"...If after the start of the second half, Argentina still uses their high-pressure tactics from the first half, then we will fight their counterattack. When attacking, pass the ball decisively and don't be afraid of losing the ball. You have to think like this -
Even if we give them the ball, it's better than letting them press in our half..."
This is the arrangement Qin Lin made for the players during the halftime break.
They all ask the players to pass forward more, which seems to be the same as the adjustment in the first half.
It is inevitable that people will wonder: After failing in the first half, if they continue to do this in the second half, can they score the Argentine goal?
But actually there is a big difference between the first and second halves.
Because there was an extra Zhang Qinghuan in the second half, the Chinese team had more players capable of delivering precise through balls.
The diagonal pass that Zhang Qinghuan passed to Chen Xingyi just now was due to Qin Lin's adjustment during the halftime break.
He encouraged the players to take risks, one moment at a time, the situation in the second half will be different from the first half, and not to be timid because they are worried that the team will repeat the same mistakes as the first half.
※※※
The free kick won by Chen Xingyi for the Chinese team was just past the center line, very close to the sideline, and far away from the goal.
Therefore, Xia Xiaoyu, who was responsible for taking the free kick, did not pass the football directly into Argentina's penalty area - in that case, the Chinese team's center back would have to come up to participate in the fight for the top, which would leave the defense empty.
Once the football falls to the Argentinian players, it will directly threaten the Chinese team's goal.
For this reason, Xia Xiaoyu passed the free kick back to central defender Wang Guangwei.
Seeing Wang Guangwei receiving the ball, Cantero rushed over and continued to press.
Wang Guangwei passed the ball to Ou Yangjin.
Ou Yangjin also faced the problem of being pressed by Argentine players.
He quickly passed the ball to Zhang Qinghuan.
After the football arrived at Zhang Qinghuan's feet, it was not immediately passed around.
After being approached by Morero, he used the outside instep of his left foot to move the football to the outside and at the same time blocked Morero with his body.
Morello was unable to steal the ball from his feet for a moment.
But it doesn't matter, teammates will soon come to help.
Argentina's pressing is definitely not a simple one-on-one, but a numerical advantage in local areas through running without hesitation.
Morello did not intercept the ball from Zhang Qinghuan, but wrapped him around with his hands and feet, creating an opportunity for Dino Sosa to attack.
Sosa came from the side and stretched out his foot to steal the ball.
After Zhang Qinghuan attracted Sosa, he immediately passed the football with the outside of his left foot.
The person he was looking for was Xia Xiaoyu, who was very close to him.
After passing the ball, he immediately stepped out of the encirclement, opened an angle with Xia Xiaoyu, and at the same time made gestures to let Xia Xiaoyu pass the ball.
Xia Xiaoyu also faced pressing pressure from Argentinian players. After passing the ball to Zhang Qinghuan, he stopped moving without the ball.
Morello went to attack Zhang Qinghuan, and Zhang Qinghuan passed the ball to Xia Xiaoyu who was advancing forward.
The two of them just passed it to me and I passed it to you, picking the football out from the surroundings of three Argentine players.
Finally, Xia Xiaoyu passed the football to Zhou Zijing, who was pulled from the middle to the ribs.
With his back facing the direction of the attack, Zhou Zijing used his body to resist Argentine center back Rojas and passed the ball to Luo Kai, who was cutting in from the wing.
At this time, the Chinese team has advanced the attack to the thirty-meter area of Argentina.
Luo Kai faced the rolling football and raised his left leg, as if he was going to hit the goal again.
But in the end, he picked up the football and passed it behind the Argentine defense!
"Pass later!"
Argentinian center back Peralta stepped back continuously, then jumped up hard and rubbed the flying football back out of the baseline!
And just behind him, Hu Lai was already ready to shoot...
"What a risk! Peralta! He was very focused and made a very beautiful rescue!" The Argentine commentator covered his racing heart with one hand and praised loudly at the same time.
When he saw Hu Lai going backwards, he was really worried that the ball would cause Hu Lai to shoot...
Fortunately, Peralta jumped up and hit the ball without falling off his head!
Hu Lai, who had no chance to shoot, turned around and gave a thumbs up to Luo Kai who passed the ball to him.
"Oops! Luo Kai passed the ball very beautifully, but Peralta was very focused when defending... What a pity!" He Feng put his head in his hands and shouted regretfully.
Li Qingqing comforted him, and he was also comforting the Chinese fans in front of the TV: "The Chinese team's offensive has been able to effectively threaten the Argentine goal! If we keep playing like this, there will be hope! Argentina's defense cannot always pay attention.
Concentrate!"
He Feng quickly adjusted his mentality and agreed with Li Qingqing's view: "Indeed. Hu Lai's playing style is like that of an assassin. No one knows when he will suddenly appear from the shadows and deliver a fatal blow... I think
As long as the Chinese team can continue to create such opportunities, Argentina's defense will definitely collapse! The Chinese team created too few offensive opportunities in the first half..."
※※※
Xia Xiaoyu's corner kick was tipped over the crossbar by Qin Qi and failed to threaten Argentina's goal.
Argentina wins a goal kick.
The Chinese team is different from Argentina. They did not launch a high-level press in Argentina's half. Instead, they retreated normally and set up a posture in the midfield and backcourt to deal with Argentina's attack.
Therefore, Argentina's attack went smoothly until it advanced past the center line.
When Dino Sosa picked up the ball in the center circle, Hulay blocked him.
Sosa, who is not good at passing people, did not try to get past Hulay, even though Hulay was not good at defense.
Sosa passed the football to Morello in front.
However, the pass was a little big, so Morello had to take a few more steps to speed up and catch up.
At the same time, Xia Xiaoyu was also rushing towards the football.
The two collided, and Morello kicked the ball forward first.
Passed to Cantero who retreated from the center to receive!
Cantero took the ball, followed by Wang Guangwei.
He didn't play the ball immediately, but glanced to the right, waiting for Melli.
Meili started to move forward, followed by Chen Xingyi.
But Cantero was too busy observing Merry and ignored the danger coming from the other side!
"Ou Yangjin! Good shot! Good shot!"
Ou Yangjin suddenly came over, forced Cantero and the football away, and intercepted the ball!
Chen Xingyi, who was originally following Meili while turning around to look in the middle, immediately stopped suddenly when he saw this, left Meili alone, turned around and ran forward!
After Ou Yangjin stole the ball, because his back was facing the direction of the attack, he chose the safest way to handle it - passing the ball back to goalkeeper Lin Zhiyuan.
Farias followed the football and rushed towards Lin Zhiyuan.
Lin Zhiyuan kicked the football forward with a long pass.
Farias jumped up, but still couldn't block the football.
The ball flies to the center line.
Hulay ran towards the landing point with Dino Sousa, then he suddenly stopped and turned around!
In this way, the Argentine midfielder was blocked behind him.
Then he jumped up and pushed the flying football back to Xia Xiaoyu who was pushing forward.
Xia Xiaoyu began to adjust his steps before catching the ball, and at the same time looked up to observe the situation in front.
He saw Chen Xingyi sprinting.
So he passed the football forward without stopping!
The football passed through the air over the Argentine players below and flew towards Argentina's backcourt!
Chen Xingyi gritted his teeth and accelerated!
He chases the wind...no, he is the wind!
“The Chinese team’s counterattack!”
"Chance!!"
"Chen Xingyi!!"
There was a lot of shouting and yelling in the commentary box.
Deafening cheers rang out over the Workers' Stadium:
"Come on!"
"Chen Xingyi! Chen Xingyi! Go, go, go!"
“Come on Team China!!”
"OK--!"
Argentinian right back Pablo Osqui is struggling to catch up with Chen Xingyi who has rushed to the front!
However, Osqui, who is fierce in defense, is not good at speed. Even if he wanted to knock Chen Xingyi down with rough moves at this time, he couldn't do it because he couldn't catch up at all!
Argentina's center back Rojas strode toward Chen Xingyi from the middle. He was the only Argentine player besides goalkeeper Penalva who had any hope of stopping Chen Xingyi...
The Chinese team's counterattack was like a rushing torrent, roaring and trying to cut through the mountains and rush into the great plain separated by the mountains.
Chen Hantang and his wife Zhuang Jianhong stood up from their seats and leaned forward slightly in the stands.
Chen Hantang was a little nervous, his body was shaking slightly, his hands were clenched into fists, and he couldn't say a word.
And his wife Zhuang Jianhong was raising her arms and shouting: "Run! Son! Run forward——!!"
Without any warning, the Chinese team's best chance in this game just appeared!
※※※
Chen Xingyi ran hard, but his speed did not slow down until he caught up with the football.
He used the outside instep of his left foot to push the football forward, but he could not push it too hard, otherwise he would lose control of the football.
But you can't get too close to your body, otherwise Roxas will get stuck on you and you will completely lose the opportunity to stand alone.
At the same time, in the middle, Zhou Zijing and Hu Lai were both rushing forward at high speed. Among them, Zhou Zijing was the fastest and was only seven or eight meters behind him.
However, Zhou Zijing was followed by Peralta, and Peralta always used his body to block Zhou Zijing behind him, preventing him from having a chance to catch the ball.
"Chen Xingyi dribbles the ball!"
After two consecutive passes, Chen Xingyi finally entered the penalty area!
But at the same time Roxas also caught up!
Argentina goalkeeper Penalva, who was originally preparing to attack, saw Rojas catching up with Chen Xingyi, so he just stopped at the near corner to block Chen Xingyi's possible shooting angle.
Chen Xingyi took another step forward, shortening the distance between him and goalkeeper Penalva, but also narrowing the angle of his own shot...
Is he going to pass the ball?!
Zhou Zijing, who was following up from the middle, immediately stopped when he saw this and wanted to retreat to receive Chen Xingyi's cross.
It was at this time that Roxas couldn't help but stretched out his hand to hold Chen Xingyi's arm, and then... forcefully!
Although he immediately let go of his hand, Chen Xingyi was already pulled back by him and lost his center of gravity!
"Eh!?"
He Feng shouted excitedly. In his opinion, Rojas committed a foul in the penalty area, and the referee should award a penalty kick!
After Rojas pulled Chen Xingyi, he immediately raised his hands and told the referee that he had no movement with his hands and it was Chen Xingyi who dived...
He has given up defense.
But Chen Xingyi did not give up the attack!
Just as he lost his balance and fell backward, his right foot picked up the football!
Then the ball flew over the shoulder of Penalva, who was half kneeling!
Penalva waved his arm upwards reflexively, but he didn't touch anything!
He turned around and could only watch the football draw a parabola and fall into the empty goal behind him!
The continuous cheers and cheers that resounded throughout the audience before converged at this moment, forming a storm of cheers!
"Eh? Hey! Chen Xingyi! Chen Xingyi! Ha! Chen Xingyi scored! The Chinese team got a goal back!!" He Feng in the commentary box almost jumped out of his seat with excitement.
