Chapter 014: "Killing" Camacho?

Tang Zheng's first touch of the ball won the ball for the Chinese team, the second touch made the team's situation very clear, and the third touch was more direct, turning the score from 2:0 to 2:1.

What does it mean to be a world-class footballer?

This is a world-class footballer!

He doesn't need to touch the ball too much to attract the opponent's attention, but relies on the awareness of half a second faster to win the first opportunity.

As for the final goal, it was completely attributed to Tang Zheng's ability to grasp in front of the goal.

The attacking midfielder who can score the most goals in the 2012-2013 season really lives up to his name!

He Wei, the commentator of Yang 5, was full of passion: "I once said that watching Tang Zheng play football is a pleasure! I believe that the fans in front of the TV have agreed with me, and his control and grasp of the game situation is really unbelievable! He does not have much time to touch the ball, but he can often play the greatest role! This ...... Maybe it's the difference between an average player and a top star. ”

As the Chinese players jogged toward their own half, they led Tang Zheng to incite the Chinese fans in the stadium — waving up and down with their arms outstretched.

The Chinese fans in the stands, instigated by Tang Zheng, created even louder cheers.

At this moment, the Seoul World Cup Stadium seemed to have become the home stadium of the Chinese team, and deafening cheers swept through the entire stadium.

Immediately, the live director switched the camera to the Korean players on the field.

They looked very helpless, especially Kim Young-kwon and Ji Chengyong, and the goal conceded by their side was directly related to their lack of concentration.

If Tang Zheng had just posted the ball to the side as soon as he jumped, then this lost ball would no longer exist.

But there are no ifs in the world, and what they can do is to complete the defensive tasks assigned by head coach Choi Kang-hee in the next game time.

What task?

Naturally, it was a strategic foul against Tang Zheng.

In this regard, He Wei, the commentator of the Central 5 Commentary, said angrily: "The South Korean team's strategy against Tang Zheng is very obvious and very bad! They hope to contain Tang Zheng with fouls! Maradona called on FIFA to introduce a policy to protect Messi! I think FIFA should also protect Tang Zheng!"

The reason why Yiltotov was able to become the golden whistle in Asia is because of his excellent penalty scale and control of the game.

The South Korean player's foul intention towards Tang Zheng was obvious, so Ilmatov did not take into account that this was South Korea's home stadium when he realized this.

After all, FIFA's top referee training course has corresponding 'unspoken rules', and referees should reasonably 'take care' of those top players with decent style to avoid them being fouled by opposing players.

Besides, Ji Chengyong, Li Zhouming, and Guo Taihui have made strategic fouls against Tang Zheng in a row, and Ilmatov can't do it if he doesn't blow the whistle.

With the referee's 'escort', the defenders of the South Korean team did not dare to move too much.

Ilmatov's penalty scale is outstanding, as long as it is a clear tactical foul, it will be a warning at least and a yellow card at worst.

Ji Chengyong received a yellow card for putting down Tang Zheng on the side, and also received a warning from Ilmatov.

South Korea's head coach Choi Kang-hee, who was standing on the sidelines, was dissatisfied, and he spread his hands to face the fourth official, complaining that referee Ilmatov's decision was too harsh.

The on-site director keenly captured this, and Huang Jianxiang, the commentator of New Wolf Sports, sneered: "What is there to complain about? If such a foul is used on a South Korean player, I bet it! His emotions are even more excited than now!"

Despite being taken care of by the referee, Tang Zheng still played very cautiously in the next game, being able to pass the ball as much as possible with one kick, and wait until he got rid of the defense of the Korean players and then asked for the ball to organize the frontcourt attack.

In terms of tacit understanding, Tang Zheng is not worried.

Whether it is Artemisia Junmin, Wu Sanshi, or Gao Lin, who is not in good shape in this game, they have a strong sense of cooperation, especially Artemisia Junmin, who has the highest tacit understanding with Tang Zheng.

With Tang Zheng playing, the midfield advantage of the Chinese team was gradually reflected.

Zhao Xuri's defense is a little reckless, but he is full of domineering, Wu Xi can play the ball and plug in, Tang Zheng can attack and defend well, and run actively ghosts, he is like a chemical catalyst, making the Chinese team's midfield full of activity.

In addition, the South Korean team focused too much on the lively Tang Zheng, so that the other Chinese players were given too much space.

Choi Kang-hee walked back and forth in front of the home team's coach's box, looking at the pitch from time to time and shaking his head frequently.

The current situation is very bad for the South Korean team, Tang Zheng scored a goal for the Chinese team soon after he played, the Chinese team is now highly motivated, and Tang Zheng's activity space can not be effectively contained.

If this continues, it will be very bad for the goal.

※※※

"What should I do?"

Cui Kangxi, who returned to the coach's seat, frowned tightly and nervously communicated with his assistant.

At this time, the Chinese team launched another wave of offensives, Tang Zheng took advantage of Ji Chengyong's hidden danger of carrying a yellow card in the attack 40-meter area to accelerate unreasonably, and Li Mingzhou, who was not tall, did not pull it.

The double central defenders Guo Taihui and Kim Yingquan did not dare to step forward to defend under the insertion in front of Wu Sanshi, so Tang Zheng took this opportunity to suddenly shoot from 32 meters from the goal.

Tang Zheng's long-range shot was full of power, and the football did not rotate in mid-air, like a disemboweled cannonball hitting the goal.

Fortunately, goalkeeper Zheng Chenglong stood in a good position, jumped the spot and pulled the football away from the original trajectory with one palm, and the football flew out of the bottom line by grazing the outer edge of the goal post on the right side, and then smashed the billboard, making a crisp collision sound.

"Oh, oh, oh-"

Suddenly, a deafening exclamation rang out at the Seoul World Cup Stadium.

Cui Kangxi, who witnessed this scene, patted his left chest with palpitations, and then hurriedly asked his assistant to call Ha Dae-sung from the warm-up area and wait for him to appear.

With Tang Zheng on the field, the Chinese team gradually controlled the midfield.

Choi Kang-hee's intentions are obvious, he hopes to play a role in containing Tang Zheng's involvement in the attack by increasing the number of defenders in the middle, and then maintain the score of 2:1 until the end of the game.

Hao Junmin took a corner kick, and it was Tang Zheng who grabbed the football landing point in the encirclement, but this time he failed to find the crosshair in the bag between Kim Yingquan and Ji Chengyong, and the football was high above the crossbar.

Immediately, the South Korean team made the third substitution of the game.

Ha Dacheng replaced Li Qinglong, who was not in good shape.

Yang 5 commentator He Wei frowned: "The South Korean team's substitution intention is to remove a wing attacker and add a defensive midfielder, it seems that Choi Kang-hee hopes that the score of 2:1 will be maintained until the end of the game, but ...... Will the game really go your way?"

With that, He Wei glanced at the game time.

82’53”

There are seven minutes left in regulation time, and about ten minutes left when you count stoppage time.

South Korea's SBS Sports TV commentator Park Chanyeol is more in favor of Choi Kang-hee's substitution, he nodded his head: "The substitution is very wise, Tang Zheng's presence has brought great pressure to our midfield defense, Ha Dacheng's addition can effectively curb Tang Zheng's activity space, there are still a few minutes left in the game, it is the most effective tactic to stabilize the existing score with defense, and seven days later, we will face a stronger Australia! ……”

I have to say that Cui Kangxi's substitution adjustment has greatly restricted Tang Zheng's play.

However, Tang Zheng adjusted more personally, and he was already aware of the Korean team's substitution intentions when Ha Dae-sung came on the field.

It's the same as the way you play after the goal, and you never drag the ball with one kick.

In addition, Tang Zheng's running position without the ball is a headache for the South Korean midfielder.

Football matches are often about watching people and not watching the ball, but it is very difficult to do in real games, after all, the ball carrier is often more of a threat to the goal.

There is no way to compare Artemisia Junmin's fame with Tang Zheng, but there is not much difference in all aspects of ability, and he can transmit and organize suddenly.

Wu Sanshi has been trained for most of the Swiss Super League, and his no-ball running and coordination awareness have increased significantly, and this game is even more vividly reflected, otherwise Camacho's previous adjustment choice is Wu Sanshi instead of Gao Lin.

Of course, Ha Dae-sung's appearance increased the hardness and coverage of South Korea's midfield, and China's midfield advantage, although obvious, threatened Zheng Chenglong's shot to be effectively controlled.

In the blink of an eye, the game came to the 88th minute, and the atmosphere at the Seoul World Cup Stadium became more and more frenetic.

The home fans hope that the existing score will continue, and the away fans hope that Tang Zheng will lead the Chinese team to equalize or even overtake the score.

The game time is getting less and less, but the Chinese team's attack is carried out in an orderly manner under the deliberate control of Tang Zheng and Hao Junmin, and there is no impatience in the slightest because of the reduction of time.

This is extremely rare in previous Chinese team games.

Choi Kang-hee and Camacho stood in front of their respective coaches' seats, with their arms crossed over their chests, watching the game intently.

The former wants the score to remain until full-time, while the latter hopes that the Chinese team can at least equalize.

Because of the other game in the same group, there was no surprise that Australia won, and it was a big win.

If the Chinese team loses to the South Korean team in this game, it is very likely that the final round will be jointly done by South Korea and Australia.

Previously, in order to suppress Tang Zheng, he sat on the bench for most of the time, if the game was lost in the end, who else would be responsible for it?

So Camacho, who was standing on the sidelines, was very anxious, but there was nothing he could do.

All the adjustments that should have been made had been made, and he had to wait.

But...... Time is running out!

When I looked up, the time had come to eighty-nine minutes.

At this time, the Chinese team's offense was still patient, making full use of the width of the court to dispatch the South Korean team's defense back and forth.

In the face of the all-out retreating South Korean team, this offensive method is the most suitable, but in the eyes of Camacho, he believes that Tang Zheng teamed up with the whole team to target himself and use this crucial World Cup qualifier to do himself.

Under the traction of Wanda Group, the work contract he signed with the Chinese Football Association is a 2+2 model, which means that the Chinese team did not enter the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, and the contract signed in August 2011 ended at the end of July this year.

With his current coaching resume, there is no second job with an annual salary of 4.3 million euros after tax.

As the match progressed, Camacho increasingly believed that Tang Zheng was deliberately consuming game time.

Because he saw that Tang Zheng did not enter the attacking 30-meter area at all during this critical time, he was more engaged in tandem organization work outside the attacking 30-meter area.

After a while, the fourth official came to the sidelines and held up the electronic card for three minutes of stoppage time, and He Wei, the commentator of the Central 5 Commentary, began to be a little worried: "There are still three minutes to go, and the offensive rhythm of the Chinese team should be ......."

He Wei's "should speed up" was not finished, Tang Zheng, who had been holding the ball with his back to the goal, suddenly used the outside of his left foot to pry the ball to Hao Junmin, and then completed a 90-degree clockwise turn against He Dacheng's body.

He Dacheng subconsciously took a step to the right, following Tang Zheng's steps.

At this moment, Tang Zheng suddenly stopped in place and retreated, widening the distance from He Dacheng.

Hao Junmin leaned forward with his upper body, pulled the ball back with the sole of his right foot, and handed it back to Tang Zheng.

Taking advantage of the fact that He Dacheng was not yet close, Tang Zheng led the ball to the right front with the outside of his right foot, and came to a cross run with Hao Junmin, running to the right rib of the attack.

It takes time for Ha Dacheng to get close to Tang Zheng, and Ji Chengyong is naturally aware of this, so he shoulders the responsibility of defending Tang Zheng, while Ha Dacheng shoulders the cross-running Hao Junmin.

But Tang Zheng didn't give him a chance, and stopped sharply on the spot, and used the instep of his right foot to buckle the ball to the left, Ji Chengyong subconsciously stretched out his foot to kick the ball, but he was half a beat slower and didn't kick the ball.

Tang Zheng took a big step forward with his left foot and opened up the distance, so that Ji Chengyong had no way to foul him.

Tang Zheng, who has a strong explosive power, started on the spot and killed forward.

Central defender Kim Young-kwon has a strong sense of filling in and realises that he should make up for the mistakes made by Ha Dae-sung and Ji Sung-yong.

"Whoa—"

At the same time, the Chinese fans at the Seoul World Cup stadium broke out in an instant, creating a huge cheer.

Instead, the South Korean fans held their breath and covered their mouths with their hands, nervous.

Tang Zheng, who was dribbling forward, saw Jin Yingquan leave his defensive position, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, and the toes of his right foot suddenly rubbed to the bottom of the football.

The football appeared in front of Kim Yingquan, who was making up for the defense, and he jumped subconsciously, but his action was to jump again after seeing the football, which was equivalent to half a beat slower.

Suddenly, I was shocked.

Just now, I was just thinking about filling the position, but I didn't think that a large gap would be exposed behind my back......

Out of his eye, he saw a familiar voice.

Former teammate Zhang Linpeng of the club was like a white lightning bolt, passing from the left side and inserting it into the space behind him.

"Zhang Linpeng!!"

Yang 5 commentator He Wei hysterically raised his voice.

Tang Zheng's pick pass and Zhang Linpeng's running position were just right, and Zhang Linpeng, who was running at high speed, smashed the ball hard with his head into a large open area in front of him and entered the penalty area.

"Oh, oh, oh-"

In the exclamation of the home team's fans, goalkeeper Zheng Chenglong decisively abandoned the goal, Zhang Linpeng adjusted slightly, and then rounded his thighs.

Zheng Chenglong froze in place, lowered his body's center of gravity, opened his arms naturally, and stared at Zhang Linpeng's right leg.

Facing Zheng Chenglong, who attacked, Zhang Linpeng did not hit the goal directly, his round right thigh was quickly put down, and the ball was pushed to the middle of the goal with the arch of his foot.

Chinese fans who broadcast live on TV can clearly see the football rolling towards Hao Junmin in the middle of the penalty area, and Hao Junmin's next job is extremely simple, he pushes with the arch of his foot, kicks a half-high ball, and the football jumps over the body of Guo Taihui, who has fallen to the ground, and falls into the goal that has been unguarded......
