God of Green
Chapter 281
Belgium is indeed much stronger than New Zealand.
Although Jiang Xiaolin did not increase the on-the-spot status of the Chinese team to 100%, the on-the-spot status of 98% is actually infinitely close to the full value, and the strength it has shown is also quite good.
Even so, the Chinese team did not get too many good shooting opportunities, which is really different from the situation when facing New Zealand, which was almost full of loopholes.
Of course, Belgium is not Italy after all, and it is impossible to defend watertight. What's more, they are facing the Chinese team with a state close to the full value, and Jiang Xiaolin, who has a very strong personal ability with plug-ins.
So, after supporting for half an hour, Belgium lost the second goal.
This ball was not lost in the mobile war, but it was caused by the mobile war.
The Chinese team used a counterattack and Hao Junmin broke through on the right side of the front of the penalty area, which caused the opponent to foul, giving the Chinese team a chance for a free kick in the frontcourt.
The Chinese team had two free kicks before, but one was in a bad position and Jiang Xiaolin did not take the penalty. Another time, although the position was good, Jiang Xiaolin failed to play his best, and the free kick hit the post and bounced out of the bottom line.
This was the third free kick of the Chinese team in this game. The position and distance were very good, so Jiang Xiaolin, whose shooting and arc skills were all full, was naturally given the penalty.
Just looking at Jiang Xiaolin standing behind the penalty spot made the Belgian players very nervous.
Maarten Martens, who was also lining up the wall, even asked Jiang Xiaolin when he passed by him: "Jiang, when did you practice free kicks so well? You didn't take free kicks when you were in the club."
Jiang Xiaolin smiled and said: "Of course I practiced this myself during this period. I have a good talent, so there is nothing I can do!"
This sentence choked Maarten Martens to death, and he no longer had the friendliness of his club teammates.
Martens cursed: "I wish you a plane."
Then he entered the human wall position, and under the command of goalkeeper Bailey, he and his teammates carefully formed a human wall to try to block Jiang Xiaolin's near-end shooting route.
Jiang Xiaolin didn't care about Martens' curse, because he knew he couldn't hit a plane.
Even if he was unlucky and the ball was a little higher, it wouldn't be too high, and it would still be considered a threatening shot, and it wouldn't form a plane.
Of course, the best result is to hit it within the goal frame and avoid the goalkeeper Bailey's ten fingers to form a goal.
For Jiang Xiaolin, this is the most perfect ending.
After almost half a minute of command, goalkeeper Bailey felt that the human wall he commanded almost blocked the near corner.
Then, he stood in the far corner of the goal and prepared to guard the goal.
Seeing this, the referee blew the whistle for a penalty kick.
Jiang Xiaolin took two steps and kicked the ball out.
The ball flew into the air, flew over the head of the center back Vermeulen at the outermost edge of the human wall, and then drew a huge arc in the air and went around the Belgian goal.
Jiang Xiaolin naturally shot at the near corner.
Goalkeeper Bailey had a premonition, and suddenly started at the moment Jiang Xiaolin shot, rushing from the far corner to the near end.
But Jiang Xiaolin's shooting speed and angle were still beyond Bailey's ability.
Although he predicted the range of Jiang Xiaolin's shooting and rushed to the near corner, the position of Jiang Xiaolin's shooting was the upper right corner of the goal.
After bypassing the human wall and drawing a huge arc, the ball almost penetrated into the Belgian goal at the intersection of the crossbar and the uprights.
Although Bailey tried his best to jump to the near corner to save the ball, he was still out of reach in the end and could only watch the ball fly into the goal more than ten centimeters above his palm.
In the 31st minute of the game, Jiang Xiaolin scored a goal against Belgium again with a free kick, scoring twice and helping the Chinese team to take a 2-0 lead.
Suddenly, the Chinese fans at the scene and in front of the TV cheered even louder.
Everyone was very excited.
If many people felt lucky and unbelievable that the Chinese team won 10-0 against the weaker New Zealand in the last game, then the Chinese team was able to take a 2-0 lead in half an hour against the European team Belgium in this game, which was enough to make everyone realize Jiang Xiaolin's strength and the overall performance of the Chinese team.
In this half-hour game, the Chinese team not only had Jiang Xiaolin's two goals, but also successfully resolved Belgium's offensive performance countless times.
Except for Jiang Xiaolin, the performance of other Olympic team players in this game was no less impressive than that in the previous game.
It's just that Belgium is much stronger than New Zealand, which led to no one seeing the likes ofIt was just the teamwork and goal-scoring like in the last game.
Even so, the result of scoring two goals and conceding zero goals in half an hour was enough to make many fans ecstatic.
Such a performance of the Olympic team has exceeded the expectations of many fans, which is very gratifying.
On the other hand, everyone in Belgium felt very helpless and speechless when they saw Jiang Xiaolin being celebrated by his teammates.
In fact, even if the overall state of the Chinese team was increased to 98%, the strength would at most be comparable to that of Belgium.
If there was no Jiang Xiaolin, Belgium, which had an offensive advantage on the field, might even win in the end.
But because of Jiang Xiaolin's existence, the Chinese team had the sharpest spear. With a solid defense in the backcourt, as long as the ball was handed to Jiang Xiaolin, the opponent could be poked with several big holes.
Obviously, the Belgian forwards were far behind Jiang Xiaolin in scoring ability.
Now they can only helplessly watch the Chinese celebrate, while they are getting further and further away from qualifying for the group.
Yes, after falling behind 0-2, Belgium, which had to win to keep its hopes of qualifying, was getting further and further away from qualifying.
Therefore, after the game resumed, Belgium not only did not strengthen its defense because of Jiang Xiaolin's threat, but instead pressed the whole team to participate in the attack.
Because they really had no choice, they had to attack to survive.
As for losing the ball, it didn't matter if they lost two or three. Now they could only reverse the situation by scoring.
So, in the next ten minutes of the first half, Belgium's attack was quite crazy, and the Chinese team couldn't get through the half court at all. Even if they wanted to counterattack, they couldn't find a chance.
Finally, Belgium's full-scale attack paid off in the 44th minute before the end of the first half.
This was a personal performance by Moussa Dembele, the 18th striker of Belgium.
After receiving the pass from his teammate on the front side, he cut inside, continued to dribble horizontally and broke through the interception of three Chinese players, and then suddenly kicked a cold shot when he dribbled to the top of the penalty area.
The ball passed through the penalty area along the grass, and the two Chinese players in the penalty area failed to touch the ball to clear it.
Goalkeeper Qiu Shengjiong was blocked by his teammates in the penalty area, and his save was a little slow, resulting in a slight difference. In the end, he could only watch the ball go into the goal from his fingertips.
Belgium finally scored one point before the end of the first half, and was only one goal behind the Chinese team.
Neither side scored again in the next few minutes.
After 1 minute of stoppage time, the referee blew the whistle to end the first half. The two sides entered the halftime break with a score of 2-1, and the host Chinese Olympic team led Belgium by one goal.
Although the lead at halftime in this game was not as terrifying as in the previous game, the fans in the stands still gave warm applause when everyone left the field.
After all, Belgium is much stronger than New Zealand.
The fact that the Chinese team can still take the lead in the game against Belgium is enough to make the fans feel satisfied.
In particular, the skills, cooperation, fighting spirit, etc. shown by the national Olympic players in this game are no less than those in the previous game, which makes the fans even more satisfied.
In fact, Chinese fans are a group of people who are easily satisfied.
As long as the players fight and try their best on the court, even if they lose the game due to inferior skills, no one will complain.
What they are afraid of is that some players in the past did not fight hard, strolled on the court, and did not work hard, which made the fans angry and sad, and scolded the national football team.
In these two Olympic games, the Chinese players did not have these problems, not to mention that they could win and lead, which naturally made the fans impeccable and generous in giving encouraging applause.
During the halftime break, head coach Yin Tieshen reiterated the importance of defensive counterattacks and asked the team to continue to implement the defensive counterattack tactics in the second half. On the basis of solid defense, Jiang Xiaolin had the opportunity to attack the opponent's goal again.
The backcourt players must stick to the bottom line and not attack easily.
In this game, the Chinese team has a great initiative.
With the advantage of leading by one goal, as long as the Chinese team does not lose two goals in a row and lose the score, the Chinese team will have the initiative to qualify.
In this situation, it is Belgium that is anxious.
Although Belgium scored a goal in the second half of the first half by using the crazy pressure to attack, in fact, the opponent's backcourt had a lot of gaps.
Jiang Xiaolin failed to seize the opportunity in the first half, but it does not mean that Jiang Xiaolin will never be able to seize it.
As long as Belgium dares to continue to attack like that in the second half and give Jiang Xiaolin a chance, it can end the game and completely beat Belgium to qualify.Hope.
The key is that the Chinese team can't lose the ball again.
Therefore, after a 15-minute break, the two sides changed sides and started the second half. The Chinese team still insisted on its defensive counterattack tactics, hiding in the back waiting for Belgium to take the initiative to attack, and then looking for an opportunity to attack behind the Belgian defense line.
Everyone knows what the Chinese team is thinking, including the Belgians.
But they have no choice. Now they are behind, and the initiative to qualify is not in their hands. They must attack, there is no other way.
Even if they know that the Chinese team is inducing them to attack, they have no choice but to press forward and attack, praying that like the second half of the first half, the Chinese team will not seize the opportunity to counterattack, but they can use the offensive momentum of the offensive to force the Chinese team's goal.
But the opposite happened.
In fact, Jiang Xiaolin's chance of seizing the counterattack opportunity to score another goal in the second half of the first half is actually higher than Belgium's chance of scoring in the second half of the first half.
Jiang Xiaolin failed to seize the opportunity, while Belgium seized the opportunity to score. It can only be said that Belgium had better luck than Jiang Xiaolin at that time.
But the goddess of luck will not always favor one side. Many times, it comes in turns.
For example, in the 52nd minute after the start of the second half, Belgium created a very threatening attack in an attack. As a result, Maarten Martens made a powerful shot outside the penalty area. Finally, it passed through the penalty area and avoided the goalkeeper's ten fingers, but finally hit the post and bounced back into the penalty area. It was kicked to the midfield by defender Feng Xiaoting.
If it weren't for bad luck and hitting the goal post, Belgium would have equalized the score.
On the other hand, the Chinese team had better luck than Belgium in a counterattack.
In the 57th minute, Zheng Zhi intercepted the ball from Belgian midfielder Jan Weitonggen and launched a counterattack. Jiang Xiaolin could only dribble the ball on the wing under the pressure of two opponent defenders, and was forced to deviate from the shooting area in the middle. In the end, he could only grab a gap with speed to make a cross from the bottom.
As a result, Jiang Xiaolin's cross from the wing was not grabbed by the Chinese players first, but was punched out by the Belgian goalkeeper Bailly before Wang Yongbai.
But what surprised the Belgians and delighted the Chinese was that the ball punched out by Bailly fell right in front of Zhou Haibing, the defensive midfielder who also rushed into the penalty area.
Zhou Haibing, who was caught off guard, didn't even make any shooting movements, and watched the ball hit his thigh, and then bounced back to the goal in a daze.
Goalkeeper Bailly, who landed after hitting the ball, was also caught off guard. He didn't expect that the ball he punched out would fall on the opponent's player and bounce back to the goal.
When Bailly wanted to make a save, it was too late.
In the end, the ball fell into the Belgian goal before Bailly's palm was in place, and Bailly finally got nothing.
In the 57th minute of the second half, the Chinese team benefited from a mistake made by the opponent's goalkeeper. Zhou Haibing rushed into the penalty area from the back row and hit the ball into the goal with his thigh, winning a 3-1 lead for the Chinese team.
Suddenly, the entire Shenyang Olympic Sports Center was boiling.
Countless fans applauded, cheered, screamed, and some waved national flags to loudly vent their excitement.
The Chinese team was not defeated by Belgium's aggressive attack. Instead, they took advantage of a counterattack opportunity to score the first goal and expanded their lead to two goals.
Now, there are only more than 30 minutes left before the end of the game.
For Belgium, which must win to keep the hope of qualifying, the situation is getting more and more serious.
Correspondingly, for the Chinese team, the following games will naturally be easier to play.
As long as they continue to maintain the defensive counterattack, take advantage of the opportunity that Belgium has to continue to aggressively attack, occasionally sneak attack, and score another goal, they can completely kill the game.
