King of the Zone

In the 25th minute, Wu Xi made a header from Maitijiang Bianlu and was saved. Cheng Haibu shot into the net and scored twice, helping Huaguo lead Kyrgyzstan 2-0.

As Cheng Hai's supplementary shot flew into the net, the entire Tianhe Stadium fell into a sea of ​​carnival. Countless fans waved national flags and slogans in the stands, shouted Cheng Hai's name, and enjoyed the joy of leading by two goals.

In contrast, Kyrgyzstan is in a desperate situation.

The first game against Malaysia has already been lost, and the third game will face Japan, the most powerful team in this group. They must win this second game!

Therefore, Kyrgyzstan, which is in a desperate situation, has no choice. Even if they know that they may be counterattacked by the Hua Guo team, they can only press out and attack.

Otherwise, they will lose if they are behind by two goals.

However, everyone wants it.Facing Cheng Hai, who is the top striker in the five major European leagues, Kyrgyzstan's U23 team, what is the consequence of pressing out to attack.

As most people expected, Kyrgyzstan, who pressed to attack, was counterattacked in the 39th minute.

It was Cheng Hai who scored the goal.

When Kyrgyzstan was forced to step up its offense, in the 39th minute, Cheng Hai used his perfect off-ball movement to reverse offside, and after receiving a long pass from Wu Xi, he formed a single-handedly.

Facing the attacking goalkeeper, Cheng Hai made a relaxed lob shot, and the ball flew over the goalkeeper's head, and flew into Kyrgyzstan's goal without any suspense.

Cheng Hai completed his first career hat-trick and helped the Huaguo team take a 3-0 lead.

With 5 goals scored in two games, Cheng Hai has completely conquered all Huaguo fans.Everyone applauded and cheered enthusiastically in the stands, and shouted Cheng Hai's name, paying homage to him.

Cheng Hai, who started for the first time and wore the captain's armband for the first time, lived up to the expectations of his coaches and teammates, and even more so, the fans across the country.

Fans who watched the live broadcast in front of the computer watched and discussed in the comment area and forums:
"Damn it, I scored a hat-trick in the first half, Cheng Hai is so awesome!"

"Scoring 5 goals in two group matches, I am afraid that it is already possible to be the top scorer of the tournament!"

"Worthy of being a top striker in Europe, it's like a god blocking a Buddha, a god blocking a god!"

"Yes! This scoring efficiency is invincible in Asia!"

"It's so cool! My voice is hoarse!"

"Haha, me too, but it's really cool! It's the first time I watched a national football game so much fun!"

"That's right! If I played like this every time in the national football game, I would be willing to shout dumb every time!"

"It's impossible for the national football team. We can only hope for Cheng Hai. With Cheng Hai's game, it is possible to play like this."

……

A few minutes after Cheng Hai's hat-trick, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half. The two sides entered the intermission with a score of 3-0. The host Huaguo Guodao took a three-goal lead.

At the end of the game, although Cheng Hai hadn't completely collapsed, he was almost there.

Because it was his first start and first time as captain, Cheng Hai did his best.

Although the opponent's level of confrontation is not high, because the time is longer than the club's game, Cheng Hai's physical energy is still almost exhausted.

Therefore, after returning to the locker room, Cheng Hai was almost in a state of collapse.

Now Cheng Hai is obviously the most important person in the team, so as soon as he returned to the locker room, he was helped by the physiotherapist to the sofa, ready to let Cheng Hai lie down, and he gave Cheng Hai a massage.

Cheng Hai waved his hand and said, "Wait for me to drink some water."

Then, Cheng Hai drank some water, ate a banana, and said to the physical therapist surnamed Zhang: "Mr. Zhang, I'll take a nap, you just need to massage for me."

After finishing speaking, Cheng Hai lay down directly, let the system set up 10 minutes of dream training, and then fell into a deep sleep.

There was a slight snoring sound, and everyone in the locker room, including the coaches, players, and team doctor, was stunned.

After 45 minutes of fierce competition, Cheng Hai was able to fall asleep immediately?

Is this too fast?

The physical therapist looked at the head coach Sun Wei. Sun Wei touched his nose and said, "Uh, then you can press it for him!"

The physical therapist surnamed Zhang nodded and began to massage Cheng Hai, but the force was very light, as if he was afraid of waking Cheng Hai up.

As a result, no matter where he pressed, Cheng Hai didn't seem to notice anything, and seemed to be sleeping soundly.

The physical therapist gradually increased his strength, but Cheng Hai was still in a deep sleep, showing no signs of being woken up by the physical therapist.

There was a discussion in the locker room:
"Damn it, Cheng Hai sleeps so well? Fell asleep so quickly?"

"No wonder he was exhausted from training and competing every day, but he was still refreshed the next morning because he had rested so well."

"Yeah! To be honest, I didn't sleep well last night. I almost suffered from insomnia. I'm afraid I fell asleep for less than 4 hours."

"I really envy him!"

At this moment, Sun Wei looked at Cheng Hai, who was still snoring under the normal massage by the physical therapist, several years flashed through his mind, and then he made a decision.

Ten minutes later, when everyone started to worry about whether Cheng Hai would wake up to participate in the second half of the game from the initial envy of Cheng Hai's good sleep, Cheng Hai woke up naturally.

The physical therapist immediately asked pleasantly: "Cheng Hai, how are you doing? Do you feel better?"

The others also stared at Cheng Hai, wanting to know if Cheng Hai's 10 minutes of sleep and massage had restored some of his physical strength, and they would stick to it for another 10 [-] minutes in the second half.

Cheng Hai stood up and moved his body, stretched his muscles and bones, jumped twice, and then said with a smile: "I feel that my mental and physical fitness is very good now, and it will be no problem to persist for more than ten minutes."

Everyone was overjoyed immediately.

In the case of a 3-0 lead, Cheng Hai persisted for more than ten minutes in the second half, so that the opponent did not dare to completely let go and attack.

In that way, even if Cheng Hai was exhausted and replaced later, there would not be enough time for the opponent to equalize the score.

No matter how bad the Olympic team is, facing a team ranked lower than them like Kyrgyzstan, it is still no problem to hold a three-goal lead.

However, at this time, the head coach Sun Wei said: "Cheng Hai, in this way, you reduce the frequency and number of running without the ball in the second half, try to save your energy and stay in the frontcourt, and counterattack when you encounter an excellent opportunity. In this way, your physical fitness should last for more than 10 minutes. Even if you take a walk in the frontcourt, it will have a great effect on suppressing the opponent's defense, so that they dare not attack aggressively. Anyway, we are already leading by three goals. It’s over. When you can’t hold on physically, then notify us to change.”

Cheng Hai thought, now that the Hua Guo team is leading 3-0, there is really no need for him to score goals in the second half. As long as he stays on the field for a walk, he can threaten and suppress the opponent's defense and make his own goal safer.

Therefore, Cheng Hai nodded to express his understanding.

Soon, after Sun Wei understood the problems and tactical arrangements that everyone needed to pay attention to in the second half, it was time to play.

Amid the cheers of the fans, the second half of the game officially started.

During the intermission, Kyrgyzstan made a substitution, obviously wanting to strengthen the offense in the second half.

But no matter how they played, because Cheng Hai was still on the court, there were at least two or three people in their defense who did not dare to cross the center line to participate in the attack.

And once Wu Xi, Pu Cheng, Lu Wenjun and others come up one or two, the entire defense line of the opponent will have to retreat, and they dare not move at all.

Originally, the strength was not as good as that of the Huaguo team, and they did not dare to let go of the attack with all their strength. Such an offensive efficiency can be imagined.

The players in Kyrgyzstan do not have the skills of the Japanese team. Regardless of individual breakthroughs or teamwork, it is difficult to hit the penalty area of ​​the Huaguo team, let alone shoot.

On the other hand, it was the Hua Guo team. Although Cheng Hai spent most of his time walking, he could still run when an excellent opportunity presented itself.

Although his speed is not as good as these professional players, he can make up for this shortcoming with off-ball running, grabbing points, physique and so on.

What's more, even if he can't run out of a single-handed shot and is blocked by the opponent, Cheng Hai's 19-point dribble and Matthews' fake move may still allow him to break through and form a chance to shoot.

In the 62nd minute of the second half, Cheng Hai completed such a performance.

At this time, Cheng Hai had already played for 17 minutes in the second half, and the energy recovered during the intermission was almost exhausted.

Kyrgyzstan also saw that Cheng Hai was at the end of his strength, so he only kept two central defenders to mark Cheng Hai in the backcourt, and the two fullbacks crossed the center line and rushed to the frontcourt to participate in the attack.

After all, they were behind by three goals, and if they didn't press the attack across the board, there was really no possibility of evening at all.

However, at this moment, Kasyan, their frontcourt player who was holding the ball, didn't pay attention, and the ball was suddenly poked away by Lu Peng, who was defending him closely.

The ball rolled to the front of the backing winger Lu Wenjun.

In the front court, at the moment when Lu Peng poked the ball away, Cheng Hai keenly sensed that there was a possible opportunity at this time, and immediately turned around and made a sprint towards the opponent's penalty area.

The two central defenders of Kyrgyzstan were a step slower and failed to stop Cheng Hai.

Just when Cheng Hai was about to cross the defensive line formed by the two defenders, Lu Wenjun in the backcourt did not stop the ball from Lu Peng's poke, and directly kicked the ball to the frontcourt with a big kick.

Cheng Hai succeeded in countering offside and was not offside.

However, Cheng Hai's speed was indeed too slow.

Although he used his full-value stopping technique to stop the high-altitude ball steadily at the front of the penalty area, one of the central defenders had already chased him in front of him and blocked his way.

Another central defender also rushed to his side and began to interfere with him by pushing and pulling.

Of course, with Cheng Hai's full physique, a height of 178cm, and a weight of 70kg, this Kyrgyzstan defender cannot be pulled or pushed down.

Cheng Hai's body was as stable as Mount Tai.

Moreover, the 19-point dribbling allows him to control the ball at his feet without being poked by the defender.

However, the central defender blocking the way in front of him is a big problem.

And there must be the opponent's full-backs and midfielders chasing after him. If Cheng Hai delays for too long, he will lose this opportunity to counterattack.

Although his stamina had been almost exhausted, Cheng Hai's identity as a Huaguo and the responsibility of the captain's armband on his arm made Cheng Hai explode with powerful energy at this moment.

Cheng Hai held the ball forward while carrying the pull and push of the defender on his side. The opposing defender in front of him retreated and got stuck. Just when the opponent retreated to the top of the penalty area and was about to retreat into the penalty area, Cheng Hai suddenly made a breakthrough to the left.

Cheng Hai's deterrence was too strong. In the blink of an eye, the other party didn't have time to think whether Cheng Hai was making a real move or a fake move. The center of gravity of his body almost subconsciously tilted to the left.

But in the next moment, Cheng Hai shifted the ball to the right.

Matthews feints.

The 19-point skill made Cheng Hai's action very realistic.Even when someone was interfering with him, Cheng Hai shook the last central defender in front of him to reveal a gap, allowing Cheng Hai to enter the penalty area from the right.

Although the opponent reacted immediately, turned around and shoveled towards the ball at Cheng Hai's feet, Cheng Hai's shot was even more decisive.

Before the opponent's toes were in place, Cheng Hai immediately took a shot with the push of the defenders around him when he got the space to shoot.

The ball jumped out in an instant, passed in front of the toes of the last defender who fell to the ground, and rushed towards the lower right corner of the goal.

After finishing the shot, Cheng Hai also lost his center of gravity and was knocked down in the penalty area by two defenders.

But at this time it is useless.

Cheng Hai has already completed the shooting action.

Goalkeeper Agapov was already ready to make a save. The moment he saw Cheng Hai shoot the ball, he judged the path of the ball and threw it out.

However, the angle of the ball kicked by Cheng Hai's full shooting skills was too tricky, and Agapov tried his best but couldn't get it.

Under the watchful eyes of countless fans on the spot and in front of the TV, the ball stuck to the right post and went into Giljesstein's goal.

In the 62nd minute of the second half, Cheng Hai scored another goal, completed the big four, and helped the Huaguo team lead Kyrgyzstan 4-0 by a large margin.

This ball completely killed all the suspense in this game.

Even if Cheng Hai goes off immediately, it is impossible for Kyrgyzstan to equalize the difference of four goals in the remaining time.

Therefore, the entire Tianhe Stadium completely boiled over, all Huaguo fans stood up, applauded, shouted, screamed excitedly, shouted Cheng Hai's name, and paid homage to him.

On the court, all the teammates of the Olympic team, including the goalkeeper Wang Dalei, also rushed up one after another, excitedly throwing Cheng Haila on the ground and stacking arhats to celebrate.

The coaches, substitutes, team doctors and other staff on the sidelines also hugged together to celebrate Cheng Hai's goal and the upcoming victory of the Hua Guo team.

In the commentary seat, the CCTV-5 commentator roared in an extremely crazy voice:
"The ball is in, it's in, it's in, it's in..."

"Cheng Hai scored again!"

"Big Four! Cheng Hai completed his Big Four!"

"In the 62nd minute, Cheng Hai completed the big four and helped the Olympic team lead Kyrgyzstan 4-0, completely killing all the suspense in this game!"

"The Olympic team will win!"

"Looking at the state of the Kyrgyz players, they have lost any courage to struggle."

Indeed, before Cheng Hai scored this goal, Kyrgyzstan was still insisting on attacking, retaining a glimmer of hope for an equalizer.

After all, there are many examples in football that came back from a three-goal deficit in a game.

But trailing by four goals and trying to come back with only 30 minutes left in the game is a dream!

Even if there was, it certainly wasn't this game.

Kyrgyzstan itself is not as strong as the Huaguo team, and it is still four goals behind. There is no suspense in this game!
The players in Kyrgyzstan completely surrendered and surrendered. Looking at Cheng Hai and the players of the Hua Guo Olympic team who were celebrating wildly, they did not make any protest against the Hua Guo team celebrating for too long.

Later, we saw that the Hua Guo team celebrated for about 1 minute, which was too long. The referee stepped forward to intervene and let Cheng Hai and others end the celebration, and returned to their own half, waiting for Kyrgyzstan to open the ball.

In the next game, Cheng Hai really walked completely, and he was no longer physically fit to run, sprint, or break through.

But even so, Kyrgyzstan did not take this opportunity to attack aggressively.

They have already thrown in the towel.

In the 70th minute, after Cheng Hai played for 25 minutes in the second half, he finally couldn't even take a walk, and had to make a substitution gesture to the coach off the field.

When Cheng Hai handed over the captain's armband to Lu Peng and was replaced, all the fans stood up and gave Cheng Hai thunderous applause.

After Cheng Hai left the field, Kyrgyzstan seemed to wake up from a dream and started to attack again.

However, this attack was not trying to equalize the score, but simply wanted to score a goal to save a little face.

Considering the physical fitness of other players, the head coach did not let the Olympic team continue to attack, but slowed down the offensive and strengthened the defense until the end of the game.

In the 86th minute, Kyrgyzstan scored a header through a corner kick and tied the score at 1-4. Finally, they were not kicked bald and saved a little face.

After 3 minutes of stoppage time, the game ended. The Hua Guo Olympic team beat Kyrgyzstan 4-1 in the second round of the men's football group stage of the Asian Games and won the first victory in the group stage.

After the game, Cheng Hai naturally won the best player on the spot evaluation by the system and the best player on the spot award with 5 experience.

Including the goal award and the winning award, Cheng Hai won a total of 35 experience rewards in this game, and the total experience reached 20/51.34 million at level 100.

After the two rounds of the group stage, Japan's U23 team has already qualified ahead of the group stage with 6 points in both games. Hua Guo and Malaysia are ranked second and third with 3 points. Hua Guo ranks second with a goal difference advantage.

However, in addition to the direct qualification of the top two in the group, there are still four best-performing group thirds who can qualify. Kyrgyzstan has not lost the theoretical possibility of qualifying. They only need to beat Japan by a big score in the final round.

Although that possibility is quite low, there is a theoretical possibility that it might not be after all.
