"Beep!!" Pitana's sharp whistle sounded and he quickly rushed to the scene of the incident.
At this moment, everyone's hearts were raised, and they were afraid that if they saw Pitana waving his hand towards the penalty spot the next second, it would be the end of the ball!
In the blink of an eye, Pitana waved his hand, indicating that it was a free kick.
Suddenly everyone fell back slightly with concern.
But this free kick on the right side of the penalty area was probably more than 20 meters away. It was too close. Croatia has no shortage of free kickers.
"It's so important for Li Ang to come out this time! He blocked the breakthrough line in front of Rebic in time!"
"Rebic is also very oily. When he noticed the taller Li Ang coming over, he did not choose to force a charge, but took advantage of the situation and hung on Li Ang's feet to take a free kick!"
"Yes!" Hearing He Wei's words, Zhang Lu nodded in approval, "Croatia moved back and forth too quickly this time. The ball returned to the right wing in just a few seconds, giving Zheng Zhi and others no time to get in position!"
Fan Zhiyi shook his head and smiled, and said: "Li Ang is still too young! He didn't come out resolutely enough. He had to be called by Mo Yang before he came out."
If Fan Zhiyi had been on the court for this ball, he would have come out early without saying a word. Anyway, there were no Croatian players at the top of the arc, and Mo Yang was back, so I was afraid of it.
As long as Li Ang arrives in advance, the ball can be cleared in advance and will not turn into a knife-shaped ball.
As soon as he thought of this, Fan Zhiyi wished he could go into battle, but unfortunately time is not forgiving, so there is nothing he can do!
"Sir, I have entered the penalty area! This is definitely a penalty kick!"
On the field, Rebic pestered the referee Pitana to tell lies.
Modric and Mandzukic were also nearby. The three of them surrounded the referee and tried to put pressure on the referee.
Another client, Li Ang, was also nearby, but as he didn't speak English, he was so anxious that his face turned red, fearing that Pitana would just listen and change the sentence, which would be a tragedy for him.
Fortunately, Zheng Zhi and Mo Yang came over quickly and put pressure on the referee.
"Siduopu! Gentlemen, I am not short-sighted!"
"I saw clearly that the foul spot was just outside the penalty area, so this is definitely not a penalty kick!"
Pitana, whose brain hurt from the noise, rushed out of the encirclement, turned to face Modric, Mo Yang and others and said decisively.
"Please don't question my judgment!" Pitana said with a straight face and raised his finger to point at the earphones. It was self-evident what he meant.
Seeing that the original verdict was upheld, Mo Yang smiled. He actually forgot that there was a var video referee team.
And Modric had a wry smile on his face, obviously they had forgotten about this.
At this moment, they hated the video referee team.
If you say this thing is good, sometimes it will make you hate it, but sometimes it will make you infinitely grateful. It’s really terrible!
"Mo Yang, you're not tall enough, so don't get into the wall and let Micro Motion Wing come!"
"Old Feng, your mother, please stand to the right, your position is too far to the left!"
"Li Ang, stand in the middle!!"
In front of the door, Yan Junling was bending down and directing the people to stand on the wall.
Mo Yang, who was wearing 184 shoes, was disliked. He rolled his eyes and left the wall, walking directly to the top of the arc.
After a while, the wall was lined up. Looking at Modric and Rebic standing in front of the wall, Mo Yang kept thinking about what he would do with the ball if it was him.
Although this free kick of less than 20 meters can directly threaten the goal, it is also difficult to bypass the wall because the distance is too close.
"who is it?"
"Rebic?"
"Or Modric?"
After thinking for a moment, Mo Yang finally thought that Modric should be the one to play.
But he couldn't guess how Modric would play!
At this moment, when he saw Rebic, who was standing in front of the ball like Modric, with his hands on his hips and his head lowered as if to adjust his breathing, a bright light suddenly flashed in Mo Yang's mind.
As soon as this thought appeared, the more Mo Yang thought about it, the more likely it became.
"Beep!!!!!"
Just then, Pitana blew his whistle.
In front of the ball, Rebic moved first, but when he came to the ball, he chose to run directly past it. The wall was shaken and he did not jump up completely.
Then Modric followed up, stepped on his footing, and swung the ball sideways in one go.
"Don't jump!!!!"
Mo Yang was so nervous that he shouted directly without caring whether he might make a mistake in judgment.
But it's too late!
This time, the wall jumped high, but Feng Xiaoting's face was full of astonishment, because he found that the ball was exactly like Mo Yang said, it just jumped past his feet against the turf, and went straight to the goal, like a knife through the heart.
sword.
At this moment, Feng Xiaoting felt horrified that he had been deceived!
But fortunately, Yan Junling's position selection in front of the goal was pretty good, and Modric's route of sticking his feet to the ground was not tricky. He went straight to the far side post, allowing Yan Junling, who was lying on the ground and fully stretched out his body, to just reach it with his fingertips.
Yan Junling just touched the ball like this, and the ball had a slight tendency to change its line.
"fool!!!!!!!!"
Seeing the ball being flicked by Yan Junling's fingertips, it bounced off the post with a clang, and Zhang Linpeng rushed into the penalty area to clear the ball out of the sideline. All the 50,000 fans present screamed in fright.
"pretty!!!!"
"Yan Junling has made a meritorious service!!!"
In the live commentary stand, Xu Yang and Shao Jiayi looked particularly excited.
At the top of the arc, Mo Yang was so frightened that his heart was pounding.
Modric looked full of regret! It was just a little bit worse!!
Soon, the Croatian sideline ball was sent out, and the attack on the left was blocked by the defense commanded by Mo Yang. They passed the ball directly back to the backcourt for transfer.
"Now Croatia is continuing to open up the wings and use active running in the middle to tear open our two ribs!"
"Yes, this is already the second time Croatia has created a crisis in the ribs!"
In the domestic live broadcast room, Zhang Lu and others have keenly discovered that Croatia's tactics have quietly changed.
On the sidelines, Lippi was actually wary of Croatia's attack on the Chinese team's ribs. He was just a little unsure before, but now he is sure.
However, at this moment, Lippi had a smile on his face.
Because Croatia’s decision played right into his hands!
On the field, Mo Yang also discovered Modric's plan after Croatia's attack.
He waved his hand, and Zhang Lu and others were surprised to find that the Chinese team had changed its formation.
The 451 formation once again builds a narrow defensive strip in front of the back line to protect the ribs and the rib-side area.
In the 21st minute of the game, Croatia once again tried to explode from the left rib.
But when the ball came to the rib area, they were directly surrounded by four players including Zhang Linpeng, Wu Lei, Feng Xiaoting, and Wu Xi, and the ribs were immediately blocked.
Perisic, who was dribbling the ball, quickly lost the ball under the double team.
After Wu Lei got the ball, he was counterattacked by Strinic on the spot.
Without too much entanglement, he took advantage of the situation and swung the angle and passed directly across the ball.
In the middle, Modric rushed towards Mo Yang again.
However, before anyone could get closer, Mo Yang took a long step forward and directly pushed the ball towards Bai Lele in the middle of the frontcourt.
In front of the arc in the center circle, Bai Lele turned around after taking the ball and started to speed up. When he saw Croatia's Vida and Lovren who were trailing in front of him, they began to retreat. Instead of leaning towards the center, he stepped forward and dribbled the ball.
Go to the right road.
At the same time, Wu Lei, who came in from behind, ran directly to the middle.
At this moment, the offense and defense change positions!
"Boom boom boom boom!!!!"
"Boom boom boom boom boom boom!!!!!!"
The intensive drumbeats sounded, getting faster and faster! Many Croatian fans felt panicked when they heard this!
After Bai Lele brought the ball to the right wing, his speed immediately increased. With only two touches of the ball, he reached outside the penalty area on the right wing.
That speed makes Chinese fans excited and foreign fans' hearts beat faster!
After turning to face the penalty area, he saw Strinic chasing after him behind him. Vida in the penalty area also approached, and Bai Lele stopped in front of the edge of the penalty area.
The next second, forceful attack!
Bai Lele relied on her body and starting speed to directly confront Vader head-on.
This was the first time that Vader faced Bai Lele's strong physical fitness and terrifying instantaneous acceleration ability.
Even though Vader was fully prepared mentally and physically, he was still knocked to the side and lost his center of gravity.
After successfully breaking through, Bai Lele shot straight into the near corner without any hesitation.
In the blink of an eye, there was a bang! Lovren's defense was in place, and a sliding tackle blocked the ball out of the baseline!
"fool!!!!!!!"
Seeing this attack with both speed and breakthrough, the fans at the scene were once again frightened to the point of excitement, and they all let out a short exclamation.
On the sidelines, Croatian head coach Dalic already understood the Chinese team's tactical intentions.
The cunning Italian's tactic after scoring the goal was to let them attack, and then use the precise guidance of the Chinese team's monster midfielder to hit directly behind them.
Not only that, but continuously mobilizing them back and forth between the two halves in this way can also drastically consume the physical energy of their players.
At this moment, Dalic, who wanted to understand, wanted to strangle Lippi, the cunning fox.
But one wrong step, one wrong step after another! There was nothing he could do about it! Whoever let their players fail to live up to expectations, they conceded the ball at the beginning and fell into the trap set by others step by step.
"I see!!!"
"I see!!!!"
At this moment, Zhang Lu, Fan Zhiyi and others who were far away in the domestic live broadcast room also understood.
"Croatia has now fallen into Lippi's scheme! He just wants to use Mo Yang's passes to constantly hit Croatia's back in an attempt to physically wear down the older Croatian team!"
"An old fox is an old fox!"
"Dalic has lost the opportunity now! His team must attack!"
"The average age in Croatia is 27.9 years old. This age is not old, but it is not young either. However, the three players of Modric, Rakitic and Mandzukic are actually considered old for professional players.
Now, we have entered a period of declining competitive status!”
"It is difficult for their physical fitness to support such high-intensity back and forth running!" Zhang Lu said with emotion on his face.
In the World Cup, not only the collisions between teams were turbulent, but the confrontation between the head coaches at the tactical level was also turbulent.
At this moment, Zhang Lu, He Wei and others were a little confused.
Although Mo Yang did not gain absolute control of the midfield in this game, he still had some control and did not let Modric and Rakitic have fun.
Looking at it now, if we continue to fight like this, we might actually win!
