Algeria launched an attack from the wing, and after passing the ball to the goal, Devno headed the ball ahead of Yao Huasheng!
Lin Zhiyuan stood in an excellent position, without moving any further, but directly took the football that Devno pushed into his arms.
Then, instead of lying on the ground to delay time, he took advantage of the situation and rushed forward, bypassing the two Algerian forwards, Devno and Odé, and directly threw the ball to launch a counterattack: "Xiaoyu!!"
He threw the football to Xia Xiaoyu!
Before Xia Xiaoyu caught the ball, he turned his head left and right to observe. Just like the lidar of a driverless car, he scanned the environment around him and built a 3D model in his mind to restore the scene.
He knew there was an opening behind him that could be exploited.
So he pushed the football directly back to Jiang Wanqing with his head.
After pushing, he immediately turned around and ran towards the empty space behind him.
Jiang Wanqing also knowingly did not stop the ball, but directly passed the football to the front of his running position. Hadgaoui came up and missed it...
Lou Jiarong first retreated and ran towards Xia Xiaoyu, seemingly to meet him. But after leading Sateri, he suddenly turned around and ran back behind him.
Sateri had to be pulled back.
So there was a space in front of Xia Xiaoyu with a radius of about six to seven meters without anyone interfering with it.
Xia Xiaoyu did not continue to dribble the ball forward. After Satelli was taken away by Lou Jiarong, he directly kicked off and kicked the football to the right from behind the center circle!
A long pass that reached more than 30 meters!
"Xia Xiaoyu made a long pass...beautiful——!"
The football rolled quickly on the turf, unabated, and hit behind the Algerian defense.
There Luo Kai accelerated from the ribs and chased the football!
Algeria's left back Ahmed Jassimi was also struggling to catch up, but he reacted slowly just now. He didn't expect the Chinese team's midfielder to be able to send a precise long pass so decisively... He had already been left behind by Luo Kai.
Behind me!
Fortunately, there is also center back Benjamin Sadri on the back line. He is stuck in the back and does not let Luo Kai go to the center, but drives him to the baseline.
Luo Kai made a decisive pass, Chen Xingyi pressed from the side to the center, and Hu Lai once again moved to take Mousavi away.
This ball was neither for Hu Lai nor Chen Xingyi, but for Lou Jiarong who came in from behind in the middle!
He volleyed the ball without stopping!
Taller!
"Alas! What a pity Lou Jiarong didn't seize this opportunity!"
"But the Chinese team's offensive has already started. Even if Algeria plays defensive counterattack, we can also counterattack them! This time we took advantage of their counterattack opportunity. Xia Xiaoyu sent a subtle long pass in time and directly penetrated
Algeria's defense line was broken! During this period, our offensive started again!"
※※※
Houlay watched the football fly high to the area behind the Algeria goal without expressing his inner regret.
Then he turned around and saw Mousavi who was still following him, and he laughed: "Oh, brother, are your heart pounding and anxious now? You are lucky this time, but let me tell you,
You won’t have such a good chance next time. You just follow me and run until the middle gate is wide open. Do you think all my teammates are vegetarians?”
Mousavi retracted his gaze towards the back of the goal and snorted at Hulay: "Don't think that you can let me throw you down. Our head coach said that even if you go to drink water, you must follow me."
you!"
Hu Lai was shocked: "Did you not come with me when I was drinking water just now?"
Mousavi realized that he had let slip, and he did not want to continue chatting with Hu Lai: "Don't waste your breath, Hu. I will keep an eye on you."
Hu Lai chuckled: "Don't make a mistake, brother, do you think that following me all the time will prevent me from scoring?"
After saying that, he turned around and ran away, leaving Mousavi, who originally wanted to say something in reply, to say something, but he didn't say it out loud and just kept it in his throat...
※※※
After being beaten continuously by the Chinese team, Algeria completely recovered in the second half. Anyway, there are only ten minutes left in the game, and they still lead by one goal.
As long as they can hold on for the next ten minutes, they will be able to win the first World Cup victory in Algeria's football history.
Algeria gave up the midfield and retreated to the 30-meter area, while the Chinese team pressed forward and started a positional battle.
At the same time, they have to be careful about being counterattacked by the opponent.
Both Devno and Hadgaoui have speed.
Therefore, the two midfielders Xia Xiaoyu and Jiang Wanqing cannot press at the same time.
Jiang Wanqing shouted to Xia Xiaoyu: "It's okay, just go up when you should, I will definitely protect you from behind!"
Xia Xiaoyu nodded.
The football has been passed by a teammate.
Erde came up and blocked Xia Xiaoyu.
But he didn't take the initiative to press the ball. He just stayed a few meters in front of Xia Xiaoyu, leaving him no room to dribble the ball forward.
Algeria, which is in the lead, can adopt this relatively passive defensive strategy in defense - let the Chinese team control the ball in the midfield, and they stand in their defensive positions. As long as their positions are not messy, then the Chinese team
It doesn't matter how the ball is passed, if it is passed one or two times, the Chinese team may not be able to find any space near the penalty area.
And the game time passed by this meaningless kick.
Eventually, the time left for the Chinese team will become less and less, and their mentality will become more and more anxious. At that time, it will be Algeria's opportunity to counterattack.
Xia Xiaoyu raised his head and glanced ahead. Because it was a positional battle, most of the players on both sides were locked in their positions.
He could clearly see that Algeria's back line and forward line were close to each other. Everyone was only about three or four meters apart. It was like the upper and lower rows of teeth were tightly meshed together, almost covering the horizontal space in front of the penalty area.
, there is no time at all.
If you and your teammates pass the football sideways, the opponent's defense will not change in any way. They will move sideways as a whole with the football, because there are enough people, and it is difficult to create space with this lateral movement.
In the past, when faced with this kind of intensive defense, he would choose to pass the football back, and then run back with him, pulling out the opponent's forward and forward line, and then suddenly hit the opponent's space.
But he had tried this trick before, and Algeria remained indifferent and allowed the Chinese team to pass the ball back. Even if it reached the feet of goalkeeper Lin Zhiyuan, they still couldn't come out in their own half.
This is a decision to defend until the end.
So he can't send it back either.
Since it can't be transferred laterally or passed back, there is only one way left...forward!
But moving forward can be divided into two types: dribbling the ball forward and passing the ball forward.
In terms of dribbling, Xia Xiaoyu is not as good as Zhang Qinghuan, who has already left the field. And as a defensive midfielder, he should dribble forward less from this position, especially when being blocked by the opponent, otherwise the opponent will be able to face the Chinese team defender once the ball is lost.
If the game is over the line, it's over. If we lose one more goal, the game will end prematurely.
After all this calculation, there is only one plan left - pass the ball forward!
Thinking of this, Xia Xiaoyu looked into the distance again.
On the line of the penalty area where everyone was originally standing in a dead position, Hu Lai suddenly ran away from the center.
When he ran away, Moussaoui was taken away.
Xia Xiaoyu immediately realized that there was a gap of about five or six meters at their original position!
So he made a long pass without hesitation!
The football flew past Oder and flew to the top of the penalty arc.
Lou Jiarong watched the football flying over, and then moved forward to compete with another Algerian central defender, Benjamin Sadri!
The two collided, but the football was pushed back outside the penalty area by Sadri!
Satelli turned around following the football flying out of the penalty area, and saw that the Chinese team's No. 20, who had been passing the ball just now, had already come up and was running towards the landing point of the football!
"Xia Xiaoyu thrust forward!!"
※※※
A few seconds ago, when Xia Xiaoyu passed the ball forward, the TV broadcast quickly cut to a close-up view of the Algerian penalty area, allowing everyone to clearly see the battle between Lou Jiarong and Sadri.
At this moment, Qin Lin, who was in front of the TV, suddenly shouted: "Penetrate forward!"
It was as if he was not watching the live broadcast in the living room at home, but at the training ground of Anton Shining Star.
When the header challenge ended, the football flew outside the penalty area, and the TV broadcast switched back to the long shot, it turned out that Xia Xiaoyu had already rushed towards the landing point of the football!
"Xia Xiaoyu moves forward!!" He Feng shouted.
※※※
When Sateri turned around and saw Xia Xiaoyu, his first reaction was not "danger", but "good opportunity!"
The opponent's defensive midfielder rushed to our penalty area. If I could block him here and cut off the football, wouldn't I be able to launch a threatening counterattack?
So he aggressively rushed towards Xia Xiaoyu in front of where the football landed...
And Xia Xiaoyu rushed forward without hesitation!
Zhang Qinghuan, who was standing on the sidelines watching the game, opened his eyes wide--Didn't Xiaoyu see this?
No!
He denied his guess in the next second.
Because he saw Xia Xiaoyu glance in the direction of Sateri when he was running towards the football!
He saw...
But he didn't hide!
He stretches his feet towards the football!
Sateri stepped towards him!
The two collided!
Where is the ball?!
Football is behind Sateri!
It rolls towards Algeria's forbidden area!
There was a burst of impatient cheers in front of the Chinese team’s bench!
In the Algerian penalty area, Houlay, who had just pulled away horizontally, made a counterattack!
He turned back!
Mousavi is still with him!
But he didn't care, he didn't even look at him, he just opened his arms to keep the other person away.
Mousavi knew what Hulay was going to do next. Although he could not face the goal under his own defense, Mousavi still did not dare to take it lightly...
He put all his weight on it and squeezed hard against Hu Lai!
In Hu Lai's conscious space, the [worn Bear jersey] on his body flashed with brilliance!
"Hu Lai——!" the commentator on the TV shouted.
"Hu Lai!!!" Countless Chinese fans shouted outside the TV.
Amid millions of shouts, Hu Lai spread his right leg!
Football is coming...
Shot!!
The ball was deflected by the arch of his right foot into an arc and went straight to the right post of the goal!
Goalkeeper Samari dived sideways...
Didn't touch it!
The football makes an arc and will pass through his fingers!
Then it rubbed the inside of the goal post and turned into the goal!
"Ahhhhh!! The ball has gone in! The ball has gone in -!!!" He Feng roared hoarsely. "In the 82nd minute! Hu Lai scored twice!! He equalized for the Chinese team.
Score!! Chinese team, Chinese team... still standing! Atlanta! At the Mercedes Stadium!!"
