The Chinese team's 19-year-old defensive midfielder Li Kui received a yellow card in the process of coming out for his teammates, and the Japanese players thought that the young Li Kui would be a big hidden danger for the Chinese team's next midfield defense, and it can be said that they used all kinds of means.

Additional action and verbal sarcasm.

No one thought that the young Li Kui controlled his emotions even better than most of the players on both sides, and he was not fooled at all, just like a very honest man, who couldn't fight back and scolded or scolded.

The head coach of the Japanese team, Aguirre, couldn't help but roll his eyes when he looked at Li Kui, who was as cunning as a little fox, if it was Tang Zheng, a top star who was used to seeing big scenes, it would be understandable, but why Li Kui had such a mature mind at the age of nineteen.

It's not scientific!

If the mind is so mature, why should it vent its emotions in a previous conflict and almost cause a conflict?

In fact, it is very simple, Li Kui is young enough, and he is innocent, and he has not yet controlled his emotions in place, and he didn't realize the dangerous situation after eating the card until he got a yellow card, but he knew that he couldn't show timidity at this time, otherwise he could only let people eat him.

The brave are not afraid to take on the great responsibility.

Li Kui's point not only failed to become the breakthrough point of the Japanese team, but also became the end point of their attack, allowing the Chinese team to get continuous and rapid counterattack opportunities.

It's a pity that Gao Lin and Wu Sanshi were a little restrained in their quick counter-attacks and couldn't play their personal best.

However, the Chinese team's attack did not work smoothly enough, and Hao Junmin's offensive organization ability was limited, and he played as a forward midfielder, and it was difficult for him to send threatening passes to the three teammates in front of him under the defense of Makoto Hasebe and Qianguishi.

Therefore, the offensive side can only rely on Lu Liang's personal ability to find opportunities on the left side of the attack for the time being, but the Japanese team players are familiar with Lu Liang's breakthrough rhythm and defend with half the effort, coupled with the help of the central midfielder, Lu Liang also failed to find space in the gap to threaten Kawashima Eiji to guard the goal.

Needless to say, the criticality of the semifinals of the Asian Cup, Tang Zheng, who has rich experience in the game, chose to focus on stability.

But once the opportunity arises, he will not hesitate to step forward to participate in the attack and give the Japanese team a fatal blow!

However, there was no such opportunity until the end of the first half, and the Japanese team, who chose to play steadily, also did not find space, so the first half of the final semi-final of the 2015 Asian Cup in Australia ended 0-0.

The frenetic atmosphere over Newcastle Stadium has dropped somewhat, not that the fans are no longer passionate, but that they need a breather for half the game to keep their better mental outlook until the crucial second half.

If the game is too close, it may even go to extra time.

The players on both sides of the game entered their respective locker rooms through the players' tunnel one after another, and the commentators in the on-site commentary seats also got a short break and handed over the commentary rights to the live broadcast room of the domestic TV station.

The LCD screen in the Beijing studio of CCTV 5 TV shows the highlights of the first half of the end, and the host Liu Jianhong stood next to him and said: "In the past 45 minutes, the Chinese team and the Japanese team have played inseparably, and no one has been able to break through the opponent's goal, but our offensive style is more characteristic than the Japanese team's offensive style, and it also continuously threatens Kawashima Eiji to guard the goal, but unfortunately the luck is not very good, otherwise the current score is not 0:0......"

At the same time, the Tokyo live broadcast room of Japan's J-Sports-1 TV station also had a host talk about the end of the first half, compared to Liu Jianhong's in that way, the Japanese commentator is more like criticizing the head coach Aguirre: "Our traditional tactical play is a never-ending foot pass, but Aguirre actually played a long pass without any technical content at a certain time in the game, which is contrary to the style of play we are familiar with in the past, there is no shortcut to success, so we must stick to the tradition." ”

※※※

Fifteen minutes of half-time passed quickly, the two sides returned to the pitch one after another, the empty seats in the stands were slowly filled, and the frenzied atmosphere of the game refilled the Newcastle Stadium, and the cheers rose higher and higher.

Before the start of the second half, neither the Chinese team nor the Japanese team made personnel changes.

Yibian fought again, and the rhythm of the game was the same as at the beginning of the first half, not letting go of the all-out attack, but investing part of the force to attack tentatively.

I don't know if the head coach of the Japanese team, Aguirre, did not give up, the Japanese team's attack at the beginning of the second half was consciously on Li Kui's side, obviously not believing that the young Li Kui could maintain 100% concentration under long-term pressure.

The Japanese team's offensive characteristics pay attention to the completion of reasonable passes and receptions in the dynamic, emphasizing teamwork, and the pertinence is very obvious, so Tang Zheng is worried, but ...... Soon, he realized that this was a good chance for the Chinese team.

Shinji Kagawa, Yasuhito Endo, and Keisuke Honda continuously passed the ball to the left rib of the Chinese team's defense, that is, the area where Li Kui was guarded.

Shinji Okazaki, who was at the front of the line, also slowly retreated, ready to be ready to respond at any time.

In addition, captain Makoto Hasebe and Kan Takashi also consciously ran forward as a contact point for the conduction part of the football.

The two full-backs, Takatoku Sakai and Yu Nagatomo, both pressed past the halfway line and their positions increased as the passing time grew.

Standing in the command area of the visiting team's coach, the head coach of the Chinese team Lippi raised his eyebrows, judging from the progress of the game, the Japanese team's attack in the second half seemed to be consciously opening a gap from Li Kui.

Li Kui's consistent performance after receiving a yellow card in the first half was surprising, but who can guarantee that a young player will continue to perform consistently under constant pressure?

In the Euro 2000 final, wasn't Cannavaro the strongest part of Italy's defense?

Trezeguet's final goal was scored by Cannavaro......

Why was Trezeguet able to force Cannavaro in the end, and not the main attack of the French team was concentrated on Cannavaro's side?

So much so that Cannavaro was too tired in extra time to have undue problems.

Thinking of this, Lippi looked up at the huge LCD screen hanging from the stadium, which showed most of the footage given by the live broadcaster, as well as the 0:0 score and the time to 52'56.

In other words, the second half of the game is about to enter the eighth minute, and Lippi is wondering if he can make adjustments in order to avoid Li Kui's two yellows and one red?

At this moment, a shout rang out over Newcastle Stadium: "Whoa, whoa—"

Lippi, who was deep in thought, subconsciously looked up at the field and saw Tang Zheng sweeping the football to Wu Sanshi, who returned to the right side of the defense, in the process of falling to the ground.

Five seconds ago, several players of the Japanese team made continuous passes in Li Kui's defensive area, and in order to temporarily transfer other Chinese players to support Li Kui, they also increased the speed and number of passes.

As the number of passes increased, Li Kui felt more and more pressure, and unknowingly left his defensive zone.

Just when he realized that it was too late to have a problem, Shinji Kagawa did not hesitate to pass the ball to Li Kui's original position, and Li Kui turned his head just in time to see Endo Hohito running towards the football landing point.

"Oops!"

The next moment, the frightened Li Kui's eyes lit up and he was pleasantly surprised.

Tang Zheng fell to the ground with a quick and accurate tackle to stop the ball at the feet of Shinji Kagawa to Endo Hohito, and then poked the toe of his right foot, and the football rolled towards Wu Sanshi.

※※※

"Whoa—"

A burst of chanting rang out over Newcastle Stadium.

After Tang Zheng completed the interception, he got up as soon as possible, and then ran forward very decisively.

Wu Sanshi, who received the pass, did not take the ball forward to organize the attack, but quickly handed it to Hao Junmin, and then accelerated forward along the right sideline of the attack.

Hao Junmin received the football neither too much adjustment, nor did he move forward with the ball, because his speed was slow and not suitable for advancing with the ball, so as a transfer station for football, he was directly handed over to Lu Liang, who was inserted at high speed on the left side.

The Japanese team's right-back Sakai Gaode previously participated in the attack and pressed a lot, and came to the 30-meter area of the attack, which means that the Chinese team was not in his defensive position during the transition from defense to attack!

"Foul—"

The head coach of the Japanese team, Aguirre, subconsciously took a step forward, and his upper body probed over the sideline without finding it, and shouted excitedly.

However, the huge shouts of the Chinese fans echoed over the Newcastle Stadium, and the players on the pitch were so focused on the game that they had no extra focus on the sidelines, so Aguirre's tactical instructions could not be passed on to the players on the pitch.

Of course, the players on the field are not like soccer games that require the player to be controlled remotely, and they who are experienced in the game know what to do in such situations.

Lu Liang was fast, and he was full of energy, and he kicked the football directly across the halfway line with the inside of his left instep in the high-speed run.

Shinji Kagawa and Lu Liang have a record of meeting in the Bundesliga, and he knows that Lu Liang can't be allowed to rush, so he takes the initiative to seek physical confrontation and tries to interfere with Lu Liang's acceleration, even if it is a foul.

But Lu Liang has strong explosiveness and accelerates extremely fast, and Shinji Kagawa, who is slow, only hit the jersey that flew slightly behind Lu Liang.

Shinji Kagawa, who was struggling to hit him, also lost his center of gravity and fell to the ground.

The captain Makoto Hasebe originally ran back with Tang Zheng, but after seeing Shinji Kagawa fall to the ground, he decisively gave up Tang Zheng and instead assisted in the defense of Lu Liang.

Lu Liang, who was running at high speed, was like a red lightning bolt, passing over the green grass, stimulating the visual nerves of Chinese fans in the stands and in front of the television.

Before the game, Japanese head coach Aguirre explained Lu Liang's technical characteristics to the players, so central defender Yoshida Ma did not dare to step forward to take the initiative to defend, but fought and retreated while keeping a safe distance from Lu Liang.

Gao Lin's forward insertion attracted the defensive attention of Mato Morinaka, and Sakai Takatoku was not in the defensive position, which was equivalent to saying that Yoshida Ma had no helper, and there was no one behind him to make up for the defense, and he had to wait for the captain Hasebe Makoto to assist in the defense.

Lu Liang obviously knew Maya Yoshida's thoughts, and after crossing the halfway line, he took the ball straight to Maya Yoshida.

Lu Liang, who came to the forty-meter attack area, was only two to three meters away from Maya Yoshida, so he had to slow down.

Considering Lu Liang's fast frequency and explosive power, Yoshida Ma still adopts a defensive strategy of fighting and retreating.

Seeing that Hasebe Makoto was about to run in place, Lu Liang suddenly crossed the top of the football with his right foot, and Maya Yoshida subconsciously thought that Lu Liang was going to accelerate and break through from the right, and the center of gravity of his body had a change of tilting to the left.

As a result, Lu Liang just dangled a shot, and his right foot did not touch the football.

Pedal a bike!

Lu Liang's feet are very fast, and while the sole of his right foot kicks the ground, the outside of his left foot violently flicks the ball to the left front.

Maya Yoshida is not explosive, but not weak either, realizing that the moment Lu Liang broke through from the opposite direction, his left foot kicked violently to the ground, and the huge reaction force made his body stagnate.

And the distance he kept from Lu Liang before also showed an effect at this time, even if the explosiveness was a little weaker, Yoshida Ma was sure to follow Lu Liang.

If there is physical contact, Maya Yoshida is even confident that he will be able to complete this defense.

However, what Yoshida Ma didn't expect was that Lu Liang did not accelerate from the outside of the ribs, but quickly used the inside of the instep of his left foot to push the ball sideways to the left.

Maya Yoshida's gaze followed the turn of the football, and he just saw a tall red figure appear in his eyes.

Is that...... Tang Zheng!

Tang Zheng, who had fully accelerated, was like a supercar stepping on the end, and the Qianguishi who followed the defense was left behind by him, and then overtook Makoto Hasebe, who was preparing to assist in the defense of Lu Liang, at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Maya Yoshida panicked, Aguirre panicked, and the Japanese fans in the stands and in front of the TV panicked......

Because the football that Lu Liang buckled to the right was exactly the same as Tang Zheng's running direction!

Tang Zheng's two long legs swung so fast that the fans in the stands couldn't even see his calf swing clearly, and he had adjusted his pace in the high-speed run, and all he had to do was to use the outside of his right foot to push the ball forward.

Gao Lin's diagonal attack on the right rib belt opened the defensive attention of Mato Morishige, which is equivalent to saying that there is a huge vacuum between Masato Morishige and Maya Yoshida.

Hasebe Makoto Yuguang saw Tang Zheng overtaking from behind, and subconsciously stretched out his right hand to pull Tang Zheng's jersey raised during the high-speed run, but Tang Zheng accelerated too fast, and Tang Zheng was broken free before he could pull the jersey hard.

Tang Zheng took the ball forward with the outside of his right foot and rushed forward without slowing down.

Maya Yoshida realized what was going to happen next, so he tried to reach out and trip Tang Zheng, but he only kicked a ball of air.

Goalkeeper Eiji Kawashima saw Tang Zheng swaying the ball to the top of the arc of the penalty area, and he had no choice but to abandon the goal.

"Tang Zheng—"

Live comment: Xi Yang 5 commentator He Wei stood up with both hands on the commentary seat, and his voice was an octave higher: "Single knife!!"

Tang Zheng's footwork is exquisite, the ball distance is moderate, he saw Kawashima Eiji abandon the door to attack during the run, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and at the top of the arc of the big penalty area, he gently flicked the ball to the right with the outside of his right foot, adjusted the step point, and then picked up his right foot to make a posture to hit the goal.

Kawashima Eiji stopped on the spot, lowered his center of gravity, and was ready to make a save at any time.

Tang Zheng kicked the football with his right foot, and Kawashima Yongji's body gravity pressed down to the left, but he regretted it as soon as he reacted, Tang Zheng's right foot kicked towards the football did not kick solidly, but shook a shot.

Facing Kawashima Eiji, who had already made a save, Tang Zheng's next thing to do was very simple......
