Chapter 23 A Blow to the Head

"Quinnie was a little slow in advancing, but the Chinese team's wing attack has already started. We are not afraid of mistakes, but we are afraid of not being able to attack! The current situation is very good. After Lekai came forward, Chen Man's ability on the wing began to be liberated. Relying on Chen Man's advance on the wing, the Chinese team was also very active in the header in the middle."

"After Chen Xiang came on the court, he also performed very well in the header. Although he was slightly at a disadvantage in the confrontation, he was always able to touch the ball first with several unloadings!"

He Wei's voice was loud and resonant.

From his voice, it can be judged that the current situation is relatively clear.

For the Chinese fans at the scene, their cheers gradually rose under China's waves of attacks.

The first half was indeed too passive, and in the second half, the Chinese team immediately changed its color.

Of course, the most important thing is the problem of persistence.

After all, after scoring the first goal in the first half, the Chinese team quickly entered the retreat stage.

At the same time, the Chinese team should also be careful of Sweden's counterattack.

When Lekai came forward, Sweden also launched several threatening counterattacks.

Although they were all blocked by the defense line commanded by Liu Kairui, they were still not so stable.

Especially under the opponent's penetrating style of play, it was difficult for the Chinese team to grasp the opponent's passing gap.

At this time, China and Sweden have fallen into an offensive momentum.

Both sides did not relax at all.

For them, any first goal can give them a great lead.

"The backcourt can pass the ball directly to the frontcourt and let our forwards rush up!"

Swedish midfielder Ekdal shouted to the defenders.

Lekai put a lot of pressure on their midfield. Whether in offense or defense, as long as Lekai participates, their rhythm will be disrupted.

For this reason, many times, the Swedish team directly uses long passes to find forwards.

This idea can be used.

After all, for the Chinese team's defense line, the Swedish forward line is still very impactful.

Both sides have their own plans.

At this time, they are like arrows on a crossbow, with no way back.

They can only rush all the way!

The tempo of the game began to become fast.

This gave the Chinese team a lot of discomfort to a certain extent.

After all, except for Lekai, Chen Man and Liu Kairui, it was difficult for the others to adapt to this fast-paced style of play.

But they also gritted their teeth and persisted.

Lekai would retreat from time to time to help relieve the pressure.

Of course, Lekai's focus was more on midfield control and offense.

This also led to a sharp increase in the defensive pressure on Ouyang Fei and Di Lei.

Defenders with knives like Zhang Chenxi were also directly sealed in the backcourt, and they didn't want to have any chance to rush forward.

As the game progressed, the heat of the game was also constantly increasing.

For everyone, Sweden's strength is definitely higher, whether it is in the world ranking or the personnel lineup configuration, it is better than the Chinese team.

But at this point in the game, the two sides were in a draw.

No one thought that this game would enter such a stalemate.

This is incredible for many people.

But some people also said that the Chinese team did not want to look so weak, especially in the ability of the top players to be better than Sweden.

Lekai, Chen Man and Liu Kairui.

These are the main players of the giants, and even the thigh players.

Especially the combination of Lekai + Chen Man, which is also very threatening in the top league.

If the Swedish team is not careful, it will be broken by this combination.

The Chinese team is obviously strengthening its top combat power, and everyone else serves it.

Lekai and Chen Man have become the sharpest spears and the hardest shields of the entire Chinese team.

And facing the outbreak of these two people, the Swedish team is a little overwhelmed.

Just like Augustinsson, the right back of Sweden, this guy has been almost broken by Chen Man.

Just like what he said during the halftime break, Chen Man really broke the opponent's mentality of the sideline.

Now Augustinsson is useless except for reminding the middle to compete for the top.

Of course, the head coach of the Swedish team has also thought about using substitutions to make up for the gap.

But the question is who to replace?

Is there a Swedish full-back who can keep up with Chen Man's speed?

And even if the speed is kept up, can the ability keep up?

It's nonsense to replace anyone, it's better to save a substitution quota.

As for blocking Chen Man like in the first half, they still didn't dare.

Blocking Chen Man means liberating Lekai.

The latter's threat is no less than Chen Man!

It can be said that the Swedish team is in a dead end and they can only be forced to give up the right side.

And what they can do now is just to rely on attacking and get the first goal.

If they don't score, they will continue to bear the pressure from the Chinese team on the wing.

Time passed little by little.

The Chinese team's attack on the right is also booming.

Chen Man is having a good time!

He directly kicked the opponent's full-back into a fool.

However, the Chinese team still lacks a player who can grasp the goal.

Sometimes Lekai fantasizes that it would be great if they had a center forward like Giroud.

Even if it's not Giroud, a peak Wang Yi is also good.

But these are only fantasies.

They still need to rely on themselves.

The Chinese team's offense is very strong.

Sweden's counterattack and penetration were also excellent.

Although the defense was a bit lame, the offense still put a lot of pressure on the Chinese team.

It can be said that the two sides are now stabbing each other with spears. Whoever can't stand it and falls first will lose.

Unknowingly, the game entered the 80th minute.

There are still ten minutes before the end of the game, and the current score is still 1:1.

The rhythm of the game in the stadium is still fierce.

In the second half, both sides carried two yellow cards.

Di Lei and Zhang Chenxi chose tactical fouls to prevent the opponent's breakthrough.

But these still can't stop the Swedish team's attack.

The same is true for Sweden.

Facing Chen Man's attack, the midfielder and full-back near the right also carried yellow cards.

Chen Man was almost kicked badly in this game, but this guy was still sprinting like he didn't care about his life.

With Chen Man's breakthrough on the wing, the Chinese team's offense also seemed extremely strong.

The sudden change occurred in the 82nd minute.

As usual, the Swedish team kicked the ball directly from the backcourt and looked for the forward.

After stopping the ball, Berry subconsciously flicked the ball to the left. This action was not fast, but when Zhang Chenxi turned sideways, his foot slipped and his entire center of gravity began to shift.

When Berry saw this scene, how could he give up such a good opportunity? He flicked his foot and directly passed Zhang Chenxi and entered the penalty area.

"The Chinese full-back slipped, Berry! Entered the penalty area!"

The Swedish commentator suddenly yelled, and his voice was extremely sharp.

This is a good opportunity to score!

After seeing Zhang Chenxi slip, Gao Leiliang panicked.

In this situation, it is a big problem for them to lose the chain at such a critical moment.

Facing the aggressive Berry, Gao Leiliang immediately responded.

The Chinese defense line continued to retreat.

But at this time, Berry flicked the ball horizontally, pulled out of the gap, and rubbed the ball hard with his right foot.

This is a long shot!

The ball passed Gao Leiliang and flew to the other side where goalkeeper Tong Lei moved.

In an instant, Tong Lei was unable to turn around and save the ball. He could only turn his head to look at the goalpost at a distance, hoping that the ball would hit the goalpost and fly out.

The ball did hit the goalpost, but it bounced into the net.

The sudden change made the scene suddenly quiet.

The next second, the Swedish fans cheered violently.

In the 82nd minute, near the end of the game, Swedish player Berry seized the mistake of the Chinese defender and shot from the far corner to help the Swedish team complete the reversal.

Sweden 2:1 China!

China's goal came too suddenly.

It was like a blow to the head, making the Chinese players' hearts seem to be tightly clenched.

"Fuck! This goal was lost"

Chen Man held his head, this goal should not have been lost.

But no one expected Zhang Chenxi's sudden slip.

There are physical reasons, excessive tension, and too much pressure.

Anyway, this mistake that should not have happened was prompted by various reasons.

And it was because of this mistake that the Chinese team fell behind.

This goal silenced the Chinese fans at the scene, and their expressions were gloomy.

Perhaps, they will face their first defeat in the World Cup.
