Chapter 351: What Are You Afraid of!
However, Wen Zhihao's move once again subverted everyone's thinking.
Not only was there not the slightest anger on his face, but even the way he responded to the provocation was unexpected.
He actually gave Lukaku a thumbs up!
Many fans and most of the commentators thought they were dazzled, rubbed their eyes, and then took a closer look, Wen Zhihao's high thumbs were accurately captured by the close-up, and his thumb was never downward, but always upturned high. In other words, he genuinely appreciates Lukaku's goal!
Most people don't know why, what kind of routine is this? The opponent scored a goal, but he praised the opponent?
Is this the sympathy between heroes?
Many fans feel that this scene happened in the knockout round of the World Cup, which is really inconsistent!
He Wei pondered for a moment, and finally could only say according to his own speculation: "Wen Zhihao...... What a generous attitude! That's probably what a star looks like. ”
And some fans simply joked that Wen Zhihao felt that it was boring to win easily, so he liked to see it difficult for the opponent.
Of course, this is just a joke. For professional footballers, this is absolutely not true in the World Cup.
Zheng Zhi asked with a bad face, "Zhihao, what did you mean by that action just now?" Do you still want them to win? ”
Wen Zhihao looked at his serious expression, suddenly showed a treacherous smile, leaned close to Zheng Zhi's ear and said, "Brother Zhi, I know you are very unhappy, but we can't compete with him, they want us to do this!" Since he wants to show us that he is awesome, then let's go with his will! I don't believe that when a person's mentality starts to float, he will be so fierce! ”
Zheng Zhi suddenly realized, the expression on his face immediately relaxed, patted Wen Zhihao on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "You are killing!" Yours is it! ”
"But first of all, you, the captain, have to come back to their senses as soon as possible, we can't afford to spend it with them, we have to get the lead back as soon as possible." Wen Zhihao's thinking has always been very clear at this time.
Zheng Zhi nodded, returned to the back line, first summarized the loopholes in the defense with Feng Xiaoting just now, and then shouted to the back line: "Don't shrink back, everyone is pressed up, they are all gentlemen, we can't lose momentum!" ”
And Wen Zhihao stood in the midfield, calling Liang Xin, Hao Junmin and the three frontline players together for a small meeting to unify their thoughts: "Listen to me, we have to fight for the attack now, and only by re-overtaking as soon as possible is it really beneficial to us, I need to be closer to the penalty area, so the task of midfield organization and passing, Liang Xin, the third brother (Hao Junmin), may need you to share a little more." ”
Liang Xin and Hao Junmin nodded in unison: "No problem." ”
Wen Zhihao then said to several strikers: "Everyone has confidence, one-on-one resolute over him, and the opportunity comes out to shoot directly, don't you want to be heroes?" Now's your chance! Let's see if you can be like Brother Plane...... Oh no, Brother Gao Lin grasped it like that. ”
Wen Zhihao shouted smoothly, and called out Gao Lin's nickname again without paying attention, cast an apologetic look, and changed his words in time.
However, while causing everyone to laugh, the effect is also excellent. Most of the worries and other negative emotions in everyone's hearts have been eliminated, and Wen Zhihao has a sentence that says that in everyone's hearts, who doesn't want to be a hero?
Especially on this occasion, it is an opportunity for everyone to really fight for fame. The attention paid to today's match is absolutely unprecedented in the history of the national team. It can be said that the opportunity to become a national hero is in front of us, and it depends on who can seize it.
Lippi watched Wen Zhihao and Zheng Zhi do what he was going to do, and at the same time worried, his eyes were also relieved, although he was the head coach, the situation on the field was changing rapidly, and many situations were not something he could fully grasp, and like Wen Zhihao and Zheng Zhi, a tactical core, a spiritual leader would play a much greater role in stabilizing the morale of the army in a timely manner on the field.
However, it is already quite difficult for the Chinese team to suppress the opponent from the momentum as it did at the beginning. The individual ability of the Belgian players is obviously better than that of the Chinese team, and in the opening game, the Chinese team just took advantage of the opponent's slow heat to unexpectedly achieve results. Now, although the Chinese team is trying to collectively press from the back line and regain the advantage of the field, the opponent has the stimulation of this goal and is gradually getting better. Therefore, in a short period of time, the Chinese team only showed a more active running position than just now, and the threatening offensive did not increase significantly.
Wen Zhihao is very good at judging the situation, before the scene is stalemate, and the overall rhythm is not completely controlled by the Chinese team, he did not rashly put the position on the premise, which not only will not help the team's attack, but may cause the midfield to be empty, and the opponent will further seize the opportunity.
Wen Zhihao would never do such a stupid thing as being eager for quick success and shooting himself in the foot. This is the change he has made in himself through the experience of playing at a high level in La Liga and the Champions League.
Half an hour later, Belgium's 3-4-3 formation gradually showed that it had the advantage of having one more person in the midfield than China's 4-3-3 formation. Witsel and Marouane Fellaini were primarily responsible for keeping the ball in possession, while Kevin De Bruyne and Nainggolan acted as the starting points for the attack, delivering passes to both flanks.
Belgium had not been active on the flanks before, but that was only a matter of their selection, and after the score was equalised, Belgium began to attack from the wings. The first is to increase the possession of the ball and wear down the fighting spirit of the Chinese team, and on the other hand, strive to blossom in an all-round way, score the second goal as soon as possible, and control the whole game.
The two wingers of the Belgian team, on the left is Wolfsburg striker Origi of the Bundesliga, and on the right is Chelsea winger Eden Hazard.
Deng Hanwen's situation on the right side is slightly better, although it is still difficult for him to keep up with the rhythm of Hazard, but his flexibility is very strong, after being passed a few times, he gradually mastered Hazard's breakthrough characteristics, and there are also times when he succeeds in breaking the ball in front of Hazard.
And the left side of the Chinese team is even worse, left fullback Wang Shenchao faces the "black and hard" Origi, physical fitness, talent and ball quotient are not on the same level, and a photo is directly blown up.
After Origi broke through Wang Shenchao and crossed near the bottom line of the penalty area, Lukaku began to brutally bully Feng Xiaoting and Zheng Zhi again, with the two of them hanging on his body, but it did not affect him to complete the shot at all.
The only thing that the Chinese team is fortunate for is that Lippi sent Wang Dalei who reacted quickly in front of the goal, and it happened that he was in good shape today, this time from close range, Wang Dalei fell to the ground quickly, put his body in front of the goal, and blocked Lukaku's potentially fatal kick with his stomach. And the second reaction was very fast, and he quickly pounced forward to collect the ball in his arms.
The Chinese fans in the stands burst into applause for the save, and Wang Dalei's performance was still in line with what fans had always known about him - when he was in good shape, he could play at the top level and give a lot of wonderful saves.
And Wang Dalei's next move was very smart, directly holding the ball and shrinking in front of the goal, covering his stomach and falling to the ground. It looks like he's been injured, and it's not light.
However, through the slow-motion replay, even the viewer in front of the TV could perceive that Lukaku's shot was not too powerful under the interference of the defenders, and it was completely impossible to cause any substantial damage to the goalkeeper. This scene is completely something that Wang Dalei can play by himself.
Of course, why is Wang Dalei's performance very smart? Because he made good use of the rules, the goalkeeper was injured and the game had to be suspended, which was an opportunity to interrupt the rhythm of the Belgian team's on-the-go attack and create time for timely communication between the coaching staff and the field.
The Belgian commentator was indignant: "Is Lukaku's shot powerful? Are there any hurtful movements in front of the goal? None of them! So the goalkeeper of the Chinese team is completely performing, although his acting skills are indeed passable, but this is a shameful behavior that is not needed on the football field! ”
The Belgian commentator is indignant, but if the Chinese team is besieging Belgium now, Courtois makes such a choice, presumably he will be the same as CCTV commentator He Wei, who thinks that this is a completely legitimate move for the benefit of the team.
For the two sides that are fighting on the football field, there is no fairness and justice, the so-called right and wrong are just a matter of position.
……
A few minutes later, Wang Dalei got up from the ground, and looking at his lively appearance, he knew that there was no problem.
And taking advantage of the time just now, Lippi has completed the next stage of tactical strengthening through a series of gestures, which can be summed up in one sentence: create space for Wen Zhihao.
This is the Chinese team's bottom-of-the-box tactic, but it is also the most inexplicable tactic, because Wen Zhihao's demand for space is not high, and when all the players start to take the initiative to block defenders for him and deliberately create space, the opponent will really have a headache.
For example, this attack after the resumption of the game......
Wang Dalei gave full play to his ultra-long-range hand throwing the ball to launch an attack, crossed the opponent's forward line and midfield, and the distance was more than 50 meters, and directly found Gao Lin who was stranded in the front court. Gao Lin didn't stop the ball, and made a short pass diagonally, and Wen Zhihao stepped forward at high speed on that route and got the ball smoothly.
Wen Zhihao's sprint speed is indeed the most powerful counterattack weapon of the Chinese team, whether it is Fellaini or Witsel, the speed of the single fight cannot keep up with Wen Zhihao, but with the lesson of the first goal, this time Belgium is decisive, Vertonghen is still fighting against Gao Lin just now, seeing Wen Zhihao suddenly kill, he didn't want to think about it, he threw Gao Lin directly, turned around and hugged Wen Zhihao's shoulder, this time the force was very great, because he was determined to leave Wen Zhihao in place.
Wen Zhihao suddenly destroyed the center of gravity in the face of the opponent in the process of high-speed travel, and the result was naturally as the opponent wished, falling to the ground, and at the same time the referee's whistle also sounded, and the foul was blown without dispute.
At the same time, Chilean referee Bascunana decisively showed Vertonghen a yellow card warning, and Vertonghen was also very interesting. One is that he knows that he has ruined an obvious offensive opportunity for the Chinese team from behind, and any referee will not tolerate this kind of foul, and there is little room for argument about this yellow card.
The second reason is that he feels that this yellow card is worth it, and his position is the highest among the three central defenders. Wen Zhihao had just run past him and made a timely move, falling to the ground at a maximum of five steps in front of the centre circle arc and at least 40 metres from the goal. In other words, away from the core area, he felt that this position would not pose any threat even if he gave the Chinese team a set-piece.
Hao Junmin walked towards the ball, but Wen Zhihao stopped him and discussed, "I'll come, is it okay?" ”
Hao Junmin hesitated, the original set-piece in this position had not yet reached the range that Lippi required that it must be handed over to Wen Zhihao, as long as the footwork was good, anyone could kick this kick. In addition, he also wanted to try his footwork, so Wen Zhihao's request made him hesitate.
"I'm sure to create surprises! Believe me once. Wen Zhihao said.
Hao Junmin finally compromised, looked at Wen Zhihao with a wry smile, and pleaded: "If you are really sure, then you can come." But can you give me a chance to perform next time? For your sake, I have been diligent in assisting you. ”
Wen Zhihao nodded: "I will definitely not rob you next time, I just feel that I feel in place at this moment." ”
……
Hao Junmin stepped away, and Wen Zhihao replaced him to stand in front of the ball, his eyes fixed on the direction of the goal.
Maybe this is the unique aura suppression of top stars, Courtois is not low, but it is not as good as Wen Zhihao, so when Wen Zhihao looked at the goal, he felt a sudden feeling of danger for no reason, and a sense of danger began to spread in his heart.
He Wei was still saying that it was very difficult for Wen Zhihao's ball to hang directly into the penalty area, and the Belgian team had more high points in the penalty area than the Chinese team. At this time, Wen Zhihao suddenly exerted his strength and directly bombarded the goal.
All the commentators stopped their voices and looked at Wen Zhihao's choice in shock, and after a second, they reacted and shouted: "Shoot!" ”
Courtois saw the ball go straight to the top of his left-hand head, felt the speed of the ball, his pupils shrank suddenly, and almost instantly, his body popped straight away.
However, Wen Zhihao didn't intend to give him any chance this time, the part was very accurate, the ball with an inward spin, the angle was enough, and he hit a sharp fall, bounced off the left post, and bounced into the goal behind Courtois.
The scene was quiet for a moment at this moment, and then the Chinese fans directly brought the momentum to the top. All the Chinese media were ecstatic.
The Belgian players looked incredulous, and the head coach Martinez looked confused, they had been reminded by the national media before the game, and he also reminded the goalkeeper to take precautions.
But unexpectedly, they were afraid of something, but they were still stabbed by Wen Zhihao in a way that they were already mentally prepared for.
And the Belgian media is smothered in the chest, and there is really the urge to explode in public and scold a "FUCK", feeling that I have worked hard to probe before the game, but it has no effect, and the team still does not pay enough attention to it.
