Chapter 1904 That Young Figure

When Zhou Zijing raised his hand in front of the penalty area to ask for the ball, Yao Huasheng posted it.

After receiving the ball, Zhou Zijing forcibly turned around facing Yao Huasheng's defense.

Yao Huasheng bumped into it, trying to interfere with Zhou Zijing's possession of the ball.

But after his body bumped into Zhou Zijing, he lost his steps. He stumbled and followed two steps, but was thrown away by Zhou Zijing.

However, Zhou Zijing also failed to complete the shot.

Although he got rid of Yao Huasheng, Qin Qi, who was rushed over, saw the timing and shoveled the ball away.

Then he got up from the ground and pulled Yao Huasheng who had fallen to the ground: "Be careful, Team Yao."

Yao Huasheng slapped his hand off, and got up from the ground by himself: "I'm not that fragile!"

Qin Qi scratched his head.

Team Yao really did what he said, and he didn't show him any good looks during training, completely treating him as a competitor.

Xia Xiaoyu, wearing a red vest, made a long pass from the backcourt and directly passed the football to the left winger Li Rong.

Because it was a quick counterattack, the frontcourt was very empty.

Therefore, Li Rong did not dribble along the sideline, but dribbled the ball diagonally into the penalty area.

Seeing this, Qin Qi, who was wearing a blue vest, wanted to rush forward to have a showdown with Li Rong, but was stopped by Yao Huasheng from behind: "Keep your distance!"

At this time, Li Rong was half a field away from the goal. Even if he was counterattacked, the central defender, who was the last line of defense in front of the goalkeeper, really didn't need to go up so hard.

If Qin Qi let Li Rong pass by, then only Yao Huasheng and Ding Yuanhai, two central defenders, would be left behind.

Then Yao Huasheng had to wipe Qin Qi's ass, which was equivalent to letting Ding Yuanhai face Zhou Zijing and Luo Kai alone.

Qin Qi, who was yelled at by Yao Huasheng, stopped in time, and fought and retreated about five or six meters away from Li Rong.

This distance makes Li Rong a little uncomfortable - if he wants to get up to speed, he has to wade the football out. But this distance would allow him to bring the football just within Qin Qi's control.

You must know that although Qin Qi is a central defender, his speed is not slow at all, so Li Rong actually doesn't have much confidence to race against Qin Qi five or six meters behind Qin Qi.

It's too late... There is no way to speed up, so I can only fall into Qin Qi's rhythm of fighting and retreating.

With his hesitation, the speed of counterattack slowed down.

Ou Yangjin, the defensive midfielder of the blue team, has quickly chased back and retreated to the position of central defender in one breath.

Yao Huasheng shouted at the central defender: "It's done!"

Qin Qi who got the signal suddenly accelerated to grab!

His starting speed was very fast, which caught Li Rong by surprise.

The latter was still observing the running positions of his teammates, but the corner of his eye suddenly went dark!

After he reacted, Qin Qi had already killed him.

He made another hasty move and moved the football to the side, planning to break through along the sideline.

But just as he pushed the football away, people couldn't keep up because he was pushed in and knocked away by Qin Qi...

After Qin Qi squeezed away Li Rong, he protected the football.

Li Rong was behind him and tried to grab back, but he was inferior to Qin Qi in terms of physical confrontation and long legs. He could only watch Qin Qi pass the football back to Yao Huasheng who stepped forward to meet him.

While the football was rolling towards Yao Huasheng, he had already pointed to the sideline, signaling Qin Qi to pull away there.

After all, Zhou Zijing and Li Rong were running towards him one after the other.

After Qin Qi pulled away, he passed the football over.

At the same time, he shouted to Qin Qi: "Long pass!"

But Qin Qi didn't listen to him this time. At this moment, there were no red team players in front of Qin Qi, so instead of making a long pass, he suddenly dribbled the ball forward!

"This choice is good!"

Jorge Dillon, who saw this scene on the sidelines, couldn't help but praise.

Qin Qi first dribbled the ball along the sideline, and then faced the red team player Guo Junfu who was coming up to intercept him, he feinted a shot.

Pretending to continue to break through along the sidewalk, after guiding Guo Junfu's center of gravity to that side, he then used the outside instep of his left foot to shift the football to the middle, changing direction and inserting diagonally.

Then, taking advantage of his height and long legs, he stabbed the football to Zhang Qinghuan before Xia Xiaoyu could grab it.

After passing the ball, Qin Qi didn't retreat, but simply accelerated towards the red team's penalty area.

"Beautiful!" Dillon exclaimed again.

Qin Qi, who was near the red team's penalty area, was like a big catfish that suddenly broke into a fish pond, causing a lot of trouble for the red team's defense—for a while, neither Wang Guangwei nor Liu Yan knew who to blame. Go up to guard against Qin Qi?

In the end, it was Liu Yan who went up to try to block Qin Qi. After all, Wang Guangwei's defensive task was heavier - he was responsible for defending Hu Lai.

It can move the whole body with one hair.

After Liu Yan went up, there was a loophole in the red team's defense in the penalty area.

Zhang Qinghuan accurately found this loophole and passed the football over.

The ball was not passed to Hu Lai, but to Hu Lai's striker partner Tan Yunlong!

Hu Lai helped him firmly attract Wang Guangwei, and Liu Yan, who was supposed to defend him, went to defend Qin Qi again.

So Tan Yunlong swung his foot and shot without anyone marking him!

The football rolls from goalkeeper Duke's hand into the goal!

"nice shot!"

After scoring the goal, Tan Yunlong waved his fist excitedly, and then everyone went up to give him high fives, congratulating him on his goal.

Although it is only a team training game, the performance in the game will also become an important reference for coaches when selecting players.

After all, during the domestic training camp, there was only one actual battle with real knives and guns, which was the warm-up match against the US team on May 31.

That game was more like a final exam, but it was not the only way to determine the final fate of a player. The usual test performance was equally important.

Although in domestic football, Tan Yunlong is the only choice for the position of high center forward besides Zhou Zijing. But he didn't dare to take it lightly.

This goal may help him consolidate his position in the national team squad.

Head coach Jorge Dillon, who was watching from the sidelines, also applauded the goal.

But he was not applauding Tan Yunlong, but praising Qin Qi's performance:

"That forward move was really decisive and resolute. A central defender who plays football in China lacks such courage, confidence, and awareness!"

After Tan Yunlong scored a goal, Yao Huasheng watched Qin Qi go up to give him a high five in celebration from the backcourt.

He remembered that just now he had asked him to pass a big-footed long pass and it was over.

In the end, Qin Qi didn't listen to him, but chose the very risky move of dribbling forward.

Finally made a goal.

At the beginning of the defense, Qin Qi listened to his own words and completed a perfect defense.

Later, Qin Qi didn't listen to his own words, but made a goal instead.

Yao Huasheng looked at the young figure in the distance and shook his head slightly.

The Shanhai Peace Stadium was full of voices.

The stands of the stadium, which can hold 80,000 people, were packed to the brim.

Chinese fans are constantly shouting: "Come on, Chinese team! Come on, Chinese team!"

The real-time score displayed on the big screen in the stadium was that the Chinese team led the US team 1:0.

This is the last warm-up match played by the Chinese team in China before the World Cup.

Their next warm-up match is going to Spain to play, and there will be only a few days before the opening of the World Cup.

This warm-up match was actively contacted by the opponent, the American Football Association. They hoped to play a warm-up match with the Chinese team when they went to Spain.

This is because the opponent of the US team in the group stage of this World Cup is the South Korean team.

This pair of "father and son" was assigned to a group for two consecutive World Cups, which is also fate.

Judging from the FIFA rankings, the U.S. team ranks higher than the Chinese team, with one at 26 and the other at 31.

It seems that the US team should be stronger.

But now in the game, it is the Chinese team leading by one goal.

The last "China-US confrontation" was actually the Olympic Games two years ago. But that's an Olympic level game.

The two sides only have three overage players in each team.

In that Olympic team final, the Chinese Olympic team almost crushed the US Olympic team, and they also won the first men's Olympic gold medal in history.

But the Olympic team and the national team cannot be simply compared.

The Olympic teams can crush each other, but it doesn't mean that the national team can also.

So in today's game, the Chinese team only scored a goal in the second half.

For this ball, there is still some luck-at that time, Hou Lai's shot hit the opponent's defender Aiden Rudy and was deflected.

As a result, the goalkeeper of the US team, Milano Todd, was unable to react in time when he made a save. He just blocked the football with his fingers, but he couldn't completely control it.

The football saved by him landed in front of the goal. The starting center Tan Yunlong in this game stabbed the football into the goal without anyone marking him.

In this warm-up match, Dillon did not send all the main players in the starting lineup, but adopted a substantial counter-rotation.

For example, Zhou Zijing did not start, and Tan Yunlong replaced him.

Zhang Qinghuan did not start either, and Guo Junfu replaced him.

The U.S. team didn't have all the main players honestly. They even messed up the numbers of the players on the field.

The starting striker wears the No. 2, while the central defender Aiden Rudy, who caught Hu Lai’s shot and caught the goalkeeper by surprise, wears the No. 10 jersey, which symbolizes the core of the organization...

It seems to be afraid of being spied on by South Korean scouts and coaches.

After all, South Korea and China are neighboring countries, and it is very convenient to come and watch a game.

The Chinese team is also wearing numbers indiscriminately, except for Hu Lai.

The main reason is that he is too famous to hide it with another number.

Both sides did not have all the main players, and the FIFA rankings are relatively close, so this warm-up match is still very stalemate.

After a 1-0 lead in the first half, Jorge Dillon made major adjustments to the team's lineup in the second half.

Even Hu Lai was replaced.

The U.S. team took advantage of the absence of Hu Lai to launch a fierce attack on the Chinese team's goal, hoping to score a goal.

This period of time is very dangerous for the Chinese team.

At this critical moment, the Chinese team coach Dillon is of course going to strengthen the defense.

He turned around and said to Qin Lin who was sitting on the coach's bench, "Qin, go and call Xiao Qi."

Qin Lin was a little bit taken aback, he didn't expect that Dillon would choose to let his son play.

"What?" Dillon asked more when he realized that Qin Lin didn't go there immediately.

"No." Qin Lin quickly turned around and went to the bench.

Then he walked up to his son and hooked him: "Get up, it's your turn to play."

Qin Qi looked up at his father, seemed surprised too, and didn't react at all.

Until he felt someone beside him elbow him.

As if he hadn't recovered yet, he turned to look at Yao Huasheng who stabbed him beside him.

Yao Dui saw that he was still turning his head to look at him, so he raised his eyes and asked, "Why? Are you not going because you want to give me this opportunity?"

Hearing what Yao Huasheng said, Qin Qi finally came to his senses. He immediately stood up, took off his vest, and followed his father to head coach Dillon to take orders.

Behind him, Yao Huasheng was staring deeply at that impatient figure.

PS, overnight, all Asian teams were eliminated.

In 120 minutes, the Japanese team actually played pretty well.

Perhaps it is because of this that people have too high expectations. As a result, who would have thought that their performance in the penalty shootout would be so hip, which formed a strong contrast with their performance in previous games.

So much so that I wonder if Little Japan has not specially practiced penalty kicks?

Are they confident that they can solve Croatia in 120 minutes, or will they be solved by Croatia?

This penalty kick is too amateur, right?

No, it's not as good as the performance of the amateur team in the FA Cup before!

As for South Korea...

It's a happy loss!

Cool!

Brazil played really well in the first half.

It's a pity that after leading by four goals, he relaxed~lightnovelpub.net~ But it's also human nature, and there is no way to force it.

There were also South Korean fans holding signs to remind the Brazilian team not to forget the 7-1 match against Mineiro in 2014, but South Korea's Sebastian put their national team ahead of the 7...

I really don't know who gave them confidence and courage.

As a result, you have been taught a lesson, right?

deserve it!

Morocco and Spain have no suspense in the last two games of today's quarter-finals. Spain will definitely win, and it will win by at least two goals.

But there is some suspense in the last game, Portugal vs Switzerland.

Ronaldo must be hopeless. After playing three games in the World Cup, it is obvious that Ronaldo is not in shape and his physical condition is not good. But Ronaldo has to be on... who dares to put him on the bench?

And what about Switzerland? Good defense and tenacity.

So I am optimistic that Switzerland will beat Portugal by one goal and advance to the quarterfinals.

As for Ronaldo, tomorrow morning will be his last dance on the World Cup stage...
