Midfielder Ruler

Tang Zheng pushed De Bruyne's corner kick over the baseline, giving the Chinese players in the penalty area a lot of confidence, thinking that the game would most likely end with the Chinese team winning.

With strong self-confidence, Chinese players will inevitably not lag behind in terms of physical contact.

Faced with the Belgian's aggressive attack, there was no sign of weakness.

Naturally, the referee Cunha would not turn a blind eye. He blew his whistle frequently, called aside the two players who had the most obvious physical conflict, gave them a lesson, and then called the captains of both sides, Tang Zheng and Hazard, together. , explain a few words.

The fanatical atmosphere did not decrease correspondingly as time passed, but instead became more and more fanatical, even though the loud shouts like mountains and tsunamis were significantly reduced.

But fans sitting in front of the TV know that this is just the fans on both sides getting more and more nervous and forgetting to make a sound.

In other words, I was so nervous that it was difficult to make a sound.

By the time the referee Cunha blew the whistle to indicate that De Bruyne could take a corner kick, it was already the third minute of stoppage time. There was still one minute to go before the four minutes of stoppage time. However, considering that both sides of the game were injured. There has been non-match time during stoppage time, and Cunha is very likely to make up for that little time as appropriate.

De Bruyne raised his right arm and raised his index finger, a gesture with obvious tactical intent.

As a result, the Chinese players in the penalty area became nervous. The players on both sides selectively forgot the instructions of the referee Cunha. The physical contact became more frequent, but the movements were much smaller than before, so the referee Cunha turned a blind eye. Close one eye.

Central 5 commentator He Wei looked at the players from both sides entangled in the penalty area, changed his voice, and shouted: "Time is getting shorter and shorter. I believe that the Chinese team will be able to maintain the current score until the end of the game, or even ...It is also possible to take advantage of Belgium's eagerness to equalize the score and completely kill the game!"

De Bruyne started to run, and commentator Xu Yang quickly said: "What He Wei said is completely true! Fans in front of the TV can take a closer look. The Belgians, eager to equalize the score, threw seven players into the Chinese team's penalty area, adding De Bruyne has eight people on board. Only Hazard and Dembele are left in front of the penalty area. Goalkeeper Courtois has passed the halfway line. As long as the Chinese team seizes the opportunity, it is very likely to completely kill the game. !”

The fans sitting in front of the TV listened to the explanations of He Wei and Xu Yang, and suddenly realized that this possibility was indeed possible...

Of course, this is only a theoretical possibility, and the specific content depends on the Chinese players on the field to act according to the script.

At this moment, De Bruyne took a corner kick on the right side.

All the fans in the St. Petersburg Arena held their breath and stared at the football flying into the air.

Central 5 commentator He Wei even forgot to make a sound and saw the restricted area along with the broadcast.

Players from both sides waiting at the front point gave up their intention to take off when they saw the flying height and arc of the football. However, their eyes did not leave the football, but turned around and stared at the football.

Lukaku and Fellaini, who were standing at the penalty spot, were unable to fully take off due to the personal interference of Liu Yiming, Li Kui and Tang Zheng. The ball circled from the center of the penalty area to the back corner of the penalty area with an obvious arc.

"Vertonghen!"

As Vertonghen retreated, he overpowered Zhang Linpeng with a header, and the football flew towards Chadli who ran out of space.

British Sky commentator Andy Gray suddenly shouted: "-Nasser Chadley!!"

Gao Zhunyi and Deng Hanwen, who were directly in front of Chadli, subconsciously fell to the ground and blocked Chadli's shot.

When the opportunity arose, Chadley didn't hesitate at all. He picked up his familiar right foot and hit the middle and lower part of the football.

"Boom~"

A crisp collision sound suddenly sounded.

Goalkeeper Yan Junling's body reacted to the incoming football and threw himself towards the far corner of the goal.

"Oh oh oh——"

The Chinese fans in the stands subconsciously let out a burst of exclamations.

But the football failed to get past the numerous figures. It hit Lu Liang's back before he could react and bounced back.

"Lü Liang used his body to block Chadley's powerful volley in the penalty area!"

Alderweireld and Jiang Zhipeng rushed to the spot at the same time, but Alderweireld was in a better position and made a very smart choice. He used his strong body to block the position first, and then gave the ball to the goal with his back to the goal. Hazard passed the ball on the left side of the penalty area and set up a gun.

As soon as the CC5 commentator He Wei finished speaking, he suddenly shouted: "Hazard!!"

Jiang Zhipeng turned a corner and pounced on Hazard, who was adjusting his steps while running. At the same time, he put his hands behind his back, preparing to block Hazard's long shot with his flesh and blood.

Wu Sanshi, who was guarding the line of the penalty area, also dropped his center of gravity while running and stretched his right foot in an attempt to affect Hazard's sight.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch—"

The Belgian fans in the stands subconsciously burst into cheers, cheering for Hazard who raised his right foot.

The Chinese fans' hearts were in their throats. They held their breath and did not dare to breathe. They were afraid that any insignificant move would affect the luck of the Chinese team.

Even the Chinese fans sitting in front of the TV were as silent as a rock, staring intently.

"Boom~"

Hazard's right foot hit the ball rolling towards his feet against the turf with the instep of his right foot, making a crisp sound.

However, in the fanatical atmosphere of the scene, it seemed a bit insignificant, and not many people could hear it.

The football passed over Jiang Zhipeng, who was lying on the ground, and then flew towards the goal almost grazing the toes of Wu Sanshi's stretched right foot.

Goalkeeper Yan Junling, who had just bounced off the ground, once again made a save based on the angle of Hazard's shot, but he still did not touch the football.

because……

※※※

"Tang Zheng——"

In the fanatical atmosphere, Tang Zheng, who had his hands behind his back, puffed up his chest and used his chest to block Hazard's powerful long-range shot. He Wei, the CC5 commentator, raised his voice an octave and shouted almost crazily: "Tang Zheng Well done! He blocked Hazard’s long shot!”

The football bounced back, and Hazard had no time to regret it. He faced the football and swung his right foot again.

Wu Sanshi put his hands behind his back and jumped to block.

Without any extra time to think, Hazard directly raised his right foot to hit the ball, and the football hit Wu Sanshi's right rib.

But this time the football did not bounce back again, but continued to fly towards the goal after decelerating.

Tang Zheng, who was on the trajectory of the football, subconsciously raised his right foot and used the outside instep to stop the ball to the right, avoiding Kompany's immediate counterattack.

Alderweireld and Vertonghen understood each other very well and pounced on Tang Zheng at the same time.

Tang Zheng's next move to handle the ball was very quick. He moved the ball to the right with the outside instep of his right foot and accelerated.

Alderweireld and Vertonghen continued to chase Tang Zheng.

In addition, Hazard also ran towards Tang Zheng, preparing to form a siege with teammates Alderweireld and Vertonghen, taking advantage of the numerical advantage to intercept the ball from Tang Zheng's feet.

The football was taken out of the penalty area by Tang Zheng. He Wei, the commentator of CC5, exhaled and shouted: "Captain Tang Zheng has a clear mind. He did not blindly make a clearance with his big feet, but prepared to take the ball to the sideline, and then Use your super personal ability to protect the ball and delay the game..."

However, before he finished speaking, Tang Zheng took a big step forward with his left foot and stood about 20 centimeters to the left of the football. Then he quickly raised his right foot and hit the bottom of the football with the inside of his instep. He Wei reacted quickly. He said doubtfully: "Relief?"

The on-site director immediately showed a long shot. Commentator Xu Yang looked at the football flying diagonally in the broadcast screen. As if thinking of something, his pupils suddenly shrank and he was ecstatic: "No! This is Tang Zheng's conscious decision. Lob shot!”

"What?"

At the same time, British Sky commentator Andy Gray's eyes widened and he was dumbfounded. Guest commentator Martin Taylor reacted quickly and suddenly stretched out his voice: "Taaaaaaaaaaaaaaang——"

"Lob shot!!"

Courtois, who returned to his own defensive line of 40 meters during the retreat, suddenly stopped where he was. Looking at the football that was still several meters away from him, he became extremely desperate.

NO! !

The Belgian fans at the St. Petersburg Arena were roaring.

In front of the visiting team's coaching bench, Belgian coach Martinez subconsciously covered his face with his hands to hide his incredible expression.

Tang Zheng... actually noticed the position of goalkeeper Courtois at the end of the game, and was able to perfectly control his footwork at this time.

The distance is about eighty meters, right?

In sharp contrast, Lippi, the head coach of the Chinese team, was ten meters away. His face full of vicissitudes of time showed a thick smile, and his body was consciously facing the stands and his back to the court.

The fans of the 'Dragon Team' fan club raised their arms high as they looked at the falling football, and subconsciously made deafening shouts: "Ouch, ouch, ouch -"

In this situation, Tang Zheng, who scored the goal, looked particularly calm.

He faced his passionate teammates, opened his arms, and hugged Sun Jingbo, who was leading the way, and other teammates who were running in front of the bench.

※※※

Accompanied by the huge cheers produced by the Chinese fans, the falling football landed on the line of the penalty area and then bounced forward. Although the speed of the falling football slowed down to the extreme, Courtois, who was closest to the football at this time, gave up. There was a chase, so there was no impact at all.

The football that landed on the line of the small penalty area continued to bounce forward. After about a second, it crossed the goal line and hit the snow-white net...

“Goooooooooooooooooal——”

British Sky commentator Andy Gray finally reacted and turned up the volume almost frantically.

In the on-site commentary box, the commentator of CC5 who was sitting not far away stood up suddenly with his hands on the commentary box and shouted hysterically: "The ball is in! The ball is in! Captain Tang Zheng scored in the last minute of injury time. Killing the game with a super long-distance lob! I can responsibly say that the Chinese team defeated Belgium and won the third place in the Russian World Cup! Congratulations to Tang Zheng for becoming the top scorer in the Russian World Cup with eight goals!"

"Incredible goal!" Commentator Xu Yang shouted almost crazily: "Excellent! Tang Zheng's lob should be more than 70 meters away, right? No matter how far the distance is, I think this goal is enough to become the best goal in the history of the World Cup. The furthest goal!"

"It's so unexpected! I think everyone thought like me that Tang Zheng was going to delay the game, but... geniuses' ideas are often different from what we think! This is why Tang Zheng can grow into the number one football player in the world today. The root cause! Well done! Starting today! We are the pride of the entire Asia!"

"Oh-My-God!!"

German Sky commentator Marcel Leif became particularly excited in the fanatical atmosphere: "It's totally a God-like masterpiece! A super long-distance goal in the last stage of injury time! This is the consequence of the Belgians' neglect of Don! When they When everyone thought that Don would delay the game, Don gave the Belgian a loud slap! But the slap was so powerful that it made the Belgians spin and lose their way! At the same time, this goal also meant the third or fourth place finals. an early closure!"

Fortunately, Marcel Leif's professionalism was very high and he did not declare the Chinese team to win the game in advance before the game was over.

But judging from the game time, the Chinese team has already won the game.

Because... there is not much time left for Belgium.

At this moment, the time displayed on the scoreboard came to 93’36”

There is only the last half minute left. Even if the referee Cunha considers giving Belgium an extra half minute at his discretion, there will only be one minute left.

In addition, what cannot be ignored is that the Chinese team that expanded the score also celebrated the goal.

Moreover, the Belgians, who had suffered a fatal blow, were still in a state of confusion. They obviously did not expect that the team would concede another goal at this juncture.

If this goal had been conceded before the end of regular time, perhaps the Belgians would still have the confidence to equalize the score. However, as the game reached the final stage of injury time, most of the players were affected by their physical fitness, and it would be difficult to score two goals in a row.

Coupled with the high morale of the Chinese team and very little time left, the possibility of Belgium scoring two goals in a row only existed in theory.

Therefore, the Belgian players were in a very low mood, and several players even sat in the Chinese team's penalty area, at a loss.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch—"

The St. Petersburg Arena completely turned into a sea of ​​joy for Chinese fans. The voice of CCTV commentator He Wei became hoarse, but he didn't care at all and still shouted passionately: "This is a goal worthy of being recorded in history!" Seventy-nine meters! Tang Zheng extended the 40-meter goal record set by former Chinese coach Ali Han in the 1978 Argentina World Cup by a full thirty-nine meters!"

In the entire live commentary box, except for the confused commentary of the Belgian National Sports TV commentator, all commentators were praising Tang Zheng.

The 79-meter long-range shot and his eighth goal in this World Cup, each achievement can become the focus of commentators.

The referee Cunha originally wanted to remind the Chinese players to stop celebrating the goal, but he changed his mind after seeing the Belgian players who had no fighting spirit. It was not until half a minute later that he kindly reminded the excited Chinese players that they should stop celebrating and prepare to start again. Start of the game.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch—"

The Chinese fans in the stands were in extreme carnival, and the entire stadium was like a red ocean of joy.

In addition to the Chinese fans at the scene, there are countless fans sitting in front of the TV, all shouting the names of the players given by the live director: "Tang Zheng! Tang Zheng! Tang Zheng!"

Without Tang Zheng, let alone leading Belgium by two goals at the last moment in the third and fourth place finals, the Chinese team would not even be able to qualify in the group...
