Fox in the Penalty Area

In fact, when Xia Xiaoyu received the pass from Zhou Zijing, He Feng and Yan Kang in the commentary booth became excited and nervous.

They are high above, and they can naturally see that Mexico's backcourt is basically empty-the empty ones can indulge in horse racing.

But it seems that there are a lot of vacancies, but not all of them may be able to eventually form a goal.

This is the time to test the ability of an offensive playmaker.

Some players always think about getting the football as close to the goal as possible at this time, so they often choose to pass directly to Hu Lai who is running at the front.

But in fact, there is Mexican central defender Jose Tona beside Hou Lai at this time, and at the same time other Mexican players are returning to defense. If the football is passed directly to Hou Lai, he may not be able to get a better chance.

There are also some players who will hesitate in this situation, because there are three ways in front of him-go straight to Houlei, split the side to Luo Kai, or simply do it by himself.

But the more this kind of counterattack, the more he can't hesitate.

Don't look at the fact that there isn't a Mexican player within ten meters of Xia Xiaoyu, but if he thinks for a second longer, the range will be reduced by half.

So in fact, there is not much time left for him.

A level player is often able to make the most correct decisions in the fastest time.

It didn't take long for Xia Xiaoyu to make the right decision.

He passed the football to Luo Kai.

Tona, who was originally by Hu Lai's side, was pulled to the wing, and Vega hastily returned to the defensive position and hadn't stabilized yet...

Opportunities are created!

Luo Kai's cross was also very timely. He didn't dribble the ball all the way into a dead end and pass the ball. Instead, he saw the gap in the penalty area in time and passed the football.

Everyone made the right choice in their position, and the end result was to create a killing spree!

But that's not enough.

After all, the previous series of cooperation was wonderful, and it is not uncommon for the player who took the last shot to kick the football into the sky.

The success of an attack still depends on whether there is a goal in the end.

No goal, all previous wonderful performances will be reset to zero...

Fortunately, the Chinese team has a top finisher!

Hu Lai's astute movement in the penalty area seized the opportunity and shot the football towards the goal from the front point!

When shooting, his foot looks like he wants to kick the football forward, but when he actually touches the ball, he uses the second half of the inside of his foot to rub the football towards the back of the goal!

The flight path of the football did not match his shot. This caught Mexican goalkeeper Salvador Manriquez by surprise—his reaction was obviously a bit slower. Although he still rushed to the back point, he failed to stop the football in time. ...

Seeing the football bouncing into the goal, the stone hanging in He Feng's heart crashed to the ground, and he shouted loudly: "The goal is scored!! Beautiful!! Great goal!! The Chinese team leads Mexico 2:1! Hu Lai scored twice!! He scored three goals in the China Cup, surpassing Lasky who scored two goals, and currently occupies the top scorer list!!"

"The Chinese team took the lead again! And this time, they took advantage of the gap left by Mexico's high-post press and played a classic quick counterattack!" Yan Kang was also very excited.

The Provincial Sports Center cheers!

Chinese fans raised their arms and cheered in the stands.

After scoring the goal, Hu Lai pointed to Luo Kai who passed the ball to him, and ran to the corner flag area to celebrate his goal.

"HUUUUU!!!"

※※※

When Hu Lai scored a goal, the Chinese team's coaches, assistant coaches and others all rushed out to celebrate. The head coach Jorge Dillon turned his head and saw Bai Di who was also celebrating, but he showed a embarrassed look.

When Bai Di was called back just now, just in time for Mexico's high position to press, Dillon asked Yu Jintao to arrange how to deal with it, and did not immediately let Bai Di come off the bench.

Now it seems that it is fortunate that this is the case, which gave the Chinese team a chance to score this goal.

After all, he originally planned to replace Luo Kai with Bai Di.

And Luo Kai is the assister in this goal...

The Chinese team led Mexico 2:1 with Hu Lai's brace, and the situation on the field will also change accordingly.

His original substitution plan could not continue.

Mexico, which is behind, will definitely counterattack frantically in the next game.

If Luo Kai is replaced again, it will mean that the Chinese team's speed wings on the two wings will directly break one wing.

So he couldn't replace Luo Kai, he had to leave Luo Kai on the field and prepare to fight back.

Since Luo Kai cannot be replaced, Bai Di naturally cannot be replaced...

Calling him back, and then telling him "Sorry, you can't get on", it feels a bit like "playing with you".

However, the problem of face and face does not make Dillon entangled. He just feels a little sorry for Bai Di, but he will still make the right choice.

So he grabbed the translator Yu Jintao who was about to rush out to celebrate the goal, and asked him to tell Bai Di the latest decision.

"Huh?" Bai Di was really surprised to hear that he would not play again, but he didn't say anything, the head coach was the biggest.

It is also impossible for him to argue with Dillon, saying why he should not let himself play.

He can only honestly go back to the bench and sit on the bench, and then make preparations for being replaced next time...Of course, it is also possible that he will not have a chance to play until the end of the game.

After letting Bai Di return to the bench, Dillon asked Yu Jintao to call Jiang Wanqing back from the warm-up area.

In response to Mexico's possible counterattack, it is necessary to strengthen the defense. Dillon intends to replace Zhang Qinghuan with midfielder Jiang Wanqing.

Xia Xiaoyu's position is slightly advanced. When counterattacking, he uses his long pass to organize the offense. When defending, he can also be responsible for sweeping and providing support for the team's midfield defense.

Behind him are Jiang Wanqing and Gao Ruimin, two defensive midfielders, which have increased the defensive ability of the Chinese team in the midfield.

In addition, this substitution also means that Dillon has adjusted the thinking of the Chinese team in the game. Facing Mexico's high defense, it will be easier to directly use the long pass from the backcourt to play the ball.

Although the success rate of this approach is relatively low, it may be more effective when Mexico is all out.

At the same time, the cost of counterattack is also lower, so that there will be no loopholes in one's defense during the counterattack, and it will be caught and used by Mexico...

When the Chinese team finished celebrating, Jiang Wanqing had been called back to the coach, and then Dillon and Yu Jintao gave him face-to-face instructions.

After the confession, he patted his shoulder and pushed him towards the fourth official.

The Chinese team quickly completed the substitutions, with Zhang Qinghuan off and Jiang Wanqing on.

As Dillon guessed, Mexico obviously strengthened its offensive after conceding the ball.

Generally speaking, the side that scores goals will continue to press and create opportunities. But now Mexico, which lost the ball, was not overwhelmed by the Chinese team.

Relying on their stronger overall strength, they turned their backs and besieged the goal of the Chinese team.

It was like a powerful wild beast, after being stabbed by a hunter, not only did not shrink back and fear, but became fiercer and more violent.

This time is the most dangerous for hunters, and it is the darkest time before dawn.

If you can't stand it and get bitten back by a wild beast, you may lose your life, not to mention the lack of success.

But if he can withstand it, survive it, even if he is injured a little bit, is a little embarrassed, and makes the beast exhausted, then the energy consumption alone will kill it.

The last dozen or so minutes of the game were both dangerous and full of opportunities.

"Replace Zhang Qinghuan and replace Jiang Wanqing... Dillon is about to defend." He Feng said after seeing the substitution.

It's normal to keep up.

Although it is dangerous to lead by one goal, with the strength of the Chinese team, which is 50th in the FIFA rankings, being able to lead Mexico, which is 17th by one goal, is already remarkable. What more do you want?

Is it really necessary to lead by two or three goals?

That would be really greedy and greedy.

Be careful of being backlashed.

In the eyes of two professionals, He Feng and Yan Kang, choosing a more secure tactic just shows that Dillon is an excellent coach.

Next door Mexico coach Alfonso Ledes saw the substitution and realized what Dillon was trying to do.

"He wants to keep defending until the end of the game... But with the defensive level of the Chinese team, it is difficult for them to do it... But this is also good, it gives us more opportunities to attack! We also make substitutions!" Ryders Said to his assistant coach.

Four minutes later, Mexico made a substitution.

They replaced left-back Rolando Perez with attacking midfielder Horacio Ramirez.

The formation has changed from the previous 433 to 343.

Mexico is going crazy too!

The game entered a heated stage, and the Chinese fans in the stands kept chanting cheering slogans to cheer for the players of the Chinese team.

Although it is said that even if Mexico equalizes the score, the Chinese team still has the opportunity to play a penalty kick with their opponents, and it is still possible to win the championship.

But if you can end the fight in ninety minutes, why bother?

Besides, being equalized by Mexico will hit the morale of the team, but it will always affect the penalty shootout...

The trapped beast is still fighting, this is the time to compete for willpower!

Whoever can grit his teeth and resist will have the last laugh!
