Chinese champion

Chapter 440
The ball flew to Zhu Jun on the left as accurately as a refined guided missile. Although Ecuador's right back Guaigua had been instructed by the head coach before the game, he had to be careful of the Chinese team's breakthrough on the left of Zhu Jun in the counterattack, but beware It's all about defense. If you can prevent the opponent's breakthrough just by being on guard, then it's better for the offensive players not to mix up.

Even though he was well prepared, Guaigua still did not expect that Hu Yong's long pass could cooperate so well with Zhu Jun's forward pace. Zhu Jun just stretched out his foot and put a pad under the ball, and the ball jumped up and passed Guaigua. Egua's head, and then Zhu Jun turned sideways and rushed past Gu Egua. When Gu Egua turned around to defend, Zhu Jun had already gone far.

Zhu Jun, who got rid of the opponent, continued to take a few steps forward. Seeing that Zhuang Feng had already charged up, he immediately stopped the ball, and then slanted the ball into the penalty area at a 45-degree angle!
While running, Zhuang Feng jumped high and headed towards the ball!
Fortunately, Mendes was there to interfere. Zhuang Feng's header was not very comfortable, and was barely saved by Ecuador's goalkeeper Villaferti.

The Chinese fans in the stands sighed, but they immediately applauded for the attack.

Pei Wei originally followed Zhuang Feng to pick up a miss, but when he saw the ball went out of the baseline, he immediately ran over to prepare for a free throw.

Li Min, Du Wei and others ran up one after another. Set-pieces have always been a very effective means for the Chinese team to score. The two central defenders have strong header ability. A well-rounded shooter with excellent header ability.

Off the court, Suarez's heart shrank into a ball. He had been suppressing the Chinese team just now so that they didn't attack and didn't feel anything. At this time, the Chinese team's offensive immediately made him feel nervous.

"Pay attention to defense..."

Before Suarez finished his words, he saw that Pei Wei had already taken a corner kick, a beautiful arc, and goalkeepers generally dare not attack in the face of this kind of cross.

Mendes has been closely following Zhuang Feng, but the moment the ball came out, Zhuang Feng suddenly accelerated and dived into the crowd, Hu Yong blocked him intentionally or unintentionally, when he bypassed Hu Yong and was about to When they continued to chase Zhuang Feng, they saw Zhuang Feng jumping high!
Zhuang Feng's jumping ability is fully displayed on this ball. Although he is only 1.8 meters tall, he can jump higher than everyone else!

When his forward momentum reached its peak, the ball arrived in front of him just in time, almost no need to make any adjustments, Zhuang Feng shook his head, and his forehead hit the speeding ball fiercely!
"Shua!" The sound of the ball hitting the net.

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL—"

"nice shot!"

"The ball is in!"

Various languages ​​rang out from the live seats in the stands of the stadium, and CCTV commentator Wang Jianxiang yelled the loudest: "Pei Wei took a corner kick, Zhuang Feng jumped up and scored with a header! The goal has been scored! The goal has been scored! Goalkeeper Villa from Ecuador Fawlty didn't even have a reaction, a beautiful shot! After being passive at the beginning, the Chinese team scored with the second shot! The cooperation from Inter Milan's twin stars! Pei Wei's pass, Zhuang Feng's shot! This duo swept Europe last season and now they're aiming for the world!"

Zhuang Feng let out a roar and swung his fist aggressively into the air. This action caused the Chinese fans in the stands to cheer again. Then he ran to Pei Wei in the corner area and hugged him tightly. Together.

Wang Xiaomin flattened her mouth in the back: "Is there any mistake? I am obviously one of them. Together, they belong to the Troika of Inter Milan. Why do you only mention them but ignore me? I want to protest... "

Hu Yong patted him on the shoulder: "It's enough for you to score one goal, and I guarantee that the commentator will call out the troika! Hehe!"

Wang Xiaomin rolled his eyes. Everyone knows that it is harder for him to score goals than to reach the sky. Hu Yong said that it is completely embarrassing for him.

But everyone was obviously in a good mood after scoring the goal. You know, even Hu Yong started joking, which is rare to see.

**************************************
Mendes stood helplessly on the ground with his hands on his hips.

As soon as the World Cup is over, he will report to Inter Milan, and in his opinion, being able to compete with three of Inter Milan's main players is a god-given opportunity, especially in the match against Inter Milan's number one player. In the face-to-face confrontation of shooter Zhuang Feng, if he performed well, then he would add an important weight to his main position after arriving at Inter Milan, right?
That's what he thought, and he did the same thing, but up to now Zhuang Feng scored a goal with only two shots. The first time his defense was barely successful, but the second time he failed completely very.

But don't be discouraged!I am the new hope of Ecuadorian football, and I will soon set foot on the plane to Europe, where I will break into my own piece of sky!How can the future Inter Milan main central defender be depressed because of one failure?
Mendes secretly cheered himself up and regained his spirits.

Pei Wei walked back with Zhuang Feng's shoulders on his shoulders, and said with a smile as he walked, "Hey, that kid named Mendez heard that he will be our teammate next season, he was the one who defended you just now, do you think he How is your strength?"

Zhuang Feng snorted with a cold face: "It's not bad... His physical fitness is quite good. I didn't expect him to be so strong when he shot the goal for the first time, so I suffered a little loss, but... His experience is still good. It’s a little bit close, there are not only one-on-one matches on the football field, and next, I will teach him a good lesson.”

Pei Wei stuck out his tongue and mourned for this young defender. Zhuang Feng has always had the habit of testing the strength of his future teammates in the game. The two international defenders Dainelli and Kompa who transferred before last season Not long after they just reported for duty, they all suffered from Zhuang Feng on the training ground. You must know that they were already 25 or 20 years old when they came to Inter Milan, and they have been in Europe for so long. Feng was completely disgraced, let alone this [-]-year-old young man who had no experience in a European competition.

I hope he will not lose confidence in his own strength after this game, otherwise Moratti's investment of several million will be in vain.

He Jin sat on the coach's bench as steadily as Mount Tai. He just sat there and clapped his hands for the goal just now, which formed a sharp contrast with the excited substitute players and assistant coaches around him.

In He Jin's opinion, there is no need to be too excited about such a goal. The strength of the Chinese team's players is far superior to that of the opponent, and the overall strength is also much higher than the opponent. Perhaps it is because of the tacit cooperation of the players. It's a little worse than Ecuador, but it's just because they don't have too many games together and they seem a little strange. As the game progresses, it will definitely get better and better, not to mention that there is such a glue in the team as Pei Wei, Don't need to worry too much.

In the case of far surpassing the opponent in all aspects, if the game cannot be won, there are only two possibilities. Either the players are not performing properly, or the opponent's luck is so good that you can't beat the opponent no matter how you fight. The extent of scoring with just one shot, but obviously today's game does not belong to the above two situations.

**********************************************
Ecuador, which was behind, was not convinced. They felt that their strength was no worse than that of the Chinese team. It was only due to luck that they could not score after a burst of attack, but the opponent scored as soon as they counterattacked.

After the kick-off they re-launched the attack, of course, the heavy responsibility of organizing the attack still fell on their core midfielder Valencia.

After receiving the ball from the midfielder, Valencia controlled the ball under his feet and kept looking around, trying to find a gap for the pass.

The result of the observation made him a little discouraged. Both forwards were under the close marking of the Chinese defenders. Although they had worked hard to move, they still couldn't get rid of the Chinese defenders' marking.

Seeing that Hu Yong was pressing forward, Valencia had no other choice. Having lost the way of passing the ball, he could only rely on his personal breakthrough to bring the team a turning point.

But Hu Yong was not so polite this time, he quickly pushed forward forcefully, first forced Valencia to lose his balance with strong force, then stretched his long legs, and hooked the ball from under Valencia's feet down.

Valencia signaled that Hu Yong had fouled, but the referee ignored him and ran forward to chase the ball. This is a normal physical confrontation.

This time, Hu Yong didn't give it to Zhu Jun on the left, but passed it diagonally to Zhang Qi, who was cruising near the center circle. Originally, the Chinese team is good at flying on both wings. There are two world-class wide players. If you don't, you're a fool.

Zhang Qi forcibly broke through one of the opponent's defenders, then played a two-for-one with Pei Wei, broke through the bottom line, and then made a cross. Dong Yuzhuo was about to shoot in front of the goal, but was shoveled by another Ecuadorian defender. go out.

The situation that made the Ecuadorian goalkeeper Villaferti fearful appeared. Pei Wei appeared in front of the ball and turned his left foot!

"Block him, don't let him shoot!" Villaferti yelled loudly. Although he had never personally experienced Pei Wei's shooting, he had seen on TV that those colleagues who played in the five major leagues suffered from Pei Wei in the game. This kind of fast, powerful and angled shooting is undoubtedly a nightmare for any goalkeeper. Villaferti naturally hopes that the less he encounters this experience, the better.

The two players attacked from the front and back at the same time, Pei Wei suddenly changed his shot to a pass, and the ball went over the guards' heads!
Zhuang Feng shot in from the back row like an arrow, and shot straight without stopping the ball!
The ball brushed the post slightly and went out of the baseline, which shocked Villaferti into a cold sweat.

Zhuang Feng shook his head regretfully and ran back. He was very active during this time, taking the first three shots of the Chinese team and scoring one goal. Pei Wei seemed a little silent.

However, he was still a little dissatisfied. He felt that when he was in good condition, he could score at least two of these three shots. Now he only scored one. It seems that his shooting skills still need to be honed.

Mendes bit his lip and looked at Zhuang Feng's back with a gloomy expression on his face.

Don't blame me this time, it's because Pei Wei passed the ball so well, who knew that his realistic shot was just a fake move?

"Why are you still in a daze, it's our turn to attack!" Captain Herdado pushed him.

"Oh." Mendez woke up with a start, responded quickly, and ran forward with the captain.

**************************************
The Chinese team's offense is getting more and more fierce. Ecuador's offense did not pose any threat. Valencia, the source of the offense, was completely strangled by Hu Yong. The two veteran forwards, Cavides and Borga, were younger. The Chinese defenders in the previous section had no advantage at all, and could only watch helplessly as the Chinese team's offensive players continued to stir up trouble in their own half.

There are no underdogs in the World Cup, which actually means that those teams with relatively average strength will have one or two players with outstanding abilities as the core to attack. As long as they play well, these so-called weak teams are no better than Zhong Xingyun The rich teams in the set perform poorly, but if they are marked to death, this kind of team will show its true colors.

The current situation is like this. With Valencia being marked to death, Ecuador has lost the ability to attack, and it is not surprising that they are passive on the scene.

Zhang Qi's cross, Zhu Jun's breakthrough, Dong Yuzhuo's stealth shot, Hu Yong's long shot... plus a Zhuang Feng who is elusive in the penalty area, and Pei Wei who is omnipotent inside and outside the penalty area, the Chinese team is in a good position. Unscrupulously practicing their various tactics.

However, Ecuador's defense is quite competitive. Under such an all-round blow, although it seems to be crumbling, it did not allow the Chinese team to continue to expand the score.

During this period of time, Mendes performed very well. With enough teammates around him, he fully demonstrated his excellent frontal defense ability. He cleared the ball several times before Dong Yuzhuo and Zhuang Feng shot, allowing Chinese fans They kept sighing.

During this period, Ecuador also launched several counterattacks, but all of them were resolved by the defense line of the Chinese team, which was waiting in full swing. Wu Qi also blocked the few shots.

After a period of onslaught, the Chinese team slowed down their offensive pace. After all, the onslaught just now not only overwhelmed Ecuador, but also consumed a lot of energy for the Chinese team itself. Energy drained.

Relieved, Ecuador launched an attack again. There is no way. Now they are falling behind. If they don’t attack, there is no way out. This is the cruelty of the World Cup schedule. Unlike the league, they can give up a certain game to strive for greater benefits. , in the World Cup, even if it is as strong as Brazil, they dare not start to save their strength in the first game of the group stage, even if the opponent is a team that is not strong. Never mind.

The two sides competed in the midfield, and Ecuador had no choice. As soon as their offense advanced to the midfield, they were immediately blocked by Hu Yong. The Chinese team was willing to put more competition in the midfield, because this is The strongest of their three lines is not inferior to South American teams such as Brazil and Argentina, not to mention a small Ecuador.

Facing Hu Yong's defense this time, Valencia has learned his lesson. He no longer tries to get rid of Hu Yong through a personal breakthrough, but prepares to cooperate with his teammates before attacking, but this time the pass fails again. There was a mistake, the ball was tackled by Zhang Qi who was returning to the defense, and the rolled ball was caught by Hu Yong. He did not let the ball stay under his feet for a second, but directly pushed it obliquely to Zhu Jun on the left.

"Back to defense!"

Guaigua, who had seen the power of Zhu Jun's rapid breakthrough from the wing, immediately ran back quickly. He no longer expected to be able to interrupt the ball in the frontal defense-it was too difficult. He chose to fight and retreat. Try to delay the Chinese team's counterattack time as much as possible to create opportunities for teammates to return to defense.

But Zhu Jun did not continue to break through. After dribbling the ball past the midfield, he immediately made a cross pass and gave it to Pei Wei in the middle.

Pei Wei took two steps forward, broke through a defender, and then made a through pass to Zhuang Feng in front.

Mendes walked up to him cautiously. His outstanding performance just now made him regain his confidence. Although he knew that Zhuang Feng's personal breakthrough ability was very strong and his speed was also fast, his turn around was also very fast, so he was confident that he would not Easily get rid of by Zhuang Feng.

Zhuang Feng dribbled the ball forward at high speed. When he was about to approach Mendes, his right shoulder suddenly sank, pretending to break through the middle, and then flicked the ball to the left to break through to the edge of the penalty area!
Mendes had been prepared for a long time. Anyway, he is also the one Inter Milan is looking for. He will definitely not be far behind. He was not confused by Zhuang Feng's fake moves, but he noticed Zhuang Feng immediately. In the direction of the real breakthrough, he immediately made a half-turn and squeezed towards Zhuang Feng. At the same time, he reached out to covertly pull Zhuang Feng's jersey to slow down his progress.

Being pulled by him, Zhuang Feng's speed really slowed down. Mendes was overjoyed and stretched out his foot to steal the ball!

But he was obviously happy too early, Zhuang Feng stopped suddenly, controlled the ball to his feet, then pushed the ball lightly, and pushed the ball to the feet of Zhu Jun on the wing!

Zhu Jun didn't stop the ball, but pushed a ground ball directly to the front of the penalty area!
Mendes only had time to turn around, and saw the ball rolled to where he was standing just now, and at the same time, Pei Wei also ran to that place, and Ecuador's defense line was immediately torn open!

"It turns out that Zhuang Feng's breakthrough just now was just to attract himself to this place!"

Mendes felt that he was simply a big fool who easily fell into the other party's trap without knowing it, and was still complacent that he had discovered the real direction of Zhuang Feng's breakthrough.

Pei Wei received the ball and continued to break into the penalty area. Now only the goalkeeper and defender Hurdado are left in the penalty area of ​​Ecuador. It's obviously still a long way from defending Pei Wei.

Quickly throwing the ball horizontally, he got rid of Herdado who was rushing towards him. Now only the goalkeeper is left in front of Pei Wei.

With a roar, Villaferti rushed out of the door, fighting hard!No matter how powerful your shot is, Pei Wei will save the ball even if you knock him out!It's okay to fall behind by one goal in the first half, but it's not good to fall behind by two goals!

Pei Wei did not use a strong shot to deal with this courageous goalkeeper, but looked up at Villaferti who was attacking, stretched out his feet and gently picked under the ball, his movements were light and agile, without a trace of fireworks .

The ball drew a beautiful arc in the small penalty area, flew over the head of Villaferti who had fallen to the ground, and then fell gently...

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! 2:0! The Chinese team expanded the score! World Footballer Pei Wei's first goal in this World Cup! After helping Zhuang Feng open the scoring, he couldn't help but receive a pass from Zhu Jun Later, he personally expanded the score! Beautiful shot! Ecuador became the first victim of Pei Wei's shot!"

After scoring the goal, Pei Wei kissed the wedding ring worn on the ring finger of his left hand. After getting married, this gesture has become his signature celebration after scoring a goal. Some people laughed at him and said that this gesture was completely copied from Spain. Er, he has no sense of innovation at all, Pei Wei just smiled, he just wants to do according to his own mind, no matter what other people think about him.

Then he pointed to Zhu Jun who was running towards him to assist him, and turned around with a smile. Zhu Jun jumped on his back and waved his fist towards the stands.

"2:0, before the end of the first half, the Chinese team expanded the score, but what is even more gratifying is that the mentality of the international players is very relaxed. They are simply playing the World Cup as an ordinary league... No , it’s like playing as a team training game, from this aspect, the current Chinese team really has the demeanor of a world-class team!”
