Chapter 183 No Way

Although He Ping felt sorry that Hengyuan failed to score the goal, he also praised Hengyuan's performance and believed that they showed courage.

Especially Zheng Zhi, he praised him non-stop.

"Zheng Zhi is the key figure in this counterattack. First, he intercepted Yan Min's dribbling. In the contest with Yan Min, he had the upper hand. Then, his dribbling and through balls were very decisive. This is very important - if he hesitates during the counterattack, Hengyuan will lose the best chance to counterattack, and Muric will be in an offside state... Although he is thirty-three years old, veteran Zheng Zhi is still as good as ever. , in the first half, he had been conscientious and very dedicated in defense. In the second half, when the team started to try more offense, he became the key hub for switching from defense to offense..."

Although he did not directly talk about the national team, the implication of every sentence He Ping made was "Why can't such an excellent player be selected for the national team?"

Although Gao Hongbo is the head coach who led the Chinese team to the Asian Cup runner-up and qualified for the World Cup finals, there has always been a lot of controversy about him. The controversy that arose before the Asian Cup almost destabilized his position.

Even though it has reached the World Cup finals, there is still a voice that worries that it will be difficult for Gao Hongbo to lead this team in the World Cup finals, because Gao Hongbo's own strength has not been recognized. Some people think that he can Leading the Chinese team to the World Cup finals is already very good. If the Chinese team wants to take a longer road, Gao Hongbo's ability may not be enough.

Some people believe that the biggest contributor to the Chinese team's ability to reach the World Cup finals is not the head coach but the overseas players headed by Zhou Yi. This group of players is so good that any qualified head coach can qualify from the Asian qualifiers as long as he doesn't mess around. The evidence is that when the Chinese national team only had one Zhou Yi, the top ten games were not going very well. Later, Sun Pan, He Ying, Yang Muge, and Guo Nu were recruited, and the national team was on the right track in the top ten games. of. Moreover, in one game against the weak Qatar, Gao Hongbo did not choose to recall overseas players. As a result, the Chinese team lost the game at their home court, making the qualifying situation suddenly confusing.

The failure of this game is also considered to be important evidence that Gao Hongbo has limited abilities and cannot lead the Chinese team to make great achievements in the World Cup.

The Chinese team, which had no overseas players, had no choice but to face the second-to-last team in the group at home. Gao Hongbo's on-the-spot command was criticized after the game.

So even though the Chinese team later qualified for the World Cup, many people felt that the players had the greatest contribution. The head coach’s contribution could not be said to be none or the least, but at least it was not as big as everyone thought...

Now he insists not to recruit Zheng Zhi into the team, which has also caused dissatisfaction among many Zheng Zhi supporters in China. Let him fall into the whirlpool of controversy again...

Zheng Zhi’s outstanding performance,

Helped Hengyuan get a chance to threaten Dortmund's goal. And this is Hengyuan's most threatening attack from the beginning of the game to now.

This attack really frightened the Dortmund fans - when Muric took a shot and Grosskreutz shoveled it, they were really worried that either the football would be shot into the goal or Grosskreutz Kreutz overturned the opponent and gave the opponent a penalty kick. At the same time, he was sent off with a red card...

Dortmund's players were also shocked. They didn't expect that the opponent could hit their goal so easily and smoothly, and they were approaching the city.

With the temper of the European champion, after being startled, it is of course impossible for him to remain silent.

Next, taking advantage of this goal kick opportunity, they launched an attack.

Zhou Yi retreated to the central defender position to ask for the ball, and it was impossible for Zheng Zhi to follow him all the way. After Zhou Yi got the ball, he turned around and led forward.

Facing Muriqi's pretentious defense, he easily broke through and sent the football away.

Unlike Hengyuan's counterattack, Dortmund played short passes and penetration. After all, Hengyuan had already retreated and did not struggle with Dortmund in the midfield and frontcourt.

Zhou Yi was not in a hurry and slowly passed the ball with his teammates to advance the offense. At the same time, during this process, he kept observing and looking for opportunities.

However, Hengyuan still did a good job in shrinking defense and did not leave any obvious openings for Dortmund.

Zhou Yi observed several openings, but after analyzing them in his mind, he felt that they were not good choices.

When Dortmund was passing the ball back and forth, Zhou Yi noticed that Guangzhou Hengyuan might be worried that the space in their penalty area would be exploited, so they contracted harder, which meant that there was a chance at the front of their penalty area.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yi decided to shoot directly from a long distance, catching the opponent off guard.

He passed the football to Yan Min.

After Yan Min received the ball from the left, he took the ball and cut inside again.

Although just now he was intercepted by Zheng Zhi for dribbling the ball and almost lost the ball. But Yan Min was not affected. He still launched an attack into Hengyuan's penalty area with high morale.

His breakthrough attracted Hengyuan's defensive attention, and even Zheng Zhi leaned towards him again, seemingly intending to steal the ball and then repeat his same trick.

But this time, when Yan Min faced a frontal interception, he did not choose to force a breakthrough, but suddenly passed the football.

He passed it to Zhou Yi!

After Zhou Yi caught the ball, he made a slight adjustment and without wasting time, he shot directly!

About thirty meters away from the goal, he straightened his instep and hit the football!

Seeing Zhou Yi's shot, Hengyuan's players quickly came up to block it, but it was too late.

The football passed them by and went straight into the upper back corner of the goal.

Although goalkeeper Zengcheng had already made a save, Zhou Yi's shot was so sudden and tricky that he was beyond his reach and could only watch the football go into the goal from a blind corner!

"Book of Changes——!!!" Marcel Leif shouted in a long voice.

"Zhou Yi's kick... is a good shot!" He Ping was also cheering for Zhou Yi. "The world is in shock! There is really nothing I can do about this ball. It was so beautifully played and completely incomprehensible. This lost ball... makes people speechless!"

"After the Guangzhou team created a threat, Dortmund quickly retaliated. Zhou Yi used his long shot to knock down Guangzhou's counterattack that had just begun to rise!"

After scoring the goal, Zhou Yi turned around and ran towards the corner flag area. Zhu Nibi celebrated, but only halfway through, he was hugged by his teammates and couldn't run anymore.

Although Zhou Yi is Chinese and Guangzhou Hengyuan is a Chinese team, he has never played for Guangzhou Hengyuan before. Hengyuan is not his old club, so he naturally has no feelings for this team. There is no such thing as not celebrating after a goal is scored.

He can celebrate to his heart's content.

His goal also made the Chinese fans in front of the TV feel a little better - since Hengyuan cannot enter the finals anyway, Zhou Yi's outstanding performance still makes this showdown without a loser, because no matter it is Whether Dortmund wins or Hengyuan wins, it is a victory for Chinese football.

Dortmund did not relax just because they had a three-goal lead, and they threatened Hengyuan's goal many times.

Grosskreutz and Royce both missed their shots. Another time, Aubameyang shot in front of the penalty area and was blocked by Guangzhou Hengyuan's forward Feng Elkeson - both forwards responded. Withdrawing to the door, it can be seen how unfavorable the situation of Guangzhou Hengyuan is.

But what surprises people is that in such an unfavorable situation, Guangzhou Hengyuan still did not give up the attack.

In the 62nd minute, Guangzhou Hengyuan's South American Trident created a threatening attack. After Muriqi launched the offensive with the ball, Elkson passed the ball from the left outside the instep to the back of the penalty area, and Conca had already rushed to take over. Position, ready to catch the ball, but Piszczek struggled to block the ball!

"Well done! With three goals behind, Guangzhou Hengyuan did not give up any offensive opportunity. They were still looking for goals... This kind of spirit itself is worthy of our admiration - not every ball The team was still able to perform like this even in a desperate situation. From this performance alone, we can know how much participating in the Club World Cup has improved the Chinese team..."

In the subsequent games, both sides kept going back and forth like this. Dortmund had a chance, and Hengyuan also had a chance.

Here Dortmund received consecutive free kicks in the frontcourt, forcing Zengcheng to make a wonderful save.

Over there, Zheng Zhi suddenly made a national pass and passed behind the Dortmund defense. Muric inserted into the penalty area, but Grosskreutz broke the ball with a first kick...

However, such a wonderful offensive battle did not last long. Dortmund, who had a more relaxed mentality, still had the upper hand. Their strength and psychological advantages allowed them to completely suppress Guangzhou Hengyuan.

In the 81st minute, Royce scored the team's fourth goal.

After leading by four goals, Klopp replaced Zhou Yi.

In the eyes of many Chinese fans, this game is over.

Guangzhou Hengyuan fell behind by four goals and was completely suppressed from the score to the scene. It was impossible to perform any more decently.

Now that Zhou Yi has been replaced again, the biggest highlight is gone.

What else is there to watch in this game?

Finally, when the referee blew the full-time whistle, the score was 4:0, and Dortmund defeated Guangzhou Hengyuan.

Although Guangzhou Hengyuan worked very hard in the game and chose the right tactics. However, the huge strength gap between the European champions and the Asian champions still cannot be made up by relying on the spiritual victory method.

"It doesn't matter." He Ping said after the game, looking at the dejected Guangzhou Hengyuan players on the screen. "It doesn't matter. After the first time, there will be a second time. Accumulating experience is a good thing for us. Come on next time!"
