Chapter 23 The Realm of Perseverance

Japanese football, which has become accustomed to walking horizontally in Asia, relies on its solid confidence in being better at skill, especially at the national team level.

The Asian Cup in China four years ago was able to easily beat Asian powerhouses with a second-tier lineup composed of domestic players, which shows the Japanese's pride that they disdain to join Asian teams.

As for the club level, a lineup that mainly focuses on domestic players who have not been reborn in Europe will still encounter considerable challenges when facing Asian opponents;

Not only will there still be enemies like South Korea who cannot escape death in East Asia, but the good combination of tough bodies and delicate technology in the wolves in West Asia also makes them feel tight;

With the addition of Australian Kangaroos, their nature of fear of physical confrontation has also increased their inner sense of crisis a lot.

However, in this year's AFC Champions League, the opponent who created a huge sense of crisis for the Japanese came from China, which they despise the most;

In the group stage, not only J League champion Kashima Antlers were defeated by Beijing Guoan, but Osaka Gamba, the champion of Emperor Cup, was actually eliminated by Yucheng, a small team in southern China;

Nowadays, when facing Tamaki Tamaki Tamaki, the most proud Japanese fans, Urawa Red Diamond was unable to win in the first round, and fell into a field where he had to rely on his home advantage;

This makes the Japanese who have a strong sense of crisis feel scared. When did the poor and weak Chinese football become so powerful?

After all, their strong strength determines their actual performance. If the national team is strong enough, then they will defeat their opponents from the court openly;

If the club is not strong enough, some unconventional means must be used, just like Urawa fans did for the visiting Tamaki.

Japan is a very obsessive country. The so-called "Yamato Nation's theory of nobleness" is simply a false proposition. When you are much stronger than him, he will be more diligent than anyone else's;

Of course, when you are weak, he will be more arrogant than anyone else when he beats you.

Because of the nature of the nation, you will teach such villains that you will be more fierce than him and will make them look for their teeth all over the ground, so that they will remember and dare not make any more mistakes.

He is extremely strong inside, full of strength, and spares no effort in defense. The team is as united as iron. These characteristics of Yucheng really make the Japanese feel a headache;

It's like a ferocious lion hitting a hedgehog, the feeling of being unable to get out of his mouth is really crazy and has no choice.

Urawa was confident that his strength was above Jade City, but when they watched their opponents calmly deal with him, they could not handle it calmly;

Because this is their home court, the huge pressure from the fans always forces them to swallow their opponents in one bite as soon as possible;

The longer the stalemate, the faster the forward momentum will be converted into psychological pressure, and there is always a feeling of being unable to breathe.

More importantly, Urawa Red Diamonds' performance in China this season is very unsatisfactory. Whether it is the league or the cup, their rankings are very low, and it is very likely to usher in a season without any results;

Under such a background, the honor of the AFC Champions League has become their last life-saving straw. It can not only resolve the embarrassing situation of "zero championship", but also ensure the qualification to participate in the AFC Champions League next season.

Urawa, who had a crackling plan, had no way out of retreat. This is a key battle that concerns their dignity and must not be lost.

After fully grasping the opponent's real psychological situation, Mo Huaqiang had a lot of confidence in winning this game. The dragging technique he formulated became a fatal blow to the Japanese seven inches;

The initiative is completely in the hands of Yucheng. Although they are still behind their opponents by a away goal, they have time to spend with the Japanese.

Japan cannot be defeated quickly, but it can be dragged down. The great Chairman Mao has proved it with practice back then, and it is also very appropriate to use it today;

While thinking about good strategies for Japan, Mo Huaqiang also specially dug out the quotations of the great man;

After careful study, I gained a lot of inspiration from it and further strengthened my correct belief in fighting a protracted war.

The Yucheng player who implemented the coach's tactical intentions was honestly staying in his half in the whole first half;

If you surround your own gate tightly and let your opponent attack wildly, your side will remain unmoved.

Urawa's offensive was very strong, but they had no good way to face the Tama Castle who was determined to defend himself;

The fierce offensive wave after wave were just loud thunder and small raindrops. It seemed lively, but the actual threat was not great.

The inter-sweeping in the first half not only strengthened the players' determination to keep the game to the end, but also further stimulated the Urawa players' idea of ​​laying the victory as soon as possible.

In fact, the home team holding a away goal does not need to get angry so quickly. Keep the score of 0:0 until the end of the game, and Urawa will also advance;

But under the excitement of tens of thousands of fans across the audience, they were under pressure from public opinion and criticized by fans, and it was no longer possible for them to adopt such a mediocre approach;

As defending champions, they can't even win a happy victory in a Chinese team that emerged from nowhere. How can they realize their dream of defending the title?

What the national team can do easily, why can't these samurai who are the proudest samurai in the Sunrise Country do?

Urawa, who had already had his eyes red, had only one way left to fight forward;

Their football must bloom like cherry blossoms with brilliant light, "If you don't have passion, you'd rather die"!

In the second half of the game, the pace was indeed slower, and the Japanese players who were fed with blood even tried their best;

The rumbling artillery fire spread throughout the Jade City half. With one pass and a cooperation, there was a intensive attack in two or three minutes;

Yucheng has worked very hard to defend, but looking at the furious Japanese players, they feel a huge sense of accomplishment from their hearts, which in turn stimulates them to devote themselves to defense more.

During the bombardment that lasted for half an hour, the Urawa players who were unable to break through the goal of Tama City. The physically fatigued Urawa players even developed a very tired mood psychologically;

Everyone is a yellow man from East Asia, why do you feel like these Chinese people are not tired at all?

When they see themselves, they are as excited as if they are injected with chicken blood. Do they have any secret weapons?

Is it the role of Osaka being eliminated by them?

In the eyes of Japanese players, these Chinese southerners are like cheating, with a mysterious color all over their bodies, as if they are blessed by mysterious oriental metaphysics.

After playing so many years, I have never seen any team as capable as Yucheng, and the whole game is surrounded by a fierce attack;

The opponent's effective shots are zero, and their extremely threatening shots have exceeded ten goals in their home court;

Under such a clear offensive and defensive situation, they have to bear this group of Chinese people. I'm afraid that this degree of tenacity is no longer a person on earth, right?

The Japanese admire Bruce Lee very much and called Bruce Lee, who had hurt the Japanese in the TV series, the "Saint of Martial Arts", and had a supreme status as Guan Yu;

These lean and lean players in the Jade City were in a trance and they actually had a bit of the style of Brother Long. Urawa players who suffered consecutive setbacks naturally became more and more disheartened as they attacked.

The home team's unsatisfactory performance is also inseparable from the referee factor.

The referee of this game is from West Asia, although the team in the other semi-finals did not have West Asia team;

But the arrogant Japanese had already greatly humiliated them in their championship journey last season;

Now that I finally have the chance, I will definitely disgust the Japanese;

This time, it was fighting at the doorstep of Japan's home, so the smart West Asian ruling certainly could not blatantly take revenge on the Japanese;

But until now, there has been no red card. In terms of yellow cards, Urawa even has one more card than Tamachi;

The West Asians are indeed very clever, but under such justice, there is a hidden intention of partiality;

While weakening the Japanese's home game benefits, it naturally makes Chinese teams cheaper.

Regarding this subtle relationship, Urawa information provided by Mejikan also mentioned it in detail;

It also includes the preferences and scale of the referee team on duty. Mo Huaqiang, who is aware of the knowledge, also made targeted arrangements.

This 12th man hidden behind it did provide great help to Yucheng. It not only successfully attracted the firepower of fans and the attention of home team players, but also helped to preserve the team's strength;

The West Asians, who used to never like Chinese teams, became the key winner in this game;

It really responds to the famous saying of British Prime Minister Parmeston, "There are no eternal friends, no eternal enemies, only eternal interests."

At 85 in the second half, Naota Kitan was dissatisfied with the referee's penalty and showed an insulting gesture to the referee. He was defeated by Naoki. Urawa Red Diamond, who had been unable to defeat for a long time and was extremely tired, became the last step.

When Mo Huaqiang saw this, he was very happy. This was a gratifying signal. After working hard throughout the game, he finally saw the dawn of hope.

Urawa coach Ojiko also noticed the unusual situation of the team. Given that his side still had the initiative to qualify, he began to adjust his tactics, replaced a forward with a defender, trying to strengthen the defense line and defend the fruits of victory.

In the second minute of stoppage time, the newly replaced left-back faced the ball kicked by Yucheng and tried to use his body to protect the ball from the boundary;

This is a very pragmatic way to consume time, and it is a tactical move that experienced parties often take when leading the way.

This unreasonable normal behavior became very redundant and ineffective due to the arrival of Long Tian.

The Urawa left-back couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief as the ball was about to appear;

But unexpectedly, a blue figure suddenly flashed in front of me, and the ball was taken away;

After running a few meters, I could see clearly the back number of 21, which was the Chinese defender who was known as the "wind-like man".

He woke up in a hurry and wanted to chase after him, but how could he catch up with Long Tian who was stepping on the accelerator?

The other Urawa players did not expect that Long Tian could still grab the ball under such circumstances;

Some players stayed in place, raised their hands to signal that the kick had gone out of bounds, while some players tried their best to chase;

However, all these actions were futile, and the lineman did not raise the flag, so the referee naturally had no reason to interrupt the game;

Urawa players wanted to chase, but they couldn't catch up with Long Tian who was rushing up. Even Vardy, who was in front of Jade City, could not keep up with his footsteps.

Long Tian, ​​who successfully dribbled the ball into the penalty area, went to the meeting alone, facing Urawa goalkeeper Duo Chuda;

Although he still didn't look up completely, he had already sensed the approximate position of the Japanese goalkeeper wearing a black jersey from the corner of his eyes;

At this moment, there was only a simple and direct idea in Long Tian’s mind, which was to get rid of this annoying Japanese as soon as possible!

He stabbed the ball to the left with his right toe, and ran over from the right side. He passed the ball with a strong move, just to eat Urawa, the No. 23 goalkeeper;

Du Zhulongta, who is 30 years old this year, is not so easy to deal with. As the main goalkeeper of the AFC Champions League last season, his rich experience in the competition has made him make the only choice in such a crisis situation;

He dropped the ball, but in the end he tried to chase Long Tian in small steps, trying to knock him down. Even if he got a red card and added a penalty, he would destroy the goal.

Long Tian's left shoulder was pushed forward by him, but he was always staring at the ball not far away;

Even if the body loses its center of gravity, it still pulls its right foot out without hesitation;

He tried hard to catch the ball and slowly rolled into the empty door.
