Chapter 919: Tenth Goal
Makoto Hasebe, as one of the two midfielders of the Japanese team, is a normal choice to help defend Hao Junmin who cuts inside to the middle, but this is based on the premise that he completes his own defense.
Therefore, he committed the mistake of his former midfield partner Endo Bao who watched the ball and did not look at people, which made the sideline coach Zaccheroni's heart 'chuckle'.
The most important thing for a defensive midfielder in the middle is not to defend the opposing player, but to stand in his defensive position.
At the back, attacking to protect football, defending to protect space, Makoto Hasebe has obviously ignored this space......
Hao Junmin used his right toe to stealthily poke the ball in front of the right side at the moment when Hasebe Makoto turned to assist in the defense, and the power was moderate, and he was not worried about the two central defenders Yasuyuki Konno and Maya Yoshida ignoring Gao Lin and grabbing in advance.
Suddenly, Hasebe Makoto realized that he had made an extremely serious mistake, and it was obviously unrealistic to turn around and defend Chen Tao again, and time did not allow it.
So he had an idea, just like when he was a kid kicking a ball and losing his position and stretching his foot to hook back.
Chen Tao, who was running forward, never thought that Makoto Hasebe, who had lost his position, would choose to defend with this unconventional move, so he put it on Makoto Hasebe's right foot stretched back in the process of running forward naturally.
Therefore, the upper body still maintains the original forward posture, but the feet stumble due to obstacles, and the body naturally falls forward.
Australian referee Williams blew the whistle decisively, awarding a free kick to the Chinese team and a yellow card warning to Makoto Hasebe.
Because of fouls like this that lose the defensive position, the referee training course launched by FIFA has focused on saying that yellow cards are essential!
In this regard, Makoto Hasebe did not plead, if it wasn't for an unconventional foul just now, then the goal would be dangerous this time.
Japan coach Zaccheroni was more satisfied with Makoto Hasebe's foul, and the captain of the team was right to lead by example when he lost his position, otherwise if he didn't choose to foul in a situation like the one just now, the consequences would be very serious, but ...... The next moment, Zaccheroni's eyes widened.
This...... The distance of the free kick seems to be ...... Perfect for former World Footballer of the Year Arrow.
Gao Hongbo, who was not far away, was excited, and just when the Chinese team's attack could not be launched, he actually sent a set-piece with such a good position.
Isn't this equivalent to an initiative mistake to give the Chinese team a chance to score?
He clearly remembered that the free kick at this distance was within Iello's range - facing the goal head-on, about 28~32 meters from the goal.
In other words, if the free kick grandmaster Ailo can grasp it properly, then it is very likely that the score will be rewritten to 2:0.
At the same time, the on-site director quickly switched to Ello and pushed it to a close-up of his face, apparently a veteran footballer who knew that Eloh was an excellent taker of free-kicks in this position.
Commentator Huang Jianxiang came to the spirit and shouted: "Oh? This is...... Chance for the Chinese team! The set-piece was within Iroh's range, which means that the Chinese team is likely to change the score from 1:0 to 2:0 after a minute! ”
The Chinese goal sitting in front of the TV was so excited that some fans even brought out a bottle of wine from Rosewood as if they were ready to celebrate Iello's free-kick......
The Japanese commentator looked at the broadcast camera and was stunned, frowned and said, "This ...... A free kick in this position, very dangerous. ”
The other neutral commentators immediately came to their senses, and the previous ten minutes of the game had suffocated them, so they continued to chant one by one, and the atmosphere in the commentary seat reached its peak again.
※※※
Originally, Iello was going to serve a free kick quickly, but it was blown back by the referee, because Williams showed a yellow card to Makoto Hasebe for the first time, and in the rules of football referees, the referee is not allowed to send a free kick quickly in the process of showing a yellow card, and must wait for the referee's whistle.
Of course, a quick free-kick is allowed before the referee gives a yellow card.
When the fans saw Iroh standing in front of the free kick, they immediately realized that the position of the free kick was very good, which was completely consistent with the range of Iroh in their impression.
As a result, the cheers of the Chinese fans became louder and louder, apparently full of confidence in Iro.
It didn't take long for the live broadcaster to use AR technology to give the straight-line distance between the goal and the free kick - 30.2 meters.
"Yes, it's within Iroh's range!"
With Huang Jianxiang's explanation, the Japanese team's human wall was finally lined up with four people under the tough attitude of referee Williams.
However, when the referee didn't notice, they moved two steps forward, they were very jealous of Elo's set-piece skills, in order to be able to make their own profits, they could only use this improper behavior, but the referee Williams was sharp-eyed, and immediately noticed the early movement of the Japanese players, and asked the Japanese wall to retreat enough to 9.15 meters.
Iroh stood in front of the ball and looked at the Japanese team's wall, even if they moved two steps forward, they were not worried, the height of the Japanese limited the vertical height of their jump, and moving two steps forward may not be able to rub the ball, so Iroh didn't care at all, but the referee's kindness must be the point.
As the wall settled, Iroh began to take three steps back, then stood firm on the court like a compass.
The referee saw Iroh's signature posture standing, looked into the penalty area again, and blew the whistle.
At the same time, Aroh glanced up at the position of goalkeeper Eiji Kawashima and took a deep breath.
At this moment, everyone's attention was on Iroh.
Goalkeeper Kawashima Eiji saw through the human wall that the confident Iroh began to run, and his heart 'groaned', and the sweat on his forehead instantly appeared, and his Adam's apple moved, and he subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
One step, two steps......
The third step is a bit bigger.
Iroh's left foot was about 30 centimeters on the left side of the ball, his right foot swung from back to front, his left arm swung naturally to keep his body balanced, and the inside of his foot struck the lower middle of the ball like a whip.
The muffled sound of "bang" was particularly loud in the quiet court......
The Japanese four-man wall instinctively jumps, but none of them touch the football.
The soccer ball is as precise as a cruise missile, hitting the bombing target.
Goalkeeper Eiji Kawashima, who was standing in the far corner, watched the football fly over the wall, the tension spread all over his body, and the movement of his feet was completely due to reflex, as the football got closer and closer to the goal, his left foot kicked hard, and his body 'swished' into the air, stretching out his left arm, trying to save the football.
However, the speed of the football was faster than he expected, and the football suddenly fell when it flew to its highest point.
"Oops!"
In Kawashima's desperation, the ball grazed the left post and flew towards the goal until the snow-white net stopped it......
※※※
The attention of the 50,000 fans in the stadium was all locked on Iroh until he hit the ball with his right foot, and then looked in the direction of the goal.
Japanese goalkeeper Eiji Kawashima reacted quickly to make a save, but the angle and power of the football were excellent, and the football had a fall when it flew to the highest point, which made the Japanese fans behind the goal unable to calm down, and the grief instantly covered the whole face, while the Chinese fans stood up from their seats and raised their arms between the lightning and flint.
Whew-w
As the football flew into the goal, the Chinese fans in the stands erupted in a loud shout, sweeping the stadium in an extreme amount of time.
"The ball is in!! Entered, entered! Ailuo's direct free kick pierced the Japanese team's goal, and now the score is 2:0, and in the 37th minute of the game, Ailuo's tenth goal in this Asian Cup helped the Chinese team expand the score to two goals! The Chinese team will win!! ”
At the same time, Huang Jianxiang jumped up directly from the comment seat, he was too excited!
Even though he had been mentally prepared before the game, he couldn't suppress it now that he was leading by two goals before the end of the first half.
This goal is completely equivalent to holding most of the Asian Cup championship trophy in his hands, as the first brother of CCTV Channel 5 to explain football matches, he has joined the CCTV Sports Department since 1994, and hopes to see the Chinese team win the Asian Cup one day.
2004 was the closest, but it ended up hating.
Seven years later, the Chinese team made a comeback and entered the Asian Cup final with a super strong record of 17 goals and zero goals conceded.
Now that the first half is not over and he is two goals ahead of his final opponents, Japan, he really can't contain his emotions.
It is not only the commentator Huang Jianxiang who is excited, but also the Chinese fans on the scene, the fans watching the live broadcast in front of the TV, and the Chinese fans in front of the computer, they are all very excited at this moment.
If Japan leads by two goals before the end of the half, does that mean that the game will be 4:0 at full-time?
This...... Too strong, right?
Winning the Asian Cup with six straight wins?
Oh my God, this is a complete rollover!
Iro, who scored the goal, was not too excited, but stood in place and opened his arms in the direction of his family.
Other teammates couldn't suppress their excitement, and flocked to the captain who scored the goal, and even Wang Xiaolei, who was standing in the half-circle arc of his side, ran up excitedly to celebrate the goal.
During the time when the Chinese team was celebrating, the live director replayed the whole process of the goal, and Huang Jianxiang, who gradually calmed down, looked at the camera and raised his arms and shouted: "Beautiful direct free kick, worthy of being called the only free kick grandmaster on this planet!" ”
Compared with the excitement on the Chinese side, the Japanese players, coaches, and fans on the stadium were quite depressed, and they seemed to see the final outcome of the Japanese team - to be the runner-up.
If there was a chance to equalise from a goal down, an equaliser was a luxury with Iroh's direct free-kick into the back of the net......
Everyone knows that this goal of the Chinese team almost sealed the victory!
