Chapter 26 A Historic Victory!

Tang Zheng passed a through ball with his left foot that was more than 30 meters away. The ball flew quickly against the turf and attacked his right rib, which was the Korean team's left rib.

The on-site director immediately switched the camera, but the Chinese fans in the stands had already made deafening shouts. Therefore, fans watching the live TV saw that Sun Jingbo was the first to hear the sky-high shouts from the Brisbane Stadium. .

Jin Zhenzhu gritted his teeth and accelerated behind Sun Jingbo, but his absolute speed was completely incomparable to Sun Jingbo.

Because Tang Zheng's through ball is very advanced, it is suitable for Sun Jingbo to take advantage of his speed.

With left back Kim Jin-soo and defensive midfielder Ki Sung-yoon out of position, central defender Guo Taihui was attracted by Tang Zheng. Kim Young-kwon focused on Gao Lin, who was accelerating towards the top of the penalty area. This meant that Sun Jingbo could directly rely on his speed advantage. Break the yellow dragon.

Of course, this possibility is slim.

Korean players on the field will make emergency responses based on emergencies. Kim Young-Kwon decisively gave up marking his club teammate Gao Lin and chased Sun Jingbo along a diagonal line. At the same time, his right index finger pointed at Gao Lin, signaling his partner Guo Taihui to pay attention to Gao Lin. of running.

In about three seconds, Sun Jingbo stopped the football with the inside of the instep of his right foot while running at high speed, and Kim Young-kwon, who was not slow, also appeared in front of Sun Jingbo's left side.

If Sun Jingbo chooses to shoot directly, there is a high probability that he will be blocked by Jin Yingquan.

Therefore, Sun Jingbo, who had a clear mind, did not choose to shoot. Instead, he raised his right foot and deceived Kim Young-kwon to extend his left foot in an attempt to block the flight path of the football during the high-speed defense. However, Kim Young-kwon did not completely throw his body.

The Korean fans in the stands were extremely worried, fearing that Kim Young-Kwon would be thrown off focus by Sun Jingbo's exaggerated fake shot and real dunk action.

Stillik, who was standing in the visiting team coach's command area, suddenly let out a sigh of relief, but before he could completely exhale, his heart picked up in his throat again.

Sun Jingbo seemed to put the football back at his feet without any action, but in fact it was for the next pass.

Jin Yingquan retracted his left foot and kept a safe distance from Sun Jingbo. At this moment, Sun Jingbo kicked the football to the top of the penalty area with the arch of his right foot.

Since Guo Taihui's attention is entirely on Gao Lin, midfielder Ji Chengyong has not yet returned to the core position. The live broadcast picture given by the on-site director follows the movement of the football to the top of the penalty area. Fans sitting in front of the TV can It was clear that a Chinese player wearing a red jersey appeared in front of the top of the penalty area of ​​the South Korean team. There was no Korean player marking him.

The big Arabic numeral ‘10’ on the back tells everyone in front of the TV,

who is he……

After a moment, CCTV 5 commentator He Wei suddenly shouted: "Tang Zheng——"

Tang Zheng stopped the football passed by Sun Jingbo with the outside instep of his right foot, and then swung his right foot forward under the watchful eyes of the fans.

There are no defenders in front of him.

Goalkeeper Jin Jinxuan was facing Tang Zheng, and he was extremely panicked. Facing Tang Zheng, who had scored the most goals in this Asian Cup, he felt completely unsure!

Tang Zheng didn't make too many adjustments. He was very decisive at the top of the penalty area and kicked the ball with the instep of his right foot towards the middle and lower part of the ball.

The football flew up into the air with a crisp "Boom~" sound, and then did not fly to the upper left corner of the goal.

The football did not spin at all, just like a cannonball. Goalkeeper Kim Jin-hyun stood in the middle of the goal and did not move his feet except turning his head to keep his eyes away from the football.

It wasn't until the football hit the snow-white net in the upper left corner of the goal that Kim Jin Hyun lowered his head in despair.

※※※

"Ouch, ouch, ouch -"

Tang Zheng scored a powerful and heavy long-range shot from the top of the South Korean team's penalty area, and a deafening roar rang out over the Brisbane Stadium.

At the same time, the voice of Central 5 commentator He Wei suddenly rose an octave, almost crazy shouting: "World wave! Absolute world wave! Tang Zheng's goal helped the Chinese team expand the score to three goals! In With less than twenty minutes left in the game, it basically means that we advance to the semi-finals of this Asian Cup ahead of schedule!"

The commentator Xu Yang continued passionately: "Tang Zheng is in excellent form! He scored his second goal of the game! He further leads the scorer list in this Asian Cup! If his super form can Continuing to the semi-finals and even the final, breaking the record of eight goals scored by the legendary Iranian star Ali Daei in a single Asian Cup! If Tang Zheng really surpasses Ali Daei, we are very likely to make history and win the Asian Cup championship!"

The Chinese fans sitting in front of the TV listened to He Wei and Xu Yang singing together, and in addition to being excited, they felt a little more expectant.

The Chinese team entered the quarterfinals of the World Cup in Brazil last year and won the Asian Cup this year. It seems... not impossible!

Lippi, the head coach of the Chinese team in front of the home team's bench, raised his arms in a rare move to express the excitement of a three-goal lead.

On the contrary, Tang Zheng, who scored the goal, looked particularly calm. He stood there with his arms raised, and his handsome face looked unruly and arrogant.

But the Chinese fans at the Brisbane Stadium and in front of the TV all believe that Tang Zheng is now the most handsome man in the world, unparalleled!

Led by the Dragons Fan Club, the huge chants at the Brisbane Stadium turned into the whole audience chanting Tang Zheng's name: "Tang Zheng! Tang Zheng! Tang Zheng!!"

Father Tang and Mother Tang, who were standing in the stands of the families of Chinese team players at the Brisbane Stadium, looked particularly proud as they listened to the overwhelming shouts.

There were more than 20,000 Chinese fans chanting at the scene. What about in front of the TV?

You can even think of it with your toes. Every Chinese fan sitting in front of the TV is chanting for Tang Zheng.

Zhao Lina, who was preparing to compete in the French Women's Football League, could not cheer for her boyfriend Tang Zheng at the scene, but sitting in front of the TV, she felt as if she were present in person, raising her arms to vent her budding pride.

Her man is so great!

Tang Zheng was used to seeing big scenes and behaved very calmly and normally, but other players did not. They hugged Tang Zheng excitedly, and at the same time followed the huge cheers that sounded above the Brisbane Stadium and shouted loudly, venting the excitement brought by the goal. Stress release.

Immediately, the on-site director showed a slow-motion replay of Tang Zheng's entire goal. The commentators sitting in the on-site commentary box did not hesitate to use any words of praise, and they were full of witty remarks.

Not long after, the expressions of the Korean players who appeared on the broadcast screen were almost the same. The expression "ashen" is very appropriate.

In addition to the 3:0 disparity, the scoreboard at Brisbane Stadium also showed that the game time had reached 71’06”, which meant that there was less than twenty minutes left in the game.

Despite this, the Korean players on the field seemed to have completely lost confidence.

If two goals behind can still see hope of equalizing the score, then three goals behind means that the remaining game time becomes garbage time.

With the current mental outlook of the Korean team, let alone falling behind by three goals, even if it falls behind by one goal, it will be difficult to equalize the score.

※※※

Falling behind by two goals has put Stillik under a lot of pressure. Now falling behind by three goals basically means that the South Korean team will be eliminated early, but he does not want to give in easily!

But when I looked at the Korean players on the field, I could only shake my head helplessly, because the game cannot use tactical adjustments to solve the score deficit. It relies more on the players' unwillingness to admit defeat when they are behind to arm-wrestle with the opponent. .

As the saying goes, when the road is narrow, the brave will win.

However, Korean players now have no confidence, and their state will naturally have a huge impact.

Even the Korean team, which is in good spirits, cannot break the Chinese team's goal, let alone now?

However, as the head coach, Stillik still has to make countermeasures and adjust to the unfavorable situation of the game.

There were twenty minutes left in the game including injury time, and there was no point in defending anymore. Stillik replaced left back Kim Jin-soo with Goo Ja-cheol before the start of the game to increase the number of attackers in the frontcourt.

At this time, Lippi, who had previously remained on hold, finally made the first adjustment of the game on the first dead ball after the game restarted.

Defensive midfielder Cai Huikang replaced the starting right midfielder Sun Jingbo, a substitution that strengthened the defense in the middle.

But...is this substitution really about strengthening defense?

No!

Cai Huikang's appearance can directly liberate Tang Zheng and give him more space to play freely.

Stillik's substitution adjustments not only failed to strengthen the offense, but instead increased the pressure on the defense under Lippi's adjustments.

Koo Ja-cheol came on to replace a defender, which directly weakened the Korean team's backcourt defense, making it shaky in the face of the Chinese team's tough offensive defense.

The Korean fans at the Brisbane Stadium were silent, and many fans even chose to leave the stadium early to vent their dissatisfaction with the team.

In the minds of many Korean fans, they can lose to anyone, but they cannot lose to the Chinese team.

Moreover, they lost to the Chinese team by a huge score, which is completely incomprehensible.

The Chinese fans in the stands were as excited as children. The cheers they created were louder and louder. The fanatical atmosphere even infected neutral fans, making them unable to help but join in the fanatical atmosphere.

It is a pity that Gao Lin and Lu Liang, who were in a relaxed state, missed the opportunity to expand the score to four goals. Otherwise, the Chinese fans in the stands and the Chinese fans in front of the TV would fall into endless carnival.

Gao Hongbo once led the Chinese team to defeat the South Korean team with three goals in the East Asian Cup. However, it was later revealed that some players in the South Korean team were match-fixing, which caused constant controversy.

But it's different now. The three-goal lead is entirely due to the efforts of Chinese players.

If not for luck, the Chinese team would have led by at least four goals.

In the blink of an eye, the game came to eighty minutes, and the scoreboard still showed the score 3:0.

The Chinese team is in the front and the Korean team is in the back.

The Chinese fans in the stands, led by the Dragons Fan Club, made waves of cheers. As the time went by second by second, the cheers became louder and louder.

Many Chinese fans have hoarse throats, but they don't care!

Defeating South Korea with a huge score in the Asian Cup requires hysterical catharsis.

Taking advantage of a dead ball opportunity, the on-site director specially gave a long shot of the Korean fans in the stands.

Compared with the dense situation in the stands where Chinese fans are, there are already many empty seats in the stands where Korean fans are, and there are still many empty seats that are increasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It is not difficult to see that more and more Korean fans are dissatisfied with the performance of Korean players on the field.

The game time continued to shorten, and the South Korean team never threatened Yan Junling's goal in the limited offensive opportunities. Stillik shook his head helplessly.

He knew that there was no suspense left in the game.

In the last few minutes of the regular game, the Chinese team made the last two substitutions.

One of the adjustments is that Liao Lisheng replaces Hao Junmin. The other substitution adjustment is also used to train new players. Li Kui, who only emerged in the second half of the 2014 Chinese Super League, is a defensive midfielder and is strong but agile. , has an excellent sense of position and plays for Guangzhou R&F.

The most important thing is that Li Kui is young enough, only 19 years old, and he replaces the captain Zheng Zhi.

Captain Zheng Zhi was replaced, and the captain's armband went to Tang Zheng's left arm.

When Li Kui came on as a substitute, the fourth official just held up the electronic sign indicating three minutes of injury time, which meant that there were only three minutes left in the game.

Of course, there was no suspense in the game itself. The referee Irmatov considered the importance of the game and did not blow the whistle to end the game in advance. In addition, the Chinese fans at the scene were in high spirits. If the whistle had been blown in advance, At the end of the game, the whistle is likely to be wildly booed by Chinese fans.

In the eyes of many Chinese fans, winning against the South Korean team is not enough.

Because... the more, the merrier.

The game continued, the South Korean team switched from defense to offense, and the football came to Son Heung-min's feet.

The Chinese fans in the stands subconsciously booed loudly: "Woooooooo——"

If you ask who of the Korean players on the field has undiminished fighting spirit, the fans watching the live broadcast of the game will definitely say "Sun Xingmin" in unison, so the Chinese fans in the stands will boo when Sun Xingmin takes the ball.

After receiving the football, Sun Xingmin looked at his teammates who had no sense of response and shook his head, preparing to go it alone.

Facing the slightly immature Liao Lisheng, he easily shook his upper body to gain breakthrough space, and then accelerated forward.

Just after passing the halfway line, Sun Xingmin saw the dark-skinned and burly Li Kui from the corner of his eye, and made up his mind to repeat his same trick.

As a result, just after finishing the fake move to move the ball, the ball disappeared under his feet...

With three big question marks popping up in his mind, Sun Xingmin turned around and saw that the ball had been passed by Li Kui to Tang Zheng, who turned to face his own goal.

My heart trembled!

He didn't have any extra thoughts to think about how the ball at his feet was intercepted by Li Kui. He was more worried about whether goalkeeper Jin Jinxuan would be broken by the Chinese team again...

At the same time, Central 5 commentator He Wei loudly praised Li Kui for completing the frontal defense: "Beautiful steal! Very clean! Li Kui, who is only 19 years old, is an outstanding representative of R&F Youth Training. With his comprehensive defensive ability, he can The midfielder successfully froze most of the foreign players in the Chinese Super League and became inseparable, so R&F fans gave him a very appropriate nickname 'Agui', clinging to the opponent's core players like a fool..."

Ten seconds later, what Sun Xingmin feared came true. Gao Lin, who had repeatedly wasted opportunities, finally received a pass from Tang Zheng and scored, extending the score to four goals.

This goal was also the last goal of the game, and it also meant that the largest point difference between China and South Korea was born.
