44. The last ten minutes
In the sky of the New Water Source Arena, the clouds had unconsciously gathered together, and now some raindrops were falling down in a trickle. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The originally hot and humid field was a little cooler, but the field became more slippery.
"Phew! It's raining! Bad luck! ”
Gervinho found the best reason for his faulty kick as he spat on the ground and turned away from goal.
He hadn't forgotten to comb his already unsightly pigtails......
Zeng Cheng, the goalkeeper of the Chinese team, asked for a football from a caddie on the sidelines and threw it on the ground casually, ready to kick the goal kick.
The goalkeeper's goal kick cannot be interfered with by outsiders, so he can delay a little.
He looked at the movements of the players on both sides of the pitch as he slowly thought about his next move.
Is this ball kicked directly with a big foot? Or is it propulsion from the ground with a short pass?
-
"The Chinese team has just escaped, and they have fallen a few times in the back, and it seems that they want to calm the tension of the players by slowing down the pace of attack......"
The Ivory Coast commentator analyzed the current tactical intentions of the Chinese team according to his own understanding.
It can't be said that his analysis was incorrect: in the final minute of the game, the physical decline of the Chinese backline really wanted to waste some time with an inverted pass from the back, and then keep the score 2-2 until the end.
A draw and a point is at least much better than conceding another goal and not getting a point, right?
As for the goals...... What does this have to do with them?
That's Captain Goode's business!
-
China's midfield is happily kicking back, but the Ivorians are no fool.
Their morale hasn't dropped yet, and they're not content with a 2-2 draw!
Since our overall strength is obviously much higher than that of our opponents, why not go for a victory?!
The whole team of Côte d'Ivoire started to press high directly from the front!
"Be careful!"
Duan Yixuan and He Wei shouted in unison, and Zhang Lu beside them was also so frightened that he sweated.
Just now, Zhao Xuyang passed the ball back, and Zhang Linpeng was about to receive the ball, but was knocked to the ground by Drogba, who was rushing over, with his strong body.
If the referee turns a blind eye to Drogba's foul, the Ivorian monster will already be in an unguarded one-on-one state!
Fortunately, the Brazilian referee, although not too high-level, was impeccable in his professionalism, and he blew the iron whistle in time for such an obvious foul, so that the Ivorian fans' celebration plan was aborted in infancy.
Immediately afterwards, Sun Jihai also made a mistake when defending Gervinho, and his feet slipped in the process of retreating at high speed, and the whole person lost his center of gravity. Fortunately, he is very experienced, and even when he fell, he did not forget to pull his opponent to the ground......
Ivory Coast were given a free-kick on the edge of the box, and their manager Lamusi also made three changes: full-back Aurier, who had been opposite Chingoude in the first 75 minutes, was the first to come off due to physical exhaustion; Gervinho, who had wasted many chances, was replaced by another striker, Yakonan; Defender Die, who was booked, was replaced by striker Bony.
"Ivory Coast has an attacking formation with three strikers!" Duan Yixuan was taken aback, "They want to attack?!" ”
Even pseudo-fans who know little about football can understand Côte d'Ivoire's intentions after seeing such substitutions.
The biggest advantage of the African players over the Chinese players was exposed in the final moments of the game, and their physical fitness was not at all comparable to the domestic players!
The scariest thing is...... This is still when these Chinese players rarely participate in the attack and have already saved some of their physical strength!
The 36-year-old Drogba has been raging between 25-year-old Zhang Linpeng and 29-year-old Feng Xiaoting almost unscrupulously, and his physical fitness is completely capable of crushing the two main central defenders of the Chinese team; And with the addition of Yakonan and Boni, not only Sun Jihai and Rong Ritian must be highly nervous, but Zhao Xuyang and Huang Bowen also have to put all their energy on defense.
Lippi even put the last substitution on defense: he replaced Hao Jun, who was no longer able to break through with the ball, with central defender Li Xuepeng, wanting to use the numerical advantage to make the inside of the penalty area an iron wall.
In this way, there are only two people who can attack, Qin Gude and Yu Hai, who came on the bench......
Of course, no one expects the latter to become a savior at this moment, otherwise he would not have been criticized by many netizens who do not know the truth as a "related account of the leadership of the Football Association......
-
"It's dangerous!"
"Zheng Zhi sacrificed himself to block!"
"Oops!"
"Zeng Chengli attacked in time!"
"Be careful!"
"Sun Jihai's treasure knife is not old!"
……
In those last ten minutes, Duan Yixuan's voice barely stopped, and his shouting echoed in hundreds of millions of homes in China.
Many fans who don't have heart disease almost suffered a heart attack from him......
And those fans with uncomfortable hearts couldn't help but take a few fast-acting heart-saving pills in advance.
Shao Jiayi, Wu Lei, and Hao Jun, who were sitting on the bench, were working with the other four substitute players who did not play, wiping their sweat and rain all over their bodies, while staring closely at their goal, for fear that in the blink of an eye, Ivory Coast would score a goal that overtook the score, and the Chinese team's 90-minute efforts would come to naught.
Zhang Linpeng no longer remembers the first time he barely jumped up to compete with the Ivorian monster for a high-altitude ball.
Is Drogba really 36 years old?
Is he really 11 years older than his 25-year-old self?!
Why...... This guy doesn't seem to be even gasping for breath?!
Of course, Drogba is already old, otherwise a Chinese player like Zhang Linpeng, he may be able to kill three by himself!
I can only do two now......
He couldn't help but shake his head, a little sad about his aging.
In the header battle just now, although he jumped up against his opponent, he couldn't fight for a comfortable angle: because when he jumped, Zhang Linpeng just put his shoulder on his chest, even if he was as strong as a monster, he couldn't help but be stunned by the action of taking off.
Li Xuepeng, who was making up the defense from the side, immediately cleared the ball out of the penalty area, and Huang Bowen rounded his big foot and cleared the siege with a heavy artillery that was not boundary!
Heavy artillery to break the siege means...... He kicked it very hard!
"Bang!"
Yu Hai, the left defender who was less than 15 meters away from Huang Bowen, was suddenly attacked by an unknown object just now.
He was defending the right wing-back of Ivory Coast, but he was hit in the chest by a black shadow flying from the middle, if it weren't for his body being quite strong, and he had just been on the field for more than ten minutes, and his physical condition was good, otherwise he would have fainted directly on the spot......
The force of this kick is so huge that after hitting Yu Hai, the football even rebounded more than ten meters towards the middle.
Then it just landed at the feet of Qin Gude.
Qin Gude glanced at Yu Hai, whose face was as white as paper, but his neck was flushed, and he was slowly sitting on the ground, and shouted "I'm sorry" in his heart.
He didn't kick the ball out of bounds, so the team doctor came on the field to check on Yu Hai...... Instead, he pulled the ball sideways and rushed towards Colo Toure!
Sorry, brother!
I will not forget the great sacrifice you made for Chinese football!
Lie down in peace!
Next, it's my showtime! (To be continued.) )
