ball at foot

Zhao Yaning also analyzed this question before the game: How much stronger is Ukraine’s strength than the Chinese team?

Although they have a world ranking of No. 15 that can be used as a reference, this world No. 15 must have overestimated Ukraine - things like world rankings are not very reliable after all.It has too much to do with the outcome of a team's game. Sometimes, the reference objects of the team's game are different, and the comparison results are different, so it is inevitable to be inaccurate.For example, Ukraine, because of their ten World Preliminaries, seven wins, two draws and one loss, their points were too high, and they jumped to No. 15 all of a sudden.And Spain and other teams are not even as good as them because of their poor grouping.Not to mention extreme examples such as Germany, which has fallen out of the top ten, but everyone knows that it is because they are the host country and do not need to play in the world preliminaries. There are much fewer games than others, and their natural points are much lower.

If Ukraine's strength has to be compared, Zhao Yaning feels that as a country of the former Soviet Union, they should be lower than Russia, which did not reach the World Cup finals.

If the Chinese team with Zhao Yaning is a third-rate team in the world, then even if Ukraine is stronger than the Chinese team, they are at most only half stronger, between the second-rate and the third-rate.Of course, Zhao Yaning’s habit of dividing the files is that the first file is the level that is likely to win the championship, the second file is the level that is likely to enter the semi-finals, and the third file is the group qualifying level-he is not interested in dividing it into eight. Strong sixteen.

Although Ukraine is good, their strength is slightly worse than the second-tier teams such as Mexico, England, Portugal, and Cameroon, not to mention the first-tier countries such as Italy, Germany, France, Brazil, and Argentina. .It is estimated that they are more excited when they see that the opponent they are facing is the Chinese team than when China sees that they are facing them. Maybe they are still cheering at this time. [

However, Zhao Yaning relaxed his mind at this time: Now, the Chinese team is the only remaining Asian team. The other national teams are all eliminated in the group stage, and one exception is the bottom.The Chinese team can get to this point, Zhao Yaning's pressure is gone.In the following competitions, winning is considered profitable, and losing is also so-called.

At this time, the domestic media still had extremely high hopes for this game. After all, Zhao Yaning had performed very well in the previous games, and he had adjusted to the best in terms of technique and physical condition. , For this World Cup game, it is obviously prepared.And being able to squeeze out the French team and won the first place in the group, and the opponent in the knockout round has changed from Spain to Ukraine. The morale of the Chinese team has also reached its peak. The current Chinese media naturally hope that the Chinese team will take a further step. A crucial step to win a knockout match, Daming King.

"As long as Zhao Yaning can persist in showing his high level, he will be able to successfully lead the Chinese team to the quarter-finals! Although Ukraine has Shevchenko, Shevchenko is old after all, and after experiencing the match-fixing case After that, Shevchenko's current state will definitely be affected. At this time, Zhao Yaning happened to have a great opportunity to defeat Shevchenko. In 05, Zhao Yaning already failed Shevchenko once. Shevchenko suffers!"

The attitude of the Chinese media is very optimistic, while most of the European media think that it is difficult to judge who will win this game.

"If you look at the overall strength, Shevchenko's Ukraine is naturally superior. But if you look at the individual state, Zhao Yaning's state in this World Cup is really too good. The progress against the French team Absolutely great ball, Vieira, Makelele, Sagnol, Thuram, Abidal, Barthez - scored a single goal in such a defensive line The ball, this goal is obviously one of the few bright spots in this competition. Later, when he played against Switzerland, the grab in the penalty area was even more shocking. Such speed and explosive power are definitely football history. It is rare to see. Zhao Yaning’s state is too good, with four goals in three games, such a state is rare. The existence of such a player is enough to make a weak team extremely threatening. The Ukrainian Whether he can defend Zhao Yaning will be the key to the outcome of the game.”

In the [-]-to-[-] match, apart from the match between the Netherlands and Portugal, France and Spain, there was no match between the strong and the strong. Therefore, this match between the weak and the weak attracted a lot of attention : Both teams are called a one-man team by the media. In this World Cup, Ukraine entered the knockout round for the first time, and the Chinese team also advanced to the knockout round for the first time. Zhao Yaning and Shevchenko’s outstanding performance The performance guaranteed the results of their respective teams. Now that they have met, it is also extremely eye-catching.

And when the game started, as the whistle blew, Zhao Yaning immediately felt that this was the case: Ukraine's strength, when facing the Chinese team, did not have an overwhelming advantage.

Their best is a pair of forwards in their forward line.Naturally, Shevchenko needless to say, and Voronin is also a very good striker.Milan is a strong team, and Bremen is also a strong team in the Bundesliga.With the two of them here, Ukraine's strength will naturally be overestimated.

And the Chinese team did not dare to relax at all for the two of them.In this game, the Chinese team did not have the kind of slack they had against Togo.They were playing almost as hard as they played against France, and it was difficult for Ukraine to make a hole in the Chinese team for a while.

This is also consistent with people's impression: these two teams are actually very insignificant, they can advance, not relying more on their excellent offense, but more relying on their solid defense and stars in front Field personal shine.What they are used to is not to play goal battles with the enemy, but more used to winning with one goal.

But this kind of game is also good-looking: everyone wants to see whose star is more dazzling.

This happened to be what Zhao Yaning wanted.What he wants is exactly how to play such a game with few goals.After all, when playing against a strong team, what Zhao Yaning needs to do is almost to break through the entire defense line of the opponent alone. Ten or eight times, Zhao Yaning didn't believe he could do it.

But Ukraine's defense is really good. It is obvious that Shevchenko alone is not enough to stand out from Europe, the most difficult division of the World Cup.Zhao Yaning tried to break through twice, but the opponent's defense was very tight, and he lacked teammates who could open up space or cooperate with passing and passing. He tried twice in a row but failed.Although Zhao Yaning now has superhuman ability and awareness, the opponent also has a tortoise awareness: they just guard the backcourt steadily, and the number of people deployed near the penalty area has always exceeded five people, and what Zhao Yaning needs is to pass Taking it all the way through halftime, it is impossible to get in with such a style of play.Once again staged against France when riding thousands of miles alone?Zhao Yaning believed that if he dared to do that, the opponent would dare to bring him down even if he got a red card.

Throughout the first half of the game, Zhao Yaning failed to find a suitable opportunity. Ukraine played very steadily. Their style of football is what Zhao Yaning is most afraid of now.

But soon, when the second half of the game started, Zhao Yaning discovered that their game style had changed.

"It seems like now, Ukraine wants to attack."

At this time, the Ukrainian team had already killed it. After a few simple passes, they easily kicked the ball across the half.This move made Zhao Yaning a little excited, and he also began to carefully observe the opponent's backcourt area.

He didn't participate in the defense in the past. He knew that at this time, what he should do was not to participate in the defense, but to prepare for the attack.

On the frontcourt, Daewoo started this game. His condition has not been very good. He has played poorly in the past few games. Zhao Yaning does not expect much from him.But in the backcourt, the Chinese team is already the strongest. Zhao Yaning's only thought now is to let them find a way to pass the ball to him so that he can make a decent attack. [

Shevchenko got the ball in the frontcourt at this time.He was flanked by Zhao Junzhe and Li Datou at the same time.He tried to break through Li Datou, but Li Datou grabbed his jersey, preventing him from succeeding.Shevchenko could choose to fall at this time, but he still thought about scoring a goal with his own strength.

He tried his best to get rid of Li Datou's entanglement, dodged half of his body, and then kicked the ball towards the goal.

Du Wei blocked it.After he took the ball down, he kicked it directly to the frontcourt.Zhao Yaning rushed up immediately, the ball didn’t land well, but Zhao Yaning still grabbed the first point, and then accelerated one step, rushing directly to the Ukrainian team’s backcourt.

"Zhaochao got the ball! Zhao Yaning started a high-speed impact! He rushed very fast!"

Zhao Yaning was running with all his strength at this time. There were three players near the opponent's penalty area. There were not many people, but their positions were very good.They tightly choked Zhao Yaning's inward cut line, forcing Zhao Yaning to run to the bottom line.

But at this time, Daewoo appeared in front of the goal.There was almost no defense around him, except for the goalkeeper who put some energy on him and the defenders let him go.

How to be good?

Zhao Yaning still chose to pass the ball.

His position is too bad, almost forced to the baseline position, a zero-degree angle position, such a position, it is too difficult to shoot.But Daewoo's position is less than ten meters in front of the goal. In such a place, his chances are great.

Although he has doubts about Daewoo's state, at this time, giving the ball to Daewoo is the best choice as a professional player.

Kick it, pass it!

Zhao Yaning's fake shot obviously deceived the defender very well, and when he retracted his foot, he kicked the ball lightly with his right foot and sent the ball out of the seam.The pass was concealed enough that the defenders didn't have time to react, and even the goalkeeper missed the ball. When Daewoo received the ball behind the goal, there was already an open space in front of him.

kick, shoot!

Accompanied by a huge cheer, Zhao Yaning could see that Daewoo faced the empty goal and kicked the ball into the net.The best opportunity since the opening, Zhao Yaning did not choose the wrong person to trust, Daewoo scored the goal, and the Chinese team took a 1-0 lead!

"Daewoo scored an excellent opportunity! We can see that he faced an empty goal, and with a very good attitude, he scored the first goal for the Chinese team! The Chinese team is now leading 1-0 Yes, the Chinese team is ahead of Ukraine!"

Daewoo raised his head and shouted to the surroundings.Zhao Yaning also smiled: He did not expect that this goal could be scored.But the moment he actually saw the ball hit the net, he was more excited than ever.

At least I proved that as long as I am willing to help them and have confidence in them, they can still give me something in return.I was able to feed them, which was a huge help to myself.Now, let me see if we can win this game!
