Chapter 121 The war between two barbarians
After the warm-up, the compact pre-match ceremony was completed. The players from both sides stood on the side. The referee signaled to the goalkeepers on both sides to respond with a raised hand and blew the opening whistle.
The Hunan team, which was fighting against the enemy, has indeed shown its determination and courage to burn its boats, which can be seen from the formation. The Hunan team's starting formation is 3-2-3, and the overall combat idea is also very clear, which is to dare to invest troops in the frontcourt, always maintain sufficient pressure on the Guangxi team's defense, use the local scope to play more and play less, achieve goals as soon as possible, and maintain the advantage.
Guangxi team still uses the usual 3-2-1-2 formation: Ouyang O-hai and Li Weizhen lead the double striker, Wu Qizheng's front midfielder, Qi Renfu replaced Jing Yizhou, who was exhausted in the last game, forming a midfield barrier with Xu Te, and the three defenders were Xiao Xiao, Ruan Pei, Xie Zhan, and goalkeeper Qiu Li. In the last game, facing the opponent with the physical advantage, it was a temporary response to the team, and the starting lineup of this game is the team's original appearance.
Compared with the opponent's determination to win and the desperate posture of fighting with all his might, the Guangxi team is on the safe side, trying to hold down the opponent's three axes at the beginning, and then further destroy the opponent's agility, so as to achieve the tactical purpose of "making a concerted effort, then declining, and exhausting three times".
This showdown between two adjacent provinces in the south is nicknamed "the war between two barbarians", which is also a bit ridiculous. Hunanese are often called "Xiang Barbarians". Although it is not without derogatory meaning, it can also be seen from it that the tenacity and courageous qualities of Hunanese people, and recognize the strong combat power formed since modern times; Guangxi is known as "the land of the Southern Barbarians", and the people here are also called "Southern Barbarians", which means that the people here are barbaric and uncivilized.
Now, the encounter between these two barbarians is also full of topics. When the Guangxi team, led by veteran Feng Zicai, defeated the French and claimed to be a great victory in Zhennanguan, the Hunan team had already claimed to have suppressed the Hunan Army, which had revolted against the peasants of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom uprising in Guangxi, and both sides could not give in.
The Hunan team, which has the right to serve, looked polite at all. With the advantage of starting the ball, the formation quickly pressed forward. Hunan players quickly entered the Guangxi team's half. Taking advantage of the number of players and flexible running positions, Guangxi players were unable to deal with it. The opening offensive launched by Hunan team went one wave higher than the other.
The three forwards of Hunan team are No. 9, No. 10 and No. 14. The three of them have their own characteristics. They can also be seen in the running position. They have undergone certain training and have certain rules and routines. No. 9 is placed in the center, has strong ability to hold the ball on his back, and has a height of 1.72 meters. They are not afraid of the high school guards of Guangxi team. The running position of No. 10 is more flexible and the position is not fixed. The center, shadow forward, and winger may appear at any time, and the connection with No. 9 is more frequent; No. 14 is more like a shadow hidden behind No. 9 and No. 10. The running position is quite thrifty, and he is used to swimming around the periphery. The sudden speed-up at critical moments is hard to defend.
The two midfielders of Hunan team No. 7 and No. 8 have a huge range of activities. The two can firmly lock the midfield by working together. They both have a long shot ability, and their feet are not slow. They have strong ability to cross-border assists on the wing.
After taking the ball, Hunan team took a look at the frontcourt, kicked the ball forward with big feet. Center No. 9 grabbed Ruan Pei before Ruan Pei destroyed it, and gently used his head to return the ball. No. 14 who followed the ball and passed it directly through the ribs exposed by Xiao Xiao and Ruan Pei. No. 10 inserted forward at high speed, and after squeezing Xiao Xiao's blockage, he directly raised his foot and shot!
The ball flew to the ground and rushed towards the near corner of the goal. Qiu Li used all his strength to hit the ball sideways, barely touched the ball, causing it to change its trajectory, and flew out of the baseline by rubbing the post. In the subsequent corner kick, it was the cross cover of the two forwards of Hunan team No. 9 and No. 10, which led the defenders to mess up, and created a shooting space for the sudden attack No. 14. At such a close distance, Qiu Li was beyond the reach. Fortunately, Xie Zhan, who was guarding the right post, focused his attention and tried his best to clear the ball into the dangerous area in the future, barely resolving an imminent danger.
While the Hunan team attacked with all their might, the players were also very thief and were always looking for opportunities to make profits. The Guangxi players seemed not to realize this. Lin Rui saw these scenes and noticed something, and whispered to Mo Huaqiang beside him.
After the Hunan team no. 10 shook Qi Renfu's press, they used their skillful dribbling skills to successfully attract two defenders, Xiao Xiao and Ruan Pei, to defend themselves, and suddenly passed a over-head shot behind Ruan Pei; teammate No. 9 in the middle suddenly stepped forward, Xie Zhan on the right closed the crack and followed him tightly, but he was still half a step slower, and No. 9 had the first touch.
According to normal circumstances, No. 9 will use the space he has made, either speeding up to dribble the ball forward and single-handedly hit the goalkeeper's far post; but this time it was a little unusual, No. 9 slowed down a bit, allowing the shot time he made to disappear without being moved, as if he was waiting for another opportunity.
Xie Zhan looked at him hesitating and was overjoyed. He stepped forward without paying too much attention. He directly raised his right foot and flew over to destroy the ball. No. 9 was waiting for this opportunity. When his left foot and Xie Zhan's right foot were about to touch, he was like he was greatly hurt by this flying shovel. He fell forward and groaned in pain on the ground. The scene of the incident was already inside the penalty area.
This is a very obvious act of fake falls and cheating penalty kicks. Xie Zhan also wanted to appeal innocently, but he had never met his opponent. Fortunately, the referee had a fierce eye and saw through No. 9's intention. Although he did not give a yellow card, he also gave him a verbal warning.
This is a bad signal. Mo Huaqiang quickly conveyed Lin Rui's meaning to other players through the recent players to avoid re-offending. However, when the Guangxi team tried hard to avoid opponents' collision, there was always a slight secret, and the Hunan team's opening goal was realized.
Hunan team rushed up and shot hard. Xiao Xiao pushed the ball out, but it didn't hit the far side. It happened to be at No. 9 in the middle. Without a trace of hesitation, he directly shot the ball. The ball shot was still flying against the ground. Facing the close-up shot, the ball was so fast that Ruan Pei in the middle didn't have time to block it, so he could only instinctively stretch out his right foot. This stretch would be a bad thing.
The ball turned out to fly to the right, and Qiu Li, who was very quick to react, also made corresponding saves, but as the ball hit Ruan Pei's right foot, it suddenly stretched out and turned to the left, the ball hit the Guangxi team's goal unimpeded.
1:0, after a lot of efforts from Hunan team, they finally knocked on the door of Guangxi team as they wished, and the balance of the game began to tilt towards them.
