Chapter 534 Penalty and Red Card

After the second half of the game began, the Chinese team launched a fierce attack on Mexico's penalty area amid the shouts of nearly 30,000 Chinese fans at the AWD Stadium. They told everyone with their actions that their goal in this game was to win.

The draw is obviously not Mexico's goal. Mexican head coach Lavolpe also showed a tough response. His team did not intend to reclaim defense in the second half. Lavolpe made an almost identical choice to Alihan's offense, continued to attack, and strived to score a goal to win the game.

For the opponent's Chinese team, Lavolpe is very clear about its weakness, that is, its defense is unstable. In the group stage of the World Cup qualifiers, the opponents were generally not strong, and the Chinese team's defense looked good, but during the quarterfinals, their defensive problems were revealed. Only home games against Iran did not concede the goal, and the rest of the games were unable to cover the whole body.

……………………

At 71 minutes after the game, Alihan replaced Shao Jiayi, whose physical fitness began to have problems and replaced Li Jinyu. The Chinese team changed into a double striker lineup and continued to strengthen the offense.

Fans applause rang over the AWD stadium in Hannover, and encouraged Shao Jiayi, who performed well in the game.

"Good job!" Alihan and Shao Jia praised and praised.

Mexican head coach Lavolpe immediately made a tit-for-tat adjustment. He replaced Lozano, who was not very good-performance, and replaced Pineda, a young player from the Mexican domestic giant Guadalajara. This is a fast wing player, and he also wants to strengthen the offense.

Three minutes later, Alihan made another substitution. He replaced Xiao Zhanbo and replaced Zhou Ting, who was better at attacking.

Mexico also made another substitution. La Volpe replaced Torado and replaced the young winger Luis Perez from Monterrey. This wing player who is only 170cm tall is short but strong, has a comprehensive skill, and is good at outspoken and passing balls.

Alihan glanced at the visiting team coach's seat. He really envied Lavolpe for having a lot of talented players. Mexico's strength is indeed much stronger than the Chinese team.

……………………

The head coaches of both sides have successively dispatched troops, and the ones replaced are offensive players. The two sides are fighting against each other. The happiest thing is the fans on the scene, especially the neutral German fans, who are excited to watch it.

Alihan and Lavolpe, both head coaches, were standing on the sidelines to command the game. Both of them frowned and stared at the field, hoping to capture the opponent's loopholes and gaps. But both Alihan and Lavolpe shook their heads. At this time, both teams were attacking with all their strength, and the offense and defense pace was very fast. The mistakes of both sides began to increase. The scene seemed very hot, but it was even more chaotic.

In this kind of chaos, the role of the head coach has been weakened, and it depends on the players on the spot.

"I hate this kind of chaos." Alihan told De Jong that in such chaos, he felt that he could not use his coaching talent.

At this moment, an unexpected situation occurred on the field. Zhao Junzhe fell to the ground while fighting with his opponent, with a painful expression and immediately made a substitution gesture.

"Fac!" Alihan cursed. The Chinese team was short of people on the defensive end. Li Tie, who played for Everton, was injured early in the season and has not recovered yet. Zhao Junzhe is a relatively reliable defensive midfielder and is injured now, so it is difficult to deal with it.

Alihan quickly arranged for Li Xiaopeng to warm up, and at the same time he was nervous and kept a close eye on the situation on the venue.

With the help of the team doctor, Zhao Junzhe slowly walked off the court. There was also a burst of applause in the stands, expressing encouragement and comfort to him.

"How is it?" Alihan asked the team doctor.

"I don't know the specific situation, but I will definitely not be able to play in the next game."

Fak!

Alihan cursed, and he could only go up and comfort Zhao Junzhe, who was in a bad mood, and then quickly called Li Xiaopeng back and gave him a face-to-face opportunity.

……………………

Li Xiaopeng came on as a substitute and replaced Zhao Junzhe, who had already left due to injury.

Alihan also changed the team again. Zhou Haibing, Li Xiaopeng and Yin Jun formed the three midfielders, Zhou Ting, Li Jinyu and Dong Jinzhuo formed the trident on the front line. This is a desperate attack plan.

"Coach Alihan showed his offensive courage." He Wei said, "The Chinese team attacked with all their might. This is a gambling attack. Either they scored goals or were hit by Mexico to counterattack.

"Neither side is willing to accept the draw." Huang Jianqiang said, "Now both sides are red-eyed. In this case, an accident is often enough to change the game."

Huang Jianqiang felt that his mouth was really covered with gold. After he said this for two or three minutes, an unexpected situation occurred on the court.

Faced with Yin Jun's press, Mexican defender Salcido chose to pass back. Dong Fengzhuo immediately rushed towards Carmona who was about to get the ball. The latter was startled and continued to pass back quickly.

An unexpected incident occurred. Carmona's return pass was relatively small. Li Jinyu immediately rushed over like a leopard out of the cage. He approached the football before the goalkeeper and was about to shoot with his feet.

Mexican goalkeeper Osvaldo Sanchez was anxious and directly shoveled. Then people saw Li Jinyu falling into Mexico's penalty area like a tree stump cut down by an axe.

The referee on duty quickly made a penalty. He showed a red card to Mexican goalkeeper Sanchez, sent off the opponent, and then awarded a penalty to the Chinese team.

This penalty aroused dissatisfaction among the Mexican players on the court, and Borgerty also received a yellow card due to emotional protests.

"The referee sent off Mexican goalkeeper Osvaldo Sanchez, and the Chinese team got the chance to score a penalty. Mexican striker Borgerty also received a yellow card because of excessive protest words." Huang Jianqiang shouted.

La Volpe quickly made adjustments and replaced substitute goalkeeper Ochoa, a young man who would only turn 20 next month. Ochoa was originally the third goalkeeper of this Mexico team, but because the team's second goalkeeper caught a cold after Germany in Germany, this gave Ochoa, the third goalkeeper, the opportunity to make the substitute.

The one who was replaced was defender Carmona who made a mistake in the pass, and Mexico changed to play as a three-back.

Although he was sent off and was awarded a penalty, Lavolpe did not intend to admit defeat, and he still wanted to take a chance.

If Mexico cannot defeat the weakest Chinese team in Group B, it will be very difficult for Mexico to advance to the knockout stage. After all, Mexico will still have to face the world champion Brazil and European champion Greece in the following games!
