Fox in the Penalty Area

Luo Kai's goal is actually a microcosm of the Chinese team's performance against Russia in the first half.

Just like the first game of the Chinese team, after the start of this game, the Chinese team did not look up like they would be beaten by Russia as everyone thought.

Although the characteristics of Russia do make the Chinese team a headache, every time they hit the Chinese team's penalty area, they make the fans fearful and dare not come out.

But the Chinese team is not useless.

"There are no underdogs in the absolute sense who can qualify for the World Cup" Chinese fans have heard many times recently, but they have almost overlooked one point...

That is, the Chinese team has also entered the World Cup. In the eyes of others, the Chinese team is actually not a "underdog."

Russia's advantage is physical strength, while the Chinese team wins in agility and speed.

Russia restrained the Chinese team. In turn, the characteristics of the Chinese team also restrained Russia.

Therefore, after the first half of the game, the Chinese team players ran without hesitation in accordance with the requirements of the pre-match guidance, and used more runs to cover their lack of physical confrontation, and used fast running to mobilize their opponents to avoid confrontation with each other. Many direct confrontations.

This style of play played a role in the first half-this goal is the most favorable proof.

After the game started, the Chinese team was not completely suppressed by Russia. Instead, they played back and forth with the opponent, and even faintly gained the upper hand in some cases...

Before Roquet scored, Hulai had a shot that threatened the Russian goal.

The same goes for Zhang Qinghuan's long shot.

So when Luo Kai's goal came, everyone was very happy, and there would never be such an idea that the Chinese team relies on **** luck to score.

We can indeed fight against Russia back and forth on the scene. The Russian offense makes us very worried, but our offense can also scare the Russians...this is the most amazing place!

It's more remarkable than scoring a Russian goal:

A mere goal may be based on luck, but the performance on the field can not deceive people, which can best reflect the overall quality of a team.

You can even say that-even if you lose the game in the end, as long as you can stay on the scene, the future of this team is worth looking forward to.

Hong Renjie sat on the chair of the coach's bench and looked at Shi Wuyin who was standing on the sidelines watching the game.

The boss's support for Shi Wuyin now seems to have been rewarded.

In fact, after the first World Cup match, the previous controversial voices disappeared.

Even if you don't consider what the remaining two games will look like, even if you lose in the end, you will be eliminated. It can also be regarded as a "glorious failure".

And now, through the match with Russia in less than half an hour, Shi Wuyin has really realized his idea of ​​"planting another group of trees for Chinese football in the next ten years".

They could have such a performance in the first World Cup. What reason do we have to worry about not entering the World Cup in four years?

Hong Renjie looked at Shi Wuyin's back in a daze.

He is already thinking how to convince Shi Wuyin to change his mind and continue to coach the national team-before this World Cup, Shi Wuyin has made it clear that he will not continue to coach the national team after leading the World Cup.

At that time, the leaders of the Football Association also agreed. After all, at that time, no one knew what Shi Wuyin could lead the team to achieve in the World Cup.

Now Hong Renjie believes that the leaders of the Football Association must also regret it and want to stay with Shi Wuyin. No matter what conditions he put forward this time, it is estimated that he will agree to it all at once.

After the Chinese team took the lead, the morale was greatly boosted, and they continued to deal with Russia on the court in accordance with the tactical arrangements made by the head coach, and even faintly gained the upper hand.

Luo Kai, who scored the goal, was very active and in great form.

If there is a visual icon, it is estimated that his state is already a red upward arrow at this time.

Soon he completed a long shot outside the penalty area.

Altyn fell to the ground and flopped sideways, only to touch the football instead of throwing out.

Hu Lai happened to be on the spot of football again.

In order to prevent him from shooting, two Russian central defenders joined forces: Pletnev leaned against Hulay and pushed him out. Kuzmin kicked the football out before Hu Lai.

After finishing the siege, Kuzmin collided with Pretnev and both fell to the ground.

Although they were not injured, they were still very embarrassed when they looked back on their backs in front of their house.

Russia is also trying to use long backfield passes to find Ivan Romanov to reverse this passive situation.

The Chinese team’s strategy is to let him go to the header as long as "Terror Ivan" is not in the penalty area. It does not necessarily have to compete with Romanov at the first point. The main energy is used to control the second drop point.

In this way, even if Romanov hits the ball, it is of no use. After all, when he gives the football to his teammates, he will still be cut off by the Chinese team players.

The defenders of the Chinese team are indeed very difficult to defend against Romanov, but they are not without a battle against other Russian players.

And when dealing with other Russian players, the Chinese team also guarantees that they have a partial numerical advantage-two people compete for the top, and one person is responsible for controlling the competing football.

This requires the entire team to maintain a compact formation and follow up in time.

There must never be a situation where the offensive can't come back and the backcourt is all empty.

All players must run and appear in every corner of the court.

Relying on this tireless running and desperate play, the Chinese team has withstood the Russian brutal attack.

Russian coach Mashaninov sat on the chair of the coaching bench, retracted his gaze towards the stadium, spread a small book in his hand on his lap, and lowered his head to write and draw on it with a pen.

Luo Kai's activity has sharply increased the pressure on the Russian defense.

Especially after they watched Hu Lai running towards the contact point and took away the two central defenders, but cleverly leaked the football behind them and gave Luo Kai, who was inside, a chance to shoot.

The Russian players are shaken...

We can't leave that number nine alone!

He has scored a goal! There is a great possibility of scoring another goal!

So when Zhang Qinghuan gave the football to Luo Kai, Kuzmin dropped Hu Lai and rushed towards Luo Kai in the side of the penalty area, trying to block him from shooting.

After Luo Kai made a shot this time, he buckled the football back and passed it to Hu Lai!

Hu Lai turned and ran backwards, got stuck in front of Pretnev when receiving the ball, and shot!

The football flew into Russia's goal!

But as soon as the cheers of the Chinese fans in front of the TV came out, they saw that Hu Lai in the camera did not celebrate, but spread his hands in the direction of the linesman.

The fans on the scene saw it more clearly-as Hulai scored a goal, they saw the linesman raising the flag in his hand.

Signal the ball for offside!

Hu Lai was very wronged: I will not be offside!

Before he ran, he specifically confirmed his position. Pletnev was behind him, so he would not be offside anyway.

The narrators He Feng and Yan Kang also questioned: "This ball is offside? Hulai is in front of Pretnev..."

The TV broadcast quickly gave a picture of the VAR video referee.

Hu Lai did not go offside, but when Zhang Qinghuan passed the football to Luo Kai, Luo Kai went offside...

The screen also uses two lines to mark the positions of the players on both sides. One line is the projection position of the last Russian defensive player, and the other line is the position of Luo Kai at the moment Zhang Qinghuan passes the ball.

It can be clearly seen from the screen that Luo Kai leaned forward and made a sprint gesture. Although his feet were dragged behind the line, his upper body head stuck out.

If this is a sprint race, then Luo Kai's probe movement makes him the first to hit the line, and he will win.

But this is a football game.

Because the head is the effective contact area, he is considered offside.

Luo Kai was offside, and after that he passed the ball to Hu Lai, Hu Lai hit the goal, naturally all the offense was invalid.

"Damn! It's just a few minutes away!"

"Ahhhhh!! The first time I hate video referees so much!"

"Return me 2:0!"

On the Internet and in front of TV sets, many Chinese fans wailed like this.

On the TV, the commentators He Feng and Yan Kang also felt sorry for the Chinese team's offside attack that led to the goal, but they still saw positive things from it.

"Although the ball is not counted. But the Chinese team has obviously been playing more and more smoothly, the Russian defense can only be exhausted... This is a good thing. Hold on, maintain this rhythm, continue to pressure Russia's penalty zone! Try to be able to play in the first half. Score one more goal before the end!"

At this time, what they were thinking of was not a draw, but a win.

I even thought about more and further things, such as qualifying from the group and reaching the knockout...

Although entering the knockout round is very likely to run into the French team that once beat them 4-0, but then it doesn't matter!

It is a pity that until the end of the first half, the Chinese team failed to score again.

Nonetheless, when the Chinese team players left the field, both the players and the fans in the stands all had a relaxed smile.

For this first half, everyone was very satisfied, and no one would criticize them for failing to expand their lead.

After all, before this game, not many people dared to think that the Chinese team could lead Russia.

Today's Russia certainly does not have the glory of reaching the European Cup semi-finals and World Cup semi-finals in two years, but the lean camel is bigger than the horse. The reputation of "Terror Ivan" has not faded.

This is a team with distinctive characteristics, and the characteristics of this team are what the Chinese team fears. In fact, in Asia, the Chinese team played against tough teams like Iran, Iraq, and Uzbekistan. It is often not cheap.

Russia is an upgraded version of these teams.

Almost naturally the nemesis of the Chinese team.

In this game, the Chinese team was still able to make use of the effortless running to make a five-to-five win against the opponent, and led by one goal at the end of the first half.

It would be unreasonable to be scolded for such a performance.

Amidst the cheers of the Chinese fans at the scene, the Chinese players walked into the tunnel talking and laughing, while the Russian players bowed their heads, looking very frustrated.

It seems that I still haven't figured out why I'm falling behind? Why doesn't your physical advantage play its due role?

The TV broadcast gave a close-up shot of the Chinese goalkeeper Luo Kai and the Russian captain Ivan Romanov.

The former naturally tells the audience ~www.novelmt.com~ this is the key figure who brought goals for the Chinese team in the first half.

The latter is a critical lens language, thinking that "Terror Ivan" in the first half was not terrifying and did not show his energy at all.

The expressions of the two people in the close-up are indeed completely different.

Luo Kai has a smile on his face.

Romanov's face was dark, making him look like a Russian black bear.

PS, today the third shift will be sent, and tomorrow the fifth shift will finish the game, ask for a monthly ticket! ! !

In addition, in the game tomorrow morning, I am optimistic that the Netherlands will eliminate the Czech Republic with one goal and Belgium will eliminate Portugal with two goals. Although I like Ronaldo very much, his European Cup trip with Portugal should be over here.

But looking at his state, I think he can fully expect him to participate in the World Cup in Qatar next year. At that time, he will also join Mateus and Mexican goalkeeper Antonio Cabayal to become the player with the most World Cup participation in five World Cups.
