Chapter 58
This time, the Chinese players cheered, and they all hugged Zhao Yue tightly.
Song Min was the most excited. His eyes were slightly rosy, and he was so excited that he was almost grateful. He said tremblingly: "Zhao, Zhao Yue, thank you so much. You saved me this time!"
Shi Yiming also smiled happily and said, "Zhao Yue, you're so proud!"
Guan Jian happily stretched out his right hand, and the two of them slammed the high five tacitly: "Okay, you are a big confinement school, you have made achievements in two consecutive games, and you are almost a penalty kick expert! Do you want me to call you 'Buffon Second' or 'Chinese Ricardo'? Haha!"
Zhao Yue was overjoyed by the praises of his teammates, and the audience's cheers made his passion reach the pinnacle: "Hehe, brothers, I am behind me, you can rest assured!"
Bohani looked frustrated and put his hands on the back of his head helplessly, feeling that this Chinese goalkeeper was really unfathomable;
He thought that his shot just now would definitely make Zhao Yue frightened. When he did it again, Zhao Yue would definitely pounce on the right without hesitation, so he changed the pull to push in the moment of kicking;
The ball flew straight to the middle, and the Chinese goalkeeper also made a save to the right accordingly, so he thought the fake move was successful.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Yue had a hand in such an unfavorable situation, but in fact he could not defeat his own intentions. Bohani smiled indifferently on the surface, but he secretly complained about his inadvertent choice of footwork;
In the cruel and tragic way of survival of penalty kicks, Zhao Yue once again demonstrated the true nature of a magical goalkeeper, saving the poor and weak Chinese team in dire straits and proved the feasibility of the team's existence.
Perhaps it was the stifling of this penalty that caused psychological pressure to the Iranians. In the following minutes, Iran's offensive weakened and did not maintain an absolute high-pressure situation against the Chinese team's goal like in the previous stage;
The Chinese team's defense gradually stabilized its position, and the two sides returned to a stalemate in the midfield, without obvious scoring opportunities, and the situation on the field was a bit dull.
As soon as the referee whistle sounded, the first half of the game was over, and the two sides exchanged blank sheets, but according to the post-match statistics, China was at an absolute disadvantage: although the ball possession time was only 57%, Iran created 16 shots in more than 20 minutes of theirs, including as many as 10 shots within the goal frame, plus a penalty kick;
China is far inferior to its opponents. They only made ten shots, including only four of which can be called threatening. If the goalkeeper had not been brave and lucky, they would have had more than one penalty.
In the second half, the Chinese team's backcourt and even the goal will be in full swing, and wars will continue. The powerful Iranians will inevitably set off a new offensive frenzy.
After the change of sides, Iran did not make any adjustments to the formation, while China replaced it: the left forward Qian Cheng was promoted to play the striker, replaced Tang Long, and replaced Zhong Zai'an, and the formation on the field became a more enterprising 3-4-1-2.
After 45 minutes of the first half, Lu Juren clearly observed that Iran's right side put huge pressure on the side, with right-back Rudbarian being the culprit;
His unscrupulous assist greatly disrupted the team's regular defense line. In order to limit his activities, Qian Cheng, who was fast, hit his side, can be said to be based on attack and he will no longer be as good as a fish in assists;
At the same time, the Zhong, who has strong defensive ability, stabilized the left side of the midfield and weakened Navidakia's pass support as much as possible.
Due to the lack of one midfielder, the thickness of the Chinese team's backcourt has become thinner, and the pressure on Iran's number one killer Deaga will be greatly reduced. This Bundesliga young player may release greater power than the first half;
However, since things have come to this point, Lu Juren felt that he could not sit still and wait for death. The nightmare experience of escaping death after a fierce battle with Hong Kong made him deeply review his conservative ideas and felt that he would need to change to continue;
The powerful attack power created by Iran in the first half made him feel uncomfortable. He urgently realized that the key to turning passive into initiative is to curb the opponent in offense, and the prerequisite for achieving this transformation is to let go and attack.
After receiving Zhang Chang's pass, Qian Cheng accelerated in a direction change, got rid of Rudbarian who was staring at him, and firmly advanced towards the bottom line;
After a few head-on confrontation with him, Rudbarian understood the characteristics of Qian Cheng. He followed Qian Cheng closely on the inside without any disadvantage;
When approaching the bottom line, Qian Cheng slowed down and approached the penalty area with the ball. Rudbarian's center of gravity fell and focused all his energy to pay attention to the opponent's foot movements;
Qian Cheng adjusted the ball to the outside, raised his right foot and prepared to cross it. Rudbarian grabbed it with a quick step and shot straight at Qian Cheng's ball;
He was quicker, Qian Cheng was faster. Taking advantage of his movement, Qian Cheng suddenly dunked his right foot and suddenly started. He took the ball into the penalty area with the left foot!
He quickly advanced towards the Iranian goal, but because he was close to the bottom line, the shooting angle was already very small, and Lesommani blocked the way again. Qian Cheng had to shake the side and then opened the space and shot;
Mohamadi rushed to the right with all his strength, and focused on Qian Cheng's movements, and the side-hopping movements were about to come out;
Just when everyone thought Qian Cheng would definitely shoot this shot, Qian Cheng used his external instep to push the ball into the middle at the moment of shooting;
Changed shot to pass, this sudden change not only deceived Iranian defensive players, but also deceived the camera (the camera pointed at the goal when he was about to hit the ball, but did not keep up with Qian Cheng's changes. At that moment, the ball seemed to "disappear" from the picture), reflecting Qian Cheng's good flexibility and reflecting his outstanding overall view;
This change was too sudden, and the players on the court, including Mohamadi, were stunned for a moment.
The appearance of this scene easily reminds people of the wonderful goal scored in a Dutch Eredivisie in 2004 after Ajax's Swedish god Taibrasimovic beat five Breda players in a row.
Qian Cheng, a southern player, did fully demonstrate the southern style of the Chinese football team that has disappeared for a long time, and the audience responded with warm applause.
Zhang Chang determined his running position based on Qian Cheng's position and appeared in the most suitable position. There was no pressure from Iranian players around him. Facing the ball sent by Qian Cheng, he kicked up comfortably, and rubbed a wonderful arc on the inside of his right foot. The ball's running trajectory clearly pointed to the upper left corner of the goal.
Mohamadi had already cursed Qian Cheng in his heart hundreds of times, but at this moment he had no time to stop and curse the damn Chinese. It was urgent, and he was not surprised and his steps were not vague at all. He quickly trotted to the left for a few steps and jumped up;
The jump was full of strength, and he held the right hand in the air and pulled the ball out of the goal from the bottom line, which was quite similar to the magical move of England's magic goalkeeper Banks back then. In addition to his shock, his teammates quickly cleared the ball out of the dangerous area.
To say that Qian Cheng's wonderfulness just now represents an arrow through the clouds, Mohamadi shows a strong Roman shield. The confrontation caused by the conflict is exciting and extremely comfortable inside.
The thrilling degree of this save is no less than the plane duel in Hollywood blockbusters, and the Iranian goalkeeper once again showed the audience strong strength;
Combined with Zhao Yue's magical performance in the first half of the penalty kick, this Sino-Iran battle is also a war between goalkeepers in another sense. Whoever performs stably will have the last laugh, and the audience appreciates the blocking battle starring the goalkeepers of the Chinese and Iranian teams with relish.
Although Zhao Yue was only a goalkeeper who came on as a substitute, his performance was no worse than the goalkeeper on the other side after these dozens of minutes of the game. Both sides felt a slight scent of the point-to-pointed match against the wheat;
Although the audience pursues exciting goals, as goalkeepers who appear to destroy their image, they use their big hands to kill the goal. This undesirable move makes the audience even more unable to stop, and they can only be crazy about football!
Rudbarian followed Qian Cheng closely, and his "Bundesliga value" began to show: his position was very clever, and he did not engage in close combat with Qian Cheng, so as to prevent his opponent from suddenly turning around and speeding up to throw away himself;
He is not too far away from him, so he can quickly grab it as soon as possible, preventing Qian Cheng from adding up the speed in a short while.
Although he did not have direct physical contact with him, Qian Cheng felt that he was like a sticky piece of braised candy, wrapped around him all the time, and it was even more uncomfortable when dealing with the incoming ball;
After receiving the ball, Qian Cheng did not dare to turn around or jump straight into the inside because Rudbarian was quick and accurate and the chance of success was very high. He could only drive the ball to run outside. This would automatically reduce the threat coefficient of his own attack. The old-fashioned attacking technique that blindly crossed the bottom could not pose a substantial threat to the strong Iranians.
Qian Cheng and Sun Xinji's forward line combination belong to the "one high and one fast" type, which is somewhat imitating the combination of Ma Kang and Luo Xian. This is also an offensive mode that the team focuses on drilling, but after all, it is a brand new combination. Although there has been cooperation, the tacit understanding between Qian and Sun is obviously insufficient.
More importantly, as the only remaining Zhengyin striker in the team, Sun Xinji existed as a substitute for Ma Kang and has always lived in the shadow of Ma Kang. With Ma Kang's position in the team becoming increasingly consolidated, he gradually became a marginal figure;
After Ma resisted the ban, the coach tried to attack again. Luo Xian, who had outstanding speed, flew to the branch and turned into a phoenix, and he had no day to stand out. This time, Lu Juren was helpless to entrust him with important tasks;
He knew what this charitable appearance meant to him. He tried very hard to show himself, but his short playing time made him as weak as a fish with water. The flaws of lack of experience made him even more powerless!
On the scene, Qian Cheng rushed left and right and tried to cross the natural barrier of Rudbarian. Sun Xinji could only do useless work in frequent off-ball running. His desire for the ball was like a hungry young man!
