Chapter 273: True Red
readx;
Chu Zhongtian's victory over Park Ji-sung was a microcosm of the game, and the Chinese commentators showed the passionate side of the audience who complained about their lack of passion in their commentary. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ InfoThe Chinese fans, both at the scene and in front of the TV, cheered and applauded all the time.
It was a match that made everyone excited.
Under Chu Zhongtian's stimulation, his teammates also played perhaps their best.
Everyone says that the World Cup qualifiers are the main event, but at the moment this game is the real highlight. World Cup qualifiers are going to be played for two years, and a lot of things can happen in the process that no one could have predicted. The Asian Cup is a tournament system, concentrated in this month, and if you dedicate your best form, you can get a good result, which is much more stable than the income of the World Cup qualifiers.
In the 62nd minute, Chu Zhongtian turned his back to the direction of the attack and leaned on Park Ji-sung to catch the ball. He didn't stop the ball when it came, but used the outside of his left foot to move the ball to the right side, and at the same time turned and ran forward. It was at this time that he tripped over Park Ji-sung's outstretched foot.
The referee's whistle sounded.
The Korean commentator slapped the table and excitedly shouted, "That's right!" That's right! It's long overdue! Our people were too polite to him! Zhao Guanglai should ask the players to foul the captain of the Chinese team! β
The referee blew Park Ji-sung for a foul, but Chu Zhongtian didn't appreciate it very much, he walked up to the referee and told him that it was advantageous for the attacker just now, and he shouldn't blow it like this, he didn't care about being fouled, as long as the ball was at the feet of our team.
The referee was not impressed by his statement, shook his head and motioned for him to go back, and the Chinese team was going to take a free kick.
Deng Zhuoxiang's free kick was directly hoisted to the back corner of the goal, with a slightly greater force, and finally floated directly out of the bottom line.
If the referee doesn't blow the foul, Chu Zhongtian's ball is assigned to the side, and it can already form a cross, and the threat of the cross in front of the goal is even greater.
The referee seemed to have stopped the foul behavior of the South Korean team and protected Chu Zhongtian. But Chu Zhongtian doesn't need his protection at all, as long as he can send the football into the opponent's goal, it doesn't matter if he is tackled by Park Ji-sung.
β»β»β»After attacking wildly for a while, Chu Zhongtian began to slow down his pace.
South Korea also got the chance to attack. was beaten by the Chinese team before, and the South Korean team had long wanted to change the color of their clothes. How can such an opportunity be passed up now?
Led by Park Ji-sung, the South Korean team launched an offensive against the Chinese team's half.
The Korean commentator was also resurrected: "That's it! Republic of Korea! Rush!! β
Where did you think of it, this was actually deliberate by Chu Zhongtian. He knows that if you keep a rhythm, it won't help you score goals. At this time, take the initiative to show weakness and let the South Korean team attack, and their back line will have a gap to take advantage of.
Of course, this is a bit of a risk, and the South Korean team's attack is not a showcase. Therefore, during this time, Chu Zhongtian continued to devote himself fully to defense.
In the 70th minute, the South Korean team launched an offensive and hit the 30-meter area of the Chinese team. But when Li Qinglong was cutting inward, the football was stopped by Yang Hao. After stopping it, Yang Hao immediately passed the football to Chu Zhongtian, who was running forward.
When Chu Zhongtian received the ball, there was Park Zhixing following him, Chu Zhongtian took the football diagonally forward, and then cut his body crosswise, stuck Park Zhixing behind him, Park Zhixing saw that the other party forcibly overtook in front of him, and hurriedly braked, because if he didn't brake, he would hit it directly, and when the time came, he would definitely be sentenced to a tripping foul behind his back, and a yellow card would not be able to run.
Chu Zhongtian knew that if he did this, Park Ji-sung would inevitably brake sharply, so he took advantage of this to get rid of Park Ji-sung. Then he continued to lead forward, while Gao Lin was inserting diagonally from the other side. South Korea's defenders didn't care about looking at Gao Lin who was running to pick up, so they ran to Chu Zhongtian, there were two pursuers behind him, and there were three people in front of him to intercept, and the entire South Korean back line almost surrounded Chu Zhongtian, Chu Zhongtian looked like their core, they had to run around Chu Zhongtian.
After Chu Zhongtian saw Gao Lin's running position, he attracted enough Korean players, and he knew that it was time. So he pushed a through ball, and the ball passed between the two South Korean defenders and fell behind them, and Gao Lin cut through the South Korean defense diagonally and received the ball.
Single Knife!
Gao Lin burst into the penalty area after receiving the ball!
"The Chinese team won another single knife! Nice pass! Nice positioning! β
South Korea's goalkeeper Jung Sung-ryong hurriedly abandoned the goal.
Gao Lin planned to pass the goalkeeper, but unfortunately his movements at his feet did not go smoothly, and the football was not far enough, Zheng Chenglong fell to the ground and pushed the football out with his hand!
"Oh - what a pity! What a pity! β
Although there was no goal, it made the Chinese fans in front of the stands and TV very excited, and they continued to play according to this performance, and the victory of this game was the Chinese team.
"Come on, Chinese team! The Chinese team scored one!! Such shouts completely suppressed the "Republic of Korea" of the South Korean fans.
Gao Lin wasted a single knife opportunity, he held his head in his hands and was annoyed, but after the chagrin, he still didn't forget to give Chu Zhongtian a thumbs up and thank him for this wonderful pass.
β»β»β» The South Korean team attacked aggressively, they were only one goal behind, as long as they can score a goal, they can bring the two sides back to the same running line, this temptation is too great, so they have no time to care about whether the empty space left behind them after the big attack will be used by the Chinese team. You must know that there is a Chu Zhongtian in the Chinese team who is very good at seizing opportunities and taking advantage of opportunities.
The current South Korean team has no other way but to attack, and the Chinese team insists on defending and counterattacking as Gao Hongbo said at halftime, harassing the South Korean team's defense with sharp counterattacks again and again, so that they cannot put all their strength into the attack.
In the 77th minute, South Korea won two corners in a row, but neither of them scored. The second corner kick came out, and it was directly pushed out by Dewey in the middle.
Gao Lin received the ball outside the penalty area, and he stopped the football with his chest, and it was this short time to stop the ball, and Chu Zhongtian had already rushed out of front of the goal. Gao Lin saw him and quickly passed the football over.
Chu Zhongtian is the core of the Chinese team, as long as he can, everyone will pass the football to him, and he will not hesitate at all. He has used his performances to earn absolute authority and high status within the team.
Chu Zhongtian didn't stop Gao Lin's pass to him, he directly slipped the football out, and then accelerated to rush forward, relying on a change in rhythm, he waded past the Korean player Li Qinglong in front of him, and then continued to rush forward.
"The counterattack of the Chinese team is coming!" Duan Bin shouted excitedly.
The Chinese fans in the stands also cheered, building momentum for the Chinese team's offense.
"Chinese team, come on! Chu Zhongtian, come on!! β
Just like a signal, seeing Chu Zhongtian rushing forward with the ball, other Chinese team players also rushed forward. Although the game has been going on for 77 minutes, this is the time when everyone's physical exertion is the most exhausted and exhausted. But no one wants to waste such a scoring opportunity, so even if you grit your teeth and insist, you have to rush forward.
After passing the ball, Gao Lin turned around and ran forward, and Deng Zhuoxiang, Hao Junmin, Yang Hao and Wang Song, who were still defending in the penalty area just now, all rushed forward.
Chu Zhongtian didn't slow down and wait for his teammates, he just turned the straight dribble into a diagonal dribble, which gave his teammates time to plug in. At the same time, he also gave himself more options to pass the ball, making the South Korean team unguardable.
The South Korean players are now in a dilemma - if they don't defend Chu Zhongtian, he can take the ball straight to Huanglong and score; Go defend Chu Zhongtian, the other Chinese team players are no one to take care of, Chu Zhongtian can easily divide the football into the air, no matter how you look at it, it is dangerous...... In the end, the defenders of the South Korean team made the same choice - Chu Zhongtian, who went to pounce on the ball. In attack, of course, it is the player with the ball who is the most threatening, and in terms of personal ability, the other players of the Chinese team are at the same level as Chu Zhongtian, even if Chu Zhongtian distributes the football to his teammates, his teammates may waste his passes. Just like Gao Lin just now, such a good single knife, didn't he also waste it?
The South Korean player just started to run to Chu Zhongtian, and Chu Zhongtian passed the football out. He passed it to Hao Junmin on the side.
At this moment, the person who needed to focus on defense became Hao Junmin who took the ball, and two Korean players turned around to fight Hao Junmin. Fortunately, Hao Junmin is on the side and will not shoot directly, they still have time to make up for it.
After Chu Zhongtian finished passing the ball, he continued to insert it, which was to respond in the middle, and the intention was very obvious. It is impossible for Koreans not to see that Park Ji-sung firmly follows Chu Zhongtian and does not leave an inch.
Chu Zhongtian entered the forbidden area, and he also followed into the forbidden area.
Chu Zhongtian made an emergency stop, and he followed...... Wait a minute? Stop?!
Park Ji-sung turned his head and looked at Chu Zhongtian, who had already arrived behind him and distanced himself from him.
It's a way to get rid of it!
Damn it!
He turned his head to look at the side for the first time, and just saw Hao Junmin, who played in Schalke 04 in the Bundesliga, crossed with his feet, and the football flew from behind the South Korean defender Zhao Yongxiang who was defending him, and the landing point was Chu Zhongtian in the back!
Park Ji-sung turned his head again and watched the football fly to Chu Zhongtian, he had already set up a posture and waited...... Chu Zhongtian relied on an emergency stop and retreated to shake off Park Ji-sung, who had been following him, and then stood still, used his right foot as a support, leaned his body to the right, picked up his left foot, and volleyed directly in the direction where the football was flying!
Zheng Chenglong, the goalkeeper of the South Korean team, was originally the front point, watching the football fly to the back, and quickly turned around and pounced on the back point, and at this time, Chu Zhongtian's left foot hit the football.
The football did not fly to the back corner of the goal, but flew directly to the place where Zheng Chenglong was just now!
The soccer ball roared into the goal and slammed into the net!
"Ball-in-it!!"
"This is the counterattack of the Chinese team! Chu Zhongtian passed to Hao Junmin, and Hao Junmin broke through the cross! Chu Zhongtian! Volley - Volley! Knock on the door!! Strike! Pretty! 2:0οΌ Pretty! 2:0οΌοΌ β
"Chu Zhongtian! Attaboy! The Chinese team leads South Korea 2:0! In the seventy-eighth minute, two goals ahead! We've won! We've definitely won! Congratulations to the Chinese team, congratulations to Coach Gao, and congratulations to all the Chinese fans! We are about to witness the most glorious moment in the history of Chinese football - reaching the top of Asia! At the same time, congratulations to Chu Zhongtian, this is his fifth goal in this Asian Cup, with this goal, he will win the Golden Boot award alone, no need to share it with anyone! β
"Long live the Chinese team!!" Huang Jianxiang was controversial four years ago for chanting "Long live Italy" on live television, and this time he will definitely not cause any more controversy. If shouting long live for your country can still cause controversy, it means that those who dispute must have something wrong with their brains.
β»β»β» The narrator's passionate voice came from the TV: "Chu Zhongtian...... Lift your feet! Hit the goal - good shot!! β
"Oh!!" Cheers rang out in front of the TV. But it wasn't the only one, there were even louder cheers outside the window. There's a barbecue stand down there, and even though it's early in the morning, there's still a lot of people gathered there to watch the game. Like the people in the room, the people outside jumped up, applauded, and cheered.
"Fire! Firecrackers! "People were still shouting, and sure enough, the owner of the barbecue stall brought a string of firecrackers from the house.
Soon, the crackling sound of firecrackers rang out.
Farther away, a cannon shot was suddenly heard. The people in the room turned their heads to look, and through the window, they saw a brilliant red flower rising in the night sky. Immediately afterward, more fireworks rose into the air, reflecting the night sky in red.
"Today is January 31, Beijing time, and there are three days left on the first day of the Lunar New Year, our Spring Festival! With the victory of this game, we Chinese fans can finally have a heartwarming Spring Festival! Chinese football has not blocked everyone during the Spring Festival for two consecutive years, which is really gratifying! "There was a staccato sound on the TV.
"Don't eat dumplings when you sleep for the New Year? Hahaha!! β
"That's right, eat dumplings! Eat Korean stuffed dumplings!! Ha! β
"Happy Chinese New Year, Chinese football! Happy Chinese New Year, Chinese fans! β
β»β»β» China has been completely ignited by Chu Zhongtian's goal, and everyone is desperate and forgetful to celebrate. The same is true for the Chinese players on the field.
Chu Zhongtian, who scored the goal, ran all the way to the stands where Chinese fans gathered, and as he ran, he slapped the five-star red flag on his chest with his hand. Every time I slap it, I stick out two fingers to make a gesture, which means both "two goals" and "v".
Behind him, followed by the Chinese players who were so excited that their expressions were distorted, they caught up with Chu Zhongtian under the stands and then hugged him. Chu Zhongtian shouted in the crowd: "Wait a while, brothers! Let's thank our fans! β
His words reminded the rest of his teammates, and everyone let him go, and they lined up in front of the stands to thank the Chinese fans in the stands. They held hands, one bow, two bows, three bows!
Fans in the stands responded with the national anthem chanted.
After singing, they gave a thumbs up and shouted: "Good job, Chinese team!" Attaboy!! β
In this situation, the last time the players of the Chinese football team were in the East Asian semifinals in Japan, they also defeated the South Korean team. But that time it was just a win, and this time not only South Korea, but also the Asian Cup!
β»β»β» Compared with the crazy celebration of the Chinese team, the players of the South Korean team stood on the spot one by one. They definitely didn't expect that the Chinese team, who had always been beaten by them in the past and couldn't find the north, and had never been beaten with their heads in their heads, could lead them 2:0 in such an important game, leaving them time for at most fifteen minutes, in which they had to score two goals in a row, and at the same time could not let the opponent score. If it was the previous Chinese team, it would not be a problem at all, they could give the Chinese team countless black three minutes, five minutes. But today's Chinese team, it will be difficult to do this...... "Shame!" It's a shame!! The South Korean commentator couldn't help but curse after seeing Chu Zhongtian break through the door of the South Korean team for the second time.
South Korean football has assembled the strongest squad, recalled all the returnees, and captain Park Ji-sung gambled on the last chance of his career, just to regain the Asian Cup championship that had been lost for 51 years. When the final opponent was released, the whole South Korea rejoiced, a "won" voice, this opponent is simply the best, their bitter master, who has been invincible against them for 32 years, in the face of such a weak opponent, isn't the championship in the bag?
Who would have thought that their space battleship would capsize in the small gutter at the door of their home...... Park Ji-sung didn't give up, he was still shouting at his stunned teammates: "There's still a chance!" There's still a chance! The game isn't over yet! We still have a chance!! β
However, there were not many people who responded to him, and most of his teammates were stunned by Chu Zhongtian's thunderous blow.
He ran to the referee again, pointed to the Chinese players who were celebrating wildly, and reminded the referee that they had been celebrating for too long.
β»β»β»In the end, the Chinese team returned to the court at the urging of the referee and restarted the game.
On the way back, Chu Zhongtian said to his teammates around him: "The game is not over yet, brothers!" There are about fifteen minutes left, and if we are not careful, we will lose the game! Remember those black three minutes, black five minutes? History must not be allowed to repeat itself! Brothers, hold on for the last fifteen minutes, the championship trophy is ours! Gritted his teeth and fought with them!! β
The South Korean team, which was two goals behind, launched a wave of offensive against the Chinese team's goal as soon as it kicked off. The Chinese team retreated across the board, and even center strikers like Gao Lin returned to the penalty area and acted as central defenders.
Gao Hongbo also reacted quickly, and he had not made any substitutions before. At this time, he began to make frequent substitutions, replacing Hao Junmin, who was not good at defense, and replacing defender Li Jianbin. Then he replaced the front half Deng Zhuoxiang with Huang Bowen. There is only one Gao Lin left in front to fight back, more often the Chinese team is to drive forward, and then let Gao Lin fight for football alone, most of the time he can't get the football, even if he gets it, he often faces the ferocious pressing of several Korean players, and finally loses the ball.
But it doesn't matter, Gao Lin has no other role than delaying a little time, and if he can let the football stay in the South Korean team's half for a little more time, he will complete the task.
The South Korean team also deployed troops, replaced defenders, and replaced strikers, and South Korean head coach Zhao Guanglai had to fight.
In the last ten minutes, the Chinese team's goal was full of danger. The Chinese fans, who were still celebrating just now, held their breath at this moment, engrossed, staring at the stadium without blinking, and they didn't care how fast their hearts were beating. They were afraid that they would be equalized by South Korea, so they would lose all their efforts. You must know that at the last moment, when the victory turns into a draw, let alone the Chinese team, even if it is a world-class team, the morale will be greatly damaged in such a situation.
In the 88th minute, the South Korean team almost scored, their header hit the goal, hanging over the head of goalkeeper Yang Zhi, but let Chu Zhongtian kick out with a very difficult barb in front of the goal line. The South Korean player signaled that the football had entered, but the referee shook his head to indicate that it had not entered. Judging from the slow motion that followed, it is true that half of the football has crossed the goal line, but the current rule is that the goal must be crossed as a whole to be considered valid, so this goal does not count.
In the end, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game.
Because the sound of the scene was too loud and noisy, the players on both sides did not hear the referee's whistle for the first time, until the Chinese players who saw the referee's gesture raised their arms, everyone reacted that the game was over, and the Chinese team defeated South Korea and won the Asian Cup for the first time in history!
At this moment, the sound of firecrackers celebrating the victory resounded across the land of China, and the Chinese New Year seemed to have arrived in advance.
The stands of Qatar's Khalifa Stadium became a sea of red, and the bright red swept the entire stands, and the dazzling red completely overshadowed the orange jerseys of South Korean fans, hitting the eyes and hearts of every Chinese person.
This is the real red!
