Chapter 1520 After all, this is the home court of the Japanese team
The dangerous summit run of Morikawa Junpei just now is being replayed in the TV broadcast. Through multi-angle slow-motion replay, everyone can see more clearly and better understand how threatening that moment was.
In fact, Hu Lai looked back and observed before preparing to kick the ball.
But he didn't care about Junpei Morikawa, he was looking for an opportunity to counterattack.
He wanted to pass the football directly into the space and take advantage of the corner kick to launch a counterattack.
When the Japanese team was about to take this corner kick, he knew where Junpei Morikawa was - dragging him behind to play as a central defender.
So he didn't expect that Morikawa Junpei would suddenly rush behind him.
He raised his right foot as usual, and then he felt a noise coming from beside him, and someone came to him.
In the slow-motion TV broadcast, Morikawa Junpei bent his waist and directly headed towards the flying football with his head.
Hu Lai finally discovered the problem at this time. He reflexively withdrew his strength and raised his hands at the same time.
Although his reaction was fast enough, he still collided with Junpei Morikawa.
His foot did not kick Morikawa Junpei in the face, but kicked him in the chest.
If he had retracted his foot any slower, he might have landed his foot firmly on Morikawa Junpei's face...
But even so, getting kicked in the chest is a serious matter.
If Junpei Morikawa covers his heart and rolls on the ground a few more times, he might be able to successfully ignite the fire in the hearts of Japanese players.
Junpei Morikawa did not do this.
After he lost his balance and fell to the ground, he even tried to get up immediately to see if his header was successful.
Where is the slightest concern for his own safety?
I have to say that after following Hu Lai for so many years, Morikawa Junpei has not changed his character and has not learned to be obscene. It is really remarkable.
The referee ran over and showed Hu Lai a yellow card.
It is the first time for Hu Lai to receive a yellow card for dangerous actions.
In the past, even if he received a yellow card, it was basically because of delaying time...
Hu Lai had no objection to this. Although he didn't mean it, in football rules, this was indeed raising his foot too high. In order to gain time, he didn't wait for the football to fall and just wanted to pass the ball. So I had to raise my feet a little higher.
This was the first time that Hu Lai had done something like this that almost hurt someone. He has been treated in a similar way in the past, so he will not defend his actions, saying that he did not mean it and did not see Junpei Morikawa...
If you are wrong, you are wrong, even if you are shown a yellow card, you will accept it.
The most important thing is that Junpei Morikawa was not injured.
※※※
Junpei Morikawa risked injury to win this free kick for the Japanese team, but it did not threaten the Chinese team's goal.
But the Japanese team no longer cares about the success or failure of this attack.
The whole team was inspired by Junpei Morikawa.
Especially Tatsuya Sugiyama.
As the core midfielder of the Japanese national team, his performance is directly related to the quality of the Japanese team's offense.
Xia Xiaoyu soon noticed that Tatsuya Sugiyama was different from before. He pounced on him a little too hard, but was shaken away by Tatsuya Sugiyama.
Gao Ruimin, who was next to him, saw Xia Xiaoyu being shaken away and immediately came up to defend him.
But his move created a gap behind him.
Sugiyama Tatsuya passed the football into this space.
The rushing Tsunoda took the ball and shot a long shot, once again threatening the Chinese team's goal.
This time Lin Zhiyuan had already made a save, but he did not touch the ball.
The ball allowed Wang Guangwei to stretch his legs to block the baseline.
Japan wins a corner kick.
"Takuda Man! Oops! His shot was blocked by Wang Guangwei! Come on, Team Japan!"
During this period, the Japanese team formed a siege, which made the Japanese commentators very excited.
This time the corner kick was taken by Japan's captain Kengo Yamagami, but due to Liu Yan's personal interference, he headed it slightly higher.
There was a loud exhalation in the stands.
※※※
Zhang Qinghuan looked back in midfield and noticed Junpei Morikawa who was diagonally behind him.
So he decided to stop the football to the other side when catching the ball and use his body to protect the ball.
He ran up to meet the passing football and at the same time moved the football to the right side of his body.
At this moment, he felt a violent collision from the right rear of his body. He immediately realized that his intention had been guessed by Morikawa Junpei, who was going around to the right to steal the ball!
Zhang Qinghuan quickly opened his right arm, and sure enough he caught someone there. He knew it was Junpei Morikawa without looking back to confirm. He tried to block Junpei Morikawa behind him.
In addition, his feet are also stretched towards the football, preparing to pull the football back.
He did succeed in getting the football back, but not in getting it back under his control as he imagined...
Suddenly an extra leg appeared between his legs, inserted in, and pushed out the football that was pulling him back!
Steal the ball!
Zhang Qinghuan staggered, and saw Junpei Morikawa behind him bypassing him from the right and catching up with the football!
The cheers in the stands suddenly increased.
After Morikawa Junpei caught up with the football, he did not continue to dribble the ball. He knew that he was not good at doing this.
At the same time, midfielder Tatsuya Sugiyama had already dropped back to meet him. When he saw him getting the ball, he shouted at him: "Morikawa!"
Junpei Morikawa passed the football forward to Tatsuya Sugiyama.
Tatsuya Sugiyama adjusted his position before catching the ball. He did not turn his back completely to the direction of attack, but turned sideways. This made it easy to move forward or backward after catching the ball.
Facing the rushing Xia Xiaoyu, he raised his left foot and tried to move the football to the left. After causing Xia Xiaoyu to shift his center of gravity to the left, he made a feint and dunked the football to the right with his left foot, which was the direction of attack.
After shaking off Xia Xiaoyu, Sugiyama Tatsuya accelerated and dribbled the ball along the ribs of the Chinese team's defense into the penalty area!
Mao Jun was coming up, and Sugiyama Tatsuya repeated his old tricks. This time he was trying to use the outside instep of his right foot to split the football, allowing Mao Jun to pounce on the passing route. Then he dunked the football to the left with his right foot and continued to take it into the penalty area!
As a defensive midfielder, Gao Ruimin returned to the edge of the penalty area and stretched out his foot to steal the ball, but Tatsuya Sugiyama kicked the ball first. At the same time, he squeezed in and blocked Gao Ruimin behind him.
Seeing this, Gao Ruimin quickly raised his hands and put his feet back at the same time, fearing that he would knock the opponent down, and awarded the Japanese team a penalty kick...
Seeing Tatsuya Sugiyama dribbling the ball into the Chinese team's penalty area, the Japanese fans in the stands screamed with excitement.
The Japanese commentator also happily shouted: "Sugiyama! Sugiyama! Well done Sugiyama!"
Sugiyama Tatsuya used to be a pure midfielder with a relatively slow pace, but after playing in Europe for a few years, he also made great progress. It has a certain forward assault capability and its speed has also been improved.
This breakthrough with the ball is the best example.
Faced with his sudden acceleration, the Chinese team's defense seemed ill-prepared.
He went straight to Huanglong!
Sugiyama Tatsuya and Wang Guangwei, who entered the penalty area, pounced on the football at the same time.
Then at the moment when he collided with Wang Guangwei, he took the first kick and stabbed the football to the Japanese forward Tsutomu Ito on his left.
The forward who scored 12 goals in the Bundesliga last season received the ball from Tatsuya Sugiyama and shot!
At the same time, Liu Yan came up from behind and stretched out his kick to block the shot!
He did block it, but the football hit his toes and changed direction slightly, just in time to avoid Lin Zhiyuan's lunging fingers... and rushed into the goal!
"Oops -" He Feng and Yan Kang sighed in unison. "The Japanese team still scored! Seeing that the first half was about to end, Ito Nu equalized the score for the Japanese team... Sugiyama Tatsuya's sudden burst was unexpected. He dribbled the ball continuously and disrupted the Chinese team's defense. ...He is indeed the core of Vesseldorf's midfield..."
Yan Kang began to reassure the domestic fans: "But it doesn't matter. This is the home court of the Japanese team after all. I believe Dillon must have fully considered various situations on the field. This conceding of the ball does not mean anything. As long as we stabilize our position, There is still a chance in the second half..."
And he kept it in his heart and didn't say it out loud.
That is, in his opinion, even if he cannot win, as long as he can draw Japan in the away game, he also thinks it is a completely acceptable result.
The top 12 is a long process.
After drawing with Japan away from home, they can definitely beat them at home.
Against opponents like Japan and Iran, being able to score four points is considered a satisfactory result and the goal has been achieved.
As long as they don't overturn on weak teams, the Chinese team has a great chance of directly advancing to the World Cup finals.
Thinking of this, Yan Kang suddenly realized that he seemed to feel at ease unknowingly. Even if he lost the ball in the game, he would not be as anxious and frustrated as before.
Perhaps after experiencing many games such as the World Cup and Olympic Games, Yan Kang is full of confidence in this team.
He is like this, I wonder if others are like this too.
In front of the TV, Xie Lan felt unhappy about the Japanese team's goal. Hu Lixin next to her comforted her: "It's okay, the first half will be over soon. We have a lot of time this time."
Xie Lan glanced at him: "I know, but I just don't like the Japanese team scoring!"
Hu Lixinyan shook his head slightly, there was nothing he could do about it.
During the TV broadcast, Lin Zhiyuan was even more unhappy than his wife...
Prior to this, he had not conceded a goal in this top 12 competition, and now his golden streak of not conceding a goal has been broken.
He punched the ground hard.
"Mother Diurei's little Japanese!" (End of Chapter)
