World Cup of Great Powers

Chapter 351: Senegal can’t save the French either

France was eliminated?

As soon as the game ended, the news that "the world champion was eliminated early" spread all over the world.

Many fans who were still sleeping suddenly woke up.

When they turned on the TV and saw the news and game results, many people felt like they were dreaming.

South Korea is 7 hours ahead of Paris.

When the game ended here, it was only ten o'clock in the morning in Paris.

At this time, even the baby is awake.

As the team lost again, furious fans instantly took over the streets of Paris.

Not to mention the players and coaches, even the accompanying officials were scolded bloody.

The news of the French team's defeat was like a plague, sweeping the world in an instant.

Even some small gambling companies suffered huge losses.

Many angry fans smashed their televisions and vowed never to watch football again.

Faced with the constantly flashing spotlight, Le Maire had already disappeared without a trace, leaving only a pitiful assistant coach in front of reporters' guns and cannons.

"Uh...this...that..."

The poor assistant coach stammered for a long time before finally squeezing out a sentence similar to what the Saudis said a few days ago.

"...France is not yet confirmed to be out..."

"...We still have a theoretical chance to qualify..."

Could it be that after losing two games in a row, they are still not out?

Theoretically speaking, this is indeed the case.

Because China and Senegal have not yet played.

If the Chinese team loses to Senegal, then the French team does have a glimmer of hope.

When the French team defeats Senegal in the third round of the group stage and the Chinese team loses to Denmark, there will indeed be a possibility that the world champion will survive the desperate situation.

So, will the Chinese team lose to Senegal?

No one knows the answer.

But these furious French fans are not in a hurry.

Because after two hours, the answer will be revealed by itself.

Even if China and Senegal draw, the French team will have no hope.

It’s really a twist of fate.

Who would have thought that these French stars, who could be the main force in any team, would now pin their hopes of qualifying on Senegal.

...

The French team lost two games in a row, leaving only a theoretical chance of qualifying.

It is about to become the first team to be eliminated from this World Cup.

At this critical moment, the Saudi people stood up.

In the just-concluded group stage, Saudi Arabia lost to Uruguay 0-1.

Because Uruguay and Ireland tied, after this game, Saudi Arabia, which had lost both games, had no chance of qualifying in theory and became the first team to be eliminated from the World Cup.

When the news came, of course the French team members were the first to breathe a sigh of relief.

From first place to last place, no one can accept this.

The Saudi spokesperson will continue the tradition of tough talk: "...Although we lost the World Cup, we still have the last game left. We will definitely fight for honor in this last game.

war..."

It doesn't matter whether Saudi Arabia wins or loses.

Even the games are broadcast live in two sets.

The real highlight is, of course, the match between China and Senegal at 19:30 in the evening!

In the locker room, the players are getting ready to go.

Zeng Zheng stood in front of the small blackboard, making the final mobilization.

"...Senegal, this team has always been called France's second team."

"We can even defeat the French team, so there is absolutely no reason to be afraid of this 'second team'."

"Perhaps you have heard about it these days."

"The reputation within the Senegalese team is very bad."

"To put it bluntly, they are just a group of male hormones who temporarily gather together for profit."

"Where did they go after they arrived in South Korea?"

"They probably visited all the red light districts in South Korea!"

"And according to their players, this is also a kind of 'rest' for them."

"And that No. 10 Fadiga."

"Yesterday I also heard that he was summoned by the South Korean police for stealing jewelry."

"Say to yourselves, can you still not be able to play against such a team?"

Facing Zeng Zheng's rhetorical questions, the team members were filled with anger and blood.

Not to mention prostitution with public funds, but also theft?

Is this really a football player?

Those who knew knew that he was here to play football, but those who didn’t knew thought he was a refugee who had smuggled over!

What does a refugee team like this have to fear?

Just do it and it’s done!

...

"Good evening, viewers, welcome to the second round of the 2002 World Cup Group A match between China and Senegal."

"I am Huang Jianxiang, the host of this game. I will broadcast the entire next game for you."

"At present, the French team and the Danish team in Group A have finished two rounds. The Danish team has won both games and is currently at the top of the list. The French team has lost both games, leaving only a theoretical chance to qualify."

"For the Chinese team, which defeated the French team in the opening game, as long as they win this game, they can also qualify in advance."

"For Senegal, which lost the first game, they must win this game, otherwise they are likely to be eliminated early together with the French team."

"Before the game, the Chinese team's head coach Zeng Zheng said that after defeating the French team, the pressure on him and the players has dropped sharply. The current goal of the Chinese team is to advance to the group stage one round ahead of schedule."

"Let us here send blessings to Coach Zeng for his ambition, and wish the Chinese team a successful start and success!"

"Okay, now the players from both sides have officially entered the stadium."

"We can see that the captain's armband is still on the shoulders of central defender General Fan in this game."

"The young player Zhao Junzhe, who performed well in the last game, appeared on the bench today."

"Replaced by old Jianlibao general Zhang Xiaorui."

"For the Chinese team, the goalkeeper is still Ou Chuliang."

"Ou Chuliang's stable performance in the World Cup preliminaries has made him the most solid and reliable gatekeeper for the Chinese team."

"The four defenders are Sun Jihai, Li Weifeng, General Fan and Wu Chengying."

"The two defensive midfielders are Li Tie and young player Zheng Zhi, and Zhang Xiaohui and Li Jinyu partner as the attacking midfielders."

"The front line is still the familiar "Chen Hui combination". Yang Chen and Xie Hui each scored goals in the just-concluded opening game."

"For Senegal, the goalkeeper is Silva."

"The four defenders are Cory, Madiop, Diatta and Dave."

"The five midfielders are Ndiaye, Diaw, Sarr, Fadiga and Diop."

"Diouf serves as the single arrow up front"

"In this game, Senegal captain Cisse is absent. He was injured in training on Tuesday and failed to recover in time. Sarr filled his vacancy."

"The other players are the same as in the first game, with Ma Diop wearing the captain's armband."

"Diouf, who was born in 1981, is the youngest player in this game, but he is definitely a presence that cannot be ignored on the court."

"Senegal scored 14 goals in the World Cup qualifying matches, and Diouf himself scored 9."

"This is a very scary front-line killer."

...

"The screen is attacking from left to right, and the one wearing the white and green jerseys is the Senegal team."

"Senegal is considered a dark horse in this World Cup."

"In the past year, Senegal has moved up 44 places in the world rankings."

"There are many players in the team who have played in the French league."

"Under the leadership of French coach Mesu, their performance in the qualifying rounds was astonishing. They won the right to qualify for the first time after squeezing out the top three of Morocco, Egypt and Algeria."

“In the recent African Cup of Nations, Senegal reached the championship and runner-up finals, only to lose to Cameroon on penalties and finish second.”

"The 21-year-old forward Diouf is the star of Senegal."

"This is an explosive player who combines speed and skill."

"If he could limit his performance, the Chinese team would have won half the game today..."

Amid Huang Jianxiang's introduction, the referee blew the whistle to start the game.

As soon as the game started, Senegal took advantage of its physical advantage and continuously attacked the Chinese team's right defense line in an attempt to control the situation with a blitzkrieg.

In the 3rd minute, against the backdrop of Senegal midfielder Diop, Wu Chengying was like a "dwarf".

I saw that this 193-year-old tall midfielder didn't need any skilled foot skills at all. After receiving the ball, he turned around and pushed hard, then dribbled the ball towards Wu Chengying's side.

The opponent's huge body made Wu Chengying at a loss what to do.

As soon as the two came into contact, they were knocked aside.

In desperation, Wu Chengying could only grab Diop's jersey like a pendant and follow the opponent desperately.

Fortunately, at the last moment, Wu Chengying used a sliding tackle to destroy the opponent's cross directly out of the baseline.

Even if the defense was successful in the end, Wu Chengying couldn't help but wipe the sweat from her forehead as she got up from the ground.

too tired!

If this kind of high-intensity defense happens a few more times, he might be replaced during halftime.

Afterwards, Diop slowly ran into the penalty area and participated in the header.

Looking at this Senegalese man who stood out from the crowd, Chi Shangbin couldn't help but complain.

"Who can bear with such a tall player always moving to the wing?"

"Xiao Zeng, if you really can't let Tie Zi come over and double-team you!"

Just as Chi Shangbin expected.

Whether it's offense or defense.

Senegal's players can always stretch out their long legs to block the Chinese players at critical moments.

Facing this steel-like obstacle, the Chinese players on the wing were tripped and knocked over.

In the 6th minute, Diaw's corner kick was cleared by Wu Chengying who was in front of him.

Madiop, who was outside the penalty area, took a long shot from 30 meters away and completed the first shot of the game with a "three-no-touch" shot.

Seeing the ball soaring into the sky, the fans in the stands breathed a sigh of relief.

"African players are physically tough, but their foot skills are still not good!"

"Comparing footwork? They really can't beat us!"

"But you have to be careful. Do you remember the French captain who also scored a long-range shot in the last game? I heard that he is also from Senegal!"

Once they heard that Vieira was also from Senegal, the fans became nervous again.

Zhao Junzhe was not on the court in this game.

What should we do if the opponent shows up with "Vieira" again?!

What are you afraid of, what will come.

In the 11th minute, Senegal's attack on the right finally bore fruit.

The ball was passed into the Chinese team's penalty area.

Although two players double-teamed him, Diop used his tall body to protect the ball in front of the baseline.

After looking up, he directly passed the ball across to his teammates outside the penalty area.

Faced with a pass from his teammate, Sarr directly took off his foot and hoisted the ball to the back of the goal.

Sun Jihai, who returned to the back post, had no idea what was going on behind him and directly used the back of his head to try to push the ball out of the penalty area.

As a result, the ball was not pushed far. Diatta, who was on the side line of the penalty area, stopped the ball with his chest and then directly followed up with a blast.

"...Sun Jihai made a header to clear the ball..."

"The ball didn't go far..."

"Diata stops the ball...shoots!"

"careful..."

In the chaos, I saw the ball flying against the turf towards the goal.

After hitting something unknown in front of the goal, he slowed down and then slowly bounced past Ou Chuliang into the net.

"Ah~~~"

"The goal was scored!?"

There was a hint of regret and question in Huang Jianxiang's tone.

The commentary box where he was sitting was on the other side of the stadium, so he didn't see clearly how the goal was scored.

It wasn't until the big screen at the scene showed a slow-motion playback that he could clearly see what had just happened.

"Look at it again from this angle..."

"Ah, it turns out to be Diouf..."

"Ochulian saved Diatta's shot, but it hit the knee of Diouf who was outflanking him, and the ball bounced into the net."

"I have long said that Diouf can replace Henry Camara and he certainly has his strengths."

"I still can't prevent it..."

"Diouf's sense of smell in front of the goal is too strong."

"Except for Ou Chuliang, none of the other players reacted to the shot just now..."

Amid Huang Jianxiang's regret, the Chinese team fell behind by one goal in the first 11 minutes.

Looking at the changing scores on the scoreboard, the French fans were most delighted.

"YES! Great, Senegal scored!"

"As expected of Senegal, come on Senegal, you must beat the Chinese team!"

"Come on, Diop, come on, Diouf!!!"

Whether it is players, Zheng Zhi or economy, Senegal and France are inextricably linked.

If the French team is really eliminated, then Senegal will undoubtedly become the second home team for French fans.

Not to mention that only Senegal can "save" France now.

Senegal has received the support of so many European fans, and it is natural and deserved.

"Hey, how do you see this ball?"

"Where are the people behind?"

"Just watch him shoot?"

Seeing that the opponent scored first, Jin and Chi jumped up in anger.

Unlike the two veterans who were eager to change their formation, Zeng Zheng held his chin and fell into deep thought.

He is full of confidence in his lineup and tactics.

As for why we were led by our opponents, it’s easy to understand.

Senegal is the dark horse of this World Cup and even has the potential to enter the quarterfinals.

Not to mention that most of its players are playing in the French league. Compared to the French team, which relies on its talent and arrogance and likes to engage in internal strife, it is reasonable for Senegal to have a higher collective fighting capacity than France.

As for the lack of discipline within their team and the personal scandals of their players, although it is true, it also reflects from the side that this team is somewhat capable.

Except for Diouf, all other Senegalese players are over 1.8 meters tall.

Diop, who is standing in the attacking midfielder position, has a terrifying height of 193cm. How does he look like a center?

Don't look at it now. Diop will drop back to support him when nothing happens, or even move to the side, but after he gets tired after running a few laps, he will definitely stay in the middle and become a pillar wedged into the Chinese team's penalty area, acting as an opponent.

The offensive bridgehead.

Facing such a large African team that can run and hit, we must not adopt a wide-open and wide-open style of play.

"Don't worry, hold on!"

Faced with the temporarily absent-minded team members, Zeng Zheng gave the first order to fight as *********, and then he continued to fight."

Zeng Zheng issued the second order.

"First stabilize the rhythm and let me control the situation!"

This is the third order issued by Zeng Zheng.

Afterwards, Zeng Zheng folded his hands on his chest and said nothing.

General Fan saw this and shouted:

"Don't worry, it's just an accident!"

“Everyone listen to Coach Zeng!”

"Just play according to our rhythm."

With the comfort of the coach and captain, the players quickly recovered from the disappointment of losing the ball.

In the 16th minute, facing the Senegalese player's separation again, Lee Tie destroyed it with a tackle in the midfield.

"Well done, Li Tie!"

"The ball broke."

"The Chinese team fights back!"

After Zhang Xiaorui got the ball, he turned around and quickly separated the sides, finding Li Jinyu who was cutting in at high speed from the left wing.

After Li Jinyu got the ball, he broke into the penalty area as quickly as possible, then cut inside laterally, attracting two defenders.

"Look at Li Jinyu..."

"Belt horizontally..."

"Heel..."

As expected of the tacit understanding developed by his teammates over the years, when he saw Zhang Xiaorui rushing past him, Li Jinyu knocked his heel and took the defender away, then handed the ball to Zhang Xiaorui who rushed into the penalty area.

After Zhang Xiaorui got the ball, he turned his back to the opponent's goal and protected the ball first.

It wasn't until Xie Hui ran past him that Zhang Xiaorui safely handed the ball to the opponent.

After Xie Hui got the ball, he quickly got down and swept the ball towards the center with his left foot.

However, due to the dense crowd in the opponent's penalty area, Xie Hui's cross was blocked by the Senegalese player with his feet.

Fortunately, Li Jinyu, who had been staying in his original position, stretched out his kick and intercepted the ball.

Facing the almost crowded small penalty area, Li Jinyu decisively knocked the ball back to the top of the key.

"Li Jinyu sent back..."

"General Fan is coming up..."

"Shoot!!!"

Following Huang Jianxiang's angry shout, General Fan's slash went straight to the opponent's goal.

What a coincidence, the ball traveling at high speed hit the leg of Yang Chen who went inside to grab the point, and bounced out of the baseline.

Goalkeeper Silva, who had already lost his center of gravity, collapsed to the ground, thankful to have escaped.

Although the shot hit one of their own players, the Chinese team's offense just now was really pleasing to the eye and quite organized.

Whether it was Zhang Xiaorui's transfer, Li Jinyu's heel, or General Fan's long shot after opening the gap at the end, Senegal's defensive players were all led by the nose.

Judging from the trajectory of General Fan's shot, if it hadn't been blocked by Yang Chen, the goal might have actually gone in.

Subsequently, the Chinese team played more and more smoothly.

In the 19th minute, the Chinese team took a tactical corner kick.

After Li Jinyu got the ball, he took two steps towards the opponent's penalty area and then quickly passed the ball.

In the penalty area, Yang Chen jumped up high and hit the ball with a lion's head towards the opponent's goal.

boom!

As soon as Silva raised his right hand, the ball hit the top of the crossbar and flew out of the baseline.

Three minutes later, the Chinese team once again launched an attack from the left.

Wu Chengying slowed down her pace after taking the ball on the left, dribbling the ball while observing the position of her teammates.

When he saw Xie Hui running very fast, he made a through ball and passed the ball to his teammates.

What a great Xie Hui.

Don't look at the two defenders behind.

As soon as you catch the ball, make a gesture to turn around and stop the ball, and then quickly move the ball forward.

Such a textbook fake move deceived the opponent's two defenders.

It's a pity that the cross from the bottom line at the end was a little too high, and it flew over Yang Chen's head and out of the penalty area.

However, the Chinese team's attack is not over yet.

Sun Jihai, who was following on the other side, intercepted the ball in front of the sideline, saw the opportunity, and passed from the right.

In the penalty area, Yang Chen's sideways volley shot was not powerful.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After the ball hit the ground, it was firmly held in the arms of Silva who flew sideways.

"Sun Jihai passes the ball..."

"Yang Chen fired in the air..."

"Oops, this ball doesn't have any power!"

“I was pounced on by the Senegalese goalkeeper!”

In the stands, the fans who had just stood up due to excitement once again hugged the back of their heads and sighed.

What a pity, what a pity!

"If this ball had more power, the goalkeeper on the other side would definitely not be able to catch it."

"If nothing else, Yang Chen's kick is really comfortable!"

"Oh, it's thundering but it's not raining. This one is going to die if it doesn't bloom and bear fruit..."

"China team, come on, China team, come on!!!"

During this period of time, the Chinese team's offense was so intense that it overwhelmed the opponent.

Senegalese players and coaches are also very miserable.

They watched the match between the Chinese team and the French team and believed that the Chinese team only relied on defensive counterattacks and personal abilities to win.

But after playing against the Chinese team today, I found that that was not the case at all!

The Chinese team not only firmly controlled the ball in the midfield, but also attacked with ease without any tension.

Even if I'm one goal behind, I don't feel any panic.

On the contrary, the ball was held more firmly.

Even if there is a physical confrontation with the opponent, he will not hand over the ball easily.

"This Chinese team and the last one are completely two different teams!"

Senegal head coach Mesut gritted his teeth and said, "Obviously just one player was replaced."

"That's right, even though only one person has changed, the playing style is completely different!"

Rossi smiled and explained, "This is the role of the classical midfielder."

"If you look closely, almost all the Chinese team's offensive balls will be passed to Zhang Xiaorui's feet, and then he will distribute them to other teammates."

"Zhang Xiaorui alone is a system."

"To deal with a team like Senegal whose technology and teamwork are a little rough, we have to use a more delicate style of play."

Although Senegal, which was being pressed, wanted to attack, it was unable to pass the ball smoothly to the forward.

In the 25th minute, Senegal took advantage of the opportunity to set the ball in the backcourt and passed the ball to Diouf.

This 21-year-old African youngster showed himself vividly in front of fans all over the world. Even though he has not touched the ball for a long time, his feet feel extremely hot.

I saw him rushing to the side line of the Chinese team's penalty area as quickly as possible, stopping the ball with his chest, and before the ball landed, he directly used his right leg to push the ball forward.

After two consecutive bumps, it passed Sun Jihai.

Fortunately, Li Tie came from the inside of the court to cover up the ball in time and broke the ball out of the baseline.

Seeing this, Zeng Zheng couldn't help shouting, instructing his team members not to take it lightly.

"Xiao Zeng, this Senegalese forward is so talented!"

Zeng Zheng smiled slightly and said, "Hey, Coach Chi, do you want to buy him to Class A after the World Cup?"

Chi Shangbin was stunned after hearing this, and then blinked.

"Xiao Zeng, do you want to use our league to assimilate your opponents?"

Before Zeng Zheng could speak, Han Tao who was standing next to him quickly explained: "Coach Chi, what Boss Zeng wants is for him to add some quality to our Class A team!"

While several people were talking, the Chinese team once again used its skillful passing and control ability to pass the ball to the opponent's half.

The three members of Jianlibao, Zhang Xiaorui, Li Tie and Li Jinyu, have such a tacit understanding that they can find each other even with their eyes closed.

The passing of several people was smooth and smooth, constantly tearing apart the opponent's defense line.

Just when the Senegalese defenders were overwhelmed by a pass from several players, Zhang Xiaorui suddenly kicked off and found Wu Chengying who was cutting in from the left wing.

Facing the opponent's pressing defense, Wu Chengying stopped the ball with his chest a little too much, but unexpectedly swayed away the opponent's defender.

After avoiding the angle, Wu Chengying accelerated to chase the ball.

But at this time, Yang Chen had also arrived from the opposite side.

Facing two Chinese players who were about to collide, the Senegalese defender was also a little confused.

Which one are you guarding against?

Who should I guard against?

Will the two of them fight together?

Whose foot will the ball fall in the end?

In the flash of lightning, Wu Chengying stretched out her foot to stop the ball, then quickly rushed out from above the ball, brushing Yang Chen's shoulder and ran over.

Seeing his teammates stop the ball perfectly in front of him, Yang Chen didn't hesitate, directly kicked off and calmly shot into the far corner of the goal.

brush!!!

Silva fell to the ground and threw himself on his side, but he didn't catch anything.

"pretty!!!"

"Yang Chen!"

"Goal scored!"

"1 to 1 draw!"

"In the 27th minute of the game, the Chinese team played a series of coordination in the frontcourt, and finally Yang Chen completed the fatal blow."

“What a wonderful experience!”

"Yang Chen shot the ball so calmly, without any unnecessary extra movements. The Senegalese goalkeeper was beyond his reach."

"Let's watch the replay again..."

The Chinese team's smooth coordination to score goals completely conquered fans all over the world.

In the previous consecutive attacks, the fans had already expected that the Chinese team would tie the score.

So when the goal was scored, the Chinese fans in the stands immediately stood up and cheered for the team.

On the contrary, the French and Senegalese fans had sad faces.

"I didn't expect that the Chinese team could play such a wonderful coordinated attack. Why didn't they play like this when they played against us?"

"Oh, if this continues, Senegal really can't win!"

"Is it possible that God will destroy me, Gaul? Is the French team really going to be eliminated?"

While the French fans were complaining, Senegal made a beautiful counterattack after only 5 minutes.

After stealing the ball in midfield, Diop turned around and passed Zheng Zhi, and then sent a pass.

The ball happened to fall between General Fan and Li Weifeng, and aided by Diouf's speed, the Senegal striker got out of the two like a wind.

"Be careful, it's dangerous..."

"Single sword!"

"Ou Chuliang!!!"

Following Huang Jianxiang's exclamation, Ou Chuliang fell to the ground in the face of his opponent's single sword attack, and saved Diouf's powerful shot.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Seeing this, the fans were also scared into cold sweats.

Don't look at the fact that most of the time the ball is in our hands.

But Senegal's counterattack is extremely sharp. If you are not careful, your opponent may seize the opportunity!

After the Chinese team escaped this disaster, the Chinese team's offense began to slow down.

The score has been tied and the first half is coming to an end.

In addition to considering the physical fitness and mentality of the players, controlling the rhythm of the game is also what Zeng Zheng has to consider.

Even so, the Chinese team still did not take the initiative to give up control of the midfield.

When the Senegalese want to attack, they mostly rely on Diouf's speed to counterattack.

After that one-on-one attack, the Chinese team's defense became much more cautious.

In this way, after the two sides played well for half a half, the game entered the halftime break.

In the second half, the sides changed sides and the battle resumed. No one on either side made any substitutions.

In the 49th minute, Zhang Xiaorui dribbled the ball from the left to pull out the crowd and lead the ball to the midfield gap.

Just when everyone thought he was going to reorganize, Zhang Heizi made a pass from 40 meters away from the goal.

Yang Chen took a header inside the penalty area and made an alley-oop with Xie Hui in front of the small penalty area.

It's a pity that Xie Hui's header was slightly weak and the ball was confiscated by Silva.

Immediately afterwards, Senegal counterattacked with a long pass.

Seeing Sun Jihai being physically suppressed by his opponent, Zeng Zheng, who was watching the fight from the sidelines, couldn't help but grin.

The physical disadvantage is too great!

If this continues, maybe it will be like the first half, where the opponent will use their physical strength and body to score a goal.

Then you will be passive!

There are no underdogs in the World Cup.

Even if he beat the French team, Zeng Zheng would not dare to be careless.

After fighting for the first point, Diop also rushed forward.

After overpowering General Fan to get to the second point, he was about to break into the penalty area.

"Block him!!!"

As soon as General Fan finished shouting, Diop on the penalty area line flew up and blasted the ball into the air.

It wasn't until the ball was knocked away by the fans that General Fan, Li Weifeng and Ou Chuliang heaved a sigh of relief.

"Team, captain, I..."

Before Li Weifeng could finish speaking, General Fan waved his hand.

Then he bent down and supported his knees with both arms.

Even though we just took a 15-minute break, Zeng Zheng has already explained that the first ten minutes after the start is the most difficult and tiring time.

This is indeed the case!

The Senegalese players ran rampant and used their bodies and fighting strength several times to forcefully break through the Chinese team's midfield pass.

"Don't hit it too small!"

Seeing this, Zeng Zheng quickly shouted, "Long pass, long pass!"

"Enlarge your view!"

"It's really impossible to pass the ball back to the goalkeeper!"

"Yes, yes, pass back to the goalkeeper!" Jin and Chi both shouted.

In the past, he would never ask his players to do this.

But today's Chinese team, under the training of Zeng Zheng, even the goalkeeper has the ability to catch and play the ball.

With Ou Chuliang's ball sense and caution, the coaching staff is really not afraid of him falling behind.

In this way, after Senegal hit a low-quality shot, the Chinese team began to adopt the tactic of "exchanging space for time".

Because they are full of physical energy, the offensive and defensive transition rhythm of both sides is relatively fast.

In the 52nd minute, Zhang Xiaorui's unhurried operation in the midfield was commendable.

Surrounded by three opponents, he relied on fake moves and excellent psychological quality to score the ball.

This made Jin and Chi, who were still arguing about passing the ball back to the goalkeeper, blush.

Passing back to the goalkeeper is a last resort;

But now the players have offensive capabilities, so why not move forward?

Although Zhang Xiaorui scored well, Sun Jihai and Li Weifeng made mistakes in their cooperation, and the opponent's defender pushed the ball to the feet of his own goalkeeper.

After Senegal got the ball, it quickly attacked the Chinese team's left defense line.

Sarr made a pass, but Li Weifeng pushed the ball hard.

However, Zheng Zhi made a mistake in stopping the ball on the penalty area line. The ball was intercepted by Diaw and passed to Diop on the side.

Unfortunately, the latter's shot from the penalty area hit the ball high again.

"Oh, Senegal has changed!"

"The Chinese team also needs to make substitutions."

"We can see that Senegal has replaced No. 11 Henry Kamara."

"The Chinese team replaced Li Weifeng with high defender Du Wei."

Senegal changed a forward, and Zeng Zheng changed a defender immediately.

The game continues.

In the 56th minute, Kamara rushed into the Chinese team's penalty area and passed the ball. Diouf volleyed and hooked near the penalty spot, but did not touch the ball.

Du Wei saw this and used his long legs to poke the ball out of the penalty area first.

However, every Senegal player is very strong.

After the opponent's full-back came up, he squeezed away Li Jinyu and intercepted the ball again, then cut inside and made a pass.

Fortunately, Du Wei jumped up and interfered with the opponent. Kamara's header rushed to the top, and was finally held tightly by Ou Chuliang.

When the camera turned, a black girl in the stands looked surprised, with disbelief written all over her face.

Didn't even score this goal?

Is the Chinese team so tenacious?

"Come in quickly, come in quickly, come in quickly!"

More black fans closed their eyes and clasped their hands together.

Whether it's for France or Senegal.

They all have to win the Chinese team today!

Facing Senegal's fierce attack, the Chinese team retreated almost completely after the opening game.

Occasionally, when there is an attack, it always ends with a long pass after attacking near the midfield.

At the 61st minute, with General Fan wailing, the referee's whistle sounded.

"Slow down, don't go yet."

Seeing that the team doctor next to him was about to make a move, Zeng Zheng stretched out his hand to stop the two of them.

Zeng Zheng saw clearly that General Fan was only slapped on the bridge of his nose and had two nosebleeds.

Although this kind of injury looks scary, it is actually not dangerous.

This is a good time to delay and slow down the pace!

Just like that, after General Fan lay down for half a minute, two team doctors came belatedly carrying first aid kits.

"Xiao Fan, look at my finger, what is it?"

Although they can't understand Chinese, everyone still knows what the team doctor is doing by looking at his gestures.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Taking this opportunity, the Senegalese coach called several players to the sidelines and kept giving instructions.

Zeng Zheng was not in a hurry.

If there are any instructions, he will convey them immediately during the game.

It took nearly three minutes for the game to continue.

By this time, Senegal's opening attack was at the end of its game, and the rhythm of the game was back to the Chinese team.

In the 64th minute, the Chinese team got a good chance to score.

Zhang Xiaorui and Li Jinyu fell down twice in a row in the crowd.

Even with his back to the goal, Zhang Xiaorui suddenly made a "look left and pass right" kick and successfully distributed the ball to Wu Chengying on the other side.

After this pass was sent, a large gap was opened in Senegal's defense.

With almost no interference, Wu Chengying passed a low ball.

It's a pity that Yang Chen, who was outflanking from the previous point, kicked the ball in the air and missed the goal.

"Ah ah ah ah ah~~~"

"Yang Chen!"

"that's too regretful!"

"This is almost a guaranteed goal!"

"This ball will go in when it touches it!"

"Yang Chen is really... his state is up and down today..."

Although he scored one goal, Yang Chen also wasted many opportunities.

Especially seeing that the goal that was almost a must-goal was not touched, the fans felt even more regretful.

Yang Chen, who knew he wasted his chance, also slapped his thigh directly after stopping.

Such opportunities to score goals only appear once or twice in a game.

Subsequently, the Chinese team came closer to scoring in the 67th minute.

Zheng Zhi made a long pass from the backcourt, and Yang Chen, who succeeded in countering offside, intervened at high speed and cut inward laterally in the upper left corner of the penalty area. After attracting two defenders, he kicked his heel. Wu Chengying, who followed, directly drew a wonderful arc.

.

Silva, who was guarding the front spot, couldn't catch the ball. He could only stand there and watch the ball fly over his head.

when!

There was a crisp sound.

Wu Chengying's curved ball hit the crossbar and flew out of the baseline.

"The beam, it's the beam again!"

"The Chinese team has already hit the goal frame twice today!"

Seeing the door frame again, Huang Jianxiang was so annoyed that his thighs turned red.

The Chinese team attacked a lot today and took a lot of shots, but there were no goals.

This kind of scene makes the fans scratch their heads.

On the contrary, the French and Senegalese fans on the opposite side crossed themselves on their chests.

"God bless, the Chinese team must not score another goal!"

The Chinese team was trying to take over the game, but Senegal was unwilling to repeat the mistakes of the first half.

Especially without a goal lead.

Mesut certainly did not want to let the Chinese team control the rhythm of the game again.

In the 68th minute, Wu Chengying pulled Sal down on the left and received a yellow card.

Two minutes later, Li Tie committed a foul on the right tackle and also received a yellow card.

As a result, Lee Tie, who has accumulated two yellow cards, will miss the next game against Denmark.

House seemingly endless rain.

Seeing Senegal engaged in a "fight between trapped beasts", Zeng Zheng once again waved his hand and arranged for the substitute players to warm up.

But at this moment, the Senegalese broke out with a wave of extremely strong fighting power.

In the 72nd minute, Ndiaye launched an offensive from the left. Diop stopped the ball on his chest in the penalty area and turned around forcefully.

This time, he did not choose to shoot directly. Instead, he leaned on General Fan and made a "smart" pull to turn the ball around.

The tall man of over 1.9 meters looked very funny, but General Fan could not laugh.

Seeing the other party turn around, General Fan tried to stretch his legs again, but it was still a step too late.

The ball was swept in front of the goal by Diop.

"Diop crosses!"

"Danger!"

In front of the goal, Kamara, who was outflanking, was held tightly by Du Wei.

Even if he runs in front of the ball, there is no room to shoot.

In desperation, Kamara turned around and blocked the ball with his heel.

Diouf, who quickly followed up from behind, followed up with a shot from a small angle. The ball flew into the net with a whoosh from the top half of the goal.

Ou Chuliang is beyond reach!

"ah..."

"Diouf shoots..."

"The ball went in..."

Huang Jianxiang's broadcast voice was full of disappointment.

It's obvious that they want to control the game, and it's obvious that their team has played so many beautiful offenses.

But it was the opponent who scored the final goal.

2 to 1!

In the stands, the Senegalese and French gangsters were excited.

They seemed to have seen the scene where the Chinese team lost and was even eliminated.

Many French fans cried with joy.

They even began to celebrate the French team's "survival".

In their view, as long as Senegal defeats the Chinese team, their victory over Senegal in the third game will be easy.

At that time, we will establish a good relationship with the Danish team and let them abuse the Chinese team.

At that time, the three teams will have 1 win and 2 losses, and the French team can still get a chance to qualify based on their goal difference.

Thinking of this, many French players have begun to think about their own "road to redemption."

If God gives him another chance, they will never play as embarrassingly as they did in the first two games of the group stage!

Facing the opponent's goal, the Chinese coaching bench also burst into mourning.

Same as Huang Jianxiang.

Seeing that the team was only blossoming but not bearing fruit, everyone was very anxious.

Zeng Zheng was not idle after a brief moment of confusion and immediately chose to replace him.

"Oh?"

"The Chinese team has made another substitution."

"The replacement this time is forward Xie Hui."

"The one who has been replaced is Zhang Yuheng."

"It seems that the Chinese team is also going to step up its offense."

Losing one is also a loss, losing two is also a loss.

In Zeng Zheng's opinion, instead of complaining about bad luck here, it is better to use the remaining time of the game to have a real bayonet fight with the opponent.

In the 76th minute, Sun Jihai broke through on the right and won a corner kick.

The corner kick went into the center of the Senegal penalty area, causing chaos.

Zhang Yuheng took the ball with his second touch after coming on the field and kicked the ball hard towards the goal.

Unfortunately, there was a group of red and white players standing in front of the Senegal goal. The ball did not penetrate the crowd and was blocked by the opponent's defender with his feet.

Subsequently, Zeng Zheng once again replaced Li Jinyu with his root and tail, using up all his substitution quota.

"The Chinese team is going to give it a try!"

Seeing that there were 10 minutes left in regular time, everyone, whether it was the coaches of both sides, the players of both sides, or the fans in the stands, basically guessed the tactical strategies of both sides.

For Senegal, their biggest goal is to preserve this hard-won victory. After all, they still have to retain their combat effectiveness against the French team in the third game.

For the Chinese team, losing means 0 points, which means various possibilities will arise. At this stage, as long as it can score one point, it can eliminate an opponent in advance.

After understanding Zeng Zheng's intentions, the players on the field gritted their teeth and implemented Zeng Zheng's final counterattack tactics.

Soon, Zeng Zheng's substitution adjustments achieved immediate results.

In the 82nd minute, Zhang Xiaorui was tripped while controlling the ball in the frontcourt.

The experienced man got up and immediately took a free kick. Sun Jihai on the right received the ball and crossed from a 45-degree angle.

In order to prevent Zhang Yuhuang from heading the ball, the Senegalese defender jumped up in advance. As a result, he missed the header and hit his own player, which almost caused a disaster.

A minute later, Zhang Xiaorui leaned on his opponent in front of the penalty area and split the ball to the side under the pressure of double-teaming.

Yu Genwei, who just came on the field, received the ball and turned around, starting from almost the same place as Sun Jihai just now and passing the ball.

This time, Senegal goalkeeper Silva made a mistake and missed the shot.

After the ball passed in front of the goal, Wu Chengying used his last strength to rush to the bottom line and passed the ball back to the goal in an inverted triangle.

This time, Yang Chen, who had been waiting in front of the goal early, aimed at the ball and easily pushed the ball into the empty goal.

2 to 2, the Chinese team once again tied the score!

"The Biography of Wu Chengying..."

"Yang Chen..."

"Come in!!!"

"The ball went in!!"

"The ball went in!!!"

This time, Huang Jianxiang was finally so excited that he roared out.

Falling behind twice in a row and tying two times in a row.

The strong and unyielding spirit of the players also moved all the Chinese fans present.

From the moment Wu Chengying passed the ball, all the fans stood up and waved their arms, unwilling to put them down for a long time.

"China team, come on!"

"Come on! Team China!!!"

Cheers and cheers echoed throughout the stadium, and the players celebrated for a full minute before returning to their respective positions.

"Give me control of the ball!"

After the team members returned to their positions, Zeng Zheng gave the first order.

"No more attacking."

"Don't be passive defensive either."

"Give me control of the ball and be ready to attack at any time."

"Come in if you have a chance, and don't force yourself if you don't have a chance. Do you understand?"

Zhang Xiaorui looked stunned and immediately understood Zeng Zheng's intention.

At this point in the game, a draw is already a victory for the Chinese team.

Li Tie has accumulated yellow cards and been suspended.

In the third game against Denmark, there can be no more surprises!

However, Senegal, which was once again tied with the score, gave up.

In addition to their own victory, they have other "pursuits".

You can't think that after the "home team" loses to the Chinese team, you haven't played in the "second team", right?

In the 4 minutes of injury time, Senegal continued to launch fierce attacks on the Chinese team's goal;

However, no matter how fierce the opponent's attack was, the players who retreated from all fronts gritted their teeth and persevered to neutralize the opponent's attack.

In just 4 minutes, Senegal completed 7 crosses.

Finally, after Diaw's cross was cleared by Du Wei, the referee finally blew the whistle to end the game.

"2 to 2."

"The Chinese team had a difficult draw with Senegal."

After watching the entire game, Huang Jianxiang used the word "difficult" to describe the intensity of this game.

Especially the two red-stained paper balls under General Fan's nostrils are even more shocking.

"It's even! It's even!!!"

The moment the whistle blew, the Chinese team rushed to the sidelines to interact with the excited fans.

"It's even, alas, it's even..."

The frustrated Senegalese players lowered their heads and walked to the sidelines.

They don't understand why the Chinese team can crush them in all aspects in terms of ball possession.

Why was it that even though I was in the lead twice, I was tied by my opponent twice?

They don't even know if Senegal, which has only one game left, has a chance to qualify.

"It's even, how can it be even?"

"It's over, now it's really over!!!"

At this moment, French fans all over the world were paralyzed on the ground.

No matter how unwilling they are, they can only accept this cruel reality.

The French team was really eliminated!
