Chapter 197: Everyone Stand Up, Give Me a Round of Applause!

Japan were mostly defending there from the start, and it wasn't until the 15th minute that they had their first shot of the day.

But for this Japanese team, you can boast that their midfield is not bad, the breakthrough of the two cores is quite sharp, and the passing is really accurate.

You can even praise their defense for being quite three-dimensional, especially in terms of forming a local numerical advantage, which is much better than the Chinese first team.

But the striker of the Japanese team can't boast a little, that is the existence of the same as the Chinese team.

So Japan's first shot, although the opportunity was really created, Naoyasu Takahara's weak shot was like a pass to the goalkeeper.

After Kong Xiaochuan easily confiscated the ball, his combat power actually rose to 82!

Well, Kong Xiaochuan originally had little chance of breaking through the 8th Series Great Consummation.

But if Asia's biggest teams are so keen to hide, he has a chance to realise most of his potential.

Of course, the Macau team's offense is not much better, and there is really no right to laugh at people in this regard.

This is because Zhang Desheng mainly played a role in the opening game, and he did attract a lot of defense, which gave the other players of the Macau team a lot of room to play, but he did not have much desire to take the ball to attack the attack.

However, this kind of game, which is about the right to qualify, still makes the young Macau players a little bit unable to let go, and they have been playing a little tight since the opening.

Levi's efficiency is not high enough, although his foot skills are very good, but the ability to read and defend on the court is obviously not good enough, it is difficult to find the best offensive route in the first time after holding the ball, and the penetration when breaking through is also a little insufficient.

This made it impossible for him to dribble into the penalty area at the first time, and naturally he could not penetrate the three-dimensional defense of the Japanese team.

Zhang Desheng also shook his head a little in his heart, if it is replaced by his younger brothers in Barcelona, whether it is Maniche or Iniesta, or Quaresma, even if this is the underage Messi, it is enough to break the right side of the Japanese team's defense.

In addition, Shen Yi's forward midfielder passes well, but his ability to break forward is not outstanding.

Thiago's performance was impressive, but his ability to handle the ball in the box was not good enough, especially when it came to goal.

So the first half of the game lasted until 30 minutes, and the Macau team was still scoreless on the field, whether it was the breakthrough of Li Wei and Thiago, or the long-range shots of Shen Yi and Tu Guangtai, all of them seemed to be a breath of air.

Kawaguchi's instant combat power has also risen to 83 at this time, and he and Kong Xiaochuan have been fed hot by the opponent's forward line and midfielder!

The Japanese team is more and more defensive, but the problem is that their counterattack is not as reliable as the Macau team's attack.

The midfielder led by Shunsuke Nakamura is not unable to pass good balls, but Naoyasu Takahara and Daikoku Shoshi are always too hesitant, and they rarely see them take the initiative to run out of opportunities and wait for the pass to be in place, and they are basically led by the pass of their teammates.

These two Japanese strikers are also very poor at handling the ball, and every time they get the ball in the threat area, they can't form a threat at the first time, and they always have to grind and chirp to take a step or control it.

However, the Macau team's defensive combination will not give them a chance to adjust, as long as the Japanese players pause near the penalty area, there is basically no good chance to shoot.

In the end, it was either a reluctant shot to improve Kong Xiaochuan's state, or an anti-aircraft gun and a crooked handle made the fans on the scene scold Baga, in short, it made the Japanese fans angry!

But this made Chinese fans amused, and then they added a sentence in their hearts: Can they be so similar?

Seeing this, Hidetoshi Nakata naturally wanted to rely on his own personal ability to solve the problem, and his breakthrough and long-range shot were also a little famous in Serie A a few years ago.

But the problem is that since last year, his competitive state has entered a period of rapid decline, and this year it is even more difficult to gain a foothold in Serie A in terms of individual breakthroughs.

But he still didn't expect to go back to the Asian fish pond, and he was a little helpless in the face of Tu Guangtai.

In the first 30 minutes of the first half, several breakthroughs by Hidetoshi Nakata were either blocked, or they fell into a siege and lost the ball or were destroyed, and the only long-range shot hit the plane.

Shunsuke Nakamura is much better at organizational tandem, but the problem is that neither he nor Shen Yi are players who are good at breaking through with the ball.

Both of them are good at getting rid of the ball from the back in a small area, but also controlling the tempo, combing the attack, and especially the ability to pass the ball behind them, which is what they are good at.

But whether it is the Japanese team or the Macau team, the good balls passed by the two of them are basically wasted by their teammates on the front line.

This is really strong and has its own strengths, but the dishes are all in one piece.

These so-called strong teams in Asia basically have different degrees of forward weakness symptoms.

The Macau team was able to reach the top of the Asian Cup, and now it seems that it is because there was an invincible Zhang Gongzi who seized the opportunity.

And that's the way it is in football, once you get the lead first, it's easy to play after that.

This is also why Zico said before the game: if he gives the Japanese team a Zhang De victory, he is confident that he will win the World Cup.

Of course, this is a bit exaggerated, but there are many people who agree with this statement, whether Japanese or Chinese.

But Zhang Gongzi deliberately hid himself today and chose to let his teammates charge into battle, which suddenly made the Macau team's forward weakness symptoms on par with the Japanese team.

If these two teams continue to grind like this, it will most likely end up in a draw.

Of course, the Macau team is not a loss, and even makes a small profit!

However, the biggest advantage of the Macau team is that in addition to Zhang Gongzi, the number of talents they have far exceeds that of the Japanese team, which is the confidence of Zhang Desheng to dare to watch.

In the 40th minute of the first half, Ma Zhenguo, who began to spontaneously participate in the attack in the last ten minutes, rushed through the midfield more boldly this time to participate in the attack.

Tu Guangtai gave the football to Ma Zhenguo in the backward position, and the latter relied on the explosiveness that can also show his hands in the four major leagues, and faced the unprepared Nakata Hidetoshi.

This suddenly made the Japanese team's defense a little scrambling!

Yuji Nakazawa had to give up on surrounding Zhang Desheng with his teammates, and hurried over to make up for the central defender who had broken some kind of balance.

Zhang Gongzi immediately cut to the middle without the ball at this time, which made most of the Japanese players' defensive attention return to him.

Levi and Thiago were also cutting down the middle on the right flank, and the Japanese defence had to pay attention to their movements.

However, this time the Macau team's killer move was not Li Wei and Thiago, but Zhu Biao, who had been running along the side at high speed at some point!

Zhu Biao's performance today has been very impressive, but that is all on the defensive end.

Naturally, the Japanese team will not let go of the opportunity to attack the 19-year-old, and will take the initiative to defend him at every opportunity after the opening.

But whether it is Junichi Inamoto or the pure foreign aid trio who are often inserted, it is difficult for them to take advantage of this fullback who is younger than Zhang Desheng.

Especially the master of the three capitals, whether it is plugged in or edged today, they are all pinched by this young general who originally thought it was a flaw.

This pure foreign aid with no Japanese blood at all, not only does his body fight against the upper and lower winds, but even his speed is not as good as Zhu Biao, who is 185cm tall.

The most outrageous thing is that Zhu Biao's defensive actions are very clean, and he hasn't even fouled much in the first half, let alone eating cards.

This made Zhang Gongzi secretly scold Bai for teaching him how to kick other people's legs, and at the same time, the coach of the Japanese team, Zico, also had to sigh: "No wonder he was only 18 years old last season, and he can always get some opportunities to play as substitutes in Manchester City, the leader of the league, this is indeed a little genius at fullback!" ”

But Zico didn't expect that although Zhu Biao's attack power was not as strong as Yang Feng's, the back cover and plug in the response were also one of his conventional weapons, but today's game was the first safe, so he didn't frequently plug in to participate in the attack.

Now seeing that the attack power in the front court is always a little worse, Ma Zhenguo and Zhu Biao naturally can't help but take a little risk.

This time, Zhu Biao's back set started to sprint in advance from his own half, and when he received Shen Yi's pass after running dozens of meters, he was still able to maintain a high-speed sprint state and break forward.

This excellent endurance and speed directly made Sandu Lord look stupid, he didn't dare to step forward to block it at all, and could only receive the penalty area for defense.

At this time, the defenders of the Japanese team have already withdrawn into the penalty area, and Zhu Biao rushed all the way to the right penalty area with the ball unguarded on the right side, and then passed the ball to the penalty area.

"Oh no!"

Zico's palms were already sweating as he watched from the sidelines!

At this time, although the Japanese players still have a numerical advantage in the penalty area, the Macau team also has a lot of people involved in the attack, and the key is that they have a clear advantage in height.

Li Xiaobo used his bounce ability, which was second only to Zhang Desheng in the whole game, to beat Yuji Nakazawa to complete the header in the small penalty area.

Kawaguchi can face such a close-range header alive, no matter how good he is, there is no way to do it, he can only watch the football fly into the goal from a short distance around him!

"The ball is in!"

"The Kuwaiti referee pointed to the center circle and the goal was valid!"

"This time, it was Li Xiaobo, a high school striker from Shanxi who broke the deadlock and gave Macau the lead, who smashed the door of Japan with a powerful header in the 41st minute of the first half!"

"Hey, he's jumping so high! This goal is a bit of a shadow of Zhang Desheng's victory in the Champions League final! ”

"The Japanese team has been very tenacious today, but the aerial combat is still their shortcoming, even if Coach Zico has replaced the team's two tallest defenders, but their physical confrontation and ability to fight for high balls are still not as good as the Macau team that inherited the tradition of the Chinese team!"

“……”

By the way, it is not completely wrong to say that the first team was also given some gold, and the Macao team does have a considerable advantage in high-altitude combat.

But in the first half they didn't bombard high balls too often, because that's the way they played after they couldn't score goals in the second half.

They still wanted to score goals through ground attacks in the first half, after all, it is not easy to find a team as weak as Japan's air power in the World Cup.

Therefore, Li Xiaobo's presence was not very strong in the first half, and he has been waiting for the team to change the style of play.

But I didn't expect Zhu Biao's wonderful back-set attack to still make the Japanese team suffer!

Zhang Desheng is very pleased with this, he has also been suppressing his attack today, and the Macau team did not attack around him in the first half.

Of course, this is his initiative before the game, because if he has to use all his firepower to win against the Japanese team, then there is really nothing to do in the World Cup.

Therefore, even if he is a little uncomfortable to watch, he still keeps giving his teammates the opportunity to exercise.

That's right, this quarterfinals that seem difficult for domestic fans to break through, but he used it as the last training opportunity for the Macau team.

In these six games, he will only play the role of pulling and containing, and the real main point of attack will not be on him.

Unless, his teammates are really embarrassed and useful, and the Macau team is in danger of even qualifying, he will take over the task of the main attack.

But it really has to come this far to qualify, and Zhang Gongzi will not have any happy emotions.

After the Macau team scored a goal, the whole mental outlook suddenly felt a sense of relief, and many people looked as if they had broken free from the shackles.

It proves that they did play too hard and didn't bring out all their attacking talent under pressure.

Now after breaking the deadlock, it is equivalent to indirectly breaking the shackles on their bodies.

At this time, they became more daring to make moves, more daring to execute tactics, and their thinking became clearer.

The specific display is that the small range of two or three people between the players has increased, and the number of one-foot shots has also increased, especially the accuracy of passing has begun to increase.

Naturally, the Japanese team is the opposite, their pressure is only higher than that of Macau, and now they are more hesitant and stiff when they fall behind.

As a result, in the last minutes of the first half, the Japanese team was completely crushed in their own half by the morale of the Macau team.

Hidetoshi Nakata and Shunsuke Nakamura, the two cores in the mouth of the Japanese media, could not play the role they should play at this time, especially Hidetoshi Nakata could not play the role of relying on personal ability to break the deadlock.

Zico was naturally half angry, and he was already thinking about how to adjust at halftime.

But no one expected that Zhang Gongzi, who had always been a little low-key, would break out again after entering injury time in the first half.

The Japanese team's defense against him has always been in a state of comprehensive encirclement, but this seemingly airtight defense, if Uncle Zhang really wants to break through, then even if it can't be said to be easy, at least it will be solved with hard work.

This time he received the ball near the left side of the midfield, and seeing that the referee had already started to look at his watch, it should be the last attack of the first half.

Then, Zhang Gongzi began his own "performance" - I saw that he suddenly accelerated to Shunsuke Nakamura and Hidetoshi Nakata, in the face of the defense of the Japanese midfielder duo, Zhang Gongzi's breakthrough was completely unreasonable, and he actually fought a bloody way out of the double bag.

The two biggest players in the Japanese team didn't expect Zhang Desheng to ignore them so much, and after the encirclement was a little slower, he couldn't even block his impact by pulling and dragging.

After Zhang Gongzi almost knocked the two of them out of the pinch, he increased his speed to the extreme in just a few steps, and in the face of the encirclement of five Japanese players behind him, he still rushed over it as if it were air.

The Japanese defenders didn't dare to rush up at all, so they could only wrap around/follow Zhang Desheng to reduce his space a little bit, and finally completed a set of encirclements in front of the penalty area that seemed to have no room to play anymore.

But Zhang Desheng in the siege was unmoved, the football on the way under the high-speed breakthrough as if stuck to his feet, at this time he was in front of the Japanese players in front of the penalty area, suddenly in the crowd a 180-degree turn, plus a Marseille slalom to the extreme, and finally with his heel in the back state, magically sent a single knife for Thiago.

The Japanese fans at the scene were already staring out at this moment!

But the Chinese fans in front of the TV are no better, they just want to shout loudly: Can the ball still be played like this?

However, not only were the fans on both sides made their minds lose their minds by this breakthrough of the five thunders, but the players of the two teams on the field also did not expect Zhang Gongzi, who had been invisible, to play the whole Japanese team by himself after the sudden outburst.

Thiago didn't expect Zhang Gongzi to pass the ball to himself in this situation, so he almost failed to catch the ball, and the subsequent shot was naturally of no quality, and the ball actually missed the post.

This annoyed Thiago so much that he didn't even dare to look at Zhang Gongzi because he knew he had wasted an opportunity that would go down in football history (similar to Neymar's goal).

At this time, even the referee blew the whistle at the end of the first half with a very regretful expression!

"Damn, is this a one-man single-handedly picking up a team?"

"How is this done? He is surrounded by the inner and outer three layers, it is outrageous enough to break through, and it is too rebellious to send a straight stopper, right? ”

"Does he have eyes in the back of his head? Can this ball be passed too? ”

“……”

"Hell yes! Boss, this is outrageous, right? ”

"I remember that Japan was in the round of 16 last year, right? The boss can still beat such a team by himself, how do I feel that he didn't give his best in the Champions League final? ”

"Haha, otherwise do you think anyone can be my boss?"

“……”

At this time, in addition to the fans of the two countries lamenting Zhang Gongzi's inhuman performance, after the whistle sounded at the end of the first half, the close-up shot was also given to Barcelona who came to the scene to cheer for Zhang Gongzi.

Of course, Ronaldo and Xavi didn't come, and only half of the Barcelona players came.

These people are naturally Zhang Gongzi's descendants, but even they were so shocked by this ball that their jaws were about to drop!

But it's not that they're making a fuss, Zhang Desheng's breakthrough has really done the extreme, not only can he single-handedly pick up the opponent's 7 players but also protect the ball firmly at all times, and the most outrageous thing is that he can also make a Marseille maneuver in the crowd and send out a straight plug with his back.

Such a performance that can be called a heavenly show not only fills the visual effects, but also gives all the audience a shot of adrenaline!

At this time, even if their home team was falling behind 0:1, the Japanese fans at the scene still stood up and applauded Zhang Desheng, because this breakthrough is worth the ticket price!
