God of Greenery

The strength of Belgium is indeed much higher than that of New Zealand.

Although the Hua Guo team's on-the-spot status was not increased to 100% by Jiang Xiaolin, the 98% on-the-spot status was actually infinitely close to the full value, and the strength displayed was quite good.

Even so, the Hua Guo team did not get too many good shooting opportunities. Compared with the situation where there were almost loopholes in the face of New Zealand, it was really very different.

Of course, Belgium is not Italy after all, and it is impossible to do a watertight defense.What's more, they were facing the Hua Guo team, which was in full condition, and Jiang Xiaolin, who was driving a plug-in and had a very strong personal ability.

So, after supporting for half an hour, Belgium lost the second ball.

The ball wasn't lost in a game of play, but it was caused by a game of play.

The Huaguo team took advantage of a counterattack and Hao Junmin made a breakthrough on the right side of the front of the penalty area, which caused the opponent's foul and won a frontcourt free kick for the Huaguo team.

The Huaguo team had two free kicks before, but one was out of position and Jiang Xiaolin didn't take the kick.Another time, although the position was good, Jiang Xiaolin failed to play his best form, and finally a free kick hit the post and popped out of the baseline.

This is the third free kick for the Hua Guo team in this game. The position and distance are very good. Naturally, Jiang Xiaolin, who has full shooting and arc skills, will take the penalty.

Just looking at Jiang Xiaolin's posture behind the penalty spot made the Belgian players very nervous.

Marten Martens, who was also going to line up the wall, even asked Jiang Xiaolin when passing by: "Jiang, when did you practice free kicks so well? You didn't take free kicks when you were at the club."

Jiang Xiaolin said with a smile: "Of course I practiced this by myself during this period of time. There is nothing I can do with my talent!"

One sentence choked Marten Martens to death, and he was no longer friendly to his club teammates.

Martens cursed: "I wish you a bad phone."

Then he entered the position of the human wall, and under the command of the goalkeeper Bailey, he lined up the human wall carefully with his teammates, trying to block Jiang Xiaolin's near-end shooting route as much as possible.

Jiang Xiaolin didn't care about Martens' curse, because he knew that he couldn't use his phone.

Even if you are unlucky, if it is slightly higher, it will not be too high. It is also considered a threat shot and will not form a plane.

Of course, the best result is to hit the goal frame and avoid goalkeeper Bailey's ten fingers to form a goal.

For Jiang Xiaolin, this is the most perfect ending.

After commanding for almost half a minute, the goalkeeper Bailey felt that the wall he commanded was almost completely blocked at the near corner.

Then, he stood in the far corner of the goal, ready to keep the goal.

Seeing this, the referee blew the whistle for a free throw.

Jiang Xiaolin took two steps to run up and kicked the ball out with one kick.

The ball soared into the air, flew over the head of central defender Vermeeren on the outermost side of the wall, and then drew a huge arc in the air, heading towards the Belgian goal.

Jiang Xiaolin's shot was naturally a close corner.

The goalkeeper Bailey also had a premonition. The moment Jiang Xiaolin shot the goal, he suddenly activated and rushed from the far corner to the near end.

But Jiang Xiaolin's shooting speed and angle were still beyond Bailey's ability.

Although he predicted the range of Jiang Xiaolin's shot and rushed towards the near corner, the location of Jiang Xiaolin's shot was the upper right dead corner of the goal.

After the ball bypassed the human wall and drew a huge arc, it almost drilled into the Belgian goal at the intersection of the crossbar and the post.

Although Bailey tried his best to jump to the near corner to save, but in the end he couldn't do it. He could only watch the ball fly into the goal more than ten centimeters above his palm.

In the 31st minute of the game, Jiang Xiaolin broke through the Belgian goal again with an arc free kick, scored twice and helped the Hua Guo team take a 2-0 lead.

Immediately, the Huaguo fans at the scene and in front of the TV let out even louder cheers.

Everyone's excited.

If the 10-0 victory over the relatively weak New Zealand Huaguo team in the last game still made many people feel lucky and unbelievable, then facing the European team Belgium in this game, the Huaguo team can still win in the semi-finals. Achieving a 2-0 lead within an hour was enough for everyone to realize Jiang Xiaolin's strength and Hua Guo's overall performance.

In this half-hour game, the Hua Guo team not only scored twice with Jiang Xiaolin, but also successfully resolved Belgium's offensive performance countless times.

Except for Jiang Xiaolin, the performance of the other Olympic team players in this game was not inferior to that of the previous game.

It's just because Belgium is much stronger than New Zealand, so everyone didn't see the teamwork and goals like cutting melons and vegetables like the last game.

Even so, scoring two goals and conceding zero goals in half an hour is enough to make many fans feel ecstatic.

The performance of such an Olympic team has exceeded the expectations of many fans, which is very gratifying.

In contrast to Belgium, everyone looked helpless and speechless looking at Jiang Xiaolin surrounded by teammates celebrating.

In fact, even if the overall state of the Hua Guo team reaches 98%, its strength is at most comparable to that of Belgium.

If there is no Jiang Xiaolin, Belgium, which may occupy the offensive advantage on the field, may even win in the end.

But because of Jiang Xiaolin's existence, the Hua Guo team had the sharpest spear.In the case of a solid defense in the backcourt, as long as the ball is handed over to Jiang Xiaolin, he can poke a few big holes for the opponent.

Obviously, compared with Jiang Xiaolin, the Belgian striker's scoring ability is far, far worse.

Now they can only helplessly watch the Hua people celebrate wildly, but they are getting farther and farther away from qualifying for the group.

Yes, after falling behind 0-2, Belgium, which must win to keep its hope of qualifying, is getting farther and farther away from qualifying.

Therefore, after the game restarted, not only did Belgium not strengthen its defense because of Jiang Xiaolin's threat, but instead pressed the entire team to participate in the attack.

Because they really have no choice but to attack to survive.

As for conceding goals, there is no difference between conceding two or three goals anyway. Now they can only get a reversal of the situation if they score.

Therefore, in the next ten minutes of the first half, Belgium's offense was quite crazy, and the Chinese team couldn't pass the halftime at all. Even if they wanted to counterattack, they couldn't find a chance.

Finally, the Belgian team's aggressive attack paid off in the 44th minute before the end of the first half.

It was a solo performance by Belgian No. 18 striker Moussa Dembele.

After receiving a pass from his teammate on the side of the front field, he cut inside, dribbled the ball horizontally and broke through the interceptions of three Hua Guo players in a row, and then dribbled to the top of the penalty area and suddenly kicked a cold shot.

The ball passed through the penalty area against the turf, and the two players of the Hua Guo team in the penalty area failed to touch the ball to make a clearance.

Goalkeeper Qiu Shengjiong was blocked from his sight by his teammates in the penalty area, and he was a little slow to make a save. The result was a little bit short, and he could only watch helplessly as the ball went into the goal from his fingertips.

Belgium finally got back a point before the end of the first half, only one goal behind the Hua Guo team.

Neither side scored again in the next few minutes.

After 1 minute of stoppage time, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half. The two sides entered the intermission with a score of 2-1. The host Hua Guo Olympic team led Belgium by one goal.

Although the leading advantage at halftime of this game was not as terrifying as the previous game, the fans in the stands still gave warm applause when everyone left the field.

After all, Belgium is much stronger than New Zealand.

The Huaguo team can still take the lead in the game against Belgium, which is enough to make the fans feel satisfied.

In particular, the skills, cooperation, fighting spirit, etc. displayed by the Olympic players in this game are not inferior to those in the previous game, which makes the fans even more satisfied.

In fact, Huaguo fans are a group of people who are easy to satisfy.

As long as the players work hard and try their best on the court, even if they are inferior to others and lose the game, no one will complain.

What I'm afraid of is that some players didn't work hard in the past, walked on the court, and didn't work hard. This is what made the fans most angry and sad, and scolded the national football team.

In these two Olympic games, Huaguo players did not have these problems, not to mention winning and taking the lead, which naturally made the fans impeccable and gave them applause of encouragement.

During the halftime break, head coach Yin Tieshen reiterated the importance of defensive counterattack, and asked the team to continue to implement defensive counterattack tactics in the second half. On the basis of a solid defense, Jiang Xiaolin had the opportunity to attack the opponent's goal.

Backcourt players must guard the bottom line and not attack easily.

The Huaguo team has a great initiative in this game.

With the advantage of already leading by one goal, as long as the Huaguo team does not concede two goals in a row and lose the score, the Huaguo team will have the initiative to qualify.

Under such circumstances, it is Belgium that is anxious.

Although Belgium scored a goal in the second half of the first half by using the frenzy of overwhelming attack, but in fact, there are a lot of gaps in the opponent's backcourt.

Jiang Xiaolin failed to catch it in the first half, but it doesn't mean Jiang Xiaolin couldn't catch it all the time.

As long as Belgium dares to continue to attack like that in the second half and give Jiang Xiaolin a chance, the game can be ended and Belgium's hope of qualifying will be completely wiped out.

The key is that the Hua Guo team can no longer lose the ball.

Therefore, after a 15-minute break, the two sides changed sides to fight again. After the start of the second half, the Hua Guo team still insisted on their own defensive counterattack tactics, staying behind and waiting for Belgium to take the initiative to attack, and then waited for an opportunity to hit behind the Belgian defense.

Everyone knew what the Hua Guo team was up to, including the Belgians.

But they can't help it. They are behind now, and they don't have the initiative to qualify. They have to attack and have no other way.

Even if they knew that the Huaguo team was trying to lure them to attack, they had no choice but to attack aggressively, praying that like in the second half of the first half, the Huaguo team would not be able to seize the opportunity to counterattack, and they However, he was able to forcefully break through the Hua Guo team's goal by using the aggressive offensive.

But things backfired.

In fact, the probability of Jiang Xiaolin seizing the counterattack and scoring another goal in the second half of the first half is actually higher than the probability of Belgium scoring in the second half of the first half.

Jiang Xiaolin failed to seize the opportunity, but Belgium seized the opportunity to score. It can only be said that Belgium had better luck than Jiang Xiaolin at that time.

But Lady Luck doesn't patronize one side all the time, she often takes turns.

For example, in the 52nd minute after the start of the second half, Belgium created a very threatening attack in an attack. As a result, Marten Martens volleyed vigorously from outside the penalty area, and finally passed through the penalty area and avoided it. The goalkeeper's ten fingers were off, but in the end he hit the post and bounced back to the penalty area, and was kicked by defender Feng Xiaoting to the midfield to clear the siege.

If it weren't for bad luck, if it hit the post, Belgium would have equalized the score.

On the contrary, the Hua Guo team had better luck than Belgium in a counterattack.

In the 57th minute, Zheng Zhi cut off the ball from Belgian midfielder Jan Witungen and launched a counterattack. Under the pressure of two opponent defenders, Jiang Xiaolin could only dribble the ball forward on the side, and was forced to deviate from the shooting area in the middle. You can only grab a gap with speed to make a bottom pass.

As a result, Jiang Xiaolin's cross from the side was not grabbed by the players of the Huaguo team, but was knocked out by Belgian goalkeeper Bailey before Wang Yongbai.

But to the surprise of the Belgians and the great joy of the Chinese, the ball hit by Bailey's single punch just landed in front of the midfielder Zhou Haibing who also rushed into the penalty area.

Zhou Haibing, who was out of reach, didn't even make any shot, just watched the ball hit his thigh, and then bounced back to the goal in a trance.

The goalkeeper Bailey, who hit the ball and landed on the ground, was also caught off guard. He didn't expect that the ball he hit with a single punch fell on the opponent's player and bounced back to the goal.

When Bailey wanted to use his strength to make a save, it was too late.

In the end, the ball fell into the Belgian goal before Bailly's saving hand was in place, and Bailly finally made an empty hole.

In the 57th minute of the second half, the Huaguo team benefited from a single-punch clearance made by the opponent's goalkeeper. Zhou Haibing, who came in from the back row and rushed into the penalty area, smashed the ball into the goal with his thigh, winning 3-1 for the Huaguo team leading.

Suddenly, the entire Shenyang Olympic Sports Center was boiling.

Countless fans applauded, cheered, screamed, and some people waved the national flag loudly to vent their excitement.

The Hua Guo team was not overwhelmed by Belgium's overwhelming attack. Instead, they used a counterattack opportunity to score the first goal and extended their lead to two goals.

And now, there are only more than 30 minutes left before the end of the game.

For Belgium, which must win to retain its hope of qualifying, the situation is getting more and more severe.

Correspondingly, for the Hua Guo team, the subsequent games will naturally become more and more easy to play.

Just continue to defend and counterattack, take advantage of Belgium having to continue to press aggressively, sneak up occasionally, score another goal, and it will kill the game completely.
