World Cup of Great Powers

Chapter 160: Closing the Net

Anxious?

Judging from Zeng Zheng's operation of playing two substitution cards in a row, it seemed that he was indeed in a hurry.

After Shen Han came on the court, the Chinese Youth Team immediately changed its formation to 442.

Li Yi is no longer responsible for protection and assists.

After being banned from protecting the ball by Zeng Zheng, he also began to show his aggressive side.

Even so, after another wave of attacks by the China Youth Team, Zeng Zheng was still not satisfied with Li Yi's performance.

Continue to play the substitution card and replace Li Yi with Wang Shuo to strengthen the forward attack.

Brazilian team coach Merreira saw the move.

In view of the fast speed of the Chinese Youth Team, two substitution cards were played in succession.

At this point in the game, there are only 15 minutes of regular time left.

Zeng Zheng took a sip of water and muttered something under his breath.

In this sentence, no one heard what he said except the receiving target.

The time was less than 1 minute, and Wang Shuo, who took the initiative to retreat and help his teammates in the midfield and frontcourt to organize, appeared next to Ronaldinho at some unknown time.

A flying shovel with semi-glossy spikes knocked down the outer side of the opponent's supporting foot.

Ronaldinho lost his support and before he could send the ball out, his body dangled and he fell to the ground from mid-air.

"Beep!!!"

The referee stopped the game again.

Before the players from both sides gathered around, a yellow card was shown above Wang Shuo's head.

This is the 8th yellow card the Chinese Youth Team has received in the entire game!

Wang Shuo stood up expressionlessly, without even looking at the yellow card above his head, and walked towards the team.

No one on the team blamed Wang Shuo.

In order to keep Ronaldinho at bay, Zeng Zheng deployed a large number of troops in the front, middle and backcourts for this game.

"Hiss~~"

"I'm fine."

Ronaldinho grimaced in pain.

When he fell to the ground, his socks got caught on Wang Shuo's spikes, leaving two bloody marks.

With the help of his teammates, Ronaldinho slowly stood up.

I moved my legs a little.

Although the two blood stains looked scary, they were only superficial injuries.

Merella was so angry that she cursed on the sidelines.

Now the whole world knows the player Ronaldinho.

Many clubs in Europe are already working hard to bring in this Brazilian genius.

Arsenal in the Premier League even spent millions of dollars hoping to buy it.

It would be a pity if such a star was injured and left the field in the World Youth semi-finals.

"Damn the Chinese team!"

He looked at the time and then at the blood stains on Ronaldinho's legs.

Merella finally couldn't help it and played the last substitution card, replacing Ronaldinho.

Seeing Ronaldinho limping off the field, Merela looked distressed.

"Ronnie, are you okay?"

"Sit down and take a rest and let the team doctor give you some medicine."

"That damn Zeng, he is going to destroy you!"

Upon hearing what Merella said, Ronaldinho immediately defended Zeng Zheng.

"Mr. Merella, you can't say that!"

"Coach Zeng sent so many people to guard me, which actually recognizes my strength!"

"It's not too late for me to be happy!"

Facing Ronaldinho's still optimistic smiling face, Merela shook her head and sighed.

"What kind of ecstasy was given to Ronnie this time?"

...

The second dead ball after Ronaldinho was substituted, Zeng Zheng immediately played the last substitution card.

"Oh?"

“Coach Zeng has also been replaced!”

"The last player he replaced was negotiated by the Harbin Jianglong Team and replaced Li Yan."

"Li Yan has tried his best in this game so far and has already suffered from cramps."

"Now that Li Yan has been replaced, it seems that the Chinese Youth Team is going to make its final attack."

After hugging Li Yan, they discussed and ran onto the court with their arms held.

While running, he recalled what Zeng Zheng had just said in his ear.

"Remember, you only have 2-3 chances."

"If you haven't won after 3 chances, you have to try other tricks!"

"For example, that..."

"That one?" Xiangyan curled his lips and muttered, "I don't want to use that one!"

After the discussion came on stage, Zeng Zheng's commands and shouts became less and less compared to before.

By the time the game got to this point, my net had been cast wide.

Whether they can pull in the net and catch the fish depends on the performance of the team members.

As a head coach, he is almost useless.

The appearance of the discussion aroused Merela's alarm.

The discussion is not only Zeng Zhengjian Lipao's team, but also a super substitute for this World Youth Championship.

His unconventional assists against Mali made everyone who watched the ball shine.

With both speed and Brazilian skills at his feet, a player like this needs at least one defender to keep an eye on him at all times.

In the last 10 minutes, the head coaches of both teams exhausted their substitution cards and allowed the players on the field to play freely.

Just two minutes into the game, the Chinese Youth Team had a chance to counterattack.

Zheng Zhi, who was defending in the backcourt, intercepted the ball despite the danger of getting a second yellow card, and then immediately distributed it to Xu Yunlong beside him.

Xu Yunlong didn't say anything after receiving the ball. He kicked the ball forward to the right and then raised his head and moved forward, looking for his teammate who was advancing forward.

According to the requirements of the playing style arranged by Zeng Zheng, before he can catch up with the ball, he must find a suitable teammate to respond.

The next time he touches the ball, it's a long pass.

Therefore, Xu Yunlong's kick is slightly longer than when dribbling the ball normally, leaving more preparation time for himself and his teammates.

After raising his head and scanning the front, Xu Yunlong quickly found his teammates who were advancing forward.

Look at the opponent's running route, take a big kick, and pass the ball diagonally to the frontcourt.

"Back to defense, wide!" Merella revealed the key point.

In the stands, the woman in sunglasses looked curious.

"Uncle Chamber, why does Coach Zeng always play on the wing? Can't we attack the center once in a while?"

Chamberlain smiled when he heard this and said, "Miss, this football offense is not as simple as it seems."

"In this game, Zeng Zheng has decided to play on the wing."

"So his tactical command and lineup arrangements are also to prepare for wing attacks."

"It is precisely because of such supporting tactical support that the Chinese team's wing attack can produce effects and threats."

"On the contrary, if a player wants to play in the middle, he can only rely on his own personal skills and the improvised cooperation of his teammates."

"In this way, the probability of a final shot will be very low."

"It is also very likely that this offensive opportunity will be wasted."

The girl in sunglasses nodded after hearing this.

Although she doesn't understand football, she learns it quickly.

As soon as Uncle Qian explained, she understood.

"So, do you think we can succeed in this attack?"

Uncle Qian frowned and did not answer immediately.

Also frowning like Chamber was Brazilian coach Merreira.

At this moment, Guan Yang was carrying the ball, flying past him like a gust of wind.

Recalling the black shadow that just passed before her eyes, Merela's heart was full of questions.

What he was questioning wasn't why the discussion was so fast, or why Edu hadn't caught up yet.

What he was confused about was: Why did this kid appear here?

It was agreed that Li Yan would come on as a substitute, but before Li Yan came off the field, he had been replaced by Zeng Zheng as the left winger.

But this time, Xiangyuan took the ball and rushed up the right side of the Chinese team.

What's happening here?

Did the team member make a mistake?

Or by chance?

boom!

Before Merreira could react, he deliberated before the baseline, looked at his teammate who was outflanking him in the middle, and made a pass.

Since there was no interference from defensive players around him, the quality of this cross was extremely high.

Shen Han in the middle jumped up high and took the lead in hitting the ball with his head.

Brazil goalkeeper Mireo made the save immediately and tried his best to stretch his body.

The ball hit the turf in front of the goal, grazed the post and bounced off the baseline.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah~~"

"This goal is such a shame!"

“The Chinese team tied the score just a few centimeters away!”

Without the help of the on-site commentator, the fans had already expressed regret and let out a series of lamentations.

After landing, Shen Han looked at the missed ball and fell to the ground with his hands on the back of his head.

On the other hand, Xiang Yang also shook his arm fiercely.

He looked even more regretful than Shen Han.

"once."

Seeing the result of this attack, Zeng Zheng choked to himself on the sidelines.

Ronaldinho's departure has doubled the defensive pressure on the Chinese Youth Team.

In other words, after playing this game, the Chinese youth team no longer cares about how to defend.

On the other hand, the same was true for the Brazilian team on the opposite side. The game ended with less than ten minutes left.

No matter how unwilling the players are, they can only choose to retreat under the command of the coach in the face of the overall situation.

In this way, the Chinese Youth Team's defensive counterattack was broken without warning.

But that doesn't matter anymore.

Zeng Zheng waved his hand, and the Chinese Youth Team began to attack with all its strength.

"No matter what, Zeng Zheng still has two skills."

In the stands, Uncle Qian made a "tsk tsk" sound from his mouth.

"To be able to play to this point with the Brazilian team."

"Keep the score when you are one goal behind and persevere to counterattack until the end."

“Coach Zeng’s ability to lead a team is still top-notch in China.”

"And even though these players are beyond tired, the players in key positions are all physically fit."

"On this point alone, Coach Zeng's ability to recognize and employ people is unmatched by anyone in the country!"

The girl in sunglasses tilted her head after hearing this, "Uncle Chamber, tell me, which of the players on the field is the most important?"

"The most important thing? Of course..."

Halfway through his words, Chamberlain suddenly realized something and quickly closed his mouth.

"Miss, I can't say that."

When he said this, he pointed the way.

You must know that this time the girl in sunglasses is here to "load goods".

While the two were talking, the Chinese youth team, which was pressing forward, once again attacked the front of the Brazilian team's penalty area.

This time, it was also a quick breakthrough from the negotiation.

Just one face-to-face meeting left Edu behind.

Thousands of miles!!!

Such a long distance makes it possible to negotiate a decisive incision at the bottom.

What's the pass?

Bring the ball into the penalty area first!

As soon as the front foot stepped into the penalty area, the Brazilian defender came over with the back foot.

Seeing that Edu was about to return to his defensive position, he gritted his teeth, moved his left foot to the left, and then took a step forward with his right foot, hoping to rely on speed to pass his opponent again.

But this time, although the fried meatballs that were discussed were already cooked to perfection, the opponent reacted immediately.

[Recommended, the Huanyuan app is really useful for chasing books. Download it here. huanyuanapp. You can try it soon. 】

The Brazilian team's central defender moved laterally and hit the negotiator's shoulder with his shoulder.

As soon as the two collided, the negotiation on the tightrope on the baseline immediately "flyed" sideways and fell out of bounds.

"Referee, foul!"

"Isn't this enough?"

Since it was inside the Brazilian team's penalty area, the referee was very cautious in making the penalty.

He stretched out his right hand and raised it up continuously, indicating that he should stand up quickly, then turned his head and looked away.

"grass!"

Discuss and hammer the ground hard.

This time he failed to attack again.

"Twice." Zeng Zheng frowned slightly, but still didn't say anything more.

On the other side, Merella slapped her thigh.

"Good guy!"

"I finally know!"

"Damn Zeng, cunning Zeng!"

"So this is what you planned!!"

In the stands, Uncle Qian also relaxed his brows and opened his mouth slightly.

"So that's it!"

"Zeng Zheng, Zeng Zheng!"

"What a trick to subvert one's strengths and weaknesses, and secretly infiltrate Chen Cang!"

"What?" The girl in sunglasses looked curious.

"Miss, do you still remember that Shao Jiayi from Gui'an used to play as a left winger?"

"That's right, remember!"

"The reason why Zeng Zheng moved him to the right wing before was apparently because he wanted the two to switch and use Tian Ji's horse racing method to let Shao Jiayi deal with the right wing who has a 'stronger' defensive ability."

"But it was just a feint on his part."

"In fact, he used Li Yan to exhaust the last energy of the Brazilian team's left back."

"And because Shao Jiayi also played the whole game, it is reasonable that he failed to break through the opponent's defense zone in several attacks."

"In this way, the loophole of the Brazilian team's left back will be formed!"

The girl in sunglasses suddenly realized. "So that's it."

"But why didn't Coach Zeng launch an attack earlier?"

"That's because the opponent's coach still has a substitution card in his hand!" Chamber exclaimed.

"If a counterattack is launched in a hurry, the opponent's coach will definitely react in time and make adjustments immediately to make up for this loophole!"

"So at that time, Zeng Zheng came again to recruit Wei to save Zhao."

"Surround Wei and rescue Zhao?"

"That's right!" Chamber pointed at Ronaldinho on the bench of the Brazilian team, "Zeng Zheng deliberately increased his defense against the No. 21 who scored the Brazilian team's goal.

"In order to prevent his star player from getting injured, the Brazilian coach had to use the last substitution card to replace him."

"At this point, after the Brazilian team had no counterattack, Zeng Zheng played the last key card and launched the final counterattack!"

"That's the little guy No. 12 who was replaced at the end."

"Even though he is small, he is fast and good at dribbling. He is also a direct descendant of Zeng Zheng."

"You see, when he came on the field, he was standing as a left winger, but when he was defending, he was already in the middle."

"In this way, when attacking, he can take the opportunity to run to the right and launch a fast break on the right."

"Miss, you see, the Brazilian team doesn't attack much now, so he just stands on the right wing."

"And Shao Jiayi also took the initiative to return to the left."

"This change was not the result of a negotiation."

"It was revealed after the Brazilian team completely retreated."

"If the Chinese team can still play defensive counterattack, he will still cross paths with Shao Jiayi."

"In this way, it will be even more hidden!"

Speaking of this, Uncle Qian couldn't help but nod his head, "Having said that, Zeng Zheng is also amazing!"

"You have obviously poked a hole in the opponent's defense, but you have been holding back for the next period of time, and used other attacks to cover up this loophole for the opponent, until the last moment to launch a crazy attack!"

"Plan and then act, defeat in one fell swoop!"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, I underestimated this kid too much!"

Hearing Uncle Qian's compliment, the girl in sunglasses shook her long flowing hair, with a smile on her face.

"Uncle Chamber, let me tell you, Coach Zeng is a magical coach!"

"Haha, I admit that I underestimated him." Chamber nodded, "But this stadium is like a battlefield."

"Man proposes, God disposes!"

"The Brazilian team is not a weak team like those in Asia."

"Not only is he strong personally, but his coaching skills are also among the best in the world."

"Zeng Zheng continuously created such a big gap on the right and played such a threatening attack. The Brazilian coach will definitely notice it."

"Although there is no substitution card in hand, it is still easy to switch players with stronger physical strength to the wing to participate in defense."

"Now it depends on how quickly the Brazilian players adjust and react."

Now that things have come to this, Zeng Zheng can be said to have used all his cards.

Just like what Uncle Qian said, it's up to people to plan things, and it's up to God to make things happen.

He has already come up with the optimal solution to the situation of being one goal behind. If he doesn't score again, he will have no good solution.

That's the thing about football, there is no permanent winner.

The Brazilian team was in full swing.

After negotiating two consecutive breakthroughs from the right, he immediately caught Merella's attention.

At this time, he was standing on the sidelines, dancing and giving orders, instructing the players on how to deploy their defenses.

But Merella is not like Zeng Zheng who has a "big voice" and can "accomplish the mission".

Some of his instructions can only be passed down layer by layer through the team members passing by on this side, and then modified step by step.

Whether a team is well-trained can be clearly reflected in this aspect.

Just as the Brazilian players changed their formations little by little, Shanxi once again received the ball on the right.

After getting the ball this time, he quickly turned around.

Without waiting for the opponent to react, he pushed with his left foot and pushed the ball through the opponent's wicket.

The next second, I decided to open my legs.

The sudden speed allowed him to be one position ahead of his opponent in an instant, and then he was further and further away.

Edu is still far away from him at the moment.

During this period, we discussed increasing the speed to the maximum and moving forward in stride.

Seeing Edu rushing over from the inside of the court, he looked like he would die with him.

He bit his lower lip, his eyes full of determination.

"This is the third time!"

"If it doesn't work this time, I will use it according to the coach's instructions..."

"He nnd, fight hard!"

Facing the opponent's already raised shoulders, he negotiated with his legs to gallop without any intention of slowing down.

In the blink of an eye, two figures, red and yellow, appeared on the screen.

Seeing the lightning, many fans held their breath.

Especially the girlfriend Wu Na who was discussing it.

She even covered her eyes in front of the TV and couldn't bear to look directly.

"Xiao Yi, don't make mistakes!"

Uh-huh!!!

However, the situation of Mars hitting the Earth did not happen.

The next second, the yellow and red figures on the screen quickly separated and rushed out along their previous routes.

Collision?

joke!

Don't be deceived by your eyes!

At that moment, the two of them were at different latitudes, just like this.

"Oh, the cake seller!"

"What just happened?"

The commentator was extremely excited.

Just now, facing Edu's desperate collision, he stepped on the ball with his right foot and made a Marseille spin on top of the ball.

It was this movement of stepping on the ball and turning around that allowed him to miss the opponent's impact by a millisecond without slowing down much.

"Consult and rush over with the ball!" The commentator on the stage also shouted in a low voice.

In the footage, after dribbling the ball to get rid of the opponent's last defender outside the penalty area, he penetrated diagonally into the Brazilian team's penalty area in the blink of an eye.

Facing the central defender who came over to defend, the negotiator did not hesitate at all this time and directly passed the ball.

"Discuss the cross!"

In the wide angle shot, Negotiation kicks a banana ball.

Although the ball spun in the opposite direction of the Brazilian goalkeeper, the quality of the kick was not too high and the height of the kick was not paid attention to.

If you lift the ball with your legs, it will fly a little high; if you use your chest, it will fly a little lower.

It was this waist-high ball that made the Brazilian defender hesitate for a short time, not knowing where to block it.

Taking advantage of this moment, Shao Jia, who broke in from the left, rushed over, got out between the two Brazilian center backs, and faced the ball with his body.

"Shao Jiayi shoots!" The commentator on the stage looked excited.

The ball spinning in the air suddenly changed direction after hitting Shao Jiayi and flew forward in the direction of Shao Jiayi's running.

Although Mireo made the save immediately.

But what he held in his arms was Shao Jiayi's body that lost his center of gravity and fell to the ground.

And the ball had already sunk into the net.

“goooooooooooooooal!!!”

The on-site commentator immediately shouted loudly.

"Goal scored!"

"Chinese team!"

"In the 87th minute of the game, he saved himself from the edge of the cliff!!!"
