Chapter 179

Serbian players are physically and technically stronger than the Chinese team. Now that they have scored, their confidence and morale have been greatly improved, and their offensive power has increased sharply.

The Chinese team's defense line was suddenly shaky under the opponent's fierce attack. In the last few minutes of the first half, Jiang Xiaolin assisted Wang Yongbai to score a goal to give the Chinese team a 2-0 lead. The ease was no longer seen.

As mentioned earlier, no matter how the Football Committee makes trouble or how the fans scold, as players, they are born to pursue victory, and no one does not want to win.

Therefore, seeing that the opponent's offensive is so fierce, the Chinese team players also began to defend more desperately.

As they were not as good as the opponent in terms of technology and physical strength, the Chinese team players began to use fouls to stop the opponent.

Originally, a friendly match would not have been so necessary, but the Chinese team had not defeated a European team for too long.

The previous victory over the Belgrade regional selection team was not of high gold content, and everyone did not think it was a real victory over a European team.

Therefore, everyone wanted to win this game very much. Especially when they were leading 2-0, everyone felt that victory was in their bag.

Now that they saw the other team scored a goal, they were only one goal ahead, which was not safe, and the Chinese players were a little anxious.

In addition, the opponent's offensive was more fierce, and the Chinese players were limited in strength. Some of them could not resist and could only start to foul.

As for the friendship of the friendly match, they could no longer care about so much.

Once Serbia's attack entered the 30-meter area of ​​the Chinese team, the Chinese players began to pull and collide, and made small movements, deliberately using some ways that could not reach the yellow card but could foul to interrupt the opponent's attack.

Although this inevitably gave the opponent some free kicks, it was better than the opponent dribbling into the penalty area.

However, there was no outstanding free kick master in this Serbian Olympic team. The Chinese team gave the opponent several free kicks in the front court, but they failed to score the ball. There was not even a threatening penalty kick. It was either hit on the wall or flew high over the crossbar.

This situation made the Chinese players bolder and more reckless in committing fouls.

Serbia, of course, was not helpless.

They also accelerated their passing and running speed, using faster passing and cutting to deal with China's dense defense and foul tactics, striving to enter China's penalty area.

Although there were more mistakes, the game rhythm was faster and China was less adapted. Even if Serbia made a passing error, it was difficult for China to grasp it. In most cases, the ball was quickly snatched away by Serbian players.

Only in the 68th minute did China steal the ball and make a successful counterattack. Unfortunately, Hao Junmin's cross from the bottom was slightly higher. Jiang Xiaolin grabbed the first point under the interference of the opponent's defender, but it was very reluctant to head the ball directly over the crossbar, and failed to threaten the goal.

After this counterattack, China failed to create any threats.

Serbia's fierce attack and the accelerated pace of the game made the Chinese team's midfield and backcourt unable to take care of themselves, and they had no ability to assist Jiang Xiaolin.

As the saying goes, there is no unbreakable defense on the football field.

In the continuous high-pressure attack of Serbia, the Chinese team finally made a major mistake in the 72nd minute.

In the 72nd minute, Serbia's front midfielder Ivanovic made a wonderful pass and passed the ball into the Chinese team's penalty area. The forward Rijiqi appeared in the penalty area in time through a smart run, received Ivanovic's wonderful pass, adjusted the ball, and moved closer to the goal to prepare for a shot.

At this moment, the defender Wan Houliang, who had been thinking in his mind that he must not let the opponent score, was excited and made a flying tackle from the side.

As a result, the ball was not scooped, but Rijiqi was scooped down in the penalty area.

"Beep...beep..."

A sharp whistle sounded, and the referee immediately blew a foul on Wan Houliang and rushed in from outside the penalty area to prevent the players from both sides from clashing.

There was no conflict, because Rijiqi was not injured and stood up immediately.

On the contrary, Wan Houliang saw the referee blowing the whistle and running towards him, and he immediately realized something. He immediately got up and argued with the referee, trying to make the referee believe that he had shoveled the ball and then knocked Rijiqi down, and there was no foul.

But this kind of quibbling is meaningless. This ball is very obvious, it is a foul in the penalty area.

The referee gave Wan Houliang the ultimate punishment of a yellow card + penalty kick.

After arguing for a while and failing to change the referee's decision, the captain Li Weifeng pulled Wan Houliang away to avoid angering the referee and directly giving him a red card.

Although it was just a friendly match, the referee's majesty was stillIt is untouchable.

Afterwards, the players of both teams stood outside the penalty area, waiting for Rijiqi, who created the penalty kick, to take the penalty kick.

Rijiqi took a few steps to run up, and then volleyed the ball into the lower right corner.

Although goalkeeper Qiu Shengjiong jumped in the right direction, he was out of reach and could only watch the ball go into the net.

Suddenly, the Serbian fans in the sky cheered and screamed excitedly.

It was really not easy.

As a European team, they were actually led 2-0 by a Chinese team from Asia in the first half, which really made them feel aggrieved.

Although there is a star player in the Chinese team who can score a lot of goals in the Dutch league, it is unforgivable in their eyes.

Fortunately, the team's performance in the second half finally got on track, and the two sides returned to a 2-2 draw, on the same level.

This gave Serbian fans hope of a reversal.

If the team finally won the game from 0-2 down to a comeback, it would be more exciting than just leading the team to win the game.

Therefore, the Serbian fans in the stands did not calm down after applauding and cheering, but continued to sing the Serbian national anthem to cheer for the Serbian team.

The Chinese team was a little demoralized.

After all, it was too frustrating to be tied by the opponent after leading by two goals.

Fortunately, Dujkovic kept shouting on the sidelines, asking everyone to calm down and continue to play defensive counterattacks firmly, and not to panic and press out to attack the opponent.

As long as the defense line is stable and Jiang Xiaolin is in front, the Chinese team will always have the power to counterattack.

If the team presses out to attack the opponent, the defense will be weakened. With Serbia's offensive ability, the Chinese team may lose more balls.

Under Dujkovic's constant command, although the morale of the Chinese team was somewhat hit, the game continued to implement the previous defensive counterattack tactics, waiting for the opportunity to counterattack with a fatal blow.

On the Serbian side, although the morale of the Chinese team was affected to some extent and the strength of the team was reduced, they did not seize it. There were two good shooting opportunities, but they did not threaten and failed to score another goal to reverse the score during this period.
