Chapter 75: Bad luck

Although Australian defender Ognovsky pushed around Cheng Hai and wanted to squeeze him away from the top, Cheng Hai's full physique and balance ability still allowed him to easily resist Ognovski's impact and occupy the ball landing point.

Then, the ball fell, and Cheng Hai easily unloaded the ball with a full value of stopping skills, but he was facing away from the attacking direction at this time, and the opposing defender Ognovsky was stuck behind him, making him unable to turn around for a short time.

With Cheng Hai's dribbling technique, in fact, as long as he kicks back and forth twice, it is enough to complete the turn, and then use his full-value Matthews feints to break through.

But that's too slow.

When Cheng Hai broke through like that, the daylily was cold, and the other Australian midfielders had already returned to the defense.

You must know that professional football players, if they sprint back to defense with all their might, they can definitely do it in one second, six or seven meters in one second, and they can run to eight 'nine meters faster.

Therefore, Cheng Hai did not break through slowly, but stopped the ball and kicked it to the middle.

Because it was a counterattack, Deng Zhuoxiang, who was inserted in the middle, was one line faster than the opponent's back waist, and successfully received Cheng Hai's pass.

On Cheng Hai's side, after he passed the ball, he easily completed the turn without the ball, and then used the change of direction and super fast speed and explosiveness to easily shake off Ognovsky and rush to the front of the big penalty area.

At this time, Deng Zhuoxiang, who had been caught up and pulled by the opponent's back, passed the ball over in time and was not destroyed by the opponent's back.

Cheng Hai smoothly received Deng Zhuoxiang's pass at the front of the penalty area, and behind him was the chasing Ognovsky, about 2 meters apart.

On the line of the big penalty area in front of him was the No. 3 central defender Carney, who had just retreated at full speed, and his role was to slow down Cheng Hai's offensive rhythm at this time.

Don't try to block Cheng Hai, as long as Cheng Hai is delayed for half a second, Ognovsky behind Cheng Hai can catch up with him, and together with Carney, form a trap on Cheng Hai.

For Cheng Hai's extraordinary actions, Carney is also mentally prepared.

Anyway, with the information currently known, Cheng Hai will only have one move: Matthews feints.

As long as Cheng Hai pays attention to this move, he can still be stopped.

Then, just when Cheng Hai's body leaned to the right and looked like he was about to break through to the right, although Carney's body also leaned a little to the right, he had enough spare strength, and he felt that Cheng Hai must have used Matthews feints to break through this time, and he was about to break through to the other side.

His move to the right is also a feint, and the center of gravity of his body is actually ready to counterattack to the left and intercept Cheng Hai Matthews' feint.

However, just as he was about to pounce to the left and intercept Cheng Hai to break through from the other side, he was shocked to see that Cheng Hai did not make a Matthews feint at all, but really went directly from the ball to the right and with lightning speed.

Although Cheng Hai only has the trick of Matthews' feint, he still has full acceleration and physique.

He can use his speed and physique, or he can use Matthews feints to trick defenders into losing their center of gravity and then breaking through the opposing side.

The full value of Matthews's feints allows Cheng Hai to use it to the point where he can use it handy.

This time, it was the moment Cheng Hai used this action, he found that Carney's body did not move much, obviously preventing Cheng Hai from this feint, and the real intention was to break through from the other side.

Because the other party was prepared, if Cheng Hai really faked Matthews, I am afraid that he would really hit the muzzle of the gun, and Carney immediately turned around and stopped him.

As a result, Cheng Hai, who had full skills and perfect control ability, immediately gave up Matthews' feints, pushed the ball to the right side of the river, and broke through into the penalty area from the right.

Although Carney's body was on the right side, because his center of gravity was ready to pounce back to the left, he did not intercept Cheng Hai's breakthrough in time.

Although it was blocked, the impact was not great, and it could not be blocked at all for Cheng Hai, who had a full physique.

Cheng Hai easily knocked away Carney, whose center of gravity was in the wrong direction, and entered the penalty area with the ball.

Although Ognovsky behind him had chased Cheng Hai's side at this time, he didn't dare to tackle the ball anymore, because Cheng Hai had already entered the penalty area.

If he makes an inaccurate tackle and causes a foul, he will not only be punished with a penalty, but he may also receive a yellow card.

At the moment when Ognovsky hesitated slightly, Cheng Hai, who dribbled into the penalty area, did not give him time to hesitate.

Cheng Hai reached out to hold Ognovsky's push, and at the same time faced goalkeeper Schwarzer who was guarding the small penalty area, and volleyed into a near corner.

Although Schwarzer immediately fell down and made a save, the ball was too close and the ball went under his armpit and into the goal behind him before he fell.

In just the 6th minute of the opening game, Cheng Hai scored to help the Chinese team lead Australia 1-0, and the Chinese team made a dream start in the final.

When this was a scene that no one expected before the game.

In the semi-finals, the Chinese team 2-1 South Korea advanced with difficulty, and Australia slaughtered Japan 4-0 to easily advance to the final.

Even if the Chinese team can win, I am afraid it will be very difficult to win.

However, no one expected that the Huaguo team would score in the 6th minute of the opening game.

The moment the ball flew into the net, the CCTV-5 commentator on the commentary seat suddenly stood up excitedly and shouted:

"The ball is in!" "The ball is in!"

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

"In the sixth minute, the Chinese team scored a goal."

"It was Cheng Hai who scored the goal!"

"The Chinese team played an efficient counterattack, and finally Cheng Hai sent the ball into the Australian goal!"

"The Chinese team has made a dream start!"

In the stands, in front of the TV, countless overseas Chinese fans also fell into boiling in an instant, and everyone applauded, cheered, roared, and screamed with the greatest strength to vent their excitement.

This goal greatly relieved the tension in the hearts of the fans, and everyone talked excitedly after the celebration:

"Damn, the game has just started, Cheng Hai scored, it's awesome!"

"I thought it would be so difficult for Australia to play, it made me nervous, but I didn't expect that it was only six minutes into the game, and we were leading the goal!"

"That's not what Australia looks like!"

"Yes! Now I can finally rest assured. Regardless of the final result, at least now we are ahead and it's time for Australia to be anxious. ”

Indeed, after beating Japan 4-0 and beating South Korea 2-1 in the future, the Australian players were confident enough to beat Cheng Hai's Huaguo team in the final.

Even if Cheng Hai is super capable and can score one or two goals, in the end, they will still rely on the crushing of their overall strength and easily defeat the Huaguo team to win the championship.

When the game started, the Australian players were relaxed.

Unexpectedly, the game had only started for six minutes, and some people had not yet adapted to the atmosphere of the final, and they conceded goals.

And it was Cheng Hai who was repeatedly told by the head coach to stare at him before the game, but Cheng Hai still scored the goal.

Everyone expected to be scored by the Huaguo team and Cheng Hai, but they didn't expect to lose the goal in the first 6 minutes, let alone the Huaguo team to score first, and it was them who fell behind.

They became chasers.

It's depressing.

Still, the game has to go on.

After Cheng Hai and his teammates celebrated for more than 20 seconds, the Australian players, who were behind the score and were a little anxious, couldn't help but complain to the referee, complaining that the Chinese team was celebrating for too long and was suspected of delaying time.

With the intervention of the referee, the Chinese team finally ended the celebration and returned to their own half, waiting for Australia to open the circle.

After the game restarted, the Australian formation, who were eager to equalize, pressed even higher and wanted to score a goal as soon as possible.

Australia's overall strength is undoubted, whether it is technical level, physical fitness, and teamwork, it is much better than the Chinese team.

As a result, even though the Chinese team shrank the formation and defended extremely intensively, it still gave Australia a lot of shooting opportunities.

However, unlike what everyone expected for Australia to be in form, as if they had run out of luck in the semi-finals, they were scoreless and slow to score.

In the 8th minute, just two or two minutes after Cheng Hai's goal, Australia hit the attack outside the line of the big penalty area, and the No. 10 striker Colwill pulled his foot outside the line of the big penalty area and shot angrily, and the ball flew through the penalty area like a cannonball and flew towards the goal.

Although goalkeeper Yang Zhi made a save, it seemed that he was out of reach, and he was afraid that he would not be able to touch the ball.

Just when many Australian fans in the stands stood up and were about to celebrate the goal, they only heard a "bang", and the powerful ball smashed on the post, smashing the goal and smashing the goal, which shows how powerful Colwill's shot is.

However, the power was not used because the ball did not go in.

The ball hit the post and bounced back into the box, before being kicked out of the box by a defender from the Chinese team.

Colwell put his head in his hands and looked up to the sky with a long sigh, feeling that he was unlucky.

But he didn't expect that this shot at the post was just a microcosm of Australia's game.

Not long after, in the 13th minute, the Australian wing broke through the bottom cross, and no one in the middle failed to hit the ball, and the ball fell to the back point, and was grabbed by the Australian full-back Valery.

Although the ball falls a little low to the back post, you can still head the ball into the goal with a little lower head.

But Valery didn't know what to think, and instead of heading the ball, he came with a volley, perhaps to show off the explosiveness of his shot.

As a result, this close burst shot made him kick wide.

The ball deflected just wide of the post and slammed into the billboard behind it, startling the photographer behind the billboard, but a close-range shot was wasted by Valery.

Valery also held his head in his hands after completing the shot, looking incredulous, and obviously he also felt that it was a little unbelievable that he had kicked this close shot away.

However, Australia's bad luck is not over.

Although the overall strength of the Huaguo team is biased, it is still difficult to break the attack into the penalty area of the Huaguo team when the Huaguo team shrinks the formation and defends intensively.

Breaking down dense defences is a problem for all teams around the world, even the big ones.

But in the 17th minute, there was a hole in the back of the Chinese team, which was caught by Australian midfielder Mackay and sent the ball to the right side of the penalty spot in the penalty area with a clever pass.

Striker Gary Cahill spotted the gap and was there just in time to follow Mackay's pass and volley into the far corner.

The ball was very good in terms of power and angle, and if nothing else, it should have been able to score in the woodwork.

However, what people didn't expect was that Huaguo goalkeeper Yang Zhi made a world-class save, and he pounced into the far corner almost the moment McKay got up.

Then, before the ball went into the net, his flying save palm was just in place and he used his palm to block the ball off the post.

The Australian players, who were already preparing to celebrate their goals, looked at Yang Zhi, who stood up and was surrounded by his teammates, with a hellish expression.

The shot just now, even with world-class goalkeepers like Cech, Buffon and Casillas, is difficult to save.

Unexpectedly, the goalkeeper of the Huaguo team played extraordinarily and made a world-class save to keep the ball out.

Not only that, but after a series of wasted chances, Australia were hit hard again in the 27th minute.

This time, the Chinese team's backfield big foot long pass matched Cheng Hai's speed and running position, so that Australia's two central defenders couldn't even retreat, and Cheng Hai overtook him with speed and running.

At the front of the penalty area, Cheng Hai faced the attacking goalkeeper Schwarzer, did not stop the ball, and directly stretched out his foot to cushion the ball that fell in the air, and the ball rebounded again, passed over Schwarzer's head, and flew towards the goal.

Cheng Hai came up with a non-stop volley in the middle of the run, and hoisted the ball over the goalkeeper's head.

The defender Ognovsky, who was struggling to chase back, rushed over from Cheng Hai and Schwarzer in an instant, wanting to come to the goal line to save the danger.

However, the ball eventually fell into the net before he could try to clear the ball with his inverted foot.

Ognovski didn't kick anything, and fell into the goal with the ball.

In the 27th minute of the first half, Cheng Hai scored a brace to expand the score to 2-0, and the Huaguo team was even more excited.

The Australian players, on the other hand, looked a little lost.

Whether in terms of possession, shots on goal and shots on target, Australia has a significant lead over the Chinese team.

As a result, they are now behind and two goals behind, which cannot but be frustrating and demoralizing.

The Australian head coach walked around the sidelines, but there was nothing he could do.

The tactics are appropriate, the starters sent are also the strongest, and the shooting opportunities created are not good, but there is no way to score, and he is helpless, so he can only do it in a hurry.

In contrast, Cheng Hai's superb archery skills are even more enviable and desperate.

However, no matter how anxious you are, the game has to go on like this.

Australia may have really run out of luck in the semi-final 4-0 Japan game, which was a goalless game no matter how it was played.

In the 34th minute, Australia won a free kick from the edge of the field.

The penalty taker sent the ball into the box and midfielder Jedinak grabbed the first point and flicked it over the crossbar.

In the 41st minute, Australia played a delicate combination up front, sending the ball into the gap in the penalty area, and Holman received the ball and completed the shot by full-back Holman who cut inside on the wing.

As a result, the Huaguo defender Dewey, who rushed over next to him, blocked the ball from the bottom line with a timely flying body and blocked the ball from the bottom line.

Just before half-time, Australia had another chance to shoot on the edge of the box, only for full-back Wilksey, who had provided the assist on the wing, to kick the ball off the crossbar.

Throughout the first half, Australia made no less than 10 shots on goal, which is quite high and quite impressive.

In many games, the two teams may not be able to create ten shots on goal in the whole game, and Australia can have so many shots in the half, it can indeed be seen that Australia's overall strength is much higher than that of the Chinese team.

Moreover, these ten shots were not exactly wave shots, and three of them hit the goal frame, but they were either blocked or saved by the goalkeeper, and twice hit the post, and finally did not score a single goal.

The Kangaroos had terrible luck in today's final.

On the other hand, the Chinese team only had three successful counterattacks in the entire first half to form a shot, but they scored two goals.

In contrast, it seems that Australia is riddled with bad luck.

One minute of stoppage time, the referee blew the whistle at the end of the first half, and the two sides went into the break with a score of 2-0, and the Chinese team temporarily led Australia by two goals.

During the intermission, commentators and guests from TV stations around the world praised Cheng Hai's archery skills and strength, which is indeed the world's top.

However, everyone also sighed at Australia's poor luck, and many people lamented that Australia must have used up its luck in the semi-finals.

Otherwise, it would not have beaten Japan 4-0 in the semi-finals, and it would not have been possible to score a single goal with so many shots on goal in the final.

This is so abnormal.

It can only be down to luck.

After a 15-minute break, the two sides changed sides and fought again, and Australia, which was two goals behind, had no choice but to continue to press forward in formation and bombard the Chinese team's penalty area.

The Huaguo team made a substitution adjustment, replacing Zhao Xuri, who had received a yellow card in the first half for defense, and replaced Zhou Haibin with Zheng Zhi in the double back, continuing to play defensive counterattacks, generally stabilizing defense, while waiting for the opportunity to see if he could get another chance to counterattack, and Cheng Hai scored a goal to completely kill the game.
