Chapter 698

But Mbappe didn't stop the ball!

With his arms in front and behind to maintain balance, Mbappe's right leg has begun to tilt, which then helps his body bounce slightly, while his left foot uses the bounce of his right leg to directly hit Giroud's pass!

French fans are all watching Mbappe!

Unai Simon had his vision blocked by Rodri, and when he saw Mbappe's shot, he would definitely be a step slower to make another save!

Laporte ran towards the goal and wanted to make a final interception, but Mbappe's shot made Spain no longer lead and allowed France to equalize the score!

French fans in the stands are celebrating for Mbappe!

They know that Mbappe will never perform poorly in big competitions, and past World Cups have proven this!

"Mbappe received a pass from Giroud and helped France equalize with Spain!"

"Giroud, Giroud! As soon as Deschamps put him on the pitch, he helped Mbappe score. It had to be the duo from the last World Cup, which would have been more effective!"

"In fact, sometimes it's not the combination of two stronger players that will produce a stronger final effect. It's like someone will burst out with more power when someone assists them. I always think Giroud is an assisting center forward!"

Laporte didn't notice that Giroud suddenly ran towards him, and Griezmann's pass was obviously intended for him.

So it seemed that the French team did not attack themselves at the beginning, but when they started to attack, they wanted to attack their own side instead of attacking Rodri.

After Laporte reacted, the French team shifted the attacking point from themselves to Rodri, thus scoring a goal!

Zabia was determining with Xavi whether the French team should attack Laporte or Rodri. In the end, the two of them agreed that the French team should score a goal by attacking Rodri through Mbappe!

"Don't let the French captain pass the ball. Mbappe and Giroud can switch positions as they please, but don't let them pass the ball long!"

The best way to defend against such an attack is not to let Laporte follow Mbappe all the time, but to prevent Griezmann or Pogba from passing the ball.

Then Jero found Lin Chen.

"I want you to keep trying. Whenever Griezmann or any other French player wants to pass the ball long, let Pedri and Olmo go for him at the same time."

"If you can intercept the ball, that's even better. If you can't, force the French team to make a short pass, and then Busquets and you can intercept it together."

“After the interception, no matter where you are with the ball, you must get as close to the French team’s penalty area as possible. You don’t have to enter the penalty area, or even get too close to the large penalty area. As long as you feel you have entered a place where you can threaten Lori, you shoot!”

"You can try any method you want, just keep trying. Even if you miss or hit it too high, or it goes wide, or it's blocked by the French defender, I don't care what the result is. I just want you to keep trying!"

"Then tell Olmo and Pedri that whenever you shoot, both of them must be in the penalty area!"

If any other coach said this, it would be considered extremely amateurish. What's the difference between letting a player try aimlessly and wasting opportunities like this?

Even Lin Chen couldn't score every shot.

But what Lin Chen is most satisfied with himself for all these years is that he has always been willing to listen to the arrangements of the head coach. Lin Chen regards this as a very good cooperative relationship, so since Hierro said so, he will definitely do so!

After the semi-finals resumed, judging from the real-time reactions and expressions of all the fans at the scene, both the French and Spanish teams were not sure whether they could beat their opponents, but they also seemed somewhat certain that they could beat their opponents.

Hierro and Deschamps have officially started their own game!

The 61th minute of the game!

Griezmann was still running back. He was not forced by Lin Chen, but he was willing to do it on his own initiative, because in this way he could continue to make long passes to Giroud, and then create similar opportunities for the French team!

"Chase him, Pedri, keep chasing him!"

Lin Chen immediately shouted at Pedri. Although Pedri played in the midfield, he was not jogging slowly. When he ran towards Griezmann, Olmo also started running towards Pogba.

Lori was holding the ball, and his original plan was to pass it to either Griezmann or Pogba, but now both of them were blocked, so he could only pass it short to Kante.

Kante didn't make long passes easily, and his long passes couldn't find a landing point too far away.

Rabiot could only receive Kante first, and the French team started playing short passes again. When Rabiot was about to receive the ball, Lin Chen appeared, and together with Busquets, he first blocked the route that Rabiot could pass the ball back to Kante, and then blocked the route that Rabiot could pass the ball to Giroud. In this way, Rabiot could only choose to pass the ball to Mbappe in the end.

This time Laporte goes out early!

Lin Chen also rushed towards Laporte and quickly surrounded Mbappe. Although Mbappe was very capable, Lin Chen's ability to steal the ball was equally outstanding!

Laporte seized the opportunity and used his body to confront Mbappe, causing the latter to be busy protecting the ball and forget to observe Lin Chen's position. Lin Chen took the opportunity to rush forward and steal the ball from Mbappe!

Then he turned around and passed the ball to Busquets, who then passed it to the front for him!

Pedri and Olmo were both sprinting towards the French team's penalty area. Saravia cleverly pulled Kante. Pogba just wanted to protect his own defender first, so he did not immediately grab Lin Chen.

Then he saw Lin Chen in front of him, shooting directly from a place some distance away from the penalty area!

Although the distance was far, Lin Chen's shot was of high quality, forcing Lori to make a save!

“Why are you knocking here?”

"This shouldn't be Lin Chen's choice. He would never make such a useless shot in the past!"

Scholes didn't think this was Lin Chen's shooting style, but soon after that Lin Chen began to shoot this way frequently.

Time and time again, and judging from the reaction of Hierro's coaching team, it was obviously not surprising, so this was the task that Hierro gave to Lin Chen!

"Yero intends to let Lin Chen keep trying like this?"

"Is this the right way to kick?"
