Chapter 455 He Wasn't Fighting Alone

"Looking back at the schedule of the Chinese team, they basically relied on Liu's performance alone to advance to the knockout round. Horton's tactics are very conservative, so conservative that I, as an Englishman, can't stand it anymore. His tactical thinking That is, the other ten people defended, and then Liu was in charge of the sneak attack, and then settled the game. I have to say that Horton is a good driver, because he can also 'drive the bus' on the football field. However, after entering overtime, I think the Chinese team Looking at their players, except for Liu who seems to be able to continue the game, everyone else is exhausted. Dragging into overtime just allows the Chinese team to stay in Australia for a while, and the rest has no effect. Here I have to congratulate the head coach of Arsenal, Mr. Wenger, because Liu will be able to return to London soon. Arsenal are in a bad situation in the new season. I believe Wenger is looking forward to Liu's return. At the same time, I have to remind the Premier League The other head coaches of the team, the 'all-around fighter' from last season is coming back soon, you have to be careful."

Before the start of extra time, the English commentator of the neutral side made an evaluation of the Chinese team. Although Horton is also British, it seems that the England commentator does not intend to save any face for his compatriots. He will be an Englishman The personality that is good at mutual blacking is fully displayed.

However, it seems that the England commentator did not have a detailed understanding of Liu Han's Olympic schedule, because obviously he did not know that Liu Han had to play basketball even if he lost this game.

Horton is nervously making final arrangements for the team's lineup. He has already used up a substitution in the 10 minutes of the game, and now it will enter overtime soon. Horton must ensure the combat effectiveness on the field. He replaced the left back Tao Wei, because Tao Wei can hardly hold on now. Facing the sharp breakthrough from the right of the Italian team Zambrotta, it is not easy for Tao Wei to hold on until the end of the game in 10 minutes.

Horton originally wanted to keep the last substitution spot in case of accidents, but now it seems that he can't keep it. Right midfielder Sui Dongliang also has cramps. If he persists, he may be injured.

The 5-minute rest time is simply impossible to restore the physical strength of the Chinese team players too much. The current situation seems to have reached the edge of the cliff.

"No other nonsense, just one sentence, stand up straight, don't get down." Liu Han waved the sweat dripping from his arms, and said in an indomitable tone. He has consumed a lot of energy today, even if he is as strong as He also felt a little tired.

Although Liu Han's words did not get a response from his teammates, they all stood up one after another. At this point, no one cares about winning or losing. The players of the Chinese team are now completely caught in a contest with their own defects. The young and passionate Let them not understand what it means to admit defeat.

As the referee returned to the field, players from both sides also began to reappear. The Italian team's lineup was also adjusted appropriately, and some of their players also appeared to be exhausted.

The game restarted, and the Italian team kicked off first. Although the rules of the golden goal system are intended to encourage offense, when it comes to the actual game, many teams will be very conservative in order to be on the safe side. However, the Italian team, which has always been conservative in the past, did not properly Defensive plan, they thought about solving the battle within 15 minutes of the first half of overtime.

But to the surprise of the Italians, the players of the Chinese team, who were very weak at the end of the 10-minute game, seemed to have sublimated after entering the extra time. Although they were a bit stumbling, they were full of fighting spirit. People pass by, but people have to stay.

Every player of the Chinese team brought the spirit of stalking to the extreme, and their defensive actions were almost omnipotent.

Liu Han is still actively running in a large area. It seems that the 10-[-] minutes of the game have no effect on him, but the jersey that is completely soaked and can even drip sweat is enough to show how much physical energy he has exhausted.

The offensive rhythm of the Italian team has been repeatedly interrupted, which makes them a little annoyed, because the fouls committed by the Chinese team are all in areas that are not very threatening. When entering within 30 meters of the goal, the Chinese team's defensive actions will be much smaller, but their The defensive level is very thick, which makes the Italian team unable to find the slightest solution.

In the 6th minute of the first half of the extra time, the Italian team still didn't have any good chances. Trapattoni kept blowing sharp whistles on the sidelines, signaling his players to press up, and was beaten by a weak team. The brigade was forced into this way, and Trapattoni was very dissatisfied with the team's performance.

The Italian players began to actively press up, trying to use the crowd tactics to create chaos in the Chinese team's penalty area, but the Chinese team stubbornly withstood the Italian team's onslaught.

In the No.11 minute of the first half of extra time, the Italian team's right midfielder Zambrotta wanted to attack Huang Yong from the left of the Chinese team again. Huang Yong did not come on as a substitute for Zhao Junzhe until 10 minutes into the second half. Relatively strong, in the face of Zambrotta's breakthrough, Huang Yong did not hesitate to tackle the ball, and Huang Yong kicked the ball directly to the middle.

At this time, Liu Han's position was still at the front of his penalty area, only Zhang Yuning was in the middle, and Li Jinyu returned to the front of the penalty area to defend.

Zhang Yuning, who received the ball in the middle, made a movement of knocking the ball back, and Liu Han also stepped forward to respond in a timely manner, but when the Italians were about to encircle Liu Han in the midfield, Zhang Yuning, who received the ball, suddenly rolled along the ball He took the ball with his right foot in the direction of the ball, and then turned around. Behind him, Ambrosini did not expect that the unknown striker of the Chinese team would choose to surpass others at this time.

Zhang Yuning successfully broke through Ambrosini, and then dribbled the ball forward at high speed.

If in the previous game, Zhang Yuning's breakthrough threat this time is not considered big, but in overtime, Trapattoni asked the players to press up. In order to compete for the header, the taller Italian central defender Marcozan Qi has come to the half of the Chinese team, and now only Ferrari is the central defender staying in the backcourt.

Zhang Yuning dribbled the ball at high speed, only Huang Yong, Liu Han and Li Jinyu followed behind him, and Ferrari in front of him was also quickly approaching.

The Italian stars felt something was wrong at this time, and they quickly organized a return to defense, but Trapattoni’s lineup adjustments before the overtime were all offensive players who were replaced, they had no time to return to defense, and could only follow Liu Han and Huang Yong and others hope to cut off the Chinese team's line of receiving players.

Facing Ferrari who rushed up quickly, Zhang Yuning was very calm at this time. Although his performance in the previous game was mediocre, it does not mean that he is useless. His advantage is calmness.

As the hopeful star of Inter Milan's defense, Ferrari is very good at first, but he has a flaw, that is, he likes to attack. This can be said to be his confidence in his defensive skills. Ferrari should retreat appropriately at this time, pay attention to Zhang Yuning's breakthrough line and get stuck, but Ferrari chose to grab at this time.

When Ferrari approached, Zhang Yuning guessed Ferrari's step and directly passed the ball. This made Ferrari's grabbing turn into a mistake, because he couldn't turn around at this time. Can watch Zhang Yuning break through himself.

In order to ensure that the ball can pass through Ferrari smoothly, Zhang Yuning used a lot of force when he split the ball, so he is now struggling to catch up with the football, and the goalkeeper of the Italian team Abbiati also abandoned the goal. It seems that he Will get the ball first.

At this time, Zhang Yuning felt as if there was a fire burning in his lungs, which made him very uncomfortable, but he did not give up. In the last few steps, he felt that he was about to lose touch with the ball, but at this moment, Zhang Yuning chose Throwing his body directly, he fell to the ground and struggled to reach the football, and then flicked the ball to the right before Abbiati.

Abbiati is already out of the penalty area at this time, and he can no longer touch the ball with his hands. Zhang Yuning's call made him fall to the ground to tackle the ball. He was expecting his teammates in blue jerseys to come and destroy the ball. At the time, a tall figure wearing the red jersey of the Chinese team ran past the fallen Abbiati, and Liu Han caught up with the ball by relying on his superhuman speed.

"The opportunity of the Chinese team, Zhang Yuning's dribble was very beautiful, hey, the ball was scored, he passed, he passed Ferrari, the goalkeeper attacked, Zhang Yuning, Zhang Yuning, struggled to dial the ball, Liu Han , Liu Han, Liu Han, the goal is scored, the goal is scored, it’s Liu Han, it’s Zhang Yuning, it’s the Chinese team, the Chinese team scored a goal, it’s a goal, uh—”

In CCTV's live broadcast room, Huang Jianxiang lost his composure. He completely lost control of his emotions and cried loudly during the live broadcast.

I don’t know how many times he has watched the Chinese team lose the game under great circumstances and be eliminated in the live broadcast. As a sports anchor, he controls his emotions to prevent himself from scolding, but now, he doesn’t want to Controlling his emotions again, he completely released his status as a loyal fan of the Chinese team. The Chinese team scored a goal, the golden goal, the lore, and the Chinese team advanced to the semi-finals of the Olympic Games.
