Ultimate Demon Sword

Chapter 31 Sadness on the Twelve Yard Line
After a 15-minute intermission, the second half began.Cannavaro made extensive adjustments to the team.In midfield, in the first half, Huang Bowen, who was in charge of the defensive midfielder, appeared in the position of the right midfielder. The Brazilian Rene Junior partnered with Zheng Zhi to play the double defensive midfielder.

In fact, Cannavaro's new definition of Wen Zhihao is a free player in the frontcourt, allowing him to intersperse in a wide range at will according to the situation on the field, and giving Wen Zhihao unlimited firepower.Cannavaro's purpose is very clear, which is to stimulate Wen Zhihao's maximum attack power.During his time at Inter Milan, most of Wen Zhihao's goals came from his interspersed moves after appearing in the middle.

This change proves Cannavaro's superb golf intelligence as the World Footballer.After Wen Zhihao came to the middle, Evergrande's offensive rhythm accelerated significantly.The Luneng players intend to continue the strategy of "cutting down big trees" in the first half, using fierce fouls to block Wen Zhihao.But if you suffer, you will gain wisdom. Wen Zhihao, who has long been aware of the opponent's intentions, obviously speeds up the pace of the ball. Often the ball only stays at his feet for a second before quickly passing it to his teammates, and then continues to run to catch up.

Wen Zhihao's physical fitness is at the top in the Serie A U15 league. When he returns to the Chinese Super League, although it is a first-team confrontation, the pace of the game is not fast.Just 10 minutes into the second half, Wen Zhihao ran out of Luneng's defensive line in the midfield, and only Uso, who was physically fit, was gritting his teeth.

CCTV live commentator He Wei said: "In the second half, Wen Zhihao gradually showed his role. Although he is not yet 15 years old, his physical fitness and decisive maturity in handling the ball are beyond the reach of other local players in his 30s and [-]s. He plays the ball quickly, judges accurately, passes accurately, and has excellent physical fitness. All of these meet the conditions of a star player. I can boldly predict to the fans in front of the TV that China and the AFC Champions League are by no means the end of Zhihao. His future must belong to Europe!"

The Evergrande fans and Wen Zhihao's "warm fans" felt relieved when they heard this, but the "Lumi" fell into conflicts in their hearts.On the one hand they want their home team to have the upper hand and score goals.On the other hand, as a Chinese fan, everyone is happy to see a talent like Wen Zhihao emerge among the local players.Luneng fans found their loyalty tested enormously.

As time passed by, Wen Zhihao was still running tirelessly like a perpetual motion machine, but the Luneng players were already too tired to run, and even Evergrande's teammates couldn't keep up with Wen Zhihao's offensive rhythm.Seeing that the game had passed 75 minutes, Cannavaro quickly signaled Wen Zhihao to slow down a little to give his teammates some time to breathe.

However, Wen Zhihao didn't think so. Now that the opponent was clearly at the end of his battle, he slowed down the pace at this time. Although it gave his teammates room to rest, it also gave the opponent a chance to breathe. At this moment, Wen Zhihao wanted to take down the opponent in one go.

Take advantage of his illness and kill him!
Taking advantage of the gap of a throw-in, Wen Zhihao exchanged ideas with his big brother Zheng Zhi. Zheng Zhi had a very good impression of this new little brother who joined the team. Not to mention his strength, he was also very humble.He immediately agreed with Wen Zhihao's idea.

So at the end of the game, Wen Zhihao, who received strong support from his teammates, gave full play to his abilities, and he, who rarely showed his personal skills throughout the game, finally had room to display them. No. In the 805th minute, Wen Zhihao used his center of gravity to deceive the midfielder Uso at the top of the arc in the penalty area, and then slid the ball on the inside of the instep of his right foot, laying the ball into the penalty area.The defensive players on Luneng's side were all trying their best to mark Wen Zhihao's long shot, but Wen Zhihao led the ball to the opposite direction of their center of gravity.The Luneng players who had suffered a serious decline in physical fitness could only watch helplessly as Wen Zhihao entered the penalty area from beside them.It's a pity that God didn't help, Wen Zhihao faced the goalkeeper Wang Dalei, and hit the left post with a light kick!There was an exclamation in the stands, and the Evergrande fans looked regretful.

Two minutes later, Wen Zhihao made a comeback.He used his speed to kill the two defenders of Luneng and entered the penalty area single-handedly. However, the last push hit Wang Dalei's fingertips, and he flicked the right post again, which unfortunately slipped out of the baseline.

After missing two must-kill goals in a row, Wen Zhihao hammered the goal of the Huanglong Sports Center in frustration, blaming the post for not helping.Shaking his head back to his position, he continued to play.

The commentator of Shandong Sports Station pointed out the problems of the home team very seriously: "In the final stage of the game, Luneng made big mistakes in succession. How can a player like Wen Zhihao who can end the game with his own ability allow him to get such a comfortable space to hold the ball and shoot? This is a mistake of principle!"

The commentator of Guangdong Sports praised Wen Zhihao's performance at the big heart level in the final stage, saying that if it was not for bad luck, Evergrande would have completely killed the suspense of the game.

But there is no if in the game.With the whistle of the referee, the score is still fixed at 0:0. According to the rules of the game, the two sides will directly enter a brutal penalty shootout.

Wen Zhihao, who experienced a penalty shootout for the first time in his career, was a little nervous. He kept drinking water and taking deep breaths to relieve the pressure on his body.CCTV commentator He Wei said factually: "Huh? Wen Zhihao seems to be a little nervous. Indeed, in the face of the cruel [-]-yard penalty, few people can truly calm their hearts like water. In the long history of football development, countless heroes fell on the penalty spot, but could not climb to the top and touch the glory. Penalty shootouts are more of a competition of psychological quality. Will Cannavaro let the young Wen Zhihao stand on the [-]-yard point?"

Wen Zhihao glanced at Cannavaro on the coach's bench, and asked himself if he wanted to stand on the penalty spot. Cannavaro just smiled back, nodded and clapped his palms lightly. At this moment, the top player who was once famous all over the world put a lot of trust in a hopeful star who is under 15 years old!

Wen Zhihao was arranged to play in the second round, and the Luneng fans at the scene immediately booed him loudly, hoping to affect Wen Zhihao's mental state. He Wei raised his voice at this time: "Wen Zhihao, who is less than 15 years old, can withstand the pressure and score this penalty kick?...Wen Zhihao! Run up! Hit the goal!"

Half a second later, exclamations and surprise celebrations were intertwined throughout the stadium.

He Wei yelled in disbelief: "Oh my God! Wen Zhihao, who was almost at the MVP level in the second half, actually fired an anti-aircraft gun in the most crucial penalty shootout!"

After missing the crucial penalty kick, Wen Zhihao directly covered his face and fell on the lawn.He knew exactly what his kick meant.

The ending hasn't changed.Seeing his opponent cheering and celebrating the victory, Wen Zhihao crouched on the ground, tears pouring down his face. He is a person who hates failure very much. The championship trophy that is close at hand, along with the ball rising into the sky, said goodbye to himself ruthlessly.

The ambitious five-time champion rhetoric before the game was kicked to pieces by himself!
