From Hao Junmin's sideline kick to Chen Tao's back-up pass, to Gao Lin's back pass with thrust of his butt to open up space, and finally Wang Ai's light kick, the whole process was smooth, coherent, crisp, and three-dimensional.
There is no need to adjust the individual team members, and the accumulation without waiting and watching is the final stunning and gorgeous result.
What ordinary fans can't understand for a while is that it's as gorgeous as a puppet played by a living person.
It was as if the American team's five-minute leap had just occurred in the last century. Many American fans could not understand why a goal was suddenly scored, why the team's defensive players did not make any defensive moves, and why the goalkeeper did not react at all to this slow shot.
Even Klinsmann, who had his hands in his trouser pockets on the sidelines, couldn't accept it for a moment. He opened his eyes wide and subconsciously looked back at his assistant. After receiving a heavy reply of affirmative, he went to watch the replay on the big screen.
Chinese fans actually didn’t expect that their hearts would beat like drums when they woke up to watch the game at five in the morning and listened to commentator He Wei’s unexpected “Go in?” and Sun Jihai’s “Oh oh oh!”
After repeated replays, especially Sun Jihai’s self-satisfied commentary, people understood that Chen Tao’s back pass saved time and accelerated the rhythm, and Gao Lin’s head-on return pass also saved time and accelerated the rhythm.
, Wang Ai's steady pace and shooting while running once again saved time and accelerated the rhythm.
"Everyone likes to talk about Wang Ai's personal extreme speed. For example, he broke the Asian 100-meter record, which is really amazing." Sun Jihai said with a smile: "But what's even more amazing is his ability to handle the ball. Others only need a few moves.
You need one. This has been shown many times before, and what's so great about this ball is that multiple players have shown this ability. In the end, it is superimposed together, making the opponent not only unable to keep up physically, but also mentally.
Of course the defensive system can’t keep up.”
"This is the charm of football, this is the charm of collective cooperation. Everyone works harder and ends up with a big lead! Ah, I really want to go down and play with them. It's so fun. I dare say this will be the best match in this World Cup.
A goal that was included in the documentary footage!" Sun Jihai said with emotion very fast.
"If you go down and kick now, can you achieve this effect?" He Wei calmly challenged.
"It's okay if you go through special drills." At this point, Sun Jihai paused before speaking again: "But, they play more smoothly. Please note that several of the players this time were born more than ten years ago.
They have been playing football together. They can train together for about two months every year, which makes their tacit understanding continue to deepen and strengthen. Just watch Chen Tao play the ball just now. He knew where Gao Lin was without even looking back. He knew where Gao Lin was.
He could be prepared. As for Gao Lin, he just saw Wang Ai speeding away from the corner not far ahead, and then he stopped looking and kept looking at the ball. He knew where Wang Ai could go. And Wang Ai kept maintaining high speed after breaking away.
Move forward, because he also knows that Gao Lin can handle the ball well and deliver it in place. Only by no hesitation and no slowdown in the whole process can the final sudden effect be achieved. No one of the links in the middle is wrong. This is the result of a high degree of tacit understanding.
It is also the result of a high degree of trust and a high degree of understanding.”
The kick-off has already started again in the stadium, and Sun Jihai hasn't said enough yet. He Wei is waiting for the kick-off to be "described" again, and then introduces the just goal to the fans as usual. After observing that the US team's offense fell into the Chinese team's
After repeated battles on defense, there were no new changes for a while, and then he continued the previous topic: "Although I have been teammates with them for a short time, the age gap is there. For example, I am ten years older than Wang Ai.
When he played with Chelsea in Manchester City in 2003, he came to my house to play after the game. How old was he at that time? He was only 17, still a child, and I? 27, with a wife and children, the efficiency of cultivating tacit understanding is incomparable.
Among their peers, for example, my favorite singer is still the Four Heavenly Kings, but what about them? Jay Chou, I can’t appreciate it at all."
Different from the relaxed and joking atmosphere of Chinese commentators, commentators on major American TV stations were unhappy about conceding goals. They either criticized their own players for their dementia, criticized Klinsmann, and some seriously analyzed Wang Ai's celebration: wearing it on his index finger.
The ring is placed on the forehead instead of being kissed. He raises his arms and points to the sky but looks serious... This is so strange.
The last internationally recognized King of the Rings, Raul, kissed his wedding ring on his ring finger every time he scored a goal, instead of wearing the ring and pointing to the sky. This is definitely not an idea. Brazilian stars Ronaldinho and Kaká have both celebrated by pointing to the sky.
, but they all have specific meanings, and they don’t wear rings, nor do they have the pre-action of putting the ring on their forehead.
In fact, He Wei and Sun Jihai were also very curious, but the director's prompt from BJ was not to analyze and comment on this action that seemed to have religious connotations. BJ's live broadcast room also cut off this celebration action in the replay. China TV
Fans only saw it during the live broadcast, not the replay.
But even so, as the center of attention, the pride of the country, and the leader of the national football team, Wang Ai's uncharacteristic celebration was noticed by many fans. He was quick enough to screenshot the picture online, and also tried his best to record Wang Ai wearing the ring in the game many years ago.
I found the news and found two pictures for comparison. Unfortunately, the high-definition photos from many years ago cannot be found for a more specific comparison and analysis, so I can only leave a series of questions and speculations on the Internet.
The game is still going on. The US team, which conceded a goal first, performed fairly calmly. Under Klinsmann's guidance, it launched an offensive in an orderly manner, but there was no more frenzy in the opening minutes. Because in those minutes, the US team did not even have a single shot.
No, obviously no method can break through the well-informed Chinese team's defensive system, so we can only move forward step by step.
The Chinese team was more stable than the American team. Except for the celebration, the players still looked calm, but they did not relax. They attacked the goal of the American team many times and created dangers. Overall, they still showed a better performance than the American team.
Offensive and defensive capabilities. The U.S. team's defenders perform quite well when dealing with normal situations. They mark people tightly and cooperate well, and they often have some very thoughtful moves to disrupt the Chinese team's offense.
For example, when faced with a short pass from two Chinese team players, European and Chinese players are accustomed to destroying the ball when serving and receiving at both ends, while American players often accidentally extend their thighs to intercept in the middle. This is an inefficient destruction.
This method is not used by mature players, but the American team member unexpectedly used it with miraculous results. Dong Fangzhuo's great opportunity was ruined by this action, causing him to run away in vain.
In the calm exchanges, in the 22nd minute of the game, the calm was broken again.
