World Cup of Great Powers

"I don't know what happened to the Nigerian team today. It was very slow to enter the state."

"The Chinese team's series of attacks in the second half broke the opponent's door several times."

"If this continues, if Milutinovic doesn't adjust, we might be two goals ahead."

Huang Jianxiang's voice was full of joy.

This is a knockout round!

If another goal is scored, the Chinese team will be double insured!

Advancement to the quarterfinals is basically a certainty!

With a clear crisp sound.

Zhang Xiaorui's powerful shot from the penalty area missed the post and bounced off the baseline.

"Oh!"

"Almost!"

"A little closer!"

Huang Jianxiang expressed regret repeatedly.

"In the first 15 minutes of the second half, Zhang Xiaorui had already hit the post twice."

"The best player and top scorer of the Toulon Cup always misses the goals in the World Cup."

Seeing the "unchanged" score on the field, the fans, players and all the staff on the sidelines became excited.

"Oh, hey, it's coming soon."

"In ten minutes, no, in nine minutes, we will advance to the quarterfinals!"

"Oh my God! Am I dreaming?"

"World Cup quarter-finals? I haven't even thought about it!"

"Lao Jin, pinch yourself quickly to see if you are dreaming."

As the fans cheered louder and louder, the mentality of many players gradually changed.

Oops, we are about to enter the quarterfinals!

We are about to make new history!

Oh my god, I can't carry this ball anymore, hurry up and get out!

You must not let that guy break into the penalty area!

At this moment, out of reach of the camera, a bald black man wearing a white shirt and a brown patterned tie hurriedly ran out of the player tunnel.

This person is the leader of the Nigerian team!

Sweat had soaked through his shirt, blocking his view.

After running three or four more steps, I realized that the two sides had changed venues in the second half, and then quickly turned around and ran in the opposite direction.

Zeng Zheng, who was watching the game on the sidelines, noticed the figure running in leather shoes. For some reason, an ominous premonition arose in his heart.

Looking up, I saw the man quickly running to Milu's side, holding his knees and saying something out of breath.

The next second, everyone on Nigeria's bench stood up and raised their arms as if celebrating the championship.

"Oh, it's over!" Zeng Zheng shook his head.

...

"Oh, Nigeria has changed people?" Huang Jianxiang's voice came again.

"At the 67th minute of the game, Nigeria head coach Milutinovic chose to make a substitution."

"And we have to replace two players at once."

"Well...the ones replaced are No. 9 Yekini and No. 20 Ikpeba."

"The replacements are No. 4 Kanu and No. 14 Amokachi."

"The guys who come on are all forwards."

"It looks like Nigeria is going to fight back."

Seeing Milu's substitution, all the Nigerian players on the court were stunned.

Then they looked at each other, and all they saw were the lights in their teammates' eyes.

"It's done?"

"It's done!"

"We are victorious!"

Double down and double up is the signal agreed between Nigeria and Milu.

Milu suddenly replaced the two main forwards on the field. Needless to say, the domestic side must have compromised!

Ah!

It seems that you are also afraid that you will not be able to hold your head high in front of other African buddies like South Africa?

What did you do early?

snort!

Come on, Team China!

Let you see the real attack of Africans!

In the 71st minute, Fenidi George intercepted the ball in the midfield and then took the ball all the way to the front of the Chinese team's penalty area.

Before Li Tie could come over to defend, he followed up with a powerful shot and the ball went straight to the lower left corner of the goal.

At the critical moment, Ou Chuliang jumped up and blocked the ball with one arm.

The whole person rolled around on the ground before he could get up.

This is Ou Chuliang's signature getting up movement.

But this time when he stood up, he secretly rubbed his wrist.

Immediately afterwards, Nigeria took a corner kick.

Ou Chuliang jumped up high, and with all his strength, he put the ball over the head of Kanu, who was 1.97 meters tall, and pushed the ball out of the penalty area with his fingertips.

After Li Tie got the ball, he didn't dare to hesitate and kicked the ball out of the sideline with a big kick.

Just when the Nigerians were about to throw the throw-in, Zeng Zheng, who had been preparing beside the fourth official for a long time, immediately shouted loudly.

"Referee, make a substitution, we need to make a substitution!!!"

"Oh? The Chinese team has also changed!"

"The replacement is No. 22 Zhang Xiaorui, and the replacement is No. 12 Xie Feng."

"It seems that the Chinese team is going to strengthen its defense."

Zhang Xiaorui had a dark face, and as soon as he walked off the stage, he couldn't help but complain to Zeng Zheng.

"Boss Zeng, what would I do? I can still run, I can definitely get in..."

"Get in your MB! Go back to your seat and stay there!"

Zeng Zheng, who was on the sidelines, kicked Zhang Xiaorui to the chair in front of the satellite broadcast, then turned his head and stared at the court intently.

Xie Feng came on stage with a mission.

As soon as he came on the field, he stood with General Fan, one behind the other, flanking Kanu on the left and right.

Even though this guy is only 1.97 meters tall, he has a lot of tricks on his feet!

If you only look at his height and ignore Kanu's feet, then he will definitely find an opportunity to give you a fatal blow!

Although a defensive player was replaced, Nigeria's next attack still caused Ochuliang to make an embarrassing save.

Fortunately, Xie Feng was alert and jumped in front of Amokaqi who took a follow-up shot and cleared the ball out of the penalty area.

When the Nigerian defender ran to the sideline of his own backcourt to pick up the ball and prepared to organize an attack again, the Chinese team called for a substitution again.

"Slow down and run, fuck!" Zeng Zheng shouted to Zhang Yuheng.

"Take it easy."

"You are the hero of the goal, yes, raise your hands and applaud."

"Go around again and thank the fans."

"Don't fucking talk to the referee!"

"Just walk away."

“The slower the better!”

"Beep!!!"

Under the command of Zeng Zheng, the referee from Chile caught up with Zhang Yuheng and gave him a yellow card in front of all the Chinese staff on the sidelines.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Ah, Xiao Zeng, what are you doing?"

"What an injustice to this card!"

"What are you..."

Before Jin and Chi could finish complaining, Zeng Zheng cursed at the referee.

"Hello!"

"What are you doing?"

"He walked to the sidelines!"

"It's going to end soon."

"Why do you show him your cards?"

"Come on, explain it to me clearly."

"Why?"

"Which school did you graduate from?"

"Who taught you to bring up cards now?"

"You must tell me clearly today, otherwise I won't let you go back!"

Faced with Zeng Zheng's chatter, the referee raised his hand without hesitation and showed Zeng Zheng a card.

If Zeng Zheng's long string of words contains a curse word, it is not yellow.

With Zhang Yuheng and Zeng Zheng setting an "example", Yao Xia, who came on as a substitute, also slowly ran onto the field.

As a result, as soon as he took two steps, Zeng Zheng's roar came from behind him.

"Fuck, are you stupid?"

"Run quickly, run up quickly to defend!"

After Yao Xia heard this, he spread his legs and hurried to his defense area.

Zeng Zheng used the same method again in the 79th minute.

Not far away, Milu hugged his shoulders and watched Zeng Zheng's "poor" performance with interest.

As a world-famous coach, he certainly knew Zeng Zheng's purpose in doing this.

"Boy, is this your last substitution card?"

"Let's see what else you can do next!"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, I didn't expect that there is such a young figure in the backward Asian football."

“If you have the chance, you must go to China!”

Zeng Zheng didn't want to play the last substitution card so early.

There is no way!

Nigeria's continuous corner kicks and set kicks overwhelmed the Chinese team, and Ou Chuliang resisted.

The bubble gum in his mouth had already been spit out, and his handsome face was covered with dust.

Zeng Zheng did not dare to make a substitution during the penalty kick, so he had to take advantage of General Fan's desperate header to clear the sideline and play the last substitution card.

This is the last effort I can make.

The remaining ten minutes are up to you!

Zeng Zheng pinched his waist and prayed in his heart.

But what is supposed to come will still come.

In the 81st minute, Fenidi George forced a breakthrough from the left and made a pass.

The unguarded Amokachi charged in from behind.

Facing the ball in the air, he volleyed directly before the ball hit the ground.

The ball was so fast that Ou Chuliang subconsciously intercepted it with his feet.

Even so, the goal was still not saved.

After scoring the goal, Amokachi did not celebrate, but hurriedly ran into the goal, ran back to the midfield with the ball, and restarted the game.

In the 85th minute, Okocha flashed left and right in front of the penalty area, making continuous fake kicks and real dunks.

All the international players were hit with accuracy, but they didn't dare to commit a direct foul.

After swaying three defenders in a row, Okoza saw the opportunity and flicked the ball with his left foot.

The ball jumped high and flew into the penalty area.

Kanu, who was inserted in the middle, jumped up in front of Ou Chuliang, General Fan and Xie Feng, and smashed the ball to the ground with his forehead.

boom!

The ball bounced off the ground and passed Ou Chuliang's left arm, hitting the net directly.

The moment the ball hit the net, the shouts of the Chinese fans stopped abruptly.

What followed was the cheers of less than 3,000 Nigerian fans at the scene.

"Hey! I really can't stop it!"

Zeng Zheng shook his head, carried the mineral water bottle, and returned to his seat.

He watched the two balls just now with God's Eye View and shouted, but the players on the field couldn't react at all.

When the rhythm is always half a beat slower than the opponent's, one step is wrong and every step is wrong.

Trying to make up for your defensive ability by setting up a bus is simply not enough for people to see!

The first minute of injury time.

Taking advantage of the Chinese team's aggressive attack, Lu Fei pounced on the ball and threw the ball with great force to the feet of Kanu, who ran to midfield in advance.

After Kanu got the ball, he dunked Li Tie who was chasing after him and Xie Feng who was defending, and then sent a kick straight forward. Adepoyu, who was inserted from the wing, ran up and down from behind with a speed visible to the naked eye.

Wei Daxia didn't move, and then chased the ball.

Facing the attacking Ou Chuliang, Adeboyo dunked lightly and then pushed the shot into the empty goal.

3 to 1, Nigeria secured the victory!

When the final whistle blew, the green in the stands was completely boiling.

Huang Jianxiang's eyes were filled with tears at this moment.

"The game is over."

"3 to 1."

"At the last moment, the Chinese team failed to hold on and fell at the gate of the World Cup quarterfinals."

"Even so, we made history!"

"World Cup Round of 16!"

"Such results are enough to satisfy us."

Having said that.

But the tears flowed down uncontrollably.

In the stands, Wang Junsheng's eyes were also soaked with tears.

Even if the game is over, even if the team has been eliminated.

Looking around, there were all fans shouting "We won't cry", "Come on Team China", and "We will always support you".

"Team leader, the World Cup is over!" Secretary Xiao Zhao on the side said sadly, wiping away tears.

"No, the World Cup has just begun." Wang Junsheng looked into the distance with deep eyes.
