Chapter 1970 A Real World-Class Team

"Pete Williams!"

Matthew Cox shouted, and then the football was about to approach the goal, and was saved by the goalkeeper Lin Zhiyuan of the Chinese team!

"Wow! Lin Zhiyuan made a wonderful and crucial save! During this period of time, the Chinese team was in constant danger in front of the goal! After conceding the ball, the England team was like an enraged beast..."

He Feng let out a sigh of relief in the commentary booth.

Lin Zhiyuan, who fell to the ground, rolled twice, then got up from the ground, and shouted at his teammates: "Don't let them kick easily! Go up to block and interfere!"

In fact, Pete Williams did not take the kick easily just now. Before he shot, some players from the Chinese team stepped up to interfere and block it, but it was a little slower, allowing Pete to find the space to shoot.

Han Shuyu in the stands didn't dare to take a breath, and he wasn't in the mood to shoot a VLOG anymore.

After the Chinese team took the lead, she, like Li Qingliang next to her, believed that I had the advantage. Next, the Chinese team took advantage of the panic after the England team had just lost the ball and stepped up their offensive. With Hu Lai's scoring efficiency, they scored again in a short time. One goal, maybe the game will be won.

In fact, this is not only the idea of ​​Han Shuyu and Li Qingliang, but also the beautiful idea of ​​many Chinese fans.

But the actual game process was completely different from what they had imagined.

After conceding the goal, England broke out with huge fighting power. Not only did they not fall into chaos, but they started a counterattack!

The kickoff almost equalized the score.

Although Pater missed the goal, it greatly encouraged and boosted the morale of the England players.

Eight minutes have passed since Chen Xingyi scored.

In these eight minutes, England, which conceded the ball, had the upper hand and created more opportunities.

They play simple and direct, if there is a chance to shoot, they will shoot directly. Instead of passing back and forth outside the penalty area for a long time.

The midfielders of this England team also have good long-range shooting ability, so they use Stones' running position and ball play to create opportunities, and other players attack from the back row with long-range shots. , but the threat is not small.

Just like the long shot from Pete Williams just now.

But it scared the Chinese fans a lot.

If it wasn't for Lin Zhiyuan's outstanding performance, he might have lost the ball...

※※※

Although Lin Zhiyuan made a wonderful save, England also won a corner kick.

The corner kick was taken by Pete Williams, who raised his hands high, saluted France first, and then kicked the football towards the goal of the Chinese team!

The football flew high, crossed the goal of the Chinese team, and fell backwards!

Because the main defensive force of the Chinese team, including the three central defenders, were crowded in front of their own gate, they saw the football flying to the back point, and they all tried to run over to compete for the top.

So the originally crowded door was torn open.

Ambush at the rear point is England's Connor Kirk!

He almost pushed the flying football towards the middle near the bottom line!

The defensive players of the Chinese team who had just run to the back point were caught off guard by this return horse shot!

George Birquez in the middle jumps up for a header!

And the one who competed with him was... Xia Xiaoyu.

Whether in terms of height or strength, Xia Xiaoyu was completely crushed by Birx.

In fact, Birquez did press down on Xia Xiaoyu to complete the header.

Boom!

The football is on the small penalty area line, and it is headed towards the goal by Birx!

With such a close-range header, Lin Zhiyuan was powerless. Although he made a save, it was still half a beat too late!

"Birquez! The key header! Beautiful! He scored!" England commentator Matthew Cox was very excited. "We were only eight minutes behind and evened the score! What a great job! Let China The team has also seen our tenacity!"

"Ah!" He Feng, who was also on the commentary seat, held his head in his hands and sighed. "I still conceded the goal... Alas! When the England team was always aggressive, people were worried about the goal of the Chinese team... Now it is true... Alas!"

He sighed again, not knowing what to say.

The psychological quality of Yan Kang next to him is slightly better: "Actually, it's okay, it's just that the two sides have returned to the same starting line. The most important thing is not to get confused!"

Through the TV feed and the monitor screen in front of him, he could see that some of the Chinese players showed a hint of panic after England equalized.

This is human nature, the lead has not been maintained for ten minutes, and it is equalized by the opponent, and anyone who changes it will feel flustered.

However, an excellent team can offset this impact in a short period of time and thus perform normally.

From this point of view, this England team is indeed an excellent team.

They did not panic after being overtaken by the Chinese team, but quickly equalized the score.

It is no wonder that they are the number one favorite to win this World Cup, and they are the only team that has maintained a complete victory in the group stage.

The previous England team always gave people the feeling of a "pseudo-strong team", and their so-called "big favorites to win the championship" were just blown out by the English media themselves.

When everyone mentions the England team, there is joy in the air.

For example, in the last World Cup, the England team was very strong on paper, with a "captain midfielder" combination, which was highly anticipated and considered to be the favorite to win the championship.

In the group stage, they are in the same group as Mexico, Czech Republic and Egypt.

In the end, they only got the second place in the group, and Mexico took the first place in the group...

So when they were second in the group, they encountered Germany when they just entered the top 16.

Then it lost 1:2 and was eliminated.

But the England team in this World Cup does feel reborn.

Not just grades, but a change in performance.

※※※

Seeing the England team score, everyone in the living room fell silent from the previous excited yelling.

"It's okay, it's just a draw. With the posture of both sides in this game, we will definitely score goals. We have a great chance!" Yan Yan comforted his companions loudly.

Chu Yifan felt that what Yan Yan said was right, the two sides played so openly in this game, goals must be indispensable.

But just after losing the ball, he really couldn't comfort others with confidence like Yan Yan.

The same goes for everyone else, so the reaction in the living room wasn't overwhelming.

Against such a background, Jiang Yin's voice was particularly prominent.

After Yan Yan said this, she immediately echoed: "That's right, Brother Yan is right!"

Then she realized that she was the only one who stood up to support Yan Yan, while everyone else looked at her, her face gradually turned red...

Then there was a roar of laughter in the living room.

Everyone booed Yan Yan and Jiang Yin, and the frustration of the Chinese team losing the ball eased a little.

"well…"

Han Shuyu let out a long sigh.

"This is the first time we conceded two goals in a single game in this World Cup..."

She was very depressed.

I am so disappointed and unhappy as a fan, what should the players on the field do?

She just stared at the field in a daze.

The England players had finished celebrating and ran back to their own half.

The players of the Chinese team returned to their positions and waited for the kick-off.

Zhou Zijing is still standing in the middle circle, with a football under his feet.

And Hu Lai is still standing on the edge of the middle circle.

Seeing this familiar scene, Han Shuyu's heart suddenly became agitated—could it be...Could it be? !

But when she quickly turned her head to look into the England penalty area and found Tom Walker standing on the goal line, her previously excited heart cooled down again.

It is impossible to expect Hu Lai to kick off and score directly.

She stared blankly at the court again until she heard the referee's kick-off whistle.

※※※

The England team, who equalized the score, took advantage of the victory and pursued. After defending the wave of offense after the kick-off of the Chinese team, they immediately launched a fierce offensive towards the Chinese team's penalty area.

Greg made a cross from the left at a forty-five degree angle.

This ball, the central defender of the Chinese team is in the process of retreating, so it is not easy to defend.

Fortunately, Lin Zhiyuan struck out in time, rushed to the penalty spot, leaped high, and kicked the football out with a single fist.

However, due to the overall forward pressure of the England team, the football played by Lin Zhiyuan fell to the feet of England midfielder Jay Adams.

The latter saw the goalkeeper of the Chinese team rushing out and was not in front of the goal, so he decisively kicked a lob shot!

Lin Zhiyuan's reaction was also fast enough. Just as he landed, he found that the second landing point was controlled by the England team, so he quickly retreated back in front of the goal.

In the process of retreating, sure enough, he saw Jay Adams lob it!

So he jumped back, extending his arms as far as he could...

He hit the ball!

At the same time as he touched the ball, Lin Zhiyuan exerted force with his fingers, trying to lift the football off the crossbar.

But he was too far from the crossbar. Although he tried his best, he just put the football on the crossbar...

The football hit the crossbar and bounced back!

At this time, Lin Zhiyuan was completely helpless, because he hadn't landed yet...

The soccer ball that hit the crossbar and bounced back just landed in front of the Chinese team's goal~lightnovelpub.net~ A huge empty goal was wide open to everyone.

Appearing in front of the goal is the central defender Cai Shuyi of the Chinese team. He only needs to push the football out to make a clearance.

But this clearance is not easy-if he directly heads the ball, it is easy to cause an own goal, so he can only throw the football to the side...

This increases the difficulty of clearing the siege.

In fact, when Cai Shuyi saw the football flying towards him, the image of him scoring an own goal did flash through his mind.

This made him hesitate.

Just when he was hesitating, Pete Williams behind him leaped forward, passed him, and dived to the top!

Push the football into the empty goal above Cai Shuyi's head!

"Ahhhhhh!" Matthew Cox screamed excitedly.

"Pete! Pete Williams! 3:2! We scored two goals in two minutes to overtake the score again!"

No matter at the scene or in front of the TV, all the Chinese fans watched the scene in front of them dumbfounded.
