Golden Greenery

Don't say anything. A penalty kick was awarded shortly after the game started, and a player was injured and retired. So I asked you if you were afraid? Zhuo Yang suddenly felt that something was a bit serious.

After the Colombian referee Vilmar Roldan blew the opening whistle, both the Chinese team and France played very cautiously, just like a scumbag and green tea who are constantly testing each other.

The 38-year-old Roldan is known for his courage in taking penalties. Four years ago at the World Cup in Brazil, he made his debut and was the youngest referee. In the group match between Cameroon and Mexico, Roldan disallowed three goals in the first half, which was a brave move.

In a tense match between the two sides, in the first game, Mbappe turned into a bolt of lightning. In order to protect his ribs, Zheng Zhi had to put down a shovel to hit him. Roldan immediately whistled for a free kick.

The spot was on the left side, and the free throw shot by Scar with his left foot was of high quality, but the direction was a bit awkward anyway. After being tapped by Yan Junlin's finger, it hit the crossbar, and Xiao Jiang made a clearance.

A false alarm was not important, but Zhuoyang immediately smelled something unusual - France's offensive and defensive transitions and rhythm adjustments were too smooth, and their maturity was completely different from the group stage.

From Kante's advancement, to Pogba's pass, to the forward pull and Mbappe's sudden advance, the French team made the most reasonable choice in every link, and used the rhythm to put the Chinese team in the most uncomfortable changes .

Higher, this French team is higher, higher than eight years ago, four years ago and 25 days ago.

But Zhuoyang didn't feel terrible. Portugal and Brazil were also very high. Did they fly into the sky?

But at the 13th minute, Zhuo Yang was afraid.

The triangular pass between C Zhe, Dazhi and Alan was slightly delayed, and Alan who was holding the ball was entangled by Kanter. After stealing the ball and advancing in two steps, France showed an open attitude and ran, and there was no shortage of people in every corner.

Kanter knocked to Mbappe who was emptied in the middle, and the Turtle boy started lightning again.

Tiedan Zhang Linpeng did not lose his position. He turned around and tried to squeeze out with his body. However, Mbappe's speed was lightning, but his figure was not as thin as lightning. On the contrary, he was very stocky. Tiedan's unshakable confrontation was not able to squeeze him out. Move and let him overtake instantly.

Tiedan became anxious and pulled and pulled from the side, but failed to keep Mbappe, allowing him to break into the penalty area with a bang.

The Chinese team's defender always dares to make moves in the penalty area. Tiedan grabbed his jersey and made a decisive tackle.

Mbappé is strong and fast, but his footwork is not slow either. He can give Tiedan a lonely moment with just one move.

What a tough guy, he instantly burst out with unparalleled strength, his thick legs soared a foot and two, and he had to fight tooth and nail to reach the football.

In the end, it was still not enough, but it knocked Mbappe back.

Roldan's whistle sounded, the penalty was undisputed, and he immediately received a yellow card. You pull, pull and kick people, don't you take me seriously?

Tiedan didn't protest, not because he didn't want to, but because he couldn't. He hugged his leg and grimaced in pain. This step was too big, not pulling on the balls, and stretching the thigh muscles.

Zhuoyang suddenly felt a big headache. A large number of injured soldiers are already filling the camp, especially the defense line, which makes me want to cry just looking at it. The offensive and defensive style shown by the second major French team this time, Portugal and Brazil are not enough.

An expert will know if it is there as soon as he reaches out his hand. The French team's rebirth made Zhuoyang feel shocked.

Tiedan still wanted to persist, but Zhuoyang didn't agree. This was not a matter of courage and will at all. To put it nicely, it was for Tiedan's career. It was hard to say that the rule was not to harm others or yourself because of your emotions.

Sforza replaced Tiedan, who had retired from injury, with Feng Xiaoting, a veteran of three dynasties. This was a cannon exchange for a shotgun.

Xiao Feng is the same age as Zhuo Yang. He was already the main central defender of the national football team in South Africa eight years ago, partnering with the big head Li Weifeng. He was also the main player in Brazil four years ago and has rich experience.

But there is only experience left. As he grows older, Xiao Feng has not made much progress in these years. Football is like sailing against the current. If he does not advance, he will retreat. His regression is obvious. Due to repeated injuries, the Chinese team's defense in Shuzhong no longer has a general. He can be used or not, but he still has experience.

Of course, this kind of "unusable" is only a relative term. Xiao Feng is still the top native central defender in the country.

Yan Junlin's penalty kick saving is not as vivid as Wang Dalei's, but under Zhuo Yang's bug, saving is actually not the most important thing. Scar is one of the few people in football who has cracked Zhuo Yang's bug. He didn't learn anything else from Boss Mei at Barcelona, ​​and the two of them were full of bad ideas, but they reconciled.

There is a way, but it only increases the probability a little. It is pure wishful thinking to make sure that every free throw is hit. This time, Scar's luck was a little worse. His volley in pursuit of the blind spot failed to escape Xiao Yanlong's grasp.

The experience of Xiao Feng, who just came on the field, played a role. He accurately judged the landing point of Yan Junlin's block and cleared the ball before Giroud's follow-up shot.

The penalty kick turned into a touchline kick, which looked like a loss of blood. In fact, the scar didn't matter, and the French team didn't take it too seriously. Scar dared to take the Chinese team's penalty kick, and apart from him, few people in France had this mental quality.

Zhuo Yang will not miss the opportunity to tease.

"Scar, aren't you still ineffective? No, let's replace him next time. I see Paul's eyes are rounded."

Pogba was very happy: "It's no problem. Anyway, at worst, I won't score a penalty, and it won't be embarrassing."

Scar was very impatient: "Okay, okay, you will come next time."

Zhuoyang said: "I think it's better for us to hold back and kick the penalty kick. That thing depends on whether it's a mule or a horse."

Pogba: "..."

Scar: "I'm afraid of you, you idiot!"

Invincibility in penalty kicks is obviously the Chinese team's biggest psychological advantage. Teams that cannot hold back often become nervous before overtime. The French team won't. They are mature women who have been ravaged by time. They have suffered all kinds of hardships over the years, and they have also experienced all kinds of scumbags. They will not be teased by little fresh meat like the Chinese team.

The two sides continued to tease each other. Due to the sudden loss of a general in the back line, the Chinese team played more cautiously. The center of gravity of the formation was further back and the formation was extremely flat.

France was also about the same. Facing the Chinese team that held firm, Scar and his teammates kept a tight line on all three lines. They also paid attention to a slow pace when advancing, attacking when there was a chance and closing in when there was no chance.

China and France are performing a battle of patience. As expected, after a brief start, it will quickly degenerate into a boring game.

But football is always full of surprises, especially when there are extraordinary players on the field.

In the first pass, Scar held the ball in Maro's mouth like a dog and refused to leave. Before Hernandez could surround him, Maro chose to turn to the left.

Left back C Zhe and left midfielder A Lan reversed course. C Zhe sank down and pulled Debich away. A Lan, who was retreating, received the ball, made a cut inside and then passed the ball across.

Zhuoyang received the ball outside the top of the arc. He could not be left open. Kanter and Ma, who were on the left and right, retreated from the enemy and came up faster than a rabbit.

The reason why geniuses are geniuses is not because they memorize the textbooks thoroughly, but because they have spontaneous improvisational performances outside of their subject movements. There is no trace and no way to prevent it.

Zhuoyang suddenly staggered to the left, looking like he had actually fallen. Even if Kanter and Ma retreat from the enemy are not ordinary people, and they are wary of deception, they will not be able to avoid being deceived by this fake action that is so realistic that it looks like sudden death.

The two of them involuntarily followed Zhuoyang to the left. For just a moment, when they immediately realized that the important thing was the football, Zhuoyang had already pulled his body back and used inertia to wipe the ball to the right.

Kanter and Ma retreated from the enemy like two springs, jumping to the right, but Zhuoyang was still fake. He didn't even move the ball at all. He just swayed in the air and threw away the two defensive masters. .

But even if the enemy retreats, if you think Kanter is nothing more than that, you don't take 70% of the earth's surface area seriously.

The enemy was still forcing his center of gravity, but Kanter turned around and lay down with one leg to shovel, unceremoniously blocking Zhuoyang's path to dribbling the ball forward, forcing him to pull the ball backwards and hide again.

In just such a short time, the French defense line closed again, and it became more difficult for Zhuo Yang to find something to do. There are no dates, so just take a long shot to express your offensive mood.

The effort was rushed, and Zhuoyang knew that there was little hope of scoring a goal, and Lloris had to make a fool of himself. But that's all. His furious shot was synchronized with Kanter's rising, and the football exploded and hit Kanter's knee that had just been pushed up.

With an obvious 15° turn, the football changed direction and plunged into the upper right corner of the goal. Goalkeeper Lloris stood on the left and could stuff an egg into his mouth. He really looked like an idiot.
