Chapter 367: Is This a Great Power Confrontation?
After the two teams finished entering, when the live broadcast camera was given to the audience, an embarrassing scene appeared for both sides, because it was easy to find from the camera that there were not many fans on both sides!
The stadium, which can accommodate 45,000 people, seems to be more than 20,000 even if you count Soviet and Chinese fans today, which is not much different from the number of neutral fans.
But it's the World Cup!
The normal situation is that fans in the two warring countries will buy all the tickets in the hands of scalpers at any cost, and it is unlikely that they will see more than 20% of neutral fans, and their role is only to separate the fans of the two countries.
Half of the neutral fans came into the stadium today, which was of course an embarrassing situation.
But this is also in line with the national conditions of these two countries, one of which is the high-pressure political environment and the rapidly deteriorating people's livelihood, and the other side is the poor rabbits who have just opened up and have not yet become rich even the first batch of people to get rich.
Wu Jie is very satisfied with being able to see tens of thousands of yellow-skinned Asian faces in this World Cup, knowing that there are not even 3,000 people in the last World Cup.
But he also knows that more than half of these Asian faces should be of Chinese descent and his Japanese fans.
If it weren't for the poor security in Mexico and the shortage of hotels, there would be a lot more of these non-Chinese Asian faces.
But even now, there are more yellow-skinned fans on the scene than Soviet fans, so it is the Soviet Union that is even more embarrassing, after all, as the two strongest countries in the active service, there are fewer fans than the Chinese team in the World Cup, no matter how you look at it, it is very shameless.
Naturally, the Chinese team did not mean to underestimate the Soviets, they knew very well that they were not qualified to look down on others in terms of strength or the number of supporters on the spot.
But when it came to the game, the Chinese players still didn't expect the Soviets' offensive to be so ferocious!
In the 80s, the world began to play with an all-attacking and all-defensive.
The Soviets were no exception, they did not plan to play tricks with the Chinese, they did not even try, and as soon as they came up, they shouted "Ula" and launched an attack.
The Chinese team was not unprepared, but the guy nicknamed "Lightning" still humiliated the experienced Chinese defenders.
In the 6th minute of the first half, the Chinese team was still conducting a regular test, and the Soviet star, Mikhailichenko, a talented midfielder from Dynamo Kyiv, used his physical advantage to complete a powerful breakthrough under Zhen Aiguo's close press, and sent a very spiritual straight plug before Chen Haonan made up the defense.
The pass was very spiritual and of very high quality, but Jia Xiuquan still sensed the danger, including Li Junwei on the wing, who also came from one side to flank, and their chain defense reacted in time.
But neither of them expected that the thin Belanov would have a faster speed than them, and even Li Junwei, who is known for his speed, couldn't catch up.
Mikhailichenko's penetrating but seemingly powerful pass was clearly directed to Belanov, who managed to catch the ball with his incredible speed in front of the penalty area.
Lin Yaodong wanted to scold his mother at this time, his initial prediction of this goal was to take the initiative, and he was sure that he could get the football first.
But the speed of this individual Lanov was amazing, and Jia Xiuquan and Li Junwei could not hinder him in the slightest, and the result was that when he came out in front of the penalty area, Belanov had already completed the shot first.
"It's all grass!"
Lin Yaodong rarely makes such a mistake in prediction, but at this moment, he can only block it in an awkward position and opportunity.
Belanov showed the strength of the European Footballer of the Year against Lin Yaodong by poking the ball under Lim's armpit with his toes, and the ball rolled across the goal line before Li Junwei chased back to the goal.
"Made, I said that this guy is very fast, and he has to get his position in advance and block his passing route in advance!"
Lin Yaodong was furious after getting up, this ball was indeed his teammates who were messing with him, his own defender did not delay in the slightest, let him go one-on-one with such a speed-oriented striker, he was a god and had not much chance of winning.
"A ball, don't worry."
Wu Jie's heart was also very unhappy, it was too uncomfortable to lose the ball so quickly.
But he still rushed over to comfort his teammates as soon as possible, and his mentality must not collapse at this time.
Of course, he didn't comfort Lin Yaodong, this guy wouldn't lose a ball and crack, he was worried that something would happen to his defender.
This Belanov, he actually knows very well, as the idol of the future "nuclear warhead" Shepchenko, although Belanov does not have the top ability to break through with the ball, but he can be called "lightning" in speed, and the threat he can create as a shooter is no worse than Shepchenko, it can be said that he is a slightly worse Shepchenko in physical confrontation and breakthrough with the ball, but he is better in running and shooting.
Wu Jie was worried before the game that his defenders would give it in vain, and what they were most afraid of in the chain defense was that they didn't take the ball, but the speed was amazing, the running position was erratic, and they could create huge damage when they got the ball.
But even with adequate precautions, the line was torn apart by this Soviet lightning with absolute speed.
"This guy is faster than Cunningham!"
Chen Haonan also looked at Belanov, who was celebrating with a military salute, and his expression was very jealous.
"Actually, their speed is about the same, but this person's running awareness, stopping ability, basic skills, and shooting skills are much better!"
Wu Jie didn't think that Belanov's pure speed was faster than Cunningham's, but he was much better than that little in terms of threatening this Soviet man.
This is the soon-to-be-released "European Footballer of the Year", I really think anyone can get this honor!
In the past two years, Belanov has just stepped into the peak, if he is put in the top clubs of the five major leagues, in addition to Serie A, it is absolutely no problem to score 20+ goals in a season, and it is not hopeless to score 30+ goals.
"Okay, cheer up, although it makes me want to knock the ball so early, but the good news in the bad news is that we still have enough time to get back!"
After Lin Yaodong complained about the defenders, he suddenly encouraged his teammates nervously, which naturally caused Chen Haonan to roll his eyes.
But what he said is not unreasonable, since he has already conceded the goal, it is better to concede early than late.
The game restarted, and the Chinese team, which has been invincible in recent years, was actually broken through in less than ten minutes of the opening game, which surprised many people.
The Chinese fans in front of the TV no longer dare to underestimate the Soviets, and as for the neutral fans, this perfectly embodies what a "position" is.
Originally, more neutral fans were optimistic about the Chinese team, but this will also swarm the Soviet Union with the commentaries of various countries, and by the way, the Chinese team that does not seem to be very strong.
The Soviet players also felt that the Chinese team did not seem to be as good as they thought, but this idea only rose for a few minutes before disappearing.
After the Chinese team lost the goal, it naturally stopped trying and quickly let go of the attack.
Lin Yaodong also waved his hand, signaling that the defenders only need to cut off the passing route to Belanov and implement the anti-offside tactics well, as for whether the opponent will use Belanov's speed to deliver cannonballs in front of the penalty area, this is just left to him to deal with.
China's chain defence is intimidated by this type of speed shooter, but as the only goalkeeper in football who stays outside the box longer than in the box, he is best at dealing with this type of striker who needs to eat cake.
The Soviet midfield was of a decent level, but the clever passing just now didn't always come through. Besides, even if it came out, he wouldn't fall twice on the same move if he was prepared.
After the Chinese team restarted, they first began to strengthen their control of the midfield.
Chen Haonan is responsible for scheduling in the backfield, Wu Jie is responsible for taking the ball in the frontcourt, and the center and the two wingers are retreating, outflanking, and responding at any time......
This set of flesh-and-blood, solid-skeleton three-dimensional attacks soon forced the Soviets to retreat their forces and stabilize the defense.
But this was not the will of the Soviets, who wanted to take advantage of the momentum that broke out after taking the lead to defeat the Chinese team in one fell swoop.
They did so, but the two unreasonable superstars quickly controlled the situation with their individual abilities, forcing them to concentrate their forces and come back first to defend, and to put it bluntly, they were beaten back.
Lobachevsky, the famous head of the Soviet Union, was not surprised, and he had long decided not to use conventional methods against the Chinese midfield.
There were no surprises in this game, they were actually inferior from the start with an equal number of people.
In addition to Belanov's individual ability, that goal actually had a lot of luck.
If they want to beat the Chinese team, they still have to find a way to bypass the opponent's strong points, avoid the middle lane that cannot take advantage, at least they can't attack directly from the middle lane, so they will definitely not be able to reap the benefits.
Today, the Soviet team's formation also avoided the plan to meet the middle team in the middle, and he knew very well that the Chinese team was so strong in the middle that even the Brazilians would not be able to take advantage of it.
But the most tricky thing is the defense of the Chinese team, Wu Jie and Chen Haonan are both all-rounders who can attack and defend, if these two people do not hesitate to go to the side to make up for the defense, then they will not take advantage of attacking from the side.
Lobachevsky thought about it, and simply did not send attacking and speed-oriented wing players, but simply replaced the four all-round midfielders who can burst and pass, and today they are equivalent to a combination of two forward midfielders + two back midfielders.
This is a very strange formation, the purpose is to be able to take the ball in the middle and the side to carry out positional battles, or it can be understood that the side can be turned into the middle at any time, and of course, the middle can be turned into a side at any time, so that they can use a strong body, solid technology, and excellent coordination ability to assemble and fight.
Now it seems that the effect is not bad, today they can gather forces wherever they are, and then attack like a tank cluster, fully exploiting their physical superiority, and sending deadly shells to Belanov as arrows at any time.
This strategy also made it difficult for the Soviet Union to advance from the middle when attacking, although the Soviet Union was suppressed in the midfield, but the two wings made the Chinese team's defense passive again.
Jiang Wei and Li Junwei played very uncomfortable today, they are both speed-oriented side defenders, but today's two wings in the Soviet Union are all tall players with a height of nearly 1.9 meters, not only strong as a calf, but also very solid basic skills, and the key speed and explosiveness are not bad.
As a result, they are always knocked to the ground and then forced into attack positions, only to watch their teammates come to help them leak out of the gaps, or passively wipe their butts on the frontal battlefield.
As for their chain defense, they were also very passive by the Soviets' chain attack today, and the Soviets studied the Chinese team's defensive tactics very thoroughly.
At this moment, many people can already see that one of these two teams still has weaknesses, but the strengths are extremely prominent; The other has no obvious weaknesses, but lacks a superstar who can really hit the nail on the batter.
Therefore, the outcome depends on whether the Soviets can complete the defense around the weaknesses of the Chinese team, or whether the Chinese team can use their strong points to complete the breakthrough.
In the first 30 minutes of the first half, these two social teams that almost fought for the ownership of the red jersey before the game were still a back-and-forth situation on the whole.
However, in addition to the goal with a stroke of luck, the Soviets generally looked better with the Chinese team, and the possession rate and the number of shots on goal were also a small advantage for the Chinese team.
In the 35th minute, the Chinese team completed a near-perfect attack. fate
They used their back-and-forth dog walking tactics in midfield to finally leave the Soviets open in defence.
Chen Haonan was like holding a rope in his hand, and he was constantly scheduling back and forth in the backcourt, but suddenly as if he had opened the full-map vision, he transferred the ball to the right side where the opportunity appeared without warning.
Gu Guangming's presence on the right side today is very low, far less than Ren Zhihui, who has completed several wonderful breakthroughs on the left side, which is also the reason why the Soviets leaked out of the right side.
The Soviets soon regretted it, Gu Guangming didn't even look at his teammates after taking the ball, and immediately accelerated towards the opponent's hinterland, and was blocked by the tall defender Surakvilidze halfway, the right main player of Atletico Madrid was not afraid, and immediately used a set of continuous changes of direction in high-speed travel to complete the escape, and then did not stick to the ball at all, and passed the ball directly to the front of the penalty area.
Liu Haiguang is also very passive today, he is a high school striker who is known for his physical fitness, and he can oppress severants without suspense in Asia, even in the Bundesliga, he can be regarded as a famous role.
However, today, in the face of the Soviet defenders, who were not familiar at all, he could be said to have no temper at all.
These guys, who are tall and strong, not bad in explosiveness and speed, and who are not even clumsy, are simply his nemesis.
But only in the "fight for the top", even in the face of these guys who are not weak compared to the Italian defenders, he is also not afraid at all, because the "fight for the top" is not just a physical confrontation.
This time he faced off against Kuznetsov, who was half a lap older than him, and the winner was still him, the Chinese bomber, and the football was accurately pushed in front of Wu Jie, who had just knocked Bezsonov into an internal injury.
Bezsonov, as the strongest player in this Soviet team, never expected to be as easily injured as a peach.
Well, this evaluation was made by Wu Jie, who had just knocked him down again.
This time he was ravaged again in a hard-fought encounter, and it was the equally strong Protasov who helped him fill in the position.
Wu Jie showed a happy expression on his face, many Chinese players were restrained by the Soviets today, but he is not the nemesis of all Soviet players, this enhanced version of the English style, he couldn't have liked it more.
This Protasov is very tricky in Liu Haiguang's eyes, but in his eyes he is a peach that can be kneaded at will, and in the face of the menacing defense, he first quickly got rid of it with two consecutive smashes that almost vomited blood to death, and then burst into the penalty area with a cold shot without warning.
"There it is!"
Wu Jie's series of clean passes and shots are simply a hearty enjoyment in the eyes of fans in front of the TV.
He himself felt that this shot was there, the football was shot at the upper left corner that was difficult to save, and the ball speed was very fast, leaving little reaction time for the goalkeeper at all, even if it was replaced by Lin Yaodong, it would be difficult to save it.
But the result of the shot was announced with a "bang", and Dasayev, as the first goalkeeper of the Soviet Union in the eighties, was known as the Soviet goalkeeper closest to Yashin, even in the face of the alien's tricky shot, he still reached out and touched the football in the extreme save, causing the near-perfect shot to finally hit the post and bounce back into the penalty area, and was immediately kicked out of bounds by the Soviet defender.
At this moment, the world's commentaries began to praise Wu Jie again, and if there is indeed a team of aliens, it can never be underestimated!
But it is not only Wu Jie who cannot be underestimated, and the next corner kick is punished by Chen Haonan.
The Real Madrid core made the whole Soviet Union break out in a cold sweat with a whimsical shot directly from the corner kick area, only to see the football draw a high inward arc and successfully bypass the unprepared Dasayev.
However, the luck of the Chinese team seems to be bad today, as long as it scores, it is likely to become the best goal of this World Cup, and in the end it is only one centimeter short and actually smashed on the crossbar.
After the Chinese team missed consecutive chances to equalize, the Soviets' counterattack soon came.
Although they do not have an advantage on the field, they can still rely on targeted group operations to push the ball into the hinterland of the Chinese team, and pose a great threat to Lin Yaodong.
"Damn, no goalkeeper can show off in front of me!"
Lin Yaodong has long been more energetic with the opposite Dasayev, Wu Jie is now recognized as the world's No. 1 person, and Chen Haonan is also known as the world's No. 1 defender by many people, but he has not yet won the title of the world's No. 1 goalkeeper, and this Dasayev is considered to be a goalkeeper at the same level as him.
What made him more eager to fight was that Dasayev performed very well today, and in the first half he had already blocked Wu Jie's three high-quality shots, which is a performance that very few goalkeepers can complete.
This time, the Soviets advanced from the side to the middle layer by layer, Chen Haonan and Wu Jie only need to help, they actually follow the example of China to pass the ball back and back again, or move to the other side of the court on a large scale, but if there is no one to support, they will attack all the way from the side to the middle.
Chen Haonan went to make up for Belanov who was quite enchanting in his running position this time, and this Soviet lightning caused a great deterrent to their back line!
This person is not only speed conscious, but also has excellent basic skills, as long as the ball can be passed, he can really receive and complete a fatal shot, today Chen Haonan had to put most of his energy on this guy who is comparable to a nuclear bomb on the defensive end.
In this attack of the Soviets, Protasov finally completed the fatal pass, and Belanov still used his speed to grab the first landing point under the attack of Chen Haonan and Jia Xiuquan.
At this time, Wu Jie couldn't help but be amazed, Belanov did not force the ball under the attack of two defenders, but cleverly slipped the ball over.
Chen Haonan's head was big at that time, and he hurriedly turned around and rushed in the direction where the football had leaked.
But he will not be able to do it soon, and the nameless Zavalov has already gotten the football.
This was the first Soviet foreign aid in the history of the original plane Serie A, although his reputation is not obvious, but from his ability value of 89, he is also a ruthless character.
Zavalov received the ball and lay it down in the penalty area, and Belanov's out-of-the-box leak directly gave the Soviets a lethal single knife.
At this moment, the Chinese fans in front of the TV are really scared! When it was 1:0 just now, they were not in a hurry, because they were confident that they could catch it back.
But if it's 2:0, it's really deadly!
At this time, there was a "poof" sound on the TV, which immediately gave them a feeling of landing from the 18th floor in an instant, and their hearts suddenly fell into a short pause from a state of wild beating, and it is estimated that many people are going to have heart attacks.
"Ge Laozi!"
An old man in front of the TV almost scared out of heart disease, of course, seeing him so nervous, the room full of people was more nervous than him, but what they were worried about was not the question of the Chinese team winning or losing, but that this old man could not be too stimulated by a football game!
The person who relieved the whole of China at this moment is, of course, Lin Yaodong, the youngest of the four active goalkeepers.
This time, his performance made fans all over the world give a thumbs up, because he not only did not give the Soviet team a chance to make a follow-up shot, but also did not give a chance to take a throw-in.
Such a single-knife shot with a high probability of scoring a goal was actually held in his arms cleanly with a rabbit-like flying pounce.
"Made, that's the smell!"
At this time, all the Spanish strikers couldn't help but curse, and this feeling of despair finally made others taste it.
"Fight back to Lao Tzu!"
Lin Yaodong soon let the Spanish players see a more familiar scene, only to see him stand up immediately after completing the save, and ran two steps directly to the front court with a big foot.
The Soviet players just thought that the goal was there, and even many people were ready to celebrate, but after seeing the almost inevitable goal being rejected in such a desperate way, everyone was naturally in a deep regret and loss, and there was no idea of retreating at the first time.
They can't be blamed for this, the Soviets have not played against the Chinese team in the 80s, and even the number of times the Soviet players have played against Wu Jie and others in European club competitions seems to be only once or twice.
At this moment, even their head coach Lobachevsky did not guard against the Chinese team's move to attack directly through the goalkeeper.
Liu Haiguang threw the football hard in the front court and won a crucial battle for the top again, and the landing point of the football was naturally Wu Jie.
This time, the heart was beating wildly to become a Soviet, and Wu Jie was in a state of running wildly at this moment, but it was different from Belanov's performance from stationary to accelerating, as if it were lightning and fire.
Wu Jie didn't have the short-lived feeling of Belanov after starting speed, he was like an incomparably dazzling huge pillar of light, releasing enough light and sparks to illuminate the world along the way, and shot towards his opponent with an unrivaled attitude.
Kuznetsov had such an experience, he looked at Wu Jie, who was obviously charging with the ball alone, but the momentum was like a torrent of steel, and before he could make a complete defensive move, the person had already roared past him.
"It's too fast! How can this be stopped? ”
In order to keep up with Wu Jie's speed, Kuznetsov turned around and defended too violently, and immediately lost the center of gravity of his body, and almost threw himself into the street without physical contact.
But the embarrassment was embarrassed, and Kuznetsov still rolled and crawled back to chase back.
It's just that he knows very well that this kind of performance can only be in vain, Wu Jie is like a T-80 tank with a speed of 200 miles in his eyes, no wonder they all say that this is a monster that should not exist with the world.
But at this moment, the most desperate is Dasayev, Wu Jie's speed after starting at full speed is too fast, and they are completely unprepared for this fast attack of the Chinese team, originally he also hoped that Mr. Aircraft Carrier could help him, but the aircraft carrier was blown up and sunk in the blink of an eye, and people were about to rush to the restricted area.
But after all, he is one of the best goalkeepers in the game, and although his heart is full of despair, he still musters up the courage and chooses to attack and confront Wu Jie head-on.
Wu Jie crooked his mouth to reveal a very slap-induced expression, but his swaying body made fans all over the world cheer excitedly!
"Pendulum pass!"
"It's coming! Here it comes! He's coming! ”
"Evil Soviets, you can also taste the power of aliens!"
“……”
At this moment, everyone knew the upcoming ending, and when Wu Jie made this representative move, no goalkeeper was spared, including Lin Yaodong over there.
After Dasayev also made this non-human extraordinary move by Wu Jie, his entire pupils instantly dilated.
It was the first time he had encountered this move, but he naturally knew about this signature move of the "aliens".
But before he experienced it himself, he still couldn't imagine how desperate it would be to be a doorman at this time, and that feeling would be like being caught in the interrogation room of the disciplinary inspection committee.
So is there any suspense about the outcome?
Dasayev knows very well that there is no suspense, this kind of ball cannot be stopped at all, unless KGB comes out in person!
