Chapter 78 Tie
"The Chinese team's counterattack!" When Yang Muge intercepted the ball and passed the football to Zhou Yi, the Japanese commentator exclaimed. "Zhou Yi passed the football to Hao Junmin! Hao Junmin drove the ball forward... He Ying! He received the ball in the penalty area, so... pass?! Zhou Yi--!!"
Finally, accompanied by the exclamation of the Japanese commentator, Zhou Yi kicked the football into the Japanese team's goal.
"Download the ball!" The Japanese commentator shouted at the top of his throat, feeling very excited. Of course, this was not excitement, but excitement of annoyance.
"Our leading advantage is gone! Now both sides have returned to the same starting line! The Chinese team equalized the score while having the advantage... This is really incredible!"
"He Ying assisted Zhou Yi! This time he did not shoot, but made the right choice!" Liu Hong praised He Ying excitedly. "After attracting the Japanese defender, he passed the football to the middle, creating an opportunity for Zhou Yi to shoot without a guard behind! Good, very clear-headed!"
※※※
After scoring the goal, Zhou Yi ran to celebrate the goal, then hooked up to He Ying and signaled him to come up to celebrate together.
Although Zhou Yi shot this ball, Zhou Yi believed that the biggest hero was He Ying.
Because the most critical part of the entire offensive process is actually He Ying's forward insertion and passing after getting the ball.
Yoshida Mai also rushed forward and left behind, only He Ying caught the gap. Why? Because he was heading in that direction from the beginning, he could foresee that there might be a gap there. Because in the middle of the Japanese team's back line, someone must come out to fill the gap. But why is Yoshida Maiya instead of Ino Hachi Maiya? Because Ino Hachi Maiya has to defend Takarain, only Yoshida Maiya, who should have defended He Ying, could also rush up. He Ying did not immediately hit the front in the counterattack, but was swimming outside looking for opportunities.
The opportunity made him wait.
The front insertion was very timely and critical. After hitting Yoshida Ma, he caught him off guard with the entire Japanese defense line.
After he inserted into the air to get the ball, he knew that his shot today was not right, so he did not shoot hastily and wasted this offensive opportunity. Instead, he stopped and waited for the Japanese defenders to surround him and then passed the football out, giving Zhou Yi, who was inserted in the back row, the opportunity to shoot without anyone being disturbed.
In this attack, He Ying played his strengths and avoided his weaknesses, and was very calm, reflecting his sensitive sense of fighting aura, excellent running position, and calmness in front of the goal - and these are all He Ying's usual advantages.
If he is obsessed with using goals in the game to prove that his condition is fine and further proves that he is correct to choose to stay in Barcelona, then this goal will most likely not appear.
He Ying ran up and hugged Zhou Yi, and a smile finally appeared on his face.
"Beautiful job, He Ying!" Zhou Yi hugged He Ying and said.
He Ying smiled and replied to him: "You did a pretty job!"
"We both did a pretty job, hahaha!" Zhou Yi was not modest either.
The other teammates ran up and hugged the two of them, celebrating the goal excitedly together.
It is very happy to be able to score a goal in the Japanese team away and equalize the score. Especially after missing a single shot before, some people really think that this game may be lost like this...
※※※
When the Japanese team conceded the ball, Keiyu Honda was still in the frontcourt and he did not go back to defend. He had been on the ground for a long time, hoping that the referee would notice it. But the referee turned around and ran away, ignoring him at all. When he got up from the ground in disappointment, He Ying received the ball in the Japanese team's penalty area.
The next moment is the moment of concealing the ball.
The source of this goal was him, he was intercepted by Yang Muge during the attack, and then the Chinese team took the opportunity to counterattack. Since the Japanese team was attacking before, some people had no time to retreat, which caught the Chinese team off guard.
So he is responsible for conceding the ball.
He turned his head and looked at Yang Muge. This Chinese midfielder was running towards Zhou Yi and He Ying to celebrate the goal.
Because he was facing his back to himself, Keiyu Honda couldn't see the expression on Yang Muge's face. I wonder if he smiled at this time...
He remembered what Shinji Kagawa said to him in the player channel.
Don't underestimate him, otherwise you will be in trouble.
Now he finally regrets why he didn't listen to Shinji Kagawa's advice...
But what's the use of regretting now? There is no regret medicine in this world.
※※※
"Zhou Yi! Awesome! Equal!"
"As a critical moment, it really depends on Zhou Yi! The key gentleman of the Chinese team! It's so cool!"
"But He Ying passed this ball very beautifully..."
"He Ying finally woke up once and knew what he should do. Fortunately, he didn't shoot directly, otherwise he would definitely waste another chance!"
"But if he scored the ball just now, wouldn't we be ahead of Japan 2:1 now?"
Although He Ying assisted Zhou Yi's goal, in the eyes of domestic fans, He Ying's performance was still not good enough. They were still resentful of the single-shot goal that He Ying wasted.
There is nothing we can do about this, everyone will have this idea...
As long as He Ying misses a single shot, he must bear the impact of this.
Unless he can use goals or assists to help the Chinese team eventually win the game, he will not be able to escape the blame.
※※※
After the game started again, He Ying did adjust his playing style and used passes more to create opportunities for his teammates. He would choose to shoot by himself unless he had no goal to pass.
Judging from his few shots, this assist significantly enhanced his confidence and helped him regain a lot of form. Two shots were quite threatening, although he didn't make it.
Liu Hong was also happy that He Ying was regaining her condition.
But unfortunately, the Japanese team pays more attention to defense after conceding the ball. In addition, after Honda Keiyuki no longer faces Yang Muge head-on in the offense, the Japanese team's offense is more threatening than before.
The Chinese team had to put more energy into defense.
After all, it is the best result for them to beat the Japanese team away, but if they can't win, a draw is better than a failure, right?
The away draw is completely acceptable to the Chinese team, but it is an absolutely unacceptable result for the Japanese team.
So in the last ten minutes of the game, the Japanese team launched a fierce offensive against the Chinese team's penalty area, hoping to defeat the Chinese team.
After the Chinese team equalized the score, their morale increased and they united in defense. Even veteran Li Fengwei performed very well.
Coupled with Yang Muge's outstanding contribution in midfield defense.
Under the bombardment of the Japanese team, although the Chinese team was in danger in front of the goal, they did not concede the ball.
Four minutes after injury time, the referee finally blew the whistle to the end of the game!
"The game ends! The Chinese team lost one goal away, Zhou Yi equalized the score, and finally tied the Japanese team tenaciously!" Liu Hong concluded.
The Chinese players who got a draw were very satisfied, so after the game, they celebrated on the court, while the Japanese players were very depressed - this is their home court, and they were unable to win the Chinese team. Do you still expect to win the Chinese team away? After this game, Japanese players may have a new understanding of the strength of the Chinese team. It is not easy to win this team away...
Zhou Yi was celebrating this draw with his teammates, and Shinji Kagawa found him.
"Swap jerseys, Zhou Yi." Shinji Kagawa pulled the Japanese team jersey on his body.
"Okay." Zhou Yi agreed happily.
The two of them took off their sweat-soaked jerseys at the same time and handed them over to each other.
After exchanging jerseys, the two reached out and held them together.
Shinji Kagawa told Zhou Yi: "Be careful of Australia, especially at their home court. You will be the target of their focus on attacks."
In the previous away match between the Japanese team and Australia, the two sides finally tied 1:1. However, the Japanese team also paid a heavy price in that game. They were shown a total of five yellow cards, one red card, and a penalty kick.
Australian players make full use of their physical advantages to invade and collide with Japanese players at their home court, but the referee turns a blind eye.
In that game, Shinji Kagawa was frequently violated by the opponent, not only was he unable to perform, but he was also replaced in advance in the 74th minute.
Zhou Yi certainly knew what Kagawa Shinji said, so he nodded: "I understand, thank you, Kagawa."
"You're welcome, Zhou Sang. I hope that China and Japan will eventually qualify for this group." Shinji Kagawa said.
After giving Zhou Yi advice, he turned around and left wearing Zhou Yi's No. 23 Chinese team jersey.
Zhou Yi continued to look for his teammates.
There was no communication between the two of them for this ending game.
Because it is really hard to say. If you want to talk about the results and process of the game, both sides may be dissatisfied with it.
But the game has been played, and nothing else is useless.
If you have any regrets, let's keep it until the next time the two sides confront each other...
By then, it will be the home court of the Chinese team.
...
