The strongest winger

Chapter 835 Breaking the dense defense

"Not give up!"

Ai Luo turned his head to look. He really didn't expect that the first to respond would be the 19-year-old Wu Lei who had just replaced Yu Hanchao.

The Chinese players on the court are all men of iron and steel, who bleed but not cry, but after listening to the Chinese fans in the stands singing "Ode to the Motherland" in unison, there is always a feeling of wanting to cry.

Men don't flick their tears easily, but they don't reach the sad point!
With Wu Lei's first statement, the rest of the players also shouted.

With a satisfied smile, Ai Luo placed the ball in the middle circle, and then gathered the players on the field together, and once again formed a circle with their shoulders on their shoulders.

At this time, Ai Luo, as the captain, naturally wanted to say something. He took a serious look at the other ten teammates, and said firmly: "There are still 7 minutes in the regular time of the game, and there should be 10 minutes in stoppage time. And we are behind by two goals. It is very easy to equalize the score. The difficulty lies in the whole process before scoring, so we have to be patient. Think about the tens of thousands of fans who followed us from China to South Africa.

"It's only two balls, it's an egg, do it!!"

Vice-team Feng Xiaoting is from the Northeast. He is very bold and subconsciously blurted out.

Immediately, everyone followed Feng Xiaoting's words and roared loudly: "Two balls, what an egg? Fuck these Serbs!!"

The sudden outburst of Chinese players in a circle was so powerful that it scared many Serbian players.

One of them is Zikic who joined Valencia after Aiello moved to Chelsea. He just joined Valencia and resisted the huge pressure to choose the No. [-] jersey. As a result...he was criticized by the local Valencia fans every day, and finally failed to withstand the pressure. He only scored one goal in [-] games in half a season, making him the title of "parallel importer".

This time, he felt great pressure again.

Stankovic felt the same way. At this moment, he seemed to see Aiello at his peak, the big Arabic numeral 'nine' on the back was extraordinarily dazzling under the light!
With rich experience, he knows that this is not an illusion, but an innate sense of crisis that only exists on the football field.

Standing off the field, Gao Hongbo was brought back to life by the singing of the Chinese fans in the stands. He was having an emergency exchange with his assistant Fu Bo. The score was enlarged when the team just replaced the offensive player.

As for other aspects that still need to be adjusted, the combination of Zheng Zhi, Wu Xi and Zhao Xuri is still good, and the frontcourt Ai Luo, Gao Lin and the young player Wu Lei are also good.

So after the discussion, the assistant coach Fu Bo turned around and told Rong Hao to go to the warm-up area and come back in 3 minutes.

Zhan Jun from the on-site commentary seat felt the singing from the stands, like a spring breeze, extremely comfortable. In the days when he was commenting on the Premier League games, the fans who were behind the team sang and then returned to the team. These examples are really too many. He said excitedly: "Let's listen to the neat singing of the fans in the stands! These fans who came all the way to South Africa to cheer for the national team are really cute. The neat and powerful singing even gave me the illusion..."

※※※

The game restarted, and the Chinese fans sitting in front of the TV clearly felt that the performance of the Chinese team had improved significantly compared to before. The offense was cautious, and the defense was impeccable. Even Sun Xiang, who faced Krasic's successive breakthroughs, was able to keenly perceive the opponent's breakthrough intentions and give a fatal blow.

The performance of the Chinese team is getting better and better, and the cheers from the Chinese fans in the stands are naturally getting louder and louder.

The two complement each other.

The Chinese team's offensive gradually threatened the Serbian goal. Coach Antić frowned and thought about how to make personnel adjustments on the field.

Now the score is 3:1, and there are about 15 minutes left in the game. There is no need to continue the double striker. It is time to replace the defensive player to stabilize the defense...

Two minutes later, China and Serbia made substitution adjustments at the same time. Rong Hao replaced Sun Xiang, whose physical fitness had declined significantly, and Lukovic replaced Jovanovic on the forward line.

Serbia's substitution adjustment also means that they are gradually retreating to the half court and handing over the initiative to the feet of the Chinese team, leaving only one man in front, Zikic, who is tall and strong and can control the ball under his feet.

Stankovic's position also returned from No. [-] to No. [-], forming a three midfielder with Kuzmanovic and Petrovic.

Zhan Jun was surprised by the Serbia substitution and adjusted and exclaimed: "Antic's substitution is absolutely amazing...The central defender Lukovic replaced the striker Jovanovic, according to their current personnel occupancy...Serbia is in May [-]st position, Lukovic, Subotic and Vidic three central defenders, plus Stankovic, Petrovic, and Kuzmanovic in front, there are people inside and outside the penalty area..."

Shen Fangjian added: "Serbia's substitution adjustment is entirely to defend the two-goal advantage!"

Indeed, that’s what Antić thinks. This Serbian team has a very strong defensive ability. The conceded goal against Ghana in the first round was a penalty. There is no way to deal with Aiello’s long-range shot.

In other words, it is impeccable to deal with normal attacks!
Many Chinese fans sitting in front of the TV heard Zhan Jun and Shen Fangjian's analysis, their hearts thumped, and they began to feel uneasy...

The next on-court progress was not much different from the analysis of Zhan Jun and Shen Fangjian. With only a few minutes left in the eighth and 10th minutes of the game, the formation was closed, and the team retreated to the half, completely giving up the initiative to the Chinese team.

As the core of the Chinese team's frontcourt attack, Ai Luo will attract at least four defensive players with the ball, and the Serbian players maintain their positions very well, and there is no room for Ai Luo to pass the ball behind him.

It can be said that except for Zikic who is at the forefront of Serbia, the other nine players returned to their own 30-meter defensive area to defend.

This sensitive area at the frontier of the restricted area has reached an airtight level...

Lineker sighed and said: "Serbia's choice can't be criticized. It is the right choice to defend with 10 minutes left in the game leading by two goals. After all, they can only advance to the top sixteen if they win. Hey..."

At the beginning, he just hoped that China would draw with Serbia and avoid England, his homeland, by taking the second place in the group, but he never thought about knocking out the Chinese team...

※※※

In the blink of an eye, the game time reached the No. 80 minute of the whole game. This time is a very sensitive time period. The players have fought for 10 minutes, and both physical and mental are in a low period.

Of course, this is mutual.

In other words, at this point in the game, we can only rely on willpower to continue fighting, and willpower... has always been a relatively weak link for Chinese players.

Therefore, the commentators in China always feel that it is impossible to equalize the score as the game goes by quietly, because there is still a gap of two goals. Should the equalizer be scored first?

When Aiello takes the ball in sensitive areas, he will always be defended by at least four Serbian players, which makes him give up the idea of ​​​​taking the ball to break through and focus on passing the ball. Unless he is facing two or so Serbian defenders close to the sideline, he will choose to take the ball and break through.

The game time is passing by every minute and every second, and Ai Luo feels more and more that he should stand up at this time. If he doesn't score a goal as soon as possible, then equalizing the score is tantamount to nonsense!

The football was quickly passed to Aiello's feet again, but Serbia's defender followed very fast, and he had to pass the ball back again to continue to mobilize the Serbian defender's running position.

Ai Luo kept thinking when the team lined up to the middle. Facing Serbia's defense must have a novel offensive method, otherwise once the game enters 85 minutes, the fighting spirit of the teammates will gradually be exhausted, and it will be even more difficult to score goals at that time...

Breaking dense defense is a worldwide problem, what should we do?

Long shot?

There are players above and below the penalty area line. Unless it is a high-quality world wave, there is no way to score.

Set ball?
It's a good idea.

Thinking of this, Ai Luo had no choice but to turn his attention back to the competition venue. Anyway, there is not much time left in the competition, and a dead horse is a living horse doctor.

The football passed to Wu Lei's feet on the right. His experience was the same as Ai Luo's before, except that he was facing a much smaller defensive formation, but he also didn't dare to force a breakthrough, so he had to pass the ball to Wu Xi's feet again, and let him control the team's attacking direction in the middle.

Wu Xi received the football about 45 meters away from the Serbian goal in the middle. He didn't take two steps. When he saw Ai Luo approaching and waving for the ball, he passed the ball directly without any hesitation.

"Oh? Ai... asked for the ball!"

Seeing Ai Luo asking for the ball, Lineker felt inexplicably excited!

Aiello got the football about 35 meters away from the Serbian goal, and Stankovic and Petrovic took the initiative to meet it on the right side of the defense.

This time Ai Luo didn't pass the ball out, but moved the ball forward lightly, the center of gravity of the upper body shook quickly + pedaled a bicycle!
Stankovic and Petrovic didn't know Ai Luo's intentions, so they had to choose left and right to fight and retreat.

The moment they retreated, Ai Luo suddenly flicked the ball to the right with the outer instep of his right foot, accelerating the breakthrough laterally!
At this point in the game, no matter who it is, there is an obvious decline in physical fitness. Petrovic, who is close to the middle, stretches his legs a little slower, and kicks Ai Luo's supporting foot firmly...

"Beep~!"
