Although Cameroon still had the advantage in the game between China and Cameroon, the dangerous situations in the game were gradually created by China!
In the 31st minute of the game, Qin Xiong received Zhao Junzhe's pass from the left flank. He cut across the front of the penalty area to intercept Nkourou. He paused the ball at his feet, and Nkourou rushed a little too far. Qin Xiong started to cross the ball again and swung to open the shooting angle. His long shot slid past the goal and missed the goal again.
The Cameroon manager was burning with anxiety on the sidelines. He knew that as long as Cameroon scored the first goal, the direction of the game would be completely different.
Therefore, the full back, Hector, was asked to participate in the attack.
In the 34th minute of the game, Hector assisted. He passed a 45-degree cross from the flank, and Li Weifeng beat Webb to the ball first to clear the siege.
The ball that was cleared out fell to Zheng Zhi's feet. He and Liu Yi played a two-over-one wall combination before stuffing the ball diagonally to the empty area on the right flank of the front field.
At this time, China's counterattack had a new change.
Zhang Pengfei rushed forward on the right flank. His biggest feature was that his speed began to play a role.
He rushed forward and passed the ball forward, distracting Cameroon's defensive line.
After passing the ball to the front and back of the penalty area, Zhang Pengfei passed the ball diagonally to the front of the penalty area to Han Peng. He inserted diagonally into the empty space on the flank of the penalty area to create a restraining effect.
Han Peng passed the ball back to the front of the penalty area to Qin Xiong, who cut inside to the middle.
Qin Xiong passed the ball and pressed in front of the penalty area. Bassoon immediately came up to snatch it. Qin Xiong pretended to do a long shot. Bassoon's center of gravity was shaken, and Qin Xiong broke through him with a fake shot!
After rushing past Bassoon, Qin Xiong had already charged into the penalty area.
Facing the goalkeeper Hamidou, Qin Xiong did not hesitate this time. He used his right foot to shoot a low shot at the corner of the goal. This shot was extremely decisive, and his shooting motion was not obvious. It could be said to be a sudden sneak attack!
The goalkeeper, Hamidou, was not a top-class goalkeeper after all. He panicked a little in such a situation. He wanted to block the near corner of the goal, but he was also worried that the far corner of the goal would be penetrated by Qin Xiong. Therefore, he was worried that he would lose sight of one thing and lose sight of the other. In his dilemma, he was unable to take care of both ends. As a result, he did not make a save, and Qin Xiong's shot directly rolled into the near corner of the goal!
The moment the football entered the Cameroon goal, the China fans in the stands of the Free State Stadium collectively let out a deafening cheer!
The fans cheered wildly for Qin Xiong!
With a serious face, Qin Xiong ran to the sidelines like a god of war to celebrate. He nodded to every teammate who ran over, hugged them, and cheered them on.
"China Team has broken the record! Captain Qin, Captain Qin has made a contribution to China Team in the World Cup!
This goal reflects the results of China Team's focus on building defensive counterattack in the past few years. Cameroon strengthened the flank attack, but the China Team took advantage of the gap in the flank defense. Zhang Pengfei was one of the contributors to this attack, and Han Peng played a good role as a fulcrum. Finally, Captain Qin's individual play played a key role. He used a fake shot to trick Bassoon into completing the breakthrough, and then went alone to easily break the goal!
China Team has taken the lead, and this advantage allows us to face the game with a more stable mentality. China Team, don't relax, continue to work hard! "
Cameroon was about to go crazy. They had been attacking for a long time, but China Team had formed at least three tight defensive triangles, which made them suffer.
Generally speaking, there must be a defensive triangle on the defensive line.
That was two defenders and a defensive midfielder!
Such a defensive triangle ensured that the defensive line was not just a parallel line that could be directly penetrated by the opponent regardless of whether it was a pass or a breakthrough. With the triangle system, there was a sense of defensive layering.
And with the development of European football to this day, there had been a mainstream trend of two defensive midfielders. Combined with the full-backs' offense, the mainstream defense would become two iron triangles.
Three fullbacks and two fullbacks formed two overlapping iron triangular defensive systems.
And because China Team's strength was not good, in addition to the tight defense to compress the space, they also achieved four defenders and three defensive midfielders to defend. Three overlapping defensive triangles!
In this way, not only did the defense compress the space, but the sense of defensive layering was also more secure and stable.
Cameroon immediately instigated a frenzied attack after losing the ball, but they lacked exquisite coordination. The passing and cutting coordination could not create excellent opportunities. The passing tactics from the flank also lacked more points in the penalty area, so the attack was not very ideal.
The most important thing was that Cameroon had fewer players who had the ability to break through the tight defense, and they did not have a heavy long-range shooter. The effect of the set piece was not bad, but China Team was still cautious in defense and would not rashly commit a foul.
On the contrary, China Team's counterattack was colorful.
In the 37th minute of the game, Qin Xiong was surrounded by many Cameroon players in the front field. He passed the ball to the penalty area on the spot to give Han Peng a great opportunity. Unfortunately, Han Peng's heavy shot directly hit the air.
He looked a little nervous when he was shooting, which led to a phenomenon of performance that was not up to standard.
Before the end of the first half, China Team once again played a threatening offensive through counterattacks.
This time, Qin Xiong created an opportunity for Zhang Pengfei in front of the penalty area.
He stuffed the ball diagonally into the empty space in the side of the penalty area in front of the penalty area.
Zhang Pengfei cut into the penalty area and faced Basson's pursuit to intercept. He hooked the ball with his foot, dodged Basson's interception, and directly shot with his left foot.
The shot was a little tricky, but the speed of the ball was not particularly fast.
The goalkeeper Hamidou fell to the ground and pounced horizontally to block the ball with his hand. The football slowly bounced into the small penalty area.
After Qin Xiong passed the ball, he cut forward into the penalty area. At this time, he grabbed the spot before Nkoulou to make a follow-up shot. He used a sliding tackle to poke the ball with the tip of his foot into the goal that was close at hand.
After the slide shot broke the goal, Qin Xiong took advantage of the opportunity to get up, and his face finally showed a look of ecstasy.
He laughed and roared at his teammates.
Play like this!
Since the summer of 2004, China Team had confirmed the defensive counterattack strategy. After six years of run-in, they finally had the capital to establish themselves on the international stage!
In the stands of the Free State Stadium, the cheers of the China fans' ecstasy soared into the sky!
Cameroon did not expect that they would encounter a China Team that was so good at playing defensive counterattack in their eyes!
They had underestimated the enemy!
They had completely underestimated the enemy!
In the second half of the game, Cameroon, eager to equalize the score, frequently pressed on in large numbers.
China Team further strengthened their defense. In the 68th minute of the game, Qin Xiong advanced forward after receiving the ball from the midfield. In the process of the attack, he passed two players and diagonally passed the ball to the empty space on the right side of the penalty area.
Zhang Pengfei cut inside the penalty area to form a one-handed ball. After the goalkeeper Hamidou abandoned the goal, he passed the ball across. Han Peng, who was further away from the goal, pushed the empty goal and scored!
China Team took a 3: 0 lead!
Arihan decisively made a substitution after the third goal.
Shao Jiayi replaced Han Peng, and Huang Bowen replaced Zhang Pengfei.
They strengthened their defense and only left Qin Xiong for the counterattack.
