Chapter 923 Critical Moment
Xia Xiaoyu looked at the Algerian players cheering and celebrating, and his mind almost went blank.
I only have one thought: It's over, I made a big mistake!
Just now, when Algeria's right midfielder Hadgaoui passed the ball to Ode from the wing to the center, Xia Xiaoyu could have chosen to stand still. In this way, although he might not be able to intercept the ball for a while, he could Slow down the pace of Algeria's attack.
But at that time, Xia Xiaoyu didn't know why, so he chose to rush forward rashly.
He failed to touch the ball. Instead, he slipped to the ground after missing the ball and completely lost his position.
Therefore, Oede took the ball calmly, sent a through ball, and assisted Devno to score a goal.
In the final analysis, the responsibility for conceding the goal lies entirely with him.
It was his reckless rush that caused the space behind him to be exploited by the opponent, which triggered a series of chain reactions: Yao Hua came up to cover the defense, but the space behind him was caught. Erd passed the football into this space, and Devno also inserted into this space.
Finally lost the ball.
Defense is different from offense. Offense relies on talent and understanding of football. Defense relies on discipline and a mutual advance and retreat.
If there is a problem with one person or one link, it may ultimately lead to collapse.
Just now, the Chinese team's defense had a fatal problem with Xia Xiaoyu.
While Xia Xiaoyu was in a daze, Lin Zhiyuan turned over and knelt on the ground, hitting the turf in front of him with his fist: "Fuck! Fuck! Fuck, fuck, fuck!!!"
In his first World Cup game, he conceded two goals. As a goalkeeper, this was a complete failure in his debut!
Although there are always various reasons for losing the ball, for the goalkeeper, those reasons are not important. As long as he loses the ball, it is his failure.
As a goalkeeper, he is a role that should wipe the butt of the whole team. No matter what mistakes his teammates in front made, he must turn the tide.
So he didn't complain about Xia Xiaoyu, but hated himself for not being able to block both shots.
No one else in the Chinese team complained about Xia Xiaoyu who made the mistake.
It's just that they didn't complain, not necessarily because they were tolerant of Xia Xiaoyu, but because they were so distracted in the face of the continuous blows that they couldn't care less about who to complain to.
As the Algerian players celebrated wildly, they stood transfixed on the pitch.
Like wooden stakes.
Not to mention the players, even the coaches on the sidelines are the same. Shi Wuyin stood helplessly on the sidelines, not knowing what to say or what to do.
He lost the ball in the first half, and Gao Ruimin was unexpectedly injured at the beginning of the second half. He lost the ball just five minutes after replacing Xia Xiaoyu, and the goal was lost from Xia Xiaoyu... These successive blows made him feel tired.
He sighed.
Tired.
※※※
"Oh...well, this is really too bad for the Chinese team..." In the commentary box, He Feng was also tired, but he had to continue to commentate on the game, and he could not remain silent in front of the microphone just because he was tired. hair.
The fans can remain silent, but he cannot. Otherwise it would be a broadcast accident.
"Gao Ruimin was suddenly injured, and now he has conceded another goal... It will be difficult to play this game after falling behind by two goals..." He Feng frowned and continued.
Yan Kang didn't speak at the side, but looked at the court with a solemn expression.
Now he doesn't know how the Chinese team can break through in the face of such a predicament.
In other words, being able to keep from collapsing and losing 0:2 in the end is already considered pretty good?
Well, this is the first World Cup match for the Chinese team. It’s really good not to be sifted...it seems acceptable?
But still unwilling.
Yan Kang just felt unwilling to do so.
Judging from the performance at that stage after the start of the game, the Chinese team may not be able to compete with Algeria.
If we say that the goal conceded in the first half was caused by Oder's personal level being too high, there is nothing to say.
Then in the second half, it really gave people a feeling of "fate is not mine". First, the main player was injured, and then Xia Xiaoyu, who was temporarily replaced, made a mistake in defense, resulting in conceding the ball...
Link after link, it’s as if God is deliberately targeting the Chinese team.
But precisely because of this, Yan Kang felt unwilling.
Why?
This is the first time for everyone to participate in the World Cup. Why can Algeria take three points? And we can only become the backdrop for them to create history?
But what if you are unwilling?
Is there anything else we can do in our extreme predicament?
The TV broadcast showed Hu Lai, and Yan Kang also looked through the monitor screen.
In the close-up, the number one star of the Chinese national team has a dull expression, as if he was also hit by the second conceded goal.
※※※
Hu Lai was in the system space and looked at the purple card in his hand.
[World Wave Experience Card]: After use, the user's shot may become a World Wave within ten seconds.
This is the reward he received for completing the task of helping the Chinese team reach the World Cup finals.
He was hesitating.
According to his original idea, he planned to use this heaven-defying card at the most critical moment.
For example, when the two sides were tied and the game was inextricable, in the last few minutes of the game, he decisively used this card and used a world wave to help the Chinese team kill the opponent and get three points in the World Cup.
After all, if a goal can bring victory, then it is worthy of the million points.
He didn't think there was anything wrong with using this method to win the first World Cup victory for the Chinese team.
As long as you can win... so what if you cheat blatantly? !
As a result, the game did not develop according to this script...
After careful consideration and hesitation, Hu Lai put away the [World Wave Experience Card] without intending to use it now.
There was still half an hour left, and he still wanted to work harder. If he could chase two goals in a row, would he be able to use this card in the end?
As the saying goes, good steel should be used on the blade!
※※※
The Algerian players finished celebrating and returned to their own half, and the Chinese players followed suit and the game restarted after the whistle.
The Chinese team was obviously affected by Algeria's two consecutive attacks. It was dizzy and the whole team was almost stunned.
This is more serious than the impact of conceding the first goal in the first half.
After the ball was lost in the first half, the Chinese team players could comfort and encourage themselves: It was just a goal, and there were still 70 minutes left. We can get it back if we work hard!
But now, this second ball will give many people a sense of helplessness and powerlessness that "this is how they are destined to be."
Under the influence of this emotion, the Chinese team players performed terribly on the court.
Algeria was inspired by the second goal and continued to launch fierce attacks on the Chinese team's goal. This caused the Chinese fans in the stands to exclaim again and again, as if Algeria could score a goal every time it attacked...
"This can't go on... we can't be beaten by them, we're too passive! If we go on like this we will still lose the ball!" He Feng and Yan Kang in the commentary box said anxiously.
"Some changes must be made, and someone must stand up! We cannot let them besieged like this! We must fight back!"
In everyone's eyes, it was as if a terrifying storm had enveloped the small thatched house of the Chinese team, making them worried that the thatched house would be overturned by the storm at any time...
Xia Xiaoyu was gritting his teeth and holding on, because his place had become Algeria's key offensive direction.
In the face of Algeria's fierce offensive, he was very embarrassed.
If Xia Xiaoyu knew that this was his experience in the World Cup, then he might not want to participate in the World Cup...
His heart was under tremendous pressure, and there was a pain that he might die at any time.
After finally destroying an attack by the opponent, Jiang Wanqing shouted at him: "Well done, Xiaoyu!"
I want to encourage this young man, give him some confidence, and free him from the emotion of self-blame and loss.
But he didn't receive any response from Xia Xiaoyu. The latter turned back to his position expressionlessly, without even looking at Jiang Wanqing - he could no longer hear his teammates' voices at all, like a walking zombie, but Follow some basic setup in mechanical repetitive motion.
※※※
Hu Lai sighed in his heart:
Forget it! Forget it! !
Brother Huan was tightly defended by Sateri today and has not performed very well so far. Our offense can only rely on two wings. Although this is the style of play that Director Shi emphasized before the game, without Brother Huan in the center to coordinate and direct, there is no change in playing like this, and it is easy to be blocked by the opponent.
In addition, he was followed closely by the opponent's central defender Mousavi, and he had very few opportunities.
He was still able to shoot in the last period of the first half, but so far in the second half he has completed a shot, and it was not within the goal frame.
Now everyone has to spend all their energy on defense, and there is no hope that they can attack to support themselves. He has withdrawn to assist in defense in the midfield and backcourt, staying away from the Algerian penalty area. How can he threaten the opponent's goal...
He had always been hesitant to save the [World Wave Experience Card] for the critical moments of the game, and was always reluctant to part with it.
But when the game comes to this point, what is the critical moment?
This is the fucking critical moment!
When will this card not need to be updated at this time?
Do we really have to wait until the last minute of the game, when we are still two goals behind, or even more behind, to use this card to score a face-saving goal?
That would be a real waste of this card!
All the efforts you put in to get this card were wasted!

PS, there are also three updates today, one at noon and one at 6pm!
Another friendly advertisement: Zhu Touqi, who has previously written football novels such as "Shoot", "Long Live the Goal" and "The Godfather of Glory", has switched to the military espionage category for his new book. "My Spy Years" has 400,000 words. If you are interested If so, you can go and have a look.
Nowadays, competitive themes, especially the football category, are declining. Many authors have changed careers due to livelihood reasons, so if you can support it, please support it.
