Legend of Fengshen

Chapter 949 Asian Cup ([-])
Not long after, the players of the Chinese team paid the price for their arrogance. In the 61st minute, the Chinese team lost the ball too casually in the frontcourt. The worthy Iranian referee decisively awarded a penalty kick and showed him a yellow card!

Standing on the sidelines, Perrin was really angry. He loudly scolded the players for not listening to instructions and not concentrating at all. Originally, according to his idea, China should not invest too much offensive power in the frontcourt, but at this time the Chinese team was Many people in the frontcourt had already crossed the warning line, but he was not skilled enough and arrogantly lost the offensive ball. How could he not be angry!
Zhang Yuan was also terrified. As the captain, he tried hard to explain to the Iranian referee that the defender Ren Qiang on his side did not make a foul, but got the ball first, but nothing helped.

He can only silently pray that goalkeeper Wang Lei can play well today and save this penalty.

His prayer really worked. Hazaz took the penalty and pushed it to the right side of the goal. As a result, Wang Lei, who seemed to have the help of God, really judged the right direction and saved the penalty.

The Chinese team could have played a counterattack, but unfortunately, the pass in the backcourt was unreliable, and Zhang Yuan failed to get the ball in the frontcourt!

Zhang Yuan gave a thumbs up to Wang Lei in front of the goal. This save is too critical, because there are only three group matches, and the importance of each game is particularly prominent. If the goal is opened, it will lose, of course for the Chinese team It is not good news, and if the Saudi team scores first, they are bound to take it back, set up a bus, and rely on counterattacks for food. This is undoubtedly a problem for the Chinese team, which is not strong in tackling tough battles.

Zhang Yuan was the key target of the Saudi team throughout the game. He was surrounded by three people at close range to double-team at any time. However, the Saudi team's defensive state is still relatively good today, and their position selection in the confrontation is relatively prominent. Zhang Yuan He also didn't play very comfortably, and his teammates couldn't share the pressure on him.

Seeing Wang Lei save the penalty kick, Pei Lan on the sidelines also heaved a sigh of relief. Of course, he can understand the significance of this save.Have a long memory!Perrin scolded his players fiercely in his heart.

The Chinese team has always been a strange team. When Saudi Arabia failed to score a penalty kick, the Chinese team’s memory grew, but the players became more and more inconsistent in their thinking. Some wanted to attack and some wanted to defend. The results were evenly matched. , Now the Saudi team has the upper hand in possession of the ball, and they began to press forward frequently, trying to cause trouble for the Chinese team.

"Hold on! Hold on! Remember the coach's tactical arrangement! Don't fight on your own!" Zhang Yuan called out to his teammates while retreating.

There are quite a few Chinese fans who came to watch the football at the Brisbane Stadium today. Some came directly from China, and many were students and overseas Chinese studying in Australia. They were a little nervous when they saw the Chinese team on the scene.

At this time, the voice of "Team China! Stand up!" began to be heard, and gradually converged into a uniform slogan. The players of the Chinese team gradually stabilized their minds and focused on defense.

After missing one or two excellent opportunities, the Saudi team was helpless against the re-won Chinese team's defense, but they were obviously not reconciled. They continued to dominate the possession of the ball and wanted to continue to test the pressure on the Chinese team's defense. The formation also began to move upwards.

Seeing such a situation, Zhang Yuan was secretly happy. The midfielder who is interested in him seems to be focusing on the frontcourt at the moment, and he is a little slack. If the Chinese team can play a high-quality counterattack, it will be quite wonderful. one thing.

There are many cases on the football field that are classic lessons, but there are still teams that have been deceived one after another. This is the case with the Saudi team today. A good team can always consistently adhere to the arrangements of the head coach, and the execution of tactics and discipline is relatively strong. But China Can China and Saudi Arabia be considered good teams? !Can't count!
The players of the Chinese team were out of shape when implementing Perrin's tactical arrangements, and the Saudi team was also out of shape. What about the defensive counterattack that everyone agreed? !
The Saudi team no longer clearly saw the short-term chaos of the Chinese team, which made them feel that they had an opportunity to take advantage of. The cruel suppression seemed to make them forget that the overall strength of the Chinese team is still a little higher than theirs.

In the 76th minute of the game, Saudi Arabia’s tragedy came. Their frontcourt attack failed and they were hit by a counterattack by the Chinese team. Zhang Yuan headed the ball back to Gao Jun. Gao Jun took the ball and advanced a few steps. Started, sent a direct pass immediately.

The formation of the Saudi team is relatively good, and such a blunt statement is to take advantage of Zhang Yuan's speed advantage.

The Saudi team was marking the two central defenders named Hausavi, and they were a little distracted when Gao Jun took the ball. As a result, Zhang Yuan seized this opportunity and succeeded in turning offside. Easily hit the ball into the empty goal!

The Chinese team led Saudi Arabia 1-0. After scoring the goal, Zhang Yuan ran to the sidelines to applaud the Chinese fans at the scene. In his ears, he always recalled the Chinese fans shouting "Chinese team! Come on!" Character!Such voices made the players of the Chinese team stabilize their minds. According to Perrin's thinking, they organized the defense well and made the Saudi team move towards impetuousness. The victory is also due to the fans.

Anna led Zhang Yufei to applaud Zhang Yuan vigorously in the stands, and scored again!My dear, it is always so easy for you to score goals!Anna thought with a smile.

Perrin also hugged his assistants on the sidelines. According to his thinking, the Chinese team scored a goal. This made him more and more convinced that his thinking was correct. The Chinese team is an underdog. Our foundation is to do a good job of defense first. The cornerstone of the team's victory cannot be changed just because of Zhang Yuan alone!

The rising arrogance of the Saudi team in the second half was ruthlessly extinguished by the Chinese team. Now they only have more than ten minutes left. The mad attack lasted at least 20 minutes just now, but they failed to break through the gate of the Chinese team. They themselves doubted themselves Can the score be equalized in the remaining time.

After the Chinese team scored a goal, the confidence of the players not only greatly increased, but also a great sense of trust in Perrin's tactical arrangements. With Zhang Yuan in the frontcourt, the Chinese team said it was unrealistic to control the ball, and the Saudi team also became ruthless. , Such a game where the winner or loser is determined can't help them not to be fierce, the siege is very fierce, the Chinese team simply opened their feet!

Zhang Yuan frequently started hand-to-hand combat with the opponent's central defenders. In fact, Zhang Yuan was not afraid of this. The key was that the passes of his teammates in front were a bit unreliable. The direction of clearance was often not to the front but to the sideline to clear the siege. Handing over the ball, now finally they know how to send high balls forward.

The advantage of this is that Zhang Yuan is not at a disadvantage to the central defender of the Saudi team in terms of height or strength, and even has some advantages. Gao Jun and another forward surround him, and the Chinese team can actually pass the ball in such a way Take control.

The Saudi fans booed Zhang Yuan several times when he took the ball. The main reason for booing him was that Zhang Yuan could control the ball. A gesture of delaying time, holding the ball steadily, moving slowly to the side, trying to make the opponent foul or let the opponent kick the ball out of the sideline.

This rogue style of play made the Saudi fans of course unhappy, but it made Perrin very satisfied. The number of goals is not important, the key is to win this victory and make a good start for the group stage!
As the time passed, the Saudi team exhausted their last counterattack and failed to fulfill their wish to equalize the score. The Chinese team got a good start in the 2015 Asian Cup!

Zhang Yuan and a group of teammates gathered in a circle after the game. Zhang Yuan said to everyone: "We did a very good job today! We won an important victory. Don't forget that our goal is the championship. In every game During the game, we must achieve unity of thought. Today, there were several stages where everyone disagreed. The consequences of this are very serious! I hope we will not be like this in the next game! Anyway, brothers, we won today ! At night, hey! Everyone can sleep well!"
