Chapter 495: Thanks to the French!
"There were no surprises in the start for France. France captain Zinedine Zinedine Zidane and left-back Abidale ended their suspensions, Domenech reverted to the 4231 formation, Trezeguet was on the bench, and Thierry Henry played as a lone arrow. ”
"This is the 700th match in the history of the World Cup, and the two teams have not met in the history of the World Cup......"
"Ahem, at present, in the history of the World Cup finals, there are only three teams that can beat China, namely Brazil, Costa Rica and Turkey......"
Cisse, who had broken a bone in the warm-up match and missed the World Cup, came to cheer. Coincidentally, Zheng Zhi, who injured him, was also on the field, and I don't know if Cisse had explained anything to his teammates before the game......"
However, when Zheng Zhi shook hands with the French starters, everyone looked at him with a strange gaze.
These players, who have been famous in world football for a long time, also seem to be jealous of Zheng Zhi's behavior......
Beep –
The final game of the quarterfinals is on!
"The Chinese team kicked off first."
Dong Fangzhuo passed the ball back, did not rush forward immediately, the French team quickly pressed up, and Chen Tao, who received the ball, immediately passed the ball back to Zheng Zhi, who distributed the ball to the right side.
As soon as Artemisia Junmin received the ball, the young Ribery pounced on Artemisia Junmin like a wind, the same young Artemisia Junmin didn't expect Ribery to run so fast and pounce so fiercely, and hurriedly handed the ball back to Zhao Xuri, Zhao Xuri immediately made a big foot cross, trying to turn the ball to Shao Jiayi's side, but the strength was not well controlled, and he was stopped by Malouda with his chest in the middle of the way.
"The ball is lost! Look at Zidane. As soon as Zhang Lu's words fell, Malouda knocked the ball to Zidane.
Zheng Zhi didn't have time to target him, Zidane directly rubbed the ball over Zheng Zhi's head with his right foot, and the ball flew straight to the left side of the Chinese team's penalty area.
Sun Jihai and Henry turned around at the same time and tried to grab the ball, but Li Weifeng grabbed the ball in front of the two of them and pushed the ball out.
"Zidane, this goal almost made a kill! Fortunately, Li Weifeng observed carefully enough and did not let such a thief pass the ball to Henry's feet. ”
When Zhao Xuri returned to the defense, he hurriedly cleared the siege with a big foot.
"Zhao Xuri is a little anxious, he can stabilize the ball, isn't he frightened by the big names of the French team? When the two sides played a friendly match, Zhao Xuri was not on the field at that time. ”
The ball flew high and landed in the backfield of the French team, Dong Fangzhuo ran quickly to grab the point, Gala followed him, he leaned on Gala and occupied a favorable position, and was about to jump, but found that Thuram suddenly jumped in front of him and occupied a more advantageous starting position......
syllable
Thuram managed to push the ball out.
Thuram is Thuram, and it doesn't give you a chance at all.
The world-class central defenders in Serie A seem to be a little better than the central defenders in the Premier League......
The ball fell at Vieira's feet, Vieira made a long pass to the front, and Zhao Xuri actually rose to the top in the middle!
"Zhao Xuri!"
Henry unloaded the ball on his chest at the edge of the penalty area, but Li Weifeng reacted quickly and was quite quick, scrambling to clear the ball with his feet.
"Li Weifeng's performances on these two occasions are very good, and they are worth learning from other players."
Zheng Zhi took the ball and turned around, not as reckless as Zhao Xuri before, but passed a ball to Chen Tao's feet, facing Makelele, with a knock on the heel of his right foot, the ball was knocked to Shao Jiayi on the left, and Shao Jiayi passed to Dong Fangzhuo who ran back.
But Juventus central defender Thuram knocked down Dong Fangzhuo quite simply, and didn't let Dong Fangzhuo take the ball and turn around at all!
China won a free-kick from 30 yards in front of goal and finally got a set-piece in front, but Shao Jiayi's left-footed shot went just over the top left corner of the goal and did not pose an actual threat.
Zhang Lu couldn't help sighing: "This is the first shot of the Chinese team in the first ten minutes of the opening game, it's not easy." ”
"But Thuram's defense is really cunning and tough, there is no way to keep an eye on Dong Fangzhuo, Dong Fangzhuo should pass to his teammates as soon as he has the opportunity to get the ball, instead of facing him with the ball."
Next, the French team continued to control the tempo of the game.
In the 12th minute, Malouda made a short pass on the left, Henry accelerated with the ball to get rid of Zhao Xuri's interception, and cut inside to shoot low with his right foot 18 meters away from the goal, but Liu Yunfei's attention was quite focused and confiscated the ball.
"Henry plays very easily, he seems to have no pressure at the back of the Chinese team, probably because the national team boss Zidane is on the field, they play much easier, and the midfield is combed by him in an orderly manner."
One minute later, Zidane took the ball to the Chinese team's penalty area and played a fairly simple one-two with Henry, but he rushed into the penalty area and was blown offside by the referee.
"This ball...... It doesn't seem to be offside......"
Zhang Lu is very honest, "Li Weifeng is dragging behind, this is a miscalculation, of course, this is a good thing for China......"
The Chinese team counterattacked, Dong Fangzhuo finally passed the ball to Chen Tao at the first time, but there were too few teammates in front, and Chen Tao had nowhere to pass after taking the ball and was intercepted by Makellele.
Makelele handed the ball to Zidane, Zidane passed through the right rib, Ribery made a low cross on the right, Li Weifeng hurriedly cleared with his left foot before Henry, but the clearance was not far away, Zidane followed up with a right-footed shot from 12 meters away from the goal!
This time it was Sun Jihai's turn to save, his sliding tackle blocked Zidane's shot, Sun Xiang returned to the penalty area in time to clear the ball, and the Chinese team escaped again.
"Hey, Zidane has now put himself in front of the striker, it's too much! I feel that this game is even more difficult than the last game against Spain, the French team is too stable, and it doesn't give the Chinese team a chance at all, and Spain gave the Chinese team a lot of opportunities in the last game. ”
1 minute later, Zidane ran back to the backfield, instigated a counterattack with a long pass in the backfield, and directly looked for Henry on the left, but Sun Jihai rushed in front of Henry and rushed to the top and passed back to Liu Yunfei!
"Sun Jihai has made meritorious contributions!"
"Although the situation is absolutely passive, the Chinese team is getting better and better, players like Sun Jihai and Li Weifeng are growing in the game, which is a huge asset, even if we lose the game today, we can learn a lot in the game."
Then, France's attack slowed down a little, but they still controlled the ball, which did not mean that they had given up attacking.
In the 23rd minute, France had their best chance since the opening kick-off. Zidane made a wonderful pass over the top, and Henry quickly shook off Sun Jihai and Li Weifeng to the right side and directly crossed with his right foot!
The boccia ball quickly crossed the line of the small penalty area of the Chinese team, and Ribery in front and Vieira in the middle did not touch it!
"Henry overestimated his teammates."
"It's dangerous! The ball fell to Xu Yunlong and passed the ball to Zhao Xuri, and he rushed up himself! It's fast. ”
Zhao Xuri gave him a diagonal plug, accelerated, ah, he passed Abidale, Abidale stopped Xu Yunlong! Ah, Abidale puts a tackle on the side and back, the ball goes out of the line, corner! The first corner kick of the Chinese team. ”
Crawford shouted from the sidelines, waving his left hand and motioning for Li Weifeng to take part in the corner.
"Corner kicks are quite rare for China, and the attacking opportunity of set-pieces must be taken advantage of, this is a good opportunity to score."
Yes, the Chinese team at this time has nothing to be afraid of, Li Weifeng, Zheng Zhi, Dong Fangzhuo, Shao Jia and four people have entered the big penalty area of the French team, there are no more and no less, but it is enough to make the French team members jealous.
The most threatening Dong Fangzhuo was watched by Thuram, Gala went to get Li Weifeng, Vieira looked at Zheng Zhi, Malouda looked at Shao Jiayi, and the two fullbacks were guarding by the left and right posts......
Zhao Xuri pressed to the edge of the big forbidden area.
Thuram pressed almost his entire body on Dong Fangzhuo's body, and his defensive movements were very strong, although his hands did not make contact with Dong Fangzhuo's body, but the two hands on the left and the right were blocked on both sides of Dong Fangzhuo, and Dong Fangzhuo looked like he was unable to fly.
Chen Tao takes a corner......
The ball landed at the forward point, and Dong Fangzhuo leaned forward to try to make Thuram lose his balance, but Thuram had already known that Dong Fangzhuo would do this, and also pressed forward to maintain his balance.
Sou
Shao Jia, who was at the front point, rubbed it, and the ball was instantly rubbed to the back point!
The French team's big penalty area was a little messy in an instant.
There is Li Weifeng at the back point!
Li Weifeng was not afraid of Gala's confrontation and jumped with Gala to compete for the top! The two men hugged each other tightly in the air, and neither of them could help the other, but neither of them grabbed the ball, but the ball smashed into Garra's neck and fell directly to the turf.
Fack?
The quick-eyed Makelle immediately rushed out of the post and tried to clear the way.
At that moment, Dong Fangzhuo turned his back to Thuram in the middle, and subconsciously walked to the right and turned around, which was a purely conscious reaction, he didn't know where the ball was at all, he just wanted to quickly get rid of Thuram and find his position again.
When he turned around, he found that the ball had landed just over a meter behind Thuram!
Thuram's attention was also quite focused, and when he also followed Dong Fangzhuo and turned around, he also saw the ball!
However, Dong Fangzhuo's right foot has already taken a step forward, and his left foot has already swung his leg back!
Thuram's two hands finally couldn't help it, and directly hugged Dong Fangzhuo!
Syllable!
Dong Fangzhuo resolutely fell to the ground.
"Penalty!"
"Penalty!"
"Penalty!"
The referee blows the whistle decisively, penalty!
Judging from the slow mirror, Dong Fangzhuo was indeed hugged by Thuram behind him, if Thuram didn't make a move, Dong Fangzhuo's left foot was likely to kick the ball directly, and the French team was likely to finish playing at that time.
"Thank you to Thuram, thank you to the referee, thank you to the French!"
"Thuram paid the price for his arrogance, he didn't expect Dong Fangzhuo to be able to participate in the second attack in such a quick time, and he didn't expect the ball to hit Garra's neck and fall like this."
