Ice Shooter of the Green Field

Vol 3 Chapter 76: Cut down Tuao and move on! (Asian Cup)

On January 25, 2011, Doha, the capital of Qatar.

Earlier in the Al Jafala Stadium in Doha, Japan and South Korea played a beautiful match. The two sides entered the penalty shoot-out 120 minutes before entering the penalty shoot-out. The score before entering the penalty shootout was 2:2.

For the Japanese team, Shinji Kagawa was the most beautiful boy in the game with one pass and one shot. Honda Keiyou was not to be outdone. Honda Keyou, who scored the first goal in overtime, almost kicked the Korean team straight out.

For the South Korean team, the top scorer Goo Ja-cheol scored a goal and the captain Ji Seung-yong scored a penalty.

In the penalty shootout, Honda Keiyu, who played first, made the penalty steadily, but Gu Zizhe missed the penalty. Then Okazaki Shinji and Nagatamoyou both made free throws. The other two players of the Korean team, Lee Yonglai and Hong Jeong, unexpectedly missed all of them. The originally suspenseful penalty shootout was won by Japan 3:0.

It took 120 minutes to decide the winner. The semi-final, which was played separately at 16:25 local time, was close to 19 o'clock. Twenty minutes later, the Chinese team VS Australia semi-final at the Khalifa International Stadium in Doha. It will start soon.

In this game, the Chinese team's starting lineup is as follows:

Goalkeeper Zeng Cheng, defender Zhang Linpeng, Du Wei, Li Jianbin, Li Xuepeng, midfielder, Zhao Xuri, Yang Hao partnered with midfielder, Hao Junmin, Deng Zhuoxiang, Qu Bo starter, single forward Qi Ce.

Abandoning the previous double forward, the Chinese team changed to 4231, captain Du Wei came back, Zhao Peng and Rong Hao, who had performed poorly in the defense before, were replaced by Li Jianbin and Li Xuepeng, and the other lineups remained basically unchanged.

On the Australian lineup, most of the players are playing in Europe. They are strong. Goalkeeper Schwarzer, defender Carney, Neal, Ognevsky, Emerton basically play in Europe. In the field, Toffee star Cahill led, Jadinak, Kilkenny, Holman, Valerie started, and the forward was the Australian star Kewell, who played for Liverpool and Leeds for many years.

The most important thing to watch out for is the two Premier League stars Kewell and Cahill. Kewell has excellent dribbling skills, while Cahill is not tall, but has a powerful header. He has been partnered on the offensive line for many years, and the cooperation is also very tacit. , Especially the veteran Kewell has said that this will be his last tournament on behalf of Australia, and he definitely hopes to represent Australia to win the championship.

There were not many fans watching the game, only about 14 thousand. There were more Chinese fans than before. Some Chinese fans who had already been on holiday came to the scene, but there were still a few, about half.

In terms of physical fitness, the Chinese team was stronger than Australia. In the quarter-finals, the Chinese team resolved the battle within 90 minutes and defeated Jordan 3:1. The match time was January 21, and one day. After that, on January 22, the first goal of the match between Australia and the defending champion Iraq appeared in 117 minutes, and veteran Kewell scored the lore.

It is equivalent to the Chinese team taking one day more rest than their opponents, and the game is even easier.

Taking advantage of the advantage, the Chinese team took the lead in oppression, but Gao Hongbo quickly discovered the problem.

The Australian player is a tall individual. In front of the Chinese team players, the stronger Australians will make the Chinese team very uncomfortable in the confrontation. Only Qi Ce in the frontcourt can still get used to the opponents' confrontation, but Qi Ce does not play well. Comfortable.

Australia and the United Kingdom have a well-known relationship. Their football is also very similar to England. They are particular about playing high, using physical collisions and confrontations to compete.

In fact, the Chinese team used to rely on their bodies to play games in Asia. At that time, they were mainly aimed at Southeast Asian fish belly and the Japanese team. Southeast Asians were generally not tall. At that time, Japan was a veritable little Japan, and they were all small quick spirits. , Encountering the Chinese team with excellent physical fitness, basically can't beat it.

Except for the South Korean team.

The Koreans are the early bosses in Asian football. Although they have been gradually overwhelmed by Japan in recent years, the early players of the Korean team did not lose to the Chinese team in stature and had better skills. They naturally became the bosses in East Asia. .

However, these excellent physical qualities are all in East Asia and Southeast Asia for this generation to face the yellow race.

Most of the Australian players are from the United Kingdom. The guys who grew up eating steak, European and American whites have larger skeletons and better physical fitness than the yellow race. They just joined the AFC shortly after their performances are not very good, but they also Not bad, relying on super physical fitness.

Even Qi Ce didn't have much advantage in front of them.

Many of these Australian players play in the English League. Of course, few can play in the Premier League. In fact, only Cahill currently plays for the Premier League team.

If the Premier League is rough, then the following levels can be described by the rough style of the game. Central defender Carney played for Blackpool Blackpool in the British Championship, right back Emerton from violent Ben Blackburn, midfielder Kilken Nepal is from Leeds United in the English Championship. These players have great kicks. As the core player of the Chinese team, Qi Ce has naturally received a lot of "care".

The Australian players are relentless in face-to-face strategy. Of course, as the number one star, they should be under the care of the opponent, but these are the old rivers and lakes who have played in the British Championship for many years. Their playing habits are not very good. .

In the 27th minute, Qi Ce was put to the ground several times by the Australian players. One of them was a head-on confrontation with Emerton, and Emerton kicked directly onto the head bone of Qi Ce's calf, the bastard’s toe. But it's very hard!

Qi Ce grunted and was kicked to the calf by Emerton. This was not a light one. Qi Ce fell to the ground holding his calf, and Gao Hongbo suddenly walked to the sidelines with a nervous expression.

He knows exactly how the team got here, and if Qi Ce suffers an injury, it will basically end there.

When the ball soon died, the Chinese team doctor ran onto the court and took out the ice bag and pressed Qi Ce's calf: "How do you feel?"

"It should be a bad injury, it's okay." Qi Ce grinned and rubbed the ice bag for several times. This group of Tuaos played too hard!

At this time, the fans of the Chinese team also looked at the field very worriedly. Qi Ce has been taken aside by the team doctor. Ten people on the field temporarily challenged, and the game continued.

Gao Hongbo also came over: "Xiao Qi, are you injured?"

Qi Ce shook his head and said, "Fortunately, I should still be able to kick."

"That's good, protect yourself, don't get hurt." Gao Hongbo looked at the team doctor, who also nodded, indicating that there was no major problem.

Soon after, Qi Ce re-entered the game and Emerton had received a yellow card, and his movements were obviously much smaller.

It was only in the first half of the game. He didn't want to leave early because of a foul. After Qi Ce came back on the court, both sides began to play cautiously.

The so-called unsung game of the big game, in the knockout stage, the game is relatively dull, the Chinese team stormed for a while, failed to knock on the opponent's gate, and simply withdrew some.

Then it was Australia's turn to attack, and the Chinese team began to retreat into a counterattack state.

What is unexpected is that, in this state, the Chinese team has become the one to advance the ball.

Australia pressured the offense. Cahill's header was confiscated by Zeng Cheng and then launched a wave of quick counterattacks. The counterattack was of low quality. The ball stumbled and was intercepted by Australia.

But it was this one steal that created an opportunity instead.

Zhang Linpeng was the number one contributor to this goal. Australia sent a wave of local counterattacks after stealing Yang Hao’s tackle in the midfield. This was a very good opportunity to form a three-on-two in the frontcourt. The Australian midfielder immediately followed suit. On the offense, and this time Zhang Linpeng made a very clean and accurate sliding tackle to break the ball.

Then Zhang Linpeng kicked the ball and passed it to Zhao Xuri, who had returned. The latter looked up. This was a good opportunity to counterattack.

The half-high ball was given to Qi Ce, and even stopped. The moment when Qi Ce stopped the ball, he passed Carney~www.wuxiahere.com~ In the case of Australian formation, Qi Ce quietly came to the last position of the defense line. .

Carney subconsciously pulled, but Qi Ce's outstanding explosiveness had already thrown off his opponent, and then he could only chase back while signaling for offside, but the chase would definitely not be able to catch up.

Carney is 1.9 meters tall, explosive and turning around are all his weaknesses, so he can't get a foothold in the Premier League.

Then there is Yimapingchuan!

In the face of Fulham goalkeeper Schwarzer, Qi Ce single-handedly chose a light shot. Schwarzer rushed towards Qi Ce to expand his defensive area as much as possible, but Qi Ce made a single kick at a distance. Picking shots left him helpless.

Leading in the first half, Gao Hongbo strengthened his defensive counterattack. In the second half, except for Qi Ce, most of the players defended in the backcourt. Australia saw Qi Ce's power for the first time, and then he paid more attention to Qi Ce's defense. , I didn't expect this also affected the offense.

The final score in this semi-final was 2:1. The Chinese team was equalized in 59 minutes of the second half, but Qi Ce scored again in the 79 minutes!

Under the **** of Qi Ce's two goals, the Chinese team entered the Asian Cup final for the third time in history!
