Chapter 66 The beginning of the rout

At 16:00 on February 7, 2007, Tokyo Miso Stadium, the semi-finals of this Asian Youth Championship will be the first to play, with the host Japanese team facing the Chinese team.

This Japanese youth team is known as the strongest Japanese youth team in history. The players selected in the team have been tempered in the J League and have performed well;

Because he is the host, he fully enjoys the convenient schedule, has not experienced the fierce battles in the qualifiers, and is far from the trouble of injuries. The well-staffed Japanese team is like a million troops waiting to work, eyeing China's exhausted expeditionary force;

The Japanese team has won all five games in the past 29 goals and conceded only 2 goals. The strong attacking strength makes every team that will meet without fighting.

In terms of playing style, this youth team adheres to the tradition of Japanese football three-back, with a 3-4-2-1 formation attack and defense, which is very aggressive;

The No. 10 main striker Nagata Hatto is the leading actor of the J League powerhouse Kawasaki Forward. He scored 15 goals in five games and ranked first in the scorer's list. His strong upward momentum is amazing;

No. 11's left front midfielder, Kiyotori Kiyotori, who was motivated by Kiyomizu, had outstanding consciousness and accurate passes. He was the main gunner who transported shells for the forward;

No. 8 Central Frontier Captain Kenji Oshima is the most famous player in the team. He just joined the Dundee United Club in the Scottish Premier League in August last year. His superb ability to revitalize the midfield and his magical footwork are known as a hope star who "surpasses Shunsuke Nakamura";

The right forward of No. 19, Tetsuo Sakata comes from Niigata Swan, and his breakthrough speed is extremely fast. He is a fast horse that the Japanese team supports the attack on the side;

No. 17 midfielder Masaichi Watanabe, from Nagoya Haya, has outstanding offensive ability and a wide range of running positions like a freeman, which gives him an amazing range of movement;

No. 6 left guard Yusaburo Fukuzawa comes from Kobe Victory Ship, No. 2 central defender Masaki Nakada comes from Berresol;

The No. 1 main goalkeeper Inukatsu comes from Kyoto, and he only conceded two goals in five games, which is only inferior to the newly eliminated Iranian goalkeeper Mohamadi (the Iranian goalkeeper has maintained a record of zero concedings before encountering the Chinese team). His strong strength always escorts the Japanese team's goal!

Compared with the Japanese team, which was smooth sailing, the Chinese team seemed to be bumpy.

Although the unexpected loss to Iraq at the end of the group stage did not affect the overall situation of qualifying, it reflects the limited level of its own and the instability of its performance;

The 1/8 finals were not difficult to defeat the weak Hong Kong team until the last moment. The poor performance on the field could not make him a strong team;

The 1/4 final was also extremely lucky to defeat the powerful Iranians, and the difficulty of winning was the continuous decline of the main players.

In this game, facing the arrogant host, Lu Juren still "mainly me" and insisted on a steady playing style. The 3-6-1 defensive formation was the same as when Iran was eliminated in the last game;

Sun Xinji, the hero of the goal in the last game, still started and carried the banner of attack;

Zhang Chang recovered well from his injuries, but Lu Juren did not dare to take risks, and the front midfielder was played by Qu Feng, who had excellent performance in the previous game;

Cao Lin and Tang Long continued to occupy the left and central vanguards, and Qian Cheng replaced the right vanguard who was suspended;

Liu Li was activated and Guan Jian maintained a double midfielder position. The candidate for three guards was still Zhang Songshi;

Zeng De recovered from injury and was in an ideal state and volunteered to go on the court. He had a strong desire to play. After weighing the pros and cons, Lu Juren handed him the starting goalkeeper position.

This game vaguely reminds people of the Asian Cup final three years ago, when the Japanese humiliated the host at the Chinese doorstep with "despicable" means and won the championship;

The Chinese team, who is highly keen and low-key, threatened to deal with the Japanese devils, but it broke the hearts of 1.3 billion fans overnight, and the "anti-Japanese" cause was hit hard again;

Interestingly, before that game against Japan, the Iranian team also became a Chinese ghost. Is this time still reincarnated as the scene three years ago?

Everything is just waiting.

Kenna Oshima dribbled the ball alone and attracted the close-knit fight between two Chinese midfielders. Although they were double-teamed, the ball was still lightly passed to the feet of Kiyotori Kiyotori who was unmarked on the left;

Kiyotori looked at Hattori Nagata's position and rubbed a high ball into the air ahead. Shi Yiming, who was distracted, did not force his opponent;

After a sideways, Hattori Yongta faced Zeng De directly and shot a low shot on the side, scared Zeng De into a cold sweat!

After breaking the pass from the downward gang, Masaichi Watanabe took the ball and advanced quickly. After skillfully cooperating with the captain Kenji Oshima in the midfield, he received the ball and faced Liu Li directly. He started and shook Liu Li away and shot directly. The ball hit Song Min and turned the line out of bounds.

Ken Naoshima hit the ball with his left and right, and then shook Liu Li with a clever pass. After receiving the ball, Tetsuo Sakata quickly broke through the bottom line and knocked back near the bottom line. The Japanese No. 9 right front midfielder who followed up kept the ball and directly passed the ball to Nagata Hatto's feet;

In the unfavorable situation of being forced by Song Min, who was unable to turn around and hit the goal, Hattori lifted the ball and then shot it sideways. The ball came unexpectedly, and Zeng De barely pushed the ball out of the baseline in the future.

During the opening period, the Japanese team had no signs of temptation and surrounded the Chinese team and launched a mad attack like water;

The Chinese team still tightened their defense line and steadily resisted their powerful opponents, but they clearly felt their discomfort and panic. After all, the opponent was the host, and every attack was accompanied by the noise like a tsunami.

After Hattori got the ball, he still rushed to the right side of the Chinese team. This is his sixth direct conversation with Shi Yiming in this game. In the first five confrontations, he led Shi Yiming 3:2;

As a single striker in the front, he was very free to run, either left or right, but today he rushed to the left like a demon. Perhaps only Shi Yiming knew the whole story - this was a war between two men.

Hatto Nagata said in Yokohama that the words of the book of War stimulated him, not for the girl he used to be, but for the sake of proving that his ability was still above him;

During the decisive battle, he was completely out of shape, as if he had become a different person, impetuous and impulsive, replacing his previous calm, calm, and calm steps like a master of light skills with internal injuries in his body;

His teammates all cast a concerned look, but he just shook his head. He tried hard to cheer up, but he could never curb his opponent like before. Hatto Nagata became stronger than before, and his own people-to-peer, steal, and blocking seemed so powerless;

He never doubted himself, but at this moment he couldn't stop asking himself: "Am I really not as good as him?"

All of this is actually the reason why Shi Yiming has always avoided it from the moment he entered the venue.

After the national anthem was played, Hatto Nagata hurried to the sidelines and looked at the audience affectionately. He put his left middle finger and index finger on his lips, then spread his left palm, leaned to his mouth, and made a blowing move with affection;

A girl in a purple robe stood in the audience. She clasped her hands excitedly on her chest, staring at Hatto Nagata affectionately, and from her expression, she could be his girlfriend;

Hatto Nagata clenched his right fist and punched his left chest a few times, then raised his right hand and raised his three fingers;

The girl smiled knowingly, smiling happily and happily, and then nodded emotionally to Hatto Nagata on the field!

Although they had not met for six or seven years, the thick coat could not cover the slender and graceful figure. Looking at the graceful expression, Shi Yiming still recognized her at first glance. She was her first love girlfriend, Mieko Tanaka;

Everything in the past surged into his heart, but an incredible feeling of sourness and astringency rose in his heart. Why did a person who had long forgotten feel this kind of heartache when he saw her thrown into the arms of the person he loved?

It turns out that he has never forgotten it.

After receiving Ken Naoshima's pass, Kiyookari kept stopping and directly fucked into the penalty area. Hatto Nagata ran to meet him, and Shi Yiming received the ball and protected him;

Hatto Nagata's movements were very fast. Although Shi Yiming's timely replacement of the position resisted his upper body and stopped him from moving forward, he was unable to defend against the move of the door when he was completely tilted to the side;

Shi Yiming had no time to block it, so he subconsciously raised his left foot and tried to clear the ball, but the ball hit his foot unbiasedly and changed the flight trajectory;

Zeng De, who had made a save to the right, unexpectedly expected this unexpected change. The ball broke through the Chinese team's goal without any obstacles, and the score on the field became 1:0.

At 13′, Japan successfully captured the Chinese team's city, and Hatto Nagata's true gold medal shooter was once again revealed;

The Great Wall of China, which tenaciously resisted the Iranians for 120 minutes, could not withstand the 13-minute trampling of the Kanto Iron Cavalry, collapsed with a bang!

After the ball entered, Hatto Nagata stared at Shi Yiming fiercely, and then roared to the sky happily, as if he wanted to vent all the depression that had been suppressed in his heart over the past few years;

There is nothing more enjoyable for Hatto Nagata to hit the ball into their goal in front of this Chinese captain;

Shi Yiming did not dare to look at him, so he lowered his head, and his dark heart became more gloomy.

Two minutes after conceding the ball, the Chinese team suffered another heavy blow: while defending a corner kick, Zeng De flew over Hattori's header, and collided violently with the opponent when he fell. He was seriously injured in his waist and forced to leave the field.

In just 15 minutes of the game, the city gate was lost. The first goalkeeper retreated due to injury. The morale of the team on the field was disbanded and the organization was messy. How should the Chinese team pass through the remaining 75 minutes?

24′, Zhao Yue, who was on the bench, faced the one-on-one fight, and threw him down. He was sentenced to death by the referee and was directly sent off the court, and was awarded a penalty to the Japanese team;

For the Chinese team, which is already quite serious, this is not just adding insult to injury;

The Chinese team surpassed the regular organization of the youth team and equipped three goalkeepers for the first time, but now it has lost two goalkeepers in just over twenty minutes, and has no choice but to use the No. 3 goalkeeper;

For the Chinese team, which has always relied on goalkeepers, this will have a great impact on morale!

There was no choice but to remove the front midfielder to fill the vacuum of the goalkeeper, replace the goalkeeper with the No. 3 goalkeeper Wang Gongqing;

Wang Gongqing failed to stop Hattori Nagata's penalty kick, and the Japanese team expanded the score to 2:0. According to the current situation, the victory has basically been locked in.
