According to Horton's original assumption, if Sun Jihai did not get a yellow card, he wanted to adjust Sun Jihai to the position of left back, and then replace Xu Yunlong to play right back, but this yellow card disrupted his deployment.

Now, the left side is also a big problem, Wu Chengying failed to defend Marlai, but Houghton couldn't find a better candidate, and in the left-back position, no one is better than Wu Chengying.

There is no way, Horton can move the left-back position if he wants, so he can only play like this.

There is nothing to say about the other positions, and he is also the strongest player.

"The battle is far from over,"

'I carried the first half, but at least 45 minutes left.

'The two opposing flanks are attacking and we have to fight them to the end.

'They're going to slow down, and our fitness is the advantage. When they slow down, that's when we fight back. ”

Horton was cautious and still stuck to the defense-oriented tactics and did not talk about offense. The time has not yet come, and trying to fight against France now may be to hasten its demise.

Therefore, the Chinese team still needs to defend and wait for the opportunity......

"But Zheng, you still need to get closer to Vieira, you can't get the ball easily in midfield, the two wings can't be defended, but we have to stop Vieira."

In the dressing room at the other end, there was some unpleasantness, of course, because of Anelka's two penalty problems, some people were unhappy with Anelka, and Dugarry gave advice to Le Maire in person.

'Nikolai is not fit to take penalties anymore and if there are penalties in the second half, I would suggest a change in the person who takes the penalty.

Dugari was straightforward, and he didn't care about Anelka's feelings, so he directly mentioned it. Anelka couldn't open his mouth even if he was upset, he didn't miss one penalty, he missed two penalties in a row. It's not as emboldened as he was to disdain Vieira just now.

"Yes,"

"Yes, there should be a change." Dugarry said so, and the other boss, Djokaeff, naturally chimed in. He doesn't usually speak, but when someone does, he takes sides.

"It should be considered." Desailly said the same thing.

What can Le Maire say? Several bigwigs all have the same opinion.

So, he quickly changed his name, "Then let Vieira take the penalty." ”

"After Vieira, it's Djokaeff."

Well, in fact, he was also ready to change, but the players mentioned it first......

……

Huang Jianxiang and Zhang Lu also began to discuss Horton's tactics.

"You have to defend in the second half,"

"There's no other way, the French team is too strong."

"Unless you can use set-pieces to score goals, I think it will be difficult to advance into the French team's big penalty area, and it is better to create a free kick in front of the big penalty area. Hey. ”

Huang Jianxiang shook his head, "It's a little difficult, Xie Hui and Yang Chen are not strikers who like to hold the ball, and their skills at their feet are very average." ”

"It would have been much better if there had been a dribbling striker up front. Do we have dribbling strikers? ”

"I don't think so." Zhang Lu replied very simply.

"I didn't expect that if you didn't say it, we lacked dexterous strikers, and the strikers were not good at fighting alone. It's okay if you don't have a dexterous type, but if you have a muscular type, like Vieri, you can also create problems, and if the other party can't carry you, you have to foul it. It's a pity that we don't have any. ”

"In this regard, hopefully Horton can consider finding one across the country, which is also a good addition to the lineup."

"Yes, like France, if they pull all the main players over, their strikers are quite distinctive, Anelka, Wiltord, Trezeguet, Thierry, these strikers all have distinct characteristics. A big football country is a big football country. The same is true on the Brazilian side, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Romario, Rivaldo, Kaka, Adriano, and Jardel are also very distinctive. Ours seem to be more ......."

"Actually, Qi Hong can, although he is not a striker."

……

Yibian fought again, the French team did not make substitutions, and Sun Jihai of the Chinese team was replaced by Xu Yunlong in advance. Before the game started, Horton asked Li Yin and Zheng Zhi to switch positions, adjusting Zheng Zhi to the other end, which could help Wu Chengying defend more. No matter how strong Li Yin is, he is not as reliable as Zheng Zhi, isn't he?

This slight adjustment still paid off very quickly, very quickly. As soon as the game opened, the French team found the increase in the Chinese team and the change in Zheng Zhi's position.

Zheng Zhi's reputation is too big, right? The French team's offense began to deviate to the other side, although Marais is good, but Zheng Zhi is here, and the defensive intensity must have increased.

Vieira, who organized in the backfield, decisively transferred the ball to the left side, Pire took the ball to face Qu Peng, and Qu Peng would not suffer in terms of speed, but Qu Peng's defensive ability was very average, and Pire did not worry about speed with him, and directly hit the wall with Wiltord in front of him, and suddenly stuffed the ball into the middle.

However, this time Anelka failed to bump into Fan Zhiyi, Fan Zhiyi carried Anelka steadily, and then Li Yin quickly caught it and snatched the ball away. To deal with Anelka, it is more suitable for two people, and this time Li Weifeng was not used.

Li Yin was quickly handed over to Zheng Zhi. Shao Jiayi immediately pulled out the space, Zheng Zhi's pass fell to his feet in time, and then he tried to plug it directly to Xie Hui, but his direct pass in the left rib was too powerful, Xie Hui is not such a fast person, the strength was not mastered well, and even the French goalkeeper Lame watched the ball roll out of the bottom line.

"Shao Jiayi's idea is very good, but the technique is a little worse, if this ball is passed by Zheng Lai, this problem will not occur. Of course, not everyone is Zheng Zhi. ”

Lame was about to kick the ball out, only to find Zheng Zhi standing behind Vieira.

That's a change.

Even Le Maire on the sidelines was shocked, has it changed so much?

Lame had no choice but to distribute the ball to Lizarazu on the wing, who attacked from the wing. Without Vieira's scheduling, the style of play is relatively simple, that is, to hand the ball to Pire, who is in front of him, and Pire is thinking about playing with Wiltord, and there is no other routine.

However, Qu Peng followed him very closely this time, although he handed the ball to Wiltord, but after Wiltord passed the ball back, Qu Peng accelerated violently and really stabbed the ball.

Li Yin got the ball, of course, and handed it to Zheng Zhi, Vieira naturally came up, Zheng Zhi returned the ball to Fan Zhiyi, Anelka suddenly pounced, it was actually a flying tackle? !

As soon as Fan Zhiyi kicked the ball out, Anelka's right foot shoveled into Fan Zhiyi's foot, and Fan Zhiyi immediately fell.

"This Anelka, is she sick?!"

"What are you doing here, this is trying to abolish Fan Zhiyi!"

Anelka got a yellow card for his reckless actions, probably venting the anger in the locker room on Fan Zhiyi?

Nobody figured him out.

Fortunately, Fan Zhiyi seemed to be fine, and quickly got up, allowing Anelka to get a yellow card, and he was not injured, which was worth it.

Zheng Zhi drove the ball, still controlled the ball in the backfield, and did not rush forward, but the Frenchman could not give China a chance to control the ball, and still pressed the ball all over the court, trying to bring the Chinese team back into their rhythm.

The Chinese team passed the ball and passed it, but it was still lost. Xu Yunlong's overhead ball was easily won by Lizarazu, and Qu Peng had no chance.

However, the Chinese team's counter-robbery is also very fierce, Qu Peng can't touch the ball at a glance, and he is also unwilling, swishing and pounced on Lizarazu, forcing Lizarazu to send a long pass, and the result was also passed to Li Yin's head, Li Yin went to the middle a little, and the ball fell to Zheng Zhi's feet, Zheng Zhi immediately twisted his body and passed the ball to the back of Karrumbu!

Originally, Karumbu had no pressure on this kind of ball, but when he turned around, the soles of his feet slipped, and he stumbled and almost fell, but fortunately, his right hand was propped up on the turf, and he straightened his body again and ran back, and he was able to catch up with Shao Jiayi, at this time, Shao Jiayi just took advantage of this opportunity to unload the ball, and he still hesitated to deal with it, and the experienced Kalumbu immediately secretly stretched out his left toe to cushion his right calf, and Shao Jiayi didn't even rush up.

The action was not big, but the referee still blew the whistle, and Karembu didn't care, and directly kicked the ball ten meters away, and only then did he look for the referee to shout, thinking that he had not committed a foul?

The German referee didn't give him a chance to quibble, the foul action was very obscene and hidden, what else do you want to do? The referee had to pull out the yellow card and give him some colours.

Don't think that if you look dark, I can't see!

Lemaire on the sidelines couldn't understand it, what was the difference between this and Anelka's behavior just now? Aren't all yellow cards self-inflicted?

However, I thought that the French players would just go crazy, but I didn't expect that two minutes later, when Fan Zhiyi and Anelka jumped in the middle to compete for the top, Fan Zhiyi directly elbowed Anelka's neck, and Anelka fell on the spot.

The referee didn't take out a card, but gave France a set-piece in front.

Fan Zhiyi's mood also seemed to be a little excited.

"Presumably stimulated by Anelka?"

"Or, you're the captain, you're the backfield!"

Unexpectedly, it was Karembu who came to take the penalty piece, Karrumbu directly picked out a positive instep, the ball hit Li Yin's body and bounced back, and then Marley on the right volleyed the goal on the edge of the penalty area, but the ball was not strong enough and did not pose any threat to Ou Chuliang.

Ou Chuliang held the ball in his arms, looked around, and immediately threw the ball up and kicked it to the front right!

Call~

The ball whistled away.

Qu Peng didn't know when he rushed up from the right, which caught the French team's defense off guard in an instant! Only Ou Chuliang saw his running, and then Ou Chuliang directly instigated a counterattack, not handing the ball to other teammates, but directly looking for the best teammate in the counterattack position.

This is too unexpected, the French team was too comfortable before, and seemed to forget that the Chinese team can actually play a quick counterattack, and Qu Peng has a terrifying speed.

As a result, Qu Peng shook off Lizarazu and rushed through the middle line!

"Good shot!"

"Pine!"

"Pine!"

"Qu Pine's speed is fast, he catches up with the ball!"

"The anti-offside position was successful!"

The boy chasing the wind unloaded the ball in front of him, rushed forward with the ball, and rode alone for thousands of miles.

Neither Leboeuf nor Desailly in the middle could catch up with Qu Peng in a short period of time, and they couldn't catch up, they ran all the way back in a straight line, only to watch Qu Peng rush from the right flank to the French team's big penalty area.

Lame in front of the goal has already abandoned the door, but he didn't expect the dignified French goalkeeper to face the single knife of the weak chicken.

The two sides clashed directly on the right side of the big penalty area, and the short hand was hand-to-hand, and Qu Peng chose to get rid of it by deducting the bottom to the right!

However, his movements were so obvious that there was not even a feint, and Lame's huge body slid directly across the turf, while his arms were outstretched, sealing all the vertical space.

As a result, the ball was blocked by Lame, and Qu Pin jumped over Lame.

"Oops!"

"Oops!"

"Oops!"

"This single knife didn't go in!"

"What a pity, what a pity!"

Huang Jianxiang was so excited, he really wanted to cry.

"What a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, I didn't take it! Lizarazu rushed back to get the ball. ”

In the sigh of the fans, the French team escaped and switched from defense to attack, Pire received the ball and immediately transferred the ball in a large area, Ma Lai also secretly rushed past Wu Chengying's side, Wu Chengying was left behind again, Zheng Zhi quickly cut into the bottom line, trying to stop Ma Lai, but Ma Lai chose to knock the ball back to Vieira, who picked up his right leg and almost blasted towards the ball near the penalty spot!

No one stopped this shot!

"Danger!"

"Ouch!"

Boom –

The ball roared between Anelka and Lee and headed straight for the top right corner.

The distance is too short, the speed of the ball is so fast, no matter how fast Ou Chuliang's reaction is, it is useless, although he still pounces with all his strength, but the speed of the ball is faster.

Duang！

The ball actually hit the lower edge of the lintel, and smashed it down directly, just on Ou Chuliang's body, Ou Chuliang was quick with his eyes, and immediately scooped the ball with one hand and took the ball into his arms.

"Lintel! Saved the life of the Chinese team! ”

"Ou Chuliang reacted too quickly and didn't let the tragedy happen. No matter how bad the luck was, it smashed him and bounced into the goal. ”

"Be careful, this time period is quite dangerous, Vieira's shot could have helped the French team score, but it is estimated that the strength was too strong and hit the lower edge of the lintel."

"The Chinese team has a big life, just like a cat, it has nine lives. I counted, and so far in the opening game, the French team has had nine absolute chances, right? There are two penalties alone. ”

The French fans in the stands are really desperate, they can't score goals with such a shot, and even the lintel comes out to participate in a kick, this is not God's instruction, don't you want the Chinese team to win the championship?

After the shock, Horton hurriedly made substitution adjustments, replaced Yang Chen with Qi Hong, strengthened the control of the midfield, and adjusted the formation to 451, 442 It doesn't look safe, but it is still necessary to increase manpower in the midfield to make Zheng Zhi's defense more focused.

Offensive?

If you can have it, you can have it, and if you don't have it, you can't drop it......

"Qi Hong really came up, although there is one less striker, but I feel that Qi Hong can hold the ball, maybe he can change the situation of the battle? But you can't expect too much, and now you still have to defend and not talk about attack. ”

Qi Hong came up, but the French team still didn't make any adjustments, and the original team continued to fight.

Horton's fitness concerns, the Frenchman doesn't look like they're here yet, and with 60 minutes running out, they're still trying to find the next goal.

In the 63rd minute, Anelka passed the ball to Wiltord on the left side, Wiltord passed a more tricky curling ball, Ou Chuliang came out with one hand, Marley made a strong low cross in front of the goal, and Li Weifeng cleared in the chaos. A minute later, Pire passed the ball to Anelka in the box, Anelka carried Fan Zhiyi and turned to hit the goal with his right foot, but Li Weifeng next to him tackled the ball to defuse the danger.

In the 66th minute, Lemaire finally made a substitution, replacing Djokaeff with Carrier. Then he replaced Marais with substitute striker Robert, Wiltord moved to the right and Roberto played on the left.

A minute later, Pire passed the ball to Robert on the left, and Robert smashed the ball in succession to shake off Xu Yunlong and cut into the left side of the penalty area, and immediately volleyed into the near corner of the goal!

Ou Chuliang, who was in excellent position, saved the ball again, Pire followed up with the follow-up shot, and Ou Chuliang contributed another double save!

The ball ended up off the line.

Corner kick.

"After Ou Chuliang played this cup match, he can go abroad with peace of mind. If this kind of performance can't win the main position in Europe, it is not tolerated! ”

"In this Cup, he didn't know how many times he had made two saves in a row, and when he played against Australia, he even contributed three saves in a row."

Carrière took a corner kick and Vieira grabbed the spot in the middle, but the ball did not have the power to top and was caught by Acchulian again.

Ou Chuliang tried to launch a fast attack again, and kicked the ball to Qu Peng again, but unfortunately Qu Peng couldn't rush up this time and was pulled down by Pire!

After driving the ball again, Zheng Zhi took the ball in the middle and pushed it across the halfway line, and Vieira also stopped him with a foul.

After 70 minutes, the fouls of the French team gradually increased, which naturally gave the Chinese team a chance. Zheng Zhi hoisted the ball directly into the back of the French team's penalty area, and the landing point made French goalkeeper Lame quite uncomfortable.

The same goes for the defenders, Desailly found that Lame wanted to come out, but he didn't dare to come out.

As a result, Qi Hong, who was ambushed at the back point, suddenly rushed out and jumped to the top with a straight head!

Da~

Desailly saw a jet-black head on top of the ball.

Duang!

It's so close!

Qi Hong actually pushed the ball to the goalpost and popped off the bottom line.

"Oh my God!"

"Oh my God!"

"Oh my God!"

"Middle Pillar!"

"This ball actually hit the post!"

"Whew~"

"Whew~"

"Whew~"

No one dared to believe his eyes, including Qi Hong himself, from the moment he broke out of the encirclement, he felt that he could put the ball in, but the ghost made the center of the post.

He held his head in both hands and missed the opportunity to be a hero!

Here, the Chinese team just wasted an opportunity to score a great goal, and the French team's attack was also like Sun Wukong stepping on a somersault cloud, Lizarazu directly sent a long pass to Robert, Robert made a low cross from the left, Anelka swept with his left foot when he received it at the near post, but Fan Zhiyi just stretched out his foot to block the ball out of the bottom line.

The French team took a tactical corner, Vieira suddenly pulled from the middle to the back post, and Shao Jiayi actually lost it! However, as soon as the ball fell to Vieira's head, the referee's whistle blew.

Patrick Vieira was offside at the back post and, while his momentary move to get rid of Shao Jia was beautiful, the timing of the rush out was too early.

The Chinese team also immediately returned the color, Wu Chengying won the ball on the left side, Zheng Zhi stepped in to respond, and then after hitting the wall with Shao Jiayi, he resolutely took the ball to the middle and cut inside, Vieira pulled him down very unceremoniously.

Good location, in the middle of the big penalty area, about 38 meters from the goal.

It was already the best set-piece opportunity of the game, and after Zheng Zhi set the ball up, he stretched the assist distance for a long, long time, which meant that he wanted to hit the goal directly. Even if it's so far away, he still has to try a kick.

The French players did not dare to slack off, and Le Maire stood on the sidelines and shouted, instructing his disciples to line up the wall, not to look at the distance, everyone was afraid of Zheng Zhi's elevator ball.

"Zheng Zhi has a chance."

"For him, the distance is not an issue."

Everyone habitually expects Zheng Zhi to be able to kick the ball in.

Zheng Zhi took a deep breath, and then really kicked a lift ball, but the angle was not very ideal, although it hit the goal frame, but Lame still hit the ball with both fists, and then Lizarazu hurriedly cleared the ball with a big foot.

Xu Yunlong got the ball in the backfield and stuffed it to Zheng Zhi again, Zheng Zhi obliquely stuffed Qu Peng, Qu Peng's speed was still very fast, and he immediately made a low cross to the middle of the big penalty area, Qi Hong still played a curling ball under the interference of Vieira!

pity

The ball is ridiculously high.

"It looks like the Chinese team's offense is coming up, and the French team's fitness has dropped."

"The French team also has weak moments!"

After discovering that the Chinese team was fierce, the French team did slow down and began to slow down. The game lasted more than 80 minutes, and no one dared to take any risks.

In case of a sneak attack, you have to say goodbye to the champion.

But if you don't attack, do you want to play a time trial?

The French are certainly not happy, but the Chinese side is definitely fine, although they also missed two chances to score just now, but after all, they took advantage of more advantages and luck.

Even if it is a penalty shootout after extra time, there is no problem, and the mentality of the Chinese team is very good.

Soon, Li Weifeng and Fan Zhiyi also managed to create an offside position, and Wiltord ran fast to no avail, because Anelka in the middle was offside.

The French team's attack was easily disintegrated.

Then Zheng Zhi organized an attack in the backfield and stuffed the ball to Qi Hong, who passed the ball into the French team's penalty area with a very imaginative heel, but unfortunately Yang Chen did not react, and the ball was obtained by Lame.

Le Maire raised his hand and looked at his watch, leaving little time for France to attack, and he still had a substitution on his hand. But he hasn't decided yet, whether to change people?

Continue to intensify the offensive?

Or do you want to prevent the game from going to extra time and keep your spot?

He hesitated, but the French soldiers on the pitch did not.

Pire advanced quickly on the left and stuffed the ball directly to the retreating Anelka, who got the ball and then passed to Carrier, but Carrier was too late in the penalty area in order to get rid of Shao Jiayi, and did not play the power, and Ou Chuliang got the ball.

Patrick Vieira and Zheng Zhi were on their feet at the same time, neither of them could get the ball in attack, and it seemed that both sides avoided them. Ou Chuliang also kicked the ball out with a big foot, the ball fell to the backcourt of the French team, Yang Chen was fouled in the jump, and Leboeuf rolled on the turf several times.

The ball is still possessed by the French team.

But at this time, Horton played the third card, and Su Maozhen appeared on the scene, replacing Yang Chen. He was going to prepare for overtime, and Yang Chen's physical strength was almost exhausted, so it was useless to stay on the field......

Not as many ideas as Le Maire.

With less than two minutes to go, could it be that the French team is so lucky?

Seeing Horton make adjustments, Lemaire realized that the 90 minutes were running out. He looked over to the bench again, but there really wasn't anyone available......

Bear with it, bear with it.

The game resumed, Desailly sent a long pass in the backfield and hit the left side of the Chinese team's big penalty area! Xu Yunlong and Robert rushed together, but were hit by Wiltord's shoulder and lost their balance during the run.

The referee didn't blow the whistle!

"Oops! Dangerous! ”

"Danger!"

I saw Robert unload the ball with his right foot, and his left foot immediately followed the goal, and Ou Chuliang in front of the goal almost teleported to the near post, and when the ball roared and flew in, he hit the ball out with both fists steadily!

Ou Chuliang once again held the goal and did not let Robert complete the stunner!

Fan Zhiyi rushed back to the small penalty area, swept sideways to the ball, and the ball flew out of the right sideline in an instant.

Beep

Beep

Beep......

"It's game over!"

"The game is going to overtime!"

"15 minutes of extra time in each half."

"The game is won by the Golden Ball, either side scores first, and the game ends immediately, which is quite brutal."

"For the players on both sides, 90 minutes of play have already exhausted them, and if you play for another half hour, it will be a battle of will and spirit."

'Now they only have five minutes of rest and the game will resume very quickly.

The players on both sides are constantly rehydrating on the sidelines, while the head coach is constantly wandering between the players, bilibili explaining new tactical content.

Each player had sweat on their foreheads, breathing heavily in the air, and their jerseys had already soaked several times.

The battle is far from over, and they need to continue to fight on the battlefield.

Several players on both sides have already sat on the turf and asked the medical staff to massage their calves, and it is estimated that many are about to cramp. Even the coaches have joined the massage team, after all, the time is limited, the personnel are limited, and the players need to get the fastest relaxation and recovery.

"Shou,"

"It's still defense-oriented,"

"Don't be impulsive!"

"Don't waste your energy easily,"

Horton himself was very excited, and once again popularized his tactical ideas to his disciples.

At no time should you be too indulgent and not give the French team a chance......

Because once scored, Bise ended early, there was no chance of remedial equaliser, the game was won by the Golden Ball, that is, the sudden death game, no one wants to die so suddenly.

Finally, the tactics of the two coaches were so strikingly consistent that even Le Maire did not dare to take any chances. However, he replaced Wiltord with veteran Dugarry.

Soon, the first half of extra time began.

The Chinese team took the lead, but the French team was not in a hurry to press up, guarding in the middle and back, and only after the ball crossed the sideline did they start to mark and defend.

Defensively focused France?

That's a team that can suffocate Brazil at the peak of '98.

Therefore, the opportunities of the Chinese team on the offensive end are not so easy to come out, but fortunately, the players are not impulsive and do not force them to rush in to avoid being cut off and encountering counterattacks.

The ball returned to the backcourt of the Chinese team.

Accidentally, the Chinese team actually had more time to possess the ball?

However, Dugarry, who had just come up, was reluctant to play like this, he was quite playful, and Carrière behind him continued to put pressure on China's left side, and the ball was still kicked to the back of the French team.

I didn't expect Su Maozhen, who was lonely, to be able to fight the ball on the heads of Desailly and Leboeuf?

It's a pity that he can only rub the ball into the big penalty area of the French team, and he can't do more.

When it was France's turn to attack, Vieira retreated deep and did not bring up the rhythm, although Dugarry and Robert kept running and pulling to try to create space to receive the ball, but the French team still controlled the ball at the back.

The tactics adopted by the Chinese team are also to stick to the middle and back, and do not participate in the scramble in the front.

The two sides played very well.

But the French strikers were not willing to be lonely and retreated one after another, they wanted the ball to attack. Robert received a pass from Piret on the left side, and approached Xu Yunlong with small steps in a row, Xu Yunlong retreated all the way, not daring to rashly kick, but Li Yin ran over, and Robert suddenly passed the ball horizontally to Pire, who cut in the middle!

As soon as Pire stopped the ball, Zheng Zhi rushed over, Pire didn't even have time to make a move, Zheng Zhi's right foot swept up fiercely, and the ball was swept directly to the ground!

Pierre lay on the turf and instantly cried and called his father and mother.

It's so ruthless, Zheng Zhi's positive kick.

You don't know if he did it on purpose......

The referee only ran over and verbally warned Zheng Zhi, but Vieira was not satisfied, trotted over and beeped with the referee for a while, but the referee still upheld the original decision and gave the French team a free kick in front.

Carrière came to take the free-kick, but the wall blocked the angle, and the ball he kicked directly hit the wall, Su Maozhen rushed out to control the ball, and immediately distributed to the right side.

After Qu Peng took the ball, he still bravely walked up, but the speed was obviously slow, and he felt a lot softer, and finally the ball was destroyed by Pire out of the sideline.

I really can't afford to make any more awesome attacks......

Now only Su Maozhen and Qu Pin are actually cruising in the midfield, and everyone else has joined the defensive army.

"It seems that the physical fitness of the Chinese team is not good, and it has been defending passively for so long, and the physical consumption is indeed greater than that of France."

Zheng Zhi controlled the ball in the backcourt and did not attack. However, the range of movement is very large, connecting the middle and back. The three French strikers still tried to grab the ball, but found that none of the guys at the back came up.

I ran away in vain, and I couldn't grab it.

Seeing this, Anelka suddenly yelled in front, obviously he was not satisfied with the attitude of his teammates.

Le Maire was also shouting on the sidelines, how can we not be united at this time? Vieira and the others eventually came up, but they were just for show, and they didn't fight hard.

It was Zheng Zhi who saw the loophole in the backfield of the French team and stuffed a ball behind him, but unfortunately Su Maozhen did not fail to understand Zheng Zhi's intention and let the ball fall into the hands of Lame.

The veteran Dugarry ran back to the half court to ask for the ball, turned around and faced Shao Jiayi, but with his physical advantage, he threw Shao Jiayi away as soon as Cruyff turned around!

Then Du Garry continued to rush to Wu Chengying, the left side of Wu Chengying's defense in this game couldn't withstand it at all, and it was not easy for him to hold on until now.

Du Garry also knew that Wu Chengying couldn't fight against him alone, so he simply rushed over with a ball.

But Zheng Zhi's brisk figure floated in and broke the ball.

Wu Chengying is not his opponent, but Zheng Zhi, who is still full of physical energy, can, he passed the ball back to Li Weifeng steadily, and then ran forward more than six meters to catch the ball again.

As long as he is there, he can take care of the central midfield and not get into chaos.

Carrière cut over, but was stuffed behind by Zheng Zhi, Shao Jiayi got the ball, Zheng Zhi ran forward more than three meters, and once again welcomed the ball, he saw Qu Peng trying to rush up on the right side, and immediately transferred the ball. Lizarazu and Qu Peng touched the ball almost at the same time, but they also fell to both sides almost at the same time.

Although the referee didn't blow the whistle, neither of them got up.

As a result, both men raised their right hands at the same time.

Cramps!

I played nearly 100 minutes of the game, and I couldn't bear it.

The game had to be temporarily interrupted to deal with the problems of the two guys, and the players of both sides also took advantage of this time to go off the field to rehydrate.

It took nearly a minute before the game resumed, and finally Qu Peng threw the ball out of the French team's bottom line, giving the ball to France.

But since then, the pace has been even slower, and even the waves can't be smashed.

At the end of the first half, the score was still 0:0.

"The final is nameless, the final is nameless."

"After 105 minutes, the score was still 0:0."

Zhang Lu sighed helplessly, "It's hard to score a goal." ”

"What does that mean, I think the game will end up going to a penalty shootout? Tight nerves last for 120 minutes. ”

"The two sides directly exchanged halves, there was no break."

It's miserable.

Horton stood on the sidelines with his hands on his hips, his brow furrowed. At this time, they can only be in a hurry, the substitution quota has long been gone, and there is no tactic to speak of, and now the disciples can only fight with the French for willpower and spiritual attributes.

His face was covered with sweat, but he didn't raise his hand to wipe it.

The camera moved back and forth on Zheng Zhi's face, but there was no trace of anxiety on the face of the Inter midfielder, but the midfielder gathered everyone together.

"Come on, come on!"

"Hold on to the end!"

"Hold every inch!"

The Frenchman kicked off, Anelka still wanted to attack, and after kicking the ball to Dugarry, he rushed up, and Dugarry was also very face-saving and immediately passed the ball forward.

Although in the dressing room, he advised Le Maire to withdraw his penalty, but now they are comrades playing side by side.

However, his pass, which he took for granted, could not reach Anelka's feet, and Zheng Zhi broke off halfway. The two of them want to tear apart the defense of the Chinese team, but it is too simple.

Anelka wanted to rush back to grab it, but Zheng Zhi kicked the ball directly back to Ou Chuliang.

You grab it, right?

If you can grab it.

And Zheng Zhi drove to the left again, picked up the ball again, played more and less, it was still very easy, and his teammates in other positions in the midfield were very close, and so was Qi Hong.

With the local passing and receiving cooperation, the Chinese team is still very calm.

Soon, the first three minutes passed. There is not much to do on either side of the French side to tear apart the opponent's defense, and many times, the ball passes through the opponent's half court and does not know where to pass the ball. Many people are like a car that has run out of gas, and it can't run anymore, and it's just struggling to support.

It wasn't until the 112th minute that the French team tore a gap on the right side, and Dugarry was bold, using Wu Chengying's body as a cover, and forcibly overtook on the outside line, making Zheng Zhi on the other side helpless. After bursting through, Dugarry opted to pass the ball to the back post. Anelka drew fire in the middle and Robert flanked at the back post, but Fan Zhiyi sensed the hole and pulled the ball out of the touchline before Robert.

Piret tried to throw a depth charge on the touchline, but he found that the strength of his arms seemed to be affected, and he failed to throw the ball over his team-mate's head, and was pushed out by Xu Yunlong in the front of the penalty area.

After Qu Peng took the ball, he couldn't rush anymore. Fortunately, Zheng Zhi still appeared nearby in time and took the initiative to receive the ball.

Unexpectedly, Carrier pounced from the left and wanted to sneak attack Zheng Zhi. However, Zheng Zhi could not have such a blind corner, and when Carrier came over, he swept his right foot in a dashing manner and flicked the ball to the left front.

When he noticed Carrier, he saw Shao Jiayi's position.

Carrière wanted to take Zheng Zhi's army, but he didn't expect to be countered by Zheng Zhi! After Shao Jiayi got the ball, there was an empty space in front of him.

He no longer has the physical strength to grit his teeth and rush forward, Qi Hong's physical fitness is still very sufficient, and he quickly stepped forward to answer, although Vieira came up in time, Qi Hong and Shao Jiayi successfully hit the wall.

"What a chance!"

"Chance!"

Shao Jiayi quickly rushed to the backfield of the French team with the ball, forming a two-on-four, Su Maozhen dragged the two central defenders of the French team in the middle, and let Shao Jiayi proudly take it to continue to advance rapidly, seeing that Karenbu was about to rush to him, Shao Jiayi had no other way, so he simply hit the goal with his left foot.

Dada~

There was no strength, and the ball bounced twice on the turf and rolled slowly towards Lame. Lamei didn't even use his hands to pick it up, just a big foot, and hit a large empty area behind Shao Jia's body.

"I don't have the strength!"

"It's too bad, Shao Jiayi didn't come back, Lamei directly launched a long pass and fast attack!"

Dugari ran back quickly, picked up his left foot to unload the ball, Wu Chengying quickly pounced behind him, but Dugari gently picked the ball again, and the ball flew high in an instant, bypassing Wu Chengying!

"Not good!"

"Wu Chengying!"

Lost again.

Zheng Zhi had to make up again, but Carrier inserted it from the side very tacitly, Dugari stuffed the ball forward in time, and Carrier vigorously pumped into the Chinese team's big penalty area!

In the middle, Anelka was originally caught by Fan Zhiyi and Li Weifeng outside the big penalty area, and he couldn't rush in. But with a flash of inspiration, a sudden brake, suddenly changed direction to the right, and rushed over from Li Weifeng's right side!

In this kind of direct hand-to-hand combat, the defender is definitely not as flexible as the striker. Seeing that he was about to miss the ball, Anelka opted for a tackle! With all his strength, his entire back lay almost flat on the turf, and his left foot finally tackled the ball.

The ball flew to the right side of the goal!

But it was also a lack of strength, Ou Chuliang made a flying pounce and steadily pressed the ball on the turf.

Both sides played a beautiful attack, but both ended in regrets.

After the shock, the two sides seemed to have reached a tacit understanding again, and the ink lasted for a few more minutes. The clock was in the last three minutes of extra time.

It's all at this time, and you can only hang it with a long pass, what's the love!

The fans on both sides in the stands were still very nervous, many of them stood up to watch the game, and their tightly clenched fists never relaxed.

"Kill,"

"Let's do it!"

"There's not really going to be a penalty shootout, is it?"

With this situation, how can it not be a penalty shootout?

Both Horton and Lemaire have called their assistant coaches to their side, and it looks like they are going to arrange a penalty shootout......

Horton and Zhu Guanghu were okay, and they quickly reached a unified opinion, while Le Maire frowned, and he really didn't know who to send?

I never thought that it would be a draw with the Chinese team in 120 minutes!

Penalty shootout? Impossible.

But now......

The ball flew around the court, and even the referee's pace slowed down, and it was estimated that he was half tired to death.

"There's no time,"

"It is estimated that after Ou Chuliang kicks the ball out, the overtime will be over."

Sure enough, as soon as Ou Chuliang came out, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game.

Beep

Beep

Beep –

"The brutal penalty shoot-out is still coming."

"After 120 minutes of hard fighting, the final score was 0-0, and although the French team had the advantage most of the time, they failed to score a single goal, and even missed two penalties! Of course, the Chinese team also had a chance, in the second half Qu Peng had a single knife, and Qi Hong had a chance to hit the post, but neither of them scored. ”

"Now, the two sides can only end the battle with a penalty shootout."

"In the penalty shootout, it's a five-to-five situation, and I don't know who will win in the end."

Zhang Lu smiled, "Hehe, I think we are 64, we have an advantage in the penalty shootout, and the two penalties saved by Ou Chuliang will definitely put pressure on the French players." I wonder if Anelka dares to stand on the penalty spot for the third time? ”

Huang Jianxiang also smiled, "That's right, Ou Chuliang may be an accident, haha." ”

The penalty shootout is imminent, but the two are talking and laughing.

On the court, the players on both sides have already walked off the court, sitting, sitting, drinking, and no longer caring about any rules.

Horton sped through the crowd.

"Fan, you're the first, okay?"

Fan Zhiyi, who has been pouring mineral water wildly, nodded bravely, isn't it a penalty? No problem! He won't hesitate and he'll be the first to stand on the penalty spot.

Immediately after, he ran to Shao Jiayi, Su Maozhen and Qi Hong to confirm.

As for the last one? He didn't even bother to ask.

Zheng Zhi was chatting with Ou Chuliang at this time......

Of course, he deliberately chatted with Ou Chuliang, wanting to help Ou Chuliang relax and relax, Ou Chuliang is facing all the opponents alone, and the quality of his performance depends on the goalkeeper.

"Huh,"

"Where's your gum?"

Zheng Zhi found that Ou Chuliang didn't bite into the gum, this is too unscientific, right?

Ou Chuliang smiled slightly, "No need. ”

"Don't worry."

He patted his gloves hard, "I will be more focused without chewing gum!" ”

As early as halftime, he spit out the gum......

People are subject to change, let alone progress? He used to use chewing gum to relieve his spirit and stress, but now that he's stronger, he doesn't need that stuff anymore, he can do it more focused.

"Then I'll be relieved."

……

……

"The French team is still very stable in taking penalties, but the main players are not there, I don't know how it is now. On our side, Fan Zhiyi and Zheng Zhi must be good, and I don't know about the others. It looks like the roster has been drawn up and the referee has already been greeted. Players from both sides have also made their way to the center circle. ”

"The Chinese team takes the penalty first! General Fan is the first to appear! He walked towards the goal. ”

Behind Fan Zhiyi, all the Chinese players stood tightly together, shoulder to shoulder, but many people did not dare to look at Fan Zhiyi.

The young Qu Peng had already turned around, almost shrinking his head into the turf......

Wu Chengying's face was sweating all the time.

Sun Jihai's hand almost broke Li Weifeng's arm.

In fact, it was similar on the French side, with Vieira frowning and squinting at Fan Zhiyi, Leboeuf's face already buried in his teammate's chest......

Fan Zhiyi stood in front of the penalty spot and watched the French goalkeeper Lame jumping around, and his heart was like water.

No matter how much you jump, won't Lao Tzu shoot you down?

This goal must go in!

Just wait for a whistle to blow.

Toot –

He retreated, running.

The inside of the right foot hits the bottom right corner of the goal.

Almost stuck to the turf and got into the goal!

Call!

The stadium boiled instantly, the Chinese team won the flag, and Fan Zhiyi lived up to expectations!

"Well done, Fan Zhiyi!"

"At the feet of Fan Zhiyi, the penalty is not a thing, he resolutely sent the ball into the goal, not allowing the French goalkeeper to take advantage of it!"

Fan Zhiyi raised his right arm and slowly walked back.

"You're weak-hearted, you can't kick in."

Just as Vieira walked by, Fan Zhiyi yelled.

Vieira's shoulders shook visibly......

The first player to make a appearance in the French team was Patrick Vieira, and I couldn't have found a more reliable one.

Ou Chuliang was already standing quietly in front of the goal, staring at Vieira, his heart unfazed.

Vieira, who had been walking all the way, glanced at the goal from a distance, and Ou Chuliang, who was not tall, and soon had an answer in his heart.

He took several deep breaths before he took a step, and at that moment, his steps felt quite heavy.

But he still resolutely picked out his right foot and fired the ball into the top left corner of the goal!

Smack-

Then he saw a speeding figure, stretched out in the air, and his left hand shot the ball he shot, like a beautiful painting in the Louvre......

"Awesome!"

"Awesome!"

"Vieira missed the penalty and Ou Chulian judged it quite accurately, he didn't hesitate to pounce on the top left corner and save it neatly!"

"This is the third time in a row that I have saved a penalty! Ou Chuliang! Today he is the number one nemesis of the French team! ”

"The Chinese team now occupies the initiative!"

“1:0！”

Ou Chuliang has once again become a hero of Chinese fans, but in the eyes of French fans, Ou Chuliang has been killed tens of millions of times with angry eyes! How many penalties were saved?!

Huang Jianxiang shouted in a hoarse voice; "Now, it's Shao Jiayi's turn to play. ＂

"If Shao Jiayi can score this goal, the pressure on the French team will be great."

Shao Jiayi licked his lips, his steps were a little hurried, it could be seen that his mentality was anxious, and at this time, people who could be as calm as Fan Zhiyi and Zheng Zhi almost did not exist.

France's Menlamet will still wave his arms in front of goal, trying to disrupt Shao's shot.

Shao Jiayi didn't want to suffer at the penalty spot for a moment, and he withdrew from the big penalty area line to run.

When the referee's whistle blew, he immediately rushed to the ball.

It was the safest way he thought he could do and he didn't want to be disturbed by the goalkeeper!

Whew-

He pumped the ball out with his left foot and flew into the stands.

"This ......"

"Alas, so nervous!"

"Shao Jiayi was under too much pressure, and he couldn't release the pressure on himself."

In the stands, the Chinese fans were silent, but no one opened their mouths to scold Shao Jiayi......

Shao Jiayi was already crying the moment he missed the penalty......

He doesn't want to, he wants to score goals too!

Zheng Zhi stepped forward and hugged him silently for the first time.

Of course, this is not Shao Jiayi's level, usually he directly hits the theoretical dead end, but now this kick is too bad, and the technique is completely deformed.

Of course, there is nothing to say, and it may be the same for someone else.

However, the French side were cheering, and they were too excited to miss a penalty for Shaoga's shot, which meant that if Carrière, who came out in the second game, could score a penalty, they could recover the disadvantage.

Thirty seconds later, their dream came true when Carrier calmly slotted the ball into the bottom left corner of the net, where Acchulian was no longer magical and swooped back.

This time, the French fans finally didn't have the eyes to kill Ou Chuliang.

The two sides returned to the same running line 1:1.

"What happens at the penalty spot, we can never predict...... The next player on the Chinese team is Su Maozhen. Su Maozhen has a big heart, and his grasp should be very high. ”

Su Maozhen took a deep breath, took a very rhythmic step, and halfway through the run, he also deliberately paused for half a second, and then rushed forward to shoot, and Lamei also pounced in the opposite direction.

"Beautiful! 2：１！ The Chinese team took the lead again. ”

"It is said that Su Maozhen is good, in this kind of big scene, he is very stable, he has been in the Manchester United academy!"

'The third appearance in the French team was Wiltord.

As a result, Wiltord also shot the ball in, and the score was equalized again, this time Ouchulian pounced in the right direction, but the ball was too fast and the angle was too tricky, and there was nothing to do.

"The score is 2:2!"

"Qi Hong's fourth appearance!"

Qi Hong stood in front of the penalty spot and deliberately flipped the ball twice. This subtle movement made him look like he wasn't that nervous. If you're too nervous, you may not even be able to play the ball!

Then he took four steps back.

When he ran and shot, his body leaned very low to the left, as if he was going to shoot to the left, but the goalkeeper didn't believe it, thinking that Qi Hong was deliberately confusing him, and he pounced in another direction.

Whoosh –

The ball kicked out by Qi Hong was a spoon!

A spoon in the middle!

"Ah, spoon, the ball is in!"

"He was so bold that he dared to kick a spoon penalty! Is he paying tribute to Zheng Zhi? You're too daring! Ahhh ”

"Qi Hong, you have the guts!"

“3:2！ The race is beyond again! ”

Heh, Zheng Zhi shrugged his shoulders, he was frightened by Qi Hong, he didn't think about kicking the spoon at all, in a game like this, he just wanted to solve the problem with a thunderous goal.

He had to admire Qi Hong......

You know, if this ball is saved, it is estimated that he will be scolded after the game, and at a critical time, he will definitely be sprayed to death if he shows off such footwork. But now success is different.

The fourth appearance in the French squad was ...... Anelka!

"Oh no!"

"Anelka!"

"Anelka dared to stand on the penalty spot for the third time!"

"Admire!"

"Admire!"

"I really admire his courage, who gave him courage? Is it Liang Jingru? Huang Jianxiang blurted out, he didn't know, accidentally he made a classic.

Liang Jingru's courage was released in 2000......

"I still think Ou Chuliang will pounce......"

Anelka walked resolutely to the penalty spot and faced Acchulian for the third time.

He didn't believe that he would lose the third time.

There was a huge burst of laughter from the stands, and it was clear that he was being ridiculed by the Chinese fans.

The corners of Ou Chuliang's mouth curved slightly, and he smiled.

This stubborn young man!

All right

Which side will you shoot this time?

You're so stubborn......

15 seconds later, Ou Chuliang also stubbornly pounced on his right hand!

Da~

His left hand slapped the ball again!

"Ahh

"Pounced again!"

"Ouchulian saved Anelka's penalty for the third time!"

"It's really the fate of three lives and three lives......"

"Do you love and kill each other?"

……

The stands produced the biggest cheers since the start of the game.

Anelka, who has become a tragic figure for the third time, really wants to dig into the ground and escape at this moment, and does not want to stay for a moment.

Tears have flowed out, and hearts are broken.

Allah forsook him.

The result of a missed penalty? It basically means that the fight is over.

"As long as Zheng Zhi kicks the ball in, the game will end early, and there is no need for the fifth player of the French team to play!"

"Steady!"

"Absolutely stable!"

Zheng Zhi walked to the middle and hugged Ou Chuliang.

He said a word close to Ou Chuliang's ear.

"You can be ready to cheer in the centre circle, this is your last game today."

"I promise."

With a leisurely step, Zheng Zhi walked into the big penalty area, put the ball behind the penalty spot, and slowly pulled back the running distance.

There is no superfluous action.

When the beep sounded, Zheng Zhi ran towards the ball.

The inside instep hit a domineering high ball that hung straight into the top left corner of the goal, giving Lame no chance.

"The ball is in!"

"The ball is in!"

"The ball is in!"

“4:2！ The overall score is 4:2! The Chinese team defeated the French team! Won the Confederations Cup in 2001! ”

"We are champions!"

"We are champions!"

In the center of the stadium, the players of the Chinese team hugged wildly, and those guys on the bench also rushed in frantically. Zheng Zhi walked back slowly, and the corners of his mouth finally showed a smile.

He saw that Ou Chuliang had been thrown high into the air by his teammates, and then Horton was not spared, and was forcibly picked up and thrown into the air......

Witnessed by more than 50,000 fans, Chinese football has once again made history by winning the Confederations Cup.
