In the Leipzig World Cup Stadium, the Angola team immediately aroused their wild nature after conceding the goal and launched a frenzied attack. The African players' advantage in physical fitness and confrontation was revealed, but the quality of their last kick was very poor.
And the Angola team lacked effective control of the game.
If the English Premier League was said to be an emotional game, both sides would not pay attention to rhythm control after a fast attack and frantically pull the rhythm to destroy the opponent.
Then a team like the Angola team did not have the concept and strength of rhythm control at all. The China team also lacked the same. If not for Qin Xiong's initiative and his teammates around him, he would not have been able to show such strength when he played as the organizing midfielder.
Now the Angola team's attack seemed to be swift and fierce, but the handling of the last kick was not satisfactory, which gave the China team a better chance to fight back.
In the 17th minute of the game, Qin Xiong received Zheng Zhizhi's pass in the front field and faced the pincer defense of Figueiredo and Milroy. He did not stop the ball. After the football rolled from behind, he directly used the tip of his foot to pick the ball up and completed a sudden pass!
His pass made many fans in the stands applaud. It was not only unexpected, but it was also extremely accurate.
The football flew over Carley's head. Zhang Pengfei, who rushed past him, showed his speed advantage compared to the opponent and successfully reversed the offside position. Unfortunately, Zhang Pengfei dribbled one more step after stopping the ball in the penalty area and did not decisively shoot directly, which gave the goalkeeper, Ricardo, a chance to abandon the goal and block the shooting angle. Zhang Pengfei's shot hit Ricardo's leg and bounced out of the end line.
After an attack, the Angola players immediately turned to look at Qin Xiong with a dignified look in their eyes.
They knew that Qin Xiong was very good, but they only paid attention to him before they actually played against him.
The pain of 0: 1 made the Angola team very uncomfortable.
It was meaningless to talk about defense again.
They needed to win to keep the hope of advancing to the top 16, so they had to attack!
In order to attack, they naturally could not go further to restrict Qin Xiong.
Qin Xiong's passing skills were also outstanding. Unfortunately, the China team lacked a first-class striker and the good opportunities he created could not be converted into goals.
In the 21st minute, the Angolan striker, Acqua, retreated to the front of the penalty area and got a chance to shoot. He aimed at the far corner of the goal and the shot bounced off the goalpost, causing the China team to break out in a cold sweat.
"Angola almost equalized the score! Our defense must be alert to the opponent's frequent positional changes in the front line and the tactical changes of retreating to cover each other. In the World Cup, where many experts gather, we have witnessed the superb technical and tactical side of many teams. The China team must become more flexible in both offense and defense! "
It was a pity that the shot hit the goalpost, but it gave the Angola team a lot of confidence.
They began to attack more aggressively.
In the 26th minute of the match, the midfielder, Figueiredo, assisted to the front field. However, he was frozen by Liu Yi as he ran forward. Mendonka's pass was directly intercepted by Liu Yi, and then the China team launched a counterattack.
Shao Jiayi moved forward along the left side. After receiving the pass from his teammate, he passed the ball diagonally to Qin Xiong, who was rushing forward in the middle.
Qin Xiong faced Angola's defensive line, which only had one defensive midfielder left, and easily passed the ball straight to Zhang Pengfei, who was receiving on the front line.
Zhang Pengfei did not stop the ball and turn around. He knew that the China team's offense revolved around Qin Xiong, even the striker was no exception.
It was only because he and Qin Xiong had a better tacit understanding than the other teammates that he became the starting center forward. However, he was not responsible for the task of directly charging into the opponent's penalty area. He was to cover for Qin Xiong.
He turned his back to the Angola penalty area and knocked the ball back to Qin Xiong.
The defensive midfielder, Milroy, was preparing to guard against Qin Xiong's move to rush directly past him, but Qin Xiong missed the football that came back from the front.
Milroy was surprised and lost the opportunity to defend. Qin Xiong rushed directly past him. Then, behind Qin Xiong, a China player ran forward quickly.
Zheng Zhi!
After Qin Xiong rushed past Milroy, he ran horizontally to the left, which allowed Zheng Zhi to easily see the passing point.
Zheng Zhi steadily passed the ball directly to Qin Xiong. Before the football rolled in front of him, Qin Xiong directly started from the left position in front of the penalty area to the right.
The moment he touched the ball, he passed the ball horizontally, shaking off Milroy, who was chasing back, and also brushing past the center back, Carley.
Qin Xiong, who had already swung out of the shooting angle, got into a good position for a powerful volley shot!
His eyes were extremely hot, symbolizing his firm belief.
He was not Pelé, not Maradona, not who. Did he care?
He did not care at all!
The China team could not get out of the line?
Even if the China team had him, they could not go far in the World Cup?
He did not care about that!
No one was qualified to criticize here, and no one was qualified to belittle and despise them!
This was our World Cup!
Who cares what other people think!
Even if he was a weak player, he had to work hard to show himself on this stage.
The football flew out like a cannonball and hung straight in the upper right corner of the goal!
The goalkeeper, Ricardo, made a mistake in his prediction. He thought Qin Xiong would hit the far corner of the goal, but he did not expect Qin Xiong to volley powerfully. The football slightly drifted straight to the near corner of the goal. By the time he reacted and made a save, it was already too late!
“2:0！ Qin Xiong scored a second goal! He widened the lead for the China team!
Now the China team is playing a simple defensive counterattack.
Whether it was the first goal or the current goal, we can see that the China team is mainly taking advantage of the opponent's weakness when they can't defend in time after the attack. They are mainly focused on Qin Xiong to attack the front field in three passes and two passes.
Qin Xiong showed his strength, especially his acceleration in a small area, and his habitual kicking style of suddenly shooting after crossing the ball in front of the penalty area.
With a two-goal lead, we can now look forward to whether Mexico can beat Portugal to help us create a miracle! "
Qin Xiong rushed to the sidelines after the goal, bent his legs and slid to celebrate outside the field. At the same time, he clenched his fists and made a domineering roar!
The China fans in the stands and all over the world who were watching the game cheered together and shouted Qin Xiong's name in unison!
It was difficult for all the China fans to ask Qin Xiong for more.
Even if some media made things difficult for Qin Xiong and evaluated his performance harshly.
But in the hearts of the fans, Qin Xiong was already the totem of China's football. He was a flag-bearer!
He scored the first goal in the history of the World Cup finals for the China team.
He led the China team to get the first point in the World Cup finals.
Now, he was leading the China team to get the first victory in the World Cup finals!
And this World Cup had three group matches.
The China team had scored four goals so far.
All of them came from Qin Xiong!
The China fans all loved Qin Xiong!
They were crazy about him!
