Chapter 444: A bitter battle with the Germans in the semifinals

After a few days of rest, on July 4, the quarterfinals kicked off, and the first match was the German-French clash between Germany and France.

At the Maracanã Stadium in Rio de Janeiro, Germany beat France 1-0 to advance to the semi-finals.

Two hours after the match between France and Germany, the 1/4 finals between the Chinese team and the South American Condor Colombia officially began.

In this game, Zhang Huasong began to test his master-level defensive position, and the running distance of the whole game was close to 20,000 meters.

Not only did he score a hat-trick in attack, but he also contributed a considerable amount of strength in defence, helping the Chinese team to keep a clean sheet at the back.

In the end, with Zhang Huasong's hat trick, the Chinese team defeated Colombia 3-0 and advanced to the semifinals.

This is the first time that the Chinese team has kept a clean sheet against an opponent since entering the World Cup, and it is also the first time that they have won by more than 2 goals.

Zhang Huasong's wider range of running in the race, his role in defense, and his running distance of nearly 20,000 meters have aroused heated discussions among the media and industry insiders.

"Zhang Huasong incarnated as a defensive iron gate to help the Chinese team clean up Colombia and advance to the semifinals! 》

"A hat trick was scored on the offensive end, the opponent was clean on the defensive end, and Zhang Huasong ran nearly 20,000 meters to become an all-round warrior!" 》

"The Chinese team advanced to the semi-finals, and Zhang Huasong scored 12 goals, which is only 1 goal away from Fontaine's world record of 13 goals in a single World Cup! 》

In the other two quarter-finals, the Netherlands defeated Costa Rica and Argentina defeated Belgium to reach the semi-finals.

The final four players are Germany, China, the Netherlands, and Argentina, and the semi-finals are China vs. Germany and the Netherlands vs. Argentina.

On July 8, the first match of the semifinals of the 2014 World Cup in Brazil between China and Germany started as scheduled at the Minellang Arena.

In this game, Zhang Huasong was unusual, almost half of his energy was put into defense, and he spared no effort to sprint back and forth near the midfield to defend and block the German team's attack.

In the media seats, in the stands, and in front of the TV, countless fans watched inexplicably.

Facing the Netherlands, Spain, and Brazil, which are famous for their attacks, Zhang Huasong did not have such a performance, why did he appear so cautious in the face of the German team, almost did not counterattack, and put most of his energy into defense?

Zhang Huasong naturally won't tell everyone that the German team in parallel time and space is like a hanging, 7-1 sweep of five-star Brazil, he has to guard against it!

Moreover, the defensive strength of the Chinese team is weaker than that of the Brazilian team! If the German team can play Brazil 7-1, it is entirely possible to play a higher score against the Chinese team!

Even if Zhang Huasong can score 6 goals in a single game, he may not be able to offset the Germans' goals, and he may still lose the game in the end!

Therefore, in Zhang Huasong's heart, the defense of this game is more important!

Of course, Zhang Huasong is not completely non-attacking! As long as there is a good counter-attacking opportunity, he will still attack the German defense with the ball and try to score!

However, this way of playing is bound to make Zhang Huasong consume more physical strength!

In just 45 minutes of the first half, Zhang Huasong ran an astonishing 10,000 meters, more than the 90-minute distance of many players.

This can see what kind of struggle Zhang Huasong went through in the first half!

At halftime, Zhang Huasong looked out of breath and tired for the first time in a football game!

However, although he was very tired, Zhang Huasong came off with a smile!

Because, although Zhang Huasong, who invested too much energy in the defensive end, did not score in the first half, but with his help, the Chinese team's backline did not let the German team score a goal: the two sides played to a 0-0 draw in the first half.

History has been changed, and the German team, which did not score a goal in the first half, can no longer play like a crazy state in parallel time and space!

However, the spiritual attributes of the Germans have always been among the best in the world, and it can even be said that willpower is the first. In the second half, it was still a tough battle!

After a 15-minute break, the two sides switched sides and fought again, and Zhang Huasong, who had recovered his strength, still did not relax and focused most of his energy on the defensive end.

However, he still scored in the 73rd minute with a free kick, equaling Fontaine's record of 13 World Cup goals, and also helping China lead Germany 1-0.

At that moment, countless Chinese cheered and saw the possibility of advancing to the finals!

However, the Germans' willpower and ability to withstand pressure are really extraordinary!

After falling behind in the score, the Germans did not collapse, but launched an even more frantic attack!

Although Zhang Huasong went all out to participate in the defense, the running distance in the second half exceeded 10,000 meters, and he tried to hold the lead by one goal, but finally failed!

In the 89th minute, substitute Klose scored a header to help Germany equalize, and at the same time, Klose also brought Klose's total goals in four World Cups to 16, surpassing Ronaldo to become the all-time top scorer in the World Cup.

After 90 minutes of play, the Chinese team and the German team played to a 1-1 draw, and the two sides went into extra time.

After the start of extra time, although the other players of the Chinese team suffered serious physical wear and defense, they could hardly provide any help to Zhang Huasong's attack, but Zhang Huasong had more physical advantages than the Germans.

Although Zhang Huasong has run more than 20,000 meters in 90 minutes, his physical fitness that can run a marathon world record and the skills of sports miracle doctor and god-level physiotherapy have made his physical recovery much faster than everyone on the court.

Therefore, after entering overtime, Zhang Huasong's physical advantage is even more obvious!

With the assistance of the Chinese team's full retreat and Zhang Huasong's masterful defensive position, the Chinese team paid the price of one player being sent off with a red card and two players cramping in the 30-minute overtime, but the Chinese team still relied on the teamwork of the United Nations to block the Germans' crazy attack and did not let the Germans score a goal in the overtime.

On the Chinese side, Zhang Huasong was finally tackled by the Germans in the forbidden zone when he entered the forbidden zone in a counterattack in the 116th minute and won a penalty.

Seeing the referee pointing to the penalty spot, the Chinese fans in the stands cheered enthusiastically, and the German fans were like ashes!

This penalty may be a goal that decides the fate of the two teams in China and Germany!

In normal games, Zhang Huasong does not take penalty kicks, because his scoring ability does not need to rely on penalty kicks to brush up data.

However, the penalty kick in the semifinals of this World Cup, Zhang Huasong can no longer push it out!

Not to mention whether the exhausted Chinese team members can score or not, the pressure brought by the penalty kick that appeared at this time alone can crush them!

At this time, Zhang Huasong conceded a penalty, not to carry forward the style, but to shirk responsibility!

Therefore, this time, Zhang Huasong finally did not call for others to come up to take a penalty, but put the ball on the penalty spot himself, ready to take a penalty himself!

In the stands of the Minerlang Arena, countless people held their breath, waiting for the verdict of fate!
