Chapter 5 Marseille Slalom

As the game progressed, Costa Rica's strength advantage began to show, and they gradually gained an advantage in controlling the ball. The Chinese team fell into relative passivity and could only deal with its opponents with defensive counterattacks.

However, it was under this situation that the Chinese team actually gained more opportunities than when it had previously controlled the ball.

In the 37th minute, the Chinese team got a free kick on the right side of the midfield. Yin Jun took the initiative to pass the free kick. Because this position is not far in front of the center line, there is no chance to directly attack the goal, and none of his teammates have any chance.

After fighting with him, Yin Jun successfully won the free throw right.

Yin Jun sent the ball to the left wing of the penalty area with his big foot, and found Li Weifeng, who was nicknamed "Big Head". Li Weifeng beat his opponent with a header. Although he was cleared, he still posed some threat to Costa Rica's goal.

The teammates were quite satisfied with the free kick taken by Yin Jun, especially Li Weifeng, who gave him a thumbs up from a distance.

………………

When Costa Rica's next attack ended and the Chinese team got the ball and started to counterattack, Yin Jun caught the ball near the midline. He observed that Su Maozhen in the frontcourt was only surrounded by the opponent's No. 4, and immediately made a long pass and sent the ball

Arriving at the empty space next to Su Maozhen.

However, when Su Maozhen got the ball in the struggle with the opponent's No. 4, he was called for a foul. The referee ruled that Su Maozhen pulled the opponent's jersey during the fight for the ball.

A minute later, the Chinese team counterattacked again, and Yin Jun sent a long pass near the midfield, accurately finding Yang Chen on the striker. Although Yang Chen fought for the point, under the protection of two defensive players, he

Unable to choose to get rid of it, he chose to header the ball back to Yu Genwei, but he still failed to pose any threat to Costa Rica's goal.

Although several attacks failed to achieve any results, Yin Jun still won the trust of several teammates in the frontcourt with several accurate passes.

In the 40th minute, Costa Rica attacked. On their left, Wanqiaopu got rid of Xu Yunlong. Seeing that Wanqiaopu was about to enter the penalty area, Xu Yunlong could only choose to foul and gave his opponent a corner very close to the penalty area.

Nearby free kick.

Costa Rica's free kick into the penalty area went to the back post. The Costa Rica player who received the ball was unable to shoot and chose to pass it back to the center. But before the Costa Rica player receiving the ball in the center could control the ball, Li Tie, who quickly grabbed it, intercepted it.

Got the ball.

When Li Tie fell to the ground, he kicked the ball to Su Maozhen beside him, and Su Maozhen passed the ball to Yang Chen.

Yang Chen received a pass from Su Maozhen near the center circle, and he strode forward with the ball. Separated by two Costa Rican players on his left was Yu Genwei, who was quickly advancing; and behind him on the right, Yin Jun was also quickly advancing.

Insert.

Yang Chen quickly dribbled the ball to the front of the opponent's penalty area, and at this time there were already two Costa Rican players defending in front of him. Yu Genwei on the left was also followed closely by Costa Rican players, and there was no good chance.

Just when Yang Chen was about to take a shot, a voice came from behind him: "Brother Yang, pass forward!"

It’s Yin Jun!

………………

Yang Chen was surprised. The Chinese team's counterattack just now was too fast. He thought that no one on his side could keep up with such a fast counterattack, but he didn't expect that Yin Jun actually followed up.

Yang Chen still knew something about Yin Jun's speed. He just hesitated for less than half a second and chose to push the ball forward.

Because Yang Chen had such a brief hesitation, the Costa Rica players had discovered Yin Jun's forward penetration. One of their defensive players was already moving towards the baseline, preparing to defend Yin Jun's forward penetration.

Yin Jun was worried about offside and chose to brake with some disappointment. However, the next moment Yin Jun discovered that Yang Chen still passed the ball forward, and he immediately chose to start again.

Yang Chen's hesitation not only shook Yin Jun, but also made the opponent's defensive player hesitate. This made his defense slightly slower by half a beat, allowing Yin Jun to control the ball near the baseline.

When the opponent's defensive player started to defend Yin Jun for the second time, because he was half a beat late, he had no choice but to throw his whole body out to prevent Yin Jun from choosing to cross or shoot directly. But Yin Jun neither

He chose to pass the ball instead of shooting directly. He chose to dunk the football back, thereby avoiding the opponent's flying defense.

However, when Yin Jun slid the ball along the baseline into the penalty area, another defensive player from the opponent was in place, blocking Yin Jun's way to the small penalty area. Moreover, not far from the Costa Rican defensive player, there was

Two Costa Rican defensive players.

If Yin Jun chooses to continue to break through at this time, let alone whether he can get past the Costa Rican defensive player in front of him, even if he does, he will be blocked by the other two Costa Rican defensive players, not to mention the Costa Rican who is moving towards the near post.

goalkeeper.

It seems that Yin Jun has reached a dead end!

………………

It may be said that it is delayed and that it may be said quickly. These situations all happened in just one or two seconds.

Just when people thought that Yin Jun was trapped in a dead end and the Chinese team's counterattack came to an end, Yin Jun made an action that no one expected. He spiked the ball with his right foot and rotated a hundred times with his left foot as the axis.

Eighty degrees, from facing the near post to facing away from the near post.

After completing the rotation, Yin Jun stood still on his right foot, leaned his back against the Costa Rican player who was guarding him, completed the volley with his left foot, and kicked towards the door frame where he felt.

At that moment, the ball was like a cannonball being discharged from the barrel. It rose up from the ground at an extremely fast speed, passed through the gap between the people, roared towards the back goal post, and got in near the intersection of the back goal post and the crossbar.

Net.

At that moment, everyone was stunned. No one thought that Yin Jun would complete the shot in this way and score the ball!

Yin Jun himself was a little surprised. At that moment, in the blink of an eye, he made such a shot based entirely on his instinctive reaction.

After seeing the ball go into the goal, Yin Jun turned around and ran towards the corner flag area with his hands raised, where there were many Chinese fans watching the ball.

The Chinese team's offensive players also reacted at this time. Following Yin Jun, they also rushed towards the corner flag area.

Further away, the players in the Chinese team's backcourt also reacted, and they also rushed forward with cheers.

At the other end of the court, goalkeeper Jiang Jing jumped up on the spot, and then screamed and jumped alone in the small penalty area.

In the stands, more than 20,000 Chinese fans who came to the Gwangju World Cup Stadium to watch the game let out crazy cheers. Some people even beat the drums brought into the stadium, and the rumble of the drums resounded throughout the huge stadium.
