Chapter 66: Lucky Embro

The intensity of football matches is often reflected in the changes in offense and defense between the two sides. Nang

For example, in this game, after the Chinese team suppressed the lead in the first half, the Swiss team immediately fought back in the second half.

Switzerland's overall strength is still very strong. If they hadn't had problems in the early stage of the first half, which led to the continuous fermentation of the problems and eventually spread to other areas, they would not have been so passive.

But it also shows that the Chinese team used a reasonable way to tilt the rhythm of the first half to their side.

However, after entering the second half, Switzerland experienced midfield adjustments, restored clear tactics, and no longer seemed so anxious as a whole.

Moreover, after taking the lead in the first half, the Chinese team as a whole also tended to be defensive. Under comprehensive circumstances, the Swiss team had to play more easily.

For the Chinese team, it is impossible to attack every minute of the 90 minutes, and they would be exhausted.

In the process of defense, it is also necessary to slow down the rhythm and get more rest time. Nang

But the lagging Swiss team obviously didn't think so.

Shaqiri, who was almost exhausted in the first half, began to gradually show his performance.

After moving away from the position where Lekai was defending, Shaqiri, although he was on the right side, which he was not particularly familiar with, still used breakthroughs and dribbling on the left wing to advance for the team.

On the right wing, Embolo, who had been scolded by the coach, also understood how he should play.

Embolo's ability is not bad, especially in terms of physical strength and speed.

Although these still cannot directly threaten Lekai, he can use the pass to slowly resolve it and suddenly start at the right time.

What Embolo needs to do is to pin Lekai firmly on the right wing, leaving him no time to take care of other positions.

And once Lekai is away from the right wing, Switzerland will also use the way of kicking the ball behind to fully stimulate Embolo's speed.

Embolo's body cannot resist Lekai, but it does not mean that he cannot resist other Chinese players.

For this reason, after entering the second half, Embolo figured it out and played smoothly.

"Switzerland's play became clearer. They no longer passed the ball forward blindly like in the first half. Each of their passes was very purposeful. The left and right wings gradually opened up gaps, and center forward Delmic was finally able to touch the ball."

At this time, Lekai was standing in the middle. When Embolo saw Lekai's position, he immediately raised his hand to ask for the ball.

Dzemaili also saw the gap on the right wing, and he immediately made a pass.

The ball passed Lekai in a small arc and flew towards Embolo.

This ball was not kicked behind him, mainly because there was no space behind the full-back Fan Yi.

But it also proved that Embolo would not be disturbed in the stop phase.

But surprisingly, at the moment when Dzemaili kicked, Lekai turned and sprinted.

His choice was extremely decisive. Almost at the moment when Embolo stopped the ball, Lekai had already reached the two-meter defense area.

Embolo was panicked when he saw Lekai suddenly appear.

He subconsciously raised his thigh, his foot straightened, trying to stop the ball with the outside of his foot.

But because his body was too stiff, the ball didn't stop properly, but hit the instep and flew past Lekai's side. Nang

"Mistake in stopping the ball?"

As soon as He Wei finished speaking, he saw the ball pass Lekai's side and come in front of the advancing Dzemaili.

This was an unexpected two-on-one.

Dzemaili was also stunned when he saw the pass.

He didn't think Embello could pass such a good ball, but the ball had already come.

Dzemaili immediately stretched out his foot and stopped the ball.

At this time, Juber, Delmic, and Shaqiri were all on a parallel line, pressing forward together. Nang

"Oh no! This ball is dangerous!!"

He Wei exclaimed.

The Swiss commentator shouted excitedly; "Opportunity!! Opportunity!! How will Dzemaili deal with it?"

Dzemaili passed the ball to Shaqiri at the far end, who caught up with the ball, ran an arc, and immediately swept it after seeing the position in the middle.

The ball flew directly to the goal.

In the chaos, Liu Kairui wanted to tackle the ball, but his action was a little slower and failed to prevent the pass from penetrating.

When he turned his head, Delmic had already stretched out his right foot and easily pushed the ball into the net in the lower right corner.

In the second half, in the 61st minute, Switzerland equalized the score.

"Delmic, he became a hero of Switzerland! A precious goal!! Oh my God! This opportunity is simply great!"

"We equalized the score, and the Swiss boys turned the situation around with a determined attitude!"

The Swiss commentator shouted excitedly.

After the suppression in the first half, they really needed an outlet.

And this goal was a good opportunity to vent.

The Swiss fans at the scene also cheered. Nang

The goal came very suddenly, but it also made them feel extremely comfortable.

The most important thing is that the score was finally tied.

The Swiss players were celebrating.

The Chinese players were a little annoyed.

"Captain, my problem."

Fan Yi took the initiative to run over and said.

If he could get into position quickly on that ball just now, he would not be penetrated. Nang

Lekai's expression was quite depressed.

He clearly knew that Embello wanted to stop the ball just now, but he didn't stop it well, and it became a second pass by mistake.

Lekai never thought that the ability of "foresight" on which he relied for survival would be shaken by this ability one day.

I'm not afraid that he stops well, I'm afraid that he doesn't stop well.

Lekai was also quite depressed.

However, he still comforted Fan Yi softly, saying that this was not his problem, and at the same time told him to do more to grab the ball.

At the same time, Embolo on the other side was praised by his teammates. Nang

"That ball just now was great!"

"How did you think of passing it!"

"Did you see my running position? Great!"

In the praise of his teammates, Embolo gradually lost himself. At this time, he said that he stopped the ball too far just now, which was an accident.

He accepted the praise very calmly, and at the same time attributed it to his own merits with peace of mind.

Of course, this is indeed his merit, even though it was a fluke, but it's the same.

After tying the score, the Swiss team as a whole seemed much more relaxed.

At least the feeling of being suppressed in the first half disappeared.

After the score returned to the starting point, both sides had a chance to win.

And Rushi's morale was boosted by this goal.

Two minutes later.

Bang! !

Lekai's powerful long-range shot almost penetrated the Swiss goal.

This long-range shot was powerful. If goalkeeper Sommer had not been standing close to the right and the space on Lekai's left was almost blocked, Lekai would have been fully capable of kicking the ball to the upper right corner. Nang

However, the ball was still saved by Sommer.

But even so, this ball still made the Swiss team, which had been morale-boosted before, feel a little terrified.

Lekai's long-range shooting ability has always been a huge threat.

During the World Cup, Lekai also defeated Mexico with a set-piece.

It can be said that Lekai is also very dangerous outside the penalty area.

And now, Lekai put the opponent under great pressure through this shot.

"Come up! Go for the header!" Nang

After Lekai finished the shot, he began to shake people to compete for the header.

One by one, the Chinese boys came forward with their hands rubbed.

They are no longer the rookies at the beginning of the World Cup.

After three big battles, especially the match against Germany, their state and confidence have been greatly improved.

Switzerland is a European team, but so what?

As long as they perform well enough, there is hope of winning.

For this reason, the Chinese players are very proactive in the process of competing for the header.

Even Liu Kairui ran up to compete for the header.

This guy shouted in a loud voice; "Make way for me, watch me hit the ball into the Swiss goal!"

"Go up! Get him!"

Before the corner kick came out, the two sides had a fierce physical confrontation.

And when the corner kick began to come out, the entire penalty area was suddenly overturned, like a large wrestling scene.

Liu Kairui even grabbed the opponent's jersey, from behind to in front, and directly knocked the Swiss player unconscious.

Of course, this move was also called a foul by the referee.

It was just a verbal warning, and no card was given.

When retreating, Liu Kairui cursed:

"Put pressure on me according to this standard, what was the previous play?"

As Atletico's iron guard, Liu Kairui knows how to put defensive pressure on the opponent.
