June 17, Geofroy Kichal Stadium.

The second round of Group B of the French World Cup, China VS Austria.

After the opening, the Chinese team's style of play remained unchanged, still breaking through the side and making a cross from the bottom. Although he created a corner with his pace and forced kick, he didn't get a header on goal.

Austria is in Andres. Under the leadership of Herzog, the Chinese team's position was infiltrated layer by layer.

As the player with the most appearances for Austria, Herzog played for Werder Bremen, not only Austria's number one star, but also a name for himself in world football.

1992 European Cup Winners' Cup, 1993 Bundesliga winners, 1993 and 1994 German Super Cup, 1996 Europa League for Bayern... To this day, in the hearts of countless old German fans, Herzog is still that talented talent.

In the Bundesliga, an Austrian star can leave such a brilliant mark is enough to prove his outstanding quality.

Treating such a player who can pass and shoot, Ladd put the defensive focus of the Chinese team on him.

After winning the ball, Austria played very aggressively.

European teams have the upper hand in terms of physical strength, and Austria are not the hard-to-head power style of play.

The player's foot skills are quite good, and after only one round of attack, he passed the ball into the Chinese team's penalty area.

After striker Polster got the ball, he pushed a shot from a small angle against General Fan.

Standing at the near post, Ou Chuliang fell sideways to the ground and saved the ball firmly.

By the time Occhulian stood up and handed the ball to his teammates, the Austrian players were back in place.

Unlike the first game, Austria did not take the Chinese team to draw with Italy in the slightest.

In the entire first half, the Chinese team failed to form a single attack within the goal frame, and only accounted for 40% of the possession. More often than not, it is the destruction of the ball before the player goes down to the bottom cross.

The Chinese team was very passive after missing a player like Sun Jihai on the right side, and even in the last minutes of the first half of the game, the players simply changed the bottom cross to a 45-corner cross, because if there was one more step, the ball would be intercepted by the opponent.

But defensively, the Chinese team has been very steady.

I don't know if it's because of Ladd's tactical requirements or Ou Chuliang's adjustment, even if it is a formation of 3 defenders, but under the command of Ou Chuliang's arm, the defenders can always appear in key positions to intercept the opponent's breakthrough and pass.

In addition, the formation of 352 can be changed to 532 at any time, and there are many people in the Chinese team's penalty area, and Austria has nothing to do except pass the high ball at the end.

As a result, Austria dominated the first half, with 60 per cent possession, but did not actually have a single threatening shot on goal. Once the ball comes to the front of the Chinese team's penalty area, the attacker's pass will frequently make mistakes. Even if he forcibly kicks up and passes the ball into the penalty area, Ou Chuliang will easily get the ball under the protection of his teammates.

After switching sides in the second half, Austria hoped to take advantage of the opportunity of the players to take the Chinese team off guard.

A long ball from the back field landed accurately in the vacuum area on the right side of the Chinese team's penalty area. Ou Chuliang didn't dare to attack rashly, and it took time for his teammates to return to defense.

Herzog immediately entered the penalty area after catching up with the ball, and Qi Hong, who was in place, followed him inch by inch. Since Ou Chuliang did not ask for a steal with his feet, Qi Hong kept stuck in Herzog's position and did not allow him to have a chance to cut inside.

After a few steps, Herzog was helpless and deserved a left-footed buckle to seek a return pass.

But at this time, several Chinese players had already returned to the defense in place, desperately chasing after Li? Rushing in front of the Austrian striker, Herzog's cross was blocked by a team-mate.

Before the ball rolled to the feet of General Fan, the sound of Ou Chuliang's yelling came from the goal.

"Zhang Yuxuan!"

Out of absolute trust, General Fan immediately looked up and found Zhang Yuxi, who had turned around and faced the front, and directly kicked the ball without stopping.

The Chinese team's anti-counterattack won the essence of the horse pistol, and Zhang Yuxi's sharp gun head was inserted into the Austrian defense line for the first time, stirring up the entire defense line.

Zhang Yuluo, who is tall, ran to the point where the ball landed and jumped up violently, like an eagle with wings outstretched, ferrying the ball in front of him with his head. Su Maozhen also caught up at this time, taking advantage of Zhang Yuxuan's attraction of three defenders to take the ball into the penalty area.

Seeing that it was about to form a single knife, fortunately, the Austrian goalkeeper was alert and abandoned the door at the first time. Before Su Maozhen touched the ball again, he confiscated the ball.

It was the first time to see such a simple and crude Chinese-style counterattack on the court, and all the Austrians were shocked into a cold sweat.

The Chinese team's counterattack was too fast and too resolute!

Both high school forwards have a header advantage and are linked to each other. There is no primary or secondary division, whichever has the ball, do what should be done at that point in time.

Even if the Austrian goalkeeper doesn't attack, if nothing happens, Su Maozhen will follow up with a shot after catching up with the ball.

This is the counterattack style of the Chinese team!

Shoot with three touches of the ball!

Such a "simple" way of counterattacking is extremely practical, and it can be called "back to basics".

After seeing this counterattack, Austria did not dare to invest so many troops in the front, for fear that one would be accidentally scored by the Chinese team.

Having been in contact with the Chinese team for most of the half, it is much easier to prevent this team from scoring than to break through the door of this team!

As long as the backfield is denser and the offense slows down, the Chinese team's counterattack will not be able to succeed.

But in this way, the two sides turned into a tug-of-war, and the scene was dull for a while.

In the 73rd minute, Yu Hewei of Xinhuan Shopping Mall took the ball in the midfield, and after making a one-two with Li Tie, he suddenly sprinted with the ball and forced his way through. Because the Austrian defenders were attracted to Su Maozhen and Zhang Yuxuan, they were caught off guard by Yu Hewei.

Coupled with the fact that the two strikers ran on either side of the flank, the defenders who were originally gathered in the middle even considered whether to leave the defensive zone.

After such a delay, Yu followed the ball into the Austrian penalty area.

In the midst of the cries on the scene, he was so excited that he didn't pass the ball to Su Maozhen, who was in a better position, but forced his feet to shoot low.

The ball hit the heel of the Austrian defender and bounced off the line.

After this raid, the hidden killer moves of the Chinese team were discovered by the Austrians.

The two strikers are responsible for pulling, and the number 9 and a half, who have offensive ability, sneak attack with individual ability.

Facing the Chinese team that wanted to win, the Austrian coach also played the substitution card again and again, and it turned out to be to strengthen the defense.

After the Chinese team "repeated the old tricks" a few times, the effect was not very good.

The ability to break through at the end of the tail is there, and the ability to shoot is also alive. However, when he was up to speed, it was difficult for him to form a connection with his teammates, and in the end he either got up in a hurry or was forced into a corner by the opponent, and in the end it was difficult to even protect the ball. Although Ladd gave him the ability to fire, even he lost his confidence after a couple of outrageous long-range shots from the edge of the box.

Until this time, not only Ladd, but even Qi Wusheng began to miss Zhang Xiaorui.

If Zhang Xiaorui is still there, the Chinese team's offense can definitely go to the next level!

The time had come to 82 minutes, and Ladd had no choice but to play the substitution card to replace Zhang Yuyi and the physically exhausted Zhang Jihua, and replaced two defenders, directly pushing Yu Hewei to the front line.

The game has come to this point, Austria's substitutions are also defensive, and both teams seem to have accepted a draw.

Two minutes before the end of the game, Austria broke through the final field with the ball as usual.

Although the official formation of the Chinese team has always been 352, the number of midfielders does not give an advantage to the middle. On the contrary, in two consecutive games, the Chinese team retreated to the backfield.

The clock was in stoppage time and there were some players on both sides who felt that the game was about to end.

Taking advantage of this gap, Austrian striker Polster once again won the ball on the right.

The Austrian striker, who has left brilliant footprints in the Bundesliga and La Liga, faked and broke the true pass, using the shaking of the upper body and the short movement of the football to deceive the defense of the Chinese team.

Although his position and defense area were deceived by Polster, General Fan and Wu Chengying did not take it seriously.

After all, Herzog, who received the ball, was too far away from the goal!

By the time he rushed in front of him with the ball, he had plenty of time to get back into the defensive zone.

But when Herzog stopped the ball, his eyes flickered, still looking for an opportunity.

The closer the game gets, the more lethal holes open up for the defenders.

At this point, Herzog, who has rich experience in European competition, is much better than the Chinese players who have played in League A for several years!

Herzog dribbled the ball to 30 points from goal, with two teammates providing him with passing routes on either side. But Herzog didn't choose to pass the ball and continued to rush forward.

When he came to a position 25 meters away from the goal, Ou Chuliang looked at him and sensed that something was wrong.

"Kill him!" Ou Chuliang roared.

Hearing Ou Chuliang's order, Li? Subconsciously moved closer to Herzog, and even directly put the shovel, desperate.

But it was still too late.

Herzog had pulled the trigger and the ball flew towards goal.

Sou!

At that moment, the ball left a shadow in the eyes of all the fans, and those with poor eyesight even thought it was at Herzog's feet.

Ou Chuliang almost subconsciously leaned back and pounced towards the upper left corner of the goal.

No run-ups, no jumps.

Just jump with the strength of one leg and stretch your arms as far as you can in the air.

Boom!

The sharp pain from the index finger and middle finger made Ou Chuliang swallow his heart back into his stomach again, and he felt that even if two fingers were broken, it would be worth it!

There was another crisp sound, and the ball that was interfered with by Ou Chuliang grazed the crossbar and flew out of the bottom line.

Herzog's magical left foot plucked the strings at that moment, and Acchulian's nimble fingers pressed the "refuse" key.

"Oh!"

After this kick, Huang Jianxiang didn't even react. By the time he came to his senses, the scene was already full of fans' voices.

Whether it is the surprise of the Chinese fans or the lamentation of the Austrian fans.

Thousands of voices were mixed together, but it made Huang Jianxiang sweat coldly.

Oh my god!

I was scared as a commentator, who would have thought that before the end of the game, the Austrian players would be able to play such a wonderful world wave?

"Ou Chuliang !!"

"It's the young player Ou Chuliang again!!"

Huang Jianxiang's signature shout sounded in the microphone in the next second, which was enough to make those fans holding semiconductors decide to buy a black-and-white TV.

After Ou Chuliang's body fell to the ground, he rolled around on the ground before he could get up.

But this time, Ou Chuliang was a little moved.

"What for?"

"What are you doing?"

"How?"

"What are you going to eat?"

"It's the last minute, can you start your spirit?"

"Look at people, don't you understand people?"

In the face of Ou Chuliang's yelling, including General Fan, they all lowered their heads, and no one dared to complain.

The players honestly walked into the penalty area, found a good position in front of Ou Chuliang, and squeezed the Austrian players who also came over out.

Ou Chuliang still looked angry, this time, even Yu Hewei and Su Maozhen both returned to the penalty area to participate in the corner kick defense.

The Chinese team is no longer attacking!

The referee will not give the Chinese team a chance to attack.

Because of this, the ten players on the field were fortunate to hear Ou Chuliang's angry scolding.

"Li?, don't TM eat? Can it still be crowded? ”

"Xiao Hei, what about you, don't TM like a noodle, that doorpost is what you rely on?"

"Follow-up, be smart! Don't let people run over! ”

"Captain, go a little further, no, you have to go forward!"

"Shensi, look at the back tightly, don't slip away just because you can't see the front!"

Almost everyone was complained by Ou Chuliang, and the big guys looked at each other without squeaking.

In the face of Austria's final corner kick, Ou Chuliang, who was standing near the front post, saw the opportunity, jumped up, and almost "flew" out.

With a "mine", General Fan and Qi Hong, two veterans, consciously got out of the way, stuck the Austrian team members behind them, and made way for Ou Chuliang.

Burst!

A pair of black and white gloves caught the ball firmly in the air, and until Ou Chuliang landed, it obediently stopped in Ou Chuliang's hand.

The referee glanced at Ou Chuliang, and Ou Chuliang also looked back.

The two seemed to have reached some kind of tacit understanding, and in the next second, Ou Chuliang stood still, threw the ball and swept with his legs.

The moment the ball flew into the air, the referee from Egypt blew the whistle for the end of the match.

"Beep! Beep beep !! ”

"It's over." Huang Jianxiang wiped the sweat from his forehead and said loudly, "0-0, the Chinese team once again tied with the opponent. ”

'It didn't score, but it was a good matchup.

"The Chinese team played at a high level and played with characteristics."

"In the last minute of the game, Austria's long-range shot was saved..."

Huang Jianxiang blew NB for the Chinese team in the microphone, and the outfield players led by General Fan gathered around Ou Chuliang one by one, and said apologetically: "Liang Zai, let me tell you, you can't be like this to your predecessors, do you know?" ”

"Quick, follow the tail, come over and admit your mistake to Liangzai, quick!"

Yu Xiangwei was innocently dragged forward by General Fan and slapped the back of the head, "Quick, apologize to Liangzai." ”

"Yes, I'm sorry Ryoko." Yu Xiangwei is three years older than Ou Chuliang, but at this time he is still like a child who has done something wrong, bowing his head and apologizing.

Seeing that Ou Chuliang still looked wide-eyed, General Fan stretched out his right hand and brought Shen Sixu in front of him again, "And you, obviously have so much physical strength, what are you doing in the last time?" Don't want to defend, want to go home and hug your wife? ”

Shen Si is four years older than Ou Chuliang, but she was selected for the national team this year. In addition, General Fan is also the captain in Shenhua, so what General Fan says, Shen Si can only listen to.

"I'm sorry Ryoko, I finally slipped away. You have a lot of them, spare me! ”

Facing Shen Si's apology, Ou Chuliang rolled his eyes.

It is true that Yu Tail and Shen Si came on as substitutes and had more physical strength than others at the end of the game, but the final kick was entirely a problem for the midfielders. Moreover, Herzog is Austria's leading star and has a strategy to focus on defending him before the game starts. But before the end of the game, he was allowed to get up so easily.

The reason for this is that General Fan and Wu Chengying were shaken out of position, and the others went to fill the gap. And then add to that Herzog had no one around him and was too far away from the goal, so Lee? , Ma Mingyu and others did not stick it on the first time, and finally caused Herzog to take a few steps with the ball and get up easily.

Although Ou Chuliang was angry, he was also angry that these teammates slipped up at the last moment of the game.

But seeing General Fan's appearance of apologizing in front of him one by one if he didn't coax himself, Ou Chuliang could only wave his hand helplessly, "Okay, everyone is teammates, there's nothing like you being wrong about me." We are a collective, what is there to fight together, what is difficult to do together! ”

These two sentences can be regarded as giving General Fan a step down, hearing Ou Chuliang let go, Pan Dajiang wiped the sweat on his forehead, and put one arm on Ou Chuliang's shoulder: "I'll just say, our family has a lot of Liangzai, and he won't be really angry with us, the big guy said, right?" ”

"Yes!!" The teammates replied in unison.

Looking at General Fan who was smirking beside him, Ou Chuliang pursed his lips and walked straight to the sidelines.

General Fan took advantage of this to give the other teammates a look and signaled for "crisis" contact. Seeing this, the players breathed a sigh of relief and got together in twos and threes to talk about the game.

"Tiezi, you said that if Brother Ou is still angry, will you or me be the next to be caught and admit his mistake?" Yao Xia got to Li? Beside him, he asked softly.

Since Qi Hong, Ma Mingyu and others are "equals" with General Fan, General Fan must have picked up the "juniors" first when he pulled people in front of Ou Chuliang. Although Yao Xia was selected for the national team in 96, he has never played in the main team. Even in this year's World Cup, I came to the national team to be a substitute. From this point of view, Yao Xia is similar to Shen Si, Yu Hewei and others.

"It's definitely not me." Plum? Shook his head.

"Why?" As a representative of the Sichuan Army, Yao Xia was full of curiosity.

"Because the captain can't pull me!" Plum? Raising his right arm, he flexed his muscles and gestured at the two of them.

"Ah???h

In an instant, Yaoxia, who understood everything, opened his mouth wide and froze in place.

Wu Chengying on the side walked by, and glanced at Yaoxia's appearance. With a twist of his head, he spat out a simple note from his nostrils.

"Humph!"
