Chapter 239 Battle in Australia ([-])
After the start of overtime, the first to attack was the passive Australia. Their bald midfielder Bresciano was like a tank, frequently attacking the Chinese team in the middle.

Li Guo remembers that Bresciano was very tough when he played in Palermo in Serie A. Because he was bald and had a strong impact, he looked very eye-catching in the midfield.

Australia's strong play in the middle, the ultimate goal is to disrupt the Chinese team's midfield and then play the wing, because at this time there is a tall man in the Australian forward line-Kruse.

Kruse is like a shorter Crouch, who looks like a bamboo pole. In fact, it is not his characteristic to head the ball to grab points, but the technique at his feet is his characteristic, which is very strange.

Bresciano rushed straight forward with the ball, Fang Suo and Chen Deng of the Chinese team closed the door to defend, but Bresciano squeezed through the "door".

Australia's small tank is definitely not in vain, and the Chinese players did not dare to foul easily. After Bresciano broke through, he passed the ball to Cahill.

Facing Yin Di, Cahill made another dunk, but this time Yin Di was not fooled, he stretched out his foot and poked the ball away.

The average age of the Australian team is older than that of the Chinese team. After all, the team of the Chinese team is in the age group of the 2008 National Olympics, so the longer the game is dragged on, the more unfavorable it is for Australia. Therefore, when the extra time began, Australia attacked very hard and wanted to score another goal.

Soon, No. 7 Emerton came again. He overtook Mu Fei forcibly on the left. Mu Fei got stuck in the position. Emerton dunked lightly and made a pass from a small angle.

It was Zhou Dun who defended Kruse at the first point. Kruse was not well-known at this time, and Zhou Dun didn't know him well, but seeing how tall he was, he probably had a good header.

But the Australian team is very strange. In fact, the best header in this team is Cahill, who is not tall.

Kruse from the front point feinted under Zhou Dun's marking. He was actually a cover. After the ball flew past, it was Cahill from the back point who was really ready to head the goal.

It was too late for Yin Di to make up for it, and Cahill hit the Chinese team's goal hard with a header. The ball went past Wang Dalei, but also passed the goal post.

A little bit off, Cahill kicked the post, lamenting his bad luck.

*****
After a few offenses, Australia stalled. It seems that their physical fitness has reached a bottleneck, and they have already used up their substitutions. Whoever falls down now is equivalent to a red card for the team, and there is no one to replace.

But Cahill still fell. After a sprint, he fell in the penalty area of ​​the Chinese team. Unexpectedly, the first one who ran over to press his legs was Yin Di of the Chinese team.

After the start of overtime, Cahill has completed several threatening runs and shots, and his physical energy seems to be exhausted at this time.

Osijek crossed his arms and bowed his head. Cahill was indispensable. Even when it came to the penalty shootout, Cahill was a good penalty shooter.

But Osijek is not a doctor, let alone a god. At this time, he can only bow his head and wait for the best result.

The assistant came over and whispered a few words, Osijek's brows that were originally huddled together relaxed, and Cahill just had a cramp, not a strain.

The Australian players had just stood up, and someone from the Chinese team fell down again. After a closer look, it was Geng Chong.

This is normal. In today's game, the two full-backs of the Chinese team worked the hardest, and they also ran the most distance in the team.

"Head, I can still hold on," Geng Chong gritted his teeth when he said these words, with a ferocious expression on his face.

"Of course, you have to insist, or I will spank your ass."

Everyone laughed.

After a simple treatment, Geng Chong returned to the court, and Li Guo asked Qu Bo to come back and switch positions with Geng Chong to prevent Australia from taking advantage of the danger and attacking Geng Chong's side.

In the extra time, the team doctors of the two teams were the busiest, because the players of the two teams frequently collapsed, and the referee had to interrupt the game frequently.

At this time, both Li Guo and Osijek are thinking about the penalty shootout, that is, leaving their fate to God.

*****
"It's all routine, there is no suddenness," Zhou Dun, who was standing at the other end of the court, could see clearly. Because he was too tired, the Chinese team's frontcourt offense became very dull, just like the one in the textbook.

So Zhou Dun decided to do it himself!
When Fang Suo took the ball, Zhou Dun started to start. When Fang Suo passed the ball to Pu Shuang, Zhou Dun had already run across the center line.

As soon as Park Shuang took the ball, three Australian players double-teamed him. They didn't dare to neglect, because they all knew that Park Shuang played very strangely.

Pu Shuang turned around to protect the ball. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Zhou Dun. Zhou Dun was sprinting forward at a very fast speed. Pu Shuang instantly understood what Zhou Dun wanted to do.

Pu Shuang ran back with the ball, in the opposite direction to Zhou Dun's running, and took away the opponent's defender. The moment Zhou Dun passed Pu Shuang, Pu Shuang tapped his heel and passed the ball.

It was as if Pu Shuang had eyes on the back of his head, and the ball just passed to Zhou Dun's running route. At this time, only one central defender in Australia, Ognowski, was still defending.

Zhou Dun continued to accelerate, touched the ball with his instep, and waded past Ogonowski.No one thought that the central defender of the Chinese team would single out the opponent's central defender.

Facing Schwarzer, Zhou Dun pushed lightly, and the ball rolled towards the back post of the goal. The ball... went in....

*****
The Chinese fans in the stands were boiling, and the Chinese players on the bench turned high. Li Weifeng was the first to rush out, rushing towards Zhou Dun's direction.

Although the game was not over yet, Li Guo knew that this was a quasi-lore game. There was not much time left in the game, and more importantly, the opponent's physical fitness was also running out.

Zhou Dun shook off everyone and rushed to the Chinese team's stand to wave his hand. The Chinese team's celebration was a little less crazy and more grateful to the fans.

Australia is indeed discouraged. Football games are like this. You are given a chance, but if you don't seize it, the party that wasted the opportunity will be punished.

The referee signaled the Chinese players who were still celebrating to return to their positions, because the Chinese team was suspected of delaying time.

The game restarted, but Australia was no longer able to organize an effective offense. They were all long passes, and Kruse was not good at headers, and the ball was always passed directly to the baseline.The camera showed Osijek, the German looked firm, but he should also know the result.

At 120 minutes into the game, Li Guo pointed to his watch at the referee to remind the referee to pay attention to the time.

Finally, after a short stoppage time, the game was over, the Australian players covered their faces and fell down, and the Chinese team advanced to the final.

This semi-final was as difficult as the semi-final 7 years ago, and the final result was that the Chinese team won.

At the moment when the referee blew the final whistle, Li Guo went straight to Zhou Dun.
