"It's too dangerous." Chen Jiangfeng broke into a cold sweat just now, "There are still some substitutions on the Mexican side. Are you planning to step up the attack?"
Dad Chen stared at the screen nervously: "It seems to be a midfielder. This is to play a lone forward to strengthen the midfielder again."
At this time, substitutions were being made on the field, and Raul Lopez replaced forward Bueno, who started but did nothing.
Soon Rick Link also chose to make substitutions. Xiong Jian replaced Zou Weijia. This was also a way to strengthen the midfield defense. It seemed that he also wanted to compete in the midfield.
Xiong Jian's appearance on the court did have an effect. As the Long Teng team's regular midfielder and sweeper, Xiong Jian has the ability to run up and down, and is good at filling positions and intercepting.
Moreover, Xiong Jian's appearance freed up Qi Ming, who could have more energy to take care of Gutierrez, the midfielder who is responsible for Mexico's offensive organization. This can effectively cut off the interference between Gutierrez and Lozano.
connect.
Sure enough, after Gutierrez found it difficult to pass the ball to Lozano comfortably, although Mexico's left attack still existed, the threat became much smaller. The double defense of Zhang Linpeng and Xiong Jian made it difficult to catch the ball.
Lozano, who was comfortable, had no chance to face the attack directly.
Although the football is still being passed to Lozano's feet, he has to adjust before he can participate in the attack. The director's camera frequently shows him, but he mostly chooses to pass back with his back, which is threatening.
The cross-pass transfer no longer exists.
In the 30th minute of the second half, a Mexican backcourt passed the ball to Lozano. Du Zhenyu was stuck in the penalty area this time. Lozano chose to beat the ball from behind Du Zhenyu.
After a moment, he then made an obvious diving move and fell into the penalty area.
Du Zhenyu quickly raised his hands to show that he had not committed a foul. The referee Tobin knew it clearly. He ran directly into the penalty area and gave Lozano, who was still lying on the ground about to take a penalty kick, a yellow card.
With handball and diving, Lozano was obviously anxious.
Lozano's action also attracted deafening boos from the Chinese fans in the stands, followed by applause for the French referee's penalty.
This flop is actually the mentality of all the players in the Mexican team now - they urgently need to score a goal.
Next, the Chinese team's midfielder was like a meat grinder, constantly crushing the Mexican team's attempts to pass. Of course, the Chinese team also paid the price for its comeback. Not only did Zhang Linpeng use too much force in defense, he was eaten.
Yellow card, Xiong Jian, who just came on the field, was also given a yellow card for pulling down a Mexican player in the midfield.
But it was worth it, because Mexico was obviously in disarray. They began to take the ball more from the backcourt and directly look for Lozano and Eric Torres in front, hoping to directly penetrate the Chinese team's defense.
It's a pity that these two offensive players are not high center forwards. In the competition for headers, they are the loser.
At the 35th minute of the second half, Gutierrez was ready to make the final adjustment. He called the substitutes to his side and used the tactical board to make arrangements.
At this time, the situation on the court suddenly changed. An attack by Mexico was interrupted by the Chinese team. Moreover, because there were too many people involved in the attack, when Qi Ming passed the ball to the frontcourt with a big kick, the Chinese team formed a 4-on-4 formation.
This is an excellent opportunity for the Chinese team to counterattack.
Qin Minghao was dribbling the ball while observing the situation of his teammates. Nie Jiang was in the middle and was being stared at by the opponent's center back. Zhang Linpeng from the right rushed up and asked for the ball with his hands raised high. Behind him on the left was cutting in at high speed.
After Ding Huaiyi, Qin Minghao finally chose to transfer the ball to Zhang Linpeng.
After Zhang Linpeng received the pass, he didn't make any adjustments. He chose a direct long-range shot. This shot was extremely powerful and the angle he chose was also good, right in the upper right corner of the goal.
Mexico's goalkeeper Tarabella is also an overage player. He was born in 1982 and is very experienced. When Qin Minghao chose to pass the ball, he began to move to the right of the goal. When Zhang Linpeng's shot was completed, Tarabella
Labella had already dived sideways, and finally he used his fingers to hold the ball, and the ball flew out of the baseline.
Although this save gave the Chinese team a corner kick, they finally kept the goal and kept a clean sheet.
When Chen Jiangfeng saw Zhang Linpeng's shot, he shouted loudly: "Good shot! Beautiful shot."
Dad Chen also said excitedly: "Zhang Linpeng's long-range shooting skills are still there. He has been to this world wave many times in the Chinese Super League. After going to Europe, it was rare to see him play. I didn't expect that he almost made a contribution today."
"
Zhang Sheng in front of the TV also nodded silently. After Zhang Linpeng went to Europe, although there was not much attention in China, it could be seen that he could establish a foothold in Europe, which gave him great confidence. He performed very well in this game.
steady.
It seems that Italy is really a training class for defenders, even though Zhang Linpeng plays in low-level leagues such as the Italian Regional League and Serie C.
At this time, Gutierrez, who was already preparing to make a substitution, chose to wait a little longer, because when defending corner kicks on the football field, newcomers are generally not allowed to come up, otherwise the players who have just come on the field may not be active, or they may be
The lack of coordination with the players who had already played most of the game resulted in conceding the ball.
The Chinese team is stalling for time.
First, Xu Mingyu held the ball and prepared to take the penalty. Then, under the command of Rick Link, it was Ding Huaiyi who took the penalty. The process of changing positions between the two lasted for at least more than a minute. When he saw that the referee was almost dying.
Impatient, Ding Huaiyi, who had been walking slowly towards the corner flag, quickly quickened his pace and bent down to position the football.
When Ding Huaiyi's ball came out, Mexico's central defender Montes used his height advantage to push the ball out of the penalty area. At this time, it was Qin Minghao who was standing in the penalty area and pushed the ball out.
Facing the incoming ball, Qin Minghao first made a beautiful offload and stopped the ball firmly at his feet. Then he chose to break into Mexico's penalty area from the left.
Mexico was obviously ill-prepared for Qin Minghao's breakthrough. Seeing Qin Minghao's aggressive intervention, several Mexican players did not immediately chase him. Instead, they looked at each other and expected their teammates to press for them. In such a moment, they were stunned.
Qin Minghao has already dribbled the ball into the left side of the penalty area at high speed.
When Montes, who was closest to Qin Minghao, wanted to intercept him, Qi Ming blocked him firmly with his body. At this time, there was no defensive player around Qin Minghao.
How could Qin Minghao let go of such a good opportunity? He decisively chose to hit the upper left corner of the goal with his left foot.
Under the strong impact of Qin Minghao, the football was like a bolt of lightning, flying straight to the upper left corner of the goal. Such a close shot, no matter how fast Tarabella reacted, there was nothing he could do. He could only wave his hands symbolically, and at this time
The football has flown into the goal.
Tarabella's actions were like surrendering to Qin Minghao's shot, which was firmly engraved by the camera.
"Ah! Qin Minghao! The mouse scored a goal." Chen Jiangfeng shook his head. After standing up, he turned around and knelt down on the sofa, hitting the back of the sofa with his fist, like a mad dog.
At this time, Father Chen was no better than Chen Jiangfeng. He didn't care about the cigarette he was smoking in his hand. He tightened his grip and shook his fist vigorously. The ash was spread all over the floor as he shook it.
"Haha, we are ahead. There are ten minutes left, hold on, hold on, we are about to qualify." Chen Jiangfeng got off the sofa and screamed and jumped, extremely happy.
After Dad Chen calmed down, he quickly collected the cigarette ashes on the ground.
On the TV, Qin Minghao excitedly rushed to the stands and waved to the stands, where Qin Minghao's parents were.
Father Qin accepted the celebrations from his friends with a smile on his face.
"Your son is awesome now! Congratulations, congratulations."
"Old Qin, you really have a good son."
Other teammates from the Olympic team also rushed over at this time. Everyone excitedly surrounded Qin Minghao to celebrate this hard-won goal. Rick Linke on the sidelines was also ecstatic with the assistant coach beside him.
The team leaders hugged each other in celebration.
Zengcheng, who was far away from the other goal, was also smiling and waving his fists to cheer for his teammates on the other side of the field.
After kicking off again, the morale of the Chinese team was obviously higher, while Mexico seemed more impatient.
Of course, Mexico, which has stronger physical strength, still had a chance. Just three minutes after the goal, the overly excited Ma Yongli lost the ball in the backcourt, and it was Eric Torres who stole the ball.
Other Mexican players also rushed forward in a swarm, asking for the ball. As a result, Eric Torres, who was too hasty, directly chose to shoot in front of the penalty area, and the kick was not in the right place - the kick was flawed, football.
It flew directly out of the bottom line.
After finishing the shot, Eric Torres touched his head in embarrassment and raised his hand to express his apology to his teammates.
Gutierrez also completed the third substitution at this time. Forward Carlos Fierro replaced left back Torres. This time it was a last-ditch effort.
The Mexican team, already pressed hard, now began to press forward from all fronts, regardless of how the defense was doing.
In the five or six minutes after conceding the goal, Mexico continuously completed six-corner shots, which shows their eagerness.
As a result, in the 41st minute of the second half, the Chinese team almost scored again.
This time, a big kick from Mexico came into the penalty area. Li Yun's header cleared the ball very far. Ding Huaiyi from the left took the ball and ran all the way. Mexico had only three players behind it. When Ding Huaiyi went down to the baseline, and then a
After a beautiful emergency stop and spike, the two players guarding him overshot, and then Ding Huaiyi passed the ball in an inverted triangle to the center of the completely empty penalty area.
Nie Jiang happened to be in position to catch the ball at this time. Facing the Mexican goal with only one defender and one goalkeeper left, Nie Jiang's shot was too angular, and ended up grazing the right post and flying out of the baseline.
The Chinese team missed the opportunity to expand the score.
"This goal is a pity." Chen Jiangfeng also held his head in regret, "If this goal had been scored, the game would have been over."
"It's okay. After the last game, the Chinese team will definitely not lose the ball in the final stage of the game again." Dad Chen began to bet on the Chinese team.
After regretting for a while, Rick Linke chose to make a substitution. Zhang Linpeng, who had a yellow card on his body, was replaced by Huang He. Apparently he was afraid that in the last few minutes, Zhang Linpeng would not dare to make a move because he had a yellow card and would give the opponent a chance.
After replacing this person, Reiklink still had a substitution card in his hand to play, which he planned to use to delay time in injury time.
In the last few minutes of regular time, the Mexican team began to make desperate long-range shots. One was hoping to score a goal, and the other was hoping to get a corner kick and used set-piece tactics to create opportunities.
As the oldest player in the entire team, Zengcheng showed his experience this time. He tried his best to suppress the ball every time he made a save, and then slowly stood up and kicked off when he saw that there was no one around him.
In the 45th minute of the second half, the Mexican team did get a corner kick. This penalty was also very good and found the Mexican player in the penalty area. However, there were also two Mexican players at this point. Their headers interfered with each other.
The football eventually went over the crossbar.
Gutierrez on the sidelines also waved his hands in annoyance.
Seeing that the game entered stoppage time, the Mexican players, who were already a little angry, became more and more aggressive. In the first minute of stoppage time, when Du Zhenyu and Eric Torres competed for a header, they knew they could not grab the ball.
The attacker hit Du Zhenyu on the brow with his elbow, and blood immediately came out.
The referee rushed over and gave Eric Torres a yellow card and asked Du Zhenyu to come off the field for treatment. Rick Link also took advantage of the situation and replaced Du Zhenyu with Li Ming.
This time the treatment plus substitutions completely consumed the extra time.
The referee Tobin also gave another minute of stoppage time at his discretion.
Zengcheng, who took the ball in the penalty area, first looked to his left, then to his right, and then waved his hands to let his teammates press on him, preparing to kick. As a result, he was given a yellow card because of too much delay.
The Mexican players even angrily yelled at Zengcheng, telling him not to waste time.
When the ball came out from Zengcheng, Huang He got the ball on the right side. After getting the ball, Huang He was not in a hurry to attack, but took the ball to the sideline and waited for his teammates to come over.
In the end, Gutierrez hit Huang He hard from behind, knocking Huang He out of bounds, and Huang He also fell to the ground and hugged the ball.
Just when Huang He was about to slowly get up with the help of the fourth official, Lozano, who was already full of anger, ran over from far away, and in front of the referee and the fourth official, he pushed Huang He with both hands.
Pushed to the ground.
This kind of foul without the ball under the referee's nose has only one consequence - a red card. Lozano still wanted to argue with the referee, but was persuaded by the team captain to leave the field.
One goal behind, one player missing, less than a minute left in the game, Mexico, which had to win to qualify, had no chance at all.
After one more minute of added time, the referee's whistle sounded. The Chinese Olympic team defeated its powerful opponent 1:0, knocking out the defending champion Mexico and making a historic entry into the Olympics.
Quarterfinals.
This is another historic breakthrough for Chinese football.
