Chapter 553 Olympic Legend 40
"It's another bad first half. The Chinese team is now one goal behind the Italian team. This conceding shouldn't have happened. Now the Chinese team lost one goal, and there is one person missing. The situation is very unfavorable to the Chinese team." He Wei was obviously a little dissatisfied with this penalty. But as the host and commentator, he was not easy to express it too clearly in the show.
Director Zhang also said with some concern: "Now the Chinese team can only try their best to defend well. Although the previous defense was quite good, it was obviously not enough. Now that there is one person missing, we must strengthen our defense even more. Otherwise, the Chinese team will be in danger."
Haodong said at this time: "Although we have one missing person, as long as the players on the court can continue to strengthen their defense, the situation is not too bad for us. Even if we missed a goal in the first half, after Chen Feng came on the court in the second half, we will definitely launch a counterattack. At that time, the Italian team will definitely not be able to attack our goal unscrupulously as it is now."
Fang Yi also echoed: "That's right. When we played against Brazil, the situation was much worse than now. At that time, we were tied by Brazil, and the game ended only a few minutes before the game. Even I thought it was impossible for us to qualify. But in the end, we were not the final qualifier. Now it is the first half. As long as we continue to strengthen our defense and ensure that we will not concede the ball, I think the victory will still belong to us."
...
As Fang Yi finished speaking, the Italian team made another shot. After Rossi received a pass from his teammate near the edge of the penalty area, he suddenly shot the ball, and the ball hit Li Weifeng and bounced out of bounds.
At this time, the game had reached the 35th minute, and the Italian team's corner kick was taken. Chigalini took a corner kick, and Rossi suddenly jumped up and headed the ball at about 10 meters away from the goal. Li Weifeng stood beside the right post and headed the ball out of the clearance. Gao Junming immediately cleared the ball when he received the ball.
Pochetti in the backcourt received the ball and kicked it back with a big kick. The ball reached Giovenko's feet. He did not stop and passed it directly to Chigalini who came up to receive it. Chigalini stopped the ball and turned to Han Xiaopeng who was coming up to press, and suddenly accelerated and passed the ball into the penalty area with high feet.
At this time, in the penalty area, three Italian players were actively seizing positions with the Chinese defensive players. Chigalini's sudden high-footed lob made the Chinese team very busy.
Although Feng Xiao, who was defending AquaFres, was very busy facing the opponent's sudden lob in the penalty area. The two of them were almost at the same time to compete for the ball, but AquaFres's position was obviously better and his jumping power was even more amazing. He first got the ball, and his head was swung to the right, and the ball flew directly to the upper left corner of the Chinese team's goal.
At this time, Yuan Wei, who was standing next to the left goal post, hurriedly jumped and pointed the ball out of the goal. Jiang Ning immediately cleared the ball after receiving the ball. However, at this time, the referee's whistle suddenly sounded and pointed his finger at the goal, indicating that he had scored just now.
The Chinese team was stunned, and the same was true for the Italian team. However, they quickly realized that Aquafres, who scored a goal, shouted excitedly and ran all over the field. The other players were smiling and hugged Aquafres to celebrate.
Of course, the Chinese team stopped doing it. The players stepped forward to surround the head coach to ask for an explanation. The head coach tried to get rid of it several times but failed to get what he wanted. More than 80,000 spectators at the scene were booing at this time, and obviously they were very dissatisfied with the referee's penalty.
The audience in front of the TV were also a little furious at this time, especially the audiences in China, who were all expelled from the Three Character Classic.
At this time, the slow-motion replay was also performed on the TV, but what made everyone feel a little depressed was that it was really hard to judge whether the ball had passed the goal line and could not be seen from several shooting angles of the camera. So, strictly speaking, the referee's penalty was really the final decision.
"This ball can be judged or not. But now that the referee has made a valid decision, the Chinese team can only admit that they are unlucky." He Wei said helplessly.
Coach Zhang also said helplessly: "This ball is really unlucky for the Chinese team. Maybe from the position occupied by the referee just now, he really made the goal line. But this is obviously a bit unfair to the Chinese team."
Haodong said with resentment: "The referee's penalty is somewhat inclined to the Italian team."
Fang Yi said directly: "This referee is obviously favoring the Italian team. The penalty kick was a bit heavy, so it would be fine if he awarded a penalty, but he gave Yang Wansong a red card directly. After changing to other referees, Yang Wansong was fouled behind him, but his nature was not bad. It was enough to give a yellow card to award a penalty kick and give a yellow card. And the referee could also judge this goal just now, but he just awarded the goal."
Fang Yi's words undoubtedly received the approval of hundreds of millions of domestic audiences.
At this time, the referee, surrounded by Chinese players, verbally warned the Chinese players several times and acted like he wanted to get a card, and the Chinese team could only admit defeat. The referee on the football field is God. If the players deliberately stimulate them, they will be willing to die.
After the Chinese team players dispersed, they reluctantly went to the middle circle to serve again.
At this time, the game had already reached 42 minutes, and it was only three minutes before the end of the first half. Therefore, the Chinese team played very cautiously and tried to spend the game time in their own half. The Italian team directly pressed the Chinese team all over the field, trying to score another goal.
Judging from this scene, those who don’t know the truth think that the Chinese team is ahead of their opponents. But in fact, the Italian team leads the Chinese team two goals. The reason why both teams do this is of course their own plan. The Chinese team wants to wait until Chen Feng comes on the court in the second half before taking revenge. Now they don’t have the confidence to attack, so they can only seek to achieve nothing but have worked hard to help.
Of course, the Italian team also knew that Chen Feng would play in the second half, and they also knew that Chen Feng was powerful, so it was like trying his best to open the scores between the two teams in the first half.
With the Italian team pressing all over the field, the Chinese team only lasted for more than a minute and was cut off by the opponent. The Italian team immediately launched the offensive again and shot twice in a row. Fortunately, they missed the goal both times.
When the referee's whistle sounded and announced that the first half was over, both the Chinese players on the court and the audience in front of the TV felt relieved. If the Italian team continued to attack like this again, everyone would expect that it would be certain that the third goal conceded.
The camera returned to the live broadcast room, He Wei said, "The first half was over, and everyone could see that facing the Chinese team's defensive defense, the Italian team played offensive football in the first half. They kept attacking the Chinese team's goal. From the scene, the Italian team is stronger and difficult to deal with than the Brazil team that played."
Director Zhang nodded and said, "It's true. Because it was still in the group stage when we were on the game, the Brazilian team had already advanced early. And Chen Feng did not play in the first half, so they generally played very easily and were afraid of being injured when fighting us. So, they played very conservatively in the first half. Now our game against Italy is a knockout match, and the Italian team also understands Chen Feng's strength, so naturally they want to expand the score as much as possible when Chen Feng is not present in the first half."
Haodong said: "From the first half, the gap between Italy and Brazil is still quite obvious. Especially in terms of offense, their attack power is obviously weaker than Brazil. So, as long as Chen Feng comes on the court in the second half, I want to win."
Fang Yi nodded and said, "I also think the strength of this Italian team is much worse than that of Brazil. In such a difficult situation in the last game, we can defeat Brazil by the advantage of two goals, and the Italian team is even less difficult."
He Wei laughed and said, "After all, our Chinese team will see Chen Feng's performance in the second half. I believe he will not disappoint us."
In the locker room, Forador was very dissatisfied with the performance of the Chinese team in the first half. He was angry and criticized several players on the spot by name. No wonder he was so angry. In his original plan and idea, although he focused on defense in the first half, he completely gave up the attack without saying it. Judging from the performance of the Chinese team in the first half, the Chinese team undoubtedly gave up the attack completely. Or, there was no courage to attack, soccer basically did not pass the half, and was completely pressed by the opponent in the penalty area. The scene could be said to be very ugly. This undoubtedly made the world laugh at, and at the same time he also felt that the coach of Forador was very average. It was strange that Forador was angry.
At the beginning, Jiang Ning, as a forward, was still in the opponent's half, but no teammate passed the ball to him. A few minutes later, he saw that the team's defender was overwhelmed by danger, so he had to retreat helplessly to participate in the defense. It was understandable that he did this, but this time he was also criticized by Forado. He said that his forward was incompetent and had no implementation of his tactical intentions at all.
In addition, the goal of the first half set by Forado for them was to concede one goal at most, but in the end they lost two goals. And this is due to the good luck of the Chinese team, and the opponent's shooting level is very average. Otherwise, there would definitely be more than two goals in the first half.
Not to mention the Chinese team's performance in the first half, domestic fans felt very depressed and cowardly, even the head coach Forado could not bear it.
After nearly five or six minutes of blasting, Forado stopped. At this time, Yang Tiesheng, as an assistant coach, also stood up and said with a serious look: "I know what you guys think. I think as long as Chen Feng goes in the second half, we will definitely win. Therefore, we will inevitably be a little relaxed in our hearts, and there will be big mistakes in the game. Chen Feng is one of us and a globally recognized super forward, but no matter how powerful he is, if you drag him down and be his teammates, do you still feel it doesn't matter. Do you feel very proud?"
Yang Tiesheng is an older generation of football players. He was also an old international player before, and his prestige in the team was higher than that of Forador. After he said this, the players who had some indifferent faces on their faces were also depressed with the others at this time.
Since playing against Brazil, the reputation of the Chinese teammates has spread. Especially on the Internet. If this is really said, it is really no wonder that everyone calls them that way. In the game, Chen Feng was almost killed by two pig teammates. Not only did he give the other party a penalty, he also scored an own goal. If Chen Feng hadn't been superman in the end, the Chinese team would have been eliminated.
Now in this knockout match, against the Italian team, judging from the performance in the first half, Chen Feng's teammates undoubtedly dragged him down again, gave the opponent a penalty again, and fell behind two goals. This undoubtedly increased Chen Feng's workload in the second half. With these two key games as examples, the reputation of the Chinese teammates is almost confirmed. Of course, everyone is a little depressed when thinking about this.
"You think and reflect on yourself, and ask yourself, did you really do your best in the first half? Did you drag Chen Feng down? Did you cause trouble for him?"
After Yang Tiesheng said this, everyone was speechless. Except for a few people who felt that they had a clear conscience, the other players were inevitably a little guilty.
Chen Feng was sitting quietly by the side to listen, but now he saw Yang Tiesheng say this, he couldn't come out and smooth things over.
"Coach Yang, although everyone's performance in the first half was not very good, it was not very bad. At least everyone also stayed with the opponent's shots more than a dozen times. If we hadn't worked together, we wouldn't have conceded only two goals in the first half. Of course, we did a little in the first half. I hope that in the second half, we could work harder in the second half, and I don't ask for anything else. I just hope that everyone can do more on the defense side. Let me have no worries when launching an attack at that time."
Of course, Chen Feng was also dissatisfied with his teammates' performance in the first half, but of course it was difficult to say it directly on the surface, so he could only express it in such a tactful way.
