World Cup of Great Powers

After scoring a goal, Ma Mingyu stretched out his hands, pointed to the sky, and made a signature gesture of celebration.

The fans also greeted him with warm cheers and gave him thumbs up one after another!

"This is Ma Mingyu's fourth goal in this Asian Cup."

"Also the first goal of the game."

"This light push shot fooled all the Saudi defenders."

"The Saudi players were petrified at the time."

Looking at the Chinese players who kept celebrating on the sidelines, the eyes of the Saudis burst into flames.

Obviously in the second half it was his own attack!

Obviously, in the second half, he scored brilliantly.

Why is it the Chinese who score the goal?

They lost to the Chinese team in the world preliminaries, and they were convinced.

Losing to the Chinese team in the Asian Cup, they are not convinced at all!
Speaking of the situation on the court, they still had an advantage in the second half;

In terms of threats and offenses, they are not inferior to the Chinese team!

In their view, conceding the ball this time is not a crime of war!

It was a mistake, a coincidence!
Just like the own goal before!
Our goalkeeper didn't even make a save, so how can the Chinese team "beat" the goal?

It's entirely because we let them in, okay?
Encouraged by al-Zorhan, the Saudis soon regained their confidence.

They're not like kiddie players.

In terms of body and strength, Saudi Arabia is not afraid of the Chinese team!

After the game restarted, the Saudis really embarked on a strength confrontation.

It is no longer easy to find an opportunity to meet the bottom like Zheng Zhigang did.

After the re-kick-off, Salhu took the ball forward after receiving the ball from his teammate.

Facing Li Tie's defense, the young and vigorous Saarhu actually clung to Li Tie's shoulder, and gave Li Tie a concealed elbow.

Fortunately, this kid Li Tie is not the stunned young man he was back then, and he quickly stepped up his resistance after being secretly teased.

His shoulders sank, and he had a head-on confrontation with the opponent.

Salhu is certainly not Li Tie's opponent.

After being hit and losing his center of gravity, he could only distribute the ball to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar who was inserted from the wing.

Abdul-Jabbar dribbles the ball along the wing.

Before Shu Chang came up to defend, he lobbed the ball into the penalty area.

It is still to choose the back point with weak defense.

Fortunately, this time Li Weifeng was well prepared and pushed the ball out of the baseline early.

"Notice!"

"The Saudis are not giving up!"

"Concentrate on defense!"

"These guys are going to go all out!"

The teammates yelled at each other, reminding the players in their respective positions who slipped because of the lead.

When it comes to the true strength of the national teams of China and Saudi Arabia, Zeng Zheng believes that he is no worse than his opponents.

Although several players who played for the European League have not been called back, the team still has the main players of European clubs like Yang Chen and Li Tie.

On this point, Arzohan on the opposite side also thought so.

Saudi Arabia is located in West Asia, and many players in the team also play for low-level European clubs.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who just broke through with the ball and sent a cross, is also a member of the League One Wolves.

Speaking of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, he can be regarded as a legendary striker in Saudi Arabia.

At the age of 15, he was already the target of many top clubs in Saudi Arabia.

In the second season of joining Al Hilal, he became the top scorer of the club's youth championship team and was called up to the national team in 90.

In the 94 world preliminaries, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar made his debut.

He scored a hat-trick in the key game against Iran, helping the team beat their opponents 4-3 and advance to the World Cup finals.

In the World Cup, he used a penalty kick to help the team open the situation in the match against Morocco, and finally applauded the opponent 2-1.

Together with teammates such as the famous striker Said Owellan, they sent Saudi Arabia to the second round of the 94 World Cup, creating the history of the Saudi team.

Jabbar is now 28 years old.

In the middle of the year, the enterprising Saudi striker was loaned to League One Wolves, becoming the first Saudi player to play in England.

After several months of playing in League One, Abdul-Jabbar has learned how to play brutal football with a strong body.

Al Zohan's plan is also very simple, which is to use Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's personal impact ability to tear through the Chinese team's defense line to create shooting opportunities.

Indeed, Arzoghan's plan succeeded.

Shu Chang, who lacks combat experience in a savage environment, is always a bit slow when facing Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's assault.

Either he was pushed back again and again by the opponent's small moves, or he couldn't take the lead in the frontal confrontation.

"These Saudis are desperate!"

Seeing that Shu Chang lost his position repeatedly, Zeng Zheng hurriedly arranged for Li Tie to go to the defense.

At the same time, Yang Pu, Xu Yunlong and others were also warming up on the sidelines.

In the 53rd minute, Shu Chang drew a foul while defending in front of the penalty area and gave the opponent a free kick.

Zeng Zheng stomped his feet angrily after seeing it.

What pull foul?
It was obviously that B flopped!
Can stand upright in League One, but fall when touched by Shu Chang?

What about kidding?
The referee blew the whistle, and the two Saudi players in the penalty area started running at the same time!

This time it was Kareem Abdul-Jabbar who hit the ball first.

The arc drawn by the ball in the air was wider than any previous cross, and even flew out of the area of ​​​​the post-point shot.

But here, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar took off with a header.

Ou Chuliang made a sideways block, just in time to block the ball on the goal line.

Li Weifeng, who was chasing in place, hurried over and cleared the ball out of the penalty area.

"Come on, Chinese team!" Lao Rong's family shouted from the stands.

Although leading the score, Saudi Arabia's offensive continued unabated.

Looking at this situation, it seems that sooner or later the opponent will break the goal.

"It can't be helped, their rhythm has already picked up." Zeng Zheng frowned on the sidelines.

"Our two wings and the defensive loopholes in the back of the set ball have never been filled."

"Always fill in this and leave out that."

"Care for one and lose the other."

"Let the players back down first, and stabilize the defense before we talk."

Under Zeng Zheng's repeated instructions, Shu Chang was replaced by Xu Yunlong.

"People behind listen up, step up your defense!"

"Stay back in the midfield!"

"Launch a zone defense, hold your position, and don't let them charge up from the wing easily."

"Be careful of their crosses, the people who order later must follow me, keep up!!!"

Hearing Zeng Zheng's yell, the defenders who were dizzy from the opponent's stormy attack finally calmed down.

Zhang Yanhua and Li Weifeng also opened their mouths and shouted loudly: "Everyone hold on."

"Bring these three axes over."

"Persevere and persevere."

"They're dying soon!"

The verbal encouragement obviously cannot temporarily make up for the shortcomings on the field.

After Xu Yunlong went up, like Shu Chang, he was devastated by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's brutal tactics.

Once you are soft, he will be hard; when you are hard, he will fall.

In Al Zohan's view, the Chinese team can use Zheng Zhi and Ma Mingyu's personal ability to score goals, and Saudi Arabia can also use Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's personal ability to open up the situation.

In the 58th minute, Xu Yunlong also made another mistake under the opponent's trick, pulled down Kareem Abdul-Jabbar at the edge of the penalty area, and was awarded a free kick in the frontcourt.

In such a passive situation, Zeng Zheng could only order the midfielders to deliberately slow down the tempo in order to kill the opponent's momentum first.

In the 62nd minute, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar clashed with Li Tie on the edge of the penalty area and fell down.

The referee hesitated and did not award a penalty kick.

It was this penalty that aroused Kareem's dissatisfaction.

"Referee, are you blind?"

"Can't see it's a foul?"

"Penalty kick, this ball should be awarded a penalty kick!"

Abdul-Jabbar chased the referee and yelled at him.

Through the slow-motion playback, the fans can clearly see that Kareem Abdul-Jabbar had already predicted Li Tie's supplementary defense the moment he got the ball.

At the same time, he deliberately leaned his body to this side.

When Li Tie rushed over, the two just met face to face, and Jabbar fell to the ground.

Although this ball is not a flop, it can be considered that Kareem Abdul-Jabbar had premeditated it.

But the problem is that the foul location of this ball is too mysterious!

Just on the Chinese team's big restricted area line.

The previous few goals were okay, even if Kareem Abdul-Jabbar fell to the ground, the referee gave a free kick and the Chinese team could not say anything.

But now, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is blatantly asking for penalties.

No matter how courageous the referee is, he dare not give a penalty lightly.

In this way, Abdul-Jabbar chased after the referee and yelled for a long time.

In the end, a penalty was missed and only a yellow card was received for disrupting the penalty.

Seeing this glittering golden card, Zeng Zheng on the sidelines of the court thought about it.

He vaguely remembered that in the Asian Cup group stage, this guy wearing the Saudi captain's armband was still doing nothing on the court even though he hadn't played a small life.

The only time he showed his presence on the court was when he argued with the referees about issues that were not controversial at all.

Now, coupled with his poorly performed diving, it is an insult to the IQ of the fans!
No wonder he can play in League One.

This just confirms the thinking of the English people-in the eyes of the British, a donkey can become the head coach of the England national team.

Then it's no surprise to choose a player with a bad temper and a tendency to play tricks to League One.

After making up his mind, Zeng Zheng immediately whispered to Li Tie and Zheng Zhi, and taught them a few authentic Arabic curses.

After explaining everything, Zeng Zheng frowned.

Everyone is for the championship.

Since you are not moral, don't blame me for using dirty tricks too!
After the game got back on track, the Chinese team finally caught an excellent counterattack opportunity.

In the 65th minute, the young Shao Jiayi found that Dia Yaya was standing forward more than 40 meters away from the goal, and decisively kicked the empty goal.

At this moment, Dia Yaya finally showed his "former best goalkeeper in Asia" reaching out. After taking three steps back with all his strength, he miraculously lifted the must-go ball over the crossbar.

After 1 minute, Xie Hui received a corner kick from his teammate and passed it in seconds and dived in the small penalty area with a header.

Dai Yayaya continued to show his magic, and once again saved the Saudi team's gate with a fall to the side.

The Chinese team almost scored twice in a row, which made Arzohan extremely anxious.

In the 67th minute, Saudi Arabia added a striker again, replacing the midfielder Shehri with Otaibi, trying to tie the score earlier.

Zeng Zheng also immediately played the second substitution card, replacing the scoring hero Ma Mingyu with the young teenager Zhao Junzhe.

The horse is getting older.

In this kind of confrontation with more body collisions, it is best to let a young guy like Zhao Junzhe win.

After leaving the field, Ma'er panted heavily, and after high-fiving his teammates and staff, he came to his seat to do his job.

"Brother Ma." Yang Pu stood in front of him respectfully holding the unscrewed mineral water.

Ma Mingyu took the water and thanked her.

Looking at the young faces around me, I can't help but think back to four years ago.

Xu Hong, General Fan, Li Ming, Wei Feng, Xie Feng, Gao Hongbo, Li Bing, Jiang Jin.
These old comrades-in-arms who can be named are now retired, retired, and retired.

In addition to the goalkeeper Ou Chuliang who is still on the field, even General Fan is said to have lost the Asian Cup due to "age reasons".

He looked at Zhao Junzhe, who was running with joy as soon as he entered the field, and looked at Qi Hong and Shensi, who were constantly moving their wrists and ankles.

These young midfielders have grown into pillars after this Asian Cup.

Ma Mingyu sighed.

The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves.

This Asian Cup may become the curtain call of the national team.

Just as the horse was sighing, a whistle suddenly sounded on the court.

Without saying a word, the referee of the United Arab Emirates ran up to Zheng Zhi and showed a golden card.

Although he received a yellow card, Zheng Zhi didn't even look at the referee.

Flicking the leg that was pressing on him to the side, he muttered loudly in Arabic that he had just learned from Zeng Zheng.

This time, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was completely angered.

Zheng Zhi's shovel just now was extremely fierce, and he even had the risk of breaking his leg.

But instead of apologizing, Zheng Zhi used his native dialect to give himself a national curse!
How could Kareem Abdul-Jabbar willingly swallow such humiliation?
Taking advantage of getting up, he swung his thigh backwards and deliberately swept Zheng Zhi.

Zheng Zhi's eyes flashed.

This is what he was waiting for.

At the moment the opponent swept his legs, he deliberately moved forward to meet the opponent's "scissors kick".

Just like that, the two who just wanted to get up got entangled with their opponent again, and both fell to the ground.

This scene happened right under the nose of the referee.

Zheng Zhi, who got up again, didn't stand up at all, and sat on the ground, spread his hands, and appealed to the referee.

At the same time, Li Tie on the side also hurriedly incited other players to express their dissatisfaction to the referee.

Seeing this situation, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who was tripped again, was furious.

Immediately stood up and appealed to the referee.

The UAE referee naturally understands Arabic and knows that it was Zheng Zhi who insulted people first.

Based on the principle that Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is the victim, it's over if you plan to warn and warn.

Unexpectedly, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar lost control after being provoked by the Chinese team!
He rushed to the referee again and again, defending himself loudly in Arabic, which of course also mixed with some unfriendly words.

After being forced back several steps in a row, the referee finally couldn't bear it, and once again took out a yellow card and flashed it above Kareem Abdul-Jabbar as a warning.

As soon as the second yellow card was shown, the scene instantly became silent.

The Chinese players who were still surrounding the referee to defend themselves quickly took two steps back and stopped speaking.

And Zheng Zhi, who was "kicked and hurt", no longer protested loudly, got up by himself without the support of his teammates, and patted the dust off his body.

In the blink of an eye, all the Chinese players stood aside coldly like bystanders.

The Saudi players who reacted rushed forward like a swarm, trying to persuade the referee to withdraw the penalty.

Until then, the UAE referee also reacted.

Not long ago, he had given Kareem Abdul-Jabbar a yellow card for the same "crime".

Now that the second yellow card has been issued, is there any reason to take it back?
Ever since, under the watchful eyes of 10 people, the referee quickly withdrew the yellow card and took out another red card, shining it on Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's head.

Seeing the red card, Zeng Zheng at the side of the court immediately shook his hands and high-fived the assistant coaches beside him one by one.

This scene happened to be captured by the camera on the sidelines.

Follow the satellite signal and send it to tens of millions of fans.

"Something happened!"

"The referee showed a second yellow card!"

"Two yellows turn into one red."

"Saudi Arabia striker and captain Kareem Abdul-Jabbar paid the price for his impulsiveness and irrationality."

The referee's swift operation made the matter a foregone conclusion.

Even if Kareem Abdul-Jabbar begged again, it would be of no avail.

Under the urging of the referee, the Saudi had no choice but to hang his head and left the field in despair.

So far, Saudi Arabia has given up the great situation on the field!

After the opponent played one player less, Zeng Zheng decisively replaced Xie Hui and replaced Yang Pu to increase the defense.

Under the full defense of the Chinese team, the game unknowingly entered stoppage time.

It seems that in order to make up for some kind of trade-off made by Saudi Arabia, the fourth official actually played the card of 5 minutes of stoppage time.

But even so, the defending champion Saudi Arabia still failed to save the defeat with one less player.

After 5 minutes passed, I could only watch helplessly as the team swallowed their hatred with one goal.

When the referee blew the whistle for the whole game, the Hongkou Stadium erupted instantly.

Fans jumped high and threw their debris into the sky.

Gongs, drums, cymbals, trumpets.

It can be said that the sky is full of gongs and drums, firecrackers are blasting, red flags are flying, and there are huge crowds of people.

Before Zeng Zheng could react, he was slapped down by Li Huajun behind him.

Together with all the players on the bench, they carried Zeng Zheng to the center of the court like a New Year's goods.

"Listen to me 1, 2, 3!!!"

"Hoo hoo hoo hoo!!!"

With the roar of the team members, Zeng Zheng was thrown high into the sky.

At the same time, Huang Jianxiang picked up the microphone and roared out the cry that echoed over the stadium for a long time.

"Champion, we are the Asian champions!!!"
