The King of World Football Chapter 239: Chopping Melons and Vegetables
At 8:00 p.m. on July 17th, the Workers Stadium is brightly lit, where the opening game of the Asian Cup will be held, China VS Bahrain.
At the beginning of the game, Wang Feng sent a "condolence" to the small country in West Asia with a powerful long shot. China led 1:0!
The players in Bahrain were stunned. They haven't fully entered the state yet. After the kick-off, shouldn't they pass back to the backcourt for continuous kicks, and then slowly organize the attack?
Seeing their state, Wang Feng decisively wanted the ball to go up the court after the kick-off, and came to the front of the penalty area 30 meters away and shot a cold arrow suddenly, scoring a goal by surprise.
After taking the lead, Wang Feng frequently played for Li Jinhe and Li Yi on the front line, but unfortunately sometimes they were too slow to keep up, and sometimes their movements were deformed under the interference of defensive players, and their shots did not pose a threat .
Generally speaking, the Chinese team had both the lead and possession of the ball, so the players were relatively relaxed. Before the end of halftime, Li Yi finally seized the opportunity of Wang Feng's through ball to help the team expand the score.
The situation in the second half of the game changed again. Because the tactics that the head coach Alihan has always emphasized are high-position pressing and partial pass control, some players' physical fitness has declined seriously. Pass counter to get back a goal.
The teams before and after the goal were completely different. Wang Feng keenly felt that the mentality of the players had changed greatly. Inverted, hoping to keep the advantage.
For a long time, Wang Feng failed to get the ball, and Bahrain gradually let go, creating more offensive opportunities, hoping to equalize the score.
It can't go on like this! So Wang Feng retreated further to his own 30-meter area to ask for the ball. Sun Xiang hesitated for a moment, but still passed the ball to his feet.
Then he slowly dribbled the ball across the center line. Bahrain may still be thinking about how to attack next, so he only sent two central defenders to defend him. Control almost means, let Wang Feng come to the frontcourt easily.
Then there is nothing to say, Wang Feng accelerated suddenly, took the ball to the right with a big stride, and instantly got rid of one defender. The other was shocked when he saw this, and hurried forward to defend, but he was deceived by the fake action of sinking shoulders .
After going straight into the penalty area, he volleyed with his right foot and pierced the gate of Bahrain, 3:1!
This goal greatly boosted the morale of the players. The situation of a one-goal lead is completely different from a two-goal lead, and they realized that there is Wang Feng on the field to rely on!
In the final stage of the game, Wang Feng broke through from the right and passed into the penalty area. Li Jinyu immediately grabbed the spot and blocked the ball into the penalty area. The Chinese team beat Bahrain 4-1 and got off to a good start.
A big victory made the fans rejoice, but the head coach Arihan is still not satisfied, especially for the only conceded goal and the state of the second half.
For this reason, Wang Feng took the time to chat with the Dutchman. He euphemistically said that the high-position pressing tactics are very advanced, but whether the players can understand and whether their physical fitness and skills can keep up are big problems.
However, every coach has the technical and tactical characteristics of each coach. Alihan discussed with his technical team and felt that the tactical time can be allocated reasonably according to the physical condition.
In the second game against Indonesia, the weakest team in the group, the high pressing tactics worked very well, making it almost impossible for the opponent to leave their own half.
In the end, China won a 5-0 victory. Wang Feng contributed a pass and a shot, and was substituted very early.
Having won two consecutive victories, they have already qualified ahead of schedule. In the third round, they competed against Qatar for the first place in the group. Not long after the opening, Wang Feng launched another counterattack. He dribbled the ball into the penalty area and was tackled by the opposing defender.
The referee decisively awarded a yellow card + penalty kick. The moment Wang Feng fell to the ground, the fans in the stands and the coaching staff on the sidelines were frightened. They were afraid that he would be injured, but he quickly got up and waved his hands to indicate that he was fine.
Then Wang Feng personally took the penalty kick and hit the first goal for the Chinese team!
Next, Carta continued to adopt a rough defensive attitude towards Wang Feng, but this level of confrontation is a piece of cake compared with Serie A. What's even more funny is that they don't seem to understand the deterrence of Wang Feng's frontcourt set ball, or at all. Do not believe.
So Qatar gave the Chinese team five set-pieces in the front court, and Wang Feng did not disappoint them, hitting two of them.
Hat-trick, this is the first time Wang Feng has scored a hat-trick through free throws!
But Alihan on the sidelines was very worried, because Wang Feng always fell to the ground on his back, and he quickly replaced him after confirming the advantage.
The score of 3:0 was maintained until the end of the game, and the Chinese team won all three games and advanced to the quarterfinals!
Eight to four knockout rounds, China VS Iraq, this is also a traditional West Asian team, their physique and strength are much better than the average domestic players, but their foot skills are not as good as Iran, Saudi Arabia and other strong teams in West Asia, purely relying on hard work spell.
It is an impossible task for the Iraqi defense to block Wang Feng with technology, so they can only choose foul tactics like Qatar. They don't believe that Wang Feng can beat them to death with a free kick.
I'm sorry, but it's really okay. Among the 6 free kicks, he kicked a deciduous ball and hit the goal with a heavy shell, which once again let the Iraqis understand what it means to be the world's top scorer.
In the second half, he took a long-range free kick, and the ball drew a perfect arc in the air ~www.mtlnovel.com~ and hit Li Jinyu's head fiercely, refracting into the net.
3:0! After scoring the goal, Li Jin and his head were foggy, while Li Yi smiled and rubbed his head: "When did you practice such a powerful header? It's powerful, and the angle is tricky."
Really, have I practiced such a powerful header? Although it hurts a lot from being hit on the head, Li Jinyu who reacted was very excited.
Wang Feng smiled and said nothing, this was his first attempt, because his teammates' catch skills and finishing touches were always on the mend, so Wang Feng had a whim to see if he could use the principle of counter force refraction.
The goal just now was because he had estimated the angle and strength of the kick, and after kicking it, it hit Li Jinyu's head and bounced into the goal. It looked like a header, but in fact Li Jinyu didn't use any force. If you come to the top, you will definitely not be able to go in.
Of course, this kind of practice is too accidental, even Wang Feng is not sure that he can control it so well every time.
At the last moment of the game, Iraq relied on its tenacious spirit to get back a goal, but in the end it failed to change the fate of elimination, and the Chinese team advanced to the semi-finals!
Three group games and one knockout game. To be honest, the overall strength of the Chinese team is stronger than these teams. It is not a problem to have an advantage on the scene, but the striker cannot score. If the opponent counterattacks and scores one, it will be very good. Maybe the mentality burst and collapsed directly.
Wang Feng's joining just made up for the shortcomings. His fierce offensive firepower and rich offensive methods made the opponent's defense a headache, coupled with unsolvable free kicks, fouls can't be stopped, so in the end it was like cutting melons and vegetables, easily winning and advancing . +Bookmark+
