Grass roots glory

Chapter 973 Cruel and realistic

"The Chinese team was scored, ha! We are ahead of the Chinese team, they are the defending champions, the top four of the World Cup, the strongest star in Asia, the strongest midfielder, the biggest coach, but it's nothing special, We're ahead! Angie Postkoglu's team, who got the upper hand against Lippi, who's to say we're not creating an upset?"

The Chinese team fell behind for the first time in this Asian Cup. Not many people would have thought of such a situation. Although everyone was hyping the Chinese team to win the championship before the start of the game, but to be honest, few people thought that the Chinese team would win the championship. The horse stumbled.

Champions are a must - we are so close to even the World Cup, will the Asian Cup still be our goal?

Maybe we should challenge whether we can successfully defend the title with zero seals throughout the whole process. This is a more challenging goal.

This goal is about to fail in the current quarter-finals, but He Wei's mentality changed quickly. After all, he is a professional commentator, and he immediately conveyed a positive side to the fans.

"We fell behind for the first time in the Asian Cup, but it doesn't matter. Zhou Tiancheng has not played half of his state so far. This situation can stimulate his state. Being behind is not a bad thing. Everyone should be calm and calm. Thanks to the hosts for giving us some problems, it's better than making mistakes in the final."

Cahill excitedly ran to the bottom line and kicked the corner flagpole. This is his most famous and iconic celebration action. He has a high golf quotient and high scoring efficiency. He is an excellent shooter, but compared to the corner flagpole...

However, strong cheers erupted at the scene, and the home fans completely fell into crazy shouts. Cahill punched the stands, and all the fans opened their arms to him.

In the eyes of these home fans, he is a hero, breaking a corner flagpole is nothing!
Postkoglu ran to the sidelines and gave Cahill an excited hug. The atmosphere on the Australian side was like winning a penalty shootout in the final of the championship and runners-up.

Zheng Zhi looked a little anxious on the coaching bench, and was about to stand up and communicate with a few defenders who were close to the sidelines. Madaloni grabbed him: "Zheng, haha, what are you doing? Sit down, hold on, With Marcelo here, Zhou on the field, what are you worried about?"

Lippi didn't even say anything. He sat on the coach's bench as firmly as Mount Tai, with his hands crossed over his chest, and he looked confident. That is to say, according to FIFA's regulations, Lippi discarded the cigars he had to use on the sidelines in the early years, otherwise Lighting one at this time can show the style of a master even more.

Seeing the head coach look like this, Zheng Zhi sat down with a smile.Maybe I really think too much?
In this position, he still has to maintain the mentality of participating in the Asian Cup for the first time 11 years ago. Perhaps his worries are a bit unnecessary.

Thinking of this, he smiled: It's not because the Chinese team's midfield control is strong enough to be reassuring.In other words, with Zhou Tiancheng on the field, I'm afraid even if the head coach next door is sitting here, he won't be in a hurry, right?

It's not that there is a problem with the Chinese team's tactics. Such a quick counterattack is often impossible to defend against. Zhou Tiancheng used to appease Jiang Zhipeng, who was reckless in defense: "Don't think too much, your idea is good, we just fight back, we can win , they can't make big waves."

Zhou Tiancheng has such a strong self-confidence, Jiang Zhipeng also nodded vigorously.Over the years, since Zhou Tiancheng took over the captain's armband and took over the right to speak in the locker room, the temperament of the Chinese team has gradually become the same as him, and even local players have been deeply infected.

Australia's defense is impenetrable, limiting the most threatening mid-lane penetration and long-distance passing of the Chinese team, but can these two points limit the Chinese team's goals?

not enough!
Zhou Tiancheng also has a trick to set the ball at the bottom of the box. With Australia's rough defensive style, the Chinese team speeds up the passing rhythm and attacks to the front of the penalty area. It is difficult not to get a set ball opportunity.

On the left side of the penalty area, Australia's central defender and Yedinak built the tallest human wall, but Zhou Tiancheng set the ball and went down three ways, passing through the gap and heading straight to the dead corner.

The wall blocked the view of goalkeeper Matthew Ryan, and it was too late for him to see the ball fall to the ground to block it.

1:1, Australia only led by 8 minutes,
He Wei applauded excitedly: "You see, Zhou Tiancheng has begun to show his strength. It's very simple. The Chinese team has recovered its form. Not surprisingly, this goal will declare that it will control the rhythm of the game."

In fact, Australia has never taken the initiative, but this goal brought the two sides back to the same starting line. He Wei has the confidence to say that the opponent has no chance!

But Postkoglu and the home fans didn't believe it. They also scored a goal, which proves that they have a chance to lead the Chinese team and have a chance to win!

When the Chinese team attacked, of course they could only shrink their defense, but the rhythm of counterattack was much faster when they turned around.

Goalkeeper Matthew Ryan kicked off the ball with a big kick. Yedinak deliberately avoided Zhou Tiancheng on the offensive end, and ran to the other side to compete with Wu Xi for the top. He was a head taller than Wu Xi and was stronger than one lap.The header is ferried vigorously to Cahill.

This is not a typical Australian attacking routine, at least Cahill will not get the ball so early outside the penalty area. His characteristic is to play a finisher in the penalty area, and his head kick is a specialty.However, Cahill did not expect the first step when he broke out. The two central defenders, Feng Xiaoting and Mei Fang, were slow to start and were overtaken immediately.

Seeing that the front is wide open, and Cahill is about to attack the penalty area again, He Wei is really anxious this time: "Return to defense, return to defense! Let the 36-year-old Cahill rush up and score goals like this, playing with fire!"

Both Feng Xiaoting and Mei Fang were trying their best to make up for their mistakes, but they found that Zhou Tiancheng was faster before chasing two meters.

In fact, Cahill was already very fast. In two or three breaths, he had already reached the penalty area to face the attacking Mingtao.

At the age of 36, he is often capable of overpowering the central defenders to grab headers in the Chinese Super League. His physical fitness is indeed first-class. This is his signature scoring method that has been played in his career and has been frequently staged in the Premier League. It is possible to have such an operation , is enough to illustrate his physical fitness.

It's just that he didn't expect Zhou Tiancheng to be faster. He was thinking of how to deceive Ming Tao, but he didn't pay attention to Zhou Tiancheng who was chasing after him.

When he thought of pushing to the far end, the moment he kicked, the ball was intercepted by Zhou Tiancheng.

Zhou Tiancheng did not clear the sideline, but stopped firmly at his feet. Zhou Tiancheng turned around and accelerated, commanding his teammates to turn back and counterattack. He started to dribble the ball to launch a second wave of impact, turning his head and killing the opponent's penalty area!

The entire Australian midfielder was in a daze. They thought it was time to celebrate. Zhou Tiancheng accelerated and swayed in the blink of an eye, and directly passed Jedinak and Troisi cleanly.

This time the midfield was empty, and there was a chance to pass through. Zhou Tiancheng sent a long-distance direct pass. Jiang Hao went around a small circle to go offside and went straight behind the central defender. The opponent's two central defenders turned around very slowly. Jiang Hao The characteristics hit the soft underbelly just right.

Easily passed the goalkeeper and scored an empty goal.

At 21 minutes, Australia took the lead, and at 31 minutes, the Chinese team came back.

Moreover, Zhou Tiancheng's plan to score goals in this way can be said to have destroyed the opponent's will.

Jiang Hao just completed the icing on the cake. The most bloody scene on the court was Zhou Tiancheng's two long-distance return raids.

"Hahahaha, the dominance visible to the naked eye, the Chinese team overtook it in only 10 minutes. Did they give in to the opponent at the beginning?"

Cahill put his hands on his knees, unable to believe this fact.

In fact, he is already good enough, but the opponent in front of him... If it was him ten years ago, the blow five seconds ago might not have such a result.

But now, it's still old.

He still can't believe that it was Zhou Tiancheng who destroyed his sure-kill blow.

The reality is here, cruel but unavoidable.

Watching the young Chinese team embrace and celebrate, Cahill had the idea of ​​retreating for the first time.

Does it make sense to persist?
Maybe no matter how hard he tries, he will still have regrets.

There are talented people from generation to generation, and the young man on the other side is so frighteningly strong...
