Chapter 115 The Horn of the Counterattack
The horn of the counterattack is time to sound. Xu Qi stood outside the penalty area. He rarely squeezed into the crowded penalty area to compete for the first point. He liked to wait outside the penalty area for the ball to be pushed out by the opponent and then grab the position of the second point to launch an attack again.
Zhikovvic's set-piece kick sent the set-piece from the left. Obviously, it was not a direct shot, but a pass into the penalty area.
Luneng has arranged several players with the ability to compete for the top into the penalty area, but Shenhua's air defense ability is also very confident in defending such set pieces.
Shenhua goalkeeper Wang Dalei saw the ball flying route and quickly judged that the ball's landing point was very close to the small penalty area he controlled, so he immediately chose to attack.
Facing the many players rushing over for the header, he jumped first and hit the ball out of the penalty area with one hand.
This punch is quite domineering. It is indeed much more advantageous to those who can use their hands than those who can only use their heads. As long as the ball is close to the goalkeeper's control range, no one will get the ball, and even if it is grabbed, it will basically be judged as a collision with the goalkeeper.
The ball flew out of the penalty area, and the defensive players in the penalty area also pressed out because they saw that the ball was not completely destroyed, but flew to Xu Qi's feet.
Xu Qi grabbed the second point in the frontcourt again. Yu Tao from Shenhua team quickly rushed out of the penalty area. He wanted to defend Xu Qi's direct shot!
He looked at Yu Tao who was rushing over, and then looked up at the dense crowd in the penalty area. Xu Qi did not choose to shoot. At this time, the shots would most likely be blocked by people. Maybe they were lucky and hit the opponent's hands, or maybe they would be better luck to reflect the goal, but those were all small-probability events.
Xu Qi likes to do more confident things. He pulls the ball, dodges Yu Tao's tackle, and then passes the ball across to Zhikovvic again.
The Serbian star got another chance to pass the ball into the penalty area at this time. At this time, Shenhua's penalty area was even more chaotic than before the penalty kick was just now!
With his left foot, the ball drew an arc and flew into the penalty area again. This time the ball was faster, and it was lower and flatter!
Such a ball king Da Lei is even more difficult to block, so he did not choose to use boxing, but stayed honestly where he should stay.
Suddenly, Li Jinyu stabbed out in the penalty area and directly pushed the ball towards the goal.
Wang Dalei was powerless to head at such a close distance.
The ball passed through Wang Dalei's hand and flew into the net!
"The ball is in! Shandong Luneng team won a game back. Although there is still a gap of two goals, this goal also gives us hope. The suspense of this game is back!" Shandong's commentator Dong Pingsheng was a little depressed. He did not call out the "Gugugu" hen laying egg-style celebration he liked in the past, but in the face of such a goal, he still showed some excitement.
If you fall back three goals behind, you will always see some hope.
"Xu Qi did bring some changes to the team after he came on the court. The free kicks he created in the frontcourt made the team siege against Shenhua. Finally, the second attack outside the penalty area was planned by Xu Qi, and then the assisted by Jikovvic, Li Jinyu completed the goal!"
This goal also made the players and staff who were originally on the bench stand up excitedly, and finally gave them a little hope.
The Shenhua boss Zhu Jun, who was supervising the game, also lost his complacent calmness because of such a goal, and instead felt a little nervous.
A three-goal lead and two-goal lead are completely different psychological states, especially when facing a team like Shandong Luneng with strong attack power, this will make them feel a sense of crisis.
It would be fine if the opponent was a weak team, but the key opponent was the Luneng team, which was not inferior to them but was stronger. Moreover, Xu Qi's breakthrough just now also made him frightened.
Zhu Jun watched the game time, and it was less than 60 minutes. He suddenly hoped that the game would end as soon as possible. At least winning two would be a good result.
However, it is still more than half an hour, which means that Shenhua will face a long counterattack from her opponent.
A substitution has caused completely different changes in the game situation.
The Luneng team did not celebrate too much, and the fans did not see Li Jinyu celebrating the way he bent his bow and shot the Eagles as before, because they were still two goals behind, they hurried back to the midfield with the ball in their arms, waiting for the opponent's midfield kickoff.
Now they need to save some time and try to leave more time for attack.
The Shenhua team hopes that the game will end as soon as possible, and the mentality of the two teams has undergone drastic changes because of such a goal.
Three minutes later, Xu Qi took the ball near the corner of the penalty area on the left again and shot with his signature shot from the far corner.
The ball has a beautiful arc, just because his shooting position was not at the best angle, and he finally hit the goal post and bounced out of the bottom line.
The fans of Luneng "Expeditionary Force" at the scene began to sing excitedly. Although the team was behind, they would naturally be happy for the team when they saw such a change and a brand new look.
This is also a group of extremely professional fans of Luneng, who will unswervingly support the team.
Under such pressure, Shenhua team made more mistakes, and a sudden loss of the ball made them feel anxious.
Under the leadership of Xu Qi, Luneng launched wave after wave of attacks like a tide.
In the second half, after Xu Qi came on the court, the two teams were completely transferred. Shenhua, who was attacking wildly in the first half, was now a little panicked, while Luneng team played happily.
During this period, Luneng will create some threats every few minutes during this period, and Shenhua's goal is shaking like a flower that is about to wither.
However, it is not a good thing to always be unable to seize the opportunity. Although the Luneng team's offensive strength has been completely activated by Xu Qi, the chance in front of the goal was all squandered after Li Jinyu's goal until 75 minutes later.
Tubakovic on the sidelines was also a little anxious and kept using gestures to direct his disciples to make them calmer when they were in front of the door.
In addition to Luneng's squandering opportunities, Wang Dalei also acted like a cheat, with high connections and low stops blocking many opportunities in Luneng.
Faced with such a situation, Xu Qi could only communicate with his teammates, try to calm them down, and never be weak when facing good opportunities.
Sometimes football matches are like this. The more you face some key opportunities, the more likely you are to score goals, the easier it is to squander, because when facing these opportunities, you often have a surge of qi and blood that can easily affect your normal technical movements.
Or when facing unexpected opportunities suddenly appear, they pursue speed too much and forget that he can actually adjust, which leads to being too anxious. Therefore, some professional players should not make mistakes such as not entering the empty goal, and it is also easy to happen in the professional arena.
