Chapter 133 Sai Weng Lost His Horse
Hot, windless, Dortmund, Germany.

"Asian Derby!"

Such cowhide booming words would definitely cause countless people to laugh at them in normal times.But to meet in the quarter-finals of the World Cup is obviously different.

As a strong Asian team, the Chinese team won glory for countless Asians this time and successfully reached the quarterfinals.The Australian team is also a strong team. After joining the AFC, they also reached the quarter-finals of the World Cup for the first time.

Although the weather was sweltering, the stands were full of seats.The countless Chinese fans who came to the scene brought the game to a climax before it even started.

"Boom boom boom!"

The booming war drum was like thunder, and the sound resounded through the audience.In every corner of the stands, fans wearing Chinese flags can be seen.They held trumpets and whistles in their hands, and painted the national flag of the Chinese team on their faces with a fanatical expression.

"The players from the Chinese team will come out next!" At the scene, the German host introduced the situation of the players who entered the field.Next to him, a Chinese was specially invited to translate.

"This is the No. [-] goalkeeper of the Chinese team, Xie Fei!"

"This is the third defender of the Chinese team, Deng Lei!"

When the host called Zhou Xing, he paused for a moment and said, "Everyone told me that the next player to play is the number ten of the Chinese team—!"

"Zhou Xing!"

For a time, the name resounded throughout the audience.This huge shout reached an astonishing 180 decibels, and almost toppled the roof of Dortmund Stadium.

Hearing the fans shouting his name enthusiastically, Zhou Xing also showed a bright smile on his face.When he raised his hands to pay tribute to the fans in the stadium, there was another huge cheer from the stands.

As the core of the Chinese team, the young Zhou Xing showed the world his outstanding football talent time and time again.Now he is not only galloping in La Liga, but also appearing on the big stage of the World Cup, and his prestige is even greater.On the scoring list, his series of beautiful goals are still deeply remembered by countless fans.

Whether it is the local fans in Germany or the fans of the Australian team, they all gave warm applause to this new talented boy in the world football world.

Such a warm welcome ceremony made Meng Qingtao who was next to him feel a little jealous: "Hey, a world-class player is amazing. When I have that skill, I will definitely win so many victories."

Although he couldn't hide the envy in his tone, he also understood.All of this was obtained by Zhou Xing relying on his own strength.Without outstanding skills, there is no high reputation.Players who perform poorly can only get criticism in front of the discerning eyes of the audience.

Zhou Xing twisted his waist a few times to warm up.After the game with the Italian team, his state has not been able to adjust back.The bloody battle with the Italian team consumed too much of his energy.

The referee called the captains of the two teams to the center of the court, ready to kick off.Viduka, the captain of the Australian team, is tall and strong, with excellent skills, and he is also a player not to be underestimated.

Unlike China, most of Australia's players play in England.Strong style, excellent technology.There is something special about steals and shots.

It's just that like the Chinese team, they don't have much experience in competitions, and it's the first time they have entered such a good ranking.Like the Chinese team, they can also be regarded as a group of dark horses, all the way to the top eight.

After the national anthem of the People's Republic of China was played, the competition officially started.This time, the Chinese team wore white jerseys, while the Australian team wore their traditional yellow jerseys.

With the whistle from the referee from Germany, the game officially began.This time, the Australian team kicked off first, attacking from right to left.

From the very beginning, the Chinese team felt the pressure from the Australian team.The Australian team pays attention to quick play and simplicity.After their defender gets the ball, a long pass can quickly launch a fast break.

Only 2 minutes into the game, Australian team captain Viduka kicked the goal and flew out of the baseline, making goalkeeper Xie Fei break out in a cold sweat.

"Pay attention to defense!"

Xie Fei signaled the Chinese team members to guard carefully and not let the Australian team easily get a long-range shot.The footballs in this World Cup are very light. The weight of the team star is much lighter than that of ordinary footballs, and the flight trajectory is not very stable, making it difficult for the goalkeeper to make effective saves.

"Understood!" Deng Lei and Zhang Bin nodded. The central defender combination of these two partners performed very stably in the game.The Chinese team's ability to enter the quarterfinals is also inseparable from their outstanding performance.

Xie Fei made a big kick and passed the football to the midfield.Cheng Dao headed the ball to the top and pushed the football to Zhou Xing's feet, making the audience outside the field excited and clamoring.

Zhou Xing lightly unloaded the football and stopped it at his feet. When he was about to break through, a strong force came from behind him, causing him to fall to the ground involuntarily.

"Flute, foul!"

The referee blew the whistle in a hurry and gave the Chinese team a free kick in the frontcourt.Zhou Xing shook his head, a pain in his back made him a little depressed.

"I'm out of shape today!"

According to his usual level, he will definitely pull horizontally and then make a breakthrough.But today, the action seems to be a little slower.It was that little bit of time that allowed the Australian team to defend him.

Zhou Xing kicked a curve ball with his left foot and hoisted the football to the front of the Australian team's penalty area.Yang Fan took off with a big stride, rushed ahead of the Australian team players, grabbed the first point, and with a powerful header, pushed the football towards the Australian team's goal.It's just that the top of the ball is a bit positive, and the Australian goalkeeper got it.

Like the Chinese team, Australia also gave up the test.At the beginning of the game, they started a fierce offense, and the conversion of offense and defense was very fast, which was dazzling.

They created several dangerous situations in the frontcourt, and the defenders of the Chinese team teamed up to resolve them one by one.

During this period of time, the Chinese team's offense has not improved.Since the opening 10 minutes, the Chinese team has not made any threatening attacks.

As the core of the offense, Zhou Xing doesn't have much room to move.

Seeing Zhou Xing dribbling the ball, the Australian team will take foul actions to slow down the Chinese team's offensive rhythm.And Zhou Xing, who has not fully recovered, has to endure repeated violations by his opponents.

"It's really depressing!"

Zhou Xing was knocked down by the Australian team members again, and finally got up from the ground with a lot of grass clippings on his body, which was very depressing.

"I won't lose!" Zhou Xing held back the anger in his heart, chose to pass the ball to Meng Qingtao's feet, and made a two-for-one cooperation with his teammates.

Meng Qingtao made a diagonal thrust in an instant, and a through ball passed the football to the front of the Australian team's penalty area.In front of the penalty area, Zhou Xing dunked and shot, but the ball was far above the crossbar.

At this time, even people with bad eyes know that the core of the Chinese team's offense is not in the state.The fans in the stands looked at Zhou Xing's running back, feeling anxious in their hearts.

"Is he injured?"

"Did you play too many games and lose your stamina?"

Listening to the audience's discussion, Qin Lu and Chen Yao were also extremely anxious.At the VIP table, Qin Lu said anxiously: "Sister Chen, Zhou Xing is injured, why is his performance a little abnormal today?"

Chen Yao was a little anxious, but to comfort Qin Lu, she said, "Maybe it was arranged by the coach, or it might be to confuse the opponent."

Standing on the sidelines, Zhu Guang felt a little worried when he saw that his beloved disciple had fallen into a low ebb.In a football game, it is impossible for players to be in a state of orgasm at any time.Today, Zhou Xing is in a difficult period.If he wants to get out of the trough, he needs to rely on his own strength.

"Zhou Xing, pass the ball more, don't force yourself so much." Watching his captain's abnormal performance, Ji Weihao reminded standing in front.

Zhou Xing nodded. Although he wanted to go it alone at this time, it was obviously not the time to be willful.The honor of the country is more important than oneself.

"I get it, I'm not that stupid."

Thinking of this, Zhou Xing speeded up his feet and passed the ball as fast as possible.Compared with the speed of the Australian team, his passing is not inferior.Just blindly seeking speed, the number of mistakes has also increased a lot.

With the Chinese team's offense in trouble, the Australian team began to attack wildly. No. In the 13th minute, Viduka, the number one star of the Australian team, made a strong shot from 30 meters in the penalty area, but Xie Fei pushed it out of the crossbar, allowing them to get a corner kick.

On set kicks, the head coach of the Australian team formulated a lot of tactics.In terms of height advantage, they are much better than the Chinese team.They are strong and strong, and they have certain advantages in fighting for headers.

The corner kick was taken, a low spin that the goalkeeper would find difficult to save.Before the back line came and kicked, the captain of the Australian team Viduka hooked the ball with the back of his foot, causing the football to fly behind him.

At the back point, Zhou Kai was about to clear the siege with his big foot. Unexpectedly, Cahill of the Australian team had already raised his thigh and volleyed hard, causing the football to fly towards the goal of the Chinese team.

Although the penalty area of ​​the Chinese team is full of people, the angle and trajectory of the football are very strange.The football is like an elf, heading towards the goal guarded by Xie Fei.

Xie Fei tried his best to stretch his body, but he couldn't touch the football. He could only watch the football heading towards the blind corner of the Chinese team's goal.But at this moment, a foot stretched out in front of the goal and lightly blocked it.

"boom!"

The football hit the man's foot, bounced off the outside of the post, and missed the goal.Then, Zhou Kai, who followed up to defend, kicked the football out of the sideline with a big kick.

At this time, I saw Zhou Xing standing in front of the goal with a smile on his face.Due to his poor form, he chose to defend.Unexpectedly, he saved the Chinese team in front of the goal.If he is in good condition, I am afraid he will not return to his own half-court defense at all.

"It's not a blessing in disguise!" Relying on his sensitive sense of smell in front of the goal, Zhou Xing judged the Australian team's offensive line in advance.

All the players on the field were a little dazzled by the series of changes just now.In front of the penalty area, the players of the Chinese team were still a little dazed.

"Pay attention to defense and be optimistic about your own people!"

Zhou Xing's shout revived the Chinese team and returned to their respective positions to resist the new attack of the Australian team.

"Since I'm out of shape, I'll choose to defend." Zhou Xing stared at Viduka, the core of the Australian team's offense, and said silently in his heart.
