I am the Coach of the National Youth Team

Just when everyone thought that the first half of the game would end with a score of 2-0, but at the end of the first half, an accident happened suddenly.

Sonora took the ball and launched an attack on the left. Sonora found that Yang Fan, the right back of the Huaxia team, may have lost his concentration because he felt that the first half of the game was coming to an end.

Sonora had an idea, and raised his right foot towards the football. The football hit Yang Fan's hand.

Seeing the football hit Yang Fan's hand, Sonora quickly looked at the referee, then made an exaggerated expression, and hit her left arm with her right hand, signaling that Yang Fan had handballed.

The referee's whistle blew immediately, and Yang Fan quickly protested to the referee. He felt that the referee should not award a handball.

Soon Zhao Wenchao and Chi Ruofei both surrounded the referee and protested to the referee. They thought the handball was too harsh.

But the referee did not change the verdict, and finally the U.S. National Youth Team won a penalty. Li Long protested angrily on the sidelines. Li Long could see that Sonora deliberately made a point, but there was no way.

"Ah! The referee gave the US team a penalty kick." Shao Shengyi explained.

"Let's take a look at slow motion, ah! Although Yang Fan stopped, the ball is indeed a handball."

"Hey! This is too careless. This penalty is undoubtedly good news for the US team."

Sonora came to the penalty spot, and the goalkeeper Ding Zheng was bouncing back and forth. Sonora looked at the football, then at Ding Zheng, with a very serious face. He knew how important his penalty kick was.

If you make it to the second half, you still have a chance, but if you fail to make it, it will further damage the morale of the team.

After Sonora received the signal from the referee, Sonora started a run-up, and then kicked the football with his right foot. At this time, Ding Zheng could only trust his instinct and rushed to the lower left corner of the goal.

But he was in despair when he was in the air, because he saw the football slowly flying towards the middle of the goal in a parabola.

Spoon Penalty!

Not only Ding Zheng, but even Li Long did not expect that Sonora would boldly take such a crucial penalty.

The football flew into the goal like this, and the US National Youth Team scored a goal 1-2!

"Spoon Penalty! U.S. National Youth Team Gets It Back!"

"This goal made this game full of suspense once again."

Li Long frowned when he saw Sonora scored a penalty kick. Li Long knew that the penalty kick was scored, and it was definitely not as simple as the opponent pulling back a goal.

This goal will definitely give the US team hope, and the second half of the game will definitely be more difficult than the first half.

And this penalty is a spoon penalty, which will definitely affect Ding Zheng's mentality. Even an experienced goalkeeper may change his mentality, let alone Ding Zheng, a young goalkeeper.

And at this time, Ding Zheng cannot be replaced, because it will affect his career. At this time, he can only rely on himself.

With the occurrence of this goal, the first half of the game ended quickly. In the end, the Huaxia National Youth Team temporarily took the lead with a score of 2 to 1, and the two sides returned to the locker room.

After returning to the locker room, Li Long saw that many players lowered their heads. They were all demoralized by the penalty kick, especially right back Yang Fan and goalkeeper Ding Zheng.

"Why are you keeping your head down? Are we behind?" Li Long looked at the players and said dissatisfied.

"What's wrong? Is it just throwing a ball?"

"We scored two goals in open games, but the US team scored a penalty kick, so there is nothing to lose!"

Hearing Li Long's words, many players looked at him seriously.

"We have an advantage in set-pieces and positional battles. It's just a lot of luck that allowed the opponent to get a penalty. Shouldn't they be the ones who are worried?"

"You have performed very well. Believe me, if you want to maintain this state, we must win in the end!" Li Long said firmly.

"How we played in the first half, how we played in the second half!"

"I'm sorry, coach! If it wasn't for me, I wouldn't have given the US team a penalty." Yang Fan stood up and lowered his head, like a child who made a mistake, apologizing in disappointment.

"It doesn't matter! The ball was obviously made for a point, so there is no need to take it to heart, but you must concentrate in the second half of the game. I don't want to see you not focusing in the second half of the game."

Hearing Li Long's answer, Yang Fan nodded seriously.

"Ding Zheng! You haven't seen a spoon penalty kick in the Chinese Premier League!" Li Long looked at Ding Zheng and said with a smile.

Hearing Li Long's words, Ding Zheng nodded with a wry smile. It was indeed the first time he encountered a spoon penalty.

Originally, he was really hit, but Li Long's joking tone made Ding Zheng recover a little bit, and his mentality calmed down a lot.

Li Long looked at the players again, and it was obvious that morale had recovered.

"But this penalty will indeed give the US team hope, so the US team's offensive in the second half of the game will definitely be stronger."

"So you must concentrate on the defensive end. In fact, you did a good job in the first half. Continue to maintain the defense in the first half."

It is true that there is no problem tactically. Except for the penalty kick in the first half, the Huaxia team was the dominant side.

"In the second half, in addition to paying attention to defense, the offensive end must not be slack. They will definitely press forward when they fall behind. If they can take advantage of this opportunity and score another goal, then this game will be completely over."

The 15-minute break ended quickly, and all the players from both sides returned to the court. It can be seen that the players on both sides are full of fighting spirit.

"The second half of the game has begun. The current score is 2 to 1, and the Huaxia National Youth Team leads by 1 goal."

"The Huaxia National Youth Team didn't make any adjustments. Instead, the US National Youth Team replaced forward Tal, who didn't have a lot of shots in the first half, and replaced him with Brand Jamison, who wore the No. 11 jersey."

Li Long checked this Brand Jamison through the scouting system, and roughly understood the characteristics of this player.

Brand Jamison has a height of 1.91 meters, and his speed is not slow, with a speed of 84 points, he is a forward with a streamlined body.

His shooting ability is average. Although he is tall, his header can only be regarded as so-so. What is rare is that Brand Jamison's dribbling ability is not bad. Li Long has never seen such a style of striker.

If you have to compare it, Brand Jamison is a bit like Tian Runtao with a low-profile version, and his current ability is only 62 points.

Although Brand Jamison's ability is not high, his functionality is good, which is a point that needs attention. Li Long believes that the team's defense will never let Brand Jamison cause trouble.
