Chapter 1972 Restart

"Xiaoyu!"

While pulling the side, Luo Kai turned his head and shouted to Xia Xiaoyu, and at the same time he raised his arm.

Make it clear to everyone around him that he wants the ball.

The main thing is to make England's left-back Alan Morley see clearly.

When Roquet received the ball, Alan Morley was indeed on the mend.

Because he knew he had a yellow card.

If Luo Kai came here specifically to find him, it would be really difficult for him...

Just as he was thinking, he saw Luo Kai coming towards him with the ball!

Molly could only bite the bullet and push forward.

But just when the two were about to touch, Luo Kai made a posture to break through along the sideline, and suddenly used the outer instep of his left foot to turn the football to the inside, and then accelerated to rush past Molly.

Molly wanted to stretch out his feet and hands to intercept, but he hesitated when he thought of the yellow card on him.

So he could only watch Luo Kai slip away from him and run diagonally to the middle road...

Morley let Luo Kai go so easily, and England's defense suddenly fell into a passive position.

Jay Adams was originally protecting the back line, but when he saw Luo Kai rushing towards him with the ball, he could only step forward to fight.

At the same time, Pete Williams also returned to the defense and rushed to Luo Kai.

Zhang Qinghuan saw that Luo Kai went to the middle, so he went straight to the right rib of the England penalty area, temporarily occupying Luo Kai's original position, and at the same time restrained Connor Kirk so that the latter could not surround Luo Kai.

Hu Lai, who was originally in the middle of the penalty area, also pulled away horizontally when he saw this, and took away central defender Scott Wilson.

At the same time, Zhou Zijing pulled out from the penalty area to meet Luo Kai.

At the same time, on the far left, there is Chen Xingyi who is adducted.

In the direction Luo Kai was facing, there were two support points, Zhou Zijing and Chen Xingyi.

He poked the football to a retreating Zhou Zijing before Jay Adams and Pete Williams double-teamed himself.

He then staggered onwards, trying to drive into England's penalty area.

At this time, he is no longer the focus of England players.

One of the people they are most concerned about is Zhou Zijing who is holding the ball, and the other is Hu Lai.

Seeing Zhou Zijing take the ball, Hu Lai did not go forward to the goal, but did the opposite, and retreated out of the penalty area. This made Scott Wilson, who was following him, a little confused, wondering if he should follow him...

Zhou Zijing saw Luo Kai go forward, so he was going to give him the football again, and the two of them hit the wall and cooperated with each other.

Unexpectedly, Luo Kai's feet staggered, his step was not adjusted properly, and Zhou Zijing's direct horizontal strikes without stopping the ball were not well controlled.

As Rokai charged forward, the football sprinted behind his heels.

Luo Kai missed the ball!

Just when Luo Kai thought the attack was over, he turned his head and saw that Hu Lai had retreated from the penalty area at some point, carrying Connor Kirk behind him with his body, and then facing the rolling football Raised the left leg!

Keep the ball straight!

Scott Wilson saw the football being passed towards Hou Lai, and he immediately started to rush forward.

Unexpectedly, Hu Lai didn't stop the ball and passed the ball directly, and the pass was exactly the space behind him when he pounced!

Rocky accelerated and slipped through the gap between George Birx and Scott Wilson!

"Hu Lai...Through! Strike! Chance! Rocky!"

There were thunderous cheers and screams in the stands.

But when Luo Kai kicked the ground to chase the football at the last step, he didn't fully use his strength. His left foot stretched out, and he almost... failed to touch the ball!

The ball ended up in the arms of the striking goalkeeper Tom Walker, while Roquet slipped on his back.

He held his head in his hands regretfully and covered his face.

"Luo Kai... poked! Oops! Oops!" He Feng sighed regretfully. "It's a little bit worse!"

"It's good, Luo Kai! It's okay!" Seeing Luo Kai lying on the ground, Zhang Qinghuan slapped her hands vigorously and praised loudly at the same time.

Except for not scoring a goal in the end, this ball can indeed be called perfect.

Luo Kai's performance was basically impeccable, and he initiated this attack.

Moreover, in the game, not every attack has to be scored or not as a measure of success.

Zhang Qinghuan was keenly aware that for the current Chinese team, Luo Kai's forcible assault in the middle this time was of great significance.

Because this is the Chinese team once again threatened England's goal after being surrounded by the England team for so long and conceding two goals in a row.

At the very least, it can be shown that the Chinese team has regained the ability to create murderous intentions.

Sure enough, after the initial sigh of regret, the Chinese fans in the stands also applauded and cheered for the Chinese team's attack.

The same goes for the Chinese fans in front of the TV.

"Good job! Luo Kai! This ball is beautiful!"

"Rocky beef batch!"

At Chu Yifan's home, the alumni of Dongchuan Middle School were also cheering for their former teammates.

No one scolded Luo Kai for not touching the ball just now.

Maybe sporadically, but here, absolutely none.

Jorge Dillon heaved a sigh of relief after seeing Roquet miss a great chance from the sidelines.

Then he said to Yu Jintao beside him: "Luo has completed the restart, Yu."

After speaking, he turned around and walked towards the coach's bench, ready to sit down and rest.

Standing on the sidelines all the time is actually very tiring.

Especially for an old man like him who is seventy years old.

Now that the situation has improved, there is no need for him to remain on the sidelines as a marker.

Seeing this, Yu Jintao hurriedly followed, and returned to the coach's bench with Dillon to sit down.

※※※

On the other side of the England coaching bench, head coach Ryan Jackson made a very decisive decision.

He told the assistant coach to call back Joseph Rodgers, who had just been warming up.

Joseph Rogers, 29 years old this year, is Tramed's main left back.

Jackson intends to replace Aaron Morley with Rodgers.

In fact, he didn't plan to change players so early. Rogers wasn't called to warm up from the bench before, but he went to warm up in batches normally with other teammates.

But after seeing Molly get a yellow card for a tactical foul, he decided to make a substitution.

It's just that he wasn't sure about this idea at the time, he wanted to see Luo Kai's performance first.

If Luo Kai continues to play poorly, it is not impossible to let Morley stay on the court for a while.

But when he found that Morley didn't react in time when faced with Luo Kai's decisive inside cut, he made a decision in his mind-he had to put Alan Morley, who was afraid to make a move because of a yellow card, replace.

Otherwise, there will always be a time bomb that has not been dismantled in one's own defense.

He didn't want to leave hidden dangers for himself.

Because Rogers has completed the warm-up ahead of schedule, Ryan Jackson doesn’t have to wait a few minutes—that might be dangerous, in case the Chinese team used the window period before their substitution to break through Morley’s defense and score a goal. Wouldn't that be bad for the equalizing goal?

England quickly completed the substitution.

Alan Morley, who was carrying a yellow card and almost made a mistake in the defense just now, was replaced with his head down.

Joseph Rodgers, who came off the bench, ran onto the field with his head held high.

"The England team made a substitution. This is a match-up substitution. I have to say that Ryan Jackson made this adjustment very decisively. Alan Morley, who received a yellow card, is indeed the current defense line of the England team. destabilizing factors..."

Matthew Cox applauds Ryan Jackson's adjustment.

※※※

Joseph Rogers played in the 74th minute of the game. Generally speaking, at this time, the physical fitness of the players on the field will have some problems.

This is a bottleneck period.

But if you can get through it, you can actually last for a while.

At the same time, this time node also means that there is not much time left for the Chinese team.

Luo Kai has restarted, and the Chinese team has naturally strengthened their offensive.

And the England team had been besieging the Chinese team's goal in a row before, but they did not succeed again. They also slowed down their rhythm and speed, and took the initiative to recover, ending the previous high-position press and fast attack that oppressed the opponent.

The Chinese team got more offensive opportunities.

The Chinese fans in the stands are also active again—just now the England team’s continuous attack has really depressed many of them, for fear that the team will concede another goal and fall behind by two goals when there is not much time left in the game , then it is really hopeless...

The Chinese team, which got more opportunities, also showed their strength in offense, proving that they deserve to be a team that is stronger in offense than defense.

In the 76th minute, the Chinese team won a throw-in from the right.

Because it was relatively close to the ball, Zhang Qinghuan asked for a football from the ball boy, turned around and threw it to Luo Kai.

After receiving the ball, Luo Kai turned around, shot a cold arrow at the corner of the penalty area, and volleyed!

The football went straight to the near corner of the goal.

The shot was so sudden that Tom Walker almost missed the ball despite his quick movement.

The football bounced off the ground, hit him and bounced out again.

Fortunately, there were no players from the Chinese team within ten meters around him, so he calmly controlled the football again.

Three minutes later, in the 79th minute, the Chinese team launched an attack again.

This time, after Chen Xingyi cut in from the left, he passed the football to Zhou Zijing.

Under the defense of the opponent, Zhou Zijing passed the football to Hu Lai without a chance to kick.

Hu Lai also had no way to kick, so he passed the football back to the middle.

And Chen Xingyi~lightnovelpub.net~ who didn't cut into the penalty area after the inside cut was his pass target.

Chen Xingyi swung his right leg in the face of the passed football, and then shot into the far corner!

Tom Walker made a save and went into the air, but missed the ball.

Because the football went around the outside of the back post and flew straight out of the baseline.

"Three times in a row! Three times in a row! The offense of the Chinese team has threatened the goal of the England team! We should be more careful when defending! Don't just stare at Hu! He has been playing for his teammates during this time, don't Forget, he did the same thing with the Pirates...don't think he can only score goals, he can actually pass!"

England commentator Matthew Cox mercilessly criticized.

He was dissatisfied with England's defensive performance during this period.

Not only him, England coach Ryan Jackson was yelling and waving his arms on the sidelines, obviously he was also very dissatisfied.

The Chinese commentator He Feng said in an uplifting tone: "The 80th minute of the game, ten minutes left in the regular game! Our offensive is up! There is still a chance, and the Chinese team still has a chance!"
