God of Greenery

On the court, Nigeria has been relying on the stronger skills, body and speed of their players to aggressively attack the Hua Guo team, pressing the Hua Guo team in their own half and almost unable to get out.

It seems that Nigeria's offense is very fierce, and the Huaguo team is in jeopardy, and it looks like they may lose the ball at any time.

But in fact, most of Nigeria's offenses rely on the performance of individual players. Although there are exquisite teamwork, they are very rare, just like a flash in the pan.

As for the Huaguo team, although the individual abilities of the players are not as good as Nigeria's, they can exert their maximum ability under the blessing of [-]% on-the-spot state, and the cooperation with teammates can also achieve the best effect within the scope of ability. Few mistakes.

Therefore, Nigeria's offense looks fierce, but it rarely threatens the Hua Guo team's goal.

Even the number of times that threatened the Hua Guo team's penalty area was very small.

Of course, there are also reasons for the Huaguo team to deliberately shrink their defense, play defensive counterattacks, and attract opponents to attack aggressively.

The Hua Guo team's tactic was to defend and counterattack. After Jiang Xiaolin scored a goal and took the lead, this tactic became more determined and confident.

Attracted by the deliberate shrinking defense of the Hua Guo team, the Nigerian formation, which is trying to continue to increase its offensive efforts to score goals and equalize the score, is getting higher and higher.

Finally, in the 13th minute, the Hua Guo team almost made another counterattack, scaring the Nigerian players and fans enough.

This time, it was also the Hua Guo team who stole the ball from the backcourt and made a long pass. Jiang Xiaolin used his speed to chase the ball against offside, trying to catch the ball to form a one-handed threat, just like the first ball.

However, this time, Nigeria's player who blocked Jiang Xiaolin, forward Aguirol, has learned the lesson of conceding the ball for the first time, and he is much more decisive.

The moment Jiang Xiaolin approached him and was about to overtake, Aguirol stretched out his hands and grabbed Jiang Xiaolin's body and clothes firmly. Finally, Jiang Xiaolin didn't get rid of him again, and pulled him down on the road that had just passed the center line. place, no longer rushed over to form a one-handed threat like the first time.

The Hua Guo team kicked the ball to the frontcourt and was cleared by the chasing Nigerian player out of the touchline.

However, this time it was not a foul, because Aguirol, who brought down Jiang Xiaolin, made a serious foul, and was directly shown a yellow card by the referee, and awarded Hua Guo a free kick in midfield.

Aguirol has long known the consequences of forcibly pulling Jiang Xiaolin down and preventing him from rushing forward to form a single-handed counterattack.

Therefore, he was not surprised to be shown a yellow card by the referee. Without any excuse, he got up and started to retreat, returning to his defensive position.

Jiang Xiaolin also got up from the ground and shook his head slightly, feeling a little regretful about the opportunity to counterattack this time.

But deliberate fouling and sabotaging the offense is also a part of the football field, and Jiang Xiaolin has nothing to do.

Even if his physique is full and his balance is full, he is still a human, not a tank.

People were determined to pull him down, but he couldn't hold back.

Of course, such a long-distance free kick would not be taken by Jiang Xiaolin, and it would be meaningless if he took a free kick. It was impossible to directly hit the goal.

Therefore, Jiang Xiaolin, Wang Yongbai, Zheng Zhi and other teammates advanced inside and outside the Nigeria penalty area, and the winger Hao Junmin came to serve the ball.

Of course, Hao Junmin wouldn't shoot directly, he wanted to throw the ball into the penalty area, and Jiang Xiaolin and others would compete for the goal.

However, Hao Junmin didn't pass the ball well, his strength was a little weaker, and he fell outside the penalty area ahead of time.

Because of this, the players on both sides in the penalty area were caught off guard, allowing Zhou Haibing outside the penalty area to easily stop the ball.

Although there are usually fans complaining about the stopping skills of Huaguo players, who often stop three or four meters away, but in fact it is just an occasional mistake.

As professional players, although it is impossible for Huaguo players to stop the ball in the air and lift it lightly like Jiang Xiaolin and Ronaldinho, it is rare for them to stop a few meters away.

Those are just special cases, and then they lost the game, so they were targeted and ridiculed by the fans.

And this time Zhou Haibing stopped the ball quite well.

Because of the full on-the-spot status bonus given by Jiang Xiaolin, Zhou Haibing not only stopped the ball, but also spiked the ball immediately after taking it off a Nigerian player who was grabbing the ball. files.

In the penalty area, Jiang Xiaolin also occupied a good position by blocking the defensive players behind him with his back to the goal.

Zhou Haibing, who got out of the pass gap, also passed the ball in time, and was not intercepted by Nigerian players halfway.

The ball reached Jiang Xiaolin's feet, and Jiang Xiaolin's full-value dribbling skills made it difficult for Nigerian players to steal.

Although in the crowded and narrow penalty area, Jiang Xiaolin still firmly controlled the ball at his feet, dashed from left to right, dunked back and forth three or four times, and finally opened a gap by smashing the ball and changing direction, turned around and forcibly shoot.

It's a pity that there are indeed too many people in the penalty area. Under such circumstances, Jiang Xiaolin can't control the angle to avoid the blocking of the opponent's players, so he can only try his luck.

But this time his luck was not as good as the first counterattack. The kicked ball hit the leg of central defender Adrie, who was flying to block the hole of the gun, changed the line and flew out of the baseline.

The Huaguo team failed to grab the first point in the subsequent corner kick, and was cleared by goalkeeper Fan Zejin with a single punch out of the penalty area.

Although the counterattack of the Chinese team missed the goal, it still shocked Nigeria up and down.

They finally realized how powerful the Hua Guo team was, and they dared not press on regardless.

In the next ten minutes or so, the game became a little dull.

Nigeria did not create any threatening offense, and the Hua Guo team did not get any threatening counterattack opportunities.

The only threat was that in the 17th minute the Huaguo team got a free kick from a distance of about 30 meters. Although Jiang Xiaolin hit it within the range of the goal frame and the angle was very tricky, it was too far away and gave the goalkeeper too long preparation time.

In the end, the ball was thrown by Fan Zejin to the post, bounced back to the penalty area, and was kicked out of the sideline by the defender to clear the siege.

However, as the game time passed, Nigeria, who was behind in the score, could not hold back after all.

On the one hand, they are behind in the score, and there is no future for the stalemate with the Hua Guo team.They have to attack, at least to equalize, to have any hope.

On the other hand, the Nigerian players have insufficient tactical discipline, and they have no patience to work slowly with the Hua Guo team.

In their general thinking and game methods, they either win the game with a big score beautifully, or lose with a big score vigorously.

They can't study tactics like Italy, rely on patient defensive counterattacks to win, and even win the World Cup.

It's not that I don't want to, but I really can't do it.

Everyone wants to be a champion, but the temperament of the African team players is naturally not as patient as the Italians.

Therefore, they can only rely on the morale of bravery and diligence to carry out an indomitable attack.

If they stop halfway, it may hurt the morale of their own team.

Therefore, after being taken aback by Jiang Xiaolin's counterattack, slowing down for a while, and reserving their physical strength, Nigeria resumed its aggressive offensive momentum and began to aggressively attack.

However, this time they still kept a little bit of mind, and they will keep at least three defenders in the backcourt.

In addition to the two central defenders, the two full-backs no longer insert assists together, but take turns to insert, and at least one full-back will be left to assist in the defense.

Nigeria's offense is still as sharp as ever, and one-on-one offense can often break through.

In the 20th minute, winger Okoronkuo passed Zhou Haibing with a magnificent Marseille maneuver, and then made a wall-hitting cooperation with his teammate and passed full-back Tan Wangsong. out of the restricted area.

It's a pity that when forward Ensofor was fighting for the goal with a header in the penalty area, Feng Xiaoting personally interfered with the header and flew off the crossbar.

In the 24th minute, Nigeria passed the ball into the penalty area through an oblique long pass from the side. However, the forward Odum Wenji who received the ball could not turn around, so he could only unload the ball and pass it back to the outside of the penalty area. Booker.

When Ogbuke stopped the ball, he flicked the ball to the right, out of the way of Zheng Zhi who was on the attack, and then took a long shot about 23 meters away from the goal.

The ball was heavy, sticking to the turf, passing through the penalty area, avoiding the feet of all the players in the penalty area, and heading towards the lower left corner of the Hua Guo team's goal.

This shot is quite a threat.

However, Qiu Shengjiong, whose on-the-spot status has been added to full value, has been quite focused. He judged the ball's path and rushed over the moment after Ogbuk shot.

In the end, Qiu Shengjiong successfully touched the ball before it hit the net and saved it out of the baseline.

Although he gave the opponent a corner kick, he saved the goal. Qiu Shengjiong's save won the unanimous applause of all Huaguo fans in the stands.

Feng Xiaoting, Li Weifeng and others also stepped forward and patted Qiu Shengjiong's head or shoulders, expressing their appreciation for his wonderful save.

Subsequently, the Nigerian prepares to serve the corner.

With the 100% blessing of the overall on-the-spot state, the overall defense of the Huaguo team is really good.Although Nigeria seems to be on the offensive, it has been gaining momentum without scoring, and has been falling behind.

As a result, Nigeria's players are feeling increasingly anxious.

This corner kick became one of the few set-kick opportunities for them to threaten the Hua Guo team's goal.

Therefore, at this corner kick opportunity, all the taller Nigerian players rushed into the penalty area of ​​the Hua Guo team to compete for the top, even including the two central defenders.

Even the corner kick was taken by full-back Okonkuwo.

In other words, Nigeria's last line of defense, only one full-back, Adelfemi, was left near the midfield to prevent the Hua Guo team from counterattacking.

The other forwards, attacking midfielders, avant-gardes, central defenders, etc. all rushed to the Huaguo team inside and outside the penalty area to participate in this header attack, wanting to use the numerical advantage to score goals.

The idea is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.

There are enough people competing for the top. If the corner kick is in place, it is really possible for the Nigerian player to grab the first header and succeed.

But the problem is that the player who made the free throw did not make the free throw.

Okonkuwo, who made the free throw, did not have a cheater like Jiang Xiaolin to help him increase his on-the-spot state to 100% full value. As a result, the corner kick he sent was a bit too close to the small penalty area line.

Seeing that the flight path of the ball was relatively close to the goal, Qiu Shengjiong, who was in full competitive form, made a decisive decision, rushed out of the goal line and made a fist, and punched the ball that fell to the small penalty area line through the bodies of the two players and hit it out of the penalty area in a circle.

What was even more surprising was that the direction of the ball's flight was near Jiang Xiaolin at the top of the penalty area.

Of course, Jiang Xiaolin was not the player on the outermost side of both sides, but he was also one of the most peripheral players, because he was the only point of counterattack for the Hua Guo team, and the possibility of counterattack must be maintained.

It was Jiang Xiaolin's position this time that gave the Hua Guo team another good opportunity to counterattack.

However, there are too many people inside and outside the penalty area of ​​the Hua Guo team at this time, and Jiang Xiaolin will not be the only one fighting for the spot.

Therefore, Jiang Xiaolin could only take advantage of his ability and speed to grab points ahead of others and rush over to occupy the position first, and then wait for the ball to fall.

As for the Nigerian player Ogbuke who was rushing over, Jiang Xiaolin stretched out his hand and got stuck behind him. He kept trying to squeeze to the front, but he failed in the face of Jiang Xiaolin's full physique and balance.

Of course, Qiu Shengjiong's shots were not slow.

It was too late to say it, and the ball fell down just after Jiang Xiaolin took up the position of the landing point and stuck the opponent's player.

Jiang Xiaolin made a gesture of wanting to unload the ball and pass it to other players next to him, and then turned around and ran without the ball, causing Ogbuke behind him to continue to stretch his feet to test, trying to grab the ball before Jiang Xiaolin poke away.

As a result, the moment the ball fell to about knee height from the ground, Jiang Xiaolin, who was doing the motion of stopping and unloading the ball, suddenly raised the toe of his shoe and lifted the ball over the heads of himself and Ogbuke. Then he immediately turned around and wiped away from Ogbuk, chasing the falling ball.

Go over the ball.

Jiang Xiaolin's 17-point "jumping the ball" skill played a role at this time.

Jiang Xiaolin had never used this move in a game before, so not only Ogbuke was caught off guard and was easily broken by Jiang Xiaolin, but also the other Nigerian players next to him were unprepared for Jiang Xiaolin's pick. Insufficient preparation, not the first time to interfere with steals.

In fact, Jiang Xiaolin's skill of dribbling the ball is not very good. After all, the attribute value is only 17 points, which cannot be compared with the skills of 19 and 20.

But the wonderful thing about this time is that the time is short, Qiu Shengjiong hit the ball with a single punch, and the other players are still in the penalty area!

Moreover, the others did not expect that Jiang Xiaolin would pick the ball over others, and they were not prepared enough for the next step of the ball.

By the time Jiang Xiaolin picked the ball up, over his and Ogbuke's heads, and wanted to rush to the landing point to grab the ball, it was too late.

Jiang Xiaolin also completed his turn, broke through Ogbuk's defense, and caught up with the falling ball by himself.

Seeing that it was impossible to grab the ball, Keita, who was chasing after him, had no choice but to throw his whole body out, trying to frighten Jiang Xiaolin with a flying shovel, or better luck tackle the ball.
