Chapter 1240: Top Eight in the World
Time is getting less and less, and the American team is also out of the way, and the whole team presses up and launches a tidal wave of attacks on the Chinese team. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
This time, the Chinese team did not make the mistakes that the previous Chinese team often made, and they were not conservative after taking the lead, and they also pressed out to attack the American team from time to time, which made the American defenders beat and did not dare to go all out to assist.
In the 80th minute of the game, the Chinese team suddenly launched a fierce attack, Huang Bo made a long pass in the midfield, Chen Yu **** stopped the ball, two players in the American midfielder sandwiched the defense, Bocanegra reached out to pull, and the other ball was tackled, but it may be because his teammates are defending, and the strength of the two defenses is a little smaller. Chen Yu was neither tackled nor pulled down, he held the ground with his hand, staggered into the left rib of the penalty area, and stabbed a left-footed shot from 12 yards in the face of the attacking goalkeeper Howard, the ball flew into the goal from Howard's feet, and the Chinese team led the United States team 2-0.
This is Chen Yu's fifth World Cup goal, with this goal, Chen Yu continues to lead the scorer list, because the number of goals in the last few World Cups has not exceeded 6 goals, Chen Yu is very hopeful of winning the Golden Boot of this World Cup.
It was the goal that sealed the victory, and after the goal was scored, all the Chinese fans jumped up and shouted victory, and the Chinese players also rushed to Chen Yu, knocking him down on the turf and stacking Luohan.
When the U.S. team conceded a goal first, former U.S. President Clinton in the stands sat firmly on the Diaoyu Tai, his demeanor was quite relaxed, and he was chatting and laughing with his friends.
Several of the FIFA presidents in the VIP box applauded, but only FIFA President Seppat and AFC President Hammam were the most happy, and the others smiled politely.
With ten minutes to go, the U.S. were two goals behind and the U.S. players were in a hurry as they launched the most furious attack since the start of the season to try to salvage the defeat.
After scoring the second goal, the spirit of the Chinese team unconsciously relaxed, coupled with too much physical consumption, the defensive intensity naturally came down, giving the American team a lot of shooting opportunities, two of which were still in the small penalty area, but the American players were obviously a little impatient, and they couldn't grasp the good opportunities, so that the American fans in the stands were so anxious that they couldn't go up and kick twice.
In the 88th minute of the game, the midfielders of the American team simply did not pass, Dempsey used his speed to forcibly shake Du Wei and burst into the penalty area, **** did not hesitate to put a shovel behind his back and shoveled Dempsey to the ground.
The referee did not hesitate to award a penalty and showed a red card to send **** off the field.
The U.S. team took the penalty kick by their core Donovan, who easily deceived Zeng Lei to score the ball, and the score became 1-2, and the Chinese team was still ahead.
A minute has passed, the score difference is only one goal, and the Chinese team has been sent off by one person, and the Americans see hope again, and the American fans in the stands are singing the national anthem loudly, encouraging the American players to defend and make a last-ditch effort.
The players of the U.S. team saw the spark of hope and became excited, leaving only one goalkeeper behind, and the others all pressed into the Chinese team's half and besieged the Chinese team's penalty area.
The fourth official on the sidelines raised the sign of stoppage time, five minutes, which made the coaches and substitutes of the Chinese team very dissatisfied, they thought that three minutes was about the same, five minutes was too much, but it was useless to complain, and the time of stoppage time could not be changed.
The situation of the Chinese team is very tense, and many Chinese fans can't help but think of the black three minutes that often happen at this time, and it is not delusional to score another goal in the last five minutes with the momentum of the American team.
In order to disrupt the rhythm and momentum of the American team, the Chinese team made another substitution at this time, and the defensive defender Liu Jian replaced Qu Bo, and the Chinese team was determined to defend to the end.
Although Qu Bo is known as a boy chasing the wind, but at this time he also understands the coach's intentions, and when he leaves the court, he is slow, like an eighty-year-old lady, so that the players of the American team run over and push him to make him go faster.
Before Qu Bo could react, Chen Yu immediately came over, as if to protect Qu Bo, and pushed the players of the American team back.
At this time, the other players of the Chinese team also understood Chen Yu's intentions and hurriedly ran over to protect Qu Bo.
The Americans are also very smart, and when they saw that the Chinese team's posture was trying to delay time, they didn't run over and let the referee deal with the matter.
The referee told Qu Bo to leave the field quickly, and then showed Chen Yu a yellow card.
The game continued to start, and a minute of stoppage time had passed, and the key was not in the minute of delay, but after this episode, the players of the Chinese team had time to breathe and communicate, while the momentum and rhythm of the American team were disrupted, and they could no longer play the smooth offensive before the substitution.
In the five minutes of stoppage time, the U.S. team exhausted all kinds of methods, and there were as many as eight crosses alone, but the striker was still incompetent, and the other players were not able to take advantage of the opportunity, and at the last moment, Adu hit the post with a push, and the ball bounced off the bottom line, which also announced that the dream of the American team to enter the quarterfinals was shattered.
When the referee blew the whistle at the end of the game, the Chinese team players, who were so tired that they were about to collapse, suddenly came to their senses, they took off their shirts and rushed to the stands, shouting at the fans in the stands, and the excitement was almost unbearable.
The fans in the stands are much crazier than the players of the Chinese team, the fans in front jump into the stadium like dumplings regardless of the danger, and the fans in the back squeeze forward frantically, wanting to see the players on the field more closely.
The scene was a bit chaotic, and the security guards all ran to the stands of the Chinese team fans to maintain order.
He Shishi didn't have time to compose poems at this time, so he just yelled excitedly, "The game is over!" The game is over! The Chinese team enters the quarterfinals! The last five minutes were so hard! Every second is so long! I've watched the game for more than 20 years and I've never been so worried as I am today! But the results are wonderful! We're in the quarter-finals of the World Cup! Chinese's football dream has come true and we have become a world powerhouse......"
The Chinese went into carnival mode, while the Americans fell into endless pain, and the American team played very hard in this game, creating a large basket of shooting opportunities, but they only scored one penalty, which made the American players and fans lose a lot.
The U.S. players didn't want to watch the Chinese team celebrate, and as soon as the whistle blew, they immediately walked to the locker room with their heads down, without even greeting the fans.
Clinton in the VIP box couldn't help but shake his head regretfully, he watched all the games of the American team on the spot, the American team did not lose, this time he also wanted to bring some good luck to the American team, but he didn't expect that the American team lost this time, or lost to the Chinese team, which made Clinton very embarrassed, and said hello to several football federation presidents, and Clinton left in a hurry.
After the game, the major media regarded the Chinese team as a big dark horse, because the next round of the Chinese team faced the Uruguayan team, and no one dared to conclude that the Chinese team would not continue to upset, after all, Uruguay played a defensive counterattack, and the strength was not so unattainable, and the Chinese team had the hope of an upset.
With Chen Yu's fifth goal of the World Cup, the former World Footballer of the Year, the Chinese team defeated the United States 2-1 and successfully entered the top 8 of the World Cup in South Africa. After the game, the world's major media reported the game in detail for the first time. Whether it is the Associated Press, Reuters or AFP, almost all of the reports focused on the Real Madrid superstar Chen Yu, who performed well in this game, and made it clear that his goal ensured that the Chinese team, which participated in the World Cup for the second time, made a breakthrough in the World Cup.
After the game, the American media also gave a detailed introduction to the game. "Sports Illustrated": Three major factors led to the defeat, one is that he did not look at Chen Yu, the core of the Chinese team, and let him score twice, the second is that goalkeeper Howard played abnormally, and the third is that the striker's ability to grasp the opportunity is too poor, otherwise it will be the American team that will advance.
The Time magazine website reported on the match with the headline "Ghana knocks out the United States for two consecutive World Cups". The article said that the Sino-US war, which was hyped before the game, was finally the weaker Chinese team that defeated the American GIs with a score of 2-1 and advanced to the top 8. However, while the article regretted that the United States team lost the game, it was also satisfied with the fighting spirit shown by the American team when the score was behind, even if it lost the game, but the players of the American team still put great pressure on the Chinese team, but the lack of skills could not change the score on the field, but there is a good striker who does not need to accept the fate of being eliminated by the opponent.
China's domestic sports media barely reported on the Chinese team's quarter-finals after they reached the quarterfinals, and almost all the pages were devoted to the Chinese team, and even national mouthpieces such as Xinhua Daily and People's Daily reported the good news on important pages.
"Xinhua Daily" introduced the game with the title of "The Chinese Team Shoots Down the American Team". The article said that Chen Yu's goal in the 80th minute not only made him the biggest contender for the World Cup Golden Boot, but also pushed the American team that tried to equalize into the bottomless abyss, although the United States team pulled back a goal in the 88th minute and played one more, but the clumsy forward line did not grasp the scoring opportunity, so that the United States team had to say goodbye to the World Cup in South Africa.
The Chinese team is playing in the World Cup for the second time, they are generally not favored, but the Chinese team has reached the top 8 in one fell swoop, becoming the blackest dark horse, and next Friday the Chinese team will compete with Uruguay for a place in the semi-finals, and they may be expected to equal the best World Cup record in Asia.
"People's Daily": Chen Yu sent the Chinese team to the top 8, and he also became the brightest star of the World Cup.
The news network not only spent more than two minutes to broadcast the news that the Chinese team reached the quarterfinals, but also broadcast the two goals scored by Chen Yu, and gave Chen Yu the title of national hero.
The Chinese team has become purple at home, but the Chinese players do not know that they have now exceeded their goal, and the next thing is to enjoy the game and try to equal the World Cup semi-finals set by the Koreans on their own doorstep.
