Chapter 81: The Sturdy Keisuke Honda
In the second half, Gamba Osaka completely fell from the momentum, and this goal was a rather heavy blow for them.
It was a belated goal for Izumi City, a goal that represented the hope of victory, a crucial goal, and it didn't matter to Gamba Osaka.
Why were they able to attack Springs from the start of the first half without probing, and why did they come to the away stadium in the same way as they did at home?
It's because they don't feel that the Springs team poses any threat to them, and the Springs team's offense is far from being able to break their goal.
The defense is worry-free, and their momentum in attack is certainly very unusual.
Strictly speaking, the Osaka Gamba team didn't take the Izumi City team seriously at all. However, it was this opponent who was not taken seriously by them who absolutely suppressed them in the second half, and even broke their goal.
The absolute confidence of the players of the Osaka Gamba team, with this goal of the Izumi City team, began to crumble, and they saw the strength of the Izumi City team to defeat them!
With a loss of confidence and a sudden drop in momentum, Gamba Osaka could no longer organize an effective attack on the Izumi Castle goal. After the restart, Gamba Osaka was surprisingly cautious, hitting the ball into their own backcourt in an attempt to delay the game with a backcourt invert.
However, with nearly thirty minutes to go, it would be so easy to delay.
Under the wolf-like steal of the Izumi City team, the Osaka Gamba team conceded the ball in the backfield. Luo Ming's shot was slightly over the crossbar.
In the stands, there was a collective gasp from the area where Japanese fans gathered. This goal is too dangerous, if Luo Ming's shot can be suppressed a little, then the Quancheng team can equalize.
It's been just two minutes since Izumi City's last goal, and if it were to be equalised, it would be an unimaginable blow to Gamba Osaka and to the fans in attendance.
Luo Ming also felt that it was a pity, this was the best opportunity he got in this game, but unfortunately he was beaten high. Thinking of this, Luo Ming looked at Lin Qi. If this ball is handed over to Lin Qi. I'm sure I'm going to get in.
He wanted to hand it over to Lin Qi, but Lin Qi's speed couldn't keep up with his counterattack speed at all. After the Quancheng team broke the ball, Luo Ming hit the Osaka Gamba team's penalty area in a very short time, and Lin Qi was still outside the penalty area at this time.
He can't just pass the ball. In that case. Springs will lose their best chance to hit the back of the net......
For the first time at this moment, the players of the Quancheng team, including Luo Ming, hoped that Lin Qi's speed would be faster. If Lin Qi's speed is fast enough. It is really not a problem for them to kill Gamba Osaka at home, and if Lin Qi is fast enough, the overall strength of the Quancheng team can at least go up a notch.
Pity. There is no if, Lin Qi has super ability to grab points and shoot, but he does not have enough speed to satisfy the Quancheng team.
Lin Qi knows this very well, so he will do his best to earn the attribute points rewarded by the Ball King system, so as to increase his speed as soon as possible.
But that's all for later, on the field, the Quancheng team missed a good opportunity to equalize because of Lin Qi's lack of speed. Despite this, the Quancheng team still won with great momentum, just suppressed, just did Osaka Gamba like this, and there will always be a chance to equalize.
At the moment when Luo Ming hit the door, the fans at the scene used their strength to shout, and they cooperated with the momentum of the Quancheng team on the field, desperately cheering for the Quancheng team.
The Osaka Gamba team is really scared this time, they are not afraid of the Quancheng team changing formations on the spot, and they are not afraid of the Quancheng team launching a counterattack in the second half of the game, but they are afraid of the Quancheng team's lifeless posture.
With the current style of play of the Izumi City team, if the Osaka Gamba team dares to fight them, the injuries are all minor, and maybe even their entire careers can be ruined in this game.
Looking at Chen Biao's hideous expression, and then looking at Xu Zhen's cold eyes, the players of the Osaka Gamba team shuddered, what kind of football is this, this is simply going to kill.
Gamba Osaka was instigated, and they did not give up the victory of the game, but gave up the opportunity to continue to expand the score. Now the most important thing for them is to hold on to the scoreline. In defense, it's understandable that you move bigger, but in offense, you can't always come up and foul.
Gamba Osaka is trading the price of not attacking for the safety of the players. In their eyes, the Izumi City team in the second half was too dangerous, not only for the Osaka Gamba goal, but also for the personal safety of their players.
The Izumi City team didn't actually intend to scare the Osaka Gamba players, they just wanted to play their own momentum at home......
They didn't expect the Osaka Gamba team to admit it, but it doesn't matter, since the Osaka Gamba team admits it, then the opportunity for the Izumi City team has completely come.
After another ten consecutive minutes of attack, the Osaka Gamba team was completely overwhelmed by the kicking style of the Izumi City team, except for one person - Keisuke Honda!
Keisuke Honda is young after all, he doesn't know what's at stake at all, he just feels very unhappy when he sees Lin Qi showing great might.
The strength of the Izumi City team is obviously worse than that of Gamba Osaka, and Lin Qi's strength is also considered inferior to himself by the self-righteous Keisuke Honda. Why did they press the Osaka Gamba team to fight, and why did they make the Osaka Gamba team powerless to fight back!
It has to be said that this is that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers.
In the 33rd minute of the second half, Keisuke Honda led the players of Gamba Osaka to launch a counterattack. It was an unorganized and premeditated counterattack, and after Gamba Osaka broke the ball, he drove straight forward and happened to drive the ball to the feet of Keisuke Honda.
After that, the other attacking players of Gamba Osaka quickly ran to the front court. They were scared of the Springs, but the instinct of the attacking players made them realize that it was a great opportunity to counter-attack.
Keisuke Honda made a couple of clever combinations with his teammates near midfield and smashed the ball into the Sensiki penalty area.
"Gamba Osaka's counterattack, three on three in the front!" The Huaxia commentator at the scene exclaimed, and the Osaka Gamba team's counterattack did form a three-on-three situation in the frontcourt.
The style of play of the Springs team in the second half was not without weaknesses, and they pressed too high, resulting in a lack of defense at the back. It was also the Osaka Gamba team that did not dare to fight back before, and if they had fought back decisively, I am afraid that all the suspense of the game would have been ended long ago.
This time, Keisuke Honda, a young Japanese man who is not afraid of death, led the team to a counterattack.
The three-on-three situation in the front court was too simple for the Osaka Gamba team, who were good at cooperating, and they passed the ball three times in front of the Izumi City defenders, and finally Keisuke Honda shot angrily, once again penetrating the goal of the Izumi City team!
1:3! Gamba Osaka once again expanded the score!
Keisuke Honda!!!!!!!!! The sturdy Keisuke Honda stood up at the most difficult time for the Osaka Gamba team, he inherited the glorious tradition of Great Nippon football and did not choose to bow his head in front of the fierce Izumi Castle team! The Japanese commentator, who had been suppressed for a long time, desperately praised Keisuke Honda, and Keisuke Honda's counterattack organized this time basically ended the suspense of the game.
With a little over ten minutes left in the game, Springs will need to score at least three goals in those ten minutes to have a chance of progressing from the group.
Ten minutes, three goals, haha, this time the Quancheng team should not be so crazy to attack.
The suspense is over, and it's time for Springs to give up the game. I really hope Gamba Osaka can take advantage of this opportunity to score a few more goals, preferably three!!
The Japanese narrator thinks like this...... (To be continued......)
