Chapter 876 Counterattack from now on

Zhou Tianben originally wanted to take it back to help Zheng Zhi defend, but he didn't expect that Zheng Zhi had already taken care of it before he was in place.

Mingtao launched a quick counterattack by tossing the ball, and now it was the turn of the Chinese fans to get excited.

In the commentary seat, He Wei and Xu Yang patted the table excitedly, their emotions were the same as the situation on the field, with ups and downs and ups and downs.

"Counterattack! Good opportunity. The Brazilian team is attacking aggressively. This is an opportunity bought by Zheng Zhi with his rich experience! This should be regarded as Zheng Zhi's best defense in the World Cup so far. Lippi arranged him In the central defender position, it has indeed received a miraculous effect."

"The Chinese team was able to concede only one goal in the opening game, thanks to Zheng Zhi's role. At this age, I will go back to my old job of becoming famous... I am now beginning to believe what Ali Han said at the beginning-if I have been If he continues to play in the central defender position, Zheng Zhi may really become a world-class player, and he may also become the second Zhou Tiancheng."

This is not a joke.Since Zheng Zhi was scouted by Horton, the head coach of the Olympic team in 1998, he was trained as a full-back.Until six years later, in the 2004 Asian Cup, Zheng Zhi represented the national team in his first intercontinental competition. The Dutch coach Ali Han trusted him and placed him in the central defender position.That is to say, in this competition, Zheng Zhi showed excellent awareness, and his height of 1.8 meters can also become an excellent central defender.

It's just because for a long time later, the core position of the national team's midfielder was cut off, and Zheng Zhi's position began to move forward.So much so that Alihan later said bluntly during his coaching in the Chinese Super League: If Zheng Zhi listened to him and kept playing central defenders, he could become a world-class player.

In that era, there was a central defender who was not tall - Fabio Cannavaro.

However, although Zheng Zhi did not become a world-class central defender, he still did not lose his old profession. At least Neymar's superficially fancy movements did not completely deceive him.

Zhou Tiancheng walked over to give his hand, and couldn't help giving a thumbs up: "Okay, brother Zhi, sure enough, ginger is still hot."

Zheng Zhi smiled and shook his head lightly: "Good luck, but we can't go on like this, Da Chengzi."

Zhou Tiancheng nodded: "I know."

Brazil midfielder Paulinho pushed down Hao Junmin directly in the midfield, and Weber quickly ran up and took out a yellow card.

As the golden whistle of the last World Cup, his observation ability is very keen. Seeing Zhou Tiancheng running up from behind, he immediately signaled for the game to continue.

Zhou Tiancheng quickly took the set kick, and his big foot drove directly between Thiago Silva and David Luiz in the backcourt. This period of space was naturally reserved for Jiang Hao on purpose.

After Zhou Tiancheng drove out, he kept clapping his hands on the field: "Up, up!"

Lippi stood on the sidelines and made a single fist. He hoped to see such a counterattack.

"The counterattack is coming! Be fast, be fast, Jiang Hao! Jiang Hao!"

In the midfield, Paulinho followed up and kicked Zhou Tiancheng, but Zhou Tiancheng's pass was a beat faster than his movement, and in the frontcourt, Jiang Hao started to accelerate with all his strength, easily overtaking the two central defenders In front of him, Thiago Silva has no other choice at this time. As a central defender, he cannot let the opponent's striker face the goalkeeper alone. He can only stretch out a leg when Jiang Hao throws him away— —Even if the risk is great, he must do it.

There were boos everywhere in the stadium, an obvious offensive opportunity of the Chinese team was destroyed, and the referee Weber rushed to the scene of the incident immediately.

Thiago Silva hurriedly ran to the referee to appeal, Zhou Tiancheng ran to Jiang Hao who was lying on the ground, and the Chinese players also surrounded the referee.

Taking advantage of the atmosphere in the stands, He Wei encouraged him from a distance: "There must be nothing to say about this one. Jiang Hao overtook the car and passed alone. Thiago Silva... should have graduated."

Everyone thought that what Weber would draw out would be a red card, but what he got out of his pocket was just a yellow card.All that's left is a stern verbal warning.

Now the stadium is lively.Especially in the border area between the host and guest stands, Chinese fans and Brazilian fans began to spat and spat at each other, and the scene was so chaotic that security intervened.

In such an atmosphere, He Wei was still restrained, he almost couldn't control himself.He could only laugh, and said with dissatisfaction: "This game is really different. Even if it is the golden whistle of the World Cup, you have to take care of your emotions."

Zhou Tiancheng walked up to Jiang Hao and patted him: "Okay, Haozi, get up, you have to act decently."

Hearing this, Jiang Hao stopped rolling, and asked with a smile: "See it?"

Zhou Tiancheng curled his lips: "Haozi, as professional players, we should at least pay attention to self-cultivation of acting skills... Tell me, what do you mean by holding your crotch when someone kicks your leg?"

"Uh..." Jiang Hao suddenly felt embarrassed.

……

The Brazilian team deliberately pulled up the tempo very quickly today, abandoning the pass and control of the midfield. They understand that only by boosting the tempo and attack speed can they avoid the strongest part of the Chinese team's midfield.

Fred serves as an important fulcrum in the frontcourt. After the header returns to the point, Paulinho or Hulk squeeze into the penalty area and try a kick whenever they have the opportunity.

To be honest, during the opening period, the Chinese team was not easy on the scene, and the opportunities created in the frontcourt were not even as many as the brilliant clearances in the backcourt.

But fortunately, Mingtao reacted quickly at the beginning of the game, and fell to the ground in front of the goal many times to shut out the Brazilian team's highly layered offense.

Lippi's expression was not relaxed, he was chewing gum in his mouth, and now he was staring at the field without moving his mouth.

However, a few saves brought Ming Tao's state to the fore. After each successful save, he began to direct his teammates to press up in front of the goal.

Bigfoot accurately found Zhou Tiancheng's feet, and Zhou Tiancheng glanced at the frontcourt, wanting to do the same.Thiago Silva pressed forward directly, learning from the lesson just now, this time he couldn't let Zhou Tiancheng continue to penetrate behind him.

The only way is to cut it off at the source.

Zhou Tiancheng noticed that he was coming up to defend, he deliberately slammed his foot, and then pulled the ball in the opposite direction to change direction. Thiago Silva's foot had already missed Zhou Tiancheng, so he could only pull it with his hands in desperation, and put it on the spot. fall.

"Get started! Get started! This World Cup has zero tolerance for hand movements! Let's see what the referee Weber said this time!"

This time there is no room for justification, and it is completely worthy of a yellow card.

Two yellows turned into one red, and when Weber showed a red card, He Wei was excited: "Brazil's defensive force, Thiago Silva No. 20, was sent off in two minutes, no matter how Scolari would adjust , This is an opportunity for the Chinese team, maybe it can be a chance to come back from the scene! The counterattack starts now!"

Thiago Silva walked off the field covering his face, not daring to look at the teammates around him. Although Scolari comforted him and returned to his seat, he saw Tiancheng throw a long pass behind the defense line last week, almost Couldn't help spitting out a mouthful of old blood.

Suddenly feel the value of these two yellow cards?
