For Gao Chai and the other two girls, the current situation is that happiness comes too suddenly.
Just in the last second...well, two seconds!
They are still worrying, anxious and sighing!
What should I do? I get blocked every time. Not to mention I can definitely score a goal, it’s not a good idea to be blocked like this all the time!
And in the next second, Wang Yijing scored a goal!
The two girls still didn't use the loudspeakers in their hands, they didn't react!
Over there, Brother Wei had the same feeling.
As a semi-professional football fan, Jiang Hua works in a newspaper and magazine company. Sports reporting is not their main task, but he follows various games. Of course, it’s not just football, but his understanding of football, if not better than Jiang Hua, is at least not worse.
In his opinion, the Chinese women's team had a lot of problems in this game.
First of all, it’s the coach’s problem. The playing style is a bit too monotonous.
Yes, modern football emphasizes defense, but we can’t just rely on Wang Yijing alone!
We can't just put all the burden on her just because she performed well last time.
Wang Yijing herself also had problems. There were two passes, and at least in his opinion, Wang Yijing's positioning was not good enough. If she could run better, regardless of whether she could score a goal, at least there would be an obvious attack. But now the attack was almost resolved near the penalty area - yes, sometimes a team uses this tactic, but obviously the Chinese team does not. If this continues, morale will definitely be affected, and the players will either become impatient or depressed.
Due to improper command and limited personal strength, he was about to become pessimistic about the game, but at this moment, Wang Yijing scored a goal!
He had seen three of Wang Yijing's goals before, so he was not shocked by her goal, but her ball path was blocked!
At least from his point of view it was blocked. Did Wang Yijing see another ball path?
How did you see it?
Compared to him, Jiang Hua over there was much simpler. He waved his arms vigorously and roared.
All this happened at the same time, and the referee blew the whistle to signal the goal was valid.
There was a burst of cheers from the Chinese team's bench.
Wang Yajing did a somersault neatly!
As soon as she finished flipping through the pages, Zhang Sheng touched her head. She raised her head and smiled at Zhang Sheng, who pinched her nose.
Elizabeth shook her hands in anger. She felt there was something wrong. Sure enough, there was a problem. However, this also explained how the Chinese team scored those three goals earlier!
That number eight is indeed very capable.
"Coach--" her assistant Aisha said worriedly.
"It's okay. We have a scenario for this situation." Elizabeth said, and came to the sidelines, shouting to her players, "Run - run - faster - faster!"
The previous goal was also due to their players’ poor positioning. If No. 13 could move forward two meters, Wang Yijing would have no chance to play football at all!
The Australian players sped up, and the Chinese team followed suit. They trained in the base for two months! There was no fear at all for this level of running, but Australia increased their running not only in speed but also in power.
The advantages of race were brought into play in this kind of running. Che Yitong suffered a disadvantage in this kind of confrontation, not to mention Wang Yijing. In the next ten minutes, she was knocked down twice - the referee did not give any card!
Gao and Chai were so angry that they stomped their feet, and Jiang Hua also frowned.
Coach Ni came to Zheng Weifeng again. This time, before she could speak, Zheng Weifeng said, "Do you know... why I thought you were pretty good?"
Coach Ni was stunned: "You said it was my understanding of space?"
"The first time you kicked a ball, you couldn't even kick it straight. Can I say you kicked it well? But you knew where to kick it."
Coach Ni hummed softly.
"Then your students should also figure this out!"
Coach Ni pursed his lips, wanted to say something, but finally just hummed again.
In the 38th minute, Australia scored a goal.
Before this, both sides exchanged blows, and everyone wanted to score another goal, but no one succeeded.
Wang Yijing, who was under stricter guard, found it difficult to replicate her previous performance, and the Australian side did not find a suitable opportunity.
Then, Che Yitong made a mistake.
At that time, Zhang Sheng wanted to pass the ball to her, but maybe because of the speed or maybe because of distraction, Che Yitong was unable to run up in the first place.
Of course, she reacted quickly and went to answer it immediately, but Australia's No. 13 started almost at the same time as her. There was not much difference in speed between the two of them, but there was a difference in strength.
Number 13 used his body to block Che Yitong and got the ball first, then without waiting for Che Yitong to tackle, he passed it directly to number 6. Number 6 ran with the ball, Zhang Sheng was stuck in the front position, and number 6 couldn't get through, so he passed the ball to number 16. Yang Mo went to block, but number 16 made a side kick and passed the ball to number 8 next to her. Number 8's ball path came out, and then she kicked the ball directly, and the football hit the crossbar, and then fell into the goal frame.
The Chinese team's goalkeeper went to block the ball, and she jumped up, but the position of her jump was a little off, and in the end, the football almost slipped through her hand and fell down.
There was jubilation in Australia, but the Chinese team was inevitably a little discouraged. Just a few minutes later, they would have ended the first half with a lead!
In the next few minutes, neither team made much progress.
The Chinese team wanted to score another goal, and Australia also wanted to press on with the victory. The two teams struggled in the midfield and ended up in a draw.
When the game ended, Australia was obviously happier. Although they did not score an extra point, firstly, they had a slight advantage on the field; and secondly, they were against... well, although they did not win, at least they were tied.
Any team that catches up later will be more confident.
The Chinese team is the opposite, and many of them feel that the current way of playing is a bit awkward. It’s not that they have an opinion on Wang Yajing, but originally, they had more choices.
“Come on! Come on!”
When passing through the passage, Gao Chai and the other player came over again. The Chinese players looked at them and they waved their arms vigorously. Wang Yijing blinked once, then blinked again, then secretly and carefully made a scissors hand gesture again, but immediately stopped making it, then glanced in the direction of Zhang Sheng, who casually patted her head.
Wang Yijing stuck out her tongue and pretended nothing had happened.
Gao Chai and the other man were a little confused.
"That little girl seemed very scared when she made the scissor hand gesture to us just now."
“…Yes, I do.”
"It wasn't like this last time."
"Last time they... No, we were ahead!"
"Then you haven't lost yet."
“…It was leveled.”
“Australia is so abominable!”
"Well, it's just bullying people with your body!"
The two little girls, whose previous knowledge of football was only about the eleven-a-side system, didn’t even have much knowledge of formations. But now they felt that Australia was more difficult to deal with than Japan… and it was because their bodies were more difficult to deal with!
The two were talking here, but there was no sound in the Chinese team's locker room.
Everyone drank water and wiped their sweat in silence. Zheng Weifeng glanced at them and asked, "Why, are you shocked?"
No one spoke. Just when Zheng Weifeng was about to say something else, Yang Mo raised her hand hesitantly, and Zheng Weifeng nodded at her.
"Well, coach, I... I just want to ask, why... you only pass the ball to Wang Yijing." After she said that, she looked at Wang Yijing embarrassedly. Wang Yijing smiled at her with shining eyes. She was also curious.
Zheng Weifeng hummed: "Wang Yijing, what do you think?"
Wang Yijing was stunned, then quickly shook her head: "I, I don't know either."
"So what do you think about this?"
Wang Yijing thought for a moment and said, "My ability...is not that good yet. I wasted a lot of opportunities."
Zheng Weifeng tried hard to suppress the smile on his face: "You don't have to waste it."
Wang Yijing felt a little stiff. She didn’t want to waste it! But she couldn't match the other person's strength, so she was trapped, and then she had no way to move the ball... Well, her awareness was not very good either! Her IQ isn't that low, so why is her awareness so poor?
"Just now there was a ball like this." Zheng Weifeng casually posted a few numbers on the tactical board, "You are here, it's hard for you to move, and you can't shoot. You passed the ball to Zhang Sheng at the time, but why didn't you pass it to Yang Mo? Isn't Yang Mo here?"
Zheng Weifeng pointed at a position. Zhang Sheng and Wang Yijing were facing diagonally and vertically, while Yang Mo and Wang Yijing were facing diagonally and horizontally.
"If you passed the ball to Yang Mo, she could have passed it directly to Dandan, and Dandan was unattended at the time!"
Wang Yijing froze even more.
Some other players were also a little dazed. Zheng Weifeng said that before this, they really didn’t see any problem with Wang Yajing’s pass! Because from the first step, there was almost no difference between her passing the ball to Zhang Sheng and passing the ball to Yang Mo, but the second step... it seemed different. There was a distance when passing the ball from Zhang Sheng's position to Dandan. How did Zhang Sheng deal with it at that time?
It seemed like he ran forward a few steps and then passed the ball to Dandan!
She ran very fast, but after just a few steps, it seemed that there was no longer enough space for Dandan!
"Space!" Zheng Weifeng pointed at the tactical board, "I have been telling you about space. This space is not just the current space. It would be best if you could also see the future space!"
The players nodded, and Wang Yijing nodded harder.
"Also, when did I ever tell you to only pass the ball to Wang Yijing?"
…
! ! !
The players froze there again! Yes, Zheng Weifeng did ask them to pass the message to Wang Yijing, but he did not say only!
"Wang Yijing's positional awareness has never been strong. Are you guys not strong either?"
Yang Mo and the others lowered their heads. Wang Yijing wanted to lower her head as well, but she felt that it was not right, so she raised her head back and forth twice. Finally, she raised her head a little bit with aggrieved expression, "Coach Zheng..."
Zheng Weifeng pretended not to hear it.
Compared to them, the atmosphere in Australia was much more relaxed. Even Elizabeth felt that the problem was not too big. Of course, anything could happen in football, but from the entire first half, the Chinese team only had one goalkeeper, No. 8, and that goal was certainly powerful - she still felt that that goal was somewhat incredible, although she would say that kind of ball was more dependent on luck, but what about the three goals scored by the Japanese team?
Even if it is luck, it is strength + luck.
Such players are very scary.
How scary?
Imagine what it would be like if Beckham suddenly found himself in the youth team? That would be a dimensionality reduction attack on their opponents!
Fortunately, the opponent is not Beckham. Although he has outstanding footwork, his flaws are also obvious. With the Japanese team paving the way ahead, they can handle it better.
They have already won one game, and if they win another one, they will almost certainly secure their place in the group stage.
Of course, the Japanese team is not easy to deal with, but even if they can't win, they can still advance by losing by one goal!
So what Elizabeth is saying here is - "Girls, work harder, just like in the last minute of the first half! Run, move, don't be stingy with your energy! The next game will be in three days!"
Her teammates nodded vigorously, and then came to the stadium with their heads held high. The experience just now had told them that as long as they ran, the Chinese team would have no way to stop them!
But soon, they were dumbfounded.
At the end of the first half, the ball was on the Chinese team's side, so the possession was still in the Chinese team's hands.
Xu Aidi passed the ball to Zhang Sheng, who ran forward with the ball. The Australian players followed her and began to press Zhang Sheng after other players joined them. Zhang Sheng passed the ball to Che Yitong, who continued to run.
At this time, there is not much difference from before.
When the Chinese team approached the penalty area, the Australian players began to speed up and gather more closely, and the number nine defending Wang Yijing was more attentive. Usually at this time, the Chinese team would pass the ball to Wang Yijing!
This time, not only would she not be able to prevent Wang Yijing from kicking the ball, she would even steal the ball!
If the attack is launched from her, the Chinese team will be caught off guard.
She had a good idea, and then Che Yitong passed the ball to □□Dan, who was lying in wait in the goal area, and kicked the ball directly -
