King of the Zone

Chapter 14 Overtime

Cheng Hai's goal boosted the morale of the Yuzhou University players.

Although we still can't compare with the players of Western Normal University in terms of physical fitness and physique, we still blocked Western Normal University's offense from outside the penalty area by shrinking the formation and actively running and assisting defense.

In addition, the Uighur players are really rough technically. Even if they occasionally score into the penalty area or get a chance to shoot, it is difficult to hit the ball into the goal frame to pose a threat.

Finally, the first half came to an end in the stalemate between the two sides. The referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half, and the two sides entered the intermission with a score of 1-1.

It seemed that the two sides were tied in the first half. However, when the game ended, all the Yuzhou University players except Cheng Haiwai were out of breath. It felt like they were exhausted after only playing the first half.

It is because the Uyghur players of Western Regions Normal University are too strong in physical fitness and physique. The confrontation and running distance of this game are stronger than any game that Yuzhou University has experienced before.

Except for Cheng Hai who goes into deep sleep through systematic dream training every night and can fully restore his physical and mental state, the other players have reached the verge of collapse in physical fitness after two consecutive games for three days.

Especially a defensive midfielder, from the group stage to the present, he has all started and has not rested in a game.

In addition, Yuzhou University's own strength is not outstanding, almost all rely on Cheng Hai to get the system and open the plug-in goal to reach the final. During this period, this main defensive midfielder started every game and undertook a lot of defensive pressure, and the running distance was very large.

Although he is not a professional league player, he is not a professional player himself, and he played two games for three consecutive days, and was almost dragged off the field by his teammates during the halftime break.

Seeing that the main midfielder seemed to be unable to persist in the game, coach Tan Tangping had to replace him with a substitute midfielder during the intermission.

As a result, due to the lack of games played and lack of coordination, shortly after the start of the second half, the substitute midfielder made a mistake at the front of his penalty area.

Facing the Western Normal University attacking midfielder who reached the front of the penalty area with the ball, when there was already a central defender going up to intercept, he did not retreat into the penalty area to fill the position of the attacking central defender, but rushed up in a swarm.

As a result, there was a gap in the penalty area. Before Yuzhou University's midfielder and central defender approached, the opponent's front midfielder passed the ball into the penalty area with a ground pass. Another striker from Western Regions Normal University, Yeheya, inserted in time and volleyed the ball non-stop before Yuzhou University's defender made a clearance, drawing the ball into the goal.

The score became 2-1, and Xiyu Normal University took the lead again.

The substitute midfielder who made a mistake was very frustrated, but it was impossible for Yuzhou University to replace him at this time.

Besides, there is no full-time midfielder in the team anymore.Everyone could only comfort him and continue the game.

The morale of Western Normal University, which scored a goal, was greatly boosted. They continued to press forward and wanted to make persistent efforts. If they scored another goal to expand the score, their victory would be stable.

However, in the face of Yuzhou University's intensive defense, the Western Regions Normal University players with rough skills can't do much.

The substitute midfielder who made a mistake just now and lost the ball is even more courageous after knowing his shame. He used his abundant physical fitness to interfere and destroy a large area at the front of the penalty area, making it even more difficult for Xiyu Normal University to score the ball into the penalty area and pose a threat.

At the same time, Yuzhou University, which was passively defending, did not forget to counterattack when Western Normal University was aggressively attacking.

After all, they are the ones who are behind. If they don't fight back, they will surrender.

Only one goal behind, it is impossible for any team to concede defeat.

Although Xiyu Normal University has paid great attention to marking Cheng Hai and destroyed his first two counterattacks in the second half, in the 68th minute, Cheng Hai finally got an excellent counterattack opportunity by relying on his off-ball movement and speed.

This counterattack relied on Cheng Hai's offside movement and speed to succeed in countering offside.

Although the speed slowed down when he stopped the ball and was stuck to his body by the opponent's returning center back, Cheng Hai's physique allowed him to resist the opponent's collision.

Although Cheng Hai's dribbling skill is only 10 points, but with his strong physique and good speed, it is enough for him to control the ball without letting the Uighur defender next to him destroy it.

In the entanglement with the opponent's defender, Cheng Hai successfully dribbled the ball to the top of the penalty area of ​​Xiyu Normal University.

Seeing that he was about to enter the penalty area, the opponent's defender who had been entangled with Cheng Hai lost his heart, fell to the ground and came from the side with a flying shovel, trying to tackle Cheng Hai with the ball.

In this case, he felt that even if he got a red card for a foul, he would not hesitate to stop Cheng Hai from entering the penalty area.

Unfortunately, his movements were a step slow.

At the same time as he was making a flying shovel, Cheng Hai also saw the goalkeeper's position, and volleyed the ball towards the far corner of the goal with a running volley.

As soon as Cheng Hai finished his shot, he was tackled by the defender next to him.

But at this moment, the ball had already left Cheng Hai's feet, and rushed towards the far corner of the goal against the turf.

Despite the interference from people around him, Cheng Hai's 15-point physique allowed him to stabilize his body, and with the blessing of 20-point full-value shooting skills, he shot a shot from a very tricky angle.

The goalkeeper's position is relatively close, because he feels that Cheng Hai is more likely to play close.

Unexpectedly, Cheng Hai hit the far corner, which deviated from his prediction.

In addition, the reaction speed of amateur players is not as fast as that of professional players, so the ball rolled past him before he had time to pounce.

At this time, it is meaningless to save again.

So, he gave up the save and just turned his head to look at the ball, hoping that Cheng Hai's shot would miss the far goal.

However, things backfired and his prayers didn't work.

The ball precisely stuck to the far post, and got into the goal of Western Normal University: a dead end in an absolute sense.

In the 68th minute of the second half, Cheng Haimei scored twice to equalize the score for Yuzhou University again. The score between the two sides was 2-2. Cheng Hai also rose to level 100 6/500 with 2000 points of experience scored.

Seeing Cheng Hai's shot into the dead corner, all the audience around the court applauded enthusiastically.

Scout Emory, in particular, jumped up from his seat, applauded and applauded, and looked at Cheng Hai with bright eyes, which were full of surprise of discovering gems.

Cheng Hai's first goal was from a dead corner, and the second goal was from a dead corner.

This is enough for Emory to judge that although Cheng Hai's other physical fitness and skills are a bit off, his shooting skills are really good enough to gain a foothold in the top European leagues.

He can't wait to take Cheng Hai to Europe for trial training.

On the field, Cheng Hai and his teammates also celebrated enthusiastically.

In the unfavorable situation, they evened the score again.

The psychological effect of this ball on both sides is completely different.

For Yuzhou University, they fell behind twice and equalized twice, showing their spirit of becoming more and more courageous as they get frustrated.

For the Western Region Normal University players, leading twice and being equalized twice, there is a feeling that no matter how they fight, they can't win and the opponent can equalize.

Therefore, after the start of the game, Yuzhou University's morale was boosted, and they pressed on the offense, almost turning the game over and playing against Western Normal University.

It's a pity that due to physical reasons, this state did not last long, and was quickly overwhelmed by the Western Region Normal University, and the previous game state was restored.

As the game time passed, the players of Xiyu Normal University became more and more impatient.

They are not willing to win the game after leading twice and being equalized twice. They really want to resolve the battle within 90 minutes and prove their strength.

The fierce game rhythm and scrambling and collision caused the players of Yuzhou University to consume more and more physical energy.

Finally, in the 84th minute, a full-back from Yuzhou University was replaced due to thigh cramps caused by violent running.

Xiyu Normal University's offense is more violent, hoping to use the last few minutes to score goals and win the final.

However, things backfired. Although Yuzhou University’s physical fitness is not as good as that of Western Region Normal University, its technology and discipline are better than the opponent’s.

With everyone's concerted efforts to shrink the defense, Yuzhou University defended the last few minutes of the game and did not let Xiyu Normal University score a goal.

After 3 minutes of stoppage time, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the 90-minute regular game. With Cheng Hai's brace, Yuzhou University and Xiyu Normal University drew 2-2, and the two sides needed an overtime match.

This is another major psychological blow to Xiyu Normal University, which has always occupied the advantage on the field, led twice but was equalized twice.

For Yuzhou University, which is obviously at a disadvantage, although the physical consumption will be more serious in the 30-minute overtime game, everyone has stronger psychological confidence after falling behind twice and equalizing twice, resisting the opponent's attack and dragging the game into overtime.

In addition, in view of the lack of physical fitness of college players, after entering overtime, both teams can get a substitute place again.

In other words, when Yuzhou University used up two substitute places before, there are still two substitute places in overtime to prevent accidents.

After a short break, the first half of overtime began.

It is still a situation where Western Normal University is suppressing Yuzhou University, but compared to the 90-minute regular season, the opponent's offensive intensity is much lower.

Because these Uighur players are not iron men.

Although their physical fitness is better than the mainland players, they are not so good that after playing six games in two consecutive days and two games, they can go all out to press and attack in the overtime of the sixth game.

Therefore, in the first half of overtime, Western Normal University did not create any decent offensive opportunities.

On the other hand, Yuzhou University, because Cheng Hai can get enough sleep and rest every night and doesn't need to participate in the defense, so he still has the stamina to counterattack and create two good offenses.

Unfortunately, after he scored twice and equalized the score twice, Xiyu Normal University defended him quite tightly, and failed to score in both attacks.

Both sides failed to score in the first half of extra time, and the score was still 2-2.

At the end of the first half, the two sides took a break again, and then started the last 15 minutes of extra time in the second half.
