The left-back closed in, lowering his center of gravity to prevent him from cutting inside.

Chen Xun's unique skill was noticed by everyone during the morning's test.

He stepped on the ball with his right foot and glanced up at the penalty area.

The red team's center forward was sandwiched between two center-backs, making it difficult to find good routes for his crosses.

He decided to do it himself.

With his right foot, he gently flicked the ball inwards.

Feint!

The left-back's center of gravity shifted accordingly.

Then, with a sudden push of the outside of his right foot towards the baseline, he cut in from the side of the baseline!

The same movements as during the morning test.

But this time the left-back was prepared.

He was not affected by Chen Xun's feint. He shifted his center of gravity by only half a step before immediately returning to his original position, while simultaneously extending his foot to block Chen Xun's breakthrough route.

Chen Xun got stuck.

If this had happened during the morning's technical testing, the ball would most likely have been lost.

But this is not the time for testing.

He has teammates!

When Chen Xun's breakthrough was blocked, he did not force his way forward. Instead, he flicked the ball back with the heel of his right foot and simultaneously stopped and turned around.

An extremely simple emergency stop and pass back action.

The ball rolled towards the edge of the penalty area.

The red team's defensive midfielder arrived quickly and unleashed a long-range shot!

boom!

The ball flew towards the goal like a cannonball!

The blue team's goalkeeper made a diving save, tipping the ball over the crossbar with one hand!

"Great news!"

The shouts from the sidelines grew even louder.

Zhou Guoliang nodded.

This is a clever approach.

After being blocked, he didn't try to force his way through, but immediately observed his teammates' follow-up and used the simplest method to pass the ball to the most threatening position.

This ability to remain calm and make the right decisions in high-speed confrontations cannot be taught.

Moreover, his sudden stop and backheel flick were perfectly controlled in terms of the point and force of contact with the ball.

The ball rolled perfectly into the path of the defensive midfielder's sprint, allowing him to shoot directly without needing to adjust.

Zhou Guoliang wrote a line on the record sheet: "The technical application ability in the competition far exceeds the level of static testing. Pay close attention to this."

Neither side managed to score again in the first half.

But Chen Xun's passes posed a threat several times.

If the blue team's goalkeeper hadn't also been a regular player, Chen Xun would have almost tied the score.

The second half begins.

Zhou Guoliang made some personnel adjustments, replacing the left-back of the Blue Team with a smaller player who was faster.

This arrangement was clearly designed to target Chen Xun's speed characteristics.

The effect is immediate.

Although the short left-back is not as fast as Chen Xun, the gap is not as large as before.

Moreover, he has significantly more defensive experience, doesn't easily fall for fakes, and consistently locks down the paint, forcing Chen Xun to move to the perimeter.

In the first fifteen minutes of the second half, Chen Xun was tightly marked.

He received the ball three times, lost it twice, and was forced to pass it back once.

The Blue Team seized the opportunity and launched a wave of attacks, with Mouse scoring again in the 50th minute.

A long-range shot from outside the penalty area, the ball skimming the grass and nestling into the bottom right corner of the goal.

2:0.

The red team is down by two goals!

The atmosphere on the field began to become dull.

The red team's center forward started frequently shrugging and complaining that his teammates weren't passing the ball to him, the defensive midfielder's running range was noticeably reduced, and the two full-backs didn't dare to push forward to assist in the attack.

Impatience spread rapidly.

Chen Xun knew that he couldn't rush things at this moment, or everything would definitely collapse.

He began to communicate frequently with his teammates on the field.

"It's alright, there's still time!"

"Back up! Back up! Hold your positions!"

"Good pass! Keep passing it!"

……

Zhou Guoliang was on the sidelines and saw everything.

He put an asterisk next to the "psychological qualities" column on the record sheet.

The opportunity will come soon!

The Blue Team pressed forward aggressively, aiming to kill the game completely.

The mouse received the ball on the edge of the penalty area, intending to make a through pass to break through the defense.

Unexpectedly, the red team's center-back anticipated the play and intercepted the ball with his leg!

Red team counterattacks!

The center-back launched a long pass, directly targeting the right flank.

The ball flew very high, drawing an arc in the air.

Chen Xun and the small left-back of the Blue Team started running at the same time, chasing the ball side by side.

The short guy was fast, sticking close to Chen Xun, their shoulders bumping together, neither giving way.

Chen Xun took even bigger steps.

He's never been afraid of anyone when it comes to running!

After ten meters, he began to lead by half a body length.

Twenty meters later, he was one body length ahead.

The shorter man reached out and tugged at his clothes, causing Chen Xun to stumble, but instead of slowing down, he charged even faster, enraged.

He hooked the ball back near the sideline.

The ball was not stopped.

He saw that the red team's center forward had already made a high-speed run through the middle, and the two center-backs of the blue team were desperately trying to catch up, but the center forward started earlier and had already left half a body length behind.

This opportunity only lasts for a moment.

Chen Xun's right foot slammed into the soccer ball!

A long, low pass!

The ball cut through the blue team's defense, skimming the grass, and slipped through the gap between the center-back and the goalkeeper, rolling towards the far post!

That was such a clever pass!

The red team's center forward arrived in time and slid in to shoot at the far post!

The toe poked the soccer ball!

The ball changed direction and went under the goalkeeper's armpit into the goal!

2 is better than 1!

The red team has pulled one back!

The center forward who scored the goal got up from the ground and rushed towards Chen Xun, grabbing him in a hug.

"That was a beautiful pass!"

The other members of the red team rushed over and surrounded Chen Xun.

Chen Xun grimaced as the group bumped into him, but he smiled broadly.

There are two minutes left in the game.

The entire Red Team pressed forward, launching a frenzied attack.

The blue team retreated to the sidelines, trying to hold onto their victory.

The final attack in the 60th minute.

The red team's midfielder gets the ball, and Mouse and another blue team midfielder try to steal it from him.

The midfielder, under pressure from two defenders, passed the ball to the right flank.

The ball was passed a bit too far and rolled towards the sideline.

Chen Xun chased after the ball and hooked it back before it went out of bounds.

It's still the same spot.

On the right flank, outside the penalty area, about twenty meters from the goal.

The blue team's short left-back closed in, and the blue team's center-back also came to cover.

Two people, one in front and one behind, blocked both the inside cut and the bottom line routes.

The situation is exactly the same as yesterday.

Chen Xun stepped on the ball with his right foot.

The entire room fell silent.

The mouse immediately rushed over from the side to provide backup.

In an instant, three players from the Blue Team stood around Chen Xun.

Chen Xun flicked the ball inward with his right foot.

Another feint!

The blue team's short guard had a knowing look on his face.

In his mind, Chen Xun only knew these two moves, which he had already figured out. Now that he had teammates by his side, he wasn't afraid of Chen Xun cutting inside and shooting at all.

Little did anyone know that Chen Xun wasn't faking it; he was actually cutting inside.

As the ball rolled inward, his body sprang back like a spring, his left foot pushing off the ground, and he squeezed through the gap between the left-back and the center-back!

The moment the two closed the door, he squeezed out through the crack!

Chen Xun rushed into the restricted area.

The spectators standing on the sidelines clenched their fists involuntarily.

The blue team's goalkeeper spread his arms to block the near post.

The mouse lunged in from behind, desperately trying to block the shot.

Chen Xun planted his left foot firmly and swung his right leg back.

Everyone thought Chen Xun was going to shoot.

boom!

Chen Xun's right instep touched the soccer ball.

The ball didn't go straight for the goal; instead, he passed it to the penalty spot.

The red team's center had somehow gotten into position and positioned himself.

Both of the Blue Team's center-backs were drawn to the right side by Chen Xun's cut inside.

The area around the penalty spot is completely empty!

The center forward met the cross pass and took a shot.

The ball rolled into the bottom left corner of the goal.

An empty door!

2 is better than 2!

A draw!
