Chapter 199 African Elephants
Four days later, at the Holy Liberty Arena, the match between the Chinese team and the Cote d'Ivoire team was held here as scheduled.

After the game against Australia, they did not leave Chengdu, where both friendly matches were held.

The current Côte d'Ivoire team has fewer stars and a lack of lineup depth. This friendly match has used many new stars that have emerged in recent years.

Some of them are players from European clubs and found that their scouts took them to Europe when they were 12 or 3 years old, entered the club's youth training, and experienced club training and treatment that they had never tried before.

Of course, this also made some of them choose to play for the country in the league at the national team level, which led to the loss of talent in Côte d'Ivoire, making them have no outstanding performance in major competitions in recent years.

After losing to Australia in the first friendly match, the national football team was questioned by some fans, because in the eyes of fans, victory in a game is their pursuit of watching the game.

But Cheng Youcheng has his own considerations. No coach prepares for a game to "lose". From such a game, he can better understand the lack of the team and the quality of the tester reserve.

In terms of starting in this game, the formations on both sides are 433.On the national football side, Cheng Youcheng did not let Kong Pengyu start, and Bao Zihao was replaced as the right winger.

Both of them are very good players, and both of them are capable of performing the tasks assigned by Cheng Youcheng. Cheng Youcheng wanted to give Bao Zihao, whose game time had been reduced due to injuries, some time ago, some more feelings. After all, he was in the national team. He has more experience than Kong Pengyu.

The media and fans of the two clubs have had heated discussions on this aspect on social platforms. They are still arguing about who is ahead and who is behind on the Internet.

However, to play hard when you are on the court, and to wait honestly when you are not on the court, this is the same thought in the hearts of the two.

As the game started, the Chinese team took the lead to kick off, and the Ivory Coast team launched a fierce high-pressure press, with a strong momentum, and their bodies looked much tougher than the Australian team's players.

In the second minute of the game, their pressing quickly took effect, and left back Liu Rong made a pass error.

No. 12 of the Côte d'Ivoire team accelerated forward after stealing the ball, and came to the left side of the penalty area of ​​the Chinese team.

No. 9 in the middle has already rushed up, No. 12 didn't think too much, and kicked diagonally into the penalty area, so that No. 9 can have some room to adjust his footsteps.

Mu Dingyong chased No. 9 all the way. Although No. 9 was very strong, Mu Dingyong still fought against him without flinching.

Because of Mu Dingyong's physical confrontation, No. 9 didn't use his strength when adjusting the shot, but just touched the ball, and Lin Feizhuo easily held the ball in his arms.

Mu Dingyong's body trained in the Bundesliga is really extraordinary. Facing the domineering body of the Ivorian team's No. 9, he can also have such a successful limit.

Kong Pengyu looked at the field in surprise from the bench. He thought of the physically strong players he had encountered, also remembered the special training by Zheng Qixiang, and even more remembered that he was always at a disadvantage when facing such players. .

In his eyes, although Mu Dingyong's height is similar to that of No. 9, but his body is not stronger than No. 9, he cleverly possessed the last squeeze without fouling to complete the restriction.

In the 17th minute of the game, the Chinese team tried to find the rhythm of the game, but the Côte d'Ivoire team made it difficult for them to play. Battelle tried a long pass to find Bao Zihao on the right.

The ball was blocked by their midfielder, Di Xiaoliang immediately went to control the second penalty, and then passed it to Bao Zihao.

Bao Zihao took the ball, waited for the opponent to get close to him, then moved the ball forward, speeding up and breaking through the side.

If it were Kong Pengyu, he would try to go inside and make breakthroughs with some small techniques. Bao Zihao's approach may be more pragmatic.

No. 3's left back chased Bao Zihao, but Bao Zihao was determined to make a cross, and he didn't stop and pass others.

After throwing off No. 3's follower, Bao Zihao adjusted his steps, and he kicked a pass near the penalty area without hesitation.

After Meng Hezhou arrived, he jumped up and hit the goal with a powerful header, but he missed the right position and headed the ball high.

There was a problem with the timing of Meng Hezhou's jump of the ball. In addition, Bao Zihao's pass was a little high, and he hit the bottom of the ball.

The two waved to each other. At least they were next to each other in terms of attacking ideas. It was a pity that the goal was not scored.

In the 34th minute of the game, the No. 5 midfielder of the Côte d'Ivoire team intercepted Xu Wenli's dribbling in the midfield.

From the beginning of the game to the present, the defensive midfielder's interception ability has been fully demonstrated. He has successfully defended the dribbling of Xu Wenli and others many times.

Xu Wenli wanted to pass the ball with fried meatballs. Just as he flicked the ball with his right foot, the man seemed to have seen through Xu Wenli's movements. break away at the foot.

After No. 5 successfully steals the ball, in order to prevent them from counterattacking quickly, Di Xiaoliang rushes to interfere at the fastest speed, which has the effect of delaying their counterattack.

Ivory Coast's No. 19, who is in charge of the right midfielder, received the pass from No. 5. Mu Dingyong signaled for Yu Mai to retreat a little to defend him.

In this case, the Chinese team's defensive center of gravity is concentrated on the right side. No. 19 has a wide field of vision, and while there is still room for kicking, he turns the ball to the left.

Their No. 13 took a header from the wing, sent it forward to the feet of their No. 11 winger, and walked inside by himself.

No. 11 stepped on the bicycle, accelerated and paused three times in a row, and seemed to be kicking to pass the ball.

But Zheng Yubao was very calm when defending him, he didn't kick his feet hastily, nor was he disturbed by his footsteps.

Seeing that he couldn't pass Zheng Yubao on the 13th, he immediately ran to the front of the sidewalk. There will be no players from the Chinese team following him.

Seeing his teammates rushing over to help, No. 11 quickly came to pass the ball with a flower arrangement and passed the ball to No. 13 in front.

When he walked inside, No. 13 immediately passed the ball back to him, and No. 11 would divert the ball and go straight to the penalty area.

He played with their No. 9 striker in front of the penalty area, and he passed the ball to the No. 9 when Hu Wen was in front of him and the No. 9 was leaning on Battelle behind him.

No. 9 reached out to block Battelle, stepped on the ball, turned to one side, and knocked the ball back. It happened to be sent to the feet of No. 11 who got rid of Hu Wen's forward penetration into the penalty area. It was another single-handed opportunity!

No. 11 was not facing the goal, but turned sideways, kicked the ball directly and turned around to shoot.

"Beautiful!" The audience in the bench, audience, commentary, and TV post all gave such admiration. Lin Feizhuo once again saved the Chinese team from the fire and water!

This time Lin Feizhuo made a more miraculous save than blocking the Australian team single-handedly before!

His blocking action is exactly the same as before, still the kind of sitting on the ground and raising his hands, but this time No. 11's shot is farther away from his body than before.

However, his fingertips were all stiff. When the ball was about to escape from his save, he subconsciously raised his hand and blocked the ball. The pain of colliding with No. 11, he quickly got up, and held the ball in his arms before it was about to bounce into the goal.

The Chinese team did not have any amazing performance in the first half, but Lin Feizhuo's performance was absolutely shocking!
