Fox in the Penalty Area

When Russian midfielder Nikola Lucas took the ball from the wing, their right-back Peter Vlasov suddenly accelerated forward.

Originally, Chen Xingyi, who was defending Lucas with Xia Xiaoyu, saw Vlasov speeding up and realized that the opponent might have to seek cooperation.

Then quickly moved there.

At the same time, Lukas knocked the football into the space behind him with his heel, just passing it in front of Vlasov.

Chen Xingyi shoveled the football, trying to break the ball out of the sideline.

But Vlasov still stabbed the football with his toes first!

Chen Xingyi is empty!

Then Vlasov jumped up and flew past Chen Xingyi.

"Be careful!"

Vlasov, who caught up with the football, did not continue to bottom, but passed the football sideways to the center.

Center Ivan Romanov also did not wait for his teammates to pass in front of goal, he pulled out of the penalty area to catch the ball.

Wang Guangwei followed the top out, not allowing the opponent to deal with the ball calmly without being guarded.

He put his hands in front of him and pressed Romanov hard.

But the latter leaned back, motionless.

When the two were fighting, Jiang Wanqing came over and wanted to take the opportunity to steal the ball.

Romanov suddenly used his left foot to push the football to the left side of his body, then quickly turned around, first blocked Jiang Wanqing with a strong body, and then directly lifted his right foot... a vigorous volley!

The football roared past Wang Guangwei and flew towards the goal of the Chinese team!

Goalkeeper Lin Zhiyuan pounced sideways, fists together and hit the football!

After a loud noise, the football flew high... the sideline!

"Lin Zhiyuan made a wonderful save! Romanov's shot was so powerful that he didn't dare to take it hard, so he could only hit it with double punches... Even so, the football flew directly out of the bottom line, which shows that his kick How powerful is the shot!"

Lin Zhiyuan, who stood up from the ground, spread his hands to Romanov, with an understatement on his face.

But when he put down his hand, he could still feel the faint pain in the joints of his fingers-he didn't want to make the save just now so easy.

As we all know, "Terror Ivan" has two big kills: one is a header and the other is a long shot.

I won't talk about the header. Regarding his long shots, there has been a "record" of hitting the defender's head directly on the court, causing the opponent to fall into a coma. This shows how terrifying his shooting power is.

Relying on these two ultimate moves, the Russian football hero led the host to the quarterfinals in the 2018 Russia World Cup. In the 2020 European Cup, it helped Russia reach the semi-finals, which is the best result of Russian football in intercontinental competitions in the past 30 years.

At his peak, Romanov was almost unbeatable in the penalty area, and he could fully carry the opponent's central defender to complete the shot.

In the game, he also had a central defender fouled him, and he was knocked down to the ground in the "famous scene".

Ivan Romanov, facing the Chinese team, is actually far past his peak. As he grows older, his body is overwhelmed. In the last two seasons, due to frequent injuries, he has been in the Serie A giants due to frequent injuries. Can't hit the main force anymore.

But even so, it still makes the Chinese team feel terrible pressure from all over the team.

In fact, if this Russia is the one that reached the semi-finals of the European Cup six years ago, then the Chinese team will have nothing to fight back and there is no suspense that it will lose...

※※※

In this out-of-bounds kick, the Russian players chose to directly throw the out-of-bounds ball into the penalty area and took the out-of-bounds kick as a corner kick.

The person looking for is still... Ivan Romanov!

This time, Wang Guangwei took advantage of Yao Huasheng's chance to entangle Romanov and attacked the football first.

"Good job, Wang Guangwei! As a defensive player who directly faced Romanov in this game, he let Romanov miss a goal in the first half. He is 1.86 meters tall and Romanov is 1.97 meters tall. By comparison, he is eleven centimeters shorter, but with his excellent bounce and a more flexible body shape, he bridged the gap between himself and Romanov!"

Wang Guangwei's parents heard the commentator He Feng praise their son in front of the TV, but they couldn't laugh.

When Dad was staring nervously at the game on the TV screen, Mom collapsed on the sofa and just let out a breath.

For them, watching their son's game is not enjoyment, but suffering.

Although the objective conditions are there, even if the opponent scores the goal, there is no need to worry about national fans scolding their son.

But this does not mean that they are willing to accept the result of losing the ball.

Especially now that the Chinese team is leading. If their son can guard Romanov and prevent him from scoring, wouldn't he be a great contributor to the Chinese team's win?

After having this kind of thought, the couple watched this game very nervously.

After defending the attack, the Chinese team tried to fight back quickly.

However, Chen Xingyi, who caught the ball on the side, forced to overtake Vlasov by speed to get rid of the Russian right-back Vlasov, but was stuck in the position by the opponent. Instead of raising his speed, he lost the ball instead.

Hu Lai and Zhang Qinghuan, who were just about to press up, had to retreat quickly to participate in the defense.

"Oh... the Chinese team is a bit anxious about this counterattack! Chen Xingyi's breakthrough is actually not a very good opportunity. He can completely take control of the ball and then slow down, waiting for his teammates to come up to meet him..."

Fortunately, after loosing the ball, Chen Xingyi actively chased and entangled the opponent, but eventually broke the football out of the sideline, and did not allow Russia to fight back.

After getting up, Chen Xingyi gestured to his teammates to apologize.

He also knew that he was anxious, but he didn't think so much at the time, so he wanted to quickly hit the football to the front of the opponent's penalty area and try to keep the football away from the Chinese team's penalty area.

Besides, didn't the coaching say that you want to grab the start?

Of course, it is necessary to speed up as much as possible.

He just didn't expect the opposing right back to have guessed his intentions a long time ago, waiting for him to bump into him in the most suitable position...

Shi Wuyin frowned even more on the sidelines.

He found that the Russian players were not very panicked, facing the Chinese team, they seemed more calm.

It was completely different from the performance just after losing the ball in the first half.

So he glanced at the Russian coaching bench next door.

Obviously, Mashaninov knows that the basis of the Chinese team's style of play is physical fitness, and that the physical fitness of the Chinese team will go wrong.

He glanced at the game time, the 54th minute of the game.

The second half just started ten minutes.

Wait, wait...

Shi Wuyin thought silently in his heart.

It’s too early to change, wait, maybe we still have something to gain?

The Chinese team quickly got another chance to attack, Xia Xiaoyu passed the football to Zhang Qinghuan, and Brother Huan organized the attack.

Almost at the same time Zhang Qinghuan received the ball, Russian defensive midfielder Irving Botaka posted, trying to break his ball.

Zhang Qinghuan's upper body flickered, as he turned from the left, but suddenly turned to the right.

"Pretty!"

Before He Feng's cheering voice fell, he saw Botaka, who was about to be passed, slammed into it.

Turning around, Zhang Qinghuan was hit and staggered and lost his balance.

But even with the hands supporting the ground and trying to maintain the center of gravity, Zhang Qinghuan's feet still hooked the football back, not allowing Botaka to **** it.

However, the other side's defense also made him lose the opportunity to move forward.

He could only turn around again to protect the football, while opening his arms to block Botaka, the first black international in the history of Russian football behind him.

"Brother Huan!"

Zhang Qinghuan, who was struggling with the black and hard, heard Xia Xiaoyu's voice and passed the football back.

Xia Xiaoyu faced the offensive direction and seemed to be able to directly attack.

But when he raised his foot and was about to kick into the football, he heard Jiang Wanqing shouting next to him: "Here is someone!"

He temporarily changed his mind. He kicked out with his right foot and didn't hit the football. Instead, he pulled the football back, knocked behind him, and then turned around.

Passed by Lucas who rushed up from behind!

"Xia Xiaoyu! Smart!"

Although he avoided Luke's push, he turned his back to the attacking direction.

The Russian players all returned to their positions.

Zhang Qinghuan also ran back to meet Xia Xiaoyu.

Chen Xingyi and Luo Kai, who had already made sprint preparations on the two sides, could only withdraw.

The Chinese team's attempt to use speed to advance the attack to the 30-meter area of ​​Russia failed.

This stems from the Russian players' pressing against the Chinese players with the ball in the midfield.

"The Russian team has stepped up its press in the midfield, which has brought difficulties for the Chinese team to play..." Yan Kang saw it. "The Chinese team's midfielder relies on Xia Xiaoyu and Zhang Qinghuan to organize the attack. They focused on defense against the two, especially Zhang Qinghuan who is more advanced, forcing him to take the ball calmly. And this is not in the first half..."

"Yes." He Feng continued. "In fact, Zhang Qinghuan was able to protect the football under such a pressure, and did not lose the ball~www.novelmt.com~ The performance is already excellent. I think that when Hu was at halftime, the Russian coach Masaninov would definitely do it. There have been targeted adjustments..."

Shi Wuyin turned his head and glanced at the coaching bench of the Russian team. Their head coach was sitting on the coaching bench with a pen in his hand and a small notebook on his lap. He raised his head and stared at the stadium intently, ready to write on the notebook. What to order.

This is the head coach who led the Russian national team to the quarter-finals of the World Cup and the quarter-finals of the European Cup...

From taking office in 2016, it has been exactly ten years to this year.

There are very few head coaches who have been able to coach the national team for ten years. There are only two brushes.

He knows that the physical fitness of the Chinese team is the most terrible, so he asked the players to strengthen this pressing, forcing the Chinese team players to physically confront the Russian players, and accelerate the physical consumption.

He wants the physical collapse of the Chinese team to come sooner!
