World Cup of Great Powers

The Chinese team scored a goal!

The Chinese team equalized the score!
As thousands of fans in the stands began to cheer.

The impression of the Chinese team in the hearts of the world has gradually changed.

In this level of competition, it is normal for the French team to score goals, and it is normal for the Chinese team to lag behind.

Even when the French team leads by a large score, it is normal for the Chinese team to score a goal.

But not long after the French team scored, the Chinese team immediately recovered a goal and tied the score.

This is not normal!

Everyone knows that.

Being able to reach the final does not mean that the two teams participating in the final are equal in strength.

It is very likely that a team has worked hard, sacrificed countless red and yellow cards, and paid countless players for injuries.

The other team, on the other hand, made it to the finals without even breaking a sweat.

In this way, when the two teams meet in the final, it is clear at a glance which is better.

So for a lot of teams.

The championship is actually not that important.

To be able to reach the finals is already gratifying.

In today's final, the Chinese and French teams obviously fit the above description in people's perception.

The world champion is majestic, and will go all the way to the final;
The Chinese team fought bravely and made the last effort to get here.

Then the two sides played a game of "giving everyone an explanation" in front of the world.

Then the Chinese team ended in tears, and the French team won the championship trophy.

This ending is in line with the script in the hearts of fans.

But actually?
The two teams have already met once in the group stage.

As a result, the game ended in a 3-3 tie.

Both sides have the ability to break through the other's defenses, and neither can do anything to win the other.

Now, the Chinese and French teams meet again in the final.

Fans naturally think that the world champion will not take it lightly when facing his former opponent.

Maybe after 45 minutes of the first half, the game has been declared over.

But the game played for an hour, and the situation on the court was far beyond people's expectations.

Looking at the score of 1 to 1.

People can't help but start thinking.

Is the world champion French team too weak?

Or is the Asian champion Chinese team too strong?

In the stands, the South Korean fans who hadn't sang to their heart's content all gritted their teeth and looked at the stadium with grim faces.

They can't wait for Wiltord to break through the gate guarded by Ou Chuliang when he kicks off the ball.

It's a pity that the reality will not go as they wish.

After the re-kick-off, the French team was obviously a lot more cautious.

They are a little unclear about the Chinese team's routine.

And they didn't react much to the conceded goal just now.

Why did everyone short-circuit their brains at that moment and didn't jump up?
When thinking about this question, all the players involved in the defense in the small penalty area couldn't help but ask themselves a question.

If I really jumped at that time, would it change the result?

the answer is negative.

Shao Jiayi's ball landed on Yang Chen's head almost accurately.

Yang Chen, who was stuck by Desailly, barely jumped up.

With a tilt of his head, he pushed the ball into the net.

But in front of Yang Chen, there were actually no defenders.

In other words, even if the ball jumped, it would be in vain.

Then why dance?
But everyone didn't dance, and it became weird.

Even some thoughtful people are still guessing whether the French players have received the news from the spinach company in advance that they are going to miss such a goal for the Chinese team.

Could it be that the handicap is 2 to 1?

These gamblers can't help but imagine.

After the French players fell in the midfield for two or three minutes in a row.

Seeing that the players were not in the mood and had no chance to get through the offensive channel, Le Maire decisively chose to make a substitution.

In the 64th minute of the game, the French team took the lead in making substitutions.

Djorkaeff, who played for Kaiserslautern, was replaced by Sagnol, who played for Bayern.

Sagnol played right back at Bayern, but he is also good at playing right midfielder.

The purpose of replacing such a player who is both offensive and defensive and plays for the Bundesliga South King is to reinforce the team's offense and at the same time have a player who is familiar with the Bundesliga to watch over Yang Chen.

After the new players came on the field, they immediately gave the French midfielder a shot in the arm.

The French team began to settle down and resume their offense.

No matter how fast the Chinese team progresses.

Let's win this game firmly first!

In the 66th minute, Anelka's oblique breakthrough forced Sun Jihai into the restricted area.

Facing Ou Chuliang at the near post, Anelka made a burst shot, and the ball was blocked by Ou Chuliang from the crossbar in front of him.

After 1 minute, the French team's offensive resumed.

This time, it was still Vieira who rushed to the frontcourt as a supporting fulcrum.

After distributing the ball the other way, Marley strode the ball into the penalty area before falling to the ground.

For a moment, players from both sides raised their hands and surrounded the referee.

After the referee's judgment, the corner kick was not awarded in the end, and the Chinese team escaped.

In the 71st minute, the Chinese team's offensive quality was not high.

Wu Chengying passed the ball directly to Vieira's feet with a long pass.

The latter chested the ball from the back to Pires, who took a step forward with the ball and sent a clever through ball.

With his back to the center line, Marley stops the ball.

Seeing the opponent stop the ball, General Fan and Zhang Yanhua, who wanted to make up, also stopped immediately behind the center line.

At the same time, Marley raised his eyes to observe the other side, and then quickly sent a long diagonal ball straight through.

Seeing this, Zhang Yanhua, who had just stopped suddenly, turned around quickly and chased after the ball in the air in a panic.

At the same time, Wiltord advanced at high speed and rushed across the midfield from the other side of the pitch.

Zheng Zhi, who was following behind him, was still five or six meters away from him!

This is not a distance that can be caught up at all!

"Oh oh!"

"France have another chance."

"Look at Wiltord."

In front of the penalty area, Wiltord hit the ball that bounced off the ground with his knee.

When he touched the ball for the second time, he had already rushed into the Chinese team's penalty area.

Seeing Wiltord's kick, Zhang Yanhua, who jumped to his side, didn't hesitate, and directly shot his body out.

But still a step too late.

Wiltord's left foot has already slammed into the surface of the ball.

After the ball was kicked out, he was shoveled to the ground by Zhang Yanhua.

Whoosh!
The ball slipped through Ou Chuliang's armpit and went straight into the net.

The quality of the French team's two shots is extremely high.

Although Ou Chuliang reacted, he couldn't do anything to save him.

"Wow!!!"

Huang Jianxiang's voice dropped to his throat.

This ball is too scary!

Is this the shot kicked by the world champion team?

It's impossible to guard against!
"France scored again."

"It was Wiltord who scored the goal."

"1-2."

"The Chinese team is temporarily behind by one goal."

"We can see that this ball is actually a positioning error by the two central defenders of the Chinese team at the end."

"At the moment before Marley passed the ball, General Fan and Zhang Yanhua stood too close."

"Causes a gap on the other side of the pitch."

"The French team used this gap to pass a through pass, and then formed a single."

"In the end, Zhang Yanhua's shovel didn't save him."

"Wiltord played a very high-quality shot."

"Ou Chuliang is beyond hope"

Seeing the Chinese team conceding the ball again, the South Korean fans in the stands immediately shouted.

Le Maire is celebrating excitedly on the sidelines.

Suddenly, a shout came from the stands behind him.

Looking back, a large group of South Korean fans stood up, waved their arms at them, and yelled frantically.

"Yo, yo, French team, come on, Smecta!"

"The French team is great, Smecta!"

"Down with the Chinese team Smecta!"

The overwhelming good words made Le Maire a little unhappy.

"What's going on with these Chinese fans?"

Our French team came all the way to play in Asia.

You more or less have to abide by some court rules, right?

Didn't we just score a goal?

Is there any need to provoke us with this ferocious expression?
What's so great about the Chinese team.

Isn't it the Asian champion?
Threat?

snort!
I'm never afraid of threats?
After yelling at Le Maire for a while, the South Korean fans started singing loudly again.

From the perspective of the French team, it is the turn of the "second batch" of Chinese fans to start working.

"Oh?"

"The Chinese team has changed!"

The fourth official held up a sign on the sidelines before kick-off.

Taking advantage of the celebration time of the French players, Zeng Zheng also played the first substitution card.

"Uh?"

"Replace Zhang Xiaorui with Zhang Ran?"

Seeing Zeng Zheng's replacement arrangement, Huang Jianxiang and Zhang Hehe looked at each other, a little puzzled.

"Zhang Xiaorui wasn't injured either!"

Huang Jianxiang muttered.

Look at Zhang Xiaorui's running posture.

Apart from some shortness of breath, I really don't see any skin trauma.

It's not an injury, but it's not in good condition?
The performance in the first half was also very good!

Then why change him?

Not only Huang Jianxiang and Zhang Hehe, but also the fans, the scouts in the stands, and even the coaching staff of the French team didn't understand Zeng Zheng's substitution arrangement.

Obviously, Zhang Xiaorui is the core of the team's offense.

Most of the offensive ball will come to Zhang Xiaorui's feet, let him control the ball, and then launch the attack.

As for Zhang Ran, he is just a well-regulated defensive midfielder.

Although he also has a certain offensive organization ability, in most cases, his steady style of play is more defensive, and he mainly passes and receives the ball.

Now that the Chinese team is behind in the score, it is the time to open up the channel and create a goal.

At this juncture, the organizational midfielder was replaced with a defensive midfielder.

What is Zeng Zheng going to do?
After the Chinese team changed, the camera also showed Zeng Zheng a close-up.

Because of the cover of the sunglasses, no one could see what he was thinking from his expression.

Even Le Maire couldn't help but sigh.

After returning to China this time, do you want to buy a pair of sunglasses to wear?

Although Chi Shangbin, Jin Zhiyang, Shen Xiangfu and others had this coaching certificate around their necks.

But on the sidelines, he looks more like a handyman.

From their expressions and bodies, there is no information about the substitution of the Chinese team at all.

In desperation, Le Maire deserves to wait and see.

Let's see what changes will happen to the Chinese team after this substitution.

Just as the "Knowing Ball Emperor" expected.

After Zhang Xiaorui left the field, the Chinese team's offense began to be greatly reduced.

First of all, Zhang Ran's position is a little bit behind, which is not where Zhang Xiaorui often moves.

Secondly, more offensive balls were delivered to Shao Jiayi's feet.

This young player is obviously not as experienced as Zhang Xiaorui in handling the ball.

Either pass back, or force the body to protect the ball until the ball is lost.

After failing to pass the ball several times in a row, the fans couldn't help muttering again.

"Coach Zeng didn't understand this trick!"

"I guess it should be a combination move, and there are follow-ups."

"Looking at it this way, Shao Jiayi might be replaced later!"

Amid the mutterings of the fans, sure enough, Zeng Zheng played a second substitution card.

However, when Li Jinyu was replaced instead of Shao Jiayi this time, the fans did not understand again.

"Didn't Dayu play shadow striker today?"

"Why did the coach replace him?"

"Is it going to change tactics?"

Since the Chinese team announced the starting lineup, Li Jinyu's playing position has been the focus of discussion among fans.

In the eyes of everyone, Li Jinyu is Zeng Zheng's "surprise soldier" today, specially used to deal with the French team.

Replace it before the game is over.

The fans really don't understand this kind of operation.

"Da Yu, how are you? How do you feel?"

It's different from Zhang Xiaorui.

When Li Jinyu left the field, his legs were almost completely limp, and his forehead was covered with sweat.

Faced with Zeng Zheng's ridicule, Li Jinyu didn't even have the strength to respond.

He rolled his eyes at Zeng Zheng.

He tilted his body and fell sideways on the bench.

He looked exhausted.

Zeng Zheng nodded to Li Jinyu's physical condition.

The physical fitness of Jianlibao and the players he came out of is not too bad.

What's more, Li Jinyu has played in Serie A for so long, and his physical reserve has at least reached the level of Serie A.

"Da Yu is not physically fit, why is he so tired?"

"I remember that the child was in good physical condition before. Did he do something bad last night?"

"No way! This is the Confederations Cup final, how dare he desert?"

Ignoring the whispers of several assistant coaches, Li Jinyu copied the mineral water handed over by Han Tao, and gulped down.

"Da Yu, how are you doing?"

Seeing that Li Jinyu was almost drunk, Han Tao leaned over and asked.

"Tsk tsk tsk, let's see, we are amazing!" Li Jinyu wiped his mouth, "Now only a strong team like the French team can make Boss Zeng use such a bad move!"

Ever since he played all the Asian invincibles, Zeng Zheng has indeed rarely used the routine of burning all the physical energy of a certain player to target a certain line of defense of the opponent.

Li Jinyu's role today is to use his dexterous movement as much as possible to consume the physical energy of the opponent's defenders and interfere with their concentration.

Now Li Jinyu's physical fitness is exhausted, but the defense of the French team is still standing still.

Judging from the score, Li Jinyu's "self-sacrifice" does not seem to have any big effect.

Whether it's Desailly or the veteran Lizarazu, whether it's the defensive position or the judgment of the timing of the kicks, they are still at a normal level.

"Da Yu, do you think Boss Zeng's plan has failed?"

Hearing Han Tao's question, Li Jinyu immediately rolled his eyes.

"Taozi, thanks to you, you have spent the longest time with Mr. Zeng!"

"When did his tactics fail?"
