Chapter 36 Asian Cup Champion

Sun Jingbo completed an urgent and fast pass from the right. Taking into account Sun Jingbo's explosive power and speed, Sainsbury's kept a safe distance. Place your hopes on centre-back partner Spiranovic and goalkeeper Matthew Ryan.

"Oh oh oh"

Center defender Spiranovic and Chinese team forward Gao Lin, who entered the penalty area, had just taken off and had not touched the football. Goalkeeper Matthew Ryan struck out in time. Taking into account the speed of Sun Jingbo's pass, he did not dare to directly catch the ball, but instead used both fists. Hitting the ball out of the penalty area, the Australian fans in the stands subconsciously let out a wave of frightened exclamations.

"Goalkeeper Matthew Ryan struck out just in time and punched out..."

Before Central 5 commentator He Wei could finish his words, the on-site director immediately switched the camera. Looking at the broadcast screen, he suddenly appeared wearing a red jersey with the big Arabic numeral '10' on his back. He subconsciously stood up with his hands on the commentary box, and his voice suddenly Eight degrees higher: "Tang Zheng"

"Oh oh oh"

The Australian fans in the stands suddenly raised their hearts and exclaimed involuntarily.

They are very familiar with Chinese players who have football problems.

In other words, every fan who follows football matches is very familiar with it.

That... the best scoring midfielder in world football!

The Chinese fans who were still feeling regretful suddenly changed their expressions, clenched their fists tightly, and the surging feeling in their hearts burst out from their chests to their throats, and then they burst out: "Ouch, ouch, ouch."

Tang Zheng, who was running, adjusted his pace. His starry eyes were very determined. He looked at the flying football. He took a step forward with his left foot and stood about thirty meters away from the goal. Then he raised his right foot without hesitation. .

"What?"

Australian head coach Postkoglu happened to see Tang Zheng swinging his right foot, and felt a very uncomfortable feeling in his heart, and his pupils shrank suddenly.

In sharp contrast, Lippi, the head coach of the Chinese team, was not ten meters away. He naturally took two steps forward, and his wise eyes suddenly lit up. If you look carefully, it is not difficult to see the word "expectation".

All the Australian players who actively returned to defense focused on Sun Jingbo who was holding the ball, and Gao Lin and Lu Liang who entered the penalty area and competed for the top. They forgot the key second placement, so by the time they thought about it, it was already too late... …

"boom~"

Tang Zheng raised his right foot while running, and all the Australian players paid attention. The Australian player Milligan, who was closer, could clearly hear the crisp sound of the hit. He felt the same as the head coach Postkoglu. Very uncomfortable, as if the goal was about to be knocked open.

Tang Zheng's right foot hit the middle and lower part of the football firmly with the instep. He could feel the ball through the feedback force from the football...

Very cool!

"Shoot from long range without stopping the ball!"

The football was like a cannonball, flying towards the goal with a violent whistling sound without any rotation in mid-air.

Matthew Ryan, who was attacking, retreated towards the goal immediately, but as soon as he took a step back, he saw the football flying quickly. He had no time to stand on tiptoe with his feet, so he could only rely on his strong explosive power to take off on the spot. Zhang He opened his right arm and tried to save Tang Zheng's non-stop long shot!

"Oh oh oh oh"

The Australian fans standing behind goalkeeper Matthew Ryan looked at the football flying toward the goal and let out even louder exclamations.

resounded throughout the sky.

Goalkeeper Matthew Ryan, who jumped on the spot and stretched out his palms to pounce on the ball, was instantly filled with despair, because... Tang Zheng's non-stop volley shot directly into the air was not only powerful but also had a very tricky angle.

The football has already flown towards his parallel area before his right palm is fully extended, so what he can do is just like the beginning of the game, keeping his eyes on the football and not letting the football leave his sight.

※※※

The Australian fans behind the goal watched with desperate eyes as the football hit the upper right corner of the goal like a shell. Due to the excessive force, the football did not fall due to the influence of gravity until more than a second later.

At the same time, huge shouts from Chinese fans swept the audience in the electric light: "Ooooooooooooo!"

He Wei, the CCTV commentator in the commentary box, was full of passion in the fanatical atmosphere, shouting almost crazily: "The ball is in! The ball is in! Another world wave! Tang Zheng, who once again served as the team captain, scored with a goal The powerful and stunning World Wave helped the Chinese team expand the score in the 78th minute of the game! 2:0!! This goal is also Tang Zheng's ninth goal in this Asian Cup! He While surpassing the legendary Iranian star Ali Daei, it also means helping the Chinese team to basically seal the victory!"

Commentator Xu Yang raised his arms and shouted: "Incredible moment! Tang Zheng once again activated his super personal ability like a plug-in! He shot the ball without stopping and once again penetrated the Australian goalkeeper Matthew Ryan to guard the goal! Amazing everyone with his skills is no longer enough to describe him. This goal may bring the Chinese team a continental championship, it’s so amazing! Just like Zidane’s best goal in the UEFA Champions League in the 2001-2002 season!”

New Wolf Sports commentator Zhan Jun rarely lost control of his emotions. He shouted like a bell: "What is a world-class superstar? This is called a world-class superstar! Tang Zheng stepped forward again when the Chinese team needed to score! His The goal helped the Chinese team achieve a two-goal lead in the game! Expanding the score in the 78th minute of the game basically means that it can help the Chinese team seal the victory! Long live the Chinese team! Long live Tang Zheng!!"

British Sky commentator Andy Gray subconsciously shouted: "Amazing Don! Another world wave with an absolute blind spot! He deserves to be the number one midfielder in world football today! It's incredible!"

Commentator Martin Taylor smiled and echoed: "This is Tang! The omnipotent Tang! The Tang who was born for the championship! If you guessed correctly, the Australians have no hope! The Chinese team won this Asian Cup championship just It’s a matter of time!”

Tang Zheng, who scored the goal, looked particularly excited and excited in the fanatical atmosphere. He opened his arms in excitement.

His foot slipped after just two steps, but the impact was not significant. He relied on his super balance ability to stabilize his body's center of gravity, swinging his arms rapidly, back and forth, up and down, venting the huge excitement brought by scoring a goal.

This goal may not be the most exciting goal Tang Zheng has scored in his career, but it may very well become one of the most important goals in his career.

Because this goal is likely to bring him the first national team continental championship in his career!

Tang Zheng, who appeared on the broadcast screen, was particularly excited, with a hint of ferocity on his handsome face.

However, the Chinese fans in front of the TV didn't think Tang Zheng was ugly at all. They even thought he was very domineering, handsome, and extremely manly, so many female fans sitting in front of the TV let out excited screams.

Whether they are ignorant girls, young women who have experienced vicissitudes of life, or older women, they all find Tang Zheng very charming.

On the Internet, there were many comments about wanting to give birth to a child for Tang Zheng.

"Ouch ouch ouch"

Tang Zheng, who celebrated wildly with open arms, ran all the way to the front of the stand where his parents were, raised his arms, closed his eyes, and felt the fanatical atmosphere rushing towards his face.

Father Tang and Mother Tang in the stands watched their excited son Tang Zheng vent his excitement and felt the shock to their souls.

Not long after, the Chinese players who followed closely hugged Tang Zheng from behind, venting their excitement about expanding the score in the fanatical atmosphere.

A two-goal lead is no better than a one-goal lead. A one-goal lead can be said to be the most unsafe score in a football match, especially when the game time is getting shorter and shorter. Once the opponent equalizes the score, it will be a huge blow to the team. of.

At this time, the characteristics of a two-goal lead immediately emerged. In addition to the score advantage, the players can also breathe a sigh of relief and release some pressure, so as to perform better in the next game until they win the game.

The Chinese players in the warm-up area walked around the sideline of the court to the celebration area of ​​the players on the field, and felt the pressure release brought by the two-goal lead.

Immediately, the broadcast screen showed the command area of ​​the coaches of both sides of the game.

Lippi, the head coach of the Chinese team, who was leading by two goals, raised his arms excitedly, waved vigorously, and then hugged his assistants Madaloni and Li Tie in celebration.

Australian head coach Postkoglu's facial expression was extremely ugly, and his venting method was violent. He took an angry step forward, raised his right foot and kicked the water bottle in front of him far away.

But at this time, no one paid attention to the reaction of the loser. Most commentators focused on Lippi, the head coach of the Chinese team, and used all the words of praise.

※※※

When the Chinese players excitedly celebrated the goal, the Australian players on the field were like deflated balls, full of emotions.

Annoyance, disappointment, helplessness, powerlessness...

The overall strength of the Chinese team is not particularly strong, but the personal abilities of individual players are qualitatively different.

Lu Liang, Sun Jingbo, and Yan Junling can all play the main role in the five major European leagues. Tang Zheng is the winner of the Ballon d'Or. His Ballon d'Or voting points are only behind club teammate Cristiano Ronaldo. According to many media reports, if Tang Zheng had not Instead of participating in the Asian Cup, he will go to the FIFA Annual Awards Ceremony. He is very likely to defend the FIFA Ballon d'Or!

Australia's defense was not bad in this game. Players such as Lu Liang, Wu Sanshi, Hao Junmin, and ** were all restricted very well. Tang Zheng was also trapped in defense most of the time and participated in the offense unlimitedly.

But the role of a superstar can be reflected in many games, and it is undoubtedly reflected in this game. Tang Zheng's two world waves helped the Chinese team lead 2:0.

Many Australian players can't help but think that without Tang Zheng in the final, they would have a great chance of winning the first Asian Cup championship in team history at their home court.

But there are no ifs in the world. Tang Zheng seized two opportunities in the limited offensive opportunities and helped the Chinese team take a two-goal lead.

Rather than being led by two goals by the Chinese team, it is better to say that they were led by two goals by Tang Zheng.

Before the start of the game, the very annoyed Australian head coach Postkoglu quickly adjusted his mentality. In other words, his fighting ambition had not been defeated by the Chinese team. He still had one substitution in hand and wanted to turn the tide.

No. 9 Juric replaced No. 5 Milligan, removed a defensive midfielder and replaced him with a center forward.

A very obvious signal to spare no effort to strengthen the attack!

Because defense is meaningless for Australia, which is two goals behind, they need to at least equalize the score in the final time of the game!

Australia's offense, which has a kick-off advantage, is very direct, using long passes and lobs, using Juric's height advantage to find scoring opportunities.

Fortunately, Tang Zheng kept an eye on it and retreated to assist Feng Xiaoting in completing the first frontal defense after the Chinese team took a two-goal lead.

Lippi, the head coach of the Chinese team, reacted very quickly and made substitution adjustments accordingly.

Defensive midfielder Cai Huikang replaced Hao Junmin, a very obvious signal to strengthen defense.

It’s not that the Chinese team used three midfielders, but that Tang Zheng was moved back. He, Feng Xiaoting, and Ren Hang formed three central defenders. The defensive midfielder became Li Kui’s partner Cai Huikang, and the formation became extremely resilient. The 54 formation.

The reason why it is said to be extremely resilient is that full-back Li Xuehe can position himself as the team switches from defense to offense.

From this, it is not difficult to see that Lippi's substitution adjustments are meaningful and maximize the effect of substitution adjustments in limited substitutions.

This...is also the fundamental difference between top coaches and ordinary coaches.

Australian head coach Postkoglu thought Lippi meant to be determined to defend, and then the team could boldly attack and use the final game time to first reduce the score and then equalize the score.

However, the Chinese team's quick counterattack almost extended the score to three goals. Only then did Postkoglu realize what it means to be ginger or to be old...

However, Postkoglu played all three cards in his hand, and what he could do was very limited. The remaining game time could only be changed by the eleven players on the field. To put it bluntly, he could only leave it to fate.

In recent years, Australia's playing style has gradually changed, and they have begun to pursue ground conduction. However, time is getting shorter and shorter, and their offense can only pursue quantity.

Trading quantity for quality means direct long passes.

But Tang Zheng is 1.94 meters tall and has the best judgment of the ball's placement. As long as the ball's placement is within his coverage area, it will be controlled, and Australian players simply cannot grab the placement.

Time passed by second by second, and the Australian players had no choice but to pass long passes without any technical content.

"Ouch ouch ouch"

In the blink of an eye, the game time came to eighty-nine minutes, less than one minute before the regular time of ninety minutes. The Chinese fans in the stands were extremely excited, and the cheers were louder and louder.

At the end of the game, Australia has not narrowed the score, which basically means that the Chinese team, which is leading by two goals, has half a hand in winning the Asian Cup.

Before the end of the regular 90-minute game, the fourth official came to the sidelines and held up the three-minute stoppage time electronic board, which also meant that there were only three minutes left in the 2015 Asian Cup in Australia.

Time is slowly passing, and Australia, playing at home, still has not scored a goal, so many fans in the stands have chosen to leave early.

In the first minute of stoppage time, the Chinese team made its final substitution adjustment. Wu Xi, who is good at offense and defense, replaced forward Gao Lin.

The intention of this substitution adjustment is obvious.

Delay the game!

Considering that they were two goals behind, no Australian players protested.

By the time Wu Xi came on the court, half a minute of stoppage time had passed.

Trailing by two goals and with only the last minute left, the Australians saw no hope. As Tang Zheng controlled the ball, they gave up their counterattack.

Tang Zheng did not rush to pass the ball forward, but controlled the rhythm until the referee Farhani Ariza blew the whistle to end the game...

"Beep~beep~beep~~"

At the same time, Central 5 commentator He Wei was full of passion and shouted wildly: "The game is over! The game is over! The Chinese team finally defeated Australia 2:0 with Tang Zheng's two goals at the Australian Stadium! Won the 2015 Australian Championship Sixteen-time Asian Cup champion!”
