Ultimate Demon Sword

Chapter 147
When the referee blew the whistle at the end of halftime, the disappointment was written on the faces of every Chinese fan on the spot and in front of the screen. Unexpectedly, at the end of the halftime, the Chinese team would be the one behind. Moreover, the Chinese team made too many wide crosses today, and the penetration and cooperation in the middle that made everyone pleasing to the eye before was significantly reduced.It is completely different from the national football team of Kehan ​​Pingyi two months ago.

Of course, this has a lot to do with Wen Zhihao being basically restricted in halftime.With Zheng Zhi absent, there is one less person beside Wen Zhihao who can control the rhythm with him.

When commenting on the first half, He Wei pointed out the outstanding problems of the Chinese team's offensive end: "The Chinese team's midfield organization still relies too much on Wen Zhihao's running series. Once the opponent compresses his space for movement like today, the field needs a second ball to help him organize. With Zheng Zhi unable to play, who can play this role is a difficult problem for Lippi."

The Chinese team must score at least one goal against the opponent in the second half.One point away is the bottom line.Lippi showed his boldness in the half-time dugout.Directly let Guangzhou R & F's high center forward Xiao Zhi make preparations, replace Huang Bowen, add a stagnation point in the penalty area, and change the formation to 4-4-2, which is simpler and more direct.

After Syria took the lead, they basically gave up their position to attack, so at the beginning of the second half, the overall position of the Chinese team was very high.Feng Xiaoting was pressed near the arc of the middle circle. Wen Zhihao and Huang Bowen were actually responsible for the double front midfielder, organizing the attack close to the offensive line, and resolutely counterattacked immediately after losing the ball.

This six-man frontcourt oppressive siege tactic made it difficult for the Syrians to adapt for a while, especially the high center forward Xiao Zhi, who was tall and burly nailed around the opponent's penalty area. The opponent's two central defenders Saleh and Ajan were at a disadvantage in height and size, especially in the high-altitude ball competition. The combination of the two may not necessarily be able to take advantage.Wen Zhihao has been wandering around the opponent's penalty area, patiently looking for loopholes exposed by the opponent's continuous oppression.

He Wei is very satisfied with the current offensive situation of the Chinese team: "The fighting will of the West Asian team has always been an Achilles heel. The Chinese team will definitely find opportunities if they continue to play like this. Wen Zhihao has been swimming back and forth around the penalty area. His teammates should give him more balls. His finishing ability is the least doubtful."

Syrian coach Hakim also rushed to the midfielder Midani and continued to gesture. His facial expression was distorted due to too much shouting. Seeing that Wen Zhihao had such a free space to move in the second half, his palms were sweating every second. This was completely opposite to the tactics he emphasized in midfield.

However, to everyone's surprise, it was Syria itself that really changed the situation.

In the 63rd minute of the game, the Syrian midfielder Nakdali, who had just been replaced, took the ball with Zhang Linpeng's back and stretched out his feet recklessly without any threat of attack. "Reciprocity" also awarded the Chinese team an excellent penalty kick to equalize the score. Hakim on the sidelines directly covered his face and fell down. He had already greeted Nakdali's whole family in his heart.

The Chinese fans who were in surprise heard the applause clearly. After He Wei and Xu Yang released their joy briefly, they pointed at the camera and shouted: "Penalty kick! Penalty kick! This surprise is really timely. The opportunity is right in front of us. It's time to test ourselves."

Several players from the Chinese team got together immediately, and Wen Zhihao was among them.

"Who's coming?"

"Come on, Zhihao. Isn't that how training is arranged? He basically has a stable mentality like a dog. He is reliable at a time like this." Gao Lin proposed the first choice that everyone expected.

However, Wen Zhihao planned to give a favor at this time: "I think it's better to let Brother Fei come. He is a striker and a big brother. This kind of scoring opportunity should be given."

Gao Lin didn't expect that Wen Zhihao would mention his nickname at this time. Just as he was about to speak again, Wen Zhihao jumped ahead of him and said, "If you can't get in, don't blame me for calling you Brother Airplane for the rest of your life."

The referee came over to urge the kickers to step up to the penalty spot. Gao Lin could only give Wen Zhihao the middle finger in his heart, and faced the goalkeeper bravely.

"Oh? Gao Lin... Let's see if he can withstand the pressure, come on!" He Wei was a little surprised by the choice of the penalty.

The fans suddenly felt a sense of uneasiness rushing into their hearts.Can't help but start to complain about Lippi's arrangement.Why can't Wen Zhihao be trusted?
Still feel too young?
Lippi also frowned on the sidelines. This change was also not in his plan. Assistant Madaloni asked. Lippi waved his hand and looked at the court in an uneasy mood.

In the close-up, Gao Lin can be seen standing on the penalty spot, chanting words, and as the referee's whistle sounded, he started to run up, touch the ball, and shoot.

half a second later...

"The goal has been scored! It has been scored! Gao Lin!! The score has become 1:1!" He Wei let out a long sigh of relief and shouted wantonly.

Gao Lin clenched his fists and roared to celebrate breaking the national team's scoring drought.This crucial kick is enough to make him a hero after tonight, answering all doubts.

Yi Jiang was brave enough to chase the poor bandits, and with half an hour left, the game was finally back on track. Wen Zhihao still needed to lead his teammates to work hard towards victory.

No.705 minutes, Wu Xi received a header from Xiao Zhi's penalty area, turned half-turned and shoveled the goal.In less than 10 minutes, the score changed from 0:1 to 2:1, and the Chinese team took the lead!

At this moment, all the media and fans were completely excited, this is the national team with Wen Zhihao!In the eyes of foreign media, it can compete with the first-class national football team in Asia!Domineering!pride!The old fans gradually regained the passion of watching the Chinese team kill the Quartet in the top ten match in 2001.

After taking the lead, with 15 minutes left, He Wei and Xu Yang kept reminding the Chinese team to slow down their offensive rhythm and keep the fruits of victory.

Wen Zhihao didn't think so, leading by one goal was not safe.

No. 804 minutes, Wen Zhihao counterattacked with the ball. Seeing that the entire defense line of Syria did not retreat in time, everyone was fighting and retreating. He glanced at the goal, one step away from the top of the penalty area, and directly kicked the goal vigorously.

"Zhihao is going to shoot? We just said that this time we have to control..." Before He Wei finished speaking, Xu Yang immediately turned on the passionate mode: "Oh! My God! Wow! World wave! Wen Zhihao is really unconventional. The Chinese team has secured the victory!"

Xu Yang had already finished what He Wei wanted to say, but He Wei thought about it for a while and smiled: "You are bold! There may only be three players in the world who lead 2:1 with their team. At the end of the game, they chose to kill the game with a long shot instead of going to the corner flag. One is Messi, the other is Ronaldo, and the third person is born at this moment! He is Wen Zhihao!"

"As long as you can score goals, all choices are reasonable!"

After the match, the media all excerpted He Wei's commentary, and Wen Zhihao confusedly stood on an equal footing with the world's top two football champions.

……

After the match of the Chinese team, in the same group match played later, Iran defeated Uzbekistan 2:0 at home, while the South Korean team encountered Qatar's tenacious resistance in the away game and lost 2:3.

积分榜上出现了媒体和球迷最喜闻乐见的变化。中国队3胜2平3负积11分，同时反超10分的乌兹别克斯坦和9分的叙利亚，升至A组第三。No.2韩国队积13分原地踏步，领先中国队的优势只在一场球之内。

Competing for the top two qualifications in the group has become a realistic goal on the agenda of Lippi's coaching staff.

The last two games will be played at the end of August and the beginning of September. The Chinese team will face Uzbekistan at home and Qatar away.
