Chapter 517
"Bai Sang, don't mention that name, I can't bear it at all!" Ono Shinji who came over also extended his hand and shook Bai Xiaotian. "I thought I would have a showdown with Bai Sang in the European Super Cup, but I didn't expect to be able to play against Bai Sang in advance. I have to say that this is my honor!"

"Haha, then you have to work hard, next year Eindhoven will still be very strong!"

"I'll wait and see!" Ono Shinji's eyes lit up.

Shinji Ono has always been known as Japan's "Beckham". In the summer of 2001, he was brought to the Eredivisie Feyenoord because of the upsurge of European scouts attacking East Asia on a large scale.

In the several games between PSV and Feyenoord, Shinji Ono sat on the bench most of the time, so Bai Xiaotian didn't have the impression of the two playing against each other.

However, in the 2002 UEFA Champions League qualifying match between Feyenoord and Turkey's Fenerbahce, Feyenoord eliminated the opponent with two goals scored by Shinji Ono in two rounds.This made Fenerbahçe's rival Galatasaray rejoice, the media enthusiastically praised Shinji Ono, and even appeared on the poster of the Galatasaray club "Shinji Ono: One of us".And the "Istanbul" hero is what his teammates and fans call him.

After the three of them had a brief chat about the transfer, they returned to the half that had just been decided and waited for the serve.

Before Bai Xiaotian reached the middle circle, Qu Bo came over and asked, "Xiaotian, I didn't expect you to know bird language? What did you say to those Japanese? Are you chatting so happily?"

Looking at Qu Bo's typical angry youth eyes, and sensing the disdain in Qu Bo's tone, Bai Xiaotian shook his head.

Ethnic hatred should be kept in mind and reminded of oneself at all times, rather than being discussed frequently.

In football, the Chinese team lags behind.But if you don’t admit that you are behind, or if you don’t work hard and study hard, you still feel that you are superior to others, then it is wrong.

Bai Xiaotian didn't say anything, but patted Qu Bo's shoulder and said: "Kick it well, just pass it on time."

After the whistle of the famous Italian bald referee Krina, Bai Xiaotian deftly passed the ball to Yang Chen who was on the side.

"Friends in the audience, the eighth-final match between the Chinese team and the Japanese team has begun."

"Due to the heavy rain in Japan two hours before the game, the field is relatively slippery now. The light rain is still falling. In such an environment, the Chinese players carefully controlled the ball and looked for gaps in the defense of the Japanese team."

"The two teams are old rivals. The last time the two teams met was in the semi-finals of the Asian Cup in 2000. At that time, the Japanese team defeated the Chinese team 3-2 and successfully advanced to the Asian Cup final."

"Many members of the Chinese team participated in that game. It can be said that the two teams are very familiar with each other."

"But what is different about the Chinese team this time is that there is an extra Bai Xiaotian on the front line."

"It's impossible for Troussier not to know Bai Xiaotian's threat, so from the very beginning, it can be seen that the entire Japanese team retreated, as if they were adapting to the Chinese team's attack."

"Bai Xiaotian!"

With Huang Jianxiang's roar, Qu Bo accelerated away Japanese captain Tsuneyasu Miyamoto and sent a through ball into the penalty area.

But because the through ball sent was closer to the goalkeeper, Kawaguchi, who made a timely attack, was able to attack and hug the ball before Bai Xiaotian touched it.

"It's almost there! If Qu Bo's passing was a little bit weaker, maybe the Chinese team would have gotten off to a fantastic start!"

"That's right. If Bai Xiaotian can touch the ball first, it won't be a problem to break through Kawaguchi's gate with Bai Xiaotian's strength." Director Zhang also echoed.

Seeing that the Japanese team gave up the midfield first, the national football players boldly attacked.Even Li Datou occasionally rushed into the opponent's penalty area to compete for a header. For a while, the red formed a siege against the blue.

In the 9th minute of the game, Bai Xiaotian received a pass from Qi Hong with his back in the middle.But instead of passing the ball back to play a two-on-one with Qi Hong, he made a gesture and turned his body in the opposite direction to get rid of the Japanese naturalized player Sanduzhu.

"Pass!" Huang Jianxiang and Bai Xiaotian said in unison.

Sensing the unbalanced center of gravity of the Lord of the Three Capitals, Bai Xiaotian was overjoyed.Hastily took a step, intending to take it to the front court.

But at this moment, a foot appeared in front of the ball in time, tripping Bai Xiaotian to the ground through the ball.

"Beep!"

When the whistle sounded, Rickner ran over and awarded a free kick to the Chinese team.

Bai Xiaotian, who got up from the ground, quickly took a step forward to hold down the ball, intending to push the ball straight to Yang Chen in front.

Just as he raised his foot to kick, a pair of blue socks stood in front of Bai Xiaotian.

Bai Xiaotian looked up, and Junichi Inamoto was looking at him with a smile.

"Bai Sang, I will always watch you!"

"Okay, you won!" Bai Xiaotian shrugged and gave up the idea of ​​taking a quick free kick.

Although Junichi Inamoto played as a substitute at Arsenal, his career with the Gunners for more than a year has taught him how to effectively defend Henry-level strikers.

At the very least, he did a good job of being in the right place at the right time.

Bai Xiaotian straightened the ball and looked ahead, shook his head helplessly, and passed the ball back to Xu Yunlong who was at the back.

"The Japanese team's formation is too tight and there is no room for passing the ball. We have to spread the opponent's formation a little so that we can find opportunities." Director Zhang explained the meaning of Bai Xiaotian's pass.

Milu on the sidelines yelled in the rain, asking Xu Yunlong to hand over the ball as soon as possible, and then launched an attack from the side.

The Japanese players are generally short in stature, and headers are not dominant.The long pass of the national football team just restrained the opponent, so even if Bai Xiaotian occasionally made a few personal breakthroughs in the middle, the Chinese team still had to implement the tactical play of the bottom pass.

This is also the reason why Milu started Qu Bo.

The Chinese team's Chasing Years ran forward after taking the ball from the wing, ignoring the possibility of falling on the wet turf. For this reason, the Japanese team even sent two defenders to attack Qu Bo one after the other.

Remembering Bai Xiaotian's instructions, Qu Bo knew how to cooperate with Bai Xiaotian as early as when he was in the National Youth League, even though he was the main center forward at that time.But after arriving at the national football team, the positions of the two were almost reversed.

No matter how reluctant he was, Qu Bo could only kick up and hoist the ball towards the middle of the penalty area.

"Qu Bo's pass!"

Ignoring the rain that fell on his eyelashes and eyelids, Bai Xiaotian gained a firm foothold in the penalty area of ​​the Japanese team, stuck the defender behind him, and planned to push Qu Bo's good pass into the gate guarded by Nouko Kawaguchi.

With a crisp "bang", Bai Xiaotian, who was jumping in the air, looked at the golden-haired boy leaping past in front of him, his face was full of surprise.

"Oh! The ball was cleared by a Japanese player again." Huang Jianxiang looked down at the player's profile and continued, "The one who just cleared was Junichi Inamoto, No. 5 of the Japanese team. He pushed Qu Bo's cross over the baseline."

"Bai Sang, thank you." After Bai Xiaotian pulled up Inamoto Junichi who fell to the ground in front of him, the young Gunners bench player thanked Bai Xiaotian.

With Inamoto Junichi being one centimeter shorter than Bai Xiaotian, it was very difficult to touch the ball with his head.And if it is not done well, it may even hit the door of your own house.

But Junichi Inamoto still ran up and jumped without hesitation, pushing the ball towards the baseline, in order to prevent Bai Xiaotian from touching the ball in the penalty area.

Seeing the Japanese players defending him so desperately, Bai Xiaotian let out a sigh of relief, and could only hope that his teammates would give more strength.If you can't make more blooms, it will be really difficult to win the old rival Japan.
