Chapter 184 Forever in History

The fierce game continued until the seventy-fifth minute.

The physical fitness of the players on both sides has reached a bottleneck.

Two consecutive games within four days, and at the same time, they had to cross half the world diagonally, which was a severe test for the physical fitness of the players of the two teams.

Especially the Chinese team, they flew from China to Paraguay before this game, and the journey was almost double that of their opponents.

Although Shi Wuyin made some adjustments to the starting lineup in the second round of the game, it could not completely solve the physical problem.

On the contrary, Hu Lai, who flew from the UK to Paraguay, and then flew from Paraguay to China with the team, showed good physical performance. Originally, the most worrying thing was his physical fitness, but now it seems that there is no major problem.

It has to make people feel that playing in the Premier League really exercises people, and Hu Lai's physical strength has made greater progress than before.

In short, in Hu Lai, almost every aspect reflects the benefits of playing football abroad.

It also makes both the Chinese players who fought side by side with him, and those young Chinese players who watched the game in front of the TV, all yearn for going abroad to play in Europe.

"I want to go to Europe to play football too!" Zhou Zijing stared at the TV screen and said to himself among the Olympic teammates watching the football together.

※※※

With the decline in the physical fitness of the players on both sides, Paraguay coach Arturo began to consider changing tactics.

Now the score has not changed, the Chinese team leads Paraguay 1:0 at home, but the total score is Paraguay leading 3:2.

In other words, Paraguay only needs to be able to hold this score, and they will eliminate the Chinese team and return to the World Cup finals after a lapse of 20 years.

So is it still necessary for Paraguay to continue to attack and pursue goals?

From the current point of view, the young goalkeeper of the Chinese team is obviously in very good condition. No matter whether it is Sousa, Ramirez, or anyone else, there is no way to break through the gate guarded by him.

Anyway, Paraguay has worked hard so far, and even missed a penalty kick.

Before Arturo planned to let Paraguay score an away goal, it seems that continuing to pursue away goals may be very risky.

So he decided to change his strategy and goal, and hold a one-goal lead to end the game.

Judging from the first round of the match, when Paraguay was fully defending, the defense led by Arce could completely withstand the attack of the Chinese team.

Anyway, it only takes fifteen minutes to defend, and the Chinese team also has physical problems.

Thinking of this, he immediately conveyed his adjustment instructions to the players on the field with gestures and whistles on the sidelines:

Recovery defense!

※※※

"Paraguay actually retracted...Damn it!"

"It's normal. They only need to keep this score to go to the World Cup. If they don't take it back at this time, will they press it out and wait for our counterattack?"

"Hu Lai, come on! Luo Kai, come on! Chen Xingyi, Zhang Qinghuan, come on! Another goal, just one more goal!"

"Alsay is really strong. It is really not easy for Hu Lai to break through his defense...Although the Chinese team is already very good at this level, I still feel unwilling..."

...

As Paraguay changed tactics, many Chinese fans on the Internet also commented one after another, worrying for the Chinese team.

There are only ten minutes left before the end of the game. Can the Chinese team score a goal in the remaining time?

From the current point of view, it cannot be said that there is no chance at all, but the probability is not high.

And I also have to worry that after the Chinese team aggressively presses down, if Paraguay takes the opportunity to sneak attack, they will be sent home directly...

Paraguay's striker Ramirez is fast and is a good counter-attacker. So they do have the ability to attack the Chinese team.

This is what makes the Chinese team particularly uncomfortable.

However, the entire Chinese team, including Shi Wuyin, is not qualified to choose whether to attack or not.

They have nowhere else to go but to attack.

So you must attack, you can only attack!

Shi Wuyin stood on the sidelines,

Wave your arms to let the Chinese team press up.

Even if the opponent's head coach sees through the tactical intentions, it doesn't matter, because it's not a secret at all...

In this way, with a little tragic taste, the Chinese team insisted on continuously attacking the Paraguayan goal when there were physical problems.

"Hu Lai! He shot before Alsay! Unfortunately, under the interference of Alsay, he still kicked the football away..."

"Houlai collided with Arce in the penalty area. Neither side hit the ball. The football was intercepted by the Paraguayan goalkeeper Almiron!"

"Zhang Qinghuan shot! Ah! It's a little bigger!"

...

Although the Chinese fans cheered for the Chinese team's offense non-stop in the stands, the Chinese team's offense still failed to score.

At the same time, the game time is still passing by mercilessly.

The Chinese fans at the scene kept casting their eyes on the big screen to see how many minutes were left in the game.

The game has reached the eighty-fifth minute, and there are only five minutes left before the end of the regular 90-minute game.

A goal in five minutes...

No matter how you look at it, there is little hope.

But the Chinese fans in the stands did not shut up because of this, as long as the Chinese team got the ball, they would shout as always.

At the same time, if the Paraguayan players have the ball, there will be boos-this is not just as simple as trying to put pressure on the Paraguayan players, but really expressing dissatisfaction with the Paraguayan players.

Seeing that there was not much time left in the game, the Paraguayan players began to fall frequently on the court. While delaying the time, they also cut a game into fragments and frequently interrupted the Chinese team's offensive rhythm.

Chinese fans are very dissatisfied with their approach, but they can't jump into the stadium to beat up the Paraguayan players, and they can only express their anger with boos in the stands.

Paraguay's players are all old churros, deaf to the boos in the stands, and it doesn't affect them at all.

How to kick and how to kick.

They even took advantage of the opportunity of the Chinese team's aggressive attack to launch a counterattack, and finally Sousa completed the shot.

This time, Lin Zhiyuan didn't have a convulsion, and his performance was very stable. He flew sideways and shot the football out of the bottom line.

"Lin Zhiyuan made a wonderful save. His outstanding performance may be the biggest confidence for the Chinese team to continue to attack..."

The Paraguayan players all ran across the half to participate in this corner attack.

For Paraguay, which has shrunk its defense, their hopes of scoring goals are basically in counterattacks and frontcourt positioning.

As the captain of the team and the central defender with an excellent header, Arce also pressed in front of the Chinese team.

Although the game will end in a few minutes, if the final decision can be made in this corner kick attack, then the team will not have to suffer in the last few minutes. After all, no one knows what will happen at the last moment of the game...

Similarly, the Chinese team is also facing a formidable enemy.

Everyone went back to defend inside and outside the penalty area.

The center forward Hu Lai is no exception. He stands at the top of the free throw arc and helps to pester a Paraguayan player.

※※※

Amidst the boos, Paraguay's corner kick was sent out.

The football flew high towards the goal of the Chinese team, where Alsay and Yao Huasheng were entangled, trying to take off and compete for the top.

"My—!" With a loud roar, beside them, Lin Zhiyuan jumped up as if out of nowhere, swung his fist and hit the ball!

The football flew obliquely to the outside of the penalty area.

There is Chen Xingyi!

But at the same time, Paraguay's left back Juan Balbuena quickly posted up from behind, intending to steal or interfere with Chen Xingyi's possession of the ball.

If Chen Xingyi didn't handle it well, the ball might be intercepted by Balbuena and launch a second attack.

At this critical moment, Chen Xingyi caught a glimpse of a person rushing towards him from the door!

He didn't have time to see who it was, he just knew it was his teammate who was wearing red clothes like himself, so he jumped up and nodded the football with his head.

"Wang Guangwei!" He Feng shouted.

The one who ran out to meet Chen Xingyi turned out to be Wang Guangwei who was supposed to be fighting for the top in front of the gate!

Wang Guangwei raised his foot and pushed the football that Chen Xingyi picked up directly forward!

Balbuena, who originally wanted to defend against Chen Xingyi, suddenly changed his target and rushed towards Wang Guangwei.

The central defender of the Chinese team actually pressed out of the penalty area. If he can snatch the ball here, doesn't it mean that the Chinese team will lose an important defensive player in front of the goal? !

Thinking of this, his eyes became hot...

Wang Guangwei took a big step, and when Balbuena rushed forward, he used his long legs to pick the football in the air to the right!

The football flew over Balbuena's head and was given to Chen Xingyi who had already turned around and rushed forward!

The Chinese fans in the stands cheered, amidst the huge cheers, the commentator He Feng yelled: "The Chinese team counterattacked!!"

Balbuena turned around and found Chen Xingyi who was holding the ball, and quickly turned around to intercept.

Chen Xingyi used his right foot to buckle the football in the middle, passing the opponent!

But Wang Guangwei didn't stop after passing the ball, but accelerated forward. When Chen Xingyi dunked to the middle, he decisively accelerated and slanted to the left.

Not only him, but all the players of the Chinese team rushed out of their penalty area and quickly passed the midfield!

At the last moment of the game, the Chinese team, which was supposed to be unable to run, had many players rushing to the front, leaving the Paraguayan team behind!

After Chen Xingyi dunked the ball to the middle, he did not continue to dribble the ball by himself, but looked up at the situation on the right front.

He found that Hu Lai rushed to the front and just ran across the center line. Lou Jiarong was slower behind him and had not yet entered the center circle.

A little further away, Zhang Qinghuan was also gnashing his teeth and running wildly, and tended to move closer to the middle.

Chen Xingyi crossed the football with a sideways kick and passed it to Zhang Qinghuan in the distance.

At this time, Hu Lai had already run to the middle of the two Paraguayan players who hurried back to the defense, and in front of them was the endless "prairie".

He turned his head and saw Brother Huan catching the ball, so he immediately made a gesture asking Brother Huan to pass the ball to him.

The Paraguayan midfielder Alejadro Gonzalez, who was defending in the middle, quickly accelerated to get closer to Hou Lai, and at the same time returned to defend another Paraguayan player in the ribs, their right back Dario Ce Govia also moved to the middle, preparing to pinch the most threatening player of the Chinese team.

Seeing this, Zhang Qinghuan, who had already taken two steps, decisively distributed the football to Luo Kai who was approaching his ribs from the left!

※※※

When Luo Kai received the ball, the Chinese team had pushed the football to the 30-meter zone of Paraguay!

Eye-popping fast!

It's hard to imagine that this is a collective charge initiated by a team that is not physically dominant!

If there were any Chinese fans in the stands who were sitting and watching the game, they all stood up now, leaned forward, cheered, and stared at the football field below without blinking.

No... not just in the stands.

In the living rooms of countless families, in countless bars, teahouses, restaurants, food stalls, those city squares..., wherever the live broadcast signal can be received, at this moment, no one can still sit and watch the game up!

Hundreds of millions of faces stared at the gleaming screen, they opened their mouths and forgot to make a sound, and even maintained the posture just now, motionless as if they had been enchanted and turned into statues.

Only the on-site shouts and commentary came from the sound system: "Zhang Qinghuan went straight! Great shot, Luo Kai—"

※※※

Zhang Qinghuan passed the ball ahead of time, instead of directly passing it to Luo Kai's feet, he passed it in front of the latter, so that Luo Kai could directly catch up with the football and enter the penalty area without slowing down.

Luo Kai did exactly this. When he caught up with the football, he had already entered the penalty area!

Then...he neither stopped the ball nor cut inside, but lifted his left foot and swept the football away!

When Hu Lai saw the football being passed to Luo Kai, he was afraid that he would run offside, so he lightly stepped on the brakes before entering the penalty area.

So with Luo Kai's cross pass, he couldn't keep up.

Nor did Luo Kai pass it on to him.

The football passed near the penalty spot and went straight to the back point. There is……

"Wang Guangwei!"

He Feng roared loudly.

The person who appeared behind the Paraguayan penalty area was the Chinese team's central defender Wang Guangwei!

He ran all the way from the corner kick. Most of the time, no one looked at him until the football was passed by Luo Kai. Many people were shocked to find that a central defender had already reached the goal of Paraguay!

And there is no defense!

Paraguayan goalkeeper Almiron followed the football back and fell to the ground, throwing himself at Wang Guangwei!

He wants to block Wang Guangwei's shot!

But Wang Guangwei didn't want to shoot. He stretched out his foot and passed the football from Luo Kai back lightly, and passed it to the middle!

There, Hu Lai, who lightly stepped on the brakes before entering the penalty area, finally arrived.

At this time, Alejadro Gonzalez was attracted by Wang Guangwei, and Dario Segovia went to defend Luo Kai.

So much so that in front of the huge goal, there was not a single Paraguayan defensive player, and the goal in front of him was empty. Goalkeeper Almiron was falling at Wang Guangwei's feet, looking back in horror.

There are already huge cheers rushing up from the stands of the Lotus Stadium, rushing to the sky!

"Hu Lai——!!!!"

In the eyes of everyone, Hu Lai gently raised his right foot and swept across his body.

The football was swept into the goal that was close at hand!

"The goal has been scored——!!!" He Feng shouted hoarsely, "The goal has been scored!! 3:3! The Chinese team equalized the total score and still have an away goal advantage! We are only... a few days away from the World Cup Minutes! This will definitely be a goal that will be recorded in the history of Chinese football! Its value cannot be measured by money! Because it carries the expectations of the 1.5 billion Chinese people!"
