Chapter 43: The First Dye
Dai Zhiwei dribbled quickly on the side, faced the left fullback of Gamba Osaka, flicked his left foot, easily wiped the opponent, and continued to move forward with the ball.
Keisuke Iwashita saw that his teammates had been passed, and quickly stumbled diagonally to intercept them. And where will Dai Zhiwei let go of this opportunity, his right foot is gently buckled to the right side of the football, and his left foot is diagonally slanted.
After passing two defenders of Gamba Osaka in a row, a good opportunity to score has appeared at this time, Dai Zhiwei took advantage of this rare opportunity to directly insert into the right penalty area, Goulart and Elkeson also looked for a favorable position in the penalty area, and raised their hands to signal the ball.
Yonecang Henggui had some hard work, while aiming at the high latt on his side, he moved a few steps sideways, blocking the route where Dai Zhiwei might shoot, and the defense was quite troublesome, after all, a person's energy is limited.
Yonekura Tsuneshi is already lacking in taking care of Goulart, one of the attacking players in Asian clubs today, let alone being distracted?
Dai Zhiwei took a big step forward with his left foot, even more than a football, and his right foot was raised high, swinging from back to front, looking like he was about to shoot.
Yonecang Henggui couldn't figure out what trick Dai Zhiwei was playing, but the defender was the kind of person who had to be prepared for everything, even if Dai Zhiwei didn't want to shoot, he had to block it.
Therefore, Yonekura Henggui hurriedly took two steps forward and stretched out his right foot towards the football.
"Is Dai's left foot a little too forward? This will not be powerful in terms of shot quality. No, it's not! Goulart realized something and took a few steps back.
At this time, the difference between Goulart and Dai Zhiwei is reflected, if it is Elkeson at this time, he will definitely not be aware of Dai Zhiwei's thoughts.
At the moment when Dai Zhiwei's right foot was about to touch the ball, the tense foot suddenly relaxed, and his right heel knocked the football from the back of his left leg to the left.
The football rolled right in front of Goulart, who had already withdrawn to the back at the moment of Dai Zhiwei's pass, and successfully caught Dai Zhiwei's inverted triangle pass.
In the run, Goulart blocked the Gamba Osaka defender with his back, met the football, and with a gentle push of the arch of his foot, he effortlessly sent the ball into the opponent's goal.
"The ball is in!"
"In the 14th minute of the second half, Goulart scored, which marks that Gamba Osaka has been completely defeated and has no ability to resist, and Evergrande will definitely win this game!" The commentator at Tianhe Stadium was almost roaring to explain the goal!
Although this goal is not classic or flashy enough, Evergrande's players, even the coaching staff and substitute players on the bench jumped up.
"Catch me!" Dai Zhiwei rushed to Goulart's body with a sprint, allowing the latter to carry him up.
Dai Zhiwei was the focus of Gamba Osaka's defense in this game, and although he has not yet contributed a goal, he has provided two assists - Paulinho's free-kick was also created by Dai Zhiwei.
Dai Zhiwei proved to everyone that even if he doesn't score, he is the most important core of the team's attack!
Gamba Osaka's two-goal deficit is even more passive, so it is simply unrealistic for them to score two goals in 30 minutes, even if it is difficult to score a goal, it is better to stabilize the defense first, after all, with a score of 0:2 back at home, taking advantage of the home field may not be impossible to turn the tables.
It was under this guiding ideology that Gamba Osaka completely gave up the attack and began to retract into his own half.
They finally understood that if they continued like this, the game was likely to be good, but it would be a scene where the opponent slaughtered themselves with a big score, and it was better to shrink back to defense, and they didn't want to continue to concede goals.
Cannavaro also wanted to make good use of this time, and turned around to signal Zheng Long and substitute striker Gao Lin to warm up, ready to continue to attack Gamba Osaka's defense.
When the game time came to the 29th minute of the second half, the fourth referee raised the substitution sign, Zheng Long replaced Huang Bowen and promoted him to the left winger, Dai Zhiwei was promoted to play the right winger, and Gao Lin replaced Elkeson as the team's center.
Cannavaro is obviously worried about Elkeson, who has also just recovered from injury, to be injured again, and the opponent's form in this game is indeed average.
"Didn't the old card replace me?" Dai Zhiwei was a little happy, "It looks like I still have time to score." ”
Although he has contributed 2 assists in this game, Dai Zhiwei always feels that scoring goals is the most important indicator to measure a striker. There were no more than 20 minutes left in the game, but he didn't give up the chance to score.
Evergrande's attack, Paulinho received the ball in the middle circle, just an ordinary start and acceleration easily left the opponent's midfielder behind, his eyes wandered around the position of his teammates in the field, and a positive instep volley drove the football to the left bottom line.
Zheng Long's body rushed out in an instant like an arrow from the bow, and he rushed towards the bottom line at a high speed.
When the ball arrives, so do the people.
Immediately afterwards, Zheng Long pressed the ball with his left foot on the white line of the baseline.
Yasuyuki Konno rushed up quickly, Zheng Long hurriedly started, stepped on the ball with his left foot, took a big step forward with his right foot, turned his back and stuck to Yayuki Konno, turned around again, pulled with his left foot, went with his right heel, easily wiped the opponent, and dribbled the ball straight into the left rib of the Osaka Gamba penalty area.
Yonekura Tsuneki hurriedly filled the vacant seat, trying to block the other party's forward route. However, Zheng Long made a diagonal trip on the outside of his right foot, and at the same time, Yonecang Henggui also quickly flew sideways.
But Zheng Long can be described as a bloodthirsty beast, and the fact that he did not start the team was not because he was not strong, but because his teammates were too strong.
The long absence of a game did not dull his claws, Zheng Long quickly stepped on the ball with his left foot and pulled back, and the football returned to the starting point from the beginning, while Yonecang Henggui had already fallen to the ground and could not effectively defend Zheng Long.
Then Zheng Long did not pause at all, buckled his right foot, and inserted it into the small penalty area on the left side.
Dongguchi Shunzhao had already moved to the left post, his body was pressed down, and his eyes were vigilantly staring at Zheng Long, waiting for the opponent's next move.
The difference between Zheng Long and Higashiguchi Shunzhao was only three or five meters away, but the shooting route had been completely blocked, and he didn't have the slightest chance.
Zheng Long cursed in his heart, and raised his left foot to cross. At the moment when he was about to touch the ball, he unexpectedly found that Higashiguchi Shunzhao gently moved back a few steps, and an angle had already appeared, although it was very narrow, but it was enough.
Zheng Long temporarily changed his mind, and the leg slam was an outside instep volley.
Higashiguchi Shunzhao's heart jumped, and he hurriedly pressed down, fortunately, Higashiguchi Shunzhao was in good shape today, and the moment his body immediately fell to the ground, the football hit his right hand and bounced back into the small penalty area.
However, after a little peace of mind in Higashiguchi, he turned his head and glanced at the scene in front of the goal, and his heart was already dark.
"The ball is in! Dai Zhiwei's clever follow-up shot in front of the goal scored his 11th goal in the AFC Champions League this season, and there is no doubt that he occupies the top spot in the scorer list! Is there anything else to say about such a rookie debut? I can't think of any other words than compliments! ”
It turned out that Zheng Long's shot just now hit the hand of Shunzhao Higashiguchi and bounced back to the middle of the small penalty area, Dai Zhiwei stepped forward smartly, shook off the Osaka Gamba defender who was marking him, and then shot with a blast, and the football beat the net into a huge bulge.
Although he knew that he would be warned by a yellow card if he took off his jersey, Dai Zhiwei still took off his shirt, shook his left hand vigorously, and then hugged his teammates who caught up tightly, and he didn't know what to say excitedly.
3:0!
This goal broke up the last bit of Gamba Osaka's spirit, and the players on the field were too casual in attack and defense, and the mistakes increased more and more.
The game returned to normal, but just when Gamba Osaka had not yet come to his senses, Evergrande almost scored again, this time it was Goulart who took the ball on the right side, and after a successful inward cut, he picked the ball and passed it to Gao Lin in the right penalty area.
Gao Lin lived up to Goulart's high expectations, his shot hit the chest of Shunaki Higashiguchi, and the subsequent follow-up shot was saved by Shunaki Higashiguchi.
It was almost the best save of the week in Asian football.
It's a pity that Gao Lin, as a striker, is a background board!
The game continued, and the time was getting closer and closer to the end of the game, but Evergrande continued to attack the Osaka Gamba penalty area with overwhelming momentum.
The protagonist of this game is the well-deserved Dai Zhiwei, whose every catch touches the entire nerve line of the opponent's defense, bringing disastrous consequences to the opponent.
Just as the game entered the final stage, in the first minute of injury time, Paulinho continued to cross the middle, successfully attracted two opposing defenders, and then fired a volley, and the football spun to the right at high speed.
Goulart unloaded the ball with the inside of his left foot, and a "strong feint" easily deceived the defender, took a quick diagonal step, and flashed a 45-degree diagonal cross into the penalty area.
Gao Lin and Yonecang Henggui jumped up at the same time, and the football slipped past the scalps of the two.
Of course, Dai Zhiwei would not refuse this good thing, reacted quickly, seized this killing opportunity, quickly stepped forward, and his body flew out horizontally, and he jumped + shook his head to attack the goal!
The soccer ball flew lightly through the fingers of Shunaki Higashiguchi and flew into the net.
"The ball is in again! 4:0! Evergrande has won a big victory! Dai Zhiwei scored his 12th goal in the AFC Champions League this season! This is amazing! Who knows how many goals he can score? "Even Gamba Osaka fans were overwhelmed by Dai Zhiwei's performance in his debut season!
Dai Zhiwei, who had been staring at the trajectory of the football flight, saw the football score and struggled to shake off his teammates, although it was sporadic rain over Tianhe Stadium, he still took off his shirt, quickly rushed to the corner area, and rushed out, stretched out his arms to maintain balance, and his body slid forward against the turf.
The teammates quickly caught up, learned Dai Zhiwei's movements one after another, followed the direction of his gliding, and swooped out one after another, which was very spectacular.
When Evergrande fans saw this move, they were even more crazy, constantly waving their fists to greet the players in the stadium.
However, when the referee of the game was reminded by the linesman, he realized something, looked at Dai Zhiwei with complicated eyes, moved forward a few steps slowly, and then showed Dai Zhiwei a second yellow card!
Then, two yellows turn into one red!
"Nani?"
