Godfather of national football

Chapter 322

Pique made a clearance at the front point, but the speed of the ball was too fast, and Pique actually kicked a flaw and flew towards his own goal.

Pique broke out in a cold sweat, and turned his head to see that Cassie hugged the ball at the near post, making a false alarm.

This is the characteristic of Cassie, the focus on the game, the prediction of the ball path, if it is another goalkeeper, it is estimated that Pique will be cheated.

Cassie was about to throw the ball to launch a fast attack, but Chen Gelin went up to block it, but the Spanish team failed to make a fast attack.

*****
By the 15th minute of the game, Spain had 75% possession of the ball, which is about the same as Barcelona's possession rate in the Champions League, which has always been the highest.

Having not been able to get the ball for a long time, Chinese players have been in a state of being "walked", running around, but they are all mobilized by their opponents.

The average level of the team will gradually lose resistance, and the loopholes in the defense will become bigger and bigger, but the Chinese team does not, and the defense has never revealed too many loopholes.

Busquets took the ball in the midfield, Iniesta ran past him, Professor Bu passed the ball straight, Xiaobai touched the ball with the back of his foot, and unloaded the ball with ease.

Zheng Zhi observed in advance that Pedro on the other side was plugging in, and Iniesta could pass the ball through.

So Zheng Zhi stepped forward to block, and Iniesta touched the ball with his right foot and was about to pass the ball, but because of Zheng Zhi’s block, he changed his mind, kicked his arch, and passed the ball to his left foot with his right foot.

Iniesta used "fried meatballs" to pass through the closed defense of Zheng Zhi and Fang Suo, and there was an open field in front of the penalty area.

This seems to be too easy for Iniesta, there is no defensive pressure, and his teammates all ran out of space.

Iniesta flicked his instep and passed the ball to Mata on the left. Mata stopped and passed, and missed Mu Fei with one movement, and volleyed directly from a small angle.

With a slight outward arc, the ball went straight to the goal. Wang Dalei jumped up to save, but he couldn't reach it, and the ball flew into the net.

1:0.

Spain took the lead.

After the goal, Mata ran to Iniesta and knelt down on one knee. Iniesta raised one foot. Mata did a shoe-cleaning action for Iniesta. This is a kind of tribute, which means that Iniesta passed the ball too well.

The key to this goal is that the Chinese team's double midfielders did not catch Xiaobai when they closed the door. Zheng Zhi and Fang Suo also discussed together, what should they do if they encounter such a situation next time.

The players of the Chinese team were not very upset, because the goal was convincing, and the opponent's offense advanced layer by layer, completely tearing through the Chinese team's defense.

Li Guo just applauded and asked everyone to pay more attention, "Pay attention, don't concede the ball in a row, don't have the same situation as in the Uruguay game."

*****
Barcelona's midfield is basically crazy, and Spain is the same. Although the Chinese team pays attention to protecting each other and supporting each other, the crazy rush of Spain's midfield still makes it impossible for Chinese players to pass the ball.

One of the main reasons why Wang Dalei frequently appeared on camera in this game was that his teammates often had no choice but to pass back to the goalkeeper.

When Spain is attacking, the possession of the ball makes you unable to grab it, and when you have the ball, the Spanish players swarm you like mad dogs, which makes you uncomfortable. This is why playing against Spain is so tiring.

Li Guo knew that something would happen to the return goalkeeper sooner or later, because the goalkeeper in a team has the worst footwork and is prone to mistakes.

Sure enough, Wang Dalei really made a mistake. When he opened his big kick, he kicked a flaw and kicked directly at Torres' feet. Fortunately, Torres' feet were also soft, and his lob shot was also high.

Li Guo asked Zhou Dun to withdraw, in front of Wang Dalei, and pass the ball back to Zhou Dun, not to Wang Dalei, at least Zhou Dun can control the ball.

But soon, Mata and Pedro went to grab Zhou Dun, and the Spanish team wanted to block all opportunities for the opponent to get the ball.

In the face of Mata's rush, he dunked with the soles of his feet and passed Mata. The audience applauded like a wave. This action is too chic.

Then Zhou Dun kicked the ball towards the Spanish half with a big kick. Everyone thought Zhou Dun was making a clearance, but suddenly someone came in from his own half. Li Guo saw it, and it was Chen Gelin.

Chen Gelin started the ball later, so there is definitely no possibility of offside. Alba is the closest to Chen Gelin in the fastest pursuit. It was impossible for him to catch up with Chen Gelin, but it was very difficult for Zhou Dun to unload the 50-meter pass.

It was just this second delay, Alba and Chen Gelin were already side by side, they were pushing each other side by side, Chen Gelin knew that squeezing past was a one-handed move, so he continued to accelerate, but Alba's speed was also very fast, he suppressed Chen Gelin.

Cassie is hesitating whether to attack, will it be a disservice?

In the end, Cassie decided to attack!

"I come!"

Alba ran towards the goal and gave Chen Gelin to Casey.

Facing Casey, Chen Gelin was going to pass his opponent, but Casey seemed to have read Chen Gelin's intention in advance. The moment Chen Gelin changed the line, Casey fell to the ground at the same time and pressed the ball on the lawn.

"What a pity," Li Guo sighed.

The players of the Chinese team also cursed in their hearts, the goal was a little bit close, as long as it passed, it would be an empty goal, and Cassie's prediction seemed to be false.

Chen Gelin had no regrets, but gave Zhou Dun a thumbs up in the distance, saying that the pass was awesome.

The Spanish players ran back and high-fived their captain Cassie. Cassie has been the last Optimus Prime of the Spanish defense at every critical moment in the past few years. In the World Cup final in South Africa, if Cassie hadn't saved Robben's one-handed goal, Iniesta's lore in overtime would not have been there.

The head coach Bosque stood up. He saw the sharpness of the Chinese team. Although the Chinese team was not good in the midfield, the long pass was very powerful. If the pass can be successful once out of 10 times, that would be great.

Ramos was definitely going to assist, so Bosque arranged for Pique to focus on Chen Green. Bosque saw that the most sharp counterattack point of the Chinese team was Chen Green.

Pique stood beside Chen Gelin and looked at each other, and Chen Gelin also looked back at Pique. Both of them understood that in the subsequent games, the two were on the same level.

Mata and Zhou Dun were also on the same bar. Just now when Zhou Dun passed Mata, Mata lost all face. Mata secretly made up his mind that he must pass Zhou Dun, and treat him in his own way.

Zhou Dun glanced at Mata, his eyes were full of disdain and murderous intent.
