Chapter 163: The New Team's Debut
Left behind zero to one, although he led the offense, the situation was still passive.
Although William moved to the right road to face Bell and Dos Santos, they still did not block the two guys on the other side.
One is fast and the other is good at technology, and each has its own characteristics, so it is really difficult to defend.
Although the counterattacks created by these two people often create threats, fortunately, they did not knock on the Miners' goal again.
The first half also ended with a one-to-zero end.
Players from both sides walked back to the locker room. Xu Qi was planning to warm up in the stadium, but Lucescu patted him on the shoulder and signaled him to go back to the locker room with the team.
Xu Qi glared at him, feeling a little happy.
It seems that Lucescu is planning to let him play.
In this game, the combination of William and Sernado on the right side was completely suppressed. Lucescu had no good idea, but when he saw Xu Qi, Lucescu made a decision to let William return to the left side.
Because he was unable to complete assisted defense on the right side, and his offensive talent was not well demonstrated.
Therefore, Lucescu planned to let William continue to return to the left to strengthen the offense, while he needed Xu Qi to assist Serner's defense.
During the team's training, Lucescu knew that Xu Qi's defense and interception skills were pretty good, so he planned to let Xu Qi complete this difficult task.
Xu Qi knew very well that this was an opportunity for him.
If even William can only be suppressed by the opponent on this wing, but he can suppress his opponent after he appears, this can prove that Xu Qi can definitely become the main force of this team.
At the beginning of the second half, Lucescu completed the first substitution adjustment of the game.
Xu Qi came on the field on the 14th, and the substitution was No. 18 M Lewandowski.
After joining the Donetsk Miners team, Xu Qi's debut in the official game has finally arrived!
It was indeed a good experience to complete his debut as a team-run Miners in such a key UEFA Europa League battle with Tottenham.
Chinese fans who had been in front of TV or computer for a long time finally felt that they had not stayed up late at this time, and finally waited for the scene they were looking forward to!
Xu Qi is on the stage!
Seeing Xu Qi appear, the fans on the sidelines made some sarcastic booing. They still remember some small frictions that happened between Xu Qi and Bale on the bench just now.
Originally, they thought that Xu Qi was just a substitute, and they even challenged the rising star in their team.
Therefore, they did have a bit of ridicule towards Xu Qi.
In fact, the rising star of Tottenham is just because of their outstanding performance in recent games that makes them feel Bale's strong potential.
Originally, in the left-back position, Tottenham's real main player was Asu Ector, but because the Cameroonian full-back was injured recently, he could not play for Tottenham during this period, so it was not until this time that Tottenham began to really use this new player.
The Welsh star produced by Southampton youth training made a substitute last season, and Tottenham did not win any of the matches he played. Therefore, Bale was also called "unlucky" by fans as a bit ridiculous.
However, as he grew up, he did show his strong football talent in the recent game of substituting Asu Ector and gradually gained recognition from fans.
Therefore, even when Lucescu was deploying before the game, Bale was identified as a major threat point in Tottenham.
I have to say that Lucescu's eyes are extremely experienced and vicious, and the abilities Bale showed in this game are indeed extremely outstanding.
It is even said that the level he showed far exceeded many people's previous imagination.
"Oh, this Chinese player is going to be replaced? This is really interesting!" Leinker laughed.
"I really don't understand what the Miners are trying to play. Could it be that the player off the court had some minor frictions with Bale just now and sent him to defend Bale?" McMannaman was also a little puzzled. In short, they did not trust Xu Qi's ability.
It seems that these British celebrities do not have the ability to deal with events of this level.
After Xu Qi came on the court, he stood in front of Serner and looked at the Bell with a thunderbolt mouth in front of him, with a slight smile coming from the corner of his mouth.
The second half begins.
The Miners got the ball, and Xu Qi passed Serner back in the second half.
Serner made a long pass directly to the frontcourt, and the ball directly found Alexander Gladki, the Miners' high center forward. Gladki removed the ball from his chest and then directly took a kick outside the penalty area.
The first shot was a bit skewed and there was no threat.
However, it was also a shocking threat, which intimidated Tottenham's defense and told them not to underestimate the Miners too much.
The Miners' offense is still focused on William's side on the left side, and Judson's organization is also mainly sending balls here.
Xu Qi's mission is actually more about assisting Serner's defense.
Judson passed the ball to William's feet, and William forced his way inside and broke to the front of the penalty area. However, before he could make the next choice again, Tottenham's central defender Dawson had already blocked the ball.
Now, Tottenham has once again got a chance to counterattack quickly.
Once Tottenham successfully intercepted the ball, their offensive players began to run wildly towards the frontcourt.
Dawson passed the ball to Hadlestone, who passed the ball directly to their offensive side's left, and obviously they wanted to continue to use Bale's speed to counterattack.
Judging from this game, the miners are very afraid of Bale's speed.
Therefore, they want to take advantage of Bell's speed even more.
However, when Haddlestone's pass was halfway through, he was stopped.
Xu Qi!
"That guy actually intercepted the ball?" Leinker exclaimed.
The most surprising thing at this time was that Bale, who had already run almost to the center line, was ready to catch the ball. As long as he successfully received the ball, he would be sure to lie directly over the entire defense line of the Donetsk Miners with speed.
But the ball was blocked when it was about to come to his feet.
"Is it him?" Bell glanced at Xu Qi and immediately snatched back.
Xu Qi also quickly dribbled the ball after intercepting the ball. This fast attack that was launched with the trend after stealing the opponent's counterattack was a very good offensive opportunity.
However, before Xu Qi brought two pieces, he found a leg stretched out from behind, and the ball was kicked away!
Then, Xu Qi and the white-clothed player behind him collided and both fell to the ground.
Xu Qi was quite angry when the opponent broke the ball from behind. Xu Qi looked up and found that it was Bale.
Wasn't he several meters behind me just now? He caught up so quickly?
Xu Qi added a new understanding of Bell's speed.
The referee ignored this collision, which means that Bale's foot-stripping ball just now did not make a foul.
Bale ignored Xu Qi who was lying on the ground, but quickly got up and started running forward again, preparing for the team's continued fast attack.
When Xu Qi saw that something was wrong, he immediately got up and started chasing Bell!
Chapter completed!
