Chapter 276: The Game That Lost Suspense
The Japanese team was kicked blind!
Even a drizzle can't wake up their minds.
"Left!"
As soon as Ou Chuliang finished speaking, the ball came to the left.
"Right!"
The Japanese player passed the ball to the right again.
Hidetoshi Nakata felt like a marionette on stage, and he couldn't understand why the opposing defenders happened to be in that position as soon as he passed the ball.
This is not the case once or twice, and even Takeshi Takeda, who is on the sidelines, is studying with other coaches whether it is time to change the midfield playmaker.
"What a miscalculation! I didn't expect the gap with the Chinese team to be so big! Looking at the score on the scoreboard, Takeda shook his head helplessly.
"Takeda-kun, it looks like we're going to be ready for the play-off against Australia." The teaching assistant on the side reminded.
"That's all it can be." Looking at the red color all over the sky, Takeda let out a long sigh.
The score on the field has become 3-0, and at the beginning of the second half, Ma Mingyu penetrated the door of the Japanese team with a free kick.
The fans in the stands were already in a mess, and they were making waves with strangers. With such a big lead, there's no reason not to overdraw some joy early.
"It's time to get up..."
Under the "command" of Ou Chuliang, Hidetoshi Nakata in front of the arc really swung his right leg and slammed the ball with the instep of his foot.
After Ou Chuliang's reminder, Zhang Jihua and General Fan blocked with their bodies and outstretched legs at the moment when Nakata Yingshou got up. The ball hit Zhang Jihua's pelvis and changed direction, but it unloaded 90% of the force.
Ou Chuliang's center of gravity flickered, went straight to the ball, squatted down and confiscated the ball in his arms.
"Good shot!" Huang Jianxiang said proudly, "This ball was blocked by Zhang Jihua, but Ou Chuliang received it very steadily..."
"He's really steady, and he's hardly been out of the game since the top 10." Parker nodded.
"What do you mean..."
"Listen, Tickell!" Parker's expression suddenly became serious, "I guess you know that the current situation of the club is very bad, not bad. ”
"So..."
"Nothing!" Parker affirmed, "You know, you may have helped the club sign the No. 1 goalkeeper in Asia!" This may be our chance. ”
"Opportunity? Oh no, no, no no Parker, listen to me, you might have misunderstood something. After understanding what Parker meant, Tickle quickly shook his head and said, "You listen to me, you listen to me, he, he..."
Ticker gestured to Achuria on the pitch.
Parker watched Tickell's scrambled appearance and waited patiently for him to organize the language.
"I... I mean, he, he's still too young, isn't he? “
"Don't forget, Ferdinando is also very young, even a year younger than Ou on the field!"
"But... But he, but he doesn't have much experience in European competitions! ”
"Accumulate without experience!" Parker shook his head and pointed his finger under Tickle's collarbone, "You know what? Ferdinando's performance was simply too inferior! No one expected that he would collapse so quickly that the club didn't react, and it was already like this. And the club has internal and external troubles, and needs to transfer conflicts, you know that. ”
As he spoke, Parker crossed his right hand and made a neck wiping motion in front of his neck, which made Ticker swallow.
"No... No way? Ferdinando is one of our own, he's from the academy..."
"Academy? Not to mention the academy! Parker snorted, "If you can't even keep your position under the ass, do you think those high-ranking old men will be in charge of the youth team?" Don't forget, those young soldiers were born to serve the club's first team! ”
"Okay, I got it." Ticker hung his head.
In fact, he had a good relationship with Ferdinando, and was even a distant cousin.
As a rookie goalkeeper in the youth team, you always need a competitor when you move up to the first team so that you can highlight your excellence. And this competitor is better not to be too strong, if it is too strong, then it is likely to be self-defeating.
So when he learned that Ferdinando was going to be promoted to the first team and the first team needed to buy a backup goalkeeper, Tickel thought about helping the club sign a well-known parallel goods in Africa or Asia to supplement the team.
In this way, not only can you use that person's popularity in his own country to earn a wave of advertising money, but also let his little nephew successfully rise to the position in the team competition, which is simply a double win.
This is one of the reasons why Tikel has never given up after discovering Ochulian.
After all kinds of twists and turns, he even used the favors that he did when he was young, and finally brought Ou Chulian to Naples.
Originally, everything went according to his expectations: Ou Chuliang returned to China to participate in the top 10 match, and Ferdinando took the opportunity to substitute Giuseppe, attracting the attention of fans little by little and gaining their support. Then, after two or three years, he slowly replaced Giuseppe. Ou Chuliang will either become his replacement or move away.
But then the unexpected happened, Giuseppe suffered a shoulder injury against Vicenza, and the team doctor said he would have to recuperate for at least a year.
For Ferdinando, the opportunity came too quickly and too suddenly!
Such a big pie fell from the sky, and he wasn't ready for it.
Rafael is still available, but the veteran goalkeeper is planning to retire after a season. There is Ferdinando, who is produced by the team's academy, and the club naturally wants to push him.
As a result, the result was a miserable six-game losing streak.
When Napoli fell directly to the bottom of the Serie A table, the club's slump caused a surge of conflicts within the team. At the same time, internal and external troubles, fans also began to be dissatisfied. At this juncture, there is an urgent need to introduce a person to take responsibility.
Coach Bortoni has stepped down, but that hasn't quelled the anger of the fans. Whether it was a 6-2 defeat to Roma or a 5-1 defeat to Bologna, fans simply could not tolerate such a score in Italy, which is known for its defense.
However, the club's top management has always adhered to the character of "dead friends do not die poor", and before the winter transfer, they will definitely find more scapegoats to protect their positions under the ass.
The goalkeeper is the best candidate.
They would say, "Oh, look, we only have one young goalkeeper, so we can't take care of the back." I have to admit that this young goalkeeper is still too young, and we will consider sending him back to the youth team to learn again..."
"Isn't there any turnaround?" Tickel asked reluctantly.
"No, not at all." Parker shook his head, "Then he pointed to the court, do you think there is a turnaround in this game?" ”
Looking at the bright red 4-0 on the screen, and the Chinese players who ran to the fan stands to celebrate enthusiastically, Tikel was a little speechless.
The Chinese team, which was playing more and more easily, blossomed more, and in the 78th minute, General Fan scored a header again.
Looking at the bright score, Lao Rong and Quan Kan were almost fainting with happiness.
What is a "header team that can only head the ball"? What's so bad about being able to play this result and only head the ball?
"How so!" Tickel Lost Road.
"There's nothing to doubt, it's a rout, it's a brutal extermination!" Parker said in a low voice, "It's not a bad season, it's the club's lack of championships for years and the contradiction of buying and selling players, which finally broke out this season, do you know this time?" ”
"The club needs a scapegoat, Ferdinando just happens to be in that position! Unless, unless, your little nephew, who doesn't know how much blood is separated, will work miracles. You don't need him to win, as long as he doesn't concede a goal! The question is, can he do it? ”
"If we continue to play like this, we may be relegated before the halfway point of the season! Demote! Do you understand? ”
With Parker's low roar, Trickel looked decadent.
"Isn't there a way to save it? Won't God favor us Southern teams? ”
Although he is a calculating little man, he is also a Neapolitan after all, and a Napoli fan.
In Italy's "north-south dispute", except for Maradona's brief "light" for the southern team, the southern team was almost completely wiped out.
Of the 18 Serie A teams, an average of only 3-4 teams are southern teams each year, and they have been struggling to be on the brink of relegation.
As a representative of the southern team, if Napoli can't stand up, who else can stand up?
"It's not that God hasn't given us a chance, it's just that we haven't grasped it." Parker smiled wryly, "You know, we just got one step away from taking our chance. ”
"Fack, Fack! Why is this happening! Remembering last season's Coppa Italia defeat, Tikel hated Vicenza to the fullest.
Even if an ordinary trophy can't make all the contradictions in the Napoli team disappear, at least it can extend the "life" of Napoli for a few more years.
During this period, whether the academy players played to make a name for themselves or bought a few quality players through transfers, they could save the team.
Instead of being like now, the opportunity to get it has become a return to the club, and the final has even become the fuse that exacerbates the club's collapse.
Just like the Japanese team on the pitch.
Every seemingly "sharp" attack will eventually become an opportunity for the Chinese team to counterattack.
If it weren't for the rainy day, if Gao Feng, Xie Hui and others had a stronger ability to grasp the opportunity, the score difference on the field at this time would not be 4 goals at all.
Takeda has already begun to play the substitution card, replacing Hidetoshi Nakata, who has not performed well. This looks like a change in midfield and an increase in attacking ability, but in fact it is protecting Hidetoshi Nakata.
After all, against Australia, there are two legs to play.
When he left the field, Nakata Hidetoshi looked fiercely in the direction where Ou Chuliang was standing.
Except for the friendly greeting between the two at the beginning of the warm-up, Ou Chuliang did not look at him from beginning to end of the game.
Of course, if Nakata can dribble into the box, he will be able to fulfill his "wish".
But the truth is that Nakata didn't contribute at all except for a few painless long-range shots from outside the box and a few indifferent long passes.
The "Central European Shoot" battle he imagined didn't happen, and he couldn't even find the feeling he had when he easily threatened Acchulian with a long-range shot in Brazil.
He is still the same him, but Ou Chuliang is no longer the same Ou Chuliang.
In front of Ou Chuliang, there are countless teammates who command like arms. There are many times when you can successfully intercept the ball of the Japanese team without Ou Chuliang's shot.
Such a gap in his heart is huge, he never thought that he had worked hard for so long, and it would be almost the same as standing still.
Or is the other party's progress too rapid?
"Yumi, I... Ernie chan is sorry for you! Nakata Hidetoshi once again pulled out the amulet he had asked for in the temple from his jersey, and by this time it had been soaked with sweat and rain. Now, under the cover of the long-sleeved jersey, it is stained with the tears of Hidetoshi Nakata.
"Beautiful! Ou Chuliang's ball is really beautiful! ”
In the screen, Ou Chuliang swooped sideways, once again bagging the Japanese team's pass-and-shoot close to the ground.
In terms of ball speed, any goalkeeper can easily confiscate the ball from this kind of ball that rolls close to the ground. But in this game, Ou Chuliang appeared in the camera very few times, and many times he didn't need this kind of "line". finally had a welt ball, how could Huang Jianxiang not "hold" it?
Contrary to the Chinese fans who are happy to be together, the Japanese fans obviously saw that the ball was "slow" to death, but they were still fantasizing that Ou Chuliang could make a mistake and "accidentally" roll the ball into the net. But when their "dreams were shattered", they involuntarily let out a long sigh.
At this point, the Japanese fans no longer want to win the game, all they want is to score a goal!
Scoring a goal, at least it can show that the gap with the Chinese team is not so big; Score a goal and have a little confidence in the next play-off against Australia.
And now, all hope has vanished with Ou Chuliang's understatement of falling to the ground and hugging the ball.
In front of the TV, Yumi Nakata doesn't care so much.
After Hidetoshi Nakata was gone, her eyes all fell on Ou Chuliang. As long as Ou Chuliang didn't lose the ball, she would hold the talisman begged for in the temple and jump up happily.
The minutes ticked by, although there were still more than ten minutes left in the game. But everyone knows that these ten minutes have become garbage time.
The Chinese players did not want to attack anymore and were afraid of getting hurt; This is especially true of the Japanese players.
In this way, the two teams made the Asian World Preliminary Play-offs lose suspense early. What everyone was waiting for was nothing more than the moment of the final whistle.
Parker began to pack his bags, and he had seen enough of this Big 10 match.
In the six games that Ou Chuliang participated in, both his psychological quality and on-the-spot reaction performance were first-class. If the performance of the top 10 matches is brought to the Serie A field, it is more than enough.
"Good luck to this young man!" Parker stood up, drew a cross on his chest, and began to leave. Ferdinando has fallen victim to the club, and Diolus Auchulian now has the same qualifications.
