Yonezawa Masao picked up the ball in the frontcourt. In front of him, the Japanese team's two forwards were moving into the Chinese team's penalty area. In front of Masato Hirokawa was Wang Guangwei, and next to Ito Nu was Yao Huasheng.
Seeing this scene, Masao Yonezawa passed the football to Tsutomu Ito without hesitation.
This was specifically explained to them by head coach Hiroto Motegi during the halftime break, asking them to focus on the area where Yao Huasheng was when attacking in the second half.
Just hit the captain of the Chinese team who was injured and not in the best condition!
When Yao Huasheng saw Itonu catching the ball, he lowered his center of gravity and made all preparations for defense. But he could still feel the discomfort coming from his right shoulder, which affected his activities.
This made his movements less free than before the injury.
Because of the closed analgesic injection, the pain was not painful, but after all, a piece of pain was removed from his shoulder, which would still affect his movements to some extent.
Some people think that football players kick the ball with their feet, so how much impact can upper limb injuries have?
But the movement of the human body is a whole. When your feet exert force, your arms must assist in exerting force and maintaining balance. Otherwise, if you let a person without arms just run, see if he can still maintain balance well?
If the upper limb is injured, especially the key shoulder injury, it will have a great impact on the player's actions during the game.
In fact, Yao Huasheng knew the dangers of sealing. After all, it only provided short-term pain relief and anti-inflammatory, and did not completely solve the problem of joint dislocation and ligament tear. Therefore, every time he moved his right shoulder, it was equivalent to aggravating the injury there.
Who knows what the inside of his right shoulder will look like after this game.
But Yao Huasheng couldn't care about this, and he was not qualified to think about his right shoulder.
He gritted his teeth and stared at Itonu.
The forward who plays for the Bundesliga team Almen has five goals in the Bundesliga. This number of goals pales in comparison to Hu Lai, but except for Hu Lai, no one in the Chinese team can match
Compared to.
In other words, being able to score five goals in half a Bundesliga season can be regarded as an Asian-level forward. In fact, before Hu Lai, the 28-year-old Itonu has always been considered the most promising player.
The player who may take over the honorary title of "Light of Asia" from Park Soon-tae.
It is worth mentioning that, like Hulay, Itonu is a talented player who came out of campus football. He relied on his outstanding performance in the Japanese high school football competition to win the top scorer for two consecutive years and entered professional football.
of.
When he debuted, Itonu was fast and had good skills with his feet. Unfortunately, he suffered a serious injury when he was 25 years old and was away from the court for a year. This injury caused his speed to decrease, but he is changing his football.
After improving his style, he honed his shooting skills to become more and more mature.
He is only 28 years old and has already scored 30 goals for the Japanese national team. He ranks fifth in the history of the Japanese national team and second in the active Japanese national team.
The best solution above the ball.
Yao Huasheng has also played against this famous Japanese football genius in the national team. Even if he is healthy, he is still a very difficult opponent to deal with.
Now he didn't dare to show any signs of neglect.
Facing Yao Huasheng, Itonu didn't dribble too much, he just shot with his feet!
Yao Huasheng concentrated his attention and stretched out his foot to block the shot.
It turned out that Itonu's move was just a fake move. He swung his right foot down instead of kicking the ball, but instead dunked the football to the left!
Then he cut across the body and headed towards the middle!
Yao Huasheng turned around quickly, but the discomfort caused by his right shoulder still made his turn a little slower and he couldn't keep up in time.
Although Wang Guangwei decisively dropped Masato Hirokawa and pounced on Ito, the latter still swung his leg and shot after just completing the cut!
How can a striker who can score five goals in half a season in the Bundesliga be incompetent?
Ito Tsumugi's kick did not exert full force, but the victory came from suddenness!
All the Chinese team players were caught off guard.
Wang Guangwei didn't have time to block the ball, and goalkeeper Hao De's side attack was a little slower.
The football bounced on the turf and went straight into the blind corner!
"Ito... Ito! Ito Tsutomu!!" the Japanese commentator jumped up excitedly from his seat, raised his arms and shouted. "Ito Nu's goal brought the Japanese team back a goal!! The second half has just begun... seven minutes
!Well done! Tsutomu Ito!! Well done to the Japanese team!!”
He was particularly excited because he was really beaten badly by the Chinese team in the first half, so he was holding back his anger.
This goal finally allowed him to vent the anger in his heart.
Not just him, but also the Japanese fans in the stands.
In the TV broadcast footage, they rushed forward crazily and cheered, also venting their emotions.
After scoring the goal, Itonu also celebrated ecstatically. He ran towards the Japanese fans and waved his fists at them, responding to the fans' enthusiasm.
But behind him, in front of the Chinese team's penalty area, there was a mess.
Hao De was still lying on the ground, turning his head to look at the football in the goal in pain and helplessness.
Wang Guangwei maintained a half-kneeling posture - when Itonu shot, although he had not reached the position yet, he still stretched out his legs to block. The result was naturally to no avail, and his posture of stretching his legs to block was fixed as kneeling on one knee...
…
Others also raised their arms and hugged their heads, all feeling regret and pain for losing the ball.
He Feng in the commentary box said in a very regretful tone: "The Chinese team... still lost the ball... Of course, when facing a team like Japan, it is normal to lose the ball. And we are still in the lead... but very soon.
It’s obvious that the momentum of the Japanese team has risen, this is not just a conceded goal, it is the clarion call for the Japanese team to counterattack!”
He felt a little bitter inside, but he couldn't complain about the poor performance of the Chinese team players.
In fact, the performance of the Chinese team players in this game was outstanding enough. This goal conceded was different from those conceded in the group stage. You cannot blame the Chinese team players for not doing a good job.
Yao Huasheng played injured. Who could have the heart to blame him for letting Itonu go despite his efforts?
After all, the person who may suffer the most when facing this conceded goal is Yao Huasheng himself.
The TV broadcast seemed to know this and quickly cut to Yao Huasheng.
But what surprised He Feng and the fans in front of the TV was that Yao Huasheng in the camera did not hang his head down or look up to the sky and sigh.
He was slapping his hands hard and shouting something to his teammates.
※※※
"Don't be discouraged! Don't be discouraged!!"
Yao Huasheng shouted and clapped his hands at the same time.
"Think of the World Cup! Brothers, think of the World Cup!"
Hearing his shouts, the Chinese players who were originally disappointed and pained by losing the ball turned their attention to him.
Under the focus of everyone's attention, their captain raised his arms and shouted: "Why does Coach Dong want us to think about the World Cup? Because at that time we were facing Russia! It was Brazil! But didn't we also withstand it? Now we are facing Japan.
Team, what can’t you withstand?! The Asian champion is nothing! No matter how powerful little Japan is, can it be better than Brazil?!"
As the captain shouted, the Chinese team players who looked at him became excited.
yes!
We withstood the Brazilian team's indiscriminate bombardment in the World Cup and finally tied with them. We did not flinch when facing the violent "Northern Bear" Ivanov!
Are you still afraid of little Japan?!
Hold!
Don’t be afraid of little Japan!
"Fight them!" Jiang Wanqing spat in the direction of the Japanese team players who were celebrating crazily.
Everyone shouted and ran back to their positions, ready to kick off.
When his teammates dispersed, Wang Guangwei approached Yao Huasheng and asked in a low voice: "Captain Yao, your shoulders..."
Yao Huasheng glanced at Wang Guangwei. When he was encouraging his teammates to fight, the young man in front of him didn't seem very excited. He didn't think it was because Wang Guangwei didn't want to compete with the Japanese, but he admired Wang Guangwei more, because it meant that he
Very calm.
As a central defender, it is very important to keep a clear mind and not to get too excited no matter what.
He can still notice the injury to his shoulder, which proves this point.
He smiled and shook his head: "Everything about my shoulder is normal."
Wang Guangwei didn't seem to believe it, his eyes always fell on the bulge on Yao Huasheng's right shoulder: "They are obviously targeting you..."
Yao Huasheng snorted: "Just come."
Then he patted Wang Guangwei on the shoulder and pushed him away: "Okay, okay, guard your area and don't distract me from here."
Wang Guangwei nodded.
※※※
The Japanese team's celebration was over. They didn't celebrate for too long because they remembered that they were still one goal behind.
So they shook their fists at the fans in the stands and ran back to the half court collectively.
The Japanese fans in the stands waved various flags with Japanese regional customs, sang songs, and cheered for their national team.
Chinese fans, on the other hand, were a little quieter.
They obviously haven't recovered from the blow of conceding the ball.
Not just them, there was a panic spreading in the hearts of all the Chinese fans in the stands and in front of the TV.
The momentum of the Japanese team in the second half was too strong. Facing the rising defending champion, can the Chinese team's not-so-strong defense be able to withstand it?
If another goal is conceded, the two-goal lead that was finally obtained will be lost, and the mentality of the Chinese team players may also collapse...
History seemed to be repeating itself before their eyes.
In the bar, Yan Yan and the others put their hands on the backs of their heads and watched the TV broadcast in silence, completely synchronized with the Chinese fans in the stands who made the same movements and expressions...
