ball at foot

When the second game started, in addition to the injured Sun Jihe, Fan Zhiyi was also absent due to injury. Zhao Yaning occupied Sun Jihe's right midfielder position, while Du Wei was replaced on the back line.

And another change that surprised Zhao Yaning was that Yang Xi on the front line was replaced.

Yang Xi played well in the last game. Although he didn't score a goal and his feet were a little soft when shooting, these situations are very normal for a player who is participating in a major competition for the first time.But in this game, the coach put him on the bench without hesitation. If it had nothing to do with Dazhen's private operations, Zhao Yaning would never believe it.

Thinking of this, he understood why Zhang Yuan kept emphasizing that after he got to the national team, he had to build a good relationship with the team's big brothers no matter what.In this place, when the country plays football, it is not all based on strength, but also on the handling of interpersonal relationships and the competition of status in the world.Even if the strength is outstanding, if you don't have enough communication skills, you won't have a bright future.

Zhao Yaning is very lucky. He has a smart person like Zhang Yuan to take care of him and teach him how to do it. At the same time, he was born in a major sports province. Many fellow villagers speak for him and help him with affairs. His national team is the way to go smooth.Otherwise, with his own temper and dull mind, the national team would be an unfathomable pool of deep water for him, even if it wasn't a dragon's pond and a tiger's den. [

Yang Xi is an example. Although his qualifications are older than Zhao Yaning, he became famous earlier than Zhao Yaning, and he also played in a foreign country, and he played pretty well.But so what?If the leaders of the national team want to do something, he has no room to resist.

After replacing Yang Xi, the team replaced Zhao Junzhe, and the midfield changed from the diamond-shaped midfield position in the previous game to a double midfielder and three forwards.

The goalkeeper of the Brazilian team is Marcos, and the back three are Lucio, Edmilson and Junior.Further ahead, Cafu and Carlos acted as offensive full-backs, Gilberto served as the defensive midfielder, and Juninho served as the attacking midfielder.In front, there are Ronaldo, Ronaldinho and Rivaldo's strikers.

Very luxurious.This is Zhao Yaning's only feeling.Although many people think that compared with 98, the Brazilian team this year is not very good, there are not enough stars, and the momentum is not strong enough, but Zhao Yaning does not really think so.Juninho, Edmilson, Ronaldinho, and even Gilberto are indeed not well-known, but they are definitely powerful stars.Compared with them, the Brazilian team in 98 is more famous, but in terms of strength, it is not necessarily much stronger.It's just that there was an incomparable alien in Brazil that year, who was highly regarded too much.

But even in the face of such a powerful enemy, it is not completely without any chance.This was Zhao Yaning's next thought.

This is the first time I have faced such a strong opponent, and it is still in such a large and important competition.The more this is the case, the more I need to calm down, and I need to think about how to play.

As long as you see the relaxed smile on the Brazilian's face, you know that they didn't take this game as a big deal. A proud soldier must lose. Zhao Yaning felt that this principle also made sense for the Brazilian.The Brazilians are not serious enough to do things. It is something that the football world knows, and against an opponent like the Chinese team, it is impossible for them to stand up for it. Maybe they will be succeeded by themselves?

But facing such an opponent, if you want to succeed in a sneak attack, you must score a goal at the beginning.Otherwise, when they play well, it is possible to achieve any kind of results.But if they are caught off guard before they enter the state, the result will not be certain.

And the situation after the start of the game is indeed moving in the direction that Zhao Yaning imagined.

Less than 3 minutes into the game, when Zhao Junzhe sent the ball to forward Hao Dapao, Hao Dapao turned his back and passed it to Zhao Yaning.Zhao Yaning hardly hesitated, accelerated directly, and rushed into the penalty area.

Zhao Yaning was able to rush into the penalty area at the beginning, which did arouse applause.

It's just that this breakthrough was a bit thunderous and rainy.Kafu quickly stuck over, and stuck to Zhao Yaning tightly, forcing Zhao Yaning’s speed to slow down.On the front, Edmilson immediately covered up and directly grabbed the ball at Zhao Yaning's feet.

"Little guy, we meet again. But it seems that you haven't made much progress." Edmilson smiled complacently, Zhao Yaning glared at him, and ran away without saying anything.

He is not used to using words as a sharp weapon in retaliation.And Edmilson's contemptuous attitude is exactly what Zhao Yaning needs most.

He just wants to let his opponent relax so that he can take advantage of it.

And the opportunity to fight back came in less than a minute.

Hao Dapao got the ball in the penalty area, and was squeezed by Lucio to have no chance of shooting.But he turned his back and knocked the ball back.Zhao Yaning immediately ran to his position and raised his right foot high.

20 meters from the goal, the position is perfect, and I feel good...

shoot! [

The football was kicked by him with a fierce volley.As Qiu Fei got up, Zhao Yaning felt a feeling of exhalation in his heart: the pressure of playing against Brazil was too great, Zhao Yaning always felt that if he didn’t give such a hard kick, he would be uncomfortable.

Whether to score or not is the second priority. If this kind of ball still needs no strength to shoot, he will be suffocated.

The ball was obviously high, and this excellent shot did not change the score.However, Zhao Yaning felt that this sleep was necessary. After this kick, his mood improved a lot, and that little cowardice had long since been thrown out of the blue.

Soon, he got another chance on the left wing.

When Ma Mingyu in front of the penalty area failed to break through and chose to pass the ball, Zhao Yaning, who rushed in quickly, became his first choice.

And Zhao Yaning also faced the ball, and kicked the ball towards the goal with one kick.

The ball flew to the upper left corner of the goal.Marcos jumped up vigorously, but the angle of the ball was still too tricky. The football almost brushed his fingertips, rushed into the net, and lifted the net high.

+1-0

Shocking cheers erupted all around.Zhao Yaning couldn’t tell whether the cheers were aimed at him, or just because the spectators didn’t want the game to lose suspense too early, and hoped to see the Chinese team arouse the fighting spirit of the Brazilians and make them serious .But no matter what, in this game, Zhao Yaning's goal was already an early harvest.

He clenched his fist and raised his hand to the crowd around him.This made the crowd cheer even louder, and made the Brazilian standing in front of him even more embarrassed.

"Didn't you say you watched him?"

Junior glanced at Edmilson angrily.Edmilson looked a little embarrassed. He himself said that he wanted to guard against Zhao Yaning, but he said this because he remembered that Zhao Yaning made him look ugly last time.Thinking about it now, he doesn't know enough about Zhao Yaning. Apart from knowing that this kid has a pair of scud, he knows almost nothing.He doesn't care about the Ligue [-] games. Although he has heard about Zhao Yaning's performance this year, the source of his confidence is more of his recognition of his own strength.Zhao Yaning's shot came a little suddenly, and it also made him pay the price for his underestimation of the enemy.

"But it's good." Cafu laughed from the side, "In this way, we can enter the state a little faster."

When the game started again, Zhao Yaning found that the Brazilian started to get serious.

In the 6th minute, after Carlos passed a long pass to Ronaldo, although he was closely guarded by three defenders, Ronaldo broke through the siege and passed the ball to Ronaldinho.It's just that Li Datou arrived in time and broke the ball out of the bottom line, so that the Chinese team would not fall behind after only a few minutes ahead.

And what followed was Juninho's cross from the right, which was received by the Chinese goalkeeper.

When the dangerous situation arises, Zhao Yaning also knows his room to play. This kind of situation of being surrounded by opponents and then counterattacking himself, isn't it just playing football for a long time on the island of Corsica?

This situation is exactly what I want.

When Zhao Junzhe gave the ball to his feet, almost no one hesitated, and passed the ball to Hao Dapao in front of him with a long pass.

But it's a pity that Hao Dapao didn't stop the ball steadily, and this opportunity on the penalty area line was wasted.

But the opportunity soon came again.

In the 12th minute, Li Gang passed the ball to his feet, and he started the long-distance attack he is most used to along the right without hesitation. [

Such a speed... Cafu was a little surprised when he watched from the other side road.How on earth did he run so fast?

Fortunately, in terms of speed, the Brazilian team never falls behind.

Carlos tackled with one foot, causing Zhao Yaning to fly up immediately.After the referee ran over, he immediately took out the yellow card.

"Robby, be careful." Gilberto reminded from the side.

"Don't worry, I know how to measure." Carlos just smiled, "This kid is a bit too crazy. If you don't give him two heavy kicks, you can't control him. You can't let him kick smoothly."

Gilberto nodded and walked away without saying anything.He believed in Carlos' game experience, when to foul and when to be cautious, Carlos knew it in his own mind.

And sure enough, as Carlos expected, when Zhao Yaning rubbed his calf and stood up, he immediately left Carlos' coverage.

That's enough.Carlos looked at him and laughed.Young people are inexperienced when they compete, and they don't know when to be hard and when to be soft.Therefore, there will be undeserved fouls and inexplicable disappearances.Carlos is not familiar with Zhao Yaning’s playing style, and he is not a full-back who is good at defense. From a few moves, he can analyze all of Zhao Yaning’s playing styles, which is not something he is good at. Zhao Yaning is not what he wants to do.However, he can see Zhao Yaning's age, so he can judge the opponent's lack of experience in the game, and set various traps for him, which is enough.

But it's still a pity.Carlos shook his head.Zhao Yaning's choice is to be soft and not to confront Carlos head-on. This way, although the threat will be reduced, there is still a threat.If only he was willing to be tougher and confront Carlos head-on. Carlos was sure to create a small trap, and let this little guy who was less than 20 years old take a beautiful red card and go to the sidelines to watch the game early.

It's a pity, why isn't this guy short-tempered?

Soon, the game took a turning point. At No. 15 minutes, 25 meters away from the goal, Li Datou knocked down Ronaldinho, which also allowed Brazil to get a free kick.

"Who's coming?" Rivaldo looked at the free kick and turned to look at Ronaldinho.

It stands to reason that it should be Ronaldinho, after all, he made the free kick, and his free throw level is also very good.Since there is no free-kick guru like Juninho Jr. who convinces everyone on the court, it should be whoever makes it and whoever makes it.

However, Rivaldo is the core of the Brazilian national team's frontcourt this time, and it makes sense for him to take the penalty.What's more, Rivaldo is also the veteran of the national team, and his status is far higher than Ronaldinho.

Ronaldinho glanced at the location of the free kick, a little undecided.

"Forget it, get out of the way, I'll do it." Carlos saw the filth of the two of them, and immediately walked up, "Your soft free kicks are meaningless at all, let me do it, let you Learn what power is."

So much the better.His gags made Rivaldo and Ronaldinho all retreat, standing on the left and right sides, covering him.

At this time, Zhao Yaning became a member of the human wall.Looking at the three people in front of him, he felt like he couldn't cry.

The talents of the Brazilian team have reached this point. Ronaldinho, Rivaldo, and Carlos stand in front of the free kick at the same time, which is really bullying.

Carlos retreated a distance, accelerated suddenly, and ran. When his foot kicked the ball, Zhao Yaning swore that he definitely heard the sound of the ball being squeezed and deformed!

How much power do you need to shoot such a ball?

The belt slid past the ears with a whistling sound. Although the goalkeeper had already made a saving action, there was no possibility of saving the ball at all.It's okay to have a tricky angle, but such a fast speed is definitely the only one Zhao Yaning has seen in his life.

The ball used in the 2002 World Cup was called the Flying Fire Meteor, and when the ball hit the net, Zhao Yaning really understood the origin of the second meteor.

He wasn't even interested in caring, the result of the game had been rewritten to a 1-1 draw.

This goal is far more memorable than the game itself.

But soon, he understood what it would be like to let the Brazilian team play smoothly.

No. In the 20th minute, Cafu countered and shot. After being saved, Ronaldo's supplementary shot was destroyed.

No.20 In the second minute, Ronaldinho passed the ball to Carlos, Carlos made a cross from the side, and Ronaldinho fouled for the top.

No. In 203 minutes, Carlos left a long shot and was saved from the bottom line, and Rivaldo's corner kick was saved again.

In a few minutes, the Brazilian team attacked continuously around the goal, and the Chinese team was in danger.

This is the true strength comparison of the two teams.

Zhao Yaning watched helplessly at such a game. During this period of time, he could hardly touch the ball, and in such a situation, even if he got the ball, he could not change the situation on the court.

In No. 205 minutes, the game took another turn.

Du Wei pulled Ronaldinho in front of the penalty area. Just when everyone thought it was a free kick, the Swedish referee Frisk took out a yellow card and pointed to Ronaldinho.

Diving.

"I didn't flop, I didn't..." Ronaldinho explained angrily. At that moment, he really didn't think about struggling to resist the pull, but the opponent's foul action was also obvious, how could it be considered a flop?Such a penalty is too much!

But the referee was unmoved and still insisted that it was a flop.

"Mr. Referee, he is not a flop."

Amidst the clamor of teammates, a French voice silenced everyone.Zhao Yaning stood there and explained to the referee, "He didn't flop, you may have misread it..."

"Please don't question my law enforcement." The referee warned. Although the words were directed at Zhao Yaning, his eyes scanned all the Brazilians before turning and leaving.

Zhao Yaning shrugged, made a helpless gesture to Ronaldinho, and left.The reason why he did this was because he really felt that the ball was not a flop, and secondly, it was because the Brazilians were too imposing. If they blindly besieged, it would be a matter of time before the Chinese team lost their goal, and some changes had to be made. people's momentum.Zhao Yaning pretended not to be captain material, but he had seen how other captains did it.At this time, exchanging a sentence or two may have unexpected benefits.

Sure enough, Ronaldinho gave him a grateful look before turning around and leaving.

And then, No. 207 minutes, Cafu made a diagonal pass from the right, and when Ronaldo unloaded the ball under the double-team of two players, it was another handball.Although the referee didn't draw the cards this time, the continuous blows to stop the game weakened the Brazilian's momentum a lot.

This is an opportunity, Zhao Yaning soon had this awareness.

The ball came out quickly, Zhao Yaning took the ball on the right side of the penalty area, looked at Carlos in front, took the ball to the middle, and ran towards the middle.This way of playing made Carlos stunned: As an offensive full-back, his main defensive methods are blocking, chasing, and tackling. One-on-one defense is not his strong point, but Zhao Yaning does not choose Breaking through one-on-one with him, but going to the middle, is it really frightened?

Or, does this guy want to completely disrupt Brazil's midfield defense system by relying on this irregular way of running?

His thoughts soon had an answer. Zhao Yaning faced Gilberto, and with a simple acceleration change, he was thrown away. Before Lucio, who was defending, came, he took a step towards the left and ran directly to the left.

Gilberto and Lucio followed, and Erdemisen followed.The entire Brazilian team's defense was messed up by his running positions, and there were empty spaces next to each other.

There are loopholes, it's not safe, it should be at this time... Carlos was relieved to see Cafu's tackle, and Zhao Yaning's ball was cleanly shoveled away.

A foul should be committed at this time, Carlos thought.Not only would it be a joke if he were left to mess up Brazil's defense all by himself, but also...

He froze suddenly.

He suddenly discovered that the Chinese team's attacking players in the frontcourt did not make any effective moves to match Zhao Yaning's wild moves this time.On the contrary, because of Zhao Yaning's large oblique running position, their room for movement has been compressed a lot, and there is even a problem of chaotic running positions.

This is not a premeditated tactic, but a personal whim movement behavior?Only then did Carlos become a little interested.This kind of running position is very remarkable, both in terms of conception and his courage.

If you consider the actual effect, it will be even more remarkable.It's just a pity that his teammates didn't understand his running intentions. If he had a smarter teammate, it would be troublesome.But looking at it now, they don't have many smart people, so it's much easier to deal with only one point.

No need for Edmilson, this guy, let me play with him.

Zhao Yaning took a free kick. This time he did not hit the goal directly, but twisted the ball into a big arc and hit the back of the goal.Li Da hit the ball with his head, but he didn't have the strength to hit it, and Marcos directly confiscated it.

The Pakistani team immediately launched a counterattack.After Edmilson kicked an anti-aircraft shot, Cafu's cross from the right was cleared by Du Wei's header, but the ball fell to Ronaldinho's feet. At the meter, Rivaldo easily rewritten the score to 2-1

At this time, Zhao Yaning was also in trouble. He felt that Carlos began to mark him in a targeted manner, which made it difficult for him to play.

Every time he gets the ball, Carlos will immediately stick it over, not only squeezing Zhao Yaning hard with his body, but also making some foul moves, making it extremely difficult for Zhao Yaning to play.Every time he landed, he happened to step on the breakthrough track of this year.And if Zhao Yaning tries to take the ball at a distance from him, he will tackle it decisively, making it impossible for Zhao Yaning to break through smoothly.

Unmatched in speed and strength, this is the first time Zhao Yaning has encountered such an opponent.

And Carlos is also a little startled: As an offensive full-back, his defensive ability is not outstanding, except for tackle skills, his defensive skills are not top-notch.Now he can still rely on his own experience, awareness and the foul treatment that some big-name stars deserve to gain an advantage. When we meet again in the future, this kid has enough experience and a strong body. How can he defend against him?When did Asia have such freaks?

Fortunately, at least in this cup match, he can't break through me.

After Zhao Yaning misfired, the Chinese team lost an important frontcourt attack point, and the Brazilian team once again brought the game into their grasp.Juninho made a cross, Ronaldo arched the goal with a free kick, and Juninho made another pass. For a while, the Chinese team's goal was jittery.

In the No.404 minute, after Li Datou pulled down Ronaldo in the penalty area, a penalty kick completely pushed the Chinese team into the abyss.

3-1, before the end of the first half, the Chinese team had nothing to fight back.
