"You guys did a great job! Although we were behind in the first half, we performed very well afterwards. We suppressed the opponent on the scene, and finally managed to equalize the score...

The translator is translating what Carlisle said just now to the players of the Japanese team.

Carlisle was on the sidelines, taking this opportunity to think.

An equalizer before the end of the first half was a good thing, but what next?

It's just an equalizer, not a lead.

How to play the next game is the most important thing.

Is it to slow down the pace and play steadily?

Or take advantage of this momentum and make persistent efforts?

This is a question that Carlisle, the head coach, has to consider.

And he started thinking about it after the team equalized.

Originally he was inclined to the former.

Because the team had just tied the score, the first half was coming to an end, and the upward momentum was interrupted. At this time, if he went out to attack the Chinese team, he was worried that there would be problems with the defense.

Generally speaking, this kind of goal equalizing at the end of the first half is a double-edged sword-needless to say the benefits. The disadvantage is that the morale and momentum of the players have all been interrupted. After 15 minutes of intermission, it is difficult for the players to immediately find the feeling after scoring a goal.

If there is still about fifteen minutes of game time after the goal, it will be the perfect state for the Japanese team.

Now that the momentum was interrupted, Carlisle naturally decided to be more stable in the second half, first deal with the Chinese team for a while, and use the Japanese team's overall pass control advantage to find gaps and loopholes.

But at halftime, he changed his mind when he saw the excited Japanese players in the locker room.

The players of the Japanese team who had just equalized the score, even if they returned to the locker room, hadn't recovered from the excitement.

Carlisle felt that at this time, if the players were allowed to defend firmly after the start of the second half and play steadily, it would be like pouring cold water on the players.

Although he knows that with the discipline of the Japanese players, he will definitely abide by his request.

But they still feel awkward.

It's like you're forcing a low-speed first gear to drive a performance monster.

If you don't drive well, the car will be prone to problems, such as the gearbox overheating or something...

At this time, it is more important to follow the trend.

So Carlisle decided to change his mind.

After the translator finished speaking, he continued: "After the start of the second half, we must continue our performance during the period when we equalized the score. Actively attack,

Don't be afraid of the Chinese team's attack, this is our home field after all! In terms of overall strength, we are stronger, so there is no reason to be afraid of them at our own home court! "

"The Japanese team is at home in this game, and they can't stand a 1:1 result. So in the second half they will definitely strengthen their offensive, either at the opening or after a while...So if the Japanese team is aggressive in the second half, Just fight them!"

In the locker room of the Chinese team, Yu Jintao translated Dillon's words to the national team players.

While translating, he was deeply moved in his heart—unknowingly, the old man Dillon really convinced the players of the Chinese team that they were very strong...

He remembered that when Dillon had just coached the Chinese team, he led the team to play the first game, the semi-final of the "China Cup", against the South African team. Most of Dillon's speech before the game was only related to one thing, and that was to tell the players of the Chinese team that they were really strong.

But now, he doesn't need to emphasize repeatedly to encourage the fighting spirit in the players' hearts.

Just ask them to confront Japan so straightforwardly.

None of the Chinese players present felt surprised, unbelievable, or frowned to show embarrassment.

You must know that they are facing the number one Japanese team in Asia, and they are still at their home court. But judging by the expressions of the players, it seems that it is a matter of course to play against the Japanese team. Compared with before, this team is indeed much stronger.

Not only the changes brought about by the players in Europe, but also those players who play in China have grown and gained.

Especially those young domestic players, they are more ambitious and confident than the older generation.

After Yu Jintao finished translating, Dillon walked to the middle of the locker room and called all the sitting Chinese players to stand up and come to him.

Then he stretched out his hand, and asked everyone to overlap and put their palms on it.

In this way, he shouted in Mandarin with a slightly awkward accent: "Do you have confidence?!"

The whole team answered him loudly: "Yes! Yes! Yes!"

With the last yell, the arms that were stacked together did not wave away, and all the players also dispersed, and then walked towards the door of the locker room.

Dillon was at the end. He showed a small face to his translator Yu Jintao and asked, "How is it, Yu? Is my pronunciation standard?"

Yu Jintao gave him a thumbs up: "In the words of Hu Lai: newbee!"

Dillon, who was praised, laughed: "I have practiced for a long time!"

※※※After the players of both sides returned to the court, the whistle kicked off in the second half of the game.

The players of the Japanese team, who were signaled by the head coach, launched a fierce attack on the goal of the Chinese team.

They evened the score and now their morale is boosted, and they feel that their condition is just right. They must score goals quickly while they are still in this state.

Everyone is a seasoned professional player, and it is clear that if they can't score goals quickly. Let the Chinese team withstand their offensive, then the next game will be difficult to play.

After all, this is their home court. If they can't win the Chinese team at their home court, the Japanese team will be under tremendous pressure.

Before the start of the second half, they were only worried that the Chinese team would not be able to shrink back in the face of their onslaught.

After all, based on common sense analysis, they have just equalized the score here, with great momentum, and there is pressure to win at home, and they will definitely attack violently in the second half.

Then the most likely countermeasure for the Chinese team is to stabilize the defense first, withstand the onslaught of the Japanese team after the opening, and then take it slowly. Whether it is a counterattack or a 1:1 tie, it is acceptable to the Chinese team.

If the Chinese team really shrinks their defense and counterattacks, it will really cause headaches for the Japanese players.

The Chinese team has the ability to counterattack...

As a result, after the start of the second half, they found that the Chinese team did not choose to defend and counterattack, but actively challenged and fought against them!

This is really the dream situation of the Japanese team!

The Chinese team actually fought against them!

wish for it!

superior!

Attack!

Who is afraid of whom? !

※米※Different from the excited Japanese players, their head coach Carlisle stood on the sidelines frowning and worried.

Because he smelled something unusual from the Chinese team that was fighting against the Japanese team.

He didn't think that a head coach of Dillon's level would fail to guess that the Japanese team would attack after the start of the second half.

Since you can guess, why do you still do it?

Is Dillon stupid?

Carlisle was not so naive.

In fact, there is only one answer - because Dillon believes that his team has the confidence and strength to attack the Japanese team!

The Chinese team would actually play against the Japanese team at the home court of the Japanese team... This sounds unbelievable, but when you think about it carefully, it is not impossible.

Although the bench thickness of the Chinese team is not as thick as that of the Japanese team, each team can only play eleven players at the same time in a football match. In terms of the strength of the starting lineup alone,

The Chinese team can really play back and forth with the Japanese team without falling behind.

Carlisle was thinking, whether the Chinese team and the Japanese team are facing each other is their own opportunity, or the opponent's opportunity...

He was a little worried, but it was impossible for the team to slow down at this time.

This is equivalent to just stepping on the floor oil, followed by a sudden slam on the brakes, the car can easily lose control.

So even if he was a little worried, Carlisle couldn't temporarily change his tactics.

He only hopes that his players can be more competitive and score goals earlier.

As long as the Japanese team can score again, the balance on the field will be automatically broken.

At that time, he doesn't care what conspiracy the Chinese team has.

One goal can really change a lot.

It's like a watershed moment.

Tatsuya Sugiyama interfered with Xia Xiaoyu outside the penalty area, but he still took a long shot!

Lin Zhiyuan chose his position correctly, and he didn't even make a volley save, but directly received the incoming ball into his arms.

The cheers of the Japanese fans stopped in summer.

Lin Zhiyuan didn't continue lying on the ground, but got up quickly and launched an attack by throwing the ball with his hands.

Xia Xiaoyu, who was defending Tatsuya Sugiyama just outside the penalty area, immediately pulled away and rushed up from Tatsuya Sugiyama, ready to join the Chinese team's attack.

Sugiyama Tatsuya couldn't care less about covering his head with his hands, regretting that he didn't score a goal in this shot, and he quickly turned around to catch up.

But Lin Zhiyuan didn't throw the ball to Xia Xiaoyu, but to Chen Xingyi on the wing.

Chen Xingyi rushed forward with the ball. When he was approaching the halfway line, he was intercepted and defended by the Japanese players, and he passed the football to Zhang Qinghuan who came to meet him.

Zhang Qinghuan didn't catch the ball. He passed the ball between his legs and gave it to Xia Xiaoyu. Then he accelerated and ran forward, taking Morikawa Junping away.

As a result, there was a small gap in front of Xia Xiaoyu.

After Xia Xiaoyu led the ball forward, he passed forward diagonally.

It seems that it is still passed on to Zhang Qinghuan.

But Zhang Qinghuan missed the football again.

The football rolled towards Chen Xingyi who was advancing at high speed!

Chen Xingyi caught up with the football and made a cross!

Zhou Zijing jumped up to compete with the Japanese team's central defender Takehiro Nakaoka, but neither of them got the ball!

The football crossed the area in front of the penalty area and flew straight to the back point.

It was Hu Lai who appeared there!

While running, he began to adjust his pace, and finally he swung his right leg!

The captain of the Japanese team, Kengo Yamagami, flew over ~lightnovelpub.net~ and jumped towards Hu Lai, while turning his back to the past, trying to use his body to block Hu Lai's shot.

He didn't stop it!

Boom!

Hu Lai's outside instep of his right foot cuts the football!

Kengo Yamagami turned around and saw the football spinning at high speed and flying towards the bottom corner of the goal!

Although the goalkeeper Nobuo Nishiguchi made a save, but in the eyes of Kengo on the mountain, Nobuo Nishiguchi's hand and the football are still separated by thousands of miles

——Nobuo Nishiguchi turned back from the front point one by one, it is almost impossible to catch this ball...

Sure enough, before Nobuo Nishiguchi pounced, the football spun into the goal against the inside of the near post!

The "watershed" that determines the trend of the game has appeared!
