"From the opening situation, the Chinese team's fighting is very active, and the desire to attack is also very strong. Although there has not been a goal yet, the Chinese team undoubtedly took the initiative. What do you think, Director Zhang?"

The imperial court station held a live broadcast of this national Olympic game tonight, which also attached great importance to it. The host is He Wei, and two guests were specially invited. This is a small reform since Chen Feng joined the national football team. Every time Chen Feng participated in the live broadcast of the game, in addition to the host, there are often two other commentary guests. In the past, there were usually only one guest.

In addition to the two commentators who are familiar to the fans, there is also a younger former international Xu Yang.

"The situation is still quite good from the opening game, and the Chinese team has indeed taken the initiative. The New Zealand team played more passively. However, the Chinese team performed a little too eagerly, and the quality of the shots was not very high. The Chinese team must play steadily in this regard and improve the shooting success rate. Hehe, only by increasing the success rate can we win this game."

After Coach Zhang finished speaking, Xu Yang also said: "Yes, the Chinese team has been very aggressive since the beginning of the game, but unfortunately the shooting success rate is too low."

He Wei said: "New Zealand and the Chinese team had only a handful of battles before, and they didn't know each other very well. Although our Chinese team currently has an advantage in the scene, we cannot take it lightly."

As a traditional strong team in Oceania, the New Zealand team has been suppressed by the more powerful Australian "Kangaroos" Australian team for a long time and is unable to stand out. In the past, it has also suffered many defeats in the battle for the qualifying rights of the Olympic Games. After Australia joined the AFC, the New Zealanders who "no tigers in the mountains" finally tasted the wonderful taste of being the only one. They reached the Olympic football finals for the first time in history. There is no doubt that the competition experience is extremely lacking, but they have been veiled as a "mysterious journey".

Xu Yang analyzed: "From the overall style of the team, New Zealand team is deeply influenced by the long pass and rushing of British football. It pays more attention to the high ball on both wings using strong bodies to hit the opponent, and the ground cooperation is relatively rough, which is a comprehensive weakened version of the Australian team."

He Wei introduced: "Nelson, who is currently playing for Blackburn in the Premier League, is currently the top star in the team and the biggest capital for New Zealand to build on the Olympics. The team's defense has a certain advantage in height, and its weakness is that the central defender turns slowly. The Chinese team's chance to win is undoubtedly to pass the ball behind him and strive to break through the opponent's defense. In addition, the opponent's forward height reaches 1.83 meters on the front line, Brokey, who is currently playing for the Celtics, is his offensive core. The Chinese team's defenders also need to be vigilant and focus on defense. They cannot be careless."

New Zealand team successively won corner kicks and free kick opportunities, but neither formed an offensive. With active pressing in the middle and front court, the Chinese team continued to take the initiative. In the 15th minute, Gao Junming made a cross from the right wing, and Lin Hao headed the ball missed. A few minutes later, Gao Junming made a strong breakthrough and then formed a certain threat.

In the 20th minute, Han Xiaopeng retreated and was violated to get the ball, winning the left wing free kick for the Chinese team. Gao Junming passed the ball into the penalty area. Cui Xiaopeng subconsciously blocked the high ball and missed the baseline. In the 24th minute, New Zealand's left wing made a concise offensive. Zhou Haibin made a foul in defense and brought the opponent down near the penalty area line, receiving a yellow card. New Zealand's free kick had not been issued yet, and the referee stopped the game. Li Feng and Brokey had a verbal conflict when grabbing the position, and both received yellow cards. New Zealand's free kick was finally resolved by the Chinese team's defense.

In the 26th minute, New Zealand used the opportunity of the left-wing out-of-bounds ball to penetrate into the penalty area, forming a small angle attack in the melee, and was blocked by Han Xiaopeng who was retreating to defend. In the 28th minute, the Chinese team formed an impact in the continuous passes of the right wing. Lin Hao was fiercely knocked down by Older after passing the ball, and the latter received a yellow card. The New Zealand team's offensive was mainly reflected by high-ball rushing. Although the accuracy is difficult to guarantee, it also puts some pressure on China's defense line. In the middle of the half, the Chinese team had several long passes and dispatches that had already found gaps on the side, but they also made unnecessary mistakes in the receiving phase.

In the 37th minute, after the Chinese team's defense line fell down continuously, Feng Ting made a big pass to the left wing, Yuan Wei helped Cui Xiaopeng form a forward insertion, the latter cut into the penalty area and crossed, Gao Junming got the ball from the back. With the shot and passing, he still chose to pass it to Gao Junming, but was cleared by the opponent. In the 1 minute, there was a sudden ups and downs in the backcourt. New Zealand defender Ald deliberately made a handball foul under Lin Hao, received the second yellow card and was sent off! The situation on the court was immediately very beneficial to the Chinese team, and more than 70,000 spectators on the court also applauded and cheered loudly.

Immediately afterwards, Deng Zhi scored a high free kick in front of the penalty area. After the Chinese team's offensive created chaos in the New Zealand penalty area, New Zealand also got a free kick opportunity in front of the penalty area in the 43rd minute, and Ellio's arc ball was slightly off. In the 44th minute, Gao Junming made a cross from the right wing, Han Xiaopeng stopped the ball in the penalty area, and Tan Song, who followed, took the lead and attacked the goal, was blocked.

Although the New Zealand team lacked one player, unfortunately the Chinese team did not fully seize the opportunity to form a shot. The New Zealand team did not intend to shrink its formation. Instead, they began to fight against the Chinese team, and they did not seem to be too weak at a disadvantage. Moreover, before the end of the half, Feng Ting also received a yellow card for a foul on the defense of the opponent.

"The half is over. This is really a pity. Several times, the Chinese team's offense did not form an effective shot, especially when the opponent was one less," He Wei said with a pity.

Coach Zhang also said: "Hehe, it's really a pity. If we lead in the first half, our success rate will undoubtedly be much higher if we win this game."

Xu Yang said: "New Zealand team played very tenaciously. They played a little passively at the beginning, but as time went on, they played very actively later. Especially when one person was missing, the opponent played better than before."

"At present, if the Chinese team wants to win this game, if Chen Feng is not used as a super forward, it will still be a 50% stake."

"Hehe, overall, we still have a little advantage, after all, the opponent has one less person. We should continue to strengthen the offense in the second half, but we should not be too anxious when organizing the offense. We must pursue success rate rather than attacks."

"Chen Feng will also participate in many Olympic competitions. If he had no choice, I think he would not play the day before the opening ceremony."

"This is a situation. From the overall situation, we don't want Chen Feng to play in this game. After all, it's a bit too risky. I just hope that other players can win this game."

...

In the locker room, Forador was obviously very dissatisfied with the performance of the Chinese team in the first half. He was bluntly criticized several players, and then he quickly re-arranged the tactics. The most core one was to continue to strengthen the offense. However, he also emphasized the importance of defense and also gave advice in this regard. In particular, he assigned players to guard the opponent's core offensive player Brokey. Another point was that he emphasized the success rate of the frontcourt cooperation and offense.

After the two teams changed sides, the Chinese team undoubtedly followed the head coach's tactical arrangements and made multiple passes near the opponent's penalty area several times in a short period of time, but none of them formed an attack. New Zealand, which was at a disadvantage in numbers, also strengthened the interception in the midfield. In the 50th minute, New Zealand made a straight pass from the right wing, and the Chinese team's defense made an offside mistake and was intercepted by Kiren alone. However, Kiren's movements were slow and he was successfully intercepted by Li Feng. This situation can be said to have scared everyone in a cold sweat.

Unfortunately, the Chinese team did not learn this lesson. Less than 2 minutes later, the Chinese team's strategy of pressing forward on the defense line was hit by a fatal blow. The opponent's simple pass crossed the entire Chinese defense line. Brocky quickly inserted, broke into the penalty area and attacked vigorously, sending the ball from Qiu Shengjiong and the near post into the net. New Zealand led 1-0. This goal was very concise and very sudden, with the effect of a sword sealing the throat.

New Zealand team led the score with one less player, which made the Chinese team unacceptable, and Forado on the sidelines looked very ugly. Chen Feng on the bench also looked helpless, sighing in his heart that although his time and space butterfly intervened, even the head coach had been replaced, but this historical inertia was really very strong. The Chinese team still played this game like this. The good situation at the beginning was now developing towards the bad side.

"This goal is too inappropriate. The Chinese team is too careless!" He Wei said resentful.

"The New Zealand team is getting more and more stable now. And we are just the opposite." Director Zhang commented fairly.

"We obviously missed some people on the defense line just now. It's true that something shouldn't be true." Xu Yang also said a little depressed.

The Chinese team quickly began to change players, using Jiangning and Cheng Tao to replace Lin Hao and Gao Junming one after another. However, these two substitution tactics did not achieve any good results.

In the 58th minute, the Chinese team intercepted the ball and immediately pushed forward. Jiang Ning divided the ball to the right. Cheng Tao crossed the ball from the bottom to win the corner kick, but Cheng Tao took the corner kick directly out of bounds. For some time, the Chinese team did not show the counterattack momentum, and the scene was in a stalemate. In the 63rd minute, the Chinese team made a defensive foul in front of the penalty area line, and New Zealand got a free kick opportunity to go to the left position. Kiren attacked the goal and bypassed the wall. Fortunately, he was blocked by goalkeeper Qiu Sheng. In the 65th minute, Yuan Wei passed the left corner kick to win. After the corner kick did not form a strong point, the Chinese team passed the right wing again and passed the penalty area. Han Xiaopeng headed the ball with his back and missed. More than 70,000 spectators all sighed.

In the 67th minute, Zhou Haibing made a front pass in the middle, Deng Zhi broke into the left wing of the penalty area and then made a low cross. Although Jiang Ning was in line, he was destroyed by his opponent Nelson. In the 72nd minute, a handball handball was given in front of the penalty area, and Zhou Haibing's powerful shot was blocked by a wall and went out of the baseline. Three minutes later, the Chinese team made a cross from the left wing. The ball rebounded and ran to the front of the penalty area. Deng Zhi's attack was blocked from the baseline again; Deng Zhi passed the corner kick to the back point, Jiang Ning's powerful shot at a small angle was blocked by the defensive player again, and the ball bounced on the door frame, but he didn't enter the door, and the audience heard neat sighs again. In the 77th minute, Cheng Tao created a threat on the right wing. When receiving the pass, he stopped the ball directly and broke straight to the bottom line of the right wing of the penalty area. Facing the blocked goalkeeper, Cheng Tao shot and hit the edge net.

In the 80th minute, New Zealand made a strong attack in the middle, and Kiron's long shot was blocked from the baseline. At this time, there was not much time left for the Chinese team. Whether it was the audience on site or the Chinese audience in front of the TV, they were a little anxious at this time. Among the more than 70,000 spectators on site, some people began to keep shouting "Chen Feng". Although everyone understood that Chen Feng was going to actively prepare for many other Olympic games, they did not want him to play, just in case of injury. But this was based on the premise that the Chinese team wanted to win, and now it was only ten minutes before the end of the game. However, the Chinese team was one goal behind. Judging from the current situation, if Chen Feng did not play and turned the tide again, he would lose this significant game.

This is the first Olympic Games for the Beijing Olympics, and China as the organizer as the host. If one is the host, if one loses the game in front of one's own goal, and loses to a third-rate team like New Zealand, then all face will be lost.

As the head coach, Forador's face was very solemn at this time, but he had no intention of making a substitution.

"The situation is very unoptimistic now. We don't have much time left for us. If we lose this game, we cannot give an explanation to the people of the whole country." He Wei said in a heavy tone.

"Now that's how I can only let Chen Feng play. Except for him, other players obviously cannot take on the heavy responsibility of turning the tide."

"Yes. Now that the situation is forced, if Chen Feng does not come on the court, he may really lose this game. This game is of great significance to us and cannot be missed."

...

Chen Feng was also speechless and helpless on the bench at this time. His time and space butterfly indeed made this game change in this time and space. Because King Dong should have been replaced in the field at that time in the previous life, and then scored a historic Olympic goal to help the Chinese team tie the score and save some face from the Chinese team. But now in the last ten minutes, Forado has not yet replaced King Dong, and he has not been replaced.

Judging from his appearance, it seems that he really doesn't want to use the last place to replace him. Or he is struggling and entangled in his heart, whether to replace him again, whether to replace Chen Feng, and whether to replace someone else.

Time continued to pass in such a very tense and even tormental atmosphere. Until the 84th minute, the Chinese team cooperated in the middle and Jiang Ning dribbled the ball to the near-the-counter line and was blocked. Then his cross was touched out of the baseline again.
Chapter completed!
