World Cup of Great Powers

Chapter 252 Classic Air-to-Ground

"This is Yang Chen's eighth goal in this Asian Cup!"

When it comes to the number "8", Huang Jianxiang looks extremely proud.

5 games, 8 goals!
1.6 goals per game!
Coach Zeng is really amazing!

Use whoever can shoot, kick whoever is pregnant!
Even if Yang Chen is not Zeng Zheng's direct descendant, he can still use it with such awe and prestige!

After scoring a goal, Yang Chen and his teammates briefly hugged each other, then trotted to the sidelines.

Just as the fans were guessing what he was going to do, the Frankfurt titan knelt down on one knee in front of Zeng Zheng and performed a European-style salute of allegiance.

In the past two years, Frankfurt has gone from bad to worse in the Bundesliga, and the team has been turbulent.

In order to seek new breakthroughs, Frankfurt has been looking for better ways to improve the team's combat effectiveness.

Because of the constant change of coaches, Yang Chen, who was not the main force in the first place, was once squeezed to the edge of the lineup.

Last season, Yang Chen only scored 27 goals in 4 appearances, which was a step back from his 23 goals in 8 games in the early season.

After changing coaches this season, Yang Chen has always been a substitute, and he hasn't scored a single league goal yet.

It was at this juncture that Zeng Zheng called.

"Anyway, you can't be the main player in the club, why don't you come to me to find your feet."

"In case the Asian Cup champion goes back, no matter how good your coach is, you have to show some face, right?"

"What's more, you are a striker, maybe you can get the Asian Cup Golden Boot."

"In this way, even if Frankfurt doesn't want you, why don't teams like Hamburg, Dortmund, and Bremen want you?"

It was Zeng Zheng's words that completely moved Yang Chen.

Zeng Zheng also fulfilled his promise and gave him plenty of playing time in the Asian Cup.

In 5 games, 3 scored twice and scored 8 goals in total.

With such statistics, Frankfurt does not want him, and teams such as Hamburg, Dortmund, and Bremen absolutely want him!

Yang Chen came back to play the Asian Cup with the idea of ​​fighting to the death.

Now, he has won, winning a lot!
For Zeng Zheng, who has the kindness to know you, how can he not stand on his back and only look forward to the leader?

"stand up!"

Zeng Zheng dragged the big man from the capital up, laughed loudly and cursed:

"What are you talking about?"

"Only one!"

"Hurry up and go back to me, and get in a few more!"

After receiving Zeng Zheng's order, Yang Chen turned around and ran back to the court.

He has already won.

But the Chinese team has not won yet.

What he has to do now is to help the team achieve the final victory!

On the other side, Troussier's eyes were bleeding when he saw this scene.

Zeng Zheng is well-known in Asia for knowing people and making good use of them.

And the harmony between the generals of the Chinese team has never been new.

Don't think these two points are commonplace.

For him as a foreign teacher, it is as difficult as heaven to achieve these two points.

Not only that, judging from the Chinese team's goal just now, it doesn't seem like an accident.

If the Chinese team continues to copy this style of play, then those who wait for the small days will definitely lose!
The Chinese team cannot be allowed to continue this momentum.

Thinking of this, Troussier waved his hand, signaling the players on the field to step up their attack.

After the re-kick-off, Xiaotian quickly launched an attack.

Facing the upsurge from Yang Chen and others, Hiroshi Namami and Hiroaki Morishima passed the ball twice in a row in their own half.

Just when everyone was concentrating on the feet of the two, Nabo Hao, who used a cross-running position to run out of the open space, suddenly moved the ball forward.

In front of the center line, he swung his left foot hard, and the ball flew from mid-air to the front of the Chinese team's penalty area with a bang.

This kick seemed to have infinite magic power. Even though Zeng Zheng arranged so many defenders in the middle, at the moment when Ming Bohao passed the ball, none of the defenders was in the path of the ball.

Just like that, the ball jumped up again after bouncing off the ground, and was intercepted by Mingxun Nishizawa who inserted from the other side.

Fortunately, Li Weifeng was clinging to the striker at this time, preventing him from shooting easily.

After a bump and found that it couldn't hit, Mingxun Nishizawa forced the ball forward diagonally, and volleyed with his left heel.

In front of the goal line, Ou Chuliang leaped high until his palms were level with the crossbar.

"Akihiro Nishizawa hit the door."

"The ball was hit high!"

"Little days' counterattack is very quick!"

"We have to stay focused."

"This is an effective connection between the midfield and the striker."

"A diagonal long pass from midfielder Nabo Hao opened up the defense of the Chinese team."

"Number 9 Mingxun Nishizawa, came in from the other side and played a contra-angle."

"So it is very difficult to control, the ball is not suppressed."

"We must be careful of Xiaotian's counterattack, it is too dangerous!"

Xiaotian stepped up his offense, and the Chinese team was not weak.

As the saying goes, he is strong and he is strong, I, Nick Young.

Zeng Zheng's team has not been affected by the opponent.

In the 23rd minute, the Chinese team got a throw-in opportunity in the frontcourt.

Because the defenders in Xiaotian were all focused on Ma Mingyu in front of the baseline, and didn't notice the ease of getting in behind.

Zhang Ran swung hard towards the penalty area, and Shu Chang ran past Junichi Inamoto in the blink of an eye.

Stretching his right foot, he unloaded the ball steadily from the air.

This running and unloading is really an international standard.

"Thinball"

"throw out"

"Comfortable plug in!"

In front of the intersection of the bottom line and the restricted area line, he faced the double-teaming of two Xiaotian players.

Shu Chang, who had just unloaded the ball with his right foot, continued to flick the ball, and the ball was kicked high into the air again.

Morioka Ryuzo and Matsuda Naoki looked at the bombs falling in the sky and had a headache.

Nian Hiroshi Hattori, who was at the previous point, was still retreating, while Yang Chen, who had already gained momentum, jumped high in front of the small restricted area line.

The same lion head shake not only knocked Matsuda down during the flight, but also smashed the ball hard towards the goal of Xiaori.

"Cross."

"Header!"

The ball hit the ground and bounced, and Noho Kawaguchi reacted extremely quickly.

With the fastest speed, he threw himself sideways and tried to keep the ball in front of the goal line before his head hit the side netting.

After reacting, Ryuzo Morioka rushed to the ball and cleared the ball out of the penalty area.

Seeing that the header failed, Yang Chen raised his arms after landing, and ran towards the outside of the penalty area in a chic manner.

"It's still Yang Chen!"

"At the critical moment, Kawaguchi blocked the ball beyond the goal line."

"Yang Chen's jumping ability is extraordinary, his legs seem to be equipped with springs. With the push of a button, the whole person can fly into the air."

"There is no way to deal with Yang Chen's high-altitude ball."

After touching the top of the head again, the small days of falling behind by one goal also did not slow down the rhythm.

This time, the ball came to Shunsuke Nakamura after three passes and two downs.

When he stepped forward, Zhang Ran immediately stuck to it.

They collided two or three times, and Zhang Ran was the one who was ejected in the staggering steps of the two.

Seeing this, Zheng Zhi in the middle hurried over to fill his seat.

But at this time, Shunsuke Nakamura, who had gotten rid of Zhang Ran, had already accelerated.

As soon as Zheng Zhi stretched out his hand, the distance was not enough, so he had to switch from pulling to pushing, hoping to disrupt Nakamura's footsteps.

But what I didn't expect was that Shunsuke Nakamura's skills were not weak despite his young age.

Pushed by Zheng Zhi, he took advantage of the momentum and accelerated, dribbling the ball into the upper right corner of the penalty area.

Seeing this, Wu Chengying quickly moved over to block the position.

Facing the double-teaming of the two, Shunsuke Nakamura pushed his right foot inward with a weird posture.

After pushing the ball to the middle, the whole person also lost his balance and fell backwards outwards.

But at this time, no one on the field paid attention to Shunsuke Nakamura who fell out of the penalty area.

The ball rolled horizontally along the penalty area line and passed the defense zone of the three Chinese defenders. When Mingxun Nishizawa ran in front of the ball, he even had time to adjust a step behind the ball, and then took a step with his left heel. Remember to shoot.

Swish!
Swish!
Swish!
At the moment when Mingxun Nishizawa hit the goal, three Chinese defenders stuck to the turf and blocked the ball with their bodies.

But what no one expected was that this sticky cut rushed through the three-man defense zone at the fastest speed, and rolled into the net against the post before Ou Chuliang's fingertips arrived.

Whoa! ! !
In an instant, over the Maojiawan Stadium, there was a burst of cheers that had never been seen before.

That was the cheers of the fans in the small days.

This is also the first time since the opening, they have overwhelmed the Chinese team in terms of voice.

"Shunsuke Nakamura."

"Breakthrough on the Right"

"Hitting in the middle, Akira Nishizawa has a chance"

"I didn't hit the first time"

"Hit again with your left foot."

"The ball went in."

"The ball went in." Huang Jianxiang repeated.

"1 to 1 tie."

"Little days were less than 7 minutes after falling behind in the first half, and No. 9 Akihiro Nishizawa equalized the score."

"Let's watch this replay again."

"Shunsuke Nakamura relied entirely on his own ability to force his way through the midfield and attracted most of the Chinese team's defense."

"At this time, Mingxun Nishizawa's running position in the middle is also very clear. Before Nakamura passed the ball, there was no one around him to defend."

"Nakamura's assault was very fast this time, and the Chinese team's defense line did not have time to completely retreat."

"Being attacked by Nakamura, the defenders obviously panicked."

"Troussier's tactics had an immediate effect."

Xiaotian's goal did not surprise the fans too much.

In the eyes of the fans, with the strength shown in this Asian Cup in Xiaotian, scoring goals is a matter of time.

The only thing the fans didn't expect was that they tied the score so soon after the Chinese team took the lead.

During this period, Yang Chen still had a chance to score twice, but he was ignored by the little people.

"Little days really have two tricks!"

"That's right, they are attacking too crazy, they just want to fight against us!"

"It's okay to play against each other. Looking at the breakthrough of No. 14, there are quite a few tricks under his feet."

"Zheng Zhi is still too young!"

"It would be nice if Tie Zi was on the court."

"Yeah, if Tie Zi is on the field, they won't be able to pass the first ball!"

Before they knew it, the fans began to miss Li Tie.

Li Tie is such a player.

When he was on the court, he took over all the team's slots. His collisions, his running around, and his fouls made the fans think that he was a reckless guy.

But once he was not on the court, the effect was fully revealed.

It wasn't until then that the fans realized how important Li Tie's runs, collisions and fouls were to the team.

In the last game against Qatar, a tackle by Li Tie caused some strain on his thigh.

After returning to the residence, the pain was so severe that I couldn't even stand up.

Zeng Zheng didn't expect Li Tie's injury to be so serious. After timely medication, he could only be temporarily excluded from the starting list for the Sino-Japanese war.

After the re-kick-off, the two sides returning to the same starting line did not give in to each other and continued to respond to their opponents with attacks.

In the 31st minute, Yang Chen, who received a pass from his teammate, made a header connection with Su Maozhen in the penalty area of ​​Xiaozizi. The latter's header was once again saved by Nokatsu Kawaguchi.

In the 33rd minute, Xiaotian quickly responded.

It was Shunsuke Nakamura's continuous dribbling again, and after passing the ball to the front of the Chinese team's penalty area, he quickly distributed it to Junichi Inamoto on the other side.

Inamoto fully played the role of the stake, with a block on the arch of his foot, and directly blocked the ball to Naoyasu Takahara who was running in the penalty area.

Fortunately, Zhang Yanhua focused and kept Gao Yuanzhitai stuck on the outside, taking the first step to clear the ball.

After 3 minutes, Xiaotian once again pressed the whole team and attacked from the middle.

This time, Nakamura shot a long shot 30 meters away from the goal after dribbling the ball for several consecutive feet.

Ou Chuliang made a block and flew to save the ball.

Li Weifeng, who was chasing back, didn't hesitate, because he didn't know the situation behind him, he leaned forward in front of the small penalty area line first, and pushed the ball saved by Ou Chuliang out of the baseline with his head.

When the two got up, they realized that Mingxun Nishizawa and Naoyasu Takahara had already rushed into the penalty area.

Whenever Li Weifeng hesitated, the ball might be blocked by the opponent in the penalty area.

Seeing that Xiaorizi continued to attack from the middle with great vigor, the Chinese coaches were also anxious.

Li Tie even stood up and nervously came to Zeng Zheng's side.

He saw the ball very clearly just now. Nakamura rushed from his defense zone and passed it in a line.

Hearing the sound of "FU" blowing hair from behind, Zeng Zheng comforted without turning his head: "Don't be so nervous."

"no big deal."

"Give Zheng Zhi a chance and room to grow."

"Trust him."

After finishing speaking, Zeng Zheng turned his head to look at Li Tie's thigh.

"Tiezi, how are your legs?"

"Boss Zeng, I'm fine, nothing at all." Li Tie said hastily.

"It's okay, don't move around, you take good care of me."

"When I use you, I will naturally let you play."

Li Tie nodded, said "FU", and returned to his seat.

Although Li Tie was pushed back, Zeng Zheng naturally would not do things regardless of the "loophole" in the middle of the midfield.

For a long time, his team has always aimed to control this area.

What's the matter, will you be discouraged when you meet an opponent who is also good at hitting the ground ball in the middle?

This must be wrong!

What's more, the Chinese team just lost their position in defense. This little problem can be corrected as long as the players on the field listen to their own instructions.

In this way, Zeng Zheng once again stood on the sidelines, displaying his long-famous stunt of loud voice.

"Old horse, step back a little bit for me."

"Shensi, pay attention to the running positions of your teammates, don't run around by yourself!"

Soon, Shensi and Ma Mingyu, who were running neatly, formed two defense zones in series with the two forwards in front and the two midfielders behind them.

"Behind, pay more attention to the back!"

"Don't force it up, get stuck in the position first!"

"Take him!"

"Dry!"

After Zhang Ran and Zheng Zhi were reminded a few times, the number of times they took the initiative to rob has dropped significantly.When forming an encirclement with teammates, the opponent's possession of the ball is lost without grabbing.

"Big head, stand still!"

"That's right, I'll leave it to Heizi later."

"If he runs, you run!"

"Everyone else followed suit!"

The most effective is the back line.

When even Li Weifeng began to stand back and forth, Xiaozi made three consecutive attacks, and all of them were offside.

As a last resort, Shunsuke Nakamura had to try a second long shot.

But this time the shot was out of standard. After the shot, Ou Chuliang went directly to the ball boy behind the goal and asked for a new ball, which was placed on the small penalty area line.

The middle is densely compressed, the front and rear are connected in series, and the back line is advanced.

Zeng Zheng's three tricks completely disintegrated the infiltration of the middle of the small life.

However, no matter how Troussier commanded and how the Xiaotian players deployed their defenses, they were still unable to resolve the Chinese team's high-altitude advantage.

Yang Chen and Su Maozhen are invincible pure presence in the restricted area of ​​Xiaotian, guarding against this and missing that, guarding against that and missing this.

The high-altitude ball of the Chinese team is also very tricky.

There's not much arc, and it's not fast.

But it is high!

In the remaining ten minutes of the first half, what Xiaotian did most was to stand in the penalty area and watch the ball coming in the air, and then watch the "performance" of two or three players below the ball's landing point.

When the Chinese team reaches the top, we will look at Kawaguchi again. If the Chinese team does not reach the top, we will think about the next step.

Every such high-altitude bombing is a huge torment for every small day defender.

With players in the penalty area like this, even Nohuo Kawaguchi didn't have a complete record of air superiority.

After making two shots in a row, the timid Xiaotian goalkeeper could only stick to the goal line, pinning his hopes on his "supernatural" response nerves.

When Li Weifeng put Nono Kawaguchi into a mess with another header, Martin finally blew the whistle for the end of the first half.

"Whoo~~~"

As soon as the whistle blew, the nervous Xiaori day team members all let out a sigh of relief.

Looking at each other, they all saw the wry smiles in the eyes of their teammates.

"Thank you, Kawaguchi Jun." Hattori Nianhiro stepped forward, and stretched out his hand to Kawaguchi who was on the ground.

"It's nothing, Hattori-kun." Nouhiro Kawaguchi stretched out his hand and clasped it with Tonhiro Hattori's.

It was such a pulling movement that usually seemed extremely simple, but it made Hattori Nianhiro's feet go limp, and he almost missed Nobu Kawaguchi.

And Noho Kawaguchi, who played half of it, was also a buttock, and sat back on the ground again.

Hattori Tonhiro looked at his hands with disbelief on his face.

Seeing this, Naoki Matsuda hurried over, and the two of them pulled Kawaguchi up alive together.

"Go slowly." Looking at Matsuda Naoki's trembling legs, Kawaguchi said softly.

"Okay, slow down."

The two guards nodded, took a deep breath, and followed Kawaguchi from left to right.

Looking at the tall back of the Chinese team in front of the player tunnel in the distance, Matsuda Naoki took the lead in sighing.

"In the second half, I don't know how long I can last."

"Yeah, me too." Hiroshi Hattori also responded.

Seeing that the two teammates were so pessimistic, Nouko Kawaguchi immediately stretched out his hands and put them on their shoulders.

"Matsuda-kun, Vice-bu-kun!"

"As long as you don't die."

"We must hold on!"
