Chapter 713: Lightning Breaks the Door
With the whistle of the Australian referee, the third round of Group A of the 2010 World Cup Asian Qualifiers in South Africa officially began.
Keisuke Honda passed the football to Shinji Okazaki next to him, and then slowly ran forward, while Shinji Okazaki, who took the ball, quickly put his body in front of Gao Lin who grabbed it, so as not to let him break the ball at the first time of kick-off, and in order to avoid mistakes, he passed the ball to Shunsuke Nakamura.
Gao Lin did not give up, but pushed Shinji Okazaki, who was blocking in front of him, and turned around and ran towards Shunsuke Nakamura, who was holding the ball.
Shunsuke Nakamura, who held the ball, didn't dare to be careless, the outside of his right foot flicked the ball to the right, and after his body followed, he passed the ball to his partner Makoto Hasebe with his right foot, Gao Lin stopped and changed direction and rushed to Makoto Hasebe, who was holding the ball, the latter also didn't dare to be careless when he saw this, and directly picked up his right foot to make a big foot, Gao Lin instinctively jumped up, wanting to block the ball with his body.
But what he didn't expect was that Hasebe Makoto's move was not to relieve the siege, but to ...... Feints.
Makoto Hasebe quickly retracted with his right foot and flicked the ball to the right with the outside instep to show his calm side, and at the same time show off his footwork to the Chinese players present.
Of course, Makoto Hasebe, who shows off his feet, also has this capital.
Japan's "Centennial Reform" in the 90s of the last century laid the foundation for the style of their country's players - to learn from Brazil, who won four World Cups at the time, and to take the technical route of ground transmission and control.
This is also in line with the characteristics of their Japanese at that time, short, thin, lack of strength, but everything has two sides, they are better at the feet flexible, so it is also right to firmly take the technical route, you can make full use of their short stature, flexible feet characteristics, if you firmly use your body to fight against other teams, then the Japanese team will not be able to become the first brother in Asia today.
Today, Japan has been taking the technical route for almost 20 years, and their players generally have good skills and a strong sense of cooperation, especially the midfielders, and now the No. 10 Shunsuke Nakamura is the representative, and there was a free kick in the group stage of the Champions League last season that broke through Van der Sar's goal.
Takeshi Okada, who was standing on the sidelines watching the game, crossed his arms around his chest and looked at Makoto Hasebe, who was improvising with a smile, was indeed the main midfielder of the Bundesliga giants Wolfsburg, and calmly faced the Chinese team's fierce pressing.
After Hasebe Makoto flashed Gao Lin, he still had time to look up and observe the situation in the front court, Shinji Okazaki had not yet run in place, and Endo Hohito pulled the side, which was not suitable for passing, so he pulled the ball back with his right foot, and at this time, Gao Lin had already rushed over from again, with a posture of not giving up if he couldn't grab the ball.
In order to avoid conceding the ball and continuing to show off his foot skills, Makoto Hasebe pulled the ball with his right foot in the direction of his own goal, dodged Gao Lin's outstretched foot to grab the ball, and knocked the ball forward with his left foot.
Deep-fried croquettes!
"Beautiful! The players of the Great Japanese Empire are all very good, and the players of Shina are turned around by Makoto Hasebe!! The Japanese TV commentator's expression was so excited that his eyes almost popped out.
After passing Gao Lin, Makoto Hasebe had three options: pass back to the central defender, cross to Shunsuke Nakamura, and forward with big feet.
However, in the moment of his hesitation, Hao Junmin, the main right winger who plays for Schalke 04, is already close to Shunsuke Nakamura, which means that he can only pass to the central defender or clear the ball with a big foot.
Whew-w
Hearing the cheers that erupted from the stands, Makoto Hasebe changed his mind and took advantage of the change in rhythm to push the ball forward, forcing Gao Lin to accelerate the tackle on the spot.
Immediately, Hasebe Makoto's left heel slammed the ball back, dodged the space, and then twisted his body back, ready to use the outside of his right foot to dunk the ball in the opposite direction of Gao Lin, so that he could completely get rid of Gao Lin, he firmly believed that the current Shinji Okazaki and Endo Hohito have run to the position, and when the time comes, he will directly assist and score, then he is a national hero!
Thinking of Iroh's various remarks before the game, the more dissatisfied I became, isn't it the world footballer? Football is a team sport, you are good alone, can you be better than a team?
"Danger!"
At this moment, Makoto Hasebe's ears heard the exclamation of Yuji Nakazawa.
※※※
After kick-off, Ailuo followed the opening tactics discussed with Gao Lin, Hao Junmin and Zhao Xuri before kick-off, and advanced to the Japanese team's half respectively.
However, Iroh is not confident enough to start this time, the Japanese players have very good foot skills, especially the midfield, there is such a saying in the outside world: Japan's midfield is world-class, the defenders are first-class in Asia, and the forwards are miserable.
To be able to say such a thing, there is naturally a reason for it.
Gao Lin's top grab looked relatively clumsy against the Japanese players, and he was teased by Shunsuke Nakamura and Makoto Hasebe one after another.
But Iroh soon discovered that Makoto Hasebe was a very showy player, especially after the cheers erupted in the stands, he was about to pass the ball and he actually showed off his foot skills, which made Arlo sense a glimmer of hope that he could break the ball and counterattack.
So Iroh didn't hesitate to rush to Makoto Hasebe, he had a hunch that he would definitely dunk the ball back.
Really!
Makoto Hasebe, who was moving forward, staggered with Gao Lin's acceleration but his speed, isn't this a prelude to dunking the ball back?
The frequency of Iro's feet gradually increases to the fastest, as long as Makoto Hasebe dunks the ball back, then it is time for him to break the ball and counterattack!
Yuji Nakazawa stood in the position of central defender and opened the angle for Makoto Hasebe to pass, but to his surprise, the latter had no intention of passing the ball at all, but showed off the technique at his feet, and his afterglow happened to see Airo at the far end running up frantically, and the target was Makoto Hasebe, who was about to turn around with a sluggish speed!
As an experienced veteran captain, where do you not know the consequences? Instinctively, he exclaimed at Makoto Hasebe.
Immediately, Makoto Hasebe, who twisted his body back, also smelled a hint of danger, as the main defender of Wolfsburg, he naturally knew the danger of losing the ball in the position of taking the ball, and his right foot, which was ready to go to the right, used the flexibility of his ankle, and his right foot firmly wrapped the football and buckled it forward.
Makoto Hasebe might have succeeded if he had faced the average striker, but he was facing Iro!
Iroh's speed is usually described as a lightning speed, chasing the wind, which is enough to see how strong his speed is.
When Yuji Nakazawa reminded Makoto Hasebe, the two were still two meters apart, and by the moment Makoto Hasebe realized the danger, Aroh's right foot was already less than half a meter away from him.
Takeshi Okada, who was standing on the sidelines, realized that Makoto Hasebe was going to make a mistake!
The stands, which had erupted in loud cheers just now, suddenly descended because of Iro, who was getting closer and closer to Makoto Hasebe, as if the stereo had suddenly turned down.
The expression on their faces slowly froze, and after half a second, it turned to horror.
At the moment when Makoto Hasebe smashed the ball, Iro's long leg with his right foot stretched forward and came to the latter with a kick!
Makoto Hasebe is a temporary change to smash the ball in front of the body, and his strength is naturally insufficient, and he is naturally incomparable to Ailo who came at high speed.
Football has been snatched away!
"-Danger!!"
"-Chance!!"
At the same time, the Japanese commentator and Duan Xuan in the live studio blurted out at the same time, and there was a clear contrast in the expressions of the two.
As a midfielder, Makoto Hasebe should not dribble the ball in front of the central defender, because this is an extremely dangerous and sensitive position, as long as it is broken, then the chance of conceding the ball will be more than 80%!
Whew-w
The Chinese fans who came to the scene seized the moment when the Japanese fans lost their voices and shouted violently.
※※※
After hooking the ball over, Iroh adjusted his feet slightly, and then stepped the ball forward to face the central defensive duo of Yuji Nakazawa and Doukasa Tanaka.
Gao Lin and Hao Junmin also showed their proud speed at this time, although there is a big gap compared with Ailuo, but in the face of Japanese players, they still have a great advantage, especially in the case of Ailuo moving forward with the ball, so that Yuji Nakasawa and King Tanaka dare not have the slightest slack, where is the mind to put on Gao Lin?
Yuto Nagatomo quickly recycled to the left rib of the defense to prevent Iroh from passing the ball to Hao Junmin, who was cutting forward at high speed, while right fullback Atsuto Uchida chased back in a panic, but how did his speed compare to Ayro?
The current situation is equivalent to three against three in the frontcourt!
In the blink of an eye, Iroh was 30 meters away from the Japanese goal.
Yuji Nakazawa knew that he couldn't retreat anymore, and there was Tanaka Hata King behind him, so at this time, the referee for the foul would give a yellow card at most, and it was very cost-effective to exchange a yellow card for a successful defense.
Airo is experienced, where does he not know the idea of Yuji Nakazawa, who will no longer retreat?
In the process of playing the ball, his right shoulder suddenly sinks, and Yuji Nakazawa instinctively stretches out his right foot to trip Arlo.
At this moment, the corners of Iro's mouth rose slightly, and his right foot stabbed with his toes the moment he touched the ball, and the ball flew between Yuji Nakazawa's legs.
Yuji Nakazawa, who had already stretched out his right leg, had to react a second time and put his legs together.
But it was too late, the ball went through the crotch and Iroh swept at high speed from the left.
Atsuto Uchida, who had recovered, tried to reach out and pull Elo, but he only caught a cloud of air!
Facing the Tanaka Hatsa King who came over to make up for the defense, Ailo didn't even look at it, and went directly to the penalty area.
Everyone knows that the Japanese team is going to be finished......
Kawaguchi was able to stand alone on the line of the small penalty area, without the slightest courage to attack.
It wasn't until the captain Yuji Nakazawa, who turned to chase back, roared loudly that he rushed out.
Just then, Iroh picked up his right foot fifteen yards from goal, and the ball rolled against the turf towards the far end of the goal.
Kawaguchi instinctively threw himself to the left, but the forward acceleration of the soccer ball on the water-sprinkled turf was faster than his body pressed down!
The ball rolled into the net almost against the right goal post.
