World Cup of Great Powers

Zheng Zhihe Mad Dog

Li Jinyu's goal late in the first half brought a glimmer of hope to Chinese fans.

During the halftime break, thousands of Chinese fans in the stands were talking a lot.

Can the Chinese team tie the score in the second half?

Will France still score?

Who among China and France will advance to this Confederations Cup?

Will Zeng Zheng still perform magic?

It’s not like the Chinese team has never defeated a strong European team in history.

But the problem is that those games were friendly matches and had no practical nature.

In recent years, the only time we have met a strong team like France in the main game was in the 2000 Olympic Games.

But the Olympics is for U23, not the national team.

An Olympic bronze medal doesn't mean anything.

Even in the eyes of fans, this Olympic bronze medal is not as good as the World Cup top 16 that Zeng Zheng led.

When football rises to the national level, it is very difficult to move forward.

Because most of the players have already developed and stabilized, there will no longer be any "increased goals" for young people.

Injuries, status and other reasons will also plague the team.

Coupled with the pursuit of results in various countries, coaches have been changed batch after batch.

As soon as the players and the coach had a tacit understanding and understood his tactical arrangements, the coach changed.

For such a team, it is very difficult to maintain the current technical and tactical level, let alone improve its combat effectiveness.

In this case, whether the World Cup champion or the European Championship champion is the best team on the planet!

Don't look at the fact that the Chinese team is currently ranked in the dozen or so in the world.

This just takes up the spotlight in the Asian division.

If it were placed in the European Division, it might not even be ranked thirty!

To sum up, the strength of the French team lies in its overall strength.

It is not something that Zeng Zheng alone can change.

After reaching such a consensus.

In addition to the Chinese fans who still have "fantasies" in the stands, spies from other countries have already anticipated the outcome of the Chinese team.

"In my opinion, the Chinese team may score more goals in the second half, but only within the limits allowed by the French team. In other words, the French team will score more," Jason said.

"If I were the coach of the Chinese team, how do I keep the score and prevent the French team from scoring goals in the second half? This is the key." Blazevic also gave a plan.

"I hope that when the defeat of the Chinese team is certain, the coach will send more potential players to play and perform. After all, there are not many opportunities to play against the world champion." Scouts from various countries also expressed their true thoughts.

In fact, the fact that the national football team can play against the French team is also due to the glory of this Confederations Cup.

If there is only one host country, then fine, the opening ceremony will be the match between the host country and the World Cup champion.

But it’s still the same problem.

There are two hosts.

Everyone wants to compete with the World Cup champion.

Two dogs fight, play off.

The Chinese team is the fisherman!

Even in the eyes of some Asian opponents, the Chinese team can compete with the French team in a real battle.

This Confederations Cup is not in vain!

15 minutes passed quickly, and the players from both sides returned to the court.

Le Maire could tell at a glance that Zeng Zheng had changed to a defensive midfielder.

"In the second half, we change sides and fight again."

"Coach Zeng replaced Zhang Ran and replaced him with the younger Zheng Zhi."

"This is a bold substitution."

"Zhang Ran and Li Tie, as the captain and deputy captain of Jianlibao, have been partners for a very long time."

"Coach Zeng would rather break up the defensive midfielder pairing than replace Zheng Zhi."

"There must be some considerations on his part."

"The youngster Zheng Zhi is currently playing for PSV Eindhoven in the Eredivisie. He has played several times last season and scored a goal against Groningen."

"Generally speaking, Zheng Zhi is a defensive player."

"At PSV, his position was as a central midfielder."

"Coach Zeng replaced him. I don't know if he took a fancy to his offensive ability."

"Let us wait and see whether there will be any new changes in the Chinese team after this young player comes on the field."

After the start of the second half, the well-rested French team once again focused on tearing apart the Chinese team's defense with passing and running moves.

A one-goal advantage is never guaranteed.

For the world champion, no matter what, you have to lead by a few more goals.

"No matter how good the Chinese team is, can they still beat Portugal?"

Seeing the French team's aggressive attack, the scouts became serious.

Developing Chinese players is gold mining, while buying and selling French players is a sure profit!

In the 47th minute, the French team started to attack again.

Vieira's strong body was like a bulldozer, squeezing Zhang Xiaorui and Li Jinyu away.

Seeing this, Li Tie quickly stepped forward to cover the position, but Vieira didn't want to show off his footwork and directly passed the ball to Camille.

When he passed the ball, Li Jinyu and Zhang Xiaorui were not in position yet.

Judging from the scene, Vieira attracted the defense of three players at this moment.

After Camille gets the ball, he only needs to move the ball away, and the French player who gets the ball on the other side will get a rare offensive gap.

Can he pass it on?

The answer is: NO!

There was no problem with Vieira's pass.

But before Camie could catch the ball, he was knocked out.

It's better to say it's a push than a collision.

Zheng Zhi thought that his little moves were well hidden, but there was no way he could escape the referee's eyes.

But the problem is that pushing people doesn't necessarily sound the whistle.

Just like that, Camille and Vieira's passes missed each other.

The ball missed and was intercepted by Wu Chengying.

The moment she got the ball, Wu Chengying looked up and forward, looking for teammates who could respond.

Li Jinyu and Zhang Xiaorui, who had been chasing back and defending just now, saw this and immediately turned around and ran towards the front court in large strides.

is an opportunity!

As the left back, Wu Chengying didn't have time to think so much. He took a step forward and kicked the ball directly into the vacuum area in front of Li Jinyu.

collapse!

Wu Chengying's kick was a little low, but Vieira, who was chasing after him, stopped it with his head.

After stealing the ball again, he directly takes off.

This time, he directly chose to kick the ball to the front of the Chinese team's penalty area.

Continuous transitions between offense and defense test the players' concentration and willpower on the court.

Before the top of the arc, Du Jiali caught the ball with Zhang Minghua's chest and passed the ball to Malai who rushed up in front of him.

After getting the ball, the latter made a fake shot. Seeing that General Fan could not get away, he decisively moved the ball horizontally with his right foot!

Passed to Camille again!

Worthy of being a French player!

During the fake shot, you can also see the movement of your teammates with your peripheral vision.

This time, Camille caught the ball.

But he could no longer take a step forward.

At this moment, all I can see is France's No. 10 jersey like a stretched-out parasol.

Under Zheng Zhi's tug, Camie's body fell back involuntarily as soon as her toes stopped the ball.

Taking this opportunity, he kicked Zheng Zhi hard.

Sun Jihai, who was on the wing, jumped back a step before taking off all the force of the ball bouncing on his instep.

"Xiao Zhi, your defense is good!" General Fan extended a thumb towards Zheng Zhi.

He didn't pay any attention to Camille who almost fell down.

"Slow down! Slow down!"

"Come back and catch the ball!"

"Pull over!"

Zeng Zheng loudly ordered the players from the sidelines.

The score is now behind.

Cherish every ball possession and every offensive opportunity.

But the French team obviously intends to widen the point difference first.

Zhang Xiaorui and Li Jinyu were both surrounded by a defensive player.

Seeing that Sun Jihai, who was dribbling the ball, was about to be forced to stop, Zhang Xiaorui turned his head left and right to look around, ran towards Sun Jihai, pointed at his feet and shouted: "Give it to me, give it to me!"

Sun Jihai did not hesitate and kicked the ball directly towards Zhang Xiaorui.

Facing the incoming ball, Zhang Xiaorui first glanced at Djorkaeff beside him.

Then before catching the ball, he aimed his back at the opponent.

The moment he grabbed the ball from the opponent, Zhang Xiaorui let the ball roll past him on one side of his body.

At the same time, knock the ball behind your foot with your right heel.

While avoiding Djorkaeff, he twisted his body and turned around to catch up with the ball that he knocked away.

A simple turn around to avoid the French midfielder's pressing.

Facing Vieira who stepped forward, Zhang Xiaorui, who was coming forward, pulled the ball back with his right foot before the two collided.

On the next move, the right foot that pulled the ball back suddenly moved forward to the right.

Using a change of pace, he successfully passed the French midfielder.

"Wow! This Chinese team member controls the ball really well!"

"Although he looks black on the outside, I didn't expect him to be so good on his feet."

"With such a strong sense of rhythm and adaptability, how many players like this do the Chinese team have?"

Just as the scouts were sighing, Vieira, who had been shaken away, turned around and imitated Zheng Zhi before and grabbed Zhang Xiaorui's jersey.

Zheng Zhila Camie did not blow the ball, and Vieira and Zhang Xiaorui naturally did not blow the whistle this time.

Poor Zhang Xiaorui.

He calculated everything well.

But he underestimated the strength of Vieira's arm.

The moment his clothes were stretched to the maximum, his body trembled, and he also lost possession of the ball.

Desailly, who rushed forward to steal the ball, did not make the slightest adjustment, and directly passed the ball through the ball, finding Camille who had already advanced forward.

The latter chased the ball forward and moved the outside of his right foot to the outside. To catch up with the ball, he had to follow up with a long shot.

boom!!!

There was a muffled sound in front of the gourd in the penalty area of ​​the Chinese team.

Zheng Zhi, who fell to the ground in time to make a sliding tackle, used his lower back to block Camille's long shot.

"grass!"

Camille swore a French curse.

Don't let me catch the ball, don't let me break through, and you won't let me take a long shot?

At this point in the game, the fans and scouts have also noticed it.

Zheng Zhi is just like a piece of brown candy.

She was firmly arranged by Zeng Zheng to stay with Camille.

As long as the other country is half-time, Zheng Zhi will stick to it like a tarsal bone.

In this way, the Chinese team's formation becomes "4122 1".

Zhang Xiaorui and Li Jinyu still play as attacking midfielders, while Li Tie plays as a single defensive midfielder.

Zheng Zhi plays as a free midfielder.

Wherever Camille ran, he followed.

"The Chinese team is so shameless, this is a children's game!"

In the stands, a blond foreigner commented, "Using a stalking and man-marking tactic to target the opponent's star players is a tactic only used by low-level teams!"

What this foreigner said is right.

Private amateur teams can see this happening.

Because there are only one or two players in a team who can play.

Therefore, as long as one or two of them can play well, the opponent's combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced.

To put it bluntly, there is a hint of Tian Ji’s horse racing in it.

But this is the Confederations Cup!

The opponent is the French team!

Let’s not talk about whether Zeng Zheng’s “dog skin plaster” tactics will work.

So what does it matter if it really works?

The French team is missing one Camille, and the Chinese team is missing one Zheng Zhi.

Can't the 10-man French team beat the 10-man Chinese team?

You can definitely win!

So after seeing that Zeng Zheng actually used this "cheap" trick, Flamel didn't take it to heart.

On the contrary, just because of this tactic, Zeng Zheng's image in his heart plummeted.

"snort!"

"The best coach in Asia and the most popular coach among the younger generation in world football!"

"It's nothing more than that!"

Flamel did not take this matter to heart.

But Camille felt terribly uncomfortable.

In a short time, Camille was stepped on three times, knocked over five times, and pulled and pulled countless times by Zheng Zhi.

The most disgusting thing is that these violations only resulted in two whistles, and the referee awarded a harmless free kick.

After playing for more than ten minutes, Camille was about to explode!

In terms of technical level, he is definitely above Zheng Zhi;

In terms of fouling skills and thick skin, he is not one ten thousandth as good as Zheng Zhi.

This time, when Camille was knocked to the ground from the side again by Zheng Zhi, he did not get up as quickly as before.

Instead, he just lay down on the ground and pretended to be dead.

But in the opinion of the referee, this was just a common collision.

The two were competing for another half of the ball.

So I didn't pay attention to it.

A dramatic scene occurred.

After Zheng Zhi got up, he just wanted to run to the frontcourt to meet his teammates.

Zeng Zheng's shout came to my ears.

Zheng Zhi was stunned for a moment, then stepped forward and bent down to hold Camille's shoulders.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The linesman and the referee didn't care whether they saw it or not, they dragged him directly out of the field.

ah???

Seeing Zheng Zhi's move, the fans at the scene were stunned.

However, the next second, something even more surprising happened to them.

Camie was lying on the ground and collapsed just now.

After discovering that he was dragged off the field, he instantly regained his energy, twisted around, and actually sat up from the ground.

ah?

ah?

ah?

The fans were completely confused.

Aren't you injured?

How did you recover instantly?

Camille sat up and cursed loudly at Zheng Zhi's back without caring about anything else.

Although he doesn't understand French, everyone knows that he must have greeted all eighteen generations of Zheng Zhi's ancestors at this moment.

"Don't leave him, he can't do anything to you!"

Under Zeng Zheng's order, Zheng Zhi ran away all the way.

Camille was helpless.

Finally, I straightened my socks and got up from the ground.

Soon, fans gradually discovered.

The French team's offense is not working!

In the first half, the unfailing pass-and-receive coordination failed, and there were more and more fouls and individual performances.

Zheng Zhi's movements were a bit big and his kicks were a bit ugly.

But do you have to pass the ball to Camille?

The Chinese team is already at a disadvantage, so it makes sense for them to make bigger moves!

The most important thing is that your French team has substituted two players in a row.

Why hasn't Mao changed Camille?

Do we have to keep him on the court?

The Chinese team clearly wants to see you die.

They even specially assigned a team member to press him at halftime.

Camille has already scored a goal, is that enough?!

Wouldn't it be better to replace him?

not good!

Of course Le Maire will not replace him.

Just like what Zeng Zheng said before the game.

The French team not only wants to train its troops, but also wants to train a Zidane II.

As the successor of Zidane in the media's mouth, Le Maire must not accept Camille's performance!

In his opinion, if Camille can't even bear this pressure.

Then why talk about Zidane II?

Why else wear France number 10?

Go home and farm as soon as possible!

But he forgot.

This team is not the real French team, and Camille is not Zidane.

After discovering that Camille was specifically targeted by the Chinese team, other French players stopped passing the ball to him.

In the next more than 20 minutes, Camille participated in 5 attacks by the French team, but did not touch the ball.

In the end, even a fool can see it.

Camille was completely isolated.

In the 77th minute, Le Maire, who advocates offense, made his third substitution card.

Replaced Djorkaeff with Pires.

The French team's tactics highlight the role of stars, but also emphasize overall coordination.

The Platini era had the "Iron Triangle", and the Zidane era also had the central axis of Blanc, Deschamps and Zidane.

Nowadays, Desailly, Vieira and Pires, the three Frenchmen playing in London, form the new central axis of the French team.

Desailly became more responsible after becoming captain;

The former Senegalese brat Vieira was good at attacking and defending, and was regarded as the next captain of France and Arsenal;

Pires, who also played for Arsenal, became a hero in the European Cup final.

Now that Le Maire has replaced him, it seems that he still wants to score another goal for the Chinese team before the end.

Seeing this, Zeng Zheng also played the last substitution card.

Forward Xie Hui was replaced by Xiao Wang Tao, the tallest player in the team.

You want to score, I still want to score!

As a result, in the final minutes of the game, the Chinese team actually started a confrontation with its opponent.

In the 79th minute, Pires went straight in from the right and dribbled the ball into the penalty area.

Li Tie came over from the side and blocked the passing angle, forcing Pires to take a shot.

In this case, Ou Chuliang successfully blocked the ball.

In the 81st minute, Zhang Xiaorui used a Cruyff spin to deceive his opponent in front of the top of the arc.

Then he switched to his left foot to take the ball and pass.

Xiao Wang Tao took advantage of his height to hit the first point in the penalty area.

But then the ball was caught by Lame, who was highly focused.

In the 82nd minute, the French team's fast break reached the top of the Chinese team's penalty area.

Li Weifeng, who replaced Zhang Minghua, pulled down Wiltor, who replaced Du Jiali.

Three French players stand in front of the ball.

As the first assist player, Camie kicked the ball directly towards the Chinese team's gate.

But it's outrageous.

84th minute.

The Chinese team once again passed the right corridor and delivered the ball to Zhang Xiaorui's feet.

After Sun Jihai passed the last ball, he was directly knocked out of the sideline by Lizarazu.

Zhang Xiaorui pulled and stepped, facing the opponent's tough defense and also created a free kick for the Chinese team.

This time Li Jinyu did not perform a miracle.

His free kick hit the wall directly, causing a sigh from the stands.

In the 85th minute, Vieira personally took the ball to a place about 30 meters away from the Chinese team's goal, and suddenly hit the ball with a kick.

Ou Chuliang jumped high, but his fingers did not touch the ball that was over the crossbar.

Then the Chinese team took a goal kick, and Xiao Wang Tao used his height advantage to hit the first point.

Li Tie and Zheng Zhi intervened and played a one-two. After receiving the pass from their teammate, Zheng Zhi dribbled the ball forward.

At this time, Zheng Zhi was like a wild dog that had run loose, rushing into the pack of wolves.

Pires came over and scratched his left wrist;

Vieira also came over and bit him on his right arm.

After stumbling past two opponent's defenders, Zheng Zhi had already lost his center of gravity.

After the final step into the opponent's penalty area, everyone thought he was going to pass or shoot.

However, the next second, Zheng Zhi stepped on the ball and stopped it in place.

Then, his body rushed out due to inertia.

He just happened to run into the arms of Sylvester who was guarding him.

In this way, with the help of the other party's body, Zheng Zhi managed to stand firm.

He stretched out his hands and straightened his waist again.

Faced with such a desperate Zheng Zhi, Sylvester had no choice.

He wanted to pull his opponent aside.

But Zheng Zhi's whole body rushed forward.

How could he have so much power?

After straightening up, Zheng Zhi immediately took a step back and pushed the ball towards the top of the gourd.

The French defender who was retreating was stunned and hurriedly rushed outside the penalty area.

At the same time, Zhang Xiaorui, who was in front of the top of the arc, was already facing the ball and swinging his legs.

"Don't let him cum!"

Not only Le Maire, but other members of the French team were also shouting.

Vieira, Camille and Marais, three French players swooped forward and tried to block the ball with their bodies.

However, the next second, Zhang Xiaorui's foot that touched the ball did not pull the ball out.

The back of his feet tensed and his toes lifted.

Zheng Zhi's return pass went directly over the heads of three French players.

At the same time, Xiao Wang Tao, who was already standing at the penalty spot, blocked Desailly behind him.

With his back to the goal, he tipped his toes and flicked his header.

Bo~~~

The ball was instantly thrown to the other side.

Looking at the ball in front of him, General Fan, who rushed to the back post, could not care about anything else.

Straighten your waist and use your lower abdomen to place the ball on your waist.

Then he raised his right leg and directly used his knee to push the ball into the French team's goal.

"Zhang Xiaorui picked the ball..."

"Xiao Wang Tao's header flies..."

"General Fan, stop..."

"shoot!!!"

"The ball goes in blah blah blah!!!"

I waited for more than 40 minutes in the second half and held it in for more than 40 minutes.

Huang Jianxiang finally shouted out this tone.

"3 to 3!"

"General Fan!"

"The Chinese team equalized the score at the last moment of the game!"
