Ultimate Demon Sword

Chapter 346 Highly Compatible "Sixth Sense of the Stadium"

The time of this goal is No. 305 minutes, which is a disgusting time for Belgium to concede a goal.Pressing the offense, Belgium is afraid of the counterattack speed of the Chinese team, and retreats to defend... Not only the head coach, but every Belgian player is not reconciled.

They have made the Chinese team's defense crumbling. According to the normal development momentum of the game, they should be the ones leading. No matter how bad they are, they can end the first half with a draw. But now Wen Zhihao forced them to choose between two.

After thinking about the trade-offs for a while, Martinez still didn't dare to take risks, and called the players on the field to withdraw a little bit, stabilize the defense for the time being, and endure this moment.

A little intolerance can lead to big plans. Being behind by one goal in the first half is not a big problem in itself, but if you are too eager for success, but the Chinese team seizes the opportunity to play another one and fall behind by two goals, Belgium will be quite difficult. Basically, it can be said that there is no way to recover.

The risk is too great, not to mention that Martinez can think with his toes that the Chinese team will definitely focus on defense before the end of the first half. Scoring in these few minutes is completely a small probability event.

The Chinese team led 2:1 in the first half.All the fans who watched the entire first half were overwhelmed with emotion.Whether it's Gao Lin's blitzed goal at the opening, or Wen Zhihao's ultra-long-distance strong break, they are all very entertaining.Especially Wen Zhihao's goal, there is no problem in being selected as the top 10 goals of this World Cup.

What's even more exciting is that Wen Zhihao's key goal not only helped the team a lot, but also his personal goal count rose to six again, bringing him back to the same starting line as Lukakula.

The media and fans were all looking forward to Wen Zhihao taking advantage of the momentum and scoring another goal in the second half, eliminating Belgium in one sentence and ending the suspense of the Golden Boot at the same time.

Although the Chinese media has collectively agreed that Wen Zhihao will be China's first World Cup Golden Boot winner, it has not really become a fact. After all, they dare not to hold their heads high and make a big announcement to the world, so they are very eager for Wen Zhihao to give them this confidence.

Fifteen minutes passed in a hurry in halftime. Before the start of the second half, the Belgian team took the lead in making substitution adjustments.Witsel was replaced by La Liga Real Sociedad midfielder Januzaj.

Speaking of Januzaj, he is also a player with a story.He was very talented in his youth and was an outstanding product of Manchester United's youth training camp. However, due to his lack of spirituality and lack of physical fitness and confrontation ability, he could not gain a foothold in Manchester United.

In fact, a situation like Januzaj is not an isolated case. Japanese international Shinji Kagawa also had the same experience.In the Bundesliga Dortmund, he joined Manchester United in the summer of 2012. However, after Moyes replaced Ferguson as the Manchester United coach, Moyes' traditional British style of play completely prevented him from showing his own spirituality.

However, Shinji Kagawa was luckier than Januzaj, and returned to Dortmund. He regained his former hot state, while Januzaj is a typical high-speed drive, otherwise he is very likely to be an unstoppable main midfielder in the Belgian team.

……

Closer to home, Januzaj's appearance is a key signal for the Belgian team to further strengthen their offense. The Belgian midfielder's double midfielder has become a single midfielder.Witsel alone takes on the defensive task in front of the central defender, while Januzaj's position is the left offensive midfielder. The Belgian team is equivalent to six players in the attack, three offensive midfielders Januzaj, De Bruyne and Nainggolan, and the striker trio Hazard, Origi and Lukaku.

The evolution of the Belgian team gave everyone a feeling: they are crazy!

He Wei suggested to the Chinese team with a solemn face: "There is no doubt that the opponent is preparing to counterattack with all their strength. The Chinese team should consider strengthening the defense. This is not a cowardly act, but a retreat. Now is the time for the opponent to go all out. If you confront the opponent head-on, it is likely to hurt the enemy by one thousand and eight hundred. The Chinese team can wait until the opponent's momentum declines, and then seize the opportunity to counterattack when they are exhausted. The effect will be twice the result with half the effort."

He Wei's starting point was good, but Lippi didn't see any adjustments.

Could it be that Lippi couldn't understand the situation?This is obviously impossible.It is really helpless to stand still.

Make bricks without straw!

Zhang Linpeng was suspended with a red card, and the Chinese team lacked an important option in the defense line. The Chinese team's defense line itself is not sufficient, otherwise Lippi would not have brought Zheng Zhi back as a cameo. At present, there is only one reliable defender option left: Shi Ke.

But first of all, Lippi was not completely at ease with him.Secondly, and more importantly, Lippi didn't want to send everyone a signal to keep to the end so early.Especially leading by only one goal, once the players get such a hint, it is often the beginning of disastrous results.It is difficult to get out by relying on defense. This is the consensus formed by the development trend of modern football, and defense is not the specialty of this Chinese team.

Lippi hid the martial arts king Duxue on the bench today, which shows that he didn't think too much about defense in this game at all, leaving enough backs for the second half of the game.

At the beginning of the second half, the Chinese team still put on a positive and high-profile attitude. The midfielder and the backcourt cooperated to press up and actively put pressure on the opponent. Lippi's choice reflected the thinking gap between the master and the mediocrity.

The Chinese team’s press against the opponent was also very targeted. The right back Deng Hanwen and Hao Junmin, one of the two midfielders, followed De Bruyne and Nainggolan closely.

Let the Belgian team achieve this step, the Chinese team is half the success, and the rest is a 1V1 duel between Liang Xin, who has the strongest stealing ability, and Januzaj, the golden boy of Manchester United.

There is still a gap between Liang Xin and Januzaj in terms of physical fitness and competition experience. After all, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and Januzaj's background is still very solid.

But Liang Xin has the most important advantage on the field.One is that he is full of energy and dares to make moves in the face of any opponent, which is very similar to Wen Zhihao.Second, and more importantly, Liang Xin has fully adapted to the rhythm of the game after experiencing a high-intensity halftime confrontation, while Januzaj is still in the stage of exploring and adapting to the game.To put it simply, Liang Xin has an advantage in playing on the spot at this stage.

On the football field, the factor that really determines whether the two sides are active or passive is the on-the-spot performance of the players on both sides.Therefore, based on this alone, Liang Xin can make up for his lack of ability in a short period of time, and instead catch his opponent by surprise.

In the first 3 minutes of the second half, Januzaj touched the ball three times, and Liang Xin pushed forward in time. The first time he pushed Januzai down because of his excessive movement, he was called a foul.But as the old saying goes, there are only three things. For the third time, Liang Xin learned the lessons of the previous two times. After stealing the ball, he immediately chose to make a smooth transition and return the ball to Zheng Zhi on the back line.

Zheng Zhi took two steps forward, and then sent a long pass to the midfielder.Zheng Zhi's job is the core of the midfield, so the accuracy of the long pass is naturally guaranteed, and he accurately drove to the most densely populated area of ​​the Chinese team in the midfield.Yu Dabao and Hao Junmin competed for the top with Witsel who ran over at the same time.

If Hao Junmin competes with Witsel one-on-one, there is almost no chance of winning. The difference in height and jumping ability is obvious. However, due to Yu Dabao’s wide range of activities, he just returned to the midfield to participate in this header.

To be on the safe side, Witsel's first reaction was to protect the possession of the ball. After the jump, he glanced behind him from the corner of his eye. Vermaelen was only three steps away from him, so he thought about returning the header to the defender.

But even he himself would not have thought that both Hao Junmin and Yu Dabao were determined to win this header, so his take-off force was greatly disturbed. He just touched his scalp and flicked back twice, but did not fall to Vermaelen's feet, but slowed down between the two.

Vermaelen reacted quickly and stretched out his foot to control the ball at the first time, but Liang Xin threw his leg at the same time, without any fancy, and came straight to the ball, fighting against Vermaelen for half of the "knife mountain ball" this time.

It must be admitted that Liang Xin's courage is very commendable. Such a fight is to take a great risk of injury, especially for Liang Xin. If the injury is serious, it will even affect the preparations for the new season after the World Cup. It can be said that it is very unfavorable for him to compete for playing time in Dortmund.

Of course, Liang Xin's hard work was not in vain. He has experienced two seasons in the Eredivisie and he has quite a lot of experience in the game. He naturally understands the risks of this kind of confrontation and knows how to protect himself. So don't look at him yelling, it looks very fierce, but in fact it is just a bluff. His real intention is to block the opponent's line of the ball.

Neither Liang Xin nor Vermaelen took advantage of this duel, but Liang Xin made contributions to his teammates.Vermaelen moved forward to make a clearance. After the ball bounced off him, it fell to Hao Junmin's feet.

There were deafening cheers at the scene, and the Chinese team successfully counterattacked within [-] places from the goal!Excellent opportunity to counterattack on the spot!

The Belgian commentator was shocked: "My God! Back to defense! Back to defense! This mistake is really bad!"

Almost immediately, except for the three players on the front line, several Belgian offensive midfielders were all rushing back, but when they were attacking just now, they had already ran halfway through the half-court, and this change came so suddenly, even if they wanted to, they would not be able to get there in at least three to five seconds.

And these few seconds are enough for Hao Junmin to make further choices after taking the ball.

The actual situation is that after Hao Junmin took the ball, he just glanced around and passed the ball to the temporarily empty right. Belgium's three-center back system exposed the biggest problem, which was insufficient coverage of the width of the pitch, especially when the opponent counterattacked on the spot.

Deng Hanwen dribbled the ball all the way into the penalty area, until the opponent had to turn his attention to him, and he passed the ball in an inverted triangle to the penalty area.

On this route, there were actually two players in the red jerseys of the Chinese team who were outflanking at the same time. The expectation in the eyes of all the audience was even higher, and the opponents also had a tacit understanding with each other.

What about the facts?
Deng Hanwen's pass was indeed intended to find Wen Zhihao, but the opponent moved ahead of time, which gave Wen Zhihao a chance to judge in advance and make temporary changes.As if he had eyes in the back of his head, he slipped lightly on his heels, and then evaded the line directly.

Vertonghen rushed to nothing, and the live camera zoomed out, and the fans saw the No. [-] player of the Chinese team appearing at the top of the arc!

This is Liang Xin's number!
Some fans may wonder, how did Wen Zhihao know what was going on behind him? Does he really have eyes in the back of his head?
It's very simple. Players will also shout and communicate with each other on the court. What's more, with the relationship between Wen Zhihao and Liang Xin and the playing environment, there is no need to deliberately greet each other. The two will have a similar way of reading the game on the court. This awareness can be called the sixth sense on the court!
This sixth sense of the court can allow two golfers to guess each other's intentions.Because both of them have played in the Eredivisie and grew up in the same environment, their sixth sense of the court is easy to be highly compatible.

……

Wen Zhihao's pass was equivalent to setting up a fort for Liang Xin, and the flash after the pass gave way to the trajectory. The next move was not too difficult for Liang Xin.

In order to be on the safe side, Liang Xin lived up to Wen Zhihao's kindness, chose to shoot low, and went straight to the goal at an extremely fast speed from an unblocked line.

Although Courtois touched the ball, he just rubbed his fingertips on the surface of the ball, which was not enough to change the direction of movement, so the ball still rolled against the post and rolled into the goal.

"Good goal! Good goal! 3:1. Although there is still more than half an hour to play, the previous performance of the Chinese team gave me the confidence to say loudly: This is a final goal. The Chinese team has stepped into the top four gate."
