Ultimate Demon Sword

Chapter 255 Leading
Liu Ruofan showed the unafraid of tigers as a newborn calf. Even in the face of Changyou Yudu who quickly defended from the side, he could not stop him from continuing to move forward.The resoluteness shown in an instant made the experienced Inter Milan full-back a little unexpected. From the outside, Liu Ruofan still had the immatureness of a teenager, unlike Wen Zhihao, who appeared mature on the surface because of his rich experience.

Nagatomo Yudo thought that as long as he raised his aura and showed enough determination, the young man in front of him would definitely become hesitant. No matter how talented a player is, this is a normal psychological phenomenon.

It is precisely because Nagatomo Yudu has rich experience that he made a typical empiricist mistake at this time.Liu Ruofan didn't even change direction or make a fake move at all. He took two big strides forward simply and rudely, relying on the advantage of speed to make a strong charge. When Nagatomosuke came back to his senses and wanted to turn around to make up for it, Liu Ruofan had already cut inward to the inside of the penalty area, and another central defender, Morishashige, could only follow closely.

At this time, the Chinese team still has a local advantage in numbers, and Liu Ruofan, who is holding the ball at a 45-degree angle in the penalty area, has countless choices.A cross-cut shot, a cross from the kick, and Wen Zhihao who followed up with a cross to the top of the penalty area can all pose a fatal threat.

This kind of time is a test of a player's golf quotient and psychological quality.Faced with such an opportunity, most young players only have the goal in their eyes.But the reason why Liu Ruofan is better than most domestic players of the same age is that he has more calmness. He still remembers a sentence repeatedly emphasized by Lippi in the training sessions of the past few days: highlight the core at critical moments.

Liu Ruofan's next choice was logical, but it was beyond the expectations of the defensive players.Neither he shot from a small angle, nor passed to his teammates who outflanked the goal.Liu Ruofan dunked the ball to the outside, and the outside instep took advantage of the momentum to create a small arc and passed it to the top of the penalty area in the middle.There was only Wen Zhihao in that area, and the only man marking him was a player from the Japanese team.

No one expected that Liu Ruofan would make such a choice. When he really passed the ball, everyone suddenly realized.

Great idea!

After a long-distance sprint, you can still maintain such a keen insight, and accurately find the core players on the field to solve the problem...

Not knowing Lippi's special explanation, the fans naturally thought that this was Liu Ruofan's own choice.

But to be fair, Liu Ruofan's tactical literacy is not low in being able to remember the coach's arrangements in a high-intensity confrontation.

There were also two different tastes in Wen Zhihao's eyes, he gave a big thumbs up in his heart, and lightly slammed the Japanese player in the opposite direction to shake away the Japanese player in front of him. From the corner of his eye, he glanced at the goalkeeper Eiji Kawashima's position, and slashed with his foot on the ground with extremely fast speed, from the gap between the legs of the players on both sides, and went straight to the goal.

Eiji Kawashima's expression changed drastically. What the goalkeeper dislikes the most is that many players gather in front of the goal to block his sight. He can only rely on Wen Zhihao's little memory of the moment when he shoots the goal and his rich experience, stretch his body as much as possible and rush to the lower corner of the goal on the right.

Eiji Kawashima tried his best, but he was not as good as the sky. The ball rubbed against Maya Yoshida's thigh on the way and changed direction, which he couldn't count no matter what.However, he still made a final effort, stretching his legs hoping to block the ball.

But as a Japanese, his legs are still a bit shorter...

The moment the ball rolled into the goal, the Nanning Olympic Sports Center, as well as the fans watching the live broadcast through TV and Internet channels, all clenched their hands into fists, trying their best to vent their suppressed emotions for most of the game.

"I wiped it, I got in! Haha, the national football team is amazing!"

"Although this goal was scored by Zhihao, I would like to make an exception and give Liu Ruofan a thumbs up. The shot that broke through the long friend was so handsome. A newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, young people should have this kind of confidence."

The whole process of CCTV's goal replay showed the whole process. Liu Ruofan's two steps past Nagatomo Yuto were slowed back and forth, reminding some non-senior football fans who started to get in touch with football because of entering the World Cup to pay attention to Liu Ruofan, he is the source of the goal.

All the players of the Chinese team ran to the middle circle to celebrate. Wen Zhihao strangled Liu Ruofan's neck with both hands from behind, and shouted excitedly: "Haha! You are so handsome, you can be more awesome!"

"Take it easy, Zhihao! You're going to die...cough cough." Liu Ruofan originally wanted to respond jokingly, but when Wen Zhihao choked his neck too hard, he was almost out of breath.

The Chinese team was full of jubilation, while on the opposite side of the Japanese team, every player's face was either disbelieving or gloomy.Nagatomo bowed his head to reflect on how he was easily passed by someone, while Eiji Kawashima lashed out at "Baga", a Japanese phrase familiar even to Chinese audiences. Yoshida Asaya lowered his head and dared not reply because his unintentional mistake had cheated the goalkeeper.

Harry Hodzic raised his hands high, the atmosphere was too enthusiastic, and he couldn't hear what he was complaining about, but it was certain that he was very angry now, and many players of the Japanese team stood up to warm up at the same time.There is still more than half an hour in the game. In fact, he will not make major adjustments to the current lineup after falling behind by one goal, but urges the players on the field through such actions.If there is even the slightest slack or carelessness, come down for me!

This is a very risky stimulation. Some players will carry heavier psychological burdens and cannot perform at their normal level, but Harry Hodzic is very confident. With his understanding of the team and the Japanese national character, proper stimulation is more conducive to them turning pressure into motivation.

This team, like this country, has a hyper obsession with beating its opponents.Harry Hodzic is trying to inspire Japan's four-time Asian Cup champion under adversity.

In the World Cup in Russia a few months later, the goal of the Japanese team is different from that of the Chinese team. They are divided into Group H and there is no super strong team.In the face of European and American teams, the situation of falling behind must be inevitable. From this perspective, the current problem given by the Chinese team is exactly in line with Harry Hodzic's wishes.

The score was behind, and the Japanese team obviously seemed to speed up the offensive rhythm, but it was more haste than waste.Based on the overall situation, this team lacks a sudden fatal blow. Keisuke Honda is hardly at his peak. The Japanese team lacks individuals like Wen Zhihao and Liu Ruofan who have absolute super strength and can suddenly change the situation of the game.

The Chinese team is now more affordable, and the pressing intensity is still increasing. It only needs to keep the Japanese team's pass control away from the penalty area, and do not give vertical direct passes. Cross passes and return passes cannot pose a threat at all.

No.705 minutes, Lippi made a second substitution.He Chao, the young midfielder of Changchun Yatai in the Chinese Super League, came on and replaced Yin Hongbo.

He Chao, like Liu Ruofan, participated in the U23 Asian Cup at the beginning of the year and was also the captain.His characteristics are similar to Liang Xin's. He is resolute and decisive in midfield interception, has a strong sense of position and the ability to make defensive moves before the opponent.In the U23 Asian Cup, he and Liu Ruofan played one offense and one defense in the midfield, which was an important cornerstone for the team to reach the semi-finals.

With He Chao on the field, the national team's lineup has been further rejuvenated. Less than three months before the World Cup, Lippi is still using a large number of young people, which seems to be sending some signals!
Experts can certainly sense it, but they just don't believe that Lippi can really have such guts.
