Chapter 128: Keep Going!
To be honest, for the situation of encountering South Korea in the quarterfinals, Chen Long and their hearts are calm!
Judging from the previous encounters between the two teams, the Chinese team obviously has the upper hand, especially a year later, that is, now, the Chinese team has the absolute upper hand. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Before the game, some South Korean media also expressed concern about the South Korean team's encounter with the Chinese team in one-eighth!
"Koreanophobia" is a term that was often mentioned in the football duel between China and South Korea a few years ago. However, judging from the results of the matches between the national teams of China and South Korea at all levels in recent years, for the Chinese team, it seems that the "Korean phobia" has long ceased to exist, and even the Chinese team's winning rate is higher.
Three days later, the showdown between China and South Korea was staged as scheduled!
The result of the game was also expected, the Chinese team, which had an obvious advantage in overall strength, did not give the South Korean team any chance, and defeated the South Korean team with a clean 3:0 and advanced to the quarterfinals.
In this game, Chen Long scored a goal, counting, this World Cup has been going on so far, Chen Long has scored in every game, and he is also at the top of the list of current scorers.
Next, Croatia has become an obstacle to the road, and the Chinese team must defeat Croatia if they want to advance to the semi-finals.
There is no doubt that in terms of overall strength alone, Croatia is inferior to the Chinese team, but at this time in the World Cup, any opponent has not been weak, or in other words, they all have their "killer feature".
Croatia is no exception, and their "killer feature" is their strong offensive firepower.
In the attacking front, they have players ranked 6th and 8th on the list of rising stars, which is absolutely terrifying, and for the Chinese team, they have to defend well.
The game with Croatia can be regarded as the most difficult game played by Chen Long so far, in the face of Croatia's terrifying offensive firepower, head coach Li Zong unexpectedly chose "offensive tactics"!
In this way, in this World Cup, the Chinese national junior team, which has always balanced offense and defense, staged a wonderful goal battle with the Croatian team with terrifying firepower in the quarterfinals of Croatia!
In the end, the Chinese team, which was more balanced in attack and defense, had the last laugh, and they advanced to the semi-finals with a score of 5:3!
In the match with Croatia, Chen Long staged a good show of one shot and three passes, while Ouyang Zhenhua scored a "hat trick", in addition, Fang Xu also scored a goal!
This also makes the outside world have more understanding of this Chinese national junior team, it turns out that the Chinese team also has a terrifying scoring ability, before this, in the eyes of the outside world, Chen Long's offensive ability is super strong, but this game with Croatia tells them that in addition to Chen Long, in the Chinese team, like Ouyang Zhenhua, Fang Xu, these players are also very scary!
After successfully advancing to the semi-finals, for the Chinese team, if they want to go further, then the real test of this World Cup will come, because, in the next semi-finals, they will face the second favorite to win the championship, and the overall strength is not weaker than their Brazilian U17 team!
After the start of the game, both teams played relatively conservatively, almost the first 20 minutes, both sides combined did not even have a single shot on goal, and the football was more controlled near the halfway line! However, judging from the performance of the two teams, during this period of time, the Brazilian team has the upper hand, they play relatively more comfortably, and the Chinese team is gradually forced to start compressing the defense!
Of course, as soon as this game came up, the Chinese team, which was obviously more focused on defense, obviously did not intend to let the Brazilian team score easily, and their defense was very good!
Twenty minutes have passed and Brazil still haven't scored!
Even the Brazilian commentator couldn't help but exclaim: "The Chinese have built a great wall in front of their goal!" In these twenty minutes of play, this line of defense is almost impassable, and there is nothing that can be done! The only thing that makes us feel at ease is that because of the full defense, the Chinese team's attack is not threatening, and the Chinese team's Chen Long, at this time, seems to be participating in the defense and does not get any support. But if we don't score as soon as possible, I'm worried that the young people will be upset......"
The Brazilian players were not worried that Brazil would concede the first goal at all.
All he thought about was how to score first.
Because in these 20 minutes, it seems that the Chinese team's attack is really not threatening.
So he automatically excluded Long Chen.
'Brazil have obviously stepped up their attack, they would love to score. If the Chinese team always defends like this, it will not work......" Huang Jianxiang also had to express concern about the situation.
Because of the semi-finals, it naturally attracted more Chinese fans to pay attention, whether it was to cheer for the Chinese team on the spot or to follow the game in front of the TV, there was obviously a lot more!
At this moment, the Chinese fans in front of the TV gradually frowned.
They are worried about whether they will put a heavy burden on the players because they want to win the championship too much, so they can only shrink and defend without attacking at all.
Don't say they're China, not Italy. No matter how good the defense is, if you only defend and don't attack, you still have to finish the game.
But where is the Chinese team's attack?
The Chinese team will never be stuck in this last game, right?
Although it is said that being able to break into the semi-finals of the U17 World Cup is already a rare good result in Chinese football.
But since they've all reached the semi-finals, why not go any further?
Wouldn't it be better if we could win the championship?
The champion is the best guy!
"Li Zong's tactics are obviously wrong...... I think the boys of the Chinese team should press out and fight against Brazil! We have players like Xiaolong, why don't we have the confidence to attack against Brazil? Chen Tao said with a frown.
Liu Xin next to him nodded and said: "Yes, the reason why this national junior team was able to reach the semifinals has a lot to do with our strong offensive firepower...... This game should play on the strengths and avoid the weaknesses, not the other way around......"
"Of course, Coach Li Zong's doing this must be up to his plan, we don't understand, don't judge blindly"
………………
Chen Tao and his wife, at this time, naturally paid close attention to the situation on the field in front of the TV, and occasionally, they also came to a few "professional comments"!
This kind of defense seems to many to be hopeless and helpless, and there is no hope or meaning at all.
But the boys of the national junior team know very well that it is definitely not meaningless for them to do this, on the contrary, they see hope. That hope is in Long Chen! You know, they're doing what Li Zong asked before the game!
In the 25th minute of the game, Brazilian player Glickie made a feint to pass the football to Alen, and then turned sharply, intending to force a breakthrough from the other side.
Asus, who had already been shaken away by him, pressed his entire body up, trying to interfere and stop Grichi.
Glick was indeed disturbed, his feet were half a beat slower, and as a result, the football broke off the central defender Wang Kai, who was following him.
Wang Kai grabbed in front of Glick and slammed his big foot towards the football!
"Another big kick to break the siege!" The Brazilian commentator shouted.
He is speechless for the Chinese team's completely destructive style of play.
Could it be that the Chinese team plans to hold on to the penalty shootout like this?
However, there were no media reports before the game that the Chinese team had specially practiced penalty kicks before the game......
"Wang Kai has a big foot and clears the football out!" Huang Jianxiang breathed a sigh of relief. "The Chinese team survived another attack from Brazil! But it's ...... go on like this."
He didn't finish his sentence, because he suddenly realized that the football did not fly out of the sideline, but flew straight to the front!
There's a lot of space because Brazil is on the attack.
And most importantly...... There's Long Chen there!
Is this a coincidence? Or did Wang Kai do it on purpose?
However, at this time, Huang Jianxiang didn't care about whether it was Wang Kaimeng or intentional, this question was in front of Chen Long's crazy figure...... It doesn't matter at all!
"Long Chen!!"
He shouted.
When this name is shouted in this form, it means that the Chinese team is creating a threatening attack!
The Chinese fans, who were still worried about the Chinese team's defense in front of the TV, also perked up their spirits and stared at the TV screen with wide eyes.
The Brazilian commentator, who was still complaining that the Chinese team would only drive big feet before, was silent at this time - he stared at the court and opened his mouth, but a syllable was released! It's like someone grabbed him by the throat!
On the pitch, it was China that terrified the Brazilian commentators so much!
The football that was vigorously kicked by Wang Kai in the front court landed very accurately, and this was definitely not a very casual kick to clear the siege!
Chen Long chased the football through the half.
Brazil's players dropped out across the board.
In this game, Brazil played 352 and put three central defenders in the backfield, Mika, Ceroso and Mre.
The three men didn't press up to participate in the attack, so they could retreat as soon as possible.
Among them, Mika rushed up to get close to Chen Long, interfering with him to get the ball next.
Seroso and Mre, on the other hand, quickly retreated to the defensive line and formed a second line of defense. At the same time, it is also a breakwater that forces Chen Long to slow down.
When Chen Long's dribbling is here, he has to slow down if he doesn't slow down.
The rest of the Brazilian players were quick to get back into defence.
As long as the three teammates can entangle Chen Long, even if they can't break the ball, as long as they come back, Chen Long will face a group of them alone, and the winning rate will be much lower.
Chen Long glanced up at the football as he ran.
The soccer ball was already in front of him, and it was falling.
Chen Long knew that there were people around him, but he didn't pay attention to this nobody at all - all of Brazil, Chen Long was a nobody in his eyes, and he couldn't remember their jersey number and the name printed on it...... Because he has the speed of a "cheetah"!
He didn't push his speed to the limit, in that case, he would have rushed straight past and couldn't catch the ball at all.
That's why Mika was able to keep up with him. If he really wants to shake off Mika, it's a blink of an eye. However, getting rid of Mika will make his next stop very troublesome and impossible to draw.
After the football had completely fallen, Chen Long finally slowed down, and Mika seized this opportunity to overtake Chen Long and block in front of Chen Long.
He wanted to break the ball when Chen Long had just stopped the ball. At this time, Chen Long must not have a stable foothold!
And this kind of high-altitude ball kicked from behind is very difficult to stop......
As soon as he thought this, he saw Long Chen raise his right foot and face the football.
When the surface of the foot and the football just came into contact, Chen Long's right leg quickly retreated, and the football did not bounce again, but fell down as if it was stuck to Chen Long's foot.
When he was about to hit the ground, Chen Long's right foot jerked away, and the ball fell directly to the ground, bouncing back, but not high.
Immediately after that, Chen Long's right leg picked up again, picked it up from the outside, and buckled it on the bouncing football.
Buckled the ball directly to the left.
This buckle just deducted Mika, who had just lifted his leg and wanted to break the ball!
"Huh...... Pretty! Nice stop ball to get rid of! It's reminiscent of Bergkamp at the 1998 World Cup in France! ”
In the cheers of Huang Jianxiang, Long Chen dodged Mika's kick, and then used his strength to start changing direction again, and rushed past Mika!
Without slowing down, he caught up with the football directly, dribbling to the Brazilian penalty area, and in front of him were Mre and Seroso!
The Brazilian was counting on Mika to be able to pester Chen Long close and delay a little longer.
Unexpectedly, for this extremely difficult ball, Chen Long handled it very well, and almost did not delay any time.
The Chinese fans in front of the TV have all risen from their seats, staring intently at the TV screen.
At the scene, countless Chinese fans let out huge cheers to cheer for Chen Long!
"Rush, Long Chen! Rush! ”
In the midst of their shouts, Chen Long took a few steps with the ball and approached Mray and Seroso, who were retreating, because they didn't expect Chen Long to break through Mika so easily, so the two of them didn't have time to return to the defense. Now I can only fight and retreat, stall for time, and wait for my teammates to come up with support.
Chen Long won't give them a chance to do that. If they retreat, they will speed up and catch up!
He didn't go to the side of the two people and ran to the side by himself, but greeted the two people and went straight to the middle of the road!
Murray and Seroso only took two steps back, and when they saw Chen Long speeding up with the ball, they realized that if they retreated again, they might have to give the other party a chance to shoot from a distance.
So he had no choice but to slow down the speed of retreat, and then lower his center of gravity and stare at Long Chen.
Just wait for the opponent to come up, and then go up with an arrow, even if you can't break the ball, you have to wrap your hands and feet around him!
They did this, but they played into the hands of Long Chen.
He gently moved the ball forward again, looking for Mre.
Seeing that the distance was already so close, Mray stretched out his foot to break the ball, and at the same time his hand also reached forward, intending to pull Chen Long's jersey or arm.
Chen Long's feet were much faster than his reactions!
After wading the ball out with the right foot, then buckle the ball to the left, then extend the left foot, and with a flick of the ankle, the ball will go between Mu and Seroso!
Deep-fried croquettes!
And he himself quickly dodged, dodged Murray's hands, and rushed between the two of them with the football!
The speed was so fast that Mray and Seroso had no way to react at all, and when they turned around, they only saw Chen Long riding the back of the Brazilian goal!
