Chapter 134: Only Ten Minutes Left
After the game restarted, Perrin walked to the sidelines and kept making gestures, asking the Chinese team to press forward the formation as a whole and put pressure on the South Korean team.
However, the South Korean team took advantage of the premise of the Chinese team's formation that there were many empty opportunities in the backfield, and continuously played diagonal passes to penetrate.
Wu Xi made a mistake when protecting the ball in the middle, was tackled by the South Korean team, and directly launched a counterattack.
Cai Hui tackled Son Xingmin in the process of returning to the defense, which made him receive a yellow card.
In the previous game, he had already had a yellow card, and the latest information was also played under the TV screen, and under Cai Hui's name, a line was played: "Absent from the next game".
"Cai Hui is missing the next game! If we can make it to the next round......"
"Now I'm afraid I can't think about whether I will be suspended for the next game, and I can enter the next round first!" Xu Yang said anxiously.
The Chinese fans in front of the TV are anxious and helpless, anxious because the team is behind, helpless because they can't help much, and looking at the game situation, the South Korean team still has an advantage.
Soon Son Heung-min passed the football diagonally to the left side of the penalty area, Lee Tingxie's header was ferried to the goal, and Lee Geun-ho shot at the attacking Wang Xiaolei in front of the goal, and the ball was slightly above the crossbar. scared the Chinese fans out of a cold sweat - if this goal was scored, the Chinese team, which was two goals behind, could basically be declared dead.
A minute later, Sun Xingmin got another chance in the Chinese team's penalty area, he suddenly turned around and shot low with his back to the goal, Zhang Chengdong, who was close to him on the back, did not expect Sun Xingmin to shoot like this, and the whole person did not react at all, just watched the football fly past him.
Fortunately, Wang Xiaolei, who was behind him, was focused, and hurriedly fell to the ground and pounced sideways, flicked the football, and the ball finally rolled out of the bottom line.
After this corner kick came out, the header of the South Korean team's central defender Kim Young-kwan in front of the goal was saved by Wang Xiaolei again!
"Wang Xiaolei has made meritorious contributions! He saved the goal of the Chinese team again! During this time, the South Korean team attacked very fiercely, and the Chinese team did not create a threat after pressing forward, but allowed the South Korean team to seize the opportunity and launch threatening attacks continuously...... It's dangerous to kick like this! He Ping said worriedly.
"But at this time, we can't re-shrink the defense because we need ......to score goals," Xu said. If we shrink our defense for fear of being scored, then even if South Korea don't score in the future, their tactical purpose will be achieved...... So you must grit your teeth during this time! ”
※※※
The Chinese players on the field were indeed a little frightened by the South Korean team's repeated bombardment, so when the ball fell to their feet, they hesitated and refused to step forward again. If they don't pay money, they will have little support for the frontcourt, and basically only rely on Gao Zheng to fight with the whole Korean team.
Seeing this, Gao Zheng waved his arms and asked his teammates to press up.
Zheng Zhi understood why Gao Zheng did this, and he really couldn't be pushed back by the South Korean team to push back the counterattack momentum of the Chinese team.
So he pretended to make a cross, but suddenly slammed the ball forward, and then accelerated forward to shake off the Korean defenders!
Zheng Zhi's sudden forward insertion immediately attracted the attention of other players in the South Korean team, and two more players immediately came up to block Zheng Zhi. Seeing this, Zheng Zhi passed the football forward and passed it to Gao Zheng.
Gao Zheng adjusted the direction of his body when he was about to catch the ball - he pretended to catch the ball, but he shook a shot, let the football in front of him, and turned around at the same time, and then he did not stop the ball, but directly kicked the football!
"Gao Zheng shoots from a distance!!"
The ball flew towards the goal, and at the same time there was a noticeable drop, forcing South Korea's goalkeeper Kim Jin-hyun to soar into the air and lean back to lift the ball off the crossbar!
"What a pity!!" He Ping shouted. "Gao Zheng shot beautifully! But Kim Jin-hyun made a wonderful save! ”
Xu Yang hurriedly said next to him: "Although the ball didn't score, Gao Zheng's shot is like a war drum, which will definitely inspire the fighting spirit of the other players of the Chinese team and let them see that we can also threaten the goal of the South Korean team, instead of being beaten passively!" ”
Although the ball did not score, Gao Zheng, who shot the goal, did not regret it at all, he raised his arms and kept waving to the stands, signaling the fans of the Chinese team not to be silent, shouting, cheering for them, and heating up the atmosphere.
Sure enough, the fans of the Chinese team, who were encouraged by his shot, chanted in the stands in a row: "Chinese team! Enter one! China! Enter one! ”
And the players of the Chinese team also gained courage from Gao Zheng's performance - Gao Zheng's form is still online, so what else do they have to fear?
※※※
Gao Zheng's shot not only boosted the morale of the Chinese team, but also told the South Korean team not to forget him, he can still threaten the South Korean team's goal, if they continue to besiege the Chinese team's goal unscrupulously, then it depends on who scores first.
The South Korean team can look down on the Chinese team, but there is no way to look down on Gao Zheng.
They can take advantage of the space left by the Chinese team in front of them, and the Chinese team can also use the space left by their attack......
So then, their offensive really slowed down a lot compared to before.
They guarded Gao Zheng strictly, trying not to let Gao Zheng enter the penalty area, and did not give him the opportunity to directly threaten the goal.
Gao Zheng doesn't care about this, anyway, he is not the kind of player who can only threaten the opponent's goal in the penalty area, he can pull out a long shot, or he can pull out to organize an attack.
He's all-round up front.
Seeing this, Pei Lan also made a substitution, replacing Gao Lin with Yu Hai, and letting Yu Hai play center, but did not arrange a specific position for Gao Zheng, everything depends on his own play, and he can go wherever he wants.
In this way, even if Gao Zheng withdraws from the penalty area, the Chinese team will not have a single contact point in the penalty area.
Gao Zheng can also find the target pass if he wants to pass.
And Yu Hai has a good header ability, it's really urgent, the Chinese team crosses directly from the side, and there are people in the middle who can grab a header to attack the goal.
Sure enough, after retreating, Gao Zheng broke away from the dense defense of the South Korean team in the penalty area and became more active.
South Korea's defenders struggled to keep up with him.
Gao Zheng does not belong to the kind of player who is absolutely fast, his skills at his feet are quite good, so he does not need a lot of space to play, even if he is in a square inch, he can toss and turn to ensure that the football is not lost.
And most importantly, he also has an excellent ability to score from free kicks. If a Korean player impulsively fouls Gao Zheng, then Gao Zheng will get a very good free kick in front of the South Korean team's penalty area.
Therefore, when the players of the South Korean team defended Gao Zheng, they were cautious, not daring not to kick, but they also did not dare to make easy kicks......
In the face of Gao Zheng, the South Korean team could only tie up the fence at the front of their penalty area, whether it was football or Gao Zhengren, they were not allowed to come in easily.
Forcing the Chinese team's attack can only develop to the side, even if the Chinese team crosses from the side, the threat to the South Korean team's goal is much smaller.
At the same time, under the leadership of Son Heung-min, the South Korean team played a wave of counterattacks from time to time, threatening the Chinese team's goal, so that the Chinese team's fullbacks did not dare to insert assists frequently.
In this way, the two sides of the game were deadlocked.
The scene was very glued, and the score was as if it was glued, and it never changed again.
In this stalemate, the game came to the last ten minutes.
In the 80th minute, the Chinese team was still one goal behind.
This time, even the Chinese commentator He Ping couldn't help but say: "In the 80th minute, there is really not much time left for the Chinese team, and we are still one goal behind...... Come on, boys of the Chinese team! ”
