Chapter Twenty-Four: Can You Blow This Ball Off?
From the very beginning of this game, many scouts from Europe found that the Chinese players exuded a fierce aura!
They don't know that this can be called extremely vicious, anyway, today's Chinese players look very fierce!
The starting lineup of the Chinese team is also basically fixed-
Forwards: Wu Jie, Zhao Dayu.
Midfielders: Shen Xiangfu, Rong Zhixing, Zuo Shusheng, Gu Guangming.
Backcourt: Zang Cailing, Cai Jinbiao, Chi Shangbin, Lin Lefeng.
Goalkeeper: Li Fusheng.
The Chinese team won the coin guessing session after the opening, and they decided to take the lead!
Less than a minute into the game, veteran Yung Zhixing used his personal ability to break into the 30-metre area in front of goal, and in the face of the Kuwaiti player's ferocious collision action, he distributed the ball to the side before falling to the ground.
Gu Guangming stopped the ball with the outside of his instep, and looked like he was about to cross the bottom, but in the process of breaking through, he suddenly buckled, stopped and cut inside to get rid of the defense, and used his speed to kill in the penalty area!
This inside cut is very brilliant and very threatening.
Kuwait's midfielder immediately destroyed the ball with a foul move, and Gu Guangming fell hard outside the penalty area.
It's not a penalty, of course, but at least a free kick should be given, and a yellow card if the referee is strict is enough.
But the Soviet referee didn't even look at Gu Guangming, who fell to the ground and rolled, and the Kuwaiti player grabbed the ball and immediately launched a counterattack.
However, what is interesting is that the Chinese players didn't even look at it, and the whole team launched a defense for the first time.
Gu Guangming saw that the referee didn't give a card, so he hurriedly limped up, and his steps returned to normal after half a minute.
Of course, the Kuwaiti's counterattack was unsuccessful, Chi Shangbin quickly destroyed the pass, Zuo Shusheng took the football away, and the Chinese team continued to attack forward after stabilizing the formation.
Kuwait put on a 3-5-2 formation today, but it was actually a 5-4-1 defensive counter-attacking position, mainly to deal with the high-altitude bombardment after the breakthrough cross from the two Chinese wings, and at the same time strengthen the stability of the middle and back line.
As for what to do on the offensive end, after the French coach hired with a high salary learned that the referee was his own, he decisively decided that "the goal depends on the referee", and the defense depends on "more people + referee", so it is really good to play a penalty kick to win.
This formation makes Kuwait's goal 30 meters very stable, and even nine people can be placed in this area if necessary, and he does not believe that the Chinese team can break through such a dense defense when the referee is completely inclined to his side.
In the face of this kind of defense, it is indeed difficult for the Chinese team to make more than three passes in the 30-meter area, and at most they can only look for opportunities in the midfield.
Wu Jie has always had two people around him, not to mention thirty meters in front of the goal, as long as he gets the ball in the front court, he will inevitably be fouled tactically, and the foul actions of Kuwaiti players are not light at all.
On top of that, most of these fouls go unpunished.
In the 8th minute, when Wu Jie just got the ball with his back, the Kuwaiti player kicked him directly in the heel from behind.
Of course, it hurts now, no matter how experienced Wu Jie is, it is impossible to avoid all the tricks, and immediately use his five-star acting skills to roll on the ground.
The Soviet referee naturally turned a blind eye, and the Kuwaiti team immediately broke the ball and launched a counterattack.
Thankfully, they focused on defending and didn't put enough attacking force up front, so they couldn't pose a real threat this time, and the football was stopped outside the threat zone.
The overall strength of the Kuwaiti team is not inferior to that of South Korea and Iran, but they have to allocate enough manpower to keep an eye on Wu Jie at all times, as well as Gu Guangming and Shen Xiangfu on the two flanks, which makes it difficult for them to commit too many troops when attacking.
But it doesn't matter, the Kuwaiti striker saw that there was no chance, so he simply forced his way into the penalty area, and then fell to the ground after losing his position and unable to control the football.
This kind of fake fall, under normal circumstances, you have to eat cards.
But today's game is not next to normal, everyone knows that the Kuwaitis want to win the championship by any means, and the target of the pit is Chinese, so as long as it is not particularly excessive, FIFA will not intervene, and the AFC will not see anything.
The Soviet referee decisively awarded Cai Jinbiao a foul and awarded Kuwait a free kick in the arc of the penalty spot.
The Chinese players stepped forward to protest, Cai Jinbiao's defense was clean enough, this ball was not faked, and he actually awarded a very threatening free kick, so he was not ready to play?
The Soviet referee had an unkind face, and a pair of eagle eyes looked around at the pesky Chinese player, ready to see that guy's bad attitude, he was ready to draw his cards.
Rong Zhixing and Chi Shangbin hurriedly stepped forward to pull away the team members, but don't eat another card.
"We didn't receive a replay of this goal, and the footage of Wu Jie being kicked down just now was also not replayed. This time the Soviet referee gave a free kick that was a great threat to the Chinese team, and I hope our lads are ready, and our opponents are prepared! ”
Today, CCTV will naturally broadcast the finals, and it is conservatively estimated that at least hundreds of millions of people will gather around the radio to listen to the game.
Song Shixiong's voice rarely had a hint of anger, and it was even more rare to have an extraneous voice, which showed how angry he was in his heart!
The Chinese team's preparation is really sufficient, and Kuwait's free kick chose to hit the goal directly.
Chi Shangbin saw the football flying towards him, and without thinking about it, he used his head to block the cannonball-like football, risking a concussion to keep the goal away from the threat, but after he landed, he almost couldn't stand on his feet, staggering as if he was drunk.
Zuo Shusheng competed with the Kuwaiti player for the landing point of the football, and he relied on himself to be taller and pushed the ball to the front of the court.
Wu Jie had already retreated to his own half, and when he saw the football flying towards him, he immediately jumped up and pushed the ball behind him.
This one is very knowledgeable, and the two Kuwaiti players around him thought he was going to ferry the ball to his teammates.
But unexpectedly, Wu Jie pushed the ball behind him, and quickly reversed to bypass their close defense after landing.
The reaction of the two Kuwaiti defenders was not slow, one hurriedly chased the ball, and the other chased people.
But when they saw Wu Jie, who had bypassed him, rushing towards the football at a faster speed, they were all inexplicably frightened in their hearts!
The two knew right away that they had made a mistake!
The French coach off the field was so angry that he bounced off the bench, and the defensive awareness and on-the-spot reaction of these Kuwaiti defenders were still too poor.
If this ball is replaced by a European team, it must be one person to block Wu Jie, and one person to chase football, so that it can be foolproof!
But the two Kuwaiti players who understood it were too late, and although Wu Jie's "movement" attribute was only in his early eighties, the "speed" and "acceleration" of the subdivision had reached 85.
This kind of speed is not fast in the world, but it is faster than the speed of eighty percent of players.
Today, in order not to suffer a big loss physically, the two defenders responsible for defending him are more than 1.8 meters tall, which is to deal with his excellent body and headers.
But when the height goes up, the speed naturally decreases.
The "speed" and "acceleration" of these two people are only in their early 70s, and it is difficult to catch up once they are thrown away, because Wu Jie's speed with the ball is not much slower than running in the air, even if he carries the ball, it is a little faster than these two.
After the fans in front of the TV saw Wu Jie's beautiful ball and shook off the two dog skin plasters, they immediately rushed to the front court with the ball at full speed!
Behind him were four Kuwaiti players desperately chasing back, but none of them could close the distance to him, it was a pure speed contest!
At this moment, except for the goalkeeper of Kuwait, Wu Jie has no enemies in front of him, and the whole person is like a wild horse rushing towards the empty front.
Song Shixiong's knowledge is higher, and he described Wu Jie at this moment as like a Dapeng - "Once the Dapeng rises with the wind, it soars up to 90,000 miles."
Kuwaiti fans have closed their eyes, they have watched so many games of the Chinese team, how can they not know that once this No. 10 gets this kind of one-knife opportunity, it is basically equivalent to losing the goal.
The Soviet referee and linesman were also helpless, even if they wanted to blow offside for this goal, there was no excuse, because the fullbacks of the Kuwait team were three or four positions behind Wu Jie at that time.
But the most helpless thing was the goalkeeper of the Kuwait team, he saw that his teammates were left behind by Wu Jie, and the terrifying guy was quickly killing the goal he was guarding, and he could only attack passively at this time.
However, everyone knows that Wu Jie has one stunt that is best suited to the goalkeeper, and that is his trademark "pendulum pass"!
The Kuwaiti goalkeeper just rushed to the big penalty area, and without waiting for the opponent to use this trick, he directly tackled it fiercely.
But this choice is a bit of a broken jar, Wu Jie flashed the ball with the ball at the same time, and then sent the ball into the empty goal with a light push, and rushed into the goal with two Kuwaiti fullbacks who wanted to block the ball.
"Can you blow this ball off?"
After Wu Jie scored the goal, he glanced in the direction of the Soviet referee, and a contemptuous smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
It's better for this hairy bear to become half-dead sooner!
