Godfather of national football

Chapter 235 Battle in Australia ([-])
At 30 minutes into the game, the Chinese team made a substitution, and Chen Deng replaced Li Weifeng.

It may be because it was too sudden. The live broadcast didn't know the name of the Chinese team's No. 22 for a while, so they could only call him "Chen".

CCTV's commentary at the scene was also very surprised, "Is Li Weifeng injured?"

Because it is rare to replace the captain 30 minutes in the first half of a football game, unless it is due to an injury.

The moment Datou saw the substitution card, he was taken aback for a moment, then immediately took off his captain's armband, and ran over to put it on for Zhou Dun.

When Li Weifeng ran off the court, the Chinese fans on the scene were shouting, and the big head waved at the Chinese fans, and then ran straight to Chen Deng.

"give it to you!"

"Don't worry, captain, I will overthrow them."

Li Weifeng smiled heartily, remembering that Chen Deng's confrontation ability was really awesome during the team confrontation.

After high-fiving Li Weifeng, Chen Deng quickly ran onto the court.

*****
For Chen Deng's sudden appearance, the Australian side basically did not have any preparations, because before the game they expected that the Chinese team's midfielders would be Shao Jiayi, Hao Junmin, Qu Bo and others. As for Chen Deng, the Australian players basically had no impression, and they didn't even know which club he played in.

With the ball in hand, Australia played more confidently. Jedinak took control of the ball when he got the ball in midfield, ready to send a comfortable assist.

But just as the Australian Titans turned around to pass the ball, a red slider came from the opposite side. Soon, Jedinak was covering his ankle and rolling all over the lawn.

The game was not suspended, and the referee signaled that the Chinese team did not foul.The ball reached Zheng Zhi's feet, and the Chinese team's No. 10 went straight into the penalty area. Ji Ke took a shot under the defense of the tall Australian defender, and the ball slid out of the goal.

After the fast break of the Chinese team was completed, the referee came to check Jedinak's injury. The Australian players were very dissatisfied. They surrounded the referee, and Kewell took the lead.

"The number 22 deserves a red card!"

"Red card!"

The referee saw very clearly just now that Jedinak himself moved too slowly, and Chen Deng got the ball first. Although the movement of the sliding tackle was great, it was not a foul.

At this time, a stretcher entered the field and separated the Australian players. It seemed that Jedinak was seriously injured.

After the stretcher carried Jedinak out of the field, the Australian players were still reluctant, but the referee ignored it and gave Australia's No. 14 Holman a yellow card to make an example of others, and forcibly dispersed the Australian protesting players.

Jedinak, who was off the court, returned to the court after a simple treatment. It seems to be a flawed injury and nothing serious.But Jedinak can be regarded as keeping Chen Deng of the Chinese team in his heart.

"Good boy, I almost abolished me, you wait."

*****
In modern football, the players are very smart. It is impossible for them to be stupid enough to take revenge on their opponents. Usually, it is teammates who help you out.

After Chen Deng came on the field, the double midfielders of the Chinese team were like two iron gates, consolidating the Chinese team's defense in the middle.

The Australian players did not expect that Chen Deng's ability to run back and forth is so strong that he can cover half of the court by himself.

"Isn't this guy just a soy sauce player in the Chinese team?" Osijek thought, but it was too late to get Chen Deng's detailed information and game video.

Chen Deng performed very well, but the more this happened, the more upset the Australian players felt, especially Jedinak, whose ankle was still hurting at this time, which was all given by Chen Deng.

Unknowingly, Chen Deng was being watched by someone, that is Holman from the Australian team. He came out from a diagonal stab and shoveled from Chen Deng's side and rear. This action was very dangerous.

The side tackle is the worst in football because the players don't know it and there is no shin guard protecting it.

Some serious injuries in world football are mostly caused by side tackles. For example, Manchester United's Keane kicked Manchester City's Harland from the side and back, which directly led to the latter's retirement.

But today, Holman has met his opponent. After the game, he will definitely regret everything he has done, lamenting that he is really unlucky.

Chen Deng didn't dodge, but took advantage of the situation and sat down on Holman's tackle leg. The weight of a professional player was on his leg. The consequences can be imagined.

Holman and Chen Deng fell to the ground and rolled at the same time, but Chen Deng was pretending, while Holman was real.

After the team doctor came up for a simple inspection, he gestured to the head coach to ask for a substitution. This time it was really injured.

Perhaps it was because of Holman's painful look that even the referee forgot to give him a yellow card and send him off.

Australia made a substitution, No. 7 Emerton who played for Blackburn replaced Holman, and Chen Deng returned to the court after a simple "treatment".

In fact, it was tacit among the players that the Australian players wanted to teach Chen Deng a lesson, but they were just dumb and ate Coptis chinensis.

Li Guo saw the scene just now clearly, he didn't expect the usually honest Chen Deng to be so cunning.

But this is not bad, but the wisdom of survival on the court. Li Guo remembers watching a football night in his previous life. An old international footballer who had participated in the Jianlibao program said that in Brazil, he not only learned how to play football, but also learned many off-the-ball moves on the court.

For example, how to irritate opponents, how to protect oneself, and in the later football career, these off-the-box tricks are actually very important.

For example, Harland, who was deposed by Keane, is pitiful, but what is the use?It can only be that I am unlucky.

If the Australian players wanted to teach Chen Deng a lesson just now, they no longer have such naive thoughts. Obviously, Chen Deng has learned enough.

There was not much time left in the first half. Australia stabilized the midfield and hoped to return to the locker room with a 1-0 advantage.

The Chinese team still launched a few quick breakthroughs from the wing, but facing Australia's defense, neither the left nor the right could completely break through and make a comfortable cross, so several forced low crosses were outrageously high, and Ji Ke couldn't get them at all.

In this way, after several failed attempts, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half, and the players of both sides returned to the player tunnel.

Jedinak glared at Chen Deng in the player tunnel, but Chen Deng ignored him. Obviously, the confrontation between the two sides will continue in the second half.

Li returned to the locker room too early. He was basically satisfied with the first half. It was a bit regretful that the goal was conceded, but the Chinese team had to make changes in the second half.
