World Cup of Great Powers

Chapter 309
The French team is obviously starting to exert its strength.

With about fifteen minutes left in the game, the score was tied 2-2.

Through these two matches, Le Maire and the French team have been very aware of the tenacity of the Chinese team.

If the battle cannot be resolved within these 15 minutes, then the next overtime and penalty shootout will be detrimental to the French team from afar.

What's more, the French team has to play overtime when playing against an Asian team?
Can this be spread so as not to make others laugh?
Under the command of Le Maire, the French players on the court began to increase their attack.

Every pass they make, every step they move, becomes extremely purposeful!

That's a goal!

As a result, the defense of the Chinese team has been greatly tested.

When defending, except for Xie Hui, almost everyone retreated to their own half.

Not only that, Le Maire also replaced Pires, who was exhausted, with Dacourt, who played for Leeds United.

The third substitution quota was used up earlier than the Chinese team.

As a result, the French team's offense became more ferocious.

In the 78th minute, Anelka succeeded in anti-offside. After receiving a pass from Vieira, he broke into the right side of the penalty area, and then dunked the defender and knocked across the middle.

Marley followed up with a strong shot, which was blocked by Ou Chuliang.

Then Wiltord got the ball from the edge of the penalty area and hit the far corner with his foot, the ball was slightly higher.

In the 80th minute, Duckett found a gap from the left and passed the ball to Marley, but General Fan who returned to the defense made a timely tackle and blocked the ball from the bottom line.

Then the French team quickly took a tactical corner kick, but the final cross was still ejected by the defender.

In the 83rd minute, Anelka passed the ball to the substitute Dacourt on the left, and Ducourt made a tricky arc. rescue.

Although the offensive of the French team became fiercer, the sharp-eyed Huang Jianxiang saw a slight difference in the Chinese team.

"Director Zhang."

"Do you see any difference in the formation and positioning of the Chinese team when attacking?!"

different?

Zhang Hehe didn't respond when he first heard this question.

At this moment, Zhang Ran made a long pass and found Yang Chen who was running in front.

After Yang Chen stopped the ball to Shao Jiayi who was plugging in beside him, he also quickly rushed towards the French team's penalty area.

From defense to offense, the camera zoomed out, and the situation on the field immediately became clear.

Ah this is
Looking at the line formed by the three in front of the Chinese team, Zhang Hehe opened his eyes wide.

"When did the Chinese team become 433?"

"Director Zhang, did you see it too?"

"Shao Jiayi's position is too far forward, he doesn't look like a midfielder at all."

Although the Chinese team didn't shoot in the past few minutes, every time they attacked, Shao Jiayi would unconsciously mention the parallel line formed by Yang Chen and Xie Hui.

After inserting into the penalty area several times in a row to attack, this aroused Huang Jianxiang's speculation.

Since Zhang Xiaorui was replaced, the Chinese team almost voluntarily gave up the midfield.

Its offense is through long passes from the backcourt and directly finds the forwards in front.

The advantage of this is that it is simple and violent, saves energy, and has a clear purpose.

But if there are only Yang Chen and Xie Hui in front, even if the ball is passed in place, it will be difficult to continue to organize the attack.

But now with Shao Jiayi, everything is different.

The joining of Shao Jiayi is not a simple 2+1=3 problem.

Whether he is sprinting, running, ball control, passing, or even shooting, he is a good player.

Seeing this, the fans couldn't help asking: "Shao Jiayi will still play forward?"

But Huang Jianxiang grasped the key.

Now the forward line of the Chinese team, including Shao Jiayi, is actually all players who play for the Bundesliga!

In other words, what Zeng Zheng sacrificed in the second half was not the "Twin Towers of the Bundesliga", but the "Three Musketeers of the Bundesliga"!
The full counterattack of the three made the French defense very embarrassed.

In the end, it wasn't until Lame swooped across the body that Yang Chen's strong shot was resolved.

In other words.

In addition to scoring goals, the Chinese team's counterattack was a success!
"No wonder Coach Zeng replaced Zhang Ran."

Huang Jianxiang nodded.

"Coach Zeng replaced Zhang Ran to defend."

"Because it's a counterattack with a long pass."

"So we don't need more time on the ground."

"As long as we add an extra striker in front, our offensive power will be very different from before."

"Wonderful, really wonderful!"

"Avoid its edge, attack its unpreparedness."

"Coach Zeng's trick is to retreat and advance. It's really wonderful!"

At the same time, football practitioners who are paying attention to this game all over the world have also seen the clues.

Especially those who are coaches.

At this moment, he was even more applauded for Zeng Zheng's actions.

When Zhang Xiaorui was on the field, the Chinese team's tactic was to compete with the French team for the midfield.

But the results were not at all satisfactory.

Both goals were advanced by the French team.

If you continue to play like this, the third goal is also likely to be the French team advanced.

With the experience of the group stage, the French team will never concede a goal carelessly in the remaining time of the game.

In this way, Zeng Zheng simply gave up the midfield, which is a battleground for strategists.

Choose to add one more striker, directly cross the midfielder, and play a long pass.

Although the attack success rate has been reduced a lot in this way.

But once an attack is formed, it is very likely to form a shot and pose a threat to the French team's goal.

Like just now.

Looking down from a high altitude, when the Chinese team counterattacked, the French team had 4 defenses and 3 defenses, and at least one defender was 1 defense and 1;

Before Zeng Zheng changed his lineup, he had 4 defenses and 2 defenses, with two defenses against one.

In such a comparison, it is no wonder that the French team's defense pressure is not high!

After Le Maire sensed Zeng Zheng's intentions, it was too late.

He could only be anxious on the sidelines, urging the players to score a goal quickly.

But the more anxious the French team was, the calmer Zeng Zheng became.

In the 85th minute, Zeng Zheng disrupted the French team's offensive rhythm with a substitution.

The conscientious Li Tie was replaced by Zhao Junzhe.

In this way, the three defensive midfielders of the Chinese team all have superhuman ability to play the ball.

In order to quickly resolve the battle within regular time, Vieira personally launched a wave of offensive.

Anelka got the ball and then passed Marley, but the latter responded too late in the penalty area and did not hit the power.

Ou Chuliang gave up the goal in time to attack and got the ball.

After 1 minute, Dacourt passed the ball from the right side, Vieira and Anelka cooperated and then passed it back to the right side, Wiltord pushed the ball hastily from the wing and missed the ball.

In the 88th minute, Anelka received a pass from Sylvester and shot from the edge of the penalty area, which was blocked by Ou Chuliang.

The French team took a corner kick from the left, but the ball flew directly out of the baseline in the air.

It can be seen from these few shots and the obviously inferior corner kick at the end that the French team is in a hurry.

But being anxious can't change the situation of the game, and the goal they want has not been able to appear for a long time.

In the 89th minute, Desailly won the big long pass from the Chinese team in the midfield, and then quickly passed the ball to the wing, which was delivered to the frontcourt.

Anelka looked at the opportunity before the top of the penalty area and tried to kick a lob shot, but Ou Chuliang held him off the crossbar.

"Run two steps, run two steps!"

The French player yells at Dacourt, who is going to take the corner.

Duckett naturally knew the importance of time. After arriving at the corner kick area, he set the ball up and immediately stretched out his two arms.

At the same time, the fourth official also held up the "2" sign on the sidelines.

2 minutes of stoppage time in the second half.

The French want to settle the battle within regular time.

It can only rely on these 2 minutes.

Seeing this, various complex expressions and emotions appeared on the faces of the French players.

Some people are frowning, some are sighing, and some are sighing.

Play overtime with the Chinese team.

This already means "lose"!

In the penalty area, while people are crowding people, they are constantly pushing opponents out.

Just when Dakot was about to run up, he saw his teammates in the penalty area gesturing to him with a "pause" gesture.

It turned out that there was "infighting" in the French team at the moment.

Goalkeeper Lame, without the permission of the coach, abandoned the goal and wanted to participate in the corner kick.

When spotted by his teammates, he had already run across the midfield.

Seeing this, Desailly, who was at the back, stepped forward and grabbed his arm.

The two got into an argument in midfield.

Finally, both of them looked towards the sidelines.

Le Maire has seen Lame's move for a long time, but he has not said anything.

Until Lame ran across the midfield and was grabbed by Desailly.

An ominous premonition suddenly rose from the back of his neck to the top of Le Maire's head.

Ok?
what's the situation?
What does it feel like?
Le Maire frowned slightly.

At that moment, he felt as if he was being targeted by a lone wolf!
No!

Not yet!
He stared at the two team members.

Lemaire shook his head.

Seeing this, Lamei drooped her head and ran towards her goal.

"There is not much time left in this game."

"The score is still 2-2."

"Both coaches are making overtime arrangements."

"Currently it's France's corner."

"But the closer we get to the final moments of the game, the less we can take it lightly."

"It's the same for the French team."

"Just now the French goalkeeper Lame wanted to abandon the goal and participate in the corner kick."

"But he was stopped by his teammates and persuaded to go back."

"Because the score is 2-2, if the goal is not scored, the French team will not lose."

"The game will go into overtime."

"Perhaps out of conservative considerations, Le Maire did not agree to the goalkeeper's attack."

"It seems that the French team does not want to take this risk!"

"Team China, come on!"

"As long as the goal can be defended, the game will be dragged into overtime."

"The game situation will be more and more favorable for us."

"Heizi, you go guard against that!"

"Old Fan, hold your position!"

"Jihai, stand a little outside, don't take my sight!"

"Everyone is staring at people, and we must keep a close eye on people!"

In front of the gate, Ou Chuliang commanded the team members methodically.

At this moment, there were fifteen players crowded into the restricted area of ​​the Chinese team.

Except for Xie Hui, all Chinese players squeezed into the penalty area and participated in the defense.

Under the urging of the referee, Duckett finally started the second run-up.

This time, he kicked the ball directly into the penalty area.

"Get out of the way, mine!"

General Fan roared.

It doesn't matter whether you can touch the ball or not, let the momentum out first.

Among the crowd, General Fan plucked the green onions on dry land, two feet off the ground.

Not only forcibly squeezed Marley aside in the air, but also pushed the ball out of the penalty area with his head.

"run!"

There was no need for Ou Chuliang to say hello, everyone shouted and ran to the outside of the restricted area.

Zhao Junzhe, who was standing on the outside, caught up with the ball at the first time, took a step forward, observed the position of his teammates, and kicked the ball forward with his left foot.

"run!"

"Run!!!!"

Not only the Chinese players, but even the fans in the stands couldn't help shouting.

Xie Hui, who had been rushing forward, suddenly turned into a gust of wind.

Following Yang Chen's oblique pass, Xie Hui stepped in at high speed, dribbling the ball towards the opponent's half with all his strength.

At the same time, the two defenders of the French team were also quickly returning to the defense, and blocked the direction of Xie Hui's advance, forcing him to the right.

Seeing Xie Hui rush forward with the ball at high speed, Le Maire on the sidelines was relieved.

He knew it was his sixth sense that saved him just now.

If Lame runs back in the penalty area of ​​the Chinese team at this moment, the consequences are unimaginable!
In order to quickly advance to the opponent's penalty area, Xie Hui kicked the ball forward in three steps.

Desailly and others wanted to go up and steal the ball.

But he found that no matter how he ran, he couldn't get close to Xie Hui.

Until then, they finally understood.

The physical fitness that I am so proud of has now reached the point where it is exhausted.

Even in overtime, with their physical condition, they had to call some front teammates back to defend.

After chasing after him, Xie Hui slowed down first.

But the two French defenders who chased back did not have any joy.

Because Xie Hui has brought the ball to the front of the penalty area.

Facing Xie Hui who was slowing down, Desailly rushed to block him with all his might.

However, Xie Hui had already predicted it.

With a dunk with his right foot, while avoiding Desailly, he pushed the ball laterally with his left foot.

This pass caught the French defender by surprise.

Not only did Desailly pass easily, but Kabulen, who was facing Xie Hui, staggered.

When the camera followed the ball, what came into view was a young Chinese player in a red robe.

"It's Shao Jiayi!"

Huang Jianxiang shouted immediately.

The choice of station.

Let Shao Jiayi become the closest player to the opponent's goal besides Xie Hui.

So at this moment, only Shao Jiayi barely kept up with Xie Hui's footsteps.

Facing his teammate's cross pass, Shao Jiayi kicked lightly to the left and brought the ball into the penalty area.

Faced with Sylvester's desperate pursuit behind him, and Lame's desperate attack.

Shao Jiayi pulled the ball to the left again with his left foot, and then gently flicked it with the inside of his toes.

The ball jumped into the air and flew over Lame's head.

Seeing Shao Jia stepping together, Sylvester sped up again and ran desperately towards his own gate.

At the last moment, Sylvester jumped up vigorously.

Project your body like a missile.

Bang!
Feeling the touch from the top of his head, Sylvester was overjoyed.

My hard work finally paid off!

He still hit the ball!
However, in the next moment, there was another muffled sound above the head.

"boom!"

The ball that was kicked off by Sylvester slammed into the lower edge of the crossbar, bounced down again, and hit Sylvester's back.

With the power of Sylvester's forward charge, the ball also crashed into the net.

Pfft! ! !
Sylvester's body and football fell from the air to the ground, entangled with the net.

Extremely embarrassed!

At the same time, a roar erupted instantly from the stands.

"Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho!!!"

"Shao plus one, Shao plus one, plus one"

"Add one, add one, one, one, yiyiyiyiyi~~~"

"The ball has been scored!!!"

"The Chinese team scored again!"

"Shao Jiayi!!!"

Huang Jianxiang also shouted at the top of his voice.

"3 to 2!"

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

"This is a lore goal!"

"This goal is enough to kill the whole game!"

"Won!"

"Won!"

"we won!"

"We beat the world champion!!!"

Then, Huang Jianxiang's roar was overwhelmed by the fans' voices from the microphone.

Shao Jiayi raised his arms high and galloped along the sideline to the already boiling Chinese coach's bench.

Zeng Zhengdi was the first to rush up and knocked him to the ground.

The others also rushed up, one after another pounced on Shao Jiayi, forming a human wall on the sidelines.

The French players in the field looked at the Chinese coach's bench with desolate faces, and many of them showed a trace of confusion on their faces.

At this moment, whether it is the French players who have become famous or want to become famous by the Confederations Cup, they all bowed their heads silently and walked towards their own half.

Although the whistle has not yet sounded, everyone knows that the Confederations Cup is over.

They lost.
