Seeing Sonoda Jun release the shovel, Cheng Hai immediately jumped and tried to jump up to avoid Sonoda Jun's shovel foul.

However, in fact, the time from Jun Sonoda to Cheng Hai's jump was extremely short, and even if Cheng Hai reacted, it was still too late.

What's more, Jun Sonoda's goal is not to tackle, but to shovel, and to fight for fouls and put Cheng Hai down, not letting him take the ball to form a single knife.

Jun Sonoda's goal was achieved.

His foot hooked Cheng Hai, causing Cheng Hai to lose his center of gravity in the air and fall down.

Jun Sonoda suddenly felt happy and relieved, feeling that his foul had taken effect.

However, unexpectedly, although Cheng Hai was hooked by Jun Sonoda, he lost his center of gravity and fell forward.

However, Cheng Hai did not fall completely, but staggered to the ground with both hands first, then staggered to the ground, staggered to his feet, chased the ball he had waded out, and walked away.

Cheng Hai's "balance" attribute, which is also as high as 19 points, played a role at this time.

Although the center of gravity was affected by the shovel of Jun Sonoda, Cheng Hai did not fall to the ground completely, but stood up again with both hands and feet, and then caught up with the ball that he had thrown out.

Jun Sonoda's deliberate foul that he thought was effective did not have the effect he expected in the end, and Cheng Hai finally broke through him, caught up with the ball he went out, and formed a single knife.

Although the fullback Yusuke Higa returned to the defense as quickly as possible, in the face of Cheng Hai, who was full of physique, Yusuke Higa's dragging could not stop Cheng Hai's advance with the ball.

The dribbling at 19 points and the physique of 20, as well as the good speed, allowed Cheng Hai to carry the ball to the big penalty area with Yusuke Higa, and did not let the other Japanese players who returned to defend catch up.

After entering the penalty area, Yusuke Higa didn't even dare to foul because he had to be penalized for the foul.

The rest is simple.

Cheng Hai, who is full of physique, resisted Yusuke Higa's tugging and pushing, and played a precise near volley in the face of goalkeeper Andong Junyu.

The ball flew under Anto's armpit and into the Japanese goal against the near post.

In the 22nd minute of the first half, the Huaguo team broke through the opponent's two central defenders by Cheng Hai through a counterattack and scored a low shot into the penalty area to take a 1-0 lead.

The stands suddenly resounded with the excited applause, shouts and screams of all Chinese fans.

On the commentary seat, the commentator of Huaguo CCTV-5 also roared in the loudest voice:

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

"Cheng Hai has scored!"

"Cheng Hai scored the opening goal for the Chinese team!"

"The Huaguo team took a 1-0 lead and took the initiative!"

"After the start of the game, the Japanese team did not shrink its defense like the opponents of the Chinese team in the previous games, but took the initiative to attack aggressively, trying to take the lead in scoring the goal of the Chinese team!"

"But the back line of the Chinese team withstood the Japanese attack and created opportunities for Cheng Hai to counterattack, and finally Cheng Hai counterattacked and gave the Chinese team a 1-0 lead."

"In the next game, the Huaguo team will occupy a certain initiative!"

Indeed, Cheng Hai's goal gave the Chinese team the lead, and the backward Japanese team was naturally a little entangled.

It stands to reason that since they were all fearless in the event of a draw, and now that the score is behind, shouldn't they commit more troops, strengthen the attack, and try to equalize?

But in fact it is not.

Before the Japanese team dared to attack, they just felt that the back line of the Chinese team was not good, and they scored four goals in the group stage.

Therefore, they felt that they could use it to attack the Chinese national team. Even if Cheng Hai can score again, the number of goals scored by one person cannot compare to the number of goals scored by their whole team.

However, in fact, after playing for more than 20 minutes, they found that something was wrong.

The Chinese team that broke into the final was not at all the same thing defensively as the Chinese team they met in the group stage.

After so many games, Cheng Hai first came on the field to help the team take the lead, and then after Cheng Hai went off the field, the Huaguo team had some experience in defense.

You must know that this is a new National Olympic team formed by London-age players, and the group stage with the Japanese team is the first official match of the 89th New National Olympic Games.

Coupled with tactical reasons, it is very normal for the Olympic team to perform poorly in the first group stage.

Now that Cheng Hai has become the captain, changed the order of appearance, increased the playing time, and the national Olympic team has also increased its defensive experience and tacit understanding in the backcourt.

In the case of eight or nine people piled up in the backfield for intensive defense, it is not the Japanese team of Spain and Brazil, and it is not a strange thing that it cannot break through the defense of the Chinese national team.

After more than 20 minutes of the opening game, the Japanese team's confidence was shattered.

And Cheng Hai's goal made them see a huge crisis.

The crisis is not only that they are behind now, but that if they continue to attack as strongly as before, but they can't break the turtle shell of the Chinese team, but are counterattacked by Cheng Hai and score goals, then it will be difficult for them to win.

This Huaguo team, compared with the Huaguo team encountered in the group stage, has improved its strength by more than one notch in terms of mental state and team cooperation.

This made the Japanese players a little entangled.

Not only the players, but even the coach scratched their heads a little, didn't know what to do, and didn't give instructions in time for a while.

This led to some division among the Japanese players on the field.

Naturally, the frontcourt players want to continue to attack, equalize as soon as possible, or even overtake the score. But the backcourt players are more worried about Cheng Hai's counterattack, for fear that they will be attacked by Cheng Hai again, and it will be a little difficult to win after falling behind by two goals.

So, after the game restarted, the situation on the field suddenly changed a lot.

The Japanese team no longer worked together to press the attack, but the front and back courts were a little disjointed, with the frontcourt players attacking aggressively, while there were three or four people in the backcourt who hesitated, not daring to step forward to participate in the attack, but carefully guarding against Cheng Hai's counterattack.

As a result, the Japanese team's frontcourt attackers were insufficient, the offensive threat was greatly reduced, and the defensive pressure of the Chinese team was reduced a lot.

With less pressure on the defense, the frontcourt players will naturally be able to step forward and participate in the attack to a greater extent.

Less than ten minutes after Cheng Hai scored the first goal, in the 30th minute, the Huaguo team played another successful counterattack.

And this time the counterattack, the Huaguo team took advantage of the opportunity when the Japanese focused their defensive attention on Cheng Hai, and the forward Wu Xi and the fullback Lu Wenjun cooperated to dribble to the front.

Knowing that Wu Xi took the ball to the front of the big penalty area, the Japanese players defending Cheng Hai seemed to have just woken up from a dream, and hurriedly rushed over to block Wu Xi's pass.

Unfortunately, they were too slow to react.

Before they could form a siege, Wu Xi made a diagonal pass and sent the ball to the right side of the penalty area.

Lu Wenjun, who was inserted on the side, entered the penalty area and did not hesitate to volley without stopping the ball, and hit a high-quality shot.

The ball flew through the penalty area like a cannonball, avoiding goalkeeper Toshisuke Anto's ten fingers and into the far back of the Japanese goal.

The Japanese team's transitional marking of Cheng Hai was punished in this counterattack by the Chinese team.

Hua Guo took a 2-0 lead.

The fact that the Japanese team was behind by two goals finally came to their senses.

This Chinese team is completely different from the one they easily defeated 4-2 in the group stage.

Looking at the Chinese team from the perspective of the group stage, the Japanese team is afraid that it will lose more and will not have a chance at all.

For the strong Japanese team, even if they are two goals behind, they still have a chance to get back after Cheng Hai goes off the field.

But if you don't unify your tactics, play like before, and score a goal by the Chinese team, then the Japanese team will really die.

Therefore, while the players of the Chinese national team were celebrating, the head coach of the Japanese team finally gave clear instructions for them to shrink their defense and resolutely prevent the Chinese national team from scoring again.

After the game restarted, although Cheng Hai and his teammates wanted to score another goal very much, the Japanese team, which had unified their thinking and tactics, contracted the formation, defended strictly, and never gave the Chinese team any chance.

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 host Huaguo team temporarily led by two goals.

After a 15-minute break, the two sides changed sides and fought again, and the Japanese team still maintained a posture of holding out, defending to the death, and striving not to concede any more goals.

On the side of the Chinese team, although the two-goal lead is very large, the Chinese team still does not dare to be careless in the face of the Japanese team that scored four goals in the group stage.

Therefore, they will have to try to score another goal while Cheng Hai is still on the pitch.

If the Chinese team scores one more goal and leads by three goals, then this final will be basically stable.

Of course, it's not easy to score another goal.

The strength of the Japanese team itself is very strong, and now the whole team is still single-mindedly defending to the death, with the strength of the Chinese team, it is quite difficult to break through the defense line of the Japanese team.

can only hope for Cheng Hai.

But the Japanese also know this, and they really guarded Cheng Hai to the death, and did not give Cheng Hai a chance at all.

In such a situation, the Huaguo team once again sacrificed a chaotic tactic: other players strengthened long-range shots, created chaos in the penalty area, and created opportunities for Cheng Hai.

However, now the Japanese also know this tactic of the Chinese team, and understand what the purpose of the Chinese people is to strengthen the shooting of other players, on the one hand, to strengthen the defense of other Chinese players' shots, and on the other hand, to focus on strengthening the control of the second landing point.

It is still quite difficult for Cheng Hai to grab the second landing point for supplementary shooting.

However, on the football field, sometimes it's not just about strength, it's also about a little luck.

As the host, the Chinese team may have been favored by God today.

In the 67th minute, when the second half had been going on for more than 20 minutes, Cheng Hai's physical fitness was getting worse and worse, and there was little time left on the field, forward Wu Xi caught another opportunity to shoot from outside the penalty area.

Even if there is psychological preparation, but in the case that Cheng Hai must be completely prevented, the Japanese team will not be able to do a drop of water against other Chinese players after all, and will occasionally show gaps.

In addition, the players of the Huaguo team do not want to rush into the penalty area to shoot, the range outside the penalty area is too wide, and occasionally a shot from outside the penalty area can still be done.

It's just that the previous shots didn't create a successful follow-up opportunity for Cheng Hai.

Or even if there was a chance for a second shot, but the Japanese team, which was heavily defended, destroyed the ball before Cheng Hai.

Even if Cheng Hai's off-ball running and grabbing attributes are 20 full value, he is helpless when he is farther away from the landing point than others and is blocked by the opponent's defender.

And this time, luck was on the side of the Chinese team.

Although after Wu Xi completed a shot from outside the penalty area, the ball flew towards the goal, and was saved by goalkeeper Toshiwoo Anto, the second landing point of the ball was a little away from Cheng Hai and was grabbed by the Japanese team's defender Daisuke Suzuki.

Although Cheng Hai's full value of running without the ball and his ability to grab points made his reaction very fast, he was far away from the opponent.

By the time he rushed over, Daisuke Suzuki had already picked up his legs and was ready to kick the ball out of the penalty area with a big kick.

Seeing Daisuke Suzuki's movements, Cheng Hai didn't dare to use his front body to block the ball, in case he was hit in the face, or in the lower body, it was very painful.

Therefore, Cheng Hai jumped in a half-turn during the sprint, and did his best to block the gun's eye as if he were resigned to his fate.

In fact, he didn't expect much.

On the one hand, the probability of this action being able to block the ball is relatively small, and on the other hand, the opponent can even not kick the ball out, as long as he lightly buckles, he can dodge Cheng Hai.

However, Daisuke Suzuki didn't know what to think, maybe he was too nervous, and when Cheng Hai had already jumped and turned his back to him, he didn't smash the ball to dodge Cheng Hai, but continued to use all his strength to hit the ball with one kick.

But what happened next made all the Japanese stunned, and all the Chinese people were ecstatic.

Because the ball itself was saved by goalkeeper Andong Junyou, the trajectory was not very smooth.

Under Cheng Hai's aggressive pressing, Daisuke Suzuki may have been a little nervous, and was originally going to kick the ball out of the sideline.

As a result, he didn't expect that he couldn't eat the kicking part accurately, and the ball he kicked out did not fly to the sideline, but flew straight to Cheng Hai, who had his back to him.

Then, Daisuke Suzuki watched as the ball smashed into the back of Cheng Hai's head, who had already completed the turn in the air, and rebounded towards the goal.

Cheng Hai was also confused.

He didn't expect that he was completely obedient to the fate of the man and half-turned to block the gun's eye, and he really blocked the ball.

The power of the ball cleared by Daisuke Suzuki was very large, and it smashed on the back of Cheng Hai's head, making Cheng Hai dizzy, and he didn't even stand firm when he landed, and almost fell to the ground, and he couldn't see where the ball on the back of his head rebounded for the first time.

Cheng Hai didn't know where the ball bounced, and others naturally knew.

Everyone was stunned to watch Daisuke Suzuki's big foot clear the ball smashed on the back of Cheng Hai's head, and then bounced back to the Japanese team's goal.

Anton Junyou, who had just saved Wu Xi's shot, was getting up from the ground, thinking that Daisuke Suzuki would clear the ball, but he didn't expect that Daisuke Suzuki's ball would hit the back of Cheng Hai's head and bounce back.

Although the ball was not fast and the angle was not tricky, Anton Junwoo was completely unprepared, and was caught off guard and reacted a lot slower.

By the time he reacted and flew to make a save, the ball had already flown into the goal.

His save was useless.

In the 67th minute of the second half, there was a dramatic scene on the field: Japanese defender Daisuke Suzuki did not kick the ball out of the penalty area with a big kick, but smashed it on the back of the head of Cheng Hai, who turned to block the gun's eye, and bounced back to the Japanese team's goal.

Cheng Hai scored a brace with this super balloon and helped the Chinese team take a 3-0 lead.

After being stunned for a second, the Chinese fans in the audience collectively screamed and cheered.

"Damn, did this goal go in?"

"How did you get in? Didn't I see the opposing defender clearing the ball with a big foot? ”

"I saw it! The defender's big foot cleared the siege and smashed on the back of Cheng Hai's head and bounced back to the goal! ”

"Holy! Awesome! This kind of goal can be scored, it seems that God helped us! ”

"Cheng Hai's luck is invincible! The Huaguo team will win! ”

"The champion is ours!"

"We are champions!"

As more and more people joined in the chant of "We are the champions", in the end there was only one voice left on the court.

No one expected that when the second half of the game had been going on for more than 20 minutes and Cheng Hai might not be able to support it and was about to end, Cheng Hai actually scored his second goal and the third goal of the Huaguo team in such a lucky way, helping the Huaguo team take a 3-0 lead.

In fact, this goal was not so much scored by Cheng Hai, but rather given to the Huaguo team by Daisuke Suzuki!

This is the result of Cheng Hai and the Huaguo team's luck!

You know, at this time, it was already the 67th minute of the second half, and it was less than 30 minutes before the end of the game.

The difference of three goals, in such a short period of time, even with the ability of the Japanese team, is absolutely very difficult to recover!

Perhaps, it is really God who wants to give the Chinese people a champion!

In the penalty area, Cheng Hai, who was hit hard by the ball on the back of his head, didn't know that the ball bounced back to the goal after it bounced back from the back of his head until his teammates rushed over to hug him and celebrated excitedly.

The first time Cheng Hai encountered this situation, he also giggled happily and celebrated with his teammates.

They didn't last long, though.

In less than half a minute, the Japanese team protested against their delay, and the referee interfered to end the celebration.

The Japanese are in a hurry.

The disadvantage of falling behind by three goals made them no longer have any confidence, and even the Chinese team had to protest for a little longer to celebrate the goal.

They had to get the time to attack, score goals and equalize.

After the game restarted, the Japanese team completely gave up marking Cheng Hai.

On the one hand, Cheng Hai's physical fitness makes him unable to run, and the threat is almost equal to zero. On the other hand, even if Cheng Hai is a threat, the Japanese team can't care so much.

With three goals behind, they must press the attack on all fronts and try to score as soon as possible.

Time is quite tight for the Japanese team.
