Vol 4 Chapter 1190: Veteran never die

Before the third round of the group stage, the situation in Group C was generally clear.
Colombia's two-game winning streak basically advanced, Côte d'Ivoire was basically out of two consecutive losses, and the rest is the second group battle.
China and Greece are one win and one loss, and according to the promotion rules of the World Cup group stage, because Greece lost to Colombia in the first round of the match three to three, behind in the goal difference behind the Chinese team, so Greece in the group The qualifying situation is very unfavorable.
In the final round, Greece could only advance through defeating China.
For China, a draw can advance.
This should have been extremely good news, but for China, for Chinese players and fans, this is a worrying situation, because in the past few decades, the Chinese team has always confirmed one point after another, That is, a draw can advance, which equals defeat.
In recent years, with the emergence of a group of players such as Yang Yang, the overall strength of the Chinese team has improved a lot, but this nightmare still hangs over the top of Chinese football, because it has brought too many painful nightmares.
More importantly, the Asian teams in this World Cup are still as weak as ever.
Australia lost three teams in three battles and the bottom of the group, but considering that they are in the death group with the Netherlands, Chile and Spain, even Spain has failed to qualify for the group, then Australia is at the bottom.
But South Korea and Japan are also the bottom of the points, and these two teams are even and two losses, one game unbeaten.
Only the Chinese team won a victory against Côte d’ Ivoire. This is the only victory of the Asian team in this World Cup. People have to admit that the Chinese team is indeed the strongest team in Asia.
Of course, according to some foreign media, this is the Chinese team that owns Yang Yang.
Under this circumstance, China's focus game against Greece is undoubtedly more noticeable.
One is an upstart from Asia, and it can even be said to be an Asian overlord. The other is Greece, who won the European Cup with a dark horse ten years ago. The two teams compete for the second place in the group, attracting Asian and European fans. Strongly concerned.
...
When it comes to Greece, one has to mention the 2004 European Cup.
The Chinese national team coach Queros mentioned many times before the World Cup that Greece was ten years ago, and Yang Yang was also playing in Ajax, the Netherlands, so he knew that before the European Cup in 2004, Greece was only one. The fish-meat team dominated by the people.
This team is not very conspicuous in Europe with a strong hand. Even if they enter the European Cup official game, no one will be optimistic about this team. The only impression is that their defense is not bad.
But as a result, such a team is not seen by anyone at all, and there is no even a number of players, but in the end, it has won six consecutive victories in the European Cup, creating Europe with an almost impossible miracle. Another piece of dark horse winning miracle in Cup history.
Otto Emperor Rehagel, this is a famous coach who can't be erased anyway when he misses European football.
Many people remembered him for winning the Greek miracle, but that was not the first time he made a miracle. As early as the late nineties, he led Kaiserslautern to create the miracle of the promotion of the newly promoted horse in the Bundesliga. This is also the world football. Altar is extremely rare legend.
A legend can be said to be accidental, it is luck, but if the legend is created both times, then there must be a reason.
Queiroz believes that the success of Rehagel in Kaiserslautern and Greece is the success of overall football.
In fact, almost all European football players today emphasize integrity.
The overall level of Chinese players is not high. If you want to gain a foothold in the World Cup where the strong players gather, you must rely on the whole, which requires every player to go all out.
Greece is the object of the Chinese team to learn!
This is also the direction that Quiros has been trying to tune in for the past four years.
Greece is no longer the courage of ten years ago, but they are not the same fish team, and even if they are reduced to the third position in Europe, it is still not something that Asian teams can despise.
Despite having top scorers like Yang Yang, but facing Greece, the Chinese team still poses as the weak.
Greece also attaches great importance to Yang Yang. They are in European football. They naturally know how strong the real star of Real Madrid is, so they dare not care.
The first half of the game was very dull, the two sides played zero to zero, the pressure is very great.
The Chinese team dominates the qualifying situation and is more patient.
But after changing sides in the second half and fighting again, Greece strengthened the offensive, but the Chinese team is still stubbornly defending, and even Yang Yang often retreats to the front of the penalty zone to participate in defense.
But in the seventy-ninth minute, when a counter-attack hit the ball in midfield, Greece quickly instigated the offensive.
Captain Zheng Zhi returned to the frontier of the penalty area to assist in time. When facing the opponent's right pass and seeing a single-shot, he had to take a tactical pull foul behind him and pulled the Greek forward down the top of the arc. The opponent was not given a single shot.
But for this foul, Zheng Zhi was sent off with a red card.
The foul is obvious, and the intention is clear. There is no need to justify.
Zheng Zhi didn't make any explanation for himself. After seeing the referee holding up the red card, he silently turned around and went all the way forward.
As he walked, he ripped off the captain's armband on his arm, and gradually his eyes were red.
He was almost thirty-four years old. As early as three years ago, he could not stay in Europe and returned to his country. He can still maintain his status and participate in the World Cup with all his strength.
Now, he did his best.
"It's up to you next!" Zheng Zhi came to Yang Yang, put on the captain's armband for him, patted the national emblem on his chest, hugged him, turned around and left.
At this moment, Yang Yang felt the weight of the captain's armband on his arm.
The other players of the national team have no objections, because if it is not Zheng Zhi, Yang Yang has already been the captain of this national team.
For Zheng Zhi's red card at this time, the internationals are more moved and regret.
The move was for Zheng Zhi's contribution, because it was a red card in the final stage of the game, and it was a tactical foul. The regret was that they had made a mistake just now, which led Zheng Zhi to use this tactical foul to compensate.
The veteran does not die, but gradually fades.
...
After Zheng Zhi was sent off with a red card, the Chinese team made a substitution and replaced Wu Lei with Zhao Xuri.
Zhao Xu Japan played in the Russian Premier League, performed well, and had a strong defensive ability, but he was a little frizzy, but no one would forget that World Cup in the World Youth Championship.
Having missed a good scoring opportunity, Greece has further strengthened the offense, and it can even be said to be out.
For them, this game only has to win, there is no second way to go.
Greece's crazy offensive created a huge defensive pressure on the Chinese team. Even after entering the eighty minutes, it created two very threatening offenses, but they were all defended by the Chinese team.
There was a lot of noise in the penalty area, and there was a danger in front of the door. There was one more person on the court ...
In this case, the situation of the Chinese team can be described as wind and rain, and it may endure at any time.
In the eighty-eighth minute, Yang Yang returned to the frontier of the penalty area to participate in defense.
Zhao Xu made a fierce but precise steal, intercepted the ball and quickly passed it to Chen Tao.
Chen Tao passed on Yang Yang again, Yang Yang took the ball from his back, knocked it back to Zhou Haibin, and reached for his finger behind him.
Zhou Haibin has worked with Yang Yang for many years. After seeing his gestures, he immediately understood and saw the Greek defense line press, and Yang Yang turned to sprint forward. He immediately made a long pass and accurately sent the ball to the left of the frontcourt.
The other two defenders of the opponent dragged in the back, and Yang Yang retreated deeper. If it reached the middle, it would definitely be unbearable.
Yang Yang sprinted forward at the fastest speed, so that the fans on the scene were excited. Even the on-site commentators couldn't help but praise: "In the final stage of the game, there is still physical strength to maintain such a fast sprint. This is the point. Yang Yang really deserves our admiration and is worth learning by all professional players. "
But Yang Yang on the court didn't take care of this, he stared at the ball with all his heart.
Sure enough, after Zhou Haibin split to the left, Yang Yang grabbed the ball before the Greek central defender Papasta Sopros.
Once stopped, Papasta Sopros leaned over.
One to one!
Yang Yang hardly left the other party with a slight reaction time. He started as soon as he stopped, and his figure swayed directly, striking inwards, frightening the Greek central defender to make a stop.
But Yang Yang made a buckle on his right foot and drew the ball to the bottom line.
The Greek central defender played for Dortmund and was also very experienced. He immediately adjusted his body's center of gravity and kept up with Yang Yang.
But as soon as his center of gravity was adjusted, Yang Yang again dunked the ball back to the right.
This continuous fake movement changed the center of gravity of Papasta Sopros and lost a balance. There was also a gap in the defense. Yang Yang precisely took the ball inward and blocked the Greek central defender with his body. cut.
The central defender Manoras and the defending midfielder Maniatis have also returned to the front of the penalty zone at the same time. The two are like a net inside and outside, and at the same time they are coming towards Yang Yang. .
But Yang Yang didn't wait for the opponent to come over. After breaking through Papasta Sopros, after adjusting the lateral dribble step, the right foot directly pulled out and shot directly, without giving the opponent any chance to think.
The ball is like a shell. From the left side of the penalty area 21 meters away from the goal, it directly penetrates into the upper right corner of the goal and penetrates the goal of the Greece team, one to zero!
"Goal !!!"
"Goal !!!"
"Yang Yang! Yang Yang! Another world wave !!!"
"Long shot 21 meters away!
"Another world wave, the Yangyang area has worked again!"
"At the crucial moment in the final stage of the game, Yang Yang played with the Greek defenders in the area he was most familiar with. He picked three and made a right-footed volley to open the door to victory for the Chinese team, one to zero!"
"Greece lost!"
"The Chinese team will once again advance to the top 16!"
"Long live Yang Yang! Long live the Chinese team! Long live the Chinese football!"
