The sixth professional football player who started with Manchester United

Chapter 136 Columbia 4
"Everyone, the performance in the first half was very good. Gunter, don't worry about conceding the ball, okay? In the second half, we will continue to play like this. We will continue to increase the intensity of the opponent from the midfield, and don't give the opponent too much space to make moves easily. ,Understand?"

"Yes."

Koeman, who returned to the locker room, also affirmed the performance of the players, and also comforted Gunter who made a mistake at the beginning of the first half. However, Gunter's performance after that ball was still very good. The blocking and defensive grabbing points are both done very well.

Soon after the 15-minute break, players from both sides returned to the court.

Soon the second half of the game started with the referee's whistle.

If the money and 40 minutes in the first half belonged to Colombia, then in the second half the situation changed.

Just after the start of the second half, Wales ushered in an excellent opportunity.

In the 48th minute of the game, Bell and Ramsey switched positions, and then took the ball in front of the penalty area in the middle and was knocked down by the opponent. The referee also decisively awarded Wales an excellent free kick in the frontcourt.

After seeing this penalty, more than 1 Welsh fans in the stands cheered immediately.

Because this is definitely a good opportunity for Wales to overtake the score, and they know very well that there is a free kick master in Wales.

Sure enough, when Dabao stood at the penalty spot, the Welsh fans cheered even louder.

And Dabao didn't let them down. A free kick about 24 meters away from the goal doesn't require too much run-up distance, and what he pursues is the ultimate arc and angle.

Although the speed of the ball is not fast, the chosen angle is indeed extremely tricky, and the arc of the football flying in the air is as beautiful as a painting to many fans in the stands and in front of the TV.

Football has finally reached an absolute dead end.

Ospina lay on the ground looking at the football bouncing in the goal, his eyes even looked a little desperate. He had tried his best to save this save, but he still couldn't stop the football.

2 to 1, in the 50th minute of the game, Dabao scored twice to help Wales complete the overtake in the score, and this goal was also Dabao's seventh goal in this World Cup.

He has already led Ronaldo by 2 goals in the scorer list.

Smiling and proud of the entire scorer list.

Look at who is chasing behind him, Ronaldo, Muller, Benzema, Messi!
And compared to these people, Dabao, who is a defensive midfielder, is even more valuable and special.

The happiest person at this time, after Wales, is probably Inter Milan. They found that they had made a very good deal, and the one who regretted it the most was Manchester United. After this World Cup, Dabao's worth will definitely increase. There is a big flyover.

But now it has nothing to do with them.

Soon after the game restarted, Pekerman also quickly adjusted the lineup and tactics. The formation also changed from the original 442 to a 433 formation. It was obvious that Colombia was going to fight hard.

Koeman also quickly made adjustments, replacing a midfielder and adding a defender, and Wales began to play a defensive counterattack tactic.

In this way, Colombia gradually took control of the situation on the field.

The ruthless Colombia still put enough pressure on Wales.

In the 59th minute of the game, Ronaldo took advantage of his teammates' position and ran counterattack to get rid of Dabao who was guarding him. Then he also received a pass from his teammates. The moment he caught the ball, he made a pass without stopping, and on the other side Gutierrez accelerated past the Welsh defense.

In an instant, an anti-offside call was made, and Gutierrez scored alone.

But it is a pity that the Welsh goalkeeper attacked very quickly this time. Almost at the moment when Gutierrez received the ball, the Welsh goalkeeper also arrived and threw the ball directly under him. Wales escaped.

10 minutes later, Colombia's offensive came back.

This time, it was Guarin's long shot from outside the penalty area, but the Welsh goalkeeper made a move, and the people in the penalty area were turned on their backs. Fortunately, Dabao retreated into the penalty area to participate in the defense, and kicked the ball out of the sideline in front of everyone.

Colombia's offensive momentum is rising one after another. The game is very tense and fierce. The fans of both sides in the stands are very nervous at this moment.

But with the passage of time, Wales seems to have gradually adapted to the opponent's offense, and the defense on the field is not as embarrassing as it was at the beginning. Dabao still has the upper hand in the contest with Ronaldo. .

Slowly and even as time went by, the mentality of the Colombian players changed and became a little impatient. Although Pekerman on the sidelines made special adjustments for such a situation, the changes he received were not the same. It is insignificant, but in Wales, the bigger and the more stable it is.

At this time, 87 minutes of the game had passed on the court, and there were less than 10 minutes left after counting stoppage time.

Just when everyone thought the dust had settled, there was a scene on the field that made Koeman regretful.

Ledley, who was playing as a midfielder on the field, suddenly made a pass error at this time. The pass that was supposed to be a ground ball to Dabao was too weak, so it was intercepted by Gualin halfway, and Dabao was facing the ball. The ball came running, so at the moment when he switched from offense to defense, Dabao also lost his defensive target J Luo. After Guarin controlled the ball, he sent the ball directly to the frontcourt with an overhead ball, and the direction was exactly The direction where J Lo is.

Ronaldo desperately accelerated to grab the ball first, while Dabao was also accelerating towards the opponent.

While running, Dabao commanded his teammates in the back line to intercept the opponent one by one, hoping to slow down the opponent, but Ronaldo showed the performance that a team core should have at this time, facing the Welsh central defender , a sudden change of direction after continuous cycling caused the defensive player to lose its center of gravity.

But fortunately, this action also slowed down Ronaldo's dribbling speed. Dabao, who was sprinting with all his strength, was already very close to the opponent behind Ronaldo, but what was not good for Wales was that Ronaldo got rid of the central defender. With the opportunity to face the goalkeeper, Dabao looked at the distance between himself and the opponent, and then looked at the direction of the goal.

I also know that I have no choice.

Immediately, a sliding shovel under accelerated sprint rushed directly to Ronaldo.

The referee also put the whistle in his mouth, and then Ronaldo, who was just about to shoot, heard the exclamations of his teammates behind him. Dabao also had a foot to protect the opponent at the last moment, but even so, Ronaldo was directly shot. Put down.
