World Cup of Great Powers

The French team is clearly starting to work hard.

There were about fifteen minutes left in the game, but the score was tied at 2-2.

Through these two matches, Le Maire and the French team have become very aware of the tenacity of the Chinese team.

If the battle cannot be resolved in these 15 minutes, then the subsequent overtime and penalty shootout will be detrimental to the French team coming from afar.

What's more, the French team has to play overtime when playing against an Asian team?

Shouldn't this be laughed at by others if it spreads out?

Under the command of Le Maire, the French players on the court began to increase their offensive intensity.

Every pass they make and every move they make becomes extremely purposeful!

That's a goal!

As a result, the Chinese team's defense faced a huge test.

When defending, except for Xie Hui, almost everyone in the front retreated to their own half.

Not only that, Le Maire also replaced the exhausted Pires and replaced him with Dacote who played for Leeds United.

The third substitution quota was used up earlier than the Chinese team.

As a result, the French team's offense became even more fierce.

In the 78th minute, Anelka successfully countered offside, received Vieira's pass and broke into the right side of the penalty area, then dunked past the defender and hit the middle.

Malai followed up with a powerful shot, but Ou Chuliang blocked it.

Then Wiltord got the ball from the edge of the penalty area and hit the far corner. The ball was slightly higher.

In the 80th minute, Duckett found a gap on the left and passed the ball to Malai, but General Fan, who returned to defense, tackled it in time and the goalkeeper blocked the ball from the baseline.

Then the French team quickly took a tactical corner kick, but the final pass was pushed out by the defender.

In the 83rd minute, Anelka passed the ball to the substitute Dakot on the left. Dakot passed a rather tricky curve ball. General Fan and Zhang Minghua worked together to beat the opponent's forward before he broke the ball.

Rescue.

Although the French team's offensive became fiercer, the sharp-eyed Huang Jianxiang saw a slight difference in the Chinese team.

"Director Zhang."

"Do you see any difference in the formation and positioning of the Chinese team when they attack?!"

different?

Zhang Hehe didn't react when he heard this question for the first time.

At this moment, Zhang Ran made a long pass and found Yang Chen who was running in front.

After Yang Chen stopped the ball and passed it to Shao Jiayi who was next to him, he quickly rushed towards the French team's penalty area.

As he switched from defense to offense, the camera lens zoomed in, and the situation on the field immediately became clear.

Ah, this is...

Looking at the line of three people in front of the Chinese team, Zhang Hehe opened his eyes wide.

"When did the Chinese team become 433?"

"Director Zhang, have you noticed it too?"

"Shao Jiayi's position is too forward and he doesn't look like a midfielder at all."

Although the Chinese team did not shoot in these few minutes, every time they attacked, Shao Jiayi would unconsciously mention the parallel line formed by Yang Chen and Xie Hui.

After several consecutive attacks in the penalty area, Huang Jianxiang's speculation arose.

Since Zhang Xiaorui was substituted, the Chinese team has almost given up on the midfield.

Its offense is all through long passes from the backcourt, directly finding the forward in front.

The advantage of this is that it is simple and violent, saves physical energy, and has a clear purpose.

But if there are only Yang Chen and Xie Hui in front, even if the ball is passed in place, it will be difficult to continue to organize the offense.

But now that there is Shao Jiayi, everything is different.

The joining of Shao Jiayi is not a simple matter of 2 1 = 3.

Whether he is sprinting, running, controlling the ball, passing, or even shooting, he is a good player.

Seeing this, fans couldn't help but ask: "Will Shao Jiayi still play forward?"

But Huang Jianxiang grasped the key.

Now the Chinese team's forward line, including Shao Jiayi, are all players playing in the Bundesliga!

In other words, what Zeng Zheng showed in the second half was not the "Twin Towers of the Bundesliga", but the "Three Musketeers of the Bundesliga"!

The three people's full counterattack made the French team's defense very embarrassed.

In the end, it wasn't until Lamei flew sideways that he neutralized Yang Chen's powerful shot.

That is to say.

In addition to scoring a goal, the Chinese team's counterattack was successful this time!

"No wonder Coach Zeng replaced Zhang Ran."

Huang Jianxiang nodded.

"Coach Zeng replaced Zhang Ran to defend."

"Because we are playing long-pass counterattacks."

"So we don't need more time on the ground."

"As long as we add one more forward in front, our offensive power will be very different from before."

"Wonderful, really wonderful!"

"Avoid the sharp edges and attack the unprepared ones."

“Coach Zeng’s trick of using retreat to advance is really wonderful!”

At the same time, football practitioners around the world who are paying attention to this game have also seen the clues.

Especially those who are coaches.

At this moment, he was even more applauded by Zeng Zheng's actions.

When Zhang Xiaorui was on the court, the Chinese team's tactic was to compete with the French team for midfield.

But the results were all unsatisfactory.

Both goals were scored by the French team.

If the game continues like this, the French team will most likely score the third goal.

With the experience in the group stage, the French team will never concede a careless goal again in the remaining time of the game.

As a result, Zeng Zheng simply gave up the midfield, a battleground area for military strategists.

Choose to add one more striker, directly cross the midfield, and play long passes.

Although the attack success rate is greatly reduced when fighting this way.

But once an attack is formed, it is very likely to result in a shot and pose a threat to the French team's goal.

Just like just now.

Viewed from a high altitude, when the Chinese team counterattacks, the French team is behind 4 to 3, and at least one defender is 1 to 1;

Before Zeng Zheng changed his formation, he defended 4 against 2, with two against one.

In such a comparison, it’s no wonder that the French team’s defense does not have much pressure!

After Flamel realized Zeng Zheng's intentions, it was too late.

He could only worry on the sidelines and urge the players to score a goal quickly.

But the more anxious the French team became, the calmer Zeng Zheng became.

In the 85th minute, Zeng Zheng made a substitution, disrupting the French team's offensive rhythm.

Li Tie, who worked hard, was replaced by Zhao Junzhe.

As a result, the Chinese team's three defensive midfielders all have superhuman ball-playing abilities.

In order to quickly resolve the battle within the normal time, Vieira personally launched a wave of offensive.

After Anelka got the ball, he passed it to Malay, but the latter responded too late in the penalty area and failed to use his strength.

Ou Chuliang gave up the goal in time and got the ball.

One minute later, Dacote passed the ball from the right. Vieira and Anelka cooperated and then passed the ball back to the right. Wiltord pushed the ball hastily from the wing and missed the ball.

In the 88th minute, Anelka received a pass from Sylvester and shot from the edge of the penalty area, but was blocked by Ou Chuliang.

The French team took a corner kick from the left, but the ball flew directly out of the baseline.

It can be seen from these several shots and the last corner kick that was obviously of poor quality that the French team was anxious.

But being anxious couldn't change the situation of the game, and the goal they wanted didn't come.

In the 89th minute, Desailly won a long pass from the Chinese team in the midfield, and then quickly passed the ball to the wing and sent it to the frontcourt from the wing.

Anelka saw the opportunity in front of the top of the penalty area and tried to kick a lob, but Ou Chuliang lifted it over the crossbar.

"Two steps to run, two steps to run!"

The French players shouted at Dacote who went to take the corner kick.

Of course, Duckett also knew the importance of time. After arriving at the corner kick area, he placed the ball and immediately stretched out his two arms.

At the same time, the fourth official also held up a "2" sign on the sidelines.

2 minutes of added time in the second half.

The French want to resolve the battle within the normal time.

I can only rely on these two minutes.

Seeing this, various complex expressions and emotions appeared on the faces of the French team players.

Some people are frowning, some are sighing, and some are sighing.

Played overtime with the Chinese team.

This already means "losing"!

In the penalty area, while people are crowding around, they are also constantly pushing opponents out.

Just when Duckett was about to take a run, he saw his teammates in the penalty area making a "pause" gesture at him.

It turns out that there was "internal strife" in the French team at this time.

Goalkeeper Lame abandoned the goal without the coach's permission and wanted to take a corner kick.

He had already run past midfield when he was discovered by his teammates.

Desailly, who was guarding the back, saw this and stepped forward to grab his arm.

The two got into an argument in midfield.

Finally, both of them looked towards the sidelines.

Le Maire had already seen Lame's move, but he remained silent.

Until Lame ran through the midfield and was grabbed by Desailly.

An ominous premonition suddenly rose from the back of his neck to the top of Flamel's head.

Um?

what's the situation?

What does this feel like?

Flamel frowned slightly.

At that moment, he felt like he was being targeted by a lone wolf!

no!

It’s not that time yet!

Looking at the two team members.

Flamel shook his head.

Seeing this, Lame drooped his head and ran towards his own goal.

"There is not much time left in this game."

"The score is still 2-2."

"Both coaches are making arrangements for overtime."

"It's France's corner kick at the moment."

"But the closer we get to the final moments of the game, the less we can take it lightly."

"The same goes for France."

"Just now the French goalkeeper Lame wanted to abandon the goal and participate in the competition for the corner kick."

"But my teammates pulled me back and persuaded me to go back."

"Because the score is 2-2, if the goal is not scored, the French team will not lose."

"The game will go into overtime."

"Perhaps out of conservative considerations, Le Maire did not agree to the goalkeeper's attack."

"It seems that the French team does not want to take this risk!"

"China team, come on!"

"As long as we can prevent this goal, the game will be dragged into overtime."

"The game situation will become more and more favorable to us."

...

"Heizi, guard against that!"

"Lao Fan, take your position!"

"Jihai, stand farther away and stay out of my sight!"

"Everyone keeps an eye on others, so we must keep an eye on them!"

In front of the goal, Ou Chuliang commanded the players in an orderly manner.

At this moment, fifteen players of the Chinese team were crowded in the penalty area.

Except for Xie Hui, all Chinese players crowded into the penalty area and participated in defense.

Under the urging of the referee, Duckett finally started his second run-up.

This time, he kicked the ball directly into the penalty area.

"Get out of my way, mine!"

General Fan roared.

No matter whether you can touch the ball or not, let the momentum spread out first.

Among the crowd, General Fan was plucking green onions from dry land, two feet above the ground.

Not only did he forcefully push Marais aside in the air, he also used his head to push the ball out of the penalty area.

"run!"

Without Ou Chuliang's greeting, everyone shouted and ran towards the outside of the restricted area.

Zhao Junzhe, who was standing outside, caught up with the ball immediately, took a step forward, looked at the position of his teammates, and kicked the ball forward with his left foot.

"run!"

"Run!!!"

Not only the Chinese players, but also the fans in the stands couldn't help but roar.

Xie Hui, who had been charging forward for a long time, suddenly turned into a gust of wind.

Following Yang Chen's diagonal pass, Xie Hui stepped in at high speed and ran with the ball towards the opponent's half.

At the same time, the French team's two defenders quickly returned to defense and blocked Xie Hui's direction, forcing him to the right.

Seeing Xie Hui rushing forward with the ball at high speed, Le Maire on the sidelines breathed a sigh of relief.

He knew it was his sixth sense that had just saved him.

If Lame runs back in the Chinese team's penalty area now, the consequences will be unimaginable!

In order to quickly advance to the opponent's penalty area, Xie Hui took three steps to kick the ball forward.

Desailly and others wanted to get closer and steal the ball.

But he found that no matter how hard he ran, he couldn't get even close to Xie Hui.

Only then did they finally understand.

The physical fitness that I was so proud of was now running out of gas.

Even in overtime, given their physical condition, they still have to call some of their teammates in front to come back to make up defense.

After chasing each other, Xie Hui took the lead in slowing down.

But the two French defenders who chased back did not have any joy.

Because Xie Hui has already brought the ball to the penalty area line.

Facing Xie Hui who was slowing down, Desailly rushed to block him with all his life.

However, Xie Hui had already predicted it.

Kick the ball with your right foot, avoid Desailly, and push the ball laterally with your left foot.

This pass caught the French defender off guard.

Not only did Desailly pass easily, but Cabron, who was facing Xie Hui, staggered.

When the camera followed the ball, what came into view was a Chinese teenager wearing a red robe.

"It's Shao Jiayi!"

Huang Jianxiang shouted out immediately.

Site selection.

This makes Shao Jiayi the player closest to the opponent's goal besides Xie Hui.

So at this moment, only Shao Jiayi could barely keep up with Xie Hui.

Facing the cross pass from his teammate, Shao Jiayi lightly kicked to the left and brought the ball into the penalty area.

Faced with Sylvester's desperate pursuit behind him, and Lame's desperate attack.

Shao Jiayi once again pulled the ball to the left with his left foot, and then gently lifted it with the inside of his toe.

The ball suddenly jumped into the air and flew over Lame's head.

Seeing Shao Jia kicking around, Sylvester speeded up again and ran as fast as he could towards his front door.

At the last moment, Sylvester jumped up with all his strength.

Project your body like a missile.

Bang!

Feeling the touch coming from the top of his head, Sylvester felt happy.

My efforts finally paid off!

He still hit the ball!

However, the next moment, there was another muffled sound above the head.

"boom!"

The ball that was deflected by Sylvester slammed into the lower edge of the crossbar, bounced downward again, and hit Sylvester on the back.

With the help of Sylvester's forward motion, the ball also hit the net.

Plop!!!

Sylvester's body and the football fell from the air to the ground, becoming entangled with the net.

Extremely embarrassed!

At the same time, a roar instantly erupted from the stands.

"Ho ho ho ho ho ho!!!"

"Shao Jiayi, Shao Jiayi, Jiayi..."

"Add one, add one, one, one, yiyiyiyiyi~~~"

"The ball went in!!!"

"The Chinese team scored again!"

"Shao Jiayi!!!"

Huang Jianxiang also shouted loudly at the top of his lungs.

"3 to 2!"

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

"This is a winning goal!"

"This goal is enough to kill the whole game!"

"Won!"

"Won!"

"we won!"

"We beat the world champion!!!"

Then, Huang Jianxiang's roar was drowned out by the fans' shouts coming from the microphone.

Shao Jiayi raised his arms high and ran along the sideline to the Chinese coaching bench, which was already boiling.

Zeng Zheng was the first to rush forward and push him to the ground.

Others also rushed forward, pounced on Shao Jiayi one after another, and formed a human wall on the sidelines.

The French players on the field looked at the Chinese coaching bench with lonely faces, and many of them showed a trace of confusion on their faces.

At this moment, the French players, whether they were already famous or wanted to become famous through the Confederations Cup, lowered their heads silently and walked towards their own half.

Although the whistle hasn't sounded yet, everyone knows that the Confederations Cup is over.

They lost.
