Chapter 382 Football Match (3)
At this time, the game only took ten minutes, and the Time Traveler took the lead in breaking the British team's goal and gained a lead.
This suddenly triggered the Chinese people in the audience, and immediately cheered enthusiastically. The gongs and drummers who were a little depressed on the court immediately became energetic, and beat the gongs and drums to the sky. The lions and dragon dances also danced happily in the gongs and drums, cheering for the time travelers. The foreigners were dejected and no longer had the momentum they had when the competition started.
On the VIP stage, after Huang Taisong scored, Qin Zheng and Li Sanjie shouted "good ball" excitedly, and stood up from the seat. Qin Zheng clenched his fists and waved them hard. Although the two of them had been sitting firmly, they were actually a little anxious. Although both of them believed that time travelers with modern football experience and technical and tactical ideas were definitely stronger than the British team in terms of strength, football was a very accidental sport. Since it was in the history of the old time and space, it was common for weak teams to defeat strong teams and teams with lagging behind styles to defeat advanced teams. Therefore, it was not until Huang Taisong scored that the two of them were completely relieved.
Others such as Yu Lianyuan, Zhang Peilun and others were smiling and celebrating each other. Although Li Hongzhang was still calm and could not sit steadily, his face still had a smile. However, the consuls and officials of the Ministry of Industry of various countries were a little unfavorable. Although the competition was played, it represented all foreign countries in Shanghai. If they lost this game, it would be a big loss of face. However, before the game, Huo Bilan repeatedly assured everyone that Britain would definitely win, so everyone did not oppose that Britain would represent other countries. But now overseas Chinese have actually won first, and many people could not sit still.
Because he was an official from the Ministry of Industry and Economic Affairs Bureau, he originally thought it was an ordinary football match, but Huo Bilan strongly advocated that he should use this match to attack the spirit of Chinese in the concession, so he actively cooperated with Huo Bilan and tried his best to exaggerate the game, which made him a symbol of wrestling with foreigners. However, the current situation has not been based on Huo Bilan's script. If he lost this game, it would not be a loss of face for the Ministry of Industry and Economic Affairs Bureau. It would inevitably make the Chinese in the Concession more energetic and national sentiment improve. According to Britain's century of colonial experience, the national sentiment in the colonies has risen, but it is a very dangerous thing, and it may cause a big mess.
Huo Bilan was also a little panicked at this time. After all, if Britain loses this game, Huo Bilan will undoubtedly become the biggest loser. But now Huo Bilan has no way out. He can only believe that Martinez and his players can save the game. Of course, Huo Bilan has not given up his confidence now, because football in this era is not the concept of "1:o is perfect football" in the old time and space. The goal rate is very high, and it is common to score 5 or 6 goals in a game. Therefore, conceding the ball at the beginning does not mean losing. So Huo Bilan still calmly said: "Please don't panic, I believe that this conceding is just an accident. The game has just started, and we will catch up the score soon. Please watch patiently."
After hearing Huo Bilan's words, the others then avoided the force of controlling their situation and put their attention back on the court.
At this time, the game started again, and the British team re-departed the ball in the midfield. Because they lost one goal first, the British players seemed a little anxious. After the ball was taken, before their own players were in place, the defender drove the ball to the frontcourt with one foot, and only one forward broke into the opponent's penalty area and fought to fall.
The players of the Time Traveler had already entered the game state at this time. Goalkeeper Chen Hengfei attacked, jumped a little from the edge of the penalty area, caught the ball steadily, and then immediately threw the ball with a strong hand, throwing the ball to Jiang Hongtao, who was behind the back near the center circle, and quickly counterattacked.
After Jiang Hongtao got the ball, he made a slight adjustment and immediately passed the ball to Wang Xiaopeng, allowing the latter to easily cross the midfield and quickly completed the offensive and defensive transition. However, Britain still left four defenders in the backcourt to defend, and the Time Traveler's offensive and defensive transition was too fast. Many players had not yet had time to attack the midfield. Only Huang Taisong, Xie Mingfeng, Tang Quling and Wang Xiaoyu participated in this attack. Therefore, the Time Traveler's counterattack did not create an advantage of more and less.
Wang Xiaoyu dribbled the ball along the left and quickly advanced to the front of the opponent's penalty area. Huang Taisong immediately ran to the right and pulled the side, and two British defenders rushed to intercept. Wang Xiaoyu immediately pushed the ball straight behind the British defender. While he was passing the ball, Tang Qufei had started. After the ball was passed, Tang Qufei had crossed the British defender and drove the ball to the bottom line of the British team. When the British defender turned around and chased, he was thrown by Tang Qufei 7 or 8 meters away.
The remaining two defenders hurried over to fill the spot. Tang Qufei made a cross about 6 or 7 meters away from the baseline. The ball crossed a straight line almost parallel to the British goal. However, Xie Mingfeng and Huang Taisong were one step late and did not touch the ball, which also made the Chinese in the audience sigh and regret the attack of overseas Chinese.
However, the attack was not over. When the ball rolled to the right, the right forward Chen Zhuowei had arrived and controlled the ball when the ball was about to go out of the sideline. After making some adjustments, Chen Zhuowei dribbled the ball into the right and inserted into the penalty area diagonally. However, at this time, the two British defenders and goalkeeper Hilton had reacted and caught up to intercept. However, Chen Zhuowei hesitated for a moment and did not pass the ball in time. Instead, he suddenly added the bottom, throwing the British defender away from the catch-up and shooting from the right corner of the goal area.
However, because Chen Zhuowei's shooting angle was too small, goalkeeper Hilton had already been in place, blocked the angle, and made a side pass, getting the ball. Several British defenders were relieved. To be honest, the Crossman just fired his left and right, stirring the British team's defense line up in a mess, and almost scored another goal.
Hilton stood up from the ground. This time he did not directly drive the ball with his big feet, but threw the ball to defender Taylor with his hand. Because the accurate head of the big feet directly from the penalty area was too poor, and sometimes he didn't even know where he would kick the ball. And after more than ten minutes of competition, the British team had already understood that although the opponent's height was not as tall as him, his strength was not bad, so Hilton did not dare to be careless anymore. He hoped that Taylor would drive the ball to the near midfield and then pass the ball with his big feet. In this way, long passes in the halftime, the accurate head would be much higher.
However, Taylor only dribbled the ball a few meters, and Huang Taisong caught up and blocked Taylor. However, Huang Taisong did not rob, but only blocked Taylor's route to advance and send a big foot ball forward. Taylor had no choice but to bring the ball to another defender near the left line.
Just when Horton was receiving the ball, Xie Mingfeng suddenly started to grab the ball. Horton was in a hurry to defend, but the ball was stabbed by Xie Mingfeng before it could stop. Tang Qufeixun from behind inserted it, controlled the ball, and advanced high into the penalty area.
Although a British defender came up to intercept him at this time, Tang Qufei stopped immediately and threw the defender away. Then he drove the ball in the penalty area and took two steps. After adjusting his steps, he pulled his feet and shot angrily. The ball flew to the far corner of the goal.
Fortunately, Cynon's position was not too far off at this time, so he immediately jumped up, stretched out one hand to block the ball, and finally tried to ensure that the goal was not lost. However, after the ball hitter, he bounced towards the outside of the penalty area, and Wang Xiaoyu, who was guarding the penalty area, immediately caught up and controlled the ball. Fortunately, the two British defenders, Horton and Taylor, also caught up with the interception at the first time. Wang Xiaoyu had no time to adjust and immediately shot directly, but the ball was not controlled well, and the ball was higher than the crossbar of the goal and flew out of the baseline.
During this period, the Time Travelers formed a siege against the British team's goal and formed a continuous attack. However, the British goalkeeper Horton played well, and the Time Travelers' luck was a little worse, so they failed to score again.
However, after all, the Time Traveler was the dominant scene and was playing against the British team, which made the Chinese people who watched it excited. The cheers and cheers never stopped for a moment. The lion dance and the dragon dance were also dancing hard on the sidelines, pushing the atmosphere on the field more enthusiastically. It was only when the Time Traveler failed to attack, he sighed a few times, but immediately began to cheer for a new round of offense.
Foreigners were heartbroken and suffered a lot. Every time the time traveler attacked, they were all very nervous. After the attack failed, they breathed a sigh of relief. However, before they were overjoyed, the new round of attacks of the traveler began again, so their hearts were hung up again.
At this time, on the court, the British team was completely suppressed by the Time Traveler, and it was impossible to pass through the ground to cross the midfield. Even if you can't even make a long pass in the midfield, you can only use a big foot in the backcourt to send the ball to the Crossman's half. However, such a big foot is not accurate; the second is that the British forward can only compete for the top along the ball, while the Time Traveler's defender can jump to grab the ball. Therefore, although there is a gap in height, it is not too disadvantageous. If you really can't, you can carry people below and interfere with the British players' header. If the ball flies into the penalty area, the goalkeeper Chen Heng will attack and use the advantage of the goalkeeper's hand to grab the ball.
In this way, it is difficult for the British team to attack, which is difficult to pose a major threat to the Crossover's goal. Moreover, the entire team was completely divided into two sections by the Crossover, with no connection between them. However, the Crossover's offense is dangerous again and again, which makes the British team's goal panic, almost like a surviving one after another. On several occasions, even the British team itself thought they were going to concede the ball.
