Chapter 151: Offensive and defensive...not weak

Hulay threatens Mexico's goal, and Mexico is not without a fight back.
After all, Mexico also has an excellent striker-Nuno Alvarez, who plays for the La Liga team Valentia.
Speaking of which, he and Hu Lai still have some grudges.
In this season's Europa League, it is the Mexican striker who currently ranks first in the scorer list. He scored a total of seven goals.
Hu Lai ranked third with five balls.
It can be said to be close behind.
At the beginning, Hulai scored five goals in just three Europa League matches. After approaching Alvarez on the scorer list, the media specifically mentioned this matter. While touting Hulai, Nuno Alvarez’s name is also mentioned.
So it is absolutely impossible to say that Alvarez has no feeling for Hulai.
This year's China Cup, for Alvarez, is a good opportunity, a chance to compete with Hu Lai.
As a forward, the way to compete is also very simple, to see who can score a goal better.
In this China Cup, Laski relied on one goal each in the semi-finals and three or four finals, temporarily topping the scorer list with two goals.
However, his game is over, whether he can hold the top scorer's throne depends on the performance of Hulay and Alvarez in this final.
Coincidentally, both of them scored a goal in the previous semifinals.
Whoever can score in the final will be able to catch up with Laski, and may even overtake and monopolize the honor of the Golden Boot.
Alvarez regards Hulay as an opponent that needs to be taken seriously, but he doesn't care much about the guards of the Chinese team.
In addition to Hu Lai, there is one person in the Chinese team he knows, and that is Zhang Qinghuan, who plays in Sarria.
By watching the highlights of the semi-final where the Chinese team defeated South Africa 4:1, it is easy to know that what this Chinese team is best at is offense, and they are better offensively than defensively.
After the start of the finals, this was also reflected. The offense of the Chinese team puts pressure on the Mexican defenders.
But the defense of the Chinese team...
The best scorer in the Europa League (currently) and Alvarez, who is the third best scorer in La Liga (currently), really doesn't take the Chinese team's three-backs into consideration.
Nuno Alvarez is not tall, with only 1.77 meters. The speed is actually not that fast, but he wins in his fine skills at his feet and has a good dribbling effort in the midfield. Many of his goals were scored after passing the defensive player.
It can be said that he and Hu Lai are completely two types of strikers.
Hulai needs the support of his teammates, and Alvarez's individual combat capability is very strong.
After he got the ball on the right, facing Chen Xingyi who was back on defense, he suddenly made an inside cut, and then used the first-mover advantage to get Chen Xingyi behind him, so that he didn't dare to make a second, and then took the football to the restricted area of ​​the Chinese team. Kill it.
Chen Xingyi can't stay with him all the time, because he has to double as a full-back in defense, and Mexico's right-back is on the side at this time, so Chen Xingyi can only follow back to the defense.
The task of midfield defense was handed over to Gao Ruimin.
Gao Ruimin replaced Jiang Wanqing in the starting game. This is also the first time he started for the national team after his injury in the World Cup-in the last China Cup semi-final, he came off the bench in the last ten minutes.
Before the injury, Gao Ruimin was the main midfielder of Shi Wuyin's national team. After all, he started from the National Youth Team to the Olympic team. He was also the main force in the capital Tamron. Shi Wuyin was very familiar with him.
His characteristic is balance.
Whether it is physical fitness, confrontation ability, interception ability, and man-marking ability, there is no obvious shortcoming. Of course, none of these abilities are particularly outstanding.
He is 1.85 meters tall and can head the ball. Although his body is not too strong, his core strength is not bad. At the same time, because his body is not very strong, he is agile and not clumsy. Physical fitness is good and can run.
Fortunately, the injuries suffered in the World Cup did not have a big impact on his career, so after patient recovery, Gao Ruimin is now the main force in the club and is able to return to the national team.
In fact, equilibrium is sometimes said to be ugly, but it is mediocre.
Indeed, as a national footballer, Gao Ruimin's ability in the midfielder position is not particularly outstanding. Compared with his teammates in the midfield, he is not excellent.
But in today's Chinese football, aside from the increasing age of Jiang Wanqing, Gao Ruimin is an important candidate for this position and cannot be avoided.
After all, he is a purely defensive midfielder, and his defensive ability is still guaranteed.
Dillon's 352 has high requirements for midfield defense, so he arranged two different starting midfielders for these two games, just to see who is more suitable for the current national team.
Jiang Wanqing's rich experience is the biggest advantage, and his age is the biggest disadvantage. He is thirty-four years old and his physical functions have completely degraded. Sometimes defense can only rely on experience, not body.
Gao Ruiminsheng is young.
But whether it is Jiang Wanqing or Gao Ruimin, facing opponents of Alvarez's level, they are still somewhat powerless...
Gao Ruimin retreated from the midfield to the penalty area and saw Alvarez dribbling the ball across, and he greeted him.
Facing Alvarez, he lowered his focus and stood ready.
But still Alvarez used a faster pace and pace to sway the center of gravity...
"Alvarez...fake action! Dangerous!"
After Gao Ruimin was passed by, the commentary booth and the stand exclaimed at the same time.
"Fuck!" Gao Ruimin, who was passed away, cursed and caught up again.
Alvarez is already facing the back line of the Chinese team and lacks midfield protection. The central defender Mao Jun is directly facing the opposing forward... Gao Ruimin knows that this is basically the "most dangerous time".
He must re-post it to interfere with the opponent, and cooperate with Mao Junzheng to complete the defense.
Alvarez ignored Gao Ruimin's chase and faced the Chinese defender who came up to defend him. He also used the change of rhythm under his feet to cause Mao Jun to pause. He had no intention of calculating, and slammed the football to the left, then slashed into the penalty area!
At this time, Mao Jun wanted to start kicking the ground and chasing him. It was too late, and the distance from Alvarez was pulled to a certain position in an instant...
"careful!"
After Alvarez broke into the penalty area, he began to adjust his pace, apparently intending to catch up with the football and shoot directly!
Goalkeeper Halde chased him to block his shooting angle.
When he saw Alvarez raised his leg high and drew towards the football ground, he fell to the ground and flopped sideways!
But Alvarez was just a fake action. His landing foot didn't hit the football, just a flick of a shot behind the ball!
Hao De has been shaken to the ground...
At this time, Alvarez started to shoot again!
Just as he shot the goal, someone rushed over from the side and shoveled directly!
The football shot by Alvarez was blocked by his foot, deflected and flew out of the bottom line!
"Hoo-!" Only then did the Chinese fans in the stands exhale and were released by the nervous mood just now.
"Wang Guangwei has done something!" He Feng shouted excitedly. "He made the most critical defense at the most critical time!"
Alvarez didn't expect his series of wonderful performances to fail. He turned his head to look at Wang Guangwei who was up from the ground with wide eyes.
The slow motion of the offense and defense was also replayed during the game broadcast. Through the replay of the footage, everyone can see that when Alvarez broke through Mao Junzheng, Wang Guangwei had already killed him from the other side. He actually followed Alvarez's running route to move laterally.
It's just that he didn't make any pause, even if he saw Alvarez single-handedly beat Mao Junzheng, he didn't stop, but ran straight behind.
It's as if he knew Alvarez would definitely break through there.
So in the end he really let him catch up...
During the whole process, if he hesitated to delay a little time, he might not be able to block Alvarez's shot!
Hao De, who stood up from the ground, patted Wang Guangwei's shoulder vigorously, thanking him for his "life-saving grace".
"Since replacing the injured main central defender Altobelli's outstanding performance on the bench, Wang Guangwei now has a firm foothold in Eldrea's main lineup. Although his chances of playing in Eldrea were not good before. Many, but his training attitude is impeccable and he has made significant progress. The opportunity is reserved for those who are prepared. Wang Guangwei is such a person! This defense fully reflects his calmness and courage!"
He Feng was full of praise for Wang Guangwei.
Compared with the offense, the Chinese team's defense is indeed not eye-catching, and it can even be said that it has always been the object of criticism, especially the Asian Cup.
Now he is very happy to see that Wang Guangwei is growing up rapidly.
I believe that after Lin Zhiyuan completely recovers from injury, the Chinese team's defense line should not be as embarrassed as before...
※※※
"Wang team cattle batch!!"
"The king's eternal god!"
"Sure enough, we still rely on our king team at the critical moment!"
Wu Yue and his Jiaxiang High School football teammates jumped up from their seats and shouted.
Then someone asked Wu Yue: "Wu Team, the group of Dongchuan Middle School really brought our banners in, right?"
Wu Yue nodded: "I brought it in. I specially ran outside the province to wait and hand over the things to them... Don't worry, everyone should pay attention. Maybe you will see our banner on the stand lens in a while. Woolen cloth!"
When he said that, the other members of the former Jiaxiang High School football team were all staring at the TV screen, for fear of missing the critical moment when they saw their banners.
At this moment, Mexico took a corner kick, but it did not threaten the Chinese team's goal.
Because Wang Guangwei jumped up in front of everyone and pushed the football out!
"It's Wang Guangwei again! Beautiful header to make a clearance!"
The football he pushed out fell outside the penalty area, and Hulay and Mexican midfielder Jonathan Hernandez jumped up to compete for the top spot.
Although he didn't hit the ball, he effectively interfered with Hernandez's header and made the latter's header to the Chinese team's penalty area, but it was soft and weak. Zhang Qinghuan used his chest to remove it and then moved to the side. , To Chen Xingyi who was running out of the restricted area!
"The Chinese team's counterattack!"
There was a lot of cheers in the stands.
Chen Xingyi drove forward with the ball!
The Mexican players hurriedly returned to defense.
Hu Lai turned and ran forward after the header contention was over. At that time, Zhang Qinghuan hadn't even received the ball...
Chen Xingyi was quickly intercepted by the Mexican full-back Sousa Nascimento who was behind.
So he slowed down, then kicked the football in the middle and passed it to Hu Lai who was running in the middle.
At this time, because the Chinese team's counterattack speed was so fast, Hu Lai turned out to be the Chinese team player who rushed to the forefront~EbookFREE.me~ There was no teammate around him who could cooperate with him!
Seeing that the Mexican players who were returning to defense were overjoyed-the Chinese team's offense was slowing down, which just gave them time to return to defense!
Rolando Perez, another Mexican full-back who was originally left behind, fought and retreated. He was not in a hurry to grab the ball at Hulai’s feet. His main task is now to entangle Hulai and help his teammates return. Guard against buying time.
Anyway, Hu Lai is not good at dribbling and breaking through. Even if you give him space, he will not be able to play.
Hulai, who dribbled forward, noticed Perez's coping strategy and had to say...it was indeed a reasonable response. Hu Lai even bet that as long as he does not enter the restricted area, it is estimated that Perez will be able to drag on forever.
But who said I wouldn’t be threatened if I didn’t enter the restricted area?
Feeling the threat of Hernandez coming back after he came, Hulay gently moved the football forward, looking no different from the dribble just now.
But then, he stretched his right leg and drew a football!
At a distance of about thirty meters from the goal... a long shot!
"Hu Lai shot directly...Huh?"
When He Feng was still surprised by Hu Lai's sudden long shot, he saw the football go straight through the 30-meter pitch and then... plunged into the goal of Mexico.
Although the Mexican goalkeeper Manlix rose into the air, he was only 1.79 meters tall, even if he stretched out in the air, he did not touch the ball!
Because he didn't expect Hu Lai to shoot from such a distance!
"Beautiful!!! Beautiful!!! Hu Lai! Beautiful!!!"
Yan Kang around He Feng shouted hoarsely, as if to compete with the cheers over the Provincial Sports Center!
