Chapter 297: A Miracle Will Happen
"Da Liu, this is Da Liu's fourth goal in this World Cup, he is now at the top of the scorer list, this is the first time that a Chinese occupies the top of the World Cup scorer list, Da Liu is Da Liu, he never let us down. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
After Liu Han scored a goal, the host in CCTV's live broadcast room said excitedly that the one-to-one draw temporarily gave the Chinese team the possibility of qualifying.
The Chinese players looked quite happy after the goal, but more calmly, and after two games, they have built up a basic self-confidence.
The Turkish team was a little depressed about such a goal, and goalkeeper Rustu directly reprimanded Davara who was staring at Liu Han, and Dawala also unceremoniously began to talk back, and the two quickly quarreled, perhaps because of their personalities, Turkish players are generally violent and direct.
Although the Turkish team quickly regained its calm and finally came to the center circle to restart the game after being persuaded by their teammates, the quarrel still cast a shadow on the Turkish team.
This is often the case, when things have been going well, the people involved in this matter are often more calm and generous, but when things are not going well, people's mood will also become impatient and irritable, which can be seen from the comparison between the Chinese team and the Turkish team.
The game continued, the Turkish team attacked more rapidly, but their passing and cooperation became more and more direct, which also means that their offense is relatively simple, that is, to find confrontation, and then wait for the opportunity to play alone, this style of play may be very effective against the previous Chinese team, but now it is not easy, this Chinese team has been running in a situation of thinking for almost two years, and the players are very familiar with each other, especially because the idea of building the team is to defend and counterattack, so the defense of the Chinese team has made great progress in the past two years. This defensive model does not rely on the individual ability or physical fitness of a single player, but a group defensive idea, the distance between each defender is not large, as long as the one-on-one situation is broken, the person who fills the position behind will be in place for the first time, plus the original defender, Turkey's offensive players are basically unable to pass the ball calmly or continue to break through.
This kind of defense is quite similar to the chain defense of the Italians, but some differences are that the Chinese team still has Liu Han, Liu Han's strong physical fitness and physical strength can ensure that he runs all over the field, and the super fast speed ensures that Liu Han is timely in defense, which makes the original loopholes are filled by Liu Han, and China's defense can be said to be leakless.
Of course, this kind of defense is not invulnerable, if it encounters a team like Brazil or a team like Germany, the Chinese team's defense will not work, after all, no matter how leaky the defense is, it will be broken by the impact of a big flood.
As the game progressed, the situation of the Chinese team gradually recovered, Liu Han led the team to start fighting against the Turkish team in the midfield, and the young players in the midfield also did not hesitate to fight back on the spot or pestered the opponent's ball carrier.
There are indeed several players in the Turkish team who have outstanding foot skills, such as Basturk, such as substitute player Ilhan and others, they frequently show off their skills in front of each other in the game with the Brazilian team, which has attracted the attention of some people, but overall, the skills of Turkish players are still relatively rough, after the Chinese team withstood the pressure of attack, Turkey's midfielder began to lose the initiative, but the Chinese team began to organize a more effective attack.
However, as the game progressed, another loophole of the Chinese team appeared, although the Chinese team's defense is now very good, quite a bit of Oriental Italy, but this defensive mode requires the attention of every defender to be very concentrated, and every time the defense and change of defense must be resolute and decisive, but as the game progresses, the shortcomings of the Chinese team's players' lack of concentration are gradually revealed.
In the 39th minute of the game, Li Weifeng was too impulsive when defending Hassan, and was easily broken through by the opponent, and then Hassan sent a delicate through plug to Hakansuk, who easily pushed the goal in the penalty area, and the Chinese team was back behind.
This goal was quite a cheer for the Turkish team, and in the face of a game that can only be won to advance, the pressure on the Turkish players is actually much greater than that of the Chinese team.
However, the excitement of the Turkish players did not last more than ten minutes.
Before the end of the half, Zhang Yuning dribbled the ball on the bottom line in the last attack of the Chinese team, and the ball was directly kicked out of the bottom line by Turkish defender Asik, and the Chinese team got a corner kick opportunity.
Zhang Xiaorui sent a very high-quality corner kick on the left side, Liu Han dragged Dawala with his right arm, and there was Fatih's close defense behind him, but even this defense still failed to stop Liu Han from competing for this header, Liu Han's height advantage made him very dominant in the header.
In the face of Liu Han's powerful header, Rustu, who has always performed well, made a mistake in judgment, he saved too early, and the ball flew over Rustu's head into the goal after bounced off the ground, and the Chinese team tied the score before half-time.
After the goal, the Chinese players looked extremely excited this time, falling behind twice, equalizing twice, and Liu Han scored his fifth goal in the World Cup, and the hope of the Chinese team to advance is in sight.
In addition to the excitement of the Chinese team players on the field, the Chinese fans who watched the live broadcast were also very happy, because the current Chinese team made the fans feel at ease, and if the Chinese team can reach the top 16, then maybe the Chinese team is still expected to hit the top eight, because if the Chinese team qualifies next, then it will face the first place in Group H, and Group H is now in chaos, Japan, Belgium and Russia have the opportunity to rush to the top of the group, And these three teams, no matter who the Chinese team meets, they are all fighting strength.
The referee blew the whistle for the end of the half after the restart, and the two sides scored four goals in the first half, and the score of 2-2 also made the rest of the game full of suspense.
"Good job, boys, I'm proud of you."
As soon as he returned to the locker room, Horton said to the players with a red face, for the first half of the game, Horton was satisfied, although the opponent scored two goals, but from the perspective of the situation of the game, it is the Chinese team that occupies a certain advantage, and now, Horton has basically completed the task of the World Cup, and every breakthrough will become the glory of his coaching career.
"Brothers, we have to withstand the pressure in the second half, reach the round of 16, and we will return to China as heroes." (To be continued.) )
