Chapter Forty-Six: The Japanese Team Rushes to Siege

All the Japanese pairs on the court, except for their goalkeeper Shuichi Gonda, are running and pressing at all costs. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Their ears seemed to be echoing the advice of head coach Takashi Sekizuka: "...... The Chinese team would never have imagined that we would suddenly change our usual style, so we could catch them off guard! But this Chinese team is different from the Chinese team you have in the past, they will not collapse easily! They have a strong midfield and the ability to self-adjust. After the initial panic, they will definitely make adjustments. So there won't be much time left for you, you have to score as soon as possible!

Pressing in the front court is actually for the purpose of scoring goals, and if you can cut off the ball directly in the front court, the threat to the Chinese team's goal will naturally be greater.

Every player in the Japanese Olympic team has the belief that they are strong on the pitch, they are goal-oriented, they are motivated, and they are naturally very good.

The Chinese team was caught off guard by the Japanese team because they were unprepared, and they seemed to be in a hurry in the face of the Japanese team's encirclement.

Chinese players have always had a very mixed mentality towards Japanese players.

On the one hand, the ability and level of Japanese players are indeed above that of Chinese players, but on the other hand, due to the historical grievances between China and Japan, Chinese players rarely have a good impression of Japanese players.

On the one hand, the strength is inferior to the other party, and on the other hand, they look down on the other party.

This ambivalent mentality has dominated Chinese players for a long time. In this Olympic Games, the Chinese team performed very well, eliminating the South Korean team in the quarterfinals, destroying South Korea again, and making the Korean phobia disappear. The semi-final win over Brazil greatly stimulated the players of the national Olympic team, and they were certainly not able to take the Japanese Olympic team seriously.

Although it is a bit unbelievable to say this, in fact, it is indeed the Chinese Olympic team that faced their opponent Japan Olympic team in the final, and they were a little light......

The mood of underestimating the enemy and the Japanese team's all-out efforts suddenly turned unfavorable to the Chinese team.

And what's even more serious is their restriction on Zhouyi.

※※※

In fact, from the time he just kicked off, Zhou Yi found that there was one more person beside him.

Hotaru Yamaguchi, the back-back of the Japanese Olympic team.

This person is like a shadow of himself, he goes wherever he goes.

He pulls to the side, and Hotaru Yamaguchi follows to the side. When he returned to the middle lane, he followed him. He retreated to the edge of the penalty area, and he also ran to the edge of the penalty area, even if he was actually on the same line as the Japanese team's striker Kensuke Nagai at this time.

Is this the back of the back?

It's a free man!

Before this game, Zhou Yi has simulated dozens of matches with the Japanese team in the virtual space, and the virtual system simulates the tactics of the "virtual Japanese Olympic team" based on the usual tactics of the Japanese team in the real world.

If you want to say that in the simulated match with Schalke 04, Yang Muge will run with him, Zhou Yi is not surprised at all, because Schalke 04 has dealt with himself like this in the real game.

But Japan has never used such extreme man-to-man defensive tactics.

Of course, Zhou Yi has never played against the Japanese team, whether it is in the national team or the national Olympic team......

So this is a completely new situation for Zhou Yi and a real accident.

After having a virtual system, in fact, on the real football field, there are not many times when Zhou Yi can be surprised.

This arrangement of the Japanese team did bring some trouble to Zhou Yi, no matter where he went, Hotaru Yamaguchi was by his side, even if he kicked the football forward and passed it long, the other players of the Japanese team withdrew to participate in the defense, and Hotaru Yamaguchi was still by his side.

He Ping saw this scene in the commentary seat and felt very funny: "It seems that Hotaru Yamaguchi is in love with Zhou Yi, and he has a date with him on the court!"

Mark Lawrenson also said: "The Japanese team really did everything to defend Zhou Yi. It's a scene I've never seen before, with a midfielder at the front of the Japanese formation...... They are really afraid of Zhou Yi, and in order to make Zhou Yi useless, the Japanese team also paid the price of one less person in the midfield. But for now...... It's still working. ”

The rush in the front court and the strict restrictions on Zhou Yi made the Chinese team play very awkwardly, and the Japanese team was like a fish in water.

Finally, in the eighteenth minute, the Japanese team broke the ball from the feet of Zhang Jiadong through a series of mad dog-like sieges in the frontcourt, and then launched a counterattack on the spot.

When the football fell to Yuki Otsu, the Chinese team had not yet had time to organize an effective defense.

Then Yuki Otsu fired a low shot near the penalty spot, and the ball was blocked by Sun Pan, who fell to the ground, but still jumped into the goal......

"Oops!" He Ping exclaimed. "This goal has been scored! The Japanese team has scored first! The Chinese team has been directly robbed by the Japanese team this time......"

The chagrin and disappointment in his tone was undisguised.

"Yuki Otsu! Great goal! This is a very important goal for Japan! The deadlock has been broken!" said Mark Laurenson excitedly. He's a neutral commentator and he's happy to see everything that makes the game more exciting.

With the Japanese team ahead, how will the Chinese team counterattack? He will wait and see now.

The Japanese commentator excitedly raised his arms and shouted: "Yuki Otsu! Yuki Otsu! Yuki Otsu! We are ahead! Long live Japan! Long live Japan! Sprint to the gold medal! We will make history!"

※※※

On the Chinese Internet, when Yuki Otsu scored, there were countless scoldings, how ugly it sounded, after all, there has always been an old grudge between China and Japan, and being scored by the Japanese team is not only disappointed, but also angry.

And Zhang Jiadong, who was cut off the ball, also became the target of attack.

In fact, although Zhang Jiadong couldn't hear the domestic scolding, he himself knew that the responsibility for the lost goal was him, because the football was broken at his feet.

After conceding the ball, he tried desperately to get back to defense, but to no avail. Rushing into the penalty area, he covered his face with his hands, very frustrated and annoyed.

Yuki Otsu, who scored the goal, excitedly ran past him, ran to the camera lens in the corner flag area, and then slipped on his knees and celebrated beautifully.

The rest of the Japanese players also ran over with joy.

They have fulfilled the task given to them by the manager, and everyone is full of confidence in their hearts to win! This goal shows that their pressing tactics in the midfield are correct, since the method is correct, the direction is correct, so just keep going!

The Japanese players celebrated with the belief that they could definitely beat the Chinese team as long as they continued to play like this.

Compared with the excited Japanese players, the players of the Chinese team were a little stunned, almost all of them were stunned.

Before the game, they beat Brazil, who thought that if they won the Japanese team, the gold medal would be in their hands, and some of them were even looking forward to how they would perform well when they reached the top of the Olympic podium. Their outstanding performance in the Olympics made them feel that the Japanese team was not their opponent at all, but they were beaten by the Japanese team first......

This kind of gap is really shocking.

Sun Pan, who was attacked by "Little Japan", jumped up from the ground angrily, opened his mouth and wanted to curse, but his mouth was open, but he didn't make a sound, he endured this breath stubbornly, gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.

He couldn't scold Zhang Jiadong who was cut off the ball, and he couldn't scold the other teammates in the back line who didn't close to the center in time, so it would be infighting.

Zhang Jiadong was still feeling guilty for losing the ball, Zhou Yi had already come to his side and pressed his hand on his shoulder: "This is not your pot." ”

He said.

Zhang Jiadong put down his hand to hide his face and looked at Zhou Yi, not knowing what to say.

Zhou Yi didn't say anything more, just patted him on the shoulder.

Then he stood beside Zhang Jiadong and slapped him hard, as if he was deliberately clapping, his movements and the sound he made attracted the attention of many people, not only Chinese players, but also some Japanese players and fans.

After attracting everyone's attention, Zhou Yi raised his arm: "Come here!"

He shouted.

"Come and have a meeting!" (To be continued.) )
