Chapter 117 A bad start
Shortly after the opening, the Argentine team launched a fierce offensive. The C national team thought that it could withstand this wave of offensive due to the stability of its defense. However, the actual situation was not as expected, and the problem was precisely its own side.
The defense line they relied heavily on. However, the C national team did not adopt a defensive style of play, but chose a normal attack, which made the already stretched defense line even tighter.
In the 8th minute of the game, the opponent had already launched three threatening attacks before, and this time the attack was even more violent. Since Wang Ziyi was higher up at this time, it also caused the defense to be blocked.
His strength weakened, and by the time he tried to withdraw, it was already too late. Li Xiaoming could not keep up with the opponent's forward, so he chose to pull him in as a last resort. As a result, he not only gave the opponent a chance for a free kick, but he also received a free kick.
Yellow card.
The free kick was in the right position and the distance was just right. Argentina's Ferreira started first, but when he was approaching the ball, he suddenly stepped aside, revealing Sanchez who was following behind. Sanchez kicked it out.
The ball then circled and flew towards the blind spot on the left side of the goal. The wall was affected, causing it to take off prematurely, which also affected Dyna's line of sight to a certain extent. Wait until he reacted.
After all, he was a step too slow, and the ball finally flew into the net just a few centimeters away from his fingertips.
0-1, Argentina took the lead.
Falling behind by one goal also caused the C national team to readjust its layout, and Wang Ziyi's position had to be moved back. In this way, the position was temporarily stabilized, but from the perspective of the scene, it was in a passive position.
However, after surviving a period of indiscriminate bombardment by the Argentine team, the C national team finally ushered in an opportunity.
In the 23rd minute of the first half, Wang Ziyi intercepted the ball in the backcourt and immediately passed it to the frontcourt. Li Zhao grabbed the ball while running and continued to advance. At this time, there were not many players in the opponent's backcourt.
The two Argentinian players who were blocking him in front of him immediately came over to double-team him. Li Zhao originally wanted to make a forceful charge, but when he saw Zhang Yuning who was following up quickly in another game and there was no one around him, he still chose to cross and move to him.
He also quickly got rid of the opponent and continued to charge forward.
Later, Zhang Yuning also chose to pass the ball when facing the opponent player who also intercepted him. In this way, he completed a clever one-two match.
At this time, there were only the last two opposing defenders left in front of Li Zhao, but they did not come up to double-team, but held their positions very well.
Seeing that the two defensive players were not fooled, Li Zhao could only continue to break through. After opening up enough space and entering the shooting range, Li Zhao still chose to shoot.
The opponent's goalkeeper reacted very quickly. He reacted promptly the moment Li Zhao shot the ball, and finally saved the ball from the bottom line with great difficulty.
Although he failed to score the ball, Li Zhao still expressed his gratitude and encouragement to his teammates.
In the next corner kick, Wang Ziyi missed the ball due to interference from the opponent.
In the 35th minute, the C national team also got a free kick from a good position. Unfortunately, Li Zhao did not take the kick well. The ball hit the wall and bounced back. Although Li Zhao grabbed the landing spot,
The follow-up kick was directly knocked away.
"It seems that my condition today is not very good!" Li Zhao couldn't help but smile bitterly to himself.
Although Team C still has a chance, it has to be said that their luck today was average, and the opponent's defensive ability was not as weak as they imagined, and there were no major mistakes. Similarly, Team Argentina also gave Team C the same opportunity.
The team's defense line posed many threats, so a stalemate was formed for a while.
Near the end of the first half, it was the C national team's defense that was in trouble again. Defender Huang Chuang was originally injured and tore a muscle in a confrontation with the opponent's offensive player.
This is also where Su Maozhen feels that he has made some mistakes recently. The players gathered this time have the most players in the midfield, and there are even too many players in the midfield. The frontcourt is also okay, and even if it is not enough, these midfielders also have
Many of them can be directly used. But only those in the backcourt can't. Fortunately, there is Wang Ziyi who can play both ends, otherwise he wouldn't be able to support it even with the few defenders he has.
Under such circumstances, Su Maozhen replaced him with Chen Weiming, who was the last substitute defender, so that Wang Ziyi's position was appropriately moved back, while Zhang Xiuwei replaced Wang Ziyi's original position. In this way, the team's
The formation also changed from 352 to 361.
Perhaps it was because the new players had not yet adapted to the conditions on the court, so they made several mistakes, which also laid hidden dangers for subsequent goals conceded.
In the 44th minute, when Chen Weiming attacked, he collided with Zhang Xiuwei who was retreating and both fell to the ground. Campaginos, the Argentine team member holding the ball, also seized the opportunity to break through the two of them and rush forward.
The goalkeeper completed the shot before Wang Ziyixie could defend him. Due to the sudden incident, the goalkeeper was not prepared. Although he touched the ball, he was unable to change its path and was diverted into the net.
0-2, Argentina scored another victory, and the score was maintained until the end of the first half.
"What did Team C play today? They didn't perform well at all! Argentina is not as strong as Nigeria. If they played with the same vigor as last time, the situation would never be so bad." Some fans said.
"Yeah, don't you think that third and fourth place doesn't matter, so you let it go!" another fan speculated.
"Other players can, but I know Li Zhao will never do it. Haven't you seen that he has always worked hard?" said a fan who prefers Li Zhao.
"That's not necessarily true. Didn't you see that several of his kicks today were subpar?" A fan immediately retorted.
"I think they fought too hard against their opponents in the last game, so they lost their strength. Didn't you see that the C national team's defense was short of manpower today?" said a fan who knew something about the situation.
A fair word.
The fans all have their own opinions, which is exactly the same as the various news media following up, but since it is just speculation, there is no conclusion.
During the halftime break, Su Maozhen expressed dissatisfaction with the performance of his players in the first half.
"How do you think the first half played? You also said that the opponent is strong offensively and weak defensively. Yes, their offensive power is indeed very strong, but their defensive ability is not weak. Who gave you the right to despise the opponent? You have
I have forgotten how many kilograms I have." Su Maozhen scolded the players, and after hearing his words, the players also lowered their heads.
"Zhang Xiuwei, what do you think?" Su Maozhen asked again.
"I'm sorry, coach. I didn't perform well in the first half." Zhang Xiuwei said. He was originally the vice-captain, but with the arrival of Wang Ziyi, his role is not as obvious as before, and his performance has been improving recently.
There are few things that stand out. Although he is still the main force, and his circle is not large, his position is a bit embarrassing.
"You have also been a captain before. You have to know your role on the court. I hope you can cheer up in the second half." Su Maozhen said.
Then Su Maozhen looked at Chen Weiming and said: "I know you don't have much playing time and you want to rush to perform. But since you have to recognize the situation clearly on the court, don't stick to the ball if you don't have the ability, conduct more passes, and don't run around blindly.
, I didn't ask you to come up to cause trouble. If you can't adapt as soon as possible in the second half, I can only waste another substitution."
"Coach, I was also wrong." Li Zhao suddenly said.
"What's wrong with you?" Su Maozhen asked. Among the players on the field, the only one he would not question was Li Zhao, because his efforts have always been known to everyone.
"First of all, I will self-examine myself. My condition today is not very good and I have wasted several good opportunities. In addition, as the captain, I failed to pay attention to everyone's situation and reminded the players in time. This is my dereliction of duty. I must play well in the second half.
Urging everyone." Li Zhaodao.
"Very good, that's pretty much it. In fact, this is the last battle. No matter we win or lose, I won't blame you. But if anyone deserts on the court or doesn't try his best, I won't let him go. I know you guys
Many people have other ideas now, but those are all for the future. I advise you all to put away your small thoughts. Since you have to give your best on the court, how long will you keep it if you don’t fight now?
