Chapter 1964 "Good Omen"

Although Hu Lai's shot did not score, it did bring more confidence to the Chinese players on the court.

This shows that the Chinese team's offense can threaten the England team's goal-Hu Lai's shot is the closest to the goal of the Chinese team's so many offenses after the opening.

After all, it hit the pillar.

Almost exactly the same as Pete Williams' shot before.

This shot really boosted morale a lot.

When the game resumed, the Chinese fans in the stands cheered louder.

"Hu Lai's shooting feels better and better!"

Han Shuyu shouted excitedly.

England had scored earlier after Pete Williams hit the post.

So now that Hu Lai also hit the post, wouldn't that be a good sign?

Many Chinese fans have such a simple vision.

※※※

England's head coach, Ryan Jackson, stood on the sidelines, his brow gradually furrowed and then never opened.

Because he found that the Chinese team that lost the ball played better and better.

They didn't fall into the panic after losing the ball, and they didn't make more mistakes.

Their players are very clear when they have the ball and know what to do.

Just like Hu Lai's shot that hit the post just now.

Before he shot, the thinking of the Chinese team's offensive organization was very clear. Every player knew what to do without any redundant actions.

For example, their No. 20 obviously did not play in Europe, but he handled the ball decisively and calmly.

In the face of Greg's press, he can pass back calmly instead of making a wrong judgment in panic.

For today's game, after getting the right to qualify for the group one round ahead of schedule, Jackson has already started to study his opponent.

At that time, he didn't know that he would definitely meet the Chinese team, so he studied all possible opponents.

Later, after confirming that the opponent was the Chinese team, he focused on research.

The research found that the situation he was observing now was not accidental, but consistent.

It is a phenomenon that the Chinese team has always existed in the first three games.

When he saw a few such scenes at first, he thought it was because the opponents did not oppress the Chinese players enough.

But later, as the same situation became more and more frequent, Ryan Jackson knew that it was the quality of Dillon's team.

Ordinary opponents, after losing a goal, will inevitably be in a hurry for a while. This is England's opportunity.

With England's concise and direct offensive style, it is very easy to score again in a short period of time.

However, an opponent like the Chinese team cannot be said to be bad.

Because if they play at a normal pace, the same as before they lost the ball, it means that there are still many gaps in their defense.

As long as England can seize the opportunity, they can continue to score goals.

If the Chinese team shrinks their defense after falling behind and places a bus in front of the goal, it will be a bit troublesome...

So despite frowning, Ryan Jackson didn't make any adjustments or instructions.

He was just watching from the sidelines.

Of course, the performance of the Chinese team made Ryan Jackson feel the risk, but at the same time, the opportunity was also hidden in the risk.

If you can score another goal in the first half, you will get a two-goal lead.

Then Jackson will be more at ease.

After all, in this World Cup, the Chinese team has not conceded two goals in a row.

Jackson felt that maybe when the Chinese team encountered such a sudden situation that had never been experienced before, their performance would be different from when they only conceded one goal now.

As England's midfield playmaker, Pete Williams is naturally under the focus of the Chinese team.

He was facing tremendous pressure in the middle lane, so he switched to the right lane based on the idea of ​​"moving trees to death, moving people to live".

But the Chinese team did not relax their defense against him because he changed positions.

When he pulled wide for the ball, right back Johnson Law passed him the football.

Ou Yangjin immediately stuck to Pete Williams and hit him from behind, making it more difficult for him to stop the ball.

His impact really prevented Pete Williams from stopping the ball in the first place.

The football hit his foot and bounced upward.

However, Pete's reaction was also quick. He immediately opened his arms to block Ou Yangjin behind him.

Then stretch out your feet and stop the falling football under your feet.

This stop is actually quite good.

But the problem was that he stopped for a while, and the time he wasted caused two Chinese players to immediately surround him.

They are Chen Xingyi and Zhang Qinghuan.

He is now surrounded by three Chinese players, surrounded by the sideline. If this is in Go, Pete's piece has already been eaten...

But on the football field, Pete can still "rescue" it.

Chen Xingyi chased back from the frontcourt and stabbed the football with his foot.

Pete also stretched out his foot, trying to control the football.

However, he dodged Chen Xingyi's pressure, but let Zhang Qinghuan next to him take advantage of it. The latter's simple kick knocked the football controlled by Pete into a crooked position.

The football rolled behind Ou Yangjin, and he immediately turned around to chase the ball.

At the same time, Brad Pate also rushed to grab the ball quickly.

Ou Yangjin still touched the ball first, and the safest thing to do at this time was naturally to pass it back directly to the central defender.

But Ou Yangjin is not Cui Zexu. After playing in Europe for two years, he has grown a lot compared to before.

After noticing Pater's uprush, he realized that there must be an opening in the space behind Pater.

If you choose to pass back to the central defender, it is safe, but now the Chinese team needs to attack more.

So he continued to take the football one step back, and after making a posture to pass back, he suddenly turned around and passed the ball diagonally behind him, giving the ball back to the Chinese team from the England half. Xia Xiaoyu in the circle.

While the football was passed to Xia Xiaoyu, Jay Adams rushed up from the midfielder position, trying to intercept Xia Xiaoyu.

But Xia Xiaoyu stopped and turned very quickly, and did not give Adams a chance to post it.

After turning around, Xia Xiaoyu passed the ball to Zhou Zijing who retreated deeply - he had already retreated to the center circle.

As a center forward, the dropback is really deep...

However, in Dillon's tactical system, the center cannot always be at the forefront, waiting for his teammates to feed him the ball. Even Hu Lai still needs to keep retreating or pulling sideways to create opportunities for his teammates.

Only in this way can it be regarded as integrated into the team's overall tactical system, instead of being a free shooter and simply being a shooter.

It has to be said that compared with when he was coaching in Europe before, Dillon's tactical thinking has undergone some changes, incorporating some things about ball control.

The place where Zhou Zijing catches the ball is almost at the front midfielder.

So the English players in front turned around and chased back, while the English players behind him stood in front of him, almost forming an encirclement circle.

Zhou Zijing didn't turn around and dribble the ball, but threw the football sideways to Zhang Qinghuan who came forward!

Zhang Qinghuan, who runs without the ball, faces the attacking direction when receiving the ball. He can play the ball without extra adjustments.

In fact, he had already seen the situation before he caught the ball-because Zhou Zijing retreated, England's central defender Scott Wilson pushed out, so Hu Lai, who was at the top, was followed by the remaining one. Central defender George Birx.

An aging centre-back with slow turning speeds...

Although he has a lot of experience, his body function cannot keep up with his experience.

So after catching the ball, Zhang Qinghuan sent a through ball! The pass is the space behind Birx!

"Zhang Qinghuan! Beautiful Zhisai!"

Hu Lai started running when Zhou Zijing passed the football to Zhang Qinghuan - he didn't run directly to the space behind Birx, but moved sideways first, and then suddenly turned forward!

Birx knew very well that his speed was not fast enough, and if he forcibly chased back, he might not be able to catch up.

So experienced, he made the bold, but most likely choice to succeed.

It's just that the passing and running between Zhang Qinghuan and Hu Lai was very tacit, before Birx pressed forward, Zhang Qinghuan stuffed the football out!

so…

"Onside!"

I don't know how many Chinese fans who watched the live broadcast of the game in front of the TV cheered excitedly.

Zhang Qinghuan's pass passed through England's defense, and Hu Lai also ran behind Birquez!

Others penetrate with football!

The cheers from all the Chinese fans at the scene, coupled with the exclamations from the England fans, mixed together, making the commentators wearing noise-cancelling headphones feel the pressure.

They all shouted, and even stood up from their seats, shouting loudly: "Hu! The Chinese team's counterattack!"

"Hu Lai! Beautiful! One-handed!"

"The Chinese team succeeded in anti-offside!"

"HUUUUUUUUUUU—!!"

Amidst the shouts of commentators from all over the world, Hou Lai caught up with the football outside the England team's penalty area.

At this time, England goalkeeper Tom Walker also attacked near the penalty spot.

Seeing that Hu Lai had received the ball, he continued to rush forward.

At this moment, Hu Lai, who was on the penalty area line, lifted his left foot and shot!

Tom Walker paused for a moment, and the momentum of the attack was disrupted-he thought Holley was about to shoot.

But Hu Lai just feinted!

He just pretended to lift his left leg, and even his left foot didn't leave the ground, so he tricked Walker into stopping his attack, lowered his center of gravity and prepared to save...

This is the deterrent power of a top shooter-as long as he lifts his foot, whether it is a fake or not, the goalkeeper has to be ready to save!

No one dared to bet on whether this kick was true or false.

After all, if it was a real shot and the goalkeeper was unprepared, it would be embarrassing if he was caught off guard.

In this situation, facing a top shooter, it must be "I'd rather believe it~lightnovelpub.net~ than believe it not".

It's just that Walker was unlucky this time, and he encountered a fake move...

After Hu Lai feinted a shot with his left foot, he shifted the football to the right with just a small movement of his left ankle!

Then he didn't make any adjustments, and just shot with his right foot!

The football passed by Walker who had lost his balance!

Walker fell to the ground and failed to make an effective save...

Behind him is a huge empty goal, and there is nothing to stop the ball from rolling into the net...

"HUUUUUUUUUUUUUGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!! Huh!!!"

"Hu Lai! Hu Lai! Hu Lai!! This goal is here! Good goal! Hu Lai scored! He equalized the score for the Chinese team!"

"After eleven minutes behind, the Chinese team equalized! A beautiful anti-offside attack!"

"Stubborn Chinese team! They equalized! England's lead is gone! Now the two sides are back on the same starting line!"
