Chapter 296: A Solo Performance
As early as when Feng Quan squeezed away Robben's entanglement with his strength advantage, the vast majority of the spectators in the stands of the Workers' Stadium focused their eyes on him. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Then, when Feng Quan got rid of the defense of De Jong and Van de Wiel and cut inside to the edge of the penalty area, nearly half of the spectators invariably stood up from their seats.
In the end, when Feng Quan's heavy artillery bombardment knocked on the door of the Dutch team with a thunderous momentum, more than 80% of the spectators in the stands "catapulted" from their seats as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and at the same time raised their arms and shouted Feng Quan's name almost frantically.
"Feng Quan's goal was really wonderful. It was a moment that made me feel like I had traveled back in time to the Apennines in the summer of 1990. Liu Jianhong, who was in the live broadcast seat, was so excited that it was difficult to suppress his emotions. Feng Quan's goal was a replica of Roberto Baggio's goal against Czechoslovakia on his World Cup debut. ”
And in the wind family hundreds of kilometers away, his mother Yu Jingxin left tears of excitement.
Although Feng Weiguo's mood was even more excited than his wife at this time, he still forcibly suppressed his excitement, took his wife into his arms and said with a smile.
However, if you look closely at Feng Weiguo's eyes, you can see that those eyes full of fortitude actually shimmered with crystal and fusion, called excited "tears".
………………
Without too much celebration, just a simple fist wave, Feng Quan quickly rushed into the door of the Dutch team. Then, after picking up the football, he ran towards the center circle.
Is it something to be proud of having breached the Netherlands? The answer, of course, is yes.
However, even a strong defense like Bayern Munich was broken through by the wind, not to mention the Dutch team, which was strong and weak?
Therefore, it is impossible to make Feng Quan feel satisfied with just scoring a goal for the Dutch team. Even if you can't lead the Chinese team to defeat strong opponents, you must at least rely on your excellent performance to win enough respect for Chinese football.
………………
Although the Chinese team was "missing one person" pulled a goal back, Van Gaal felt very faceless. But the veteran Dutch coach did not show too much excitement.
After all, it was last season's Bundesliga "rookie king" who scored his goal, not those Chinese who lacked enough strength to gain a foothold in Europe.
But in any case, if the Dutch team, as the runner-up of the last World Cup, cannot easily and beautifully defeat the Chinese team, which has undoubtedly reached the World Cup finals three times in a row and is ranked 90 places lower than him in the world, I am afraid that Van Gaal, as the coach of this team, will be criticized by his own fans and the media after the game.
Therefore, when the game resumed, Van Gaal ordered the team to step up the attack, in order to suppress the rapid counterattack of the Chinese team through his own strong attacking firepower.
In fact, even if Van Gaal did not give the order to strengthen the attack, the players of the Dutch team would not be willing to be attacked by the "weak" Chinese team.
As a result, the Dutch players, who were already full of anger in their hearts, rushed to the "position" of the Chinese team like red-eyed soldiers on the battlefield after receiving Van Gaal's instructions.
For a while, the Chinese team's goal was full of dangers. If it weren't for the state of goalkeeper Zheng Cheng, coupled with the repeated favor of the goddess of luck, I am afraid that the Chinese team at this time would have fallen behind by at least three or four goals.
Looking at the goalkeeper Zheng Cheng's high and low blocks again and again, as well as the defensive players' sacrifice to save the danger like "blocking the eye", whether it is the enthusiastic fans in the stands of the Workers' Stadium or the spectators sitting in front of the TV to watch the live broadcast of the game, they are all moved by the spirit of the players to defend the honor of Chinese football.
Especially in the 81st minute of the second half of the game, Zheng Cheng, who tried his best to keep his goal intact, saved Van Persie's extremely awkward shot, and his head hit the post on the right side of the goal, almost causing him to faint on the spot.
When Zheng Cheng slowly stood up from the lawn after nearly 5 minutes of treatment by the team doctor, all the spectators in the stands stood up and applauded Zheng Cheng's heroic performance.
Even some "keyboard warriors" who often rely on satirizing Chinese football and flaunting their own uniqueness, after seeing Zheng Cheng's heroic performance, can't think of any reason to discredit the performance of the Chinese team in this game.
Moreover, even the Chinese coaching staff and the Spanish coaching team headed by Camacho have returned to the "same front" at this time.
Due to the obvious gap with the Dutch team in terms of strength, and there is one less player than the opponent in terms of players. Therefore, in order to avoid the team "losing too ugly" in terms of scores, after a simple discussion, the two sides finally reached an "agreement".
First of all, the Chinese team was replaced by Zheng Xiaozheng, who was relatively balanced and more physically energetic, and the veteran Sun Xiang had a significant decline in physical strength. At the same time, Wu Lei, who is known for his speed, replaced Gao Lin, who was already difficult to get a little cheap in the "hand-to-hand combat" with the Dutch defenders.
Although the adjusted Chinese team is still in an absolutely passive situation on the field. However, the Dutch team's almost crazy offensive has always been difficult to break through the united Chinese team's defense.
And the Dutch players, who have not been able to attack for a long time, have gradually become emotionally impatient. And as impatience develops, so does their error rate when completing technical moves.
In the 86th minute of regular time, Sneijder, who received a pass from his teammates near the top of the Chinese team's penalty area, wanted to stuff the ball into the box.
However, due to a little error in his passing, his pass was directly blocked by Zheng Zhi, who was in charge of marking him, and directly stretched out his foot to block it.
However, just when Zheng Zhi, who successfully broke the ball, just wanted to find Feng Quan in the front court and was about to launch a long counterattack, he was suddenly forcibly pulled down on the lawn by Sneijder.
Because Sneijder's foul was so sudden, that Zheng Zhi, who was underprepared, actually sprained his left ankle that supported his body when he fell.
Although Zheng Zhi's injury was not very serious, the Chinese team decided to replace him out of fear of aggravating his injury.
However, when it came time to make changes to the on-field personnel, Camacho's "team" and the Chinese coaching staff once again had a disagreement.
Camacho advocated that Liu Jian, who can adapt to the position of the midfield, directly make a counterpoint substitution; The Chinese coaching staff believes that while replacing Zheng Zhi with Liu Jian, it should also be used by Han Chao to replace Sun Ke, who is already a little exhausted.
The reason why the Chinese coaching staff made such a choice was not only because Sun Ke's physical strength was problematic, but because the Dutch team's formation was too high, hoping to take advantage of the vacancy in the opponent's backfield to wait for an opportunity to sneak attack.
Since the Dutch team put the focus of defense on Feng Quan, they are relatively weak for the Chinese team's right side defense.
Although, at the last moment, he broke through sharply, but Yu Hanchao, who had weak defensive ability, seemed a little risky. But equally, his appearance is likely to bring unexpected gains to the Chinese team.
In the end, Camacho's team, which was already basically in a state of being "overhead", still chose to compromise with the Chinese coaching staff, who had already received Cao Jingwei's "secret support".
However, their compromise at this time did not buy them much time to "survive".
………………
Due to the delay in the second half of the game when the goalkeeper Zheng Cheng of the Chinese team was injured and received treatment, the referee from Australia gave 5 minutes of stoppage time.
Although the result of a small one-goal victory is not unacceptable, in the case of one person in the vast majority of the game, a one-goal victory is bound to make Dutch football, which has just come out of the shadow of a painful defeat in the European Championship in 12 years, suffer again in terms of confidence.
Therefore, even at the risk of being successfully attacked by the opponent again, Van Gaal did not make targeted arrangements for Yu Hanchao, who had just been substituted.
At this moment, if you are a viewer who has just started to pay attention to football and has just turned on the TV, you must not think that the competition between the Chinese team and the Dutch team is just a friendly match. Instead, you wonder if you've "crossed over" and are watching a match held in 20XX that will affect the final ranking of the group.
In the blink of an eye, the game was in the last minute of injury time.
At this time, Robben, who was holding the ball on the right side of the front court, had been surrounded by Zheng Xiaozheng and Zhao Xu of the Chinese team, completely blocking the line in the penalty area of the inner cutting road.
Although he can choose to break through in the direction of the baseline, Robben, who is a left-footed player, is not very good at passing the ball with his right foot. Therefore, if he chooses to break through in the direction of the baseline, he will also need to make adjustments and then cross with his left foot.
In this way, even if the Chinese team's defenders can't stop his cross, it will inevitably have a certain impact on the Dutch team's central point grabbers.
So, in order not to put Robben in a more embarrassing situation, Van Gaal, who was standing on the sidelines, waved his hand to right-back Van der Wiel, temporarily gave up the marking of Fengquan, and stepped forward to meet Robben's attack.
The next moment, Van der Wiel was seen to cut in Robben to pick up his own, and after a false shot, he passed the ball back to his feet. He then moved in the direction of the box to open up space for Van der Wiel.
However, at the same time that VanderWiel's right foot touched the ball, his left shoulder was hit violently without warning. Then, VanderWiel, who stumbled under his feet, almost fell on the lawn.
When VanderWiel saw who the person who hit him was, he immediately opened his mouth wide in surprise......
"What's going on!? I remember this guy should have been no less than 10 meters away from me? Even if he's the 'King of Sprints', he's a bit perverted at this speed, right!? ”
In fact, as early as when the Dutch coach signaled Van der Wiel to plug in, Feng Quan had already "quietly" followed him. In addition, at the beginning of Fengquan's transition to football, he was known as "Chinese Robben", so he also knows some of Robben's playing habits very well.
So, when Robben duffled a shot and then turned quickly, Feng Quan was already sure that the ball would be passed to Van der Wiel.
So, the moment the ball left Robben's feet, Feng Quan suddenly accelerated towards Van der Wiel.
………………
After squeezing away Van der Wiel with the advantage of strength, Feng Quan immediately made a sharp stop and began to dribble towards the Dutch half.
Although Van der Wiel stabilized his body and quickly turned to chase back, even the "King of Sprinters" who was in a state of dribbling still threw him farther and farther.
However, because Feng Quan's break was near the 30-meter area of his own half, he gave several Dutch players who were waiting near the halfway line a chance to quickly return to the defense.
Although there are 4 opposing players who are closer to the goal of the Dutch team than Feng Quan, two of them have been eyeing Wu Lei and Yu Hanchao respectively. Therefore, once Feng Quan breaks through De Jong's defense, then in front of him, apart from the goalkeeper, there is only one defender left in front of him.
Therefore, as early as Van der Wiel's ball was cut off and De Jong began to turn and retreat, he had already made up his mind, even if he used a vicious foul, he must block Feng Quan's attack.
Less than 5 metres after the ball crossed the halfway line, De Jong slammed in from his right.
Although in the previous game time, De Jong has already had the experience of defending the whole game. But after all, in the previous few defenses, the bodies of the two sides did not collide directly. Even if he saw it with his own eyes, Feng Quan directly relied on his strength and squeezed Van de Wiel away.
However, De Jong, who has the body of a boxer and is known for his physical strength, does not think that he will lose to Feng Quan in terms of strength. In his opinion, the reason why Vanderwer was squeezed away by the wind was not that his strength was inferior to his opponent, but that he was caught off guard by the "cunning" wind, which caused him to lose the ball.
However, when he really collided with Feng Quan, he was surprised to find that the strength advantage he was most proud of had actually lost to a Chinese...... who didn't seem to be strong
However, after all, it is a player who is known for his outstanding defensive ability and world football, although he has not been able to rely on strength to defeat his opponent. But De Jong, who is experienced in defense, immediately stretched out his left hand and grabbed Feng Quan's jersey. Even if you pay the price of a yellow card, you have to stop the opponent's attack.
It's a pity that even though De Jong pulled Fengquan's jersey, he still couldn't stop him from moving forward.
The moment De Jong's left hand grabbed his jersey, Feng Quan immediately used the skill of [Instant Acceleration].
Because he couldn't guess that Feng Quan was grabbed by himself, he was able to accelerate violently again. Therefore, De Jong, who was caught off guard, not only failed to "foul as desired", but was almost brought down on the lawn by the sudden acceleration of the wind.
After shaking off De Jong's defence, only central defender Heitinga and goalkeeper Vermel were left in front of the wind.
