Chapter 32: Against Poland (Part I)
Chapter 32: The Battle of Poland (Part I)
Twenty-one seconds, just twenty-one seconds for the opening!
The Chinese team scored his first goal in this World Cup, Ling Feng scored his first goal in this World Cup, and he scored the eighth goal of his World Cup career!
The excited Ling Feng rushed all the way to the backfield, knelt on the grass in the surprised eyes of everyone, and kowtowed heavily to the place where Jiang Jiexiang was buried!
Of course, in the eyes of the fans, Ling Feng was kowtowing to the stands over there, and none of them understood what was going on.
Huang Jianxiang's reaction at this time can be said to be quite astute, but fortunately, Jiang Jiexiang's deeds were broadcast in the previous World Cup special program, so Huang Jianxiang immediately took this opportunity to explain.
The stadium was full of applause from Chinese fans, not only for Ling Feng, but also for the old international players who had passed away.
Many people predict that Ling Feng will definitely be able to break the history of the World Cup in his lifetime. Muller set a world record of 14 goals because he was still young, he was only 22 years old!
Ling Feng had already scored seven goals, and he was only eighteen years old at that time, and for a player, their peak period was when they were 27 or 8 years old.
In other words, it was not until the 06 World Cup that Ling Feng would reach his peak age, and in the three World Cups, it would not be too difficult to break the record of fourteen goals with Ling Feng's level.
But some people also said that perhaps, Ling Feng will be able to draw or surpass Gade in this World Cup. That record set by Müller!
The goal in the opening 21 seconds is good proof!
It's just that Ling Feng still has some regrets in his heart.
A little slower, still a little slower.
The current record for the fastest goal in the World Cup is in 1962 when Czechoslovakia played Mexico. Mosaic's record goal of 15 seconds – a record that was set by Hakan in the third- and fourth-place finals of this World Cup when Turkey faced South Korea. Suke breaks.
But Hakan. Su Ke is a striker, and he rushed up after the midfield ball was released, and he had a lot of advantages over Ling Feng's midfielder in terms of position.
The game continued, and the goal was scored at the beginning, and the situation was very favorable for the Chinese team.
The Polish team was obviously beaten a little blinded by the Chinese team, after all, they fell behind by one goal at the beginning, which is not acceptable to ordinary people.
But the Chinese team is playing more and more fiercely, especially the forwards Ding Rui and Hao Haidong, who are simply rampage in the front court, both of them belong to the speed of the striker, Hao Haidong's ball control ability is stronger, and Ding Rui has a strong sense of grabbing points in front of the goal.
Therefore, Ding Rui's position is relatively forward, ready to ambush in front of the door at any time, ready to suddenly insert an attack.
And Ling Feng, now everyone can see that he is the third striker of the Chinese team!
Shadow Striker!
In the fifth minute of the game, Yue Lingxiang gave a beautiful arc cross on the right side to the front of the penalty area, and Ling Feng, who had been hovering in front of the penalty area, rushed up like a cat, grabbed the chest before the opponent's defender stopped the ball, and then followed by a buckle, completely opened the defender behind the left foot cleverly plugged into the penalty area, Ding Rui followed the toe of the right foot and stabbed the shot, but unfortunately the ball smashed into the face of the Polish goalkeeper Dudek out of the bottom line.
The current Liverpool goalkeeper was lying on the ground with his face covered, and after receiving treatment, it was obvious that he could see blood still bubbling under his nose.
In general, Dudek is an excellent goalkeeper, but good is excellent, the goal just now is impossible to defend even if Kahn came, and he is now slightly injured, which is another small blow to the Polish team that is not strong overall.
Suffice it to say that Dudek is Poland's Chilavert, and his presence is crucial to Poland's weak backline.
Although Dudek just had a little bleeding from his nose, it still had some impact on his next performance.
Sure enough, in the next corner kick opportunity, Yue Lingxiang crossed with his right foot, and Ling Feng, who was still standing on the line of the big penalty area before he passed, suddenly appeared in front of Dudek who attacked, and the header grabbed the ball in front of the goalkeeper and threw the ball into the empty goal!
2:0! The first half was just five minutes, just five minutes!
Ling Feng scored twice and scored his second goal of the game!
The Chinese team scored two goals in total on these two shooting opportunities, and both of them were scored by Ling Feng, such a terrible goal efficiency is enough to make any backline frightened!
In fact, the first goal can be regarded as Ling Feng's real credit, and the opportunity for the second corner kick can be said to take advantage of the opponent's injury just now.
It was only two goals down in five minutes, and it was a cruel blow.
In other words, basically at the beginning of the game, they played against the opponent with a two-goal disadvantage - the morale of the Polish players suddenly fell to zero.
But the Chinese team's attack continued.
Liu Dong, Zhu Yujian and Yue Lingxiang were more able to control the ball in midfield than the Poles, and for the most part, they had to run in vain behind the Chinese players.
Moreover, Zhu Yin and Sun Jihai, the two fullbacks, are also extremely active, coupled with Ling Feng's retreat, basically the Chinese team is six players in the midfield to control the game, and there is a gap in morale and technology, even if you can't play football, you can see that the situation of the Polish team is already very bad.
Years later, Dudek recalled the one-sided game as follows: "It was the most memorable game of my life, there was a terrible player against the opponent, and even more terrible was their fans – imagine a situation where 100,000 people were shouting at the same time, and they were all shouting a syllable, and that syllable was something I will never forget, and I even had to devote some of my energy to suppress the fear in my heart during the game, otherwise, I'm not sure I'll get rid of some simple balls.
I've always remembered that syllable, pronouncing 'long'."
Indeed, with 100,000 people shouting in unison, even players like Dudek who have played in many European tournaments have to be distracted to avoid being distracted. Just imagine, in Europe, it is simple to have 100,000 fans in front of a top game, but it is difficult to find 100,000 fans who are cheering for a team, and more importantly, here is the national team, it is the World Cup, this meaning is different - just like asking the fans in Paris to choose, is it Paris Saint-Germain who can get excited about winning the European Champions Cup, or France who can get excited about winning the World Cup?
It's definitely not an honour of a grade, it's true for the players, it's true for the fans!
In the game, the pressure of the players is already great, but they still score part of their energy to resist the interference of the opposing fans, especially the goalkeeper, if he is a little weaker and his psychological quality is worse, I am afraid that it is really as Dudek said, a non-threatening shot may cause him to make a mistake and get out.
The east wind blows, and the war drums beat. There are two big drums beating in each of the four directions of the stadium, and the fans don't care about the morale formed by the shouts of their voices, forming an invisible dragon in the sky above the stadium, which is closely combined with the eleven players on the field.
That's the real game, and the feeling of being on the pitch is definitely not something that any training can compare.
In the fifteenth minute of the first half, Poland completed their first shot of the game - Olisadebe forced a shot under Wang Gang's interference, and the ball was very easily held in Lico's arms.
The goalkeeper who was immediately elected as the national team has always been subject to great controversy in China and even in international football.
Li Ke's appearance is a very explosive news, the apprentice of the Argentine goalkeeper Goyechea, and the national successor of the Chinese team trained by Ling Feng.
The newly debuted Li Ke first joined the Malaga team directly, and because of his outstanding performance, he was quickly noticed by many clubs, and was finally recruited by PSV Eindhoven in the Netherlands.
In PSV Eindhoven and Ajax, Lico's invincibility ensured victory and he also saved a penalty kick that immediately made him famous.
His best game came against Bayern Munich in the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League, where he saved several dangerous shots and saved three penalties in the final penalty shoot-out to beat goalkeeper Kahn!
Now Li Ke is recognized as one of the favorites who is expected to become the world's No. 1 goalkeeper in the future, but this time the Chinese team raised him to the position of the main goalkeeper, which still caused a lot of controversy.
Mainly, Li Ke is too small!
I'm only 21 years old! You haven't reached the legal age of marriage!
Generally speaking, goalkeepers become famous when they are about 30 years old, Italy's Buffon is young enough, but the bad guy is also 24 - besides, Buffon is a bull who represented Parma in Serie A at the age of 16, and what about Ricco? It's only been three years since I learned to play football!
Even if it's Goyechea's apprentice...... So what?
But in the qualifiers and warm-up matches, Li Ke's performance was indeed quite eye-catching, his excellent running and accurate judgment became the last solid gate for the Chinese team's defense - the Chinese team only conceded three goals in the entire qualifiers, which Li Ke contributed to.
The game continued, and at this time the Polish team had regained the same feeling as it had in the qualifiers, although it was still passive on the field, it was not as overwhelmed by the Chinese team as it was just now.
The scene is a bit of the World Cup, if it was just now, it would be clearly an offensive and defensive drill battle of the Chinese team.
But it was too late, two goals behind, the gap was really a bit big, for the Chinese team, the advantage of two goals was enough for them to win the game.
But the Chinese team is still on the offensive.
Ling Feng, who has always attracted people's attention, did not run back and forth like the last World Cup in this game, but stood patiently in the front court, waiting for his teammates to pass, or break through by himself, or pass to his teammates, which was completely an offensive core posture.
Let's take a few shots.
In the nineteenth minute of the first half, after Ling Feng received Zhu Yin's long pass, he skillfully unloaded the ball in the air with his right foot, and then rubbed it to the side very casually while turning.
In the twenty-ninth minute, Ling Feng faced the ball from Sun Jihai in the midfield with his left heel behind him, the ball flew over his head, and went straight to Yue Lingxiang on the right, who got the ball and Hao Haidong made a two-to-two cooperation in front of the penalty area and then cut into the penalty area to hit the goal at a small angle, but unfortunately the ball was bravely held in Dudek's arms.
The several attacks planned by Ling Feng looked very casual, as if they were juggling, very relaxed, and the posture was also very beautiful.
What's more, Ling Feng is now more comfortable than four years ago, and only when he is at ease can he handle the ball very easily and launch an attack very easily.
Many teams with the Chinese team as an imaginary enemy couldn't help frowning - mainly because the Polish team was too inferior, and it could be seen that the Polish team did not have the level to force Ling Feng to show his real strength, which also made them unable to touch Ling Feng's bottom.
The overall strength of the Chinese team has increased, yes, no one can deny this, even if it can't be said that the strength of this Chinese team can catch up with Brazil and surpass Italy, but it is definitely not too much worse.
What's more, any head coach would be worried that something would happen on the court that was beyond his control, and Ling Feng was undoubtedly a thorn in the heart of any head coach, because they didn't know how many troops to send and what tactics to use to prevent him.
Every soldier on the field is very precious, but Ling Feng's depth makes people wonder through, and the opponent's head coach is muttering, whether to send two players to defend him in the zone, or to arrange another person to conduct special marking?
But none of this had any big effect, even if he could prevent his breakthrough, he couldn't prevent Ling Feng's ...... Kick.
In the 32nd minute of the first half, Ling Feng was viciously tackled by an opposing player in front of the penalty area, and the referee showed a yellow card to the player and gave the Chinese team a well-placed free kick.
A standard full moon scimitar, Ling Feng's astonishing free kick skills reappeared in the World Cup stadium!
3:0! In the thirty-two minutes of the first half, Ling Feng completed his hat trick of this game!
