Chapter 096 Fierce battle in the semi-finals
After the game started, the C national team did not immediately launch a fierce attack. Instead, they adopted a steady and steady strategy. They would attack when they had the chance and advance slowly if they didn't. They mobilized their opponents to find their weaknesses. The key to the knockout round is not
How beautiful the scene is, just take the last match between the Chinese national team and the Swedish team as an example. It does not necessarily mean that the scene is superior, but whoever laughs at the end is the real winner.
In terms of strength, the two teams are actually on par. In this mutual testing, twenty minutes of the game passed. In the 25th minute, the C national team finally caught a rare opportunity and scored the first goal.
Goal.
At that time, after Li Zhao and Wang Ziyi completed a wonderful one-two in the opponent's half, Li Zhao entered the penalty area. After attracting two defensive players from the opponent's flank, he passed the ball to the unmarked Wang Ziyi.
After receiving the ball, Yi did not hesitate to face the goalkeeper, and hit the goal with a powerful kick that directly penetrated the opponent's goal. He has been in good form recently. After improving his shooting percentage, he used this simple and crude shooting method to improve his shooting ability.
It seems handy.
1-0, Team C scored first. However, perhaps due to their negligence after the goal, they were a little lax on the defensive end. This also gave the opponent an opportunity to take advantage of it, and they responded in more than ten minutes.
.
In the 37th minute of the game, the Honduras team seized on a loophole in the C national team's defense and successfully countered offside, and B. Velasquez scored the equalizing goal.
"Don't be anxious, everyone, do what you have to do and don't give the other side a chance. We'll just work it out slowly and get ahead of them again." Li Zhao reassured everyone in the field.
"Xiao Su, I originally thought that you should do the ideological work of the team members. Now it seems that with that little plum, your life is a lot easier. You are the coach off the court, and in addition to being the captain, he is also the
Look at the coach on the field!" The assistant coach looked at Su Maozhen's calm demeanor and deliberately teased.
"The team members should be able to adjust themselves to a situation like this. If I yell at you every now and then, I will be exhausted!" Su Maozhen said, he was quite happy to be at ease.
"Yes, we are blessed to have players like Xiao Li Zi. If it weren't for him, let alone what it is now, even qualifying for the group stage would have been very difficult," the assistant coach said.
"You're right. But I always have a feeling that if he hadn't joined the national junior team by chance, we might have failed as early as last year's Asian Youth Championship. So why?
Talking about now. Just look at the level of the previous players. Before he joined us, the players in the team were at that level, but after he came, everything was different." Su Maozhen said with emotion.
At this time, there was not much time left in the first half. Seeing that it had entered stoppage time, the C national team got a chance to take a free kick in the frontcourt.
This is a free kick 18 meters away from the goal. It is very close to the goal in terms of distance, but it is not easy to hit. The closer the free kick is to the goal, the easier it is to hit. On the contrary, because someone
Due to the wall factor, being too close will limit the angle and method of shooting. Of course, too far away will not work. The longer flight time will also give the goalkeeper more time to prepare. Generally speaking, the distance from the goal is 25 to 30 meters
The free kick on the meter is exactly the most conducive to the performance of the offensive player. As for whether it is a direct free kick or an indirect free kick, it is not a big problem. A simple cooperation between teammates can convert the indirect free kick into a direct free kick.
Although it is basically impossible for this ball to go around a curve ball such as a leaf ball, unless it can pass through the gap between the players very accurately, or it can seize the opportunity to hit a ground ball.
But Li Zhao did not choose these two methods, mainly because the ball was too far away from the goal, and there were only a few angles to choose from. Even if he successfully passed through the wall, the goalkeeper only had to wait at that position.
He returned in vain, so he didn't consider hitting the goal directly from the beginning, but he still had to look good.
As the referee's whistle sounded, he quickly rushed towards the football and made a strong volley, but at the end he suddenly controlled the momentum and tapped the ball to Wang Jinxian on the side, and then he
Then he disappeared from everyone's sight. Faced with an interception by the opponent's player, the latter decisively passed the ball to Wang Ziyi who followed up quickly.
Although there were many opposing players around Wang Ziyi, the goal gap he faced was larger, so he no longer hesitated and directly chose a powerful shot. This powerful and heavy shot was really difficult for the opponent's goalkeeper.
If you dare to catch the ball hard, you might lose your hand. You can only hit the ball out of the dangerous area with both fists, which is a relatively correct choice. But the football was robbed halfway, and it was Li Zhao who disappeared.
After receiving the ball from Wang Ziyi, Li Zhao knew what he was going to do, and also predicted the goalkeeper's reaction, so he could predict the approximate landing point of the ball. Fortunately, he was right about all this. Li Zhao intercepted the ball
At that moment, there happened to be no other opponent players around him, so he completed the shooting action as quickly as possible. Before the opponent's goalkeeper could react, the ball had already entered the opponent's goal.
2-1, Team C took the lead again before the end of the first half with this goal, and soon after, the whistle sounded to end the first half.
When the team was discussing tactics at halftime, Su Maozhen named Li Zhaodao: "Can you tell us how we should play in the second half?"
"I'm telling you, you are the coach!" Li Zhao said doubtfully.
"I ask you to say what you say, don't shirk anything. I know you have this ability. In the eyes of many people, you are just a player, but I think your future path is limitless, and it may be a unique path.
road." Su Maozhen said. After the last incident, the barrier between him and Li Zhao has actually melted, and now the relationship is more harmonious, and they seem to complement each other quite a bit.
"Well, in this case, I will show my shame. I think we don't have to worry in the second half. Since we are leading now, the anxious side should be them. I am not afraid that they will not take the initiative, because this is a knockout match after all. But we
You must not defend passively, but fight against them while ensuring the safety of your own defense. This will be more beneficial to you, and at the same time look for opportunities to expand the score and strive to finally seal the victory." Li Zhao analyzed.
"Well, what you said is very good, and it coincides with what I thought. The more anxious they are, the more flaws they may have. We must seize the opportunity and strive to win the opponent with one breath. I hope everyone can perform well.
At the same time, we must protect ourselves and avoid any more fouls or injuries. We must pay attention to protecting ourselves. If everything goes well, Zhang Yuning can come back in the next game, and then we will be able to compete with a complete lineup.
It will be another tough battle." Su Maozhen said.
"Yes, apart from this game, the opponents we will face in the future will become more and more powerful." The assistant coach also followed.
Chapter completed!
