i don't want to be king

Chapter 612 Don't be cowardly, just do it!
The first half of the game has come to 43 minutes. Because there are goals and several players fell to the ground and were injured, it is expected that stoppage time will be 2 minutes.

With 5 minutes left before the halftime break, many people had already calmed down from the joy brought by Xu Bao's wonderful header, and turned to worry again.

There have been too many painful memories in the history of the Chinese team, and fans of a slightly older age can still remember some "sensitive words".

For example, "There is not much time left for the Chinese team."

Another example is "If you tie, you will qualify."

What else is "black for 3 minutes, black for 9 minutes", blah blah blah.

There are too many painful memories of being reversed and overturned in the lead.

So when the two sides retreated to their respective halfs to continue the game, including the Chinese assistant coach on the bench, Mr. Zhang in the stands, and thousands of fans, He Wei, Xu Yang and others immediately became nervous again.

This is not only the first time that the Chinese team has taken the lead in the final round of the world preliminaries for more than half a year, it is more like a faint flame, and everyone is afraid that it will be completely extinguished on the court at any time.

The Koreans also came to their senses, and Cha Duli regained his energy from his depression. He said loudly to Stillik: "There is still time in the game, and we will definitely make it back!"

Stillik and the assistant coaches all yelled at the field, signaling the players to immediately start pressing forward.

The minimum goal of the Korean team before the game was to bring back 1 point from the away game. In fact, the minimum goal of the proud Korean players in private discussion was to win at least 1 goal.

When the game resumed, the South Korean players immediately pressed all over the line like crazy. They went all out to create great pressure on the Chinese team's defense.

Lippi's instructions are still to stick to a solid defense and fast passing style of play. However, facing the menacing Koreans, it is difficult for the Chinese players to regain the ball.

The ball came to Ki Sung-yong's feet, and was directly swayed by Li Liang just now, which made the South Korean captain feel ashamed. He has already pressed to a position almost on the same level as Gu Zizhe and wants to attack the goal directly.

Ji Chengyong and Gu Zizhe turned their feet continuously, patiently looking for opportunities in front of the 30-meter area.

Nam Tae-hee and Ji Dong-won on both sides suddenly crossed and pulled, Ji Chengyong knocked the ball to Gu Zizhe and then turned around and immediately inserted it. Forward Li Tingxie took the lead and started running back from the penalty area, trying to drive away Feng Xiao's defense.

Ji Chengyong's running is very beautiful, and he came directly between Zhou Zhi and Meng Fang. He waved and asked for the ball loudly. If Gu Zizhe sent a pick pass, Ji Chengyong would get an excellent opportunity!
Li Liang didn't see it that way, he realized that the red-eyed Koreans, now each of them wanted to solve the problem directly by themselves.

Because Li Liang is too familiar with this feeling.

Gu Zizhe was about to kick the ball, but Zhou Zhi didn't care about Ji Chengyong who was behind him and stretched his legs to try to intercept. .

Hao Jingmin rushed over, Gu Zizhe raised his right arm as if he was going to take a long shot with his left foot, Hao Jingmin jumped sideways to block, but Li Liang at the side saw that this was still a fake move!

Gu Zizhe dunked Hao Jingmin beautifully again. These two consecutive passing movements were very smooth, which made his confidence soar.

After this pass, the eyes are wide open, the ball has rolled to the penalty area line, and he can directly shoot with his right foot without any adjustments!
Amidst the loud shouts from the audience, Stillik and the assistants all jumped up, punching their fists and expecting Gu Zizhe to complete the goal——

Zheng Cheng's blood surged to his forehead, and he rushed out with a yell, but what made the other teammates suffocate was that he was still quite far away from the ball!
Everyone on the bench of the Chinese team became nervous. Madanilo and Gaudino stood up abruptly, and only Lippi sat firmly on the Diaoyutai amidst the exclamation.

From Ji Chengyong's advance, Lippi found that Li Liang suddenly changed his pursuit route and let go of Gao Mingzhen, who was marking him, and began to rush towards the front of the penalty area at high speed.

Lippi was annoyed that Li Liang's unauthorized actions affected the overall formation, but he immediately saw that Gu Zizhe had passed the two of them!
Gu Zizhe felt that he had become one with the ball and had enough time to observe the position of the Chinese goalkeeper Zheng Cheng. He quickly adjusted his pace and swung his right leg to shoot a slanted shot from a close angle——

Everything was perfect, and when he was about to finish swinging his legs, he suddenly felt a red figure suddenly appear beside him.

Li Liang rushed over diagonally from the right side of Gu Zizhe, stretched out his left foot and stepped on the ball accurately!
He began to turn around while pulling back the ball with his left foot, relying on his forward speed and center of gravity on Gu Zizhe——

Gu Zizhe, who had lost his kick, immediately lost his balance and fell forward in embarrassment. Before he could even react, where did the ball that was about to be kicked by him go? !

Before he fell to the ground, he finally saw the figure of the red number 17, and only then did he realize that he had been intercepted!
Gu Zizhe fell to the ground and rolled over in extreme pain, screaming and covering his right foot—he hesitated a little about where to cover it.

Everything happened so fast at this moment, Zheng Cheng, who had already rushed over, broke out in cold sweat, he felt that Li Liang stretched his legs to stop his opponent from falling!

Feng Xiao, Meng Fang, and Zhou Zhi who was chasing back all raised their hearts in their throats, and subconsciously raised their hands to indicate that this "should" be a clean steal!
Still annoyed that Gu Zizhe was too independent and Ji Chengyong, Li Tingxie on the side also raised his hand and shouted to tell the referee that the Chinese team fouled in the penalty area!

The referee, who had been closely watching the development of the situation, turned around and ran after Li Liang without hesitation, waved forward resolutely to indicate that everything was normal, and the game continued.

Stillik yelled at the referee, and Cha Du-ri and other assistant coaches also yelled. Under the warning of the fourth official, they all complained excitedly and desperately, thinking that this must be a penalty kick.

Seeing Li Liang's beautiful Hukou Duoshi took the ball and turned to move forward, the entire sports center was finally relieved, and the applauding audience began to applaud loudly again.

Mr. Zhang immediately took out a small medicine bottle and poured all the small pills into his mouth, he let out a long breath, Feng Yihan shouted nervously from the side: "Are you all right, Mr. Zhang?"

Mr. Zhang replied: "It's okay, just a little flustered."

The South Korean team is still attacking with all their strength, and in Li Liang's eyes, there are gaps everywhere!He strode forward with the ball and was close to the middle circle in a blink of an eye.

Most of the teammates didn't react. Li Liang saw that Wen Lei on the right had bent over to support his knee. Obviously, his physical strength was completely exhausted!
Wang Yong on the left is still defending Li Rong in the backcourt, and now there is only Xu Bao who has started running diagonally to the right in the frontcourt.

Gao Mingzhen chased after him desperately. Before he could stand still, Li Liang rushed over without slowing down.

Li Liang just glanced at Xu Bao's running direction again, Gao Mingzheng just reacted and saw Li Liang, who was still 5 meters away from him, swung the ball over with all his strength.

Gao Mingzhen immediately gritted his teeth and speeded up again. Li Liang took advantage of the ball that his opponent had caught up with in the moment of hesitation.

Li Liang's eyes and fake body movements made Gao Mingzhen feel a little overwhelmed. Without hesitation, Li Liang twitched his right ankle and sent the ball forward, which happened to pass between Gao Mingzhen's legs!

Gao Mingzhen desperately turned around and wanted to grab Li Liang directly, but Li Liang had already disappeared, and Gao Mingzhen lost his center of gravity and fell on his back on the turf.

Seeing that Li Liang had rushed to the front field like a broken bamboo, his teammates all reacted and began to press at full speed. The audience in the stands became even more excited and cheered and cheered through the night sky!

Even Lippi jumped up, waving his hands vigorously to signal the players to press up to meet Li Liang.

During the aggressive attack, the South Korean team only left two central defenders in the half court. At this time, Xu Bao's running has successfully driven Zhang Xianxiu away, and Hong happened to approach Li Liang nervously.

When Li Liang was sprinting forward, he had observed that Jin Jinshu and Nam Tae-hee who were closest to him were chasing back with all their strength, and the rest of the Korean players were also desperately returning to defense.

He Wei shouted excitedly: "Li Liang is still advancing, getting closer and closer to the penalty area of ​​the Korean team. It seems that he is ready to complete this attack by himself!"

Xu Yang also shouted: "Steady the ball, the teammates will be here soon!"

He can choose to protect the ball and wait for an opportunity to seek cooperation with his teammates who are gradually catching up, but he knows that passing the ball directly to Xu Bao at this time is completely an act of shirking responsibility.

Passing the ball back will undoubtedly make the teammates who catch the ball attract more violent blocking from the Koreans, posing greater risks to teammates.

Then there is only one choice left.

Don't be shy, just do it!
Kim Jin-soo and Nam Tae-hee, who are superior in speed, have already caught up with Li Liang, and Li Liang immediately began to change direction to the left.

Hong, who was overly nervous, slipped his feet and almost fell, which gave Li Liang a slight lead. He adjusted without hesitation and continued to run forward!
Jin Jinshu and Nam Tae-hee had already caught up, and Hong happened to get stuck in Li Liang's way again by virtue of his speed advantage. At this time, the ball was less than 40 meters away from the goal.

Quan Chuntai shouted: "Stop him!"

Ji Chengyong also shouted from behind: "He's going to shoot!"

This time Li Liang didn't hide his body language at all. He just stepped on his bicycle facing Hong, and the opponents knew that he must swing the shot angle.

The system did not switch to another "concentration state", and Li Liang had no time to think. At this moment, he had only one thought——

shoot!

Li Liang didn't take into account the reaction of his opponents. After the last time he used his right foot to go around the rolling ball in an extremely coordinated manner, he quickly used his left foot to pull the ball out and immediately followed up with a burst shot with his left foot!
The three South Korean opponents had formed a complete encirclement. At the moment when Jin Jinshu had already made a sliding tackle to steal the ball, Li Liangteng stood up and pumped his left leg heavily to the bottom of the ball.

Facing 3 opponents whose speed was faster than his own, facing Hong Zhenghao, who was extremely strong in frontal interception ability and superb athletic ability, Li Liang took a long shot with his left foot from the left side of the penalty area, which was close to 35 meters from the goal!
Quan Chuntai didn't dare to neglect at all, he had already moved ahead of time and stood on the small penalty area line to try to further narrow Li Liang's shooting angle. Like other teammates, he no longer doubted whether Li Liang was capable of directly attacking the goal from that exaggerated position .

Quan Chuntai only heard a muffled "bang", and was shocked to see the ball spinning from the left and flying towards him, drawing a strange arc!

He started backing away desperately, trying to get back to the goal before the ball had started to drop, because he felt that the ball would eventually turn towards the goal!
The ball has started to fall at an accelerated rate, and the flustered Quan Chuntai made a mistake in his busy schedule and tripped himself to the ground, watching the ball fall towards his gate in despair!
The members of the Chinese team have already shouted: "Go in!"!
The home team's bench, including Lippi, all stood up!
The South Korean players were all petrified on the field. Stillik opened his mouth wide and watched the ball flip and fall towards the empty goal.

The home audience were all looking forward to it, watching the ball continue to fall——

He Wei and Xue Yang jumped up from their seats again, as if they were in the scene!
Li Liang, who was brought up by the huge inertia of the shooting action that accumulated all his strength, also fell to the ground. He raised his head and saw that the ball fell from the sky into the empty goal accurately as if in slow motion!

The ball hit the goal line, jumped up and hit the net, stopped spinning, landed, and bounced until it landed firmly on the bottom of the net.

Li Liang closed his eyes tightly and clenched his fists, his mind went blank at this moment——

He felt someone yelling and falling beside him—

Soon, apart from Xu Bao, Hao Jingmin, Zhao Linpeng, and even Zheng Cheng, they all rushed over and threw themselves together. Everyone shouted excitedly and incoherently, and celebrated wildly at the halftime of the Korean team!

Hong just covered his face with his hands and bent down in pain. The huge psychological pressure finally made him unbearable.

Quan Chuntai sat on the turf with his hands crossed and his legs blankly, he couldn't understand what just happened.

Ji Chengyong, Gu Zizhe, and Chi Dongyuan all stood there blankly, speechless for a long time.

Stillik was so desperate on the sidelines that he didn't even hear Cha Du-ri shouting beside him.

Amidst the indescribably loud noises in the audience, watching the referee whistle and wave to indicate that the goal was valid, Mr. Zhang tremblingly asked Feng Yihan loudly: "Xiao Feng, am I dreaming?
In again? ! "

Seeing the score jump to 2:0 on the big screen, Feng Yihan replied tremblingly with excitement: "Mr. Zhang, this match...

We can win! "

In the 45th minute of the first half, the Chinese team led 2:0 with Li Liang's goal!
