Chapter 449 The old man talks about the teenage madness
Amidst the sound of cheering, the Chinese team played very hard.The gap in strength is there, and it is the first time for everyone to play in the World Cup, so many people's mentality is still not stable.After discovering that they are at a disadvantage, many people appear to lack confidence.
If you have enough confidence, even if you are inferior in strength, you can still fight.However, after the confidence drops, the real level is more difficult to play.
The most direct manifestation is that after finally getting a chance to counterattack, the martial arts king can no longer even hold the ball fluently.
"The Chinese team's offense has been abolished. The England team looks like they have a [-]% chance of winning the game. The next suspense is when the England team will score."
Seeing the performance of the Chinese team on the field, most of the media made similar comments.As for the domestic media, although they really hope that the Chinese team can thrive, but looking at the situation, they don't think the Chinese team still has a chance.
The Chinese team really needs someone to stand up.
The broadcast footage also cut to the faces of Yan Feng and Lippi on the sidelines in a timely manner.But everyone didn't see any sign that Yan Feng was going to play.
In the 20th minute of the game, the England team completed another shot.Ali's long shot was extremely threatening, but fortunately Zeng Cheng blocked the ball out of the baseline.
Corner chance for England.The crisis continues.
The players on the field of the Chinese team did not relax because Zeng Cheng blocked this shot.All of them looked very nervous.
"Someone has to stand up. If this continues, we won't even be able to last the first half." Li Tie, who was on the sidelines, watched the performance of the players on the field, feeling extremely anxious.
"The current Chinese team is not even half as strong as before. It is too dangerous." Li Tie kept thinking in his heart.In the 20 minutes of the game, he has seen the goal of the Chinese team.
Today's Chinese team failed to stop the England team in midfield.This makes the defense often need to face the threat of Ali, Kane, Rashford and other Premier League forwards.Need to be tired of defending, which makes Zheng Zhi, the soul of the midfielder, unable to try his best to organize the offense.
"It's just that Yan Feng is missing. I didn't expect the competitiveness of the midfield to be so much worse." Li Tie turned his head and glanced at Yan Feng who was sitting not far away.Li Tie shook his head helplessly with the look of anticipation on the latter's face.
On the field, England took a corner kick and was pushed out of the penalty area by Feng Xiaoting.The ball was taken down by the England team again. Wu Xi followed his teammates out of the penalty area and went forward to intercept Ali who was holding the ball, but was dunked by Ali.Then Ali kicked the goal directly.
This time, Ali failed to hit the goal frame and the ball flew out of the baseline.The ball returned to the feet of the Chinese team.
Finally got the ball back.After getting the ball from Zeng Cheng, Zheng Zhi began to organize patiently.
Zheng Zhi used his experience and consciousness to successfully push the ball past the midfield.Then the ball was given to Wu Lei on the wing.
And Wu Lei directly carried out an assault on the sidewalk.Wu Lei, who worked hard, succeeded in the first assault.After leading for a while, Wu Lei was defended by England's full-back Bertrand.Wu Lei failed to get rid of Huang Telan. After several entanglements, Wu Lei was forced to pass back.But his return pass was intercepted by Henderson halfway.
England immediately turned to attack.Henderson started hitting his stride.Wu Xi, who was near the midfielder, hurried forward to intercept.Henderson made two consecutive change spikes, got rid of Wu Xi and continued to attack forward.Wu Xi turned around and continued to chase, but couldn't catch up.Seeing that the opportunity was wrong in the back, Zheng Zhi, who came to make up for the position, used a foul first to prevent Henderson's impact and possible subsequent points.
"Hey, the interception ability of the midfielder is too weak. Wu Xi can't replace Yan Feng's role at all!" Li Tie sighed again.Wu Xi is quite outstanding in China, and was once hailed as Zheng Zhi's successor.But it still falls short of everyone's expectations.Although Wu Xi also has the ability to get in behind, he can also defend.But compared with Yan Feng, the gap is still obvious.
"It really can't go on like this. It's impossible to block the England team." Li Tie made a decision when he thought of this.
Li Tie turned his head to Lippi with a calm face. After a pause, he said, "Coach, I think this situation needs to be changed."
"Oh." Lippi turned his head and said lightly after hearing the words, "Li, what suggestion do you have?"
"I~" Li Tie turned to look at Yan Feng. "I think the current Chinese team needs Yan Feng. Isn't it~"
Lippi glanced at Yan Feng and shook his head. "Not yet."
"However, the situation on the court is too bad. No one can replace Yan Feng's role. If we don't let him play, what else can we do? Now there is no one on the court who can stand up." Li Tie was really anxious.
"No. Some of our team members will stand up." Lippi said calmly.
"Who can stand up?"
"Our captain."
"Zheng Zhi?" Li Tie thought he heard it wrong.You know, Zheng Zhi was in the same National Olympics as him.Although he is three years older than Zheng Zhi, he has been a coach for many years now.Counting on Zheng Zhi, who participated in the World Cup at the age of 38, to carry the Chinese team?
"Yes. We have to trust our captain. I brought the 38-year-old Zheng Zhi to the World Cup out of nostalgia." Lippi said with certainty.
"Oh." Seeing that Lippi was so determined, Li Tie couldn't say anything.Can Zheng Zhizhi do it?Li Tie still had doubts in his heart.After all, Zheng Zhi's age is there.
Yan Feng also noticed that Li Tie was having a conversation, and he thought it might be a discussion about letting him play.The current situation on the field is so dangerous, Yan Feng really hopes that he can play quickly.But after a while, he found that there was no movement from the coach, and he was disappointed for a while.
Now, Yan Feng knew very well that it was absolutely impossible for him to play in the first half.It will be the second half at the earliest before Lippi can let him play.
I have no self.Yan Feng was really worried that his teammates on the field would be defeated by the England team.If he collapsed in the first half, even if he can play in the second half, it will be difficult to recover.
At this time, Yan Feng can only hope that his teammates on the field can hold on.And someone needs to stand up at this time.Who can stand up?Is the old captain Zheng Zhi?
As if feeling everyone's thoughts, Zheng Zhi turned his head and saw that there was no movement on the bench.Even Lippi's face has no superfluous expression.Zheng Zhi secretly clenched his fists.
"Steady everyone first. Don't worry. Lin Fan, Gao Lin, you go up and act as a wall. Xiao Ting, you follow Kane, Mei Fang, you ```" After Zheng Zhi regained his composure, he began to direct his teammates to defend.England's set-piece ability is still very threatening.Zheng Zhi needs everyone to withstand this wave of attacks first.
Under Zheng Zhi's command, the national football players all stood up and followed their defensive goals.After the England team's set kick was taken, the Chinese team who stood in the defensive position grabbed the first point.
That was the end of England's attack.Zheng Zhi took the ejected ball.He didn't rush forward or pass the ball in a hurry, but looked up and looked around while leading forward.
Ali rushed up to steal the ball, but Zheng Zhi dodged it sideways.After Zheng Zhi avoided Ali's attack, he suddenly accelerated.Ali did not give up his duty, he turned around and went after Zheng Zhi.But soon, Ali was shocked.He couldn't catch up with the old Chinese man in front of him for a while.
That's right.In Ali's heart, Zheng Zhi is an old man who should have retired a long time ago.Ali has long known from the pre-match information that Zheng Zhi is a 38-year-old old man on the court.Such an old player, not a well-known superstar, Ali didn't take it to heart at all.And the scene in front of him really surprised him.
"Wow! Zheng Zhi, he has rushed up." The fans all over the stadium exclaimed.Then, the fans cheered again. "Come on. Zheng Zhi, our old captain."
Zheng Zhi was able to rush up, and Ali couldn't catch up behind him.This scene really shocked everyone.Even Yan Feng was shocked.
After Zheng Zhi rushed for a while, he would soon face defense.When Henderson approached, he flicked his feet and passed the ball to Lin Fan who followed up.
After scoring the ball, Zheng Zhi did not stop there, but continued to accelerate and rushed past Henderson.
Lin Fan received Zheng Zhi's pass and quickly passed the ball to Gao Lin who was at the top.Under Jones' defense, Gao Lin had a hard time holding the ball with his back.He tried his best not to fall down.The stumbled Gao Lin gritted his teeth and pushed the ball aside.It happened to be picked up by Zheng Zhi who rushed forward at full speed.
"Stop him." England's Dell hurried over to intercept Zheng Zhi.
After Zheng Zhi got the ball, he didn't wait for Dell to come over, and directly kicked through.
The through ball went right through the England defense and into the top corner of the penalty area.And the martial arts king who is good at running positions did not disappoint, he appeared in this place.
Wu Lei who got the ball rushed forward excitedly, but soon he was defended by the defender.This time, Wu Lei was determined. He gritted his teeth and carried defender Cahill and kicked the ball before he fell down.
It's a pity that Wu Lei was exhausted and unable to exert his strength.The shot that lacked strength was eventually confiscated by the goalkeeper Hart.
"Oh! Just so close. What a chance."
Everyone is a pity.This time the first half has been played so far, the best chance.
Although the opportunity was not seized, the fans still applauded.Applause for Wu Lei who can kick the chance.Especially Zheng Zhi, who created this opportunity, applauded.
Yan Feng couldn't help but stand up this time and applaud his teammates on the field. "Brother Zhi is really awesome. I seem to see him more than ten years ago."
Zheng Zhi's performance this time made many people seem to have returned to more than ten years ago, back to the youthful era when Zheng Zhi was still full of vigor.
"Great job. Zhi Ge Niu!" "Beautiful!"
Everyone is applauding Zheng Zhi.His performance gave everyone a shot in the arm.Especially the national football players on the field were encouraged after seeing Zheng Zhi's performance.
Zheng Zhi's performance did not end there.Next, he began to explain what it means to be old and strong.
After the offensive and defensive transition, Zheng Zhi helped Wu Xi successfully prevent another attack by the England team by virtue of his precise replacement.Then, he organized another wave of offensive.It was only after he crossed the midfield and handed the ball to his striker teammates that he was blocked by the England team.
After returning, Zheng Zhi once again relied on accurate judgment to intercept Ali's pass halfway ahead of schedule.Followed him to launch another attack, but was wasted by his teammates in the end.
For a few minutes, Zheng Zhi's performance was extremely eye-catching.Driven by him, the performance of the Chinese team also improved.The morale of the army has been improved, which makes the performance of the Chinese team better, and everyone is no longer so tight.
The situation on the field began to improve.And all of this was brought by the old captain Zheng Zhi.
Seeing this, Yan Feng felt a lot more at ease unconsciously.I also started to have confidence in this game.
"Fortunately, there is Brother Zhi."
"It's up to you, Brother Zhi. You must take everyone to support it. You must support it until I am sent to the field. Come on!"
Yan Feng was a little excited. Thinking of this, he began to shout loudly to the field: "Brother Zhi, come on! Team China, come on!"
Congratulations to Zheng Zhi!Unfortunately, this AFC Champions League failed to reverse SIPG.It's really a pity to lose on penalties.After playing for 120 minutes, Zheng Zhi was able to score the ball and pass 4 players in a row. In the end, even the referee couldn't stand it anymore.This really brought tears to my eyes.This is 37-year-old Zheng Zhi, the best player in contemporary China!I really hope that in the next few years, there will be more Zheng Zhi in Chinese football.
