Chapter 349: A Counterattack

"Ou, I didn't expect my hunch to come true!"

In the tunnel of the players, Ronaldo was obviously not satisfied with shaking hands, and stepped forward to hug Ou Chuliang.

patted the back of the big Brazilian bald head, Ou Chuliang did not have the slightest timidity.

"Ronnie, don't do this, I'm not interested in men!"

"Haha, of course I know, you're only interested in football!" Ronaldo made an exaggerated gesture, "You like to hold that round ball in your arms, of course I do!" ”

Hearing Ronaldo's ridicule, Ou Chuliang was not to be outdone: "Hmph, I like to hold the ball in my arms, but I don't just like to hold one ball, I also like to hold two!" ”

"Two?" Ronaldo didn't mean to get to Ou Chuliang for a while, and froze in place in a daze.

"Just like Susanna, if it were her two balls, I'd love to hug them!"

"Oh, Fack! Oh, how can you do this! Hearing what Ou Chuliang meant, Ronaldo immediately blushed.

The Brazilian players behind Ronaldo also heard Ou Chuliang's joke and immediately burst into laughter.

In this World Cup, many people have made jokes about Suzanne and Ronaldo. The appearance of a talented woman is true, but Susanna's innocent face is indeed too attractive.

"Ou, your taste is really good, just like us!" Cafu also stood up from the line and shook hands with Ou Chuliang.

The two play in Serie A, and they don't see each other when they look down, so they have an eye edge.

Then Carlos, Aldair, Rivaldo, these acquaintances also stepped forward to shake hands with Ou Chuliang, which attracted flashing lights for a while, and many Chinese players were envious.

Speaking of which, the Chinese team and the Brazilian team have also played against each other several times in the past two years, but these Brazilian stars only remember Ou Chuliang alone. Presumably, in addition to Ou Chuliang's handsome and sunny appearance, it is his super goalkeeping strength.

After shaking hands with the familiar Brazilian players and saying hello, Ronaldo came to Ou Chuliang "shamelessly" again: "Ou, you said I would score a few today?" ”

Hearing Ronaldo's big words, Achuria looked behind Ronaldo, and then pretended to be surprised: "Romario didn't come?" ”

"He was injured, so he was defeated." Ronaldo didn't understand why Ou Chuliang asked about this senior, but he replied anyway.

"That's it, you can't score." Ou Chuliang spread his hands, pretending to regret.

"What ???" Ronaldo was not happy when he heard it, what does it mean to "we can't score"?

"Am I not right?" Ou Chuliang asked rhetorically.

Ronaldo just wanted to refute, but suddenly it occurred to him that neither the Olympics nor the Confederations Cup helped Brazil score a goal for the Chinese team. And the only one who scored the goal was none other than Romario, whom Acchulian had just mentioned.

"That's all in the past!" After figuring out the joint, Ronaldo straightened his back, "Ou, I won't release any water in today's game, you just wait for me to break through the gate!" ”

Ronaldo is right, whether it is the group stage of the Olympic Games or the group stage of the Confederations Cup, the Brazilian team that the Chinese team meets is not the strongest Brazil, nor is it the Brazil that shows the greatest strength.

But now it's different, whether it's the World Cup or the knockout round, and the Brazilian team will never take it lightly.

Looking at Ronaldo's serious expression, Ou Chuliang suddenly said: "Ronnie, don't forget that you still owe me a personal favor!" ”

"Oh! Fake, O, you can't mention this at this point! Hearing Ou Chuliang mention this stubble, Ronaldo, who finally "mustered up the courage", suddenly deflated, "Ou, if... No, you're cheating! I'm fighting for my country now, I'm fighting for honor, you can't be so mean! ”

Seeing Ronaldo's indignant look, Ou Chulian laughed.

"Hahahaha, don't worry, Ronnie, do you think I'm that kind of person?"

Saying that, Ou Chuliang stepped forward and patted Ronaldo's shoulder, "As long as you go to China after the World Cup, don't worry, I'll take care of all the accommodation, and I'll just invite you to travel, how about it?" ”

"You mean really?"

"Of course, it's a deal!"

"Oh! Ou, I'll just say, you're so good, you won't cheat me! Ronaldo let out a sigh of relief, stretched out his hand and rubbed it on his chest, "Ou, I have long wanted to travel to China to see it, thank you for entertaining me!" ”

"No problem, I'll take you to have a good time!" Ou Chuliang looked at Ronaldo with a smile, as if he saw a moving vault.

......

"Good morning, fans and friends in front of the TV, welcome to stay up late to watch the quarterfinals of the 16th World Cup, China vs. Brazil."

"I believe that many fans have been looking forward to this 'China-Pakistan battle' for a long time, after all, this is the first time that the Chinese team has reached the round of 16 of the World Cup!"

"In this World Cup, the Chinese team has made a lot of history."

"And this time I was lucky enough to break into the top 16, which once again proves the strength of the Chinese team."

"In recent years, the rapid progress of Chinese football has not only driven the development of Asian football, but also become an example for third world countries to learn from."

"Our professionalization of football, the introduction of high-quality foreign aid and foreign coaches, the reform of the body, the elimination of the football environment, the pursuit of fast and concise tactical play, coupled with the popularity of football and the support of the people, has made Chinese football has embarked on a leading position in Asia."

"Especially in this World Cup, the other three Asian teams have been eliminated in the group stage, and only the Chinese team has advanced to the round of 16."

"This is a historic breakthrough for Chinese football and even Asian football!"

"I believe that after tonight, no matter whether it is successful or not, Chinese football will become more and more brilliant and stronger!"

"Now, let's enjoy the players writing a new chapter in Chinese football in the World Cup!"

After reciting an exciting pre-match declaration on the microphone, Huang Jianxiang grabbed the mineral water bottle in front of him and took a sip.

Moistening his throat, he continued into the microphone and said, "We can see that the entire Parc des Princes is covered in red. The largest stand was filled with Chinese fans, all of whom wore red and danced red flags to cheer for the Chinese team. ”

"According to official statistics, more than 30,000 Chinese fans still poured into the stadium today to cheer for the Chinese team."

"Look, there are banners written in Chinese everywhere. I think that in the future World Cup competitions, Chinese characters will appear more and more frequently on the World Cup stage. ”

Everyone listened carefully, and some fans were singing in unison the song "My Motherland and Me" by Mr. Li Guyi. Look, how shocking this scene is! ”

"Athletes from both sides have lined up to play."

"The starting goalkeeper of the Chinese team is still our No. 20 youngster Ou Chuliang."

"The three guards are No. 2 Sun Jihai, No. 3 Zhang Jihua, and No. 5 General Fan."

"The five midfielders are No. 14 Wei Skirt, No. 16 Wu Chengying, No. 6 Li Tie, No. 7 Ma Mingyu and No. 18 Qi Hong."

"The two forwards are No. 9 Zhang Yuyi and No. 15 Qu Shengqing."

"Compared with the starting lineup in the first two games of the group stage, Coach Ladd moved Sun Jihai back and replaced the right wingback with Wei skirt, who performed well in the last game."

The front line did not send another Zhang Su combination, but replaced Su Maozhen with Qu Shengqing, who is also from Liaozu, and partnered with Zhang Yuli in the front. Ladd seems to want to use the chemistry that the two have cultivated in the club to break through the Brazilian defence, hoping to do wonders. ”

"On the Brazilian side, the goalkeeper is No. 1 Taffarel, who was the main goalkeeper of the Brazilian team in the last World Cup."

"The four defenders are No. 2 Cafu, No. 3 Aldair, No. 4 Bayano and No. 6 Carlos."

"The four centre-backs are Sampaio No. 5, Dunga No. 8, Rivaldo No. 10 and Leonardo No. 18.

"The two strikers on the front line are Ronaldo, the number 9, and Bebeto, the number 20."

After Huang Jianxiang introduced the players on both sides, he stopped briefly again and drank water to adjust.

At this time, the players of both sides were already standing in a row in the middle of the court, facing the audience, and the camera swept over the faces of each player.

The faces of the Brazilians are full of relaxation and comfort, and the problems exposed by the Chinese team in this World Cup are too big. They showed all their strength in the group stage and only made it to the round of 16 by luck. In the eyes of some Brazilian players, it is equivalent to having a ticket to the quarterfinals.

Although most of the faces of the Chinese team members are unfamiliar, foreigners can see that these people are all resolute and tenacious. Although the offensive ability is insufficient, the Chinese team has finally come here with a tenacious defense. That look alone is enough to warn Brazil that if you really want to qualify, you will have to pay some price.

"As a four-star Brazilian team, there are so many opponents on the way to the World Cup that no one will remember whose corpse the Brazilian team stepped on to advance." The on-site commentator also opened his mouth and introduced the two teams in front of him.

"But the Chinese team in front of them, the Brazilian team must be impressed by them!"

"At the Olympics two years ago, Brazil, with Ronaldo, Rivaldo and Romario, played against China in Atlanta. And that time, the mighty Brazilian team lost the game because of carelessness. ”

"A year ago, Brazil won 1-0 in the Confederations Cup, but no one would say that they were 'disgraced'. Because in the final time of the game, in order to prevent the Chinese team's counterattack, the Brazilian team adopted a faceless and delaying tactical play, which kept the victory. ”

"Although both sides have 1 draw and 1 loss in both games, fans who have watched the game know that the Chinese team is no worse than the Brazilian team on the field!"

"Against a team as strong as Brazil, even Italy can't say they can hold it 100 per cent. However, the tenacious fighting spirit of the Chinese team is enough to resist the footsteps of the Brazilians. ”

"What's more, the Chinese team and China Europe!"

"Ronaldo also said before the game that one of his biggest wishes in this World Cup is to break through the door of China and Europe."

"Will he do it today?"

For the Chinese team, talking about the Brazilian team has lost its meaning.

Historical results don't say anything, all the players have to do is put all their attention on this game!

"Stick to your own style of play and let the whole world see our tenacity!" Qi Miaosheng shouted loudly from the sidelines.

There was no pressure on the players who had already qualified for the round of 16, even easier than the first game against Italy in the group stage.

Before the game, Ladd and Qi Weisheng did not give any instructions and orders to the players, and this was a game that could be completely let go. The Chinese team does not need to understand how brilliant the historical record of the Brazilian team is, they just need to stick to their own style of play.

Sure enough, after the opening, the Chinese team and the Brazilian team fought fiercely in the midfield.

In the three group games, the Chinese team tested the opponent for a period of time, and then slowly handed over control of the midfield to the opponent.

But after nearly 10 minutes of today's game, Brazil found that their opponents did not seem to have any intention of handing over the ball.

The Chinese players were rough under their feet, unstable in stopping the ball, and inaccurate in passing, but with their active runs and quick counter-attacks on the spot, the Brazilian midfield was in a mess.

And the Chinese team seems to have insight into Zagallo's 4312, whenever Rivaldo gets the ball, someone will be close to him at the first time, stop him from moving forward, and even look for a passing target.

In desperation, Rivaldo had no choice but to keep hitting the wall with his teammates and returning the ball to his teammates. Brazil were still able to mount more dangerous attacks, but none of them came from Rivaldo's feet.

This situation made the Brazilian team play very awkwardly, except for Ronaldo's breakthrough is still sharp, any other steps seem to be missing.

In the 9th minute, Brazil finally found a good attacking opportunity.

Leonardo subconsciously passed the ball to Rivaldo, but this time, the latter did not go to receive it.

When Li Tie and Qi Hong stuck Rivaldo's position, they found that Rivaldo's feet leaked, and the ball rolled away from his feet.

"Fill in the position!"

Ou Chuliang roared.

It was clearly not a tactic set up by the coach, but a personal performance by Rivaldo.

In the face of the central midfielder with creative ability and 360-degree vision, the Chinese team can only make up for it by "making up for the fault".

Fortunately, most of the players gathered in their own half to participate in the defense, and they didn't wait for Ou Chuliang to remind Wu Chengying to rush forward first, regardless of whether it was Ronaldo who carried the ball or not.

Seeing the alien touch the ball, a cry rang out at the scene.

Aliens dribble the ball in this position and are more than capable of breaking through, shooting and then scoring.

There were quite a few Brazilian fans who stood up and cheered for the goals that were about to come.

Ronaldo also lived up to his expectations, and after colliding with Wu Chengying, he actually knocked the desperate San Lang Wu Chengying to a stumbling block.

Taking advantage of this gap, Ronaldo burst into the penalty area from the left side of the Chinese team and went straight to the goal. In the face of General Fan's up-and-coming, Ronaldo stepped on the ball with his right foot, and then took advantage of the change in rhythm to push lightly to the right, not only erasing it but also dodging inward.

This change is sudden, and the aliens are still so sharp!

Zhang Jihua on the side hurriedly came over to make up for the defense, but he was still a step late.

Ronaldo swung his right foot and touched the ball on tiptoe when he landed, until the ball flew out and the fans realized that he had kicked a lob into the far corner.

The ball flying in the air is not in a hurry, but it is just stuck in the rhythm that the goalkeeper hates the most.

Ou Chuliang, who was guarding the near post, thought that Ronaldo would come to volley or push something, but he didn't expect him to shoot into the far corner.

Ou Chuliang didn't dare to bet on Ronaldo's footwork, looking at the ball like a meteor, Ou Chuliang continued to cross his left and right feet, and retreated towards the far corner.

Run, kick, jump, stretch, stretch...

In just two seconds, Ou Chuliang made several textbook saves. From one side of the goal to the other, Acchulian performed a back-to-back jump, like a high jumper.

At this moment, Ou Chuliang, with his extremely high flexibility and flexibility, stretched his body as much as possible in the air, showing a big "Tai" character. Many fans had a hint of illusion for a moment, as if they saw a Dapeng bird, soaring in the sky.

"Poof"!

Ou Chuliang's fingertips tapped the ball lightly.

The ball immediately deviated from its original trajectory and flew to the side.

Boom!

A crisp sound echoed in the hearts of all the players in the box.

The ball that bounced off the post fell to one side, then landed on the ground and bounced.

The players were stunned at first, and Sun Jihai, who was closest to the ball, stepped forward first, stretched out his foot to hook the ball back from the bottom line.

"Right front!"

Ou Chuliang's right shoulder was pressed against the doorpost, grinning in pain. He didn't have time to think about the consequences of his save just now, and after hitting the post with his shoulder, he just slid to the ground against the post.

But at this moment, Ou Chuliang is not shouting about a suspension of the game.

Through the crowd, Ou Chuliang clearly saw that Qu Shengqing not only came to the empty space on the side of Carlos and others, but also that none of the Brazilian defenders' actions were in their own half.

Hearing Ou Chuliang's shout, Sun Jihai did not hesitate, and directly flew up and kicked the ball forward.

Most people, including the referee, were concerned about the Chinese goalkeeper who fell in front of the post, and when Sun Jihai flew up and launched a long pass, they thought that the game was still going on.

Taking advantage of the moment when he was wrong with the Brazilian player, Qu Shengqing did not hesitate to step forward at high speed, and he had already run through the midfield in less than two seconds.

The Chinese team launched a quick counterattack, and the 33-year-old veteran Aldair did not dare to be careless and desperately chased back.

Rade sent Qu Shengqing to start the game also has his intentions, not only is he personally optimistic about Qu Fat, in the last Olympic Games, it was Qu Fat's sudden insertion that helped the Chinese team penetrate the door of the Brazilian team, and also scored the first goal of the Chinese team in the Olympic Games.

Therefore, compared with other strikers, Qu Pang will not have so much pressure when facing the Brazilian team, and will even have some psychological advantages.

When looking at the empty turf in front of him, Qu Pang seemed to have returned to the carefree teenager running on the grassland with joy two years ago.

But Qu Pang is no longer Qu Pang two years ago, and that injury and unadvantaged confrontation made him understand that opportunities are fleeting, and they are not something that a player of his level can waste at all.

What's more, Carlos is no longer the Carlos of two years ago, this bald tough guy is even tougher than two years ago, and even stronger than two years ago.

Seeing that he was catching up with the ball, Qu Fat glanced at Tafarel's position, and then looked at the distance between him and Carlos with his peripheral vision.

Qu Fat, who was full of thoughts, stretched out his right foot and used his toes to stop the ball.

Burst!

The ball smashed on Qu Shengqing's outstretched toes, and slammed forward.

Carlos, who was following closely behind, was taken aback when he saw this.

"My God, two years have passed, and his stop is still so sharp!"

Two years ago, Qu Shengqing used this way of stopping the ball three meters away to open up the running space; Two years later, when Carlos saw this trick again, he could only look at the ball and sigh.

The advantage of stopping the ball too far is that the player with the ball does not need to slow down too much, and can sprint desperately to chase the ball.

Tafarel's position was destined to make him unable to attack and intercept first, so he could only wait for his teammates to catch up with Qu Pang and complete the steal.

In this way, Qu Shengqing only "tripped" the ball and brought the ball into the penalty area.

Robert Carlos, who was at his peak, also arrived as promised at this time, and finally rushed to his side the moment Qu Shengqing caught up with the ball.

This time, Qu Pang fully learned from the experience of fighting with Carlos back then.

He knew that this little man, who was more than 10 centimeters shorter than him, contained endless power in his body. Fighting with him is like a mayfly shaking a tree.

So the moment he caught up with the ball, Qu Shengqing raised his right leg and made a posture of attacking the goal directly.

In the face of the opposing striker's swinging leg, blocking the eye is the knee-jerk of any top defender.

When Carlos desperately stretched out his feet and rushed in front of Qu Fat, he saw a sly and smug smile.

"My day, this guy has really grown!"

After his right foot buckled past Carlos, Qu Shengqing did not hesitate and quickly pushed his left foot between half beats.

Such a quick attack not only played a rhythm difference, but also made Aldair, who rushed over to make up for the defense, save in the air.

The strength of the left calf alone is enough to keep the ball close to the turf and go straight to the far corner of the goal.

Tafarel didn't expect Qu Shengqing to hit the door in such a fast-paced way, nor did he expect that his two defenders didn't stop him.

Between the lightning and flint, Tafarel tightened his mouth, lowered his center of gravity as fast as he could, and flew out to the right with the power of the desolation.

Burst!

There was another sound of latex and leather clashing.

The ball that was blocked by Tafarel's finger spun backwards, arced in place, and rolled off the line.

"Beep !!"

The referee blew a whistle and signaled that it was a corner kick from the Chinese team.

"Whew~~~ It's good that it's just a corner."

Hidetoshi Nakata, who had returned home early, sat in front of the TV and let out a long breath when he saw the ball.

Japan lost all three World Cup group games, and even worse than Saudi Arabia and South Korea, who drew one and lost two, so the confident Japanese players and fans were hit hard.

Three defeats, it's the first rhythm!

Now seeing that the Chinese team, which represents the only Asian team to advance to the round of 16, almost scored a goal against Brazil shortly after the opening, Nakata Hidetoshi has mixed feelings in his heart.

Not only did I want to cheer for the Chinese team in Asia, but I also felt that as a Japanese international, I could only sit in front of the TV and watch the gap between the Chinese team and the Japanese team getting bigger and bigger. This kind of complicated feelings made Nakata Hidetoshi entangled.

"Yumi, who do you want to win this match?" Taking advantage of the gap in the corner kick, Hidetoshi Nakata turned his head and asked his sister beside him.

Brazil and Japan have always had a close relationship with both Zheng Zhi and football, and there are even rumors that if Japan sinks one day due to high sea levels, the target of all Japanese immigrants will be Brazil. So don't look at the geographical proximity of Japan and China, and the Japanese worship China's heroes from the bottom of their hearts. But in the hearts of many Japanese, they still support the Brazilian team.

"Of course I want Ousan to win!" Yumi Nakata blinked and replied without thinking.

Two years have passed, and the former little Lori has grown a lot taller, and there are two long ponytails on her head. What remains unchanged is still the big eyes that shine as soon as they see Ou Chuliang.

Even when her brother asked questions, she didn't take her eyes off the TV.

"Ernie sauce, do you think Ou Sang is in danger?" At this time, Yumi's brows furrowed slightly, and her two small hands involuntarily held on her chest.

"What? Why do you ask? Nakata Hidetoshi said curiously.

"Look, that goalkeeper is gone!" Yumi Nakata pointed to the Brazilian goalkeeper holding his hands on the screen, and said worriedly: "Ousan is more serious than him just now, I'm so worried about Ossan, why don't you give the camera to Ossan?" ”
