Godfather of national football

Chapter 120 Counterattack
Before the start of the second half, Tonga's No. 8 striker approached Palu, "Do we really want to listen to that Chinese?"

"why not?"

"Listen, Palu, I know that guy might be good, he's some kind of Olympic gold medal coach, but..."

"But what?"

"Did he teach us football? Isn't football supposed to run around the ball, and he made us run empty."

Palu pointed to number 8 and asked, "Are you a man?"

No. 8 was taken aback, "What do you mean?"

"A man should keep his word. We promised Li Guo to obey."

No. 8 understood and stopped talking. Palu motioned him to run back to his place.

*****
It is worth mentioning that there was no electronic scoreboard at the scene, and it was handwritten. At the beginning of the second half, the scorekeeper stood on the scoreboard representing Samoa. He estimated that Samoa's score had to go up.

At the start of the game, Samoa kicked off in the second half. Two forwards kicked off in the middle circle. One of them passed the ball back to Martinez. Martinez paced around, waiting for the opposing players to swarm.

But the strange thing is that at the beginning of the second half, the Tongan players did not rush to move, but took a zone defense.

"Are the Tongans too stupid to disperse?" Martinez thought, "Then I'll wait."

At this moment, two Tongan players approached Martinez and clamped Martinez, forcing Martinez to pass the ball.

Martinez looked up and was surprised to find that the Tongan players were positioned very reasonably. There were Tongan players on several simple passing routes. Of course, Martinez could also make a long pass to find the striker, but unfortunately he couldn't do it with his skills.

Li Gui just bullies and bullies those who don't know martial arts, but he can't do it when he meets a hero.Seeing that the pass was not good, the opponent came again, and Martinez could only pass back.

But as soon as the ball was kicked, Martinez regretted it. It turned out that Palu was not far away, and Martinez just passed the ball to Palu.

Palu has a good technique. He dribbled the ball forward all the way. Samoa's defense was the same. When the Samoan players rushed towards Palu, Palu flicked his ankle and passed the ball.
Tonga pulled one back and the score became 1-5.

*****
The scorekeeper on the sidelines was stunned, "Tonga can still score a goal?" He thought that the fighting spirit of the Tongans had been blown away by 5-0, but he didn't expect that the Tongans could score in the second half?
What needs to be added here is that the scorer is also the fourth official of the game, and he is neutral.The scorekeeper had to go to the side representing Tonga's score and write 1.

*****
The stadium was boiling, Tongan players hugged each other, and someone shouted: "That Chinese is really amazing."

"He looks like he can do magic."

Palu was afraid that everyone would get carried away, so he reminded: "It's only one goal, we are still far away."

On the side of Samoa, the head coach was taken aback for a moment, and then thought, "It must be a trick, yes, it must be."

Although he also knew that his team was abused by everyone after entering the top 8, but he had to abuse his opponent when he was playing against something like Tonga.

He stood up and called Martinez over, "I know this is not Spain, this is the tropics, but you have to work harder in the second half."

Martinez nodded, but he seemed to think it was not that simple.

"I feel that Tonga seems to be different in the second half. Their level in the second half seems to be at the level of Spain's third division (the fourth league in Spain)."

The head coach almost burst out laughing, "That's better than you."

Martinez blushed because he was not qualified to play in the third league, but had mixed in the regional league below.

The head coach patted Martinez, "Don't think too much, the ball just now was good luck, I understand Tonga football,"

Martinez looked displeased, he didn't want to say more, and played the piano to the cow.

*****
The game continued, Samoa was still the same, and gave the ball to Martinez, but Martinez could no longer pass a threatening ball, coupled with his slow movement, so Martinez was repeatedly shoveled, and the Tongan player also received a yellow card for this.

Seeing the yellow card, the fans at the scene stared wide-eyed, because they seldom see a yellow card. In amateur games, there are not many tackles.

"We actually received a yellow card? It's rare," a male fan in the stands said to himself.

Another person next to him said, "Do you think we will get a red card?" When he said this, he had a happy expression.

The one just now sighed, "How can you be so lucky?"

Fortunately, Li Guo was far away from them and did not hear this shocking conversation, otherwise he would vomit blood.

Five minutes later, Tonga scored another goal, which was exactly the same, pressing Martinez, forcing him to pass back, and then intercepting his return pass to fight back.

As soon as the second goal was lost, the head coach of Samoa couldn't sit still, "Could it be that the Tongans cast some kind of witchcraft during the halftime break?"

Because the local aborigines still retain many primitive beliefs, the head coach of Samoa had to suspect that the Tongans were "playing tricks".

*****
"What's going on, what's going on!"

When Samoa lost the third and fourth goals in a row, the coach turned his anger into a roar, "Did the Tongans take medicine?"

He approached the fourth official to complain, "Referee, I suspect that the opponent has taken medicine, and you have seen it too. Do you believe that the difference between the first half and the second half of a team is so big?"

The fourth official gave him a blank look, "Hehe, taking medicine for this kind of competition? Isn't that a waste?"

The head coach was stunned, and then he said to himself, "That's right."

*****
When Tonga scored a goal to overtake the score, the players rushed to the sidelines and shouted in unison: "Long live Li Guo, Li Guo is our god."

The Samoan players lowered their heads, but suddenly Martinez raised his head and looked over, "Li Guo?" He seemed to have heard this name before.

"Li Guo?"

"Li Guo?"

By the way, isn't he the former Leverkusen and current head coach of the Chinese national team?

Martinez immediately told his head coach, which was fine, and he and the head coach immediately went to the fourth official to complain, "They violated the rules, and they invited foreign aid."

The fourth official yawned and said, "Isn't it a waste to invite foreign aid for this kind of game?"

Martinez suddenly felt like being slapped in the face. He wanted to refute, but he couldn't say anything when he grew his mouth.

In the end, the head coach of Samoa could only sit back obediently, watching the game continue, looking at the 6-5 scoreboard, he missed the 5-0 in the first half very much.
