Chapter 196
When he saw Bo Yang pick the ball over Wu Bufan's head, Ding Yu lowered his head and sighed slightly.

The cheers of the Spanish fans in the stands sounded in his ears, and Ding Yu knew that Spain had evened the score, only 5 minutes into the second half.

Ding Yu knew that Spain would launch a much more violent counterattack in the second half than in the first half, but he didn't expect it to come so fast and so violently—it seemed that Spain's sluggishness in the first half was only due to the field factors limiting them. After gradually getting used to the slippery field and the second half when the rain stopped and the ground began to dry, they easily recovered the points lost in the first half.

This discovery made Ding Yu feel frustrated, not only because of the draw itself, but also because there were 10 minutes left in the second half. If Spain's offense is really so strong, how many goals will the Chinese team have to concede?
The main reason for conceding the ball just now was Bo Yang’s excellent performance—he completely got rid of Hu Gandang, and Li Jie, who was filling in, couldn’t stop him—while the other defenders had tried their best to mark other Spanish players, Hu Gandang’s being thrown off doomed the fate of the Chinese team to concede the ball.

Ding Yu stood up.

"Continue to attack." He issued his order to Dai Guangming.

After hearing Ding Yu's words, Dai Guangming nodded heavily. He was blaming himself for the conceded goal - he thought that if he hadn't conceded the goal in the midfield, this conceded goal would not have happened.

After the game restarted, the Chinese team launched a massive counterattack. Dai Guangming made a sharp breakthrough with the ball to avoid Ojeda's defense, and then sent the ball to Fan Pengfei's feet at the front of the penalty area.

After passing the ball, Dai Guangming continued to get in. Fan Pengfei made a fake move to pass the ball back to him. When Nacho stretched out his foot to block it, he quickly dunked the ball in the opposite direction, turned around and entered the penalty area!

"Good opportunity!" Ding Yu stood up from the coach's bench. Although Fan Pengfei's shooting angle was already very small after two steps forward, Long Bisheng has already secured his position in the penalty area. As long as Fan Pengfei can pass a beautiful cross...

No cross, Fan Pengfei did not choose to cross, he resolutely chose to shoot directly from a small angle, and the ball flew to the upper right corner of the near point - his confidence is not without reason, this shot is quite beautiful!
But Degas made a wonderful save. He jumped up even though he lost his balance, and used his fingertips to lift the ball over the crossbar!
Fan Pengfei jumped up violently, he didn't expect Degas to make such a wonderful save under such circumstances!

It should have scored twice... Fan Pengfei thought regretfully.

"Damn it, why didn't you pass it to Aaron! He's already stuck!" Dai Guangming turned around and complained dissatisfied as he ran towards the corner.

"It's just a half-to-half chance." Fan Pengfei thought to himself, but did not answer Dai Guangming's words.Dai Guangming didn't continue to complain, after all, he was in a game now, and Fan Pengfei's shot was quite threatening, if it wasn't for the opponent's goalkeeper's outstanding performance...

Dai Guangming took a corner kick, and Long Bisheng forced a header under the attack of two central defenders, and the ball was slightly higher.

Degas took a goal kick, and Hu Gandang headed the ball in the midfield, but the ball still fell to Ojeda's feet. Ojeda immediately poked the ball to Bo Yang in front of Dai Guangming.

"Leave the ball to me!" Li Jie rushed forward aggressively, but Bo Yang didn't tangle with him, but directly passed the ball to the feet of Merida in front. Merida turned around and shot, but the ball was blocked by Chen Jian with his body.

The ball rolled to Iago's feet. The Barcelona midfielder controlled the ball in the middle. Zhang Yi returned to the center to help defend, but Iago immediately gave the ball to the left-wing full-back Malgado.

Spain's technical advantages were brought into full play at this moment. Even though he was a full-back, Malgado got rid of Gao Zhifa's defense and broke into the penalty area, and then cleverly knocked the ball to Bo Yang.
Chen Jian rushed forward again, but this time his replacement had the opposite effect. The ball hit his thigh and bounced towards the goal. Wu Bufan stopped abruptly after making a save, and stretched his long legs to block the ball!

But Merida's reaction was a bit faster than Chen Jian's. He made another kick on the rolling ball. Wu Bufan, who was still lying on the ground, only had time to wave his hand, and the ball flew into the goal from above his body!

In 6 minutes, Spain quickly overtook the score!
After the goal, Merida and Bojan embraced each other. One of the players who scored two goals was from the La Liga giants Barcelona, ​​and the other was from the Premier League giants Arsenal. However, the overseas players of the Chinese team only played in the second-tier league... Maybe this is the gap between the Chinese team and Spain!
"The Chinese team has caused enough troubles for Spain. Unfortunately, Spain's strength is still much higher than that of the Chinese team... Now that they are already behind, their situation is very bad. Spain will not let go of the opportunity to continue to expand the score. They will continue to put pressure on the opponent's goal when they are ahead. This is what Spain did in the first game. If the Chinese team can't cheer up, they will be very dangerous in this game."

South Korea’s on-site commentator said with some regret that in the already concluded game, the results of the five Asian teams were not very good. The host South Korea’s performance in a very good group was surprising. In the first game, they lost to Peru 3-[-], and in the second game they lost [-]-[-] to Costa Rica. The top two are hopeless. , as the strongest Chinese team in Asia, they performed well in the first game. This game also brought hope to the Asian teams, but depending on the situation, it is more or less ominous.

"Boyang can't continue to play like this." Ding Yu finally made up his mind. He has been hesitating whether to let the two players pinch Boyang, but he is worried about the performance of other Spanish players. But judging from the current situation, Boyang is in a very good state, with one goal and one assist.

"Li Jie! Hu Gandang! You two go to pinch Bo Yang!" Ding Yu stood up, and called Li Jie and Hu Gandang over while the Spanish players were still celebrating: "We must keep an eye on him and curb his breakthrough and pass! Let Gao Zhifa fill in the penalty area to play as a central defender!"

"What about the defense on the left?" Hu Gandang asked.

"It's enough for Zhang Yi to take care of it! They don't have a dedicated left midfielder, and the assists of the full backs are suppressed by offense!" Ding Yu gritted his teeth and said, "We can only fight against them now!"

Hu Gandang and Li Jie nodded at the same time to express their understanding. Indeed, under the current circumstances, they had no choice but to do this, otherwise they would just hand over the victory to Spain—they were not willing to do this.

"Also, tell the offensive players to pay more attention to efficiency when they are attacking! The midfielders should not lose the ball easily. If they lose the ball, they will fight back to slow down their attacking speed. It doesn't matter if they make too many fouls!" After saying this, he patted Li Jie and Hu Gandang on the shoulders and pushed them onto the field.

"Remember, this game is our final!" Ding Yu shouted at the players on the field.

Ding Yu really intends to put all his efforts into battle. In the other game that ended two hours ago, Argentina swept Honduras 2-[-]. Even if the Chinese team already had a point in hand, even if they lost this game, they would still be able to qualify for the third place in the group after defeating Honduras. But if they fight hard in this game, they may be able to compete for No.[-]!

After the game restarted, the Chinese team's defense against Bo Yang was extremely tight. Both Hu Gandang and Li Jie were excellent defensive players. Although they were often defeated when they played one-on-one with Bo Yang, it was because of their strength.

After being targeted by the two of them, although Bo Yang could still rely on his speed and technique to threaten the Chinese team's defense, the situation was much better than before. After the defense stabilized, the Chinese team's offense began to pose more threats to Spain.

After the first goal was conceded due to the interception of the ball in midfield, Dai Guangming’s performance on the field not only did not decline, but became more outstanding and stable. Ojeda began to look down on him a little bit.

When a pass from the side was made, Degas attacked to intercept the ball, but Long Bisheng's jump was higher than he expected, and he rushed the ball over his head before he got the ball!

After the ball flew to the highest point, it began to fall into the goal. Alex, who had returned to the goal, jumped up high and pushed the ball out on the goal line. Fan Pengfei jumped up vigorously and shook his head again to attack the goal.

Under the desperate attack of the Chinese team, the Spanish defenders also began to feel nervous.
