Chapter 232: Suffocating Penalty
A huge wave of sound resounded in the sky as players from both sides entered the stadium, and the entire Kazan Stadium vibrated as each player felt their ears tingle.
Germany's starting line-up β
Goalkeeper: Manuel Neuer
Defenders: Hector, Hummels, Khedira, Kimmich
Midfielders: Jule, Kroos, Goretzka, Mesut Ozil, Reuss
Striker: Timo Werner
The starting lineup of the Chinese teamββ
Goalkeeper: Zeng Cheng
Defenders: Li Xuepeng, Feng Xiaoting, Zhang Linpeng, Zhang Chengdong
Midfielders: Jin Jindao, Zheng Zhi, Wu Xi, Hao Junmin, Wu Lei
Forward: Dai Zhiwei
The defending champions made a change in their starting line-up and rotated five players. Boateng, who received a red card in the last game, is suspended, and Rudy, who has a broken nose, is absent. Hummels returned from injury, Mesut Ozil and Khedira returned to the starting line-up, ZΓΌle replaced Rudiger and Goretzka was also given a chance to play, with Muller and Draxler coming off the bench after impressive performances in the first two games.
The Chinese team generally continued the starting lineup of the first two games, only replacing Yu Dabao with Jin Jindao, who had a better defense, and the team's defender Hao Junmin, who played in the Bundesliga, is very familiar with the characteristics of German players and the way they play, and belongs to the "Zhide player".
"Hehe, the game is about to start, and there are some tidbits before the game, I hope it will not affect the mood of the players of the Chinese team." The live commentator of Huaxia TV's sports channel in this game is still a strong combination of He Wei and Yang Cheng.
The little tidbits He Wei said were referring to the press conference before the game against Germany, when Dai Zhiwei started firing as soon as he came up: "Mesut Ozil is a respectable player and a very good team-mate, he deserves to be treated better. I didn't play with Mesut Ozil for too long, but I knew he was a good guy. Unfortunately, perhaps some people are too sensitive and magnify certain issues. Maybe it's because he didn't play in the Bundesliga? β
Dai Zhiwei was naturally talking about the photo of Mesut Ozil and Gundogan with the Turkish president before the World Cup, which caused an uproar in the German team, and he hoped to disturb the mood of the German team with some off-the-board moves.
After all, the strength of the Chinese team is too far behind that of the German team, and the only chance for the Chinese team to win is that the German team cannot play normally.
And his words also attracted a counterattack from many players in the German team.
For example, Kroos said in an interview with German media: "Dai Zhiwei is a great player, but he doesn't know much about our situation. As far as I know, there is no discrimination within our national team or within the German Football Association. On the contrary, we have always been committed to diversity and integration, and Mesut Ozil is a good example of this, as are many other players. β
Mueller even scolded directly: "Dai Zhiwei should keep his mouth shut, he doesn't know anything!" β
Because the scolding between Dai Zhiwei and the German team involves racial discrimination and the problems between Turkey and Germany, He Wei and Yang Cheng can't say much in the live broadcast, He Wei quickly opened the topic, "Yang Cheng, I know that you have played in Germany for a few years and have some understanding of the German team, can you talk about it, and also talk about what we should pay attention to in this game?" β
"Well, I personally feel that the players of the German team have reached a stage of mutual harmony, their team is at the peak or the rise in terms of age, ability and experience, and it is the toughest game of the World Cup for us so far."
"As for this game, I personally think we are not without chances, Mexico and Sweden have scored against Germany in the first two rounds, and I am optimistic that Dai Zhiwei can score his fifth goal in this World Cup......"
In the midst of He Wei and Yang Cheng's talking, as the referee's whistle sounded, the game began, and the Chinese team took the lead in attacking amid the cheers of the fans at the Kazan Stadium.
Dai Zhiwei sent the ball to the feet of Hao Junmin in the midfield, and then rushed to the German half alone - facing the German team, whose offensive firepower is far stronger than the Swedish team and the Mexican team, Lippi is going to completely swing the bus in this game, except for Dai Zhiwei, the remaining ten Chinese team players almost did not pass the German half.
Is the tactics obscene?
A little.
But in the face of a strong enemy that cannot be fought hard, it is not courage, it is stupid!
After two World Cup games, the Chinese midfielder has gained a lot of experience, so it will not be as unfamiliar with this position as the last time, with no attack and poor defense.
After Hao Junmin won the ball, he saw that Ozil had appeared in front of him, stretching his long legs, and was about to put his foot down.
Hao Junmin flicked the ball, then turned his body quickly, and instantly got rid of the mediocre Ozil, who was mediocre in defense, and moved forward with the ball without hurrying or slow.
In this game, Lippi's requirement for the midfield players of the Chinese team is one word - stability, even if they see a chance, except for Wu Lei, the rest can only watch Dai Zhiwei challenge the German team's backline alone.
For the Chinese team, it is a great gift from heaven to be able to defeat the German team in this game, but the rational goal is to strive for a small loss of 0:1, so as to return to China with their heads held high and accept the worship of hundreds of millions of fans!
As for whether the German team is in good shape, it is not something they should consider - because even if the German team can only show seventy percent of its strength, it can easily destroy the Great Wall of Steel of the Chinese team!
After Artemisia Junmin passed Ozil on the field, he was immediately surrounded by Goretzka, and after colliding with his body, Artemisia Junmin's body was a little swaying, and he was almost cut off directly, and hurriedly sent the ball to Wu Xi's feet.
Wu Xi quickly set the edge, received Artemisia Junmin's ball, saw Royce rushing over, didn't dare to play with fire, and immediately passed back, wanting to play a two-to-one with Artemisia Junmin.
But when Hao Junmin received the ball, he found that he had been surrounded by Ozil and Goretzka, and he couldn't move, so he had to open his big foot and pass to Dai Zhiwei in front.
drove a big foot and passed directly to Dai Zhiwei, which was one of the few arrangements for Lippi's attack on the Chinese team in this game.
If Dai Zhiwei can form a dragon attack after receiving the ball, it is best, but if he can't complete a series of passes, Dai Zhiwei can also control the ball at his feet in the German team's half, delay the German team's offensive time, and leave enough time for the Chinese team to set up the defensive line.
Artemisia Junmin's long pass still has a certain amount of kung fu, and after Dai Zhiwei saw Artemisia Junmin get up, he immediately judged the landing point and prepared to catch the ball.
He was still some distance from the ball, but Kroos also ran towards the ball, and the two stepped on the ball almost at the same time and began a fierce battle in the middle.
"Bang!"
Dai Zhiwei felt that his body was like hitting pig iron, but he had already been used to this kind of confrontation in the Premier League, which loves to fight for his body, and he felt that Kroos was going to exert force behind his back.
Kroos shook himself away from the collision, his body staggered, and before he could stabilize his body, Dai Zhiwei had already taken advantage of his long legs at this time to pull the ball out from his supporting feet.
Because the game had just begun, the German team's back line was not rushed in, so after passing Kroos, Dai Zhiwei was still in front of the German team with a complete backline.
"It's a bit difficult!" Dai Zhiwei calculated slightly, feeling that it was unlikely that he would shoot after passing three or four players of the German team in a row, and glanced at the penalty area again, and a trace of determination flashed in his eyes!
At this time, the defenders of the German team were all on the lookout, looking at Dai Zhiwei, who was still 45 meters away from the goal, Khedira and Kimmich were ready to come forward to intercept.
However, just as Khedira and Kimmich were just starting, I saw Dai Zhiwei make an adjustment in his pace, then leaned slightly, lifted his right leg, and the next moment his right foot was heavily pumped on the side of the ball!
"Go, Thunderbeast Shoot!"
After exchanging Makoto Hayata's razor shot, Dai Zhiwei still has a lot of remaining points, and he also refers to the experience of upgrading Okuta's curved shot to a gliding momentum shot, and upgrades the original Hinata Kojiro's tiger shot to a thunderbeast shot with more force, faster speed, and longer starting distance!
Previously, the Tigers had shot from 40 yards out, and unless the goalkeeper was inattentive or made a low-level mistake, the chances of a goal were generally unlikely.
But the thunder beast shot has turned a long shot of about 40 meters into a conventional weapon, and even the theoretical maximum speed can reach 230 km / h, which is the most powerful shooting skill in the "football player system", as long as the angle is not bad, unless the goalkeeper has a god-level play, the possibility of breaking the goal is great!
Even though Dai Zhiwei is now 45 meters away from the German goal, he still has the confidence to create enough threat for Neuer!
"Bang!"
The moment Dai Zhiwei's right foot hit the football, the football seemed to be flattened, and there was a more obvious deformation, and the next moment the football with huge power, drew a straight line, like a sharp blade, and rushed past Khedira, with a strong wind, and blasted towards the goal!
Khedira tried to block, but by the time he reached the outside of the box, the ball had already flown over his head and he couldn't jump.
The Chinese fans in the stands shouted excitedly when they saw Dai Zhiwei's goal, and the local Russian fans also let out an exclamation when they saw Dai Zhiwei's vigorous banging!
Because of this ball, it's so fast!
It was as fast as a bolt of lightning, and they saw Dai Zhiwei swinging his legs one moment ago, and the next moment the football had already flown into the small penalty area!
German goalkeeper Manuel Neuer has been on full guard since Dai Zhiwei started to dribble the ball, he has studied Dai Zhiwei's shot, and Dai Zhiwei's sudden shot between the lines is very powerful.
Seeing the ball flying over at a rapid pace, Neuer subconsciously jumped sideways, stretched out his arms, and made a "snap".
He only felt a force in his arm, instinctively lifting the ball off the crossbar in the air, and then felt a tingling in his fingers.
It's a goalkeeper glove!
Neuer has some fears, you must know that this is Dai Zhiwei's shot from 45 meters away, if it is at the front of the big penalty area, he can't react at all!
The Chinese fans scolded in frustration when they saw Neuer lift the ball off the crossbar, while the German fans also applauded Neuer for doing a good job.
"Oh! Incredible! Dai Zhiwei actually hit the goal with a heavy shot near the midfield, so that Neuer could only drag the ball off the crossbar instead of holding the football! The power of this kick is terrifying! Yang Cheng shouted "incredible" in the live broadcast room.
"Hehe, I just received a piece of information about Dai Zhiwei's shot just now." He Wei also received the latest information he had just obtained from the background, and he was a little surprised to read according to the data on the material: "Dai Zhiwei's shot just now was calculated to reach a speed of 162.8 km/h, that is, 45.2 m/s. And the place where Dai Zhiwei got up just now is 46 meters away from the goal, which means that it is only 1 second from the time he shoots to the time the football reaches the goal! β
"Oh! That's really an amazing speed! Yang Cheng was also taken aback, "I estimate that there should be few domestic goalkeepers who can save Dai Zhiwei's long-range shot just now, but it's a pity that it is Neuer who stands in front of the German team's goal. β
Lippi looked at the field in silence, without any expression, but his eyes were staring at Dai Zhiwei with a fierce gaze, because the speed and power of this shot were also unprecedented in his coaching career!
Loew no longer eats boogers quietly, but reminds the players on the field to follow Dai Zhiwei no matter where he is!
Dai Zhiwei's shocking heavy artillery made the German players break out in a cold sweat, and they also clearly realized what kind of player they were facing.
Because there are Dai Zhiwei's club teammates like Mesut Ozil in the German team, as well as Bayern Munich and Real Madrid players who were eliminated by Dai Zhiwei in the Champions League last season, they attach great importance to Dai Zhiwei, but they didn't expect that such attention is far from enough!
China's ensuing corner didn't cause much trouble for Germany, and after Hummels headed the ball out, Kroos controlled the ball in midfield and used his physical advantage to launch a fierce attack in the next moment.
Fortunately, this time the Chinese team did not have many players involved in corner kicks, and the German team's counterattack did not start.
But everyone realized that the German tank was ready to officially charge the Great Wall of Steel of the Chinese team!
