Vol 5 Chapter 155: Thunder in the silent place

"Beep ~ beep ~ beep ~ ~"
With the three long whistle of the referee Chakil, the regular time of the last semi-final of the 2018 World Cup in Russia was declared to be over at 90 minutes. The 30-minute overtime of the Chinese team and the English team is coming, Rouge The fans at the Nikki Stadium continued their passion, releasing a loud deafening voice.
"Aoao Aoao--"
The live guide first tried to give the enthusiastic fans in the stands a long-range shot, and then gave the core players of both sides of the game, especially the captains of both sides.
However, the expressions of the two captains are slightly different. The captain of the Chinese team, Tang Zheng, is still that light and relaxed expression. The captain of England, Harry Kane, has a heavy face.
After all, England, which had better overall strength before the game, was optimistic by the mass media. Harry Kane scored a total of six goals until the current World Cup. Just like Tang Zheng, he is a popular Golden Boot Award winner at the World Cup, only ninety. Minutes passed, no achievements were made, and even the shot that hit the goal did not appear, which put him under some pressure.
Although the English Football Association said before the World Cup that the team would complete the task as long as the group came out, but the game came to the semi-finals, anyone will have a further idea, whether it is a player or an official of the Football Association.
In addition, the developed English media continued to brag when England advanced to the semi-finals, thinking that England defeated the Chinese team to advance to the World Cup finals is a nail, but 90 minutes after the regular game but failed to score goals, as the captain Harry Kane What a heavy psychological pressure.
Other English players are not much better, and their faces are heavy.
Of course, most of the Chinese players except Tang Zheng also have a heavy face. After all, the game comes to overtime, which means that no one can make a mistake.
Once you make a mistake, it is always regrettable.
A further step is the final, a game that can compete with France for the championship.
The losing side can only compete for a third place with Belgium, who lost in the semifinals, which is basically a meaningless game.
Who is the likely champion, who would want to be eliminated?
It stands to reason that there is no rest time before the start of overtime, but the referee Chagier gave the two players a breathing time of about two minutes at his discretion, which is used as the head coach's tactical arrangement and the players add water.
Yang 5 commentator He Wei worriedly said: "The game entered overtime, which is a big burden for the Chinese team. The quarter-final played against Portugal for 120 minutes and finally won the penalty shootout. To advance to the semi-finals, there is not enough four days of rest and the more important semifinals. Physical fitness is a problem. England has an advantage in physical fitness over Sweden in the quarter-finals.
"But fans who sit in front of the TV don't have to worry about it," commentary guest Xu Yang explained patiently: "Overtime is also a huge pressure for England, but our players have the ability to threaten the English goal, so as long as Our players are focused enough to still hold the draw, and with some luck, it is even possible to win the game and create the best results for the new Asian team in the World Cup. "
British Sky commentator Andy Gray frowned, and said in a deep voice: "England's dominant England was dragged into overtime by the Chinese team. This is not good news, because the Chinese team had added in the quarter-finals. The draw at the time of the game and the experience of winning the penalty shootout is a huge improvement for the Chinese team. "
"Old folks ~ don't be too pessimistic, there are still game time, with Harry Kane and Jamie Vardy sitting on the front line, I think the Chinese team with a decline in physical fitness may not be able to withstand the impact of the top two Premier League shooters."
Commentary guest Martin Taylor ’s voice just fell, and Andy Gray suddenly smiled, but Martin Taylor suddenly changed his voice: "Hey ~ But this is to build on the foundation of Tang ’s poor performance, of course ... the win in England is still Very high, higher than England. "
Martin Taylor knew a lot of words were enough, so I did n’t say much. As the screen changed, the topic changed:
Don and Harry Kane are going to guess the ball. I do n’t know what will happen in the 30-minute overtime, but That is not something we can guess right now, it can only be revealed through the game ... "
"Aoao Aoao--"
Along with the huge cheers from Luzhniki Stadium, Tang Zheng and Harry Kane moved to the center line to make final preparations for the second half of extra time.
In the end, Harry Kane won the right to pick the edge, and the Chinese team represented by Tang Zheng automatically got the kick-off right.
※※※
"Beep ~"
The Chinese team and the England team announced the official start of the first half of overtime in the first half of the referee Chagiel.
The Chinese team with the kick-off advantage is not eager to organize the forward attack, but controls the rhythm of the game through the midfield and backcourt, and consumes as much time as possible.
After all, the overall strength of the Chinese team is not as good as that of England. Especially when Valdy came off the bench, the pressure he put on the Chinese team ’s back line was increasing geometrically, so that captain Tang Zheng had to return to the penalty area to assist the team in defense. .
However, the problems brought about by the decline in physical fitness are very serious. Even if Tang Zheng deliberately did this, Deng Hanwen, whose physical and psychological effects were affected to varying degrees, was very panicked in the face of Rushford's pressure and finally chose a big foot.
Football control is changed.
England turned from defense to offense, and the offense slowly advanced under the organization of Henderson and Dale, but encountered difficulties in advancing to the 35-meter area.
In order to avoid losing the ball, the offensive direction had to be split from the middle to two sideways, with opportunities created by Rashford, Trippil and Ashley Young.
Li Xuepeng and Deng Hanwen are under great pressure, but fortunately, the protection of the middle road in the restricted area is in place. When Gao Zhongyi, Zhang Linpeng and Liu Yiming are all in place, there are Tang Zheng and Li Kui taking turns to defend. The goal poses a direct threat.
However, the defending Chinese team is slightly tired on the offensive end. The small-scale cooperation of Lu Liang, Sun Jingbo and Ye Erfan is not enough, and it cannot threaten Pickford to guard the goal.
In the blink of an eye, in the past three minutes of overtime in the first half, the Chinese team had very few opportunities to control the ball. Two minutes later, the live guide gave a close-up shot of Lippi on the stands and Madroni standing in front of the Chinese coach. .
The meaning is obvious, should the fourth adjustment be made when the Chinese team cannot form a threat.
Immediately afterwards, the rebroadcast pictures were sent to Hao Junmin, Liu Ruofan and Zhang Xizhe.
Because with Tang Zheng's full attention on defense, only the Chinese team Hao Junmin, Liu Ruofan and Zhang Xizhe can help the Chinese team.
However, the Chinese team, whose overall strength is inferior to England, must first defend firmly, followed by offensively.
The tournament system like the World Cup is different from the league. Only when the defense is in an undefeated position can an offense be considered.
The Chinese team, which has insufficient defensive capabilities, has no reason to consider attacking, otherwise the Chinese team will not replace Liu Yiming at the end of the second half.
There are still more than 20 minutes in overtime and no adjustment is possible.
If there was another red card in the quarter-finals, there would be no place to cry.
England coach Southgate is also worried about this kind of change, so he did not make substitution adjustments in the case of the team's offense without scoring, so as to keep changing.
"Aoao Aoao--"
The game entered a state of stalemate, but did not affect the excitement of the fans at the scene. As always, they created a huge wave of loud voices after wave.
In a fanatical atmosphere, Chinese players on the field are getting better and better.
In the ninety-ninth minute, Tang Zheng made an accurate long pass to find Lu Liang who was inserted on the left high-speed. If Ye Erfan receiving the ball was too big, the Chinese team is likely to overtake the score in the continuous passive defense.
"It's a pity! The teenager Ye Erfan appeared too nervous during the rare counterattack, otherwise it would be possible to overtake the score!"
Yang 5 commentator He Wei said passionately.
"In the final analysis, it is the lack of game experience. Ye Erfan is only 20 years old this year. There is no limit to the future, but these are the tuition fees that must be paid when he is young. I hope he can seize the opportunity and help in the next game time. The Chinese team defeated England in a blast! "
Commentator Xu Yang said.
The Chinese team's quick counterattack is equivalent to sounding the alarm for England, so England coach Southgate complained on the sidelines after the team immediately made a continuous double-push action towards the players on the court, meaning that the team should be stable Come and kick, you can't have this kind of mistakes that should not be there.
England slowed down the offensive rhythm, and the defensive pressure of the Chinese team greatly reduced. Captain Tang Zheng noticed that there were less than two minutes before the end of the first half of overtime. He then reasonably controlled the game rhythm and consumed the game time reasonably.
Because the net time in the first half of the overtime is very long, the referee Chagier sounded the end of the first half of the overtime whistle just after the fifteenth minute of overtime.
Compared with before the start of overtime, there is no rest time before the start of the second half of the overtime. Both sides of the game directly enter the second half of the overtime.
"Beep ~"
The referee Chagiel whistle, which means the official start of the second half of overtime.
If there is no way to win or lose in the second half of overtime, the game will enter a brutal penalty shootout.
But compared to sudden death, whether it is England or China, I hope the game can enter the penalty shootout.
After all, as long as the penalties are seized the opportunity, there is a chance to win the game and advance to the final.
If the other party is suddenly killed, it means to be eliminated.
Which one is better or worse, people with good eyes can distinguish.
"In the second half of overtime, the physical fitness of the players on both sides of the game is obviously reduced, so this time the test is the concentration of the players on both sides of the game, the offense can easily lose the ball, but the defense can not, I hope our guy can clenched his teeth At this time, the test is more fighting spirit, in this regard ... I am not worried, the game at the Fisht Olympic Stadium four days ago is the best explanation ... "
In He Wei's rhetoric, the game came to the 107th minute of the game, and England took the lead in making the fourth substitution adjustment.
Cheek replaced Henderson.
Through this substitution adjustment, it is not difficult to see that Southgate hopes to win in overtime, but his idea is based on the team's defense not to lose the ball first.
However, there are not many people who have invested in the offensive. The pressure on the single midfielder Dell is not particularly great. Putting on Chirk is to increase the change in the offensive in the middle.
Lippi frowned in the stands. He wondered whether he should continue to strengthen his defense and strive to drag the game into the penalty shootout.
But thinking about it, strengthening the defense may not be able to hold the score. As time decreases and the player's defense time increases, the pressure felt is also rising linearly. It is very likely that a crash will occur.
If you want to change the current situation, you should strengthen your offensive!
It happened that Lu Liang had cramps, and Lippi made the latest instructions to his assistant Madroni through technical means.
In the 113th minute, the Chinese team made the last substitution adjustment using the opportunity of the frontline.
Hao Junmin replaced Lu Liang, who was nearly exhausted.
Regarding the Chinese team's substitution adjustment, the central 5 commentator He Wei was a little puzzled: "At this time, it should be the wisest choice to switch to a defensive player."
As soon as the voice fell, He Wei thought that continuous defense might not be a good thing, so the voice changed: "Hao Junmin, who tried to change into a very good organization, may have a significant role in promoting the offensive of the Chinese team. Defensively, it is difficult for him to directly participate in the offensive at this time in the game ... "
Li Xuepeng threw a sideline ball ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Football held the ball under the control of Ye Erfan, Sun Jingbo and Hao Junmin.
Perhaps because of less and less game time, English players are also worried about defense problems, including Harry Kane and Valdy both returning to their own half to participate in defense.
As a result, Tang Zheng was involved in the team's offense in the past.
Tang Zheng received a cross pass from Deng Hanwen about 40 meters from the goal on the offensive midfield. Harry Kane and Rashford rushed in respectively. Tang Zheng made an illusion that Hao Junmin would pass the ball. The foot slammed the ball forward and accelerated.
Harry Kane and Rashford didn't expect Tang Zheng to accelerate, but they were not defensive players. They reacted half a beat slow, and the foul was too late.
Fortunately, Curious Ke focused on Tang Zheng, and the two breathed out.
But at this moment, Tang Zheng suddenly lifted his left foot while running, and took a shot at a distance of about 37 meters from the goal, and used his left foot, which is not commonly used.
Cheek thought it was too late to block, or that it was too late to dodge. The football flew past its side like a cannonball and flew to Pickford to guard the goal.
"Tang Zheng--"
The same is true for Yang 5's commentator He Wei: "Shoot!"
Maguire, Stones and Dale all turned their heads subconsciously, staring at mid-air football. Tan Men was shocked, because the football that flew to Pickford to guard the goal did not have any rotation in mid-air, and ... angle, The ball speed is very good.
Listen to thunder in the silent place!
The declining fanatical atmosphere rose to the extreme at this moment, the loud cries made by Chinese fans and the exclamations made by English fans were like boiling water.
