Football: Invincible starting from krypton gold

Chapter 169 The Long-lost Bloodliness

After conceding the goal, Chen Xiao, who had been somewhat helpless, stood beside Li Lei after standing in the middle circle for a while, stretched out his hand and pulled Li Lei up.

"What's wrong? Did you lose a goal soon? The game is not over yet, don't forget your identity, there are hundreds of millions of people watching you now, it doesn't matter if you make a mistake, what matters is whether you wake up."

Chen Xiao held Li Lei's head with both hands and said, Sun Jihai and other veterans who came up to comfort Li Lei one after another, no matter what, since the matter has already happened, as teammates, we must carry it together.

The game restarted at the whistle of the referee. All the players of the Xia Guo team who had lost a ball seemed to have regained their lost blood at this moment. Everyone desperately stepped forward to block the ball at the opponent's feet, but Chen Xiao knew that this state was only temporary. Only then will the team continue to live, whether it is a draw or a defeat, it means that the gate of the 06 World Cup will completely shut Xia Guo out.

Thinking of this, Chen Xiao knew what he needed to do. Now he could only rely on his own personal ability to see if he could find an opportunity. Compared with cooperation, it was basically impossible according to the degree of tacit understanding between himself and the team.

The Xia Guo team and Uzbekistan, which strengthened the siege of the frontcourt, turned their backs in the midfield area, and the referee's whistle sounded frequently. As Chen Xiao expected, as time went by, everyone watching this game could feel that Xia Guo's siege team in the frontcourt had declined.

When everyone was worried about the prospects of the national team, Chen Xiao finally found a chance under the strict defense of the opponent. In this game, Uzbekistan knew that Chen Xiao was the most worrying player in the entire Xia Guo national team. They arranged for a person to follow Chen Xiao throughout the game, no matter whether Chen Xiao was with the ball or without the ball, and no matter who was attacking.

In the 38th minute of the game, after Chen Xiao received a pass back from striker Dong Fangzhuo near the center circle, two people from Uzbekistan came up to try to siege. He passed through the crowd, and did not give the opponent a chance to foul. After Chen Xiao's speed fully increased, Chen Xiao had many ways to create opportunities. In the previous few rounds, it was precisely because the opponent did not give Chen Xiao a chance to increase his speed. As long as he saw something bad, he would directly foul in the midfield.

Chen Xiao, who passed between the two, got the football he had kicked, and then volleyed directly at a distance of about 29 meters from the goal. He swung his thigh vigorously to tell everyone that the ball was absolutely powerful.

The football shot by Chen Xiao carried the hopes of all Xia Guo fans watching the game and the Xia Guo players at the scene, and went straight into the goal like a bolt of lightning.

1 to 1, in the 41st minute of the game, the Xia Guo national team tied the score with Chen Xiao's goal.This ball immediately made the team's morale a little bit decadent.

Fan Zhiyi on the sidelines clenched his fists and told himself secretly, "There is still a chance! There is still a chance!"

After scoring the goal, Chen Xiao didn't have any celebration, but went directly back to the center circle and waited for the game to restart. Chen Xiao used this action to tell everyone that we still have a chance!
In the rest of the first half, the two sides did not score again, and the score of 1 to 1 was maintained until the intermission. Fan Zhiyi returned to the locker room and looked at the players sitting quietly in their respective seats. After thinking for a while, he said: "Guys, I believe everyone can see clearly what kind of situation we are in. We have been shouting for the past ten years to go out of Asia, but the fact is that our strength is getting worse and worse, and we are losing more and more games. All the fans loved us before, and hate us now, but we are really inferior to others in terms of ability. Is it? No, we lost our blood and our spirit, and now I hope you will find what we lost. Please everyone.”

After finishing speaking, Fan Zhiyi bowed deeply to everyone.

Soon the intermission ended and the game between the two sides resumed.

After the game started, the Uzbekistan players found that their opponents were different. They could clearly feel the murderous intent from the opponent's eyes.

In the 53rd minute of the game, Chen Xiao made a pass in the middle and found Dong Fangzhuo, who was offside successfully. It was a pity that Dong Fangzhuo's single-handed ball was saved by the opponent's goalkeeper.

Chen Xiao's corner kick found Dong Fangzhuo again. This time, Dong Fangzhuo did not waste the opportunity. Dong Fangzhuo, who took off from the spot, overwhelmed the opponent's central defender and headed the ball in.

2 to 1, the Xia Guo team overtook the score.This goal also made the few Xia Guo fans at the scene burst into loud noises.

Many fans who watched the game through the live broadcast also cheered involuntarily, not only because of the goal, but because they saw the bloodiness they hadn't seen for a long time from the Xia Guo players after the start of the second half, the blood of Xia Guo people.

The game continued, and Uzbekistan, which was behind at home, frantically launched an attack on the Xia Guo team, because this game was equally important to them. If they lost the game, it meant that they would be surpassed by the Xia Guo team in the standings.

For the opponent's crazy attack, all the Xia players gritted their teeth and resisted the opponent's attack this time, but they also paid a price. When Li Weifeng blocked the opponent's shot, he was directly covered by the football. From the camera, he could see blood splashing directly on Li Weifeng's face. Fortunately, there was nothing serious. Li Weifeng, who was carried to the sidelines, sat on the ground with his head dizzy and shook his head. The team doctor gave emergency treatment to Li Weifeng's nose.

"How is it? Big head, how about I replace you." Fan Zhiyi asked.

"Don't worry, we've been useless for so many years, we should look a little better." Li Weifeng signaled to the referee on the sidelines after the emergency was dealt with at Li Weifeng's insistence.

At this moment, Chen Xiao can feel that such a team is what he wants to join. No matter what his strength is, he must not lose his spirit and desire to win no matter what kind of opponent he faces.

With the passage of time, the offensive momentum of Uzbekistan, which is slowly falling behind, is no longer so strong. For everyone in the national team, the defensive pressure is not as great as before.

When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, many people sat on the ground all of a sudden. Old players like Sun Jihai and Li Weifeng really struggled to the point of cramp, but no matter what, the result of the game was a very good result for the Xia Guo team, 2-1. They retreated from the away game and got a long-lost three-pointer, which directly squeezed Uzbekistan to the last place in the group.
