King of the Zone

In the constant offensive attempts, in the 14th minute, Marcelo staged a good winger one-stop performance.

He dribbled the ball all the way from the wing, passed two players, Cao Yunding and Wu Xi, and then made a pass from the bottom, ready to watch the team's top scorer Damian in the middle to grab a goal.

Damion's performance in this Olympic Games is very eye-catching. He has scored 6 goals in the first five games. He is the top scorer in the Brazilian team and is the No.2 scorer list of this Olympic Games under Cheng Hai.

Therefore, Marcelo very much hopes that the ball he passed can be grabbed by Damiang and complete the goal.

As a result, the ball passed by Marcelo himself was not high enough. Before it flew into the middle of the penalty area where Damian was, it landed at the front point. The Chinese defender Li Jianbin pushed the ball out of the penalty area before Neymar and cleared the siege.

Not only was it a clearance, but there was no one around Li Jianbin except for Neymar. Neymar was not tall enough and his body was not strong, so Li Jianbin was well prepared when he headed the ball to clear the siege. He aimed at the direction of his teammates and pushed the ball out.

Cheng Hai, who was seven or eight meters ahead, was more prepared.

His full-value off-the-ball running position, vision, and ability to grab points make him better at judging where the ball will land than Marcelo, a passer.

Therefore, the moment after Marcelo passed the ball, Cheng Hai had a premonition that his ball was likely to be pushed out by his teammate Li Jianbin.

So Cheng Hai immediately threw away the Brazilian players around him and ran into the space on the right.

Sure enough, Marcelo's pass was immediately pushed out by Li Jianbin. Cheng Hai's full-value stop technique allowed him to unload the ball smoothly while running, and then went to the direction of the Brazilian half to launch a quick counterattack.

At this time, Marcelo desperately returned to defense as if he had just woken up from a dream, but he still couldn't catch up with Cheng Hai.

With the world's best speed and full dribbling ability, even if Cheng Hai runs with the ball, his speed is faster than Marcelo's return to defense.

Marcelo, who boldly advanced to assist the bottom line, paid the price for the defensive loopholes behind him.

Cheng Hai dashed forward with the ball, and only at the center line did he meet the central defender Juan who rushed to defend from the center.

Juan came aggressively, and the moment he approached, he threw his whole body out, making a flying shovel movement, as if he wanted to stop Cheng Hai even if he made a foul.

However, Cheng Hai's dribbling ability and judgment are stronger than Juan's.

The moment Juan flew over to shovel, Cheng Hai, who was running with the ball, made a Marseille maneuver like flowing water.

Juan, who flew forward and shoveled, opened his mouth wide, slid past Cheng Hai, and rolled out of the sideline.

However, after turning 360 degrees, Cheng Hai dribbled the ball towards Brazil's penalty area, and cut in obliquely while rushing, aiming directly at the goal.

Originally, Marcelo, who used Cheng Hai to do the Marseille maneuver, slowed down a little and had already chased behind Cheng Hai, was thrown away by Cheng Hai again.

The center is at the same level as Cheng Hai. Another Brazilian central defender, Thiago Silva, who was marking Dong Xuesheng, even though he had already dropped Dong Xuesheng, came to defend Cheng Hai diagonally, trying to stop Cheng Hai.

But Cheng Hai's speed was too fast.

Silva can no longer stop Cheng Hai, and Cheng Hai has formed a de facto single-handedly.

Sure enough, when he dribbled the ball forward for more than ten meters and came outside the penalty area, Silva, who defended him, failed to catch Cheng Hai. He was more than one meter behind Cheng Hai, and he couldn't even make a foul.

Cheng Hai's single-handed opportunity appeared.

Countless Huaguo fans stood up in the stands and in front of the TV, held their breath, and waited for Cheng Hai's single-handed shot.

The commentators in the commentary booth widened their eyes to see the result of Cheng Hai's single-handed counterattack.

The fans of the Brazilian team naturally booed loudly, hoping to interfere with Cheng Hai and make him fly the ball.

But Cheng Hai's shooting skills are really disappointing.

The angle occupied by the goalkeeper couldn't block Cheng Hai's shot at all.

Facing the goalkeeper Gabriel who had already attacked into the penalty area, Cheng Hai kicked the near corner fiercely.

It would definitely be too late to pounce with his hands, Gabriel sat down reflexively, trying to block the ball with his feet.

However, Cheng Hai's shooting skills were too good, the ball flew past more than ten centimeters in front of his toes, and then rubbed against the near post and entered the goal.

In the 14th minute of the first half, the Huaguo team took advantage of the gap left by the Brazilian full-back Marcelo's assist, and Cheng Hai hit a long-distance attack of more than 60 meters to counterattack and scored twice to help the Huaguo team take a 2-0 lead.

The entire Cardiff Millennium Stadium erupted in an instant, and the Huaguo fans and Cheng Hai fans erupted in huge applause and cheers, and countless people shouted Cheng Hai's name and paid homage to him.

In less than 15 minutes, he scored twice and the Hua Guo team led 2-0. Whether it was Cheng Hai's performance or the score on the field, everyone was shocked.

Even the most optimistic Huaguo fans did not expect that they would lead 15-star Brazil 2-0 in the opening [-] minutes.

As for those commentators who are more optimistic about Brazil, they are even more unbelievable.

The goal lost in the opening 6 seconds can be regarded as a sneak attack by the Chinese, but this attack was completely caused by Marcelo's own defensive loopholes after he assisted up. No one can blame it.

This is a perfect long-distance attack, quick counterattack.

The Brazilian commentator explained in disbelief:
"Oh my God, we lost the ball again!"

"It's Cheng Hai's goal again!"

"Cheng Hai scored twice and scored two goals in the opening 15 minutes, leaving us behind by two goals!"

"Shame, absolute shame!"

"The biggest responsibility for this conceded goal lies with Marcelo!"

"He thought it was cool to stage a one-stop breakthrough from the wing, but in fact he exposed the vast loopholes left behind to Cheng Hai."

"If he had dribbled the ball past the first player, Cao Yunding, passed the ball, and then returned to his position to defend, there would be no such conceded goal."

"Marcelo can't help but want to step forward and assist, which has become the culprit for our two goals behind."

"Of course, even as an opponent, I still have to praise Cheng Hai, he is really too strong."

"Whether it is the goal in the opening 6 seconds or the long-distance attack in this counterattack, it is quite beautiful."

"Especially the Marseille roundabout in the middle, and the precise shot that went straight to the dead corner at the end, all showed Cheng Haimiao's extraordinary skills and shooting skills."

"And Cheng Hai's unsparing defense in the midfield is also an important reason why the Hua Guo team has not conceded a goal."

"Even though Dortmund offered Cheng Hai the highest salary in the world, I still think: Dortmund made a lot of money."

"The reward Cheng Hai will bring to Dortmund next season will definitely far exceed this salary."

Cheng Hai's counterattack goal not only excited the fans of Huaguo, but also shocked the commentators. The players of the Brazilian team were also a little dumbfounded.

As some commentators said, the goal lost in the opening 6 seconds can be said to be a surprise attack by the Huaguo team and was caught off guard, but the second goal should not have been scored by the Huaguo team's counterattack.

Most importantly, they have conceded two goals now.

This is not a group match, this is the final, a game that determines the outcome.

The gap between the two balls is already huge in a football match.It is really not easy to stage a big reversal when two goals behind.

Especially when the Hua Guo team still has Cheng Hai as a counterattack artifact, the Brazilian team, which is two goals behind, wants to attack aggressively, and it will inevitably face the threat of Cheng Hai's counterattack.

The Brazilian players who thought that the Hua Guo team's overall strength was weak and they could win easily, now their mentality has collapsed.

However, after the game restarted, the Brazilian team never dared to attack as aggressively as before.

Especially Marcelo, even if the coaches and teammates didn't blame him, he didn't dare to assist too deep, and at most participated in the backcourt.

It was Cheng Hai's counterattack that frightened them.

It is two goals behind itself. If it loses another goal, the Brazilian team can directly admit defeat.

Therefore, under the reminder of the head coach, the Brazilian players did not aggressively press the offense after the re-kick-off, but defended their defense first, and then attacked slowly.

The head coach is very sober, and the Brazilian team must not concede the ball again.As long as you lose the ball again, you will definitely die.

The wise decision of the head coach of the Brazilian team can be regarded as temporarily saving the team. In the following time, the Hua Guo team did not play a threatening attack.

Because of the huge threat of the Brazilian team, Cheng Hai didn't dare to move forward. He had to help defend and prevent the Brazilian team from attacking.

The same goes for the rest of the Huaguo team. With a two-goal lead, it is natural to focus on defense and strive to maintain the two-goal lead until the end of the game.

What's more, with the offensive abilities of Cao Yunding, Rao Weihui, and Dong Xuesheng, without the help of Cheng Hai, even if they attack, most of them will waste the ball.

After the game slowed down for about ten minutes, after more than 30 minutes, the Brazilian team adjusted their mentality and started to attack again.

However, the offensive point is mainly the players in the midfield, the midfielder and the back line, basically did not cross the center line to participate in the attack.

Even so, the personal skills of the Brazilian players and the combination of passing and cutting made the Hua Guo team's defense look very embarrassed.

Especially Neymar, his speed and breakthrough skills made the players of the Huaguo team feel a little helpless, and the Huaguo players finally felt the powerlessness of other opponents when they faced Cheng Hai.

Although Neymar's comprehensive strength is definitely far inferior to Cheng Hai, it is definitely more than enough to deal with the Asian U23-level defenders of the Hua Guo team.

Fortunately, the Huaguo team's defense line was deep and they had an advantage in numbers. Under the deterrence of Cheng Hai's counterattack, the Brazilian team's midfielders did not dare to press too far forward, which left Neymar with less support. After all, he still failed to score in the first half.

The most threatening time was when Neymar cut in and shot from the wing, made an arc, and kicked the ball to the far corner of the goal.

The ball successfully bypassed goalkeeper Wang Dalei's cross, but the ball finally bounced off the far post.

The ball then bounced back and landed right in front of Brazilian center forward Damião who charged into the six-yard box.

Perhaps it was unexpected that such a good opportunity would suddenly appear. Facing the goalkeeper Wang Dalei who had already fallen to the ground and formed a large empty goal, Damian kicked a kick 4 meters in front of the goal like a reflex, and it flew high over the crossbar.

The Brazilian fans who had stood up and were about to celebrate the goal suddenly felt mournful and let out a loud sigh.

Damion in front of the goal also knelt down on the grass in front of the goal with a "plop" in disbelief, watching the ball fly behind the goal, holding his head with his hands and showing an expression of disbelief.

Only the applause and cheers of Huaguo fans after the catastrophe remained in the audience.

Whether it was Neymar's cut-in shot or Damian's supplementary shot, the fans of Huaguo players broke into a cold sweat.

Fortunately, this was Brazil's best chance to score in the first half.After missing this opportunity, the Brazilian team was never able to shoot a threatening shot in front of the iron barrel bus array put up by the Hua Guo team.

After 1 minute of stoppage time, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half. The two sides entered the intermission with a 2-0 score. The Huaguo team led Brazil with two goals scored by Cheng Hai.

After a 15-minute intermission, both the Hua Guo team and the Brazil team made substitution adjustments.

Brazil removed a midfielder and replaced it with a more aggressive attacking player.

The Huaguo team removed Cao Yunding, who was better at attacking than defending, and replaced him with Jiang Jiajun, who was better at defending, to strengthen the defense.

The goals of both sides are very clear. The Brazilian team, which is two goals behind, needs to strengthen its offense, while the Huaguo team strives to maintain the two-goal lead until the end of the game.

After the start of the second half of the game, although the Brazilian team often maintained a defensive force of three or four people in the backcourt, the offensive personnel in the frontcourt was seriously insufficient.

But the Brazilian players also worked hard, frequently staged one-on-one breakthroughs.

Especially Neymar, in the 52nd minute, even used bicycles, spikes, Matthews fake moves, etc. to pass four people in a small space near the penalty area, and finally completed the goal.

Fortunately, at the moment of hitting the goal, Neymar was interfered by Zhang Linpeng, and he was not sure where he touched the ball, and finally kicked the ball out of the baseline against the post.

Hua Guo team escaped unharmed.

However, when the Brazilian team aggressively attacked, the Huaguo team was not idle.

Cheng Hai, in particular, has always maintained the mentality of sprinting and counterattacking at any time.If there is no chance, let it go. Once the opportunity arises, he will strive to score another goal to completely seal the victory and win the championship.

Finally, when the time came to the 72nd minute, this opportunity appeared.

When the Brazilian team's attack in the frontcourt made a pass error under the joint pressure of the Chinese players, and the ball was intercepted by the Chinese team, Cheng Hai found that the Brazilian goalkeeper Gabriel was standing a little forward and was standing on the penalty area line.

Perhaps it was the long time behind that made him a little anxious, a little eager to try, and wanted to get closer to the frontcourt.

But his position allowed Cheng Hai to find a good opportunity to take advantage of.

The moment Maitijiang intercepted the opponent's wrong pass, Cheng Hai ran towards the space four or five meters away from the side while pointing.

Mai Tijiang understood, although he didn't know what Cheng Hai was going to do, but he pushed the ball to the gap between Cheng Hai's fingers in cooperation.

Then, everyone at the scene and in front of the TV saw that Cheng Hai swung his thighs while running, and at a distance of more than 50 meters from the Brazil team's goal, he passed the ball along Maitijiang. With a big foot, he kicked the ball directly towards the Brazil team's goal.

When Cheng Hai ran towards the direction where Mai Tijiang passed the ball, Gabriel didn't realize what Cheng Hai was going to do, thinking that Cheng Hai would just catch the ball and run long distances!

Therefore, he just took two steps back slowly and did not get back to the goal line in time.

By the time he saw Cheng Hai's shot, it was already too late.

Although Cheng Hai's shot was far away, Cheng Hai's full shot power made his shot not an erratic high-altitude ball, but a half-high ball with great power and speed.

Moreover, Cheng Hai's shooting skills also played perfectly in this ultra-long-range lob, without missing the goal.

The ball quickly flew over half of the field, and when Gabriel had just retreated to the small penalty area line, it passed over his head and fell into the goal.

Gabriel barely made contact with the ball in a hasty jump on the way back, and then watched the ball fall in front of him and into the goal.

Cheng Hai took advantage of the mistake of the Brazilian goalkeeper in the front position, scored a ground-breaking ultra-long-range lob, staged a hat-trick to help the Chinese team lead Brazil 3-0, and completely sealed the victory.

Immediately, the Huaguo fans at the scene and in front of the TV all screamed and cheered excitedly.

Everyone knows what this ball means.

Even Cheng Hai himself couldn't restrain the excitement in his heart, and rushed to the sidelines to hug the coaches and players on the bench.

The entire team, including goalkeeper Wang Dalei, as well as the sideline coaches, substitute players, team doctor, etc., all jumped together excitedly, wildly celebrating the goal that sealed the victory.

The commentators on the commentary booth also explained in disbelief:

"Gooooooooooooooooooooal..."

"hat trick!"

"Cheng Hai scored a hat-trick in the Olympic final!"

"It's unbelievable that under the leadership of Cheng Hai, the Hua Guo team beat the Brazil team 3-0!!!"

"The Hua Guo team is about to defeat Brazil and win the men's football championship in the 2012 London Olympics."

"This is something no one thought of before the game!"

"Someone might have guessed that the Huaguo team would win the championship and that Cheng Hai could score a goal, but no one would have guessed the score of 3-0, right?"

"The Brazilian team was conceded three goals by the Hua Guo team when the scene was completely dominant, but they failed to score a single goal!"

"This does not prove that the Brazilian team's offense is not good, or that the Hua Guo team's defense is impeccable. It can only prove that Cheng Hai's personal strength is too strong!"

"Although his defense is not as conspicuous as his offensive hat-trick, we can see from Cheng Hai's running distance far beyond others, how much Cheng Hai has contributed to defense."

"Originally the Brazilian team didn't have many offensive players, and under Cheng Hai's frantic mopping and defense, the fluency of personal breakthroughs and passing and cutting cooperation was greatly affected."

"So Brazil hasn't scored a single goal until now."

"It can be said that Cheng Hai's strength and contribution on both offensive and defensive ends are among the top in the world."

"And Cheng Hai, as the world's number one superstar, came to play in the U23 Olympics. It really feels like cutting melons and vegetables, even if the five-star Brazil can't stand it."

"Perhaps, we can only see if the super giants such as Brazil, Germany, Spain, and Italy in the adult teams in the World Cup can restrain Cheng Hai's crazy performance."
