The midfield is the top priority of a team, the hub of offense and defense transformation, and the engine to control the rhythm. If the Chinese team wants to sweep away the decline and change its passive situation, the midfield needs to take the lead in making changes. Only by the linkage influence caused by the midfield can the overall change be driven.
The Chinese team, which is two goals behind, seems to make people see no hope.
Whether it is Tang Minghui and Lin Xingyu who are frowning in the VIP box at the scene, or the small number of Chinese fans who watch this game through live broadcast signals in mainland China, they seem to have determined that the Chinese team cannot turn the tide in this game.
After all, winning the runner-up is also a very good result.
After all, this is the home court of Mexico, and the host's advantage seems to have made the result sure to be true!
But no Chinese players on the court admit defeat, and they will not take the initiative to admit defeat!
After the Chinese team kicked off, their overall formation quickly pushed forward, the back line came outside the penalty area line, and the midfield line also hit the area close to the center line, and the front midfield Luo Hongkai connected the team's front court offense and defense through the halftime.
The changes made by the Chinese team first had a direct confrontation with the Mexican team in the midfield and frontcourt.
When Tang Hong received Luo Hongkai's pass in the middle of the frontcourt, he quickly passed the ball back and sent it to Liu Binbin, and then quickly stepped forward, hoping that Zhang Binyi could push the ball to the side and push the offensive.
But Liu Binbin just stopped the ball but was pressed by Marco Buno from behind. The ball was stabbed. Carlos Ferro took the ball from the wing and passed it over the top and sent the ball to the left of the frontcourt.
Gonzalez was originally ahead of Zhao Hanchun in front, but he failed to control the first stop, and continued to push forward and turn to the outside line, causing him to be caught up by Zhao Hanchun.
Although Zhao Hanchun usually has many tricks, he is really responsible today. He knows very well that this is Mexico's home court. If Mexico plays the game, it will definitely be lightly shot. If he dares to act rashly, the referee will never show mercy.
Besides, one-on-one, he didn't think he could not defend against Gonzalez. Although Mexico's fast break seemed to create a good opportunity, the disadvantages were also clear at a glance. When Marco Buno stepped forward and wanted to meet in the middle of the penalty area, it had been too long.
Just as Gonzalez was about to make a cross, Zhao Hanchun decisively stepped forward to block it, but he destroyed the football and bounced towards the midfield.
Seeing Xie Pengfei controlling the ball as soon as possible, Zhao Hanchun immediately ran forward to respond.
After this defensive success, the Chinese team clearly felt that Mexico was also a little weak on the offensive end!
When they quickly advance in the fast attack, the Chinese team's defense line will not be thrown away by the opponent. Moreover, once they launch a fast attack, the offense must be played faster. The offense has changed from an overall to a partial showdown, and the Chinese team may not be at a disadvantage!
After discovering this change, the Chinese team's confidence that it was originally hit suddenly recovered a lot.
Mexico's defensive pressure has also increased sharply!
Originally, there were only two or three players in the frontcourt to allow the Chinese team to clear the ball in the backcourt, and then the main force in the midfield and backcourt focused on blocking Tang Hong and Qin Rui. This was very successful in the past 40 minutes of game time!
But now the Chinese team is pressing forward in the midfield and backcourt, actively exposing the risk of being led by the local area behind him, which is to exchange for the increase in the offensive force in the midfield and frontcourt!
It is obvious that when they need to mark more opponents in the midfield, the defense is prone to chaos.
Seeing that the first half was approaching injury stoppage time, the Chinese team had just gained a foothold in the midfield. Luo Hongkai and Xie Pengfei collided with each other and got rid of the defensive harassment from Buno. Then, they faced Escamilla's robbery. He decisively passed the ball to the left side in front.
Tang Hong took the initiative to run towards the side from the near-center zone, and Espilicueta, the back midfielder, immediately followed suit.
When Tang Hong was about to touch the ball, he slowed down. He swung his right leg as if he was about to pass the ball back to Luo Hongkai who was inserted. Espilicueta's center of gravity was tilted, and he was about to return to the middle to block the front.
But just when his center of gravity had stabilized, he was shocked to find that Tang Hong's right leg was swinging half a circle in front of the football, and there was no passing!
No touch!
The football was still rolling towards the side, while Tang Hong twisted and ran to chase the ball!
After Espilicueta realized that he had been cheated, he immediately started to rush to the wing and chased Tang Hong. At the same time, the full-back Tostado rushed towards the wing as soon as possible!
Although Tang Hong has the lead, he can face the side when catching up with football. At the same time, two Mexican players on both sides of his back are about to block him!
No one thinks that Tang Hong still has a chance to pass the ball, and the best result is when he wins an outbound ball.
Before Tang Hong caught up with the football, he noticed Tostado coming from the right rear.
Reduce the speed, stretch out your right leg, and touch the ball on the inside of your right foot to control the ball. The two pursuers behind Tang Hongling also lowered the speed and lowered the center of gravity, ready to press Tang Hong at any time!
But the scene in front of him made both Tostado and Espilicueta feel unbelievable.
Tang Hong's right foot touched the ball and supported his body instantly. Although he had slowed down, the forward inertia was still there. He turned around 180 degrees with the football as the center, and turned around and pulled the ball towards the sideline. When he completed the turn, his left foot was already stepping outside the sideline!
But Tang Hong faced the two of them!
Tostado and Espilicueta subconsciously stretched their legs to grab them!
Just as the two pressed together, Tang Hong knocked the ball to Tostado's crotch on his right foot!
After getting the ball, quickly rush around the outside line and then rush back to the boundary and control the ball and cut in the dribble!
woo!
All Mexican fans were shocked!
How did that kid do it?
"Tang Hong! The spoon is swirling! My God! Although the Chinese team fell behind two goals, it still cannot cover up Tang Hong's light!
He is definitely the most shining star of tomorrow in this World Youth Championship!
Now he has the opportunity to create goals for the Chinese team!”
Espilicueta and Tostado have been dumped. Now only two central defenders of Mexico are blocking Tang Hong. Other players cannot form effective defensive interference because of the distance.
Tang Hong quickly dribbled inward, and there was no magnificence at this time. The ball was dribbled with his right foot very fast, and he rushed to the front of the Mexico team's penalty area like a thunder.
When defender Carlos Guzman wanted to grab the ball, Tang Hong changed direction and cut it across and got rid of it. He had already shaken the shooting angle and made a move to shoot. Another central defender Bresino decisively grabbed it. At least he was sure that Qin Rui would fall into the offside trap at this time!
But Tang Hong was fake shooting and real transmission!
Tang Hong knocked the ball across the left side in front of the penalty area.
Guzman's pace towards Tang Hong immediately stopped and turned around and wanted to intercept and press again, but Luo Hongkai, who dribbled into the penalty area, did not give him enough time!
After Luo Hongkai dribbled into the penalty area, he turned his head and looked at the middle. Qin Rui, who was originally in an offside and retreated backward, rushed straight to the front of the goal at this time. Luo Hongkai did not drag on it. As long as he was sure that Qin Rui would not offside, pass the ball decisively!
When the football rolled into the middle of the goal, goalkeeper Ricardo Sanchez abandoned the goal and made a save.
He originally thought Qin Rui would shoot directly, but Qin Rui dribbled the ball in the active reception and walked around goalkeeper Sanchez and then pushed the ball into the empty goal.
Before the end of the first half, the Chinese team scored a goal!
After Qin Rui scored, he turned around and roared wildly. Luo Hongkai ran to slam Qin Rui hard. Tang Hong gave them a thumbs up, and his murderous aura was not diminished at all!
Van der Hill on the sidelines quickly applauded and cheered, and other players on the Chinese team also gritted their teeth and roared!
This goal was too timely!
It's so boosting morale!
This is exactly what they need most now!
Mexico, do you think it's all over?
No, it's just beginning now!
"Qin Rui passed by goalkeeper Sanchez and finished scoring! The Chinese team scored a goal!
Although this goal was neither scored by Tang Hong nor assisted directly, this goal came entirely from Tang Hong's personal ability creation!
From his fake swing to his deceiving Espilicueta to his spoon back and spinning back on the wing, he passed through the gear and passed Tostado, and after cutting inward, he cut across the cross-cutting area at the front of the penalty area, two Mexican central defenders defended the last pass to Luo Hongkai who was inserted behind, Tang Hong's series of actions were gorgeous and explosive!
It's amazing!
At the same time, this is not just a show of skills, but a combination of skills and practicality!
The Chinese team scored a goal, and before the end of the first half, the score became 2:1!
We have reason to believe the second half will be even more exciting!”
The Aztec Arena was silent, and the Mexican fans in the stands would certainly not applaud the Chinese team's goals.
Chapter completed!
