Godfather of national football

Chapter 285 The process is more important than the result

After the kick-off, Tahiti quickly lost the ball under pressure. Although the 4 midfielders of the Chinese team are not the main force, the pressure on Tahiti is still very strong.

After the opening 35 seconds, the Chinese team's first goal came. Zheng Zhi intercepted the ball and passed it to Hao Junmin, who gave Chen Gelin a straight kick.

Chen Gelin made a false shot in the penalty area and knocked down a Tahitian defender, then Chen Gelin shot into the far corner of the goal.

Roche stretched his foot enough, did not touch the ball, the ball scored!
The Chinese team led 1-0.

The first goal made the players of the Chinese team very excited, especially when it came so early. The players ran over to celebrate each other with high fives, and the players on the bench also gave a standing ovation to congratulate their teammates on the field.

Tahiti also knew that the goal should be conceded within 10 minutes of the opening, but they didn't expect it to come so early.

In the last game, Tahiti faced Italy. The opponent's style of play was relatively stable, but the Chinese team was not. The characteristic of the Chinese team is that it is fast, so Tahiti suffered a sap at the beginning.

******
After the re-kick-off, Tahiti was honest, and 11 of the 10 players shrank in their penalty area.

The game turned into a half-court offense and defense. The ball flew into the Tahiti penalty area and flew out after a while, but after N times, the situation changed. No. 13 Chen Xiu of the Tahiti team took the ball in his own half.

Hao Junmin posted it, and Chen Xiu didn't lose the ball, instead, he took the ball and wiped it past Hao Junmin.

Li Guo still knows Chen Xiu very well. This kid’s speed is really fast. I remember that in the Confederations Cup in the previous life, Tahiti played against Spain. Although Tahiti lost 0-10 in the end, Tahiti still had a bright spot. After Chen Xiu passed Javi Martinez, he ran 40 meters to get a free kick in front of the Spanish penalty area.

After passing Hao Junmin, there is a large open field in front of Chen Xiu. The Chinese team's 442 today is a parallel position without protection, so after Chen Xiu passed Hao Junmin, the Chinese team's defense line is in front.

Seeing Chen Xiu from Tahiti run wildly with the ball, all the Brazilians started shouting and cheering, "Go one, go one."

Chen Xiu kept running. After sprinting for nearly 40 meters without oxygen, Chen Xiu met Li Weifeng. He observed Chen Xiu's footsteps.

But at the last moment, Chen Xiu didn't know where the strength came from, and she accelerated twice. In this way, to Li Weifeng's surprise, after a few steps, he entered the penalty area.

After Chen Xiu finished shooting, the audience burst into thunderous applause. The Brazilians didn't know Chen Xiu, so they could only call his number.

"Good job, number 13, good job, number 13."

*****
But this was the only chance Tahiti got in the first half, because after Zheng Zhi realized that the Chinese team lacked deep protection in the midfield, he immediately retreated to become a defensive midfielder.

At the end of the first half, the Chinese team led 3-0, and Chen Gelin scored a hat-trick.

During the intermission, the Tahitian players asked the Chinese players to exchange jerseys. Chen Xiu and Chen Gelin exchanged jerseys, which made Ji Ke quite unhappy. Chen Gelin was indeed ahead of himself too much.

But Atani found Ji Ke and exchanged jerseys. Atani saw Ji Ke's expression and understood, and said with a smile: "That number 11 is better than you."

"Well, but I won't admit defeat."

"As a friend, maybe I shouldn't say that, but I still have to say, Ji Ke, I wish you no goals in this game, preferably not even a shot."

Ji Ke chuckled, "Even if you let Celine be my girlfriend, I still want to score goals, and I want to perform a hat-trick."

*****
In the second half, Tahiti changed and became 442, the same as the Chinese team. I don’t know why, maybe the fans are too enthusiastic, or since they are powerless to resist, then enjoy it?
Because the gap in strength was too great, not only did Tahiti not get any chances after putting up an offensive formation, but more loopholes in the defense were exposed.

In the 55th minute of the second half, Ji Ke finally scored a goal. It was his best header. Zheng Zhi passed it to him, and it was delivered comfortably to his head. In the absence of defense, Ji Ke only needed to point the ball in the right direction.

4 to 0.

After conceding the goal, the head coach of Tahiti made an even crazier move, changing three players in a row. Tahiti's next opponent is Brazil. Maybe they hope to score at least one goal in the Confederations Cup.

In the 60th minute of the second half, the Chinese team won a free kick, and Liao Lisheng scored again with a round moon machete. This is his second consecutive free kick for the Chinese team.

The score became 5-0.

In the 70th minute, Chen Gelin broke through with the ball himself, and scored after passing two people in a row, 6-0.

In the last 85 minutes, Ji Ke grabbed a point in the penalty area and scored another goal, making the score 7-0.

When the score became 7-0, the naturally optimistic Tahitian players also bowed down. They saw the gap between themselves and the world's top teams. In the two games, they conceded 13 goals, scored 0 goals, and shot very few goals.

After 7-0, the Chinese team did not pour salt into Tahiti's wounds. The final score was 7-0, and the Chinese team won a hearty victory.

But it was Tahiti who received more applause after the game. It is a miracle that this small country with a population of 20 can make it to the Confederations Cup stage.

"Tahiti!"

"Tahiti!"

"Tahiti!"

Under the cheers of the audience, the Tahitian players still shed tears. This is the first time they have appeared in an international competition, and the next time may have to wait a long, long time.

Li Guo also walked into the stadium and applauded for Tahiti. Players from both sides, regardless of each other, formed a big circle with 22 people plus the coach.

After the game, everyone quickly forgot about 7-0 and Chen Gelin's big four. This is just an ordinary game.

After a short celebration, the players from both sides will leave Rio, Tahiti will go to another city, and the Chinese team led by Li Guo will also fly to Recife, which is a strange city, and the Chinese team players have never heard of this city on TV before.

When leaving Rio, the fans booed and cursed, and when the plane landed in Recife, the Brazilians still booed.

Li Guo was wearing sunglasses and compared a big thumb to the person who booed him, meaning that booing is better, which is of course provocative.

At least Romario is right about one thing, that is, if the explanation is useless, then just continue to provoke, no one is afraid of anyone!
