Chapter 177 Battle in Côte d'Ivoire ([-])
"so?"

Yin Di nodded with a painful face.

"Change your position,"

In fact, professional players have a precise grasp of their own bodies. After many players are injured, they immediately sign to ask for a substitution, and they don't need to be checked by the team doctor, because they know the extent of their injuries.

"Cramp, not a thigh strain, it should be fine," said the team doctor and threw a bottle of sports drink at Yin Di.

Li Guo saw that there was no request for a stretcher to enter the arena, and he felt relieved. After a short pause, the game continued.

*****
After 10 minutes in the second half, Eriksson felt more and more wrong, because whenever he turned his head to look at his own half, a tall player stood there, and he was Ji Ke.

"What the hell is Li Guo replacing him for? It can't be for no reason," Eriksson thought in his heart.

"The most powerful player in the Chinese team must be No. 11. This stupid big guy plays football in China,"

How is the level of the Chinese league?Eriksson doesn't know, but he probably sucks. He really can't think of how much damage Li Guo's substitution will bring to Côte d'Ivoire.
But then another thing happened, which made Eriksson change his mind, because he saw that Chen Gelin's running posture seemed wrong.

Eriksson made a gesture, and the team doctor came over. Professional matters should be left to professional people. He pointed to Chen Gelin, "Is that guy injured?"

The team doctor looked at it, "It seems to be."

Eriksson hummed. He originally thought that the main attack direction of the Chinese team was still Chen Gelin, and the tall man was a cover. If Chen Gelin was injured, then his idea was wrong. In other words, the main attack direction of the Chinese team in the second half was the tall man?

"Li Guo is really cunning!"

Taking advantage of a dead ball opportunity, Eriksson adjusted his defense and asked Toure to mark Ji Ke, "No. 11 is injured, he is a cover, leave him alone."

"is it?"

Toure was very confused, quite confused, because he felt that No. 9 was more like a cover, because the area where Ji Ke was active was far away from the goal, and even a header in that area was not a threat.

But on the football field, players must obey, even if it is wrong, so Toure still obeyed the coach's arrangement.

*****
After 20 minutes in the second half, the Chinese team made another substitution. Hao Junmin replaced Zheng Zhi. Now the two sides of the Chinese team are Hao Junmin and Shen Rui.

In the second half, Côte d'Ivoire had a lot of shooting opportunities, but they were all low-threatening shots, such as long-range shots, or Drogba's long-distance header. There was never a chance to really penetrate the Chinese team's defense.

The players in Côte d'Ivoire became more and more aware that it was not easy to penetrate the Chinese team's defense. In the 25th minute of the second half, Côte d'Ivoire got a free kick in the frontcourt.

Hot Bird No. 10 was swinging the ball, when suddenly a black shadow appeared in front of him, and when he looked up, it was Drogba.

Drogba will take set kicks, but most of them are penalty kicks. Drogba usually does not participate in free kicks, but Drogba, who is eager to score goals, competed with the Heat to take free kicks this time.

Of course Gervinho is upset, but Drogba is the boss of the team, if he wants to play, how dare you not let him?
The Chinese team knew that if Drogba came to take the penalty, it would definitely be a blast!He kicked through the human wall with one kick, so he put a few tough guys in the middle, Zhou Dun, Fang Suo, and Yin Di were in the middle, and the three of them protected their important parts, ready to suffer pain.

After a run-up, a shot, and a bang, Zhou Dun fell down in the wall of the Chinese team. The referee put the whistle in his mouth and was about to suspend the game, but he saw the linesman moving quickly from the corner of his eye.

*****
Ivory Coast's defenders retreated quickly, Chen Gelin was "disabled", and the Chinese team only had one counterattack point - Ji Ke.

Côte d'Ivoire's defensive attention was all on Ji Ke. Hao Junmin looked up and hoisted the ball to Ji Ke.

The three of Côte d'Ivoire competed with Ji Ke at the same time. Seeing this situation, Eriksson was relieved, three defenses and one defense, so what if Ji Ke stopped the ball?
But then Eriksson was dumbfounded. Ji Ke jumped up and kicked the ball to no man's land, "There is no one there!"

Yes, there is no one, but there is no one now, and soon a figure flashed by, as fast as lightning, and when he took a closer look, Eriksson almost cursed out, only to see Chen Gelin running forward at a high speed, where did he look injured?
"Is everything a scam arranged by Li Guo?"

Eriksson broke out in a cold sweat, this Li Guo is such a thief!What a thief!
Because Ji Ke attracted all the defense of Côte d'Ivoire. At this time, Chen Gelin was running without any defense. Chen Gelin had already faced the goalkeeper of Côte d'Ivoire - Barry one-on-one.

Barry played for Lokeren in Belgium. He is also a good goalkeeper with solid basic skills. He fights and retreats. He compresses Chen Gelin's shot angle and creates time for the players to return to defense. But how could Chen Gelin give him such an opportunity.

Glancing at the goal, Chen Gelin kicked and shot the goal. As long as this kind of ball is pushed to the far corner, it will definitely enter within the range of the goal, and there is no need to shoot hard.

*****
"The ball has been scored!!!" Huang Jianxiang shouted excitedly, "Yang Chen, how do you feel?"

"Cool, really cool."

Chen Gelin rushed to the side of the court and made a kneeling celebration. The camera pulled back, and his background happened to be Eriksson.

The Swedes were so angry. Capello said that players often cheat on the court, but he didn't expect to be tricked this time.

To make up for it, Eriksson called Toure over, "You just stare at No. 11, he is tying his shoelaces, and you follow him, the Chinese are too cunning."

Toure nodded, but it seemed that something was wrong?
In order to prevent the players from getting too excited, Li Guo made gestures of pressing down again and again. Now is not the time to celebrate. If you want to celebrate, you should stay after the game.

Soon, the Ivorian players launched several violent hammers against the Chinese team. On the one hand, it was to vent, and on the other hand, Ivory Coast must win the game.

But after the Chinese team scored a goal, the whole line was recovered, leaving only Ji Ke and Chen Gelin, and everyone else defended. The meaning is very clear, I want a point.Because of the current situation in this group, as long as the Chinese team gets one point, everything is possible in the final game.

But Côte d'Ivoire doesn't do it. Their last opponent is Argentina. How can they lose points against the Chinese team?

Tactics are not important now, the important thing is to score goals. Ivory Coast's style of play has suddenly become very simple. They have a magic weapon - Drogba, so let's make a long pass.
