Chapter 55 The Most Important Thing Is Momentum

In the first fifteen minutes of the second half, the fans of the Japanese team were filled with excitement and sadness. I was excited because the Japanese team had the advantage in offense during these fifteen minutes, but I was disappointed because although they had the advantage in offense, they did not convert the advantage into victory. None of those massive attacks were able to score a goal.

The score is still 1:1. No matter how great the advantage is, if the score is not rewritten, it will be meaningless.

But despite being disappointed, everyone is still looking forward to it. If we continue with this momentum, the Chinese team's goal may be broken before we know it!

As for the Chinese fans, everyone will inevitably be worried.

After He Ping's explanation, everyone knows the difficulty of playing against the light. During this period, Sun Pan has almost become the protagonist, which must be abnormal. What about our offense?

What about Zhouyi?

Where is the shadow?

※※※

After Zhou Yi received the ball, Yamaguchi Hotaru came up and bumped Zhou Yi's body. It would not knock him to the ground, but it would allow him to adjust the ball under his feet. This speed is actually quite difficult to control. Yamaguchi Hotaru He doesn't succeed every time. Sometimes he uses too much force and it's a foul. Sometimes the force is too light and has no effect on Zhouyi.

This time, he succeeded.

Zhou Yi had already stopped the ball, but his body tilted when he hit the ground. In order to prevent the football from getting out of control, he extended his foot to hook the football, so he added an adjustment step.

If he had planned to pass the football after stopping the ball, the best opportunity to pass the ball has now been lost.

However, Zhou Yi did not pass the ball after adjusting, but chose to dribble the ball. He hooked the football in front of him, and with this action, he took advantage of the situation and took the football out again!

When Yamaguchi Hotaru saw that Zhou Yi did not pass the ball, but dribbled the ball himself, he immediately continued to lean in unceremoniously, intending to stick to Zhou Yi and further interfere with him.

Facing Hotaru Yamaguchi who was approaching, Zhou Yi knocked the football behind him with his right foot and made an emergency stop. Yamaguchi Hotaru got in front of him and blocked Zhou Yi head-on.

This is a situation that many defensive players hope to create, but in this game, it was not the case for Hotaru Yamaguchi.

Because this means that he was thrown away by Zhou Yi!

A gap appeared between him and Zhou Yi.

No matter how wide it is, at least there is a crack in the people who used to be inseparable and they are no longer a whole!

How could Zhou Yi let this fleeting opportunity pass?

He immediately kicked the football to the right wing, where the person receiving the ball was Wu Lei.

Since the sun is dazzling, don’t hit the ball in the air and walk more on the ground.

After Wu Lei caught the ball, he immersed himself in dribbling the ball forward. He happened to have a space. What were he waiting for if he didn't dribble the ball? That indomitable momentum attracted the Japanese team's defensive attention.

Zhou Yi also ran forward, but Hotaru Yamaguchi stuck up again.

In the end, Wu Lei's breakthrough with the ball ended at the front of the Japanese team's penalty area. He took a shot directly while running with the ball. The football went above the crossbar and did not pose any threat to the Japanese team's goal.

After finishing the shot, Wu Lei looked very regretful. He put his head in his hands and looked at the Japanese team's goal.

Then he heard Zhou Yi shouting: "Wu Lei! Wu Lei!"

He turned around and saw Zhou Yi giving him a thumbs up: "Good shot! That's it, attack them when you have the chance, you're welcome! Momentum! The most important thing is momentum!"

This surprised Wu Lei. He thought Zhou Yi would be unhappy if Zhou Yi's pass was wasted.

When he saw the football flying over the crossbar and over the bottom line, he regretted it - maybe he would have stopped and passed the football out again.

Isn't Zhou Yizhen talking sarcastically?

But Zhou Yi soon proved with actual actions that his formation appreciated Wu Lei's performance in the attack just now - when the Chinese team counterattacked, he carried Yamaguchi Hotaru and once again passed the football to Wu Lei who ran into the air. .

This time Wu Lei was a little hesitant after taking the ball. He was afraid that he would make the same mistake again, so after sprinting for a few steps with the ball, he found that the Japanese defenders had organized a defense line. He passed the football to He Ying.

In the end, He Ying completed the shot, which did not threaten the Japanese team's goal at all.

This time, Zhou Yi did not give Wu Lei a thumbs up, but ran over quickly, came to him and asked: "Why didn't you continue to break through just now?"

"Their defense is intact..." Wu Lei pointed at the Japanese team's defenders.

Zhou Yi waved his hand: "Don't worry about so much. As long as you feel there is a chance, break through and break through with the ball. Your speed is an advantage, you must make full use of it. And the Japanese team's defense has not been organized just now. If you break through at a faster speed, , it is possible to disrupt their defense. When the time comes, if you pass the ball to He Ying, the effect will be better than now. Didn't I just say it? The most important thing is momentum!"

Wu Lei asked: "What if they intercept the ball?"

"Counterattack on the spot! Press forward, even if it's a foul, it doesn't matter. As long as the foul here is not bad, you won't get a card if you pull the jersey." Zhou Yi said.

After the explanation, Zhou Yi patted Wu Lei on the shoulder, then ran back, preparing to face the Japanese team's attack.

Wu Lei stayed there and was stunned for a moment, and then ran back to his position.

But he had firmly remembered every word Zhou Yi said to him in his mind.

※※※

When the possession of the ball returned to the feet of the Chinese team, or in other words, when it returned to the feet of Zhou Yi, the Chinese team was in a counterattack situation.

Zhou Yi took the ball and headed towards He Ying, as if he was going to pass the football to He Ying. He Ying also raised his hand and began to rush forward, responding to Zhou Yi in time.

But then Zhou Yi turned around, not only temporarily getting rid of Yamaguchi Hotaru's close pressing, but also completed a direction adjustment, and then he passed the football to the other side, in front of Wu Lei!

Wu Lei, on the other hand, took great strides and accelerated toward the football. This was another counterattack by the Chinese team!

"Wu Lei! He has a space! Zhou Yi passed the ball well, he saw the space on Wu Lei's side!" He Ping highly praised Zhou Yi's passing.

There is indeed a gap in front of Wu Lei. Although it is not too big, it is still more obvious than that of He Ying.

The key is to see what Wu Lei will do after getting the ball.

After passing the ball, Zhou Yi did not stay where he was. Instead, he accelerated forward and followed the offensive towards the Japanese team's penalty area.

This was the third time in a row that he passed the ball to Wu Lei in these seven minutes. These three times were also the entire offense of the Chinese team during this period.

Put in a game, this doesn't really explain the problem, maybe it's just a coincidence.

But this was Zhou Yi's intention. He just wanted to pass the ball to Wu Lei, because he believed that Wu Lei was definitely the key figure to quickly defeat the Japanese team.

In fact, compared to He Ying, who equalized the score for the Chinese team, Wu Lei's performance in this game was very average. In fact, it's not just this game. In this Olympics, compared with his strike partner, Wu Lei seems young and immature in every aspect, lacking experience, not mentally mature enough, and maintaining unstable condition.

These are his shortcomings.

In domestic football, Wu Lei is actually already a talented boy, but compared with He Ying, who is valued by La Masia and ranks second in the top scorer list in La Masia, he is still one rank behind.

In the Olympics, He Ying was well-known and was heavily defended by his opponents, but he still ranked first in the scorer list with six goals, which shows his ability.

But this does not mean that Wu Lei is useless, he also has his advantages. Fast speed is his biggest feature. He Ying is not slow either, but his greater characteristic is his comprehensiveness, while Wu Lei is able to maximize his speed.

And there is another very important factor that made Zhou Yi choose Wu Lei as the arrowhead of the Chinese team's counterattack.

That is, compared to He Ying, Wu Lei poses a much smaller threat to the Japanese team, and the Japanese team does not pay much attention to him.

After He Ying equalized the score, the Japanese team obviously strengthened its defense against He Ying. This resulted in very little defensive pressure on Wu Lei's side. This is why there is always room for Wu Lei's side.

The Japanese team may now feel that scoring a goal is a good idea, so they attack very fiercely, which creates an opportunity for the Chinese team to counterattack. As long as they can choose the right direction and adopt a reasonable method, it is not impossible to threaten their goal!

※※※

Wu Lei received Zhou Yi's pass, and his mind was filled with Zhou Yi's words - momentum! The most important thing is momentum!

The first time he touched the ball, he threw the football out without any intention of stopping, and then ran towards the Japanese team's defense line.

In fact, it is incorrect to say that it is the Japanese team's defense line, because at this time, the Japanese team has not had time to organize a complete defense line - they had been attracted to the left direction before.

So he should have gone towards the Japanese team’s goal!

"The Chinese team's counterattack! Here's the opportunity! Wu Lei! He sprints with the ball and is very fast!"

Amid He Ping's shouting, Wu Lei really felt like he was merging with the wind. Like a high-speed car, he plunged into the shadow at the front of the Japanese team's penalty area against the sun.

Coincidentally, this shadow is approximately the boundary of the Japanese team's thirty-meter area.

Zhou Yi sprinted for a distance and then gave up. He found that Wu Lei was too fast and he couldn't catch up.

He stopped, and Hotaru Yamaguchi also stopped, but his eyes fell on Wu Lei, looking anxiously towards his goal.

"If you want to go back to defense, go ahead. I can't keep up with that speed." He heard Zhou Yi next to him say in broken Japanese.

He looked back at Zhou Yi and saw Zhou Yi smiling at him.

Before he could react, the noise at the scene suddenly increased by 10%. He suddenly turned his head to look again and saw Wu Lei speeding up the ball and rushing past Daisuke Suzuki. Suzuki Daisuke stretched out his foot to tackle, but only hit the air! The football has been entered into the penalty area by Wu Lei!

※※※

"Danger!!" the Japanese commentator exclaimed.

"Wu Lei has entered the restricted area!" He Ping clenched his fists.

※※※

Japanese goalkeeper Shuichi Gonda decisively abandoned the goal and attacked - when Daisuke Suzuki was broken through, he rushed out because Daisuke Suzuki was the last line of defense in front of him. He really didn't expect that he would be broken through by the Chinese team players so easily...

Zhou Yi couldn't keep up, but He Ying could keep up with Wu Lei's speed. He accelerated and sprinted towards the goal, ready to respond - it wouldn't matter if Wu Lei shot directly. Once Wu Lei wanted to pass the ball, he Must appear where it should appear.

Wu Lei, who was dribbling the ball with his head lowered, looked up in front of the goal and slowed down slightly. Gonda Shuichi seized this opportunity and jumped out, grabbing the football with both hands.

But Wu Lei made an adjustment at his feet and gently pushed the football to the side with the outside of his right foot. At the same time, he jumped up and jumped over Gonda Shuichi's arm!

However, although he passed goalkeeper Shuichi Gonda, the angle of his shot was also narrower. Can I pass the ball now?

No!

Wu Lei only had one thought in his mind at this time - shooting!

He caught up with the football, used an unconventional action to kick the football, half-turned and shot the football towards the goal!

After completing this set of actions, he spun around and fell to the ground.

And what about football?

Also spinning and running quickly on the turf.

The captain of the Japanese team, Maya Yoshida, dropped He Ying and almost flew towards the goal, intending to stop the football.

He shoveled towards the football, but missed it.

The football spun across the goal line, and then slid into the goal with Maya Yoshida on the ground, and did not stop until it hit the net... (To be continued)).
