World Cup of Great Powers
Chapter 226: Sacrifice and Promotion
There are no underdogs in the competition.
Spain once again taught the National Olympics a lesson in the Olympics.
Compared with last year's World Youth Championship, the Spanish team's cooperation is more tacit and their tactical system is more mature.
Judging from the scene, the semi-main force in the National Olympics actually did not perform worse than its opponents.
But in terms of grasping opportunities, it is still slightly inferior.
0 to 2.
It's not a desperate score on a football pitch.
The key question is how to play in the second half, and who will trigger the opportunity for the goal.
During the halftime break, people also gradually learned about the score of the other side of the field through various channels.
The Olympic fans are extremely anxious.
What comes out when I go to the toilet is yellow liquid with foam.
Including fans in front of domestic TV sets and radios, the most emotional words were: "It would be a real pity if we lose this game!"
Isn't it such a pity?
Since 1988, the National Olympics has once again entered the Olympic finals after 12 years of hard work.
Although there was no "big show" in the first two games, the two consecutive historic victories still made the fans shed tears.
But who would have thought that after winning two games in a row at the National Olympics, they failed to ensure qualifying.
Who can understand such an experience?
If we really lose to Spain in this last game and are eliminated, it would be better to lose the first two games directly and give up thinking about it early.
"The current situation of the National Olympics reminds me of the little days of the last Olympic Games."
Huang Jianxiang's voice sounded from the microphone.
"In the last Olympic Games, the first opponent in the group stage was the Brazilian team that had just won the World Cup."
"What no one expected during the commentary was that Xiaotian actually defeated his opponent with a score of 1-0."
"After three games in the group stage, I had two wins and one loss with 6 points, but I was eliminated by Brazil and Nigeria due to goal difference."
“Is today’s Olympic team going to make the same mistake?”
"Asian teams want to gain further rankings in intercontinental competitions. In addition to strength, they also lack some luck!"
Huang Jianxiang's words made the fans deeply moved.
From a probability perspective, the probability of getting 6 points but being eliminated is only one in 40.
However, this situation is very likely to happen to Asian teams in two consecutive Olympic Games. It is no wonder that Asian teams are unlucky.
If you think about the deeper reason, it is that under the existing "seeded team" grouping system, if a weak team wants to challenge a strong team and eliminate the strong team, it must make more efforts.
During the halftime break, Zeng Zheng did not make any personnel adjustments.
Firstly, it was because the players' performance in the first half was generally satisfactory, and secondly, because there was really no one to replace on the bench.
"General Fan, General Fan, you have to hold on for me in the second half!"
After the start of the second half, the National Olympic Games first used tactical corner kicks to look for opportunities.
After receiving a short corner kick pass from Zhao Junzhe, Shen Si was still three meters away from the nearest Spanish defender.
After adjusting her footwork, Shen Si glanced at three of her own teammates in the penalty area who were preparing to rush forward, and made a pass with her left foot.
"boom!"
Big head Li Weifeng followed up with a header from behind and the ball missed the far post.
In the 52nd minute of the game, Guo Olympic broke through Spain's midfield barrier with a smooth pass.
Zhao Junzhe started dribbling the ball from the 30-meter area and instigating the attack.
After several consecutive false starts and changes of direction, he moved the ball to the top of the penalty area. After attracting the attention of three defensive players, he decisively distributed the ball to the left side.
It's a pity that Shensi and Zhao Junzhe didn't have enough tacit understanding. They never expected that Zhao Junzhe would pass the ball from this angle at this time.
With a hasty cross that seemed to be a shot but not a shot, the ball rolled past Cassie and went straight out of the baseline.
"Ah, Shen Si's handling of the ball is too poor!"
"I could see that he was a little hesitant, not knowing whether to pass or shoot."
"The National Olympics can no longer waste opportunities like this!"
Not only Huang Jianxiang, the fans also expressed regret.
Regardless of the fact that Spain generally controls the ball, the National Olympics can still play a decent offense.
This is one of the reasons why Zeng Zheng has not made any substitution adjustments for the time being.
In the 59th minute, the National Olympics once again used a corner kick opportunity to create a dangerous situation.
It's a pity that General Fan's header was too straight, and Cassie held him firmly in his arms.
This is the second time that the young Real Madrid goalkeeper has competed against Zeng Zheng's team.
Having suffered a narrow defeat in last year's World Youth Championship, Cassie seems unusually stable this year.
In the 62nd minute, Guoao launched an attack from the right and accurately found the gap behind Puyol.
Qu Bo's cross in front of the baseline hit the target perfectly, but unfortunately Li Yi, who followed up, pushed his shot from behind, but it hit the billboard behind the goal.
Seeing this result, even Li Huajun and Li Hui were anxious.
"It will bloom but not bear fruit..." Zeng Zheng also sighed, "We need an opportunity!"
Ladd came over now and reminded in a low voice: "Zeng, it's time to change people."
Zeng Zheng nodded.
At this point, he can no longer be stubborn and accept the result that this lineup cannot score goals.
Just when Zeng Zheng ordered the substitutes to start warming up, Li Yan fought hard in the midfield and forced Harvey away from the ball.
After stealing the ball, Li Yan quickly distributed the ball to Zhao Junzhe, and the National Olympic Games ushered in an offensive opportunity in the midfield.
Xiao Zhao turned around to catch the ball and kicked the ball in the direction of Shen Si.
Just when everyone thought he would pass the ball to Shen Si on the sideline, Zhao Junzhe suddenly pushed with his left foot and sent a scalpel-like diagonal pass to the right.
When everyone reacted, Qu Bo, who had jumped in at high speed, had already stood out from the three people's double-team.
He stretched his foot and brought the ball into the penalty area.
After glancing at his teammates who were outflanking him in the middle, Qu Bo did not go down this time. Instead, he caught up with the ball and quickly passed the ball.
By coincidence, Qu Bo's cross hit Marchena's temple and changed direction.
Cassie, who was moving towards the center, couldn't react at all.
When he turned around to save, the ball had already hit the post and entered the net.
The young Real Madrid kid sat up from the post and pounded the ground hard.
"Zhaojun turns and stuffs..."
"Qubo..."
"Drove in with the ball..."
"Cross..."
"Ah yo?!"
"The ball went in?"
"Own goals!"
"Spain scored an own goal!"
Seeing the goal, Huang Jianxiang, who was a little tired just now, instantly became energetic.
"In the 65th minute of the game, Spain scored an own goal."
"This is a cross from young general Qu Bo."
"The ball hit the Spanish defender in the face and bounced into the net."
"The score on the field is now 1-2, and the National Olympic Games are one goal behind."
The sudden score made the Olympic coaching staff on the sidelines ecstatic.
"Heaven will not destroy me, God will not destroy me!" Li Huajun clapped his hands and laughed.
"Coach Zeng, should we make a substitution?" Li Hui asked excitedly.
"Change, of course we have to change, why not?" Zeng Zheng also looked ecstatic.
I’ve always wanted an opportunity, hasn’t this opportunity come?
"Xiao Hei, come here!"
In the national team, Zhang Minghua is Lao Hei, Zhang Xiaorui is Xiao Hei, and Zhang Yuheng is "Hei Zi".
Hearing Zeng Zheng calling him, Zhang Xiaorui ran over in a hurry.
"Boss Zeng, are you looking for me?"
"Are you okay?"
"It's okay, nothing happened to me. I've been fine for a long time!" Zhang Xiaorui threw his right leg.
Zeng Zheng took a look at Zhang Xiaorui's physical condition, and after confirming that he was only slightly injured, he began to quickly deploy tactics.
"Your job is to attack."
"Pass the last ball to me, as comfortable as it is, so that the striker can score with his eyes closed, do you hear me clearly?"
Zhang Xiaorui nodded firmly, "No problem!"
Zeng Zheng explained while looking at the court with his peripheral vision, waiting for the dead ball.
At this moment, a voice came from behind the two of them.
"Boss Zeng, please put me in as well."
When I looked back, I saw that it was Zhang Yuheng.
Zeng Zheng frowned and immediately wanted to shake his head.
But when he saw Zhang Yuheng's determined face, he swallowed the words on his lips again.
Both Zhang Yuhuang and Zhang Xiaorui suffered leg injuries, but Zhang Yuhuang was more "serious".
"can you?"
When Zeng Zheng hesitated, Zhang Yuheng immediately borrowed the pole to climb up.
"Boss Zeng, there's nothing wrong with me, I've been fine for a long time!"
After saying that, Zhang Yuhuan jumped on the spot twice, indicating that he was "unscathed" as well.
But could Zeng Zheng not know whether he was injured?
But the problem is that Shao Jiayi has accumulated yellow cards and is suspended, and Li Jinyu is a chicken-stealing forward.
According to the current situation in the National Olympics, a "front-dominant" center like Zhang Yuheng is what Zeng Zheng needs.
So the moment he saw Zhang Yuheng, Zeng Zheng was inevitably entangled between performance and player health.
"Uh... let's wait a little longer." Zeng Zheng was still hesitant.
"Boss Zeng, I've been waiting for a long time!" Zhang Yuhuan continued to ask, "Our morale is rising now. It would be great if we work hard to tie the score. Don't worry, Boss Zeng, I will definitely score!"
Am I afraid that you won't be able to score?
I'm afraid you'll get hurt a second time!
Just when Zeng Zheng was hesitant, Li Huajun also came over.
"Coach Zeng, it will definitely work if Xiao Zhang is replaced now!"
"Yes, with Xiao Zhang's size, a stop in the Spanish restricted area will be a deterrent." Li Hui also came over to persuade.
Seeing that Zeng Zheng was still hesitant, Li Huajun immediately winked at the two of them and asked them to follow him to the fourth official.
At this time, the ball happened to go out of bounds.
Under the fourth official's sign, the National Olympics completed two substitutions as a matter of course.
"Oh, there's a substitution for the National Olympics."
"Replaced Li Yan with Zhang Xiaorui, and Li Yi with Zhang Yuheng."
"Two cards for two plums."
"Zhang Xiaorui and Zhang Yuheng were both injured in the last game. Now they are replaced by two people. It seems that the National Olympics is not planning to preserve their strength."
After Zhang Xiaorui and Zhang Yuheng came on the stage, they immediately had a chemical reaction.
The first attack tore through Spain's defense from the right.
After receiving the ball, Zhang Xiaorui used his excellent personal ability to control the ball in the penalty area. After attracting two defenders, he turned around and passed the ball back to his following teammates.
Shensi stopped the ball outside the penalty area, took aim, and took a shot.
The ball turned into a scimitar in the air, and Casillas struggled to lift it out.
A minute later, it was Zhang Xiaorui who used his personal ability to create an opportunity in front of the penalty area.
He suddenly turned around and dunked past two defenders into the penalty area.
Fortunately, Puyol returned to defense in time, tackled the ball in advance and destroyed the ball out of the baseline.
However, faced with the fierce attack of the Olympic Games, Spain still could not hold on.
In the 74th minute, Shu Chang sent a through ball from the right. Zhang Xiaorui pulled to the right and quickly stepped in after getting the ball.
Facing Puyol rushing from the inside, Zhang Xiaorui saw the opportunity and sent a cross pass.
Zhang Yuheng, who was in the penalty area, met the ball and fired furiously. The ball flew away from Casey's hands and went straight into the goal from his big crotch.
"Beep!!!"
The whistle sounded, 2-2 tie!
Wow~~~
There was a burst of cheers from the sky above Melbourne Stadium.
"The ball is in!"
"Goal scored!"
“Coach Zeng’s two consecutive substitutions worked!”
"The assist was from Zhang Xiaorui, and the goal was from Zhang Yuheng!"
"This substitution is really a stroke of genius!"
"The National Olympics equalized the score!"
"The pressure is on Spain again!"
Zhang Yuheng's goal completely changed the situation on the field.
From heaven to hell, even if the Spaniard leads by two goals, he never takes it lightly.
Even so, the score was tied by the National Olympics.
In this way, as long as Chile does not concede a goal, they will be eliminated.
While the matador was panicking, coach Seth did not make corresponding substitution adjustments.
He did not see that the National Olympic Games created so many opportunities because they strengthened midfield control. Instead, he chose to directly replace the forwards in an attempt to strengthen the attack on the front line.
Seeing this, how could Zeng Zheng let go of such an opportunity?
"Zhang Ran, run forward and press on me!"
"And you, Shu Chang, push forward more!"
Your substitution is an invalid substitution.
In this case, of course I will take advantage of your illness to kill you!
In the 78th minute, Spain, which was tied with the score, suffered another heavy blow.
Capdevila made too many moves during a scramble and was sent off the field with a red card by the referee.
At this point, Spain can only fight with 10 men.
The balance of victory seems to have come to the side of the National Olympics.
In the 84th minute, Zhang Xiaorui's 45-degree cross from the right went straight to the goal. Zhang Yuheng volleyed the ball after stopping the ball.
However, the referee determined that "the handball foul came first" and the goal was invalid.
Seeing "another goal" from the National Olympics, Seth reacted and used the final substitution to consolidate the midfield.
But it was too late.
The other party realized it later, but Zeng Zheng did not give him the last chance.
Xu Yunlong replaced Zhao Junzhe who injured his knee.
With Capdevila's final kick, the spikes directly hit Zhaojun's broken kneecap.
"Go and deal with it quickly."
When Zhaojun came off the field, his left knee was dripping with blood and there was a circle of visible redness and swelling around it.
Seeing this situation, Zeng Zheng also felt a little regretful.
He didn't expect that in just a few minutes, Zhao Junzhe's knee injury would develop like this.
It seems that there are times when the system cannot predict it.
On the court, Spain had one less player on the field, and the National Olympics retreated completely.
Time also ran out as the National Olympics made big-footed rescues again and again.
In the 93rd minute, as Xavi's long shot went over the crossbar, the referee finally blew the whistle to end the game.
"Beep, beep!!!"
Three whistles sounded, and Huang Jianxiang was the first to stand up.
"The game is over!"
"We're qualified!"
"Congratulations to the National Olympics for advancing to the Olympic quarterfinals for the first time!!!"
Looking around in the stands, all Chinese fans were standing up, jumping and screaming.
Rossi threw his cowboy hat high in the air and burst into tears.
“It is worthy of the team led by Coach Zeng.”
"You can even recover 0 to 2."
"Okay, okay, okay!!!"
The fans cheered for joy, but Zeng Zheng's face looked a little ugly.
After a brief hug with his colleagues, Zeng Zheng trotted into the court wearing a pair of leather shoes worth tens of thousands of yuan.
"Xiao Zhang, sit down first and don't leave again!"
Zhang Yuheng, who was pushed to the ground, had a squirming look on his face, "Boss Zeng, I'm fine!"
"It's okay! Damn it!" Zeng Zheng was so angry that he slapped him on the head, "Stop blocking me. I know what your right leg looks like better than you!"
