v6 Chapter 58 - Counterattack
The first half was basically the Chinese team constantly attacking Colombia’s goal, then Colombia goalkeeper Ospina made all kinds of wonderful saves, to ensure that the goal is not lost.
It wasn’t until the last moment of the first half that the Chinese team’s offensive slowed somewhat, and Colombia also got a chance.
In the thirty-eighth minute, Zheng Zhi raised his foot too high when defending in front of the penalty area. The referee awarded him a foul and gave Colombia a free kick opportunity at the front of the penalty area of the Chinese team.
Both Guarin and Hames Rodriguez are standing in front of football. Both of them have the ability to take free kicks, but the way they take the penalty is completely different.
When the referee blew his whistle, Guarin first ran to the football, he made a posture to vigorously hit the goal, but when he was about to reach the football, he ran to the other side suddenly, and then Hames Luo Driggs keeps up with his left foot and takes a shot!
Football bypassed the Chinese team’s wall and went straight to the Chinese team’s goal.
Sun Pan, who was relatively idle in the first half, finally got a chance to express himself. He jumped in the air, stretched his body, blocked it, and gave Colombia a corner kick.
“Sun Pan! His attention is very focused! Before the Chinese team had an advantage on offense, in this case, the most worrying thing is that the goalkeeper will be inattentive, facing the sudden ball, there is a mistake Judgment… Fortunately, Sun Pan did not…”
This was the last time Colombia had a threatening opportunity in the first half.
It didn’t take long for the referee Velasco to sound the whistle at the end of the first half, and the Chinese team entered the locker room with a one-ball lead.
There may be Chinese fans who feel sorry for the Chinese team’s offensive but only scored a goal, but in Lippi’s view, this score is completely acceptable. The most important thing is that this score will not make the players lose their vigilance and motivation. It has both advantages and the ability to prevent the players from underestimating the enemy in the next game.
After returning to the locker room, Lippi did not praise the team’s performance in the first half, nor did he criticize the team for wasting opportunities in the first half. He directly started the tactical arrangement and told everyone how to play in the first half with a 1:o lead .
Continue to put pressure on Colombia, as in the first half, Yang Muge will continue to stick to Hames Rodriguez, not to give him a chance to send a good pass, nor to give him a chance to score.
At the same time, we must pay more attention to Guarin and Quadrado. In addition to Hames Rodriguez, they can also pose a threat to the Chinese team’s goal.
On the Colombian side, coach Pekerman continued to instill confidence in his players, telling them that one goal behind was no big deal, as long as they continue to work hard, they can completely tie the score. Once the score is equalized, the situation will become favorable for Colombia. At that time, the Chinese team will surely fall into a panic. As long as Colombia is fighting again, it can completely defeat the Chinese team.
Pekerman did his best to describe the future for the players and inspire them. Because Colombia’s offense was really lackluster in the first half, it was almost completely suppressed by the Chinese team.

When the coaches of both parties made adjustments, on the TV station, the commentators and guests were also commenting on the first half, while looking forward to the second half.
On the Chinese TV station, on the one hand, everyone was happy about the performance of the Chinese team in the first half, but on the other hand, they were a little worried. They worried that the Chinese team wasted too many opportunities in the first half. Danger.
As the saying goes, “One goal lead is the most dangerous score in the world.”
The guests gave advice and suggestions for the Chinese team from their own perspectives, predicting Lippi’s adjustment in the second half.
But no matter what the strategy is, the key point is that the Chinese team should score as soon as possible in the second half and score more goals. The best way is to score two goals in the first half of the second half, completely smothering Colombia’s idea of counterattack.

After a fifteen-minute intermission, the two sides changed sides in the second half and played again.
Colombia made adjustments at the beginning of the second half. After all, they are behind.
The striker Gustavo Adrian Ramos, who had just announced his joining Dortmund this summer, replaced Ivalvo and changed his formation to 442. This is a clear signal to strengthen the offense.
After the start of the second half of the game, Colombia’s offensive has strengthened. Colombia, which has fallen behind, has no future at all. It is better to let it go and have a few chances of equalizing the score.
So Colombia’s offensive was fierce in the second half, and they played against the Chinese team.
In the fiftieth minute, Zhou Yi tried to break through when he took the ball in the frontcourt, but Almero was knocked down on the ground. The referee awarded the Chinese team a free kick. Zhang Linpeng pretended to come to play this free kick, but when he ran to the football, he slammed the football aside. Zhou Yi, who was keeping up, passed the football diagonally to the middle of the penalty area. When the shadow contested, the football was pushed out of the bottom line. This should be a corner kick, but the referee motioned for a Colombian goal kick.
The players of the Chinese team protested, but soon they were not entangled in this matter.
Colombia’s first goal shot in the second half came only in the fifty-ninth minute, when Hames Rodriguez grabbed a pass before Yang Muge grabbed a shot and Guarlin got rid of it in the penalty area. Then he volleyed directly with his left foot, but hit high.
In the 64th minute, Gao Lin made a cross from the left and Ospina attacked the football, but after the football flew out, it was still under the control of the Chinese team.
Zhou Yi went straight outside the penalty area. He Ying was disturbed by Zuniga when he shot the goal. He didn’t shoot the right part and the football hit the side net.
In the sixty-sixth minute, Colombia won a free kick in the frontcourt. Hames Rodriguez suspended the football into the penalty area, causing a scuffle in the penalty area of the Chinese team. The football flew to the goal.
Still Sun Pan, he waved his palms out of the crossbar with a single palm!
“Sun Pan made another wonderful save! When Yeppes shot, the football flew over and drove past. I believe many Chinese fans are cold!”
The Colombian fans in the stands began to gain momentum, because the team’s current swing allows them to see the equalization score, and even hope to win the game.
In their cheers, Hames Rodriguez ran to kick the corner. However, after the corner kick came out, it did not pose any threat to the Chinese team’s goal.
Zapata’s header flew high from the bottom line.
The Colombian fans in the stands uttered a huge sigh and felt sorry for Zapata for missing this opportunity.
In the sixty-ninth minute, when Yan Min cut the ball to the rib on the left, he was shoveled to the ground by Hames Rodriguez from the side.
He was shown a yellow card by the referee Velasco himself, and the Chinese team also received a free kick in front of the Colombia penalty area.
This free kick position is very good, can directly hit the goal, more than 30 meters away, not too far away, very suitable for force. Don’t worry if the distance is too short, the football will fly out of the bottom line without distance after the ascent.
Zhou Yi and Zheng Zhi both stood in front of the football, and the two were discussing.
“Don’t forget to shoot this ball…” Zhou Yi said to Zheng Zhi.
“Why?” Zheng Zhi asked.
“A little change, haven’t we practiced free kick tactics before?”
“Oh, yes…” Zheng Zhi remembered, and he nodded in agreement. “How many tactics?”
“Number three.”
“No. 3…” Zheng Zhi thought for a moment and recalled in his mind what the No. 3 free kick tactic was. Then he looked at the current situation and felt that it was really suitable for No. 3 tactics, so he nodded his agreement .
After the communication was over, Zhou Yi retreated and walked to the line of the big restricted area, leaving Zheng Zhi alone in front of the football.
Zhou Yi, who walked to the front of the big penalty area, shouted to his teammates in the penalty area: “Everyone pay attention, No. 3 free kick tactics!”
He didn’t make any gesture secret code ~ www.mtlnovel.com ~ just shouted out in such a fair way that he bullied no one in the Colombian team who could understand Chinese.
Chinese players can communicate directly on the court without any cover-up.
Just as Zhou Yi communicated with Zheng Zhi just now, he neither avoided the Colombian players around him nor covered his mouth with his hands.
The opponent didn’t understand it at all. Even if he shouted like this, the Colombian player was dumbfounded and didn’t know what he said.
As soon as they heard the No. 3 free kick tactics, the Chinese players in the penalty zone thought of the routine of attacking free kicks they practiced in training.
So everyone looked left and right, observed the surroundings, and prepared for the running position at that time.
