Chapter 264 Habitual Crash

Ding Yu looked at the England players celebrating on the field with a straight face. To some extent, this goal proved the correctness of his judgment - defense alone cannot be defended.But in any case, Ding Yu is unwilling to use this method to prove his correctness.

Conceding the ball at the beginning of the second half was something that Ding Yu did not expect. Fortunately, during the intermission, he had already decided on a strategy to strengthen his offense. If he chose to defend, being equalized so early would definitely cause confusion among the players...

Now what he can do has been done at halftime, and the next thing to do is to see how far his players can do offensively.

He watched Dai Guangming run back and picked the ball from the goal and kicked it forward. Seeing Long Bisheng jump up to catch the ball and put it on the kick-off spot, he felt a little relieved-at least, the players did not lose their fighting spirit because of the loss of the ball, and they still had the desire to attack!
This is very important.

5 minutes after the game restarted.

"The breaking of the clean sheet record didn't affect them at all?" Pierce watched the game with great interest: "That Ding Yu has trained this team well. This kind of mental state is very rare."

Pierce is a little envious of the courage and fighting spirit shown by the Chinese youth team at this time. The English team has never lacked strength, but their psychological fragility is also a major chronic problem. How many times they have failed in penalty shootouts in world competitions. It has to be explained that the English team often has a habitual psychological breakdown before the penalty shootout begins.

After he took office, he injected a tough factor into England's youth teams at all levels. However, in the face of the pressure of the big competition, sometimes the players' psychology is too fragile-Pierce also has a deep feeling for this.

But Pierce doesn't think his team will collapse in front of the middle-aged and young teams-no matter how fragile England's psychology is, it will only collapse against some strong teams, such as Germany and Portugal, or against teams that he has not won for a long time, such as Sweden.

Dai Guangming took the ball in the middle, but he couldn't find a way to pass the ball. Jiang Qi and Hu Gandang behind him paid more attention to protection. Under Hoyt's tight marking, Zhang Yi and Mattok were entangled. Long Bisheng in front resisted the opponent's two defenders asking for the ball.

So he decided to go it alone, and when he saw Tomkins rushing towards him, Dai Guangming remembered what Ding Yu said during the intermission.

"Is a defensive midfielder who has changed from a central defender to a defensive midfielder that much of a threat to you?"

Although both the central defender and the defensive midfielder are mainly defensive, their responsibilities on the field are not the same. Even in defense, the focus of the two is different.

When the defensive midfielder is defending, it cuts off, hinders, and delays. The defense of the central defender is to try to steal the ball as the first element, and the second is to block the opponent's direct shot. The defensive midfielder who is used to playing the central defender may not be too good, but the central defender who is used to playing the defensive midfielder will be more secure.

Now Tomkins' pounce is a bit risky. He is far away from the defense line. If Dai Guangming can break through him...

"Beautiful! Facing Tomkins who was rushing forward, Dai Guangming used a Marseilles turn to dodge his tackle! After passing Tomkins, Dai Guangming can directly face the defense of the England youth team!"

It was already risky for Pierce to use two central defenders to stare at Long Bisheng. He replaced Gosling with Welbeck and took this risk to the extreme. Although Gosling had no bright spots in offense, he was the only midfielder who could help Tomkins defensively. After he left the field, Wilshere was still young and could not help defensively.

Dai Guangming moved forward with the ball, and Tomkins chased after him in embarrassment. Seeing that Dai Guangming was about to reach the front of the penalty area, Levin never dared to let him go, and rushed out from the penalty area. At this moment, Dai Guangming flicked his foot and sent the ball into the penalty area!
Long Bisheng got the ball in the penalty area!
Kelly used his breastfeeding strength to squeeze Long Bisheng, but he still couldn't squeeze. Seeing that Long Bisheng was about to turn around and shoot, in desperation, Kelly suddenly withdrew his body and flew across in front of Long Bisheng!

He made the right bet, Long Bisheng just turned around and shot at this moment, the ball hit Kelly's leg and bounced into the air, Bhutto jumped high and caught the ball.

"Good work, Martin!" Levin ran back and pulled Kelly up, but Kelly was still in shock. Only he knew how risky his bet was. If Long Bisheng didn't shoot at that time, he would automatically give up defense. Fortunately, he was right.

"Damn it, it missed again."

Long Bisheng said to Dai Guangming with a smile while running back, the corners of Dai Guangming's mouth twitched twice, and he laughed, of course he knew that what Long Bisheng said was actually a very famous joke.

On Long Bisheng's face, Dai Guangming couldn't see a trace of remorse for losing a chance to score a goal—I don't know when, the mental quality of this big man with the worst football level in the same dormitory has reached such an excellent point!Perhaps it is because his experience is far richer than that of his peers. After all, not every young player is like Long Bisheng, who has already changed three or four different clubs at the age of 20.

Bhutto threw the ball to attack, Mattok got the ball from the left, Zhang Yi pushed forward, Mattok used his speed to break through, and then passed the ball directly to Wilshere in the middle, facing Hu Gandang who came up to defend and Jiang Qi who was ready to fill in at any time, Wilshere did not choose to break through, but gave the ball to Walcott on the right.

Jiang Qi immediately moved across to prepare to fill in—this is what he has been doing in this game, mainly to fill in for Huang Zhenghong—it is still too difficult for him to keep an eye on Walcott.

Walcott returns the ball - Wilshere catches it again, gets out of the way and shoots a powerful long-range shot from outside the box!
Wilshere is recognized in England as similar to Gerrard - one of Gerrard's outstanding long-range shooting abilities, and Wilshere is no exception.

Wu Bufan didn't dare to be negligent, he punched the ball out with both fists, Welbeck appeared at the spot where the ball landed, and took a shot in front of Chen Jian!

The ball flew towards the empty goal, and when all the Chinese fans were exclaiming, a figure appeared in front of the goal, snatching the ball before it hit the net!

Li Jie made a contribution!He accurately judged the situation on the field, gave up defending Sturridge and rescued the shot!
The exclamation from the stands where the Chinese fans were was turned into cheers, this clearance was worth a goal!
There was a sigh from the England bench. Neither their assistant coach nor the substitute players expected that the Chinese youth team would be so difficult-it was already No. 70 minutes of the game, and the score was still [-]-[-]!Originally they thought it was an easy game...

"Just now their striker and two midfielders still didn't return to defense..." What Pierce noticed was another problem: "Are they still thinking of resolving the battle within 10 minutes?"

Pierce looked at the field suspiciously - he was not mistaken, England was still attacking now, but the three offensive players of the China Youth Team - the center Long Bisheng, the attacking midfielder Dai Guangming, and the left midfielder were cruising around the midfield and did not participate in the defense.

"Attack! Get ahead of them and score a goal!" Pierce stood up and shouted into the court-do you want to score?Let's show you the goal first!
England's offense, instructed by Pierce, became a bit more violent, and the long pass transfers from the two wings were launched frequently, which made Jiang Qi exhausted, so he and Hu Gandang took turns to assist the defense on the two wings, whoever was closer would go, and the other was responsible for defending Wilshere.

Although doing so can save energy, it relaxes the defense against Wilshere. The 17-year-old teenager began to become active, constantly testing Wu Bufan's reaction nerves with long shots in the middle.

Fortunately, after losing the ball, Wu Bufan realized his shame and acted bravely. He performed very well and made wonderful saves in a row. The three offensive players also effectively contained the opponent's attack. The continuous counterattacks always made England's defense tense.

The time passed by every minute and every second, and it was almost time for No. 805 minutes of the game, and the score was still one to one.

The last thing Pierce wanted to see happened - in such a stalemate in the game, England's players began to become impatient - this opponent is too tenacious!The offense has not been able to take the lead so far, but they have been threatened by their counterattacks. The game will be over soon, should we still take a penalty kick?
England's memories of penalty kicks have not been good...

At this time, the China Youth Team launched a counterattack again!

This time, Hu Gandang's pass from the backcourt was very accurate. Long Bisheng jumped up near the middle circle. Kelly wanted to jump up, but his foot slipped and fell to the ground weakly!
He had consumed too much energy in the physical confrontation with Long Bisheng.

Long Bisheng stopped the ball with his chest, then half-turned to face the goal, and started striding forward!
Levin tried his best to interfere with him, and Mattok also moved over to defend him. At this time, Long Bisheng passed the ball back to Dai Guangming behind him, and Dai Guangming immediately sent a through ball!
Zhang Yi plugged in along the sidewalk, unguarded single-handedly!

England's defenders stopped weakly and watched Zhang Yi push the ball into the goal after approaching Bhutto!
