The Midfield Master

d (Welcome to the Midfield Master Book Friends Exchange Group: 532028645)

The players of the national football team are completely at a disadvantage in terms of physical confrontation. Australia has basically grabbed all the 50-50 kicks, and the referee's scale is too loose, which makes Australian players more and more unscrupulous.

Although the ball possession rate has the upper hand, it is still difficult for the Chinese team to penetrate into the opponent's hinterland, because the offense has not yet entered the 30-yard area. As long as the Chinese team's offense is threatened, the Australian players will adopt a foul strategy. The team's offense was strangled in the arms.

Although the Chinese team frequently got free kicks, the high-altitude ball was nothing to mention in front of the Australian team's defensive players.

They dealt with the high-altitude balls of the Chinese team, as if they were bullying children, hitting as many as they could.

The referee's whistle kept sounding, and every time a player of the Chinese team fell down, he stood up again.

Wu Lei and Ai Huang, two wingers with relatively thin stature and strong breakthrough ability, were repeatedly felled by the opposing defender like trees.

"Avoid them, reduce breakthroughs, and cooperate more!" Fu Bo on the sidelines frowned and shouted at Xia Ze and the others.

More than 30 minutes have passed in the first half of the game, and the match between the Chinese team and the Australian team is still very stalemate.

One side hopes to blast the opponent's defense line with a long pass, and the other side hopes to tear the gap through the cooperation of the feet.

However, both sides used targeted tactics to sabotage the opponent's offense, making the game look dull but intense. Once one party opens the deadlock, the balance of the game will be completely broken.

Xia Ze took the ball in the midfield, and the opponent's midfielder immediately pushed over. After feeling the threat of Xia Ze's mid-range and long-distance pass, they no longer dared to give him too much space easily.

But as soon as he took the ball and turned around, the opponent's midfielder immediately shoveled over.

"what--"

Xia Ze let out a scream, and was shoveled to the ground even with the ball.

But the referee didn't whistle a foul, but signaled the game to continue, which made Wu Xi, who was watching clearly beside Xia Ze, very angry and yelled at the referee.

But the Australian players ignored Wu Xi's protest at all, took advantage of this opportunity to attack aggressively, and quickly advanced to the 30-yard area of ​​the Chinese team.

Zheng Zhi quickly came over to defend,

But it was too late, the ball was passed to Cahill on the right, and Cahill immediately made a cross from the wing.

The tall Australian center overwhelmed Zhang Wei and Mei Fang in the penalty area, shaking his head was a goal!

boom! ! !

After the ball passed his waist and shook his head, it flew towards the goal faster.

"It's dangerous! Zeng Cheng!" Duan Xuan's nervous voice came from the TV.

The fans of the Chinese team in the stands were silent and looked at the field nervously. Some fans even covered their eyes, not daring to watch this moment.

In China, thousands of miles away, hundreds of millions of Chinese fans are watching Australia's goal in front of the TV, in bars and squares, and are worried about the Chinese players who are fighting in Melbourne.

"Beautiful! Zeng Cheng made another world-class save!" After a moment of silence, Duan Xuan's voice exploded in the silent scene like thunder on the ground.

Accompanied by his excited words, there was a burst of sighs and applause.

Zeng Cheng made a crucial save like he did at the beginning of the game. And his two saves are just the epitome of the Chinese team's performance in the game so far.

The physical advantages of the Australian players, coupled with the home referee's slightly biased penalty, made it particularly difficult for the Chinese team to play in this game.

...

The game continued, but not long after, Xia Ze was tackled from behind by the opponent.

Xia Ze clutched his feet and fell to the ground in pain. The team doctor on the sidelines was signaled by the referee and quickly ran into the field.

"Referee, taking the ball just now was a foul, you shouldn't indulge them!" Captain Zheng Zhi was arguing with the referee.

For the ball just now, the players of the Australian team fell to the ground from behind and tackled the ball. Regardless of whether the ball was tackled or not, a foul should be called. But the referee did not do this. Obviously this is one of the advantages of the host.

The referee did not avoid this topic, but patiently explained it to Zheng Zhi, but Zheng Zhi was still dissatisfied with the referee's statement and kept arguing with him.

On the sidelines, Lippi also complained fiercely to the fourth official. The old man with all white hair was blushing at this time, and kept complaining about his dissatisfaction with the referee. And the fourth official could only laugh along with him, and kept explaining to Lippi, but he couldn't explain clearly himself.

The fans of the Chinese team in the stands found Xia Ze lying on the ground, clutching his ankles, and couldn't help feeling worried. Xia Ze is the core of the team's midfield. If he gets injured, the game will be more difficult, and the chances of the Chinese team qualifying will be even slimmer.

Not only the nearly 20,000 spectators at the scene were worried about it, but the over 100 million fans watching the game all over China were worried about Xia Ze's injury.

In the video room of Guangzhou R\u0026F Club, Li Chunhua frowned, gritted her teeth, and showed a distressed expression on her face.

"Don't worry, Ozawa will be fine." Wang Jingcun's wife comforted her.

And Zhang Xuexing, Luo Jin, etc. all said some words of relief, but they still couldn't alleviate the worries in Li Chunhua's heart. After all, it was her own son who fell on the ground, flesh and blood. Every time he was put down by an opponent player, it made Li Chunhua feel a twinge of pain in his heart.

Fortunately, after a brief treatment by the team doctor, Xia Ze stood up again, and with the support of the team doctor, he limped to the sidelines. Although there was still pain between his eyebrows, he was able to stand up again, which showed that the injury was not too serious.

When Xia Ze stood up, the fans of the Chinese team gave him encouraging applause.

"Xia Ze stood up, this should be just a flaw, it didn't hurt the ligament, so it's not a big problem." After seeing Xia Ze's condition, Duan Xuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Look, it's also said on TV that Ozawa is fine, so don't worry about it. I have a hunch that he will help our Chinese team win the game today." Wang Jingcun's wife comforted Li Chunhua with a smile.

Li Chunhua's face relaxed a little, but her brows were still frowning, and the concern in her eyes did not diminish in the slightest.

The game restarted. After this collision, Xia Ze didn't dribble too much in the rest of the first half, but only mobilized the offense by passing the ball. The Australian players also seemed to have restrained themselves a little. The two sides spent the remaining 10 minutes of the first half in a dull state, and entered the intermission with a score of 0-0.

"Director Fu, their style of play is too savage, and the referee doesn't judge many foul moves!"

"Yes, given the danger of their actions, they can show red cards, but they don't even have a yellow card!"

...

The players of the Chinese team complained to Fu Bo as they walked back to the locker room. c
