World Cup of Great Powers

Chapter 22 Saudi Arabia’s unexpected move

Just as Zeng Zheng feared, although Li Tie's defense did not make any mistakes, Kuwait's offense quickly forced the Chinese team in front of the goal after the opening.

After passing Li Tie, Houwadi suddenly fired a cold arrow in front of General Fan outside the penalty area.

Ou Chuliang took a step laterally and flew out, holding the ball firmly in his arms, then rolled around on the ground and got up, raising his left arm to indicate safety.

"Ou Chuliang saved the ball really well!"

"No, I have been his fan since I was at Guangdong Sports School!"

"If you ask me, Jiang Jin should not have been allowed to play in the match against Qatar. I heard that he used to play volleyball. What do you think of Bamboo Shoes?"

As Ou Chuliang threw the ball, Sun Zhengping explained: "At the press conference before the game, the Kuwaiti head coach made it clear that they would seize any opportunity to seek victory."

"So we have to try not to make any mistakes defensively and not let our opponents take any chances."

"Whoosh!"

While Sun Zhengping was explaining, Sun Jihai made a long diagonal pass and accurately found Ma Mingyu in the left frontcourt.

This pass seemed to be in a hurry, but the Quanxing international player firmly caught it in his chest and stepped on it.

He looked at Su Maozhen and Gao Feng running ahead, and then at Zhang Xiaorui who was waving to him not far away.

Ma Mingyu finally chose to go it alone.

Sturt left and sway right.

After passing two defenders in succession, Ma Mingyu finally chose a long shot in front of the opponent's defender.

Bang!!!

A wall of two Kuwaiti defenders blocked the ball's path and blocked Ma Mingyu's long shot.

The opponent's goalkeeper didn't even move. Who dares to say that the ball was of high quality?

Seeing Ma Mingyu's long shot blocked, Zhang Xiaorui was speechless.

He turned his head and looked towards the sidelines. Zeng Zheng also pinched his waist and shouted something.

Zeng Zheng had already alerted Ma Mingyu through the sound transmission that there were teammates around him to take the ball just now, but the old international player finally chose to take a long shot.

Although Zeng Zheng was a little dissatisfied with this, he didn't say anything. Instead, he urged the two midfielders to retreat quickly to guard against the opponent's fast break.

At this moment, there was a noise from the coaching bench.

"Fuck, what did you say? Is there such a thing?"

"TMD, it's so dark!"

"Lao Gu, go and tell Coach Xiao Zeng!" Although Chi Shangbin was anxious, without realizing it, he had already called Coach Xiao Zeng.

After hearing the information passed by Gu Mingchang, Zeng Zheng couldn't help but frown.

Here, the Kuwait and Chinese teams have already scored one goal each, but the Doha team has just kicked off!

After calculating the time, it was about 6 minutes late!

Zeng Zheng thought that Saudi Arabia would engage in off-market moves, but he never thought that it would be so thorough.

"Fuck, what's going on?"

"What caused the late kickoff? Have you figured it out?"

"What? I don't know? What do you do for food? You can't even find out this bit of information?"

Jin Zhiyang was so angry that his temples bulged. When he checked his urine test, it was definitely positive.

But Zeng Zheng didn't think about this.

Now that something has happened, even knowing the cause is of no use.

At this moment, it’s better to score another goal as soon as possible!

But here Kuwait seemed to be on drugs and launched a fierce attack on the Chinese team's goal.

Ou Chuliang received a high block and a low block, and Jiang Er had already saved three shots.

Because Ma Mingyu and Zhang Xiaorui both retreated to the penalty area, Su Maozhen and Gao Feng completely lost contact with the backcourt.

Even if the players wanted to counterattack, they couldn't do it for a while.

Just when Zeng Zheng was desperately trying to use sound transmission to help his players move and make up positions, Gu Mingchang ran over again with a worried look on his face.

"Coach Xiao Zeng."

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

"Saudi Arabia scored again." Gu Mingchang's voice was full of disappointment.

Everything that Zeng Zheng predicted before has come true, and it is the worst result.

"It's true that Qatar played so well after a coaching change, and the last game was at their home court. Why are they so hopeless?" Gu complained.

But Zeng Zheng knew that it was not that Qatar had no future, but the gap in strength.

Saudi Arabia is already strong!

Except for the "upset" loss to themselves 0-3, the previous top ten games have been won at the minimum cost, and the coaching staff has been very good.

Now it's the last game, which involves the right to qualify for the World Cup. Qatar's small home advantage is nothing compared to Saudi Arabia, which is fully attacking!

After thinking about it, Zeng Zheng gritted his teeth and spent 100 points to redeem a panoramic live broadcast of Saudi Arabia and Qatar.

In his mind, Zeng Zheng could clearly see that the opponent's time was more than 5 minutes and 30 seconds different from his own, and the score on the field was 2-0.

He NND, these West Asian teams are so evil!

After Zeng Zheng complained, he shouted to Li Tie:

"Li Tie, take out your sucking energy and guard it against me!!!"

After hearing Zeng Zheng's order, Li Tie's eyes turned red, and it seemed that some kind of passivity was triggered.

For a moment, this young player, who had been replaced by Qi Misheng at the 30-minute mark a few days ago, turned into a mad dog and ran rampant in front of his own penalty area.

Crash, tackle, squeeze, pull, resist, protect the ball.

In just 5 minutes, Li Tie took over 90% of the Chinese team's physical confrontations.

After paying the price of a yellow card, when this young international player with physical talent reaching 3S got up from the ground again, his two dull single eyelids under his cabbage head shocked the Kuwaiti players.

This guy doesn’t want his life?!

Questions and exclamations coexist.

No one knows what Li Tie was thinking at this time.

But Li Tie himself knew it very well.

Zeng Zheng’s words are an order and an imperial edict!

Under Li Tie's crazy running and pressing, other international players got a lot of breathing time.

Zhang Huahua saw the right opportunity, suddenly rushed out of the penalty area, and intercepted the ball from the feet of the Kuwaiti forward one step ahead.

Then he raised his foot and accurately found Sun Jihai who was sprinting down the wing.

Sun Jihai jumped up and stretched out his foot to block the ball, stopping it two meters in front of him.

Then he caught up with the ball in one lunge and sprinted along the right wing.

According to Zeng Zheng's coaching staff, Sun Jihai's best positions are right back, right midfielder, right midfielder and right winger.

Secondly, except for goalkeeper, other positions have good reviews.

In the column of his passive skills, the words "Almighty" are clearly listed.

So from the right backcourt all the way to the right frontcourt, Sun Jihai not only kept his speed without losing pace, but he even had the energy to observe his teammates running in the middle.

At this moment, not only Gao Fengsu Maozhen, but Zhang Xiaorui was also trying his best to get in front.

Ma Mingyu is a little older and is lagging behind the other three, but he is still moving forward with all his strength.

What a great Sun Jihai.

Facing two consecutive Kuwaiti defenders, they used changes in speed and rhythm to pass each other.

The first is straight-line acceleration.

When the second defender came to his side, Sun Jihai stepped on the ball lightly, and then he followed up and poked the ball out with the toe of his left foot.

It was this lag in rhythm that left Kuwait's backcourt wide open.

In the blink of an eye, Sun Jihai dribbled the ball into the Kuwait penalty area.

"Sun Jihai broke through with the ball."

"Continuously pass the opponent's defenders."

"He rushed into the opponent's penalty area."

During Sun Zhengping's calm explanation, Sun Jihai raised his right foot and made a cross.

But the moment he touched the ball, a blue leg suddenly appeared under his feet.

After being blocked, Sun Jihai lost his footing and fell forward directly into the Kuwait penalty area.

At this moment, the entire Jinzhou Stadium exploded.

"Penalty kick, penalty kick, penalty kick!!!"

Zeng Zheng and the fans on the field roared loudly.

Soon, the referee from Italy ran forward and pointed to the penalty spot regardless of the obstruction of others.

Seeing this scene, Zeng Zheng turned his back to the sky, veins popped out, clenched his fists, and made a fierce "Oye" on both sides of his body.

"Coach Xiao Zeng, penalty kick, haha, it's a penalty kick, great, penalty kick!!!"

Gu Mingchang was also smiling from ear to ear at this moment and clapped his hands beside Zeng Zheng.

"Coach Xiao Zeng, who will kick the ball?"

Although Chen Xirong couldn't hide his excitement, he remembered the last game against Saudi Arabia and couldn't help but come over to remind him.

At this time, both General Fan and Zhang Xiaorui on the court looked eagerly to the sidelines, waiting for Zeng Zheng's instructions.

As the team's top free throw shooter, General Fan could only look at Zeng Zheng's face at this moment.

"Oh, I didn't think carefully." Zeng Zheng slapped his forehead, then held his hands like a trumpet to his mouth and shouted loudly:

"Lao Gao, let Ma Mingyu kick, let Ma Mingyu kick!"

Gao Feng, who was holding the ball, heard this and immediately put the ball into Ma Mingyu's hands to prevent Zhang Xiaorui and General Fan from asking him for the ball later.

"Coach Xiao Zeng, why did you think of letting Ma Mingyu play?"

Gu Mingchang looked curious.

Letting Zhang Xiaorui play in the last game can be said to be taking care of his direct descendants, but since he won't take care of him this time, why not let General Fan punish him?

"Ah, this!" Zeng Zheng replied casually, "Lao Ma is more active today, let him score a goal and feel his feet!"
