Chapter 1082
Although the referee was lenient on Azpilicueta's foul, it sounded the alarm for Spain, because this was the third time they had encountered a quick counterattack from the Chinese team when they were behind, and this time... was also the most thrilling scene.

Bosque, who was standing on the sidelines, basically guessed what the referee was thinking. He did not give Azpilicueta a red card for the sake of watching the game, but if Azpilicueta fouls again, then he will definitely not continue to show mercy...

Thinking of this, Bosque had a headache. He didn't know if he should avoid risks and replace Azpilicueta.

It's just that Arbeloa's current state is completely incomparable with Azpilicueta. In addition, Arbeloa is 30 years old this year and his speed is slower. It is really difficult for him to defend Aiello's accelerated inside cut.

So after much deliberation, Bosque decided to wait and see what happened. He chose to believe in Azpilicueta. As the main right back of the Valencia and Spanish national teams, he has rich experience in the game and naturally knows how to deal with embarrassing fouls.

And there is also an adjustment for the players on the field. Harvey Martinez is closer to his defensive right rib in the choice of position.

In addition, David Silva's active defense will also relieve Azpilicueta's defensive pressure.

The hidden danger of Azpilicueta's yellow card is naturally the flaw of the Chinese team's key attack.

However, with the help of Valencia teammates Javi Martinez and David Silva, Azpilicueta still tried to ensure the normal operation of the defensive right, which made the Chinese team's offense frequently hit a wall.

Aiello is club teammates with Azpilicueta, Javi Martinez, and David Silva. He knows that this is part of the club's tacit understanding. In addition, Azpilicueta's foul is based on safeguarding the overall interests of Spain, so other teammates will be very happy to help Azpilicueta.

Originally, Azpilicueta's right flank should have been a loophole for Spain, but with the concerted efforts of his teammates, it has become the most stable point of Spain's defensive performance during this period.

Bosque saw that there was no problem defending the right flank, so he did not continue to focus on defending the right flank, but thought about how to make adjustments during the intermission. After all, there were less than 2 minutes of regular time left in the first half. It is difficult to score goals during this period, so it is better to focus more on the second half.

※※※

As the game time in the first half became less and less, the fans in the stands began to choose to leave their seats and go to the high-calorie food and drinks provided in the stadium. You must know that not only the players on the field consumed a lot of energy in the first half, but the fans in the stands also consumed a lot of energy.

Of course, the first half was not completely over at this time, because the fourth official on the sidelines held up the electronic card for 1 minute of stoppage time, which means that there is still the last minute of the first half.

"There is still one minute left in the first half. I don't know if the scores of the two sides will change before the end of the first half. According to a statistics from the European football authority CIES, it is the most likely to score a goal in the minute and a half before the end of the first half." Sky TV commentator Martin Taylor said relaxedly: "However, both sides seem to choose to consume the remaining game time tacitly..."

However, as soon as the words fell, Zhang Xizhe, who frequently crossed the ball, suddenly shook his ankle, and passed the ball directly to Ai Luo, who ran to attack the right rib.

Zhang Xizhe's sudden change made the Spanish defensive players panic within a certain range. You must know that they thought that the Chinese team would definitely enter the locker room with a score of 1:0...

※※※

"-Ai!!"

Ai Luo's running position immediately attracted the attention of many Spanish defensive players, and Andy Gray, the commentator on the spot commentary, looked at Ai Luo in the camera and shouted suddenly.

I saw that Aiello hadn't turned around with the ball in the camera, Pique, Azpilicueta and Harvey Martinez turned their attention, and the other midfielder Busquets also moved to this side, Harvey and David Silva's attention was also here.

If there are highlights after the game, it will be seen that Ai Luo directly attracted the attention of six Spanish defensive players after holding the ball.

Closer to home, the camera returns to Ai Luo who is holding the ball.

As Ai Luo received the ball, Gao Lin also pulled out from the penalty area, obviously responding to Ai Luo's running movement, Ramos was naturally pulled out by Gao Lin's running position, and Busquets also consciously paid attention to the connection route between Ai Luo and Gao Lin during the movement.

But... Ai Luo had no intention of cooperating with Gao Lin at all. He stepped on the ball and paused for a second and a half, then unexpectedly passed the ball back to Zhang Xizhe.

As in the past, after passing the football, he went forward, making the illusion of passing and cutting cooperation, and at the same time helped Zhang Xizhe attract enough defensive attention.

Aiello turned around against Harvey Martinez's body, and the latter subconsciously grabbed the jersey behind Aiello's back, because Azpilicueta had a yellow card, and he was innocent.

However... Zhang Xizhe, who was holding the ball, did not cooperate with Ai Luo. Instead, he flicked the ball to the right with the instep of his right foot, made a slight adjustment, and then went straight to the defensive space between Sepik and Ramos.

In this unprotected space, Hao Junmin, wearing a red No. 11 jersey, appeared in the lower right corner of the camera.

"--Aooooooo!!!"

Immediately, loud cheers erupted from the stands, and the fans who were leaving their seats to buy ingredients stopped and turned their eyes to the field, just in time to see Hao Junmin competing for speed with goalkeeper Iker Casillas...

It wasn't until this moment that Casillas realized that Ai Luo's holding the ball and Gao Lin's running position were to open the protection distance between Ramos and Pique, so what he can do is to attack!

Casillas has a strong single-handed ball attack ability, but it cannot be compared with Hao Junmin's speed.

Football games are changing rapidly. Casillas made passive changes according to the situation on the field. When he attacked, he stopped before he could touch the ball first, lowered his body's center of gravity, and opened his arms.

But Hao Junmin did not shoot directly, but very smartly poked the ball forward, out of Casillas' controllable range.

The moment Casillas was accelerated by Hao Junmin, he naturally didn't dare to make any big moves. You must know that bringing down the opponent's player head-on would be a standard penalty and a red card, so...

The next thing was very simple for Hao Junmin. He pushed the ball hard towards the empty goal with the arch of his left foot. The football rolled across the goal line against the turf until it was stopped by the snow-white net.
