Li Yun's worries became a reality step by step.

After leading, Sweden did not take Senegal seriously. In the first ten minutes, the Swedish team took the initiative on the field and successfully broke through the opponent's goal. In the eyes of the players on the field, this so-called super dark horse is actually not very strong at all. It is purely because they can defeat France and qualify from Group A. They are really lucky, but in fact, they are really not strong, and even their African brother Nigeria is inferior. Nigeria was beaten into a sieve by itself. Facing the small Senegal, if they don't score a few more goals, they will be really sorry for themselves.

With this mentality, after scoring, Sweden not only did not consider how to stabilize its defense, but instead raised the offense to a more violent level than before. They must use this crazy attack to completely defeat Senegal's defense, and then scored goals continuously until the opponent surrendered. But let alone, this method really made the Senegalese unexpected that they wanted to use the Swedish team's regular contraction after scoring the goal to regain the initiative, but they did not expect that they were suppressed by the opponent with such a new attack frenzy. They were confused for a moment, and the defense was in chaos, and they almost scored another goal by the Swedish team. If they really lost another goal at this time, the Swedish team could basically lock in the victory. Li Yun didn't have to worry about anything anymore, just recover from the field with peace of mind.

Sweden, who tasted the sweetness, launched a fierce offensive to the opponent's hinterland, trying to expand the score before the end of the first half, and it would be better to score more than one goal. They have made the mistake of underestimating the enemy, but at this time they made the second mistake, which was also the mistake they made against Nigeria, which was to focus only on the number of attacks, not on the quality of attacks. Last time, because of Li Yun's existence, they finally won, and it was a big victory, so this problem was covered up and not paid any attention to. But today, in this 1/8 final, which was related to promotion, the problem was put on the table again. This time, Li Yun was not present, and no one would help them solve this problem again, which had a great impact on the Swedish team. Of course, this impact was negative.

In the 15th minute, Svensen's long shot went over the crossbar; in the 17th minute, Lyonberg's small angle goal shot on the side net; in the 20th minute, Ibrahimovic's header directly sent the ball to Silva's arms; in the 25th minute, Larson's shovel was blocked by Diop and left the baseline...

The continuous attack failed and the continuous shooting failed, causing the Swedish team's momentum to gradually decline. Although they still had a slight advantage on the field, it was obvious that they could no longer meet the momentum of the previous period. On the contrary, Senegal survived from this difficult environment and gradually recovered his vitality. As one went up and down, the initiative on the field began to be transferred to the hands of the Africans.

In the 26th minute, Senegal, who had a breath of breath, launched a counterattack. Diouf took advantage of his speed and technical advantages to shake off Melbery and forcibly overtake. After throwing his opponent behind, he made a timely pass to the right side of the penalty area, and No. 19 Buba Diop pushed the ball into the net. Fortunately, the ball was judged as offside by the referee, and the Swedish team escaped.

But the matter was not over yet. The Senegals who seemed to have discovered something continued their offensive. Just one minute later, Diouf used his usual tricks again and passed Melbery again, but his cross was blocked from the sideline by Melbery who was desperately chasing back. Although the attack was not successful, it was obvious that the Senegals had realized that against Nordic teams like Sweden, skills are the best weapon!

The Swedes, who once had absolute initiative on the court, began to fall into a dilemma. The Senegal team, whose skills were obviously much better than them, began to control the situation on the court, which made them unable to adapt for a while, and made themselves more and more passive and their mentality became more and more anxious. If they continue to develop according to this momentum, the situation will be quite bad.

"What happened?"

Soderbergh and Ragbeck frowned at the same time. They clearly saw the dilemma of their team on the court off the court. They were still fine just now, but why did it suddenly become like this? If you don’t think of a solution now, it will be really difficult to deal with.

"Patrick!"

Taking advantage of the dead ball, Ragbeck called his captain over.

"Tell them not to compare skills with the Senegalese. We cannot beat them in this regard! Use our bodies more and fight more! Make full use of our advantages and don't be afraid of fouls! Also, it's just to find ways to reduce the pace of the game. If the pace is too fast, it will only make us more disadvantageous! Do you understand?"

"Okay, I get it!"

After drinking a few sips of water, Patrick Anderson immediately returned to the stadium and conveyed the head coach's intentions to everyone. The so-called authorities were confused and the bystanders were clear. The players on the court thought about it and realized that this was really the case. It was really nonsense to compete with these fast and flexible Africans, and it was reasonable to use their physical advantages to the greatest extent. Then, the Swedes began to follow this arrangement and make changes. In an instant, the field was a blow, and the bodies of both sides became fierce.

Although the Swedish team temporarily curbed the opponent's gradually improving offensive in this way and gradually brought itself back to its original track, chances on the football field will sometimes affect the entire situation, just like today, the Swedish team has become a victim of this accident.

In the 37th minute, Swedish midfielder Alexanderson was hit hard in a fight with his opponent and had to leave the court for treatment. However, the game on the court was still in progress, and the Swedish team had to temporarily fight against the opponent with one less player. It was this disadvantage in number that made them suffer a big loss.

With one missing person in the midfield, Sweden's defensive formation instantly showed a flaw, and was caught in time by Senegal and sent a fatal pass!

Kamala, at the front of the penalty area, took the pass. He stopped with a beautiful chest and controlled the ball under his feet. Then he dribbled the ball horizontally over Mialby, and immediately shot a diagonal low shot. Because the ball was fast and the angle was sharp, Hedman could not save it at all, allowing the ball to slip past his hand and into the net behind him.

1:1! In the 37th minute, Senegal equalized the score. This was an extremely bad thing for Sweden, but what was worse than being equalized was that the situation they had just recovered became less reliable.

"Damn it, bad luck!"

Soderberg was very angry. He felt really unlucky. In fact, as long as Sweden can hold on for another three or five minutes, he can change the entire situation and then delay the first half, and win more than ten minutes of adjustment time. At that time, after a targeted arrangement, Sweden still has a very big chance to continue to expand the score in the second half. Even if he can't score again, he can do it at the most, not let Senegal score, and the 1:0 result is enough for Sweden to advance. But now, his wishful thinking has completely failed after this accident. Sweden can only start over like his opponent.

Li Yun's brows became tighter and tighter. He couldn't remember when the Senegalese scored, but one thing he knew was that Senegal did tie the score, then dragged Sweden into overtime, and through the golden ball in overtime, the Swedish team "suddenly died". Now, everything has been in line with the original history. It seems that as he was worried, history is using its powerful inertia to bring things back to its original track.

The first half ended like this. Although the scores were the same, both sides left the field with different expressions - the Swedes were depressed, while the Senegalese were very happy. Such expressions also reflect the mood of the two teams and the advantages and disadvantages of the situation. It can be said that the Senegalese have completely controlled the situation. The Swedish team may fall into a full passive state in the second half.

Sure enough, from the first minute of the second half, Senegal completely suppressed Sweden. Although during the halftime, Soderbergh and Ragbeck made adjustments to the team's tactics and made some arrangements that seemed to be very effective, it was another thing to say that it was one thing and did it, and the players on both sides who gradually changed their mentality immediately showed different competitive states as soon as they arrived on the court. Although the Swedes were not at the point of collapse, don't forget that the Africans are a group of passionate men who can do anything when they were crazy! The Swedes who were responsible for this will definitely not be their opponents in this situation, so the situation on the court immediately showed a large degree of inclination!

"Not good, the situation is not good!"

Li Yun saw it clearly, and Sweden's loss was clearly shown before him. Although he believed that according to the development of history, both sides should enter overtime with a 1:1 draw, the momentum shown on the court is that Sweden is likely to lose this game within regular time!

The more you worry about, the more you will be. With Senegal's increasingly fierce offensive, the Swedish team gradually could not stand it, and the loopholes in the defense gradually became more and more obvious. By the 74th minute, history finally began to show a large deviation! Kamala got the ball in the middle, and when he attracted a large part of the defensive attention of the Swedish team, he distributed the ball to Diouf on the wing. After the latter received the ball, he dribbled the ball with a large amplitude, and then chased it all the way with his unreasonable speed. Before the Swedish defense formed a system, he knocked the ball across the door, and then swept the ball into the goal by the Caff who was in the forefront!

The ball entered, Senegal led the way. The Swedish team came to a very dangerous situation!
