After the experience of so many competitions, coupled with the additional observation brought by various full-value skills, Cheng Hai discovered the intention of goalkeeper Mane.

Under normal circumstances, free kicks are sealed by the near corner by the human wall and the far corner by the goalkeeper.

But Mane was positioned too close to the midpoint, and his centre of gravity was slightly tilted towards the near corner, giving him the feeling of being ready to pounce on the near corner.

Although Mane's performance is not obvious, Cheng Hai believes that his intuition is correct, and Mane must have been mentally ready to move ahead of time to pounce on the near corner.

Therefore, before the free throw, Cheng Hai was ready to take the far corner.

Of course, this is a bit of a gambling nature.

On the one hand, there is a bet that Mane's center of gravity shifts to the near corner after he sends the ball, and it is too late to pounce on the shot towards the far corner. On the other hand, Cheng Hai is required to kick a shot with good power, speed and angle, with fast ball speed and awkward angle, and go straight to the dead corner.

Otherwise, if Mane didn't pounce on the near corner, Cheng Hai would be equivalent to sending the ball directly into the opponent's arms.

Therefore, although he decided to play the far corner, Cheng Hai must also be well prepared and must kick a shot straight into the top left corner.

In this way, even if he made a mistake, Mane was able to save in time, but he could not save a shot that went straight to the corner.

Also, the arc should be big enough to let the ball fly out of the near end first, allowing Mane to pounce on the near goal.

Then he drew a large arc in the air, staggered past Mane, and flew to the far corner.

This is the most perfect and the probability of scoring the most goals.

Full value of arc skills, I hope that this free throw will not have an accident on the field.

Soon, the wall was lined up, and the referee blew the whistle for a free throw.

Cheng Hai stood four or five meters behind the penalty spot, took a deep breath, and after confirming the height of the human wall and the position of the goalkeeper, he began to run.

All the fans and commentators at the scene and in front of the TV were staring wide-eyed.

Chinese fans naturally hope that Cheng Hai will send the ball in, while Senegalese fans are praying that Cheng Hai will miss the ball.

Under the gaze of countless people at the scene and in front of the TV, Cheng Haizhu ran to the ball, stood with his left foot as a support foot, and pumped his right foot into the middle and lower part of the ball.

The moment Cheng Hai hit the ball, several Senegalese players who lined up the wall also jumped up neatly, trying to block Cheng Hai's free kick.

Then, everyone saw that the ball that was pumped by Cheng Hai rose into the air and flew over the head of Senegalese defender Gueye, who was close to the outermost end of the goal.

The wall failed to block Cheng Hai's free-kick.

Next, it's up to the goalkeeper.

In fact, at the moment when Cheng Hai made a running shot and just touched the ball in the last step, before he saw the ball flying over, goalkeeper Mane had already moved from the far end to the near end.

He predicted that Cheng Hai would play the near corner, so without waiting to see the path of the ball shot by Cheng Hai, he made the decision to move ahead of schedule and pounced on the near corner.

After he took a step, Cheng Hai's kick had already flown over the outermost head of Geye, and it looked like it was about to fly towards the near corner of the goal.

Mane, who had already taken a step to the near end, was overjoyed and was about to jump and pounce on the ball.

Unexpectedly, the next moment he saw that the ball that crossed the head of Gueye crossed a huge arc in the air and flew towards the back point of the goal.

Mane was suddenly startled, and immediately turned around and pounced on the far side. However, the center of gravity of his body was originally rushing to the near end, and he was caught off guard this time, where could he have time to pounce on the center of gravity in the opposite direction?

Then everyone saw that the goalkeeper Mane, who had moved to the near end in advance, suddenly stopped at the midpoint of the goal line, did not move, and turned his head to see Cheng Hai's free kick turned a big corner in the air, and then drilled into the upper left corner of the goal against the far crossbar.

The CCTV CCTV-5 commentator on the commentary seat suddenly jumped up and shouted at the top of his voice:

"Good Ball !!"

"The ball went in, it went in, it went ......"

"Cheng Hai scored a beautiful arc free kick to help the National Olympic team lead Senegal 1-0!"

"Senegal goalkeeper Mane originally pounced on the near end, but who knew that Cheng Hai's ball suddenly made a big turn after crossing the human wall and flew to the far corner of the goal."

"The opposite center of gravity made Mane fail to make a save, so he froze on the goal line and watched the ball fly into the goal."

"Senegal can't hold on, and the national Olympic team should play better in the next game."

As the commentator said, everyone knows how the situation of the game will change after Cheng Hai's free kick is scored.

Therefore, Cheng Hai and his teammates had a crazy celebration. Not only because of the beautiful goal, but also because the next game trend will be more beneficial to the Huaguo Olympic team.

In the end, it was because Cheng Hai slapped referee Clattenburg in the face with a goal: No matter how much you favor Senegal, I can still score goals and eliminate them! You can't stop me from scoring and leading the Chinese team to win and advance to the semi-finals.

Cheng Hai and his teammates celebrated for half a minute before being stopped by Clattenburg under the protest of the Senegalese players and allowing Senegal to open the middle circle.

After the game restarted, the Huaguo team, which had a one-goal lead, naturally retreated the formation in an orderly manner.

Because they are ahead, they have the capital to shrink their defense.

Senegal really had no choice but to press forward in formation and take the initiative to attack.

They are behind in the score, and it is definitely not possible to consume with the Huaguo team. They believe that if they don't attack, the Chinese team can stay at the back until the end of the game.

When Senegal's formation presses up and takes the initiative to attack, they will naturally leave a lot of gaps in the backfield.

And it's also a gap at the U23 level.

For Cheng Hai, this can naturally be used.

However, under the bias of the referee, Cheng Hai's two passes to his teammates were ruled offside, which made Cheng Hai and his teammates extremely dissatisfied.

But because the score was ahead, although everyone was angry, they did not lose their minds and did not go to the referee to argue excessively, which attracted more serious punishments.

If the straight plug doesn't work, Cheng Hai will break through with the ball by himself.

But it is not possible to break through with the ball by yourself, because the Senegalese players fall down as soon as they touch it, and it is often Cheng Hai who suddenly falls down as soon as the opponent makes a slight contact with him in the process of breaking through with the ball, and then Cheng Hai's attack is fouled and suspended by the referee.

On the offensive side, Senegal often fell down with a touch, and then the referee awarded them a free kick in front.

Fortunately, the opponent did not have a free kick master like Cheng Hai, and failed to score several free kicks.

But such a law enforcement environment is really depressing, and the Chinese team played quite frustrating throughout the first half.

However, despite the bias of the referee, Cheng Hai's personal strength is too outstanding, and Senegal is helpless at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends.

Defensively, under Cheng Hai's midfield sweep, Senegal barely shot after hitting the penalty area.

On the offensive side, although some contact referees can favor the opponent, some people who don't even have contact, as well as teammates who collide with the wall, the referee can't be biased.

In the 44th minute before the end of the first half, Cheng Hai and his teammates played such an attack.

It was also Senegal's attack that was cut off, and the Chinese team played a quick counterattack.

But in the process of counterattacking, because he was afraid that the referee would judge offside, Cheng Hai did not directly give Dong Xuesheng, who could actually be countered offside, to successfully form a single knife, but took the ball to the opponent's half.

When he met the opponent's first interceptor near the middle line, Cheng Hai used a human ball to pass the opponent directly, and the referee couldn't award Cheng Hai a foul.

Cheng Hai's speed made the opponent not even have time to foul and intercept.

After breaking through the first opponent and entering the opponent's half, two players on the opposing side blocked Cheng Hai's path.

Cheng Hai did not force a breakthrough, because it would be possible to knock the opponent down in the process of breaking through, and the referee would judge him for a foul and end the attack.

Therefore, when he was about to make contact, Cheng Hai shook his ankle and passed the ball to Cao Yunding, who was following next to him but had no one to defend, and then ran without the ball and went around behind the two players on the other side.

When running without the ball, the opponent naturally can't foul and intercept anymore, and he can't fake Cheng Hai's foul.

Cheng Hai relied on his superhuman speed to go around behind the opponent, and then received the ball from Cao Yunding hitting the wall with the pass about ten meters away from the line of the big penalty area.

Because it was a counterattack, and Dong Xuesheng pulled the run, so at this time, there was only the last central defender Toure left in front of Cheng Hai.

Although there were several opposing players chasing after Cheng Hai, the speed of their running without the ball could not keep up with Cheng Hai's running with the ball, and they could not threaten Cheng Hai for the time being.

But if Cheng Hai is stopped by Toure and delays a little, the opponent's players who return to defense may be in place.

Therefore, Toure did not rush to grab it, but stuck his position while retreating, and stuck Cheng Hai's route into the penalty area to delay Cheng Hai's offensive speed.

However, just when everyone thought that Cheng Hai was going to be forced to slow down or distribute the ball, Cheng Hai flicked the ball to the side during the run, and then suddenly shot about 30 meters away from the goal before Toure could react.

The ball flew into the air and flew past Toure, who was hurrying to block the gun's hole, and it looked like it was about to fly off the line.

However, he made an arc in the air, avoiding a save from goalkeeper Mane, before looping into the frame and flying into the net against the right-hand post.

In the 44th minute of the first half, Cheng Hai scored a brace through a counterattack to help the Huaguo team take a 2-0 lead.

There was no controversy about the goal, and referee Clattenburg could only pinch his nose and finger in the middle circle to signal that the goal was valid.

Cheng Hai and his teammates celebrated warmly, and vented their frustration because of the unfair punishment.

It was the last attack of the first half for both sides.

Not long after the restart, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half.

At halftime, head coach Sun Wei reminded everyone that they must be calm in the second half, not clash with the opposing players and the head coach, avoid being sent off with a red card, and be suspended for the next game.

Cheng Hai, in particular, must not fall into a fight.

If something really excessive, Sun Wei asked the nearby players to stand up and confront the opposing players instead of Cheng Hai, or appeal to the referee.

In short, with a score of 2-0, the probability of the Chinese team advancing is infinitely close to 100%. For the next game, Cheng Hai must not eat a red card.

Other players can resist and counterattack appropriately according to the situation, but they must also be rational and cannot take the initiative to apply for red and yellow cards.

After a 15-minute break, the two sides changed sides and fought again, with Senegal making substitutions, replacing two defenders and two attacking players to strengthen the attack.

The Huaguo team continued to retract in formation, strengthen defense, and play defensive counterattacks.

After the number of attackers came up, coupled with the bias of the referee, Senegal's offensive looked much more ferocious.

In the 53rd minute, Senegal had their best chance on goal since the opening: striker Kaulinbaly ran into the box without the ball, received a wonderful pass from his teammate three or four meters to the right of the penalty spot, and got a chance to shoot from inside the box.

It was a very good open opportunity and there was no interference when Curibari shot at all.

As a result, who knows, such a good opportunity, Curibaly missed the ball, and the ball flew out like a cannonball, but it smashed on the outside of the post and bounced off the bottom line.

The Chinese players and fans breathed a sigh of relief, but Curibari fell to his knees in disbelief, holding his head in his hands, staring at the ball rolling out of the bottom line, with a look of disbelief.

But facts are facts.

There were not many offensive opportunities under Cheng Hai's sweeping and pressing, and he wasted such a good opportunity, whether it was Curry Barry himself, or Senegalese players and fans, they were quite disappointed.

The goal was deflected to affect Senegal's morale to a certain extent, and in the 60th minute, less than ten minutes later, the Chinese team expanded the score again.

It was also a counterattack, but this time it was not Cheng Haijin's goal, nor was it his assist, but it was his attack.

He dribbled the ball to the front court, using his attraction to attract the attention of most of the Senegalese backline, and then distributed the ball to Rao Weihui who was inserted on the side, and then Rao Weihui crossed from the side, and the center forward Dong Xuesheng grabbed the first point in the penalty area and shook his head to score.

The goal was not controversial either, and Clattenburg could only continue to finger the middle circle to signal that the goal was valid.

With a three-goal lead in the 60th minute of the second half, the Huaguo team basically sealed the win.

Of course, because of the referee's favoritism, the next thing is unclear, so head coach Sun Wei did not make a substitution, and still left Cheng Hai on the field to intimidate the opponent's back line and help defend.

Cheng Hai's defensive position, speed, and physical fitness have indeed played a great role in improving the defensive strength of the Huaguo team, which is almost equivalent to one more person playing the game in the Huaguo team.

In U23-level competitions, Cheng Hai averaged more than 16km per game, which is more than double the average distance of players from many teams.

It's really the equivalent of one more person playing.

Therefore, despite Senegal's almost desperate all-out pressure and the unbridled help of the referee, Senegal did not take the penalty until the 82nd minute of the game when striker Konate dribbled into the penalty area.

But the penalty caused a lot of controversy.

Because after Konate dribbled the ball into the penalty area, Li Jianbin, the central defender who tackled the ball on the side, tackled the ball first and then tripped Konat, and he did not make any dangerous moves.

Under normal circumstances, this kind of tackle will not be judged as a foul, but a precise tackle in the penalty area, which is a good ball.

As a result, Clattenburg was biased, so he wanted to give Li Jianbin a foul, awarded Senegal a penalty, and gave Li Jianbin a yellow card.

This made Li Jianbin angry, and he wanted to scold the referee when he got up, but was quickly stopped and pulled away by Zhang Linpeng.

Full-back Wu Xi and midfielder Tang Jiashu stood up to protest to the referee, but neither of them was aggressive to the referee, but only protested from a distance, so that Clattenburg could not show yellow cards to the two.

Of course, such protests will have no effect, and Clattenburg insisted on his own decision.

Wu Xi and Tang Jiashu's protests are just to express that the Chinese people will not blindly accept it, but will still resist.

There was no surprise in the penalty kick, which was sent in by Senegal to make it 1-3.

It was a goal that gave Senegal hope.

With about ten minutes left in the game, they still have hope.

In the next game, Senegal continued to attack aggressively, and with the help of the referee, they got a lot of chances.

However, their shooting skills were not flattering, and there was even a scuffle in the penalty area, when Senegalese player Diam got a chance to face an empty goal, only to have his stab kicked, played limp and was confiscated by goalkeeper Wang Dalei.

Even when Clattenburg gave a full five minutes of stoppage time, Senegal couldn't take their chances to score.

After 5 minutes and 26 seconds of stoppage time, in the deafening boos of the Chinese fans in the audience, Clattenburg finally reluctantly blew the whistle for the end of the game.

After all, the Huaguo team won 3-1 with Cheng Hai's brace and Dong Xuesheng's header under the condition that the referee was extremely biased in favor of the opponent, defeating Senegal to advance to the semifinals.

Senegal's penalty also became the first goal conceded by the Chinese Olympic team since participating in the London Olympics.

After the game, during an interview in the player channel, a reporter asked Cheng Hai about his views on the referee's law enforcement in this game, and Cheng Hai said: "How the referee enforces the law is not evaluated by me alone, but what everyone evaluates in the media after the game, that is my opinion." ”

Cheng Hai did not fire directly, for fear of attracting a ban from the organizing committee.

But head coach Sun Wei doesn't have so many scruples, anyway, the tactics of the Huaguo team revolve around Cheng Hai, and the difference between having a head coach is not very big.

Therefore, Sun Wei bombarded the referee Clattenburg on duty at the post-match press conference, claiming that Clattenburg was Senegal's 12th man on the field, helping Senegal destroy several anti-offside goals of the Chinese team, and successfully created that penalty, allowing the Chinese team to concede a goal for the first time.
