Chapter 534 Penalties and Red Cards

After the start of the second half of the game, the Chinese team launched a wave of offensives against Mexico's penalty area amid the shouts of nearly [-] Chinese fans at the AWD Stadium. They told everyone with their actions that their goal in this game is to win ball.

And the draw is obviously not the goal of Mexico. The Mexican coach Lavolpe also showed a tough response. His team did not intend to recover the defense in the second half. The same choice to attack, continue to attack, and strive for goals to win the game.

For the opponent Chinese team, La Volpe is very aware of its weakness, that is, the defense is not solid.In the group stage of the World Cup qualifiers, the opponents were generally not strong, and the defense of the Chinese team looked pretty good, but during the quarter-finals, their defensive problems were fully revealed. In the 5 games, only the home game against Iran did not concede a goal, and the rest of the games failed to cover the perfect body.

………………

In the 71st minute of the game, Alihan replaced Shao Jiayi, who had started to have physical problems, and replaced him with Li Jinyu. The Chinese team changed into a double forward lineup and continued to strengthen their offense.

Fans applauded over the AWD stadium in Hannover, expressing encouragement to Shao Jiayi, who performed well in the game.

"Good job!" Alihan and Shao Jia clapped their hands and praised.

Mexican head coach Lavolpe also immediately made tit-for-tat adjustments. He replaced Lozano, who was not doing too well, and replaced him with Pineda, a teenager from Guadalajara, a giant in Mexico. The wide players also mean to strengthen the offense.

After 3 minutes, Alihan made another substitution. He replaced Xiao Zhanbo with Zhou Ting, who was better at attacking.

Mexico also made another substitution. Lavolpe replaced Torado and replaced him with Luis Perez, a young winger from Monterrey. This 170cm wide player is short but strong and has comprehensive skills. , Good at dribbling and passing.

Arihan glanced at the coaching bench of the visiting team. He really envied Lavolpe for having a lot of talented players available. Mexico's strength is indeed much stronger than that of the Chinese team.

………………

The head coaches of the two sides continuously dispatched troops and replaced them with offensive players. The two sides played against each other. The fans on the scene were the happiest, especially the neutral German fans. They were very excited.

Alihan and Lavolpe, the two head coaches are standing on the sidelines directing the game at this time, both of them are frowning, staring at the field, hoping to catch each other's loopholes and gaps.But both Alihan and Lavolpe shook their heads. The two teams were attacking with all their strength at this time. The offensive and defensive rhythms were fast, and the mistakes of both sides began to increase.

In this chaotic moment, the role of the head coach has been weakened, and it depends on the performance of the players on both sides.

"I hate this kind of chaotic battle." Arihan said to De Jong. He felt that he could not use his coaching talent in such a chaotic game.

At this time, an unexpected situation appeared on the field.Zhao Junzhe fell to the ground in the struggle with his opponent, with a painful expression on his face, and immediately made a gesture of substitution.

"Fake!" Arihan cursed. The Chinese team is relatively short on the defensive end. Li Tie, who played for Everton, was injured early in the season and has not yet recovered from his injury.Zhao Junzhe is considered a relatively reliable defensive midfielder, but now he is also injured, which is difficult to deal with.

Alihan hurriedly arranged for Li Xiaopeng to warm up, and at the same time nervously and closely watched the situation on the field.

With the support of the team doctor, Zhao Junzhe walked off the court slowly.There was also a burst of applause from the stands, expressing encouragement and comfort to him.

"How is it?" Alihan asked the team doctor.

"I don't know the specifics, but I'm sure I won't be able to compete in the next game."

Yo Fake!
Ali Han cursed, he could only go up to comfort Zhao Junzhe, who was in a bad mood, and then quickly called Li Xiaopeng back, and gave him face-to-face instructions.

………………

Li Xiaopeng came on as a substitute, replacing Zhao Junzhe who had already left the field due to injury.

And Alihan also changed the team again. Zhou Haibing, Li Xiaopeng and Yin Jun formed the three midfielders, and Zhou Ting, Li Jinyu and Dong Fangzhuo formed the striker trident. This is a desperate plan to attack.

"Coach Alihan showed his offensive courage." He Wei said, "The Chinese team attacked with all their strength. This is a gamble-style attack. They either score a goal or get counterattacked by Mexico to score a goal."

"Both sides are unwilling to accept a draw." Huang Qiangqiang said, "Now both sides have red eyes. In this case, an accident is often enough to change the game."

Huang Jianqiang felt that his mouth was really inlaid with gold. Just two or three minutes after he said this, something unexpected happened on the court.

Faced with Yin Jun's pressing, Mexican defender Salcido chose to pass back. Dong Fangzhuo immediately rushed to Carmona who was about to take the ball. The latter was startled and continued to pass back.

By accident, Carmona's return pass was too weak.Li Jinyu immediately rushed over like a leopard out of the cage. He approached the football before the goalkeeper and was about to shoot.

Mexican goalkeeper Osvaldo Sanchez shoveled in a hurry.Then people saw Li Jinyu fell in the penalty area in Mexico like a tree stump felled by an axe.

The referee on duty quickly made a penalty. He showed a red card to Mexico's goalkeeper Sanchez, sent off the opponent, and then awarded a penalty to the Chinese team.

This penalty caused dissatisfaction among the Mexican players on the field, and Borgetti also received a yellow card for his emotional protest.

"Penalty kick, the referee sent off Mexican goalkeeper Osvaldo Sanchez, the Chinese team won a penalty kick, and Mexican striker Borgetti also received a yellow card for his protest words." Huang Jianqiang shouted.

Lavolpe quickly made adjustments, replacing goalkeeper Ochoa, a young man who will not turn 20 until next month.Ochoa was originally the third goalkeeper of this Mexican team, but because the team's second goalkeeper caught a cold after coming to Germany, this gave Ochoa, who is the third goalkeeper, a chance to come off the bench.

The defender Carmona who had just returned a mistake was replaced, and Mexico switched to playing three defenders.

Although one person was sent off and a penalty kick was awarded, Lavolpe did not intend to admit defeat, he still wanted to gamble.

If it can't win the weakest Chinese team in Group B, it will be very difficult for Mexico to advance to the knockout round.After all, Mexico has to face world champion Brazil and European champion Greece in the next game!
