Vol 5 Chapter 558: Cockfighting and wood***)

The slightly plain transitional stage was marked by Chen Tao's delivery of a high-quality ball behind him, Mao Jianqing's bottom pass, and Dong Fangzhuo's unsuccessful outflank in front of the goal, which became a thing of the past. The Chinese team's first shot occurred in the 33rd minute of the first half, finally making this game no longer a unilateral offense and defense, but a mutual offense and defense.
After a few minutes of falling back in the backcourt, the Chinese team realized that they could not attract the Spanish team to the most comfortable position of the Chinese team through this method. At the same time, everyone’s body was recovering quickly, so they slowly explored forward. Out of the tentacles.
Wang Ai and Chen Tao always maintained a one-to-one configuration. Chen Tao assisted and Wang Ai stayed in the middle circle to watch Harvey. When Wang Ai dribbled past Busquets in front of him and drove forward with the ball, Chen Tao would quickly retreat and stare at Iniesta, who was quietly infiltrating.
When the Chinese team gradually passed half of the game, the offensive and defensive situation on the field entered the third stage of the first half, and the opportunities for both sides increased day by day. In the 37th minute of the game, Wang Ai and Chen Tao suddenly made a rapid two-over-two match in the middle circle, and then stepped across the middle line together, which caused fluctuations in the Spanish formation.
Xavi went up, Busquets went up, Wang Ai rushed straight, Chen Tao pulled the side, Wang Ai squeezed Harvey sideways, and stepped into the middle zone between the midfielder and the defender that made the Spanish fans nervous.
At this time, Mao Jianqing was already close and ready to respond, and Dong Fangzhuo pulled the side on the other side, depending on how Wang Ai in the middle handled the ball. Facing Alonso approaching on the side, Wang Ai, who was running, passed to Mao Jianqing behind Alonso. Xiaomao took a step forward and kicked the ball directly back in front of Wang Ai, a simple wall-to-wall style two-by-one. , Wang Ai got the ball right in front of Pique.
However, at this time, Wang Ai only had one chance to handle the ball, and Pique and Puyol were not far apart. One after another, it meant that Wang Ai would have a hard time penetrating the two of them. If he passed Pique, he would be bound to be Puyol. Seoul intercepted. At the same time, Alonso, who turned around, has quickly approached, blocking the route of Wang Ai and Mao Jianqing's cooperation, but fortunately, Dong Fangzhuo on the other side has already activated.
So Wang Ai grabbed a pocket with his left foot before Pique tackled the ball, and the football passed Puyol's head and landed behind the Spanish defensive line.
Pique was turning, Puyol was turning, Wang Ai was rushing forward. Dong Fangzhuo, who realized the rare opportunity, took aim carefully while running, but was shoveled out of the bottom line by Ramos unexpectedly.
Wang Ai, who stopped after running past the penalty spot, let out a sigh and waited for the corner kick to begin. Just now, as long as Dong Fangzhuo's goal is almost the same, it is a pity that he wants to give it too much, and Ramos is the best defender in the world after all.
Chen Tao stayed in the backcourt to guard against the Spanish team's surprise attack. Zheng Zhi went to take the corner kick and sent a good quality, but unfortunately it was a bit low. He asked the brave Casillas to grab the goal line and jumped up and hugged him at the front point. This made Wang Ai, who had already done a good job in the middle, exhaled helplessly and waved his hands at Zheng Zhi. The two ran backwards at the same time, while Mao Jianqing was still surrounded by Casillas, looking forward to his "getting off".
Even if you don't let go, let him serve the goal kick slowly.
On the other side, the Spanish team’s opportunity came. Just after Xiao Mao saw that his teammates almost returned to their positions and left the goal, Casillas made a rare big kick, which was sent to the front in two Chinese teams. Villa's feet between the center defenders.
Villa did not dare to turn around forcibly, but stopped the ball in his chest and pushed his foot forward, giving Iniesta, Iniesta quickly went to the bottom, and immediately passed to Harvey in the face of the prudent Zhang Yonghai's lack of opportunity. Because Wang Ai was still coming back, Harvey, who had "regained his freedom", was extremely clear-headed, while Chen Tao had just rushed back from the position of assisting Iniesta, so Harvey’s iconic threat ball came out. After starting in Villa, he quickly went straight and sent to the door between Li Weifeng and Luo Tongliang.
Villa swiftly fired with both legs, Zong Lei, who attacked, fell down quickly, touched the football between the of the glove, the football changed its direction slightly, hit the goal post, but regrettably bounced and stepped over. The door line.
For a moment, the cheers of the Spanish fans actually suppressed the hustle and bustle of Vuvuzula.
When Harvey passed the threatening ball, Wang Ai was already less than three meters behind him, but... alas!
Zong Lei fished out the football from the door and threw it to Wang Ai. Wang Ai looked at Chen Tao and Mao Jianqing and others. He greeted Dong Fangzhuo to the midfield and waited for the free throw again. The Spaniards around him were still celebrating. Leah has been submerged under the "bodied body" of the Spanish players.
It was the 39th minute of the game, and the Chinese team did not urge. Dong Fangzhuo stepped on the ball: "Boss, how do you play? A sneak attack?"
Wang Ai thought for a while and shook his head: "Forget it, just stay steady. You can't give them a chance to show their vigor. You see how enthusiastic they celebrate? As for? Why? Because the game is hard, it's hard for them to get in. So, We must persist even more to make it difficult for them."
Dong Fangzhuo nodded as if he did not understand, Chen Tao said loudly from the side: "Wait for the midfielder to see what the high-level guide says."
After the kick-off, the inspired Spanish team really regained their enthusiasm, while the Chinese team retreated to the half-time, turning into a "let you play" deadly appearance, allowing everyone, including Spanish fans, Chinese fans, The Spanish team and Bosque were helpless.
Everyone knows that Xavi is the soul of the Spanish midfielder. Locking Xavi will abolish at least one third of the Spanish team's attack power, but how easy is it? Barcelona has dozens of games a year, who can lock Harvey?
Wang Ai did it. Harvey, who is 170 cm and 66 kg, faced Wang Ai who was 192 cm and 83 kg. He suffered too much in confrontation. However, Wang Ai practiced high-frequency running for many years. Once he switched to small strides, his stride frequency was better than him. It's fast, no matter how he dribbles or gets rid of it, he can't get rid of it. If he is not careful, Wang Ai will "stole" the ball.
In the face of the "emperor of China" who returned to the midfield and waited in full battle, Harvey lost his fighting spirit and became listless. The Spanish team saw the Chinese team look like this again. Although the attack continued, it was ineffective.
The two sides finally entered the intermission at 10:47 p.m. Beijing time.
"Director Zhang, what do you think of the first half?"
In the Beijing live broadcast room, Duan Xuan, who finally had the opportunity to speak, asked Zhang Lu.
Zhang Lu is not rare: "Although we are behind in the score, the two sides are similar. Everyone should have noticed that although the Spanish team had five shots in the first half, only one was a threat, and the others were all possible. No, this is enough to show that the Chinese team’s defense is effective. Many people are puzzled by the decision to transfer Xiao Wanger to the midfield. At least from this half of the time, the tactical vision has been realized."
