Chapter 353 Debut: Repressive Breakthrough
Thousands of Chinese fans at the scene burst into strong cheers, and the famous CCTV commentator Liu Jianhong's characteristic opening remarks came from the live broadcast booth.

"The game has begun! Fans, this is the first round of Group A of the Asian Cup. The match between the Chinese team and Kuwait. Let's take a look at the starting list of the Chinese team today. After a long closed training session, now we will finally see the strongest team. lineup of the Chinese team."

After Zhou Tiancheng got the ball, he raised a finger high towards the side. The Kuwaiti players noticed his gesture, and the two players approached him immediately, and slid tackles from two directions at the same time.

The opponents of the Chinese team all know that he is a dangerous man, so the Kuwaiti players are very aggressive.Zhou Tiancheng is well-known, and they also know that it is absolutely impossible to fight against him with his foot skills, so their plan is to use the simplest and rude tactics. Zhou Tiancheng has now come to their half. At this time, he needs to be disarmed first. just work.

Of course, it would be an even more pleasant surprise if Zhou Tiancheng could be brought into trouble.

The two players from Kuwait tried their best to slide and shovel from two directions. Zhou Tiancheng naturally noticed it, but he didn't think about how to avoid it at the first time. He kept his eyes on the front, and the opponent's left back had already left. If the defense zone is broken, then the team's right side should have room to make a fuss.

Zhou Tiancheng didn't hesitate to pass the ball to the right. Originally, he was a little hesitant. Hao Junmin and Chen Pengfei had almost equal opportunities on both sides. Now the opponent's rush to grab the ball helped him make a choice.

After Hao Junmin took the ball, he cut all the way inside. Even in the face of the central defender's defense, he was not afraid at all. At that time, he was at a position close to zero degrees, surrounded by three defensive players besieging him.

"Hao Junmin, can you still pass the ball? This ball he..."

Before Liu Jianhong finished speaking, Hao Junmin’s ball had already passed the goal quickly. The Kuwaiti goalkeeper was caught off guard, but because the angle was too small, he was disturbed when he shot. By a hair's breadth.

Hao Junmin also felt very sorry for missing this opportunity, but he still stretched out his hand and gave Zhou Tiancheng a thumbs up.Zhou Tiancheng applauded lightly in response to him.

Gao Hongbo was very satisfied to see this scene off the court.He has always emphasized that there must be communication with each other on the field. Everyone is bored with the first-class ball and can easily fall into a cycle of fighting on their own.From the effect point of view, the communication between the members of the "Study Abroad Gang" is smoother, and the local players still have the usual nervousness in the competition, and they still behave more or less restrained on the court.

Gao Hongbo felt a little fortunate in his heart, it seemed that it was a wise choice for Zhou Tiancheng and the others to take the lead on the court.In the current situation, continuous suppression can be exchanged for initiative.

So he kept waving his hands towards the field. After seeing his gesture, Zhou Tiancheng took the initiative to set an example, actively engaged in counter-grabbing, and snatched back the ball that had been intercepted by the opponent's defender.

He called the two midfielders Yang Hao and Zhao Xuri to his side, and said, "Come close to me, come up and grab, without the support of the two of you, we can't attack continuously."

The two nodded in unison.But the reaction is obviously a little slow.

Looking at their performance, Zhou Tiancheng suddenly understood, and said with a smile: "You two can't do it, are you still nervous?"

The two shook their heads subconsciously and mechanically.Looking at their expressions, Zhou Tiancheng inexplicably felt quite joyful, and couldn't help smiling. He wondered if Gao Hongbo's words before the game were too harsh.

Zhou Tiancheng thought about it, and now everything he said seemed unconvincing, maybe he had to show everyone, the opponent is really no big deal!

Today's opponent, Kuwait, is a very good opponent. Even though the Chinese team has not shown its full strength, it has firmly suppressed the opponent only by relying on the performance of a few overseas players on the offensive end.

"Zhou Tiancheng, here we come, a long-range shot! Oh, it's a little bit off...he still needs to find his feeling. His long-range shot can become a weapon for the Chinese team to score goals."

"Jiang Hao, single-handedly! Alas, it's a pity that he was blocked by the goalkeeper! It's not easy to grab this kick under the chasing and interception of the opponent's defender. The Chinese team has performed very well so far. Keep it up and go forward. The ball is just a matter of time."

At least in the first half hour of the game, Kuwait was completely overwhelmed by the Chinese team. The opponent's defense line was torn back and forth. In fact, the defense line has exposed a lot of loopholes. What the Chinese team lacks is a little bit of luck to shoot the ball into the goal .

Many fans in front of the TV complained, "Hey! I can score this goal!" "I have wasted a few opportunities. I seem to have seen this episode, and it is a familiar plot..."

But when these fans said this, they didn't even realize it. In fact, they couldn't get angry at all, and they always had a smile on their faces.

Those who can follow their heart and sit down to watch the live broadcast in an environment where public opinion is bad-mouthing are definitely the die-hard fans of the national football team left after the big wave washed the sand.

But they all know that today's national team is rare in five or ten years.

The ball possession rate is twice as high as that of the opponent. The number of shots in the first half hour is already 8:2. The ball is shot in the frontcourt and runs without the ball without stopping for a second.

They don't believe that the Chinese team is as bad as the media say, but they don't dare to think that the national team can be so suppressive.

These fans couldn't hold back their inner excitement, and posted a series of screenshots on the post bar, showing all the wonderful cooperation of the Chinese team: This is the national football team that you collectively look down upon. There are pictures and truth, good or bad. Review!
There was no reply on the post bar, and many fans quietly turned on their TVs.

And they were luckier than the fans who watched the live broadcast from the beginning, and they happened to see the most exciting wave of the Chinese team's offensive.

Zhou Tiancheng actively counterattacked in the frontcourt. After stealing the ball, he directly passed the ball diagonally. From the gap between the two central defenders in the front, he passed the ball to the back. Jiang Hao inserted in the penalty area and faced the front The blocking goalkeeper unselfishly pushed the ball to the right. The player inserted in that position was surprising. It was neither Zhou Tiancheng nor Hao Junmin who played the right midfielder. Zhang Linpeng, the right back who didn't have time to retreat.His outflanking speed was faster than Hao Junmin, and he sprinted at a high speed and then hit a shovel shot from the back, easily hitting the ball into the empty goal.

This goal can be regarded as the best reward for the Chinese team in the first half. Many fans breathed a sigh of relief and finally scored.

And Liu Jianhong said: "The goal scorer is actually the right back Zhang Linpeng! A right back can run to the penalty area to outflank the goal, which is enough to see how big the Chinese team's advantage is today!"

But this can only be regarded as the beginning of the show. Gao Hongbo just waved his hand and encouraged Zhang Linpeng, who scored his first goal for the national team, to say a few words.He is actually not very satisfied with the team's scoring efficiency.
