Godfather of national football

Chapter 238 Fighting Australia ([-])
Los Angeles.

California is notoriously sunny, even in winter.Chen Gelin, who had just finished training, came indoors and turned on the TV. He thought it would be an easy game, but seeing that the Chinese team was one goal behind at the last moment of the game, Chen Gelin's heart seemed to be pulled by something.

At this time Donovan came over to watch the TV, "Chen, your team seems to be losing."

"Will not!"

"Really? Isn't a game of Asian football 90 minutes?" After speaking, Donovan pointed to the game time in the upper right corner of the TV screen.

At this time, another star of the Los Angeles Galaxy, Beckham, came over, "Landon, don't be like this, Chen really cares about his team."

Donovan has always been unhappy because Chen Gelin didn't join the US team, but since Beckham came out to speak, he smiled casually and walked away.It was already 11 o'clock in the morning in Los Angeles, and there was a 10-hour time difference between Doha and Los Angeles.

Beckham not only has superb football skills, but more importantly, he is also easy-going. He patted Chen Gelin, "Chen, a football game is not considered a loss until the last second. When I was at Manchester United, in the 1999 Champions League final, I beat Bayern in the last few seconds."

Chen Gelin smiled at Xiaobei and expressed his thanks, but at this moment he was very anxious, because Chen Gelin also understood that miracles don't happen every time.

And as a bystander, the feeling of wanting to kill a thief and being powerless is particularly uncomfortable. How Chen Gelin hopes that he is in Doha now, running on the field wearing a Chinese team jersey, or that he is the one who takes the corner kick now.

Chen Gelin looked at Lin Zhijian, and silently shouted in his heart - come on.

*****
For this corner kick, the Chinese team's arrangement is three steps.

Ji Ke and Yin Di are the two tallest people in the Chinese team. Their task is to interfere with Schwarzer's attack and pick the ball in front of him.

In the second step, Fang Suo grabbed the front point in the small penalty area, headed the ball back, and pushed the ball near the penalty spot.The last step is also the most critical step. Zhou Dun is waiting in this position to shoot towards the ball and drive the ball into the goal.

The Australian side also seemed to be trying to discover the Chinese team, and the defensive players were pushing Ji Ke and Yin Di hard.

The Chinese players did not back down either. Now it was time to fight their bodies. Lin Zhijian over there started his run-up, and the scene became quiet. Even the sound of Lin Zhijian kicking the ball could be heard clearly. The game had reached the most exciting moment.

The ball is out!
Fang Suo, who was at the front point, was pushed by the opponent, and he headed the ball smoothly. The ball hit the middle, and everything seemed to be going well, Zhou Dun, Zhou Dun!
Bresciano was fighting with Zhou Dun, and they both fell down at the same time. The Chinese players collectively raised their hands for a penalty kick, and the Australian players waved their fingers to indicate that there was no penalty kick.

But when everyone looked at the referee, the ball went in for no reason. Looking at it again, the one who kicked the ball was...

"I scored a goal?"

When Wang Dalei kicked the ball in, he was stunned. As a goalkeeper, he had never tasted the thrill of scoring in a formal game, so when he scored, he was not excited, but at a loss.

"Da Lei, you must be fooled," Ji Ke said excitedly.

Wang Dalei nodded, and then his teammates rushed towards him, and Wang Dalei, who was already stupefied, was like watching a silent movie, with pictures but no sound, and that only happened when he was extremely surprised.

******
Many people may not have seen the ball just now, but Li Guo saw it clearly. Australia had all the threatening players of the Chinese team marked to death, but there was no defense around Wang Dalei. Perhaps Australia was unwilling to waste defensive players for a player who was not a threat.

So when Zhou Dun and Bresciano grabbed the ball and the ball bounced in front of Wang Dalei, he could easily kick and shoot.

Australian players are more stunned than Wang Dalei. What is this?

The goalkeeper of the Chinese team actually scored a goal?

At this time, Osijek on the sidelines is like Zoff, the head coach of Italy in the European Cup in 2000. In the final, when Wiltord shot in the last ten seconds, Zoff said with emotion, the cooked duck flew!

For the Chinese team, Wang Dalei was still in a daze until the re-kick-off. He only remembered that his teammates were patting him on the head just now, saying that he had made a contribution.

Li Guo checked his watch, now he didn't even want to play the Australian in overtime, he had to settle the fight in 90 minutes.

Taking advantage of the chaos after Australia lost the ball, Qu Bo made continuous breakthroughs on the wing. Australia's right back Neil was basically blown away by Qu Bo.

Qu Bo made a cross, Ji Ke headed the goal, Li Guo clenched his fists, and was ready to celebrate, only to see Schwarzer lightly stretching his arms and holding the ball out of the baseline.

This is football. The passive side last second became the active side this second, and the Chinese team won another corner kick.

*****
Most of the Chinese team players did not go up this corner kick, it is not necessary.

But Australia is still waiting for the battle. At this time, an ominous picture appeared in their minds. The lore in the 1999 Champions League final at the Nou Camp was a corner kick.

Thousands of miles away in Los Angeles, Chen Gelin was already smiling. He looked at Xiaobei and said, "David, you are right!"

Beckham smiled slightly: "Maybe there will be a surprise in this corner kick."

"Thank you, if you really enter, then I will treat you to dinner today."

The Australian players were nervous, Osijek was yelling from the sidelines, and Ferguson said to the camera after the 1999 final, it's bloody football.

At this time, Osijek also wanted to say in his heart, this damn football, I am about to have a heart attack.

Lin Zhijian kicked the ball, and the Chinese team had few people in the penalty area. This time the ball was picked by Schwarzer, and Osijek breathed a sigh of relief.

Neither the Chinese team nor the Australian team created a chance to shoot. The first semi-final of this Asian Cup seems to be going into overtime.

Li Guo was looking at his watch, Osijek was looking at his watch, and the referee was looking at his watch. Finally, at the end of stoppage time, the referee blew three whistles and the game entered overtime.

The game entered overtime, and the players could not return to the player tunnel to rest, so the staff on the Chinese team's bench rushed out with a bang, laid mats on the ground, and the players lay down on them to receive a short massage.

The Chinese team has no quota for substitutions. That is to say, if a player is injured or exhausted in overtime, it can only be considered unlucky.

Li Guo doesn't know how to massage, but he can pass water to the players. At this time, there is no need to talk nonsense. Passing a bottle of water to the players and a warm look in his eyes is better than anything else.
