Chapter 1057 Old Farmer


Chapter 1057 Old Farmer

When the Chinese team seeks cooperation on the wing, everyone's attention naturally goes to the wing.

Even Zhang Qinghuan went from the center to the side to support him.

At that time, few people noticed that Hu Lai, who was originally in the penalty area at the front of the penalty area, also moved laterally.

Only Kenwu Shanshan noticed, so he stuck to him in time and didn't let Hu Lai get away from him.

He thought that his defense against Hu Lai had been impeccable - other defenders could easily be distracted by football at this time.

As long as he can stick to Hu Lai, even if the Chinese team passes the ball to Hu Lai, it will be difficult for them to threaten the Japanese team's goal.

That’s what Yamayama Kengo thought.

He has played against many top forwards in the Bundesliga, such as Sousa Espinola of Blue and White Munich, and German international Mark Becker of Ruerrhein. These people are all famous forwards. Through confrontations with these people, Yamayama Kengo learned a lot and accumulated rich experience.

Perhaps when others face Hu Lai, they will feel the pressure of facing the double golden boots of the Premier League and World Cup.

But Yamayama Kengo himself didn’t feel this way.

That's the benefit of playing in Europe's top leagues.

Playing in a high-level league made Yamayama particularly sensitive to Hu Lai's movements, and he did not get distracted during the game and was thrown away.

These are enough to ensure that he does not make mistakes when facing Hu Lai.

In this defense, he did not make any mistakes.

He did everything he could.

But in the end he could only stand there, turned around and watched the football fly into the goal.

The Japanese TV commentator put his head in his hands and shouted regretfully: "Ah! Even though Kengo Yamayama had almost closely guarded Hu Lai, he still failed to prevent his shot... Both goals of the Chinese team were It’s related to Hu Lai, this is the strength of the Premier League Golden Boot!”

Japanese fans in front of the TV and on the Internet are very depressed.

When the Chinese team was bombarding the Japanese team, they were looking forward to the Japanese team's counterattack to score, but what they waited for was Chen Xingyi's goal.

When the enraged Japanese team suppressed the Chinese team and began to besiege the Chinese team's goal, they believed that the Chinese team's weak defense would definitely concede the goal. But the Chinese team used a counterattack to score another goal!

It was as if he was deliberately going against their expectations...

After watching the replay of Hu Lai's goal in slow motion, they couldn't even scold him - scolding Kengo Yamayama for his poor defense?

Isn’t that blinding one’s eyes?

To be honest, Yamayama Kengo's defense had done his best for this goal. He couldn't have imagined that Hu Lai would use such an unconventional way to shoot the football towards the goal...

So I can only keep the dissatisfaction of falling behind by two goals in my heart. The result is double dissatisfaction, so dissatisfied that I am going to explode...

"Hu Lai——!! Beautiful!! What a ball! What a ball!" He Feng roared at the top of his lungs. "Hu Lai's kick was very sudden! It caught Kengo Yamagata off guard! He probably didn't expect Hu Lai to choose such a shooting method! He directly raised the outside instep of his right leg while running... so beautiful ! Yamayama Kengo is also a top defender in Asia, but there is nothing he can do in front of Hu Lai’s imaginative shot!”

"Holy shit! Hu Lai is awesome!! The Chinese team is awesome!!"

Everyone in the bar jumped up, waved their arms, and shouted.

Some people still had wine in their hands that they had not put down in time, and with the movement of waving, it spilled out and splashed on the people around them.

But no one cares.

Everyone is partying.

This kind of carnival is completely different from when Chen Xingyi scored his first goal.

At that time, while everyone was cheering for Chen Xingyi's goal, they were still vaguely worried that the Japanese team would equalize the score.

And now the Chinese team is leading by two goals. In any case, it is more secure than leading by one goal.

If leading by two goals isn't enough, then it's too harsh...

You must know that the last time the Chinese team led Japan by two goals in a game, that was in the last century:

In the 1998 East Asian Semi-Finals (the predecessor of the East Asian Cup), the Chinese team finally defeated the Japanese team with a score of 2:0.

At the same time, this is also the last time that the Chinese team defeated the Japanese team in an international A-level event. It has been 29 years ago. Everyone knows that Chinese football has "Korean phobia", but they don't know that there is also "Japanese phobia".

However, "Korean phobia" can still be used as a gimmick to hype up, but the word "Japanese phobia" is always difficult to say. After all, the historical grievances between the two countries determine that the Chinese have an extraordinary hatred for Japan. Anyone who mentions "Japanesephobia" and publicizes it like "Koreanphobia" is really "hurting national sentiments."

Now the Chinese team is facing the Japanese team, which has not won in 29 years, to recreate the "grand occasion" of leading by two goals, which makes everyone in the bar go crazy.

And it's not just this one bar.

The Chinese team players were celebrating wildly on the TV, and the Chinese fans outside the TV were also celebrating wildly.

It wasn't until the game restarted that Xie Lan ended her almost crazy celebration and sat down.

Seeing how excited she was, Hu Lixin joked: "Aren't you worried that Dong Jianhai won't leave now?"

Xie Lan slashed down with a knife: "Whether Dong Jianhai leaves or not, little Japanese must die!"

"Aha, Yu! This is what I said about changes!" Dillon pointed at the TV screen and laughed. "Zhang did not penetrate into the penalty area as usual, but ran to the wing to receive the star. This is the change. The Chinese team did not attack directly from the wing as before, but directly passed the ball through Zhang to hit the Japanese team's defense. , obviously this did not occur to the Japanese team!”

Yu Jintao: "If Dong Jianhai really leads the Chinese team to defeat the Japanese team, I think he is likely to stay on... The Chinese Football Association should prepare a new contract for him."

"If you stay, you will stay." Dillon shrugged nonchalantly, "If Dong can stick to what he did in this first half, I will not be as pessimistic about the future of the Chinese team as before."

Mitsui Takahiro sat motionless on the sofa, his mouth slightly open and his expression dull.

Even though he realized that the Chinese team could not be underestimated after conceding the first goal, he never thought that the opponent could lead the Japanese team by two goals!

He thought that when the Japanese team was irritated by conceding the ball, it would be great for the Chinese team to be able to withstand the Japanese team's crazy offensive.

If the first half ends with a score of 1:0, then it will be considered that the Chinese team performed well.

As a result, the Chinese team now leads by two goals!

The person who scored the goal was... Junpei Morikawa's "idol" Hu Lai.

I don’t know why, but Takahiro Mitsui was a little unhappy when he found out that one of his players was not selected for the Japanese national team.

But now he suddenly began to feel lucky that Morikawa Junpei was not in this game.

Team leader Hong Renjie pumped his fists and roared excitedly, venting all the anger in his heart - as the leader of the Chinese team, the national team has been criticized, and the pressure on him is not light.

Then I turned around and saw that Dong Jianhai still looked like an old farmer. Even when he smiled, he smiled reservedly.

So he laughed and patted the opponent on the shoulder: "What are you doing, Old Dong? We are leading by two goals!"

Dong Jianhai grinned when he heard this, making his smile look even brighter.

Seeing him like this, Hong Renjie shook his head helplessly. He had worked with several national football coaches, and Dong Jianhai was indeed the one who suffered the most in terms of temperament...

No wonder the outside world doesn't think highly of him.

In fact, after losing to Iraq in the group stage, there were many doubts and criticisms about Dong Jianhai from the outside world, and the Football Association also began to seriously consider whether to renew Dong Jianhai's contract.

It is difficult to expect such an unconvincing head coach to lead the Chinese team to the World Cup in Spain and Portugal.

But now seeing the performance of the Chinese team against the Japanese team, Hong Renjie feels that it may make the leaders of the Football Association change their minds.

Based on what Hong Renjie saw in the team during this period, he felt that Dong Jianhai seemed to have passed the adaptation period and gradually found his own feeling and rhythm.

In the beginning, he was like a cautious stepmother in this team, not daring to do anything for fear of arousing the disgust and opposition of the children who were in the period of youth rebellion.

He didn't dare to casually change the tactical configuration and personnel mix left by Shi Wuyin, and he didn't dare to try new things.

After playing three Asian Cup group matches, they met the Japanese team in the quarter-finals.

Hong Renjie felt that Dong Jianhai seemed to have figured it out overnight, or that he gained confidence from the result of qualifying for the Asian Cup group stage... For example, he actually chose such a risky play in the game against Japan, and He gave a somewhat generous speech to the players on the training ground.

Hong Renjie was right behind Dong Jianhai at the time, and he could clearly see the surprise in the players' eyes - obviously they were also surprised by Dong Jianhai's change.

Looking at it now, this change is not a bad thing.

Dong Jianhai finally seemed like a real national team coach and he began to take control of the team.

Rather than being an over-the-top candidate to temporarily take over Shi Wuyin's job as before, the entire goal of the work is to be ready for Shi Wuyin to come back to coach at any time. That's why I carefully took care of the furnishings in the room, not even daring to move the placement of things on the table, for fear that the owner of the room would not use it smoothly when he came back.

Hong Renjie and Shi Wuyin had a good personal relationship, but as the leader of the national team, he obviously didn't want Dong Jianhai to be so... respectful to his predecessor.

Hu Lai's goal occurred in the 38th minute. After the game restarted, there was actually not much time left for the Japanese team.

Conceding two goals in a row shocked the players of the Japanese team so much that when the game restarted, they were still a little confused.

On the contrary, the Chinese team attacked more fiercely and beat the Japanese team to the point where they couldn't hold their head high.

They don't look like the "best team in Asia" at all, they are very miserable.

Fortunately, there is not much time left for the Chinese team, otherwise the Chinese team might be able to score another goal...

When the referee blew the whistle to end the first half, the Japanese commentator breathed a sigh of relief: "It's finally over! Director Motegi must make adjustments during the halftime break. It won't work if we continue playing like this!"


And He Feng exclaimed: "This is the best 45 minutes played by the Chinese team in this Asian Cup! To be honest, the performance of these 45 minutes reminded us of the Chinese team in the World Cup half a year ago. Team! The tactical adjustments made by Director Dong Jianhai for the Japanese team are successful and effective!”

During the TV broadcast, the Chinese team players walked off the field happily, but Dong Jianhai on the sidelines entered the tunnel first and walked to the locker room. (End of chapter)
