Chapter 264 A Sudden Attack With a Knife Guard
In the 13th minute of the first half, Belgium scored a goal, which is normal for anyone. The Chinese fans in front of the TV may feel anxious at the moment they score, but they will not blame the team.
The middle circle kicked off and the game continued. Belgium had a goal in hand and pursued the victory. The frontcourt pressing was still fierce.
However, after the adjustment of the Chinese team, the depth of the pass has increased. It used to be that the center passes to the side, or the side passes to the center.
Now Chen Fei is transferred to the defensive midfielder. His ability to control the ball is good. The Chinese team can form a triangle coordination of the defensive midfielder, defender and full-back.
Previously, Stan only considered Zhang Chengdong’s strong body and strong running ability, so it would be good for him to play as a midfielder. However, Zhang Chengdong, who was born as a right back, used to run along the sideline. After being transferred to the middle, it was difficult to form a suitable sense of space for a while.
After the adjustment, the Chinese team formed control in the backcourt and it was no longer so easy to lose the ball.
Belgium is still the same, crazily grabbing for a period of time, if you can't grab it, you will take some rest appropriately.
When the game reached 16 minutes, Wilmots yelled at the players. With his series of body language, the players gradually adjusted their positions.
Stan looked a little helpless. Belgium had the ball in hand, and they started to take it back, playing in the most economical way. After all, they had to face England head-on in the second game. Presumably "Wilmots" felt that there was no need to waste too much energy on the Chinese team.
This kind of situation is what Stan likes to see. If Belgium loses the first game of the World Cup and loses by a big score, it will destroy the team's self-confidence.If only a 0-1 loss is acceptable for Stan.
Standing on the sidelines with his hands in his arms, Stan directed his players from time to time. The midfielder must pass the ball carefully. Sometimes the backcourt players of the Chinese team pass the ball to the midfielder with frizz and too much power. Such a ball cannot appear in the World Cup.
"Chen Fei, Zheng Zhi, you two shout to each other, help each other to look behind, if the opponent forces you, don't take the ball," Stan shouted.
Belgium is pressing very tightly in the midfield today, especially against the two midfielders of the Chinese team. Stan is very afraid that this position will make mistakes again.
A strong team like Belgium is very smart. They know that if the midfielder of the Chinese team cannot even hold the ball, the Chinese team will not be able to organize any offense. So every time the midfielder of the Chinese team gets the ball, Fellaini and Witsel will post it immediately, and Lukaku and Miralas will also help.
Stan was a little depressed. He had never led a team to be held back like this before. Facing the pressure, Stan, who is usually very resourceful, was helpless, because if he didn’t want to play in the midfield and hit the opponent’s penalty area directly through the middle, then the Chinese team needed a high point.
In the past, when players encountered difficulties, they would turn their heads to look at Stan, expecting him to give some clever ideas, but when they looked at Stan today, Stan just held his chin and thought, without any response.
Li Qiao and Lin Zhijian had switched positions twice before. Ding Mu ran around alone in front and hadn't touched the ball for a long time.
Eventually Stan decided to give it a try.
He gestured to Wei Xiao and Zhou Dun in the back line, signaling them not to pass the ball to the midfielder and pass the ball directly forward.
Stan made a long pass gesture in front of his chest, signaling Zhou Dun to pass the ball to Li Qiao.
After receiving the order, Zhou Dun made a long pass to find Li Qiao, but there was no suddenness in such a long pass over 50 meters. A few tall men in Belgium could easily clear the ball. After two attempts, Zhou Dun stopped the pass before Stan could open his mouth.
In the 26th minute of the game, both sides played several innocuous attacks. Belgium's Lukaku shot a few shots and all of them went flying. Ding Mu's header from the Chinese team did not pose any threat.
Now Belgium is like Bayern or Juventus in the league. Don’t mess with me, and I won’t hit you. I will take the 3 points. If you still mess with me, I will not be polite.
The more the opponent is like this, the more unhappy Stan is. Now he would rather be scored a few more goals by the opponent than submissive.
At 32 minutes into the game, Stan finally made up his mind and decided to replace Gao Lin to add a high point, and then let Wei Xiao and Zhou Dun make a long pass.
"Gao Lin Warming Up",
Gao Lin couldn't believe that Stan was going to replace him in the first half.
"Just give you 3 minutes, the weather in Brazil is hot, I think your muscles are still hot",
Gao Lin nodded, "Coach, it's okay if you don't warm up, the temperature is over 30 degrees."
"Okay, go ahead and wait for the next dead ball",
After making the arrangement, Stan looked in Zhou Dun's direction, but only after looking at him did he realize, "Where's the person?"
Turning his gaze, Stan found that Zhou Dun was rushing forward with the ball, just like the game against Australia. At the same time, the audience was stunned by the scene of the Chinese defender, and they began to cheer for Zhou Dun.
"Although it's a little risky, it's still a solution," Stan thought.
Zhou Dun rushed forward, and the Belgian players were a little stunned. After Belgium scored a goal, they adopted a zone-marking defense. Everyone has their own defense zone, and Zhou Dun is the central defender of the Chinese team. It is impossible for Belgium to include him in the defensive range.
In this way, for a while, Zhou Dun dribbled the ball forward as if entering no one's land.
Fellaini couldn't see it, and he didn't care what the defense zone was. He ran towards Zhou Dun and directed Witsel with gestures at the same time.
But Witsel was hesitant, because the two midfielders of the Chinese team - Zheng Zhi and Chen Fei also rushed up. When Fellaini saw that Witsel was not working, he chased back in a fit of anger, but Zhou Dun ran fast.
Because Zhou Dun's forward drive was very sudden, he had already reached the arc of the Belgian penalty area before he knew it. The Chinese team's frontcourt trident finally caught the opportunity. Li Qiao, Ding Mu, and Lin Zhijian interspersed and moved.
Zhou Dun looked up and saw a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. He decided to pass the ball to Li Qiao, but when he was about to pass the ball, Fellaini's long legs had already shoveled over from the side and rear.
*****
The players of the Chinese team surrounded the referee and asked for a red card. According to the rules, a red card can be given for a tackle on the side and behind.
The referee Weber was grinning. He asked other idlers to leave, then pointed to Zhou Dun and Fellaini, "you two come here."
We have seen Webber's UEFA Champions League games. The referee will not be disturbed by other players when handling. Usually he will wait for all irrelevant people to go away before starting to deal with it.
Weber first talked to Zhou Dun, and then to Fellaini. Fellaini put Zhou's shoulders in a friendly manner.
After Weber explained clearly, he gave Fellaini a yellow card, because he considered that Fellaini tackled the ball first, but this action was a dangerous one. If he did not tackle the ball, but directly shoveled Zhou Dun, then the red card is certain.
Although the players of the Chinese team were dissatisfied with just a yellow card, they couldn't say anything more. Fortunately, they got a free kick in a very good position.
A free kick from outside the penalty area, almost in the same position as Stan usually placed the ball in training.
Normally, in this position, Li Qiao will directly drop the ball, but in this game, every opportunity is rare, and the players of the Chinese team must discuss it carefully.
When Weber drew the line, the three players in front of the Chinese team were discussing softly, Li Qiao, Hao Junmin, and Zheng Zhi.
And Wei Xiao from the backcourt of the Chinese team has also run up, presumably going to the penalty area to compete for a header.
The Belgian side is also ready to fight, with five players over 5 meters forming a human wall, and Courtois directs his teammates to line up the human wall in front of the goal.
Stan looked at his watch. It was almost 40 minutes into the first half. This was a good opportunity. Stan was looking forward to something. At this time, he also felt a little cold in the hot weather, trembling slightly nervously.
After Weber drew the line, he looked back and felt that it was all right. He waved to the players of the Chinese team to signal that it was all right.
The referee blew the whistle and the ball was ready to be kicked. Hao Junmin and Zheng Zhi walked away, and there was only one Li Qiao left in front of the ball. Obviously, Li Qiao took the penalty.
The Chinese fans in front of the TV were all looking forward to Li Qiao's falling leaf ball hitting the Belgian goal, Courtois looked at the ball and sighed.
The first 5 steps of Li Qiao's run-up were the same as before, but in the last step, Li Qiao didn't take the ball as usual, but rubbed the ball up and flew into the penalty area.
The Chinese players in the penalty area are just like Stan in training, squeezing in desperately, and everyone is moving towards the ball's landing point.
In the end, it was Van Buyten who grabbed the first spot. Van Buyten swung the back of his head and cleared the ball, but it was Li Qiao who was waiting there.
There are a lot of people in the penalty area, and Li Qiao must draw the ball within the range of the goal frame. This is a special request from Stan during training. It doesn’t matter who pushes the ball out.
Facing the falling ball, Li Qiao volleyed. In order not to fly, Li Qiao added a lot of backspin.
After the ball flew out, the Belgian coach was shocked. Now there are 10 people in front of Courtois. No matter who touches it, the ball will hang.
The ball hit Belgian defender Kompany and was refracted. Courtois stretched out his foot to touch it, but the ball was too fast and still scored, 1 to 1.
At the moment when the goal was scored, Stan jumped three feet high, and he punched into the air, venting his emotions. The excitement of the whole Chinese team can be imagined when the situation was so passive and they were able to tie the score.
Li Qiao didn't take off his clothes to celebrate, he rushed to the sidelines and did a long kneeling, soon his teammates hugged him, and Li Weifeng who was on the bench excitedly went up to meet Li Qiao, he kept talking and looked very excited.
