Chapter 109: Brothers Together!
2:2! The Chinese youth team equalized in the final moments of the game with a corner kick!
The goal was scored by No. 9 Lin Qi!
Lin Qi did not disappoint the fans, and after 90 minutes of silence, he finally stepped up at the last minute, and he saved the Chinese youth team.
He kept the hope of the Chinese youth team winning the championship!
The cheers in the stands never stopped, and their cheers were so loud that they overshadowed the referee's whistle.
Honk... Honk... Honk......
Before the Japanese youth team restarted, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the 90-minute game.
Both teams will go to extra time!
The Japanese youth team members sat down on the turf when they heard the whistle at the end of the game. There are no words to describe their current feelings, and a huge sense of loss and frustration fills their hearts.
In the second half, after Lin Heng pulled a goal back, the Japanese youth team solidified their defense, and they hoped to hold on to the 2:1 scoreline.
The tactical strategy of the Japanese youth team was undoubtedly very successful, and in the remaining forty minutes of the game, they successfully blocked the fierce attack of the Chinese youth team.
However, in the last minute, in the last ten seconds, the last corner kick of the Chinese youth team, they failed to prevent. Lin Qi jumped high and blasted their goal open with an imposing header.
How can they not be lost, how can they not be depressed?
The ugly smile on Keisuke Honda's face is gone, replaced by an even more ugly bitter gourd face. When he looked at Lin Qi again, there was a deep fear hidden in the depths of his eyes.
Yes, he was afraid.
Lin Qi kicked Keisuke Honda with only one header......
When Lin Qi scored with a header, Keisuke Honda was standing by his side. Keisuke Honda is a little shorter than Lin Qi's height, but Keisuke Honda has great confidence in preventing Lin Qi's header.
Keisuke Honda is also fast, and his explosiveness is no joke. Although he is not good at heading, Keisuke Honda has a strong pressure on Lin Qi's confidence.
He was the first person in the entire Japanese youth team to jump, and after seeing Lin Qi jump, he jumped up. In that way, it looked like he was going to compete with Lin Qi to see who jumped higher.
The results speak for themselves. Keisuke Honda jumped at least twenty centimeters shorter than Lin Qi, and when he and Lin Qi jumped at the same time, they could only see Lin Qi's neck.
Lin Qi's explosiveness is too terrifying, facing a defender who is taller than him, Lin Qi can compete for a header, let alone facing Keisuke Honda, who is even shorter than him.
Keisuke Honda did not give up defense because he was shorter than Lin Qi, and the moment he saw the football flying towards Lin Qi, he resolutely decided to foul Lin Qi!
Even if it is a foul, Lin Qi must not be allowed to grab the opportunity to score with a header!
Keisuke Honda thought so and did so, and he slammed his elbow into Lin Qi. However, before his elbow touched Lin Qi, Keisuke Honda suddenly found himself falling back to the ground quickly.
It turned out that when Lin Qi was competing for the header, his waist exerted force, and his whole body tilted, directly pressing Keisuke Honda back to the ground.
Keisuke Honda's elbow missed, and he didn't stop Lin Qi, even with the shameless tactics of fouling, he still couldn't stop Lin Qi.
In the process of competing for the header in this battle, Keisuke Honda lost to Lin Qi!
It was only at this time that Keisuke Honda realized how powerful Lin Qi was, at least his header was more than a hundred times stronger than himself.
When the Japanese youth team was fully defending, they couldn't stop Lin Qi's goal.
This made Keisuke Honda's frustration much stronger than that of his teammates. At best, the other members of the Japanese youth team have figured out how to celebrate the championship, but Keisuke Honda has thought about how to stimulate and provoke Lin Qi.
It's just that Lin Qi didn't give him this opportunity to stimulate and provoke. He shattered all the illusions of Keisuke Honda with a domineering header.
"It turns out that it is not a fluke to be able to score eight goals in five games, he really has such strength!"
Keisuke Honda suddenly realized this, and he looked at Lin Qi with a rather solemn expression.
"I'm not going to throw in the towel, though. In extra time, the championship will definitely belong to our big Japan youth team! Keisuke Honda stood up strongly, walked over to his teammates, and shouted encouragement to them.
The current Japanese youth team really needs encouragement, and Lin Qi's goal hit them too hard, and even their head coach was frustrated.
Unlike the frustration of the Japanese youth team, the players of the Chinese youth team are now all excited, and they see the champion, who has been far away from them, beckoning at them again.
Lin Qi's goal greatly enhanced the momentum of the Chinese youth team.
When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, none of them sat down to rest, but gathered together at the first time, celebrating with each other and discussing the tactics of extra time.
In the Asian Youth Championships, the extra time is played on the Golden Ball! This means they don't have to play the full 30 minutes of extra time, as long as they score first, they can win the game and win the Asian Youth Championship!
In the same way, if the Japanese youth team scores first, the title will be theirs.
The main battle between the two teams is to see who can score first!
"Well done, boys! We played very well in the second half, we didn't give up, we held on until the last second and we managed to send the game into extra time! Liu Bo excitedly encouraged his players.
"The next thing we have to do is simpler, score one more goal and get the title back!" Liu Bo shook his fist vigorously and shouted loudly.
The players followed Liu Bo's movements, waved their fists, and shouted together: "Get the championship back!" ”
The players were excited and motivated. However, as they shouted, one of the players did not speak very loudly, and although Liu Bo spoke passionately, he still seemed a little absent-minded.
This person is not difficult to guess, it is Lin Heng!
Lin Heng was very entangled now, quite entangled. He was also excited that the Huaxia Youth Team equalized, but why was it Lin Qi instead of him Lin Heng who saved the Huaxia Youth Team in the end?
While Lin Heng was happy for the Chinese Youth Team, he also felt an unparalleled loss. He played hard and had a lot of chances throughout the second half, but unfortunately he only scored one goal.
Lin Heng didn't know what was wrong with him, he only felt that the second half was awkward, as if he was not himself. His strengths, his strengths, didn't seem to show up in the second half.
But what about Lin Qi? Lin Qi didn't just play in the second half, he seemed to disappear on the court throughout the game. He actively worked hard to open up space for Lin Heng, although he didn't take the ball, although he didn't have the opportunity to show himself, but no one could ignore his role.
It was precisely because of Lin Qi's existence that Lin Heng got so many opportunities.
Lin Heng himself clearly understood this, compared to Lin Qi, his performance was really a little worse. There were so many chances that he couldn't equalize the score, and Lin Qi only got two chances before becoming a savior.
This fact made it difficult for Lin Heng to accept.
"Am I really inferior to him?" Lin Heng asked himself, his goal count had only reached seven just now, and he had narrowed the gap with Lin Qi. As a result, Lin Qi scored again, and it was still such an important goal.
If the Chinese youth team really wins the final championship, then Lin Qi's goal can be said to be worth a thousand gold. Just this one goal is more meaningful than Lin Heng's total of seven goals.
Looking back at his seven goals at the Asian Youth Championships, it seems that every goal is the icing on the cake and is no longer very important. As for Lin Qi, every goal he scored played a vital role for the Chinese youth team.
This is also the gap between him and Lin Qi.
"Am I doing something wrong? Is it wrong to compete with Lin Qi? Lin Heng was confused, he felt like a clown jumping off the beam, always adding some irrelevant jokes to the fans when it was irrelevant.
And when the Chinese youth team was at its most critical, it was always Lin Qi who stood up!
Lin Heng recalled his performance in this game, wasting opportunities again and again, and disappointing the fans again and again. He suddenly thanked Lin Qi a little, if it weren't for Lin Qi's goal at the last moment, I'm afraid he Lin Heng would have become the sinner of the Chinese youth team.
He wasted too many chances in the second half......
Lin Heng was immersed in a huge loss, he didn't listen to the words of head coach Liu Bo at all, and Lin Heng didn't integrate into the shouts of his teammates.
Lin Heng felt like an outsider, watching the Chinese Youth Team march towards the championship with high morale, while he himself ignored the entire Chinese Youth Team and the championship for the sake of Lin Qi's competition.
Anyone can see that if Lin Heng had given Lin Qi all the opportunities he got in the second half, then overtime would definitely not exist.
But is Lin Heng willing to be Lin Qi's supporting role like Lin Qi assisted him?
The answer was no at halftime, but now, Lin Heng didn't know if he would be willing......
When Lin Heng was still immersed in loss, Liu Bo's speech had already ended, he didn't explain much, and he didn't make any special arrangements tactically. The performance of the Chinese youth team in the second half was already very good, and Liu Bo only asked the players to continue to work hard and hold on until the game was won.
Then he told the players to rehydrate and rest, there was a 10-minute break before extra time, the players were tired after 90 minutes of play, and now what they need most is rest.
After Liu Bo let the players rest, he called Lin Heng aside, and he saw Lin Heng's emotional changes.
"You and Lin Qi are cousins, right?" Liu Bo asked.
Lin Heng nodded and did not answer.
"Lin Qi's characteristics are completely different from yours, and you don't need to fight to the death with him at all. At this time, I think an old Chinese saying is the most suitable for you. ”
"Brothers work together, and their profits are broken!"
When Liu Bo, who has always been sloppy, said this, his face was surprisingly serious!
