Chapter 262 The Dilemma After Leading
Delphi dribbled the ball along the left and broke through. Just now Zhang Yi had assisted to the edge of England's penalty area. He would not be able to come back to defend for a while. Delphi dribbled the ball smoothly across the half and passed the ball to Wilshere in the middle before Jiang Qi came up to defend him.

Hu Gandang did not dare to ignore this 17-year-old kid. Playing in the Premier League at the age of 16 is not something everyone can do, not to mention that he also played in the European Champions Cup. Although Wenger also has misread young players, most of the time, his vision is still very sharp. Wenger has high hopes that he will be Fabregas' best midfield partner.

He stuck it up safely, but Wilshere did not choose to break through him, but distributed the ball to Gosling on the right. Gosling immediately flicked his arch and passed the ball to Walcott who was pulled to the side.

"Walcott broke through Huang Zhenghong! Going straight into the penalty area from the wing! Dangerous! Chen Jian came over to make up for it, but Walcott's ability to control the ball in a small area is too good, and Chen Jian didn't dare to use too much movement in the penalty area... Chen Jian was also swayed! A small angle shot! Beautiful! Wu Bufan made a beautiful sideways save and saved the ball out of the baseline!"

Long Bisheng saw that Kelly was already rushing towards the China Youth team to compete for the corner kick, and he also ran back. Ding Yu saw his move and immediately yelled at him, and then pointed to the England half. Long Bisheng stopped helplessly near the center circle.

Seeing Ding Yu's actions, Pierce frowned. After thinking about it, he stood up and shouted at Kelly. Kelly was also taken aback, and then obediently returned to the half court.

"This guy really values ​​the victory of the dragon." Ding Yu cursed in his heart, but this is not bad. After losing at least one 1.9-meter big man, the pressure on the Chinese youth team to defend the high ball will be reduced a lot.

Delph took a corner kick, and Sturridge was unable to reach the ball under Li Jie's close defense. Later, Huang Zhenghong rushed the ball out of the penalty area in front of Walcott.

Dai Guangming, who retreated, got the ball ahead of Delphi. After a two-for-one cooperation with his surroundings, he passed the ball to Long Bisheng who was in front.

Zhang Yi sent an overhead kick without stopping the ball, and then all the fans saw a wonderful scene-the two big men started a speed competition, and they kept colliding with each other when they ran towards the ball together. However, the speed of the two is not too slow, and one step is basically one meter.

In the end, Long Bisheng had the upper hand - it was hard for Kelly to bump him, and every time he bumped, he could make Kelly lean to the side, which allowed him to grab the ball in front of Kelly at the penalty line!

Bhutto had already rushed out of the small penalty area. Long Bisheng, who just got the ball, had no time to adjust. Seeing that Bhutto had blocked the angle, he suddenly stretched out his foot to pick under the ball!
The ball slowly soared into the air, flew over Bhutto's head, and then slowly fell towards the gate...

Kelly was already fighting with Long Bisheng, and at this time he was absolutely unable to chase after the goal. But Bhutto turned around quickly and rushed towards the goal.

So everyone watched helplessly as the black and white elf gently landed on the door line as if trying to whet everyone's appetite, and then flicked it slowly...

A huge whistling sound resounded in the stands!The cheers of the Chinese fans sounded in the land of the same ancient civilization!Ancient Chinese totems flew over the pharaohs, pyramids, and mummies. Nearly [-] Chinese fans shouted only one word: "Dragon! Dragon! Dragon!"

Long Bisheng struggled to get up from the ground—he was knocked to the ground by Kelly just after the shot—Kelly was already planning to use a foul to stop Long Bisheng’s shot, but he was still a step too late.

Long Bisheng, who had just got up, felt a heavy weight on his back. Dai Guangming, who was the first to run up, cheered and jumped onto Long Bisheng's back, and then Zhang Yi also jumped up.

"Great job!" Ding Yu shouted at his disciples while waving his fists on the sidelines, and the assistant coaches beside him were also cheering. Although Chi Shangbing and Xu Genbao were the seniors among the Chinese football seniors and the masters among the top fighters, they were relatively unsuccessful in coaching at the national level. This is the first time they cheered for the Chinese team's goal in the knockout stage of a world competition!

Pierce looked expressionlessly at the players of the China Youth Team celebrating. He admitted that he still underestimated Long Bisheng's personal ability. Kelly was inferior to him in terms of height, jumping and confrontation. More importantly, Kelly may not be as fast as Long Bisheng...

And the lob shot just now made Pierce look at Long Bisheng with admiration. With such shooting skills, Long Bisheng can no longer be measured purely by a high center forward.

The basic skills of his feet are good, it is difficult to break his ball, and he can break the defense around the front. It is really not easy for him to go around with such a big body. He doesn't care about ordinary small moves... Maybe there are definitely defenders in the top European leagues who can stare at him, but there are no such defenders in the England youth team.

"Tell David Levine to let him and Martin go to watch the dragon together." Pierce said to the assistant coach beside him expressionlessly.

"Two central defenders stare at him as a striker? Although the China Youth Team has only one striker, but their ability to advance in the midfield is very good?" the assistant coach asked in surprise.

"Convey it." Pierce did not explain, but said lightly.

The assistant coach didn't dare to say anything anymore, and Pierce's tough guy style was also reflected in his coaching.

**************************************
After the game restarted, Long Bisheng found that there was one more defender by his side - he rarely received such treatment in the British Championship. Unexpectedly, Pierce really valued him and let two central defenders be responsible for defending him.

"Ding Yu, does this guy react so quickly?" Ding Yu muttered dissatisfiedly, indicating that Pierce's approach is stupid on the surface - both central defenders are staring at Long Bisheng, and the defense against others will naturally weaken, but you must know that the current Zhongqing team's offense basically has to go through Long Bisheng - when counterattacking, he is the first point of the ball. Going out of the penalty area to play the ball is quite threatening. If you bypass Long Bisheng, the power of the Zhongqing team's offense will be reduced by at least half.

"Let's see what happens when these two stare at Long Bisheng together." Ding Yu thought.

After conceding the ball, the Three Lions began to show their sharp fangs—an injured beast is often more ferocious and difficult to deal with—now the players of the China Youth Team felt this way. Walcott began to run in a wide range on the two wings.

The defensive problems of the Chinese youth team began to be exposed. Li Jie and Hu Gandang, who had the strongest personal defensive ability, could not participate in the overall defense beside Sturridge and Wilshere. The personal ability of the other defenders could only be regarded as mediocre. Under the circumstances, he began to participate more in the defense, and fell into a one-on-one battle with Hoyt around him. Only Dai Guangming could rely on his personal breakthrough to cause some troubles for England's defense line, but for a defense line that is ready for battle, the power of one person is quite small. Dai Guangming is not Maradona after all.

"Go away!" Li Jie struggled to get the ball above Sturridge's head, then pushed the ball as far as possible, and the ball fell to the midfield. Under Tomkins' entanglement, Dai Guangming kicked the ball first and stabbed it to Long Bisheng near the center circle.

However, Kelly and Levin's tacit cooperation of the defenders made it miserable to defend Long Bisheng. Although Levin was not too tall, he was very strong. Long Bisheng bumped into him a few times but failed to knock him away.

The surroundings did use sprints to throw Hoyt away for a certain distance, but as soon as he caught up with the ball, Hoyt decisively cleared the ball off the sideline, and England successfully prevented the Chinese youth team from counterattacking.

This positional attack failed to score a goal in the end, and even failed to shoot - England's excellent defense allowed the China Youth Team to pass the ball around the perimeter. In the end, Zhang Yi directly hoisted the ball into the penalty area. Long Bisheng was entangled by Levin. Before he could jump up, Kelly rushed the ball out of the penalty area in front of him.

No one thought that after taking the lead, the offense of the Zhongqing team was in trouble.
