Chapter 177 Strange Feelings

Chapter 177 Strange Feelings

The enchanting night shrouded the city of Xi'an. People who had worked all day were returning home one after another. There were noisy voices alternately in the streets and alleys.

The busiest place tonight must be the current Pagoda Stadium. As the home court of the Football Super League team Qinyuan Pagoda, it hosted the latest round of World Cup qualifiers.

The game lasted for more than ten minutes, and the enthusiasm of the fans remained undiminished. The Chinese team was gaining momentum and launched a fierce attack on the Saudi team.

However, after Midou's unintentional injury, one of the central defenders of the Saudi team became a bit more aggressive towards him.

Midu's foot hit the goalkeeper's shovel and did not cause serious injuries to the goalkeeper. The referee later showed him a yellow card to warn him, but the central defender may have held his breath and wanted to vent his anger for his teammates.

The referee didn't pay much attention to his actions, but only gave several warnings. He didn't think the player committed a malicious foul.

This also caused Midu, the middle fulcrum, to not play a big role, and the small strategy of splitting sides from him was removed.

The Chinese team is now more likely to use sideways cooperation to seek opportunities. A midfielder plus a winger and a full-back form a small triangle on the sideways.

In the 27th minute of the game, Xu Wenli brought the ball to the right side of the front court, where he formed such a triangle position with Kong Pengyu and Zheng Yubao.

The ball was first received by Kong Pengyu, who moved in from the wing, Xu Wenli moved forward, and Zheng Yubao went to the position where Kong Pengyu had just been.

The three kept their triangular position unchanged, and the Saudi team's defense seemed to be very successful at this time. They were not disturbed by their crossovers, and they stared at each other.

Kong Pengyu passed the ball forward, allowing Xu Wenli to take the ball again, and the positions of the three immediately changed again.

Just now their positions may have been an acute triangle, but now they have changed into an obtuse triangle.Xu Wenli moved to the side with the ball, Zheng Yubao maintained his position, and Kong Pengyu took a few steps forward.

Xu Wenli chose to pass the ball deeper this time, sticking to the sideline and stuffing the ball towards the bottom line, allowing Kong Pengyu to catch the ball.

Kong Pengyu took the ball unhurriedly, and the opponent's defensive player followed behind him. He was not in a hurry to break through and passed the ball again.

This time the pass was closer to the bottom line. Kong Pengyu controlled his strength very little, and slanted towards the bottom line. Xu Wenli, who followed, kicked the ball and swept the ball towards the goal. After a series of cooperation, they sent a good cross. .

Mi Du jumped up, and the opponent made obvious moves against him. When he jumped up, he elbowed his abdomen, but Mi Du still hit the ball brilliantly.

Because of the interference of Midu, the ball only hit the position very well, but it didn't hit the strength and was hugged by the goalkeeper.

After landing, Mi Du bowed his waist, covered his stomach with his hands, and exhaled in pain to relieve the discomfort of being pressed against his abdomen.

He reached out to signal to the referee, complaining about the small action of the central defender, but the referee just stepped back and signaled the Saudi goalkeeper to kick-off.

"Referee, referee, does that count as a foul?" Di Xiaoliang also went to protest to the referee, but the referee ignored it.

"Don't be impulsive!" As an assistant coach, Zhong Weiguo has a fiery temper, and angrily complained to the fourth official on the sidelines, Cheng Youcheng quickly stopped him.

Fans booed overwhelmingly from the stands. If the referee knew Chinese, he would know the meaning of the word "black whistle" resounding through the stadium.

In the 36th minute of the game, the Saudi team launched a wave of offense. The source was that Midu was intercepted by the opponent's central defender. It may be the reason why the opponent has been interfering. He was not very calm when he dribbled the ball.

The No. 8 defensive midfielder of the Saudi team made a second pass and sent it to the No. 17 midfielder in the frontcourt, which increased the speed of the counterattack.

The players of the Chinese team returned to the defense immediately, the four defenders were all in place, and the midfielders also hurried back to participate in the defense.

No. 17 wanted to go to the penalty area in the middle, but Mu Dingyong did not lose his defensive position, and his one-on-one defense ability was very good.

In desperation, he immediately passed the ball to the right to No. 11 on the right.

No. 11 took the ball to seek breakthrough opportunities. He was defended by the excellent left back Liu Rong. This player who played in Serie A was able to keep up with him when defending him, regardless of the frequency or speed of his feet.

There was no hope of breaking through, so he simply sent a 45° diagonal cross from the side, directly looking for his own No. 10 single striker.

No. 10 watched the ball coming, glanced at the direction of the goal, and made a standard take-off and shake his head to attack the goal.

But the No. 5 central defender Battelle of the Chinese team would not let him finish the goal so easily, and at the same time jumped up to compete with him for the header.

Battelle has obvious advantages in height and body. The Saudi team's No. 10 collided with him as if hitting a wall. The ball was pushed out of the penalty area by Battelle.

The Saudi team's counterattack was like a rainbow, but the final effect was not threatening.

In the 43rd minute of the game, the violent attack in the first half was always fruitless. This situation is not what everyone wants to see.

The Saudi team's defensive formation stood very far back, and Mu Dingyong, as a defensive midfielder, was able to bring the ball to the front of the penalty area without being disturbed.

He wanted to take a shot directly, but Di Xiaoliang kept reminding him to move the ball to both sides, which made him lose his confidence in long-range shots.

The reminder of the "old captain" finally worked, and Mu Dingyong passed the ball to Kong Pengyu on the wing.

There was not much time left in the first half. As soon as Kong Pengyu received the ball, the defensive focus of the entire Saudi team turned to the right.

First, he took it forward, but he has noticed that if he follows this position and breaks through the sideline behind, it will be easily destroyed by the opponent's defense.

Then, he made a fake fax button, cut the ball from the right side, and headed towards the front of the penalty area.

The Saudi team's defense is very layered. The defensive players near the penalty area have been putting pressure on Kong Pengyu, leaving him no space to shoot and forcing him to stay away from the penalty area.

When he was about to reach the top of the arc in the penalty area, Kong Pengyu suddenly rubbed the ball up and lobbed it to the left.

He has used this similar pass many times. When he failed to cut inside, he passed the ball to his teammate on the left.

Yu Mai speeded up to chase the ball. He was still behind a defensive player of the Saudi team and overtook him when the ball passed by Kong Pengyu landed.

The ball was no longer easy to pass, especially since the passing path in the inverted triangle area was tightly sealed, so Yu Mai simply shot a zero-degree burst with his feet!

"Bang!" The ball hit the goal post again!

This time, the position where Yu Mai hit the goal post was extremely close to the position where Mi Du's shot hit before, and they were both on the top of the left goal post.

"What's wrong!" Cheng Youcheng sighed as he touched his head when he saw a goal that was close at hand was escorted out by the goal post.

The first half of the game is coming to an end. If you don't look at the goals, the first half of the Chinese team is perfect.

The offense is orderly and the defense is solid, but it is impossible to score.

Isn't luck on our side?The pessimistic fans already had strange thoughts in their hearts.
