Chapter 210 Fighting Costa Rica Again

The Chinese team flew back to Miami from Los Angeles in a hurry, and ushered in the third game of this American training in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.At that time, the Chinese team was facing a desperate situation, but Yin Jun's hat-trick saved the Chinese team and brought the Chinese team a good start to the World Cup.

This time, more than a year later, the two sides met again in a foreign country, and ushered in another battle between dragons and tigers.

As UEFA's Best Midfielder and Most Valuable Player of the Year, Yin Jun is naturally under the watchful eye of Costa Rica.He took the ball for the first time, just as he turned around with the ball, he was hit by Costa Rica's midfielder. He staggered and lost the ball.

But the referee didn't call the opponent a foul, because it was a very standard and reasonable collision. Costa Rica's attack on the midfielder was very well grasped, and he seized the opportunity to use his body when Yin Jun just turned around and his footing was not stable. When the advantage hits, you don't need to use too much force, but you can get good results, such as this defense.

………………

"...Yin Jun was strictly defended by Costa Rica!" CCTV broadcast the game, commentator Huang Jianqiang said, "As soon as he gets the ball, there will be Costa Rican players to force him to restrict him... It can be seen , the opponent in this match attaches great importance to Yin Jun. Of course, with Yin Jun's current status, he deserves the opponent's attention..."

Seeing this scene on the coaching bench, Ali Han shook his head and said to his assistant coach Wu Jingui: "I still imagined that the other party would not pay so much attention to Yin Jun..."

Wu Jinggui laughed and said, "Aren't you joking? Yin Jun scored a hat-trick against Costa Rica in the World Cup last year. Costa Rica dared to take him lightly? And he was the best player in the Champions League final last season, and he was just elected UEFA's best player of the year." Isn't it normal for opponents to value him?"

Alihan smiled, shook his head and said, "That's right, I'm too wishful thinking... Now the problem is troublesome. The opponent obviously focuses on defending Yin Jun. I'm afraid it will be difficult for Yin Jun to play well in this game."

Wu Jingui smiled and said: "With Yin Jun's strength, it is very difficult for Costa Rica to defend him. It is also a good time to see what Yin Jun can do against Costa Rica's level of targeted defense."

Alihan nodded, agreeing with the assistant coach's words.

Ali Han has been coaching the Chinese team for more than half a year. The team's performance fluctuates and the offense is weak. He is also facing tremendous pressure.And Yin Jun is the well-deserved core of the Chinese team that Ali Han intends to form, and it is also his hope.

In fact, no matter who is coaching the Chinese team, it is impossible for Yin Jun not to be taken seriously, unless his brain is showing off.

Who can throw away a superstar who can win the Champions League Golden Boot and the Champions League assists, and use other ordinary players?

Now Costa Rica is a good whetstone for Yin Jun. He wants to use Costa Rica to sharpen a sharp knife for the Chinese team.

………………

After Yin Jun lost possession of the ball, he didn't scream and rolled on the ground, trying to attract the referee's attention.Also, when the referee didn't whistle the opponent for a foul, he couldn't roll on the ground, but simply turned around and chased him back.Halfway through the run, Costa Rica's attack failed and was interrupted by the Chinese team to fight back. He turned around and ran forward again.

However, before the football passed, Yin Jun had an extra Costa Rican defensive player beside him.

No guesswork, no feeling, the facts were in front of him - Costa Rica defended him very tightly, especially after entering the 30 meters zone.

This kind of game state is not at the same level as the defensive pressure he received in last year's World Cup.

Yin Jun doesn't care about Costa Rica's tighter defense against him, because since his performance has become better and better, the defensive pressure he has faced in the Premier League and the Champions League has always been very high, even far exceeding the pressure he faced in this game. He has long been used to it.

Facing Premier League giants like Arsenal, Chelsea, and Liverpool, and super teams like Real Madrid, Juventus, and AC Milan, the pressure of the game is really great!
The only thing that makes Yin Jun feel the pressure is that he has strong support from his teammates in Manchester United, and in the national team, the strength of his teammates is more than one level worse than that of Manchester United.Not only does he not get much support, he has to consider the situation of his teammates when passing the ball, and he cannot pass the ball according to the rhythm of passing to Ruud van Nistelrooy and other top stars.

………………

"Yin Jun is asking for the ball! Although he has been closely guarded by Costa Rica one after another, he has not flinched!" He Wei said loudly.

The football was passed, and he collided with the opponent's defender as soon as he caught the ball.Yin Jun swayed and stopped to protect the football behind him. He did not lose the ball because of this collision, but his plan to dribble the ball along the way also failed. The opponent's midfielder got stuck in a very critical position and stopped he.

After the opponent's midfielder defended Yin Jun, he did not get complacent, but stared at Yin Jun's feet intently.He saw Yin Jun swaying under his feet, as if he was going to use the outer instep of his right foot to dial the ball, but he was unmoved, because he judged that Yin Jun would not be so easy to face himself, he must have feinted, I want to lie to myself first.

Sure enough, Yin Jun's right foot went around the football, and instead of kicking the football, he quickly retracted it.

But just as he retracted his foot, he took advantage of the situation and gently flicked the football to the left, and at the same time he started it, as if intending to break through from the left.

Seeing the ball moving, Costa Rica moved his lower back to his right, and Yin Jun shifted his center of gravity to the left. He didn't know whether Yin Jun's shot was a feint, so he could only follow him. If it wasn't him, he would let it go. Did Yin Jun run away?
Yin Jun saw the opponent's shift of focus, he crossed the football with his whole body, and his right foot, which should have been waving the ball, also crossed the football, and then immediately swung back, using the outside instep of his right foot to push the football in the opposite direction.

This time it is really going to break through from here!

He veered to catch up with the football, trying to speed up the break, but was unsuccessful.Costa Rica's midfielder immediately stuck up and tackled cleanly, shoveling the football he just got up out of the sideline, and at the same time brought Yin Jun to the ground.

"No foul! No foul!" the Costa Rica commentator said again and again, "A clean tackle! This is a successful defense!"

Judging from the slow motion, it was indeed not a foul. Costa Rica's midfielder first shoveled the football, and then brought Yin Jun down because he couldn't stop the car.

………………

The Chinese team's offense failed to achieve results, but Costa Rica seized the opportunity in the 14th minute of the game and Sabrio opened the scoring.

Costa Rica, which broke the deadlock, continued to attack, wanting to take advantage of the demoralization of the Chinese team to further expand its advantage.But this also gave the Chinese team a chance.

"The Costa Rica team threw a sideline ball, but it didn't make an attack. Their ball was blocked by the Chinese team, and the Chinese team took the opportunity to launch an attack! Dangerous, hurry back to defend!" The Costa Rica commentator shouted anxiously seeing this scene stand up.

Li Tie did not give the Costa Rica team a chance to return to defense, and only used a long pass to accurately find Yin Jun who had already rushed forward.

Yin Jun unloaded the football beautifully, and then dribbled it sideways.

In this process, Li Yi, the starting forward of the Chinese team, has already rushed to the penalty area, and is about to cross Yin Jun's dribbling route.Beside him, the Costa Rica players followed closely, preventing him from getting the ball easily.

Of course, in this case, Yin Jun didn't have to pass the football to Li Yi.

He can use Li Yi's running position to help him take away the opportunity of the defensive force and try to shoot.

So he kicked around and shot, but the defense of the Costa Rica team was very tight. The central defender who blocked Yin Jun from the front stretched out his foot to block, and the football hit his leg and bounced out.

………………

The ejected football was controlled by Shao Jiayi, who followed up in time, and the Chinese team took advantage of the situation to launch a second attack.

Seeing this, Yin Jun, who had finished shooting just now, did not go to meet Shao Jiayi immediately, because his intention would be too obvious, and he had to wait for more people to come up to help him distract from the defense.

Li Tie has already pressed up, and the two full-backs of the Chinese team also advanced forward at the same time, one left and one right.But the players of the Costa Rica team are also returning to defense. It seems that the Chinese team is going to turn the fast break into a positional battle.

Sun Jihai advanced from the right and at the same time asked Shao Jiayi for the ball with gestures.

Shao Jiayi did turn to him and made the gesture of passing the ball to him, but that was just a false move by the Costa Rica player who tricked him into intercepting him head-on.

After the opponent was really deceived, he turned the football in another direction, broke through with the ball, and went straight into the penalty area.After encountering the opponent's defense, he passed the ball to Yin Jun who advanced forward.

The Costa Rica goalkeeper moved to the near corner and shouted: "Don't let him shoot!"

………………

Yin Jun adjusted his pace while running, which was obviously about to shoot directly.

Another central defender in Costa Rica stared at his right leg, lowered his center of gravity, and was ready to throw his body out at any time, blocking his shot with his leg or back!
He saw that Yin Jun's left leg was striding hard, stuck a certain distance behind the rolling football, and at the same time swung his right leg.He confirmed that Yin Jun was going to shoot directly!

So he threw his body out and shoveled towards the football while covering the angle of Yin Jun's shot.

But Yin Jun didn't shoot. Although the right leg he swung was indeed a shooting action, when he touched the football, there was a very obvious retraction action, and then he used the inside of his foot to pull the football back.

Marseille roundabout!

The Costa Rican central defender fell to the ground, stared at Yin Jun dumbfounded, then passed him and slid to the front.

Yin Jun caught up with the football and swung his right leg again, this time it was no longer a feint, he cut the football with the outside instep of his right foot!
shoot!

The football drew an arc, bypassed the Costa Rican goalkeeper's hand and rushed into the goal!
