Chapter 73 An equalizer is never enough
"The referee's hand reached into his pocket! He is going to take out the cards!" Liu Jianhong said excitedly.
Jenkins kept explaining to the referee with a grievance, but the referee had no chance at all, so he took out a yellow card.
Two yellows turned red, and Jenkins was sent off directly.
"The situation on the field has changed. Now the Chinese team is 11-10 and one more player is fighting, which is very beneficial to the situation of the Chinese team. However, first of all, we must equalize the score as soon as possible. If the score continues like this, the situation will become increasingly unfavorable!"
The Chinese team's set-piece opportunity.
When Xu Qi saw that the opponent Jenkins was sent off, he slowly got up from the ground and prepared to attack with his teammates.
Because the National Olympic Team had no high points in the penalty area, this set ball could not pose any threat, Chen Tao directly drove a short ball and passed it directly to Xu Qi.
Under the opponent's press, Xu Qi received the ball with his back and returned to Chen Tao, then quickly turned around and ran, and Chen Tao's ball passed back.
The two players played a simple cooperation and threw away an opponent's defensive player.
The Chinese National Olympic Team began to continue besieging New Zealand's goal again.
Xu Qi took the ball and faced the opponent's defender Hog. Xu Qi quickly turned to the right and kicked his feet directly!
"The scimitar is unsheathed!" Xu Qi was quite confident and even had a sound effect in his mouth.
The ball was quickly pushed out by Xu Qi, but the ball was blocked by Hog's long thighs.
"Oh!" Xu Qi regretted for a moment. Obviously, the ball was blocked and disappointed him.
"I have practiced my unique skills for two months. I failed the first time I used them!" Xu Qi didn't have time to regret, so he hurried to find the landing point of the ball.
The ball was not blocked far away, but was blocked at Zheng Zhi's feet. Zheng Zhi saw the right defender Tan Wangsong inserted and directly divided the sides.
Tan Wangsong took a look at the penalty area and finally made a cross without anyone noticing!
Dong Fangzhuo in the penalty area quickly started, directly used his start speed to throw away the defender, rushed to the nearest of the small penalty area, and then possessed himself and rushed to the top!
"The ball is in!"
The ball flew into the net directly against the near post!
"The first goal in the history of the Chinese Olympic Games was born! Dong Fangzhuo, who came on the bench, scored the equalizer goal." Liu Jianhong was quite excited and roared.
The atmosphere of the fans at the scene was once again ignited. Although this was not the goal that allowed the team to lead, it was already very difficult to equalize the score at this time.
Next, the Chinese National Olympic Team has plenty of time to surpass the score!
Three points must be obtained.
The players did not celebrate with excitement. The goal to tie the score did not allow them to release the pressure, and the boulder hanging in their hearts was not put down.
There is only one way to win in this game. The bold words before the game have been blew up. If you only get one draw in this game, you will definitely be scolded.
Everyone knew this, so after New Zealand kicked off again in the midfield, they started to press forward and prepare to press the opponent.
Xu Qi's brain was running wildly. He kept judging the possible pass route of the New Zealand team. He wanted to appear on the opponent's pass route as soon as possible to intercept.
The style of the New Zealand team is more like Xu Qi, which is really the Premier League relegation team faced in Dream Training Camp, but the New Zealand team's skills are worse and they have more times to play.
This kind of constant kicking makes it difficult for Xu Qi to effectively intercept the midfield.
Of course, the success rate of such offensive routines is also very low. The Chinese National Olympic Team's defense line does not suffer particularly in the face of the opponent's forwards, and can grab the first point in the process of fighting for the top.
At this time, Xu Qi would quickly judge the second point and successfully control the ball under his feet.
The game continued, and the Chinese team kept creating opportunities, but they were a bit far away from the goal.
The fans off the court were very anxious, and I'm afraid the fans in front of the TV were the same.
The commentator Liu Jianhong, who was a little excited just now, said less during this period, and he felt nervous.
The team has been unable to get better opportunities again, and there is no routine at all on the offense, and it is difficult to create opportunities for crossing or shooting. Either the last pass is completely in place, or the shot is directly hit.
This also makes many fans confused. Is this a group of amateur players? Why can't these basic passes and shots be done well?
Of course, this is a game played in the hot summer. The stuffy weather will affect the condition, and in the second half, the team's physical fitness also declined significantly.
Therefore, it is not unreasonable to make mistakes. The level of the National Olympic Team is like this, but some of the past records in the past still make fans look forward to this team too much.
Seeing his teammates sweating profusely and even breathing very hard, Xu Qi shook his head as if nothing had happened.
"Our physical fitness has declined, and New Zealand is not much better! And I changed it in the second half, so my physical fitness is fine!" Xu Qi said silently. The scimitar must be unsheathed again next, and this time, we must not let these guys block it again.
With Cui Peng fighting with the opponent's midfielder, the team doctor entered the field.
Players on both sides took advantage of this time to go to the sidelines to drink water, and then poured water on their heads to cool themselves.
Xu Qi also rinsed his mouth and walked back to the stadium.
The game continues.
It is still the situation where the Chinese team controls the ball and attacks. Although the New Zealand team's defense is not strict, the Chinese team still makes too many offensive mistakes.
As the game reached 75 minutes, the remaining time for the game was getting less and less.
Due to the decline in physical fitness, the Chinese team's offense has less frequent attacks, and they often pass directly into the penalty area to send it.
"If you play like this, the success rate will be lower!" Xu Qi was helpless, but there was no way. Every time a midfielder got the ball, he would find that no one came to pick him up. The less anyone came to pick him up, they could only choose to pass a long time.
Anyway, short passes are easy to make mistakes and be cut off. Instead of being cut off and scolded by scolding, it is better to directly make a long pass. If the long pass is not accurate, you won't be scolded.
"Oh, let's pass for a long time!" Xu Qi does have rich experience in the game. Even if he plays the long pass tactics, he has a way of playing with the long pass tactics.
In the penalty area, Dong Fangzhuo is usually behind the scene, and sometimes Zheng Zhi will rush over.
At present, only these two people in the frontcourt of the National Olympic Team have certain ability to compete for the top.
Xu Qi never thought about entering the penalty area. It was impossible to make a profit when facing a group of defensive players of more than 1.8 meters or even 1.9 meters.
But this does not mean that he cannot use this long pass tactic. He stayed outside the penalty area and was looking for the opponent's chance to clear the ball out of the penalty area.
Chapter completed!
