Chapter 299

Jiang Xiaolin naturally saw the intention of the big man flying over to tackle him, but it was impossible for him to be hit by this obvious flying tackle.

The next thing was simple.

Jiang Xiaolin used his full-value ball-stopping skills to move the air ball forward, then he jumped up and took a leap, avoiding the feet of the Nigerian player Keita who was flying over, and then landed with the ball and strode towards the Nigerian half.

Because the entire Nigerian team went up to compete for the header, at this time Jiang Xiaolin was left with only the full-back Adefemi to intercept him.

All the other Nigerian players were left behind by Jiang Xiaolin.

Originally, it was an opportunity for Nigeria to use a corner kick to threaten the Chinese team, but it turned out to be an excellent counterattack opportunity for the Chinese team.

Jiang Xiaolin started by dribbling past the defense outside the penalty area, then turned around to unload the ball, dribble the ball, dodge the flying tackle, and rushed to the opponent's half with the ball. His movements were smooth and continuous, without any delay, which caused the Nigerian players who were just competing for the corner kick in the penalty area to catch up and could only watch Jiang Xiaolin rush to their own half with the ball.

Especially the two central defenders Apam and Adrie who ran into the Chinese team's penalty area excitedly to compete for the header. At this time, they were full of regrets and wanted to use their full strength and return to defense at the fastest speed.

However, even if they ran without the ball, they could not close the distance with Jiang Xiaolin, but were left further and further behind by Jiang Xiaolin.

Jiang Xiaolin's full acceleration, speed, dribbling, etc., made him not much slower than running without the ball even when he was holding the ball.

His ability to combine people with the ball due to the combination of various system skills is also world-class.

As the last line of defense, Nigerian full-back Adefemi didn't dare to rush forward. He could only retreat while trying to block Jiang Xiaolin's route to break through with the ball, so as to avoid being broken through by Jiang Xiaolin and forming a single knife, and wait for his teammates to return to defense in time and double-team Jiang Xiaolin.

But his retreat speed was not at the same level as Jiang Xiaolin's forward speed.

When Jiang Xiaolin rushed across the center line with the ball and the distance between him and Adefemi was only three or four meters, and Adefemi was considering whether to stop and rush for a tackle, Jiang Xiaolin suddenly kicked the ball past Adefemi, and it rolled more than ten meters away.

Then Jiang Xiaolin changed direction and accelerated, and rushed from the other side of Adefemi's body.

Jiang Xiaolin used the ball-pass and speed to eat Adefemi alive.

This time the ball-pass was not sudden, because the two sides were still three or four meters away.

But Adefemi was still powerless.

Because he had to keep an eye on Jiang Xiaolin's direction while retreating. Although he turned around and chased the ball after Jiang Xiaolin kicked it out, it was still a little affected.

As a result, he encountered Jiang Xiaolin's even faster acceleration.

So, when he turned his body and chased the ball kicked out by Jiang Xiaolin at full speed, Jiang Xiaolin had already passed him from the side, caught up with the ball kicked out by Jiang Xiaolin himself, and then rushed to the Nigerian penalty area with the ball.

Adefemi was stuck behind Jiang Xiaolin. At first, he could still pull and drag him, but Jiang Xiaolin's strong body and balance attributes made his slight pulling have no effect at all.

Even after one or two seconds, Jiang Xiaolin had opened up the distance between him and him, and he couldn't even commit a foul.

Jiang Xiaolin once again used his speed to turn the counterattack into a single-handed meeting.

All the Chinese fans in the stands have stood up and are looking forward to it.

Nigerian fans booed loudly, trying to affect Jiang Xiaolin's performance.

But Jiang Xiaolin is no longer a rookie in the Eredivisie. With the system plug-in, he has no effect on his performance, whether at home or away, whether the fans boo or cheer.

Moreover, his competitive state has been increased to 100% by the system in this game.

This means that he can play his best without interference.

Will Jiang Xiaolin make a mistake in this situation?

Impossible.

When Jiang Xiaolin rushed to the front of the Nigerian penalty area with the ball, the opponent's goalkeeper Fan Zejin had not yet attacked and was still standing on the small penalty area line.

It is estimated that he was concerned about Jiang Xiaolin's long-range lob.

However, is it safe to stand on the small penalty area line?

Impossible.

There was no one around Jiang Xiaolin, and he had too many choices.

Jiang Xiaolin rushed into the penalty area without stopping and came to the penalty spot in an instant.

As a last resort, Fan Zejin could only choose to rush out to save the ball, and rushed to the ball under Jiang Xiaolin's feet.

But Jiang Xiaolin volleyed the ball in advance at the moment he dived, kicking it out.Go.

The ball passed through Fan Zejin's armpit and instantly went into Nigeria's goal along the grass.

In the 25th minute, Jiang Xiaolin scored again through a counterattack, scoring twice and helping China lead Nigeria 2-0.

"Wow..."

Suddenly, the entire Shanghai Stadium was boiling inside and outside, and countless fans inside and outside the stadium screamed, cheered, and roared ecstatically, venting their excitement.

After eliminating Italy in the quarter-finals, everyone actually hoped that China could continue to work hard and eliminate Nigeria, which was obviously not as strong as Italy, in the semi-finals.

But this is just a hope.

Many people actually have a hidden worry in their hearts, fearing that China's elimination of Italy was just a matter of extreme luck and a penalty kick.

This worry reached its peak after the start of this semi-final.

With Nigeria's fierce attack in the opening stage, China seemed to have no choice but to stay still and deal with it. It was kept beaten by Nigeria in its own half and had almost no ability to fight back.

Nigeria's attack seemed even more fierce and direct than Italy's, which made the fans of Asian teams feel that they could not resist.

Jiang Xiaolin's first counterattack goal gave the fans hope and greatly alleviated the worry and fear of being eliminated.

But leading by one goal is the most insecure score on the football field, so the score of 1-0 leading by the Chinese team is not enough for all fans to celebrate boldly.

Because Nigeria's strength really seems to be much stronger than that of the Chinese team.

The subsequent game process confirmed everyone's thoughts. Nigeria relied on the players' superb personal skills to suppress the Chinese team's half-court bombardment.

But as the game progressed, ordinary fans finally found clues. It turned out that Nigeria's bombardment was only a superficial phenomenon. Most of the time, it did not threaten the Chinese team's goal or even the penalty area.

The Chinese team itself played a defensive counterattack, and the opponent itself played a 433 crazy attack tactic, so it created the illusion that the Chinese team was suppressed and beaten to a pulp on the field.

The fans regained some confidence in the game.

But as mentioned before, only one goal ahead still made everyone feel uneasy.

Finally, in the 25th minute, Jiang Xiaolin took advantage of the counterattack opportunity to score twice, helping the Chinese team to expand the lead to 2-0.

At this time, everyone can finally celebrate boldly.

The advantage of a two-goal lead cannot be said to be foolproof. But in football matches, the number of times a two-goal lead can be reversed is really pitiful.

Otherwise, the reversal would not be so precious.

Judging from the state of the Chinese team on the field today and the defensive cooperation in the midfield and backcourt, although the Nigerian players have super personal abilities, it is extremely difficult to attack the Chinese team's defense zone or even break through the Chinese team's goal.

The fact that the two-goal lead makes it very likely that the Chinese team will defeat Nigeria and advance to the Olympic finals.

Therefore, both the fans at the scene and in front of the TV celebrated quite intensely and relaxed.

This goal, in some people's minds, is even equivalent to the goal that locks the victory.

Although the game has not even started for half an hour at this time.

However, on the other hand, since they are ahead by two goals before the game has even started for half an hour, can they still lead more and win a big victory?

Don't blame the fans for being greedy.

Because this is a very normal mentality.

If you can win more, why not?

It's the same as making money. If you can make more, why refuse it?

Of course, at this time, everyone is still celebrating the goal and celebrating the two-goal lead of the Chinese team.

As for the rest, only a few fans will think about it.

The players of the Chinese team on the field also celebrated for a long time with Jiang Xiaolin.

The 2-0 lead is indeed worth everyone's joy.

This score cannot be said to be a sure win, but it basically guarantees that the Chinese team has one foot in the final.

Everyone can already foresee the next game:

In the next game, Nigeria, who is two goals behind, can only continue to press forward and attack to score goals no matter what they think.

But this approach will obviously continue to leave Jiang Xiaolin with opportunities to counterattack in the backcourt, and if he is not careful, Jiang Xiaolin will score a counterattack goal again.

If Jiang Xiaolin scores another goal at that time, it is almost certain that the victory will be secured.

As for the situation where the opponent reverses the situation after falling behind by three goals, it is even rarer and can only be used as a reference.

Moreover, with the current full-value on-site performance of the Chinese team,State, both competitive state and psychological state are in a very healthy state, and there is no thought of underestimating the enemy.

Therefore, the three-goal lead is impossible to be reversed no matter what, it just depends on whether the Nigerians give the Chinese team a chance to score the third goal.

I think the chance is very high.

Because the Nigerians have no choice, they can only choose to attack. In that case, the Chinese team will not only have a chance to counterattack and score the third goal again, but also a very high chance.

It depends on which side will break the opponent's goal first.

Jiang Xiaolin and other Chinese players celebrated for almost half a minute before returning to their own half to wait for Nigeria to kick the ball in the middle circle.

After the game resumed, Nigeria was forced to continue to increase its offensive strength.

Although they had been awakened by Jiang Xiaolin's two counterattack goals, they knew that the Chinese team's defensive counterattack was quite restraining against their 433 crazy attack formation.

But it was too late to react at this time.

With two goals behind, they could not play the rest of the game by strengthening defense like the Chinese team.

They could only bite the bullet and continue to attack, and pray that their team would score quickly, and that the Chinese team would not score any more counterattack goals.

The individual abilities of the Nigerian players are indeed very good.

When they were two goals behind and forced into a desperate situation, they played at a good level.

In the 28th minute, Nigeria launched a threatening attack.

Winger Ensofor used a fried meatball to get past Yuan Weiwei's defense on the wing, but when the Chinese players were trying to prevent him from crossing from the bottom, Ensofor unexpectedly dribbled the ball inside and headed for the middle.

This change caught the Chinese team's defense line off guard and caused some confusion.

Of course, the 100% overall state of the team allowed the Chinese team's defenders to quickly adapt to the new situation. Naturally, some people stood up to block Ensofor's cut-in shot, and some continued to defend his cross from the bottom.

But at this moment, Ensofor, an African player who had already dribbled the ball close to the penalty area, did not take the credit, but passed the ball to the gap outside the penalty area.

Nigerian forward Ajirol, who came in from the back row, made a powerful shot and kicked the ball into the dead corner of the Chinese team's goal.

This shot was also quite threatening, because there were too many people in the penalty area, and Qiu Shengjiong was slightly blocked from sight when Ajirol shot, and the save was a little late.

But the Chinese team was lucky that the goal post helped this ball.

Ajirol's shot finally hit the post and bounced back into the penalty area, and then Qiu Shengjiong hurriedly pressed it under his body, resolving the crisis.

Although this attack did not score a goal, the shot that hit the goal post still gave the Nigerian players hope.

After Nsofor’s breakthrough on the wing, he did not make the next cross, but suddenly cut inside and made a reverse triangle pass, which also opened up a new idea for the Nigerian players, just like the change brought about by Jiang Xiaolin’s sudden change of position with his teammates in the last game.

Next, Nigeria’s wingers began to frequently break through and cut inside to shoot or make reverse triangle passes to try to assist teammates in the middle to score.

But they underestimated the 100% horror of the overall on-the-spot state of the Chinese team, and overestimated their team cooperation.

The Nigerian players had good ideas and wanted to use the new changes to break through the Chinese team’s defense line with a reverse triangle pass after breaking through the wing.

But how easy is this style of play?

First of all, the wing players must have very strong breakthrough ability, and they can also choose to go down or cut inside at the right time.

Moreover, when they want to make a reverse triangle pass, not only do they need their teammates to follow up in time in the middle and be in the gap, but the passer must also have the ability to find the gap and make a decisive pass.

Of course, the most important pass is even more crucial.

If Jiang Xiaolin's full-value long and short passes were used, there would be no problem. As long as he found an opening, he could pass the ball flawlessly.

But Jiang Xiaolin's full-value passing skills were caused by system cheating. Others, let alone the African players from Nigeria, even the top midfield masters from Brazil and Spain, could not pass the ball wherever they pointed.

Since it is impossible to pass the ball wherever they pointed, facing the Chinese team with an overall state of 100%, do you still want to expect the ball to continue to roll in front of the target teammate and give the teammate a good space to shoot?

Finally, even if everything goes well in the front, and the players following up in the middle do receive the ball and complete the shot, but their shooting skills are as good as Jiang Xiaolin's, can they guarantee that most of them will hit the goal frame and pose a threat?

Impossible!

Therefore, in the face of the strong overall performance of the Chinese team,The new tactics of the Nigerian players did not achieve any effect at all.

Either the wingers could not pass the ball inside, or even if the ball was passed, the line and speed were not good, or it was directly intercepted by the Chinese players in the middle.

The limited opportunities that finally fell to the feet of the Nigerian players were wasted by their ordinary shooting skills, and it was difficult to pose a substantial threat to the Chinese team's goal.

From the 28th minute, Nsofor suddenly gave up the bottom cross and cut inside to assist with the inverted triangle pass. By the 40th minute, more than ten minutes had passed, and Nigeria had only completed two shots through this tactic.

As a result, the two shots outside the penalty area after the inverted triangle pass did not hit the goal frame. One missed the post and the other was higher than the crossbar.

Nigeria's new tactics did not achieve the results they wanted.
