Chapter 1972 Restart(1/2)
"Xiaoyu!"
While Luo Kai was pulling away, he turned to Xia Xiaoyu and shouted loudly, and at the same time he raised his arms.
Let everyone around him see clearly that he wants the ball.
The main thing is to give England left-back Alan Morley a clear look.
When Roquet received the ball, Alan Morley was indeed on edge.
Because he knew he had a yellow card.
If Luo Kai came to him specifically, he would be really difficult to deal with...
Just as he was thinking about it, he saw Luo Kai dribbling the ball towards him!
Mo Li had no choice but to push forward.
But just when the two were about to come into contact, Luo Kai made a gesture to break through along the sideline, then suddenly used the outside instep of his left foot to push the football to the inside, and then accelerated and rushed past Morley.
Morley originally wanted to stretch out his feet and hands to intercept, but when he thought of the yellow card on his body, he hesitated.
So I could only watch as Luo Kai slipped away from him and ran diagonally towards the middle...
Morley let go of Luo Kai so easily, which immediately put England's defense into a passive position.
Jay Adams was originally protecting the back line. When he saw Luo Kai dribbling the ball towards him, he had no choice but to step forward to fight.
At the same time, Pete Williams also returned to defense and pounced on Luo Kai.
When Zhang Qinghuan saw Luo Kai going to the middle, he went straight into the right rib of the England penalty area, temporarily occupying Luo Kai's original position, and at the same time restrained Connor Kirk, preventing the latter from surrounding Luo Kai.
Hu Lai, who was originally in the middle of the penalty area, also pulled away laterally and took center back Scott Wilson away.
At the same time, Zhou Zijing pulled out from the penalty area to meet Luo Kai.
At the same time, on the far left side, there is Chen Xingyi who is adducted.
In the direction Luo Kai was facing, there were two contact points, Zhou Zijing and Chen Xingyi.
Before Jay Adams and Pete Williams double-teamed him, he passed the football to Zhou Zijing who was retreating.
Then he staggered forward and tried to penetrate the England penalty area.
At this time, he is no longer the focus of England players.
One of the people they paid most attention to was Zhou Zijing, who was holding the ball, and the other was Hu Lai.
Seeing Zhou Zijing get the ball, Hu Lai did not go in front of the goal, but did the opposite and retreated out of the penalty area. This made Scott Wilson who was originally following him a little confused and didn't know whether he should follow him out...
When Zhou Zijing saw Luo Kai coming forward, he was ready to pass the football back to him. The two of them played a two-on-one and hit the wall to cooperate.
Unexpectedly, Luo Kai staggered, his footwork was not adjusted properly, and Zhou Zijing failed to control the ball well when he directly knocked the ball horizontally.
When Luo Kai rushed forward, the football passed behind his heels.
Luo Kai didn't catch the ball!
Just when Luo Kai thought the attack was over, he turned around and saw that Hu Lai had retreated from the penalty area at some point, using his body to carry Connor Kirk behind him, and then faced the rolling football.
Lifted my left leg!
Keep hitting the ball!
Scott Wilson saw the football being passed towards Hulay and immediately pounced on it.
Unexpectedly, Hu Lai didn't stop the ball and passed the ball directly, and the pass was in the space behind him!
Luo Kai accelerated and got into the gap between George Birx and Scott Wilson!
"Hu Lai... through the ball! Good shot! Opportunity! Luo Kai!"
The stands were filled with cheers and screams.
But when Luo Kai took the last step to chase the football, he didn't fully exert his strength. His left foot stretched out and just barely... failed to touch the ball!
The ball finally found its way into the arms of oncoming goalkeeper Tom Walker, while Luo Kai slipped to the ground on his back.
He regretfully put his head in his hands and covered his face.
"Luo Kai...poke! Oops! Oops!" He Feng sighed regretfully. "It was a little short!"
"It's good, Luo Kai! It's okay!" Seeing Luo Kai lying on the ground, Zhang Qinghuan clapped his hands hard and praised loudly.
Except for not scoring in the end, this goal can indeed be called perfect.
Luo Kai's performance was basically impeccable, and he was the one who initiated this attack.
Moreover, in the game, not every attack must be scored or not as a measure of success.
Zhang Qinghuan is keenly aware that for today's Chinese team, Luo Kai's forced attack in the middle is of great significance.
Because this is the Chinese team that once again threatened England's goal after being surrounded by the English team for so long and conceding two goals in a row.
At the very least, it can be seen that the Chinese team has regained the ability to create murderous opportunities.
Sure enough, after the initial sigh of regret, the Chinese fans in the stands also applauded and cheered for the Chinese team's attack.
The same goes for the Chinese fans in front of the TV.
"Well done! Luo Kai! This ball is beautiful!"
"Luo Kai Niubi!"
At Chu Yifan's home, alumni of Dongchuan Middle School were also cheering for their former teammates.
No one scolded Luo Kai because he didn't touch the ball just now.
Maybe there are sporadic ones, but here, absolutely none.

Jorge Dillon let out a sigh of relief after seeing Roquet miss a great opportunity on the sidelines.
Then he said to Yu Jintao beside him: "Luo has completed the restart, Yu."
After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the coaching bench, ready to sit down and rest.
Standing on the sidelines all the time is actually very tiring.
Especially for an old man like him who is already seventy years old.
Now that the situation has improved, there is no need for him to remain on the sidelines as a marker.
Upon seeing this, Yu Jintao quickly followed and returned to the coaching bench with Dillon to sit down.
※※※
On the other side of the England coaching bench, head coach Ryan Jackson made a very decisive decision.
He asked the assistant coach to call back Joseph Rogers, who had been warming up just now.
Joseph Rogers, 29 years old, is Tramed's main left back.
Jackson intends to replace Alan Morley with Rodgers.
In fact, he had no intention of substituting players so early. Rodgers was not specially called from the bench to warm up before. Instead, he and other teammates went to warm up in batches as normal.
However, after seeing Morley receive a yellow card for a tactical foul, he had the idea of substituting.
But he wasn't very sure about this idea at the time. He wanted to see Luo Kai's performance first.
If Luo Kai performs poorly as usual, it is not impossible to let Morley stay on the court for a while longer.
But when he discovered that Morley did not react in time when faced with Luo Kai's decisive cut inside, he made a decision in his heart - he had to take Alan Mo, who was afraid to make a move because he was carrying a yellow card.
Replace it with profit.
Otherwise, there will always be a time bomb in your defense that has not been defused.
He didn't want to leave any hidden dangers for himself.
Because Rogers had already completed the warm-up in advance, Ryan Jackson did not have to wait a few minutes - that might be a dangerous situation. What if the Chinese team took advantage of the window period before their substitutions to break through Morley's defense and hit the target?
Wouldn't it be bad if he scored the equalizing goal?
England completed the substitutions quickly.
Alan Morley, who was carrying a yellow card and almost made a mistake in defense just now, was substituted with his head hung low.
Joseph Rogers, who came on as a substitute, ran onto the field with his head held high.
"The England team made a substitution. This was a matchup substitution. I have to say that Ryan Jackson's adjustment was very decisive. Alan Morley, who received a yellow card, is indeed the current defender of the England team.
unstable factors..."
Matthew Cox gives thumbs up to Ryan Jackson's adjustment.
※※※
Joseph Rogers played in the 74th minute of the game. Generally speaking, players on the field will have some physical problems at this time.
This is a bottleneck period.
But if you can get through it, you can actually survive it for a while longer.
