Godfather of national football

Chapter 246 Top of Asia ([-])

The reason why Li Guo called him an idiot was because Shinji Okazaki dribbled the ball and ran forward in a straight line with his head down. It stands to reason that it is easy to defend, but Yin Di was stunned for some reason.

The defense line of the Chinese team opened a hole. Shinji Okazaki raised his head and was overjoyed. He was about to shoot when he found someone shoveling from the side.

At this time, it was Zhou Dun, the last defensive player of the Chinese team, who took the risk of making a tackle. When Zhou Dun completed the tackle, the referee's whistle sounded. Li Guo was startled, "That's terrible!"

In other words, if the ball was fouled by the Chinese team, Zhou Dun must be a red card according to the rules.

But strangely, Irmatov gave Zhou Dun a yellow card and at the same time awarded the opponent a free kick.

As a result, the Japanese team quit, and they surrounded the referee one after another, thinking that Zhou Dun was obviously a red card.

The referee pointed to Mu Fei, meaning that Mu Fei was the last defensive player, but the Japanese team was still relentless.

In fact, Li Guo also knew that Irmatov was soft-handed. It stands to reason that the ball should have been a red card regardless of whether Zhou Dun was the last defensive player. The only questionable thing is whether Zhou Dun touched the ball.

But in general, the referees in the finals of major competitions will "control".

No matter how angry the Japanese players were, the referee was still unmoved. Zhou Dun also heaved a sigh of relief. Just now, he only knew that Shinji Okazaki should not be allowed to break through the goal. Now that he thinks about it, he is scared and almost sent off.

*****
The Japanese team won a free kick in a very good position, just a little in front of the penalty area line, a position that many people in the Japanese team can play.

Of course, the first kicker must be Keisuke Honda. The reason why Keisuke Honda became famous is because he scored a very beautiful elevator goal in the Champions League on behalf of CSKA Moscow, and he became famous after the first battle.

Another free kick master is Endo Yasuhito, who is called the Japanese Beckham by the outside world, and he can kick a very accurate arc kick on the inside of his right foot.

Sure enough, the two of them stood in front of the ball, one on the left and one on the right.

For the Chinese team, Wang Dalei is ready to line up the wall. Because the two opponents take free kicks in different styles, it is difficult for Wang Dalei to line up the wall in a targeted manner.

"Shen Rui, go a little to the left and block Honda," Wang Dalei shouted.

Shen Rui moved to the left.

After the two sides were ready, the referee blew a whistle to indicate that the Japanese players could play.Endo Yasuhito ran to the ball first, and finally feinted in front of the ball, and it was Keisuke Honda who actually shot.

The ball drawn by Keisuke Honda does not have spin, but it falls quickly after crossing the wall. It is a typical elevator ball.

This is the most popular way to take the elevator ball in today's football, because the ball is erratic and it is difficult for the goalkeeper to save.

Wang Dalei jumped up, but the fall of the ball was obviously very irregular. Wang Dalei couldn't adjust in mid-air.Just like that, the ball went in.

1:0.

Keisuke Honda was very excited after scoring the goal. He rushed to his coach and had to say that the goal was really beautiful, and there was nothing to say.

Li Guo encouraged his players on the sidelines, Zhou Dun encouraged his teammates on the court, and the players didn't seem to care too much. After all, they survived after falling behind by 2 in the last game, so it's okay.

When the kick-off was resumed, Li Guo gestured and asked the two defensive midfielders to press forward, and the Chinese team was about to speed up.

Chen Deng and Fang Suo pushed forward about 10 meters. On the one hand, they helped Zheng Zhi organize the attack. On the other hand, if the ball was lost in the frontcourt, they quickly launched a counterattack on the spot.

However, the Japanese team's tactical quality is very good, and the defense organization is well-organized. It will be difficult for the Chinese team to penetrate the opponent for a while.

Zheng Zhi took the ball in front of the penalty area. Seeing that the opportunity was not good, he simply shot from a long distance. Eiji Kawashima made a side attack and saved the ball out of the baseline. The Chinese team won a corner kick.

The set kick is a good opportunity, especially the players of the Chinese team are relatively tall, so Li Guo is waving his hands to incite the fans to cheer and cheer for the Chinese team.

Seeing Li Guo's gesture, the Chinese fans cheered wave after wave, just like at home.

On the side of the Chinese team, Zhou Dun rushed into the opponent's penalty area again, and the Japanese team was ready, with a few defenders man-to-man, marking several threatening players of the Chinese team.

Lin Zhijian was about to take a corner kick. Irmatov signaled Lin Zhijian to listen to his whistle. After dealing with a little dispute in the penalty area, the referee whistled and Lin Zhijian kicked the ball.

The ball drew an arc in the air, and although the Japanese team strictly defended, the big Jiko still grabbed the header and smashed the ball towards the Japanese team's goal.

Eiji Kawashima fell to the ground very quickly, threw the ball, and then the ball hit the Chinese team player Zhou Dun, rebounded again, and finally... scored.

When the ball slowly rolled into the goal, the players on the bench of the Chinese team rushed out, but then the Japanese players surrounded the referee again. What happened?
Judging by the gestures of the Japanese players, they should be complaining about the handball of the Chinese team. Zhou Dun has already run back to his own half, and the referee is communicating with the assistant referee.

The Chinese team is very nervous, but because the referee has not made a final decision, the Chinese team can't say anything.

The funniest thing is the on-site photography. He actually gave a shot to Koji Nakata in the stands, and the meaning behind it is self-evident.

After a tense wait, the referee pointed to the middle circle, which meant that the Chinese team's goal was valid. The Japanese team called it cheating. Watching the replay after the game, the ball hit Zhou Dun's stomach, so it was indeed a good shot.

The fans at the scene all called it weird. It was so dull at the beginning, but suddenly both sides scored a goal.The Japanese team felt bad about conceding the ball, and so did the Chinese team, but one thing is, after these two goals, the rhythm of both sides could no longer be suppressed, and the players of both teams became excited.

This is a good thing for the fans, but it is not a good thing for the head coaches of both sides. Seeing that the smell of gunpowder on the court is getting stronger and stronger.

Just 5 minutes after Zhou Dun's goal, Hasebe Makoto shoveled Zheng Zhi in a fight, which completely aroused the anger of both sides.

Fortunately, Li Weifeng was not on the field, otherwise the scene of choking the throat would probably be repeated. Irmatov is very experienced, so he called the captains of both sides to chat and asked them to take care of their players, otherwise he would be impolite.

After the referee's warning, the anger of the players on both sides subsided, and the Japanese team began to prepare a new offensive.
