Chapter 1978 Encounter on a Narrow Road

Back in time, when Wang Guangwei was still on the court, Dillon saw him save Pete Williams' must-go goal with his hands, and immediately realized that he should make adjustments to the defense .

Because Wang Guangwei will definitely be sent off with a red card, there is no chance of any luck.

So he asked Yu Jintao to call back Qin Qi, who was warming up, and prepared to replace him.

It was a bit of a mess.

Most people on the bench and on the coaching bench are worried about the fate of the Chinese team.

Although Wang Guangwei blocked Pete's goal, England also won a penalty. As long as this penalty can be scored, the Chinese team will die.

Complaints were being made to the fourth official that Pete Williams' ball through Carl Gregg earlier was offside.

They thought Greg should be in an offside position.

If Greg is really offside, then Pete Williams' supplementary shot and Wang Guangwei's deliberate handball should not exist.

There is room for turning things around.

It's just that the protests of these people are useless, and perhaps even they themselves find it difficult to change the situation. This kind of questioning is actually just "incompetent rage".

Because the current World Cup **** have built-in chips, they will communicate with signal receivers all over the stadium in real time, and then generate various data.

These data are then sent back to the VAR system, and then cooperate with multiple cameras on the scene to watch the movement of the players to restore whether a ball is offside.

With this system, judging whether offside or not has become very simple. It doesn't even need to be studied frame by frame, and it doesn't require human intervention, the VAR system can automatically give a result.

The only role of people here is to let the system generate animation, and then pass it on to the broadcast signal, and show the animation to the fans to let them know that the ball is not offside.

If offside, the signal receiver tied to the referee's arm will vibrate immediately, telling him that the ball is offside.

This is the same as the goal line technique and the bottom line technique.

Ten minutes ago, it just helped the Chinese team to confirm that a goal was valid.

Of course, the system can give a conclusion, but in the end it makes a decision, whether to blow it or not depends on the referee, the machine is only an assistant.

After all, the offside situation is very complicated. If a player is in an offside position but does not interfere with the game, then even if the signal receiver on the referee's arm becomes a vibrator, an experienced and excellent referee will not stop the game. The attacker is penalized for offside.

In the chaotic scene, Dillon didn't bother to manage the situation on the court, but he took Qin Qi back to teach him how to play after he came on the court.

Unlike the game against Nigeria, Dillon did not intend to let Qin Qi play as a full-back after playing, but let him directly replace Wang Guangwei as the center of the three central defenders.

This is very demanding on Qin Qi, and his playing style is slightly different from the previous game, so he has to give some instructions.

After the instructions were finished, the dust settled on the field. Players from both sides exited the penalty area, leaving only Pete Williams, who took the penalty kick, and Lin Zhiyuan, the goalkeeper who defended the penalty kick.

The stands of the stadium, which was like a storm of booing just now, also fell silent.

Qin Qi was standing beside the head coach Dillon, watching the whole process of the penalty kick with him.

When Lin Zhiyuan saved the penalty for the first time, he wanted to cheer, but then he saw the football bouncing back, and quickly suppressed his emotions, but his body swayed, betraying his excitement and worry mood.

After Lin Zhiyuan threw the football completely, he wanted to cheer, but was hugged by the head coach Dillon, who shouted excitedly in his ear: "Aha! Xiao Qi, you can play now!"

Although Qin Qi was called over for a long time in advance, even Dillon didn't know whether Qin Qi would still have a chance to play.

If Pete Williams scored this penalty, there would be no overtime, and Qin Qi would not need to play.

Dillon didn't think about it at all, just prepared for everything.

Now his preparation came in handy.

※※※

After Lin Zhiyuan saved the penalty kick from the bottom line, the game did not end directly, and the referee gave England a corner kick.

Although the game time has already arrived - now it has reached 105 minutes.

But on the one hand, the red card and the penalty kick delayed some time, and on the other hand, after Lin Zhiyuan saved the penalty kick, the celebration was delayed for some time.

In this way, if a penalty kick is saved and the whistle is blown to end the game, obviously the English players will be very dissatisfied.

Not to mention making up for all the lost time, at least I have to give the England team a corner kick, so that they have one last chance to attack, and achieve double satisfaction psychologically and physically.

It's just that this approach pleases the English fans and offends the Chinese fans.

After all, what if the England team uses this corner kick to score a goal, or kill the Chinese team?

There is no way, there is no foolproof method, and the referee cannot satisfy everyone.

In world football, on the stage of the World Cup, the voice of Chinese football is still far inferior to that of English football.

Therefore, it is normal for the referee to raise his hand to the England team.

Before this corner kick, the Chinese team completed their last substitution.

Qin Qi came on and replaced center Zhou Zijing.

In the case of one less player, the Chinese team is bound to need more defense, so it seems a little wasteful and unnecessary to keep two centers in front.

If a center forward is to be removed, of course Zhou Zijing will be replaced.

Zhou Zijing had nothing to say, Hu Lai scored twice in this game, is he really going to be replaced?

So I can only bear everything silently.

After handing over high-fives to Zhou Zijing, Qin Qi ran straight to the Chinese team's penalty area, preparing for a corner kick.

England were still affected by missed penalties, notably Pete Williams:

The corner kick was taken by Pete Williams, and he kicked the corner straight out of the baseline...

Although the football finally turned into the penalty area, the signal receiver on the referee's arm trembled wildly, telling the referee that the ball was out of bounds!

So England's last chance to score in regular time in this game ended hastily.

Then the referee blew his whistle three times.

"Regular game time is over!" He Feng yelled, "The game has entered overtime! This is also the second overtime match of this World Cup! Who would have thought before the game that the more optimistic England team would be defeated The Chinese team, which participated in the World Cup knockout for the first time, was dragged into overtime?!"

Matthew Cox can no longer think about this issue. From that corner kick, he can see that the mentality of the England team has not recovered, so he is very worried about the team's performance in overtime:

"There is still 30 minutes of overtime in the game, and it is far from the end. Now the players in England should forget the past 90 minutes as soon as possible, and play this game as a 0:0 game! Overtime In the first half, we should stabilize our defense first. Because it is obvious that the morale of the Chinese team is high after saving a penalty, so don't confront them head-on at this time..."

From the end of regular time to the start of overtime, there is a five-minute rest period as required, but this time is often not so accurate.

Everyone will not go back to the locker room, but will be massaged by the team doctor and adjusted by the coach on the sidelines.

In fact, there is nothing to adjust tactically at this time. The main purpose is to encourage the players and say some chicken soup speeches such as "We will win" and "Believe in ourselves".

At most, remind the players to pay attention to defense.

There will be a total of 30 minutes in overtime, 15 minutes each in the first and second halves, with no rest period in between.

If neither team can score in extra time, the game will go to a penalty shootout.

At that stage, in fact, it has nothing to do with the paper strength of the two teams.

It is mainly related to the mental state of the players at that time.

The psychological state is also related to the performance at that time.

Teams that go from behind to a draw tend to be more morale and resilient, and they tend to perform better in penalty shootouts, while also making their opponents worse off.

For example, a certain team fell behind by three goals in the first half, and even its own fans were desperate, but in the second half they were able to chase three goals in a row to tie the score.

Then their morale is full, and they enter the penalty shootout. Apart from their good performance ~lightnovelpub.net~ The opponent who is equalized will also fall into self-doubt and become unconfident.

In football games, "confidence" is crucial.

"Let them attack first, and we defend the first half. They have one less player than us, and their physical strength will be exhausted faster. In the second half of overtime, they will definitely not be able to run. At that time, it is the best time for us to launch a general attack. opportunity!"

England coach Ryan Jackson said loudly to his players, and the Flying Cat camera leaned over to record his words and put them in front of audiences all over the world.

On the other side, the players of the Chinese team formed a circle, and the head coach Dillon stood in the circle and said to all the players:

"Although we have carefully prepared penalty kicks, don't rush for penalty kicks at the beginning of extra time. If possible, try to end the battle in 30 minutes of extra time. We have one less player than them, This requires each of us to run more than usual. Ten people can run more than the usual eleven people... The game is actually no longer a competition of skills and tactics. It's a contest of will! In China, there is a saying: 'A brave man wins when a narrow road meets'. Now it is a 'narrow road', who is the brave? Of course it is us! Go win this game, lads, and continue to create Chinese football history! You will leave your name in history!"
