I am the Coach of the National Youth Team - Chapter 478
c478 Optimism
The Huaxia fans at the scene sighed regretfully, and everyone regretted the ball.
Everyone could see that if Cai Jian passed, it would probably be a goal.
But Ruben Dias’ foul eliminated this possibility.
The Portuguese fans at the scene wiped off the cold sweat. Ruben Dias’ yellow card was so worth it.
The Huaxia team won a free kick in a good position, and the Portuguese team knew that they could not relax their vigilance.
Because Wei Jiafeng of the Huaxia team is very strong in set kicks.
Goalkeeper Patricio carefully arranged the human wall, not daring to relax in the slightest.
At this moment, Bai Yi and Wei Jiafeng were standing in front of the football, and the two of them were whispering to each other.
But everyone at the scene knew that there was a high probability that Wei Jiafeng would take the penalty.
At this time, Wei Jiafeng started to retreat, and then kicked the football with a run-up.
Goalkeeper Patricio is very focused, but Wei Jiafeng is not playing.
Patricio thought that Wei Jiafeng would definitely hit the goal.
Although he didn’t make a save, his body couldn’t help shaking.
correct! Wei Jiafeng gave the ball to Bai Yi!
Because of Wei Jiafeng’s existence, not only Huaxia fans, but also foreigners only know about Wei Jiafeng’s set-pieces.
Everyone has ignored that, in fact, the Huaxia team has several players with excellent positioning ability.
And Bai Yi was one of them, before Li Long dug Wei Jiafeng.
In fact, Bai Yi was the number one shooter at the time, and with the rise of Wei Jiafeng.
Bai Yi slowly gave up this position and became the team’s second penalty shooter.
Bai Yi kicked the football with his right foot, and the football flew towards the goal.
But this shot is a bit high, and the ball speed is not very fast.
However, when the football flew towards the goal, it suddenly fell.
Bai Yi actually made an elevator kick, which startled Patricio.
He quickly flew to save, but the angle of the penalty was very tricky.
The football went straight to the dead corner of the goal, but he didn’t catch the football.
At this moment, Patricio panicked, he had to know that the game had just started.
If the Huaxia team scored a goal, it would undoubtedly be a huge blow to the Portuguese team.
Just when he thought the ball had been scored, he only heard a “Dang”.
The football hit the upper crossbar and then bounced off the baseline.
“Wow! Bai Yi’s set ball is of very high quality!” He Wei exclaimed.
“It’s a pity that we are only a little short of scoring goals.”
“It’s a pity that the football hit the crossbar.”
“I believe most people think that this ball must be taken by Wei Jiafeng.” Yang Chen continued to explain.
“Actually, I thought so too, but I didn’t expect Bai Yi to take the penalty.”
Seeing the football hitting the crossbar, Bai Yi stood there with an embarrassed expression on his face.
The game continued, after all, it was the semi-finals.
No one wants to lose the game, even though the Huaxia team is an Asian team.
But everyone knows that the current Huaxia team is a strong team.
What’s more, the Huaxia team defeated the favorites Brazil and France one after another.
Therefore, the Portuguese team did not dare to underestimate the Huaxia team. Both sides played relatively conservatively.
Both teams are worried and will lose the game because of this.
The two sides tried each other, but neither of them hit the door.
But Portugal’s frontcourt is still strong after all.
It was pressed outside the Huaxia team’s penalty area several times, putting a lot of pressure on the Huaxia team.
Before you know it, 20 minutes have passed, and neither side has a threatening attack.
The Portuguese team occupies more ball possessions. In fact, the Huaxia team’s midfielder is also very strong.
But because Li Long prefers a 4-4-2 formation, he suffers a disadvantage in ball possession against the strong Huaxia team.
At this time, the Huaxia team controlled the football, and Zhang Yuan made a long pass.
A pass was made to Zhang Ran on the right, and Joao Felix defended him.
He hoped to grab the football, but Zhang Ran faced the passing football.
Instead of choosing to stop the ball, he lifted his right foot.
With the outer instep of your right foot, kick toward the football.
Pass the football forward, wanting to find Qin Lunhao, the right winger.
This pass was very unexpected, Qin Lunhao faced the flying football.
Start by lifting your right leg and pointing your knee towards the football.
Then he unloaded the football, then turned around and rushed forward with it.
Because the previous two passes were too sudden, they were all very decisive.
Guerrero, who was facing up, did not follow up immediately. Indeed, the pass was too sudden.
But soon he rushed towards Qin Lunhao, hoping to catch up with Qin Lunhao.
At the same time, Felix was also chasing behind him, and Qin Lunhao was caught in a double-team for a while.
Qin Lunhao knew that he couldn’t be tough now, so he stopped suddenly and half turned around.
But because of inertia, Felix directly passed Qin Lunhao.
Qin Lunhao made an emergency stop and gave way to the double team.
The football then flew into the penalty area, but the position of the teammates in the penalty area was not very good.
Domingos Duarte in the penalty area, near the point.
He quickly cleared the football, but he didn’t clear it well.
This kick was a little kicking, and suddenly Cao Haoyi rushed over.
The football actually hit him in the chest, Cao Haoyi tapped the football away.
Then he took the ball to the bottom line on the right side of the goal and ran, and then he quickly turned to the small penalty area.
Then an inverted triangle pass passed the football to the outside of the small penalty area.
Suddenly a figure rushed towards the football.
He is striker Cai Jian, and Cai Jian pushes directly towards the rolling football.
It was difficult to save a shot from this distance, but Portugal’s goalkeeper Patricio reacted quickly.
Moreover, Cai Jian’s push shot did not hit an angle.
Patricio bent down and unexpectedly touched the football.
Just when everyone thought that the Huaxia team’s offense was over.
But Patricio just touched the football and didn’t hug it.
The football flew towards Cai Jian again, and Cai Jian was frustrated because his kick was thrown.
Unexpectedly, pie fell from the sky.
The football flew towards him again, and how could he let it go this time.
I saw him kicking the football again, and Patricio really had no choice but to hit the goal.
The football flew directly into the goal!
The Huaxia team leads the Portuguese team 1-0!
After scoring the goal, Cai Jian rushed to the sidelines.
After coming to the sidelines, he looked at the auditorium with a very arrogant expression on his face.
I saw him raise his arms, then palms down.
Then make a downward movement, as if telling everyone.
This is just a routine operation, and there is no need to cheer for him.
But the audience on the sidelines couldn’t hide their excitement at all.
Cheers erupted from a distance, as if they were about to overturn the stadium.
