Chapter 847: Top Eight (Plus Update)

China's opener was not only the goal of Yang Xu, who was very excited, but also the assist Zhang Linpeng, who searched the statistics of the FIFA website before the start of the game, and he had previously tied for the top spot in the assists list with Germany's Mesut Ozil and Brazil's Kaka with three assists, and Yang Xu's goal brought his number of assists to four.

Other words...... Zhang Linpeng has become the number one on the assist list!

Liu Jianhong, who commented on the goal, took advantage of his spare time to look down at the various numbers that had been remarked before the game, and he became excited again and reported the good news to the fans who watched the live TV broadcast across the country: "After Ailo scored a hat trick in the group stage of the World Cup against Serbia and topped the scorer list, Zhang Linpeng, the young player who assisted Yang Xu to score in this game, also surpassed the core of the German team, Ozil and Brazil's Kaka, with this assist, and became the first in the assist list of this World Cup!" ”

Chinese fans watching live TV are boiling again, the time is a little more than ten o'clock in the evening, there is no need to worry about disturbing the people, plus the bombardment propaganda of major CCTV stations before the game, as long as the Chinese people who watch TV know that the Chinese team is very good - forced to reach the top 16 of the World Cup, and the opponent in the 1/8 final is the United States, which has a fundamental contradiction, which naturally increases a lot of ratings.

In addition, the CCTV news broadcast at 7 o'clock in prime time every night will give about 20 seconds to report on the Chinese team's preparation for the World Cup 1/8 finals, and most Chinese at this time are watching this World Cup 1/8 finals, naturally they will not care about the sudden burst of cheers, but will ask these "Did the Chinese team score?" "Was it the handsome Iroh who entered? ”



This shows how popular China is at home to reach the round of 16 of the World Cup.

Of course, these Chinese players who are abroad and are wholeheartedly facing the game are not aware of it......

They only know to show their best level in front of the TV, so that all Chinese fans know that Chinese can also play football well!

The Chinese team that scored did not slow down the pace of attack, and Gao Hongbo, who was standing on the sidelines, continued to ask the Chinese players on the field to maintain their offensive momentum after the restart, and must completely kill this game......

The head coach of the American team, Bradley, frowned, and when he learned that the 1/8 final was against the Chinese team and not Serbia or Germany, he was full of energy, in his mind, only Iello in the Chinese team can pose enough threat to the team, as for the other players? It's just a make-up......

But as the game began, he slowly discovered that the other Chinese players were not making up the numbers......

The next game was painful for Bradley and the American team, although they defended closely against Ailo according to the pre-game arrangement, but there was always a mistake in Baimi, coupled with Ailo's good set-piece skills, they also led them to defend Ailo, but they did not dare to have obvious foul actions, otherwise the referee on duty Hungarian Kase would not hesitate to blow the whistle.

Compared to Iello's current threat of athletic warfare, his play from set-pieces will be more threatening, so much so that the players on the field of the United States team are miserable.

Goalkeeper Howard was the busiest player on the pitch in the period after China took the lead, keeping the ball open with high saves and luck.

However, the American fans in the stands erupted in huge exclamations one after another, for fear that the goal would suddenly fall in some time period......

It was only then that they knew why Iroh had shown such confidence before the game.

Originally...... This Chinese team has a level that surpasses that of the American team!

※※※

"Half of the first half of the game time, the Chinese team is ahead, but the warriors on the court are not discouraged, the game is a ninety minutes of battle, and now only 1/4 of the time has passed, we still have a lot of opportunities in the next game, as long as we withstand these waves of offensive of the Chinese team, so many Novan, Dempsey...... It will create a great opportunity for zào! ”

The American ESPN commentator said emotionally.

However, many American fans who watched the live TV broadcast began to scold - mother, and withstood several waves of offensives, and they no longer know how many waves they have been attacked!

"Yes, that's right...... This is how to defend, and in the face of Ai, the number one star of the Chinese team, you have to leave enough space......"

As soon as the ESPN commentator finished speaking, the American defensive midfielder Clark in the camera chose to fight and retreat while defending Iroh's dribble, his body weight pressed very low, and his eyes were fixed on the football at Iro's feet.

In the process of continuous retreat, Clark has forgotten where he is, at this moment, the center of gravity of Ello's body shifted to the left, and the left shoulder sank, Clark subconsciously moved slightly, but the outside of Ello's right foot suddenly moved the ball to the right, without even looking at the goal, and directly picked up his right foot by feeling!

Captain and centre-back Bocanegra was too late to make a block, and the ball flew around the tip of his outstretched left leg towards goal.

Because Iroh was carrying the ball on the left rib, Howard moved his position from the middle to the near corner in order to prevent Iroh from suddenly shooting from a distance, so when he saw that Aillo's long-range shot after passing was straight to the far corner, his heart was half cold, but he didn't give up, and his body stubbornly moved two steps to the left.

At this time, the football in mid-air out of a graceful arc has crossed the penalty point, Howard, with his rich experience, knows that as long as the ball hits the goal, it will not be far from ten, his mind pauses, his left hand is raised in vain, and his left foot is half kneeling on the turf in front of the goal, as if begging for forgiveness......

'Hmmmmmmm ’

The soccer ball grabs the far corner of the goal and plunges into the arms of the snow-white net.

In the 26th minute of the first half of the game, Ailuo's goal helped the Chinese team lead by two goals, and the Chinese fans in the stands broke out into huge cheers again!

They all know it's a good sign!

Iroh didn't get too excited about the goal, just stood there and waved his fist, then turned and waved in the direction of the Chinese team's family cheering group.

Despite this, but helplessly due to the excitement of other teammates, Wu Xi jumped directly on Iro's back, and Iroh also stumbled two steps because of this, fortunately, his next game was very deep, otherwise he would be embarrassed in front of tens of thousands of fans and hundreds of millions of fans on TV......

"Elo's brilliant breakthrough and decisive shot to score the goal that extended the score! The Chinese team leads the American team 2:0!! And...... It was also his seventh goal of the tournament!! Liu Jianhong's excited voice changed: "Iroh is a superstar who turns decay into a magical superstar, ordinary players don't have this kind of deterrent power at all, Clark is obviously afraid of Iroh to make set-pieces, so he will keep retreating while waiting for the support of his teammates......"

Duan Xuan said with a smile: "That's right, Iro's upper body shaking action just now will be done by any offensive player, but his explosiveness is super strong, and he shoots with a slight flick of the ball to the right with the outside of his right foot, decisive and accurate, and goalkeeper Howard can't reach it!" This 1/8 final can be said to be the easiest game for the Chinese team!! ”

At the same time, thousands of Chinese fans sitting in front of their televisions raised their arms and chanted.

After experiencing the thrill of playing Serbia last time, Chinese fans would like to see the Chinese team win the game easily......

Football games need to be thrilling to be exciting, but ...... You can't be 'greedy', especially the team you care about.

※※※

During the restart of the game, many commentators in the on-site commentary booth were still praising Iroh's goal.

Of course, there is more of a discussion about how many goals Iello will score in this World Cup, and before the game is over, he is at the top of the table with seven goals, while David Villa, who is second, has only four goals......

If it is placed in the league, it is estimated that three goals can be overtaken in one game, but this is the World Cup!

The so-called World Cup has no weak team, especially in the current stage of 16 into 8, the opponent is more powerful, not to mention, the opponent is more focused on defense, after all, when it comes to the knockout stage, no one wants to be eliminated, and it has become more difficult for those players who want to compete for the Golden Boot to score goals......

It is worth mentioning that BBC commentator Lineker said at the end of the first half: "Even if the Chinese team is eliminated in the 1/8 finals, then Ai will also win the Golden Boot Award of this World Cup!" ”

In the blink of an eye, the first half of the game was declared over at the referee's whistle.

Fifteen minutes into the halftime under the eloquent talk of the commentator in the on-site commentary seat, in the blink of an eye, the second half of the rematch of the side.

The U.S. team, which was two goals behind, naturally spared no effort to strengthen the attack, otherwise it would be eliminated from the competition.

However, they also kept their back hands and tried to limit the freedom of the Chinese team to take the players when switching from offense to defense, and did not let them organize effective counterattacks lightly.

This change of tactics was still threatening in the first 20 minutes of the second half, but gradually lost its power as the anxiety and fitness caused by the failure to narrow the scoreline gradually lost its power.

In the 73rd minute of the game, the Chinese team launched a long counterattack by Wu Xi directly off the ball, and after Iello accelerated up, Clark and Bradlilah Jr. did not pull it, and a red lightning swept at high speed on the left side of the Royal Bafken Stadium, raising the frenzied atmosphere of the stadium again.

Iroh used his speed to force the ball from the wing to the middle, and then faked a real pass from 25 meters from goal, and Hao Junmin, who was inserted in the back, drove the ball into the box, Howard was fast, but he was hit by Hao Junmin with a crotch ball, and the ball rolled between his legs into the empty net......

The Chinese team led the American team 3:0.

Everyone knows that the dust has settled on the game, and China is determined to advance to the quarterfinals.

At this moment, the scene, in front of the TV...... As long as the Chinese who bear the imprint of China, they are sincerely excited.

It's a little pity that Du Wei made a mistake in the last minute of the return pass and tackled Dempsey behind in the penalty area, and the referee decisively awarded a penalty and a red card.

In the end, the Chinese team defeated the American team 3:1.
