Chapter 42: Fierce Battle

Lekai is running!

Although Spain's attack is not as sharp, it can still cause them a great burden. Google search reading

Lekai's running is the most direct way to solve this problem!

In the past two games, Lekai's average running time is definitely the highest in the entire World Cup!

In terms of running distance, Lekai is undoubtedly the first.

And it is also under Lekai's tireless running that he also drives the players to build defense together.

A team always needs a leader.

Although Wang Yi is the captain, he is not the type who likes to express and demand teammates.

But Lekai is different.

As long as he enters the game state, Lekai's voice will not stop, and Lekai's voice can be heard in every corner of the stadium.

And this performance has also become the motivation for Chinese players to persist.

If Lekai runs again, then they will run with him!

They will do their best to carry out every reminder from Lekai.

Since Lekai joined the Chinese team, the progress in other aspects has not been too great, but in terms of overallness and teamwork, the Chinese team has made extremely outstanding progress.

Even head coach Liu Hongbo has lamented this, and even had an idea.

How about letting Lekai be the captain?

Wang Yi is the top star of the Chinese team, but that doesn't mean he is a qualified leader.

Wang Yi's strength is reflected in the frontcourt, but due to his personality, he will not actively motivate and demand his teammates.

In this respect, Wang Yi is not a qualified captain.

There was really no way before, picking a general from a short man, Wang Yi's various conditions were all on the passing line, although not particularly good, but not bad.

But Lekai is different.

He is already the second captain of Arsenal, and now after Vermaelen leaves, he will become the first Chinese captain of the giant Arsenal!

Lekai's experience and ability in this regard are not comparable to Wang Yi.

In Liu Hongbo's vision, Wang Yi should focus more on scoring, and other things should be left to Lekai.

Those who are capable should do more work!

And Lekai obviously does better.

Of course, this is not achieved overnight, he still needs to take his time.

Beep! ! ! !

A sharp whistle sounded in the stadium.

Lekai got up from the ground, while Cazorla lay on the ground.

A minute ago, Cazorla bypassed Lekai and passed Guanzhe directly, almost breaking into the penalty area.

Fortunately, Lekai retreated in time and knocked Cazorla to the ground with a violent sliding tackle.

He stopped Spain's attack by committing a foul.

For this, Lekai also got a yellow card!

This is Lekai's second yellow card in this World Cup.

"Lekai got a yellow card again! In the Premier League last season, he only had 8 yellow cards in the whole season, but since the World Cup, he has received two yellow cards in three games!"

Duan Xuan shook his head and said, "Our defense still exists!"

If the Chinese team's defense could be more stable, Lekai would not have used such a risky way to foul and get a yellow card.

But Lekai had no choice. Instead of letting the opponent get a chance to threaten the goal, it would be more cost-effective to get a yellow card himself!

Cazorla also got up from the ground, and he did not look at Lekai.

Although he was tackled by Lekai, Cazorla did not blame anyone in his heart.

After all, they have different identities and positions. On the level of representing the national team, no matter how good the friendship between the two is, they still tackle when they should in the game.

Spain got another chance for a set piece.

This time, Spain was obviously serious.

Ramos ran up to compete for the header in the backcourt.

This is to put more pressure on the Chinese team.

After thinking about it, Lekai handed Torres to Liu Kairui and Gao Leiliang, and he went to defend Ramos.

As soon as he got close, Ramos put one hand on Lekai's chest, trying to keep a distance.

But Lekai pushed forward abruptly, Ramos retracted his hand, and wanted to use his shoulder to hold Lekai, but Lekai suddenly retreated, and Ramos staggered a step.

At this time, the ball had been kicked out.

The ball was obviously looking for Ramos, but the latter failed to complete the jump in the first time.

They could only watch the ball fly out of the baseline.

"There's a problem with the coordination!"

The Spanish commentator shook his head and said, "The boys need to calm down. They need to think about how they played football four years ago!"

Now even the Spanish commentator couldn't stand it anymore.

What kind of shit is this!

If he wasn't commentating, he would have already started to curse.

After Ramos stood firm, he looked at Lekai.

But the latter had turned around and showed the back of his head.

Ramos narrowed his eyes slightly, and he wanted to go up and knock again.

But he didn't dare!

After all, he knocked last time and got a big slap!

After the goal kick of the Chinese team, Lekai turned around immediately after withdrawing from the penalty area and shouted, "Turn around! Catch the ball!"

The players of the Chinese team began to turn around one after another, waiting to catch the ball.

Lekai licked his dry lips and coughed lightly.

After two games, his vocal cords were damaged the most because he had to shout all the time.

Like in the two games, Lekai found a problem.

It’s easy for his teammates to get confused.

This kind of confusion is not about the game, but in the stalemate, they don't know what to do.

Sometimes they even slow down the rhythm and make some low-level mistakes.

For this reason, Lekai needs to shout and remind constantly.

Just like now, if Lekai didn't shout in time, his teammates would run forward slowly and then turn around lazily.

Laziness is contagious. If one person is like this, others will gradually start to change.

Lekai needs to prevent all this from happening.

At the same time, Lekai looked at the time again, clapped his hands and shouted; "The last ten minutes!!"

Hearing this, the Chinese players looked up at the time.

35 minutes!

There are still 10 minutes before the first half ends!

This makes the players' eyes light up.

At this point in the game, the physical energy consumed is very high.

And the weather is hot, and the water loss, they need to replenish some.

There are still ten minutes before the break, and they finally have something to look forward to.

Watching his teammates cheer up one by one, Lekai grinned secretly.

In the last ten minutes, Spain still did not give up the attack.

The Chinese team continued the previous defensive routine.

Lekai retreated very deep, and he turned directly into a central defender.

Since the first round of the group stage, Lekai has rarely appeared in the frontcourt.

There are tactical arrangements here, and there are also reasons for the opponent to exert pressure.

When the Chinese team is leading, Lekai needs to ensure that he does not lose the ball.

Attack when conditions permit, and directly take root in the backcourt when conditions do not permit.

The Spanish players feel very annoyed.

If the bus-parking tactic does not work at the beginning, it will be difficult to play the effect again.

As time goes by, the party that parks the bus will become more and more determined.

On the other hand, the attacking party will encounter huge offensive pressure.

And like Spain, after falling behind, the opponent is still parking the bus, which is the most tragic result.

It can be said that with the passage of time, the will of the Spanish players is gradually being consumed.

They are still one victory away from entering the finals.

A victory with a goal difference of eight goals.

In the second half, they have to score eight goals to enter the World Cup finals!

But is this possible?

They didn't play well in the entire 45 minutes of the first half.

Will they be able to play well in the second half?

"The pressure is off!"

Lekai slowed down a little bit, and he saw the Spanish players passing the ball back.

Lekai was still very vigilant at the beginning.

But as time passed, Spain's offensive posture was basically gone.

They seemed to have determined this result.

Or, they no longer had the energy to attack!

Give up?

Lekai still didn't dare to relax, and also called on his teammates not to let down their guard.

However, Lekai's guess was a bit redundant.

Therefore, Spain did feel a little bit of giving up.

Even though there were several attacks, the offensive attitude was not firm.

Villa even started to play long shots, which could not pose a threat to the Chinese team, which had been on guard for a long time.

In this atmosphere of the game, the referee finally blew the whistle for the halftime break.

In the first half, the Chinese team led Spain 1:0!

The Spanish players walked into the player tunnel with their heads down one by one.

The Spanish fans on both sides were either cheering loudly or swearing wildly, and some even wanted to climb over the fence and run in to beat up the players.

But the security guards reacted quickly and stopped them directly.

Lekai and Liu Kairui walked into the locker room together, and the latter suddenly grinned; "The swearing is really ugly!"
