Chapter 135 The Chinese are too cunning(1/2)
After the game started, Wu Jie was undoubtedly tightly defended by the New Zealand team. He was surrounded by at least three players at all times.
This kind of encirclement is different from the close double-teaming in basketball. After all, the football field is much larger. It can be understood that the New Zealand team always keeps three defensive players at a distance from him to quickly encircle him.
But also because the football field is big enough, this kind of heavy defense will leave open spaces on the two wings.
After the opening, the Chinese team took advantage of Shen Xiangfu and Gu Guangming's wing attack and quickly launched their best two-wing tactics.
This is also one of the Chinese team's offensive tactics. If the opponent chooses to deploy heavy troops in the middle to defend him and Chen Haonan in the future, then let the two wings become active.
Of the two wingers of the Chinese team, Shen Xiangfu is good at passing and Gu Guangming is good at cutting inside.
Both offensive methods can pose a threat. New Zealand took precautions against Gu Guangming's cut-in, but they really couldn't take care of it at the same time for Shen Xiangfu. This made Shen Xiangfu successfully hit the bottom several times in the first ten minutes of the game. cross,
Chen Jingang's talent is not as good as Liu Haiguang's, but his immediate combat ability is still better. He is considered a top center in Asia.
New Zealand's two central defenders were tall and fought well, but the Chinese team still found two opportunities through simple side passes.
Wu Jie and Zuo Shusheng each had a shot, but unfortunately one shot missed the goal slightly and the other was saved by New Zealand goalkeeper Wilson.
However, the New Zealand players were still scared out of their wits by these two attacks. The Chinese team's ability to create opportunities seemed too easy.
The physical confrontation of New Zealand players originally ranked first in the Asia-Pacific region, but in the past year, many young players with excellent physical confrontation have appeared in the Chinese team, and their physical fitness has been improving.
The current Chinese team is not inferior to North and South Korea in terms of physical fitness, and is not inferior to New Zealand in terms of confrontation ability, at most it is slightly inferior.
But in other aspects, New Zealand players are much worse.
Before Wu Jie could show off his power, the Chinese team just used two fast and flexible wingers to attack, and the New Zealand team was a little unable to resist.
It wasn't until the eleventh minute of the first half that the New Zealand team finally launched a decent attack, but the last kick went wide.
Today New Zealand is still playing long pass and lob tactics. This is their tactical system, mainly because they cannot play ground attack.
New Zealand center Turner is 189m tall and is originally from England. He played for the Queen's Park Wardens in the early 1970s. He is now a substitute for the New York Cosmos in the United States. He was naturalized in New Zealand last year.
The Chinese team sent Jia Xiuquan to keep an eye on Turner, while Zhu Bo specially guarded New Zealand's main scorer Steve Woodis, a point-grabbing forward who plays in England's second division.
Jia Xiuquan will have no problem dealing with Turner. This guy is much better at defending than Wu Jie.
Zhu Bo felt that Steve Woodis was not difficult to guard against. This person's level was not as good as Zhao Dayu's, and he also didn't feel too much pressure.
It was difficult for New Zealand to attack the 30-meter area in front of the Chinese team's goal after the opening kickoff, because even though today's defensive tactics were not the main focus, the Chinese team's collective defense that had been practicing for three months still saw initial results.
Now the Chinese team's midfielders and backcourt players will subconsciously observe the position of their teammates when defending, and at the same time anticipate the possible forward penetration and movement of the opponent's offensive players.
This is of course the consciousness brought out by Wu Jie's abuse. In addition, their abundant physical fitness can also support them to carry out such large-scale support and supplementary defense.
This kind of defense obviously exceeds the Asian level and is even advanced in the world. It already has many characteristics of regional defense.
New Zealand's bankrupt version of England's style of play cannot threaten the Chinese team's goal at all, and the Chinese players will always use their numerical advantage to neutralize the attack.
In the 14th minute of the first half, Gu Guangming made continuous passes into the penalty area. A sudden cross pass gave Wu Jie, who had inserted himself in front of the small penalty area, a chance to shoot. He faced the ball and fired a blast!
There was a "bang" sound!
This kick hit the face of an eye-catching New Zealand player two meters in front of him!
This guy was brave and fearless, but after suffering such a heavy blow, he fell to the ground and went into shock instantly.
The New Zealand players were so frightened that they immediately kicked the ball out of bounds.
The referee also hurriedly stepped forward to stop the game. With a distance of less than two meters, facing Wu Jie's fierce whipping, how could the outcome of being hit in the face be better?
The New Zealand player was kicked straight to the ground, his body unresponsive, as if he had been shot.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the New Zealand players immediately gathered around him. Some slapped his neck, some shook their bodies, and some tried to wake him up with the water bottle the goalkeeper threw in the goal.
"I really didn't mean it!"
Wu Jie expressed regret that he really had no other thoughts about scoring this ball. Besides, this man flew over and took the shot with his head. How could he predict it so accurately?
The New Zealand team doctor quickly came in to check and it took him a long time to wake up the unfortunate guy.
But as soon as you see him unable to stand firmly, you know that he has at least a moderate concussion.
Of course, it was impossible to continue playing in this situation, and the New Zealand team was forced to make a substitution within the first fifteen minutes.
At this moment, some colonists in the VIP building looked unhappy, but when they saw that the perpetrator was Wu Jie, they couldn't say anything more.
Now who doesn't know that the old man is his fan, and there are a lot of big guys who like to watch his games. This is really untouchable!
On the court, the Chinese team quickly set off a wave of offensive climax with the help of Wu Jie's extremely lethal shot...
In the 18th minute, Wu Jie passed a defensive player in the middle with a "fried meatball" move that was promoted as "stealing Chen Haonan", and then used his explosive power to reach the top of the penalty area and fired a long shot. The ball was slightly higher.
beam.
Two minutes later, the Chinese team made a comeback. After Wu Jie broke through again in a one-on-one, he came outside the penalty area and fired another heavy long-range shot.
The ball was too late and went straight towards the arm of New Zealand right back Bendik. The poor right back immediately fell to the ground with a very painful expression on his face.
"Fuck!"
Wu Jie was dumbfounded. Of course he didn't mean the ball intentionally. Instead, he was suspected of deliberately handballing the ball.
But looking at Bendick's painful struggle at this moment, it made him look like a devil.
Bendick was indeed in pain. He actually didn't see where the ball was coming from, but subconsciously raised his hand to block it, and the ball hit his arm.
He instantly felt that he could no longer lift his arm, and soon there was a sharp pain that penetrated his bones.
The New Zealand team doctor had just left not long ago. He hurriedly ran into the stadium again and shook his head again after checking.
So the stretchers came in again, and the New Zealand team had to accept the painful reality that two of their players were kicked off after only playing for twenty minutes.
Hao Colon's face was very ugly. Could this Wu Jie sincerely oppose him?
He came up with the slogan "Better lose a goal than injure someone" in this game, but he injured two people in just 20 minutes. Isn't this a sincere attempt to undermine him?
"I said, Wu Jie didn't do it on purpose, right?"
"It's hard to say! It's hard to say!"
"This is too cruel!"
"They are foreign devils, why should they be so cruel!"
"That's right, good play!"
Chinese fans also began to wonder at this time whether Wu Jie did it on purpose?
Wu Jie is so annoying, he is really not a devil!
Besides, how can he control others to catch the ball with his head and block the ball with his hands?
The New Zealand players did not think in the direction of "intentional", because the Chinese team's defense was very clean, and these two shots were indeed blocked by them on their own initiative. To say that it was intentional would be too far-fetched.
The referee did not target the Chinese team. Today's referee is from Japan, and of course he will not embarrass this national idol who is being hailed as the "Sports Saint" by fans across Japan.
The Chinese team got an indirect free kick outside the penalty area. Although Bendick was lifted off, he also handballed the ball in the penalty area.
There is no routine for this kind of free kick. Zuo Shusheng kicked the ball backwards, and Wu Jie directly volleyed it with great force.
This time the New Zealand players finally made the right move, and a New Zealand player standing in front of the goal had the opportunity to use his head to see if he could block the ball.
But not only did he not move his head, he also made an evasive movement very quickly.
So the football exploded into the net without any hindrance, causing the net to create an exaggerated whirlpool.
"It was so dangerous, I just saved my life!"
The New Zealand player couldn't help but feel scared. If this kick hits his face, he will be disfigured even if he doesn't die!
"boom!"
A wave of heat finally broke out in the "Xian Nong Stadium", including the half of the audience who didn't know much about football. At this moment, infected by the atmosphere of the scene, they couldn't help but cheer for their team's goal!
Wu Jie didn't celebrate very vigorously. He just celebrated with his teammates for a while and then waited for New Zealand to kick off with a calm expression.
This is not because he is showing off. In fact, New Zealand's strength is at the level of a League Two team.
If he uses all his strength to break through, even if three or four players come to defend together, they may not be able to stop him.
For these twenty minutes, he had been holding back and trying to give his teammates more opportunities to perform and practice.
If he wasn't worried about what might happen if he wasn't around, he wouldn't actually want to play, because the Chinese team at this time was already a bit beyond the level of Asia.
After the Chinese team scored a goal, the overall formation retreated slightly and retracted their fists first.
At this time, anyone who knows football can see that the Chinese team's rhythm already has the atmosphere of a strong team.
If the New Zealand team attacks in a hurry at this time, it is very likely that the Chinese team will backhand another three-pin.
The New Zealand team really attacked. They wanted to use their tall and strong bodies to attack the Chinese team's defense.
If compared with body size, the Chinese team is indeed slightly inferior to these New Zealanders who "milk is free and beef is basically endless".
But size does not mean confrontation, and the average height of the Chinese team is only slightly lower. The New Zealanders soon discovered that their size advantage was of no use.
This also made New Zealand's offensive momentum seem to be quite large, but it was in a state of light thunder and no rain, and it was impossible to attack the thirty-meter area in front of the Chinese team's goal.
The head coach of the New Zealand team saw the clues. The Chinese team's backcourt defense not only has a strong sense of hierarchy, but also is very oppressive and has a high degree of tacit understanding. Sooner or later, if the game continues like this, the ball will be intercepted and counterattacked.
Sure enough, New Zealand only attacked fiercely for a few minutes before the Chinese team seized the opportunity to launch a counterattack.
To be continued...
