Chapter 1941 Attitude is very important

"Xia Xiaoyu transferred a diagonal long pass, and his vision is very wide! He also mastered his footwork very well! Chen Xingyi! He inserted in the back row, and his speed was very fast! Inverted triangle cross! Hu Lai!!"

When Hu Lai was called, He Feng suddenly turned up the volume.

Almost at the same time, the cheers on the scene suddenly increased a bit.

Because everyone saw Hu Lai's running position, and also saw that Chen Xingyi passed the football to Hu Lai.

As long as the ball flies to Hu Lai, Chinese fans will always have a lot of expectations.

These expectations are built by him with one goal after another.

Of course, most of the time, he never disappoints.

This time too!

He headed back and slid the football towards the goal.

Nigeria's goalkeeper Embaba Atuloma is a goalkeeper of a very high level, and he plays for the La Liga team Atlético de Malaga.

Once saved a penalty kick from Meli in the game.

But this time, facing Hu Lai's header like a ping pong ball, he was helpless.

He could only stand in place, his gaze followed the football, and he turned his head halfway to witness the whole process of the football entering the goal...

"Hu Lai! Hu Lai! Ah beautiful! Beautiful! Only three minutes into the game, Hu Lai opened the scoring for the Chinese team! In the case of winning the ball and qualifying, the Chinese team took the lead! Hu Lai's goal It's so crucial, so important!"

After the goal, Hou Lai ran to the corner flag area and made his signature celebration.

The Chinese fans at the scene waited for him to land and shouted in unison:

"HUUUUU!!"

Hu Lai and his teammates laughed and hugged each other.

Luo Kai, who was watching the game from the stands off the field, also gave high fives to the staff around him.

He hopes that the Chinese team can advance to the knockout round. He doesn't care whether Hu Lai scored the goal for him or not, as long as he can have a chance to participate in the World Cup in the end.

So he wants to cheer and celebrate Hu Lai's goal.

※※※

The game between Spain and Italy has just begun, and the ball is under the control of the Spanish players.

The Spanish fans in the Crown Stadium occupy nearly two-thirds, and they are creating a home atmosphere to cheer for the team.

This game is a battle of life and death for Spain.

Even if Juan Ramirez's injury is not healed, it is still wrapped in bandages.

He hopes to inspire his teammates to fight for victory.

As long as Spain can beat Italy, then don't care about the result of another stadium...

At this moment, there was a huge uproar at the Crown Stadium-not boos, but all kinds of shouts mixed together.

The sound was so abrupt that it immediately attracted everyone's attention.

On the bench of the Spanish national team, Joaquin Bella also heard the shouts from the stands.

So he knew that Hu Lai scored and the Chinese team took the lead.

But this score means nothing to the Spanish team.

No matter what the result is over there, the Spanish team must beat Italy in front of them, otherwise don't talk about qualifying.

He put his attention back on the court and focused on watching the game.

Spain, although in possession, could only hold the ball and couldn't find a better chance to penetrate the Italian defense.

In this game, Italy can qualify as long as they draw, so their tactical choices are relatively conservative.

Anyway, judging from the first few minutes of the game, Joaquin Bella could see that Italy was shrinking its defense and placed a bus in its penalty area.

Caesar, who scored the winning goal as a substitute in the last game, did not start.

The news from the Italian team before the game said that Caesar was injured. At first everyone thought it was a smoke bomb from the Italians.

As soon as the starting list came out, it was discovered that Caesar was really not on the list.

Looks like it's really hurt...

This is good news for Spain, at least they only need to think about how to break through the goal guarded by Albertazzi.

※※※

On the Italian bench, central defender Nicolo Serafini listened for a while, and finally caught the voice of the Italian fans keenly amidst the shouts of the Spanish fans. Caesar said: "The Chinese team is ahead! Hu Jin's goal!"

Caesar was also a little surprised: "It's another kick-off from the middle circle?"

"No... I don't know..."

Others on the bench said for him: "No, a header scored. But it is indeed the first attack by the Chinese team!"

Caesar nodded and said nothing more.

In fact, he doesn't care how the Chinese team plays against Nigeria. Anyway, as long as Italy doesn't lose the game, it's fine, of course, it's better to win.

The reason why he was interested just now was because he thought that Hu Lai kicked off the ball again and scored directly from the circle.

Now as long as it is heard that the Chinese team leads the goal at the beginning of the game, Caesar will involuntarily think in that direction.

After hearing that Hu Lai didn't score a kick-off from the middle circle, he was really relieved in his heart - if he scored again, he would really suspect that Hu Lai is not from Earth...

He then turned his attention back to the game in progress.

Spain is organizing an attack, and Campsano and Rosas hit the wall in the middle for two-for-one cooperation.

Then after the football was passed, he swung his foot and shot without stopping the ball!

The football flew up, and there was another very obvious drop!

Bounce on the turf!

It is very difficult to save such a ball, but Albertazzi still flew sideways and blocked the football from the bottom line with a single palm!

"Albertazzi! He has continued his excellent form in this World Cup! So far he has not conceded a goal! Only 23 years old can have such a good performance, and his future is limitless!"

Caesar and his teammates stood up and applauded Albertazzi's save.

※※※

"Zhou Zijing... is here! Wow!"

The commentator He Feng exclaimed, and Zhou Zijing's football headed towards the goal was blocked by the Nigerian goalkeeper Atuloma.

There was chaos in front of the goal, and central defender Daniel Moses wanted to clear the siege immediately, but the kick was empty!

Fortunately, another central defender, Kennedy Homero, quickly kicked the football out!

This lifted the danger in front of Nigeria.

Goalkeeper Arturoma slapped his hands vigorously and reminded his teammates loudly: "Don't panic! Be steady! Withstand their attacks during this period of time! We can do it!"

"After losing the ball, Nigeria was a little flustered. Conceding the goal in the first three minutes was really beyond their expectations... They must recover from this panic as soon as possible, otherwise they will be scored by the Chinese team!"

During this period of time, there are indeed dangers in front of Nigeria's gate, and just now is just a fragment of it.

There are several clips like this in the past ten minutes of the game.

Anxious Nigerian coach Ebubelia Oladebo kept waving his arms and yelling from the sidelines.

Remind the players to calm down.

At the same time, he also made adjustments-stabilize the defense first, and don't continue to lose the ball. The rest will be discussed later.

Now is the time when the morale of the Chinese team is at its peak, and there is no need to head-to-head with the Chinese team.

In his original tactics, he actually let the Nigerian and Chinese teams deal more, mainly to guard against Hu Lai.

But I didn't expect Hu Lai to score in three minutes...

Now Oladebo is very grateful that the tactics he formulated for the team after the opening game were not against the Chinese team, but a solid defense.

Otherwise, within ten minutes, Nigeria's goal will be pierced again...

After the initial panic, Nigeria gradually recovered. They stabilized their defense and began to use the long pass and forward speed to fight the Chinese team's counterattack.

There is a saying that the Champions League is the game with the highest technical and tactical gold content, and the five major European leagues are the hotbed for cultivating advanced tactical thinking.

Relatively speaking, the tactical thinking in the World Cup will be much outdated.

For example, it is already 2030, and the tactic most used in the World Cup is still...defensive counterattack.

This may have something to do with the situation the team is facing.

After all, in a tournament system like the World Cup, there is a high chance of being unpopular. So even if it is a strong team, they dare not take it lightly.

If you have the ability, the defensive counterattack is of course the best. It can not only stabilize the defense, but also hit the opponent behind.

Teams as strong as France and the Netherlands have put up the banner of defensive counterattack in this World Cup.

Of course they also have such qualifications.

For example, the French team relied on Kamara's speed to become a sharp blade to tear apart the opponent's defense.

The Dutch team, on the other hand, relied on the outstanding defensive players represented by Danny Drew and the tight tactical discipline to jointly build an unbreakable city wall.

Nigeria's defense is not too good, but their counter-attack is very good.

On the front line, in addition to Zade Okoye, they also have two fast forwards.

A Highlander named Ibrahim Opoku, who is currently playing for the Premier League, is young, only nineteen years old. But the speed is very fast, the physical fitness is very good, the whole person is like a black missile, and the muscles on the body contain terrifying energy.

Another young, twenty-two-year-old Immanuel Akuwa is also a striker. Although the speed is not as fast as Opoku, it is also very fast, and the technique under his feet is more delicate. He is currently playing the main force in Monaco City, a strong team in Ligue 1. Last season, he scored 15 goals in Ligue 1. He can play as a winger or as a center forward. It is a "hot item" that is being watched all over Europe. This summer, Monaco City is likely to be unable to keep him, and his destination must be in the "Big Four Leagues".

These two extremely fast forwards are combined with Zade Okoye, who is not slow at all.

Nigeria has three arrows at once ~lightnovelpub.net~ It is still very threatening to fight back.

African players have always had enviable physical fitness, which is their talent.

And they squander this talent recklessly.

When the timing is right, they can make their opponents lose ground by rushing and fighting like this. In the end, they will throw away their helmets and armor and lose the battle.

Of course, if the timing is wrong... with the discipline of African players, it is very likely that they will be taken away by the opponent.

Just like the first two rounds of the group stage. Nigeria played Italy in the first round, they responded well, the whole team was united, and they kept a 0:0.

But in the second game against Spain, it may be because the Chinese team can easily beat Spain 3:0. Nigeria rushed in after the first goal, pressed heavily, and besieged the 30-meter area of ​​​​the Spanish team. Instead, the more experienced Spain used the ball to lead the nose around, and finally lost 1:3.

So before this game, Nigeria coach Oladebo has been emphasizing the mentality of the players.

In the World Cup, mentality is very important, a hundred times more important than skills and tactics.
