King of the Zone

Chapter 72 Semifinal against South Korea

In the middle, because of Cheng Hai's poor passing skills, he failed to give enough lead, so Qu Bo had to slow down to catch the ball, and then he was pasted by the back chasing defender.

But Qu Bo didn't panic, and there was no need to panic.

Because, before receiving the ball, he had already seen Cheng Hai, who was passing the ball, bypass the two defenders defending him and run to the front.

Therefore, Qu Bo did not try to catch the ball and dribble into the penalty area to break the goal. Instead, he did not stop the ball and sent the ball directly to the front of Cheng Hai's running position.

Qu Bo's passing was a bit more reliable than Cheng Hai's, allowing Cheng Hai to catch the ball without slowing down, so that the two defenders who followed closely behind him could not go around in front of him to block the way.

In fact, this is Cheng Hai and Qu Bo's wall-hitting cooperation, but the passing distance is a bit far away.

The next thing was simple. Cheng Hai dribbled the ball into the penalty area by colliding with the wall to form a single shot. Facing the frightened goalkeeper Sha Fei, he shot a low shot into the far corner. Sha Fei, who was focused on the near end, could only freeze in place in the end, turned her head and watched the ball rush into the far goal in despair.

In the 42nd minute, Cheng Hai scored a hat-trick to extend the score to 4-0.

When Cheng Hai formed a single sword, the Huaguo fans in the stands had already stood up.

When the ball flew into the net, all Huaguo fans applauded excitedly, shouted Cheng Hai's name, and worshiped him.

The CCTV-5 commentator on the commentary seat also shouted excitedly:

"The ball is in!"

"Cheng Hai once again got a one-handed chance through a counterattack and broke the goal of the Jordan team!"

"Cheng Hai scored another hat-trick and helped Huaguo lead 4-0."

"Although the first half is not over yet, we can be sure that the game has ended early."

"The Huaguo team, which leads by four goals, cannot be reversed by the Jordan team!"

Yes, everyone knows that the difference of four goals is like a natural moat in a football match. Even the players of the Jordan team are desperate.

Cheng Hai and his teammates celebrated for more than half a minute. No one from the Jordan team protested to the referee that the Hua Guo team celebrated for too long. In the end, the referee couldn't stand it anymore and took the initiative to intervene, allowing the Hua Guo team to end the celebration and return to their own half. Let the Jordan team open the ball.

After the game restarted, the Jordan team, who had been completely knocked out, did not launch a counterattack. They just played lazily and were almost scored by Cheng Hai's long-range shot from outside the penalty area.

If the goalkeeper hadn't played well and saved the ball, he might have lost the ball again.

Even so, when the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half, the players of the Jordan team were all dejected when they left the field, looking completely defeated.

The Hua Guo team returned to the locker room amid the applause and cheers of 3 Chinese and overseas Chinese fans.

During the intermission, both the commentator and the guests were basically sure that there would be no surprises in this game. The Hua Guo team would definitely defeat Jordan and advance to the semi-finals. It only depends on whether the Jordan team can score a goal or two in the second half to save a little bit of face.

As a result, after the start of the second half, the Jordan team really took off.

Maybe it was something the head coach said during the intermission, which boosted morale. The mental outlook of the Jordan team was quite different from that at the end of the first half.

Taking advantage of the opening of the second half, when the players of the Hua Guo team were still a little excited and did not enter the game state, they launched wave after wave of onslaught.

Finally, in the 53rd minute, the Jordan team used a free kick in the frontcourt to hoist the ball into the penalty area. Their forward Abdul grabbed the first point and shook his head to attack the goal, and the ball headed into the Hua Guo team's goal.

Jordan finally pulled one back to make it 1-4, only three goals behind.

The fans of the Jordanian team in the stands were finally able to celebrate loudly after being aggrieved for most of the halftime.

This goal boosted the morale of the Jordan team and seemed to see the possibility of a miracle.

After all, in the history of football, there has been a history of scoring 6 goals in 3 minutes, and it is theoretically possible to equalize with almost 40 minutes left.

Of course, this requires the Jordan team to go all out and put all their efforts into attacking.

It is definitely not enough if there are fewer people. They do not have a superstar like Cheng Hai, and even their main striker is injured and absent. Without arrows, they can only rely on collective strength to break through the Hua Guo team's defense.

As for Cheng Hai's counterattack?
I can't care about that much for now.

After the game restarted, the Jordanian team really broke the boat and put all their eggs in one basket. Almost all members of the Jordan team overwhelmed the midfield line to participate in the attack, and sometimes even only left a central defender by Cheng Hai's side to defend.

When such a picture appears, the ending is already doomed.

Cheng Hai's full value of running without the ball, grabbing points, acceleration, speed, etc. is not a vegetarian.

The goal scored by the Jordan team before can only be said to be the luck of the Jordanians, but the Hua Guo team, which has Cheng Hai, a top European striker, definitely beats Jordan in terms of offensive and counterattack capabilities.

So, when the time came to the 61st minute, the Hua Guo team once again played a quick counterattack. Finally, after receiving Zheng Zhi's pass, Cheng Hai broke through the last defender and entered the penalty area to hit the far corner. It was a matter of course.

The score between the two sides has become 5-1, and the Huaguo team once again leads by four goals.

Cheng Hai staged his first big four in the Asian Cup in Qatar. The total goals in 4 games have reached 12, averaging three goals per game, which is simply appalling.

The moment Cheng Hai kicked the ball into the goal, even the commentator of Qatar National Television, who was supposed to be neutral, exclaimed:

"The ball is in!"

"Oh my god, Cheng Hai scored again!"

"Big Four! The first Big Four in this Asian Cup was born. Cheng Hai from the Hua Guo team, Cheng Hai completed the Big Four in 61 minutes!"

"The Hua Guo team leads the Jordan team 5-1. The game is completely over. Jordan cannot have any chance to equalize and reverse the game."

"It's too shocking! It's so powerful! It's totally reasonable for us to lose to Huaguo in the group stage. We didn't lose to the Huaguo national team, but we lost to Cheng Hai."

"Now, Cheng Hai has played four games in the Asian Cup, and his total goals have reached 12, with an average of 3 goals per game, which is simply jaw-dropping!"

"Other strikers can achieve an average efficiency of more than 0.5 goals per game. As a result, Cheng Hai averaged 3 goals per game. This is an impressive efficiency in any historical period and in any competition."

"There is no doubt that Cheng Hai is the top striker in the world today. Although he is only 18 years old and has only been in professional football for less than a year, the number of goals and efficiency he has scored in less than a year is enough to make countless world-class strikers ashamed!"

Indeed, Cheng Hai's goal not only made the Chinese and overseas Chinese fans in the stands applaud, but even the neutral Qatari fans and even some of the Jordanian fans who were enemies applauded for him.

Cheng Hai's world-class performance deserves everyone's respect and admiration.

After the game restarted, the morale and fighting spirit that the Jordan team had been inspired by the head coach during the intermission completely disappeared.

The reality of being behind by four goals cannot be smoothed out by any stories and words. All Jordan players have accepted the fact that they will be eliminated.

In the 70th minute, when Cheng Hai was replaced, there was thunderous applause from the stands again. Numerous fans applauded Cheng Hai and gave him the highest respect for his performance today.

Although Cheng Hai had left the field, the Jordanian players on the field did not launch a counterattack.

Because the gap is too large, they know that even a counterattack is useless.

The two sides began to grind foreign labor on the court to delay the time.

At the 90th minute, the referee saw that the trailing Jordan team had no intention of playing, let alone launching a counterattack or trying to score a goal, so they didn't even give stoppage time, and directly blew the whistle to end the game.

The Hua Guo team advanced to the semi-finals with their 5-1 victory over the Jordan team in the quarter-finals.

When the referee's whistle blew, Cheng Hai was undoubtedly the best player on the spot in the game by the system.

加上进球奖、赢球奖等等,程海的等级经验就上涨到了22级326.21万/300万,自动升级为23级26.21万/500万,并奖励了程海30个技能点的升级奖励,技能点余额为33个。

However, in terms of upgrading skills, Cheng Hai was unlucky. The goalkeeper skill "GK Position" was randomly activated, with an initial attribute of 3.

This means that the goalkeeper chooses the best position subconsciously without thinking.The higher the attribute of this skill, of course, the more reasonable the position is, and it is easier to catch the opponent's shot.

For the goalkeeper, if this skill is added to the full value, it can obviously turn decay into magic, and dissolve many opponents' attacks invisible, as if the opponent's shot is directly sent to him.

But for Cheng Hai, who is now a striker, this skill is useless, and his skill points will not be wasted on this skill.

Since there are no new skills that require skill points, Cheng Hai can use the 30 skill points gained from the upgrade to head and bounce.

他花10个技能点将17的头球加到19,然后分别花10个技能点将19的弹跳和头球都加到了20满值状态,将这次升级获得的30个技能点全部花光,技能点余额仍然为3。

……

After the match against Jordan, the news of Cheng Hai's fourth-highest performance received wider coverage around the world.

After all, Cheng Hai has already entered the knockout round at this time, and Cheng Hai can still stage a big four, which is enough to prove his strength.

Cheng Hai is regarded by many people as Asia's No. [-] striker, and even the title of the world's No. [-] striker has come out.

Of course, Cheng Hai would not admit this, it was too offensive.At present, he does not have any championships or personal honors in Europe, and he cannot bear such a nickname, even if his scoring efficiency is the first in the world at this time.

On the second day, the other two semi-finals were decided. Australia VS Iraq and Iran VS South Korea were both tied 90-0 within 0 minutes, and the winner was not decided until overtime.

In the end, Japan, China, Australia, and South Korea entered the semi-finals.

In addition to China, the other three teams are all Asian hegemons.

Australia is a frequent visitor to the World Cup, but it is extremely difficult for the Hua Guo team to hit the World Cup every time.

Japan and South Korea are the winners of the Asian Cup, and there is no problem calling them Asian hegemons.

The Hua Guo team's opponent in the semi-finals is South Korea.

Speaking of Korean football, Huaguo fans must have mixed feelings, and all kinds of feelings come to their hearts.

Since 1978, the Huaguo national football team has never defeated the South Korean national football team in an official game. It lasted until 2010 last year, when Gao Hongbo's national team scored 3-0 in the East Asian semi-finals.

But for the game last year, Koreans don't believe it. They think that the South Korean national football team is composed of second-team players, and it is normal to lose to the Hua Guo team.

Such rhetoric naturally made Huaguo fans quite upset. Everyone was holding their breath and wanted to teach the Koreans another lesson.

During the Asian Games, the National Olympic team led by Cheng Hai defeated the South Korean National Olympic Team by a score of 3-2 in the quarter-finals, which bankrupted their plan to be exempted from military service through the Asian Games, which greatly boosted morale.

But that was a contest at the U23 level of the Olympic team, not a real contest between the first-line players of the two national teams.

And this time in the semi-finals of the Asian Cup, South Korea will definitely play the main force.If the South Korean team loses to Huaguo again this time, there will be no reason to look for it.

Before the game, the two sides naturally had a big war of words.

The media and fans of the Huaguo team said that this time they will defeat South Korea in an upright manner, leaving the Koreans speechless.

The Koreans said that only Cheng Hai was enough to watch the Hua Guo team, and they had found a way to contain Cheng Hai.

As long as Cheng Hai is restrained, it will be easy for the South Korean team to beat the Hua Guo team.

Cheng Hai said in an interview that there are many teams that want to limit him, but the South Korean team is certainly not included.

Park Ji-sung, the number one star of the Korean team, immediately fought back. The Korean team will use their overall strength to defeat Huaguo and advance to the final.

The quarrel between the two sides continued until the semi-finals came.

2011年1月25日下午16:25,在可以容纳5万名观众的哈里发体育场,随着主裁判的一声哨响,2011年卡塔尔亚洲杯半决赛第一场华国VS韩国的比赛正式开始。

After the Jordan team was beaten 5-1 by the Huaguo team in the opening game, the South Korean team learned a lesson and did not shrink the defense in the opening stage.

As they planned before the game, they believed that the overall strength of the South Korean team was higher than that of the Chinese team.

As long as they play the game according to their own rhythm and strive for more goals, even if Cheng Hai scores one or two goals, it doesn't matter to the overall situation, as long as they score more goals than the Hua Guo team.

What's more, for Cheng Hai, they also made a targeted defensive deployment, and they will not easily let Cheng Hai run out of space and score.

South Korea's tactic is to take the initiative to attack.

Therefore, after the start of the game, the two sides tried a little bit. After the Hua Guo team discovered the opponent's tactics, they retreated decisively and launched a defensive counterattack.

With Cheng Hai's full speed, defensive counterattack is actually the most suitable for him to play.

As long as he gets a chance to fight back, I believe Cheng Hai will give his opponent a fatal blow.

However, before Cheng Hai gave the Korean team a fatal blow, the Huaguo team had to withstand the Korean team's attack first.

Indeed, as the Koreans said, except for Cheng Hai, the Huaguo team's overall strength is not as good as that of the Korean team.

When all members of the South Korean team pressed forward and took the initiative to attack, the Huaguo team's defense became quite tight.

Even if Cheng Hai drew the attention of two or three defensive players of the opponent and prevented them from stepping forward to participate in the attack, the Korean team's Park Ji-sung, Ki Sung-yong and others in the frontcourt alone were enough to make the Huaguo team flustered.

Fortunately, after this period of competition and training, the Huaguo team's confidence and support have increased a lot. In the first few minutes of defense, there were no mistakes to give the South Korean team a chance.

It wasn't until the 6th minute that the South Korean team barely managed a shot from outside the penalty area. The angle was slightly right, and it was easily saved by goalkeeper Yang Zhi.

The next corner kick did not make any waves, and the South Korean team continued to attack.

However, no one can really keep the ball at their feet all the time.Even though the overall strength of the Korean team is stronger than that of the Huaguo team without Cheng Hai, the Korean team does not have an overwhelming technical advantage.

In the 9th minute, Zhao Xuri made a precise and sudden tackle from the side, breaking the South Korean team's possession.

The ball shoveled away by Zhao Xuri fell at Zheng Zhi's feet.

At this time, Cheng Hai, who has full skills of running without the ball and grabbing points, has realized that this is an opportunity to counterattack, so he is ready to go offside to catch the ball.

As a result, at the moment before Zheng Zhi passed the ball, when Cheng Hai was rushing towards the South Korean team's penalty area and was about to turn offside, the two Korean defenders Cho Rong-hyung and Hwang Jae-won who were trailing behind did not step back to intercept Cheng Hai, but suddenly took a step forward together.

It was their step forward that put Cheng Hai in an offside position the moment Zheng Zhi passed the ball.

Although Zheng Zhi made a good pass and Cheng Hai caught the ball smoothly, the linesman's flag had already been raised.

Cheng Hai was offside.

This counterattack was unsuccessful.

Cheng Hai frowned, looked at the complacent Korean players, and thought to himself:

"Could it be that the way you prevent me from counterattacking is to create offside?"

"If you really do this, then I would like to thank you!"

"Next, I'll let you see how powerful a full-value off-ball movement is in anti-offside!"
