Chapter 263 Little Tiger Walcott
When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half, the players of the China Youth Team never felt that the whistle for the end of the game was so beautiful.

It's a pity that it's only a temporary end. If it's the final whistle, it means that the China Youth Team will enter the semi-finals with a score of [-] to [-]...

The players who returned to the locker room were panting collectively. Although the Chinese youth team led by one goal in the first half, it was the England team that had the advantage most of the time. England is indeed the originator of modern football.

"I am very satisfied with the result of the first half, but I am not satisfied with the process of the first half." Ding Yu said with a straight face in the locker room: "Before the start of the game, what I asked was to play a vigorous confrontation with England, but except for the first ten minutes before the start of the first half, I did not see any signs of the confrontation. The ball was always flying around in our half... Can anyone tell me, what made you perform in the same first half but have such a diametrically opposite gap?"

"The opponent's attack is too violent." Dai Guangming said with a curled lip.

"Then why can't we control their offensive momentum?" Ding Yu asked rhetorically.

Long Bisheng raised his hand: "It's my fault. At the end of the first half, I failed to play the role of a bridgehead in the counterattack, and I failed to contain the opponent effectively during the positional battle."

"No, the opponent's two central defenders are defending you." Ding Yu shook his head: "They are also elite players of the same age group, two against one, and you have done a good job." He turned to other players, his face became serious: "England only has two central defenders, and they are defending Long Bisheng in the second half of the first half. , I thought you guys had already started to have some strong team temperament, even in world-wide competitions."

Hearing Ding Yu's words, the players all seemed a little ashamed. After the first half, they really lost their aggressiveness. The reason was only because of the leading goal and the opponent's fierce attack!
"We only have Long Bisheng as a striker, so the midfielder should give him more help in offense. Dai Guangming, does Tomkins' defense make you feel very difficult? The opponent is just a player who has changed from a defender to a midfielder. He will not be so good in the position of the midfielder. At least he will not be better than Hu Gandang. I remember that you have half the chance of meeting Hu Gandang in normal training. I didn't see it today." Ding Yu shook his head and said very disappointed.

Dai Guangming's fair face immediately flushed red. Although he was smart and calm, he couldn't bear the contempt for him, and immediately shouted loudly: "Who said his defense made me difficult? Let's see how I deal with him in the second half! Coach, give me 15 minutes, and within 15 minutes, if I don't make him lose his head, replace me!"

"Okay!" Ding Yu immediately finalized: "You said this yourself, remember, it's only 15 minutes!"

"It's not just to be on the safe side, 10 minutes is enough!" Dai Guangming snorted.

Seeing Dai Guangming's aggressive look, Ding Yu nodded secretly, and then turned to the other players with a stern face: "In the second half of the game, I hope to see you and England attacking each other instead of staying in your own half! From now on, you must forget about that goal and announce that it is a zero-to-zero start for us! You must remember that we have no way out. If we don't win, we will die!"

"Yes!" The players shouted, shaking their fists.

Chi Shangbing and Xu Genbao looked at each other, and they both had the same thought in their minds: "This kid is very courageous and good at inciting players' psychology, but isn't it a bit irrational to do so?"

****************************************
"Keep it, it is absolutely impossible to keep it."

After the players walked out of the locker room aggressively to prepare for the second half, Ding Yu turned to the two assistant coaches and veterans and said, "Although we didn't concede a goal in the first half, it was only because of luck and Wu Bufan's outstanding performance! If Sturridge's header was more secure, and Wilshere's two long-range shots were luckier, we might have fallen behind! Moreover, being pressured like this puts a lot of psychological pressure on the players. The only way to restrain England's offense is to use offense instead of defense through continuous counterattacks! And if I guess right, England will probably strengthen its offense even more in the second half!"

Ding Yu guessed right. The England youth team made a substitution at the beginning of the second half. Manchester United striker Welbeck replaced Everton's right midfielder Gosling. Obviously, in addition to Sturridge, he added a goal point in the penalty area.

"Three forwards? Don't you look down on us too much?" Xu Genbao muttered to himself.

"No, Walcott's best position is the right midfielder. In Newcastle, he seldom plays as a striker, but he was Nie Fei's first substitute. He squeezed Lennon to move to Tottenham last season." Ding Yu shook his head and said, "Now their two wings can still fly together, but there is an extra striker in the middle... The defensive pressure has increased again."

As soon as Ding Yu finished speaking, Matok intercepted Zhang Yi's pass to Long Bisheng on the left, and then dribbled the ball forward for an assist.

Zhang Yi, who was intercepted by the ball, didn't even have time to regret it. He immediately turned around and chased after Mattock. The Leicester left back continued to drive the ball forward, and when Zhang Yi was about to catch up, he distributed the ball to Delphi in front.

Delphi stopped the ball at his feet, looked up and saw that the two strikers in the penalty area were already in place, and immediately raised his foot to pass the ball into the penalty area.

Li Jie restrained Sturridge in the middle to prevent him from jumping, but Sturridge was just a cover. Welbeck, who had just played, received a pass from Delphi at the back point. He evaded Chen Jian's defense with a spike, and then immediately shot!
Wu Bufan made a beautiful pounce. Gao Zhifa immediately rushed over to clear the siege. Long Bisheng and Kelly near the middle circle couldn't touch the ball. Levin got the ball and immediately moved to the right back Hoyt's feet.

Hoyt dribbled the ball around, and then quickly passed the ball to Walcott. England's offense was very fast, and now only Huang Zhenghong was defending the entire left side of the China Youth Team. Jiang Qi had not had time to rush over from the right.

Huang Zhenghong greeted him cautiously, with the idea of ​​slowing down his attacking speed even if he fouled, but Walcott didn't even give him a chance to foul, and directly passed the ball to the baseline, and then accelerated past Huang Zhenghong!
Huang Zhenghong was chasing after Walcott, but the distance was widened by the opponent. He didn't dare to foul in this position-most of the tackles from behind would directly receive a red card!
Fortunately, Hu Gandang had given up on Wilshere to catch up. After catching up with the ball, Walcott immediately dunked the ball back, and then passed the ball back to Wilshere at the front of the penalty area!
"Watch out for his long-range shot!" Wu Bufan shouted, Hu Gandang turned around and rushed to Wilshere without giving up, but Wilshere didn't shoot, but passed the ball straight to Walcott who crossed into the penalty area again!

"Damn it!" Wu Bufan cursed, and then immediately moved to the front, shouting loudly: "Chen Jian! Li Jie! Watch your man, don't let him have a chance to pass the ball!"

After Walcott got the ball, the shooting angle was already very small. In this area, the most threatening thing is the cross pass. Of course, Wu Bufan did not relax his vigilance against Walcott's direct shot. He has blocked the angle. The only possible shooting angle is probably the far corner...

Wu Bufan is very confident in his reaction, even if Walcott can find the only way to the far corner, he can save the ball!As long as Chen Jian and Li Jie don't give the opponent's striker a chance to make up shots...

He just thought of this, Walcott, who was constantly approaching the goal, glanced at the situation in the penalty area, and then suddenly shot!

He shot... close angle!
Wu Bufan, who completely misjudged the opponent's intention, only had time to stretch out his hand, the ball hit his hand hard, and then bounced into the goal...

"Theo - Walcott! GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! A beautiful little angle! Our little Tigers completed the goal with a series of wonderful dribbles and shots! Wilshere's through ball was just right, Walcott's shot is also very good! The Chinese youth team's record of four games without conceding a goal ends here! Their iron bucket formation collapses to the roar of the Three Lions! Long live! England!"

The England commentator's howl pierced the night sky, and the CCTV commentator could only shake his head regretfully: "Our defenders have done their best for this conceded goal. Walcott and Wilshere, the cooperation between these two people is excellent... I hope the boys of the Chinese youth team will not be affected by this conceded goal. After all, it is only a draw. It is not shameful to be scored by Walcott. The little tiger is a regular visitor to the England national team..."

On the court, Walcott cheered and hugged his teammates. Although Walcott had trained with many players of the China Youth Team five years ago, after five years, Walcott would not miss any old friends, let alone he represented England.

"Damn it..." Wu Bufan scolded like this for the third time, but this time he scolded weakly. Of course he was upset that the clean sheet record was terminated, and it was even more upset that he was completely fooled by Walcott's shot, but what can be done?To lose the ball is to lose the ball.

"Let's attack, the coach is right, if you don't win, you will die!" Dai Guangming ran back and said to everyone.
