Chapter 989
Australia resolved a threatening pass from the Chinese team, thinking that this would be a blessing for survival. However, they soon discovered that there was still a problem to survive the disaster.
Thompson just picked the Chinese central defender Du Wei and was hit by Gao Fei. Australian players thought it was just a normal collision and would not cause any harm to Thompson. Then he was attracted by the Chinese team's offense. When goalkeeper Schwarzer cleared the ball with his feet, everyone guessed that Thompson was still sitting on the ground and did not get up.
Australian players quickly surrounded Thompson and asked what was wrong. Australian head coach Vibeck on the sidelines was also anxious and quickly let the team doctor play to see what happened to Thompson.
Thompson was carried to the sidelines by a stretcher. After examination by the team doctor, his thigh muscle was strained and he was unable to continue the game, so he had to substitute people.
The main striker was injured just 7 minutes after the game was played. This was a bad news for Vibeck, the players and Australian fans. This is not only a loss of strength, but also a significant blow to morale. Although football is a contest of strength, luck has a great impact on the game. Otherwise, there would be no such thing as football being round. Thompson's injury will undoubtedly make players and fans feel that luck is not on their side, which will affect the players' confidence in winning.
No matter how much losses will be caused by replacing Thompson at this time, this person must be replaced, and there is no way to change it. Vibeck can only let the unprepared substitute forward No. 14 Holman come on the court and replace Thompson.
Seeing Thompson being replaced, the entire stadium was in an uproar. This similar scene reminds people of the battle between China and Iraq on the first game day. At that time, the first six or seven minutes, Iraq's main striker Yunis was injured and Iraq was also cut off by the Chinese team's clean three goals.
This time this time is the same period and the main striker. The only difference is that the Iraqi team has become Australia. Will there be similar results with such a similar beginning? Not only Chinese fans are thinking, but Australian fans are also thinking.
Duan Xuan, the commentator at the scene, couldn't help but show joy and said, "Although it is impolite to be happy to see someone get hurt, I still can't help but be happy. After Thompson was injured, this is already the seventh Australian main investor who cannot play. This is definitely a huge blow to Australia. I hope the Chinese team can seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and defeat the powerful Australian Kangaroos in one fell swoop."
Another commentator sighed: "It turns out that the Chinese team has been in bad luck. Since Chen joined, the Chinese team has not only changed its temperament, but also has a surprisingly good luck. This is really awesome."
Duan Xuan said in an almost prophetic tone: "This is the power of the leader, this is the core role. If the Chinese team wins again in this game, I can guarantee that the greatest captain in Chinese football history is born, and he will definitely be able to lead the Chinese team out of Asia and into the world."
The Chinese team showed a very positive offensive attitude at the beginning, which was formulated before the game. Facing the arrogant Kangaroos, the Chinese team's coaching team unanimously agreed that the defense cannot be reduced and adopt the arrogant tactics will only make the opponent's arrogance more arrogant and make their confidence and morale more sluggish.
The Chinese team is not a mature team. It has failed for a long time and has formed a weak mentality, unable to control the rhythm of the game. Without confidence and morale, it is likely that it will be defeated by Australia's impact. At that time, even Chen Yu could not save the situation. Only by actively attacking, hitting the confidence and morale of the opponent, and letting them realize that the opponent is just like Err, can the confidence of Chinese players be enhanced, and the initiative is taken in this game and the final chance to fight.
Plan is planning. No one knows what will happen in the game. They can only adapt to the situation. When they saw the opponent's main striker being replaced, the Chinese team's head coach Vibek was happy, but he couldn't really celebrate. He had to quietly hit Guo Zuojin, who was also smiling. They all knew that the opportunity was coming. This was God who brought a big gift package to the Chinese team. Whether he could seize it depends on themselves.
At this time, we can only be brave and diligent, and continue to expand our psychological advantages until we exhaust our opponent's confidence. As for whether we still have physical strength in the second half, the Chinese coach Forado doesn't need to consider it. He believes that captain Chen Yu will help him solve this problem. Chen Yu has always been a good player in controlling the rhythm, and the players just happen to listen to him.
Sure enough, Chen Yu waved his hand and several of his friends tacitly tried to launch another round of attack on Australia.
The Chinese team's confidence and fighting spirit's offense made Australia very unhappy. In their opinion, this was originally their privilege. The Chinese team is just a bottom-up team who has been defeated repeatedly. The only time they rushed to the World Cup finals was because their opponents became the host of the World Cup. However, the first time they met in the World Cup qualifiers, the Chinese team faced them with the attitude of a strong man. This was simply a humiliation to them. Regardless of the final victory or defeat, such a scene would embarrass them.
Australia is just a colony of the British Empire, but it has the same arrogance mentality as the British Empire in football. They cannot tolerate the Chinese team's performance so well. They almost spontaneously took a tit-for-tat counterattack. If we want to grab it, can't we still run away? If we want to fight for our health, we are five centimeters higher than you on average! If we want to make a breakthrough alone, which one of our personal skills is worse than you?
Australia's counterattack was full of momentum, and a group of strong men over 1.8 meters tall ran together, just like a group of lions hunting. Before they even reached the penalty area, the Chinese players felt a suffocating pressure.
The Chinese players were instantly panicked. After all, the confidence accumulated in these two games was still a little shallow. Facing a strong enemy, they instinctively felt fear.
The Chinese players studying abroad have experienced the tempering of Serie A and Premier League, and their will must be much firmer. With Chen Yu as the backbone, how could they be afraid of Australia, a second-rate world team? Chen Yu waved his hand, Gao Fei, Zheng Hua, and Sun Hai were like surfing sailboats, and like tide-making athletes, rushing towards the Australians.
Gao Fei was the culprit for the injury to Australia's main striker Thompson. He rushed towards Grera who was dribbling the ball like a fierce and evil spirit. Grera was timid at that time. She couldn't be afraid. Gao Fei was stronger than him and was playing in Serie A, which is known for her defense. He had no confidence in overcoming Gao Fei at all, so he could only pass the ball out before Gao Fei arrived.
With this pass, Australia's offense changed from a straight line to a horizontal line, and its momentum became weaker. Then the Chinese players surrounded and intercepted Australian players like wolves, spending their offense in the midfield and not giving them the chance to penetrate into the penalty area.
After all, Australia is not a team like Barcelona that is good at short pass penetration. It was beaten by the Chinese team at the beginning and was impatient. Under the continuous pressing of the Chinese team, it finally returned to the best playing style of British football. It simply and roughly passed the ball to the penalty area.
The Chinese team is highly morale and confident. The West Asian referee showed a friendly attitude. The defenders dared to make moves in the penalty area. Australia's long pass rush did not pose any threat to the Chinese team's goal, but just handed the ball to the Chinese team again.
In the 16th minute of the game, Australia's offense failed and the Chinese team got a chance to counterattack.
Sun Hai successfully intercepted the ball in the backcourt and took it to Zheng Hua. Zheng Hua intelligently transferred the ball to the empty space on the right side of the penalty area. Chen Yu used his speed to throw away Kahni and went to the right side of the penalty area to get the ball.
If Chen Yu got the ball, Australia would be in danger. Even if other players shot in that position, Schwarzer would not be 50% sure to save it. If Chen Yu came to shoot, Schwarzer would not be even 30% sure.
Australia is also a team that has been through the battlefield for a long time and is very sensitive to danger. Carney directly hooks his feet from behind, while the central defender quickly moves to the right to prevent Chen Yu from getting the ball and shooting.
Chen Yu had no eyes behind him, and he couldn't dodge him even if he had. The professional player's foot speed was very fast, and he wanted to get the ball again. It was impossible for Sala to run happily. Kahni hooked his ankle and staggered forward a few times, then fell into the grass.
force!
The referee Hassan's whistle sounded very promptly this time. As a black whistle, Hassan is very dedicated and can always blow to the opponent's uncomfortable places.
Before the Australian players could catch up, Hassan quickly took out a yellow card and looked at Carney.
This is a tactical foul, which destroyed the Chinese team's chance to shoot. It's not an exaggeration to have a yellow card. Gao Fei's foul was not slapped before, but this time he called Carney's foul. Of course, the Australian players were not convinced and all surrounded him to want fairness.
Hassan doesn't want to help the Chinese team, but he really wants to blackmail Australia. Isn't it a delusion to Australian players who want to find fairness here?
brush!
Hassan took out another yellow card to warn Australia's midfielder Bresciano.
Now Australia has no temper. They know that if the trouble continues, the West Asian might take out a red card, so they have to accept the penalty obediently.
However, the Australian commentator was very angry, "Unfair! This is unfair! Australia has suffered unfair treatment! Australia should not join the AFC at all! This is simply a bandit nest! We have to appeal! We must appeal! This is a shame for football..."
The Australian narrator was almost hoarse, but he was really naive. What they were experiencing now was only one-tenth of the Chinese team's experience. In the Asian football world under the control of West Asians, even if they appealed, they would have no result. If they make too much trouble, they might die even more unjustly than Dou E in the end.
The Chinese were obviously flattered and looked at each other one by one. I don’t know which one was staged, and they were actually treated preferentially by the referee of West Asia. However, they did not feel ashamed. According to the law of conservation of energy, the Chinese team should also be treated preferentially. As for who was the unjustly killed, the Chinese people don’t care so much.
Free kick! Two meters ahead of the right side of the penalty area, a very good opportunity.
