World Cup of Great Powers

Chapter 279 Almost won

"What's your situation?"

"Isn't it possible for you to notice?"

"Are you still attacking?"

"What did I explain before? Did it all fall on deaf ears?"

In the locker room, Zeng Zheng was furious.

If it weren't for the heroic performance of the opponent's goalkeeper, the score would have been almost tied in the first half.

This is a centenary celebration!

What if something really happened?

There was really no way to explain it later.

"Zhang Xiaorui, come on in the second half."

"And Yang Chen, you should also rest."

Zeng Zheng made personnel adjustments in an orderly manner.

After replacing the two "culprits" of the first half's goals, Zeng Zhengcai managed to calm down.

Seeing Zhang Xiaorui's unconvinced face, Zeng Zheng stepped forward and kicked his butt.

"What? Still not convinced?"

"Boss Zeng, but..."

"But what?"

"But didn't you say that? We should deal with every opponent seriously, play every game seriously, and never give up until the last moment?"

"grass!"

Hearing this, Zeng Zheng choked.

As soon as he raised his head, he saw other team members looking at him eagerly.

Especially several Jianlibao students.

At this moment, everyone stiffened their necks, and their eyes radiated an unconvinced look.

"Boss Zeng, it's not easy to fight against an opponent like Lazio. Who doesn't want to win?"

"Yes, Boss Zeng, I don't want to lose like this."

Facing the collective "resistance" of the team members, Chi Shangbin couldn't stand it anymore and yelled:

"If I'm against it, I'll just kick it as I tell you."

"What's wrong? Do you still want to rebel?"

"This is my centenary celebration."

"You brats don't know a little bit about the world?"

"After playing football for so many years, do you still need me to teach you step by step?"

As soon as Chi Shangbin opened his mouth, everyone else fell silent.

Zeng Zheng had a gloomy look on his face, but still made arrangements for substitutions.

"Zhang Xiaorui, Sun Jihai, Yang Chen, Li Jinyu, you four will rest for the second half."

"Shao Jiayi, Xu Yunlong, Ma Mingyu, Qu Bo, you four enter."

"No matter what, this game cannot bring shame to others."

"I have a league game on weekends, but I don't even use my full strength with you."

"Just score one goal and don't really think you are a trickster."

"You should be more restrained in the second half, you know?"

"Don't get hurt!"

"Don't let the other side get hurt either!"

After making arrangements, Zeng Zheng let out a sigh of relief and leaned aside.

15 minutes passed quickly.

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again.

The national football team replaced four main players in the frontcourt, and also replaced the goal scorer and assist scorer in the first half.

Lazio introduced the recently joined Czech international Boboski, the new forward combination became Crespo and Ravanelli, and Dino Baggio also played.

As soon as the game started, Ou Chuliang once again saved the national football team.

Facing a low shot from Crespo, Ou Chuliang bravely saved it.

Not only that, before Ravanelli's follow-up shot, he quickly bounced up again and knocked the ball away from the opponent's feet, winning applause from the audience.

Because of Zeng Zheng's "explanation", the national football team's defense was ineffective, and it was basically Ou Chuliang's show.

But I don’t know whether it was Lazio’s bad luck or Ou Chuliang’s bravery.

Several consecutive shots failed to penetrate the national football gate.

Seeing Ou Chuliang's resistance, Zeng Zheng immediately ordered Gao Jianbin to go to the sidelines to warm up.

"Xiao Zeng, don't be angry. The team members are still young and don't understand the ways of the world..."

Seeing that Zeng Zheng looked unhappy, Chi Shangbin, who had just made a bad show in the locker room, came over to persuade him.

"I'm not angry with them." Zeng Zheng sighed, "I'm angry with myself."

"Angry with yourself?"

"Yes." Zeng Zheng glanced at Chi Shangbin meaningfully, "Coach Chi, I don't know when I became a coach like you!"

"Ah? This..."

Chi Shangbin clicked his tongue twice in succession.

Finally, he shook his head and said with a smile: "Okay! I'm just asking for trouble! You kid can figure it out on your own!"

Soon, Lazio scored again.

At that time, Crespo fired a right-footed volley from the front of the penalty area about 22 meters away from the goal. The ball passed through the crowd and went straight into the dead center of the goal.

3-1, Lazio once again extended its lead to two goals.

“Yo ho!

"

After scoring the goal, Crespo jumped high and embraced his teammates enthusiastically.

On the other hand, look at the national football team.

After losing the ball, everyone immediately looked to the sidelines eagerly.

Zeng Zheng's expression didn't change at all.

Everyone sighed.

Continue your "performance".

In the 13th minute of the second half, Bobosky made an attack on the left side of the national football team, and Wu Chengying was forced to foul.

Facing the three-man wall of the national football team, Ravanelli fired an extremely tricky kick.

The ball hit hard and Ou Chuliang couldn't save it. Although he touched the ball, it still bounced into the net.

4 to 1!

The score was extended to 3 goals!

"Alas, the Chinese team can't do it either!"

"Yeah, I do feel that I look down upon the Chinese team a little bit."

"That goal in the first half was indeed a mistake!"

...

Although it is a series of foreign languages.

But don’t forget Zeng Zheng’s professional background.

These miscellaneous gossips were so harsh when they reached Zeng Zheng's ears.

grass!

If I don't show off my power, you think I'm a sick cat, right?

Zeng Zheng waved his hand.

"Why are you standing still?"

"Is there something wrong with my face?"

"Attack, attack!"

attack?

Did I hear that right?!

The team members' eyes lit up and they became energetic instantly.

With Zeng Zheng's instructions, the team members completely let go.

Li Tie's continuous running first stabilized the defense, and then sent many good passes along the way, which greatly improved the frontcourt offense.

In the 53rd minute, Cotto pushed Shao Jiayi's pass out of the penalty area.

What a great Ma Mingyu, he followed up with a volley without waiting for the ball to hit the ground.

The ball drew a dazzling arc in the air and hit the net without any reaction from the Lazio goalkeeper.

“Yo ho!

"

Ma Mingyu's kick shocked everyone in the world!

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Hey, this ball is about 40 meters away from the goal, right?"

"I didn't expect that there are players in the Chinese team who can make such a big splash in the world."

"Is he also playing in Europe? Which club?"

"Just loaned to Perugia?"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, now Serie A is really playing!"

Ma Mingyu's kick is like giving the national football team a shot in the arm.

The national football team, which fell into a passive position, quickly entered counterattack mode.

In the 55th minute, Shao Jiayi, who replaced Zhang Xiaorui, was pulled down after breaking through from the left side of the penalty area, and then took a free kick with an excellent arc and placement.

Unfortunately, neither Xie Hui nor Qu Bo managed to grab the ball. After the ball fell outside the penalty area, Xu Yunlong desperately chased it and finally saved the ball in front of the sideline.

Then he quickly broke through the bottom and caused a corner kick.

This time, Xie Hui pushed the ball to the back point due to interference. General Fan followed up in the penalty area to assist and knocked the ball into the net.

3 to 4!

The Chinese team chased two goals in a row!

When the score was once again narrowed to 1 goal, Lazio also became serious.

Zuofu replaced Stankovic to strengthen the midfield attack.

In the 60th minute, Stankovic saw the opportunity and suddenly fired a long pass from 40 meters away, directly behind Li Tie and other midfielders.

Crespo had the upper hand in the fight with Zhang Minghua. Zhang Minghua pulled and pulled, but still couldn't stop Crespo from breaking into the penalty area.

After pulling him down, the Chinese team was sentenced to death.

Facing the penalty kick, Ou Chuliang, who was about to leave the field, immediately raised his hand to signal that he would save the penalty kick before leaving the field.

Zeng Zheng respected his choice.

Faced with Mancini's penalty kick to the lower right corner, Ou Chuliang made accurate judgment and miraculously saved the penalty kick.

When he was replaced later, the Italian fans present could not help but cheer for Ou Chuliang's outstanding performance.

After that, the national football team continued to attack with all their strength.

Lazio took advantage of this opportunity and made two beautiful counterattacks in a row.

Gao Jianbin, who just came on the field, made a mistake and Crespo broke through the ten-finger barrier.

The score was rewritten to 5 to 3.

But less than a minute after Lazio scored, Xu Yunlong, who was making a comeback, made a pass from the right. The Lazio defender made a clearance not far away, and the ball once again fell to the feet of General Fan who assisted.

The latter scored again and scored twice, which surprised the Chinese fans in the stands!

4 to 5!

A goal battle began.

At this time, the fans from both sides in the stands were extremely excited. They all stood up and cheered for their home team.

The consecutive goals greatly stimulated the fans' nerves.

Italian football is well defended.

Fans don't want to watch another extremely boring "1-0".

In the next 10 minutes, Zeng Zheng substituted Zhang Ran, Li Yi and Li Weifeng one after another, completely using up the eight substitution places.

Lazio also replaced Croatian veteran Mihajlovic.

As soon as Miha came on the field, he took advantage of a set kick and directly opened the door guarded by Gao Jianbin.

He is truly a free kick master!

This tricky free kick went directly to the goal. Not only did it bypass the wall in the air, it even circled outside the goalpost and then flew back.

Faced with such an exquisite free kick, Gao Lao was beyond his reach.

4 to 6!

When the game came to the last 10 minutes, the Chinese team completely started the point-chasing mode.

In the 83rd minute, Li Yi forced a breakthrough at the front of Lazio's penalty area.

However, after a successful breakthrough, the path forward was blocked by two defenders.

In desperation, Li Yi moved the ball to one side and then quickly chose to protect the ball.

While completely stuck in his position, he was pulled to the ground by his opponent.

Faced with a penalty kick, General Fan scored in one stroke and completed a hat trick.

At the same time, he helped the Chinese team score the fifth goal.

5 to 6!

The difference is only one goal!

After the game has reached this point, the fans are already excited.

In the stands, scouts and coaches from all over the country also nodded.

They gathered together in twos and threes and discussed the Chinese players who had performed well on the field.

"The guy who hasn't missed a pass since he came on the field looks pretty solid!"

"Yes, that one has just signed a contract with Brazil. If the club needs it, they can talk to Internacional about a loan."

...

"This captain is really awesome. Where does he play football?"

"Crystal Palace!"

"England? No wonder they are so strong! To be able to score a hat-trick as a defender is already amazing!"

...

"This kid looks good. His pass placement is accurate and his timing is accurate."

"He has just joined Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga. It is said that Borussia Monchengladbach is also planning to investigate him. It might be a good choice to loan him here."

...

"Why is it that everyone is on loan after asking? Isn't there anyone in the Chinese team who plays in China?"

"have!"

"which one?"

"The two goalkeepers, as well as the two full-backs, all play locally."

"Yeah, these two are not bad, we can chat after the game!"

...

There is only one last ball left and the game time has come to an end.

Chi Shangbin and others looked at each other, quickly came to Zeng Zheng, who was commanding enthusiastically, and reminded him in a low voice.

"Coach Zeng, Coach Zeng!"

"Stop shouting, stop shouting!"

"Do you still remember how we discussed it before?"

"You can't go in anymore! You can't go in anymore!"

This is a kind reminder.

Unexpectedly, Zeng Zheng, who was in command, had already forgotten the "strategy" planned by the coaching team before the game.

He flicked his arm without even turning his face.

"Don't disturb me, I'm busy!"

Who doesn’t know you are busy?!

mdWhenever a team member runs out of space, you will yell immediately.

Who can't see that you want to score another goal?

But the key is can this goal be scored?

This is Lazio’s centenary celebration!

If we score another goal, how can we explain to the organizers?

Explain?

No need to explain!

In the stands, two well-dressed Italian seniors looked at the Chinese team surrounding Lazio below and secretly shouted in their hearts, "Come on."

In Rome.

Italian fans who don't cheer for Lazio must be Roma fans.

"Qiao Yin, do you think the Chinese team can score another one?"

"I don't know! But I hope the Chinese team will score another one!"

Speaking of this, Qiao Yin laughed and said, "If the Chinese team can still score goals, when we celebrate our 100th anniversary, we will also invite the Chinese team to play a friendly match!"

In the 86th minute, Shao Jiayi dribbled the ball along the left and passed the ball forward from the baseline. Li Yi, who followed up in the middle, headed the ball directly over the baseline.

In the 89th minute, full-back Wu Chengying assisted and quickly penetrated the opponent's penalty area along the baseline and passed in front of the goal. Unfortunately, no one grabbed the first point.

In the last minute of stoppage time, Gao Jianbin made a flying dive and directly picked off Miha's shot.

Then, under Zeng Zheng's reminder, Gao Lao quickly kicked out.

At this time, all the Lazio players stayed in place to save their energy, and only three defenders participated in the return defense.

The Chinese team created a 4-on-3 situation in the frontcourt that was a godsend.

Facing fewer defenders, the national players who always dared to play tough games suddenly no longer knew how to play.

Li Yi and Qu Bo didn't run well when they crossed each other, and their runs overlapped.

In the end, Shao Jiayi, who was running for the ball, was forced into a blind corner by the opponent's defender and could only force a shot.

The ball went over the crossbar, and the referee's whistle sounded.

Beep beep, beep!

With three whistles, everyone stopped.

The players from both sides who just happened to be fighting each other took a breath first, and then looked at the people around them with a smile.

As captains on the field, Nesta and General Fan exchanged jerseys.

In addition, other team members also stood side by side and communicated in unfamiliar English and gestures.

Even Ou Chuliang, who came off the bench, received an invitation from Mancini to exchange jerseys.

Facing the football seniors, Ou Chuliang was also ecstatic and quickly handed over his jersey.

You know, Mancini was already in a semi-retired state at this time.

He has always been the number two person on Eriksson's coaching staff.

Now, with Eriksen leaving, he is also about to leave Lazio.

As for whether to retire directly or apply for a job as a coach of a certain team, he hasn't decided yet.

But Lazio, he doesn't plan to stay any longer.

In his words, "I don't want to get on a train that's already moving."

When asked why he wanted to change his jersey, Mancini smiled, shook his head and said something in simple Italian.

Under Ou Chuliang's expectant gaze, Zeng Zheng translated: "He said that you may be the last goalkeeper to save his penalty kick, and you are also an Asian player."

After hearing this, Ou Chuliang immediately opened his arms and hugged Mancini.

Many years later, it was precisely because of this jersey exchange that the two had the opportunity to cooperate after retiring.

After translating for Ou Chuliang, Zeng Zheng also came to the sidelines, stretched out his hand and shook Zuo Fu's hand.

"Zeng, this is really a wonderful game."

"Yeah, we almost won."

Zuo Fu was stunned when he heard Zeng Zheng's answer.

It's obviously 5-6, but you're still one goal behind. It's not even a draw. How can you say you've won?

However, Zuo Fu showed a helpless smile, and then let out a long sigh.

"Yeah, you almost won."
