Chapter two hundred and twentieth: Pogba's resistance!
In the 8th minute of the game, the French team had been in possession of the ball for nearly three minutes.
During this period, the Chinese team has been passively defensive, and the overall rhythm of the game was controlled by the French team.
Mo Yang knew very well that they could not continue to fight at such a fast pace and with strong pressure. He really wanted to slow down the pace of the game and let Zheng Zhi and the others take a breather, but there was nothing he could do if they couldn't get the ball.
But fortunately, everyone's energy seemed to be at its peak today, and some of the mistakes that Mo Yang had been worried about hadn't been seen yet.
Thinking of this, Mo Yang felt that the World Cup was really a magical event, and every player who stepped onto this stage felt like they were on a roll.
But soon Mo Yang had no time to think about these messy things.
Because the French offensive started again unknowingly.
In the 10th minute of the game, Tolisso relied on his excellent physical fitness to force his way past Hao Junmin from the encirclement directed by Mo Yang and break through the Chinese team's midfield defense.
This guy is very smart and has excellent skills with his feet.
After successfully breaking through, he suddenly kicked off before Zheng Zhi came up.
Suddenly the ball flew to the middle of the arc, allowing Mbappe, who was standing between Feng Xiaoting and Mei Fang, to successfully counter offside again.
This scene scared countless Chinese fans to their hearts content.
But luckily, Tolisso's kick was a little deep.
Let Mbappé jump forward inside the top of the arc and raise his feet high to stop the ball, but he did not completely remove the ball.
Mbappe rubbed the ball to the left and stopped it wide.
Just when countless people were worried, Feng Xiaoting forced his way to Mbappe's left side and quickly stretched out his foot to destroy the ball.
Seeing the ball roll to Jiang Zhipeng's feet on the right, countless fans who were almost scared to pee suddenly held it back.
"What the hell are you doing!!! Let him get through so easily!!!
"Please focus on me!!"
"Keep an eye on this Ninja Turtle!"
Yan Junling, who was also frightened in front of the door, yelled at Feng Xiaoting and Mei Fang.
Feng Xiaoting and Mei Fang looked helpless. Mbappe's explosive power is so terrifying!
The scene was filled with violent applause.
Mo Yang pressed his right hand on his left chest and kept patting his frightened little heart.
This scene was captured by the live camera, which made Xiaodi look up in joy.
After this fright, Zheng Zhi and others became more cautious. If they were not sure, they would never rush in easily and their position would be stuck.
Whenever any one of Mbappé, Dembe and Griezmann wants to break through alone, someone will immediately come over to defend him and work together to cut off the ball and quickly hand it over to Mo Yang.
In the 14th minute of the game, the French team made a comeback again.
Mbappe was in the center, Dembe came on the left, and Griezmann also drilled into the right rib, directly pinning the four Chinese team defenders to the front of the penalty area and not daring to move easily.
Tolisso got the ball on the right side of the center circle and took a few steps to the middle. He tried to get past Zheng Zhi with his own ability, but was knocked over by Zheng Zhi. Fortunately, he had quick feet and used his leg sweeper.
The action was the first to sweep the ball back to the half court, so that the ball was not lost.
Kanter got the ball and handed it to Pogba near the arc in the left half.
Pogba stopped the ball, looked up and saw Mbappe in the middle reaching for the ball. Just as he was about to pass it, he saw Mo Yang flashing on the passing line, staring at him intently and with ill intentions.
Suddenly Pogba had to hold it back, turned around and continued to pass back.
Kanter saw that the ball was back again, and he was immediately speechless. He knocked the ball back in anger.
After Pogba stopped the ball and observed it, he found that there was still no chance. He took a few steps, waited for Wu Xi to get close, and suddenly made a cross pass to Tolisso in front of the right center circle.
Tolisso stopped and pulled, turned around and faced the right half, and passed a long pass to Pavard who came in from the wing.
Jiang Zhipeng reacted quickly and quickly left the rib area, stuck inside and moved outside. He kept in mind Lippi's words that the best way to make up for it is not to make mistakes, so he did not rush forward out of caution.
Pavard didn't go down the wing either. After Zheng Zhi came over, he suddenly spiked the ball and turned back, passing the ball back to Tolisso who followed up from behind.
Seeing this scene at the top of the arc, Mo Yang immediately focused on Pogba in the middle in front of him, and he quickly rushed over.
The next second, the ball was passed to Pogba in the middle by Tolisso.
However, when Mo Yang stretched out his foot to grab the ball, Pogba actually leaked the ball behind him, and his genius imagination was revealed for the first time.
Behind Pogba, Dembe retreated from the top of the arc and got the ball.
Dembe stopped the ball at his feet and faced the goal, but he saw Wu Xi rushing from the left out of the corner of his eye.
Just as Wu Xi was approaching and stretching his foot, Dembe suddenly stepped on the ball with his right foot, pulled it back and pushed it forward to the left, and the ball came to his left.
Dembe used this backward V-shaped pull to avoid Wu Xi's attack and at the same time completed his turn.
Then he immediately distributed the ball to Hernandez, who was standing on the left rib, completely unmarked.
"Danger!!"
"The left side of the penalty area is empty!!!"
Seeing this scene, countless people's hearts started to rise again.
In the commentary stand, Zhang Lu and He Wei jumped up from their seats as if they had been stabbed in the buttocks, their fists clenched until they turned white.
In the penalty area, Mei reacted quickly and rushed towards Hernandez.
Seeing Hernandez raising his foot sideways, Mei Fang didn't have time to think too much and jumped up to block it.
As a result, Hernandez passed the ball, raised his left leg to the ball, and pushed the ball diagonally from the ground to the center.
In front of the end line in the middle of the penalty area, Griezmann was already in position.
When he saw the ball coming, his eyes were filled with ecstasy!
As long as he pushed the ball lightly, it would be difficult not to score from such a close distance.
The next second, Griezmann pushed the ball to the left goal as he wished.
But the moment the ball left his foot, a foot wearing a red sock stretched out and blocked the ball directly from the baseline.
Griezmann's face was filled with astonishment for a moment, and his eyes were full of disbelief.
"pretty!!"
“It’s Mo Yang again!
"It's Mo Yang again!! This is the third time he has made a key interception!" He Wei yelled into the headset beside his mouth.
The fans at the scene also became excited, venting their nervousness with cheers.
On the sidelines, Lippi kept applauding,
At this moment, Lippi is truly proud of having such a midfielder.
Because Mo Yang completed the task assigned to him perfectly.
In the first fifteen minutes, Mo Yang perfectly cut off the French team's midfield, as well as the offensive organizer Pogba and striker Mbappe. He, Zheng Zhi and others teamed up to suppress the entire French midfield.
The field always leaves the three of Mbappé in isolation!
Deschamps next to Lippi looked a little depressed.
His main idea in this game was to use the speed of Mbappe, Dembe and Griezmann to hit behind the Chinese team's defense.
But now it seems that the effect is very bad.
Not only did Griezmann fail to connect the strikers, but the connection between the midfielder and the strikers was also cut off by the Chinese team.
Soon, the game on the field resumed, and changes came quietly after the French team's corner kick.
As time went by, countless fans suddenly found that the pace of the game seemed to be gradually slowing down.
But the Chinese team, which had always seemed a bit passive, actually started to control the ball continuously, and the passing and control was very impressive.
Seeing this change, Zhang Lu in the commentary stand was particularly excited and said loudly: "Mo Yang is now trying to regain the rhythm of the game!"
"He slowed down the pace of the game through wide-scale transfers, passes, and ball control."
"His purpose in doing this is to minimize the possibility of letting the French team get the ball and prevent those French players with strong personal breakthrough ability from breaking through one-on-one or launching attacks through continuous cooperation. At the same time, it also eases the pressure on the French team.
Defensive pressure.”
"Judging from these few minutes, the effect is very good!"
In Zhang Lu's heart, this game was really a special one. It was unexpected, so unexpected.
Even though he lent Zhang Lu three courages before the game, he didn't expect them to be able to withstand the French team's continuous offensive pressure.
At this moment, there are hundreds of millions of domestic fans who feel the same as Zhang Lu.
In the eyes of some fans who are familiar with the national football team, they feel that the current national football team on TV is very unfamiliar, and it really surprises them that the defense can be as good as this.
