Chapter 299: The Ball Scores!!?

The substitution adjustment of the Hong Kong team did not attract much attention, and for most fans, the players of the Hong Kong team are similar, and the substitutions will not make any difference.

Not only the fans, but also the Australian team, which is the opponent, thinks so.

Before the game, Australian coach Arnold had some understanding of the Hong Kong team, but it was only the past results of the Hong Kong team, and he did not do much research, because he thought that the Hong Kong team could not threaten Australia at all, but he did some consideration of Wansheng's coaching style, compared to the entire Hong Kong team, Wansheng's fame is too great.

Like most people, Arnold also believes that after Wan Sheng coached the Hong Kong team, he would definitely bring something unique to the Hong Kong team.

So, what is Wansheng's style?

Anyone who knows Wansheng can think of that kind of superb fast-break football, whether it is in Derby County or Manchester City, Wansheng coaching will make the team play a wonderful, fast combination, this kind of coordination makes the opponent tired when defending, it is difficult to make a complete limit, and at the same time can play a very wonderful football.

But from the first minute of the game to the present, the Hong Kong team has not shown superb coordination and offensive ability, they have been defending, have been defending, which makes Arnold a little confused why, is Wansheng just trying to let the Hong Kong team rely on defense to win?

It was only after more than 80 minutes of the game that Arnold finally figured it out.

That's right, the opponent just wants to rely on defense to win.

Thinking about it from another perspective, if he coaches the Hong Kong team, he will not be able to let the Hong Kong team play gorgeous offensive football, it is simply unrealistic, gorgeous offensive football, the premise is the overall technical strength of the team, the Hong Kong team does not have this kind of technical strength, and it is very difficult to adapt to tactics. Not to mention, it is simply impossible to get the team used to it in half a month.

Further, even if the Hong Kong team adapts to the offensive football style, their strength is there, and playing against Australia is completely tantamount to 'admitting defeat', which is very unrealistic, so for the Hong Kong team, the best choice is to defend.

Defensively. Fight back and the Hong Kong team will have a chance to get points.

After thinking about this, Arnold knew that he was too 'conservative', and if he let the team play more aggressively, then the team could have scored, unlike now, when the game time is running out and the score is still 0:0.

Even he had to admit that this young Chinese had a good hand. It can take a point from Hong Kong under his Australian team...... Awesome!

In the fan stands at Rajamangala Stadium were also the chairman of the Hong Kong Football Association, Leung Kam Tak, and the deputy director general, Lau Kui-chi, who sat in formal attire in the back row of the podium.

The Asian Cup is very important to the Hong Kong Football Association.

Hong Kong, China has not reached the Asian Cup finals for many years. This is also the first time that the Hong Kong, China team has reached the Asian Cup finals since Leung Kwan-tak served as the Hong Kong Football Association, and he believes that this will be a stealing opportunity for the development of Hong Kong football, so he wants to invite a famous coach to host the Hong Kong team. The aim is to make the Hong Kong team shine in the Asian Cup.

Wansheng was strongly invited by Liang Jiande.

He found many people, trusted many connections, and talked about the directors and investors of the association. Even found Hong Kong-Chief Executive-Prime Zeng Yinquan to speak, which led to Wansheng's coaching, and under this effort, the results of the Hong Kong team are naturally crucial.

If the Hong Kong team does not play well, his efforts will be meaningless.

Now that more than 80 minutes have passed the game, Liang Jiande is relatively relieved, unlike the local Thai fans next to him, the fans are watching the excitement of the game, and this game is difficult to call it exciting, so most fans are dissatisfied with the performance of the Hong Kong team, but Liang Jiande is very satisfied, because the Hong Kong team is not lagging behind, he pays attention to the result, not the process.

"Mr. Liang, are we playing well now?" Next to the deputy director general Liu Qizi asked, her frowning eyebrows, obviously a little dissatisfied with the game.

"What's wrong?"

"The Hong Kong team seems to be very passive." Liu Qizi said, "Look at it, we don't have many voices of support. ”

Liang Jinde smiled and said, "The result is the most important thing." As long as we can get this point, it is equivalent to success. Before you watch the game, almost no one is optimistic about the Hong Kong team. But we were drawn, we had a point, we didn't pull behind the other teams. Australia is the strongest in the group! ”

Liu Qizi thought about it, but nodded.

She is in charge of the Hong Kong women's football team in the Hong Kong Football Association, and she does not know much about the men's football game.

Obviously, the game on the field was different from what she thought.

But she didn't say much, because the Hong Kong team didn't fall behind, but she felt that the game was so passive that it was not easy to keep a point.

She is a little unoptimistic about Hong Kong's prospects in the Asian Cup.

————

The clock was already 87 minutes into the game, and even with stoppage time, there were less than five minutes left in the game.

The number shown on the stadium scoreboard is still 0:0.

After Liu Quankun came out, the Hong Kong team's offense improved somewhat, but it was still difficult to pose a threat to the Australian goal, and the Hong Kong team's focus on the game did not change, and it was still defense-oriented.

Seeing that the game is coming to an end, the players are running a lot more actively, they all want to get points in the first game of the Asian Cup, which is also a headache for the Australian players, they have a lot of stars, they are much stronger in the team, but they still haven't scored.

The Australians wanted to score a goal, but at the end of the game, everyone had to admit that Hong Kong defended very well, and even if they tried to adjust and attack seriously in the second half, it was difficult to find many good chances.

Throughout the game, they had a couple of chances, but unfortunately the strikers couldn't take them, and the result was still not a goal.

A lot of players felt that the game was going to end here.

0:0。

It was a difficult score for Australia to accept because they were against Hong Kong, the weakest team in the group. For the Hong Kong team, it is not bad to get this point, it is completely acceptable.

Some players don't think so, such as Hong Kong's striker Cheuk Cheuk.

Before the Asian Cup, Zhuo Zhuo was looking forward to the event, and it was the first time he participated in such a competition. In the final years of his career, he also wanted to show his strength on the world stage, but as a result, he did almost nothing after a match.

There wasn't much time left, and Zhuo Zhuo was still running in the frontcourt.

At this time, some media also began to talk about Zhuo Zhuo, because Zhuo Zhuo did not contribute anything in the whole game, even if he did not perform at all on the offensive end, the number of defensive participation was also very limited. Many Hong Kong media said, "Zhuo Zhuo should be replaced and a defender should be replaced, then the Hong Kong team's defense will be worry-free, and this point can basically be guaranteed." ”

But Zhuo Zhuo kept running.

As stoppage time entered the game, the Australian team attacked more fiercely, they don't know how many times they had made similar attacks, but every time the ball was passed into the penalty area, it was intercepted by the Hong Kong players. After one game, the Australian players also gained experience and they knew that it was difficult to get chances in the middle, so the wide players hoisted the ball straight into the box. Let the strikers go over and grab the points.

This kind of English long pass rushing, it depends on luck to score a goal, but just one chance is enough to decide the outcome of the game.

It's a pity. The Australian player seemed to be too impatient, and the pass was just kicked when it was blocked by the Hong Kong defender with his body.

Football flies high. Fell down again.

Central defender Pan Yaozhuo squeezed Cahill hard and put the ball on top twice in a row, and finally the ball was pushed to the feet of Li Weiwen.

Lee Wai Man is the team's full-back and has very limited offensive ability.

The Australian players didn't take it seriously when they saw the football at the feet of the Hong Kong team, and a few of them in the front court didn't want to run back at all, so they directly forced over on the spot to want to fight back, but Li Weiwen sent the ball to the feet of Pan Yaozhuo very calmly.

As a veteran over 30 years old, Pan Yaozhuo is very experienced, even if he does not have much experience in the competition, but in the face of the pressure of star Viduka, Pan Yaozhuo is not nervous at all, he calmly finds the vacancy, and passes the ball to Liu Quankun.

Liu Quankun got the ball.

It was his fifth time on the ball since coming off the bench.

The first few chances to get the ball were not good, Liu Quankun did not play the performance expected by Wansheng, and one time because of nervousness, the football was snatched away by Australian players.

In this regard, Liu Quankun was very annoyed!

Liu Quankun was a little nervous when he participated in the tournament for the first time, but he also knew what he had to do on the court.

He recalled the words of his coach before the game, "...... When you have the ball, you can pass forward, pay attention to Zhuo Zhuo, or someone else's position, I hope you can use the long pass to find opportunities for the team......"

Chance, chance!? Now is your chance!

After Liu Quankun got it, there was no one on either side, and an opposing player forced over, and at the same time he saw that the Australian players didn't seem to want to pull back the intention of shrinking the formation, even if the football mind was bad, he also knew that now was a good opportunity to counterattack.

The only thing is that this ball must be passed well!

Liu Quankun glanced forward, and there was a teammate, Zhuo Zhuo, this big black man was running forward desperately.

Immediately, he picked up his right leg and slammed it to the side of the ball, sending the ball soaring into the sky and flying forward quickly.

"A Hong Kong midfielder who passes forward ......"

Japanese commentator Itsunori Onodera said very boringly, and it can be heard from his tone that he is completely indifferent to the counterattack of the Hong Kong team.

However, immediately, Onodera Itsunori's tone changed, and he said with some surprise, "Zhuo Zhuo, Hong Kong striker Zhuo Zhuo, he received a pass......!!? ”

“!!!??”

"Zhuo Zhuo received the ball! He's moving forward quickly! ”

Even Onodera Itsunori was aware of the problem, and you can imagine how hot the scene was, and a huge shout erupted at the Ragamangala Stadium, because every fan realized that this was a good opportunity for the Hong Kong team - Zhuo Zhuo successfully countered offside and successfully received a pass from behind him.

"Zhuo Zhuo has been running forward!!"

Always running!

Zhuo Zhuo was followed by Australian star Bresciano, a pretty famous player.

Since the age of 19, Bresciano has been playing in Italy, playing for Empoli, Parma and Palermo, and in July 2002, after signing with Serie A side Parma, Bresciano became the most expensive Australian player at the time for a transfer fee of 23 million Australian dollars ($13 million), surpassing the previous record holder Mark Viduca.

Bresciano can be said to be one of Australia's 'leading stars'!

But now, the Australian 'star of the house' is desperately chasing a black striker who is not well-known in the Hong Kong team, the black striker is carrying the ball, but Bresciano is running with five goals, but the result is different from imagined - Bresciano, as a world-class star, was left far behind by the 'unknown' black striker!

"Hula......"

Looking at Bresciano, it seemed that the distance between him and the black striker was getting farther and farther away, and the fans at the scene were incredible.

"What's going on? This is......? ”

"He's running so fast!"

"Who's that guy? How so fast! ”

"Bresciano simply can't catch up! Could it be that he can't keep up with his physical fitness? ...... for sure."

"He's got the ball with him!"

“……”

Wan Sheng, who was standing on the sidelines, also clenched his fists nervously.

It is not surprising that Zhuo Zhuo can pull down Bresciano with the ball, Zhuo Zhuo is a very fast player, coupled with the speed bonus of the 'Quick Dash' skill to counterattack, it is normal for him to be able to pull down Bresciano, who has no advantage in speed.

This is the best chance the team has had since the opening!

"You have to get in!"

Wan Sheng gritted his teeth.

In front of the Australian penalty area, Zhuo Zhuo has already stabbed alone!

"Single Knife!" Gao Jixian, the online live broadcast commentator of Super Sports S Channel, shouted, "We seem to be ...... this time. Hong Kong's best chance since the opening! ”

"The duel between Zhuo Zhuo and Schwarzer......"

Amidst all kinds of exclamations, the reporters and fans who were a little drowsy watching the game all raised their heads and stared in the direction of the Australian goal with wide eyes.

Zhuo Zhuo!

Single Knife!

One!

It's a head-to-head battle between striker and goalkeeper!

Zhuo Zhuo's speed was impressive, and as he was about to enter the penalty area, he slowed down and prepared to pace his body for the final blow.

Australian goalkeeper Schwarzer rushed out.

The two are getting closer.

The fans in the audience shouted louder and louder, and Wan Sheng on the sidelines also gritted his teeth and squeezed out one shout after another, "Score!" Be sure to enter! Goal! Enter! Enter! Enter! ......"

It was only a moment, but it felt like a long time, and finally, Zhuo Zhuo's right foot was straight behind the ball.

The soccer ball rushes straight to the goal!

Schwarzer pounced head-on, and his right hand subconsciously waved to block the ball, but the distance was still a little short, and the football had already rushed over first.

Everyone, eyes widen, take a deep breath.

As Schwarzer fell to the ground, he turned his head with the football, praying in his heart that the ball would miss, but God didn't seem to show much favor to the Australians, and the ball almost hit the side-netting against the goalpost and bounced into the goal.

"The ball went in !!?" (To be continued.) )
