World Cup of Great Powers

The Chinese team scored!

The Chinese team equalized the score!

Thousands of fans in the stands began to cheer.

The impression of the Chinese team in the minds of the world has gradually changed.

In this level of competition, it is normal for the French team to score goals and it is normal for the Chinese team to fall behind.

Even when the French team was leading by a big score, it was normal for the Chinese team to score.

But not long after the French team scored, the Chinese team immediately recovered a goal and tied the score.

This is not normal!

Everyone knows it.

Being able to reach the finals does not mean that the two teams participating in the finals are equal in strength.

This is most likely the result of a team's hard work, countless red and yellow cards, and countless player injuries.

The other team, on the other hand, entered the finals without even breaking a sweat.

In this way, when the two teams meet in the final, it is clear at a glance which one is better.

So for a lot of teams.

The championship is actually not that important.

Being able to reach the finals is already gratifying.

In today's final, the Chinese and French teams obviously meet the above description in people's perception.

The world champion is in full glory, passing through all the obstacles and reaching the final;

The Chinese team fought bravely and used their last strength to get here.

Then the two sides played a game in front of the world, which was regarded as "giving everyone an explanation".

Then the Chinese team ended in tears, and the French team won the championship trophy.

This ending is in line with the script in the fans' minds.

But what about actually?

The two teams have already met once in the group stage.

The game ended up tied 3-3.

Both sides have the ability to break through the other's defense, and neither can do anything to defeat the other.

Now, the Chinese and French teams meet again in the final.

Fans naturally believe that the world champion will not take it lightly again when facing his former opponents.

Maybe the game will be over after 45 minutes of the first half.

But the game lasted an hour, and the situation on the court was far beyond people's expectations.

Looking at the score of 1 to 1.

People can't help but start thinking.

Is the world champion French team too weak?

Or is the Asian champion Chinese team too strong?

In the stands, the South Korean fans who had not yet finished their singing were gritting their teeth and looking at the stadium with ferocious expressions.

They wished that Wiltord would break through the gate guarded by Ou Chuliang at the kick-off.

Unfortunately, reality will not go as they wish.

After the restart, the French team was obviously much more cautious.

They were a little confused about the Chinese team's routines.

And they didn't react much to the ball they just lost.

Why did everyone's brains short-circuit at that moment and no one jumped up?

When thinking about this problem, all the players involved in the defense in the small penalty area couldn't help but ask themselves a question.

If I had really jumped at that time, would it have changed the result?

The answer is no.

Shao Jiayi's ball landed on Yang Chen's head almost accurately.

Yang Chen, who was stuck by Desailly, barely jumped up.

With a tilt of his head, he hit the ball into the net.

In front of Yang Chen, there were actually no defensive players.

In other words, even if the ball jumps, it will be in vain.

Then why dance?

But no one jumped, so things became weird.

Some serious people are even speculating whether the French players had received word from the gambling company in advance that they wanted to miss such a goal for the Chinese team.

Could it be that the handicap was 2 to 1?

These gamblers can't help but have wild imaginations.

After the French players fell down continuously in the midfield and backcourt for two or three minutes.

Seeing that the players were not interested and had little chance to open up the offensive channel, Le Maire decisively chose to make substitutions.

In the 64th minute of the game, the French team took the lead in making substitutions.

Djorkaeff, who plays for Kaiserslautern, was replaced and replaced by Sagnol, who plays for Bayern.

Sagnol plays right back at Bayern, but he is also good at right midfielder.

The purpose of replacing such a player who is both offensive and defensive and plays for the Bundesliga South King is to reinforce the team's offense and at the same time have a player who is familiar with the Bundesliga to watch Yang Chen.

After the new players came on the field, they immediately gave the French team's midfield a shot in the arm.

The French team began to calm down and resume the attack.

No matter how fast the Chinese team improves.

Let’s win this game steadily first!

In the 66th minute, Anelka made a diagonal breakthrough and forced his way into the penalty area from Sun Jihai's side.

Facing Ou Chuliang at the near post, Anelka fired a shot, but Ou Chuliang blocked the ball from in front of him and hit the crossbar.

One minute later, the French team's offensive resumed.

This time, Vieira still rushed to the frontcourt and acted as a support point.

After passing the ball to the other side, Malai strode into the penalty area with the ball and then fell to the ground.

For a moment, players from both sides raised their hands and surrounded the referee.

After the referee's decision, no corner kick was awarded in the end, and the Chinese team escaped.

In the 71st minute, the Chinese team's offensive quality was not high.

Wu Chengying's long pass passed directly to Vieira's feet.

The latter used his chest to block the ball from the backcourt to Pires, who took a step forward with the ball and then sent a clever through ball.

The horse stops the ball with his back to the center line.

Seeing the opponent stop the ball, General Fan and Zhang Minghua, who wanted to make up for it, also immediately stopped behind the center line.

At the same time, Ma Lai looked up and looked at the other side, and then quickly sent a long diagonal ball through the ball.

Zhang Minghua, who had just stopped suddenly, saw this, turned around quickly, and chased the ball in the air in a panic.

At the same time, Wiltord advanced at high speed and rushed through the midfielder from the other side of the pitch.

Zheng Zhi, who was following him, was still five or six meters away from him now!

This is not a distance that can be caught up at all!

"Oh oh!"

"The French team has another chance."

"Look at Wiltord..."

In front of the penalty area, Wiltord used his knee to hit the ball that bounced off the ground.

When he touched the ball for the second time, he had already rushed into the Chinese team's penalty area.

Seeing Wiltord take off his feet, Zhang Minghua rushed to his side without hesitation and directly shot his body out.

Wiltord's left foot hit the ball hard.

After the ball was kicked out, he was tackled to the ground by Zhang Minghua.

Whoosh!

The ball passed under Ou Chuliang's arm and entered the net.

The French team's two shots were of extremely high quality.

Although Ou Chuliang responded, he was unable to do anything about the save.

"Wow!

"

Huang Jianxiang's voice dropped to his throat.

This ball is too scary!

Is this the shot the world champion team kicked?

It’s impossible to guard against it!

"France scores again."

"It was Wiltord who scored the goal."

"1 to 2."

"The Chinese team is temporarily behind by one goal."

"We can see that this ball was actually a positioning error by the two central defenders of the Chinese team who were holding the ball at the end."

"At the moment before Malai passed the ball, General Fan and Zhang Minghua stood too close."

"It created a gap on the other side of the court."

"The French team took advantage of this gap to pass a through ball, and then formed a one-on-one shot."

"In the end, Zhang Minghua's shoveling failed to make a comeback."

"Wiltord kicked a shot of extremely high quality."

"Ou Chuliang is beyond reach..."

Seeing that the Chinese team lost the ball again, the South Korean fans in the stands immediately cheered.

Le Maire was celebrating excitedly on the sidelines.

Suddenly I heard a shout from the stands behind me.

Looking back, a large number of South Korean fans stood up, waved their arms at them, and yelled crazily.

"Yo, yo, France, come on, Smecta!"

"The French team is so awesome!"

"Kill the Chinese team Smecta!"

The overwhelming comments made Flamel a little unhappy.

"What's going on with these Chinese fans?"

Our French team traveled thousands of miles to compete in Asia.

You have to abide by some court rules to a certain extent, right?

Didn’t we just score a goal?

Is there any need to provoke us with such a ferocious expression?

What's so great about the Chinese team?

Isn’t he the Asian champion?

threaten?

snort!

I'm never afraid of threats?

After shouting at Le Maire for a while, the South Korean fans started singing loudly again.

From the perspective of the French team, it is the turn of the "second batch" of Chinese fans to start working.

"Oh?"

"The Chinese team has made a substitution!"

Before kick-off, the fourth official held up a sign on the sidelines.

Taking advantage of the French players' celebration time, Zeng Zheng also played the first substitution card.

"Well?"

"Replaced Zhang Xiaorui with Zhang Ran?"

Seeing Zeng Zheng's substitution arrangement, Huang Jianxiang and Zhang Hehe looked at each other, somewhat confused.

"Zhang Xiaorui wasn't injured either!"

Huang Jianxiang cooed.

Look at Zhang Xiaorui's running posture at the end.

Apart from some wheezing, I really can't see any skin injuries.

It's not an injury, but a bad condition?

The performance in the first half was pretty good too!

So why replace him?

Not only Huang Jianxiang and Zhang Hehe, but also the fans at the scene, the scouts in the stands, and even the coaching staff of the French team did not understand Zeng Zheng's substitution arrangement.

It is obvious that Zhang Xiaorui is the core of the team's offense.

Most of the offensive balls will come to Zhang Xiaorui's feet, and he will control the ball and then launch the attack.

Zhang Ran is just a decent defensive midfielder.

Although he also has certain offensive organizational skills, in most cases, his steady style of play is more focused on defense and passing and receiving with a focus on preservation.

Now that the Chinese team is lagging behind, it is the time to open up channels and create goals.

At this juncture, the organization's attacking midfielder is replaced by a defensive midfielder.

What does Zeng Zheng want to do?

After the Chinese team made a substitution, the camera also gave a close-up of Zeng Zheng.

Because of his sunglasses, no one could see his thoughts from his expression.

Even Flamel couldn't help but sigh.

After returning to China this time, should I buy a pair of sunglasses to wear?

Although Chi Shangbin, Jin Zhiyang, Shen Xiangfu and others have this coaching certificate hanging on their necks.

But his appearance on the sidelines is more like a handyman.

From their expressions and body parts, there is no information about the substitutions of the Chinese team at all.

In desperation, it's worth waiting and watching.

Let’s see what changes will happen to the Chinese team after this substitution.

Just as those who “understand football” expected.

As soon as Zhang Xiaorui came off the field, the Chinese team's offense began to suffer greatly.

First of all, Zhang Ran's position is a bit far back, which is not a place where Zhang Xiaorui often moves.

Next, more offensive balls were delivered to Shao Jia.

This young player is obviously not as experienced as Zhang Xiaorui in handling the ball.

Either pass back, or forcefully use your body to protect the ball until the ball is lost.

After several consecutive balls were not passed, the fans couldn't help but start to scream again.

“Coach Zeng didn’t understand this move!”

"I guess it's a combo move, with a follow-up."

"Looking at it this way, Shao Jiayi may be replaced later!"

Amidst the cheers from the fans, sure enough, Zeng Zheng played the second substitution card.

However, it was not Shao Jiayi who was replaced this time, but Li Jinyushi. The fans did not understand again.

"Isn't Dayu playing as a shadow striker today?"

"Why did Coach Zeng replace him?"

"Are we going to change our tactics?"

Since the Chinese team announced its lineup, Li Jinyu's playing position has been the focus of discussion among fans.

In everyone's opinion, Li Jinyu is Zeng Zheng's "surprise soldier" today, specially used to deal with the French team.

He was replaced before the game was over.

Fans really don't understand this kind of operation.

"Dayu, how are you? How do you feel?"

Different from Zhang Xiaorui.

When Li Jinyu came off the field, his legs were almost completely weak and his forehead was covered with sweat.

Facing Zeng Zheng's ridicule, Li Jinyu didn't even have the energy to respond.

He rolled his eyes at Zeng Zheng.

His body tilted and he fell sideways on the bench.

He looked exhausted.

Zeng Zheng nodded to Li Jinyu's physical condition.

The physical fitness of the players produced by Jianlibao and itself is not too bad.

What's more, Li Jinyu has played in Serie A for so long, and his physical reserves have at least matched the Serie A level.

"Dayu, this kid is not in good physical condition. Why is he so tired?"

"I remember this kid was in pretty good shape before. Did he do something bad last night?"

"No way! This is the Confederations Cup final, he still dares to desert?"

Ignoring the whispers of several assistant coaches, Li Jinyu took the mineral water handed over by Han Tao and drank it in big gulps.

"Dayu, how are you?"

Seeing that Li Jinyu was almost drunk, Han Tao walked over and asked.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk... Look, we are really good!" Li Jinyu wiped his mouth, "Only a strong team like the French team can make Boss Zeng use such a damaging move!"

Since defeating all the invincible opponents in Asia, Zeng Zheng has indeed rarely used routines to specifically break down a certain line of defense of the opponent at the cost of burning a certain team member's physical energy.

Li Jinyu's role today is to use his deft movement as much as possible to consume the opponent's defenders' physical energy and interfere with their concentration.

Now Li Jinyu's physical strength is exhausted, but the French team's defense is still unshakable.

Judging from the score, Li Jinyu's "self-sacrifice" does not seem to have a big effect.

Whether it is Desailly or the veteran Lizarazu, they are still in normal condition in terms of defensive positioning and judgment of the timing of the kick.

"Dayu, do you think Chief Zeng's plan failed?"

Hearing Han Tao's question, Li Jinyu rolled his eyes.

"Taozi, thank you for staying with Mr. Zeng the longest!"

"When did his tactics fail?"
