Chapter 1960 kicks open

"Peter got the ball!"

Peter Williams, with "PETER.W" printed on the back of his jersey, received the ball from Johnson Law, the team's right back, and made a stance to break through with the ball in a straight line, tricking him into defending him in the front Ou Yangjin retreated quickly.

As a result, he took a step back only to find that the other party was standing still, and he slammed on the brakes.

It's just that it's too late to jump up again, his body is in a state of stiffness, and he hasn't recovered so quickly.

He could only watch Pete swing his right leg, and then pass the football... into the penalty area!

Eh?

pass? !

Ou Yangjin's hairs stood on end - he thought Pete Williams would shoot directly from long range, but he didn't expect it to be a pass!

Honestly, he'd rather have Pitt shoot straight from long distance than pass the ball.

Because his back is facing the penalty area, he doesn't know what's going on behind him. If Pete is passing the ball, it means that the Chinese team's defense must be empty!

"Cross from Pete at a forty-five degree angle!"

Wang Guangwei moved laterally from the middle and rushed to the right rib space in the penalty area.

At the last step, he rushed up with a stride, and at the same time stretched out his legs, blocking in front of Marvin Stones!

Then, he felt the football hit his calf!

"Wang Guangwei! Oh oh oh! Key defense! He was in position at the most critical moment, and then stretched his legs to block Stones' shot!"

When He Feng said that, Yan Kang next to him let out a sigh of relief.

When he saw Pete Williams suddenly rubbing a pass in the penalty area, his heart really hung up.

Afraid of losing the ball at the start...

For the Chinese team, the remaining games will be difficult to play.

Wang Guangwei, who made a key defense, did not blame his teammates for missing such a big space, but raised his hands to those teammates who were still in shock, and shouted: "Steady, don't panic!"

※※※

Ten minutes into the game.

During this period of time, the goal of the Chinese team has been under tremendous pressure.

Unlike other strong teams, the England team did not adopt a defensive counterattack strategy.

On the contrary, from the beginning of the game, they were very active in possession of the ball, and then based on this, they continued to put pressure on the Chinese team's goal.

Marvin Stones' kick wasn't England's first chance of the game.

Prior to this, the England team had threatened the Chinese team's goal with Jay Adams' long shot.

When the football flew out of the bottom line, it was only about a dozen centimeters away from the goal post of the Chinese team.

It scared many Chinese fans into a cold sweat, and they exclaimed in the stands and in front of the TV.

The situation this time is also very dangerous. If Wang Guangwei did not appear in time to block Stones' shot, Lin Zhiyuan might face a real test...

"Stones missed a great opportunity!"

The England commentator Matthew Cox in the commentary shouted regretfully.

"Wang Guangwei previously played for Eldrea in Serie A, and he has already decided to move to Vesuvio. He is also the most famous and powerful player in the Chinese team's back line... Generally speaking, the Chinese team is still strong offensively and weak defensively Yes, Wang is not only the highlight of the Chinese team's defense, but it may also be the breakthrough point..."

Cox introduced Wang Guangwei to England fans.

Because Eldrea did not participate in the European war during the four seasons he played for Wang Guangwei, England fans may not know much about Wang Guangwei.

Many of them may have seen Wang Guangwei's game for the first time until today...

From the data point of view, in fact, the defense of the Chinese team led by Wang Guangwei performed well. So far in this World Cup, they have only conceded a total of two goals.

Few teams have conceded fewer goals than them in the entire group stage - apart from Italy, Brazil and Croatia who conceded zero goals, Switzerland and Germany, which only conceded one goal, performed better than them.

However, these teams are stronger than the Chinese team.

Italy and Switzerland are more focused on defense, so it makes sense that they conceded fewer goals.

The data seems to be inconsistent with everyone's general feeling that the Chinese team is "strong in offense and weak in defense".

The reasons for this are complex.

It is a very important factor for the players of the Chinese team to be united in defense. In addition, their defense did not encounter too much test after the group stage, which is also a reason that cannot be ignored.

Italy focused on defense, while Spain was notoriously weak.

The Nigerian striker has strong personal ability, but lacks effective organization. The whole team was suppressed by the fierce offensive of the Chinese team.

Therefore, the performance of only conceding two goals definitely cannot represent the true strength of the Chinese team's defense.

※※※

After defending Stones' shot, Wang Guangwei called his teammates to prepare to defend the corner kick.

In fact, the players of the Chinese team know what strategies and tactics England will adopt.

Because before that, Dillon's coaching staff told them that England will take the initiative to attack in this game.

After all, in the previous three group matches, England played like this.

Even ordinary fans can see it. If Dillon and his coaches can't see it, then the annual salary of more than 10 million yuan will be for nothing.

However, England's aggressive attack at the beginning was somewhat beyond the expectations of the Chinese players.

This is also one of the reasons why the Chinese team did not have the upper hand on the scene ten minutes after the start of the game.

After the corner kick was taken, England centre-back George Birx took the point and slammed the football into the goal.

Fortunately, Lin Zhiyuan's position was very good this time, and he raised his hand directly to lift the football off the crossbar.

"Lin Zhiyuan! The first effective save in this game! The England team won consecutive corner kicks!"

"The England team's offensive is very strong. During this period of time, the boys of the national team must hold on, don't panic, and don't mess up!"

Fortunately, after the second corner kick was taken, it was not hit by any player from the England team.

Football pushed the Chinese team's central defender Liu Yan out.

Outside the penalty area, Zhang Qinghuan and Jay Adams competed for the second spot.

The two were entangled and interfered with each other. In the end, although Adams grabbed the second spot, his header didn't pass well, and it went to Xia Xiaoyu.

Xia Xiaoyu, who took the ball, passed it diagonally to Chen Xingyi on the left, and the Chinese team quickly counterattacked!

In the absence of Luo Kai, Chen Xingyi's left flank is the main starting point of the Chinese team's offense.

Because of the England team's attacking strategy at the beginning, it is naturally impossible for their defense to remain intact, so as long as the counterattack is fast enough, the Chinese team can also get a chance.

Before Xia Xiaoyu caught the ball, Chen Xingyi had already seen that Xia Xiaoyu would control the ball, because at that time there was only Xia Xiaoyu's receiving point around the football.

So Chen Xingyi started to move forward ahead of time.

At the same time, he also raised his hand to signal Xia Xiaoyu:

You can give it, Xiaoyu, you can give it!

Sure enough, Xia Xiaoyu brought the football over.

Chen Xingyi almost caught the football on the sideline, and then faced the England right-back Johnson Law who was chasing him laterally to block him. Chen Xingyi did not fight him wits, but went straight to the ground!

He and the thirty-three-year-old labored hard for speed!

Johnson Law didn't expect Chen Xingyi to be so straightforward, young people don't talk about martial arts...

In the blink of an eye, he was pushed behind by Chen Xingyi.

But Johnson Law did not give up because of this. He was still trying to race against Chen Xingyu, and kept interfering with the latter, preventing him from dribbling the ball well.

Chen Xingyi's speed is good, but his physical resistance is still poor, so after being interfered by Johnson Law, his speed was affected.

Seeing that he had no chance to completely get rid of Johnson Law in a short time, Chen Xingyi did not continue to entangle with him on the wing.

Suddenly a sudden stop!

Throw Johnson Law half a body away.

Then he turned to the middle!

In the middle, there is Zhou Zijing, a tall center forward.

And Hu Lai pulled it to the back point.

In addition, Zhang Qinghuan and Xia Xiaoyu were rushing forward desperately, participating in the counterattack.

The counterattack of the Chinese team is definitely not relying on one or two individuals to fight alone, but an entire offensive system.

This allows Chen Xingyi to have more passing options when counterattacking.

Chen Xingyi didn't continue to dribble. Although he could, it was obviously not as fast as passing the ball.

Passing the ball can send the football to a more threatening place faster!

He passed the football to Zhou Zijing in the middle.

At the same time that the football was passed to Zhou Zijing, Hu Lai suddenly cut in from the back of the wing, accelerated and ran towards the goal, as if he was going to meet Zhou Zijing.

His cross-cut running position attracted the attention of the few defensive players in the England team-Connor Kirk always followed Hu Lai, so that he didn't have much defense against Zhou Zijing.

And for Zhou Zijing, this is an opportunity!

So Zhou Zijing took a long shot after receiving the ball outside the free throw arc and adjusting!

"Zhou Zijing—!"

Accompanied by He Feng's protracted roar ~lightnovelpub.net~ The football skimmed the turf at low altitude, then suddenly fell to the ground in front of the England goal and bounced forward!

It was a high-quality shot.

Fortunately, England's goalkeeper Tom Walker was very focused, and Zhou Zijing's "swing forward" before the shot was slightly longer, so he guessed the intention of the shot.

So when Zhou Zijing shot the goal, he jumped to his right, and when the football fell to the ground and bounced, he threw the football out of the baseline with one palm!

"Zhou Zijing! Great shot! A great save from Walker! A minute ago England got two corners in a row, and now it's China's turn to fight back! They get a corner too!"

"The game has only started for ten minutes. It seems that both sides are playing very openly. England is fierce in firepower and is the team with the most goals in the group stage of this World Cup, while the Chinese team is also strong in offense and weak in defense. So these two teams meet , this match could be a goal shootout!"

In the commentary booth, the commentators from all over the world were excited.
