Reborn on Top of Football

v5 Chapter 171: Long Road (1)

With the three victories in the group stage, the videos of the Chinese Olympic Games are frequently rebroadcasted on TV, which also made the attention of this knockout match beyond the pure football circle.

August 16th is the eighth day of the Beijing Olympics. On this day, China's strong event is only women's badminton. Zhang Ning defeated teammate Xie Xingfang to win the gold medal, but both men's doubles and mixed doubles lost. Although on the total gold medal list, China significantly led the second place at 16 yuan with 27 yuan, only one gold medal was obtained this day.

On this day, Phelps won the seventh swimming gold medal in the Beijing Olympics, shocking the world. It is also on this day that Bolt, wearing Puma gold shoes, will compete in the 100-meter final. Whether he can raise the limit of mankind again and become the global focus.

It's just that his game is at ten o'clock in the evening to take care of the global audience. And Wang Ai's game was earlier than him, at 18 o'clock in the evening, and because of the good results of the Chinese men's football, CCTV temporarily adjusted the broadcast focus, or else there is a lack of important Chinese events on this day.

The Chinese men's basketball team lost to Germany 55-59 on this day, but it has also entered the quarterfinals.

Many friends are fighting in different venues and have no time to contact each other. They can only have time to chat when the Olympics are over.

That night, the Wulihe Stadium was bright and bright. Liu Jianhong and Zhang Lu, who were sitting in the live broadcast seats in advance, saw that the time was about the same and turned on the live broadcast signal. Immediately, TV viewers across the country saw the scene where both sides of the game returned to the dressing room after warming up.

The two greeted the audience. After a few brief introductions, they immediately entered the topic. Liu Jianhong said: "Director Zhang, we now have the starting roster of both sides. The Cameroon team has not changed much, but the Chinese team has By the way, I don’t understand. Mao Jianqing, Wang Yongpo, and Zhu Ting started at the same time, and Mao Jianqing and Zhu Ting made their debuts for the first time. I can’t understand Gao Hongbo’s thinking in such an important game."

Zhang Lu frowned when he received Liu Jianhong's past starting list, but said: "The head coach's idea must be based on the status quo of the team. Maybe there are some factors we don't know."

Liu Jianhong took advantage of Zhang Lu's thoughts and said to himself: "Analyzed from the previous game situation, Zhu Ting can play forwards and wingers, but tends to wing, but Mao Jianqing and Wang Yongpo tend to be forwards. Could it be this game? In the game, Gao Hongbo’s idea was to send two flexible forwards, and then withdraw Wang Ai to the position of the front midfielder to form a double midfielder with Chen Tao? But no matter what the calculation is, from the perspective of this staffing, it is a heavy attack and light defense. Ideas."

Zhang Lu quickly scanned the list, and after a simple analysis, he said: "Yes, there is no doubt that Yuan Weiwei is also the first starter and Feng Xiaoting to form double central defenders. Zheng Zhi seems to have withdrawn to the side to replace Guo Liang. This lineup The changes are indeed great, none of us expected."

When Liu Jianhong heard Zhang Lu, he didn’t even think about it, so he continued: “There are still several points from the start of the game. Let’s enjoy the wonderful goals of the previous games. Oh, Xiao Wang seems to have scored 6 Is that right? He's really steady, averaging two per game, no more, no less."

Zhang Lu chuckled, waiting for the sound of the director's switching signal to come, put down his headphones, picked up the starting roster of the Chinese team to study.

The two people studied for a long time to no avail. The only certainty is that because of the high frequency of Olympic events and short rest periods, Gao Hongbo's uncharacteristically inclined to offensive tactics this time may be due to the player's physical fitness. In other words, what Gao Hongbo wants is not only a victory in this game, but also a long-term plan to eventually reach the Bird's Nest, otherwise he would not risk such a large-scale rotation.

But when they were so adventurous, both Liu Jianhong and Zhang Lu didn't support it in their hearts, but they couldn't say it publicly on the show. What if by any chance?

Gao Hongbo's authority is constantly being consolidated with the completion of one after another exciting competition, so that the sharpest mouths Liu Jianhong and predecessor Zhang Lu have become more careful when evaluating him.

At 18 o'clock in the evening, after the opening process went through, Wang Ai and the Cameroon captain guessed the side and again guessed correctly. After giving the kick-off to the opponent, the two sides lined up and looked forward to the start of the game. With a whistle, Wang Ai rushed to the opponent's half first. Mao Jianqing decisively retreated after entangled with the opponent's forward for a few seconds and handed it over to Wang Yongpo, Chen Tao and others for entanglement, and did not proceed step by step until the formation of the two sides opened.

Liu Jianhong and Zhang Lu continued to explain the situation on the field, but frowned, because they clearly saw Wang Ai running to the front of the Chinese team formation. This is definitely not a midfielder. Then he is a forward. Is it his partner Mao Jianqing?

Of course, it’s not impossible for them to work together. After all, they used to work together when they were a junior in 86, but what happened to Wang Yongpo? His position is also very high!

Before the two of them can figure it out, a goal has already been scored.

In the 2nd minute of the opening, the left Wei Hao Junmin and the left forward Mao Jianqing interspersed and cooperated several times. After Mao Jianqing got rid of the defense on the frontcourt, he returned to the center Chen Tao. Chen Tao rubbed the ball with his right foot toward the goal and the football rotated. Rushed towards the goal.

The ball is very high. If there is no interference, it may eventually fly within the goal line, which looks like a lob. But the problem is that the opposing goalkeeper has not left the goal range, but is waiting. At the same time, because Chen Tao's position is close to the right, the ball also means a pass.

In short, because the landing point is too close to the goal, it is a bit different.

And this "four dissimilarity" also produced another effect, that is, its landing point is not only within the goalkeeper's control range, but also within the range of the central defender, so that two people want to control, the goalkeeper does not mean to give way to the central defender. Only temporarily stopped.

Just as Alexander Song on Cameroon No. 5, when he raised his head to catch the ball, Wang Ai rushed in with extremely ghostly footsteps. Without the ball, he avoided Mbia’s nuisance, so that Alexander Song noticed it in his vision. It's too late when I think of jumping again.

When Alexander Song was more than one meter away, Wang Ai jumped up. The strong thigh muscles, calf muscles and the tendons under the protection of his distinctive white knee pads together gave birth to a huge explosive force. In a grass-green jersey, the figure in the red jersey rose up as if in slow motion, volleying in the middle of Chen Tao's football drop line.

At this moment, Alexander Song had just jumped up, and the red shadow in front of him could only see the other's abdomen!

There was a muffled noise above the head, and the stands were full of noise. There was no time to turn back. The referee in front had already made a long whistle, pointing to the middle circle.
