Chapter 1,155 Reversal of the Score

After Gao Xiaodong scored, the Chinese team celebrated for a long time. When the game started again, when the Chinese team wanted to score another goal while the iron was hot, there was no time. The referee waited for Singapore to complete an attack and stopped the game.

The score of 1:1 at halftime is logically difficult to satisfy the Chinese people, but this is the equalizer, and Gao Xiaodong is the substitute savior, which satisfies the personal heroism complex of the Chinese fans, so when the Chinese fans left the field He received a warm farewell from the fans, and many fans crowded to the top of the mixed tunnel to wave and shout at Gao Xiaodong. If not for the security guards, some fans were even ready to jump down and hug Gao Xiaodong.

The Chinese players returned to the locker room, where coach Camacho and team leader Jingwei were already waiting there.

Except for Gao Xiaodong, Camacho was not satisfied with the performance of other players. However, this was Camacho's first game and he was not familiar with the players, so Camacho did not criticize the players and just talked in general terms. Let’s talk about the problems that occurred in the first half. He didn’t say much about the ball lost due to Li Feng’s mistake. He just said that the defender should be steady when handling the ball and dismissed it.

Although he did not criticize the players, Camacho emphatically praised Gao Xiaodong.

"... Gao's performance after coming on was very impressive. He was causing trouble for his opponents every second. He almost broke down Singapore's defense by himself. He changed the trend of the game and saved the team. …”

To praise Gao Xiaodong is to criticize other players. Every word Camacho said was like a whip on the hearts of the Chinese players. Many old players became resistant. They believed that they were not entirely to blame for their poor performance. The team had just been established for a few days, Camacho didn't even understand any tactics, and he couldn't use the original tactics. How could he play the game? Besides, since you Camacho praised Gao Xiaodong like a flower, why didn't you let Gao Xiaodong start? It's not like Gao Xiaodong didn't come. Some people also believe that even if Gao Xiaodong does not play, they will be able to reverse Singapore in the end, because before Gao Xiaodong comes on the field, the Chinese team has already fully dominated, hitting a goal post and winning a penalty kick.

I thought so, but the players didn't dare to express it. They all listened in silence to Camacho's instructions.

After talking about the problems in the first half, Camacho then arranged the tactics for the second half. With Gao Xiaodong on the court, Camacho's tactics still remained unchanged. Still passing through the frontcourt quickly, the offense is mainly based on crosses from the side, assisted by penetration from the frontcourt, focusing on the overall pressing and forward passing awareness. However, because the opponent is weak, Camacho emphasizes the need to shoot more if there is a chance. Anyone can shoot, increasing the likelihood of scoring.

Camacho likes players to stay in position, maintain a good formation, and not change or move around at will, but for a superstar with strong personal ability like Gao Xiaodong, he did not dare to limit his position, so after telling the team After the tactics, Camacho called Gao Xiaodong aside again, discussed with him his playing style in the second half, and told Gao Xiaodong that his position was free and he could move freely and attack from any position.

Don't be bound by his tactics.

Because of Gao Xiaodong's all-round attributes, he has never been very abiding by the position rules on the field. Most of the coaches who have coached him have given him a lot of freedom. When he first joined the national team, Gao Xiaodong was still worried that Camacho would nail him. position, now seeing that Camacho is not rigid, Gao Xiaodong was very happy and expressed his gratitude to Camacho for taking care of him.

Seeing that no player in the locker room had any objections to his arrangements, Camacho was very satisfied. He believed that the poor performance of the Chinese team in the first half was also beneficial in a sense, at least it could help him control these players. , now he hopes to score a few more goals in the second half, score enough points, and prepare for the tough battle ahead.

The fifteen-minute break passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, the second half began.

Both the Singapore and Chinese teams were able to accept the 1:1 score in the first half, especially Singapore head coach Aramovich. He believed that his players' performance exceeded expectations. If such a score can be maintained at the end of the game, it will be a win for Singapore. It was a big win, so the Singapore team did not make any substitutions and still used the original team to deal with the Chinese team.

After witnessing Gao Xiaodong's magic in the last five minutes of the first half, most of the Huaguo team's players were convinced. In the second half, the Huaguo team's offense mainly focused on Gao Xiaodong.

The score was still unfavorable to the Chinese team, so Gao Xiaodong did not cooperate too much with his teammates and took care of them. His teammates became Gao Xiaodong's contact point and a tool to attract firepower.

In the 50th minute of the game, China goalkeeper Yang Zhi drove forward and the Singapore center back headed the ball back. Gao Xiaodong jumped high to intercept the ball and "saw" the position of goalkeeper Lewis through his super glasses. A little forward, Gao Xiaodong bullied the substitute goalkeeper. He half-turned and volleyed the goal from more than 40 meters away.

Gao Xiaodong's shot was very sudden. When he shot, his body had not turned to face the goal. It was a half-turn shot.

Fortunately, Lewis had already realized the horror of Gao Xiaodong's shooting in the first half, so wherever Gao Xiaodong got the ball, Lewis focused on Gao Xiaodong's every move.

It was this caution that saved Lewis and Singapore. When Gao Xiaodong took off, Lewis quickly retreated and held the ball in his arms in the small penalty area.

Although Gao Xiaodong's lob did not score a goal, it won the cheers of the fans and set off a wave of offensive climax for the Chinese team.

In the 52nd minute, Zhao Xu took a long shot from outside the penalty area. Two Singaporean players flew to block the ball and blocked it.

In the 54th minute, Liu Jian made a long pass from the backcourt to the left side of the frontcourt. Yu Hai cut in and directly attacked the goal. The ball was collected by Lewis.

One minute later, Gao Xiaodong pulled the ball to the right and passed the ball into the penalty area. Qu Bo was unable to stop the ball while rushing forward and missed the opportunity to attack. The ball was cleared by the Singapore defender.

Because Camacho likes to press forward and requires the pass to go forward. Whoever has the opportunity will shoot. This puts a lot of pressure on Singapore's intensive defense and greatly increases the difficulty of defense. It is difficult to spend all the energy on it. Guard Gao Xiaodong.

In the 59th minute of the game, Gao Xiaodong once again got a chance to score.

Huaguo team defender Du Wei launched the attack with a long pass. Forward Yang Xu headed the ball to the left side of the penalty area. Gao Xiaodong suddenly started, inserted into the penalty area and flew towards the top.

Singapore defender Shaifu was knocked to the ground by Gao Xiaodong when he wanted to block the position. However, when he fell to the ground, he subconsciously reached out to pull Gao Xiaodong's ankle to prevent Gao Xiaodong from rushing to the top.

If the referee saw it, this was a penalty kick, but Shaif couldn't watch Gao Xiaodong facing the goalkeeper on the small penalty area line, so he could only take a chance.

However, Gao Xiaodong's charge was too powerful, like a tank taking off, and Schaev couldn't hold him back even with a deadlift. Gao Xiaodong dragged Schaeff, which weighed more than 160 kilograms, and dived to the top, passing the ball past goalkeeper Lewis. Scored the goal.

2:1

Less than fifteen minutes into the second half, Gao Xiaodong scored again, reversing the score for the Chinese team.
