King of the Zone

Before the match against Italy, the Huaguo team naturally had their own training.

In daily training, Cheng Hai broke through the skills of the master, making it even more difficult for the Hua Guo team's own players to guard against.

Everyone can also see that Cheng Hai's breakthrough technology has improved again, and it is more difficult to figure out than before. It is impossible to guess which direction and method Cheng Hai will use to break through.

Almost no one in the Huaguo national team can cause trouble for Cheng Hai in a one-on-one interception.

Unless two or three people defend together, it is possible to interfere with Cheng Hai.But because of the poor strength of Hua Guo's players, even if two or three of them defend together, there is a high probability that they will be defeated by Cheng Hai one by one, and the number of times they can stop Cheng Hai is very small.

Everyone is more confident about the match against Italy.

After all, they can qualify as long as they draw.Italy, on the other hand, must attack and score goals.

This gave Cheng Hai a good opportunity to fight back.

Everyone is full of expectations for the draw with Italy and qualifying for the group stage.

However, before the game against Italy on June 6, Cheng Hai, the captain, poured cold water on everyone in the locker room.

"I want you to be clear that Italy is the top team in the world, the World Cup champions."

"In terms of experience in the World Series, they are much higher than Mexico. In fact, they are a strong team at the same level as Brazil."

"Facing such a strong team, why do we think we can draw with our opponents?"

"How many times in the history of the national football team can you qualify for a draw but lose in the end? I hope everyone thinks about it seriously."

"Actually, qualifying for a tie is a trap in itself. It will make us lose our fighting spirit and motivation to attack."

"Although I mainly play the counterattack in the game, I still have to rely on you for the pass before the counterattack."

"You can't just defend and think that it's enough to keep the tie."

"After grabbing the ball, I still have to observe my position and try to pass a good ball to me so that I can successfully counterattack."

"It is indeed possible for us to draw with Italy to qualify for the group stage, but I hope everyone cheers up and don't ask for just a draw, but a victory over their opponents."

"Italy is not terrible. What is terrible is the trap of 'going out after a draw'. I hope everyone cheers up, defends carefully, and don't forget that I can still counterattack."

"We strive to win against Italy and qualify in a dignified manner, rather than relying on a draw to qualify."

Cheng Hai's words made the players wake up from a dream.

It is true that many people played this game with the idea that as long as they defend a draw, they can qualify.

But Cheng Hai's words reminded everyone of the tragedy of how many times in the history of the national football team that "a tie can qualify" and finally lost.

This kind of thinking that "you can qualify for a tie" is indeed a huge trap. It will make people lose their aggressiveness and can only defend passively.

But where in the world is there a line of defense that never concedes the ball?

Even the Italian team, which is good at defense, dare not say this, let alone the Huaguo team?
Therefore, as the captain Cheng Hai said, everyone should cheer up and charge towards victory, instead of playing with the idea of ​​"a tie will qualify".

Seeing that everyone's faces became serious, Cheng Hai finally had some confidence in his heart.

Otherwise, even with his current breakthrough master technology, he may not be able to draw with Italy!

The ancestor who can defend in chains, Cheng Hai is not sure whether he can break through the Italian defense line by fighting alone.

Even if the breakthrough technology is upgraded to a master, he is not sure.

2013年6月22日下午17:00，巴西联合会杯小组赛A组最后一轮意大利VS华国的比赛在巴西第五大城市累西腓展开对决。

Before this game, both Italy and Hua Guo scored 3 points with one win and one loss, but the goal difference of the Hua Guo team was more than that of Italy, which led to the fact that Italy had to win this game to qualify.

As for the Hua Guo team, as long as they draw, they can qualify.

This made Italy have to aggressively press the offense after the start of the game, trying to get an early goal lead.

There are superstars such as Balotelli, De Rossi, and Pirlo in the Italian team, and the offense is indeed very threatening.

If the players of the Huaguo team still hold the fluke mentality of "a tie can qualify", I am afraid that they will really be scored by Italy.

But under the reminder of Cheng Hai, everyone cheered up and devoted themselves to the game. Finally, they took advantage of the numerical advantage in the defense to block Italy's opening three tricks and prevent Italy from scoring.

On the contrary, it was Cheng Hai who broke through the skills of the master and caught the Italian team by surprise.

In the previous competition, although Cheng Hai had a lot of full-value breakthrough skills, the transition and control between them were not very smooth.

But now it was different, Cheng Hai made it easy for him to use what action under what circumstances, without any hesitation.

After the first breakthrough was blocked by two defenders, Cheng Hai's second counterattack penetrated the Italian's defense in the 5th minute.

His freehand and freehand quick breakthrough made Italy's chain defense lose its effect.

Because Cheng Hai is not only a master of breakthrough technology, but also has a full speed. The breakthrough is much faster than the average player. The Italian team can't even stop Cheng Hai.

In the end, Cheng Hai's counterattack successfully passed four people in a row, and finally entered the penalty area and hit the close corner successfully.

The Huaguo team took the lead in the score just like the match against Mexico in the second scene.

For the Hua Guo team, which can qualify for a tie, it is tantamount to a top-two goal.

Therefore, the Huaguo fans on the scene and in front of the TV were extremely excited to see Cheng Hai sending the ball into the Italian net with four players in a row.

The Huaguo CCTV commentator in the commentary seat also jumped up, stood up and shouted with a microphone:

"The ball is in, it's in, it's in..."

"Cheng Hai scored another long-distance counterattack goal with four players in a row!"

"The national football team scored the first goal, leading Italy 1-0, and took the initiative to qualify for the group!"

Indeed, after the Hua Guo team scored the first goal, Italy must score at least two goals in the next game in order to beat the Hua Guo team in terms of score and obtain the right to qualify for the group stage.

Cheng Hai's goal pushed Italy into a desperate situation.

On the one hand, they have to win.

On the other hand, the breakthrough strength shown by Cheng Hai in these two counterattacks surprised the Italians.

Even from the point of view that they are good at defense, Cheng Hai's current breakthrough skills have made it difficult for them to defend.

Not to mention the one-person-by-person refueling tactics, it will almost certainly be passed.

Even if two or three people defend together, they may not be able to stop Cheng Hai.

Therefore, Italy's defense must stay behind to prevent Cheng Hai from counterattacking.

The rest of them can only face the Hua Guo team's bus defense except Cheng Hai.

Insufficient offensive power has become Italy's biggest problem.

Although enough people were left in the backcourt to temporarily contain Cheng Hai's counterattack, Italy's failure to score is still scratching the head.

If the game ends with this score, then Italy will naturally be completely cold and can only watch the Chinese team qualify.

Therefore, after attacking for more than ten, twenty, 10 minutes and never seeing the hope of scoring, Italy can only strengthen its offensive strength and let the full-backs or midfielders on both sides take turns to insert assists.

Finally, in the 29th minute, Italy scored its first goal.

It was De Rossi who scored the goal. He received a long shot from his teammate's inverted triangle pass from the penalty area line to help Italy score the first goal and tie the score at 1-1.

But this is not enough. If the game is finally tied, Italy will be eliminated, and the Hua Guo team will qualify for the group stage with the advantage of goal difference.

Therefore, in the next game, Italy will continue to implement the strategy just now, allowing the defenders and midfielders on both sides to take turns to insert assists and strengthen the offense.

However, before Italy scored another goal to overtake the score, in the 35th minute, the Hua Guo team scored again.

This attack came from the Hua Guo team's big foot clearance in the backcourt. After unloading the ball in the midfield, Cheng Hai, through a series of dazzling breakthroughs, broke through the interceptions of the three Italian defenders in a row, dribbled the ball to the penalty area line and scored.

Cheng Haiyan scored twice to help the Hua Guo team take a 2-1 lead again, and Italy faced the dilemma of scoring two goals to qualify for the group.

No way, Italy can only continue to attack.

Knowing that strengthening the offense will lead to weak defense, they have nothing to do.

As a result, before the end of the first half, it was Cheng Hai's master-level breakthrough technique that allowed him to dribble the ball into the penalty area and was about to form a shot.

Everyone knows Cheng Hai's shooting skills, and his shots in the penalty area are almost [-]%.

So, in desperation, Barzali, the defender who was chasing back, suddenly stretched out his hand and pushed Cheng Hai down.

As a result, Cheng Hai, who was dribbling the ball at high speed, was caught off guard and fell to the ground, losing control of the ball.

But the Italian players and fans were not happy, and did not feel that Barzagli had done an excellent defense.

Because it was inside the restricted area, Barzagli received a yellow card and awarded Hua Guo a penalty.

It was a death sentence for Italy.

But there was no way, no matter what the sober Barzagli explained, the referee still firmly believed that Barzagli had fouled in the penalty area and the Hua Guo team should be awarded a penalty.

No way, no matter how the Italians protested and fought for it, the penalty kick was gone.

Barzagli's foul was so obvious that even the fans could see it, let alone the referee?
Therefore, the Italian team's protest was useless at all, and the penalty was awarded.

No accident, the penalty kick was taken by Cheng Hailai.Although Buffon is one of the top goalkeepers in the world, he can't do anything about Cheng Hai's penalty kick.

The ball flew into the upper left corner of the goal without any suspense, but Buffon jumped at the lower right corner, even the direction was reversed, he could only turn his head and watch the ball fly into the net in despair.

Cheng Hai performed another hat-trick to help the Huaguo team take a 3-1 lead.

This makes it more difficult for Italy. They must score 3 goals in the next game to qualify for the group.

After the game restarted, although Italy wanted to attack aggressively and score immediately, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half. The two sides entered the intermission with a score of 1-3, and Hua Guo temporarily led by two goals.
