Chapter 169 The Red Devil Who Smashed Everything!
Fuck, the title is harmonized with the red (of) devil
-
When the halftime whistle sounded, Long Shute led his teammates back to the locker room.

What he is most worried about is whether Director Wei of the Foot Management Center will wait there and continue the important speech that was not completed 45 minutes ago...

Fortunately, the locker room was empty, and he could breathe a sigh of relief, no need to hit the bench with his head again...

"Everyone performed very well in the first half. For the second half, I only have four words to tell you." Gao Hongbo's face was shining brightly, but his jaw was trembling slightly, "Stay on the counterattack."

As the captain, Long Shute originally wanted to emphasize to his teammates not to relax too much, and then use the miracle of Istanbul to remind everyone, but he considered that the psychological quality of the Chinese teammates is not strong enough, in case they are frightened , had a counterproductive effect, then the loss outweighed the gain...

So he simply calmed down, took out his mobile phone and sent a text message to Suarez in the Netherlands:
"It's 45 minutes before I lift the Asian Cup trophy, what's your decision?"

——Although players are prohibited from using mobile phones to communicate with the outside world in principle, facing Long Shute, who has already shown the characteristics of a ball master, both the head coach and the team leader can only pretend not to see it...
-
As Zhang Lu predicted, the Japanese team launched a fierce attack in the second half.

Zaccheroni deserves to be a famous Italian coach. After the half-time break, he re-established the confidence of the players. If you only look at the mental state of Keisuke Honda and others, it doesn't look like they were rubbed on the grass in the first half ...

Perhaps Zaccheroni told his disciples about the miracle in Istanbul, and the Japanese players imagined themselves as Liverpool?
But...Liverpool in 2005, their jerseys were red! -
If there is no Long Shute, the Chinese team may not be able to withstand the Japanese team's offensive.

Especially Keisuke Honda, the core of their offense.

The Japanese general who played for CSKA Moscow in the Russian Super League has developed a good body in the process of fighting against polar bears. He can almost be called a tank among Japanese players who are generally weak in size. His long-range shooting skills, as long as he enters the 35 meters of the Chinese team, he may pose a threat at any time.

It's just that he faced the Chinese captain, so he couldn't play these characteristics, but exposed his weaknesses.

Long-term playing in the Russian Super League, which relies on personal ability rather than teamwork, has caused him to be too sticky to the ball in many cases. At the same time, his breakthrough is too dependent on explosive power, but his physical fitness is not enough for him to continue to explode. In addition, his absolute speed is not fast enough. , The running ability is average, so before 60 minutes, the real version of the Japanese team's Ozora Tsubasa disappeared in Long Shute's close-fitting defense. Except for showing his face when taking free kicks, other times Almost no one is seen anymore.

The core of the attack was frozen, and the Japanese team's offensive could only become thunderous and rainy. They had to use the number of players to create pressure on the Chinese team's defense, but as long as their defenders dared to press heavily, the Chinese team immediately took advantage of it. The press played a wave of counterattacks.

In the second half, Long Shute sent at least four high-quality long passes, but no matter whether it was Hao Junmin, Shao Jiayi, or Yang Xu who was at the top, they failed to convert the pass into a goal. The shot only got one shot on target, and it was easily resolved by the opponent's goalkeeper Eiji Kawashima.

Only Yu Hai, who replaced Shao Jiayi, seized the opportunity. With plenty of energy, he sent the ball into the far corner of the goal with a chance shot, which made Zaccheroni stunned for a while.

4-0!

This seemingly icing on the cake goal caused the morale of the Japanese team, which had been attacking continuously for 30 minutes, to plummet.

But they haven't completely given up hope.

Zaccheroni threw out the remaining two substitutions at once, replacing the forward Ryoichi Maeda and the midfielder Taixing Konno who were overwhelmed by the Chinese strong men, and sent two offensive players Li Zhongcheng and Shikai Moe.

Anyway, Konno Taixing has almost no role in the task of defending Long Shute, so it's better to try his luck by breaking the jar!
Both Uchida Atsuto and Nagatomosuke participated in the attack. Except for the goalkeeper, the Japanese team had no players in their own half. Even the two central defenders rushed to the frontcourt to help their teammates pass the ball...

They have given up on defense! -
In all fairness, even if Long Shute freezes Keisuke Honda, when the Japanese team is all on top, the Chinese team members will still face tremendous pressure.

Even Long Shute is no exception:
He was really worried that one of his teammates had a sudden mental breakdown and directly smashed his own goal when passing back to the goalkeeper...

Fortunately, the Chinese team did not reflexively fail in front of the Japanese team like they did in the face of the South Korean team. They continued to maintain a solid overall defense and never let their opponents find a chance.

The time has come to the last few minutes.

The Chinese captain, who passed another two long passes, finally gave up the idea of ​​getting an assist, and he decided to solve the battle by himself.

He first strengthened the pressure on Keisuke Honda, so that the Japanese core could not find a way to get out of the ball, and then cooperated with Zheng Zhi who was robbing, and unexpectedly stretched out his foot and broke the football.

The angry Honda wanted to turn around and fight back, but Long Shute immediately transferred the ball to Yu Hai on the left, and he started to speed up.

Since entering the second half, he has never been as fast as the first half. Even the two commentators explained for him, "Long Shute is also a human being. He has to take care of both offensive and defensive ends. The pressure is heavy, and of course he will feel tired." "...

That's why his forward thrust this time seemed particularly sudden.

It was impossible for Honda Keisuke, who was physically overdrawn, to catch up with him, and Makoto Hasebe, who was underprepared, only had time to stretch out his right hand, and pulled the air that was disturbed by Long Shute...

Thanks to the heavy pressure of the Japanese team, it took him only three seconds to pass the last defender from the top of the arc of his own big penalty area.

At this moment...he is still in the half of the Chinese team!

His speed not only frightened the Japanese team, even Yu Hai almost didn't react. After waking up like a dream, the left midfielder quickly sent a kick to the ground. No matter which direction the kick went, there was only Long in front anyway. A special person!

"This is the Chinese team's own half, no offside, no offside!"

Zhang Bin murmured quickly, and then the adrenaline burst out collectively:

"Long Shute's footsteps are still fast and steady, and he doesn't look like he played the final for 90 minutes at all!
He formed a single sword!Eiji Kawashima hasn't even returned to the restricted area yet!He has a chance!Hey hey..."

His voice changed several times in just two seconds, but he still couldn't keep up with Long Shute's footsteps.
-
When Long Shute appeared in front of him from the other half, Japanese goalkeeper Eiji Kawashima's heart was absolutely broken.

He was standing at the top of the penalty area at the time. He originally expected to rush forward to see if he could use his height to help his teammates grab a set kick, but instead he saw a flaming red flame killing two white figures. out!
He doesn't need to look at his face at all, he can only be sure from the opponent's extremely impactful running speed:
It must be the devil!

It only took the devil three breaths to come to a place close to him. Eiji Kawashima rushed towards him like a madman. Even with a red card, the counterattack could not be successful!

Just like Suarez sacrificed himself to save Uruguay in the World Cup, he also wants to keep the last hope for his teammates!

Kawashima Eiji's thoughts are enough to move the world, but his hands and feet can't catch the devil.

The devil covered in red suddenly stopped in front of him, and then dunked the ball in the completely opposite direction!
The desperate Kawashima Eiji could only use his hands and feet to rush towards the defensive line rolling towards the football.

He is like a mad dog, digging the land in front of his house!

The more he planed, the more desperate he became, because the flames were getting farther and farther away from him!
His feet tripped over something, and he fell down on the edge of the restricted area with a "thump" sound!
He could only turn his head slightly, watching the flames rushing towards the goal he was guarding with the ball.

His eyes were suddenly wet, and tears rolled in his eyes, but he refused to fall.
-
The penalty area is only 16.5 meters away from the goal. Even for ordinary people, it only takes three or four seconds to sprint, let alone Long Shute.

But Long Shute suddenly slowed down.

Nearly [-] fans in the audience showed puzzled expressions.

Those five-star red flags that were waving vigorously also slowly stopped.

Nearly ten million viewers in front of the TV also stopped their cigarettes, beer, or coffee.

"Long Shute... what is this for?"

Zhang Bin and Zhang Lu asked questions in unison.

Does the Chinese captain, who occasionally makes extraordinary moves, feel that it is too cruel to bully Japan, and is going to kick this inevitable goal out of the bottom line?

Or do you want to think about life in advance and make Bashen's actions in the European Cup in 2012 a copy of tribute to yourself?
He can't be so stupid, can he?
I saw that Long Shute's speed was getting slower and slower, and he finally dribbled the ball and stopped on the goal line!
Facing the empty door, he turned around, then spread his hands towards Eiji Kawashima lying on the ground and Daiki Iwamasa further out, shrugging his shoulders very clearly.

There was no expression on his face, but through the high-definition camera, everyone could see the arrogance in his eyes!
After doing these provocative actions, he finally turned around and made a strong shot on the goal line.

The left foot pushed hard on the ground, the right leg swung high, the back of the instep was stretched straight, and he slammed heavily on the half of the football that had entered the goal!
"Oh!"

The snow-white net was almost torn apart by this heavy artillery bombardment!
The Chinese captain completely shattered the dignity and arrogance of the opponent with a thunderous blow!

The eyelids of Eiji Kawashima, who was lying on the ground, shook involuntarily, and the two lines of tears that had been accumulated for a long time finally came out of his eyes!

Iwamasa Taiki, who was still chasing back in vain, his legs gave way, and he fell to the ground in the penalty area!
Hasebe Makoto and Endo Yasuto who were farther away were also powerlessly kneeling on the turf!
5-0!

The Yamato battleship they were proud of was knocked to the ground by that red devil again!
They have a sense of foreboding.

I am afraid that the shadow of this devil will accompany them for a long, long time...
