No. [153] Round: Australia with a single means
Schwarzer swooped sideways, stretching his hand straight to block the ball.
Although Schwarzer made a save, even he didn't have the slightest confidence, he didn't think he could save on the football.
Sure enough, the ball had crossed his defensive line before he fell to the ground.
Ay! Schwarzer instantly closed his eyes in despair, he knew that the Australian national team was in a bad situation, and this goal would definitely be lost.
Clang!
There was a steel sound, and Schwarzer's desperate eyes opened in an instant, and they were as big as the eyes of a dead fish. However, the difference between Schwarzer's eyes and the eyes of a dead fish is that Schwarzer's eyes have a gleam in them.
Schwarzer turned his head to look at him instantly, and suddenly his mood rose from hell to heaven.
"Oops! Goalpost! The ball hit the goal post hard and popped off the bottom line! Duan Xuan, the commentator of CCTV's sports channel, immediately shouted loudly.
Ah! The entire Khalifa Stadium was filled with the collective sighs of Chinese fans.
"Doorposts! The soccer ball hit the post of the goal! Oops, the Chinese team's luck today is not very good, this goal has not been scored, it's a pity! Xu Yang, a guest commentator on CCTV's sports channel, said.
"This is a very good opportunity, the opponent's goalkeeper Schwarzer has already surrendered his gun, but it's a pity! It's a pity that Dongfang Chen didn't seize the opportunity this time, the angle he wanted was too awkward. Xu Yang, a guest commentator on CCTV's sports channel, said.
"Even yes! The football smashed on the post of the goal, beautiful! Thank God, thank the merciful Lord, that we are always with you! The commentator of the Australian national sports was extremely sober and excited.
Dongfang Chen shook his head for a while, this ball was indeed too awkward for him.
In fact, Dongfang Chen chose this way because he wanted to use Neil to block Schwarzer's sight, so he chose such a line to shoot, but unfortunately, he calculated Schwarzer, but he didn't calculate the goalpost.
Dongfang Chen sighed in disappointment and said, "I miscalculated, this time!" ”
All the Chinese players in the stadium felt that it was a pity, if the ball was a little bit more in, the ball would have been there, and they would have taken the lead.
The first half of the game has been played for more than 30 minutes, and at this time the players on both sides have just let go a little, and the two sides have gradually gained some opportunities to threaten the opponent.
This is the best chance for the Chinese team in the first half of the game, and it is indeed a pity that this goal was not grasped.
Now ten minutes after the end of the first half, if this goal is scored, the Chinese team is likely to stay directly in the second half of the game with a one-goal advantage, in that case, the second half of the game will be easier for the Chinese team.
It's a shame to miss this opportunity now.
Goalball, the Australian national team kicked the goalball, they directly drove the football out with a big foot, they have such an advantage, they naturally want to make good use of it.
The football flew quickly to the front of the Chinese team's penalty area, and the Chinese team's central defender Du Wei rushed out, and he wanted to jump up directly and push the football out.
However, the Australian national team's striker Cahill was in a very reasonable position, he used his strong body to carry Du Wei, jumped with Du Wei, and he threw the football to his partner Colwill with a flick of his head.
Colwill is one of the more unusual players in the Australian national team, his body is not very strong, and he can even be said to be a little thin, he is characterized by fast speed, good foot skills, and flexibility.
Although Colwill is now older and his speed is no longer what he was when he was younger, he has a lot of experience, which is his biggest advantage now.
The football came to the feet of Cowell, who immediately pretended to break through, but suddenly sent the ball to the side.
Colwill didn't look at the side at all, he judged from his experience that there should be his own players on the side at this time, so he immediately sent the ball out, and then he did run towards the penalty area of the Chinese team at a rapid pace.
Sure enough, Colwill's judgment was not wrong, and McKay from the Australian national team rushed up and received a pass directly from Colwill.
'On the wing, the Australian national team's wide attack has come up and now you have to step forward and limit him, don't let him pass the ball into the box.' Xu Yang, a guest commentator on CCTV's sports channel, said immediately.
The tactics of the Australian national team are relatively simple, that is, crosses from two wings. But their trick is really very useful, he is very proficient in playing, and you are really not good at defending in ordinary people.
As we already know in the previous game, the Chinese team will not have any advantage in the penalty area to grab points with the strikers of the Australian national team, and at this time, the Chinese team must contain the crosses of the two wings of the Australian national team and prevent them from passing the football into the Chinese team's penalty area.
In this way, the crisis of the Chinese team's goal will be minimized. Once the Australian national team is allowed to pass the football into the penalty area, the Chinese team will be very dangerous.
The players of the Chinese team naturally knew this, and Zhang Ningpeng, the fullback of the Chinese team, immediately pounced, followed McKay closely, and stuck the line of the cross, preventing McKay from crossing.
Now Zhang Ningpeng is very motivated, because he has just signed a contract with the Birmingham team, and after the Asian Cup, he will go to the Premier League to play, Zhang Ningpeng's heart has been full of energy recently.
Zhang Ningpeng clung to McKay like a mad dog, not giving any chance to cross. McKay tried several times without success, and was almost cut off by Zhang Ningpeng, McKay was so frightened that he immediately gave up the intention of crossing, and he immediately passed the football backwards.
The ball rolled back quickly, and Valery, a midfielder for the Australian national team, ran over and caught the ball.
Valery dodged Qu Bai, a Chinese player who rushed back to defend with a smash of the ball, and then he shifted the ball directly to the other side with a big kick, passing the ball to the feet of Hoffman on the other side.
"Not bad! This time, Zhang Ningpeng's defense was very good, he didn't give McKay any chance, and he did a good job! Duan Xuan, a commentator on CCTV's sports channel, said.
"Since it was revealed that Zhang Ningpeng signed a contract with the Birmingham team, Zhang Ningpeng's spirit seems to be completely different, and now his body is full of energy, as if he has endless energy." Xu Yang, a guest commentator on CCTV's sports channel, said.
Zhang Ningpeng defended well, but Valery's long pass was also very accurate, and the ball fell directly to the feet of Hoffman on the other side.
As soon as Hoffman received the ball, Rong Hao, the defender of the central defender, immediately pasted it and pasted it from behind, preventing Hoffman from turning around.
As soon as Hoffman received the ball, he felt the Chinese defender behind him sticking up, but he was not in a hurry, he directly passed the ball back, and the ball rolled backwards quickly.
Then, Hoffman suddenly turned around and ran towards the Chinese team's bottom line, as if he was preparing to receive a pass from his teammate Neil.
Australian national team full-back Neil had already set up the assist by this time, and Hofman's pass rolled towards him. But he didn't pick the ball out and pass it back to Hoffman.
Neil immediately took the ball two steps forward, and at this time, he found that the Chinese full-back Rong Hao had been taken away by Hoffman, and there was a big space in front of him.
Hoffman did not hesitate, caught up with the football and directly curled the ball, crossed from a position at an angle of 45 degrees, and passed the football into the penalty area of the Chinese team.
"Cross! The Australian national team crosses! Rong Hao was completely deceived by Hoffman, he never thought about crossing from the beginning, and this time the real crosser of the Australian national team was Neil. Duan Xuan, the commentator of CCTV's sports channel, immediately shouted in horror.
All the Australian national team players in the audience were very excited at this time, and they immediately screamed with excitement and shouted Cahill's name loudly. They can feel that this time they have a chance for the Australian national team.
"Crossed, the football flew into the penalty area of the Chinese team, chance!" The commentator of the Australian national sports was also very excited at this time, and his eyes were firmly fixed on the stadium and the penalty area of the Chinese team.
The football flew quickly into the Chinese team's penalty area, and flew quickly towards Cahill in the middle of the central penalty area.
"Cahill! Cahill! Sure enough, the Australian national team's crosses are always looking for a point, and that is Cahill! Duan Xuan, the commentator of CCTV's sports channel, immediately shouted loudly.
"Cahill, header!" Xu Yang, the commentator of CCTV's sports channel, also shouted loudly, and he didn't even notice that his voice was a little trembling.
The ball arced and shot sharply towards Cahill in the middle of the Chinese team's penalty area.
Li Xue Peng, who was beside Cahill, was nervous at this time, although he was leaning on Cahill tightly, but there was a very huge amount of energy in Cahill's body, which made him a little unable to carry Cahill at all.
At this moment, the football flew over rapidly, and Cahill in front of Li Xue Peng jumped directly with his legs. Li Xue Peng didn't dare to take it lightly, and he immediately jumped up quickly.
However, Cahill's position selection and judgment of the football landing point are simply too good, at this time Li Xuepeng has lost the opportunity, Li Xuepeng has to use small actions to interfere with Cahill and make Cahill make mistakes.
Boom! Cahill spotted the ball and slammed it into the ball with a thunderous roar.
The football immediately shot like a lightning bolt towards the Chinese team's goal, and the ball speed was very fast this time.
In front of the goal, Zhen Chen, the goalkeeper of the Chinese team, saw the football flying, his eyes widened, and his heart was terrified, and he also did not have much confidence in this goal. Because Cahill has a very tricky angle and the ball is very fast.
Zhen Chen immediately gritted his teeth and flew out, his hands stretched out straight to intercept the football.
But his hand was still very far away from the football, his hand couldn't touch the football at all, the football flew in front of his hand like lightning quickly, and then flew rapidly towards the goal he was guarding, Zhen Chen's face instantly became very ugly.
Swish! A clear friction sound came, Zhen Chen's heart instantly fell to the bottom, he knew that this time it was really over, Zhen Chen, who fell on the turf, closed his eyes in despair, at this time, the crazy cheers and screams of Australians sounded in his ears.
