Chapter 68 The African Eagle
In the Nigerian team, there are many players with very outstanding skills.Compared with Chinese teams, the quality of African players is much better.

In their team, more than three players had a 11-meter speed within 12 seconds, and there were many players who ran within [-] seconds, all of them were as fast as leopards on the grassland.Compete with them as if you were racing against a herd of cheetahs.This is the conclusion they reached after the game of a team, and today's Chinese team has a deep understanding of this.

In just 3 minutes of the opening, the Nigerian team formed two attacks.This point made the head coach of the Chinese team Boll extremely annoyed, but he was helpless.

Their style of play is very simple, that is, to use a through pass or a high-altitude pass to hang the ball behind the Chinese team's defenders, and then rely on a few extremely fast players to get in from the back to grab a shot.Although this style of play is very simple, for the Chinese defenders, this style of play is very effective.

"Oh my god, their startup speed is too fast."

After being broken through again, Zhang Bin shouted helplessly.The opponent's player was still a few meters away from him just now, but after their player just passed the ball, the Nigerian player who was still behind him had already run in front of him.

Looking at the other party's dark skin and long thighs, Zhang Bin had to admire the excellent physical fitness of these Africans.

"So fucking strong, no wonder all the [-]-meter runners in the Olympics are black."

At this time, Zhang Bin became a little envious of these African players.

Envy is envy, he still wants to chase these Nigerians who follow the trend.It can be clearly seen on the TV screen that the distance between the two is getting farther and farther.In terms of speed, the Chinese team is really inferior to these eagles from the African grasslands.

After quickly breaking through to the Chinese team's penalty area, the Nigerian striker shot vigorously, but the football hit the midair and flew out of the baseline.Although possessing excellent speed, African players have another shortcoming, that is, rough technique under their feet.Obviously, this Nigerian team is no exception.

Seeing this shot, the Chinese team members breathed a sigh of relief.Xie Fei, the goalkeeper of the Chinese team standing in front of the goal, also wiped the sweat from his forehead and took a breath.

If the opponent always brings the ball to the penalty area, even if he is an iron man, he will be hard to guard against.

"Defense, pay attention to fouls. If it doesn't work, use fouls. Don't let them break into the penalty area. If necessary, you can take fouls to prevent their quick breakthroughs."

Facing the players running on the field, the German shouted loudly.If the Nigerians are allowed to break through to their team's penalty area and shoot easily, then this game will not be able to continue.Even if they are not good at shooting, but as long as one of ten shots is hit, the Chinese team will be doomed.

Next, China adopted foul tactics, delaying the fast break of the Nigerians again and again.With a solid defense, they also started waves of counterattacks.

"Pass the ball to me, Zhang Chen."

Seeing that the team was unable to open up the situation, Zhou Xing was also a little anxious, and raised his arm to ask his teammates for the ball.

Zhang Chen flicked the ball lightly, and flicked the ball to where he was, trying to send the ball to Zhou Xing's side with a pick pass.

Just as Zhou Xing wanted to respond, two Nigerian players appeared immediately in front of him.At the front point, a Nigerian defender headed the ball quickly away from him.Looking at the good jumping and airborne abilities of African players, Zhou Xing knew that he was not as good as these African players in terms of heading.

Seeing this, he could only sigh helplessly.

After regaining the ball, Nigeria continued to launch a counterattack.Near the midfield, a Nigerian big-footed long pass hoisted the football to the frontcourt of the Chinese team.

Before the Chinese team's defender could react, three Nigerian players came in from behind.With excellent speed, Nigeria's striker Kanu grabbed the first point.

Deng Lei planned to defend the Nigerian in front of the penalty area.Seeing the speed of the opponent, Deng Lei didn't rush out, but stood quietly in place.

"Haha, the Chinese defender seems to be scared stupid by me."

Seeing that the Chinese defender defending him did not move at all, Nigerian forward Kanu felt a little proud, flicked the ball with his foot, and planned to shoot from an angle.

At this moment, Deng Lei took advantage of the pause when he shot and tackled the ball out of the baseline.This time, the fans of the Chinese team on the sidelines cheered like thunder.

"Good shot, nice shovel."

On the sidelines, countless Chinese fans shouted loudly, applauding for his beautiful defense this time.

Kanu, who was lying on the ground, indicated that the ball was a foul, but the referee could see clearly that Deng Lei touched the ball first, so it was not a foul.He waved to the Kanu referee lying on the ground, indicating that the ball was not a foul.

Seeing this, Kanu also sighed and got up from the ground.

The game is still going on.

※※※

More than 20 minutes into the game, the score between the two teams was still zero to zero, and no one on the field could break the deadlock.

In the Nigerian team, although there are many players who are extremely fast, they lack good shooters.In the Chinese team, because Zhou Xing was very tightly defended by them, the Chinese team lacked a core in the frontcourt, which seemed a little scattered, and did not pose much threat to the Nigerian team's goal.

"Zhou Xing, catch the ball."

With Meng Qingtao's shout, he passed the ball beautifully through to Zhou Xing's feet.With a beautiful turn around to take the ball, Zhou Xing twisted his body and turned in one direction.

Before he could make the next move, the ball under his feet was broken.With good reflexes, the Nigerian defender's kicks are generally fast and accurate.Before Zhou Xing could make another move, the Chinese team's attack was terminated again.

After grabbing the ball, the Nigerian defender made a big kick and passed the ball to the frontcourt of the Chinese team.Seeing this, Zhou Kai ran up quickly, trying to destroy the football to the bottom line.

Before he ran to the side of the football, he saw a black shadow running past him in a flash, and with him was the football that was lying on the ground.

This time, Kanu didn't make any adjustments.At the top of the arc of the Chinese penalty area, he just volleyed vigorously, and the football flew across a beautiful arc and flew towards the goal of the Chinese team.

"Ow!"

Amidst the exclamation of the crowd, Xie Fei made a side attack and blocked the football from the bottom line.The Nigerian player's shot just now was very threatening and powerful.If it wasn't for his fists, Xie Fei wouldn't be able to block the ball with any confidence.

Touching the palm of his hand, Xie Fei found that the back of his hand had some pain.

"Terrible power."

Seeing the African striker with no white spots on his whole body except his teeth, Xie Fei concentrated all his attention and didn't dare to take it lightly.

※※※

"Corner."

In the No.203 minute of the first half, Nigeria won a corner kick.

In the penalty area of ​​the Chinese team, there are three Nigerian players who intend to compete for the header.These three players are all over 1.8 meters tall, and they seem to have some difficulties in defense.

In order to defend the corner kick, Yang Fan ran back to his penalty area, intending to grab a point.But even so, the strong strength shown by the Nigerians still exceeded the expectations of the Chinese team.

In the penalty area, the Nigerians got rid of the Chinese team's defenders and scored a powerful header from their NO.11 Issa.This shot made Xie Fei make another world-class save.In front of the goal line, he blocked the football from the goal line with one palm.This time, his movements were almost subconscious, as fast as lightning.

This save failed to hit the ball far, the football flew in the air and fell towards the Chinese team's big penalty area.This time, it was the Nigerians who grabbed the first point again.In the first point, Nigeria's No. [-] Kanu overpowered Yang Fan, got the first point of the football, and then ferried the ball with a header to the front of the penalty area.

At this time, Nigeria's No. [-] shot from the back. The football brushed against the sides of the Chinese team's defenders and flew towards the Chinese team's goal.

Since Xie Fei was standing in front of the door, his sight was somewhat obstructed.By the time he reacted, the football had already flown in front of his eyes.Relying on instinct, he flicked the football with his fingertips.

Just this time, it still failed to change the direction of the football, and the football was still flying towards the right side of the Chinese team's goal quickly.Seeing this, some Chinese fans at the scene closed their eyes in despair.

"Pong."

This time the goal post made another great contribution, the ball that was bound to be scored actually hit the inside of the goal post of the Chinese team and bounced to Xie Fei's side.

Seeing the football beside him, Xie Fei reacted quickly, and firmly pressed the football under his body with both hands, preventing the Nigerian striker who wanted to step forward to shoot.

"Wow." Seeing this, the Chinese team fans at the scene finally breathed a sigh of relief.A few fans with bad hearts quickly ate the cod liver oil they prepared, for fear that their heart would not be able to bear it accidentally, and they would let go and pass away.

"Luck, luck is on the side of the Chinese team this time." Seeing this, the host of CCTV, who explained the match, said happily.

At this stage, the Chinese team's defense is relatively tight.Seeing this, the face of the head coach of the Chinese team Ball on the sidelines was also full of anxiety.

In comparison, the Chinese team's offense is really difficult.Since Zhou Xing was frozen by the opponent, he really couldn't think of a clever way to break through the opponent's city gate.

※※※

At No. 308 minutes in the first half, the score was finally rewritten.This time it was Nigeria who found their shooting boots late in the first half and rewrote the score with a push.

When the offside was made, Zhang Bin was dragged at the end of the team, which made the Nigerian striker Kanu in the front not in the offside position.

With their No. [-] kicking a pass in midfield, the ball was passed to Kanu, who was not in an offside position.In the frontcourt, Kanu quickly broke through with the ball and formed a one-on-one with Xie Fei.

Kanu didn't rush to shoot this time.With a feint, he dodged Xie Fei's fall to the ground to save, and then pushed the football into the empty goal.

"GOOOAL!"

At the last moment of the first half, the Nigerian team scored a goal, leading the Chinese team [-]-[-].In the duel with the Chinese team, Nigeria took the lead.

Such a goal also made the players of the Chinese team extremely frustrated.In the stands of Chinese fans, most of the Chinese fans watching the game fell silent.

Zhou Xing, who put on a wonderful performance in the last round, was completely blocked by the opponent in the first half.Without his Chinese team, it is really difficult to open the game.

"Oh, their speed is really too fast." Meng Qingtao lamented at the halftime kick-off.

At this moment, Zhou Xing also had a look of frustration on his face.Under the defense of the opponent's three defenders, his speed and skills were basically brought into play.In terms of physical confrontation, he is obviously not the opponent of the three defenders.

With the whistle of the referee, the first half ended.Depressed all over, the players of the Chinese team walked into the locker room of the stadium with a look of frustration.

Compared with the agile style of play of the African Eagles Nigeria team, their performance of the Chinese youth team, known as the Asian Lions, is not close to satisfactory.

Facing the predicament, how can they get out of it?Seeing this, the audience in front of the TV thought anxiously.
