King of the Zone

Although Australian defender Ogonowski pushed Cheng Hai around, trying to push him away to compete for the top, Cheng Hai's full physique and balance ability allowed him to easily resist Ogonowski's impact and occupy the ball.

Then, the ball fell, and Cheng Hai used his full-value stopping skills to easily unload the ball, but his back was facing the attacking direction at this time, and the opponent's defender Ogonovski was stuck behind him, making him unable to turn around for a short time.

With Cheng Hai's dribbling skills, in fact, just a few back and forth kicks are enough to complete the turn, and then use his full-value Matthews fake to break through.

But that was too slow.

When Cheng Hai broke through like that, the day lily was cold, and the other Australian midfielders had already returned to defense.

You know, if a professional football player sprints back to the defense with all his strength, he can definitely do it at six or seven meters per second, and even faster can run to eight or nine meters.

Therefore, Cheng Hai did not break through slowly by himself, but kicked the ball to the middle after stopping the ball.

Because it was a counterattack, Deng Zhuoxiang, who was in the middle, was one line faster than the opponent's defensive midfielder, and successfully received Cheng Hai's pass.

On Cheng Hai's side, after passing the ball, he easily completed the turn without the ball, and then used the change of direction, super fast speed and explosive power to easily get rid of Ogonovsky and rushed to the front of the penalty area.

At this time, Deng Zhuoxiang, who had already been caught up and pulled by the opponent's midfielder, passed the ball in time without being destroyed by the opponent's midfielder.

Cheng Hai successfully received Deng Zhuoxiang's pass at the front of the penalty area. At this time, Ogonovsky was chasing after him, about 2 meters away.

On the front line of the penalty area is the No. 3 central defender Carney who retreated at full speed just now. His role is to slow down Cheng Hai's offensive rhythm at this time.

Don't try to block Cheng Hai, as long as you delay Cheng Hai for half a second, Ogonovsky behind Cheng Hai can catch up with him, and together with Carney, form a double-team for Cheng Hai.

Carney was also mentally prepared for Cheng Hai's extraordinary moves.

Anyway, based on the current information, Cheng Hai can only do one trick: Matthews fake action.

As long as you pay attention when Cheng Hai uses this trick, it can still be stopped.

Then, when Cheng Hai leaned to the right and seemed about to break through to the right, Carney also tilted a little to the right, but he had enough energy left. He felt that Cheng Hai must have used Matthews' fake move for this breakthrough, and he was about to break through to the other side.

His subsequent movement to the right is also a fake move, and the center of gravity of his body is actually ready to counterattack to the left and intercept Chenghai Matthews' fake move.

However, in a blink of an eye, just as he was about to pounce to the left and intercept Cheng Hai's breakthrough from the other side, he was shocked to see that Cheng Hai didn't make a Matthews fake move at all, but actually swung the ball to the right and directly passed by with lightning speed.

Although Cheng Hai only has Matthews' fake move, he still has full acceleration and physique.

He can use his speed and size to wade past the defender, or he can use Matthews' fake moves to make the defender lose his center of gravity and then break through from the opponent's other side.

The full value of Matthews' fake moves allows Cheng Hai to use them with ease.

This time, the moment Cheng Hai used this movement, he found that Carney's body was not moving much, obviously preventing Cheng Hai from making a fake move, and his real intention was to break through from the other side.

Because the opponent was prepared, if Cheng Hai really used Matthews' fake move, he might actually hit the muzzle of the gun, and Carney immediately turned back to stop him.

As a result, Cheng Hai, with full skills and perfect control ability, immediately gave up Matthews' fake move, pushed the ball to the right side, and broke through the penalty area from the right side.

Although Carney's body was on the right side, because the center of gravity was ready to pounce back to the left, Cheng Hai's breakthrough interception was not timely.

Although it was blocked for a while, the impact was not strong, and it was not a block at all to Cheng Hai, who had a full physique.

Cheng Hai easily knocked away Carney, who was in the wrong direction of gravity, and took the ball into the penalty area.

Although Ogonovsky behind him had already chased Cheng Hai, he didn't dare to tackle the ball anymore because Cheng Hai had already entered the penalty area.

Once he makes an inaccurate tackle and causes a foul, he will not only be penalized with a penalty kick, but may also receive a yellow card.

At the moment when Ogonowski hesitated, Cheng Hai, who dribbled the ball into the penalty area, did not give him any time to hesitate.

Cheng Hai stretched out his hand to resist Ogonovski's push, and at the same time, he volleyed a close corner to the goalkeeper Schwarzer who was guarding the small penalty area.

Although Schwarzer immediately fell down and made a save, the distance was too close, and the ball slipped past his armpit before he fell, and got into the goal behind him.

In just 6 minutes of the opening, Cheng Hai scored a goal to help the Hua Guo team lead Australia 1-0, and the Hua Guo team made a fantastic start in the final.

When this was a scene that no one thought of before the game.

In the semi-finals, when the Hua Guo team struggled to advance 2-1 to South Korea, and Australia 4-0 massacred Japan to advance to the final easily, everyone thought that the Hua Guo team in the final was more or less fortunate.

Even if the Hua Guo team can win, I am afraid it will be very difficult to win.

However, no one expected that the Huaguo team would score in the 6th minute of the game.

The moment the ball flew into the net, the CCTV-5 commentator on the commentary seat stood up excitedly and shouted loudly:
"The ball is in!"

"The ball is in!"

"The ball went in, it went in, it went in, it went in..."

"In the 6th minute, the Hua Guo team scored a goal."

"It was Cheng Hai who scored the goal!"

"The Hua Guo team played an efficient counterattack, and finally Cheng Hai sent the ball into Australia's goal!"

"The Hua Guo team has made a fantastic start!"

In the stands and in front of the TV, countless Chinese and overseas Chinese fans were also erupting in an instant. Everyone applauded, cheered, roared, and screamed with the greatest strength to vent their excitement.

This goal greatly relieved the tension in the hearts of the fans. After the celebration, everyone started discussing excitedly:
"Damn it, the game has just started, Cheng Hai scored a goal, it's awesome!"

"I thought Australia was so difficult to play, which made me nervous, but I didn't expect that we scored a goal in the first 6 minutes!"

"Australia seems to be nothing more than that!"

"Yeah! Now I can finally feel relieved. No matter what the final result is, at least we are in the lead now. Now it's time for Australia to worry."

Indeed, after the 4-0 victory over Japan, the Australian players have enough confidence to defeat the Huaguo team led by Cheng Hai in the final, compared with the Huaguo team's 2-1 difficult victory over South Korea.

Even if Cheng Hai has super personal ability and can score one or two goals, in the end they will still rely on their overall strength to easily defeat the Hua Guo team to win the championship.

After the game started, the mentality of the Australian players was very relaxed.

Unexpectedly, the game had just started 6 minutes ago, and some people hadn't adapted to the atmosphere of the final, so they conceded the ball.

The one who scored the goal was Cheng Hai, who was repeatedly told by the head coach to be stared at before the game, but Cheng Hai still scored the goal.

Everyone expected to be scored by the Hua Guo team and Cheng Hai, but they didn't expect to concede the goal in the opening 6 minutes, let alone the Hua Guo team scored first, and they were behind.

They become chasers.

This is depressing.

However, the game still has to go on.

After Cheng Hai and his teammates celebrated for more than 20 seconds, the Australian players, who fell behind in the score and got angry, couldn't help but complained to the referee, complaining that the Chinese team celebrated for too long and was suspected of delaying time.

Under the intervention of the referee, the Hua Guo team finally ended their celebration and returned to their own half, waiting for Australia to open the ball.

After the game restarted, the Australian formation, eager to equalize the score, pressed even higher, wanting to score as soon as possible to equalize the score.

Australia's overall strength is unquestionable. Regardless of its technical level, physical fitness, and teamwork, it is much better than the Hua Guo team.

This led to even though the Hua Guo team shrank their formation and carried out extremely intensive defense, it still gave Australia a lot of shooting opportunities.

However, unlike everyone's expectation that Australia would be in full swing in the semi-finals, Australia seemed to have run out of luck in the semi-finals. This game has been gaining momentum without scoring, and has been unable to score goals for a long time.

In the 8th minute, only 22 minutes after Cheng Hai's goal, Australia hit the offense outside the penalty area. No. 10 striker Kewell shot angrily from outside the penalty area. The ball passed through the penalty area like a shell and flew towards the goal.

Although the goalkeeper Yang Zhi made a save, it seemed that he was beyond his reach, and he might not be able to touch the ball.

Just when many Australian fans stood up in the stands and were about to celebrate the goal, they only heard a "bang", and the heavy ball hit the goal post, shaking the goal, which shows how powerful Kewell's shot is.

However, the power is useless because the ball is not scored.

The ball hit the goal post and bounced back to the penalty area, and then was kicked out of the penalty area by the Hua Guo team defender to clear the siege.

Kewell put his head in his hands, looked up to the sky and let out a long sigh, feeling that he was out of luck.

But he didn't expect that this shot at the center post was just a microcosm of Australia's game.

After a while, in the 13th minute, the Australian winger broke through and made a bottom pass. No one in the middle could hit the ball. The ball fell to the back point and was grabbed by the Australian winger Valeri.

Although the height of the ball at the back point is a bit low, but if you lower your head a little, you can still head the ball into the goal.

But Valeri didn't know what to think. Instead of heading the ball, he shot a volley in the air, perhaps to show the explosive power of his shot.

As a result, this explosive shot that was close at hand made him miss the kick.

The ball just missed the post and slammed into the billboard behind, startling the photographer behind the billboard, but a close shot was wasted by Valéry.

After completing the shot, Valeri also held his head in his hands, looking unbelievable. Obviously, he also felt that it was a bit inconceivable that he kicked this shot that was so close at hand.

However, Australia's bad luck is not over yet.

Although the overall strength of the Huaguo team is biased, it is still relatively difficult to break into the Huaguo team's penalty area when the Huaguo team shrinks its formation and defends intensively.

Breaking the dense defense is a problem for all teams in the world, even those powerful giants.

But in the 17th minute, there was a loophole in the Hua Guo team's defense, and was caught by Australian midfielder McKay, who sent the ball to the space on the right side of the penalty area in the penalty area.

Forward Cahill also spotted the gap and was there just in time to follow McKay's pass and volley the ball into the far corner.

This ball is very good in terms of strength and angle. If there is no accident, it should be able to hit the goal frame and score a goal.

However, what people did not expect was that Yang Zhi, the goalkeeper of the Huaguo team, made a world-class save. He almost rushed to the far corner the moment McKay kicked.

Then, before the ball went into the net, his flying save was just in place and he palmed the ball out of the post.

The Australian players, who were about to celebrate their goals, looked at Yang Zhi who had stood up and was surrounded by his teammates, showing a hellish expression.

The shot just now, even world-class goalkeepers like Petr Cech, Buffon, and Iker Casillas, may be difficult to save.

Unexpectedly, a goalkeeper of the Hua Guo team performed exceptionally and made a world-class save to keep the ball out.

Not only that, but after wasting chances one after another, Australia were hit hard again in the 27th minute.

This time, the Hua Guo team's long pass from the backcourt matched Cheng Hai's speed and running position, so that the two central defenders in Australia couldn't even retreat, and Cheng Hai used their speed and running position to overtake them.

At the front of the penalty area, Cheng Hai didn't even stop the ball when he faced the attacking goalkeeper Schwarzer. He directly stretched out his foot to pad the ball that fell in the air, and the ball bounced again, passed over Schwarzer's head, and flew towards the goal.

During the run, Cheng Hai made a non-stop volley and lobbed the ball over the goalkeeper's head.

Defender Ognowski, who was struggling to chase back, rushed past Cheng Hai and Schwarzer in an instant, wanting to come to the goal line to rescue them.

However, the ball eventually landed in the goal before he tried to hook the foot to clear the ball.

Ogonowski kicked nothing and crashed into the goal with the ball.

In the 27th minute of the first half, Cheng Hai scored twice to extend the score to 2-0, and the Hua Guo team was even more excited.

The Australian players, on the other hand, seemed a little lost.

Regardless of the ball possession rate, the number of shots, and the number of shots on target, Australia leads the Chinese team by a large margin.

As a result, they are now behind, and also two goals behind, which cannot but be frustrating and demoralizing.

The Australian manager was walking up and down the sidelines, but there was nothing he could do.

The tactics are appropriate, the starting players are the strongest, and the shooting opportunities created are not good, but he just can't score. He is also very helpless and can only act in a hurry.

In contrast, Cheng Hai's superb shooting skills are even more enviable and desperate.

However, no matter how anxious the heart is, the game still has to continue like this.

Australia may have really run out of luck in the 4-0 semi-final against Japan, a game where they couldn't score no matter how they played.

In the 34th minute, Australia got a free kick from the front side.

The free thrower sent the ball into the penalty area, and the midfielder Jedinak grabbed the first point and shook his head, but it was slightly higher than the crossbar.

In the 41st minute, Australia once again played an exquisite cooperation in the frontcourt and sent the ball to the gap in the penalty area. The full-back Holman who cut in from the wing received the ball and completed the shot.

In the end, Huaguo defender Dewey, who rushed over from the side, blocked the hole in time with a flying body, blocking the ball out of the baseline.

Just before the end of the first half, Australia got another chance to shoot from the penalty area line. As a result, full-back Wilkeshey, who assisted in the wing, kicked the ball over the crossbar.

Throughout the first half, Australia created no less than ten shot opportunities, which is quite high and quite astonishing.

In many games, the two teams may not be able to create ten shots throughout the game. Australia can have so many shots in the half-time. It can indeed be seen that Australia's overall strength is much higher than that of the Hua Guo team.

Moreover, these ten shots were not completely wave shots. They hit the goal frame 3 times, but they were either blocked by the hole or thrown by the goalkeeper. They also hit the post twice, and finally failed to score a goal.

The luck of the Kangaroos in today's final can be described as terrible.

In contrast, the Huaguo team scored two goals in the first half with only three successful counterattacks leading to shots.

Comparing the two, it seems that Australia is plagued by bad luck.

After 1 minute of stoppage time, the referee blew the whistle to end the first half. The two sides entered the intermission with a score of 2-0. The Hua Guo team temporarily led Australia by two goals.

During the intermission, commentators and guests from TV stations from various countries praised Cheng Hai's shooting skills and strength during the commentary, which is indeed the world's top.

However, everyone also lamented Australia's poor luck. Many people lamented that Australia must have run out of luck in the semifinals.

Otherwise, it would not be possible to beat Japan 4-0 in the semi-finals, let alone score so many shots in the final without scoring a single goal.

This is so abnormal.

It can only be attributed to luck.

After a 15-minute break, the two sides changed sides and fought again. Australia, which was behind by two goals, had no choice but to continue to press forward and bombard the Hua Guo team's penalty area indiscriminately.

The Huaguo team made a substitution adjustment, replacing Zhao Xuri, who had received a yellow card for defense in the first half, and replaced him with Zhou Haibin, who partnered with Zheng Zhi as a double midfielder, and continued to play defensive counterattacks, generally solid defense, while waiting for the opportunity to see if they could get another chance to counterattack, and Cheng Hai scored a goal to completely kill the game.
