Chapter 124: World Waves, One Point for Each
"Whoa—"
Tang Zheng cut off Pogba's foot with the assistance of Li Kui, and the Chinese fans in the stands subconsciously let out a huge chant.
When the game came to injury time, there was less and less time left for the Chinese team, and having the ball at the foot meant that there was hope for another equaliser.
The French fans in the stands were not in a special mood except for complaining that the referee Cunha did not blow the whistle to signal Tang Zheng's foul, because they thought that it was impossible for the Chinese team to beat the powerful France!
Tang Zheng, who cut off the ball at Pogba's feet, knew that his action was not a foul, so he didn't pay attention to whether the referee Cunha blew the whistle and started directly on the spot.
Kante, who has a strong sense of defense, pounced on Tang Zheng for the first time, and fell to the ground and shoveled the moment he saw Tang Zheng's ball!
The commentator of the French National Sports Television saw Kante decisively put the shovel, his eyes lit up, and he subconsciously boasted: "Some people say that 70% of the earth is water, and the remaining 30% is ......"
However, as soon as the words fell, Tang Zheng's right leg that was originally lying on the ball did not retract, but took a step in the past, stepped on the football, and then pulled it back violently, and the football just brushed the tip of the long right foot of Kante, who fell to the ground and shoveled.
At the same time, Tang Zheng flicked the ball to the right with the outside of his right foot.
"Whoa—"
With Tang Zheng using the ball to pull the ball and dial the ball past Kante, a louder chant sounded over the Kazan Stadium, which was deafening.
"Nice break!!"
Yang 5 commentator He Wei suddenly stood up with his hands on the commentary seat, and shouted out of instinct: "Tang Zheng passed Kante! What will he do next?"
Because the action was too sudden, Tang Zheng stumbled a little at his feet, and Matuidi, who was ready to make up for the defense, lit up, he was going to stand in the position when he was on the Kante, after all, there was Liu Ruofan next to him, a Chinese player, which should not be underestimated, but Tang Zheng's feet staggered, a few seconds before the switch from offense to defense, if the football was cut off, from defense to offense......
The team has a great chance to extend the score and kill the game at the start of stoppage time!
Thinking of this possibility, Matuidi forgot about the previous arrangement of head coach Didier Deschamps.
The French head coach Deschamps, who was standing in the command area, frowned obviously at this moment, but seeing Tang Zheng stumbling under his feet, he was worried and had a trace of expectation at the same time.
The Chinese team has switched from defense to offense, and the defensive end must be in the weakest stage, if the side can switch from defense to offense at this time, the probability of scoring goals is very high!
Tang Zheng stumbled on his feet, but he had a wide field of vision, noticing Matuidi grabbing him to adjust his pace and observe Matuidi's cadence at his feet.
Now is the time!
Tang Zheng, who seemed to have a very unstable center of gravity, suddenly stabbed the football with the tip of his right foot, and Matuidi panicked, it was too late to close his legs, and the football just drilled between Matuidi's legs.
"Wear a crotch!"
Tang Zheng passed in front of Matuidi while adjusting his center of gravity, and the voice of Yang 5 commentator He Wei was an octave higher.
Matuidi naturally won't let Tang Zheng break through easily, as a B2B player, he knew that Tang Zheng couldn't be allowed to pass at this time, so he used both hands and feet.
Tang Zheng, who was unstable, was indeed dragged to the ground by Matuidi, but the referee Cunha did not sound the whistle, but raised his arms and ran towards the direction of the French team's half, signaling the game to continue!
Because...... The ball rolled between Matuidi's legs and rolled into the high-speed attack of Sun Jingbo, who took part in the attack, and he took the ball forward the moment Tang Zheng fell to the ground.
According to the rules of the offense, the game continues!
Lucas Hernandez didn't dare to be as reckless as N'Golo Kante and Matuidi, and he chose to retract from his position as Sun Jingbo broke through.
Obviously, this is the smartest option when defending.
Zhang Yuzhan and Liu Ruofan's forward insertion attracted the attention of Varane and Umtiti's defense, which is equivalent to saying that Lucas Hernandez has a huge space behind him, and it would be bad if Sun Jingbo, who has excellent speed and skill, took the ball to the ball.
After all, the offense is active, while the defense is passive.
French coach Didier Deschamps was a little worried, but seeing that the four defenders on the defensive end were all in position, he was not relieved, even the midfielders were not in position.
"Oops!!"
Deschamps instinctively looked at the double midfielders N'Golo Kante and Matuidi, and Tang Zheng, the captain of the Chinese team wearing the No. 10 shirt, suddenly felt uneasy.
He really didn't expect that Tang Zheng, who fell to the ground, would participate in the attack so quickly, and even preempted Kante and Matuidi.
In addition to Lu Liang not being on the front line, Zhang Yuzhan, Liu Ruofan and Sun Jingbo are all there, and there is a Tang Zheng in the sea behind him at high speed to assist the Chinese team's counterattack.
Sun Jingbo, who was dribbling the ball, did not use his speed to rush forward, but slowed down.
This......
is waiting for Tang Zheng!
Two seconds passed quickly, Sun Jingbo took the ball to the right rib of the attack forty meters away from the bottom line, and you can see the Chinese team and the French team from the broadcast screen - four to four!
Lippi, the head coach of the Chinese team who was standing not far away, suddenly became expectant, and his hands clenched unconsciously.
Liu Ruofan slid diagonally behind Lucas Hernandez, Varane had to follow, and Zhang Yuzhan pressed Umtiti and Pavard towards the top of the penalty area.
Sun Jingbo kept a very good distance from football, and Lucas Hernandez still didn't dare to step forward, so he chose to fight and retreat.
In this case, Sun Jingbo dribbled forward with the ball at a faster speed and crossed ten meters to thirty meters from the goal.
"Give it to me!"
Sun Jingbo, who was carrying the ball, was in good spirits, and did not look back, and directly passed the ball to the middle with the arch of his right foot.
"Tang Zheng—"
Yang 5 commentator He Wei was full of passion and shouted selflessly.
Tang Zheng, who was running, adjusted his pace, and also paid attention to the position of goalkeeper Lloris, a very obvious long-range shooting posture.
Kante, who was chasing Tang Zheng, gritted his teeth and swung his legs almost frantically, using the time to adjust his steps to narrow the distance between them.
"Whoa—"
The Chinese fans in the stands saw the football rolling towards Tang Zheng against the turf, and they raised their arms one after another, as if they were greeting the goal.
Tang Zheng stopped the ball forward half a meter with the outside of his right foot during the run, took a step forward with his left foot, and picked up his right foot.
Kante fell to the ground behind Tang Zheng's flank and put a tackle on the right, and if Tang Zheng shoots from distance, he has 95 percent confidence to complete the block.
However, Tang Zheng, who picked up his right foot, did not shoot from a distance, but quickly put it down again, pulled the ball back with the sole of his foot, and waited until Kante's body slid forward before using the outside of his right foot to pull the ball to the right, and then picked up his right foot again.
Matuidi subconsciously stopped and tried to get closer to Tang Zheng, but Tang Zheng was very decisive this time, and did not fake the real shot again, but completed a real long shot 28 meters from the goal!
"Don—"
British Sky Commentator Andy Grey's voice changed: "No long shots! He seems to have long eyes in the back of his head, and he completely shakes Kante with a feint!
In the field of vision of Yang 5 commentator He Wei, Tang Zheng's pass is the most suitable choice, but thinking of the number of times Tang Zheng has acted as a key gentleman in the past, he spared no effort to shout: "Tang Zheng shook Kante! He shot from a distance of about 30 meters from the goal!"
Tang Zheng's right instep hit the lower middle of the football between the front and the outside, and Matuidi, who rushed to Tang Zheng, could clearly hear a collision.
In order to make the football fully forced, Tang Zheng's whole person rose into the air with the right foot that was pulled out.
“Boom~”
Matuidi watched as the ball took to the air, flying past N'Golo Kante, who had fallen to the ground, and speeding towards captain Lloris for goal.
Umtiti, Raphael Varane, Zhang Yuzhan, Sun Jingbo and Lucas Hernandez all subconsciously stopped, keeping their eyes on the ball flying towards the goal.
"Oh, oh, oh-"
The French fans at the Kazan Stadium subconsciously let out a burst of exclamation.
The ball was fast and fast, flying towards the top right corner of the goal.
Goalkeeper Lloris watched the ball in the air and hastily moved to the left, and when he moved to the second step, the ball flew over the penalty spot and came to the line of the six-yard box with a devastating effect.
Loris kicked hard with his left foot, and the whole person rose into the air, and at the same time his waist and abdomen were straightened, trying to make his outstretched left hand stretch longer.
But when Lloris's body stretched to the extreme, he hadn't touched the football yet, so the French fans behind the goal widened their eyes and their hearts were in their throats.
“No!!”
The fingertips of Lloris's outstretched right arm failed to touch the ball because the ball flew towards the top right corner of the goal with a clear outside arc......
Half a second later, the ball grazed the inside of the right post of the goal and flew into the goal, and British Sky commentator Andy Guerrera made a long voice: "goooooooal-"
Commentator Martin Taylor shouted almost frantically: "The ball is in! The ball is in! Tang used a long-range shot in the first minute of stoppage time to help the Chinese team equalize! Mr. Key really deserved his name! He did it! Tang turned the tide with his own strength!!"
"Incredible!!Incredible!!World !!"
He Wei, the central 5 commentator, fell into a complete frenzy and shouted hysterically: "The game went to injury time, captain Tang Zheng used a kick to help the Chinese team equalize! 2:2!!2:2!!"
Tang Zheng, who scored the goal, originally wanted to try his feelings, but he really scored, so he looked extremely crazy, opened his arms, and ran wildly all the way!
In the Iberian derby last night, Cristiano Ronaldo scored a hat-trick to single-handedly lead the Portuguese national team to a draw against a stronger overall Spain, with a clear defiant celebration as he celebrated his third goal.
It is not difficult for media reporters who have followed Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo to guess what Cristiano Ronaldo wants to express.
That's right!
It is to provoke Tang Zheng!
When the Chinese team was behind, captain Tang Zheng stood up and helped the Chinese team equalize with a wonderful world wave, so Tang Zheng ran to the camera and made a movement of shaking his right index finger.
Although Tang Zheng's two goals are not as good as Cristiano Ronaldo's three goals, the overall strength gap between the Chinese team and the French team is greater than the strength gap between Portugal and Spain, so the gold content is not lower than Cristiano Ronaldo's three goals.
Cristiano Ronaldo, who was sitting in front of the TV watching the Chinese team's game, frowned because he could see that it was Tang Zheng's counterattack.
Damn it!
However, Tang Zheng quickly turned around and celebrated the goal with teammates Sun Jingbo and Zhang Yuzhan, although the goal was full of personal heroism, but the process before the goal was achieved by the tacit cooperation of teammates.
In stoppage time, goalkeeper Yan Junling ran across half the pitch to celebrate the game goal with his teammates.
Immediately, the live director gave the French star a number of close-ups pushed to his face.
Every French player's face is ugly, especially the smug Pogba, who is extremely ugly.
If it weren't for his sticky ball, Tang Zheng would not have been able to break the ball, let alone score an equalizer.
Kante and Matuidi, who were shaken by Tang Zheng one after another, were not much better, especially Kante, because he was shaken to the ground twice by Tang Zheng.
A shame on the Premier League's hottest midfielder!
France's coach Didier Deschamps, who appeared on the broadcast screen, looked furious, but he didn't vent it.
A lot of times the stars shine and they can't do anything about it.
There was still time in the game, and the team had a chance to read the score again and win the game, so Deschamps quickly beckoned to Fekir and explained the latest tactics.
After Tang Zheng celebrated the goal with his teammates, he made a heart shape with his hands in the direction of the VIP seats on the court.
Zhao Lina, who was sitting in the VIP seat holding her daughter Tang Qingqing, smiled, lowered her head and whispered to her daughter Tang Qingqing: "Is your dad the best?"
"Yes, my dad is the best in the world!" Tang raised his little pink fist lightly, and said in a milky voice: "Long live Dad!"
Tang's father and Tang's mother next to him couldn't help laughing, and then rubbed Tang's light hair dotingly.
The game restarted, and the French team, which was equalized by the Chinese team, took advantage of the kick-off to quickly launch a wave of offensive against the Chinese team's defensive half.
Pogba, who was eager to help the team overtake the score, saw that Tang Zheng and Li Kui were a little far away, and shot directly from 30 meters from the goal.
Still, he was influenced by Tang Zheng, and the ball was over the crossbar.
The draw in the first round was a completely acceptable result for the Chinese team, and reasonable consumption of game time became the main theme of injury time.
Yan Junling and Jiang Zhipeng also received a yellow card for this, but their efforts were rewarded, and the score was still 2:2 in the fourth minute of injury time.
With five minutes of stoppage time ticking down, fans at the Kazan Stadium grew nervous as they feared their side would be beaten in the closing stages of the game.
In fact, at this stage of the game, neither Deschamps nor Lippi dared to act rashly.
Once you concede a goal, it's a killer!
This group stage is only the first game of Group C, and there are two more group games to come, so there is no need to fight hard at this time.
In addition, the Chinese team retreated as one, and the score did not change until the referee Cunha blew the whistle at the end of the game.
In the end, the French team and the Chinese team played 2:2 at the Kazan Stadium, scoring one point each.
