Godfather of national football

Chapter 237 Fighting Australia ([-])
Osijek suddenly looked at Li Guo enviously, because he was very troubled at the moment.

At this time, for Li Guo, there is no choice. Only by attacking hard and scoring two goals is he eligible to talk about the future.

As for Osijek, there are too many options. Should he continue to attack and score 3, 4, or 5?Or go back, take the bus, and keep the 2-goal advantage?

On Li Guo's side, replacing Park Shuang is to use his ability to hold the ball in the frontcourt. Needless to say, replacing Qu Bo is to use his sky-defying speed.

Facing Australia's McKay, Park Shuang swayed his upper body and pedaled a bicycle on the spot with his feet, not to pass the ball, but to pass the ball from an angle.

With a push with his left foot, the ball went to Qu Bo. The latter didn't stop the ball and went straight to the ball. Australia's right back Neil almost called Nima. Qu Bo's speed is not for football at all, but for track and field.

Qu Bo knew that his passing skills were average, so he broke through the bottom and passed back to Pu Shuang in front of the penalty area.

As soon as he saw Park Shuang, the Australian defensive player got goosebumps, wondering what he wanted to do next?
Although most of Park Shuang's actions are flashy, but as long as Park Shuang succeeds once, it may be a chance for a lore. What Park Shuang wants to play is the success rate.

Jedinak faced Park Shuang, who continued to ride his bicycle on the spot. Jedinak dared not make a move, and Park Shuang took the opportunity to pass the ball to Lin Zhijian on the other side.

Facing Milligan, Lin Zhijian still couldn't get rid of it completely, at this moment, a red streak flashed by his side, it was Mu Fei!

Lin Zhijian thought that after the last mistake, Mu Fei would honestly stay in his right back position, but he didn't expect that Mu Fei would still implement Li Guo's tactical arrangement and add assists.

Without hesitation, Lin Zhijian pushed forward, and Mu Fei dribbled the ball and made a cross.

The ball was passed flat and fast, and Ji Ke stepped forward immediately, "I want to score this ball, I want to score this ball," Ji Ke repeated mentally again and again.

He thought of Li Guo's kindness to him, "I must help the head win the Asian Cup."

But facing Schwarzer who is nearly 2 meters away, Ji Ke knew that unless he pushed the ball into the dead corner, the opponent was likely to save the ball.

Behind him was the opponent's defender, and in front of him was the tall goalkeeper Schwarzer. Ji Ke hit the ball and then turned his head to look.

Just when everyone thought that Ji Ke was about to head the ball, Ji Ke hit the ball with the back of his head and headed behind him.

Even the live broadcast camera was so unexpected that it didn't keep up. When the camera caught up, a player in a red jersey rushed over and slapped his left foot.

The ball crashes into the net!
Qu Bo, who was closest to him, rushed up, then Ji Ke, behind him was Lin Zhijian... Geng Chong, Fang Suo, Chen Deng... Zhou Dun, Yin Di... and finally Wang Dalei.

"Pu Shuang, good job, Pu Shuang scored the most crucial goal for the Chinese team, and now the Chinese team is only one goal away, one goal."

The CCTV commentator was almost howling. The ball was like a thunderclap in the dull afternoon, waking up a little discouraged Chinese fans, Chinese commentators, and even Chinese players.

Park Shuang was overwhelmed. How many times, the public opinion said that he had the skills of a South American player, but at the critical moment, he was as helpless as a Southeast Asian player. This time he proved himself in the semi-finals of the Asian Cup.

Li Guo knew that now was not the time to celebrate, so he waved to the players to get back to their seats. For the players of the Chinese team, one ball is not enough.

*****
For Australia, the goal of the Chinese team helped them. Osijek made up his mind that the next thing to do was to defend and keep the advantage of one ball until the end of the game.

For this reason, Australia immediately replaced Robbie Kruse, the one who later joined Leverkusen, and replaced Kewell.

In midfield, McKay was replaced by Bresciano.

After changing two people in a row, Australia's formation became 451. The intention was obvious. They held the three axes of the Chinese team and reached the final.

Australia put the bus, which was the last scene Li Guo wanted to see, but it happened. The Chinese team's offensive space in the Australian half was repeatedly compressed, and the chances they got were getting fewer and fewer.

What's more terrible is the passage of time. Osijek kept looking at his watch, 75 minutes, 76 minutes, 77 minutes... 80 minutes.

Every few tens of seconds, Osijek looked at his watch, like a patient with obsessive-compulsive disorder, he felt that time passed so slowly.

The same is true for Li Guo here, the only difference is that Li Guo feels that time passes so fast.

The Chinese team players tried to break through again and again, but they would soon fall into the opponent's crowd. Australia's crowd tactics made it impossible for the Chinese team's sharp sideways to rush.

Li Guo jumped anxiously, just like Conte later, "Long pass, hit Ji Ke on the head."

"Long shot, Chen Deng, think of yourself as Harvey."

Time is running out. In the face of dense defense, Li Guo asked the players to play as simple as possible. Long shots and long passes are a good way to break the dense defense.

If you can't attack for a long time, you must make a mistake. Park Shuang's stop in front of the penalty area was intercepted. Park Shuang was in a cold sweat.

Zhou Dun!

The central defenders of the Chinese team are all over the opponent's half.Zhou Dun's long-range shot was powerful and heavy, Schwarzer hit the ball out of the baseline with both fists, and the Chinese team got a corner kick.

Pu Shuang looked at it again. Damn, not only Zhou Dun and Yin Di came up, but even Wang Dalei came up. The Chinese team took this corner kick as a life-saving straw.

Lin Zhijian ran to the corner flag area to take a corner kick. The Australian team came back to defend, and they also had a premonition that this corner kick would be difficult.

At the run-up, Lin Zhijian kicked a corner kick. When the ball was still in the air, the referee's whistle sounded. Penalty?
Li Guo thought he was lucky, but when he saw the referee's gesture, it turned out that it was not a penalty kick, but a signal to Lin Zhijian to give him a heavy penalty. Just now there was a shoving in the penalty area.

It's no wonder that the restricted area in Australia should be the most densely populated place on earth at this time, and there are 20 people piled up in such a small place.

Schwarzer pushed the Chinese team players hard, in order to make room for himself to attack later, but the Chinese team players stood firmly in the small penalty area, so there was another push and shoving, and the referee had to come over again to give a warning.

Finally, the referee blew his whistle, indicating that Lin Zhijian could kick. The players on the bench of the Chinese team lowered their heads, not daring to look.

Li Guo squatted on the ground, looking into the distance, praying silently in his heart.
