Chapter 131 Helpless Jingxuan

Jingxuan's disappointment is beyond words. Although he understands that he should not spray his teammates in the game, which will further damage his teammates' self-confidence, but it is really wrong for a striker to waste such an opportunity. Zhang Luzhang in front of the TV guides objectively commented:
"His foot is caused by tension. In normal training, he can score 10 out of 8 kicks."

The game restarted, Eiji Kawashima passed the goal kick to Maya Yoshida, and the Japanese team began to slowly look for opportunities in the backcourt.

The Chinese team's pressing is not active at this time, and the Japanese team can pass the ball calmly in the midfield.

Nagatomo Yuto suddenly moved forward near the Chinese team's penalty area. The Japanese midfielder understood it and suddenly changed his rhythm. A quick and accurate long pass sent the ball to Nagatomo Yuto's feet.

Zhang Linpeng was busy marking Kagawa Shinji, and there was no defensive player beside Nagatomo Yuto at the moment.

Changtomo Youdu dribbled the ball into the penalty area of ​​the Chinese team, got rid of Li Xuepeng with his stride, and made a kick to shoot.

Fortunately, Jingxuan returned to the penalty area in time, and a sliding shovel fell to the ground, blocking Nagatomo Yuto's shooting route.

Nagatomo Yuto could pass or shoot the ball, but at the last moment he chose to pass it to Ryoichi Maeda in the penalty area.

However, Jingxuan’s defensive range is very large. In order to avoid Jingxuan’s pass, Nagatomo Yuto’s pass was so wide that Maeda Ryoichi could only retreat two steps to get the ball. Pushing out of the penalty area, the Japanese team's offensive threat was resolved.

Ryoichi Maeda got the ball from outside the penalty area and then crossed it to Keisuke Honda. Shinji Kagawa suddenly started from the wing, but Keisuke Honda didn't pass it, but kicked the goal.

Chinese goalkeeper Zeng Cheng fell to the ground and saved the ball, then launched a counterattack.

Jingxuan caught the ball from Zeng Cheng in the middle of the run, dribbled the ball in the middle, passed Endo Yasuhito, and played a two-for-one cooperation with Deng Zhuoxiang in the frontcourt. After regaining the ball, he gave the Japanese team a diagonal plug In the restricted area.

After receiving the ball at high speed from the left, Yu Hi, facing the block of Japanese goalkeeper Eiji Kawashima, did not choose to pick Gao Lin who passed in the middle, but directly hit the close corner 7 meters away from the goal.

Eiji Kawashima's position was originally to close the near corner. He instinctively raised his hand to block and hit the ball out of the baseline.
The Chinese team missed another great opportunity to score.

But although Yu Hei didn't score the goal, at least he shot well, and at least got a corner kick, although a cross is a better choice.

Deng Zhuoxiang took a corner kick, Yoshida Asahi also jumped high and pushed the ball out of the penalty area. Zhao Yi kicked from outside the penalty area was already prepared, and he volleyed and fired an anti-aircraft gun, which was regarded as helping the Japanese team to clear the siege.

Taking advantage of the time when the ball was dead, Jingxuan stood on the court with his hips crossed. For the first time, he felt a sense of powerlessness, and sighed: "I can't move it, I can't move it! If this kind of ball is replaced by Milito or Eto'o, maybe every time Two or three shots can break the goal, but the teammates of the national team may not be able to score even 20 shots."

The head coach Gao Hongbo was relatively calm. I saw him pacing with his arms around his chest and his head bowed, as if he had long been used to it.

The Chinese team, which missed excellent opportunities one after another, was finally punished. In the 36th minute of the game, the Japanese team launched an attack from the right side. Sakai Kotoku and Okazaki Shinji hit the wall outside the penalty area of ​​the Chinese team and then entered the penalty area with a strong low kick. The flat ball swept to the middle.

At the first point, Maeda Liao missed a foot. Although Wang Qiang fell to the ground in the middle and hit the ball with a sliding shovel, Shinji Kagawa's supplementary shot at the second point broke Zeng Cheng's ten-finger pass. The Japanese team led 2:1 and reversed the score. Supernova Shinji Kagawa scored two goals in a row.

At this moment, a large number of Chinese fans on the webcast platform began to complain, some said that the Chinese team's defense was poor; some accused Yang Xu and Yu Hei of wasting opportunities; Of course, the players on the court cannot know these comments.

After 40 minutes into the first half, the Chinese team's physical fitness declined very obviously. Not to mention the tight frontcourt, the defense was also full of loopholes.

In the 42nd minute of the game, under the interference of Makoto Hasebe, Jingxuan stabbed Zhao Ziri with a slightly larger ball. After Zhao Ziri caught up with the ball, he hurriedly made a pass error in the face of the Japanese team's pressure. Launch a counterattack after the ball.

Keisuke Honda missed the ball in front of the restricted area, and Shinji Kagawa behind received the ball in the restricted area and dunked Li Xuepeng's inverted triangle pass to the middle. When Honda caught up with the ball, he made physical contact with Jingxuan who was defending him and fell to the ground. The Japanese team raised their hands to ask for a point The referee didn't say anything about the ball.

In fact, the slow motion shows that Keisuke Honda was in a favorable position at that time. Jingxuan did hit Keisuke Honda from the side and rear, causing the latter to lose his center of gravity and fall to the ground. Strictly speaking, this is undoubtedly a penalty, but it seems that many people do not want it to be a penalty. .

In the 45th minute of the game, the Japanese team made a comeback. Nagatomo Yuto caught the ball from Shinji Kagawa's heel and inserted it into the bottom line of the Chinese team's penalty area. Facing Li Xuepeng's defensive choice, he rubbed the ball to the back of the goal.Shinji Okazaki jumped high and headed the ball to the top, but limited by his height, his header only slightly touched the lower edge of the ball. The ball was higher than the crossbar, and the Chinese team escaped again.

If it weren't for the bad luck of the Japanese team and some human interference, the score on the field might have become 1:4 at this moment.

Since Jingxuan became a professional player, he has not played so uselessly in a game, let alone facing only the Japanese team at the Asian level.

If this game is replaced by the Japanese team VS Inter Milan, I am afraid that the Japanese team's goal has become a sieve at this moment, but the reality is that the Chinese team's goal may become a sieve.

There was 2 minutes of stoppage time in the first half. In the 46th minute of the game, Jingxuan intercepted Makoto Hasebe and led him to the penalty area of ​​the Japanese team. At this moment, he had Yu Hei on the left, Gao Lin on the right, Yang Xu in front, and Yang Xu on his side. It was Deng Core, but Jingxuan only had himself in his eyes.

To be honest, he doesn't trust his teammates anymore. Although he understands that he shouldn't have such thoughts, after all, the strength of a team is always greater than that of an individual, but that kind of harmonious picture often only exists in Japanese manga, and today's fight is Japanese team.

At this time, the defensive players of the Japanese team seemed to have a good understanding with Jingxuan, knowing that Jingxuan could not pass the ball, so the three Japanese players surrounded Jingxuan from different directions, and let go of the other offensive players of the Chinese team.

Jingxuan was a little annoyed, and he simply shot the goal. His ball hit the ball with great force and hit the lower abdomen of Yasuyuki Konno, who was defending him, and the latter fell to the ground instantly.

Then Jingxuan did not wait for the ball to land, and volleyed 30 feet away from the goal. The strength of the instep was great. The ball quickly rose to the highest point, then fell and hit the goalpost and bounced out. Eiji Kawashima flew to save and fell to the ground .

Then Comrade Yu Hao headed the ball to the top to make up for the empty goal. As a result, the ball missed the top and flew out of the bottom line by rubbing against the post.

Seeing the constantly reversed scene in front of him, Jingxuan was so excited that he almost couldn't catch up and went into shock on the spot.

He admitted that at the moment of Yu Hai's follow-up shot just now, there was a trace of surprise and excitement in his heart, as if he was trapped in the dark

The lamb saw a glimmer of light, but ran desperately to find it was a cliff.

As Yu Hai's header went wide, the referee blew the whistle to end the first half.

In the first half of the much-anticipated Asian Cup knockout match, the Japanese team led the Chinese team 2:1.
