Chapter 200 One Lose One Draw

After warming up, Kong Pengyu returned to the bench and began to change clothes. Together with him was young player Meng Tianjiao.

In the 65th minute of the game, the stalemate on the field was still not broken. The Chinese team made substitution adjustments. Kong Pengyu and Meng Tianjiao came on and replaced Bao Zihao and Xu Wenli.

Bao Zihao's performance in this game was not bad, and he helped his teammates create a few good threats, but Xu Wenli was tortured by the opponent's "mopping-up" midfielder.

Originally, Côte d'Ivoire did not specially arrange defensive players for Xu Wenli, but their coach ordered before the game to "watch out for those who get the ball a lot in the midfield", so that's why the defensive midfielder has such a tireless restriction strategy on him.

The technical characteristics of the newly replaced Meng Tianjiao and Xu Wenli are obviously different, which makes the No. 5 midfielder a little troublesome.

After Meng Tianjiao came up, the idea of ​​dribbling or transferring the ball was very simple, that is, no matter where the ball ended up, he must handle the ball before No. 5 got close.

Xu Wenli may have been used to relying on his own ability in previous games, dribbling breakthroughs, passing threatening balls, etc. He handled the ball very delicately, while Meng Tianjiao handled the ball rough and directly. Anyway, as long as the ball is still under control Just under your own feet.

In the 68th minute of the game, Meng Tianjiao and Di Xiaoliang played a two-for-one match, but they still couldn't get rid of No. 5 completely.

Meng Tianjiao took the ball in the middle and started to speed forward. Knowing that he could not get rid of the indomitable No. 5, he split the ball to Kong Pengyu.

The No. 3 left back in Côte d'Ivoire had some physical problems. Bao Zihao's long-distance sprints in the previous few 10 minutes made him a little tired.

This was convenient for Kong Pengyu. He first accelerated, and then quickly made a pause and kicked the ball back. No. 3 did not stand firm and was swayed by Kong Pengyu's simple handling.

Kong Pengyu slashed towards the penalty area, and quickly met the opponent's No. 4 central defender's supplementary defense, and he stopped in front of Kong Pengyu.

At this time, many ways to deal with it flashed through Kong Pengyu's mind, but in general, the two are the most practical, one is to pass to Meng Hezhou, and the other is to try to explode and shoot the goal.

The third strategy came with Zheng Yubao's back thrust. Kong Pengyu noticed him from the corner of his eye, and heard the sound of him running past. He dialed the ball to avoid the angle and sent the ball forward.

The No. 4 central defender was immediately attracted by Zheng Yubao who was going down at high speed. Because Zheng Yubao was unmarked, the No. 3 behind stood up very hard and did not dare to run, possibly due to injury.

Zheng Yubao passed the ball back to Kong Pengyu in an inverted triangle. Kong Pengyu's posture was to hit the ball without stopping, causing another central defender in the penalty area to fall to the ground to block it, and even the goalkeeper made a save.

When Kong Pengyu's foot was about to touch the ball, he stopped suddenly, stopped the ball, turned to shoot again, pushed the ball to the other side easily, and easily entered the empty goal!
The entire Holy Liberty Arena exploded, and the fans were extremely excited. Kong Pengyu opened up the game for the Chinese team!
When the Chinese team members were celebrating excitedly, the referee was surrounded by the Ivorian players. Two Ivorian central defenders protested to the referee that this was an offside goal.

"Beep!" Amidst the complaints, the voice of the video assistant referee came from the referee's headset. With the popularity of VAR in recent years, more and more controversial balls are decreasing.

First of all, Zheng Yubao's position is indeed higher than that of the No. 4 central defender, but at that time another No. 20 central defender was dragged behind. The key is to see who is in front and who is behind between Zheng Yubao and the No. 20.

"Beep!" The referee blew his whistle again, and returned to the field, leaning his right arm against his face, and raised it straight up. The ball was offside by the Chinese team!
At the moment when Kong Pengyu adjusted the ball and finally sent the ball, Zheng Yubao's body was half more than that of No. 20, which is a pity!
In the 79th minute of the game, after the No. 3 player of the Ivory Coast team was unable to persist in the game, they made a large-scale substitution.

It is certain that the newly replaced players are physically fit, and they continue to implement the basic strategy of high-pressure pressing.

In order to deal with such a strategy, the Chinese team also made timely adjustments. This is a friendly match. When it comes to the real competition, the substitutions cannot be made with so many players at the same time.

Except for the striker and Meng Tianjiao who was just brought in, the players in the other positions of the Chinese team were changed all over again, and both sides used up three substitution opportunities.

In the 83rd minute of the game, Meng Tianjiao and Yu Mai cooperated. After No. 5 left the field, his dribbling could be used.

The two ran side by side on the left, he dribbled the ball on the inside, and Yu Mai waited for him to pass the ball on the side to support.

Facing the two players defending him, Meng Tianjiao dunked the ball to the right, followed by a Marseille spin, passed the ball between them, and then passed the ball to Yu Mai.

While Yu Mai accelerated with the ball, he accelerated towards the penalty area while moving his position further inward.

When he was near the bottom line, Yu Mai passed the ball back to him in an inverted triangle.

His shooting space was blocked, so he could only choose to pass the ball. Kong Pengyu was also approaching the penalty area from the right. He didn't pass to Meng Hezhou in the middle, but passed the ball directly to Kong Pengyu.

Kong Pengyu understood Meng Tianjiao's intention to go forward after passing the ball, so he tiptoed the ball directly, picked the ball into the penalty area, and passed it back to Meng Tianjiao.

However, the Ivory Coast team's goalkeeper, who had not been replaced for a long time, was very concentrated. Before Meng Tianjiao got the ball, he rushed out and hit the ball with a single punch, destroying the last good opportunity of the Chinese team.

In the end, the Chinese team drew 0:0 with the Côte d'Ivoire team, with one loss and one tie in the two friendly matches, ending the national team's schedule.

"Will we still be the same as before?" At the press conference after the game, a reporter asked Cheng Youcheng such a topic.

"What was it like before?" Cheng Youcheng had a serious expression on his face, unlike his usual humorous attitude.

"It's like this, Coach Cheng, I'm also a fan of the national football team. From the perspective of the fans, these two games were played very badly. Fans including me will be against the national football team..."

"Okay, I understand what you mean." Before he could finish speaking, Cheng Youcheng raised his hand to signal him to stop.

"You mean to say that we haven't played well in the last few games, we will continue like this, and the dream of the World Cup will be shattered in more than a year, right?" Looking at the expression on the reporter's face, Cheng Youcheng I think I'm right.

Cheng Youcheng's expression suddenly eased. Such a question is okay. It is not uncommon for fans and reporters to question the performance of the national football team.

"I want to say that every game, our players are serious about doing their best, and winning is the basic goal I set for them." Cheng Youcheng shrugged, "In my opinion, it is because There are wins and losses, there are draws, so football is complete and that's how football should be."

"We are not afraid of losing or losing. We have seen such scenes or more cruel scenes. The players are more eager to win than any of your fans. There is no doubt about their attitude." He added, "If this is the case, then Victory is constant, our dreams are constant, and we will definitely fulfill our dreams."
