The successful shutout of Lu Wenbin in the first half made Guiyang Experimental No. 3 Middle School more determined to continue defending and counterattacking in the second half and win the championship.
Anyway, they had a goal, so it was Meijiang Middle School that should be anxious. If they could seize an opportunity in the second half and score another goal on the counterattack, the game could have ended early.
Guiyang Experimental No. 3 Middle School is prepared to continue playing like this in the second half.
Therefore, after a 15-minute break, Guiyang Experimental No. 3 Middle School continued with their defensive strategy in the second half of the game, while Meijiang Middle School had to continue the positional attack organized by Lu Wenbin.
However, during the half-time break, Zhang Minghai adjusted his tactics.
Although it was still up to Lu Wenbin to break through and attract the attention of the opposing players and then pass the ball, it did not mean that the player who received the ball would shoot directly after the pass.
Lu Wenbin can still use his extraordinary off-ball running ability to find an opening, and then if the player who receives the ball is not sure about his shot, he can pass the ball back to Lu Wenbin, who will then make the final shot.
Lu Wenbin, who runs without the ball after passing the ball, will not be marked by so many people and may get a better chance.
Zhang Minghai's adjustments caught everyone's attention and also made Lu Wenbin look at this seemingly insignificant school team coach with a higher opinion.
Zhang Minghai finally showed the role that a head coach should play, instead of just waiting for Lu Wenbin to lead the team to victory, and then he received praise from Principal Cai.
So, in the second half, although Meijiang Middle School's positional warfare looked the same as in the final stage of the first half, in fact the core idea of the tactics had changed.
In the first half, Lu Wenbin saw that Han Dapeng and others had gaps and good opportunities. After passing the ball, he waited for them to shoot and then relied on their luck.
After the start of the second half, Lu Wenbin did not stand and wait for his teammates to shoot after passing the ball, but began to use his off-ball running ability to quietly find gaps.
Although there were too many people in the penalty area and it was difficult to find open space, and Lu Wenbin's off-ball running ability was only 8/8, Lu Wenbin still worked tirelessly.
Now that he has reached the finals, he doesn't want to fall before the finish line.
He must qualify for the national finals.
The players of Guiyang Experimental Middle School No. 3 did not notice this change, because on the surface it seemed that Meijiang Middle School's tactics were still similar to the second half of the first half.
When Lu Wenbin failed to break through and attracted the attention of the defensive players of No. 3 Middle School, he would pass the ball to his teammates like he did in the second half of the first half, trying to assist them in scoring.
However, No. 3 Middle School, which had already been alert to Lu Wenbin's passes and the positioning of other Meijiang Middle School players, did not give Han Dapeng and others many chances.
Within 20 minutes of the second half, Han Dapeng and Xiang Youming each received a wonderful pass from Lu Wenbin, but neither of their shots resulted in a goal.
It seemed that No. 3 Middle School really had a chance to maintain the one-goal lead until the end of the game.
Just as the players of No. 3 Middle School continued to defend with full confidence, in the 67th minute, Lu Wenbin broke through two defensive players of No. 3 Middle School and sent the ball to Nie Yingkun in the empty space in the penalty area.
However, some players from No. 3 Middle School had already noticed Nie Yingkun's movement.
Before Lu Wenbin's pass reached Nie Yingkun's feet, a player from No. 3 Middle School rushed in front of Nie Yingkun, blocking the angle of Nie Yingkun's shot, and the goalkeeper also rushed to this side.
It seems that even if Nie Yingkun takes a shot, the chance of scoring will be the same as before, very slim.
After defending Lu Wenbin and forcing Lu Wenbin to pass the ball, the players from No. 3 Middle School also turned their attention to Nie Yingkun who was about to take the ball and prepare to shoot.
As for Lu Wenbin, no one cares about him anymore.
Even in the top leagues, world-class defenders sometimes involuntarily shift their eyes in the direction of the ball and make mistakes such as missing people. What's more, in high school campus competitions
Therefore, when the ball rolled towards Nie Yingkun and was no longer under Lu Wenbin's feet, almost no one paid attention to Lu Wenbin's movements.
At this time, Lu Wenbin had used off-ball running to bypass the defensive player in front of him who was not paying attention to him, and ran to the edge of the small penalty area: there was no defensive player from No. 3 Middle School there.
This time, Nie Yingkun also saw the gap where Lu Wenbin was running.
However, there were too many people in the penalty area and the opportunity was fleeting. Nie Yingkun had to pass the ball immediately. There was no time for him to stop and adjust, so he had to pass it with one foot.
Then, everyone saw that before the ball reached his feet, Nie Yingkun raised his foot, as if preparing to shoot.
The defender who rushed in front of Nie Yingkun turned around and blocked the direction of Nie Yingkun's shot with his back, preparing to block the bullet hole.
The goalkeeper also stared at Nie Yingkun's right foot, ready to save the ball.
In fact, after describing so much, only two seconds had passed on the court.
Then, when the ball rolled to Nie Yingkun's feet, Nie Yingkun raised his right foot high but did not shoot hard. Instead, he gently lowered it, twisted his ankle, and used the arch of his foot to send the rolling ball to the other side of the small penalty area: the other direction of the goal.
The defenders and goalkeeper of No. 3 Middle School looked in the direction the ball was rolling, only to be shocked to find that there was no one there and there was an open space.
Lu Wenbin from Meijiang Middle School was running towards the gap, and no one was following him.
The players of No. 3 Middle School were suddenly shocked. A defender fell to the ground and tackled the ball subconsciously, but he missed the ball passed by Nie Yingkun by a hair's breadth.
The other two players from No. 3 Middle School who were closer to Lu Wenbin quickly rushed towards Lu Wenbin, preparing to interfere with him.
The goalkeeper also rushed to the other side of the goal, ready to block Lu Wenbin's shot.
However, the ball rolled faster than anyone else, and no one could interfere with Lu Wenbin's early run.
Before the defender of No. 3 Middle School could run to Lu Wenbin and before the goalkeeper could jump to the near corner, the ball had already rolled in front of Lu Wenbin.
Lu Wenbin did not stop the ball or hesitate. He swung his left foot while running and shot the ball. The ball flew into the net from the near corner of the goal in the blink of an eye.
The goalkeeper of No. 3 Middle School, who arrived late, didn't even have time to make a save and could only watch the ball go into the net.
In fact, this is a wall pass in the penalty area.
Nie Yingkun did not shoot in the open space, but passed the ball back to Lu Wenbin, which was beyond the expectations of the players of No. 3 Middle School and made Lu Wenbin's shot seem easy and comfortable.
For Lu Wenbin, whose shooting attribute was as high as 14/14, this shot with no interference and only a few meters away from the goal was too easy.
