Chapter 480: Schadenfreude and Blame

"Zhen Shaolong! Zhen Shaolong! ”

"The game has just begun, the Chinese team launched the first wave of offensive, Zhen Shaolong touched the ball for the first time, and sent the ball into the gate of New Zealand!"

"This ball god!"

"Zhen Shaolong is outside the penalty area, kicking out a backward hanging shot, it's really accurate!"

"New Zealand goalkeeper Slip obviously didn't expect that Zhen Shaolong could shoot so far away with his back to the goal, his reaction was slower, and he could only watch the football fly into the net!"

"1 to 0!"

"Zhen Shaolong helped the Chinese team and led New Zealand at the beginning!"

In the shouts of the game commentators, the surrounding stands have been filled with excited cheers, and every Chinese fan is shouting excitedly, even if they are looking forward to winning, they did not expect the Chinese team to lead so early, and the fans only feel very happy.

The results of Chinese football in recent years are too sad!

Many fans are not hopeful about the results of the national team, and they will be very pessimistic, and even begin to evolve into sarcasm and schadenfreude, but it is undeniable that every Chinese fan hopes for the good results of the national team.

The Chinese Olympic team on the field pinned the hopes and expectations of many fans.

Now the fans see what they want to see.

The game had just begun, Zhen Shaolong helped the Chinese team lead New Zealand, and the fans in the stands were excited to vent, which also made the anger of the stadium reach a small climax.

on the field.

The players of the national Olympic team are also celebrating.

Dong Fangbei ran over and clapped his hands with Zhen Shaolong, and couldn't help but admire, "That kind of ball can be scored, amazing!" ”

"Thank you!"

Other teammates ran over and kept praising the goal, and they could only admire Zhen Shaolong's footwork.

Zhen Shaolong just smiled and clapped his hands with his teammates who came over in celebration, and didn't show too much excitement.

Because...... It's so easy to score goals!

It's the kind of ball that is easy for him, the opponent seems to 'let him go' to shoot, and there is nothing strange about scoring goals, and he feels very little sense of accomplishment in his heart and takes scoring goals for granted.

Actually, the goal was very meaningful.

After the game commentator announced the goal, he said, "This is the first goal of the Chinese team in the Olympic arena!" It is also the first goal of the Chinese team in the World Series finals (Olympic Games, World Cup)! ”

"Zhen Shaolong!"

"He scored his first goal for the national team in an international A-level competition!"

"This moment is very memorable!"

The first one is definitely very meaningful, the commentators are talking about all kinds of 'firsts', a lot of journalists, fans are also talking about it, and it is certain that after the game, the goal will definitely be covered and given all kinds of meaning.

Meantime.

New Zealand doesn't feel good.

Most of the players in New Zealand couldn't believe what was happening, the game had just begun, and the Chinese team played the first wave of offensive and completed the first goal, and it was the opponent's No. 13 who scored.

Zhen Shaolong!

It's also amazing!

Even if the opponent is considered to be the 'most efficient striker in the world', it is really amazing, the goal just now is incredible, the opponent is facing away from the outside of the penalty area, and can actually hang the ball backwards towards the goal.

Goalkeeper Slipp was a little confused.

Slip's feelings were the same as described by the game commentator, he didn't expect Zhen Shaolong to be able to complete a backward shot in that position, and when the football flew into the air, he thought it would be a pass to the penalty area, or a direct kick out of bounds.

In short, shots?

How can it be!

By the time the football had flown into the goal, he thought it was incredible.

The same goes for Hogg.

Hogg's face was full of disbelief when he found out that the opponent had kicked the ball into the goal and that his defense was meaningless, and he finally understood why Nelson would say "never let him catch the ball".

Indeed!

It's terrible to be able to kick the barb so accurately with his back to the goal outside the penalty area.

The feelings of other New Zealand players can be described as 'surprised', and they are all shocked by Zhen Shaolong's goal.

The only one is Nielsen.

Nelson just felt happy...... Yes, it's very happy, he knows he shouldn't be like this, but he just can't help but feel this way.

The reasons for this are complex.

First, New Zealand is the first time to enter the Olympics and ranks at the bottom of many teams.

Nelson, who returned to the team as an overage player, did not think that New Zealand could achieve any good results, and it was almost like a dream to qualify from the group, and it was very, very difficult to beat the Chinese team, which was considered to be the second from the bottom of the group.

Nielsen doesn't count on results.

Second, after Nelson returned to the team, he found that unlike what he imagined, he did not have much prestige in the team, and the most prestigious thing in the team was that Hogg, the absolute main force in the defense.

Hogg is a new generation of talent in New Zealand football, selected for the New Zealand Olympic team at the age of 18, participated in two consecutive World Youth Championships, and has been very consistent, because he is also a young player, the team has been very recognized.

In the New Zealand team, Hogg is the most powerful person under head coach Jacobs.

Nelson was very unconvinced, and there was no good way, thinking about fighting with a young man by himself, it didn't feel interesting, and most of the players in the country were not familiar with him.

Before the game, Nelson was still a little scrappy and wanted to try to do a good job of defense, but when Hogg came to 'scramble' for Zhen Shaolong's defense, Nelson felt very angry and simply ran to the back center back.

Can you?

Here you go!

That's what Nielsen thinks.

Perhaps most people in the same situation will have the same idea as Nelson, and find that Hogg let the opponent easily score the ball the first time he defended, and Nelson even gloated, "Aren't you amazing?" Fighting with me to defend? ”

"How about now? You know it's amazing, right? ”

"Do you still think you're very powerful, very good? You just slow down, I just don't want to defend! ”

When the game resumed, Nelson didn't bother to help, he simply stood at the back of the formation and played the role of a goalkeeper and former scavenger.

Hogg?

He's great, let him go on defense!

Hogg is the vice-captain of the team, he is just an ordinary player, and he will definitely not be able to compete for the vice-captain.

Nielsen has already figured it out.

If at halftime, head coach Jacobs asked, he said the conflict with Hogg, "He said that he could prevent Zhen Shaolong, I can't help it." He still had to defend alone. ”

"I can't control him!"

Right.

That's it!

————

Hogg didn't know that Nelson was gloating, and he knew that he had lost face.

Hogg is still very confident in his age group, he is one of the best centre-backs in the Australian league and has been at the heart of the New Zealand youth team's defence.

Zhen Shaolong's goal just now shocked him, he knew that he was careless, but he didn't want to admit it in his heart, so he began to act according to Nelson's instructions--

Don't let Zhen Shaolong catch the ball.

After the game restarted, Hogg worked hard according to this standard, and he did not badly, using his strong body and good experience to bring a lot of trouble to Zhen Shaolong.

It is almost impossible for a single defender to accomplish the goal of restricting a striker from not having the ball.

Zhen Shaolong didn't run too hard, just ran left and right at the front of the penalty area, and successfully pulled out the ball.

Zhen Shaolong and his teammates are not tacit, but New Zealand's defense is not very good.

After Zhou Haibing lost the ball, he grabbed the ball again, and found that the gap in front of him was immediately a kick, and the football was stopped by Zheng Zhi, who was inserted, and then kicked it diagonally to Zhen Shaolong.

Zhen Shaolong glanced at the penalty area before receiving the ball, and then when the football was close to a one-meter range, he directly opened "Attack", ignored the ball at all, passed Hogg, who was impossible to react, and ran directly to the penalty area line.

And then.

Swing your feet and shoot!

When Zhen Shaolong waved his feet, Hogg had just turned around, and he didn't have time to do anything, and the other New Zealand defenders were more than three meters away from the closest, so it was impossible to do anything at all.

"Bang!"

A head-on volley!

This time, goalkeeper Split reacted, he saw the ball immediately, but when the ball rushed over, he didn't make any moves, because the ball was too fast and the angle was too tricky.

In less than a second, the ball rushed through the penalty area and flew into the near corner against the post.

The ball is in!

————

"Another goal!"

The commentator used the word 'again' to describe the goal, because it was only eight minutes before the goal just now, and less than ten minutes after the game started, Zhen Shaolong had already scored two goals.

Zhen Shaolong pressed the penalty line to complete the shot, and the football flew directly into the near corner! The ball had power and angle, and goalkeeper Split couldn't react! ”

"2 to 0!"

"This opening is too beneficial for the Chinese team! Zhen Shaolong's performance was also too good. Just looking at the two goals just now, you can understand why in the stands, the fans cheered for Zhen Shaolong, even more than the entire team. ”

"He's just amazing!"

Meantime.

The New Zealand players were full of helplessness, they were still looking forward to the game, but they didn't expect to suffer a hellish start.

The opponent's No. 13 found an opportunity to score, and was scored twice by the opponent in less than ten minutes.

How is this game still played?

The eyes of those frontcourt players all hit Hogg, obviously dissatisfied and complaining.

Many players are well aware that Jacobs handed over the task of defending Zhen Shaolong to the veteran Nelson, but Hogg took the initiative to 'take on' the work, in fact, squeezing out Nelson's work.

If Hogg can successfully complete the defense, of course, it will not be a big deal.

They'll also think he's done a good job.

Now it's different.

The opponent scored two goals in ten minutes, who else can they blame if they don't blame Hogg?
