Chapter 169: Golf Merchant Goalkeeper
In the players' tunnel, Ou Chuliang followed behind Xu Hong, chewing gum in his mouth.
Before the Chinese team reached the Asian Cup finals, many chewing gum manufacturers approached Ou Chuliang and wanted his endorsement.
But they were all politely rejected by Ou Chuliang one by one, because he didn't want the copper smell of money to affect his desire for the championship.
Of course, these merchants also expressed their understanding and decided to bother after the Asian Cup. Regardless of whether the Chinese team wins or loses, the thought of their chewing gum entering the football world makes these merchants so excited that they can't sleep at night!
Ou Chuliang also had dark circles on his face.
In my memory, except for the Hiroshima Asian Games that year, he was the first time he appeared in the final of an international A-level event, both in his past life and in his present life.
Even after accumulating more than 30 years of goal-line experience, at this moment, he still followed behind Xu Hong like a rookie.
Seeing that the light at the entrance of the player's tunnel was getting brighter and brighter, Ou Chuliang's excited heart began to beat wildly.
As soon as the players appeared at the entrance of the passage, the shocking cries that erupted on the court even frightened Ou Chuliang's shoulders.
"Xiaoou, don't be nervous." General Fan pulled his jersey behind Ou Chuliang, "It's also my first time playing in the final. ”
Looking back at General Fan and winking at himself, Ou Chuliang also laughed.
Soon, the familiar smell of the green field made Ou Chuliang quickly calm down. He knew that the show had just begun.
On the green field, the players stood in a row on the court, holding hands behind their backs, and sang the national anthem loudly.
At the very front of the stands, there stood a row of shirtless middle-aged people. They held high the banner of "Those who come are not defeated, and those who are defeated do not come", and sent their heartfelt blessings to the Chinese team.
After the national anthem was anthemed, the athletes of both sides exchanged team flags. Xu Hong and the Iranian captain came to the referee and guessed the coin to decide the tee off.
At this time, the second Chinese song since the athlete entered the stadium sounded in the stands.
"The five-star red flag flutters in the wind,
How loud the victory song is.
Sing of our dear motherland,
From now on, we will become prosperous and strong.
Sing of our dear motherland,
From now on, we will be prosperous and strong!
Over the mountains, over the plains..."
"Listen, it's "Singing the Motherland"!" Peng Weiguo said excitedly.
Ou Chuliang clenched his right fist, slammed his left chest hard, and stood on the goal line.
"Beep!"
With the referee's whistle, the entire stadium was completely ignited.
"Today's Chinese team's forward line started with Gao Feng and Xie Hui, and Su Maozhen, the hero of the last game, was left on the bench."
"The three forwards are Ma Mingyu, Yang Chen and Peng Weiguo, and the two veterans are on the side."
"On the back line, Wu Chengying, who was banned from the last game, appeared again at left-back, and then captain Xu Hong, General Fan, Zhang Jihua and Sun Jihai, the youngest player in the Chinese team."
"Standing on the last line of defense is still Ou Chuliang, a young player from Jianlibao."
"If you watch the first few games of the Chinese team, you will know that although Ou Chuliang, a young player, looks a little thin, he has first-class goal-line skills. And there is a super high response ability and a mature and stable character. Although he is not very old, he has indeed contributed to the Chinese team's ability to get to where it is today. ”
"And Ou Chuliang also participated in the Atlanta Olympics in the United States with the National Olympic Games this summer, although he finally won two wins and one defeat regrettably, but Ou Chuliang's experience in the competition has not lost to any teammates..."
Just when Huang Jianxiang was about to continue to introduce Ou Chuliang, the Iranian team had already attacked in front of the Chinese team's penalty area.
Instigated by No.6 Bagherry, Iran's first attacking option was tested from the right flank.
In the face of the heavy pressure on the Iranian player Sun Jihai retreated again and again, but the Iranian team has hoarded heavy troops on this side.
In the face of the opponent's three-person small-range passing cooperation, Sun Jihai, Yang Chen and Peng Weiguo launched a game of "3 to 3" with the opponent on the side.
However, the blue jersey that appeared again did not provide the Chinese team with a steal bonus, and the Iranian player in white and green collar grabbed a gap after continuous mobile passes, and stuffed the ball directly from the side towards the Chinese team's penalty area.
This through ball is extremely tricky, after drilling from Peng Weiguo's feet, Sun Jihai, who was dragged at the end, couldn't touch it even if he fell to the ground.
At this time, No. 11 Aziz, who was inserted on the side, suddenly accelerated and chased the ball away.
Seeing that Aziz was about to touch the ball, at the last second, Aziz suddenly slowed down because a purple figure entered the camera at some point.
Before the fans could react, Ou Chuliang, who fell to the ground sideways, instantly grabbed the ball with both hands, and then crossed his body to block in front of Aziz.
Aziz had no choice but to stop in place and let Occhulian's curled legs pass in front of him, giving up the right to drop the ball.
But in the next second, Ou Chuliang made another move that made most fans jaw-dropping. After dodging Aziz, Oclie pushed forward with both hands in an instant, pushing the ball that he had just held in his arms straight out of the sideline.
"This..."
"What is this doing?" Some fans in the stands who had just entered the industry had a question mark on their faces, obviously they had already held the ball, why did they still throw the ball out?
After following the other fans for a second, my grandson Chen Tang slapped his thigh, stood up and shouted: "Beautiful! Ozan pounces beautifully! ”
Huang Jianxiang, who reacted, also hurriedly explained in the microphone: "The young player Ou Chuliang handled this ball too beautifully!" ”
"I just said that he reacts quickly and has solid goalkeeping skills, and some fans may not believe it. But with this ball alone, you can see that I'm not bragging at all. ”
Liu Jianhong also nodded, "Let's watch the replay again." ”
'Diochulian first abandoned the ball the moment the opposition centre-back Huckpoole passed the ball and then scrambled to intercept the ball before Aziz.
"But the real essence of the ball is here."
"Look, Ou Chuliang is too fast and has too much inertia, and his body is still sliding forward after pounceing on the ball."
'But the point where he saved the ball was on the edge of the box, and if he didn't throw the ball out, it would be a handball outside the box.'
"Although the place is close to the baseline, it is much better than the corner position."
"Ou Chuliang reacted to this, so he pushed the ball forward before he slid out of the penalty area."
"Being able to react so quickly and think so carefully in such a short period of time, Ou Chuliang's save can already be called world-class."
Sure enough, after understanding Ou Chuliang's operation, the fans were in good spirits. There are even many fans who know the ball and stand up directly and shout Ou Chuliang's name at the top of their voices.
Who would have thought that in the opening moment of the Oriental Dragon's confrontation against the Persian Iron Cavalry, the first person to make a shining appearance was the goalkeeper of the Chinese team!
In the call of "come on the Chinese team" that gradually rose up at the scene, Sun Jihai quickly cut off the opponent's throw-in, and then passed the ball to Yang Chen in the front court and launched a counterattack.
The goalkeeper's wonderful save and the cheering of the fans brought great spiritual encouragement to the Chinese team members, and the ball came to the feet of Gao Feng after a long pass with a big foot.
In the face of the Iranian team's defense, Gao Feng did not choose to pass, but slowly slowed down and approached the Iranian team's penalty area little by little.
Xie Hui had already run in the Iranian penalty area at this time, and he received instructions from Gu Mingchang before the game, telling him that the purpose of starting was to tear the opponent's defense as physically as possible, and then fight for an advantage on the high ball.
Although Xie Hui was a little dissatisfied with not being assigned to score goals as a striker, what is it to be able to start?
As Gao Feng approached the Iranian team's penalty area with the ball little by little, Xie Huisa's joy was even greater.
When the Iranian team's defenders were tired of being tossed by Xie Hui, Gao Score suddenly dodged the gap and flew up and pumped the ball towards the door of the Iranian team.
Such a strong low-altitude slash did not give the slightest warning, except for the Iranian goalkeeper Abid Zakh subconsciously moved his center of gravity to the left, even the Iranian defenders who were blocking the high wind did not react.
Boom!
The ball suddenly hit Xie Hui's heel in flight, and suddenly changed direction and flew into the net from the right side of Abadzah.
"Huh??? This goal scored? ”
Gao Feng's shot changed direction on Xie Hui's foot, and the ball drilled into the Iranian door from the other side. This..."
"This ball doesn't count." Before Huang Jianxiang finished his excitement, Liu Jianhong poured a basin of cold water.
Sure enough, the camera suddenly fell on the linesman. He held the flag horizontally, signaling that Xie Hui was offside.
"Alas! The Chinese team almost got off to a dream start! Huang Jianxiang was slightly disappointed and said, "If Xie Hui's position is a little further inside, he will not be exposed to the offside position." ”
"It's a pity that the goal is invalid, and the score on the field is still 0-0."
