Chapter 1236: The Crucial Second Battle (Part II)
Because the central defender was a little far away from Chen Yu, Chen Yu was very powerful when he shot the goal, and the ball flew towards the goal like a cannonball against the turf. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Chen Yu was running, it was difficult to play a very tricky angle, this shot was not pure power, but also a little outside instep in order to confuse the opponent's goalkeeper.
Ghanaian goalkeeper Kingston was very well prepared for Chen Yu's long-range shot, and he didn't feel bad when he saw the angle, he almost didn't move, and fell directly to the ground to save, trying to hold the ball in his arms.
But after the ball touched his hand, Kingston realized that the ball was still spinning, and he was unsteady in his pounce, and the ball flew out of his hand.
Qu Bo did not pause when Chen Yu was shooting, he continued to sprint forward, which is the correct awareness of a striker, no matter the quality of his teammates' shots, he must have the awareness of making up shots.
At this time, Qu Bo's speed and consciousness played a decisive role, when Chen Yu shot, Ghana's defenders were stunned for a moment, and they were stunned for a moment, and the Ghanaian defender Adi, who defended Qu Bo, was a step slower, and saw that Qu Bo was about to hit the empty goal, and the Ghana defender Adi was in a hurry, and reached out and dragged Qu Bo down.
Beep!
Referee Rossetti's whistle blew and he pointed to the penalty spot before showing a red card to defender Adi.
The Ghanaian players were mentally prepared for the penalty decision, but they could not accept the red card, and the black brothers of Ghana surrounded and appealed to the referee Rossetti, hoping to cancel the red card.
Rossetti, who hated nothing more than the player's defiance of his authority, not only did he not cancel the red card, but also gave Ghanaian midfielder Asamoah a yellow card.
The Ghanaian players felt the referee's malice and did not dare to protest again, so they could only accept the decision.
The players of the Chinese team over there were very excited, Qu Bo even waved his fists again and again to celebrate, and even Chen Yu came over to hug Qu Bo and expressed his appreciation for the supplementary shot he had just made.
The penalty is naturally taken by Chen Yu, on such an occasion, in such a situation, the penalty also requires a very high psychological quality, and the Chinese team except Chen Yu can ensure that this penalty is scored.
Chen Yu stood in front of the penalty spot, Ghana goalkeeper Kingston was very nervous, he jumped around like a monkey in front of the goal, hoping to interfere with Chen Yu, but Chen Yu was unmoved, referee Rossetti's whistle sounded, he easily pushed a far corner.
It's an extremely tricky angle, just against the post, and although the power is not great, goalkeeper Kingston can't reach it, and can only watch the ball roll into the net.
1:0
Chen Yu scored China's second goal of the World Cup, and the Chinese team took the lead in the 23rd minute, while also having one more opponent in terms of numbers, and the hope of winning was greatly increased.
After the goal, the Chinese fans, players and coaches celebrated wildly, a favourable situation that no one expected before the game, and if they win this game, they may even hope to progress to the round of 16, which is simply wonderful.
However, Chen Yu is not as crazy as his teammates, as a player on the field, he is very clear about the comparison of the strength of the two sides, don't look at Ghana is one less, their strength is still on par with the Chinese team, if the Chinese team relaxes its defense, or even strengthens the attack, it may be reversed by the shameful Ghana team.
Chen Yu called his teammates over and asked them to continue to maintain their original defensive intensity, play the tactics formulated before the game, and not attack easily, and one less opponent is not a fish belly.
After the World Cup qualifiers and the Olympic Games, Chen Yu has established absolute authority in the hearts of the players of the Chinese team, his words are more effective than the coach, if he wants to abolish a coach, it is really a matter of words, more effective than the Football Association, the players listen to him, although some people feel that the situation may not be as Chen Yu said, but he does not dare not listen to Chen Yu's words, and they all honestly follow Chen Yu's words.
Soon the players felt the correctness of Chen Yu's judgment again, the Ghana team with one less person cheered up, the three armies were killed, and they played more threatening than when the lineup was complete, and the counterattack after the break was extremely fast, and the Chinese team began to slack off a little and was almost broken by Ghana striker Gyan.
Then the Chinese team did not dare to be careless, still to the goal before the same united defensive counterattack, one less person Ghana after all is still one less, full attack, the back of the hole is bigger, the first half because of their concentration, full of energy, but also able to make up for the hole, but just after ten minutes in the second half, their defense line was out of the hole, Chen Yu and Zheng Hua, Shao Gang launched a quick counterattack, Chen Yu broke through to the bottom line and crossed the middle, Qu Bo followed up in the middle of the shovel, sent the ball into the door of the Ghana team again, and rewrote the score to 2:0.
Then Ghana tried its best to equalize, but the Chinese team played more and more confident, and the physical fitness of the Ghana players began to be unable to support, the game 90 minutes, Ghana pressed the whole army, trying to get a goal, but the Chinese team goalkeeper Zeng Lei grabbed Ghana's cross, and threw the ball to find Chen Yu, Chen Yu took the ball and drove straight along the side, forming a single goal, the goalkeeper took the risk to attack, but was passed by Chen Yu and hit the empty goal.
At the last moment, Chen Yu locked the score to 3:0.
After two rounds of Group D, the Chinese team, the German team, Ghana, and Serbia all accumulated 3 points, forming a chain set, Germany won China, China won Ghana, Ghana won Serbia, and Serbia won Germany.
In this way, the German team has scored more goals, but continues to top the list, the Chinese team scored 4 goals and conceded 4 goals, the goal difference is zero, Serbia scores one goal and concedes one goal, and the goal difference is also zero, but the Chinese team scores more goals, beating Serbia to rank second in the group, Serbia ranks third, and Ghana ranks fourth.
In the final round, Ghana must beat Germany to qualify, while China are in the best position to draw with Serbia to qualify from the group, while Serbia must beat China to qualify.
In the following group matches, the Netherlands in Group E were still in excellent form, beating Japan 1-0 to win two games and qualify for the group early, while Cameroon lost 1-2 to Denmark and were eliminated one round earlier.
In the final round, Japan and Denmark will face each other directly, with Japan qualifying with a draw, while Denmark will need to win to advance to the round of 16.
In the second round of Group F, Paraguay used defensive counterattacks to easily defeat Slovakia 2-0, while Italy continued the tradition of slow heat, being forced to draw 1:1 by New Zealand, and the situation of qualifying after two consecutive draws was a bit bad, and they had to beat Slovakia in the final round to qualify from the group.
Brazil in Group G continued to dominate, easily beating Ivory Coast 3-1 to advance to the round of 16 one round earlier, while Portugal also beat North Korea to the bottom of the game, with a score of 7:0 also creating the most disparity in this World Cup.
In the final round, Portugal only needs a draw to qualify, while Ivory Coast will have to look at the face of the Brazilians even if they beat North Korea, and their fate is no longer in their own hands.
Group H matches are finally back to normal, the favourites Spain beat Honduras 2-0 in the first round after an upset, laying the foundation for qualifying, while Chile beat Switzerland 1-0, winning two games, the hope of qualifying from the group is very high, as long as the final round draw, they can guarantee the first place in the group, while Switzerland must beat Honduras if they want to qualify.
The second round of the World Cup group stage is a round of the Chinese team that impresses the world, originally all the teams thought that the Chinese team was a fish belly that Chen Yu could not support, and the qualifying places in Group D would be between Germany, Ghana and Serbia, but I did not expect the Chinese team to be upset in this round, defeating Ghana 3:0, ranking first in the group, and the last round as long as Serbia was drawn to qualify.
The performance of the Chinese team has also won praise from all over the world, and it is believed that the Chinese team has finally completed the scoring in the World Cup finals, and has written a lot of color in its own football history. But no one is optimistic that the Chinese team can draw against Serbia, who beat the German team.
Because the Chinese team beat Ghana because Ghana was sent off in the first half 23 minutes, and Ghana was in a hurry to attack, giving the Chinese team a chance to counterattack, if Ghana's mood is stable, at least it will not lose so badly, with the situation that the four teams have 3 points, the small score is actually very critical.
Many European media believe that Africans are too brainless, with the situation of the game at that time, Ghana does not have to rush to attack when it is behind, the Chinese team will not be satisfied with the score of 1 to 0, the score of 1 to 0 means that the Chinese team must defeat Serbia in the last round to advance, the Chinese team will definitely choose to attack by playing one more person, at that time Ghana will fight back, the probability of scoring is very large, but due to the onslaught of the Ghanaians, the Chinese team can comfortably counterattack, and finally it became a big victory and won the initiative of the group.
The first game of the Chinese team and the German team played very badly, and the Chinese fans who had secretly had a trace of illusions about the Chinese team also gave up their illusions, and even the Chinese Football Association and the General Administration of Sports felt that the requirements for qualifying from the group were higher after the first round of games, but they did not expect the Chinese team to make a big surprise in the second game, beating Ghana 3:0.
That was a 1-0 win over Serbia's Ghana, which also means that the Chinese team has the ability to wrestle with Serbia, and as long as the Chinese team draws with Serbia in the last round, they can qualify from the group.
Chinese fans are boiling, on the Internet, in newspapers, on TV, all football-related programs have begun to make up for football rules and simple mathematical permutations, analyzing under what circumstances the Chinese team can qualify, under what circumstances the Chinese team can not qualify, and what is the probability of qualifying.
Fans and reporters can calculate the probability, but the Chinese players don't have this leisure, football is not gambling, it is based on strength, the so-called probability is useless in football, the Chinese team wants to qualify from the group, relying on correct tactics, hard work and a little bit of good luck.
In the week after the second round, the coaching staff of the Chinese team studied all the Serbian game videos that could be found, and consulted some football celebrities who have close ties with China, and then formulated tactics to restrain Serbia, and conducted closed training to prevent tactics from leaking out.
Although the Chinese team defeated Ghana 3:0, Serbia still did not think that the Chinese team could threaten them, because Ghana was 10 people at the time, Serbia thought that it was powerless, and the Chinese team that lost to Germany 1:4 was the real Chinese team, and the German team was placed under their hands, so it is reasonable for Serbia to look down on the Chinese team.
