Chapter 66 The Seven Pedaladas
"SHOTTING!"

As Zhou Xing's last strong shot was saved by the German goalkeeper, the score was still one to one, and the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half.After a fierce 45-minute game, the Chinese team drew with the German team.In the second half, they will also have a fierce battle.

During the half-time break, the players of the Chinese team walked into the locker room out of breath.It was only half a game against Germany, but it felt like they had played more than ten games and were exhausted.

When playing against a world-class team, it feels different.In normal times, Zhou Xing would not even catch a breath during the halftime game.Today, however, he felt extremely tired.In addition to playing three games in a row, there are some physical difficulties.Mentally, he also felt a lot of pressure.

Sometimes, honoring your country is no joke.Besides, the German arranged the only striker of the Chinese team on him.In this case, he will be under considerable pressure.

In the first half, defended by two tall German defenders, he really didn't have many chances.When he scored, the German defenders paid more attention to him when they kicked.For some big moves or small fouls, they used them very covertly, trying not to let the referee find out.In this case, Zhou Xing sometimes couldn't even get a free kick after falling down.

"The performance was good in the first half, and we must work harder in the second half."

Facing the players, the German Boll said loudly.This game is also very important to him.

"Coach, will we still play like this in the second half?" Zhang Chen asked after seeing Zhou Xing struggled in the first half.He was also afraid that Zhou Xing would not be able to persist if he fought too continuously.

"Still playing like this, stick to this style of playing. But Zhou Xing, you have to be careful not to work too hard. If you are not physically strong, tell me, and I will replace you."

Watching Zhou Xing sitting on the bench drinking water non-stop, his forehead was covered with sweat.Seeing his tired appearance, Boer said with pity and concern.

"It's nothing, my physical strength is good." Throwing down the empty bottle he had finished drinking, Zhou Xing stood up from the stool, jumped a few steps, and said shaking his head.

"Hey, it's bragging rights."

Looking at Zhou Xing, Meng Qingtao shook his head.When people were doubting whether Zhou Xing's physical strength could support the second half, he gave everyone a huge surprise. In the second half, he staged a shocking scene.

※※※

At the beginning of the second half, the China Youth team still did not adjust well, and the German team took the opportunity to launch a wave of offensive; Open the defense line of the youth team.

"Attention, attention."

Seeing that China's defense line was a little lax, Xie Fei shouted hastily.Now his face is covered with grass clippings, full of tension.Just now, he just pulled out a powerful shot from the German team.

At this time, the German team player Jensen made another quick breakthrough and distributed the ball to the front of the Chinese team's penalty area.Deng Lei, who was defending Jansen, immediately rushed to Jansen's side to prevent him from breaking through. Zhou Kai, the other Chinese team member, also rushed up to defend. The two of them firmly locked the German's position and prevented him from breaking through. There is room to shoot.

Gently flicking the ball, Jenson distributed the ball to the other side and passed it to the feet of No. [-] Adler of the German team.

Adele took the ball lightly and broke into the penalty area, forming a one-on-one with Xie Fei.

Xie Fei nimbly fell to the ground, snatched the football from the German's feet, and won the duel.Then, he quickly threw the ball to Deng Lei's feet, and launched a new attack by throwing the ball.

Deng Lei didn't hesitate, and passed the ball to Cheng Dao in front of him with a straight kick.After receiving the ball, Cheng Dao didn't stop, and immediately kicked the ball to Zhou Xing's feet.Due to the toughness of the German midfielder, Zhou Xing retreated more to get the ball at this time, otherwise it would be difficult to win opportunities.

After getting the ball, he dribbled through at high speed.He is dribbling on the left side of midfield and next he will start his pedalada - bicycle dribbling performance, and this performance will attract the attention of the world!

Zhou Xing dribbled the ball along the left side of the midfield and approached the goal. The German player No. [-] defender Matip who was defending him chased after him until he was near the penalty spot. Pedalada is a kind of dribbling action that imitates pedaling a bicycle-not the kind of action that people often say about cycling over people, the kind of action that kicks the ball backwards and flies over one's head, but a special fake action.

Zhou Xing's feet circled the top of the football, as if he was about to dribble forward, but he didn't.He could turn the ball forward, backward or to the other side at any time.But he still let the ball go in the original direction. Zhou Xing's feet kept passing over the ball, but he just didn't touch the ball.

One pedalada, two, three, the experienced German defender Matip swayed left and right every time to try to steal the ball.The camera flicked back and forth behind the goal to follow Zhou Xing's movements so convincingly that it was impossible to ignore the performance.

Four pedalada, five, jugglers are called players in brazil who can make imaginative and deceptive dribbling moves, continuous feints are very performative but are also considered to be offensive A display of contempt by the opponent.

Zhou Xing personally took the penalty. His eyes were fixed on the right side of the goal, but the penalty shot flew to the left side, and the ball went in!Zhou Xing ran to the sidelines, ran to the crazy crowd, and raised his hands to accept the congratulations!

"I didn't want to make the moves so fancy at the time, but the opponent's defender Matip was too difficult to deal with. He was very experienced and kept staring at me. I had to find a way to get rid of him." The wonderful performance in the championship, Zhou Xing recalls it so lightly.
