Chapter 275: A Historic Victory

He Ying's goal really put the Japanese team in a huge predicament. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

It's not that they weren't prepared enough before the game, and they anticipated the difficulties of the current Chinese team away from home.

But when it came time to play, they found that the pre-game preparation still seemed to be insufficient......

Sun Pan's extraordinary performance made their attacks return again and again.

Zhou Yi's excellent play made the Chinese team's attack very active, and Zhou Yi also scored a goal of his own, which put Japan in a very passive position.

Now, He Ying has appeared again, and it is simply impossible to prevent it......

Zaccheroni couldn't come up with a better way to deal with such a situation.

The restrictions on Zhou Yi were tightened in the second half, but at the expense of defending against other Chinese players. Sure enough, He Ying's outstanding performance made another city for the Chinese team.

There are only a few defensive forces, and most of the defensive strength is used up on Zhou Yi, and the other Chinese team players will face the problem of lack of major generals.

And now it's not as simple as strengthening the defense - after falling behind by two goals, should the Japanese team fight back, or should they attack?

If you want to attack, you have to invest more troops in the attack, and the defense will be even more stretched.

What should I do if I am attacked by the Chinese team again?

If you choose to strengthen your defense and the goal is not to continue to concede goals, what about the score of 0:2 down?

Even if you don't concede a goal, but you can't equalize, do you end the game with this score?

That was also a bit difficult for Zaccheroni to accept......

The Japanese players also had a hard time accepting the result.

They know that the Chinese team has become stronger, but in any case, the Japanese national team has not lost to this national team, they beat the Chinese team in the Asian Cup final, and in the first leg of the top 10 match, they drew with the Chinese team.

So when they come to the away game, they are also full of confidence and want to avenge the national Olympic team.

But who knows...... It turned out to be such a result.

Not only was the score two goals behind, but the Japanese team also had the upper hand on the field.

This hurt the Japanese players, who have always been proud.

They always think that Japan is the best team in Asia, and this seems to be the case in terms of the number of Asian Cup wins. In the early years, Japanese football has been seeking to "break away from Asia and enter Europe", hoping to get rid of the low level of Asian football and go to Europe with a higher level, and compete with those strong teams, so that the level of Japanese football can be further grown.

They feel that there is nothing to do in Asia anymore, the opponents are too weak to be mentioned, and playing against them is a waste of time. In the long run, playing against opponents with a low total level can only make your own level drop.

As a result, now the Chinese team has given them a solid shot.

The Nippon TV commentator didn't know what to say about the second goal, so he sighed and kept repeating "too bad".

It's really bad for Japanese football, and the opponents who looked down on them back then are now knocking them to the ground.

The Chinese fans in the stands were excited, and soon the whole chorus sounded, and the song title "Defending the Yellow River":

"The wind is roaring, the horses are barking! The Yellow River is roaring! The Yellow River is roaring! The hills in Hexi are ten thousand feet high, and the sorghum in Hedong and Hebei is ripe! There are really many anti-Japanese heroes in the mountains! In the green gauze tent, the guerrillas are heroic! They are holding up their native guns and foreign cannons, and they are wielding broadswords and spears......

The name of "Yellow River Cantata" may be known to many Chinese, but it is difficult to say how many people can sing it in its entirety nowadays, even if it is the most widely sung "Defending the Yellow River" in "Yellow River Cantata", not everyone can sing this lyric completely. Obviously, Changsha fans have specially prepared for this game, and this song has also been practiced repeatedly, at least, the lyrics have been sent to the vast majority of fans.

So this chorus song is now sung in unison by 60,000 Chinese fans, which is really majestic and resonates with the world.

“...... Defend the Yellow River, Defend North China, Defend the Whole of China -- !!"

The last three sentences were sung by the fans in "roar", and after they finished roaring, a burst of cheers rang out over the stadium.

It's been a long, long time since Chinese fans have been so proud in front of the Japanese team.

Although the Olympic team defeated the Japanese Olympic team at the London Olympics, it was in London, England, thousands of miles away, not in China.

The Japanese players didn't understand the meaning of the song sung by the Chinese fans, but the momentum of the fans still made them feel a little nervous.

It's the pressure you have to endure when you're away from home.

On the bench, a Japanese player lowered his head and said worriedly: "They're not going to tear us up, right?"

"Thinking too much, that's fake, the special effects ......" his teammates comforted him, but his brow did not stretch. Although the Chinese may not directly tear the devil apart, it may not be easy to retreat from here.

In the 2004 Asian Cup final, Japan defeated China, and after the game, angry Chinese fans overturned the car and burned the Japanese flag...... Cause a riot.

What if you do it again?

They're here to play football, not to fight......

The only thing they can use to comfort themselves is that now that the Chinese team is ahead, it is better to let the Chinese team win than to let the Chinese team lose......

Wait, it doesn't seem like a safe thing for us to lose, right?

※※※

The Japanese players on the bench were tormented.

The Japanese players on the pitch were also torn apart – should they attack or defend?

Zaccheroni did not immediately offer a response.

After the game restarted, they had to do what they wanted.

Attacking players almost always advocate attacking, while defenders feel that it is the right thing to do to defend first and avoid conceding goals in a short period of time.

As a result, the Japanese team showed a split state in the game.

It will take a lot of effort for the all-out Japanese team to defeat the Chinese team, let alone the divided Japanese team.

In the next game, the Chinese team had the advantage.

During this time, Kawashima Eiji became the busiest person.

This made Sun Pan a little unhappy......

※※※

Zaccheroni finally made the decision - attack!

Anyway, they are two goals behind, so what is there to worry about? Even if they don't continue to concede goals, it will be a 0-2 defeat. And if he fights back, there is still hope for an equalizer - at this time, he no longer has the luxury of beating the Chinese team.

As long as you can get away from the away game, you can make him happy.

As for the fact that the Japanese media and fans were not satisfied with the result, he didn't care.

He is an Italian, what are the grievances between Japan and China in the past and present, and what does it matter to him?

The Japanese team is attacking with all its might, and of course the Chinese team will not be intimidated -- when the morale of the Chinese team is now booming, everyone is full of confidence, how can they retract when facing the Japanese team's attack? Of course, they have to go head-to-head with the Japanese team.

The two sides attacked each other like this, and they played very beautifully.

After all, the attacking firepower of the Japanese team is also first-class in Asia.

As the goalkeeper of the Chinese team, seeing that the Japanese team's offense was finally like a point, Sun Pan became happy, and brushed his presence with one wonderful save after another.

As a result, until the end of the game, the Japanese team could not equalize, not even a single goal......

In the end, the Chinese team defeated the Japanese team 2-0 at home and won the battle for the top spot in the group.

"The game is over—!" Duan Xin shouted excitedly when the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game. Although there was no suspense about the outcome, he was still excited.

"The Chinese team defeated the Japanese team 2-0 at home! Not only did they get the right to qualify for the World Cup, but they also ensured that they became the top team in the group! It was very important for the Japanese team to win! I think the victory in this game is even historic!"

And the Japanese commentator was frustrated: "The game is over...... Japan lost 2-0 away from home, and we were at a disadvantage both in terms of the score and the game. Before you know it, Chinese football has re-emerged as a force that can threaten Japanese football......"

In the middle of the field, the players of the Chinese team were celebrating the victory, and Zhou Yi found Shinji Kagawa and exchanged jerseys with him.

'Hopefully we'll meet again at the World Cup, then it's not so easy for you to win. Shinji Kagawa took Zhou Yi's jersey and said to him.

Zhou Yi smiled: "That has to be in the knockout round, for us, entering the knockout round will make history." When the time comes, we will have no desires and no desires, Kagawa, have you ever heard of what it means to be 'just without desire'?"
