Chapter 271: The Second Boot That Fell
readx;
Park Ji-sung has been waiting for the second boot to fall, but Chu Zhongtian is not in a hurry, he is watching the Korean team. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe morale of the Korean team is very strong, and he is not in a hurry to counterattack, but intends to use a solid defense to wear down the opponent's sharpness first.
If you lead the team to attack at this time, the result is likely to be to arouse the fighting spirit of the Koreans, and then they will get bigger and stronger. The strength of the South Korean team is above that of the Chinese team, and the smart thing to do is to avoid its edge.
Chu Zhongtian decided to wait and wait for the South Korean team's offensive to pass.
In the first fifteen minutes of the game, he has always been defense-oriented, rarely attacking, and occasionally attacking is to use long passes to hit the back of the South Korean team, but the Chinese team's striker's personal ability is still a little worse, and such a ball is not handled well.
The South Korean commentators saw that the South Korean team suppressed the Chinese team, bombarded the Chinese team's half of the court, and yelled when they were excited to comment.
"Park Ji-sung! His passing is really sharp! ”
"Li Qinglong broke through the defense of the Chinese team again, crossed!! Oops! It's a shame to be pushed out ......"
Chinese fans watched the 15-minute game with some trepidation. Although in this Asian Cup, the performance of the Chinese team has impressed them and has a refreshing feeling. However, I will still habitually worry when the Chinese team is in a bad situation. Who made the Chinese team have too many convictions?
This is the final, what if the players of the Chinese team are too stressed to bear it and collapse completely?
Although Chu Zhongtian is here, Chu Zhongtian is only one person, and there are eleven people playing on the field.
The scene they feared didn't happen. Fifteen minutes passed, the score was still 0:0, the Chinese team did not concede a goal, and the South Korean team did not score.
In these fifteen minutes, Chu Zhongtian's defense against Park Ji-sung was quite successful, and Park Ji-sung basically did not make a successful breakthrough when facing him, and he could only rely on passing to organize the attack. Because the overall strength of the South Korean team is stronger than the Chinese team, even if he hands over the football to other teammates, he can pose a threat to the Chinese team's penalty area. Therefore, Chu Zhongtian not only defended his breakthrough, but also guarded his passing. As long as he saw that Park Ji-sung was about to catch the ball, he immediately went up and interfered with him.
Park Ji-sung behaved very ordinarily under Chu Zhongtian's stubborn letting go.
Before the game, everyone had high expectations, and during the game, the Korean commentators kept shouting the name of their captain, but Park Ji-sung's performance was not as good as everyone thought.
Of course, the South Korean can comfort himself in this way: "Although our core performance is average, at least he has contained the core of the Chinese team." Look at that Chu Zhongtian, he hasn't participated in the attack much until now. The Chinese team, which can only defend, will be breached by us sooner or later. ”
And the commentator of the Chinese team is also worried about the state of the Chinese team: "Chu Zhongtian puts too much energy on defense, which is not good. The Chinese team needs him to organize the attack, if we don't attack, how can we win? ”
※※※ Chu Zhongtian observed for fifteen minutes and found that the offensive of the South Korean team had weakened. Attacking for fifteen minutes in a row, even if it is the world's top team, they must adjust their rhythm and take their breath, otherwise they will not be able to keep up with the physical strength at all.
It was the Chinese team's turn to attack.
Chu Zhongtian made a secret gesture to his teammates, signaling that everyone was going to attack.
There was no such set in the national team before, which Chu Zhongtian brought back from Hoffenheim. Gestures are needed to make his teammates understand what he's thinking and what he's going to do, while still not letting his opponent know. Just like American football, their tactics are the most complex in the world, and in order for their teammates to know what tactics to use during this time, some corresponding codes and gestures must be developed.
Everyone understood Chu Zhongtian's gestures.
Next, when the Chinese team got the ball, Chu Zhongtian did not directly make a long pass to Gao Lin in front, but pretended to pass the ball to the side, deceived Park Zhixing's center of gravity to move slightly to that side, followed by Chu Zhongtian's right foot to pull the football back, followed by a trip forward, and broke through from Park Zhixing's side!
Park Ji-sung's reaction was fast enough, and when he saw Chu Zhongtian breaking through from him, he immediately turned around and chased after him, like a hunting dog, biting tightly.
Chu Zhongtian didn't run in a hurry or slowly, anyway, he always pressed Park Ji-sung behind him. It was only when he attracted another South Korean player to come up and defend him that he passed the ball out.
Rely on your own individual ability to disrupt the opponent's defense, and then find open passes to break through the opponent's defense. It's not a clever approach, but it works.
Chu Zhongtian's pass reached the very uncomfortable place of the Korean team - the ribs. The place between the central defender and the full-back is the easiest to become the breakthrough point, because the central defender should shrink to the middle, while the full-back should pay attention to the side, the gap between the two will be larger than other places, plus the point of defense is either to hold the middle, or to defend the side, the ribs often become a place that everyone ignores, so the effect of attacking here has been good.
Chu Zhongtian's kick passed to the ribs of the South Korean team, making the central defenders and fullbacks of the South Korean team feel uncomfortable at the same time, and they couldn't help but defend. Two people return to the defense at the same time, so Gao Lin, the striker of the Chinese team who receives the ball in the ribs, has two choices, one is to pass the ball to the side, and the other is to pass to the middle.
After Chu Zhongtian finished passing the ball, he inserted it diagonally into the middle.
Of course, his actions made the Korean team very nervous, and everyone knew that Chu Zhongtian could shoot from a distance in the middle, so everyone paid attention to Chu Zhongtian.
Gao Lin really passed the football to Chu Zhongtian. But Chu Zhongtian didn't shoot, he didn't even stop the ball, but directly passed the football to the right side with his left foot. South Korea's defensive focus had just shifted to the middle, and so quickly the ball ran to the side, and their reaction could not keep up. The Chinese team got a chance!
"Beautiful!" Duan Bin, a Chinese commentator, couldn't help but applaud. "Vision, awareness, and skill, all without a problem!"
Receiving the football on the wing was the right midfielder of the Chinese team, Hao Junmin. He can be regarded as a relatively outstanding player in the national team who plays for Schalke 04 in Germany, although he is only a substitute player in Schalke 04, but he is a person who has been trained in advanced European football concepts, and he can be more or less the same step as Chu Zhongtian in terms of thinking.
So after Gao Lin passed the football to Chu Zhongtian, instead of him, he didn't stop, but continued to move forward, because he knew that Chu Zhongtian would pass the football over. Just mobilizing the opponent's defense line back and forth, this is one of Chu Zhongtian's best things.
Sure enough, he got the ball!
"Hao Junmin!"
After receiving the ball, Hao Junmin did not have a defender of the Korean team around him. He broke straight into the South Korean penalty area.
At this time, Korean talents reacted, and everyone flocked to Hao Junmin. Hao Junmin crosses with his feet, and the target is directed at Chu Zhongtian!
At this time, Park Ji-sung, who had been following Chu Zhongtian and did not defend Hao Junmin, stepped forward and pushed the football out.
This was the end of one of the Chinese team's attacks.
It was their first most dangerous attack since the opening, but definitely not the last.
After Park Ji-sung struggled to clear the siege, the football fell to the feet of the South Korean players, and the Koreans launched a new round of offensive, of course, Park Ji-sung also ran up, but it was Chu Zhongtian who ran faster than him.
Watching the players of the Chinese team quickly flock to their backcourt defense like a low tide, Park Ji-sung had this feeling that the Chinese team was going to exert its strength in attack...... No, or Chu Zhongtian is going to attack hard.
The second boot he was waiting for was finally hitting the ground.
※※※ Park Ji-sung felt right, and then the Chinese team suddenly made a strong effort and launched a fierce offensive against the Korean team's half.
This wave of offensive came very suddenly, except for Park Ji-sung, I am afraid that not many people could have expected that the Chinese team, which was still passively beaten just now, would be able to turn over, and under the impetus of Chu Zhongtian, launched wave after wave of offensives against the goal of the South Korean team.
In the twentieth minute, Chu Zhongtian pretended to shoot from outside the penalty area, but pushed the football to the ribs of the South Korean defense. Let Deng Zhuoxiang complete a shot.
Only a minute later, Chu Zhongtian cut off Park Joo-yong's pass to Park Ji-sung in the midfield, and pushed forward with the ball, after encountering obstacles, he played a two-by-one with Gao Lin, and then suddenly shot from a distance of thirty meters from the goal, although the shot was a little positive, but the victory was sudden, plus the power itself is very great, and the football has a fall, although South Korean goalkeeper Zheng Chenglong made a move to catch the ball, but the judgment of the falling point of the football was insufficient, and the football hit the tips of his fingers and bounced up, get out of his hand!
Fortunately, Zheng Chenglong's second reaction was very fast, and he hurriedly leaned forward and pressed the football firmly under him, so he didn't give Gao Lin a chance to make up the shot.
Three minutes later, Chu Zhongtian made a comeback, and it was another long-range shot! This time Zheng Chenglong was forced to make a wonderful flying save, the football was shot out of the bottom line by him, and the Chinese team won a corner kick.
Chu Zhongtian frequently shot from a distance in this game. As if he was fixing the landing point of a cannonball, he was looking for a feeling to break the door.
After the corner kick came out, Chu Zhongtian did not fight for the top in front of the goal, but waited on the periphery, after the football was pushed out by the South Korean defenders, he rushed to the landing point and controlled the football, but did not shoot directly with his feet again, but passed the football back and reorganized the attack.
Park Ji-sung followed and pressed out, and the other Korean players also pressed for offside.
Chu Zhongtian was not in a hurry to pass forward, so if the Korean team made an offside position, it would have no effect on him.
In the final, Chu Zhongtian and the Koreans fought for patience.
Koreans have the pressure to win, and this pressure comes from the outside, and of course there is internal, but the effect from the outside is greater and more obvious. The pressure on the Chinese team to win only comes from within them, and in general the pressure is much less than that of the Koreans. As time goes by, if they are consistently unable to score goals and take the lead, the Koreans become agitated.
They have an advantage over China in terms of historical record, so the Koreans feel they deserve to win. At the same time, the revenge in the East Asian semifinals last year is also indispensable.
Chu Zhongtian grasped the psychology of the South Korean team's eagerness to win and competed with them on the field for patience.
After a period of attacking without scoring, he took the initiative to slow down the tempo. Start more backballs and cross-passes, rip the Korean team out, and then look for openings and holes.
What about the Korean team? It's just that the Chinese team is weak after attacking for a while, this is of course their chance to attack.
In the match with the South Korean team, Gao Hongbo's overall tactics for the whole team were not to attack, but to defend and counterattack. On the basis of solid defense, use counter-attacks to get the winning goal, this game is not too pretty, as long as it can be won.
※※※ After attacking for a while, the Chinese team handed over the initiative, and Park Ji-sung led the South Korean team to give up the onslaught on the hinterland of the Chinese team.
The Chinese team shrank defensively.
Chu Zhongtian continues to play a very important role in the defense. In this Asian Cup, Chu Zhongtian's offensive ability is staggering, so far he has scored three goals, two assists, and ranks second in the scorer list, second only to the first-ranked Japanese player Shinji Kagawa, Shinji Kagawa scored four goals, but his team has been eliminated home, and even the third or fourth finals are not eligible to participate, so his goals are fixed on four goals, Chu Zhongtian still has hope to surpass him and win the Golden Boot Award.
Chu Zhongtian kept trying to shoot from a distance in the final, and he was also looking for a feeling of scoring.
But in this final, so far, everyone has seen more of Chu Zhongtian's defensive ability. In the past few years, he has relied on offense to break through in international football, and everyone has almost forgotten that Chu Zhongtian originally debuted as a defensive player, and his defensive ability is not weak at all.
Park Ji-sung was stalked by Chu Zhongtian, and he played very awkwardly. If you want to shoot, you can hardly find a suitable starting opportunity, and Chu Zhongtian's defense against him is completely all-round.
In the contest of the first person in Asia, Chu Zhongtian currently has the upper hand for the time being.
After curbing Park Ji-sung's play, Chu Zhongtian began to instigate the Chinese team's defensive counterattack.
In the 40th minute, the Chinese team finally seized a chance.
South Korea pressed hard and hoped to score a goal before half-time to take the lead heading into the break.
Their shot was saved by the Chinese team's goalkeeper Yang Zhi and fell to the feet of Chu Zhongtian, who participated in the defense in the penalty area, Chu Zhongtian made a feint to kick the ball off, deceiving the South Korean player's body flash, and Chu Zhongtian was taking the football out of the penalty area.
Then Chu Zhongtian passed the football to Deng Zhuoxiang in front, Deng Zhuoxiang did not turn around, but directly knocked the football back, Chu Zhongtian got rid of the South Korean defenders around him through this pass.
At the same time, the rest of the Chinese players rushed forward and it was a good opportunity to fight back, and they all knew it.
Chu Zhongtian dribbled the ball in the middle, and it looked like he had a lot of passing options. Because of the cooperation of his teammates, he was able to pass the ball on both the wings and in the middle, which increased the difficulty of the Korean players' defense.
Chu Zhongtian didn't pass anyone, and he went forward with the football to kill.
Park Ji-sung kept following him, waiting for an opportunity to break the ball. When Chu Zhongtian approached the forbidden area, he knew that he couldn't wait any longer, so he hurriedly stepped up and got stuck on Chu Zhongtian's forward route, and at the same time used his hands and feet to make a steal.
Chu Zhongtian seemed to expect him to do this, and at the same time as he stepped down to steal, he made a sudden stop, and knocked the football to the left with his right foot from behind, just avoiding Park Ji-sung's steal.
At the same time, he flicked his arm, opened Park Ji-sung's hand that was picking up his clothes, accelerated the start, and shook off Park Ji-sung, who had lost his center of gravity.
Chu Zhongtian, who passed Park Ji-sung, made a long-range shot, deceiving the South Korean defender who was lying in front of him and hurriedly stretched out his feet to stop it.
Chu Zhongtian took the football lightly and gave him over. He's basically on the big penalty line.
Park Ji-sung, who didn't give up, had already caught up from behind, and there was a South Korean defender in front of him who intercepted him, Chu Zhongtian did not continue to pass, but suddenly shot with his feet!
His leg swing was not big, and his calf was quickly withdrawn and he hit the football.
The football flew forward against the turf and ran towards the goal post of the Korean team, and this shot was really tricky!
South Korea's goalkeeper Zheng Chenglong made a save, but Chu Zhongtian's kick was too tricky, he couldn't reach it, and he could only watch the football fly into the goal he guarded...... "The ball is in!" Strike! Good shot! Duan Bin screamed loudly. Chu Zhongtian's shot! It's beautiful! Corner! ”
When the football flew into the goal, the Chinese fans in front of the stadium and the television jumped up, chanting "Long live".
"Brilliant goal! Pretty! It's so beautiful!! Duan Bin was still shouting. In the final of the Asian Cup, the Chinese team led South Korea 1:0! Such a goal was impeccable and flawless! ”
At the same time, on the Internet, in the live broadcast of the portal, Huang Jianxiang, a famous former CCTV commentator, was also bursting with passion: "Chu Zhongtian, pass him!" Attaboy! Again...... Shot! Shot...... The ball is in! Ay! The ball is in! Pretty! The ball is in! Very beautiful!! Chu Zhongtian has made meritorious service! Chu Zhongtian...... Ahem! His voice was hoarse with his roar, and at last he couldn't even speak at all.
And on the comments on the Internet, all kinds of excited messages frantically swiped the screen.
"The ball is in, haha!"
"Chu Zhongtian is so powerful, so powerful!"
"Long live the Chinese team! Stick to death! ”
"I just like to watch the stick lose, hahaha!"
…… After the goal, Chu Zhongtian was also extremely excited, he ran to the stands, originally wanted to interact with his fans, but when he looked up, he found that the spread of orange turned out to be the area where the "Red Devil cheerleaders" of South Korean fans gathered. He reacted quickly, and immediately put his index finger to his mouth and signaled the noisy Koreans to shut up!
This action is really depressing in the eyes of the Chinese, who have always looked down on China in football, and they have 10,000 reasons to despise Chinese football, but the Chinese cannot fight back. Now that Chu Zhongtian has done it, this gesture to shut them up is the best counterattack!
Then Chu Zhongtian ran to the stands where Chinese fans gathered, constantly raising his arms, signaling everyone to follow his rhythm and cheer loudly for the national team.
At this time, there is nothing more than loud cheers to demoralize your opponent and boost your confidence.
Qatar's Khalifa Stadium erupted in loud cheers, shouted in Chinese.
"Long live the Chinese team-!!"
In this tsunami-like cheer, all the players of the Chinese team felt that they were full of strength.
