Chapter 273 The Powerful Zhouyi

When Wu Lei passed the football to Zhou Yi with an inverted triangle, Zhou Yi won the ball and raised his right foot, which was a posture to shoot directly. E Novel WWW. 1XIAOSHUO． COM

Hasebe Makoto made a sliding tackle, trying to block Zhou Yi's shot with his body.

The fans watching this scene in front of the TV and at the scene were very excited.

Chinese fans hope that Zhou Yi can make a world wave - Zhou Yi's goals are not many, but many of them are world waves.

The Japanese fans were excited by Makoto Hasebe's desperate sliding tackle. They screamed at the top of their lungs, trying to instill their own power into Makoto Hasebe.

But the "Mars hitting the Earth" thing they hoped to see did not happen.

Zhou Yi's swung right foot didn't shoot, but instead dunked the football to the left.

The football just passed by Makoto Hasebe who was shoveling him...

Hasebe Makoto, who fell to the ground, looked back at the football in surprise, unable to believe that he missed it!

"Hasebe Makoto...didn't shovel it down?!" There was a hint of surprise and...horror in the Japanese TV commentator's tone.

After Zhou Yi dodges Makoto Hasebe with a spike, he catches up with the football in one stride and taps the football to the right with the tip of his left foot!

As soon as he clicked on it, Konno Yasuyuki's foot arrived, but because the football was poked away by him in advance, Konno Yasuyuki missed the kick!

There was physical contact between the two, but Zhou Yi quickly dodged it. He jumped up, and at the same time used the outside instep of his right foot to move the ball that was coming from his left foot to the side, and just dodged Yasuyuki Konno.

At this time, he had already stepped on the penalty area line. Hasebe Makoto was struggling to get up from the ground, but where was Konno Yasuyuki? He was still held in place by inertia and could not react...

At this time, Zhou Yi was basically in a single-handed stance.

He was directly facing the Japanese team's goal, goalkeeper Kawashima Eiji who was already guarding the goal.

Ma Yoshida also went to intercept Wu Lei's cross from the wing, and now she is also turning around and running back.

Zhou Yi used the outer instep of his right foot to gently push the football in, then raised his right foot, straightened his instep, and shot!

"Zhouyi——!"

Duan Xin hasn't finished shouting yet.

I saw the football flying towards the top corner of the Japanese team's goal like a cannonball.

Kawashima Eiji, who had just taken two steps, saw Zhou Yi's shot and quickly made a save. But the power of Zhou Yi's shot was so great that Kawashima Eiji didn't even have time to pounce forward. He could only lean back and pounce backwards, extending his arms as much as possible, hoping to lift the ball over the crossbar...

Eiji Kawashima, who is 1.85 meters tall, is the second tallest player in the Japanese team, second only to Maya Yoshida, who is 1.5 meters tall. But for the goalkeeper position, his height of 1.85 meters is not outstanding.

So height is actually a shortcoming of Eiji Kawashima.

But now this shortcoming has become a bit fatal - leaning back makes Kawashima Nagaji's originally inconspicuous height even less prominent. Even if he stretches his arms as much as possible, he can't touch him, as if he were sliding on the flight deck of an aircraft carrier. The flying-like football jumped just one centimeter above the tip of his finger.

Then his head hit the lower edge of the crossbar, bounced down, hit the ground, rushed up again, and was caught by the net above the goal...

The ball went in!

"Hey! Hey! Hey!" Although Duan Xin hoped in his heart that the Chinese team would score a goal, when the goal actually came, he was a little confused. He couldn't react for a while and said "Hey" three times in a row. , showing his surprise vividly.

But fortunately, he quickly came to his senses and laughed loudly and said: "Good goal! Good goal! Good goal from Zhou Yi! This goal was so beautiful! It was like a goal by Messi! Even past Japan Two players from the team fired a furious shot! It was so clean!"

The fans at the scene reacted faster than Duan Xin. When the football hit the net, huge cheers rang out from the sky above He Long Stadium. The cheers soared into the sky and rumbled beyond the sky, like rolling thunder. generally.

“Long live the Chinese team!!”

After scoring the goal, Zhou Yi confirmed that the football had entered the goal, turned around, ran towards the goal, and pounced on Wu Lei who passed the ball to him.

Wu Lei did not pass the ball directly to He Ying in front of the goal, but gave it an inverted triangle, which was a very smart move.

Although Zhou Yi passed the ball beautifully, he must also thank Wu Lei for passing the ball to him.

The two hugged each other on the sideline, and other teammates followed and hugged them.

They celebrated like this near the corner flag area.

Everyone knows how important Zhouyi's ball is.

Although it is a home game and although it has an advantage, if the deadlock cannot be broken and the lead cannot be taken, then everyone will still be a little "unsure". What if Japan is allowed to survive this period and then defeat us?

It's not like this has never happened before.

So it's a good thing to be able to take the lead. At least it can give everyone a temporary sigh of relief.

Taking the lead can also consolidate everyone's previous psychological advantage, making them more comfortable in the game.

"Ah, Zhou Yi! Be careful! Zhou Yi! Be careful!!" When Zhou Yi passed Makoto Hasebe and Yasuyuki Konno in succession, the commentator on Japanese TV couldn't help but scream. Before he finished speaking, Zhou Yi shot the football into the goal. Kawashima Eiji leaned back and fell to the ground, as if a bullet turned into a football had penetrated his chest...

"Ah——! The ball still went in..."

The Japanese commentator sighed.

On the court, the players of the Japanese team also felt helpless about losing the ball. Many of them appeared in close-up shots with frustrated faces.

Zhou Yi's goal really left them speechless - they couldn't even complain about anything.

This is a goal that combines coordination and individual skills.

Zhou Yi's two consecutive fake moves were very smooth, like running water. Easily passed Makoto Hasebe and Yasuyuki Konno.

This scene may be familiar to Hasebe Makoto.

When he was playing for Wolfsburg, he often competed with Zhou Yi's Dortmund. He was very clear about Zhou Yi's ability, so he just used a flying tackle to stop Zhou Yi's shot so desperately.

But he still couldn't stop it.

This is Zhou Yi's ability, he has nothing to say.

Shinji Kagawa looked at Zhou Yi who was surrounded by his teammates, and thought of the first round match between the Chinese and Japanese teams. Obviously, after one season, Zhou Yi has made great progress.

This is actually not something unbelievable. Just look at his results this season.

But Shinji Kagawa still felt a little emotional.

This season he moved to Manchester United and his performance was not bad, but it was still a bit worse than his performance in Dortmund.

He actually knows where this is wrong...

The difference is that Zhou Yi is not around.

When Zhou Yi scored, Gao Hongbo seemed a little reserved on the sidelines. After all, it was only a one-goal lead, and he didn't seem too excited. What if he sent the wrong signal to his players?

It's just a one-goal lead. Although it's a good start, maintaining this momentum is the most test of ability.

He hopes that his team will guard against arrogance and impetuosity and make persistent efforts.

Next door, Zaccheroni shook his head.

Although the result of the match against the Chinese team is not related to whether the Japanese team can qualify for the World Cup, the result of the match against the Chinese team is still very important.

Zaccheroni does not want his team to lose to China.

After the game restarted, the Chinese team took advantage of the lead and continued to launch a fierce attack on the Japanese team's goal.

The Japanese team was suppressed and could only retract their defense. They had no time to think about the attack. Let's make sure they don't concede another goal in a short period of time...

During this period, Chinese fans were the most excited and cheered constantly. Japanese fans are worried.

The Chinese team got consecutive shooting opportunities, forcing Kawashima Eiji to make consecutive saves.

Fortunately, there was no shot like Zhou Yi's. Although Kawashima Eiji was a little embarrassed, he still blocked the Chinese team's shots from the goal line.

The Chinese team's fierce offensive continued until the end of the first half. It was not until the referee blew the half-time whistle that the Japanese team's suffering ended.

Many Chinese fans are dissatisfied with the whistle sounding at this time - doesn't this ruin the atmosphere!

But the Japanese fans were obviously relieved - if they let the Chinese team continue to attack like this, they might even lose the ball!

※※※

Players from the Chinese and Japanese teams left the stadium one after another and returned to their respective locker rooms.

The live commentators handed over the microphone and left the work to the people in the studio behind.

Chinese TV stations were generally satisfied with the team's performance in the first half, but some guests also pointed out that it was a pity that they only scored one goal with so many opportunities. If they could score two or three goals, Isn’t the suspense of this game over?

Of course, this kind of idealistic idea is just an idea. How can it be that simple?

Generally speaking, the atmosphere in the CCTV studio was very relaxed, with the host and guests chatting endlessly about Zhou Yi's goal.

On the Japanese TV side, the atmosphere is a bit more solemn.

The host who was still burning the soul of the second grade at the beginning of the game, now faced with this result, he can't get up to the second grade.

Because what they saw was not only a one-goal deficit of 0:1, but also a situation of being suppressed and not having an advantage.

This is what gives Japanese hosts and guests the biggest headache.

In fact, this game was the first time they saw the power of the Chinese team.

The last time they played against each other, the Chinese team was not in the best condition, and the players were not well-organized. Some of the five overseas returnees were in poor condition, while others were not.

And now, after a season of training, everyone is at their best in terms of ability and condition.

At this time, the Japanese discovered that the opponent they had always looked down on before had become so powerful...

"Will we lose?" The female host couldn't help but ask a question, which made the professional guests not know how to answer, and the male host didn't know how to smooth things over.
