Chapter 481: The Feeling of Bullying Children
The game lasted less than ten minutes, and Zhen Shaolong helped the Chinese team score two goals.
2 to 0!
Under the cheers of the fans, Hogg, who was responsible for defending Zhen Shaolong on the field, was stunned, he stood in place and kept thinking about what happened just now, the other party didn't even stop the ball, he turned around and rushed forward, which also made him have no time to react.
This is also the direct reason why he was shaken away.
Hogg thought carefully and kept thinking, and what had just happened reproduced in his mind continuously, "What's going on?" He didn't make any action when he stopped the ball just now? ”
This is Hogg's conclusion.
He kept thinking about the situation just now, and found that the opponent did not stop the ball, and in the process of completing the turn and sprint, the football happened to be in contact with the surface of the foot, and it was immediately obediently controlled, which is really incredible.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Hogg didn't think he would have believed it.
Generally, players need at least two actions to receive a pass from a teammate and then make a breakthrough, one is to stop the ball, the other is to dribble the ball, and the easiest way is to kick the ball in the direction of rushing up, and then start to accelerate and rush up.
The opponent has only one action - an explosive sprint, and even the most important stopping and ball control are completed in the process of turning and sprinting, which feels very incredible no matter how you think about it.
"How can anyone be so technically good?" Hogg's whole heart was in shock, and he thought of yesterday's opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, where the other party completed a simple program connection with almost impossible movements.
Some people think it's a technology-assisted effect, while others think it's improvisation.
Hogg thinks it's the former.
Now he finds that maybe the other party is really playing alone, relying entirely on his own skills to complete those impossible moves.
Finally.
Hogg recovered from his shock, and he shook his head helplessly, only to notice the glances of his teammates around him.
That's dissatisfaction.
Hogg suddenly understood his teammates' thoughts, and he must have felt that he had not prevented Zhen Shaolong, but he had worked very hard, but the opponent's performance was not according to common sense......
What can I do?
That guy played so well just now, and it was so unreasonable, and if he was a defender, it wouldn't be of much use to defend.
Hogg suddenly felt very depressed, he found a teammate next to him, his eyes still exuding 'blame', and he was suddenly a little annoyed, and yelled at the other party, "If you think I didn't do well, you can try to defend?" ”
That player was Jenkinson at the back.
Jenkins was also not good-tempered, and when he heard Hogg say this, he retorted loudly, "I'll come, I'll come!" ”
"Go to the back!"

New Zealand swapped defenses.
The player next to Zhen Shaolong became Jenkins, Jenkins played for Eagle Bay United in the New Zealand League, and even the players who couldn't go out of New Zealand may be a small compliment to describe it as 'not famous'.
In the New Zealand Olympic team, Jenkins is in the middle of the table, but he is the absolute main player in the team, and his defensive midfield position is lacking.
Speaking of which, Jenkins' defense is definitely not as good as Hogg's.
This is not the case.
Jenkins said that his strength is average, but it is only relative, he is a defensive midfielder, because his skills are very rough, and his ability to insert assists is not strong, but his extremely strong body and excellent physical fitness bring tough defensive ability.
In addition, Hogg's defense is not very strong.
After the game restarted, Jenkins' defense of Zhen Shaolong did not seem to be worse than Hogg, but was much stronger than Hogg, because other teammates took the initiative to assist in defense, which greatly enhanced the targeted defensive effect.
After that, for ten consecutive minutes, Zhen Shaolong didn't get a chance.
New Zealand also took the opportunity to go on the offensive.
New Zealand's style can be described as 'Little Australia', the overall style of play is similar to Australia, whether it is individual ability or skills and tactics, it is Australia's "miniature version", their offensive also adheres to the tough style of the ball, the wing, the middle of the continuous attack, constantly create opportunities for the forward players, the play of the forward players has become particularly important.
New Zealand's forward combination is Killen and Brockie.
Brockie is a young star of Eagle Bay United in New Zealand, there is nothing to say about his strength and experience, he is a support player in the front line, and the accumulation of major tournament experience at the Olympics may be more important than his role.
Killen is the most important thing.
Killen, who plays for Celtic and is another overage player in New Zealand, is at the peak of his career at the age of 27, and with his experience and strength, he is the most dangerous player in New Zealand's frontcourt.
Now Kieren has also shown his ability to threaten.
In just ten minutes, Killen completed two shots in a row, one was a low shot that pressed the line of the penalty area, and the ball rushed up at high speed, making it impossible to react at all, but unfortunately the kick was a little too high, and the ball still flew off the crossbar.
Another time was when he was able to fight for a header in the penalty area, but he couldn't hit the ball, and the football was picked up by the Chinese goalkeeper Qiu Sheng.
Although Killen was not able to find the back of the net, being able to create a continuous threat is a sign of strength in itself.
The game commentators all mentioned seriously, "The defense of the Chinese team must pay attention to Kieren, compared with the young players at the national Olympic level, his strength is strong and experienced, and he is no longer a ...... at the same level."
————
Frontcourt.
Zhen Shaolong was targeted by the New Zealand defense.
The defensive intensity that Zhen Shaolong is facing now is not at the same level as at the beginning, not only Jenkins is defending, but other defenders are also paying attention at any time, he is equivalent to being targeted by the entire back line.
After Zhen Shaolong did not perform for a long time, the outside world began to worry about his performance.
When the Chinese team finished a wave of offensives, the game commentator said, "Zhen Shaolong is too targeted!" ”
"New Zealand have realized the threat of Zhen Shaolong, and their defensive focus has become different throughout the backfield, in the defense just now, there are more defenders on the right side than on the left, and the Chinese team's attack is launched from the left side, which is obviously related to Zhen Shaolong on the right side."
"No one can do anything about this kind of defense, but Zhen Shaolong has attracted so much attention, and the rest of the Chinese team should play a little easier......
on the field.
Zhen Shaolong felt okay.
He's used to being targeted by Premier League teams, and even though New Zealand does the same, there is a big gap in the players' abilities and he doesn't feel too much pressure.
Now that he is being targeted in the eyes, he just runs normally, patiently looking for and waiting for opportunities.
This is all normal.
Zhen Shaolong knows that he relies on opportunities very much, and whether he cooperates with his teammates at other times is not important at all, he doesn't feel that he has not touched the ball for a long time, or he has been targeted for poor performance.
There is nothing related to the two.
When New Zealand attacked, Zhen Shaolong simply stood in the front.
Standing.
Motionless.
When they were in England, when they saw Zhen Shaolong standing still, the opponent would 'get used to it', and their understanding of Zhen Shaolong was like this, and they would often 'rest' on the court.
New Zealand is different.
New Zealand also prepares for the game and studies Zhen Shaolong, but ordinary players don't feel so deeply, they just listen to the coach and listen to the report, how powerful the other party is, and they know very little about the game habits.
Jenkins felt very strange and couldn't help asking, "What are you doing?" Why not move? ”
Zhen Shaolong glanced at Jenkins and gave a vague answer, "Close your eyes and recuperate." ”
"Close your eyes and recuperate? It's ...... game" Jenkins meant that it shouldn't be done in the game, but it occurred to him that the opponent was the world's top star and he was just a young player in the New Zealand league.
All right.
The gap is just too big.
In the face of such a huge gap, how many righteous reasons does he have to remind the other party that it feels weird, like an amateur basketball enthusiast who has the opportunity to stand on the same stage as an NBA star, and also reminds the other party that 'you should be serious in the game'?
"Not qualified!"
When Jenkins felt sad about his insignificance, he heard Zhen Shaolong continue to explain, "Actually, I'm exercising endurance!" ”
“——?”
Zhen Shaolong put on a serious expression, "Can you stand still continuously?" Hard, right? Why don't you try it? ”
Jenkins really tried it, and soon found that it was too difficult, and under the gaze of tens of thousands of fans around him, he stood motionless on the field, and felt weird all over.
Also, it's hard to stand and not understand!
Zhen Shaolong said, "I am practicing, exercising my endurance to the environment, challenging my body and mental feelings, so as to make myself ......"
Jenkins pricked up his ears, it's not that he is better at fooling, the main fact is in front of him, the other party is the world's top star, and he has indeed stood for a long time, and he tried and found that he couldn't stand at all.
That's the difference!
Now the other party is seriously talking about it, standing still is a kind of practice, maybe it is the secret of the other party's success?
When Jenkins kept thinking, there was a sudden change in the backfield, Zheng Zhi broke the ball at the front of the penalty area and stabbed the ball to Zhou Haibing in front.
After Zhou Haibing stopped the ball, he was directly a big foot.
The soccer ball flies high into the field.
Zhen Shaolong turned around and rushed forward quickly the moment the football rushed up, and "Standing Pioneer" brought the best condition, allowing him to exert his extreme explosive power, and also threw Jenkins in place in an instant.
Yes.
Situ.
Jenkins also learned to stand still, motionless and experienced, he even felt that he had entered a mysterious situation, and was rejoicing in the special harvest, when he found that the football flew over.
When he turned his head to look over, he noticed that the other party had already rushed many meters.
"It's too fast!"
Jenkins' reaction was only a second slower, and it was impossible to catch up again, he could almost only watch as Zhen Shaolong unloaded the ball at his feet and continued to rush towards the goal.
Zhen Shaolong's stop consumed time, and Hogg, who quickly retreated, had plenty of time to prepare for defense.
Seeing Zhen Shaolong rushing over with the ball, Hogg hesitated, but still didn't rush directly, past experience told him that in the face of the opponent's breakthrough, it was best to stand in place and wait, and slowly retreat without giving the opponent a chance to rush over.
This is the most conservative approach, but also the most effective.
Hogg clearly knows that he doesn't need to grab the ball, he just needs to limit the opponent, drag it out a little bit, and the opponent will miss the best attacking time, and the defense is equivalent to success.
But......
Hogg forgot what he had just summed up - the other side is not a striker who plays according to common sense!
Zhen Shaolong found that Hogg didn't come forward, and he felt a little weird in his heart, and even had a feeling of 'bullying children', but the other party just didn't come up, and it couldn't be said that he was bullying.
He just glanced at the goal as he ran, and directly swung his right foot high --
Rush into the penalty area, what are you waiting for if you don't shoot?
The next moment.
The soccer ball rushed to the goal!
Hogg couldn't do anything at all, he could only watch the football fly past him, and Split, who was hesitating whether to attack or not, didn't have to continue to worry, because the football rushed directly to his left foot, he was a little slower, and he didn't have time to make a save, so he could only watch the football fly into the goal.
The ball is in!
Three to zero!
When he saw the football fly into the goal, the game commentator was not conservative, he let out a continuous roar, "The ball is in!" Entered! Entered! Three to zero! Zhen Shaolong! Third goal! ”
"God!"
"Zhen Shaolong is simply amazing!"
"In less than 30 minutes, he scored three goals!"
"It's so beautiful! It's so beautiful! Zhen Shaolong! Just now he directly shook off Jenkins and shot directly outside the penalty area without hesitation! The soccer ball hangs in the bottom corner of the goal! ”
"Split didn't even make a ...... save"
Hogg was ignored.
It's no wonder he's ignored, as he doesn't seem to do anything as he does anything while the goal happens, just running to the penalty line and just waiting there to watch the ball fly into the goal, like a stake obstacle rather than a player who can move.
No one paid attention to him at this time.
The whole stadium was filled with shouts from the fans, and the Chinese fans were so excited, they were looking forward to the game, hoping that the Chinese team could beat New Zealand and win the first game of Group C, and they did not expect the game to be easy.
Twenty-seven minutes!
Three goals!
The overall performance of the Chinese team is not bad, and Zhen Shaolong's personal performance is extremely good!
The fans couldn't help but sigh when they cheered, "Zhen Shaolong is amazing!" ”
"It's too easy for him to score goals!"
"We have Zhen Shaolong, a team like New Zealand, there is no chance!"
"I feel that such a Chinese team is not a problem at all to qualify from the group!"
"This game is definitely won!"
“……”
The discussion of the fans can also be heard, the game on the field has brought them great confidence, they are more looking forward to the results of the Chinese team, and they are more eager to see the Chinese team achieve the desired results.
Opposite.
New Zealand doesn't feel very good.
Hogg was blamed again.
If it was just the blame of his teammates, Hogg didn't take it to heart, but this time it was not only his teammates, but even the head coach Jacobus began to be dissatisfied with Hogg.
Jacobus stood on the sidelines, his face full of anger, "What the hell is Hogg doing!" ”
"Why don't you even defend it?"
"This idiot!"
“……”
