Zhou Yi used the method of controlling the ball to defend, forcing Australia to give up his aggressive attack style, and the two sides started to deal with each other during the game.

But overall, Australia still has some advantages. In terms of overall strength, of course, they are stronger than the Chinese team.

It is natural for Australia to reach the semi-finals, and many people were surprised by the Chinese team's ability to reach the semi-finals.

The first half, in this kind of stalemate, came to an end.

Australia has not been able to score again, and the Chinese team has not been able to equalize the score. Of course, many people will definitely think that it is already very good for the Chinese team to not continue to concede the ball, and it is too luxurious to equalize the score.

Judging from the performance of the two teams in the first half, it seems that this is the case.

But Zhou Yi doesn't think so. He feels it's a pity that he didn't equalize the score in the first half.

You must score a goal as soon as possible in the second half...

During the halftime break, Gao Hongbo praised the team's performance, especially during the period after the goal was conceded. Everyone remained calm and calm.

He made a request for the offense in the second half, hoping that the players would play a little easier.

Because Australian players have physical advantages, if they play too complicatedly, they are easily entangled by the opponent. As long as they have physical contact, Chinese players will almost lose. This can be seen clearly in the first half of the game. Moreover, if Chinese players lose this confrontation, the referee may not necessarily blow the whistle and judge the Australian players to foul, because this is... a reasonable collision!

In response to this situation, Gao Hongbo made such a request to everyone during the halftime break, reducing the time for each player to get the ball, and using passes and running positions as much as possible instead of controlling the ball under his feet, and not giving Australian players the chance to come up with them.

Compared with Australian players, Chinese players are not in good health, but relatively flexible, so you can make a fuss about flexibility.

He asked the players to run faster and more aggressively than usual, and pass faster and more accurately, especially in front of the opponent's 30-meter area. Because once they are trapped in positional battles, the physical advantages of Australian players can fully play their role.

In this regard, the core figure of this style of play is Zhou Yi.

It mainly depends on the performance of the Zhou Yi.

Zhou Yi kept running in the first half, and almost stopped for a minute. With his crazy running, the Chinese team's pass was very smooth. Gao Hongbo obviously hoped that Zhou Yi would also have such a performance in the second half, and in the running, he led the Chinese team to make a beautiful and fatal offense.

Zhou Yi has no objection. To be a core, one must have core awareness. At this time, of course he must come out and take responsibility.

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again.

As soon as the game began, Australia launched a fierce offensive against the Chinese team's goal. Their style of play was much simpler and rougher than in the first half, focusing on two sides and then crossing.

Relying on the advantages of physical and height, we can attack the Chinese team's goal.

Australia also adjusted during the halftime break. They wanted to play more skillfully in the first half, but the Chinese team's pass and cut coordination was better than they thought, leaving them completely without a place to quit.

So during the halftime break, Australia made adjustments. If they didn't play any technical skills with the Chinese team, they would use their greatest advantage to defeat the Chinese team.

In doing so, although the success rate of each attack is relatively low, it is easy to increase the number of attacks. After the number increases, the possibility of goals will naturally increase.

Besides... if you use your own strengths to attack your opponent's weaknesses, the success rate may not be low.

This is what Australia thought during the break, but after the second half, they gradually realized that the situation was different from what they had imagined during the break...

Why?

Because the cross from the wing, the header may not always be able to hit the ball, or the football is just toward the goal. For a large part, the football will be pushed out by the Chinese defender, or the goalkeeper will be punched out by the double boxing.

Then, the football will fly in the opposite direction to the goal...

At this point, it becomes very important to control the second landing point.

But Australia can't control the second place...

The second landing point was almost all obtained by the Chinese team, or Zhou Yi.

With Zhou Yi's height of 1.78 meters and thin body, it is too difficult to go to the penalty area to fight with the opponent to head the ball. His heading shots in the offense are more of a loophole, which is different from defense.

But that doesn't mean he's useless in defense.

He can focus on controlling the second landing point of football.

Whether in defense or offense, the second landing point is very important, just like a rebound in basketball. Whoever can control the second landing point can greatly improve the situation. The defensive party controls the second landing point, which can increase the success rate of defense, while the offensive party controls the second landing point, which can form a second attack, which invisibly increases the success rate of the offense.

Zhou Yi has a lot of experience in controlling the second landing point because he has had hundreds of games in the virtual world.

What should I do after I get the second landing point?

Of course, it is the first time to launch an attack.

Now he has a precise long pass. He can start attacking directly from the backcourt and no longer has to pass through the backcourt to the frontcourt in a series of passes, only one kick!

I didn't even need to observe because it was all in his mind...

In the 55th minute, Australia made another cross from the wing. This time the football was pushed out by the captain of the Chinese team and the central defender Du Wei.

"Just" fell to Zhou Yi's feet again.

After Zhou Yi raised his foot and stopped the football, he turned around and waited for the football to bounce up, and then kicked the football!

Long pass!

Before the Australian players could react, the football had already flown to the frontcourt!

And there, in addition to their three defenders, there is also a Chinese forward - Gao Lin!

※※※

"Good ball, Zhou Yi's beautiful long pass! Gao Lin!!" commentator Liu Hong shouted excitedly.

This voice made many Chinese fans who were depressed by Australia's pressure to beat the ball.

The football was still flying in the air, but everyone's eyes fell on both players on the ground.

Gao Lin pulled to the side to catch the ball. Next to him, an Australian player had already rushed up to stop him from receiving the ball.

However, Gao Lin is not alone, and there is another person who is running forward at the highway to support him, that is Hao Junmin, who plays at Schalke 04. Although he cannot play in Schalke 04, receiving training together has improved Hao Junmin's grasp of fighter jets a lot.

Especially in Schalke 04, you can often see Zhou Yi’s games, so he knows Zhou Yi’s football ideas very well.

At this time, if Gao Lin is left alone in front, then this counterattack will end with Gao Lin, and someone must rush forward to respond.

Gao Lin caught Zhou Yi's pass steadily, and at this time the Australian players also blocked him and stopped him from driving the ball forward.

Then Gao Lin saw Hao Junmin.

He passed the football horizontally.

Then he rushed forward without the ball and took away the Australian player who came up to defend him.

After taking two steps, Hao Junmin immediately faced the siege of Australian players.

At this moment, he glanced out of the corner of his eyes and saw a player wearing a Chinese team white jersey next to him. Although he had not seen who it was, he had to pass the ball immediately, so Hao Junmin used a tackle move to send the football over.

After passing the ball, he was surprised to find that the person who came to pick up the ball was... Zhou Yi!

Wasn't he still in front of our penalty area just now? When did he run up? His physical fitness and speed... are there really no problem?

"Zhou Yi! He is here!" The commentator Liu Hong seemed very excited.

While Hao Junmin was still shocked, Zhou Yi had already passed the football.

With one kick, the football rolled towards Gao Lin, who was running without the ball!

However, it was transmitted to a direction contrary to Gao Lin's running position...

Is the transmission wrong?

No!

Gao Lin suddenly turned around and ran back, shook away the Australian player who followed him, and also received the ball from Zhou Yi, and then broke into the penalty area!

Now he has no one to guard!

At this time, everyone's eyes were focused on Gao Lin. As a striker, his ability to shoot again was not quite satisfactory. Many people even felt a little anxious when they found that Gao Lin got such an opportunity - what if he masturbated again?

But Zhou Yi did not have such an idea. He knew that for an excellent striker, his skills are important, but confidence is even more important. He has seen this in Mark. To what extent can the improvement of confidence change a person...

So he knew very well that Gao Lin was no longer the Gao Lin before the Asian Cup.

Because he is the best scorer of the Chinese team and one of the best scorers in this Asian Cup.

His confidence has been greatly improved by scoring consecutive goals!

Now, driven by confidence, how could he shoot away when facing such an easy opportunity?

After he watched Gao Lin turn in, facing the attacking Australian goalkeeper Schwarzer, he swung his right foot, and then kicked out a ball that was quickly rushing forward against the turf!

An extremely correct choice!

Because the goalkeeper is more difficult to hit the ground than to hit the ball with a half-high ball...

Sure enough, Schwarzer didn't even have time to poke the ball with his hands during the attack, so he could only use his feet to block it, but he didn't block it!

The ball...into it!

"Gao Lin! Good goal! He equalized the score for the Chinese team! Under very difficult circumstances, the Chinese team brought Australia back to the same starting line!" Liu Hong did not call "in" this time, but this may further illustrate his excitement - he had excitedly forgotten the way of explaining his programmed signature words...

When the football rolled into the goal, not only Liu Hong was very excited, but in the stands at the scene, the red quickly churned, and their shouts were shocking!

In front of the TV, countless arms were raised high.

"Long live the Chinese team!!"
Chapter completed!
