Chapter 55: The Jedi Strikes Back
As soon as the second half came up, the Japanese team strengthened the frontcourt pass control, and deserved to be the favorites to win the tournament, under their strong control, the Chinese team became a little busy and overwhelmed.
The Japanese team seized the opportunity to attack the Chinese team's penalty area, and the Japanese team's onslaught finally paid off.
In the 52nd minute of the game, the Japanese team's striker Yoshimadano touched the ball from the midfield, made continuous feints, passed several Chinese team players who came forward to intercept, and shot at the periphery of the small penalty area, sending the ball into the goal of the Chinese team.
At 1:1, the Japanese team equalized, and the two sides returned to the same running line again.
For the Chinese team, it is clear that this is not a good situation.
Therefore, not long after the Japanese team scored, coach Li Zong took the lead in making personnel adjustments, Li Zong replaced midfielder Zhang Yang and replaced striker Liang Haoxian.
Try to strengthen the attacking lineup in front of the court through guò to score goals!
Li Zong's substitution was effective at first, after striker Liang Haoxian came on the field, the overall possession of the Chinese team improved, and the half-time pressing of the Japanese team was also one step closer, but in the end, it was not converted into a goal.
What's worse is that in the 70th minute, the Japanese team used a quick offensive and defensive transition to score another goal to overtake the score, and the score became 2; 1
At this point, the situation has become very bad for the Chinese team.
At this time, someone in the Chinese team must stand up, otherwise, the so-called winning the final championship can only be a slogan.
The Japanese team, who lead the score, did not let up in any way, and they are still trying to find opportunities to expand the score again.
In the stands, when the Chinese team fell behind, the fans also looked stern.
This includes Chen Tao and Dong Hao.
"Lao Dong, you say, Xiaolong, they won't lose, right?"
Chen Tao looked at the Chinese team players on the field and asked Dong Hao beside him!
Dong Hao: Until the end of the game, no one can say that the Chinese team lost this game, Lao Chen, you remember, the reason why football is so popular is because on the football field, it is possible to stage a miracle at any time.
When Dong Hao said these words, his eyes kept looking at Chen Long who was running the court, and he didn't know why, he felt that Chen Long might be the one who was about to perform a miracle, although he didn't have the slightest certainty in his heart.
In fact, not only Dong Hao, but also in the stands, in several other positions, at this moment, there are also several pairs of eyes staring at Chen Long, the same thing, they all hope that at this time, Chen Long can stand up.
In the 75th minute of the game, the football came to the feet of Chen Long, who was in the midfield, this time, Chen Long, who got the pass, did not pass the ball quickly, but put the ball at his feet and began to pay attention to the position of other players on the field.
The previous many failed passes made Chen Long realize that blindly passing the ball directly to the frontcourt players, including him, was not the best choice.
"Maybe you can try to move the ball in a wide range and disrupt the defense of the Japanese team, and at the same time, add ,,, just do it"
After finalizing his attention, Chen Long suddenly shot with his right foot and passed the ball vigorously to the feet of fullback Zhao Wei.
At the same time as passing the ball out again, Chen Long also quickly ran across the half court and made a hidden gesture to several forwards on his left and right.
Chen Long made this gesture, and several forwards understood the meaning of it, and they had trained before the game.
Immediately, several of them, including Chen Long, chose to retreat and left the Japanese team's half.
Because they didn't have the ball at their feet, the Japanese players didn't choose to defend closely, which meant that there was a lot of space around them at the moment.
Subsequently, fullback Zhao Wei chose a straight long pass and passed the ball to winger Fang Xu when facing the pressing of the Japanese team players.
Fang Xu, who got the pass, instantly attracted two Japanese players who stepped forward to scramble, and in the face of the Japanese players who came forward to wrap up, Fang Xu chose to dribble and cut inside.
At this time, the ball had already been carried over the Japanese team's half, and Fang Xu's surroundings were now surrounded by more and more Japanese team players.
Facing several menacing Japanese players, Fang Xu knew that if he didn't pass the ball again, the ball might be lost, but counting the time, it should be about the same.
Therefore, there was the next scene, in the face of several Japanese players who were gradually surrounding, Fang Xu pushed with his right heel and passed the ball to the feet of Chen Long, the middle who was in an empty position and had no defender in front of him.
This time, Chen Long, who got the pass, suddenly burst out with a "cheetah" speed that had not been seen in the previous game, and instantly took the ball to the Japanese team's penalty area, and made a vigorous volley in the desperate eyes of the Japanese players who came forward to chase after him.
Eventually, the ball quickly swiped over the head of the Japanese goalkeeper and smashed into the net.
"Pretty"
At the moment when Chen Long scored the goal, in the stands, several of the same praises were remembered at the same time!
"The ball went in"
The Chinese team finally equalized, and the score became 2:2.
At this moment, the cheers of the fans in the stands were deafening, and they were all celebrating wildly, although it was only an equalizer, but Chen Long's goal retained the hope of the Chinese team to win in the end!
"This little guy is doing a nice job"
Li Zong excitedly hugged the assistant coach Yake next to him, he forgot about the terrifying speed of Chen Long's peers, and at the same time, he also understood that the goal just now must have been planned by Chen Long.
On the field, after scoring a goal, Chen Long was about to turn around and celebrate with his teammates, but the moment he turned around, he found several figures rushing towards him instantly, including Fang Xu, who had assisted him just now.
While being surrounded by his teammates, Chen Long vaguely heard it.
Fang Xu: Xiaolongzi, you are really cunning.
Zhao Wei: What kind of cunning, this is called wisdom.
………………
In the stands, when Chen Long completed this series of actions in an instant from planning to scoring. For the first time, Raleigh smiled satisfactorily at Long Chen.
On the other side, witnessing her son scoring a goal to help the Chinese team equalize, Liu Xin was so excited that she had already cried, lying on Chen Tao's shoulder, and kept crying!
After a short celebration, the game resumes!
On the football field, sometimes, maybe that's it, the equalizer is far more significant than helping the team take the lead, at least that's what Chen Long's goal is.
After the game restarted, the Chinese team, which saw the hope of winning again, was full of morale, just like at the beginning of the game, and once again began to bombard the Japanese team's penalty area.
In the 85th minute, midfielder Wang Kai made a long pass and assisted striker Fang Xu to score a goal to overtake the score, and the score became 2:3, and the Chinese team took the lead again.
In the end, the referee blew the whistle at the end of the game, relying on Chen Long's "brace" and Fang Xu's killer goal, the boys of the Chinese team advanced to the semi-finals with their heads held high!
Without a doubt, the best player of the match was Chen Long! This is almost everyone's unanimous opinion!
