When Hu Lai equalized the score, Li Ziqiang, who was ready to make adjustments, took advantage of the dead ball and quickly conveyed his instructions to the players of Dongchuan Middle School.
Although the score has been equalized, we still have to shrink our defense and fight back.
Because he expected that Akebono High School, which had equalized the score, would definitely step up its attack.
As the defending champions, it is impossible for them not to respond to such a "humiliation".
And the best response for Akebono High School, which is always good at attacking, is naturally to attack.
Under such circumstances, if Dongchuan Middle School, which is not familiar with playing against Shuguang High School, is not prepared and wants to take advantage of the momentum of just equalizing the score and press out to attack Shuguang High School, it may lose the ball again in a short period of time.
This can be said to be a devastating blow to their morale.
Hulay's goal will also be wasted.
Therefore, the correct approach at this time is to recycle the defense, tighten the fence, and stabilize the defense line.
After withstanding this wave of attacks from Shuguang High School, their fighting spirit and confidence were eroded. As time went by, they would naturally become more impatient due to their superior strength.
Only then will Dongchuan Middle School’s counterattack come into play...
Because of Li Ziqiang's prestige in the team, even though the Dongchuan Middle School players who equalized the score were very excited, they still listened to the head coach's words and tightened their defense.
The subsequent games also proved Li Ziqiang correct.
After the game restarted, Shuguang High School launched an attack on Dongchuan Middle School almost desperately.
Under the leadership of Chen Xingyi, their attack was like a violent storm.
If Dongchuan Middle School had not recovered its defense, it might have been beaten into pieces at this time...
"Chen Xingyi broke into the penalty area... and passed the ball across! He passed the football towards the goal! Mao Xiao took the first kick and kicked the football out of the baseline. Oh! What a danger!"
"Shuguang High School got a corner kick...the corner kick came out and Li Yi headed the ball! Meng Xi made a very beautiful save! He raised his hands and hugged the football directly in his arms!"
"Chen Xingyi dropped back to catch the ball... a beautiful turn! Wow! He dribbled the ball forward! Chen Rui came up to defend him, he cut inside and walked to the middle... dribbling laterally... passed one person and then another.
!Kicked the shot! Oops! It missed a little bit, what a pity!”
"Chen Xingyi's performance during this period is really outstanding. He not only used his breakthrough ability to the extreme, but he also sent more threatening passes to his teammates, which also made Dongchuan Middle School's goal dangerous!
"
"Chen Xingyi was the top scorer in two consecutive national competitions, so much so that some people have forgotten that in fact, he first played as a winger at Shuguang High School... He was a midfielder, and then he gradually became a forward.
.He can provide assists to his teammates!"
Facing the pressure brought by Chen Xingyi, even Hu Lai actively participated in the defense, and it was not a pretense like before, but a real defense.
Because of this, he even had his first direct conversation with Chen Xingyi in this game so far.
At that time, after Chen Xingyi retreated to get the ball, he wanted to turn around and dribble the ball to break through. In front of him was Chen Rui, who was waiting for the ball. Chen Xingyi also focused on this opponent, preparing to use a change in rhythm to shake the opponent away.
.
But at this moment, a person suddenly came up from behind and stretched a leg between Chen Xingyi's swinging legs.
Chen Xingyi has encountered this kind of defense in previous games. He also has a corresponding method, which will at most make him stagger a little, but will not make him fall.
But this time, the opponent obviously didn't just stretch out a leg. He stretched his leg in while running side by side with him. He didn't extend his leg directly, but stretched his leg in and then turned outward.
After a while, it formed an L shape and entangled Chen Xingyi's legs!
Now Chen Xingyi tried his best to move his leg forward, but he only managed to winch the owner of the leg in. And the other party seemed to be very happy to be winched in. Without any resistance, he quickly pressed over.
Chen Xingyi could no longer maintain his balance and fell to the ground with his opponent, naturally losing the ball.
The referee's whistle sounds and the opponent is awarded a foul.
There were also deafening boos in the stands.
Only then did Chen Xingyi see who had blocked his breakthrough - Hu Laizheng was apologizing to himself: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to..."
Chen Xingyi looked down at the opponent's leg, which was still entangled with his own, and sighed: "Your foul technique is really superb."
"It's unfair, brother, I really didn't mean it. I wanted to come up and steal the ball, but your high-speed swinging legs created a strong suction force and sucked me here... Look, I'm light.
, I couldn't get away for a while, so I bumped into him..." Hu Lai defended himself seriously, but Chen Xingyi just wanted to roll his eyes at him. Isn't this nonsense a conditioned reflex?
Hu Lai didn't care about Chen Xingyi's reaction at all. He pulled his leg out from between the opponent's legs, climbed up again, and then reached out to him: "Are you okay? Are you not injured?"
Chen Xingyi took his hand and was pulled up by him: "If we are in the lead now, then I will definitely be injured."
Hu Lai laughed, patted Chen Xingyi on the back, then turned around and walked to the free kick spot designated by the referee, standing in front of the football to prevent Chen Xingyi or other Shuguang High School players from taking the free kick quickly.
.
Seeing him like this, Chen Xingyi also gave up his plan to take a free kick quickly. Instead, he ran past the football, ran to the front, and left the free kick to his teammates.
Hu Lai stood until the opponent signaled to the referee, then took a few steps back to let the opponent take the free kick near the center circle.
※※※
Hu Lai's foul against Chen Xingyi was just a minor episode in the game. His foul did not change the situation of the game as Shuguang High School continued to attack Dongchuan Middle School.
After that, Hu Lai did not face Chen Xingyi.
The game time passed by minute by second, and the students of Dongchuan Middle School, thousands of miles away, were in their respective classrooms, staring at the live game screen on the projection screen, so nervous that they did not dare to breathe casually.
Only after an attack at Shuguang High School ended, a sigh of relief could be heard in every classroom.
"Principal Zhai?" The secretary looked at Zhai Guangming nervously at the door. He was worried that the old principal's heart would not be able to withstand such an intense competition.
Principal Zhai did not answer him, but just made an OK gesture to him without taking his eyes away from the TV screen at all.
Despite this, the secretary still did not dare to neglect. He did not return to his seat, but stood by the door. His eyes flicked back and forth between the TV screen and Principal Zhai. He was always ready if there was any excitement in the game.
Wherever there was, he immediately went to see Principal Zhai. If the principal acted strangely, he would no longer care about the principal's opinion and rush in directly to save people.
Zhai Guangming was well aware of his secretary's plans, but he did not stop him because he couldn't care less about his secretary now.
Seeing that there are about ten minutes left before the end of the game, if Dongchuan Middle School can withstand Shuguang High School's offensive and drag the game into a penalty shootout, it will really have a chance to win the national championship!
Thinking of this possibility, the old principal's heart beat faster...
※※※
Liang Yuanhao lowered his head and looked at his watch, time was running out.
He plans to make some adjustments.
Although his team's fierce attack made Dongchuan Middle School look a little embarrassed, it actually pressed the opponent's defense line tighter. The three lines were closely connected and there were fewer openings near the penalty area. He judged that if he continued to attack like this, there would be no chance of success.
What a gain.
Because the opponent is obviously used to Shuguang High School's offensive rhythm.
At this time, it is necessary to make appropriate adjustments, change the rhythm, and let Dongchuan Middle School pull out its formation so that the openings will appear.
Thinking of this, he got up from the coaching bench, walked to the sidelines and made a gesture that only the players of Shuguang High School could understand.
Slow down the tempo, relax appropriately, and let Dongchuan Middle School attack.
It created an illusion that Shuguang High School was incompetent and made the Dongchuan Middle School players think they had a chance.
After they attack, look for the right opportunity, suddenly speed up, and pierce the opponent's heart!
The final ended within eighty minutes of regular game time.
