Champion’s Heart

Maya Yoshida cleared the ball and slid into the goal with the ball. When his spikes were caught in the net, he had time to look for the ball.

When he turned his head, the football stopped not far from him.

In the goal!

The Japanese team lost the ball!

Ah-ahhhhhhhhhh!! the Japanese commentator screamed. A goal was scored! The Chinese team's counterattack was so sharp! We lacked countermeasures in this regard! Yoshida Ma also tried her best, but still couldn't stop Wu Lei's shot...

There was a lot of disappointment and frustration in his voice.

Not only him, but the Japanese fans in the stands and in front of the TV seemed to be stunned and dejected.

From blasting and blocking the Chinese team's goal, getting infinitely close to scoring, to now being pierced through the chest with a sword from the opponent, the psychological gap is really too big... not everyone can accept it calmly.

Good shot! Beautiful! He Ping clenched his fists and jumped up from his seat, raising his arms and shouting. The Chinese team took the lead!! Wu Lei's sudden shot was very beautiful! He caught the Japanese team off guard!

After scoring the goal, Wu Lei was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that he would also score in the Olympic finals, but he quickly reacted. He turned around and ran to the corner flag area. He was so excited that he even ignored the yellow card warning and took off his jersey. I lost my jersey!

Other Chinese team players rushed forward.

Zhou Yi was among them. He ran towards Wu Lei with a smile, leaving Yamaguchi Hotaru behind - this time Yamaguchi Hotaru couldn't follow...

What an unexpected goal! The Japanese team has always had the advantage before. Their offensive in the second half was very fierce and threatened the goal guarded by Sun Pan many times. However, it was the Chinese team that scored! Mark Lauren Sen sighed.

Wu Lei! Handsome, handsome, handsome!!

It's a fortress, the Chinese team! This counterattack is really cool! Look at Wu Lei's breakthrough, it's so inspiring!

I think our country's players lack this kind of indomitable momentum. Now in the Olympic team, I finally see it!

Hahaha! We're ahead! We're ahead!

Sure enough, our strength is still stronger! This counterattack was really smooth!

On China’s domestic network,

There was also great joy.

※※※

Zhou Yi ran to Wu Lei. Wu Lei had already turned around. When he saw Zhou Yi, he took the initiative to open his arms and hugged Zhou Yi who ran up.

Thanks!

He said to Zhou Yi from the bottom of his heart.

Zhou Yi smiled and said: This goal is an opportunity created by your own breakthrough. Why are you thanking me?

No matter what, I still have to thank you, Zhou Yi! Wu Lei said seriously.

Other teammates swarmed up, surrounded them, and celebrated the goal together.

This goal is of great significance to the Chinese team, which was somewhat embarrassed by the Japanese team.

While celebrating, Zhou Yi, who was in the crowd, seized the opportunity to explain to his teammates what he planned to do next in order to gain their support.

Although we are leading now, we are only leading by one goal. This is not a safe score. So if we have the chance, we will score more goals! Zhou Yi said to his teammates. The suspense of this game will be completely eliminated!

Zhou Yi, who had made up his mind, did not intend to deal with the Japanese team any longer.

※※※

When the Chinese team ended its celebration and returned to its own half, the Japanese team players had already placed the football in the center circle, ready to kick off at any time.

Zhou Yi looked up at the sky. The sun was setting slightly in the west. A small part of it was already blocked by the roof of the stands of the new Wembley Stadium. As time goes by, China's situation of playing football against the light will definitely be improved. improve.

By then, the impact on defense will also be reduced a lot.

Everything is getting better. In fact, if we do nothing, without this goal, the situation will get better as the game time goes on.

But Sun Pan's injury prevented the Chinese team from waiting any longer.

Zhou Yi must burn the flames of war to the opponent's door and keep the threat away from Sun Pan.

The referee blew the whistle, the Japanese team kicked off, and the game continued.

The Japanese team that got the ball still used the wings to launch the attack. There was a high center forward in the middle, and of course they had to play high balls.

But this time, their ball was not passed. After Hiroki Sakai pulled to the wing to catch the ball, he was targeted by Yang Muge.

He tried to get rid of Yang Muge and then passed the ball, but it was useless. Yang Muge remained unmoved.

He wanted to force a breakthrough, but Yang Muge knocked the ball away.

Then the Chinese team immediately switched from defense to offense and launched a counterattack, which made the Japanese team very embarrassed.

Careful people suddenly discovered that since Sun Pan made three consecutive attacks, the situation was changing. At that time, the Japanese team had the upper hand, but now, the Chinese team has the upper hand.

No one knows what happened in the meantime, and no one knows why this sudden change occurred. Everyone can only guess that maybe in the first fifteen minutes of the game, the Japanese team attacked too hard and needed to adjust its rhythm. This gave the Chinese team the opportunity to counterattack.

The Japanese commentator holds this view. In his commentary, he encouraged the team not to be discouraged by losing the ball. At the same time, he told the Japanese fans in front of the TV that the difficulties the team is encountering are temporary. It seems that the Chinese team has pulled it back, but this is also a good thing for the Japanese team. They can take the opportunity to take a rest and catch their breath. Once the team recovers, they will continue to use crazy running and pressing to threaten the Chinese team's goal again.

The idea is good, but reality may not always develop according to this kind of wishful thinking...

※※※

In the 71st minute, the Chinese team launched another attack. This time it was not a counterattack, because the Japanese team retreated very quickly. Except for Yamaguchi Hotaru who was entangled with Zhou Yi in front, everyone else retreated back to their own thirty-meter area.

When the Chinese team advanced to the frontcourt through short passes, the Japanese team was already waiting near its own penalty area.

With continuous passes, the Chinese team did not seem to have any good opportunities.

The Japanese team deployed a defense line consisting of four defenders and an avant-garde line at the front of the penalty area.

In addition to the four defenders, the Japanese team deployed a double midfielder formation in this game. One of the midfielders, Hotaru Yamaguchi, is only responsible for defending Zhou Yi, while the other midfielder, Takahiro Ogihara, is responsible for daily midfield defense.

In the middle, their defense is very tight.

Facing the carefully arranged defense line of the Japanese team, the Chinese team passed the ball horizontally for two rounds and never passed it forward. Because in Zhou Yi's view, passing forward means losing the ball, he did not find any obvious loopholes in the Japanese team's defense.

But when the football fell to Zhang Linpeng's feet, the impulsive full-back couldn't bear it anymore. He felt that no matter how much he passed the ball back sideways, nothing could be changed. Sometimes he still had to take some risks.

In his view, now is the time to take risks.

So he passed the football directly into the penalty area.

The Chinese team made a pass! the Japanese commentator shouted.

He Ying went to the goal, but the football was pushed out by Maya Yoshida on the way to his head.

The football flew straight outside the penalty area.

The Chinese team's offense failed and the ball was about to change hands.

Seeing this scene, I believe this idea will naturally pop into the minds of many people.

But someone drove this idea out of many people's minds.

※※※

When Zhang Linpeng passed the ball, Zhou Yi, who ran into the penalty area, was just in the direction of the football, but not at the landing point. Because the impact point is where he ran from, behind him, which means the football will pass him by and he will not be able to touch it.

But just when everyone was thinking this, Zhou Yi, who was running forward, naturally swung his legs back and raised his calves. The football just hit the outside of his feet, slowed down and rebounded.

This made Takahiro Ogihara, another defensive midfielder of the Japanese Olympic team who was chasing the football, miss it!

Football and people passed him by. He braked suddenly and saw Yamaguchi Hotaru, which made him somewhat relieved - his midfielder partner was still following Zhou Yi faithfully, and it was not that easy for Zhou Yi to get rid of him!

Sure enough, seeing Zhou Yi use an unconventional action to intercept the football, Yamaguchi Hotaru immediately reacted and turned his attention to the football.

Because Zhou Yi just blocked the football and did not hit it hard, the football did not go over anyone's head and fell in front of both sides. The football bounced back and fell behind Zhou Yi and Yamaguchi Hotaru.

Yamaguchi Hotaru stopped suddenly, turned around and stretched out his foot to stab the ball.

At the same time, Zhou Yi also half-turned, stretched out his right foot, and then hooked the football before Yamaguchi Hotaru!

The football just flew over Yamaguchi Hotaru's feet!

Wow! Beautiful! He Ping exclaimed.

The football that flew over Yamaguchi Hotaru brushed past Zhou Yi's jersey and landed in front of him.

Just such a seemingly ordinary pick of the ball completed the two functions of passing and adjusting.

At this time, Zhou Yi can turn his body to face the direction of attack!

Zhou Yi kicked his legs to speed up, caught up with the football while running, then stepped on the football with the sole of his right foot raised high, and just broke into the penalty area from the side of the Japanese team's central defender Deku Yuhei!

Zhou Yi! He went in! the Japanese commentator shouted in horror. Stop him, stop him!!

The football that was forced down by Zhou Yi's soles jumped up suddenly after it landed. It seemed that he was a rebellious child who just didn't want to listen to Zhou Yi's words.

But as soon as it jumped up, it was stepped down by Zhou Yi's sole. Zhou Yi didn't exert much force, he just adjusted naturally while running forward. The football hit the sole of the shoe by itself under the effect of the reaction force. Bounced back.

After two consecutive clicks, the football became much more obedient, but it was still bouncing instead of rolling obediently on the turf. Too many adjustments might cause Zhou Yi to lose his best opportunity.

At this time, both Zhou Yi and Qiu Qiu rushed to the penalty spot. He had already passed through the Japanese team's defense. The person in front of him at this time was the Japanese team's goalkeeper Gonda Shuichi, and he gave up the goal again.

And Yoshida Maya came over from the other side. He wanted to get stuck inside Zhou Yi and prevent him from shooting!

Just when he was fast and close to Zhou Yi, Zhou Yi raised his right foot for the third time, but this time he didn't step down on the football, but lifted it up with his toes!

The picked up football passed over the attacking goalkeeper Gonda Shuichi, drew a parabola, and fell lightly towards the goal behind him!

The speed was not very fast. Only then did Maya Yoshida realize that he had made another mistake - this time he should have gone straight to the goal. In that case, he would have had a chance to block the shot which was not very fast. .

But now, it was too late for him to turn back halfway. He could only look back and watch the football as if it had crossed the goal line in slow motion... and flew into the back of the goal!

Ahhhhhhhhhh!!! This scream was not from the Japanese commentator, but from the Chinese commentator He Ping!

3:1! 3:1!!! Zhouyi! The Olympic team leads Japan by two goals!!

His hysterical screams echoed throughout the dugout at the new Wembley Stadium. (To be continued)). If you like this work, you are welcome to vote at Qidian (). Your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile phone users please go and read. )
