Chapter 1991 Free Kick Master

Chen Xingyi was called by Qin Lin to warm up after Qin Qi made that brilliant rescue.

Only called him alone.

So Chen Xingyi knew exactly what would happen next.

Sure enough, after he finished his warm-up and returned to the front and back of the coaching bench, he was pulled to him by Jorge Dillon, who said to him straight to the point:

"Xing, I need you to play, use your speed and assault ability to threaten the defense of the Dutch team, so that they can be a little more afraid when attacking."

The Dutch team's game is not the kind of play that suppresses the Chinese team. They also attach great importance to defense, which is why most of the game is dull.

But once they decide to attack, they will put a lot of pressure on the Chinese team, especially after the start of the second half.

If possible, the Dutch team should still try to end the battle within 90 minutes.

After all, they also played overtime in the quarter-finals.

If a quarter of the game is still played in overtime, even if they can reach the semi-finals, the physical strength of the Dutch team is extremely worrying.

They were the last team to play in the quarter-finals and quarter-finals, and the rest time would have been one day less than the previous teams.

Facing the Italian team waiting for work, the Dutch team might be dragged into their favorite rhythm by the Italian team.

Dillon also saw this, so he decided to replace Chen Xingyi at this time.

Of course, on the other hand, Cui Zexu, who started the game, was exhausted after defending for 75 minutes and had to be replaced.

After Chen Xingyi came on the field, he used his offensive ability to assist the defense, and he could also fight back when necessary.

It would be better if the fight could be over within 90 minutes - if possible, both coaches would like their teams to win the game without extra time.

Dillon's face-to-face exhortation to Chen Xingyi was not long, and soon Chen Xingyi appeared beside the center line, waiting to be replaced.

The fourth official checked his studs, as well as his neck, fingers, ears, etc., and confirmed that there were no metal ornaments on those parts-according to the rules, in order to prevent himself from being injured or hurting others, players are not allowed to wear any jewelry during the game. Ornaments containing metal parts.

Necklaces, metal bracelets, rings and earrings, studs are not acceptable.

Of course, Chen Xingyi didn't have these messy things on him.

Soon he completed all the necessary checks before playing.

But he didn't get the chance to play immediately.

Because the game is still going on, there is no dead ball.

And now that the Dutch team is in possession of the ball, they will not take the initiative to kick the football out of bounds in order to cooperate with the Chinese team's substitutions.

Maxi Carey drops back, catches and passes the football, and he runs on to the next spot.

In this World Cup, Maxi Carey no longer plays his striker position - in fact, when he was in Leeds City, he was no longer a striker, but instead played an attacking midfielder.

In the Dutch national team, his position also moved back, becoming a midfielder.

The Dutch team played 433 in this game, and Maxi Carey was one of the three midfielders.

But his position has not been fixed in the midfield.

Sometimes, he will actively go forward and appear on the front line, temporarily returning to his role as a forward.

At this time, the starting Dutch striker Gouvillon Risdick will retreat to the midfield to help defend.

Riddick, who used to play for Ferenc and is now playing for Liverpool in the Premier League, is not a striker with superb shooting skills or extraordinary skills, but he has excellent physical fitness, can run well, and has a very correct attitude in the game, conscientious and hardworking .

The reason why the head coach of the Dutch team, Drost, let Riesdick start the game, on the one hand, it is to strengthen the defensive ability of the Dutch team in the frontcourt, and on the other hand, it is also to ensure the defensive strength of the midfield after Carey advances.

If Carey kills the rise, the position is premised, and he will become a striker. Then the real striker Riesdick will automatically retreat and fall into the midfield.

In this way, the Dutch national team is still equal to 433, and the balance of lineup and tactics has not been broken.

The Dutch team in this World Cup has this configuration.

Riesdick, who could neither score nor feel sad, became the main player in the Dutch team-provided that Maxi Carey played at the same time.

In the last round of the group stage when the Netherlands tied Switzerland 0:0, Carey took a rest, so Riesdick also took a rest.

Now Maxi Carey is still active in the midfield, and Riddick is at the left winger position.

As a midfielder, Carey connected the Dutch team's offense in series. After passing a few runs, he received the ball again close to the Chinese team's penalty area.

This time when he just caught the ball, Ou Yangjin hit him from behind, very fast, faster than football.

So Kaili couldn't get past Ou Yangjin as gracefully and calmly as before.

He was entangled by Ou Yangjin.

And Xia Xiaoyu turned around and rushed to double-team Kaili again.

At this time, Carey showed his advantages as an experienced veteran.

Seeing that he could not get rid of the Chinese team's defense smoothly, Carey simply protected the ball, and then attracted Ou Yangjin to intercept the ball from behind.

Ou Yangjin didn't kick the ball, but kicked Carey's foot protecting the ball.

Carey then simply lay down on the ground.

The referee's whistle blew.

Chen Xingyi finally got the chance to play.

When Chen Xingyi replaced Cui Zexu and ran onto the field, Carey was bending over to place the football.

"Ou Yangjin kicked Carey from behind. It was a foul. The referee gave the Dutch team a free kick in the frontcourt. This free kick is a bit positive, and it is better than the two free kicks that Carey kicked before..." He Feng's tone at the end was already a little worried.

Everyone knows Maxi Carey is a master of free kicks.

In the Dutch team, there is actually another player who is good at kicking free kicks-Robin Feeney. But Feeney can only be called a "free kick master", and there is still a gap from a "free kick master" like Carey.

Chen Xingyi took over Cui Zexu's task and ran to line up the wall.

Beside him are Luo Kai and Zhou Zijing.

Under Lin Zhiyuan's command, Hu Lai lay down on the turf behind the human wall.

Watch out for Kyrie kicking the football under the jumping wall.

After Lin Zhiyuan commanded the human wall, he returned to his position, ready for battle.

Before this free kick in this game, Maxi Carey had taken two free kicks.

Once he hit directly high, and another time he hit within the range of the door frame, but was saved by Lin Zhiyuan bravely.

With previous performance, Lin Zhiyuan is ready to save Kyrie's free kick again.

The human wall is lined up and the football is set up.

Carey stepped back, waiting for the referee's whistle.

The TV broadcast gave him a close-up shot of him staring unblinkingly out of the frame, in the direction of the goal.

He just stared there, didn't take a deep breath, and didn't let out all his breath at once.

His expression is calm like a still picture.

It wasn't until the rebroadcast screen was cut back, showing the panorama of the Chinese team's penalty area, that many people realized that the rebroadcast signal was not stuck just now.

After the referee confirmed that both sides were ready and there were no crowds rubbing against the wall or players from both sides pushing each other in the penalty area, he backed away and blew his whistle.

With a clear whistle, Maxi Carey bowed his head, ran up, kicked up, and kicked the ball!

While he was kicking the football, the Chinese team's human wall players took off collectively, trying to use their bodies to interfere and block Carey's free kick!

But none of them came across.

The football made an arc and passed Zhou Zijing's shoulders on the outermost side of the human wall, although Zhou Zijing tried his best to swing his neck towards the football, trying to shake his head to clear the siege.

But he hit nothing but air.

After goalkeeper Lin Zhiyuan saw the football jumping out from Zhou Zijing's side, he jumped into the air and rushed towards the upper left corner of the goal!

The football spun violently and flew resolutely to the upper left corner of the Chinese team's goal!

Lin Zhiyuan couldn't finally jump to the destination, because he was too far away from that corner... He couldn't take off at the most suitable distance, and his desperately stretched arm didn't touch anything.

The football has already brushed the lower edge of the crossbar and flew into the goal!

“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!” the commentator of the Dutch TV shouted excitedly, “Maxie Carey! Carey! Unbelievable arc! Beautiful direct free kick! The Chinese team withstood for 75 minutes The offensive ~lightnovelpub.net~ But facing this free kick that is almost impossible to defend, they finally failed!"

Chinese commentator He Feng put his head in his hands: "Oh... Alas! We finally lost the ball... We defended for 75 minutes, but we still lost the ball... How do we defend this ball? It's a free kick, but Carey is a free kick. Master Ball... Alas!"

He didn't know what to say, and the things he worried about before the game became reality.

With the current state of the Chinese team, it is still a bit reluctant to beat the Netherlands... Is it?

The Japanese commentator was also yelling: "Beautiful! Beautiful! Carey! Maxi Carey! The Dutch team leads the Chinese team 1-0! Although the goal came late, it was just right! At this time, the goal was lost. It is almost impossible for the Chinese team to come back! Of course, it is not completely impossible...but I can't think of what they will do..."

Junpei Morikawa in front of the TV showed a very serious expression.

The mother next to him was woken up by the exclamation of the commentator. She looked at the live broadcast with some surprise and asked, "Why is China lagging behind?"
