Chapter 194 Lightning Strike

On the football field, strengths and weaknesses are often very clear, but in terms of victory and defeat, it is not so clear. Whether you can have the courage to win when facing a strong enemy is the biggest factor in whether you can be upset!
At least in terms of the mentality of the game, the Chinese team has already stood on the same starting line as their opponents.

As soon as the game started, the kick-off Chinese team took the lead in attacking.

After a few concise passes in the backcourt, the ball passed to Dai Guangming's feet in the middle. Dai Guangming stopped the ball at his feet, glanced at him, and immediately stretched out his foot before Ojeda came up to defend, and poked the ball to Fan Pengfei, who was running to the front of the penalty area.

Fan Pengfei, who did not play in the first game, had no physical problems. After receiving the ball, he immediately dribbled the ball into the penalty area and began to break through. Barcelona center back Alex came up to him. Fan Pengfei did not fight hard with his opponent. Instead, he dunked the ball horizontally and dribbled the ball horizontally along the penalty area line.

Alex also immediately prepared to intercept laterally, but just as he started, Long Bisheng suddenly crossed Fan Pengfei and blocked in front of Alex.
It was raining lightly today, and the field was slippery. The ball seemed a bit heavy after being wet. The ball that Fan Pengfei shot out roared into the penalty area, and then flew towards the upper right corner of the goal.

Water splashed everywhere, and a pair of fists smashed the ball fiercely. Degas did not choose to catch the ball. At the beginning of the game, his body had not yet moved, and the ball was heavy due to the water, Degas wisely chose to hit the ball out of the penalty area, but the ball just flew near the penalty area line, Long Bisheng jumped up and pushed the ball down. Dai Guangming followed and hit the goal again. The ball hit another defender Nacho and flew out of the baseline.

For the corner kick, the Spanish head coach Santi Stevan stood up in surprise. He did not expect that the Chinese team launched an attack that almost broke the boat at the beginning of the game, and this time the corner kick... Santi Stevan felt threatened.

If there is a defect in Spain's defense, then the defect must be their height—except for Alex, who is 1.8 meters tall, the other three defenders are all no more than 1.8 meters tall.

Dai Guangming put the ball on the corner kick and observed the situation in the penalty area. He saw that Long Bisheng in the middle was closely followed by two defenders. He did not send the ball to the middle of the penalty area, but directly passed it to the back of the penalty area!
Li Jie, who put in the assist, hit the ball at the back point. Faced with this close-range header, Degas failed to make any reaction. Seeing the net tremble violently, the Chinese players off the field cheered!
But the cheers quickly turned into sighs - Li Jie hit the ball on the side net, which looked like a goal from the off-court perspective, but the goal really didn't go in.

The Chinese team scored two very threatening shots in the opening game, but the Spanish coach Santi Stevan was not in a hurry. He sat back on the coaching bench, and Ding Yu looked at him from a distance, feeling a little surprised and admiring that this old man was so calm.

What he didn't know was that the reason why Santi Stevan was so calm was because he believed that his players would never panic because of these two attacks. Europe and South America are the two continents with the strongest football in the world. It's just that I'm afraid of African teams.

His players lived up to his trust and after De Gas's goal kick, Spain went on the attack calmly.

Although the slippery field has a certain impact on the technical flow of Spain, their good technical skills still allow them to insist on ground attack on such a field-in fact, it is a last resort. The three Spanish forwards Bojan is the tallest, only 1.7 meters three, Aquino from Murcia is 1.7 meters two, and Arsenal's Ojeda is only 1.7 meters-although this height does not mean that they cannot compete for headers, but in any case, hitting the ground is what they are best at.

If Spain is a La Liga team, then the Chinese team is a European team for offense and a domestic team for defense—except for Li Jie, the other three defenders are all players from the domestic league. Facing Spain’s quicksilver attack, their fights are extremely fierce—body confrontation with technology is the kingly way.

Li Jie did not fight against Bo Yang as Ding Yu had arranged. Among the three forwards in Spain, Bo Yang was relatively late, more like a second striker or a midfielder, using his skills and speed to revitalize Spain's frontcourt offense.

Squatting down slightly, the whole person is like a leopard ready to go, staring closely at Bojan's movements—even though he plays in the Netherlands, Hu Gandang has never stopped observing the four major leagues, and he has heard of Bojan's reputation for a long time. After all, there are jewels such as Fabregas, Santos, and Piqué. Now La Masia's products have become a guarantee of quality, but Hu Gandang is only excited when he meets such an opponent.

Bo Yang moved, and then Hu Gandang moved immediately. Just when Bo Yang was about to break forward with the ball, Hu Gandang immediately stuck to it, ready to use his strong body to make the opponent lose his center of gravity.

Naturally, Bo Yang wouldn't be easily caught by this opponent who was a lot stronger than him, so he dexterously dodged a step to the side, and immediately dribbled the ball to go around Hu Gandang.

Hu Gandang was guarding against this when he rushed forward, seeing that Bo Yang moved sideways, he immediately stabilized his center of gravity, and stuck Bo Yang from the side.

But Bo Yang flicked his ankle and stabbed the ball under Hu Gandang's crotch, then immediately accelerated and rushed past Hu Gandang's side.

The ball is divided!Immediately there was a burst of cheers from the watching Korean fans in the stands.

Bo Yang caught up with the ball and was about to continue dribbling it, when suddenly a sense of danger came to his mind, before he had time to make a detailed judgment, he flicked the ball up, and then he jumped up!

Just after he jumped up, Hu Gandang's flying shovel from the side and rear flew right under his feet, and Bo Yang, who was in the air, broke out in a cold sweat-this opponent was too fierce, the game had just started, and his current position was not particularly threatening, so he just shoveled over, wouldn't he be afraid of getting a red card?
Hu Gandang's action seemed reckless, but in fact he knew it well. The part of his shovel was aimed at the ball. Even if the referee's penalty was severe, he would only get a yellow card at most.

Bo Yang landed and controlled the ball, but Hu Gandang had already got up, and immediately rushed towards him again.

Facing such a tenacious opponent, Bo Yang could only sigh in his heart, raised his foot and passed the ball to Jordi who was on the right, and then ran towards the penalty area by himself.

Jordi encountered Huang Zhenghong's stalking defense. His defense made the Spanish new winger, who resembled Joaquin both in appearance and technique, feel a headache. In the end, he could only choose to drop the ball directly into the penalty area. Li Jie made a clearance with a beautiful header.

Spain has no advantage in headers in the penalty area. Li Jie has an excellent header and accurately judges the position of the block. Chen Jian is steady and fills up in time. Although they have not cooperated for a long time, the cooperation between the two is extremely tacit.

Li Jie's header was stopped by the retreating Dai Guangming. Instead of dribbling the ball, he made a long pass directly to Long Bisheng's head in the frontcourt.

People can never run as fast as the ball - Dai Guangming's pass was blocked by Long Bisheng. After receiving the ball, Fan Pengfei immediately distributed it to the surrounding area, and then rushed towards the penalty area with Long Bisheng one after the other.

The counterattack of the Chinese team was extremely resolute, and the counterattack of three or four people was quite effective. Spain's overall coordinated attack left them with a large gap in the backcourt. The Chinese team used a strong body to fight against the defense in the backcourt. It is worse than Spain, but the Chinese team is not significantly weaker than Spain in terms of offense or defense. This is the biggest capital for Ding Yu to choose to attack in this game!
Under Rosella's defense, the surroundings continued to advance with their own speed and technique. The two entangled all the way and entered within the 30-meter area. Suddenly, the surroundings stopped suddenly, and then a big kick sent the ball to the right. Zhang Yi unloaded the ball while running, and immediately lifted his right foot. The ball drew a wonderful arc and flew into the penalty area!
Long Bisheng jumped high while running, flicked the ball with his head, and threw the ball near the penalty spot. Fan Pengfei jumped in at high speed and volleyed directly in front of Nacho!

The ball flew into the lower left corner of the goal like an arrow!Although Degas fought hard to save, he still failed to touch the ball!

Ten minutes after the start of the first half, the Chinese team took advantage of a lightning counterattack and scored the first goal!
It took less than a minute from Dai Guangming's counterattack in the backcourt to Fan Pengfei's beautiful shot from Long Bisheng's ferry to the goal!
