Chapter 1073 Killing the Myth

It's no wonder that the Colombian coach was so emotional, because in the first quarter of an hour of the game, the Chinese team had passed the ball more than 130 times, while Greece had only 26 times. This is a huge gap. From a statistical point of view, the Greek team played very hard.

The advantage of the Chinese team is becoming more and more obvious, and the shooting opportunities are beginning to increase.

In the 19th minute, Hao Junmin launched an offensive with a pass from the right wing. Wu Sanshi directly knocked the ball back in mid-air. Dong Fangzhuo followed up and made no adjustments in front of the penalty area. He pushed the lower right corner of the goal with his right foot. The force was not strong, but the angle was very high. Tricky, Greek goalkeeper Karnesis made a quick side dive and confiscated the ball.

As soon as he got up, his teammates in front waved to him. It's just that as soon as he kicked the ball out, the Chinese team also defended, and the speed of the defense was very fast, not giving Greece any chance to advance quickly. By the time they hit the ball to the right side of the Chinese team's backcourt, there was no chance. What space is there? There was only one move left, which was to force a pass. After that, the ball was gone. Even Dong Fangzhuo returned to the penalty area to participate in the defense. How could the three Greek players find shooting opportunities in the penalty area?

Subsequently, Zheng Zhi pushed the ball from the backcourt to the frontcourt. Huang Bowen and Zhao Xuri passed the ball continuously, and the ball was handed over to Feng Renliang. Facing the tall Greek right back Maniatis, Feng Renliang resolutely went outside and went to the bottom.

Dong Fangzhuo followed up in time and received an inverted triangle return pass from Feng Renliang on the penalty area line. Although Samaras and Cone were flanking him from the left and right, Dong Fangzhuo suddenly kicked back with his heel, retreating instead of advancing, and easily escaped the flanking attack.

He flicked his right foot towards the center and quickly hit a curve ball in front of Papastathopoulos!

call,

The ball flew to the upper right corner of the goal in a beautiful arc, and everyone's eyes fell on the ball.

Well!

The ball went just wide of the far post.

"This ball was played with great quality. If the arc had been wider, the ball would have gone in. Dong Fangzhuo's shot was very thoughtful. The goalkeeper would have been unable to do anything against this shot."

However, in a blink of an eye, the Greek team rarely made a ground attack. Defender Holebas stepped in to assist and broke through Zhang Linpeng's defense on the left. However, his diagonal pass was not strong enough and Zeng Cheng confiscated the ball.

Dong Fangzhuo once again stood outside his own penalty area and received the ball thrown by Zeng Cheng, and then he directly sent an overhead long pass. Wu Sanshi's movement was quite beautiful. He suddenly wandered from the center to the right and immediately used his right hand. When stopping the ball with his foot, it also passed Manolas, but Feng Renliang followed up a little late. When Wu Sanshi made another move and wanted to move the ball horizontally to pass Papastathopoulos, the ball was poked away. .

"Wu Sanshi's ball control skills are not good."

"He can only complete a shot or pass within two or three steps of receiving the ball. Once he rushes with the ball, he is basically useless..."

Greece, who regained the ball, also launched a long pass, but failed to grasp the footwork well, and the ball returned to the feet of the Chinese team...

In the 26th minute, Feng Renliang received a pass from Dong Fangzhuo from the left and passed it across the middle. Wu Sanshi made a shovel shot from the middle, but his legs were a little short and he missed...

"Goal, the Chinese team is short of a goal right now."

"Who stands up?"

Duan Xuan was anxious, and the fans were also anxious. They had the advantage but didn't score, and no one scored in the Chinese team.

"Dong Fangzhuo should lean forward, he is too far back."

"Just passing the ball won't work. Does the Chinese team have Cristiano Ronaldo or Benzema in front of them? Even if there is Jese or Morata?"

Then the Greek team made a rare fast break. Maniatis broke through Zhu Ting on the right wing and cut into the Chinese team's penalty area. Although Feng Xiaoting made up for it in time, he still allowed him to complete the attack from a small angle. Fortunately, Zeng Cheng The near corner was sealed in time.

"It feels very dangerous if we can't attack for a long time."

"Suddenly, we were suddenly attacked by Greece."

"This shouldn't be the case."

"This is what we should do!"

People outside the field were anxious, but the players on the field were not. The Chinese team still played step by step. Zheng Zhi sent the ball directly to Dong Fangzhuo's feet.

Dong Fangzhuo wanted to kill the defense in the middle with a fried ball, but he was knocked down by Kachulanis, who also received a yellow card.

The Chinese team had to stop its attack. After re-serving, the Chinese team still insisted on playing ground attack. Huang Bowen, Dong Fangzhuo and Zhao Xuri played a beautiful triangle. In the end, Dong Fangzhuo turned sideways and cut his instep outside the penalty area. The ball rolled past Manolas very covertly and fell directly to the feet of Wu Sanshi who was running laterally.

"nice shot!"

Boom——

Wu Sanshi volleyed directly into the lower left corner of the goal with his right foot.

"oops!"

"Slide out the door."

"The tactics laid out by Krauchen today were not wrong, but Wu Sanshi's first start was a failure. His ability to end the game needs to be improved."

"The game lasted for half an hour and he missed three opportunities to change the score."

The camera deliberately gave Wu Sanshi a close-up. Wu Sanshi's face was expressionless. I wonder if he would lose confidence if he missed three opportunities in a row.

But there was no time for him to be depressed now, because the Greek team's ball was intercepted by the Chinese team again. Feng Renliang took the ball from the left and broke through, changing directions and dribbling the ball to the left side of the penalty area. Wu Sanshi opened up space on the right, but Feng Renliang did not choose to pass the ball. Instead, he unexpectedly pulled the ball into the penalty area and shot with his left foot!

But the ball was blocked by the goalkeeper!

"..."

"The quality of the shot was good, but the goalkeeper played well."

"The ball now falls into the backcourt of the Chinese team, with Feng Xiaoting and Mitroglu competing for a header."

"Mitroglu fell on the turf. What happened? There was no physical contact between the two sides. Was he injured? He was covering his waist. It seemed that he had twisted it. If he had a waist injury, he would have to end the game."

The referee stopped the game, and the Greek team doctor entered the field. Mitroglou did not stand up, but lay down and communicated with the team doctor for a while. Then the team doctor waved, a stretcher came in, and Mitroglu was carried away. stretcher.

"It looks like the injury is serious. It's time to substitute. Yekas on the sidelines has already taken off his coat and is warming up. The weather is very hot. Zhao Xuri and the others took this time to run off the court to drink water and replenish their fluids in time. This year's Brazil The World Cup allows for short breaks to allow players to rehydrate..."

"With the loss of Greece's main forward, it will be even worse for Greece. Their offensive power is not strong, and they have to play Cote d'Ivoire in the next game. But if they lose this game, they will be eliminated early. In the last game Playing against Ivory Coast would be meaningless."

After Yekas came up, the first half almost ran out. The Chinese team took a boundary kick and tried to throw the ball directly to Hao Junmin's feet, but Hao Junmin failed to protect it and the ball was intercepted by Samaras. Samaras passed the ball and Zheng Zhi also topped the ball.

Huang Bowen passed the ball diagonally to Dong Fangzhuo. Dong Fangzhuo turned around and pulled the ball, and was about to charge with the ball. However, Kachulanis came in with a sliding tackle from the side.

boom,

Dong Fangzhuo fell to the ground instantly! Screaming in pain.

beep,

"This ball deserves a yellow card."

"Too dangerous,"

"Definitely give a yellow card."

"No, Kachulanis had a yellow card before."

"Sure enough, the referee showed a yellow card."

"In this case, Greece will really be in trouble. Two yellows will turn into one red. Katchulanis will be sent off with a yellow card. They will have to play 10 against 11!"

The Greek players surrounded the referee and tried to get the referee to change the penalty, but to no avail as the referee insisted on the penalty.

"In this case, the Chinese team has a good chance of scoring. Even if it is a draw in the first half, they will score in the second half. For the Chinese team, now is the right time and the right place."

In the stands, the Chinese fans were also extremely excited. Everyone knew what this meant.

Greek coach Santos went to the fourth official for a long time, but finally came back disgraced.

But it happened that at this time, danger came.

The Greek team, which was already fighting with 10 men, formed a threatening offensive in the 40th minute. Torosidis made a pass in front of the penalty area and was blocked by Feng Xiaoting. He got the ball again and volleyed vigorously. Zeng Cheng saved the ball.

Krauchen was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat. He was very dissatisfied and shouted beside him. He was determined not to commit suicide by himself!

And Santos actually made the second substitution adjustment at this time? Enter veteran Kara Gounis.

Duan Xuan said with emotion: "Santos can't wait to compete with the Chinese team and change attacking players so quickly."

"Perhaps he also felt that the odds were stacked against him, so he decided to make a last stand and replace Karagounis in advance."

After Karagounis came up, he immediately passed the ball diagonally to start the offensive. Yekas moved forward and swept the ball into the Chinese team's penalty area. Unfortunately, Samaras outflanked it too late!

At the end of half-time, the two sides handed over the answer sheet 0:0.

"Although Greece is relatively passive, they still have several good opportunities,"

"The Chinese team cannot take it lightly and must find a way to score as soon as possible."

"..."

After halftime, Krauchen made a decisive change and replaced Wu Sanshi with Gao Lin. This was the only change.

"Sanshi is off the field. For him personally, this first start was not a success, but don't be discouraged, he is still young."

"After Gao Lin comes up, he may have more chances to get the ball."

Gao Lin may not be as good as Wu Sanshi in scoring ability, but he can become the fulcrum of the frontcourt and create more opportunities for his teammates.

※※※※

Just after the whistle started in the second half, Dong Fangzhuo shocked the Greek goalkeeper.

Seeing the Greek goalkeeper standing very far forward, Dong Fangzhuo suddenly launched a super long-range lob from the center circle!

"Ah!"

"Just a little bit!"

"The ball just missed the post."

"In the last World Cup, he scored a super lob."

"I don't know if he can score a classic goal in this cup. His goal in the last cup, which beat 6 people in a row, is almost as famous as Maradona's goal of the century."

Then, the Chinese team continued to control the ball. In the 55th minute, Dong Fangzhuo was kicked down by Samaras when he escaped from the middle, and the latter received a yellow card; Dong Fangzhuo took a direct free kick and was blocked by the wall.

Duan Xuan sighed:

“The human wall in Greece is too high and it’s hard for Dong Qiu to pass over his head…”

The Greek team, which continued to be on the defensive, also used set pieces to threaten the Chinese goal and once won 4 corner kicks in a row. However, China's defense was also impeccable and did not give any chance.

The first fifteen minutes passed and it was still a draw.

Dong Fangzhuo's position has obviously moved forward.

In the 64th minute, Dong Fangzhuo quickly dribbled the ball to initiate a counterattack, and then passed it to Gao Lin. Gao Lin was knocked down in front of the penalty area and won a free kick. Dong Fangzhuo took the penalty again, but the shot was blocked by the wall...

But the Chinese team's offensive thinking has never changed.

Four minutes later, the Chinese team launched another wave of attacks.

"Dong Fangzhuo is coming up!"

Feng Renliang made a diagonal pass from the left to the right side of the Greek penalty area. Dong Fangzhuo, who was advancing forward under the watch of two defenders, reached the landing point and knocked on the door. Gao Lin, who was outflanked from behind, pushed and fired into the half-empty goal!

"The ball is in!"

"The ball is in!"

"Gao Lin!"

"Gao Lin!"

"This is his third goal in the World Cup, his first goal in this World Cup."

"1:0,"

"The Chinese team finally took the lead."

"Dong Fangzhuo's cakes are so comfortable to feed, it's hard for Gao Lin not to eat them."

"It will be difficult for Greece now. Losing means they will be eliminated."

"At this moment, the stadium is already a sea of ​​red joy."

"Chinese fans have been waiting for a long time."

"Sure enough, Dong Fangzhuo has to come up personally to solve the problem."

"Greece must attack,"

"We can sit back and wait, which is our favorite way."

The Greek players were naturally very frustrated. They were one goal behind and had one less player to play. How could the game be played?

Head coach Santos could only helplessly spread his hands on the sidelines. It seemed that the Greek myth had disappeared...

The excited Gao Lin took off his jersey to celebrate and received a yellow card. It is not easy for him to score goals in the World Cup. After all, he is not the main player of the team.

The game resumed soon, and the Greek team really pressed forward to attack. This was a dead horse being treated as a living horse.

But soon they suffered another blow. In the 72nd minute, the Chinese team launched a quick counterattack through the left wing. The Greek team's attack was blocked by Zhu Ting in the backcourt. Zhu Ting found Feng Renliang with a through ball in the backcourt. Feng Renliang Immediately slanting into the middle of the penalty area, Gao Lin leaned on Papastapoulos to knock the ball back, and Dong Fangzhuo followed up with a violent volley in time!

The Greek goalkeeper bravely saved the ball. Papastathopoulos, who was behind Gao Lin, hurriedly came back to save the ball, but the ball missed the ball and did not roll away. Dong Fangzhuo stretched out his right leg to stop the ball and fired a shot far away from the goal with his right foot. horn!

Accurate and bloodthirsty!

"The ball is in!"

"The ball is in!"

"Dong Fangzhuo!"

"Dong Fangzhuo!"

"This time it was Dong Fangzhuo who scored, his third goal in this cup and his 24th goal in the World Cup."

"The Chinese team scored two goals in three minutes. 2:0, basically winning the game..."

"This is a belated victory. The fans have been waiting for such a long time, and now they can finally breathe a sigh of relief. If nothing else happens, the Chinese team will qualify from the group early with two wins..."

The army was defeated like a mountain.

The Greek team was unable to recover and conceded two goals in three minutes, putting them in a desperate situation.

In the last 20 minutes or so, their morale was extremely low and they were unable to organize an attack to pose a threat to China's penalty area.

The Chinese team slowed down and did not continue to attack.

Deng Zhuoxiang finally came on to replace Dong Fangzhuo.

The whole game is over.

2:0……
