the Chinese team almost couldn't find a chance to shoot, but in the second half, they shot three times in a row, which made them seem to see hope.
Zhang Lu also said excitedly: "The situation now has become chaotic, which is good for us. Chen Man, Mutali and Quinny are a great threat to the opponent's defender, but we can send a few more people to join the counterattack." It may not be possible to achieve a better effect, but while counterattacking, we must also pay attention to defense, which is the foundation of everything!”
The words just fell.
The scene was instantly in uproar!
Thousands of England fans screamed, then held their heads and howled.
England started to attack immediately after the kick-off.
In the end, Henderson's long shot from outside the penalty area was dragged over the crossbar by Tong Lei with one hand.
Although he failed to score, the scene was still shocked.
"Come back! Come back! Mark him!"
Lekai shouted loudly.
England's counterattack this time made them sweat, and Lekai was no exception.
They were already in a backward stage. If England scored a goal here, the situation would become even worse.
At that time, let alone equalizing, it would be a problem whether there was a chance to score a goal.
For this reason, while the morale is high, it is necessary to stabilize the defense and then find an opportunity to score.
England's corner kick.
After the start of the second half, both sides launched a fierce attack on the opponent's goal.
Wilshere stood in the corner kick area and looked at his teammates in the penalty area.
At this time, Maguire, Harry Kane and other headers were all in place.
Wilshere raised his hand to signal and immediately kicked off.
The ball passed through the Chinese team's penalty area at a rapid speed. In the chaotic penalty area, no one headed the ball.
The ball came to the left and was stopped by Zhang Chenxi.
Zhang Chenxi looked forward. At this time, Chen Man looked back at him, his eyes were bright, as if he was saying.
Come on! I'll pass the ball to you, rush up!
Zhang Chenxi mustered up his courage, he passed the ball to Chen Man with one foot, and then rushed forward suddenly.
At the same time, Kyle Walker was also close to Chen Man, trying to grab the ball.
But Chen Man held Kyle Walker hard, paused for a moment, and after Zhang Chenxi came forward, he pushed the ball to the outside line.
Zhang Chenxi dribbled the ball with a big foot and passed the two directly.
"Zhang Chenxi is going forward!
!"
He Wei shouted loudly.
Zhang Chenxi went forward and dribbled forward quickly.
At the same time, Le Kai and Chen Man followed closely.
This time, five Chinese players joined the counterattack.
They were advancing very fast.
After Zhang Chenxi ran for a while with his head down, he sent the ball to the middle.
This ball was not an ordinary straight pass, but an arc.
For this reason, Mutari could catch up with the ball without slowing down.
But beside Mutari, Stones restricted the opponent tightly.
Unlike Maguire, Stones went directly to the body, and Mutari became very uncomfortable.
Once he stopped, he delayed the opportunity to counterattack.
But if he didn't stop the ball, he might be squeezed out by Stones.
At this moment, Mutari had a flash of inspiration.
He paused the ball with his left foot, and then strode forward, completely ignoring the ball that was stopped in place.
And Stones was also deceived by the opponent and followed him. When he reacted, Chen Man had already picked up the ball and rushed diagonally.
"It's bad!"
Stones' heart skipped a beat.
The English fans at the scene were also extremely nervous.
The Chinese fans stood up expectantly, and they stretched their necks to look at the court.
Chen Man rushed into the penalty area and came to the right side of the goal.
The English goalkeeper had already left the goal, and Stones followed from the side.
It can be said that Chen Man's shooting angle was almost gone.
But a smile appeared on the corner of Chen Man's mouth.
He stopped suddenly and passed the ball diagonally behind before the English goalkeeper pounced on the ball.
An inverted triangle pass.
And there, a figure in a red jersey ran over.
His running posture was a bit weird, and his legs even shook a little.
But his eyes were fixed on the ball.
Chen Man's pass was a bit too big.
Le Kai cursed inwardly, and he squeezed the last bit of strength in his body, suddenly pushed himself forward, and the whole person was in a sliding tackle posture and used his toes to reach the ball.
His whole body slid above the grass.
Under the gaze of tens of thousands of people in the stadium, Le Kai poked the ball with his toes and sent the ball into the net.
In the 73rd minute, the Chinese team equalized the score.
