Football: Start with Ronaldo star card

The first fifteen minutes of the game.

The players of the Dragon Team and Sakura Country are inextricably killed.

Every inch of the arena is a battlefield for their life and death struggle.

The scene of people turning on their backs appeared again and again.

The referee reluctantly sent six verbal warnings.

Finally revealed the first topaz card of the game.

It was handed to the head of the Dragon Kingdom player Wang Ueyuan.

In a defense just now, Wang Shangyuan desperately fell to the ground with a sliding shovel.

Stopped the attack of Sakura Country by Shinji Kagawa.

But maybe it's because of too much excitement.

Wang Shangyuan is obviously a little on top.

The action is slightly big, although it does not mean to hurt people maliciously.

But he still shoveled Shinji Kagawa.

This yellow card is not unjust at all.

Xiao Chenhui, who was the captain, hurriedly ran over.

While making encouragement, he highly recognized Wang Shangyuan's enthusiasm.

While reminding him a few words, let him pay attention to his movements.

Don't eat cards because of excessive movements.

In fact, a young player like Wang Ueyuan appeared in the international arena for the first time on behalf of Dragon Country football.

Excitement is inevitable.

But in addition to being excited, I will also be a little flustered.

Just like He Wei's previous "gentle covenant" explanation.

The hairy young man who entered the cave room for the first time was destined to be red-faced.

They know exactly what they want to do.

But there is always no way to find the door.

After all, who hasn't had a first time?

There are many members of the Dragon Team who have the same mentality as Wang Shangyuan.

Except for Xiao Chenhui with a big heart, there are no psychological fluctuations.

In addition to Zheng Zhi, Sun Xiang and Hao Junmin, three players who often make international appearances.

Most of the 11 people who started on the Dragon Team had the same mentality as Wang Uehara.

Ultimately.

The Dragon Team has been formed for less than a month.

And mostly young guys.

Mental instability and lack of experience are always the biggest problems they need to face.

If it weren't for Zheng Zhi and a few other veterans to crush the formation.

The Dragon team will not be able to set their best result in 11 years and easily reach the quarterfinals.

Compared to the youth and immaturity of the Dragon Team.

The players of Sakura Country seem to be much older.

Their foul movements are of the stealthy, cunning kind.

And it's all outside the realm of eating cards.

Even if the referee detects their foul action, he will not show the card.

At most, it's just a verbal warning.

Plainly.

They are just making rational use of the rules or playing the rules on the edges.

Getting the maximum benefit at the lowest cost is very much in line with the life values of Sakura Country.

If you look at the big picture.

In fact, the development of football in Sakura Country has long been ahead of the Dragon Country.

Let's take the starting 11.

There are as many as nine Sakura players who play in the five major European leagues and play as main players or substitutes.

The biggest name in the squad, Shinji Kagawa, comes two years after the fall of Manchester United.

Borussia Dortmund returned to the Bundesliga at the beginning of the season and showed signs of resilience.

To play for Manchester United and Borussia Dortmund already shows his value.

Among the rest of the starters.

Keisuke Honda plays for AC Milan and is an old rival of Xiao Chenhui in Serie A.

Several players such as Shinji Okazaki, Makoto Hasebe, and Atsushito Uchida played for different teams in the Bundesliga.

Maya Yoshida at the back plays for Southampton in the Premier League.

If you add Kiyotake Hiroji, Kan Takaji, and Muto Yoshiki and others on the bench.

Almost half of Sakura Country's 23-man squad has played in Europe's top five leagues.

Although most of the players of the Dragon team also play in Europe.

But the young lads either fight for the main position or play in the B team.

At this stage, there are really few who can really gain a foothold in Europe's five major leagues.

In terms of overall strength, the Dragon Team is still a lot worse than Sakura Country.

So in the 22nd minute of the game.

The last thing Dragon Country fans wanted to see appeared.

After a Sakura player shot deflected off the post, Yan Junling quickly shot the ball.

Gave the ball to Liu Yiming on the back line.

Liu Yiming observed the situation on the field and got up to send the ball to the wing.

Hao Junmin wins the ball.

Breaking through Endo's defense, he sent the ball to the center with a diagonal pass to the ground.

Zhang Xizhe took the ball with his back and was just about to complete the turn.

Unexpectedly, Makoto Hasebe, the back of Sakura Country, relied on his rich experience in the game to predict Zhang Xizhe's next move.

When Zhang Xizhe half-turned his body and hadn't completely turned around.

Makoto Hasebe directly came to a "black tiger heart", separated Zhang Xizhe's body, and kicked out first from Zhang Xizhe's side and rear.

Cut off the football!

After completing the broken ball.

Makoto Hasebe took a step forward and stuck his body in position.

So that Zhang Xizhe could not form a counter-grab in the first time.

At the same time, Makoto Hasebe borrowed the cover of his body and covertly bumped Zhang Xizhe with his right shoulder.

The shortcomings of Zhang Xizhe's thin body were instantly magnified.

In a card and a crash, he staggered back half a step.

The opportunity to counter-rob was completely lost.

I could only watch Makoto Hasebe take the ball and go away.

Sakura Country thus entered the rhythm of counter-defense into attack.

This time was originally a counterattack opportunity for the Dragon Team, but it was easily completed by Makoto Hasebe, which couldn't help but make the Dragon Country fans at the scene sigh.

However, the sigh is not completely over.

It became complete silence.

After the steal, Makoto Hasebe quickly advanced with the ball, after seeing Zheng Zhi rushing towards him frantically.

Immediately stopped advancing and unhurriedly handed the ball to Shibasaki in front of him.

In the tactical arrangement of the cherry blossom country, they do not pay much attention to the wing tactics.

So in the four-man group in the midfield, there is no full-back position.

It is a triangular layout in which Shinji Kagawa is in front and the other three dragged behind.

Shibasaki kept pushing the ball straight sideways.

The ball rolled to Shinji Kagawa's feet.

The pass between the three is exactly a triangle.

The players of Sakura Country used such a triangle pass to hang Wang Uehara halfway through the upper grab.

Zheng Zhi and Wang Shang originally lost their positions.

Zhang Xizhe was left behind by Makoto Hasebe again.

The Dragons' midfield defense was pierced.

Artemisia Junmin and Wei Shihao on both sides rushed over at the fastest speed, but it was obviously too late.

Shinji Kagawa drove straight in with the ball.

Keisuke Honda and Shinji Okazaki on the front line immediately split up and ran to the two ribs in the direction of the Dragon team's penalty area.

He brought Sun Xiang and Gao Junyi to the two sides.

This allowed Shinji Kagawa to face Liu Yiming's defense.

One-on-one defense.

Liu Yiming's inexperienced shortcomings became his weakness.

Shinji Kagawa uses realistic feints to continuously shake left and right buckles.

The immature Liu Yiming soon lost his center of gravity and could no longer contain Shinji Kagawa's footsteps.

Facing the last line of defense of the Dragon Team, Shinji Kagawa calmly raised his foot and shot at the far post.

Although Yan Junling had already made a move to save in the air, he was still out of reach.

Watched the football graze his fingertips, spin and fall into the goal.

Let the fans of the Dragon Kingdom in the audience be silent for a while!
