Chapter 69 The Second Touch
"Zhou Xing still played forward in the second half, but this time you can play as a striker. From now on, we will pass the ball to you. You don't need to do anything else in the frontcourt. The only thing you need is to face the opponent's goal. Shooting. You don't need to do things about organization."

Pointing to the tactical sign, Bohr said to Zhou Xing.

"Get some forwards?" Hearing this, Zhou Xing asked suspiciously.

"Yes, it is to grab some forwards." Boll said with certainty, with a firmness that cannot be questioned in his tone.

At this point, he added: "Never touch the ball twice, never too many times. Stop the ball and touch it quickly, do it again to keep you in control - don't touch the ball a third time or [-]th touch, it will look like you are not confident, and most players will do that. With [-] touches, there is no way the opposing defender will have time to steal your ball in such a short period of time. Then, try to Turn your body toward the opponent's goal."

"Oh, then try to shoot as much as possible, right?" Zhou Xing showed a sudden realization when he heard this, and only then did he understand the coach's intention.

"Yes, that's how it is. You imagine that you are very close to the goal, and you can score the ball with just one shot. Shooting from any position is a requirement for the king of the ball. Only in this way can you Mature. Believe me, as long as you get the ball in the goal, you will be the hero of the game. Everything will be easier for you."

Looking at Zhou Xing, the Germans have more of a cherished look in their eyes.There are very few such geniuses.For Zhou Xing, he always has more expectations.

"Okay, coach, I will work hard." Hearing this, Zhou Xing nodded.

"OK, Ji Weihao, you are behind Zhou Xing in the second half, acting as a shadow striker. In terms of organization, Zhang Chen will do it. Do you understand this arrangement?"

Pointing to the tactical signs, the German asked.

"Understood!" He was greeted by a tidy reply.

"On the back line, you don't have to be afraid of fouls. Also, you must be firm in offside. The four of you must act in unison. After seeing the opponent's pass, don't hesitate and don't let the opponent take the ball. If the opponent takes the ball again , you take foul tactics and don’t let them enter the penalty area.”

Facing the four defenders of the Chinese team, Ball patiently instructed.On the back line, China's hidden dangers are too great.If he didn't remind him carefully, he didn't even know what kind of trouble these guys could cause him.

"OK, I understand, coach." After listening to what the coach said, Deng Lei and the others showed a look of understanding, and the four nodded together.

At this time, the second half of the game officially started.

※※※

In the second half, the Nigerians obviously didn't want to stick to it.A goal did not satisfy them.In order to strengthen the shooting sight, they made some adjustments in the lineup. They replaced No. 8 Zuma, who performed poorly in the first half, and replaced them with No. 21 Caniser, intending to continue to expand the score advantage.

At the beginning of the second half, they threatened the goal of the Chinese team again.When the Chinese players were still adapting to the rhythm of the game, they kicked off the attack in the second half with a powerful long shot.

At 30 meters away from the goal, the Nigerian Kanisa took a strong long shot. The ball was powerful and went straight to the goal guarded by Xie Fei.This ball also made Xie Fei catch it hard.On the goal line, he lifted the ball over the bar with his hands.

"Corner."

This time, in order to defend this corner kick, the players of the Chinese team all came to their own penalty area.When the corner kick hit the penalty area of ​​the Chinese team, it was the Nigerian who first grabbed the first point.

Under the defense of Deng Lei, Nigerian striker Kanu volleyed, and the football hit the post and flew out of the baseline.

Seeing that Nigeria's offense is so strong, the Chinese fans on the sidelines also took a breath.In order to cheer for the Chinese team, they cheered loudly on the sidelines again.

"Come on, come on. Chinese team, come on!"

Xie Fei sent the goal kick, and the football landed in the midfield.In the fight with the Nigerians, Cheng Dao had the upper hand and controlled the football at his feet.

Remembering the coach's instructions, he immediately passed the ball to Zhou Xing with a big kick.Remembering the coach's instructions, Zhou Xing did not choose to stop the ball as usual, but lobbed a shot.

This unprepared shot went far above the crossbar of the goal and landed in the stands of the fans.Such a substandard shot also surprised the Chinese fans on the scene.

"Bah!" Spit bitterly, Zhou Xing turned his gaze back to the coach's bench.At this time, the German Bohr applauded his shot.

Seeing this, Zhou Xing understood that the coach did not blame him for this mistake.On the contrary, for Zhou Xing's shot, he still appreciates it very much.

"It seems that Zhou Xing is a little anxious." Seeing that Zhou Xing missed some outrageous shots this time, the commentator of CCTV-5 said anxiously.

When the camera was focused on Zhou Xing, the Chinese audience sitting in front of the TV were surprised to find that Zhou Xing did not look depressed.After this mistake, a smile appeared on his face.

Here, too, will be a turning point in the game.

※※※

"Okay, pay attention. The Nigerians are here." When Deng Lei raised his hands, the four defenders of the Chinese team quickly ran towards the middle circle.

At this time, the football flew over from the middle circle and landed at the feet of Kanu, a Nigerian.When he was about to shoot, the linesman's flag was raised immediately.

"Offside!"

Seeing the referee raise the flag, Kanu also glanced at the goal of the Chinese team bitterly, and ran back to his own half.

"Offside!"

The Chinese team won a backcourt free kick.At the back point, Zhou Kai kicked the ball near the middle circle with a big kick. In the fight with the opponent, Yang Fan grabbed the first point and ferried the ball to Meng Qingtao on the side.

After receiving the ball, Meng Qingtao accelerated and ran on the wing, trying to get rid of the Nigerian defender who was defending him.Meng Qingtao is very fast, and the speed of the Nigerian is not much slower than him.After accelerating, there was not much distance between the two of them.

"Fuck, it's pretty fast."

Seeing this, Meng Qingtao made a fake move, then made an emergency stop, dodged the Nigeria defender who was defending him, and sent the ball into the penalty area of ​​the Nigeria team with a beautiful cross.At this time, he did not forget to point to his feet and then his head to the Nigerian defender who was defending him.

"Playing football depends not only on the feet, but also on the brain." He broke through others, and in the end he did not forget to teach them a lesson.

In the middle, Zhou Xing quickly jumped in at this time, jumped up in the penalty area, and headed towards the flying football in the air.Compared with Africans' jumping, his jumping ability is not weak.

His header was not strong this time, and he failed to hit the right position, and was easily obtained by the Nigerian goalkeeper.As a striker, Zhou Xing's header skills are not as good as his foot skills.

"Ugh."

There was another loud sigh from the stands, and the faces of the Chinese fans were full of pain.Sixty-ten minutes had passed, and the score was still one to zero.

"There's still a chance, it's okay." Seeing some annoyance on Meng Qingtao's face, Zhou Xing patted him on the shoulder and ran back to his own half with him.

After 3 minutes, the score finally changed.

After the Chinese team succeeded in another offside tactic, the Nigerians were a little anxious, and they put more troops into the offense.In this case, it creates an emptiness in their backcourt.

During a pass, the Nigeria team made a mistake and the football was intercepted from the middle by the astute Ji Weihao.With a light tap of his toe, he poked the football to Zhou Xing in front of him.

After receiving the pass, Zhou Xing wanted to adjust it habitually, but after remembering the coach's instructions, he just flicked the football with his left foot, and then volleyed with his right foot.

The shot was so sudden that the entire audience couldn't react.You must know that at this time, Zhou Xing was 35 meters away from the opponent's goal.

"Amazing."

Nigerian goalkeeper Messimon froze for a moment and did not respond.When he reacted again, the football had already flown to his side.Relying on his own instinct, he hit the ball beyond the goal line with a single palm.

Before the Nigerian fans could celebrate their escape, Yang Fan, who got in, made a supplementary shot and pushed the football into the upper right corner of the goal.

"GOOOAL!" In the No. 30 minute of the second half, with Yang Fan of the Chinese team's beautiful shot, the Chinese team equalized the score.

Seeing this, all the Chinese fans in the audience were excited. "Chinese team, one more, Chinese team, one more." They hope that China will go all out to score another point and surpass its opponent.

"Okay." Seeing the goal of the Chinese team, Bohr jumped up from his chair and shouted loudly.The tactics he insisted on finally succeeded.

※※※

After being equalized by the opponent, the Nigerians also stepped up their offense.At the last moment, they also launched breakthroughs and shots again and again, wanting to continue scoring goals and knocking out the Chinese team.

"Foul!" Seeing that the Nigerian player broke through from his side, Zhou Kai immediately made a fierce tackle and knocked the opponent to the ground with the ball.

In this case, the opponent will not be able to form a smooth attack anyway.If the Chinese team cannot attack the penalty area, it will be very difficult for the Nigerian team to score goals.

Under Ball's arrangement, the defenders of the Chinese team insisted on fouling and offside tactics.This tactic is also very effective in the final stage.

When the linesman once again raised the flag in his hand, the Nigerian striker Kanu's mind began to heat up.Ignoring the referee's whistle, he kicked the football into the goal guarded by Xie Fei, venting his anger.

This shot, but he got a yellow card.

Seeing this, he also planned to argue with the referee.Seeing that the momentum was bad, his teammates immediately pulled him away from the referee.Otherwise, he is likely to receive another yellow card.

But the mood cannot be settled all at once.When he made another successful breakthrough, Zhou Kai knocked him to the ground again.In order to prevent him from breaking through successfully, Zhou Kai resorted to a tactical foul.

Originally, Zhou Kai's foul this time was a helpless move, but unexpectedly Kanu became angry.On the ground, there was a vengeful movement of his feet.Under the eyes of the referee, he kicked Zhou Kai back with his foot.

This time, he paid the price for his uncoolness.

"Red card!" The referee showed him and Zhou Kai a yellow card.He was sent off for accumulating two yellow cards.In this case, the Nigerian team will fight with ten men.In terms of numbers, the Chinese team has an advantage.

"You are so restless, how will I deal with you when I return to China!" Facing the restless Nigerian striker, their head coach cursed in African dialect.

All to no avail.The referee's decision has already been made and can no longer be changed.At this time, the Nigerian team had no choice but to fight with ten people.

※※※

When the Nigerian team challenged with ten players, the Chinese team began a massive counterattack, attacking the opponent's gates again and again.The player leading this offense is of course Zhou Xing.

Because one person was sent off, Zhou Xing had only two Nigerian players around him.In this case, it gave him space to get the ball.At this time, he retreated a little appropriately, and changed positions with Yang Fan.

No.801 minutes, he shot hard, but hit the post of the goal and popped out of the baseline.

Five minutes later, it was Zhou Xing who took the ball in the midfield again, and gave the ball to Meng Qingtao on the wing with a pick pass.After a quick breakthrough, Meng Qingtao passed the ball to the front of the penalty area of ​​the Nigerian team.

At the front of the penalty area, Ji Weihao lobbed with his left foot and went over the head of the Nigerian goalkeeper. Unfortunately, the opponent's defender who stepped forward to defend the ball broke through the bottom line with a header.

Time passed minute by minute. Under the attack of the Chinese team, the Nigerian team relied on their excellent defense to keep their goal.

Such a scene also made the Chinese fans watching the game extremely anxious. "Enter one, enter one." Amidst the shouts that shook the sky, the Chinese team's attacks were blocked by the opponents again and again.

Seeing the passing of one second, only the last 3 minutes, the two teams will enter overtime.At this moment, Zhou Xing showed his power.

"Catch the ball, Xiao Ji." In the middle, Yang Fan pushed the flying football to Ji Weihao's side with a header.

Ji Weihao lightly stopped the ball with his thigh, then raised the ball with his right foot, and distributed the ball to Zhou Xing's side.It's just that Ji Weihao's pass was a bit big because the opponent's defender was behind him.

The football quickly flew in front of Zhou Xing, and before he could make a move, the football had already flown obliquely to behind him.At this time, he could only choose to hook the ball back in front of him with his feet.

"No, I still have to choose to shoot."

Thinking that the adjustment would take a lot of time, Zhou Xing didn't choose to hook the ball, but relied on his good sense of the ball to hit the ball.

Incredible heel shot!In the air, the football changed direction and flew towards Nigeria's goal.

Can I go in?If you make it, you will advance to the semi-finals, if you don't make it, you will enter overtime.If there is no winner in overtime, it will go to a penalty shootout.
