Chapter 390: Confusing Behavior
The strange thing about this game is not only on the field, but also the number of fouls on both sides.
The first half lasted until the 25th minute, and the number of fouls on both sides combined had just broken the double, and the gem card was not even conceded, and even the number of throw-ins was far below the average of this World Cup.
Of course, there is a special reason here, the Chinese team played a moral role model on the green field today, showing a civilized politeness that is very in line with the expectations of the domestic colon, to put it bluntly, it is to sacrifice the "friendship first, game second" style that they have long been thrown into the Pacific Ocean.
But don't think it's a crime, it's black and white, and occasionally you have to do the opposite.
Today's Chinese football is no longer a role that is bullied by others, on the contrary, it has left the world with the impression of never giving up, never being discouraged, never bowing down, and always being difficult.
Let's put it this way, any strong team against the Chinese team, no matter whether they win or lose, there will definitely be people who are tired and prostration.
This also led to a long time, everyone couldn't help but have trouble after seeing the Chinese team, who let play with this team is a cruel test for both mental and physical.
But such a team is also respected, at least by anyone.
If such a respected and valued team plays very clean from the start, and you can't see him kicking from behind your back, let alone hurting people, even if you are violated, you will reason with a smile after being violated, then how will you react?
If you are so old and so virgin, then there will naturally be a standard ending of "people are good and are bullied".
But if you suddenly play such a game, although the French players don't know the phrase "don't hit the smiling person", they will definitely feel guilty in a short time, and there will be a lot less malicious fouls and hurtful actions.
That's enough for the Chinese team, they just want to play a friendly and civilized game with the French, because that's all there is to it in the World Cup.
The real intention here, of course, is that after the French become civilized and polite with them, the three referees will not have much room to operate.
These referees can't interfere with the smooth rhythm that the audience likes to watch the most, in this kind of game where they barely kick out from behind and often take the initiative to pull the opponent up after tackling the opponent, right?
The French also enjoyed this kind of tempo, although they were on the side of the suppressed and actually needed a more brutal defense to keep the Chinese at bay.
But at least until they really fall behind, they will not react to the Chinese team.
It wasn't until the 36th minute of the first half that the French finally tasted the bitter fruit of "friendship first".
It was a friendly turn that the French began to regret when Platini was pinched to the ground by Chen Haonan and Zhen Aiguo a minute earlier when the French team was attacking.
After Platini lost the ball, he was naturally worried that the opponent would take the opportunity to counterattack, so he immediately fell to the ground and rolled, hoping that the referee would give the Chinese team a foul.
But this goal Chen Haonan's foot was very clean, and the French team's retreat was quite timely, and the referee finally ignored it.
Chen Haonan saw that there was no good opportunity to counterattack, so he simply continued to fool the opponent with the performance of the Virgin, and kicked the ball to the audience in the opponent's half.
It was clearly a handicap that would have been forced to applaud the French fans, and it was a model of sportsmanship in football.
Platini was naturally embarrassed to stand up immediately, and when he rolled just now, he looked like he was seriously injured by a kick.
Now that people are kicking the ball out of bounds so kindly, wouldn't he be ridiculed by the whole world if he stood up immediately?
If this matter is more serious, it may even be criticized for having a problem with his character, thinking that he used such an unqualified method to block the attack of the Chinese team.
If someone really wore such a hat, it really couldn't even raise their heads with French football.
So he could only act in a full set, and limped to the sidelines to treat his injuries.
Wu Jie can be sure that Platini is pretending to be injured at this time, not only because he has had a similar performance, but mainly because his system shows that Platini's state is still 94 at the beginning, which means that he has nothing to do at all.
But Platini's outfit made the French have to face 10 men in a short period of time, and the Chinese team's goal must also be replaced, otherwise it will be ridiculed by the whole world.
After the Frenchman served in the backcourt, he kicked the ball directly to the Chinese team's half, which was to return the ball to the Chinese team.
After Lin Yaodong got the football in front of the goal, he looked up and observed, and without saying a word, he kicked the ball back.
But this time it was not a friendly handicap, Wu Jie won the battle again, and also pushed the ball directly to the side.
Alan Giresser is here, he still has about 90 ability points in the last World Cup, but people have to serve the old, this year Gireser is 34 years old, not to mention in the football world in the 80s, even after 40 years, few people can still maintain their form.
The 27-year-old Gu Guangming is in his prime, and this time the contest between the two short players ended with the victory of the younger side.
Gu Guangming not only used his wide range of rhythm changes to shake Giresser, but also cut to the penalty area after completing the pass, forcing the French team to send someone to make up for the defense.
But the problem is that the French team will have one less person, and there will be leaks everywhere in the penalty area as soon as they make up for it.
Wu Jie did not force the ball against the double defense, but used his own pull to further collapse the French team's defensive formation.
At this time, Zhao Dayu got the best chance of the day, he received a precise cross from his old teammate at the back of the small penalty area.
The Chinese striker in this position does not have the tradition of being kicked three or four meters in front of the goal, Zhao Dayu did not stop the ball after rushing to the ball, and with a relaxed push of the football, the football was sent into the goal a few miles away, and the whole process was "silky" in two words.
Zhao Dayu was naturally very excited after scoring the goal, but he didn't seem too crazy, laughing and running to his old teammates who assisted him.
He knew that 30% of the credit for this goal should be attributed to Wu Jie's top ferry, and half of it was due to Gu Guangming's successful defense and accurate passing on the side, and he, the goalkeeper, could only account for 20% of the contribution at most, because this kind of ball would not miss any forward line of the Chinese team to play.
It's not that Zhao Dayu is not confident, he is already confident that he didn't celebrate wildly.
This can only say that there is no shortage of good strikers in the current Chinese team, Yang Shuhua has replaced his starting position, Liu Haiguang's level is not inferior to him but he does not even have the opportunity to play, and there are several strikers in the domestic second team who are not worse than him, but these people do not even have the opportunity to sit on the bench in Mexico.
So if this kind of free ball can be missed, he is afraid that he will not have a chance to enter the national team again in the future.
At this moment, there was a scene far more classic than this goal on the sidelines, I saw Platini who was acting in a full set, and saw Gu Guangming complete the breakthrough and cut, and when he passed the ball to the small penalty area, he stood up with a "snap", and it was very fast! In a hurry, he also pushed the team doctor who was blocking his view to the side, but the key was that the latter didn't stand firm and fell directly, which was equivalent to being pushed down by him!
This shot was naturally captured by the live broadcast room, and in addition to the French fans, fans all over the world began to laugh at the French team that conceded goals and was embarrassed, especially Platini, who pushed the team doctor down.
"Chinese basketball has won the World Championships and the Olympic championship with lightning-fast running and bombing tactics, and now Chinese football seems to have learned the essence of the 'blitzkrieg' tactic, their attack only through 4 people touched the ball, and completed the goal in 10 seconds, which can be called the 'bombardment' on the football field."
"The Indians should be very aware of the fast attack of the Chinese team, but they are much faster to change the name of their capital."
"Hahaha, that Italian performed French kickboxing on the sidelines?"
"Look, is the French team doctor wearing a pain mask?"
"The French don't know how to act, but they just don't know how to act!"
"Michelle is not acting, and the physique of people cannot be generalized, I once shoveled a kangaroo away with my broken legs in extreme anger!"
“……”
Platini was indeed angry at this meeting, but there was nothing wrong with the Chinese team's goal in this ball, and even the French couldn't say the word "sneak attack".
They attacked from in front of their own penalty area, and the goal couldn't have been more open.
As for the fact that you have one less person, it is better not to mention it.
Now the 1:0 down is not a small blow to the French team, but the bigger blow is still on the psychological level, Platini's action makes the "shame" fill the hearts of every French player.
Wu Jie also had to admit that the impact of this goal was very great, although they had the advantage before, they were somewhat out of the mood to score.
There is a part of the luck here, but more because the French team has been formed for six or seven years, even if there is no advantage in the Chinese team's system, but such a long time is enough for them to build a complete defensive system, and the whole team is relatively tacit, and it is not so simple to really want to score.
Now the situation is completely different after scoring a goal, but the Chinese team did not follow the previous style, shrinking the formation as soon as it took the lead, and lured the opponent to attack aggressively and then revealed the flaws.
Today's Chinese team still chose to suppress the French team with offense after scoring the lead.
This is not the opposite, but the mentality is bound to explode after the humiliating conceded goal by the French!
At this time, it is possible to defend and counterattack, but it is also a way to take advantage of the situation and attack to expand the advantage.
If it were a normal situation, Wu Jie would probably still choose to be conservative.
But today he has to guard against the referee's X factor, he feels that a one-goal lead is not safe, the key is that after strengthening the defense, there will be a high chance of being blown foul, so it is better to continue to attack with the French.
Now this incomparably smooth and friendly rhythm can minimize the risk of fouls by the Chinese team, which is the most reasonable choice.
He is also sure that the arrogance and pride of the French will make them even less likely to fight back with savage fouls when they are behind.
It's a game that fans all over the world are watching, and the "face" thing is really important for the old team.
Don't talk about the French team, the Chinese team is now playing Asian teams, and they are also embarrassed to play defensive counterattacks, otherwise they will lose face if they win.
The French did not choose to be barbaric, which is a reason why the United States will not tear its face before China becomes the second in the world, and Chinese football has not yet reached the point where the French will win without losing face.
But if both sides don't increase their defensive actions, the referee will not be able to double standard!
The reaction of the French team when they fell behind was to start pressing out and attacking, and chose to start a real hearty attack with the Chinese team.
In other words, at this time, the French finally couldn't hold their breath defensively, so Wu Jie's chance to attack naturally came.
The chance came late in the first half, when China launched a counter-attack after completing a broken ball.
Wu Jie, who is playing more bait today, finally has the opportunity to show his personal ability.
The Chinese team's style of play at this time is very simple, Wu Jie advances with the ball in the middle to find opportunities for "show", and others can open up space to respond.
Whether this style of play can create opportunities to score goals depends entirely on whether Wu Jie can "show" it.
Tigana was the first to be shown, he originally wanted to use the cadence advantage brought by his height to sneak up on Wu Jie's bottom three to complete the break.
But I didn't expect Wu Jie's method of protecting the ball to be too strong, and he directly used the dimensional advantage to squeeze the French back waist who was about to stumble first.
Tigana couldn't even stand on his feet after eating this, so naturally there was no chance to break the ball.
The referee hesitated for a long time, but he still didn't dare to blow a foul on such a normal confrontation action as an alien.
Wu Jie seized the opportunity and immediately dribbled the ball to the hinterland of the French team.
The French, however, were prepared, and the nearest Platini and Bosis came at him.
Wu Jie didn't play with them, and immediately shook his calf when he led the other party to him, and passed the ball to Chen Haonan, who was inserted at high speed.
Now the French players are panicking, one Wu Jie is enough to give people a headache, and another Chen Haonan is really a bit stretched!
Chen Haonan's dribbling and ball protection are also difficult to be stealed, and the French team can only retreat quickly in the face of China's twin star combination, and dare not dare to step forward to defend again, otherwise once Chen Haonan passes by, the entire defensive formation will collapse.
Chen Haonan kept advancing the ball to the 40-meter area in front of the goal before encountering resistance, and then he handed the ball back to Wu Jie, who was stretching out his hand in the card owner's position.
This pass seems very unwise, at this moment Wu Jie is next to Tigana who has caught up again, and there are a large number of French players in front of him in front of the penalty area, who can come forward to surround him at any time.
At this time, the defense of the two wings is relatively weak, and it is clear that it is better to split the ball on the side, and the French team is too dense to defend in front.
But I'm sorry, if the world's No. 1 person is really used as bait to involve the opponent, this seems to be an even more unreasonable approach.
Wu Jie took the ball and attracted Platini and Bosis to wrap up, which is equivalent to three people pinching him from front to back.
Ordinary players must have to divide the ball quickly at this time, but Wu Jie chose to pick up the ball in the face of Tigana, who was sneaking in from the side, and Platini in front of him.
This action caused Tigana to kick the ball off the ground, and Platini's rush was interrupted, and neither of them knew for a moment how to react to the ball that was picked up in mid-air.
Wu Jie didn't give them time to react, and immediately turned to the left while knocking the ball from the right to the left with his chest.
Tigana was on Wu Jie's left side at this time, he could see the football in front of his eyes, but he was short and he had no room to operate the football in the air, so he could only watch Wu Jie not wait for the football to fall to the height he could touch, so he quickly raised his knee and knocked the ball to the right rear again, which was equivalent to turning the ball back to the direction facing Platini.
Platini couldn't see the position of the football after Wu Jie knocked the ball to the left with his chest, and he didn't expect Wu Jie to turn back with the ball at all.
Bossis then came in from the left front, and he didn't rush up with Platini just now, because he was worried about interfering with his teammates, and in fact Tigana and Platini interfered with each other to a certain extent.
He is very witty and stands a little back, just to be wary of being broken through by Wu Jie, and no one can make up for it.
But Boscis's supplementary defense still failed, and Wu Jie still did not let the football fall to the ground after passing Platini and Tigana in a playful way, but as if predicted, with agility that did not match his size, he made a sharp stop to the right side of the ball, and then accelerated sideways to get rid of two French defenders, including Battistone.
In less than three seconds, the French team was actually killed out of the crowd by Wu Jie.
Joel Butz's eyes widened in front of the goal, staring closely at Wu Jie, who didn't know how to kill out of the crowd of teammates, and was always on guard against him for a sudden cold shot in the penalty area at any time.
His vigilance was really right, Wu Jie just flashed a short gap after breaking through horizontally, and immediately shot from a position of at least 35 meters outside the big penalty area.
It was a powerful low shot, and the ball went quickly and quickly as it hit the turf and flew towards the goal.
If there is a fly in the ointment, it is that the angle of the shot is not tricky, because he really does not have more time to adjust.
Joel Butz immediately judged the path of the ball, and understood that it would not be wise to block such a shot with both fists or legs, because the ball was too fast to miss the football, and secondly, there was no guarantee that the ball would not fall at the feet of the Chinese players.
So he decided to fall to the ground and pounce on the football, so that he could use his whole body to press the ball under him, and even if it popped up, it would not let the second drop point be too outrageous.
However, he didn't know that France and England had been producing the same butter hand goalkeeper since the late 80s, and he was a classic butter player.
But the most important thing is that there is a very famous company in France, Wu Jie is not tricky this time, but his powerful long-range shot actually passed through the mold when he should have been pressed under him, and then slowed down and continued to roll towards the goal behind Joel Butz.
Joel Butz's reaction was outrageous, as he made a save from outside the six-yard box, and the ball had slowed down dramatically after the ball had been moulded, and he just had to react quickly to turn around and get the ball on the goal line.
But in the panicked shouts of the French fans, Joel Butz did not quickly turn around and crawl to save the ball, but hammered the turf twice hard, then fell to the ground and buried his head deeply.
"It's ...... What's the situation? ”
Wu Jie, like fans around the world who witnessed the scene, was greatly puzzled by Joel Butz's reaction.
There's a chance to save this ball?
What do you mean when you're lying there hammering turf?
