Chapter 174: The Role of the Longboard
() "Brother Jixiang" guessed correctly, as soon as the second half began, the South Korean team infiltrated the National Olympic penalty area along the line of Sun Xiang.
However, the Korean team did not make substitutions, so Tang Wu was not so hard to deal with. After these days of cooperation, Tang Wu already has a preliminary "prediction" of Zhang Baofeng, Zhang Yaokun and others.
In other words, before Tang Wu commanded them to defend against people, he would add his reactions, personal abilities and psychological qualities, so that his defense would be more secure.
In the 51st minute, Park Ji-sung made a cross from the right side, Kim Jong-woo's header was ferried, and Cho Jae-jin's shot from a small angle on the right side of the penalty area was embraced by Tang Wuwen.
Three minutes later, it was Park Ji-sung's change of direction that broke through. But this time, Tang didn't let Park Ji-sung's cross go over his head, but struck in time to knock the ball out of the box with a single fist.
In the next few attacks, the South Korean team handed the ball to Park Ji-sung every time. PSV Eindhoven's full-back did not live up to the expectations of his teammates, frequently relying on his speed and body to force Sun Xiang on the wing.
"South Korea has been playing on our right side these times!" Wang Jianying saw the clue.
"Sun Xiang's body is too thin, and it is normal to be forcibly eaten." Shen Xiangfu nodded in response, "Wang Sheng, you go warm up!" ”
Seeing Wang Sheng jogging on the sidelines in his training uniform, Shen Xiangfu snorted lightly: "Hmph, you want to beat our shortcomings?" It's not that easy! ”
The national team made the opposite decision with the South Korean team during the 15-minute break.
South Korea thinks that it is enough to play the shortcomings of the National Olympic Games, but the National Olympic Games thinks that there is not much water in wooden barrels, and it depends on how long the longboard is!
For example, if you tilt a barrel of different lengths towards the long board, slowly lower it. In this way, as long as the longboard is long enough, the barrel can hold more water.
In a short period of time, there is no way to improve the overall strength and his own shortcomings, but Tang Wu's "long board" is there, and it would be a pity not to use it.
Therefore, Shen Xiangfu decided to focus on defense in the second half, and at the same time, he also handed over the "control" of the three central defenders to Tang Wu.
Sun Xiang on the field gritted his teeth and pulled Park Ji-sung's clothes with his hands again and again. But every time he was either broken free by Park Ji-sung, or dragged a few meters along with people.
Just when Wang Sheng was jogging along the side and was about to finish the warm-up, Park Ji-sung, who broke through with the ball, suddenly received a signal from his teammates.
This time he didn't go down, but directly took a long pass.
Looking at the ball flying in the air, Tang Wu shouted and abandoned the door.
Zhang Yaofeng and the others all gave up their positions, allowing Tang Wu to run all the way behind Li Tianxiu.
Tang Wu, who attacked and picked up the ball this time, was no exception, first jumped high and stretched out his arms, and then raised his left leg slightly, with his knee facing outward.
This trick is very useful, in the Premier League, Tang Wu just raised his knee when jumping, and knocked away a lot of strikers who earned the top with him.
It not only protects itself, but also "hurts" others, which is simply killing two birds with one stone.
But this time Li Tianxiu seemed to have been prepared, facing the menacing Tang Wu, Li Tianxiu turned sideways and jumped up desperately regardless of it, it didn't look like he was going to earn the ball, but more like going to top the air.
Oh, don't do it!
Tang Wu snorted condescendingly, and took the ball off with both hands.
However, just when Tang Wu was about to hold the ball and delay time after landing, a whistle of "beep" sounded, and the referee of the Japanese team stopped the game.
"Huh? A South Korean player fell in the penalty area! Huang Jianxiang was the first to call out. Is it a penalty? ”
There was already chaos on the field, and it seemed that even Tang Wu didn't know what the referee's whistle meant.
"It's not a penalty." Huang Jianxiang breathed a sigh of relief, "Is that Li Tianxiu's fake fall?" ”
"It doesn't seem to be!" Huang Jianxiang immediately denied his speculation, "Li Tianxiu is still on the ground, looking very painful, as if he was injured just while fighting for a header. ”
After guessing that the answers were incorrect, Huang Jianxiang finally understood what the referee's decision was.
"Free kicks?" Huang Jianxiang's questioning tone touched the hearts of all fans in the country, "The referee from the Japanese team awarded the South Korean team an indirect free kick in the penalty area!" ”
"Is it Tang Wu's foul?"
As soon as the words fell, the Japanese referee came to Tang Wu and showed a yellow card.
Tang Wu spread out his right hand with an innocent expression, and the ball was still tightly sandwiched between his left arm.
"What's going on?"
Looking up at the replay on the big screen, from Park Ji-sung's cross to Tang Wu's attack, there was no problem.
The problem was that the moment Tang Wu picked up the ball, he happened to bump into Li Tianxiu, who had already jumped.
Therefore, the referee of the Japanese team believed that when Tang Wu was competing for the high-altitude ball, his actions inadvertently caused damage to the opposing team. Because it was unintentional and it was the goalkeeper who attacked, the referee awarded South Korea an indirect free kick in the penalty area.
After Huang Jianxiang finished explaining, Uncle Liu, who was guarding in front of the radio, snorted: "What is intentional or not, that is, if you think Tang Wu is intentional, you will also give my family Tang Wu a red card?" Sure enough, neither Little Japan nor South Korea is reliable! ”
The noise gradually sounded in the stands, and the fans began to be dissatisfied.
The referee's penalty result was a pass of ten, ten passes of hundred, and it was the first time that many female fans had seen such a penalty.
"Indirect free kicks in the box, which means that direct shots are not allowed, must have more than two touches of the ball for the shot or goal to be valid. Otherwise, even if the penalty is scored, the ball will be judged out of the bottom line, and the opponent will take the penalty kick! ”
Huang Jianxiang's explanation made many fans suddenly realize that a free kick can still be awarded in the penalty area!
Now that the referee's decision has taken effect, Tang Wu knows that there is no possibility of changing it.
This time, even Yan Song in the front court ran back and participated in the human wall.
Since the penalty kick was about two or three meters in front of the right side of the small penalty area, Tang Wu simply asked the eight players to stand up from the right post and stand in the middle in turn.
Xu Liang leaned on the left door post, and left Lu Feng alone a little in front of him, as a response and interference.
In this way, the members of the National Olympic team fought in a row on the goal line, leaving Tang Wu with a "gap" of only a little more than two meters.
"This, so close? Don't let people get into it? ”
"Lao Zhang, didn't you say it just now, you are not allowed to hit the door directly!"
"It's enough to choke if you don't hit the door directly, you look at such a close distance, you can't react at all!"
After accepting the reality, the home team fans in the stands all pinched a cold sweat for the national Olympic team.
This game can only be won, not even a draw. Although the national Olympic team is playing well now, they are only one point ahead. If it is equalized by the South Korean team at this time, it will definitely be a blow to the morale of the national Olympic team.
Maybe the draw will make these "fragile" National Olympic guys feel bad, and then the National Olympic Games will be "exposed".
None of the fans who came to Wuhan tonight wanted to see the "before" National Olympics.
Kim Ho-kun smiled and nodded his head from the sidelines, as if he was satisfied with the performance of his teammates.
After being helped up by his teammates, Lee Tianxiu actually began to high-five Park Ji-sung and others beside him one by one.
If anyone understands Korean, they will hear Li Tianxiu saying in a regretful tone: "The boy is so lucky, I wanted to make him a red dot package, who came to this little Japan first and let him go!" ”
Sun Xiang came to Tang Wu's side out of breath and said with a guilty face: "Tang... Captain, I, I'm sorry for you, I'm sorry for the team, if only I could hold him..."
"Alright, the coach called you, don't take it too seriously. It's not a penalty, what are you afraid of? ”
Sun Xiang looked at the fourth official and Wang Sheng on the sidelines, sighed and ran out of the field.
It's not a penalty, but it's about the same distance as a penalty.
Tang Wu saved a penalty, but an indirect free kick in the box was the first time he had encountered it. Recalling the only ten indirect free kick videos in the videotape, Tang Wu frowned.
It's hard to get it!
Looking at Tang Wu's frowning brows, Li Tianxiu and Park Ji-sung glanced at each other. Although the "opportunity" that the two exchanged for "tactics" was not so glorious, they were excited at the thought of breaking through the incomparably stable "Great Wall" of the National Olympic Games.
No matter how strong the city wall is, it will poke a hole for you today!
Lee Cheon-so, Park Ji-sung and Cho Jae-jin all stood in front of the ball.
Who kicks? Who shoots?
Where to kick? Where to shoot?
At this moment, Tang Wu had no idea in his mind, because he had never encountered it, and the coach rarely mentioned it, and he had never practiced it himself.
Or just stand on the goal line and wait for them to make a free throw!
What if you are blocked by a teammate?
Tang Wu glanced at his teammates around him, and the tallest Zhang Baofeng was only 1.85 meters.
There is a large blank space above the heads of the players, as long as they play according to this blank area, Tang Wu will not be able to defend at all. And with the courage of the National Olympic team members, Tang Wucai didn't believe that anyone would dare to jump up!
Just as Tang Wuzhan was looking ahead, the referee blew the whistle in his mouth.
As soon as the whistle sounded, Tang Wu's body reflexively entered the state.
At this moment, Tang Wu suddenly thought, since he couldn't calculate the result after calculating, why not hand over "fate" to "intuition"?
Anovan once said that the first reaction and judgment of a good goalkeeper must be accurate. Isn't it a good time for yourself to verify yourself?
Just do it!
Tang Wu cleared all distracting thoughts from his brain in an instant, his eyes were fixed on the ball, his center of gravity was lowered, and his motor nerves controlled his body.
Park Ji-sung, run!
This guy definitely can't shoot!
Sure enough, Park Ji-sung's body stepped over the ball and ran forward. And behind him, Cao Jaezhen has also started.
Park Ji-sung's false shaking made all the national Olympic players on the goal line tremble, some tiptoed, and some leaned forward, all looking like they wanted to move but didn't move.
But at this moment, Tang Wu suddenly stepped forward and rushed forward with open arms.
In his line of sight, Cho's left foot had touched the ball, pushing it towards the center.
Tang Wu bowed his waist slightly, stretched his arms, and ran towards Li Tianxiu with wide eyes.
Even if Li Tianxiu had already touched the ball one step ahead of Tang Wu, Tang Wu's sprint speed still did not decrease.
Rumble!
Bang!
Two different voices rang out almost simultaneously.
People only saw a ball flying straight up and down on the line of the small penalty area, Zhang Yaokun was the first to rush forward from the goal line, pushed the ball out of the penalty area, and rolled out of the sideline.
The subsequent National Olympic players didn't put their minds on the ball at all, and they all ran to Tang Wu, who fell to the ground on his back.
The medical staff of the team ran forward as fast as they could, and blocked Tang Wu's two bleeding nostrils with medical cotton.
On the big screen, Tang Wu, who had two pieces of cotton stuffed under his nose, had a distorted expression on his face, funny and ridiculous.
But Li Tianxiu looked at the National Olympic goalkeeper who had the same nostrils as his goalkeeper in the first half, but he couldn't laugh.
