Chapter 326 Very Close to the Finals!

After finishing the goal, Chen Zhaoji felt very excited.

Just now he had a long shot and made a big threat, but the ball was still saved by the opponent's goalkeeper Li Yunzai.

This attack followed the fixed routine of the pre-match preparations. Zhuo Zhuo dribbled the ball forward, and he followed with ****hao and Jiang Shihao to keep up with the running. I didn't expect the opportunity to come. Zhuo Zhuo's passing position Very good, so he got a good chance.

At the moment of the shot, Chen Zhaoji had nothing in his mind, so when he scored the goal, he felt very excited and at the same time was surprised that he could score such a goal.

This is a shot from 30 meters away from the goal. In any case, it can be called a world wave. There is no doubt about the wonderfulness of the goal. More importantly, he scored the first goal of the game and helped the team. ahead of the Korean team!

"I scored!?"

"The first goal of the game!? The Asian Cup semi-final goal!?"

"Goal against Korea!?"

Chen Zhaoji was very excited.

After being stunned for a while, Chen Zhaoji raised his arms high and clenched his hands tightly. Then he jumped up and waved his fists fiercely. His excited appearance made people feel like he was insane. , but everyone can understand his mood.

Because, he completed the goal!

Many teammates and Hong Kong fans were even more excited than him. Although they were not the direct scorers, they belonged to the entire Hong Kong team. They celebrated wildly and felt the joy after scoring.

At the same time, various media commentators also kept reporting the goals.

After repeating the scoring screen over and over again, the commentator also began to introduce Chen Zhaoji, who scored goals, not to mention in the world, in Asia, even in China and Hong Kong football, Chen Zhaoji is not famous, compared to Zhuo Zhuo's stable position in the Chinese Hong Kong team is much worse than Chen Zhaoji's, because he has always been a substitute player in Hong Kong, China.

The results of the Chinese Hong Kong team are in a mess, and their reputation is not even as good as that of the 'Hong Kong Chinese Star United Team', so it is conceivable to know how many names of 'Chen Zhaoji' are known.

But as Liu Jianhong, a commentator from Central TV, said, after this game, many fans will know Chen Zhaoji's name.

In the Asian Cup, Chen Zhaoji almost became famous in one battle.

Including this goal, Chen Zhaoji has scored a total of three goals, China has scored a total of eight goals, he and Zhuo Zhuo have scored three each, and the number of goals is tied for second in the Asian Cup scorer list.

An unknown player from Hong Kong, China can be on the Asian Cup scorer list. It is conceivable how many people will know Chen Zhaoji's name in the future. It is also conceivable that after the Asian Cup, there will definitely be higher and better contracts, etc. follow him.

After Chen Zhaoji scored, there was not much time in the first half.

The game restarted, and the time had entered the stoppage time. There was not much delay in the first half. The referee only gave 2 minutes of stoppage time. After a wave of attacks ended, the end whistle sounded.

Both teams returned to the locker room to rest.

The expressions of the players of the two teams were completely different. All the players from Hong Kong, China walked off the court talking and laughing. Many people were still talking about the goal just now. The whole team was satisfied with my relaxed atmosphere; They all walked off the court without saying a word. Many players felt very depressed when they remembered the score behind. Before the game, they never thought that they would be behind at halftime in the game with Hong Kong, China.

At halftime, the media also talked about the game.

They just talked about the situation in the first half, analyzed the situation of the game, and the relevant media respectively 'made suggestions' for the two teams. Of course, they said that these are meaningless at all, they just made a simple analysis for the fans, and published some 'self-made suggestions'. think right' view.

While talking about the situation, Chen Zhaoji's goal must also be talked about. Many media continue to praise Chen Zhaoji, and they also analyze Hong Kong's style of play.

In fact, many media commentators were surprised by the solid defense of Hong Kong, China.

Throughout the first half, the South Korean team seemed helpless in the face of the solid defense of Hong Kong, China. They were completely unable to break the defense of Hong Kong, China, and they did not pose much threat to the goal of Hong Kong, China during the half-time.

South Korea's national sports TV commentator Park Yongxin said, "Hong Kong, China's defense is very solid. Their orderly defense across the board makes the area around the penalty area airtight. Now for the South Korean team, how to break through the defense of Hong Kong, China has become the key!"

"In the first half, Verbek's South Korea team still seemed to have nothing to do. We hope to see Verbek make some adjustments to the offense in the second half to make the South Korean team's offense more penetrating."

Park Young-shin talked about 'penetration', which is important.

The 'penetration' of the attack means that the football can penetrate the defense and pose a threat to the goal. The Korean team did not play penetrating in the first half, so it did not pose much threat to the goal of Hong Kong, China. D

This point, Verbeck is also very clear.

The Dutchman watched the first half of the game carefully and was very surprised by the solid defense of Hong Kong, China, because in his understanding, any defense has loopholes, and Hong Kong did not completely give up offense, so their defense could not be like this. stable.

But the fact is in front of us, the South Korean team did not get a chance for a half.

How did Hong Kong, China do it?

During the intermission, there were many defensive images of Hong Kong, China in the first half, constantly lingering in Verbek's mind. He has been thinking about these things, but he has no clue at all.

Verbeck subconsciously felt that there must be a problem with Hong Kong's defense, but he just couldn't think of the problem.

So at half-time, he can only encourage the players to continue to work hard and make a little adjustment to the starting lineup - replace a striker, replace a striker.

It's almost as if no adjustments have been made, just expecting the new forwards to perform a little better.

Then the second half of the game can be imagined.

————

At the beginning of the second half, when Wansheng saw the adjustments Verbeek made, he also laughed confidently.

As he thought, the Dutch did not see through his own defensive strategy, so the team's defense will also be very solid in the second half.

Before the match, Wansheng only had a 50% certainty of the game, but now the certainty has increased to 80%. As long as South Korea does not perform extremely well in an explosive manner, then there is basically not much suspense about the outcome.

However, the Korean team's offensive was still very fierce. In the second half, they continued to attack Hong Kong, China. Even if they didn't understand the loopholes in Hong Kong's defense, after all, after one half, how much did the Korean players defend against Hong Kong, China? I got used to it, and after adding some cooperation, I can still pose a threat to the goal of Hong Kong, China.

In the 53rd, 68th and 73rd minutes, the South Korean team had three very good chances. In the 68th minute, South Korean striker Cho Jae-jin even had a chance to face the goalkeeper.

However, the weakness of the 'Korea Second Team' in front of the goal was revealed. He had three good chances but failed to score a goal. Cao Jae-jin's shot even went straight out of the bottom line and didn't even enter the goal frame. , which made the Korean fans feel depressed. They felt that the team had hoped very much, and these few goals ruined all the chances.

Wansheng saw the good opportunity of the Korean team and was very worried about the goal. When he saw that the Korean team did not score, he let out a long breath.

In fact, from lower-level teams to top teams, many have the problem of 'weakness in front of goal', which mainly depends on the ability, experience and mentality of the strikers, as well as their temporary performance.

Therefore, those players with stable and excellent performance in front of goal can quickly become famous, such as Van Nistelrooy, Henry, Anelka, Torres, Gilardino, Cassano, Klose, Inzaghi...etc. This is the case. Their personal abilities are not necessarily very outstanding, but they all have a stable mentality and performance in front of the goal. Whenever there is a chance, they can send the ball into the goal, which is the most crucial thing for a striker.

There is no such player in Hong Kong, China, but the key is that Wansheng has coaching skills.

For example, Zhuo Zhuo and Chen Zhaoji are not very good in terms of personal ability, but with the addition of 'shooting', 'long-range shooting ability increase' and various coaches' skill attribute evaluation bonuses, they can always be good in front of the goal. Performance, one or two good performances can also give them confidence. Confidence is very important for a striker. After they have confidence, their performance in the future will be more stable and outstanding.

On the field, the game between the South Korean team and Hong Kong, China was still very fierce. With the confrontation between the two teams, the game time passed quickly. In a blink of an eye, 35 minutes passed in the second half.

The game has entered the final stage, the score is still 1:0, China Hong Kong leads.

Some fans who have just turned on the TV will immediately think that the Korean team is leading when they see the score, but after paying close attention, they surprisingly find that Hong Kong, China is leading!

"The game is almost over, Hong Kong, China is still ahead?"

Many fans thought it was incredible, but the game was like this. After more than 80 minutes of hard work, the South Korean team still did not break the gate of Hong Kong, China.

At this time, the Korean team made a substitution, and Verbek replaced a defender with Cui Chenguo.

This adjustment immediately caught Wan Sheng's attention. He turned his head to look at the Korean coach's bench, and Verbek looked over at the same time. The two exchanged their eyes in the air. Verbek's eyes were full of resentment, while Wan Sheng smiled warmly. He knew that the Dutch finally saw through their tactics.

However, eighty minutes have passed, and now to see through...too late!

Verbeck really understood the defense method of Hong Kong, China. He always felt that the defense of Hong Kong, China should not be so solid before. There must be some problems, but Hong Kong, China's backcourt movements are very complicated, making it difficult for people to understand them. How did he run, and the formation was a bit messy when defending, so it was not easy to understand.

However, after another 20 minutes in the second half, the South Korean team made several passes from the middle, and it was easy to penetrate the defense line of Hong Kong, China.

The discovery surprised Verbeck.

Generally, the team defends, the position in front of the penalty area is the densest, and this will definitely be the focus of defense, so that when the opponent is attacking, they rarely attack directly from the middle, and they often use two wings to support them. to find opportunities.

The "South Korea Second Team" is even more extreme, because there are several Korean stars who are not on the call-up list, so their offense is mainly played on two flanks, and they rarely go to the center of the attack. They subconsciously feel that the defense there It will definitely be more rigorous.

Therefore, when it was discovered that the middle lane was the weak point of Hong Kong, China, Verbek knew that he was being played by the opponent.

Thinking about the embarrassment at yesterday's press conference, and thinking about being played tactically on the court now, Verbek gnashed his teeth at Wan Sheng.

If I had known that Hong Kong, China was playing like this, wouldn't it be better to directly attack the middle lane?

After affirming his own thoughts, Verbek immediately chose to replace a midfielder in the middle, and came to the sidelines to tell the players that they should continue to look for opportunities in the middle.

At the same time, Wan Sheng also came to the sidelines and told the team to do the final defensive work.

The final defensive work is to give up most of the offense and concentrate everyone in the backcourt, so that the defense in the middle will also be solid.

As long as you last until the last time, the game is won.

Of course, Hong Kong, China can't defend like this for the whole game, but it is nothing to continue defending for ten minutes when they are leading.

Hold is victory, everyone understands this truth.

So after the Korean team made adjustments, Hong Kong, China also made adjustments soon. What the Korean team had to face was how to break the solid defense line composed of 11 people from Hong Kong, China within ten minutes.

Then it became clear that it was even harder for South Korea to score.

At this time, the South Korean team was attacking with almost everything, and soon Verbek used up the last substitution quota in order to increase the efficiency in front of the goal.

But in Hong Kong, China, all the players are defending. At this time, they are like a classic metaphor of Mourinho. That kind of strict defense makes it harder for the Korean team to attack.

Hong Kong, China has completely abandoned the offense and put all their experience in front of the goal. Every player knows that as long as they persist for a few minutes, the team can win and they can get close to the final.

Under this kind of encouragement, the players of Hong Kong, China have high fighting spirit, and they have worked harder on the field.

On the contrary, the South Korean team is very anxious to score goals, and the attack is very anxious, and the threat to the goal of Hong Kong, China is even smaller.

In this situation, time passes by every minute and every second.

3 minutes.

1 minute.

30 seconds.

All Hong Kong fans have already started the countdown, while South Korean fans are anxiously watching the game, hoping that the team can score a goal at the last minute.

It is a pity that in the end, the South Korean team still failed to break the gate of Hong Kong, China.

"Beep..."

When the referee blew his long whistle, the game was over.

All the players, fans and supporters in Hong Kong, China cheered wildly. (To be continued ~^~.)
