Grass roots glory

Chapter 972 The Soul of the Kangaroo Legion

The narrator on Australian national television raised his voice, reacting more than Jedinak did, as if the kick had been kicked at himself.

"Foul! Foul! Zhou Tiancheng fouled, how could the Chinese team bully people like this!"

In this kind of game, it is quite normal for the commentator to be selectively blind.He didn't judge Yedinak's actions just now, but Zhou Tiancheng's actions would be infinitely magnified.

"The referee must say something, even if he is currently the most well-known star in Asia, but such dirty actions must not appear in this kind of game."

The home fans also booed. According to their thinking, Zhou Tiancheng should be sent off directly.

The Chinese fans were naturally dissatisfied. They all stood up and booed at the home team stands, and many fans directly raised their middle fingers.

In terms of dirty, our Chinese team is not as good as you.

As a former British colony, the style of Australian football also follows the tradition of English football. It believes in straight-forward high-altitude play, advocating physical confrontation, and high-intensity fouls are also the most significant symbol of traditional English football.

But now the Premier League is taking the technical flow route. Anyway, you are still the national team. In the international arena, it is probably only here that you can see such "authentic" football.

This land was originally used as a barren place for exile by the British Empire...Looking at the "ingredients", can these people be expected to know professionalism?

Although the opponent couldn't hear it, the Chinese fans still couldn't complain.

Bahrain referee Nassef walked towards Zhou Tiancheng with a smile. He still didn't take out the yellow card, and his attitude was not bad, but he only verbally warned Zhou Tiancheng.

This time the AFC is not too bad. Although he is a referee in West Asia, Nassef is still a moderate. He has completely different styles from the old acquaintances Hassan and Fagani who are familiar to Chinese fans, probably because of this game. Due to the particularity of the game, the AFC also considers controlling the hot scenes as much as possible.

This is beneficial to the Chinese team. Australia tried its best to use fierce physical confrontation to cut off the Chinese team's offense. Zhou Tiancheng kept dribbling the ball and moved laterally in the midfield. Jedinak and Troisi played against him. They stayed close at every step, as long as they saw him pass the ball, the two desperately seized the opportunity to shovel.

This was unavoidable for Zhou Tiancheng. In Asia, his strength was too outstanding, and no opponent would allow such a powerful person to pass the ball comfortably on the court.

The long pass is obviously impossible to play. Without this kick time, Zhou Tiancheng can only infiltrate from the middle to seek cooperation with Hao Junmin, or actively seize the opportunity to guide Wu Xi to participate in the midfield and then insert.When encountering double-teaming and pressing by opponents, a better choice is to split the ball to both sides.

Jiang Hao ran out of position on the front line and raised his hand to signal. Zhou Tiancheng saw it, but he really didn't have this chance. Even when he passed to the wing, he had to rush to beat the opponent by a beat. Often he just passed the ball. He was thrown to the ground by his opponent.

He Wei and Xu Yang saw it, and they could only sigh while worried: "It's really hard for Zhou Tiancheng, that is him, the opponent is obviously eyeing him today, this kind of pressing method, only he can be calm, Still pointing at where to hit."

Zhou Tiancheng can output firepower in the midfield, but after 10 minutes of the game, the ball came to both sides, and the Chinese team had problems breaking through from the side.

It is natural for Wu Sanshi to cut past the opponent's full back, but the opponent's right central defender Spiranovic rushed out of the penalty area and shoveled the ball out of the sideline.

Switching to Chen Pengfei on the other side, he was used to relying on speed to hold the ball, but the opponent didn't give him a chance. Another center back, Milligan, came up directly in front of him and joined forces with the full back to steal the ball.

Chen Pengfei is very confident in his ability to break through. Australia's overall forward-pressing defense caught him off guard.

As a central defender with three World Cup experience, Milligan's defense is much more agile than Spiranovic's, and he did not eradicate the sideline, so Australia has a chance to directly counterattack this time.

"Ah, Chen Pengfei was careless, the ball was intercepted, be careful, Australia is coming back."

Naturally, Australia's counterattack will not go through the middle, but a long pass directly behind the left back Jiang Zhipeng of the Chinese team. On this side, the opponent's right midfielder Robbie Kruse is extremely fast, which is not considered in Leverkusen. The main force, but at this moment, it still reflects the strength gap of the players in Europe. One man scored the ball and directly passed Jiang Zhipeng who came up to rush.

For the first time after the opening, Australia's attack directly killed the Chinese team's penalty area.

"Not good, middle lane, pay attention to middle lane! Jiang Zhipeng is too reckless this time."

He Wei and Xu Yang raised their voices at the same time.

The side defense has been wide open, and the entire defense line of the Chinese team quickly returned to defense. Zhou Tiancheng can only call everyone to stand in the middle of the penalty area. As a midfielder, he firmly guards the penalty spot and strictly guards against the opponent's inverted triangle pass. The ball or vice versa is passed outside the penalty area.With Zhou Tiancheng's strong defensive coverage ability, this is all within his ability.

However, the opponent chose to pass to the goal, and there was a chaos in front of the goal.

In the small penalty area in front of the Chinese team's goal, five players started at the same time within a range of no more than two meters, which caused great interference to Ming Tao.Such a situation, for the offensive and defensive players, is the subconscious sense and reaction in front of the goal.

The Chinese team has the upper hand in the penalty area, but it is the opponent who grabs the ball!

"Dangerous, dangerous! Cahill has the ball, we must entangle him!"

Feng Xiaoting, the core of the Chinese team's defense, has been holding back the opponent's starting single arrow Tim Cahill, but the effect is not obvious. Although he is holding the ball with his back, Cahill lifts the ball very skillfully. Unloading it, and then leaning against Feng Xiaoting, this pulling resistance became the source of his strength instead, he flew up with his back, and hooked directly!

Mingtao in front of the goal didn't have time to react, the distance was close, and the tall Feng Xiaoting blocked his sight. When he saw the ball shot by Cahill, he was a step too late, and the ball flew directly into the goal!
"Hey!" He Wei shook his head regretfully: "Tim Cahill was still scored by him. We said before the game that we should pay attention to him. At the age of 36, he can score in double figures in a season. It can be average. role? And we should know him pretty well."

He Wei is obviously very sorry. This is the number one striker in the Australian striker and the top scorer in the history of the Australian national team. Although Cahill has come to play in the Super League, he has played for Everton in the Premier League for eight seasons. He scored 226 goals in 56 appearances.

What is this concept?
Before Zhou Tiancheng appeared, he was the active Asian player who scored the most goals in the five major leagues. Even Sun Xingmin, who is blown up by the Korean media all day long, is still not as good as him for the time being.

The 2006 World Cup was the pinnacle of the Australian national team, and it was one step short of advancing to the quarter-finals. Among the "golden generation" of Australia, Viduka and Kewell have gradually faded out of the national team, and the state of the bald Bresciano is hardly comparable to the peak.

Only Cahill can have such an efficient and stable firepower output.

It is no exaggeration to say that a player like Cahill is worthy of respect. Although he is close to the age of retirement, he is undoubtedly the soul of the national team.

"GOOOOOOAL!!! Tim Cahill! Cahill! Heroic Tim... oh my god we're ahead!!!"

This scene was obviously beyond the expectations of the Australian narrator. He jumped up and cheered, but his tone seemed to kneel to Cahill...
