Chapter 306 Wu Lei misses the ball?

In the 15th minute of the game, the Chinese coaching staff completed their assessment of the Brazilian team and drew a conclusion.

We still have to play defense!
Li Yi had an offensive heart, but in the end he had to bow to the facts. Facts have proved that the level of the Brazilian Olympic team is still higher than that of the Chinese Olympic team, and the gap between the two is still a bit large.

"Give it to him, give it to him!"

Jiang Yuan pointed at Liao Lisheng, signaling Zhang Linpeng to pass the ball to him. The latter made a long pass and accurately found Liao Lisheng who was waiting in the middle.

Have the opportunity!
Jiang Yuan, sensing a scoring opportunity, ran out immediately, ready to create a forward passing point for Liao Lisheng.

Mikael is not a fool either. He has made special plans for the Chinese team's left side. If you look carefully, you will find that as long as Jiang Yuan runs, there will be a Brazilian player following him.

Before it was Sousa, now it’s Luan.

In this game, Brazil wanted to see Neymar get the ball the most, and least wanted to see Jiang Yuan get the ball. In order to prevent Jiang Yuan from getting the ball, the Brazilian players on the field also made great efforts.

"Grass!"

Liao Lisheng was a little annoyed. He didn't pass the ball in the first place. Now Jiang Yuan's position was blocked by Sousa and Luan.

In desperation, Liao Lisheng had to pass the ball to Wu Lei on the right. After stopping the ball, the latter paused for a moment and then suddenly accelerated.

Among the other nine outfield players of the National Olympic Team, Zhang Linpeng's awareness is relatively good. When he saw Wu Lei get the ball, Zhang Linpeng's first reaction was to run forward to receive the ball.

If Wu Lei is stuck in a stalemate with the opposing defensive player on the wing, Zhang Linpeng can replace Wu Lei and move to the wing.

If Wu Lei is blocked, Zhang Linpeng can also help Wu Lei break the blockade by hitting the wall.

What Wu Lei is facing now is the first situation!
"Wu Lei, 1v1 with Jesus returning to defense on the wing, Zhang Linpeng goes to the bottom line, Wu Lei passes directly!"

"The full-backs are a tactic that the Chinese team likes to use very much. In the quarter-finals, the Chinese team repeatedly threatened the Portuguese goal by relying on the full-backs to cross the ball."

"Look at how Zhang Linpeng handles this ball. Waiting for him in front is Brazil's defensive iron gate Douglas Santos. This player's one-on-one defensive ability is quite outstanding."

"Zhang Linpeng is observing. He should be looking for Jiang Yuan, but Jiang Yuan's current condition..."

When Zhang Lu said this, the director's camera turned to Jiang Yuan on the left. At this time, there was Sousa in front of Jiang Yuan and Zeca behind him. The two of them directly sandwiched Jiang Yuan like stuffing.

"Come!"

Jiang Yuan reached out for the ball and motioned Zhang Linpeng to pass it over here.

Zhang Linpeng, who was dribbling the ball, knew that he was no match for Santos, so he decisively chose to make a long pass. Jiang Yuan was about to run out to catch the ball when Sousa in front of him fell to the ground.

"Beep!"

Referee Olga blew the whistle, indicating that the Chinese team had committed an offensive foul.

"no?"

Jiang Yuan spread his hands towards Olga: "I didn't use any force!"

Olga put her hands in front of herself, indicating that Jiang Yuan's complaint was invalid.

"My day..."

Jiang Yuan, who was on the court, finally realized that something was wrong.

Brazil is good at magic, and with the home whistle, isn’t that invincible?
Just like the hamburger defensive tactics of Sousa and Zeca just now, they would be knocked to the ground with magic as soon as they were touched. How the hell can they play this game?
Without waiting for Jiang Yuan to react, Brazil regained possession of the ball and began to counterattack the Chinese team.

This counterattack was initiated by Zeca. Although he is a full-back, this guy's passing skills are really not bad.

Snapped!
A long pass was made directly to the middle.

The purpose is very clear, it is to give it to Neymar!
ta!

A crisp sound was heard, and Neymar cleverly stopped the ball with his body and calves. After looking around, he passed the ball to Barbosa who had been waiting for a long time on the right.

Neymar's stop was very gorgeous, and the Avilante Stadium erupted in cheers at this moment. Fans like to watch fancy stops and dribbles, but from a professional point of view, Brazil's strength this time lies in their counterattack speed.

The entire process from regaining the ball to passing it to the frontcourt took Brazil less than 5 seconds. This advancement efficiency is beyond the reach of other U23 teams.

Of course, this has a lot to do with the Brazilian players’ playing style. Although they are good at football skills, several defenders in this game, such as Zeca and Marquinhos, all play with the ball.

This Brazilian team is terrifying, as it can play precise passing and controlling games as well as quick counterattacks!
The game reached the 21st minute and the score was still 0:0. The coaching staff and fans of the Chinese team were quite happy. Putting aside the situation on the field, this score was still acceptable at the moment.

Drag it, just drag it hard!
The Chinese team wanted to drag out the game, but Brazil would certainly not let China do so. Barbosa and Luan controlled the ball in the midfield, constantly looking for gaps in the Chinese team's defense.

"Move forward!"

Luan pointed to the front right and signaled Barbosa to go to the side. Zeka, who rushed over from behind, completed the task of going to the side for Barbosa, so Barbosa rushed directly to Jiang Yuan's position.

"Look at Neymar!"

Jiang Yuan shouted, trying to remind his teammates, but it was too late. Luan did not pass the ball to the right sideline as expected, but made a fake move and passed the ball to Neymar in the middle.

"Woww!!"

Seeing their star player getting the ball, the Brazilian fans in the stands screamed, and the green Brazilian flag in the stands seemed to swallow up half of the stadium.

The director's camera focused on Neymar, and the tattoos on the Brazilian star's face were clearly visible in the reflection of sweat.

He slowly dribbled the ball with the outside of his foot, and after getting close to Liao Lisheng, he stepped back with his right foot and kicked the ball up with the heel of his left foot.

"Rainbow dribble! Rainbow dribble from Neymar!"

"Liao Lisheng didn't react, Liao Lisheng knocked Neymar down!"

"The referee blew the whistle, Liao Lisheng got a yellow card, this is a free kick in the front court of the Brazilian team!"

Looking at the yellow card held out by referee Olga, Liao Lisheng smiled helplessly. There was no other way. He knew that he absolutely could not let Neymar pass in this position, otherwise the goal would be in danger.

The on-site commentator synchronized the news with the audience in the live broadcast room.

"Because of accumulated yellow cards, Liao Lisheng will miss the next game"

This is bad news, but the fans in the live broadcast room no longer care about the yellow card suspension issue.

The key is whether to win or lose this game!

"Left! Look a little further to the left!"

"Don't leave any gaps, don't leave any gaps on the left side, just hold number 11 in place, yes, yes, that's it!"

In the Chinese team's penalty area, Wang Dalei was directing the players to arrange a human wall. On the Brazilian side, Augusto and Neymar were standing behind the set-piece spot.

Both of them are right-footed, so they stand one in front of the other. Although this position is not as good as standing separately, it is also quite confusing.

The referee blew the whistle, Augusto raised his left hand and started running.

Raising the left hand was the Brazilian team's secret signal, which the Chinese team did not know.

"Augusto, run over here and leak it!"

"Neymar, right foot, pass it outside the penalty area!"

"Jesus takes the ball and shoots a long shot from outside the box!"

"The ball goes in! Oh my God!"

"Brazil scored the first goal!" The home team's stands were crowded with people, while the visiting team's stands were silent. Amid the cheers, Jesus, who scored the goal, quickly ran off the field, raised his right hand to make a "6", pretending that he was on the phone.

Calling to celebrate was not a mockery of the Chinese team, but a tribute to his mother. Jesus often calls his mother to share his joy.

“maravilhoso! (It’s great!)”

In a few seconds, Jesus was surrounded by the Brazilian Olympic players. After more than 20 minutes of crazy attack, they finally scored a goal.

The director also started his operation. After giving coach Mikael the celebration shot, the camera focused directly on Jiang Yuan. At this time, Jiang Yuan was "communicating in a friendly manner" with his teammates.

"Go ahead, don't be fooled so easily, okay?"

"Brother Fei, you can't let Jesus run away!"

Jiang Yuan is also having a headache now. Brazil's simple free kick tactic actually allowed them to score a goal.

Offense is one thing, but poor defense is the main problem.

For some reason, Jiang Yuan had a very strange feeling, that is, the Chinese team's defense was always a beat slower than the Brazilian team's offense.

If the rhythm is not kept up, the defense will naturally be bad.

On the other side, Li Yi and Li Shubin were sitting on the bench, both of them had frowned on their faces and kept talking, apparently wanting to make some tactical adjustments based on the situation on the field.

Fans who witnessed the match might have noticed that Li Yi barely blew his hair in the 20 minutes or so, because all his attention was on the game.

You can see that this guy is really nervous now!
"Beep!"

The second goal of the first half was also scored by the Chinese team. Liu Binbin passed the ball directly back to Wang Dalei, who kicked it to Jiang Yuan.

The play was very clean and effective. Barbosa tried to steal the ball, but he was only 1 meters tall and very thin. He was no match for Jiang Yuan in terms of physical confrontation. Jiang Yuan took a big step forward, caught up with Barbosa, and then stopped the ball with his chest.

Liu Binbin, who completed the reception, was very smart. He did not stick to the ball. He passed the ball forward as soon as he got it, and Jiang Yuan, who was trying to get the ball again at the bottom.

"Go up! Go up and stop him!"

Seeing Jiang Yuan eat the ball, goalkeeper Weverton felt the pressure doubled and quickly signaled the midfielder to keep Jiang Yuan close, and Sousa did so.

Sousa is a real defensive midfielder, and his defensive ability is unmatched by Barbosa. Jiang Yuan swayed left and right and found that this guy was not as easy to break through as he had imagined.

But it doesn’t matter, Jiang Yuan is not the only one on the left.

Snap—pop!

With a simple and clean wall pass, Jiang Yuan received Shi Ke's pass and got the ball before Sousa. Seeing that he was out of position, Sousa wanted to use his body to push Jiang Yuan away, but in the U23 age group, there were very few defensive midfielders who could push Jiang Yuan away, so Sousa's operation could be said to be a bit whimsical.

After completing the move to the bottom line, Jiang Yuan got a one-on-one opportunity with Zeka on the wing.

"Beautiful! The Chinese team is trying to create 1-on-1 or even 1-on-2 opportunities for Jiang Yuan, so that they can launch their offense."

"Look at Jiang Yuan's dribbling past the defense, speeding up and moving inside to pass the ball!"

"Ouch! That's a fake cross!"

"Cruyff turned! Jiang Yuan passed the ball to his left foot and walked inside along the baseline!"

"Zeka was passed!"

"Pass it to the middle, Wu Lei is in front of the goal... grab the ball!!"

"Ouch!!!!"

It’s a pity that the live broadcast room did not require the commentator to show his face, otherwise He Wei’s current appearance with his hands on his head would be seen by the fans.

It was a perfect shooting opportunity. Wu Lei only needed to run to the position and gently push the ball to score.

As a result, he did get to the position, but Wu Lei kicked the ball away!
"I rely on!"

Jiang Yuan stared at Wu Lei with wide eyes and spread his hands: "No, Brother Lei!"

"My mine!"

Wu Lei knew he had committed a crime and quickly apologized to his teammates.

"ah----!!!"

Li Yi grabbed his hair with both hands and turned red.

He couldn't even seize the goal that was right in front of him.

This TM has already been fed into my mouth!

【? ? ? ? ? 】

[Brother Lei! What is this?]

[Master Wu Lei, please show me your professional player certification, thank you]

[Even when they are in front of the goal, they can still kick the ball out. Even my 3-year-old daughter can kick this kind of ball into the goal]

[I gave up. I thought a big wave was coming, but it turned out to be a big wave]

【Grass! 】

[I can really do it now, no exaggeration, I really scored this goal, I was the main striker of the school team in junior high school, I was very fierce! ]

[Is this a chicken feather thing? ]

[Don't criticize Wu Lei, what's the point? Look at Xiao Jiang's teammates, except Liao Lisheng and Zhang Linpeng, the others are just side dishes]

[Just do your best. After all, we have been able to brag about reaching the semi-finals for several years. Although Olympic football is not a big competition, fake fans don’t know this, so they may think that our Chinese men’s football team has risen! ]

[The National Olympic Team advances to the semifinals = the rise of Chinese men's football, I think it's possible! ]

【Forehead……】

[Don't worry, wait for me to explode, and then I'll do a hat trick, and see if Brazil will still scream! ]

Wu Lei's mistake in front of the goal made the fans a little angry. After all, this was the best scoring opportunity so far in the game.

But to be honest, there is nothing we can do about this missed shot. After all, people always make mistakes. If you ask a Premier League player to deal with a ball that is right in front of him, he may not be able to kick it in!
"Go China!"

"Go China!"

Although the score was one goal behind, the fans at the scene were still very supportive.

According to the comments of two CCTV commentators, the Chinese Olympic team has achieved its goal of entering the knockout stage in this Olympics and even exceeded the target.

In this situation, there is no need to put too much pressure on the players, just play freely.

But Li Yi doesn't think so. His goal is to win an Olympic medal.

If they win this game, the Chinese Olympic team will at least get a silver medal.

But if they lose this game, the fate of the medal will be put in the unpredictable bronze medal match.

There are 2 games left, we must win one!
