Chapter 115: Keep Kicking
In addition to the match between England and China, there was also a strong dialogue between the Netherlands and Mexico in Group A.
However, compared to the dullness of that game, the matchup in Group B, which already had two goals just over the halfway point, is undoubtedly more eye-catching.
Countless neutral fans who didn't watch the game were called to the televisions by their friends, and by the time of the second half of the game, the number of viewers had reached a staggering level.
The development of the competition also lived up to the expectations of the audience.
At the beginning of the second half, England showed a strong desire to attack, the midfield was the territory of Quinn and Yang Shaotian, and the battle between the two in the first half could be said to be evenly matched, which was equivalent to canceling each other, and England began to adjust the focus of attack to the wings.
It's just that this time it's not their world-famous Lennon Corridor, but the right side, which is easily overlooked.
Young full-back from Tottenham Hotspur Dennis. Joe, who squeezed out the Reds' right-wing veteran in the starting line-up, lived up to the manager's trust, not only making a couple of brilliant first-half breakaways, but also being a key figure in England's lead at the start of the second half.
Joe dribbles the ball on the right side, unlike Lennon, his speed is not very fast, but he is very agile, especially good at confusing opponents with feints, and the most commendable thing is that as a breakthrough player, he never sticks to the ball, passes when he should pass, and shoots when he should shoot.
This is probably the so-called stable and mature style of ball, with a strong view of the overall situation, which is the legendary ball quotient.
The so-called left and right sides on the field are longitudinally viewed, with their backs to their own goals, facing the opponent's position, left hand, left, right, right, so on the field, Qiao is opposite the left forward Lin Shengjian and left fullback Mo Yu of the Chinese team.
Lin Shengjian and Qiao are just the opposite, in addition to their speed, whether it is passing or shooting, there is no characteristic, and there is no way to talk about defensive ability.
He may be at the top level in the Chinese Super League, but it is a bit unsightly against a world powerhouse like England, Joe just gently pedaled his bicycle to shake him off, and then walked along the side like flying, facing Mo Yu who was making up for the defense, and wiped him out with a clever manball when facing Mo Yu.
Quinn quickly inserted again, and Ryan was also in position in the penalty area, leaning on Tang Junyue, reaching out for the ball.
Joe passes the ball to Ryan before Jung Hae comes up to make up for it.
Ryan pressed his right shoulder against Tang Junyue, and his right foot faced the football passed by Qiao, and the football drilled directly under Tang Junyue's crotch.
Ryan caught up with the ball, faced Chen Jiaxuan and Lin Cheng's left and right strikes, knocked the ball with his left foot, kicked back with his right foot, and rushed between the two like a spirit fox.
Knock the ball with the left and right feet, and make croquettes.
The England fans on the sidelines were ecstatic, and the shouts of "KING" were incessant.
At this moment, Ryan is the king of this stadium.
He dribbled past the attacking Chinese goalkeeper Luo Wei and easily pushed the empty goal.
The goal went in and England took the lead again. Joe and Michael. Ryan and the two have passed the entire defense of the Chinese team, and we must face up to the gap with the other party and adopt more pragmatic tactics. ”
"If Chu Yang's solo ride just now was a storm crossing the border, as fast as lightning, then Lane's breakthrough was a drizzle of rain hitting people, moisturizing things silently, and the two of them jointly presented a wonderful game for the world fans, let us look forward to Chu Yang's response."
Chu Yang responded with a quick sneak attack from the left, his dribbling was like the wind, but the breakthrough reversed the swiftness and agility of the first half, becoming casual and free, like a painter waving his pen to paint, a poet opening his mouth to chant poetry, and playing with his teammates invisibly while strolling in the court.
It's a pity that the Three Lions are not a Swiss team after all, Chu Yang struggled after passing the midfield, and was soon cut off by Wilshere and the opponent's right-back.
The England team quickly counterattacked, and Dennis, who had just been wiped by Chu Yang. Joe received a pass from Wilshere and turned back into the Chinese half, and then crossed Lin with Quinn with a wall collision and brought the ball to the left front of the Chinese penalty area.
Mo Yu waited, but Joe pushed the ball back to the middle, and Quinn took the ball.
Yang Shaotian stood in front of Quinn, and the two faced each other.
This is a picture that all fans have been waiting for for a long time, and I believe that this scene will also become one of the most classic shots of this world football.
Quinn tried to force his way through, but Yang Shaotian steadily stuck his position, blocking his direction like a wall.
It was impossible to expect Quinn to pass with dazzling breakaways, and front-to-head one-on-one wasn't his forte, so he didn't hesitate to pass the ball out and run quickly.
Lennon received the ball and crossed it over the top.
The ball went just right past the defender and landed in front of Quinn.
Quinn meets the ball and shoots angrily.
Yang Shaotian, who was blocked by him, watched as the football he kicked flew into the Chinese team's goal like a whistling cannonball.
Wilshere cut off Chu's ball, Joe, Daniel, and Lennon cooperated with each other to defeat Chinese, which is a victory for team football and a reflection of individual strength, Michael 2:1 Chu Yang, Daniel 1:0 Yang Shaotian, England 3:1 China, the game came to a reasonable track, the Chinese team ...... It has never been an obstacle for England. ”
It was only 54 minutes into the game, and the Englishman was already celebrating the victory in advance.
The Chinese players on the field looked confused, and there were people on the sidelines who stared at Chu Yang, the culprit of the conceded goal.
It was his breakthrough that was cut off and gave England the chance to counter-attack.
No matter how much responsibility he actually took for the goal he conceded, under the pen of the reporters, he has decided this pot.
"Resignation?" There was no emotion in Yang Shaotian's voice.
He just looked at the England team calmly celebrating the goal, and there was fire burning in his eyes.
Chu Yang didn't answer his question for the first time, but waited for a while before saying, "Listen." ”
He didn't say anything to hear, but Yang Shaotian quickly heard it.
"The five-star red flag flutters in the wind, and the victory song is so loud......"
The singing grew louder and louder, eventually even overpowering the cheers of the English fans and becoming the loudest sound in the stadium.
This scene spread all over the world through live broadcasts.
A lot of people don't know what they're singing, but a lot of people know what they're trying to say.
What is a true fan? That's it.
"Speaking of..."Yang Shaotian said, "You wrote this song, right?" ”
"Hmm."
Chu Yang answered, but the scene was too noisy, Yang Shaotian didn't hear Chu Yang's voice, he said to himself: "If you don't play football, you can still be a singer and an actor, and I ......"
He didn't know whether to tell Chu Yang or to himself, "I won't know anything but to play." ”
Chu Yang smiled, looked at this sullen captain who didn't talk much, patted his shoulder with both hands, and said, "Then keep kicking." ”
Even many, many years later, this is the sentence that Yang Shaotian remembers most clearly in his football career.
