"Schwarzer, the 42-year-old goalkeeper, made his first key save in today's game, saving Xia Ze's long shot from the bottom line, and his reaction is still very fast!" Duan Xuan sighed. , The camera was given to the veteran of the Australian team.

"Schwarzer originally quit the national team two years ago, but in December last year, because Australia's second goalkeeper was injured, he stepped in and returned to the national team as the team's second goalkeeper. And in the last game , the current main goalkeeper of the Australian team was also injured in the game, and Schwarzer will naturally play in this quarter-final."

Duan Xuan slowly introduced Schwarzer's experience of returning to the national team. This Australian legend has played more than 300 times in the Premier League. He is still Chelsea's substitute goalkeeper and has long become a living fossil of the Premier League.

"This is Schwarzer's 109th appearance in the national team, and it is also the first time after more than two years that he once again put on the Australian national team jersey. For such a veteran who has fought on the court for more than 20 years, we respect Still respect."

...

The corner kick was taken, and Yedinak pushed it out of the penalty area, but Xia Ze was lying in ambush at the top of the gourd. At this time, seeing the ball flying out, he immediately adjusted his position and volleyed towards the incoming ball!

boom! ! !

The ball passed through the shadows and went straight to the upper left corner of the goal.

"Oh!!! It's Schwarzer again, he made another wonderful save and saved Xia Ze's shot!" Duan Xuan exclaimed.

There was another thunderous applause at the Etihad Stadium. Schwarzer, the 42-year-old goalkeeper, saved Xia Ze's two very threatening shots within one minute, winning everyone's respect.

After this wave of continuous attacks, the Chinese team finally found the offensive rhythm of the previous game.

The Australians no longer dare to foul easily, and the two fulcrums of Gao Lin and Gao Bo in the frontcourt allow the Chinese team's offense to smoothly advance to the frontcourt and even penetrate into the penalty area.

The head coach of the Australian team watched the team being suppressed, and couldn't help showing an anxious look on his face. He said a few words to his assistant, and his assistant walked to the bench.

Under Xia Ze's go-between, the Chinese team created many threatening attacks in a row.

In the 56th minute, Wu Lei broke through the penalty area from the side,

A low pass to the penalty area, Schwarzer fell to the ground and saved the ball;

In the 59th minute, the Chinese team made a comeback. Xia Ze made a long pass from the middle of the midfield to the right. Zhang Linpeng stepped in at high speed. The ball flew towards the goal quickly, Schwarzer reacted extremely quickly, and lifted the ball out of the crossbar with his hand.

In the 62nd minute, Xia Ze broke through from halftime all the way to the front of the penalty area and gave the ball to Wu Lei on the left.

...

The Chinese team created many chances to score in the second half, but it was a pity that the veteran Schwarzer kept them out, firmly helping the Australian team to keep the goal.

But the cheers and cheers from the Chinese fans in the stands were louder and louder.

"Chinese team, come on! Chinese team, come on..."

"1 to 0! 1 to 0..."

"Goal! Goal..."

The sound of cheers from nearly 20,000 fans of the Chinese team enveloped the entire Etihad Stadium, and the momentum completely overwhelmed the more than 30,000 Australian fans. Amidst the cheers of the fans, the national football team's offense became more and more fierce.

The Australian fans watched their team's defense line being precarious under the impact of the Chinese team. Only relying on the old goalkeeper Schwarzer to temporarily keep the 0-0 score, but this score may be rewritten at any time.

Each of these fans watched the game worriedly, covering their mouths, with an almost desperate look on their faces.

The head coach of the Australian team has been frowning on the sidelines. The game has come to the 70th minute, and he still has not made any substitutions.

After the Chinese team replaced Gao Lin at halftime, they immediately reversed the situation on the court. His inaction also puzzled the Australian commentator who was commentating on the spot.

Several Australian players wearing vests are warming up on the sidelines, ready to listen to the call of the head coach at any time. Among these warming-up players, there are figures familiar to Chinese fans.

...

"At 70 minutes of the game, the Chinese team played very well after the second half and made many threatening passes. If the opponent's old goalkeeper Schwarzer performed more bravely, we should have taken the lead. "Duan Xuan said with some regret.

"Look at this attack. Xia Ze got the ball near the middle circle and made a through pass!" His voice suddenly rose, and he stood up from his chair excitedly: "Single-handed, no offside, Gao Lin!"

Xia Ze hit a very penetrating through ball, which completely penetrated the opponent's defense line. Gao Lin made a high-speed drive from the right and got a single-handed chance.

Schwarzer quickly attacked from the front of the goal, with his arms stretched out, expanding his defensive range as much as possible.

"Gao Lin faced Schwarzer! Push!!!" Duan Xuan's voice was still very excited and high-spirited.

"Oh! I was blocked by Schwarzer..." But a second later, his sigh came out immediately.

Gao Lin's shot had already deceived Schwarzer's center of gravity, but Schwarzer blocked the ball out of the baseline with his feet while falling to the ground.

Gao Lin, who missed this excellent opportunity to score, hugged his head in frustration and fell to the ground, unable to get up for a long time.

Fu Bo on the sidelines also held his head in frustration, and even Lippi, who has always been calm, missed the ball again after failing to score many times in the second half. It also made him have a look of pity on his face.

When the Chinese team had a corner kick, Xia Ze hurried over, pulled Gao Lin up, and encouraged him: "We still have a chance, as long as we create better chances, we can break through their goal!"

Gao Lin was a little dazed and forgot to take a look at Xia Ze. He didn't know what Xia Ze meant by the better chance, because he felt that the chance just now was good enough, but he couldn't get it.

Beep-

When Zheng Zhi was about to take a corner kick, he was stopped by the referee. It turned out that Australia was going to make a substitution on the sidelines.

"Okay, Australia is going to use their first substitution in this game. The player who is going to play is also a veteran, 35-year-old Bresciano. It seems that the Australian team is preparing to strengthen the control of the midfield. Although Bresciano is already thirty He is five years old, but everyone knows that his interception and coverage in the midfield are very large, and the players of the Chinese team must deal with it carefully." Duan Xuan said cautiously.
