King of the Zone

After the second round of the group stage, the news that Cheng Hai played a big four and the Hua Guo team beat Kyrgyzstan 4-1 went viral all over the country.

"Asian Games Men's Football Group Match, National Olympic Games beat Kyrgyzstan 4-1, Cheng Hai played a big four! "

"Asian Games Cheng Hai started for the first time in his career and wore the captain's armband of the Olympic team. He staged a big four and led the Olympic team to a 4-1 victory over Kyrgyzstan. "

"The new captain of the Olympic team, Cheng Hai, was fully fired, and led the Olympic team to a 4-1 victory over Kyrgyzstan, winning the Asian Games for the first time. "

Even in Europe, some media reported Cheng Hai's performance in the Asian Games.

"Supernova Cheng Hai staged a big four in the Asian Games, leading the Chinese Olympic team to a 4-1 victory over their opponents. "

Cheng Hai, the top scorer in the Bundesliga, abused food at the Asian Games, scored 6 goals in two group matches and almost locked the top scorer in advance! "

"Cheng Hai served as the captain of the Hua Guo Olympic team and played for the first time in the 70-minute game. He bombarded and staged the first big four in an official game of his career!" "

Of course, in the eyes of Europeans, it is quite normal for a player who can be the top scorer in the Bundesliga to score 23 goals in two games in the Asian U6 Asian Games.

This is the pride of their world football center.

Therefore, although there are some media in Europe that report on Cheng Hai, there are not many, and none of them are heavy reports. They just mention a few words in the corner of the football section.

Hua Guo fans don't care so much, they only know that Cheng Hai played a big four, the Olympic team won 4-1, and Cheng Hai can play 70 minutes in a game...

All of this shows that Huaguo football may be about to bottom out and rebound because of Cheng Hai's appearance.

Of course, one game can't explain too many problems, and we have to continue to wait and observe.However, finally saw the hope is not!
Amidst the heated discussion among national media and fans, after a day’s rest, the Yangcheng Asian Games officially opened on the evening of November 11. More than 12 athletes from 45 countries and regions in Asia will compete fiercely for gold medals in 9000 major events and 42 minor events.

As the host, the Hua Guo team sent nearly 1000 athletes, accounting for one-tenth of the total number of athletes, ranking first in both the gold medal list and the medal list.

After the grand opening ceremony, the competition of each project officially started.

11月13日傍晚19:00，国奥队也迎来了与马来西亚U23的第三轮小组赛。

Malaysia has already defeated Kyrgyzstan in the first round of the group stage and scored 3 points. The probability of advancing to the third place in the group with the four best results is very high.

Therefore, in this game, Malaysia did not intend to fight the Hua Guo team at all, but sent a 541 formation to fight back.

Even the strikers often return to the front of the penalty area to participate in the defense.

For Malaysia, losing this game will also have a high probability of advancing to the knockout round.And once a tie is maintained, it will be even more profitable, and it will be a steady promotion.

Therefore, Malaysia puts its main energy on defense, more bluntly speaking, on how to prevent Cheng Hai from running, breaking through, and shooting.

And they don't think about attacking while defending like Kyrgyzstan. Malaysia can completely defend without distraction, and there are a lot of people near the penalty area.

This made it a little difficult for Cheng Hai to shoot.

Although his shooting skills are very accurate, even if he shoots from outside the penalty area, there is a high probability that he can hit the goal frame.

However, when shooting outside the penalty area, Cheng Hai did not have the shooting power, long-range shooting, arc and other skills, resulting in his shooting without arc, and the strength and speed were not fast. The goalkeeper can have enough time to save, and the probability of Cheng Hai's long-range shooting is relatively low.

Although the full-value physique makes his shooting power much higher than when he played in Major League Soccer, it is not as high as those professional long-range shooters.

Therefore, most of Cheng Hai's goals are still in the penalty area.

However, under the strict defense of Malaysia, it is difficult for Cheng Hai to run out of the gap in the penalty area. Sometimes his teammates may not cooperate well and cannot pass the ball when he runs out.

In the 11th minute, Cheng Hai took a long shot about 25 meters from the goal outside the penalty area.Although the ball hit the goal frame and the angle was okay, but the speed was not fast, and was saved by the goalkeeper Xie Mi to the bottom line.

In the 18th minute, Cheng Hai ran out of the penalty area for a short time, and Wu Xi also passed the ball, but unfortunately the pass was a little crooked, so Cheng Hai had to adjust his pace.

It was this brief adjustment that allowed the opponent's defender to block Cheng Hai's shooting route, and broke Cheng Hai's last shot out of the penalty area.

In the 25th minute, Cheng Hai dribbled the ball from outside the penalty area and broke through two players into the penalty area to shoot. However, because of his slow speed, he was shoveled away by a defender who rushed over from the side.

Although Cheng Hai fell in the penalty area, the opponent's tackle was clean and neat, and there was no foul, so there was no penalty.

However, although Cheng Hai and the Hua Guo team have not scored a goal after half an hour, the Malaysian defense also paid a heavy price for two yellow cards in order to defend Cheng Hai, who has perfect or near-perfect skills such as physique, running without the ball, grabbing points, dribbling, and Matthews' fake moves.

But this is not the climax.

Even more astonishing things happened in the 35th minute.

In the 35th minute, the right back Jia Suli, who had already received a yellow card for the Malaysian team, kicked away the ball that the Hua Guo team was about to serve in an attempt to delay time.

The result was discovered by the referee, who immediately showed a second yellow card, two yellow cards turned into one red, and Jia Suli was sent off.

The Huaguo fans immediately burst into warm applause.

The fans in China cheered all the time. The Malaysian captain Raheem probably was quite dissatisfied with Jasuli's sending off, and cursed behind the referee's back: "Silly `B referee, black whistle!"

As a result, the tragedy is that his low-pitched curse was heard by the sharp-eared referee in the noisy stadium.

The referee who had drawn out a red card to Ja Suli just now rushed to Rahim before he even put the card back in his pocket, flashed the red card to him, and drove Raheem off the field.

This time, even the players and fans of the Huaguo team who had made a profit were stunned.

The commentator of CCTV-5 explained in a daze:

"Ah, what's going on? The referee directly showed a red card to the Malaysian captain."

"Rahim was kicked out of the field by the referee!"

"what happened?"

"Oh, let's take a look at the replay. Just now when Ja Suli was sent off with two yellows and one red, Raheem mumbled something with his back to the referee. It was probably a curse word, which was heard by the referee."

The guest commented: "It must be a curse word. The referee heard it and was sent off the field with a red card. Otherwise, Rahim would not be so obedient. He must have known that he was wronged and deserved it. Without even a little excuse, he handed over the captain's armband to his teammates and went straight off the field."

Following Raheem's exit, the Huaguo fans who had been stunned for a while immediately applauded in the stands, cheering for the referee's wise decision and Malaysia's death.

This time, the Huaguo team won 11 out of 9.

Malaysia was originally weaker than the Hua Guo team, and suddenly there were two players missing. Even though the head coach immediately replaced the forwards and put on defensive players to stick to the end, they still failed to last until the end of the first half.

In the 42nd minute, the Hua Guo team, which played two more players, finally broke through Malaysia's goal.

It was Cheng Hai who scored the goal.

Malaysia, with two less players, had a huge loophole in the defense line. Cheng Hai slanted into the corner of the small penalty area from the side and ran out of space.

The Huaguo team finally broke the deadlock and rewrote the score to 1-0.

After breaking the stalemate, the Huaguo team's offensive slowed down a bit. After all, they were already in the lead, and the opponent had two fewer players to fight, not even a forward. The Huaguo team was almost certain to win.

After 2 minutes of stoppage time, the referee blew the whistle to end the first half. The two sides entered the intermission with a score of 1-0. The host Huaguo Olympic team took a one-goal lead.

During the halftime break, Cheng Hai went on to fall into a 10-minute deep sleep in the locker room, and after waking up he was refreshed again, which surprised the coach and teammates.

Wu Xi asked curiously: "Cheng Hai, at your level, will you be able to fall asleep instantly on the battlefield, and no one can wake you up, only you can wake up?"

Cheng Hai smiled and said, "Almost!"

Wu Xi and his teammates immediately gave a thumbs up and said, "Awesome!"

This skill is simply too enviable. It is much happier than many players who were so excited that they couldn't sleep the night before the game, and finally suffered from insomnia, which led to listlessness in the game the next day.

But everyone can only envy, and can't learn at all.

Someone tried lying down to sleep, but it turned out that they couldn't even lie down quietly, let alone fall asleep.

After the start of the second half of the game, although the Hua Guo team's offensive was not strong, but because Malaysia had lost two people to fight, it felt that there were loopholes everywhere, no matter how the Hua Guo team played.

In the 52nd minute, Cheng Hai, who was eye-catching, pulled horizontally in the penalty area and took away two defenders.

Originally, two people were missing, but now they were taken away by Cheng Hai, and the middle road in Malaysia suddenly became empty.

Park Sung, who was dribbling the ball from the right, saw it, and decisively stopped his personal breakthrough. He made a cross pass and sent the ball to the top of the penalty area.

Zhang Linpeng, who was in the back row, first caught the ball and swayed to the side, avoiding a Malaysian defender who rushed to grab him from the side, and then the opponent's middle lane was really completely empty.

Zhang Linpeng didn't hesitate, and volleyed from the penalty area line, and the angle was also good.

Although the goalkeeper Xie Mi made a save, Zhang Linpeng's shot had good strength, speed, and angle. Finally, the ball ran into the lower right corner of the goal against Xie Mi's fingertips.

The Huaguo Olympic team led 2-0 and almost sealed the victory.

However, it's not over yet, because Cheng Hai is still on the court!

Although there was no deliberate indiscriminate bombing, Malaysia, which had two fewer men and a somewhat stretched defense, could not escape Cheng Hai's second goal.

Due to the lack of manpower, there is only one defender defending Cheng Hai, and there are other people to help defend.

But Cheng Hai's dribbling attribute and Matthews' fake action attribute are both very high, and they are already close to full value.

So, in the 66th minute, after receiving the ball from outside the penalty area, Cheng Hai used his Matthews feint to pass two people into the penalty area, and kicked the ball into the bottom left corner of Malaysia's goal with a low shot before the side defender blocked the shot route.

Cheng Hai scored twice again, and the total number of goals in the three group matches reached 8, which is 2 goals ahead of the No.5 player in the scorer list.

There is no suspense about the top scorer of the men's football team in this Asian Games.

Of course, there is no suspense in this game.

The Hua Guo team has already led 3-0, and Malaysia still has two less players to fight. Even the striker has been replaced, and there is no way to fight back.

Therefore, even though Cheng Hai was replaced in the 72nd minute, Malaysia still did not score even a goal to save face in the remaining time.

On the contrary, the Huaguo team, after Cheng Hai left the field, and in a corner kick attack in the 82nd minute, center Li Kai, who came on as a substitute, scored a powerful header and rewritten the score to 4-0.

This kind of game made the fans very happy, and it was even more enjoyable than the previous game.

All the goals in the last game were scored by Cheng Hai alone, but in this game, two goals were scored by other players, which shows that the other players are not completely useless!

Under the leadership of captain Cheng Hai, the Olympic team may still be able to save it!

Maybe Cheng Hai, a lion with a flock of sheep, can also make a difference!

Of course, for Cheng Hai, he scored twice and became the best player in the system evaluation.

Adding the goal award and the winning award, Cheng Hai's total experience has risen to 20-level 75.58/100 million.

The Huaguo team ranked second in the group with 6 points from three games, two wins and one loss, and advanced to the knockout round of 16.

However, the bad luck is that the opponent of the Chinese team in the knockout round is South Korea U23.

韩国足球是华国足球各级国家队的苦主，32年的恐韩症，只有在2010年2月的东亚四强赛上由高洪波的国家队3-0击败过韩国。

But this is just a short-lived performance.

Most of the time, it is the Huaguo team that wins every game, no matter what level it is.

For example, at the National Olympic U23 level, in the past 9 matches between the two sides, Hua Guo Guo Olympic has three draws and six losses without a single win.

Now this South Korean U23 team is even more different from the Japanese U23 team. They not only sent all the main players of the right age, but also several overage players who participated in the World Cup in South Africa when they were playing.

The reason is that South Korea's military service system requires all adult men to serve in the military, even if you are a world superstar.

In the field of sports, there are some conditions for exemption from military service. The football gold medal in the Asian Games this time is one of the conditions for exemption from military service.

Therefore, the Korean Football Association sent the strongest lineup to try to win the championship and exempt these Korean players from military service.

At the same time, during the game, these Korean players will also work very hard, instead of taking this as an exercise for young players.

The group match with the Japanese team is nothing, because it is not a battle of life and death after all.

The quarter-finals against South Korea U23 is the real battle of life and death, because not only the winner can advance to the next round, but the opponent will not be negligent in the slightest, and will only fight with the Huaguo team.

Huaguo football wants to rise and prove that it is not what it used to be. South Korea's U23 is the real whetstone.

Cheng Hai's real test as the captain of the Olympic team is this game.

As soon as the knockout matchup table came out, Huaguo media began to analyze, compare, and discuss various aspects of South Korea's U23, studying the lineup and tactics of South Korea's U23, and serving as a reference for the Olympic team.

Fans are also making suggestions in various forums, post bars, and QQ groups, discussing how the Hua Guo team can defeat South Korea's U23, end the history of the Olympic team's many years of invincibility against South Korea, and advance to the next round.

Inside the Huaguo National Olympic team, the atmosphere was also heavy, as if facing a big enemy. On November 11th, a whole day of targeted training was carried out.

Of course, South Korea's U23 is indeed a big enemy, and everyone must take it seriously.

Before the match against South Korea, Cheng Hai's weight increased by another 1kg, reaching 71kg, and his ability to fight continued to rise.

It can be regarded as good news before the start of the game.

On November 11th, there was no training during the day, and after a day's rest, at 15:2010 on the evening of November 11th, 15, the Hua Guo team continued to sit in the Tianhe Stadium and started the quarter-finals of the Yangcheng Asian Games against South Korea's U19.

Cheng Hai continued to start the game wearing the captain's armband, and the South Korean team also played their best. They must defeat Hua Guo and continue to give Hua Guo a fear of Korea. They must also continue to advance to the finals and the championship.

Perhaps because of the influence of South Korea's "cosmic power" thinking, the South Korean media expressed disdain for Cheng Hai before the game, saying that Cheng Hai just arrived in Germany and his opponents didn't know him enough, which allowed him to score so many goals. In fact, Cheng Hai's strength is not as high as the media boasted.

South Korean U23 players may have received such comments from their domestic media, and they also feel that Cheng Hai's strength is not so outrageous.Even though he was stronger than the average Chinese players, he was not as strong as the world's top players.

Therefore, they did not send heavy troops to guard Cheng Hai, but just one person to guard Cheng Hai, and the other people to help defend according to the situation.

The South Korean team's main focus is on offense.

From the beginning of the game, the South Korean team launched a series of offensives.

Crosses from the side, corner kicks, free kicks, long shots, etc., all of a sudden beat the Hua Guo team into a panic.

Cheng Hai's joining only increased the offensive strength of the Hua Guo team, and did not contribute much to the Hua Guo team's defense.

Not to mention that Cheng Hai can't defend, even if he can, his physical fitness makes him dare not run back and forth to cover the whole court.

Therefore, when the Koreans didn't take Cheng Hai's counterattack threat to heart and the whole team launched a massive attack, the Huaguo team seemed overwhelmed and flustered.

In the 4th minute, South Korean winger Cao Yongzhe made a pass from the bottom, which caused chaos in the penalty area of ​​the Hua Guo team. Fortunately, the ball was destroyed by Li Jianbin and left the penalty area.

In the 7th minute, the South Korean team won a corner kick and played a tactical corner kick. In the end, Park Joo-young from outside the penalty area completed a high-quality long-range shot, which was slightly higher than the crossbar.

In the 10th minute, in order to stop the opponent's attack, the defender of the Huaguo team fouled and gave the opponent a free kick.

Park Zhouyong's free kick went over the wall and flew towards the Hua Guo team's goal.

Fortunately, the angle of the ball was slightly right, and it was thrown by the goalkeeper Wang Dalei.Otherwise, this free kick may be scored.

In the 13th minute, the South Korean team’s pass and cut movement squeezed most of the Hua Guo team into the penalty area, but they passed the ball in an inverted triangle to outside the penalty area. Kim Jong-woo completed a high-quality long-range shot, which only missed the post slightly.

All of a sudden, the Hua Guo team's penalty area was in a state of panic, and it looked like they were about to lose the ball at any time.

Thousands of South Korean fans in the stands shouted slogans excitedly, cheering for the South Korean team, hoping that the South Korean team will quickly break the deadlock.

In the South Korean team's backcourt, Cheng Hai casually walked between the opponent's two central defenders, seemingly harmless.

The two central defenders did not pay attention to Cheng Hai, but paid attention to the attack ahead, eager to try, as if they wanted to rush up to participate in the attack.
