World Cup of Great Powers

Chapter 295 Zheng Zhi and the Wild Dog

Zheng Zhi and Mad Dog

Li Jinyu's goal at the end of the first half brought a glimmer of hope to Chinese fans.

During the half-time break, thousands of Chinese fans in the stands talked a lot.

Can the Chinese team tie the score in the second half?

Will France still score?

Who will advance to this Confederations Cup?

Will Zeng Zheng still perform miracles?
It is not that the Chinese team has never played against a strong European team in history.

But the problem is that those games are friendly matches, and have no practical nature.

In recent years, only the 2000 Olympic Games has met a strong team like the French team in the main match.

But the Olympics is U23, not the national team.

An Olympic bronze medal doesn't mean anything.

Even in the eyes of the fans, this Olympic bronze medal is not as good as Zeng Zheng led the team to break into the top 16 of the World Cup.

When football has risen to the national level, it is very difficult to move forward.

Because most of the players have already developed and fixed, there will be no more "ball ups" for young people.

Injuries, status and other reasons will also plague the team.

Coupled with the pursuit of performance by various countries, the coaches have also changed batch after batch.

As soon as the players and this coach had a tacit understanding, and as soon as they understood his tactical arrangements, the coach changed.

For such a team, let alone improving combat effectiveness, it is very difficult to maintain the current technical and tactical level.

In this case, the World Cup champion or the European Championship champion is the best team on the planet!
Regardless of the fact that the Chinese team is now ranked in the top ten in the world.

This just takes the light of the Asian division.

If it was placed in the European Division, it might not even rank thirty!
To sum up, the strength of the French team is the overall and overall strength.

Zeng Zheng cannot be changed by himself.

After reaching such a consensus.

Apart from the Chinese fans in the stands who are still "fantastic", spies from other countries have already expected the ending of the Chinese team.

"In my opinion, the Chinese team may still score goals in the second half, but only within the scope allowed by the French team. In other words, the French team will score more." Jason said.

"If I were the coach of the Chinese team, how to keep the score well and prevent the French team from scoring in the second half is the key." Blazevic also gave a plan.

"I hope that the Chinese team will send out more potential players to perform after the defeat is over. After all, there are not many opportunities to play against the world champion." Scouts from various countries also expressed their true thoughts.

In fact, the fact that the national football team can play against the French team is also due to the glory of this Confederations Cup.

If there is only one host, well, the opening ceremony is a match between the host and the World Cup winner.

But still the problem.

There are two hosts.

Everyone wants to compete with the World Cup champion.

Two dogs fight, play off.

The Chinese team is the fisherman!
Even in the eyes of some Asian opponents, the Chinese team can fight the French team for real.

This Confederations Cup is not in vain!
Fifteen minutes passed quickly, and players from both sides returned to the field.

Le Maire could tell at a glance that Zeng Zheng had changed to a midfielder.

"Change sides and fight again in the second half."

"Coach Zeng replaced Zhang Ran with the younger Zheng Zhi."

"It was a bold substitution."

"Zhang Ran and Li Tie, as Jianlibao's chief and deputy captains, have been partners for a very long time."

"Coach Zeng would rather dismantle this pair of defensive midfielders than replace Zheng Zhi."

"There must be his consideration."

"Currently Zheng Zhi, a young player, plays for Eindhoven in the Eredivisie. He has made several appearances last season and scored a goal against Groningen."

"Generally speaking, Zheng Zhi is a defensive player."

"At Eindhoven, he played as a central midfielder."

"Coach Zeng replaced him, I don't know if he took a fancy to his offensive ability."

"Whether there will be new changes for the Chinese team after this young player plays, let us wait and see."

After the start of the second half, the rested French team concentrated again, tearing down the Chinese team's defense with passing and running positions.

A one-goal advantage is never guaranteed.

For the world champion, it takes a few more goals to lead.

"No matter how good the Chinese team is, can it be difficult to play against Portugal?"

Seeing the French team playing a big attack, the scouts also became serious.

Developing Chinese players is like panning for gold, but buying and selling French players is a surefire way to make money!
In the 47th minute, the French team went on the offensive again.

Vieira's strong body was like a bulldozer, pushing Zhang Xiaorui and Li Jinyu away.

Seeing this, Li Tie hurried forward to make up for it, but Vieira didn't want to show off his footwork, so he directly passed the ball to Camille.

When he passed the ball, Li Jinyu and Zhang Xiaorui were not in position yet.

Judging from the scene, Vieira's moment is equivalent to attracting the defense of three players.

After Camille gets the ball, as long as he transfers the ball, the French player who gets the ball on the other side will get a rare offensive gap.

Can he pass it on?

The answer is: NO!

There is nothing wrong with Vieira's passing.

But before Camille could catch the ball, he was knocked out.

It's not so much a bump as a push.

Zheng Zhi thought that his little tricks were well hidden, but he couldn't escape the referee's eyes at all.

But the problem is that pushing people doesn't necessarily blow the whistle.

In this way, the passes of Camille and Vieira passed by.

The ball missed and was intercepted by Wu Chengying.

The moment Wu Chengying got the ball, he looked up and looked forward, looking for teammates who could respond.

Seeing this, Li Jinyu and Zhang Xiaorui, who were still chasing and defending just now, turned around immediately and strode forward.

is an opportunity!
As a left back, Wu Chengying didn't have time to think so much. He took a step forward and kicked the ball directly to the vacuum in front of Li Jinyu.

collapse!
Wu Chengying's ball height was a little low, and Vieira, who was chasing back, stopped him with his head.

Kick off directly after re-stealing the ball.

This time, he directly chose to kick the ball to the front of the Chinese team's penalty area.

Continuous offensive and defensive transitions test the players' concentration and willpower on the court.

Before the top of the arc, Du Jiali caught Zhang Yanhua and caught the ball with his chest, and ferried the ball to Marley who was rushing up in front of him.

The latter made a fake shot after getting the ball. Seeing that General Fan hadn't shaken away, he decisively swiped the ball horizontally with his right foot!
Camille again!
Worthy of being a French player!
During the fake shot, you can also see the running position of your teammates from the corner of your eye.

This time, Camille caught the ball.

But he couldn't take a step forward.

At this moment, I saw the French team's No. 10 jersey like a parasol propped up.

Under Zheng Zhi's pull, Camille's toes just stopped the ball on the spot, and his body fell backward involuntarily.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, he kicked Zheng Zhi hard after following up.

Sun Jihai, who was on the sidewalk, took a step back in place before releasing all the force of the ball bouncing on his instep.

"Xiao Zhi, you defended well!" General Fan extended a thumb to Zheng Zhi.

Camille, who almost fell, was ignored.

"Slow down! Slow down!"

"Come back and catch the ball!"

"Pull the side!"

Zeng Zheng directed the players loudly from the sidelines.

Now the score is behind.

We must cherish every ball possession and every offensive opportunity.

But the French team obviously intends to widen the point difference first.

Zhang Xiaorui and Li Jinyu were closely followed by a defender.

Seeing that Sun Jihai, who was dribbling the ball, was about to be forced to stop, Zhang Xiaorui turned his head left and right to look around, ran towards Sun Jihai, pointed at his feet and shouted: "Give it to me, give it to me!"

Sun Jihai didn't hesitate and kicked the ball towards Zhang Xiaorui directly.

Facing the incoming ball, Zhang Xiaorui first glanced at Djorkaeff beside him.

Then before catching the ball, he aimed his back at the opponent.

The moment he grabbed the opponent, Zhang Xiaorui let the ball roll past him with one side of his body.

At the same time, the right heel kicked the ball towards the back of his foot.

While avoiding Djorkaf, he twisted his body and turned around to catch up with the ball that was knocked away by him.

A simple card position turn, avoiding the press of the French midfielder.

Facing Vieira who stepped forward to make up for the replacement, Zhang Xiaorui who went forward pulled the ball back with his right foot before the two collided.

In the next pass, the right foot that pulled the ball back made a sharp trip to the front right.

Using a change in rhythm, he successfully passed the French midfielder.

"Wow! This Chinese team player is really good at handling the ball!"

"Although he looks black on the outside, I didn't expect his skills to be so good."

"Such a strong sense of rhythm and adaptability, tsk tsk tsk, how many players like this do the Chinese team have?"

Just as the scouts were sighing, Vieira, who was shaken away, turned around and grabbed Zhang Xiaorui's jersey just like Zheng Zhi before.

Zheng Zhila Camille didn't blow the ball, and Vieira Zhang Xiaorui naturally wouldn't blow the whistle this time.

Poor Zhang Xiaorui.

He calculated everything very well.

But he underestimated the strength of Vieira's arm.

The moment the clothes were pulled to the maximum, his body trembled, and he also lost the ball.

Desailly, who rushed forward to steal the ball, did not make the slightest adjustment, and went straight to find Camier, who had already advanced.

The latter chases the ball forward with the outer instep of the right foot to the outside, and if he catches up with the ball, he has to follow up with a long shot.

boom! ! !
There was a muffled sound in front of the top of the gourd in the penalty area of ​​the Chinese team.

Zheng Zhi, who fell to the ground with a shovel in time, blocked Camille's long-range shot with his lower back.

"Fuck!"

Camille cursed French and French.

Don't let me catch the ball, don't let you break through, and don't let me shoot from a long distance?

At this moment, the fans and scouts can also see it.

Zheng Zhi is a brown candy.

Zeng Zheng firmly arranged to be next to Camille.

As long as the other country is halftime, Zheng Zhi will stick to it like a tarsus.

In this way, the formation of the Chinese team becomes "4122+1".

Zhang Xiaorui and Li Jinyu still played attacking midfielders, and Li Tie played alone as a midfielder.

Zheng Zhi played as a free agent in midfield.

Wherever Camille went, he followed.

"The Chinese team is too reckless, this is a children's game!"

In the stands, a blond foreigner commented, "Using stalking and man-marking tactics against the opponent's star players is a move only used by low-level teams!"

The foreigner was right.

Civilian amateur teams can see this happening.

Because in a team, there are only one or two who can play.

So as long as these two skills are optimistic, the opponent's combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced.

To put it bluntly, there is a bit of Tian Ji's horse racing in it.

But this is the Confederations Cup!
The opponent is the French team!
Let's not talk about whether Zeng Zheng's "dog skin plaster" tactic will work.

So what if it does work?
The French team has one less Camille, and the Chinese team has one less Zheng Zhi.

Can the 10-man French team win against the 10-man Chinese team?

I can definitely win!
So Le Maire didn't take it seriously after seeing that Zeng Zheng actually adopted such a "reckless" move.

On the contrary, because of this tactic, Zeng Zheng's image in his heart plummeted.

"Humph!"

"What is the best coach in Asia, the most prosperous coach of the young generation in the world football!"

"It's nothing more than that!"

Le Maire didn't take the matter to heart.

But Camille was dying of pain.

In a short time, Camille was stepped on three times by Zheng Zhi, knocked over five times, and pulled and dragged countless times.

The most disgusting thing is that these violations ended with only two whistles, and the referee awarded a painless free kick.

After playing for more than ten minutes, Camille almost exploded!
In terms of technical level, he must be above Zheng Zhi;

In terms of foul skills and thick skin, he is not one ten thousandth as Zheng Zhi.

This time, when Camille was knocked to the ground from the side by Zheng Zhi again, he did not get up as quickly as before.

Instead, he lay on the ground directly, pretending to be a dead person.

But in the eyes of the referee, this is just a common sense collision.

The two fought for another half of the ball.

So I ignored it.

A dramatic scene occurred.

After Zheng Zhi got up, he just wanted to run to the frontcourt to meet his teammates.

Zeng Zheng's voice came from beside his ear.

Zheng Zhi was taken aback for a moment, then stepped forward and bent over to support Camille's shoulders.

Regardless of whether the linesman and referee saw it or not, they dragged him out of the court directly.

Ah? ? ?
Seeing Zheng Zhi's action, the fans on the scene were stunned.

However, in the next second, a scene that surprised them even more happened.

Camille, who was lying on the ground just now.

After realizing that he was dragged off the field, he recovered his vitality instantly, turned around, and even sat up from the ground.

what?
what?
what?
The fans were completely dumbfounded.

Aren't you hurt?
Why did you recover instantly?

Camille, who sat up, didn't care about anything else, and cursed loudly at Zheng Zhi's back.

Although he doesn't know French, everyone knows that he probably greeted all eighteen generations of Zheng Zhi's ancestors.

"Don't leave him, he can't do anything to you!"

Under Zeng Zheng's order, Zheng Zhi ran far away.

Camille was helpless.

Finally tidied up his socks and got up from the ground.

Soon, fans gradually found out.

The French team's offense is not working!
The unfavorable passing and receiving cooperation in the first half could not be played out, but there were more and more fouls and individual performances.

Zheng Zhi's movements are a bit big, and his kicks are a bit ugly.

But do you have to pass the ball to Camille's feet?
The Chinese team is already at a disadvantage, so it is reasonable for them to act more aggressively!
The most important thing is that your French team has replaced two players in a row.

Why hasn't Mao changed to Camille?

Do you have to keep him on the field?

The Chinese team obviously wants to watch you die.

They also specially assigned a player to press him at halftime.

Camille scored a goal, is it already okay? !

Wouldn't it be good to replace him?
not good!

Of course Le Maire will not replace him.

Just like Zeng Zheng said before the game.

The French team not only wants to train troops, but also wants to train a Zidane II.

As the successor of Zidane in the media, Le Maire must not accept Camille's performance like this!
In his opinion, if Camille can't even bear this pressure.

So what about Zidane II?

What else do you wear French team number 10?
Go home and farm as soon as possible!

But he forgot.

This team is not a real French team, and Camille is not Zidane.

After discovering that Camille was specially targeted by the Chinese team, other French players stopped passing the ball to him.

In the next 20 minutes, Camille participated in 5 attacks of the French team, but did not touch the ball.

In the end, even a fool can see it.

Camille was completely isolated.

In the 77th minute, Le Maire, who advocated offense, played the third substitution card.

Djorkaeff was replaced by Pires.

The tactics of the French team highlight the role of stars, but also emphasize overall coordination.

There was an "iron triangle" in the Platini era, and the Zidane era also had the central axis of Blanc, Deschamps and Zidane.

Today, Desailly, Vieira and Pires, the three Frenchmen who play in London, form the new central axis of the French team.

Desailly has become more responsible after becoming the captain;

The former Senegalese urchin Vieira was good at attacking and defending, and he was regarded as the next captain of France and Arsenal;

Pires, who also played for Arsenal, became a hero in the European Cup final.

Now that Le Maire has replaced him, it seems that he still wants to score another goal for the Chinese team before the end of the game.

Seeing this, Zeng Zheng also played the last substitution card.

Forward Xie Hui was replaced by Wang Tao, the tallest player in the team.

You want to score, I want to score too!

Ever since, at the end of the game, the Chinese team actually fought against their opponents.

In the 79th minute, Pires went straight from the right and dribbled the ball into the penalty area.

Li Tie leaned in from the side and blocked the passing angle, forcing Pires to force a shot.

In this case, Ou Chuliang successfully blocked the ball.

In the 81st minute, Zhang Xiaorui used a Cruyff turn around before the top of the opponent's arc to deceive the opponent.

Then change the left foot to pass the ball.

Xiao Wang Tao took advantage of his height and reached the first point in the penalty area.

But then the ball was received by Lame, who was highly focused.

In the 82nd minute, the French team's fast break reached the top of the penalty area of ​​the Chinese team.

Li Weifeng, who replaced Zhang Yanhua, will replace Du Jiali's Wiltordella.

Three French players stand in front of the ball.

As the first runner, Camille kicked the ball directly to the Chinese team's goal.

But it's outrageous.

84 minutes.

The Chinese team passed the right corridor again and delivered the ball to Zhang Xiaorui's feet.

Sun Jihai was directly knocked out of the sideline by Lizarazu after passing the last kick.

Zhang Xiaorui pulled and stomped, facing the opponent's tough defense and also created a free kick for the Chinese team.

This time Li Jinyu did not perform a miracle.

His free kick hit the wall directly, causing a sigh from the stands.

In the 85th minute, Vieira personally took the ball to a place about 30 meters away from the Chinese team's goal, and suddenly kicked the mountain to shake the tiger.

Ou Chuliang jumped high, but his fingers didn't touch the ball that was higher than the crossbar.

Then the Chinese team kicked the goal kick, and Xiao Wang Tao took advantage of his height to reach the first point.

Li Tie and Zheng Zhi, who were plugged in, made a two-for-one cooperation. After receiving a pass from his teammate, Zheng Zhi took the initiative to drive forward with the ball.

At this time, Zheng Zhi was like a wild dog that had run loose, rushing headlong into the pack of wolves.

Pires came over and scratched his left wrist;
Vieira stepped in and bit him on the right arm.

After stumbling past the opponent's two defenders, Zheng Zhi had already lost his focus.

After rushing into the opponent's penalty area at the last step, everyone thought he was going to pass or shoot.

However, in the next second, Zheng Zhi stepped on the ball and stopped it on the spot.

Afterwards, his body also rushed out due to inertia.

It just happened to bump into the arms of Sylvester who was defending him.

In this way, with the help of the opponent's body, Zheng Zhi managed to stand firm.

Putting his hands together, he straightened his waist again.

Facing such a desperate Zheng Zhi, Sylvester has no good way.

He wanted to pull his opponent aside.

But Zheng Zhi's whole body rushed forward.

How can he have such great power?
After straightening up, Zheng Zhi immediately took a step back and pushed the ball towards the top of the gourd.

The French team defender who was retreating was taken aback for a moment, and rushed towards the outside of the penalty area.

At the same time, Zhang Xiaorui in front of the top of the arc has already swung his legs facing the ball.

"Don't let him cum!"

Not only Le Maire, but other members of the French team are also yelling.

Vieira, Camille, Marais, the three French players rushed forward, trying to block the ball with their bodies.

However, in the next second, Zhang Xiaorui's foot that touched the ball did not pull the ball hard.

He tensed the back of his feet and flicked his toes.

Pick Zheng Zhi's return pass directly over the heads of the three French players.

At the same time, Xiao Wang Tao, who was already standing on the penalty spot, stuck Desailly firmly behind him.

With his back to the goal, he weighed his toes and flicked the header.

boo~~~
The ball was thrown to the other side in an instant.

Looking at the ball in front of him, General Fan who rushed to the back post didn't care about anything else.

Straighten your waist and use your lower abdomen to stop the ball at your waist.

Then he lifted his right leg and directly pushed the ball into the French team's goal with his knee.

"Zhang Xiaorui picks the ball"

"Xiao Wang Tao's header ferry"

"General Fan stops"

"shoot!!!"

"The ball went in blah blah blah blah blah blah!!!"

I waited for more than 40 minutes in the second half and held back for more than 40 minutes.

Huang Jianxiang finally let out the breath.

"3 to 3!"

"General Fan!"

"The Chinese team equalized the score at the last moment of the game!"
