Chapter 2143 Asian Level
In the first half, England kicked off. After they kicked off, they passed the football back and forth in their own midfield, trying to lure the Chinese team to attack so that they could counterattack the Chinese team.
To some extent, they succeeded in doing so.
Because the Chinese team did press forward and attack.
However, what was different from what England expected was that the Chinese team that came up directly penetrated the England goal.
So... England's kick-off schedule worked, but not quite.
In the second half, the Chinese team kicked off.
They did not move back and forth in their midfield to try to attract England to press forward.
Instead, he fought directly forward!
"The Chinese team chooses to move forward!"
the commentators in the commentary box shouted.
As neutral commentators, they were happiest when they saw that the Chinese team did not choose a conservative style of play.
There was so much hype before this game that the Internet was full of topics about the "China-UK war".
What a pity it would be if only half the game was exciting?
Moreover, the Chinese team played well in the first half, wouldn't England respond in the second half?
It has to come and go to be wonderful, right?
The Chinese team presses forward. If England can seize the opportunity and quickly get a goal back, the suspense of this game will return!
They don't necessarily want England to win the game in the end, they just watch the fun and don't mind it...
※※※
The Chinese team took advantage of the kick-off opportunity and failed to score a goal.
The ball returned to England.
Although goalkeeper Shim Dickinson had not yet taken the goal kick, the England fans in the stands opposite their goal were eager to start shouting.
While shouting, he kept making hooking gestures.
They were calling for football, for Dickinson to kick it over and for England to attack.
On the court, Darren Hunter was making the same gestures as the fans. He was looking for Dickinson to get the ball - don't pass it through the midfield, just drive over with a big kick, Shim!
As a center, he is 1.88 meters tall and has certain heading ability.
Dickinson did pass the football long.
Hunter retreated further, observing his situation from left to right.
Then he found Pete Williams.
He was going to tip the football to Williams, and then quickly turn around and move forward to seek cooperation with Williams.
But while looking for Williams, he also saw Wang Guangwei, who was coming up with him.
Just diagonally behind him.
Darren Hunter did not find Wang Guangwei difficult because of this, on the contrary, he was even a little excited.
On the one hand, the opponent's center back was drawn out by him. As long as he could pass the ball to Williams, and then quickly turn around and move forward, he would be able to insert into the space behind Wang Guangwei. The Chinese team's defense would be open to him. door!
On the other hand, this is also a great opportunity for him to teach Wang Guangwei a lesson!
In the first half, England was generally at a disadvantage and was suppressed by the Chinese team. As a center, he did not have many opportunities to perform.
The second half was different. England was going to counterattack, and he was the bridgehead of the counterattack!
The football comes flying and Darren Hunt is ready to take off.
At the same time, behind him invisible, Wang Guangwei took a lunge and accelerated to take off.
When Hunter just took off, Wang Guangwei was already in the air.
It seems that his jumping distance is still a little far away.
But he took off first and got the chance to land before Darren Hunter, who took off later!
Darren Hunter twisted his body slightly in the air to accumulate energy for the ferry.
But before he could unleash this force, he felt an even greater force pressing down from behind him!
His rising momentum was suddenly suppressed.
The force that wanted to explode upward was suppressed back into the body, making Darren Hunter feel as if he had hit a ceiling...
He looked up and caught a glimpse of Wang Guangwei's face from the corner of his eye.
He was lowering his head to head the ball back.
Then Hunter, who lost all kinetic energy, fell downwards.
"Wang Guangwei! Beautiful header! He pushed England's ball back!"
After landing, Darren Hunter looked back at Wang Guangwei, who landed next to him after completing a header clearance.
Seemingly noticing the latter's eyes, Wang Guangwei glanced at him.
But it was just this glance. Wang Guangwei did not let his eyes linger on Hunter for much longer.
He also needs to pay close attention to the next trends.
Even though it was just a glance, Darren Hunter always felt that there was...contempt in Wang Guangwei's eyes.
It's like he doesn't want to look at himself seriously at all!
Darren Hunt couldn't help but feel angry at the thought.
He is not angry at Wang Guangwei's attitude towards him, he is angry at himself that so far in this game, he has really not shown any decent performance to make Wang Guangwei feel threatened...
Even though Wang Guangwei is not as tall as him and his body is not as strong as his own, he is very flexible and has rich experience.
This ball was like this just now...
This is the first time Darren Hunter has played against Wang Guangwei in a game.
Before that, he was in Stan Park Rangers and Wang Guangwei was in Vesuvius. They belonged to different national leagues. If they wanted to compete, they could only compete in Europe. However, Darren Hunt has not met Vesuvius in the Champions League since he started playing at Stan Park Rangers.
He often saw reports about Wang Guangwei on the Internet and in the media, but they were mostly criticism, ridicule and abuse, and the evaluation was really not high.
Before this World Cup, when the English media conducted a tour of the top 32 players in the World Cup, they all believed that the Chinese team’s biggest shortcoming was defense: “...They (Chinese team) have a world-class offensive line, but their defense is just Asian level..."
This is the original media text.
This makes Darren Hunt even angrier - so I can't fucking handle an Asian-level centre-back? !
※※※
When England had the ball, Darren Hunt dropped back to meet the ball and took the initiative to ask for the ball.
However, after getting the ball this time, he did not control the ball at his feet like before, and then tried to blast the Chinese team's defense at a single point.
He quickly passed the football out again, allowing Xia Xiaoyu, who was about to defend him, to miss him.
After passing the ball, Hunter turned around, accelerated, and rushed towards the Chinese team's penalty area.
He wants to compete with Wang Guangwei in the penalty area!
While rushing into the penalty area, he raised his arms to signal to his teammates.
Brad Pate, who was on the right wing, raised his right foot and tried to make a pass.
Peng Weijun, who was guarding him, didn't dare not guard him and stretched out his feet to block.
Pate's cross was a fake move. He dunked the football with his right foot, stopped suddenly, temporarily shook off Peng Weijun, then made a slight adjustment and started to pass again.
This time he threw a ground ball!
The football was passed to Darren Hunter, who happened to be inserted into the penalty area. He adjusted his body direction while running, and then raised his left leg as if he was going to shoot directly.
At the same time, Wang Guangwei also rushed up and stretched out his feet to block him.
After he stretched out his feet, Hunter's left foot did not come down.
Fake action!
He wanted to feint a shot, causing Wang Guangwei to make the first move.
Now Wang Guangwei indeed took the first shot. Hunter's left foot paused in the air for a moment. When the football was about to roll past him, he exerted force again and shot with a swing of his foot!
This time I shot very decisively!
He expected that Wang Guangwei would no longer be able to stop him!
But he was wrong!
As soon as the football was shot out, it hit a flying foot!
Or to be more precise, it rubbed on the toes!
Just because of this bump, the football deflected and flew out of the baseline a few meters outside the Chinese team's far goal post!
"Hunter shot - ahhhh!"
England commentator Matthew Cox put his head in his hands and let out a piercing scream.
At the same time, He Feng raised his arms and shouted: "Wang Guangwei! Beautiful!! He completed an extremely extreme defense!"
He Feng was right, it was indeed extreme.
Although Wang Guangwei had lost all his strength, he still struggled to stretch his right leg. Such an action made his groin almost on the verge of strain...
Looking at the slow-motion footage, when Hunter shot, Wang Guangwei had indeed thrown away all his center of gravity.
Because in this situation, as a central defender, you dare not not go all out to defend.
If Hunter scores a direct shot because of his own efforts, it will be his responsibility as a central defender.
After Hunter feinted a shot, he tried again in the middle, and in the end, even though he almost strained his thigh ligament, it was still close.
He had to straighten his ankles and use his toes to extend his defensive length.
In the end, he actually blocked the ball with his toes!
After completing his defense, he even sat on the ground in a split position, which shows how extreme his defense just now was...
Huge cheers rang out at the Bailong Lake Stadium, and Chinese fans kept shouting: "Wang Guangwei! Rise up! Wang Guangwei! Rise up!"
Amid the uniform shouts, Darren Hunter put his head in his hands, widened his eyes, and looked at Wang Guangwei, who was close at hand, with an incredible expression.
The latter was being pulled up from the ground by his teammates.
Wang Guangwei, who was pulled up by Qin Qi, noticed Hunter's gaze and glanced at him.
But it was just a glance. His eyes did not stay on Hunter for a long time. He turned around, clapped his hands and shouted: "Pay attention to the corner kick! Keep an eye on the person!"
Hunter couldn't understand what Wang Guangwei was shouting and could only look at his back.
He was constantly pointing, arranging the positions of his teammates, and assigning them targets to defend in corner kicks.
He had clearly completed a wonderful defense just now, but he didn't take it to heart at all. It's like just completing a trivial thing...
Darren Hunter once again thought about the English media’s evaluation of the Chinese captain in the past four years:
"...Although Wang serves as the main force in Serie A giant Vesuvius, considering that the overall level of Serie A has declined seriously. Playing as the main force in Serie A does not reflect his ability... In short, compared with the star-studded frontcourt attack lineup Up, the Chinese team's defensive lineup is much bleak. Even the best king in their lineup is just an Asian-level central defender..."
Asia-level central defender...
Oh.
