Chapter 820: Dark Horse Showdown!
In the previous chapter, Sun Xiang was replaced by Wu Chengying, and he forgot to suspend the game......]
"There is not much time left, the first half is about to end, and it is estimated that it will be the last attack of the Japanese team."
After Collina blew the whistle, she looked at her watch frequently.
Shinji Ono in the backfield hoisted the ball into the big penalty area of the Chinese team, but Fan Zhiyi firmly pushed the ball out on the head of the Sandu master, the Sandu master was unwilling, bent over and carried, Fan Zhi, who fell from the air, lost his body balance in an instant, and fell to the right side, although he immediately opened his arm, but his right shoulder landed first!
It was at this time that Corina blew the whistle, but it blew the whistle at the end of the half, not for a foul on the triad.
But Fan Zhiyi lay on the ground and didn't get up, his left hand covered his right shoulder, his tiger eyes were closed, and he looked in pain. Li Weifeng ran over and asked:
"Captain, are you alright?"
", I fell on my shoulder."
"That idiot deliberately carried me."
Of course, the fool is talking about the three masters.
"Grass, he must have done it on purpose. If we can't kick it, we'll play yin. ”
"If I really hurt you, I'll be done with him!"
Li Weifeng looked at the direction where the three capital lords had gone, and his teeth creaked.
"Let's go back to the locker room and let the team doctor take a look,"
"The injury matters."
Zheng Zhi was calm, walked over to help Fan Zhiyi, and walked towards the player's tunnel together.
The coaching staff didn't notice the problem at first, and it wasn't until the team doctor examined Fan Zhiyi that they knew the seriousness of the matter.
"To be on the safe side, let's change people, my left shoulder may be broken."
"What?! You can't talk nonsense, it hasn't been inspected by the machine! After Zhu Guanghu listened to it, he immediately reprimanded.
The importance of Fan Zhiyi to the Chinese team's defense is self-evident, without Fan Zhiyi, it is equivalent to missing the Dinghai Shen Needle, if he is not there, the Chinese team's defensive ability will definitely decline a lot.
He turned his head to look at Fan Zhiyi.
"Fan Zhiyi, how do you feel now? Can you continue to play? ”
Fan Zhiyi's face also changed slightly, and when he heard that his injury might be a fracture, he was also worried, which meant that he couldn't participate in the next games. He quickly shook his right arm lightly several times, and then quickly frowned.
"Not optimistic." Three words popped up.
"Well," Zhu Guanghu nodded, understanding what he meant, not optimistic? It's so painful that I can't kick anymore.
"Translate, translate to Horton."
"Du Wei, Zhang Enhua, you go out to warm up now." didn't wait for Horton to give orders, he first let Du Wei and Zhang Enhua go out to warm up, anyway, sooner or later they would have to be replaced.
Horton also frowned after listening to the translation's description, but quickly made a decision.
"On Du Wei."
Zhu Guanghu was slightly stunned, but he didn't expect it to be Du Wei, not Zhang Enhua. Horton took risks again, preferring to give young people a chance rather than use the experienced Zhang Enhua. But it's okay to train newcomers, Zhang Enhua is old, and it is estimated that he will retire in a few years, and Du Wei is just a rising star.
"Zheng,"
'Control the tempo and keep playing the same way you did in the first half, but you have to dedicate some of your energy to protect the backline. The main thing is to pay attention to Du Wei's side. ”
Horton is still very worried about Du Wei, after all, he is inexperienced.
Zheng Zhi nodded seriously, and then patted Fan Zhiyi on the shoulder.
"Captain, don't worry, we're going to win the game. You can cheer us on the field with peace of mind! ”
What else can you say besides comforting Fan Zhiyi like this?
Yibian fought again, Du Wei appeared directly, this was his debut, even he didn't expect the opportunity to come like this.
"What's the matter, Du Wei is up? Who did he replace? ”
Huang Jianxiang searched around the screen.
"Oh my God, it's Fan Zhiyi. Was Fan Zhiyi injured just now? Because of that fall just now? ”
"It's troublesome, I don't know if it will affect the next game."
"Hehe, don't worry, although Fan Zhiyi is not here, but the others are still there, two goals ahead, we can't be overturned by the Japanese team." Zhang Lu comforted.
"I'm not talking about this game, I'm talking about the next game against Senegal. Senegal's impact is so strong, can Du Wei do it? I don't underestimate Du Wei, after all, he has too little experience in competitions, Fan Zhiyi is different, Fan Zhiyi has experienced the highest level of competition experience in Europe, which is definitely not something Du Wei can make up for. ”
"What can we do, if it comes, it will be safe, the matter has come to this point, we can only believe in Du Wei! After all, he has to grow up, it's good now, this half is very important for him. ”
……
The Japanese team also made a substitution, with coach Troussier replacing Mitsuto, who had a good performance in the first half but was not in harmony with the whole, with Takayuki Suzuki, and Daisuke Ichikawa replacing Junichi Inamoto, who was sleepwalking in the first half.
"Grass, that guy has been replaced," Li Weifeng was extremely disappointed after seeing that the three capital masters were replaced.
"I wanted to wait for him well, count him lucky!"
"Du Wei, I'm staring at Takayuki Suzuki, he just came up and can run, you just stared at Akira Nishizawa."
……
After the opening, the Japanese team obviously strengthened the pressing of the whole game, especially the competition in the midfield was very fierce. Relying on the advantage of a large number of people in the midfield, they tried to contain the Chinese team in the half, and often when the Chinese players got the ball, the Japanese team would have two players come up to press.
And they also seem to see Du Wei's point is the weak position of the Chinese team, so they consciously pass the ball to the feet of Akihiro Nishizawa, although Zheng Zhi is in front of the defense, but the Japanese team has been attacking on the right side, Wu Chengying and Du Wei obviously lack tacit understanding.
In the 52nd minute, Wu Chengying leaked behind him, but Du Wei hurriedly made up for it and made a mistake in clearing the siege! Maybe he was too nervous, and he didn't kick the ball in the middle of the ball, which should have been an opportunity to counterattack, but instead let the ball roll to the feet of Hidetoshi Nakata!
Hidetoshi Nakata kicked the goal directly from 22 meters on the right side of the penalty area, fortunately Li Weifeng flew over, and finally the ball hit Li Weifeng, slowing down, although Nishizawa Akihiro rushed up, but was still held in the arms of Ou Chuliang, who reacted quickly.
The Japanese team, who tasted the sweetness, crossed from the right again three minutes later, and Zheng Zhi came back to help this time, and before Akira Nishizawa, he actually cleared with the outside of his left foot about 2 meters away from the goal.
"Beautiful!"
"Zheng Zhi's technical use is very reasonable, and the handling of this ball is quite difficult, but Zheng Zhi just disposed of it lightly, and just gave the opponent a boundary ball."
"If it's Du Wei?"
"I guess I don't know what to do."
"Du Wei still has to learn from her teammates."
"Zheng Zhi is also a master on the defensive end."
After holding on to the first fifteen minutes, the Chinese team finally played a beautiful offensive. Sun Jihai instigated an offensive on the right side, Zheng Zhi handed the ball to Qu Peng after receiving it in the middle, Yang Chen and Su Maozhen involved the Japanese team's defenders in front, but Qu Peng passed the ball to the back point of the Japanese team, Shao Jia rushed into the left side of the penalty area, and hit the goal directly with his left foot! It's a pity that the goalkeeper of the Japanese team, Masatsushi Chiefisaki, also played very well and confiscated the ball.
Then the Japanese team still played the left side of China! Ming Shenzhi and straight plugged to the forward Ichikawa Daisuke, Ichikawa Daisuke immediately crossed from the right, and Akira Nishizawa still pressed Du Wei's header in the middle of the Chinese team's penalty area!
The ball was too upright, and it was dismembered and confiscated by Ou Chuliang.
"Alas, it's Du Wei again!"
"I knew that Zhang Enhua should have been on board, and Zhang Enhua probably wouldn't have been snatched up by Akira Nishizawa."
Huang Jianxiang shook his head vigorously.
Horton also narrowed his eyes off the field, and he was about to deny his original decision. Du Wei's performance fell far short of his expectations. Although they have not conceded a goal yet, the Japanese team has completely played well on the right side, including Oh Sung-young's performance on the defensive end.
It's not that they don't do their best, it's a matter of ability!
Zheng Zhi frequently made up for it here, but he still couldn't stop the Japanese team from playing a beautiful pass.
In the 65th minute, Shinji Ono hung to Hidetoshi Nakata outside the penalty area on the left side, and Akitoshi Nishizawa was on the right side of the penalty area to receive Hidetoshi Nakata's header to attack the goal, but Zheng Zhi rushed to him first, cleared the siege first, and kicked the ball out of the bottom line.
"Keep an eye on it!"
"Don't let them get the ball in comfort!"
"If you can't do it, you will foul!"
Zheng Zhi, who had already received Fan Zhiyi's captain's armband, roared.
Then the Japanese team's corner kick was not threatening, Ou Chuliang directly took the ball off, temporarily stabilized the defense, and then he instigated another attack, directly kicking off to find Qu Peng.
This is Ou Chuliang's usual method. Qu Peng is the fastest point of the Chinese team, and Qu Peng is the first choice for every counterattack. This time, he kicked the ball to Qu Peng, and after Qu Peng took the ball, he resolutely attacked Kazuyuki Toda, and overtook the ball on the outside!
Toda and Yuki wanted to foul, but they couldn't even see the tail lights, and when Koji Nakata came up, Qu Peng had already sent the ball to the Japanese team's penalty area, Su Maozhen carried Miyamoto Hengjing to death, pulled his right foot directly back, and set up a turret for Yang Chen, Yang Chen directly volleyed with his right foot 25 meters outside the penalty area!
Da~
The ball went just wide of the right post.
"Press it up!"
"Press it up!"
Zheng Zhi greeted in the midfield and signaled his teammates to press up, not giving the Japanese team so much space to attack.
The formation was at least 20 metres or so ahead, and Japan really didn't have that easy to pass through in midfield.
In the 69th minute, Li Yin broke the ball near the middle line and immediately handed the ball to Zheng Zhi, Zheng Zhi made a Marseille turn, shook Nakata Hidetoshi who followed him, and then immediately hoisted it into the right side, Qu Peng rushed up, but the ball was pushed out of the bottom line by Koji Nakata first.
The Chinese team got the opportunity to attack from a corner.
However, the Japanese players returned to defend all the way, and although the Chinese team won two corner kicks in a row, they failed to form a threat.
"Press!"
"Keep pressing!"
"Their fitness has dropped!"
Zheng Zhi keenly observed this, and when he saw that the Japanese player's pressing action slowed down, he thought that the opponent's physical fitness had declined, and quickly called his teammates to continue to put pressure on the opponent.
Then there were frequent problems with the Japanese team's transmission.
At this time, it rained again on the pitch and the pitch became slippery again.
In the 81st minute, Li Yin broke the ball in the front court again and handed it to Zheng Zhi again, Zheng Zhi took a big step forward and immediately kicked the goal! He's too smart to take advantage of rainy conditions to make things difficult for his opponents, and long-range shots are a good way to do it.
rumble
Another elevator is born!
Although it is 35 meters away, in the eyes of the goalkeeper of the Japanese team, this is a deadly missile! In an instant, it fell to him, he didn't dare to be careless, and swung his fists forward, only to hit the ball out of the big penalty area.
However, the ball still fell at the feet of the Chinese team players, Shao Jiayi stopped the ball on the left side outside the penalty area and knocked the ball to Zheng Zhi again!
Zheng Zhi shot at the ball again!
Rumble!
Another kick of the elevator ball!
This time it's closer, only about 30 meters!
Hidetoshi Nakata wanted to come over and block the bullet with his body, but the ball had already whistled past his ear, and then went straight to the bottom right corner of the goal!
Japan's goalkeeper Masashi Chiefzaki flew up this time and frantically slapped the ball into the lower right corner of the goal, but the ball landed on the turf first, and then bounced violently on the turf, without touching the ball!
duang!
In his desperation, the ball hit the right post!
He was about to thank God, but Qu Peng rushed up and made up the ball directly into the goal with his right foot!
He rejoiced too soon.
"The ball is in!"
"The ball is in!"
"The ball is in!"
"Pine!"
"Qu Pine scored the third goal of the game!"
“3:0,”
"The Chinese team leads the Japanese team 3:0, and the promotion is in sight!"
"At the critical moment, Zheng Zhi led the team to score again, his two deadly elevator goals made the Japanese goalkeeper helpless, Qu Peng's goal-making shot was also quite beautiful, and Koji Nakata, who followed him, couldn't find the north at all."
As soon as this goal was scored, the morale of the Japanese team was instantly lost, and no one believed that there would be a miracle. The Japanese fans wilted, and they had been cheering for the Japanese team majestically, but now they were just watching alone, desperately waiting for the game to end.
In the last few minutes, it became completely garbage time, the Chinese team only focused on defense and let the Japanese team attack, but the Japanese team's offense did not improve, everyone's spirit was gone, what else to play? I can't wait to end the game early.
In the end, the Chinese team maintained the victory until the end, defeating the Japanese team to enter the top 8 in history. They will face Senegal in the quarter-finals. It will be a contest between the two major Malaysians of this Cup.
"Quarterfinals!"
"Our opponent will be Senegal!"
"If we are a little bolder, we can imagine that the Chinese team will reach the semi-finals!"
"Senegal is dark, but I think we'll be darker!"
"As one of the hosts, the Japanese team has an end to their journey, and it is understandable that their pain is over, but in Asia, China will continue to represent Asia in the World Cup, and the journey is far from over!"
