Fox in the Penalty Area

Seeing his son raised his hands to the sky amidst the cheers of the fans, the mother Ren Changmei in the stands finally did not hold back the tears that came out of her eyes.

She stood alone among the cheering crowd, tears streaming down her face.

Then there was a gust of wind, and she suddenly turned her head to look aside.

A figure that had been away for many years appeared next to her at some unknown time, looking towards the stadium.

After sensing her gaze, she turned her head and looked over, with a smile on her face that had never grown old.

Ren Changmei also laughed, until tears wet his eyes and filled his vision. She just raised her hand to wipe the tears from her eyes, and when she took her hand away, the familiar figure had disappeared.

It was as if she had never been here before, as if it was just an illusion of her own.

Ren Changmei started looking around after being astonished, but couldn't find it. None of those excited faces was familiar to her.

Realizing that it was really his own illusion, Ren Changmei sat down slowly in the stands, staring blankly at the dense crowd in the front row.

At this moment of joy for the whole country, she was stunned.

When the Chinese players swarmed over the billboard and ran towards Zhang Qinghuan to celebrate the goal with him, the Uzbekistan coach Rasulov in front of the visiting team's coach turned angrily and hit the awning of the coaching bench with a punch.

He is not dissatisfied with the performance of the players, he is dissatisfied with himself.

Because he has been emphasizing the importance of staring at Hu Lai before the game, the defense against Hu Lai in the game can be regarded as a success.

He adopted the strategy of quickly shrinking the defense, also because he was concerned about the speed advantage of the two wide players, Chen Xingyi and Luo Kai.

He arranged everything he could think of for the Chinese team's offensive trident, but he ignored the "hand" waving this trident-Zhang Qinghuan!

In other words, Zhang Qinghuan’s scoring ability was ignored!

With such an excellent teammate as Hu Lai, Zhang Qinghuan’s goals in the club are not too many, so it is easy to create the illusion that Zhang Qinghuan is an offensive midfielder who focuses on organizing offenses and is not good at scoring.

In fact, he can score goals.

Now it’s not whether he has the ability to score goals, but whether he wants to score...

When there is a better scorer in front than him, he would rather do a good job at the back and send assists.

This does not mean that he will not score. If there is a chance to score, he will not let it go.

Just now, Hulai and Luo Kai's crossover position successfully helped him open the goal of Uzbekistan. In front of him, Uzbekistan's penalty area suddenly felt "suddenly open".

If Zhang Qinghuan didn't know how to seize such a good opportunity, he wouldn't be the most talented super genius in Chinese football before Hu Lai appeared.

※※※

Zhang Qinghuan's goal occurred in the fortieth minute, and there was not much time left before the end of the first half.

The Chinese team could not take advantage of this opportunity to boost morale after the goal and continue to siege Uzbekistan's goal.

Five minutes passed in a flash.

The referee soon blew the whistle at the end of the first half, and the Chinese team entered the halftime with a one-goal lead.

This score makes people happy, but it doesn't let them relax.

Because it's just one goal lead.

If the game ended with this score, it would definitely be Uzbekistan that laughed out loud, not the Chinese team.

Because for Uzbekistan, who returned to play at home in the second round, a 0:1 loss in the first round is nothing short of a win.

Therefore, the Chinese team has only one task in the second half, that is, to score more goals and score more goals, not only to win, but to win more.

In response to this situation, Uzbekistan’s head coach Rasulov cheered up his players in the locker room: "...Although you lost a goal, overall, your performance in the first half was very good. Next time and advantage are on our side-the Chinese team will definitely attack in the second half. As long as we have the patience and can withstand their attack, then as time goes by, the Chinese team will definitely play more and more impatient in the end. So we must stick to the defensive counterattack tactics! Don't get too entangled with them in the midfield, and don't be thrown around by their passing! Keep our penalty area, as long as there is no space, they can't score! At the same time, don't Give Zhang Qinghuan a chance to shoot from outside the penalty area!"

At the same time, in the home team's locker room, Shi Wuyin was also saying this to his players:

"We will continue to score goals in the second half, which is obvious. So Uzbekistan must have guessed our reaction. It is impossible to catch our opponent flat-footed. We do have to attack in the second half, but at the same time we must be extraordinarily extravagant. Pay attention to their counterattacks-if the situation is critical, even if it is a foul, their counterattacks should be interrupted at the first signs, and they must not be allowed to fight."

Shi Wuyin arranged more defenses during the intermission, including how to prevent Uzbekistan's counterattacks from the players; what aspects should be paid attention to during this critical period of transition from offense to defense; the defense of Namozov needs to be done To what point...

As for the offense, he didn't say much.

Because there is nothing to say.

Uzbekistan shrinks its defense, and the Chinese team plays a positional battle on offense. Players who participate in the offense know how to play on the court. The offensive routines are only those, and it is difficult to play tricks.

Moreover, compared with his own detailed tactics and micro-maneuvers, he believes in the fetters of Hu Lai, Chen Xingyi, Zhang Qinghuan, and Luo Kai on the court.

Three of these four have played on the same team for two years and won two national championships. This tacit understanding is naturally invincible.

Luo Kai also played the Olympic Games with Hu Lai and Chen Xingyi in the Olympic team. He and Hu Lai are still high school classmates, so it can be said that they are very familiar with each other.

They must know what to do on the court, and they don’t need to be a coach themselves. In fact, when Shi Wuyin is playing, it is difficult for any coach to teach him how to attack on the court, because his playing style is erratic, and it is difficult to use a certain fixed routine to ask him what to do. kick.

That's what Zhang Qinghuan scored in the first half. Hu Lai's running position made people think he would be the one to finally shoot. Later, Luo Kai's sudden diagonal cut made people turn their attention to him.

It turned out that Zhang Qinghuan was the one who finally shot.

Even Shi Wuyin hadn't thought of this.

This does not belong to the offensive routines they have trained before the game, it is entirely the result of players improvising on the court.

If it must be said where the training results are reflected, it is also the continuous training of cross-runs that helped Zhang Qinghuan to open the opponent's central defense in this attack.

Both sides completed the adjustment and arrangement of the intermission, and the fifteen-minute rest time was over in the blink of an eye.

The two teams did not make substitutions, and directly changed sides to fight again.

As Uzbekistan coach Rasulov guessed right, after the start of the second half, the Chinese team relied on their home court advantage and first launched a fierce attack on Uzbekistan's goal.

As expected, Uzbekistan's players are calm and not panicked.

Anyway, as long as they lock the door and ensure that they do not leave room for the Chinese team in the penalty area, they can make the Chinese team's offensive come back again and again.

And because of Zhang Qinghuan's goal in the first half, during the intermission, coach Rasulov also specifically urged the players to strengthen the prevention of Zhang Qinghuan's direct shot. It was the last patch for the team's defense.

Rasulov observed on the sidelines for a while and found that the game situation had stabilized, so he turned and walked back to the coach's bench, took the opportunity to drink, and chatted with the assistant coach.

"Then wait for time to pass." He walked to the coaching bench and said to the assistant coach.

The assistant coach nodded when he heard the words.

Rasulov stooped to pick up the bottle of mineral water, unscrewed the cap, and turned around while sending it to his mouth.

Then he heard a sudden burst of loud cheers.

When he turned around, he saw Chen Xingyi dribbling the ball into the penalty area from the wing. Behind him was Uzbekistan’s right back Ogud Tajibav. He was turning and chasing, but staggered. I almost couldn't maintain my balance, and looked very embarrassed!

"Chen Xingyi's breakthrough is so beautiful!!"

Chen Xingyi, who entered the penalty area, faced the Uzbekistan defensive player who came up to block him. He sent a pass and a flat ball went straight to the coming Hulai!

Although the central defender Hamrayev followed Hu Lai closely, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com Chen Xingyi also chose to pass the football to Hu Lai.

Because Hu Lai specifically said during the intermission, regardless of whether there are defensive players around him, as long as that is an opportunity, just pass the football to him. After all, he has played in the Premier League for almost a year. If he can't even fight against the opposing defender in an Asian level game, wouldn't he practice for nothing this year?

Chen Xingyi thinks so, can Uzbekistan's central defender be more difficult to deal with than the Premier League's central defender? So he passed without hesitation!

After the ball was passed, he saw Hu Lai point forward, using his body to block Hamraev, who was a head higher than himself, behind him, and his right arm was still entangled with the opponent's hand. The figure did not stagger, and the footsteps were vain.

He ran to the football spot vigorously, with his right foot firmly beside the ball, and his left foot towards the football!

It turned out to be a left foot shot!

The outer back of his left foot did not hit the football firmly, but cut to the football, so that the ball draws a slightly strange arc, just avoiding Hamrayev's outstretched foot, and also bypassing to the front Click to block his goalkeeper Abramov from the shooting angle!

Go straight to the back point!

Abramov didn't have time to reach out and save, he just leaned to the left, turned his head and watched the football rush into the goal!

Rasulov, who was still drinking water on the sidelines, spouted all the water in his mouth. He stared at everything in front of him in amazement, ignoring the clothes that were wet by the water.

"Hu Lai—beautiful! Beautiful! This is still a left-footed shot that he is not good at! The shot was tricky enough! Abramov did not react at all! We are leading the two goals!

He Feng raised his arms and shouted hoarse in the live commentary booth, but as soon as his voice was uttered, he was swallowed up by the huge cheers on the scene!
