Chapter 17 The Quarterfinals, the Opponent Germany!

During the halftime break, Coleman asked the players to stick to the style of play in the first half, always use the offense to suppress the Chinese team, so as to find a chance to tie the score as soon as possible.

Wales did the same.

As soon as the second half started, they pushed the formation to the frontcourt, ready to besiege the Chinese team's goal, but when they did so, they found that it was not that simple, because the Chinese team also pressed out, the most obvious is that China Teams put their defense behind the center line, not the front of the box in the first half.

The Chinese team was also very tough in the face of Welsh's offense. They continued to fight for the midfield position and hit a wave of counterattacks when they found an opportunity. Originally, this way of playing gave Wales a better chance to break through, but they quickly I found that the opponent's midfield is still very tough, not just going up to grab the ball indiscriminately, but playing in a well-organized manner. When the Chinese team got the ball, they were not panic at all. Several of their midfielders would Carrying out constant passes and passing the ball to a safe position, it will be difficult for Wales to grab it again. They can only face the counterattack of the Chinese team.

Wales soon found it almost impossible to press as hard as they did in the second half of the first half, as the opposition pushed the formation forward.

They have to compete normally with the Chinese team.

Of course, this also has its advantages. The Chinese team's defense in front of the goal is not so tight. As long as they can hit the ball to key positions, it becomes much easier to find good opportunities.

But as the game progressed, Wales quickly discovered that it was very difficult.

The Chinese team in front of them is by no means a weak team. They have not gained much advantage in the battle for possession of the ball in the midfield. Sometimes they have to pay attention to the opponent's offense and have to devote more energy to defense. .

Wales was entangled.

There is nothing complicated about the Chinese team's style of play. There are basically two points - toughness in confrontation, toughness in fighting, and decisiveness in attacking.

In short, the Chinese team's style of play is very direct.

Wales feels as if they are facing England. Although they are not afraid of England, they have even won two games in the past two years, but England's style of play is indeed very tough. The same is true for the current Chinese team. It's hard to get that much cheaper.

The Welsh media had hoped that in the second half, Wales quickly attacked, and then they saw a nearly even confrontation.

The two sides are constantly fighting, and the game has become particularly intense, but to say how much advantage Wales has, it is completely invisible.

Wales head coach Coleman stood on the sidelines. He watched the two sides fight in the midfield and felt a little puzzled. Originally he thought the game was under control. Although Wales was one goal behind, as long as he worked hard to tie the game There is even great hope of overtaking, but the current game is different from what he thought.

The Chinese team is out!

The Chinese team has always been defensive. The goal at the beginning of the first half was a bit surprising, but it was also within a reasonable range, because the players were not very adaptable to the opponent at the beginning of the game.

Now Coleman suddenly realizes that he has misunderstood, this Chinese team is not only defensive, they also played very well after they attacked.

So he was more worried about the game.

On the other hand, the Chinese team's coaching bench, Wan Sheng, was very satisfied with the game. They showed what they had trained, especially the midfielders. In the process of confronting their opponents, they did not lose at all.

This is actually something that Wansheng did not expect.

Wales is a strong team. In terms of ability, it is not comparable to the top teams in the world, and it is not too far behind. The overall strength of the Chinese team is one grade lower. It can only be said to be second-class in the world. But not falling behind, this may be related to the football training master system, which has a feeling for the improvement of players' abilities, and is also directly related to the temporary performance of players.

The current situation is what he is happy to see.

The reason why the team is allowed to attack is not to seek offense, but to continue to ensure defense, let the midfielder contain Wales' energy, and not let the opponent pass the ball to a dangerous position at will.

The players are doing well.

Many media commentators are also praising the Chinese team's performance. They don't think the Chinese team's strength can catch up with Wales. Now that they can play so well, they must have played well on the spot.

The commentator of the Central TV Sports Channel said, "The Chinese team is not at a disadvantage at all. Our worries in the past may be unnecessary. Now looking at the Chinese team, several midfielders are fighting very hard!"

"Of course, Wales is not at a disadvantage. Their attack just now is very threatening, but you must know that Wales is one goal behind. If the game continues like this, it will be very unfavorable to them."

"Before the game, Wales head coach Coleman emphasized Wales' toughness and said that Wales will definitely beat the Chinese team, but it seems that he is going to break his promise. Of course, it is too early to talk about the result. We hope that the Chinese team can Continue to perform well."

"Seeing this strong Chinese team, we are not uneasy. Wansheng is indeed the best head coach in the world. He transformed the Chinese team into a strong team in a short period of time!"

————

In fact, Wales is not at a disadvantage.

Although the Chinese team performed very well, there is still a gap between the overall strength and the individual abilities of the players and Wales. Wales only has a "little advantage", and even a small advantage has advantages.

In the 20 minutes of the second half, Wales threatened to shoot three times, while the Chinese team only once, neither side scored, but many Welsh fans believe that the team is not far from scoring.

Soon the game reached the 76th minute, and the score between the two teams was still 1-0. The Chinese team had the lead in the score with the goal in the opening 2 minutes. In the past 5 minutes, Wales launched consecutive offensives, allowing China. The team had to shrink the formation.

Many people are worried about the goal of the Chinese team.

The same is true for Wansheng. The team continued to hold on for 30 minutes, but until now, the ability to continue to defend depends on the perseverance and luck of the players.

He wants the team to win.

But if he faces a crisis, there is no way to do it. He has a football training master system, but it is not a 'match modifier'. It can only play a supporting role in the team and cannot really decide the outcome.

This time Wales got a good chance. The striker Bell threw a left and right belt and passed two defenders in a row. After that, he hoisted the ball into the penalty area, and Ramsey, who was inserted behind, followed with a strong shot.

"Ramsey!"

"Hula..."

The Welsh fans were ready to celebrate the goal, and even the earplugs jumped to celebrate, but the football hit the post and bounced off.

"Ramsey's shot! Goalpost! Goalpost! Goalpost helped the Chinese team! Too dangerous! The Chinese team escaped!"

Welsh fans couldn't help but feel a pity for not scoring a goal. It seemed that God was not on their side. It was almost a sure chance to score a goal just now, but the goalpost helped the Chinese team.

Ramsay felt sorry, he covered his cheeks with dissatisfaction, but he had no time to regret.

The Chinese team launched a counterattack!

The football hit the goal post and landed at the feet of full-back Zhao Mingjian. Zhao Mingjian immediately kicked the ball out with a big foot. Wang Qiuming chased the ball in the frontcourt and unloaded the ball with his head before the opponent's defender. Then he turned around to protect the ball, and a burst of sprints threw the defender away.

"Counterattack! Wang Qiuming! Great opportunity!"

"Let's look at the Chinese team's counterattack. Wang Qiuming is leading fast! No other players are keeping up, but there is an empty space in front of him!"

All the Welsh players were aware of the danger, but there was nothing they could do. After Ramsey shot just now, they all regretted not scoring a goal. When the football came over, it was too late to think about defending.

In many games, goals often appear at this moment.

Now they can only pray that goalkeeper Williams can keep the goal.

At this moment, Williams shoulders all the hopes of the Welshman, but facing the single-handedness of the world's top striker, even the world's best goalkeeper will feel powerless, and he has not reached the world's best level.

When Wang Qiuming kicked and shot, he could almost only make a symbolic pounce to the side, and when he approached his ear, a warm cheer rang out.

Williams knows all too well what that means!

"Wang Qiuming! Wang Qiuming! Wang Qiuming! He helped China score the second goal!"

"2 to 0! 2 to 0! The 77th minute of the game! Wales' goal just now failed to score, and the Chinese team immediately launched a quick counterattack. Wang Qiuming helped the Chinese team score the ball!"

"With ten minutes left, the Chinese team leads by two goals!"

Following the commentator's words, all the Chinese fans were cheering, and the substitute players from the Chinese team's coaching bench also rushed out. They were all venting their excitement. This goal gave the Chinese team an even greater advantage. Welsh think about it again. It has become very difficult to tie the score.

Those who just thought Wales could equalize have all been silent.

They couldn't believe the result.

Even the English commentator said, "The Chinese team leads Wales by two goals, and Wales has little chance. There is no doubt that in this World Cup, the Chinese team has become a vigilant dark horse!"

"Wales are not weak, they beat England last year, and now they are going to lose in the last 16 of the World Cup!"

"It's a tragedy for Wales, they thought they had a good opponent and they lost the game."

In the media discussion, the game restarted soon, Wales would not give the Chinese team much time to celebrate, they seized all the time to attack.

time is limited!

With two goals behind, Wales almost gave up defense and focused on attacking, and they performed well. In the 84th minute, Bell helped Wales catch up with a goal and rewrite the score to 2-1.

Wales sees hope of tying!

But in the next game, Wales failed to break the goal of the Chinese team again. When the referee blew the whistle at the end of the game, the Welsh players burst into tears of despair.

They lost the game!

The Chinese team is cheering excitedly. After beating Wales, they have reached the quarter-finals of the World Cup.

This is a historic moment!

All the Chinese fans are cheering!

The Chinese team has created too much history in this World Cup, and Chinese fans are beginning to look forward to the team's next performance.

Top eight!

Rival - Germany!
