Ultimate Demon Sword

Chapter 345 What are you afraid of!
However, Wen Zhihao's actions subverted everyone's thinking again.

Not only was there no trace of anger on his face, but even the way he responded to the provocation was unexpected.

He actually gave Lukaku a thumbs up!
Many fans and most of the commentators thought they were blinded, rubbed their eyes, and took a closer look. Wen Zhihao's high thumb was accurately captured by the close-up, and his thumb never went down, but was always raised high.In other words, he sincerely appreciates Lukaku's goal!

Most people don't understand, so, what kind of routine is this?The opponent scored a goal, but still praised the opponent?

Is this the sympathy between heroes?
Many fans feel that this scene happened in the World Cup knockout stage, which is a life-and-death match, which is really against harmony!
He Wei pondered for a moment, and finally he could only use his own speculation, and said: "Wen Zhihao... so generous! This is probably the demeanor of a football star."

And some fans simply joked that Wen Zhihao thinks it's boring to win easily, so making it difficult for the opponent is happy to hear it.

Of course, this is just a joke.For professional players, this is absolutely not true in the World Cup.

Zheng Zhi asked with a grim expression: "Zhihao, what did you mean by that action just now? Could it be that you still hope they win?"

Looking at his serious expression, Wen Zhihao suddenly showed a treacherous smile, leaned close to Zheng Zhi's ear and said, "Brother Zhi, I know you're upset, but we can't compete with him, they really want us to do this! Since he wants to show us that he's awesome, then let's go along with him! I don't believe that when a person's mentality starts to float, he will be so fierce!"

Zheng Zhi suddenly realized, the expression on his face relaxed immediately, he patted Wen Zhihao on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "You are flattering me! I really belong to you!"

"But first of all, you, the captain, have to get back to your senses as soon as possible. We can't afford to waste them. We must get back the lead as soon as possible." Wen Zhihao kept his mind very clear at this time.

Zheng Zhi nodded, returned to the back line, first summarized the loopholes in the defense with Feng Xiaoting, and then shouted to the back line: "Don't shrink back, everyone presses up, they are all men, we must not lose momentum!"

Wen Zhihao, on the other hand, stood in the midfield and called Liang Xin, Hao Junmin and the three strikers together for a small meeting to unify their thinking: "Listen to me, we need to fight for offense now, and it is really beneficial to us to overtake as soon as possible. I need to be closer to the penalty area. Therefore, Liang Xin and the third brother (Hao Junmin) may need to share a little more with you in the midfield organization and passing tasks."

Liang Xin and Hao Junmin nodded together: "No problem."

Wen Zhihao then said to several strikers: "Everyone, have more confidence, beat him one-on-one, and shoot directly when the opportunity arises. Don't you want to be heroes? Now is the opportunity! Let's see if you can seize it like Brother Fei... oh no, Brother Gao Lin."

Wen Zhihao yelled smoothly, and inadvertently called out Gao Lin's nickname, cast a sorry look, and changed his words in time.

However, while it caused everyone to burst into laughter, the effect was also excellent.Most of the worries and other negative emotions in everyone's hearts were eliminated. Wen Zhihao's words spoke to everyone's hearts, who doesn't want to be a hero?

Especially on today's occasion, it is a real chance for everyone to become famous.The attention of today's game is absolutely unprecedented in the history of the national team.It can be said that the opportunity to become a national hero is in front of us, and it depends on who can seize it.

Lippi watched Wen Zhihao and Zheng Zhi do what he was about to do, and he was worried but also relieved. Although he is the head coach, the situation on the field is changing rapidly, and many situations are beyond his complete control. Like Wen Zhihao and Zheng Zhi, a tactical core and a spiritual leader can stabilize the morale of the army in time, and the effect will be much greater.

However, it is already quite difficult for the Chinese team to suppress the opponent from the momentum as they did at the beginning.The individual abilities of Belgian players are obviously better than those of the Chinese team. At the beginning, the Chinese team only took advantage of the opponent's slow progress to achieve the result by accident.Now, although the Chinese team is trying to start a collective pressure from the back line and regain the advantage of the scene, the opponent has the stimulation of this goal and their state is getting better.Therefore, in a short period of time, the Chinese team only showed a more active movement than before, and the threatening offensive did not increase significantly.

Wen Zhihao is very good at judging the situation. Before the situation was stalemate and the overall rhythm was not completely controlled by the Chinese team, he did not rashly presuppose the position. Not only would it not help the team's offense, but it might create a void in the midfield and allow the opponents to further seize opportunities.

Wen Zhihao would never do stupid things like shooting himself in the foot in a hurry for quick success.This is the change he has brought to himself through his experience in high-level competitions in La Liga and the Champions League.

比赛经过半个小时之后，比利时的3-4-3阵型逐渐体现出比中国队的4-3-3阵型中场多一个人的优势。维特塞尔和费莱尼主要职责就是控制球权，德布劳内和纳因戈兰则充当进攻的发起点，负责向两个边路输送传球。

Belgium's wing performance was not active before, but that was only related to their choice. After the score was tied, the Belgian team began to use the wing to attack.One is to increase possession of the ball and kill the fighting spirit of the Chinese team. On the other hand, strive to fully blossom, get the second goal as soon as possible, and grasp the dominance of the game.

The two wingers of the Belgian team are Bundesliga Wolfsburg striker Origi on the left and Chelsea winger Hazard on the right. Compared with the three opponents of the Chinese team, Brazil, the wing strength is only strong but not weak. For the relatively weak wing defense of the Chinese team, the degree of difficulty can be imagined.

Deng Hanwen's situation on the right side is slightly better. Although it is still difficult for him to keep up with Hazard's rhythm, he has a strong ability to adapt. After being passed a few times, he gradually mastered Hazard's breakthrough characteristics, and sometimes he succeeded in stealing the ball in front of Hazard.

The left side of the Chinese team is even worse. Left back Wang Shenchao faced the "black and tough" Origi.

After Origi broke through Wang Shenchao and crossed near the bottom line of the penalty area, Lukaku began to brutally bully Feng Xiaoting and Zheng Zhi again, with two people hanging on his body, but it did not affect his completion of the shot.

The only luck for the Chinese team is that Lippi sent Wang Dalei who reacted quickly in front of the goal. It happened that he was in good form today. This time, Wang Dalei fell to the ground very quickly when he shot from close range.And the second reaction was very fast, and he rushed forward to collect the ball in his arms.

The Chinese fans in the stands applauded this save. Wang Dalei's performance still conforms to the fans' consistent perception of him-when he is in good condition, he can play at the top level and contribute many wonderful tricks.

Moreover, Wang Dalei's next move was very smart, he directly hugged the ball and shrank in front of the goal, clutching his stomach and falling to the ground.It seems that he was injured, and the injury is not serious.

But through slow-motion playback, even the audience in front of the TV can feel that Lukaku's shot is not strong under the interference of the defender, and it is completely impossible to cause any substantial damage to the goalkeeper.This scene is completely performed by Wang Dalei himself.

Of course, why is it said that Wang Dalei's performance is very clever?Because he made reasonable use of the rules, the goalkeeper was injured and the game had to be suspended. Taking this opportunity, he could interrupt the rhythm of the Belgian team's continuous attack, and at the same time create time for the coaching staff and the field to communicate in a timely manner.

The Belgian commentator was very indignant: "Is Lukaku's shot very powerful? Is there any harmful action in front of the goal? None! So the goalkeeper of the Chinese team is completely acting. Although his acting skills are indeed good, this is a shameful behavior that is not needed on the football field!"

The Belgian commentator was filled with righteous indignation, but if the Chinese team is besieging Belgium now, and Courtois made such a choice, he must think that this is a completely legitimate move for the team, just like CCTV commentator He Wei.

For the two sides that are fighting on the football field, there is no fairness and justice. The so-called right or wrong is just a matter of position.

……

A few minutes later, Wang Dalei got up from the ground, seeing him alive and kicking, he knew there was nothing wrong.

And taking advantage of the period just now, Lippi has already completed the next stage of tactical strengthening through a series of gestures, summed up in one sentence: create space for Wen Zhihao.

This is the bottom-of-the-box tactic of the Chinese team, but it is also the most unsolvable tactic, because Wen Zhihao does not have a high demand for space. When all the players start to actively block the defenders for him and deliberately create space, the opponent will really have a headache.

For example, this attack after the game resumed...

Wang Dalei played the characteristics of his ultra-long throwing ball to launch an attack, crossing the opponent's striker and midfielder, with a distance of more than 50 meters, and directly found Gao Lin who was stranded in the frontcourt.Gao Lin didn't stop the ball and made a short diagonal pass. Wen Zhihao went forward at high speed on that route and got the ball smoothly.

Wen Zhihao's sprint speed is indeed the most powerful counterattack weapon of the Chinese team. Whether it is Fellaini or Witsel, the speed of fighting alone cannot keep up with Wen Zhihao. However, with the lesson of the first conceded goal, Belgium made a decisive move this time.

Wen Zhihao faced the opponent's sudden increase of force and destroyed the center of gravity during the high-speed travel. As a result, he naturally fell to the ground as the opponent wished. At the same time, the referee's whistle blew, calling a foul without any dispute.

At the same time, the Chilean referee Bascunana decisively showed Vertonghen a yellow card warning, and Vertonghen was also very interested.One is that he knew that he had destroyed an obvious offensive opportunity for the Chinese team from behind. Any referee would never condone such a foul, and there was no room for dispute with this yellow card.

The second reason is that he thinks this yellow card is worth it, and his position is the highest among the three central defenders.Just as Wen Zhihao ran past him, he struck in time. He fell to the ground at most five steps ahead of the center circle arc, at least 40 meters away from the goal.In other words, far away from the core area, he feels that even if this position is given to the Chinese team for a set kick, there will be no threat.

Hao Junmin walked towards the ball, but Wen Zhihao stopped him and discussed, "I'll come, can I?"

Hao Junmin was a little hesitant. Originally, the set kick at this position was not within the range that Lippi required to be handed over to Wen Zhihao. As long as the footwork is good, anyone can play this kick.In addition, he also wanted to try his footwork, so Wen Zhihao's request made him hesitate.

"I am sure to create surprises! Trust me once." Wen Zhihao said.

Hao Junmin finally compromised, looked at Wen Zhihao with a wry smile, and begged, "If you're really sure, then you can come. But can you give me a chance to show off next time? It's because I've been working hard to help you."

Wen Zhihao nodded: "Next time I will definitely not compete with you, I just feel that I feel right at this moment."

……

Hao Junmin backed away, and Wen Zhihao took his place in front of the ball, staring at the goal.

Perhaps this is the unique aura suppressed by top stars. Courtois is not low-level, but he is not as good as Wen Zhihao, so when Wen Zhihao looked at the goal, his heart suddenly burst out for no reason, and a sense of danger began to spread in his heart.

He Wei was still talking about how difficult it was for Wen Zhihao to hoist the ball directly to the penalty area to compete for the top. The Belgian team had more high points in the penalty area than the Chinese team.But at this time, Wen Zhihao suddenly mustered up all his strength and directly bombarded the goal.

All the commentators stopped their voices and looked at Wen Zhihao's choice in shock. It took a second for them to react and shouted loudly: "Shoot!"

Courtois saw the ball go straight to the top of his head on the left hand side, felt the speed of the ball, his pupils shrank suddenly, and almost instantly, his body jumped straight out.

However, Wen Zhihao didn't intend to give him any chance at all this time, the position was very accurate, the ball was rotated inward, and the angle was enough, and he hit a sharp drop, flicked the left post, and bounced into the goal behind Courtois.

The scene was quiet for a moment at this moment, and then the Chinese fans directly brought the momentum to the peak.All Chinese media are ecstatic.

The Belgian players looked unbelievable, while the head coach Martinez was stunned. They had been reminded by the national media before the game, and he also reminded the goalkeeper to be careful.

But unexpectedly, whatever they were afraid of, they were stabbed by Wen Zhihao in a way they were already mentally prepared for.

But the Belgian media was full of fire on their chests, and they really had the urge to shout "FUCK" in public. They felt that they had worked hard to spy before the game, but it didn't work, and the team still didn't pay enough attention to it.
