When Luo Kai stole the ball and the Chinese team counterattacked, the commentator of the Dutch TV station was relatively calm. Although he shouted: "The Chinese team counterattacks!"
But his tone was not alarming.
In his opinion, although the Chinese team's counterattack is fast, it may not pose a threat.
This is indeed the case.
Because the two sides of the Chinese team are fast, but the speed in the middle cannot keep up.
After Hu Lai retreated to respond, he had to run up again. With his speed, it would inevitably slow down the Chinese team's counterattack.
In addition, Zhou Zijing, who had just retreated to defend deeper, did not even have time to participate in the counterattack this time - when Luo Kai stole the ball, he was still in front of the Chinese team's penalty area.
It means that the Chinese team does not have many people who can engage in counterattack this time, and the response points are limited, so it is relatively easy to defend.
Although the Dutch team encountered a counterattack from the opponent, they responded well and did not panic. They were calm and composed.
When the football was passed to Zhang Qinghuan's feet, the Dutch team's defense was quite intact.
In the end, only Hu Lai and Luo Kai were able to connect in the penalty area.
At that time, the Dutch team already had five people in the penalty area.
Not counting Chen Xingyi's right back William Kolarenz, who is guarding Chen Xingyi head-on, is it still impossible to guard two of the remaining four players?
result……
Really unprepared!
Who would have thought?
Who would have thought that Hu Lai would hit the football in that way?
When the Dutch commentator saw Hulay leaning forward and lifting his left leg from behind, his eyes widened and he even forgot to make a sound.
So those Dutch fans who could not go to the scene and could only watch the game at home listened to the original sound and witnessed Hulay's wonderful goal...
Some of them exclaimed, some sighed, and some were silent.
The commentators from other countries in the commentary box were not only not silent, but also very excited:
"Hu Lai! Hu Lai!! Oh, beautiful! So beautiful! Hu Lai's ball... the dragon is wagging its tail! The dragon is waving its tail! It's incredible!"
"The Chinese team equalized the score! In the 83rd minute of the game, the tenacious Chinese team equalized the score! Incredible moment!"
"This goal is so imaginative! An incredible goal! This goal can even be rated as the best goal of this World Cup... Oh no, please forgive me, the best goal has to be the one scored by Hu Zhongquan.
One... What a pity. This goal will probably be the best goal in all previous World Cups! Hu is simply a walking wave-making machine in the world!"
"HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU——!!! World Wave!! World Wave! Amazing World Wave!! So wonderful! So beautiful!"
There was great joy in the commentary box, as well as in the stands where Chinese fans gathered.
"Long live!! Long live Hu Lai!"
"The Chinese team is awesome!! Hu Lai is awesome!"
Everyone shouted and hugged each other.
After the Dutch team scored in the 75th minute, an atmosphere of despair spread in the stands where the Chinese fans were sitting.
Many people feel that conceding the ball at this time is equivalent to a death sentence for the Chinese team...
Unexpectedly, a counterattack actually pulled the Chinese team back from the edge of the cliff!
Li Qingqing and Xie Lan hugged each other - this is normal.
But even Li Ziqiang and Hu Lixin, two great men, were hugging each other to celebrate at this moment...
In front of the TV, even more people embraced and celebrated.
Chu Yifan hugged Tang Xiuyuan, Yan Yan hugged Jiang Yin, Meng Xi hugged Mao Xiao, Chen Rui hugged Zhong Shihao...
They hugged, cheered, screamed and laughed.
"Oh my God! This ball is awesome!"
"Hu Lai is so awesome!"
"Mr. World Wave!"
※※※
After scoring, Hulay lost his balance and fell completely to the ground.
But even when he was lying on the ground, he raised his head and looked at the goal to confirm the result of his kick.
In fact, when he made this move, he didn't know whether the football could fly into the goal. This was completely subconscious and he didn't want to give up this opportunity.
He doesn't even know if he can touch the ball...
As a result, he was very lucky. Not only did he touch the ball, he also kicked the football into the goal!
After getting up, Hu Lai ran to the corner flag area as usual, but this time while running, he raised his wrist and kissed the red bracelet on it.
He knew that his good luck must be due to this lucky bracelet!
However, in the eyes of outsiders, his behavior had a different meaning.
"Wow! It's so sweet!" Han Shuyu screamed excitedly, "It's so sweet! It's so sweet! It's so sweet that I'm going to have diabetes!"
Li Qingliang, who was next to him, heard her say this and said, "Just say your blood sugar is high! You don't have to say it so bluntly..."
※※※
After Hu Lai fell from the sky and made his signature celebration, other players of the Chinese team also ran up to hug him.
Then they took advantage of the situation and held a "battlefield mobilization meeting."
"Including injury time, there are still ten minutes left before the end of the game. We can still score another goal against them!" Zhang Qinghuan said, breathing heavily.
"That's right! We won't play overtime with them! If we can beat them in ninety minutes, it's only in ninety minutes!" Xia Xiaoyu agreed, "Now that they have been equalized, their morale and confidence will definitely be affected. As long as we can
Keep the pressure on them and their defense will make mistakes, and this is our chance! So don’t slow down!”
Everyone agreed.
Generally speaking, goals are more likely to occur in this situation.
Hu Lai also said: "No matter how hard you work, no matter how tired you are, you can grit your teeth and persevere at this time. When you win the game, you can take any rest you want!"
※※※
"marvelous!"
In the stands, the Chinese team staff who could not sit on the coaching bench or on the bench cheered when they saw Hu Lai's goal.
Everyone had an excited smile on their face.
Wang Guangwei was also high-fiving and hugging them in celebration.
After the celebration was over, they said excitedly: "Now I feel at ease. At least I won't be eliminated immediately, and there is still a chance for overtime!"
"That's right. After equalizing the score, you can breathe a sigh of relief. If you stabilize your defense first, you can drag the game into overtime..."
Upon hearing this, Wang Guangwei shook his head and retorted: "No, it will not be dragged into overtime."
"Ah?" Everyone else looked at him in surprise.
Wang Guangwei further said: "I mean, they don't want to play overtime."
The people next to him suddenly realized: "That's true... We don't have the energy to play overtime now..."
Wang Guangwei shook his head gently: "It has nothing to do with physical strength, it's just that I'm not willing to settle for a draw like this."
The staff looked at him, a little unable to understand what Wang Guangwei said.
Wouldn't it be nice to have a tie?
It's not a bad idea to keep the game tied until the penalty shootout.
Maybe even our tactics were originally designed this way. With a remnant formation, there is still a gap in strength. It is not easy to draw with the Dutch team...
Wang Guangwei could feel the doubtful eyes of the people around him, but he did not continue to explain.
Some things really cannot be explained clearly in a few words.
He chose to continue watching the game in silence.
He cast his eyes on the court and tightly grasped the railing in front of him with both hands.
※※※
The game has resumed, and the Dutch team did not panic after losing the ball, or in other words, it was not as panicked as the Chinese fans hoped.
After all, they just went from leading to being equalized.
Rather than going from being equalized to falling behind.
Even if this game is dragged into overtime, the Dutch team is definitely more confident than the Chinese team.
After all, the integrity of their lineup is higher.
Therefore, after the kick-off, the Dutch team did not rush to attack, but played steadily and passed the ball to each other.
They planned to take advantage of the Chinese team's attack to lure them out, and then hit them from behind.
They successfully pulled the Chinese team out.
Facing the Dutch team's passing in the midfield and backcourt, every player on the Chinese team was like a mad dog, running tirelessly to chase the ball.
At this time, their formation was actually somewhat deformed and could no longer be maintained.
Logically speaking, the next step should be for the Dutch team to seize the Chinese team's weaknesses and counterattack.
The Dutch team indeed plans to do this.
But when Robin Feeney was about to pass the football forward, Luo Kai came up and bumped into him hard, disturbing him.
After his ball was passed out, it was blocked by Ou Yangjin.
The football hit Ou Yangjin's body and flew towards the center.
There Maxi Carey and Xia Xiaoyu competed at the same time.
Xia Xiaoyu directly put down the shovel.
Facing Xia Xiaoyu who fought so fiercely, Kaili did not dare to confront him head-on. After all, he had been seriously injured...
So he chose to hide.
Xia Xiaoyu scooped up the football, quickly got up from the ground, and passed the ball to Zhou Zijing.
Zhou Zijing used his physical advantage in the frontcourt to resist Dutch center back Dean Luck and then transferred the football to Chen Xingyi!
The Chinese fans in the stands cheered deafeningly, while the Dutch fans booed and screamed.
The players of the Dutch team quickly retreated amidst the cheers and screams.
I originally wanted to sneak attack the Chinese team, but I didn't expect that I was attacked by the Chinese team instead!
The Dutch players, who had been calm and composed for a while, were also a little panicked...
Chinese commentator He Feng in the commentary box shouted excitedly: "Chen Xingyi! Opportunity!"
While Chen Xingyi took the ball, Hu Lai ran forward with Danny Drew and opened up the space in the middle.
Luo Kai chose to cut in from the side to the middle.
That is, while he was cutting inside, Chen Xingyi passed the ball!
Roquet collided hard with Dutch left-back Willem Kolarentz.
Despite this, Luo Kai still hit the ball!
He pushed the football towards the goal!
Dutch goalkeeper Toné Schulmann jumped into the air and saved the football from the bottom line with one palm!
"Schulman!!" the Dutch commentator shouted excitedly, "He made a wonderful save! Stopped an attack by the Chinese team!"
Although He Feng sighed with regret, he immediately raised his voice and shouted in an exciting tone: "Well done, Chinese team! Just play like this! The game is not over yet!!"
