Chapter 711
With the whistle of the Australian referee, the match between Japan and China in the third round of Group A of the 2010 World Cup Asian Qualifiers in South Africa officially began.

Keisuke Honda passed the football to Shinji Okazaki next to him, and then ran forward slowly, while Shinji Okazaki who took the ball quickly put his body in front of Gao Lin who was grabbing up, preventing him from stealing the ball at the first moment of kick-off. In order to avoid mistakes, he passed the ball to Shunsuke Nakamura.

Gao Lin did not give up, but pushed away Shinji Okazaki who was standing in front of him, turned around and ran towards Shunsuke Nakamura who was holding the ball.

Shunsuke Nakamura, who was holding the ball, didn't dare to be careless. He flicked the ball to the right with the instep of his right foot. After keeping up with his body, he passed the ball to his partner Makoto Hasebe with his right foot.

But what he didn't expect was that Makoto Hasebe's move was not to clear the siege, but...a fake move.

Makoto Hasebe quickly retracted his right foot, and flicked the ball to the right with the outside of his instep, showing his calm side, and at the same time showing off his footwork to the Chinese players present.

Of course, Hasebe Makoto, who shows off his footwork, also has this capital.

Since the "Hundred Years of Reform" in the 90s of the last century, Japan has established the style that their national players must follow-learn from Brazil, who won four World Cup champions at the time, and follow the technical route of ground transmission and control.

This is also in line with the characteristics of the Japanese at the time. They were short, thin, and lacking in strength, but everything has two sides. They are better at being flexible at their feet, so it is right to stick to the technical route. They can make full use of their short stature and flexible feet.

Today, Japan has insisted on taking the technical route for almost 20 years. Their players generally have good skills at their feet and a strong sense of cooperation, especially the midfielders. The current No. [-] Shunsuke Nakamura on the field is the representative. In the Champions League group stage last season, there was a free kick from an absolute dead end to break through the goal guarded by Van der Sar.

Standing on the sidelines watching the game, Takeshi Okada folded his arms and looked at Makoto Hasebe who was improvising with a smile on his face. He was indeed the main midfielder of the Bundesliga giants Wolfsburg, and he was calm and calm in the face of the aggressive pressing of the Chinese team.

After Makoto Hasebe flashed past Gao Lin, he still had time to look up and observe the situation in the frontcourt. Shinji Okazaki hadn’t run in place yet, and Endo Yasuhito pulled the side, which was not suitable for passing the ball, so he pulled the ball back with his right foot.

In order to avoid losing the ball and continue to show off his skills, Makoto Hasebe dunked the ball with his right foot in the direction of his own goal, dodged Gao Lin's outstretched foot to grab the ball, and knocked the football forward with his left foot.

Fried meatballs!

"Beautiful! The players of the Great Japanese Empire are all great, and the players of China are being played around by Makoto Hasebe!!" The commentator of the Japanese TV station was so excited that his eyes almost went out.

After passing Gao Lin, Makoto Hasebe has three options: pass back to the central defender, cross to Shunsuke Nakamura, and move forward with a big foot.

However, at the moment of his hesitation, Hao Junmin, the main right winger who played for Schalke 04, was already close to Shunsuke Nakamura, that is to say, he could only pass to the central defender or make a big clearance.

Awwow
Hearing the cheers erupting from the stands, Makoto Hasebe changed his mind and used the change in rhythm to move the ball forward, forcing Gao Lin to speed up the interception on the spot.

Immediately, Makoto Hasebe kicked the ball back with the heel of his left foot, dodged the gap, then twisted his body back, and prepared to use the outer instep of his right foot to buckle the ball in the opposite direction of Gao Lin.

Thinking of Ai Luo's remarks before the game, the more dissatisfied I feel, isn't he the World Footballer?Football is a team sport, you are good alone, can you be better than a team?

"Danger!"

At this moment, Nakazawa Yuji's exclamation came from Hasebe Makoto's ear.

※※※

After the kick-off, Ai Luo followed the opening tactics discussed with Gao Lin, Hao Junmin and Zhao Xuri before the kick-off, and moved towards the Japanese team's half.

However, Ai Luo's confidence in the start of the game is not enough. The skills of the Japanese players are very good, especially the midfielder. There is a saying in the outside world: Japan's midfielders are world-class, the defenders are top-notch in Asia, and the forwards are terrible.

There is a reason for being able to spread such words.

Gao Lin's attack was relatively clumsy against Japanese players, and he was tricked by Shunsuke Nakamura and Makoto Hasebe one after another.

But Ai Luo soon discovered that Makoto Hasebe is a player who has a great desire for performance, especially after the cheers erupted from the stands, he actually showed off his foot skills when he was about to pass the ball.

So Ai Luo rushed towards Makoto Hasebe without hesitation. He had a premonition that he would snap the ball back.

really!

Makoto Hasebe, who was moving forward, stagnated suddenly with Gao Lin's acceleration. Isn't this the prelude to kicking the ball back?
The frequency of Ai Luo's feet gradually increased to the fastest. As long as Makoto Hasebe kicked the ball back, it was time for him to steal the ball and fight back!
Yuji Nakazawa stood in the position of the central defender, opening the angle for Makoto Hasebe to pass the ball, but what surprised him was that the latter had no intention of passing the ball at all, but showed off his footing skills. From the corner of his eyes, he just saw Ai Luo running up from the far end crazily.
As an experienced old captain, how can he not know the consequences?Instinctively exclaimed at Makoto Hasebe.

Immediately, Makoto Hasebe, who twisted his body back, also smelled a hint of danger. As the main midfielder of Wolfsburg, he naturally knew the danger of losing the ball in the position of holding the ball. The right foot, which was about to move the ball to the right, used the flexibility of the ankle, wrapped the football firmly with the right foot, and dunked it in front of him.

Makoto Hasebe might have succeeded if he faced an ordinary striker, but he faced Ai Luo!

Ailuo's speed is usually described as galloping and chasing the wind, which is enough to show how powerful his speed is.

When Yuji Nakazawa reminded Makoto Hasebe, the two were still two meters apart. When Makoto Hasebe realized the danger, Ai Luo's right foot was already less than half a meter away from him.

Takeshi Okada who was standing off the field suddenly realized that Makoto Hasebe was going to make a mistake!

The stands that erupted with loud cheers just now suddenly lowered because of Ai Luo who was getting closer and closer to Makoto Hasebe, as if the sound was suddenly turned down.

The expressions on their faces slowly froze, and after half a second, they turned into panic.

At the moment when Makoto Hasebe smashed the ball, Ai Luo stretched his right foot and long leg forward, and met the latter once!
Since Makoto Hasebe temporarily changed to smashing the ball in front of his body, his strength was naturally insufficient, and he was naturally incomparable with Ai Luo who came over at high speed.

The football was hooked abruptly!

"---Danger!!"

"---Chance!!"

At the same time, the Japanese commentator and Duan Xuan in the live studio blurted out at the same time, and their expressions were in obvious contrast.

Makoto Hasebe, as a defensive midfielder, should not take the ball in front of the central defender, because this is an extremely dangerous and sensitive position. As long as he is blocked, the chance of losing the ball will exceed [-]%!

Awwow
The Chinese fans who came to the scene seized the moment when the Japanese fans lost their voices and shouted fiercely.

※※※

After Ai Luo hooked the ball, he adjusted his feet slightly, and then moved the ball forward, directly facing the central defender combination of Yuji Nakazawa and King Tanaka.

Gao Lin and Hao Junmin also showed their impressive speed at this time. Although there is a big gap compared with Ai Luo, they still have a great advantage against Japanese players, especially when Ai Luo is dribbling forward, which makes Nakazawa Yuji and Tanaka Bamboo Hat King dare not neglect in the slightest. How can they put their minds on Gao Lin?
Nagatomo Yuto quickly recovered to defend the left flank to prevent Ai Luo from passing the ball to Hao Junmin who was advancing at high speed, while the right back Uchida Atsuto chased back in a panic, but how does his speed compare with Ai Luo?
The current situation is equivalent to three-on-three in the frontcourt!

In the blink of an eye, Ai Luo dribbled the ball 30 meters away from the Japanese team's goal.

Yuji Nakazawa knew that he could not retreat anymore, and there was King Tanaka's hat behind him to protect him. At this time, the referee for the foul would give at most a yellow card. It is very cost-effective to exchange a yellow card for a successful defense.

Ai Luo has rich experience, how can he not know the thoughts of Yuji Nakazawa who is no longer retreating?
In the process of waving the ball, his right shoulder suddenly sank, and Yuji Nakazawa instinctively stretched his right foot to trip Ai Luo.

At this time, the corner of Ai Luo's mouth rose slightly, and the moment his right foot touched the ball, he poked it with his toe, and the football flew between Yuji Nakazawa's legs.

Yuji Nakazawa, who had already stretched his right leg, had to make a second reaction, closing his legs together.

But it was too late, the football went through the crotch, and Aiello passed by at high speed from the left.

Uchida Atsuto, who recovered, wanted to reach out and pull Ai Luo, but he only caught a cloud of air!
Facing the Tanaka Bamboo Hat King who was defending, Ai Luo didn't even look at it, and directly sent the ball to the penalty area.

Everyone knows that the Japanese team is coming to an end...

Kawaguchi stood helplessly on the line of the small penalty area, without the slightest courage to attack.

It wasn't until the leader Yuji Nakazawa who turned around and chased after him roared loudly that he rushed out.

Just then Aiello swung his right foot fifteen yards from the goal and the football rolled against the turf towards the far end of the goal.

Kawaguchi, who was stagnant, instinctively jumped to the left, but the forward acceleration of the football on the water-sprinkled turf was faster than his body's downward pressure!

The football almost rolls into the net against the right goal post.
