Chapter 1073: Killing the Myth
It is no wonder that the Colombian coach is so emotional, because in the first quarter of an hour of the game, the Chinese team has passed more than 130 times, and Greece has only 26 times. That's a pretty big gap, and statistically, the Greek team is playing quite hard.
The advantage of the Chinese team is becoming more and more obvious, and the shooting opportunities on goal are starting to increase.
In the 19th minute, Hao Junmin instigated an offensive in a cross from the right wing, Wu Sanshi knocked the ball back directly in mid-air, Dong Fangzhuo kept up without any adjustment in front of the penalty area, and pushed the lower right corner of the goal with his right foot, the strength was not large, but the angle was very tricky, and the Greek goalkeeper Carnehiss made a quick side save and confiscated the ball.
As soon as he got up, his teammates in front of him beckoned to him. It's just that he just kicked the ball out, and the Chinese team also defended back, and the speed of the return defense was quite fast, not giving Greece any chance to advance quickly, and when they hit the ball to the right side of the Chinese team's backfield, there was no space at all. There is only one move left, which is to force a cross, and after that, the ball is gone, and even Dong Fangzhuo has returned to the big penalty area to participate in the defense, how can the three Greek players find a shooting opportunity in the penalty area?
Subsequently, Zheng Zhi pushed the ball to the front in the backfield, Huang Bowen and Zhao Xuri passed continuously, and the ball was handed to the feet of Feng Renliang, Feng Renliang faced the tall Greek right-back Maniadis, Feng Renliang resolutely went to the outside line.
Dong Fangzhuo followed up in time and received Feng Renliang's inverted triangle pass on the line of the big penalty area, although Samaras and KonΓ© attacked left and right, Dong Fangzhuo suddenly knocked back with a heel, and retreated as advance, but easily got rid of the pinch.
With a flick of his right foot in the middle, he quickly hit a curling kick in front of Papastathopoulos!
call
The ball flew in a graceful arc towards the top right corner of the goal, and all eyes fell on the ball.
Belch!
The ball went just wide of the far post.
"This ball is played with quite quality, if the arc is a little bigger, the ball will be scored, Dong Fangzhuo's shot is very thoughtful, and the goalkeeper will definitely have no way to face this shot."
However, in the blink of an eye, the Greek team also rarely played a ground attack, defender Holebas inserted an assist, and the forward insertion on the left side also broke through Zhang Linpeng's defense, but his diagonal pass was not enough, and Zeng Cheng confiscated the ball.
Dong Fangzhuo once again stood outside his own penalty area and received the ball thrown by Zeng Cheng, and then he directly sent a long pass over the top, Wu Sanshi's running position was quite beautiful, and he suddenly cruised to the right side from the middle, and stopped the ball with his right foot for the first time and also passed Manolas, but Feng Renliang followed up a little late, and when Wu Sanshi made another move, and wanted to cross the ball past Papastathopoulos, the ball was stabbed away.
"Wu Sanshi's ball control skills are not good."
"He can only shoot or pass within two or three steps of receiving the ball, and once he rushes with the ball, he basically has no ......."
Greece, which regained the ball, also launched a long pass, but the footwork was not mastered well, and the ball returned to the feet of the Chinese team......
In the 26th minute, Feng Renliang received a pass from Dong Fangzhuo on the left side and crossed to the middle, and Wu Sanshi shoveled in the middle, but his leg was short and he didn't touch it......
"Goal, the Chinese team is missing a goal now."
"Who's going to stand up?"
Duan Xuan was in a hurry, and the fans were also in a hurry, and the Chinese team just didn't score.
"Dong Fangzhuo should lean forward a little, he is too far back."
"It's not enough to just pass the ball, is there Ronaldo in front of the Chinese team, and there is no Benzema, even if there is a Jesse or Morata?"
Turning to the Greek team, the Greek team rarely played a fast attack, Manyatis broke through Zhu Ting on the right wing and cut into the Chinese team's big penalty area, although Feng Xiaoting made up for it in time, but still let him complete the attack from a small angle, fortunately Zeng Cheng blocked the near corner in time.
"If you can't attack it for a long time, it always feels dangerous."
"Leng Buding was attacked by Greece."
"It shouldn't be."
"That's what we should do!"
People outside the field are in a hurry, but the players on the field are not in a hurry, the Chinese team is still playing step by step, Zheng Zhi sent the ball directly to the feet of Dong Fangzhuo, Dong Fangzhuo wanted to use a croquette to kill the defense in the middle, but he was hooked down by Kachulanis, who also received a yellow card.
The Chinese team had to stop attacking, and after resuming the serve, the Chinese team still insisted on playing ground attack. Huang Bowen, Dong Fangzhuo and Zhao Xuri played a beautiful triangle coordination, and finally Dong Fangzhuo turned sideways to face the instep outside the penalty area, and the ball rolled past Manolas very covertly and fell directly to the feet of Wu Sanshi who was running sideways.
"Good shot!"
Knock β
Wu Sanshi directly volleyed with his right foot into the bottom left corner of the goal.
"Oops!"
"Sliding the door out."
"There is nothing wrong with the tactics arranged by Crowchen today, but Wu Sanshi's start is a failure, and his ability to finish the game needs to be improved."
"The game was half an hour and he missed three chances to change the score."
The camera deliberately gave Wu Sanshi a big close-up, Wu Sanshi was expressionless, I don't know if he will lose confidence if he misses three opportunities in a row.
However, there is no time for him to be depressed now, because the ball driven by the Greek team was intercepted by the Chinese team again, Feng Renliang broke through with the ball on the left side, and rushed to the left side of the penalty area with the ball in a continuous change of direction. Wu Sanshi pulled out the space on the right, but Feng Renliang did not choose to pass, but unexpectedly pulled the ball into the big penalty area and shot with his left foot!
But the ball was blocked by the goalkeeper!
ββ¦β¦β
'The quality of the shot was good, but the goalkeeper played well.
"The ball is now in the back of the Chinese team, with Feng Xiaoting and Mitroglou battling for the header."
"Mitroglou fell on the turf, what's going on? There is no physical contact between the two sides, are they hurt? He clutched his waist, which seemed to be twisted to his waist. If it's a back injury, it's going to be a game. β
The referee stopped the game, and the Greek team doctor entered the field, Mitroglu did not stand up, but lay down and communicated with the team doctor for a while, and then the team doctor beckoned, and the stretcher came in, and Mitroglu was carried on the stretcher.
'It looked like the injury was serious and it was time to make a substitution, and Yerkas on the sidelines had already taken off his jacket to warm up. The weather was very hot, Zhao Xuri and they took advantage of this time to run to the field to drink water and replenish water in time, and this year's World Cup in Brazil allowed a short break for the players to rehydrate ......"
"After Greece's main striker will go down, it will be even worse for Greece, they are not strong in attack, and they have to play Ivory Coast in the next game. However, if they lose this game, they will be eliminated early, and the final round against Ivory Coast will be meaningless. β
After Yerkas came up, the time of the first half was about the same. The Chinese team kicked the boundary ball and tried to throw the ball directly at the feet of Hao Junmin, but Hao Junmin did not protect it, and the ball was broken by Samaras, who crossed and Zheng Zhi also pushed the ball out.
Huang Bowen passed diagonally to Dong Fangzhuo, Dong Fangzhuo turned to pull the ball, and was about to rush up with the ball. Kachulanis flew in from the side with a sliding tackle.
bang
Dong Fangzhuo's whole person fell to the ground in an instant! It hurts.
Beep
"This ball, it needs a yellow card."
"It's too dangerous,"
"Definitely give a yellow card."
"No, Kachulanis had a yellow card before."
"Sure enough, the referee showed a yellow card."
"In this case, Greece will really make matters worse, two yellows will turn into one red, Kachulanis will be sent off with a yellow card, they have to play 10 against 11!"
The Greek players surrounded the referee and tried to get the referee to change the decision, but to no avail, the referee had already insisted on the decision.
"In this way, the Chinese team is very hopeful of scoring a goal, even if it is a draw in the first half, it will be scored in the second half, for the Chinese team, now is the right time, place and people."
In the stands, the Chinese fans were also very excited, and everyone knew what that meant.
Greece coach Santos went to the fourth official to beep for a long time, and finally came back disgraced.
But at this time, danger came.
The Greek team, which was already 10 players, formed a threatening offensive in the 40th minute, and the straight plug in front of the Torosidis penalty area was blocked by Feng Xiaoting, who won the ball again and volleyed vigorously, Zeng Cheng saved the ball.
Crouchen was frightened into a cold sweat, he was very dissatisfied and shouted beside him, he resolutely couldn't die by himself!
And Santos actually made a second substitution adjustment at this time? Veteran Karagunis is on the scene.
Duan Xuan sighed: "Santos can't wait to fight with the Chinese team, and change the attacking players so soon." β
"Maybe he also felt that there was more luck than lucky, so he simply fought against the tide and replaced him with Karagunis in advance."
After Karagunis came up, he immediately instigated an offensive with a diagonal pass, and Yerkas stepped forward to sweep the ball into the Chinese team's penalty area, but unfortunately Samaras was too late to outflank him!
At the end of the half, the two sides handed over a 0:0 answer.
"Although Greece is more passive, they also have a few good chances,"
"The Chinese team can't take it lightly and must find a way to score as soon as possible."
ββ¦β¦β
After halftime, Crowchen decisively changed the formation and replaced Wu Sanshi with Gao Lin, which was the only change.
"Mitsushi is gone, for him personally, this start was not a success, but don't be discouraged, he's still young."
"After Gao Lin comes up, he may have more chances to get the ball."
Gao Lin may not be as good as Wu Sanshi's ability to score goals, but he can be the fulcrum of the front court and create more opportunities for his teammates.
β»β»β»β»
As soon as the whistle started in the second half, Dong Fangzhuo startled the Greek goalkeeper.
Seeing that the Greek goalkeeper was standing very far forward, Dong Fangzhuo suddenly came with an ultra-long-range hanging shot next to the arc of the middle circle!
"Huh!"
"Just a little bit!"
"The ball went just wide of the post."
"In the last World Cup, he scored a super hanging shot."
"I don't know if he can score a classic goal in this cup competition, his goal of six people in a row in the last tournament is almost on par with Maradona's goal of the century."
Then, the Chinese team continued to control the ball. In the 55th minute, Dong Fangzhuo was kicked down by Samaras when he got rid of the middle, and the latter received a yellow card; Dong Fangzhuo's direct free kick was blocked by the human wall.
Duan Xuan sighed:
"The human wall in Greece is too high, Dong Qiu is very difficult to overhead......"
The Greek team, which continued to defend on the defensive, also used set-pieces to threaten the Chinese goal, winning four corners in a row, but China's defense also did a good job and did not give a chance at all.
Fifteen minutes passed, and it was still a draw.
Dong Fangzhuo's position has obviously moved forward.
In the 64th minute, Dong Fangzhuo quickly dribbled the ball to instigate a counterattack, and then picked it to Gao Lin, Gao Lin was put down in front of the penalty area to win a free kick, Dong Fangzhuo took the penalty again, but the shot was blocked by the human wall......
But the Chinese team's offensive thinking has never changed.
Another four minutes later, the Chinese team launched another tidal attack.
"Dong Fangzhuo is here!"
Feng Renliang crossed diagonally to the right side of the Greek penalty area on the left side, Dong Fangzhuo, who was inserted forward under the watchful eye of two defenders, received the landing point and knocked on the door, and Gao Lin, who was outflanked at the back point, faced half an empty goal and pushed it!
"The ball is in!"
"The ball is in!"
"Gao Lin!"
"Gao Lin!"
'It's his third goal in the World Cup, his first goal in this World Cup.
β1:0οΌβ
"The Chinese team finally took the lead."
"Dong Fangzhuo's bread is too comfortable, it's hard for Gao Lin to think about it."
'It's going to be difficult for Greece because losing means they're going to be eliminated.'
"At the moment, the stadium is already a sea of joyful red."
"Chinese fans have been waiting for a long time."
"Sure enough, it had to be Dong Fangzhuo who came up to solve the problem in person."
"Greece must attack,"
"We can wait and see, that's our favorite way."
Naturally, the Greek players are very frustrated, they are one goal behind and one less player, how can they play this game?
Head coach Santos could only spread his hands on the sidelines helplessly, and it seemed that the Greek myth was gone......
Gao Lin, who was excited, took off his jersey to celebrate, and received a yellow card for it. It wasn't easy for him to score in the World Cup, after all, he wasn't the main player in the team.
The game quickly resumed, and the Greek team really pressed the attack, which was also a dead horse as a live horse doctor.
But soon they were hit again, in the 72nd minute, the Chinese team launched a quick counterattack through the left side, the Greek team's attack was stopped by Zhu Ting in the backfield, Zhu Ting found Feng Renliang with a straight ball in the backfield, Feng Renliang immediately obliquely blocked the middle of the penalty area, Gao Lin leaned on Papastapoulos to knock the ball back, Dong Fangzhuo followed up with a violent volley in time!
The Greek goalkeeper bravely saved the ball, and Papastathopoulos, who was behind Gao Lin, hurriedly came back to clear the siege, but the ball was kicked off and did not roll away, Dong Fangzhuo stretched out his right leg to stop the ball, and swept the far corner of the goal with his right foot!
Precise, bloodthirsty!
"The ball is in!"
"The ball is in!"
"Dong Fangzhuo!"
"Dong Fangzhuo!"
"This time it was Dong Fangzhuo who scored, his third goal in this cup and his 24th goal in the World Cup."
"The Chinese team scored two goals in three minutes. 2:0, basically the ...... of winning the game"
"It was a belated victory. The fans have waited so long and now they can finally breathe a sigh of relief. If nothing else, the Chinese team will qualify from the group ahead of schedule with two wins......"
The defeat was like a mountain.
The Greeks were powerless to recover, conceding two goals in the space of three minutes, leaving them in a completely desperate situation.
In the last 20 minutes, their morale was extremely low, and they were unable to organize an attack to threaten China's penalty area.
And the Chinese team slowed down and did not continue to attack.
Deng Zhuoxiang finally had to replace Dong Fangzhuo.
The game is over.
