World Cup of Great Powers

Chapter 292 Ballet on the Bottom Line
June 6, at 3:16, Yokohama International Stadium.

Almost [-] fans poured into the stadium.

Thousands of them are fans of the Chinese team.

The other 2-odd fans are local fans in the small days.

Same as in Indonesia.

Zeng Zheng has become a football ambassador.

Many fans came to watch the Chinese team.

Speaking of this Confederations Cup, there are twists and turns.

When Xiaotian bid to host the World Cup, South Korea proposed to jointly host it in order to get involved.

After the joint sponsorship was approved, South Korea began to make a fuss about the name again.

The original World Cup in Japan and South Korea has become the current World Cup in Korea and Japan.

This is not finished.

As a preview of the World Cup, South Korea certainly wants to take advantage of the Confederations Cup.

According to the template of the previous Confederations Cup.

Participating teams must at least be divided into groups.

But because all three Asian teams can participate in this Confederations Cup, the organizing committee's initial decision was to directly eliminate one team.

This plan has been collectively opposed by the three teams.

After making the above-mentioned protests continuously, International Bamboo Blinds proposed several solutions.

For example, before the Confederations Cup, three teams will play a game two by two, and the team with the fewest points will be eliminated.

Zhang Jilong directly opposed this proposal.

There are also good reasons to object.

I am the champion of the Asian Cup, and I did not participate as a host, so there is no reason to play "play-offs".

For the same reason, the other two teams did not agree to our proposal.

Our proposal is very rude, that is, let the two hosts play an extra game first, and the loser will be out.

The two hosts also rejected the proposal.

The three parties refused to give in to each other.

In the end, the international bamboo curtain could only divide the three teams into three groups.

But the problem came again.

If it is divided into two groups, South Korea will hold a group of games, and Xiaotian will hold a group of games.

Exactly half of one person.

Divide into three groups now, what should we do?
Our proposal is still so straightforward!
Anyway, you two are so close to us, the three group matches of Group C will be held here.

As expected, the two hosts shook their heads like rattles.

We are the host country of the World Cup, so the Confederations Cup will naturally be held on our territory.

Seeing that the representatives of the three parties quarreled again, the members of the International Bamboo Curtain also had a splitting headache.

In the end, the international bamboo curtain played a trick.

Said that this Confederations Cup can only be held in the country hosting the World Cup.

As for which country will host the three games in Group C where the national football team is located, it will be chosen by the national football team itself!

In this way, the International Bamboo Blind has thrown out its burden.

After an afternoon of "negotiations", the national football team finally chose to play in Yokohama.

The small days that have been bullied by South Korea since the bid to host the World Cup finally found a balance in the Confederations Cup!
Of course, the resolution made by the Chinese representative has also been supported by Zeng Zheng and the team.

think about it.

What is the quality of South Korean fans?What is your attitude towards the Chinese team?

What is the quality of the fans of Little Days?What's so right about the Chinese team?
It is clear at a glance by comparison!
Looking at the stands filled with local fans, Ma Ke and other Chinese representatives were all thankful that this decision was made correctly.

"Zeng Mori sei! Zeng Mori sei!"

In the stands, many Little Days fans yelled at Zeng Zheng.

Because many small-day players transferred to A-A, there were many fans of A-A's small-day fans at the scene.

And which A-A fan doesn't like Zeng Zheng?

Small days worship the strong.

Even many young international footballers in active service will respectfully shout "Sen Sei" when they see Zeng Zheng, and it is not difficult to understand that these fans also shouted.

"Zengtou is popular everywhere!"

Looking at the little girl in the stands, Han Tao looked envious.

"Xiao Tao, don't be fooled by the appearance of the fans!"

Zeng Zheng reminded, "Among these people, not only fans!"

Han Tao immediately became nervous when he heard this.

"Boss Zeng, could it be that there are KB elements here?"

"Where did you think you were going?!" Zeng Zheng rolled his eyes, "Do you think this is the Middle East?!"

"Neither a KB member nor a fan, who is that?"

"A few old acquaintances!" Zeng Zheng snorted coldly.

Before entering the arena, Zeng Zheng looked around the stands carefully.

The coaches of the top ten opponents that I saw in Bangkok two days ago all came to the scene.

Not only the opponents in Group A, but even the coaches of the opponents in Group B came.

Santrac even waved his hand politely when he met Zeng Zheng's eyes.

Although China and Saudi Arabia did not violate the river water in the top ten competition.

But that doesn't mean the two teams will never meet.

If both teams finish second in the group, then China and Saudi Arabia will be direct opponents for the last 0.5 places in the Asian region!

In addition to the top ten opponents, Japan and South Korea also sent representatives to watch the Chinese team's every move.

Although Japan and South Korea did not play in the world preliminaries.

But as a member of Asia, like other Asian teams, they all want to figure out one thing.

That is the true level of the Chinese team that killed the Quartet in the first stage of the world preliminaries.

Can it only abuse food in the Asian region, or it has the level to challenge the world's top teams!

It can be said that the battle between the Chinese team and the French team has almost attracted the attention of the entire Asian football media.

In addition to the evaluators from various Asian countries, there were also some blond Europeans in the stands.

These are scouts from major clubs.

Many of them wanted to come to the big eastern country to pan for gold.

"Jack, what do you think of this game?"

"The Chinese team does have a few good players, but compared with the French team, they are still a bit inferior."

"Oh? Then you are more optimistic about the French team?"

"Of course! How can the Asian champion be compared with the European champion? Don't forget that the French team is also the world champion!"

"Well, are you here to see the French team or the Chinese team? I heard Anelka doesn't want to stay at Arsenal anymore."

"Anelka is too expensive, and it is not worthwhile to operate him! If it is the No. 11 striker of the Chinese team, I think it is okay."

"Forward? I thought you were here to see the defender! With all due respect, in this game, it may be difficult for us to see the Chinese team's forward play a role."

The discussion between the two scouts also represents the views of most fans.

In the two group matches that have just ended, South Korea 1-0 Australia in Group A, and Canada 3-0 in Group B.

Both Asian hosts have won their first-round matches.

But the problem is, neither Australia nor Canada are strong teams.

As the third Asian team participating in this Confederations Cup, the chances of the Chinese team wanting to get off to a good start are too low!

What's more, the opponent is still a powerful French team.

In the eyes of these scouts, as long as the Chinese team can score a goal, the game will be considered a victory!
Soon, players from both sides entered the field.

For this game, the commentator on the scene obviously also worked hard.

When the Chinese players came on the field, the Xiaori commentator even introduced them one by one with half-baked Chinese pronunciation.

The local fans are also awesome.

Even in Chinese pronunciation, they also know who is playing.

For the first match against the French team, Zeng Zheng sent a lineup to study abroad.

Goalkeeper Ou Chuliang.

The four defenders are Wu Chengying, General Fan, Zhang Yanhua and Sun Jihai.

The four midfielders are Li Tie, Zhang Ran, Li Jinyu and Zhang Xiaorui.

The two strikers are Yang Chen and Xie Hui.

This is also the strongest lineup of the national team recognized by fans at this stage!
The French team ranked 433.

Goalkeeper Lame.

Defenders Sagnol, Sylvester, Desailly, Lizarazu

Midfielders Bouviera, Carrière, Djorkaeff.

The strikers are Malay, Dujiali and Anelka.

It can be regarded as the main force of this French team.

It seems that Le Maire also wants to play well in this first game.

"The game is on!"

Huang Jianxiang in the broadcast room is already ready to go.

"This is a contest between the European champions and the Asian champions."

"Coach Zeng arranged the 442 formation that he is best at."

"The four midfielders are all former Jianlibao players."

"Everyone knows that Jianlibao is the direct descendant of Coach Zeng!"

"France take the lead."

"The ball came to Vieira's feet."

"To Marley."

"Camier came to meet me"

"Zhang Ran."

"Put the shovel."

"Didn't let the ball go easily."

"The Chinese team got the ball."

"Li Tie's big feet are transferred!"

"Yang Chen."

"Fearless in the high-altitude ball scramble!"

"Zhang Xiaorui took the ball down."

"Li Jinyu is running."

"didn't give"

"Still carrying it!"

On the court, Zhang Xiaorui made a fake change of direction and tricked Camille away.

Faced with the opponent's continuous pull and pull, he almost staggered forcibly turned around and swung the ball out.

However, Zhang Xiaorui, who had done all this forcefully, was at the end of his strength.

Seeing that his way forward is about to be blocked by his opponent.

With the last ounce of strength, Zhang Xiaorui kicked the ball towards the side with his toes.

Poked the ball out of Vieira's face.

Just when everyone thought the ball was about to go out of bounds, Sun Jihai from the wing rushed in like a bolt of lightning.

The arch of the right foot is forward to block, and the ball just presses on the sideline.

The lineman followed and ran all the way.

The ball rolled in a straight line, and it didn't mean to go out of bounds at all.

Soon, Sun Jihai's right foot touched the ball for the second time.

This time, I went to the field.

If it wasn't an accident, the ball should not have gone out of bounds.

The Chinese team's opening blitz, the exhausted French team obviously did not enter the state.

Sun Jihai has already started to interpolate, and Lizarazu is still not in place.

As the meritorious left back of the French team.

Today, Lizarazu has already made a name for himself.

At the end of his career, in addition to helping Bayern stand on the last post, he also needs to help the French team cultivate a reassuring successor.

World Cup, European Cup, Bundesliga, Champions League.

As one of the Grand Slam players, the 32-year-old Lizarazu has nothing to fight for.

In the face of Sun Jihai's dribbling, years of experience told Lizarazu that the ball should be stuck first, and then wait for his teammates to double-team.

But facing an Asian player almost ten years younger than himself, Lizarazu really couldn't maintain enough vigilance at the first meeting.

So, the world's top left back stepped down.

Although Lizarazu was not physically strong or tall.

But he has excellent defensive awareness and is also very good at stealing.

Counting Sun Jihai's steps.

Lizarazu stretched out his foot at what he thought was the safest timing.

But what he didn't expect was.

This Chinese player with a natural curly hair and a youthful face changed his right foot for his left foot and kicked his right foot with his left foot at that moment.

The ball collided between Sun Jihai's feet.

Dodge Lizarazu's snatched toe and keep rolling forward.

Sun Jihai, who moved a few centimeters sideways, also twisted his waist and rushed from the side.

"Sun Jihai passed Lizarazu!!!"

Huang Jianxiang roared.

The degree of excitement is no less than that when Ronaldo was double shoveled by Cannavaro and Maldini.

One is the god on the top of the mountain.

One is a mountain climber.

How can God know that man wants to surpass the mood of the gods?
Zeng Zheng squinted his eyes on the sidelines.

It seems that all this has been expected.

What about the World Cup winner?

What about the European Championship?

Who stipulated that the French team had to stick to it?

Have to play defensive counterattack?
Who stipulated that the Asian champion can't beat the European champion?

This fight.

I caught you off guard!
After passing Lizarazu, Sun Jihai did not choose to pass the ball, but directly dribbled the ball into the penalty area.

Facing Sylvester who came to replace him, Sun Jihai carefully controlled the ball and approached the baseline a little bit.

"Sun Jihai is still dribbling."

"Take it to the bottom line."

Huang Jianxiang was sitting in the studio, watching the Chinese players in the restricted area on the screen constantly rushing forward.

I have already shouted the word "pass" more than 180 times in my heart.

"Pass the ball, pass the ball!"

Fans don't care so much.

Standing up early, shouting the word "pass" in unison.

Sway left, turn right.

After two consecutive feints, Sylvester remained motionless.

Veteran Lizarazu may not know Sun Jihai yet.

But as a direct competitor of the same city derby, Sylvester can be said to be the player who knows Sun Jihai best in the French team.

The two are the same age, and Sylvester is older than Sun Jihai by more than a month.

One is a Manchester United centre-back and the other is a Manchester City full-back.

Among Sun Jihai's many assists, Sylvester has had the experience of directly confronting Sun Jihai many times.

After being seen through twice in a row, Sun Jihai seemed a little anxious.

In the restricted area, Yang Chen and Xie Hui have already rushed to the spot.

But Sylvester watched too closely, and he never found a chance to pass the ball.

Seeing that the ball was about to roll out of the bottom line, Sylvester glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw that Lizarazu had also chased back.

ha!The ball is mine now!

The teammate double-teamed Sylvester's confidence.

Facing Sun Jihai who had almost no room to carry the ball, he stepped forward, trying to poke the ball away from Sun Jihai's feet.

Seeing that the toes of the Manchester United defender were about to poke the ball away.

Moments before contact, the ball suddenly rolled backwards rapidly.

Then he jumped on the spot, moved five or six centimeters horizontally in the air, and then fell down unharmed.

hiss~~~
Seeing this scene, the Xiaotian commentator at the scene couldn't help but gasp.

Just now, Sun Jihai used the running fried ball to pass Lizarazu, which already made him exclaim once.

This time, facing Sylvester's uphill grab.

Within half a second of the opponent stretching out his foot, Sun Jihai actually completed five movements of pulling the ball, picking the ball, retreating, moving the ball, and stepping on the ball!
Among them, the left foot was used as a supporting foot, and at the critical moment, he forcibly took a step back.

The right foot pulled and sliced ​​in the air, moving the ball to safety in the blink of an eye.

Sylvester obviously did not expect Sun Jihai to react so quickly.

When he wanted to stand firm and grab again, he found that he had already lost his center of gravity.

The stride is too big, and the egg is pulled!
Snapped!
The ball was firmly stepped on the baseline by Sun Jihai.

Ignoring Sylvester, who kept his center of gravity with both hands on the ground, Sun Jihai put his right foot on the ground, followed by his left foot, and pulled the ball horizontally towards the near post of the French team from beyond the baseline.

"My God! What is he doing? Walking on a tightrope?"

"No, it's football walking the tightrope!"

Everyone in the stands opened their eyes wide.

Especially those scouts from the Premier League.

He even stared at Sun Jihai without blinking, calculating in his mind the worth the ball brought him.

In the Premier League, a league dominated by "hand-to-hand combat", players with such skills are rare!

"Sun Jihai shook Sylvester away!"

In such a short period of time, Huang Jianxiang couldn't find an adjective to describe Sun Jihai's extraordinary ingenuity.

He only briefly explained what happened on the field, and then, like all other fans, stared at the screen.

After passing Sylvester, Sun Jihai really had no way out.

His whole body is out of the baseline, and the ball rolls on the baseline towards the near post.

In the nearly [-]-year history of Chinese football, there has not been a single player who has put the ball in this position and continued to lead the money.

Ballet on your opponent's bottom line.

This is something only those European stars on TV can do!
But in this League Cup, it was done by Sun Jihai.

After taking a step horizontally.

Looking at the vertical line in the small penalty area in front of him, Sun Jihai lifted the ball high with his left foot.

Lame, who was guarding the front post, jumped up subconsciously and stretched his body in the air with all his strength.

This 1.8 meters seven, goalkeeper from Bordeaux.

In his nine-year career, the number of times he defended the opponent's bottom line high-altitude ball at this position is also very few.

"Sun Jihai picks a biography."

"Later."

"Yang Chen!"

boom!
With a muffled sound.

Yang Chen, who jumped high, dribbled the ball and plunged into the net.

"The ball went in ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"

Huang Jianxiang never knew.

My lung capacity is actually so big!
