Fox in the Penalty Area

After losing the ball, Shi Wuyin quickly stood on the sidelines and shouted to his players: "Don't panic! Don't panic! Hold on! Take back the defense and defend until the end of the first half!"

Then he stood on the sidelines, trying to bring confidence and strength to the players and stabilize the morale of the army.

But when the game restarted, he found that the players did not panic because of the loss of the ball.

They quickly followed Shi Wuyin's instructions and began to shrink their defense, preventing Nigeria from having a chance to expand the score.

Whether it was the defenders such as Wang Guangwei and Liu Yan, or the goalkeeper Lin Zhiyuan, they were all trying to block the Nigerian players' shots with their bodies.

Seeing this, Shi Wuyin turned and walked back to the coach's bench, and said to Li Zhifei who was sitting, "Old Li, these young people are really nice..."

"Well, I thought they would panic after losing the ball... It turned out not at all. From the beginning of the game, I noticed that these players were not nervous. Facing unexpected situations, they behaved calmly and calmly... "

"So, Lao Li, if I just lose three group games and then go home... I'm really not reconciled."

"What can you do?"

"Since Nigeria puts the focus of defense on Hu Lai, then we can let Hu Lai continue to be the bait, and then create opportunities for Chen Xingyi and Luo Kai. Similarly, if Chen Xingyi and Luo Kai can counter Nigeria's The goal is a threat and that frees Hou Lai as well."

Li Zhifei thought for a while, then nodded and said: "It's possible. But we must defend first, and don't continue to lose the ball. If we fall behind by two goals, I'm afraid the morale of the team will collapse..."

"I'll continue to stand on the sidelines." Shi Wuyin said, turned and walked back to the sidelines, standing at the edge of the coach's command area, watching the game intently.

Under his gaze, the Olympic team really withstood Nigeria's offensive in the remaining ten minutes.

And not only resisted, they even tried to fight back.

In the 41st minute, Chen Xingyi received a long backcourt pass from Wang Guangwei, dribbled the ball for tens of meters, and finally dribbled horizontally at the front of the penalty area to complete a shot. Unfortunately, it missed the bottom line and failed to score against Nigeria. goal poses a threat.

After running so far, he ran to the front of the penalty area and then made an emergency stop and changed direction to get rid of it. The physical exertion was too great, which caused his movements to be deformed when he finally shot, and he couldn't stabilize it.

Although he has played counterattacks like this in the Super League, the feeling of the Super League and the Olympic Games is obviously different. The Nigerian Olympic team, almost all of whom play in European leagues at all levels, is by no means comparable to ordinary Chinese Super League teams, so he consumes more energy in the same process.

Chen Xingyi, who kicked the ball wide, fell to the ground after shooting, but he still struggled to get up to see the result.

After seeing the ball miss the baseline, he yelled in annoyance, and lay down again, his chest heaving violently. It could be seen that playing forty minutes in the Olympic Games was indeed more tiring than playing in the Chinese Super League for forty minutes...

Although Chen Xingyi didn't score a goal, the Olympic team still held the score of 0:1, only conceded one goal, and entered the intermission.

Back in the locker room, as soon as the door was closed, the head coach Shi Wuyin first apologized to the players: "I'm sorry, I misjudged the situation and thought that the opponent would underestimate the enemy...but it didn't. Apologies everyone..."

Seeing this, Hu Lai raised his hand: "Director Shi, you don't need to apologize, I should apologize!"

"Why do you have to apologize?" Shi Wuyin felt strange.

"I asked the opponent's defender. It turned out that their coach showed them a video of me scoring five goals in nine minutes, so they guarded me so strictly... So the responsibility lies with me, Shi Gui..." Hu Lai replied.

Chen Xingyi next to him couldn't hold back: "Are you praising yourself in a different way? 'Ah, I'm sorry, I was targeted by my opponent because I'm too strong'... Listen, what do you say? Is it a human language!"

The rest of the players in the locker room were amused by the scene.

The low pressure caused by a conceded goal in the first half seemed to be dissipated in the dressing room.

Seeing this scene, Shi Wuyin heaved a sigh of relief in his heart, and also laughed: "I also think that Hu Lai, you are praising yourself in disguise."

"Director Shi, I've been wronged... I'd rather be looked down upon by them. You see, I shot a goal in the first half, and it didn't hit the goal frame... The opponent's black is really hard to deal with!" Hu Lai yelled.

"Speaking of this, we have to adjust our strategy in the second half of the game. Hu Lai, you have to be a bait. Use the opponent's strict marking of you to create opportunities for your teammates." Shi Wuzhen said with a serious expression.

Hu Lai also put away his previous hippie smile, straightened his back and replied, "Don't worry, guide Shi, I know what to do."

Shi Wuyin was very satisfied with Hu Lai's attitude. He didn't think that just because he was the number one shooter of the Olympic team, he should have unlimited shooting rights and that the whole team should serve him. After some players became the core, they felt that the whole world should revolve around him. If he was asked to cede some power, it would be like killing him, and he would not even do it. If there is no better substitute for such a person, then the coach can only recognize it by pinching his nose. As long as there is another choice, I can't wait to kick him away...

Shi Wuyin turned to the other side again, and named Chen Xingyi and Luo Kai: "You two have to change positions more frequently during the game, disrupting the opponent's defense, and creating opportunities for yourself or others at the same time. The positions should be closer to each other, so that they can tear apart the Nigerian defense with quick passes and cuts."

"Understood, guide Shi."

"No problem, guide Shi."

The two answered at the same time.

Shi Wuyin looked at Guo Junfu again, and told him to pay close attention to the positions of Chen Xingyi and Luo Kai during the game. Once there is free time, he should pass the football in time. He can try more through balls. There are some risks. But worth the risk.

Of course, if there is a pass error, you must actively counterattack on the spot in the frontcourt, and if you fail to grab it, you must make a foul. In short, Nigeria must not be allowed to counterattack.

After all, judging from the first half of the game, Nigeria's strikers are also fast horses.

Once the African players gain momentum and make them play crazy, it will be troublesome.

Meanwhile in Nigeria's locker room, their head coach Kane Rogers was praising the team's defense: "You guys did a great job in the first half! The defense against Hu was a success! Facts have proved that China He is the core of the team's offense. Once he can't perform, the offense of the Chinese team will be over! Boys, our offense must be more proactive in the second half! We not only want to win, but also win more goals! This It's our best chance to get a goal difference! You can't expect to get enough goal difference from Belgium and Argentina, can you?"

The players in the locker room burst into laughter.

The rule of the Olympic group stage is that when there are teams with the same score, the goal difference is compared first, the goal difference is the same and then the total number of goals is compared. relation.

Nigerian head coach Kane Roger is very clear that in order to emerge from this death group, it is not enough to just win the game. We must strive for goal difference, so that we may take the lead in the final fight for the right to qualify .

Then look at the opponents in the group stage, only the Chinese team is the best goal difference target.

Therefore, it is necessary to get enough goal difference from the Chinese team, so that Nigeria can have a chance to qualify from the group of death.

Because the first half was played well, the head coach Roger quickly finished what he had to say, and the rest of the time was the free time for the players to relax.

Daniel Moses finally got a chance to ask his partner at the back, Kennedy Homero: "Hey man, I see you were chatting with that Hu in the first half, can you understand what he's saying? "

"Why not? He speaks English."

"Oh my god...he can speak English? What did he say to you?"

"He's begging for mercy!" Homero grinned triumphantly.

"Begging for mercy? Are you kidding?" Moses didn't believe it.

"Of course not! He told me personally, let me guard their No. 9 player, saying that he is the most threatening player in his team, and let me stop staring at him."

"Their number nine?" Moses thought for a while, the number nine was indeed quite active in the first half, but it seemed like that.

He pouted: "He should be lying to you, man."

"Of course he was lying to me. I could easily see through his small thoughts. So he only had one shot in front of me in the first half, and it didn't hit the goal frame!" Omero raised a finger, Said triumphantly. "In the second half, I will let him not even have this shot!"

※※※

"Let me tell you, in the second half, you must be closely united around my core, so that we can have a chance to tear their defense." On the way from the locker room to the court, Hu Lai walked to Chen Xingyi and Chen Xingyi. Luo Kai confessed.

"That's what you said, Hu Lai. But why does it sound wrong to you? I really want to hear it somewhere..." Chen Xingyi frowned.

"Will the news broadcast?" Luo Kai said.

Chen Xingyi suddenly realized: "Oh, that's right! Hu Lai, you kid has a lot of ambition..."

He was teasing Hu Lai when he saw several Nigerian players coming up from the side, and one of them kept his gaze firmly on Hou Lai beside him.

Hu Lai also noticed this look, and he raised his hand to greet each other, then pointed to Luo Kai and Chen Xingyi beside him, and said in English: "Let me introduce, these two are the most threatening players in our team. Compared to them, I am trash!"

When Kennedy Homero heard what Hu Lai said, he grinned: "It's useless, Hu, you can't fool me. You are the most powerful person in the Chinese team!"

After he finished speaking, he saw a helpful expression on the other party's face.

So I thought in my heart how could such a clumsy method be able to deceive me? Innocent!

"Hu Lai, why did you tell the other party our halftime tactics?" Chen Xingyi's English level is average, but he still understood the general meaning of what Hu Lai just said.

"Hehe, little Xingxing, do you think the other party will believe what I say?" Hu Lai asked him back.

Chen Xingyi frowned, not knowing how to answer.

"Do you believe what I say?" Hu Lai asked again.

Chen Xingyi shook his head reflexively: "I don't believe it."

Hu Lai slapped his hands: "That's it! You don't believe me, do you think they will believe me?"

Luo Kai snorted beside him: "Chen Xingyi knows you well, so he doesn't believe it. The opponent doesn't know you, so maybe he will believe it."

Hu Lai sneered at him and said, "I asked them to strengthen their defense against you in the first half, and they didn't believe it either."

Luo Kai was speechless.

While talking, the three of them had already walked out of the passage and onto the court. The on-site commentator He Feng saw the three walking and talking about this scene, so he guessed: "I don't know what Hu Lai, Chen Xingyi, and Luo Kai are talking about. Are you discussing how to play in the second half... I hope the relationship between the three of them can be closer in the second half, and with the tacit understanding of the three of them, we can find a way out for the Olympic team's offense!"

"Eh? That Luo Kai is also my son's high school classmate, right?" Xie Lan in front of the TV suddenly said, "Why haven't I heard my son mention it? Is it a bad relationship?"

Hu Lixin glanced at her, "Then he never told you that Li Qingqing is his classmate?"

"Uh..." Xie Lan had nothing to say.

"Let's watch the game, don't just think about the mess."
