Chapter 1776 A public execution
"... Let's take a look at how Peng Weijun defended Kamara just now... At the same time as Kamara started, Peng Weijun also started immediately. This reaction is really amazing! And after turning around, he didn't Any hesitation, just go ahead and tackle without fear of fouling. That’s it! That’s it! When facing top European players, you must not think too much, because if you think too much, you may not be able to keep up with the rhythm and get kicked out. Get rid of..."
During the live broadcast of the game, the video of Peng Weijun shoveling Kamara's ball was replayed.
From the replay, it can be clearly seen that Peng Weijun turned around very quickly and tackled very cleanly.
This was a beautiful defense, worthy of the cheers from the audience.
When the South China Tigers conceded the ball at the start and had nothing to do against the Madrid Pirates, the Chinese fans really needed defense like Peng Weijun to boost their morale.
Peng Weijun was also obviously inspired by this successful defense.
When the South China Tigers got an offensive opportunity, he actively pressed forward and raised his hand to ask for the ball.
His teammates may have noticed that his morale was now high, so they passed the football.
In this game, the starting player at the right back position of Madrid Pirates was not the original main player Irazusta, but the Romanian player Radu Grigore.
Facing him, Peng Weijun did not slow down at all when receiving the ball.
This is a sign of his confidence - if he lacks confidence, he should slow down and keep the football at his feet first.
Now he continues to move forward after receiving the ball, taking full advantage of his speed.
Grigory didn't know whether he didn't know enough about Peng Weijun's speed, or he had some contempt from his heart. In short... he was thrown away by Peng Weijun!
"Well done!"
In addition to the commentator, there were many fans in the stands chanting:
"Surprise him!"
“Beautiful!!”
Amid their cheers, Peng Weijun put the football out again. In front of his eyes, it was already a flat plain...
But at this moment, a figure stabbed out from behind!
When Peng Weijun saw this figure, he was very surprised. He seemed not to realize that there was someone who could keep up with his full sprint speed at this time...
He tried to speed up again, but the opponent tackled him before him!
The football was shoveled off the sideline!
Peng Weijun didn't stop his feet, bumped into it, and then flew forward under the influence of inertia!
However, he did not fall to the ground, but rolled forward on the ground and stood up again.
After getting up, he looked at the person who had just tackled him.
None other than Ismail Kamara!
"...What a pity! Peng Weijun failed to break through this time...Kamara used his speed to complete a timely defense..."
He Feng in the commentary box was still regretting that Peng Weijun's breakthrough was not successful.
Peng Weijun, who was being stared at by Kamala, suddenly felt a chill running down his spine.
※※※
When Vukovich received the ball in the middle of the midfield, he shook his head left and right to observe the surrounding situation as usual.
He saw Kamara moving to the wing, and not far in front of him was the South China Tigers' left back.
Obviously, that's not a good pass target, at least not the top priority pass target.
So Vukovich glanced over without stopping.
But unfortunately, he still didn't have a good passing target when he caught the ball.
So he controlled the football at his feet and planned to use his dribbling to create a gap in the opponent's defense.
At this moment, he heard Kamala shouting:
"Milos!! Milos!"
Vukovic protected the football and used his arms to deflect the pressing and interference of South China Tigers midfielder Elias. He looked up and saw Kamara raising his arms to ask for the ball from him.
That action, coupled with the tone of his shouting, was beyond doubt.
Although Vukovic felt that Kamara did not run out of space, if he wanted to dribble the ball forward, then Kamara might indeed be more suitable than him to break through.
It is also easier to break through from the side than from the middle.
So he passed the football anyway.
Kamara didn't wait to catch the ball.
When Vukovich passed the football to him, he rushed forward.
Peng Weijun looked at it from the side and followed suit. He had to always keep a reasonable distance from Kamara. If the opponent opened the space, he might not be able to stop him.
But after he followed up, Kamara failed to catch the ball.
When the football rolled in front of him, he stopped suddenly, let the football pass between his legs and behind him, and then turned around to catch up!
This sudden stop and change of direction caught Peng Weijun off guard, and his reaction was half a beat too slow.
Fortunately, he was fast enough and did not turn around and go back the way he came. Instead, he went around to the restricted area behind him.
He knew very well that no matter what, if Kamara wanted to threaten the goal, he still had to get into the penalty area. Therefore, there was no mistake in waiting for him at the "portal" before entering the restricted area.
He made the right bet.
When he turned around, he didn't see Kamala's back, which made him relieved.
So he accelerated and ran back to his defensive zone.
At the same time, Kamara also rushed over with the ball from the sideline.
The two started a 100-meter race on the sidelines of the court.
Kamara pushed the football forward and began to sprint.
Peng Weijun naturally swung his arms vigorously and drove his body forward.
This is a pure speed competition, without any skills...
Whoever catches up with the football first will take advantage!
There were cheers and exclamations mixed in the stands, and finally there was just shouting.
Amid the shouts, Peng Weijun gritted his teeth and chased after him. He saw the football getting closer and closer, but at the same time, he could feel the sound of wind and breathing approaching him quickly on his right.
This gave him huge psychological pressure, fearing that he would be passed over by Kamala again...
So he decided to take a risk and shovel the football out, just like he did!
He jumped out with a lunge while running at high speed, and then threw all his weight out to try to increase the distance of his leap.
Finally he stretches his legs and slides toward the football!
But just when his foot was about to touch the ball, a foot from the right quickly crossed over and knocked the football away!
He shoveled it all!
Immediately afterwards, a figure passed in front of his eyes and easily jumped over his shoveled legs!
"Kamara!!"
Kamara rushed the football out before Peng Weijun, but Kamara did not slow down, and finally dunked the football back almost on the baseline!
However, Peng Weijun had not yet gotten rid of the inertia at this time, and his body continued to slide forward, unable to do anything to Kamara. Although he wanted to get up from the ground and catch up, he couldn't do it. He could only turn his head and look at the other person's back...
※※※
Kamara, who retrieved the football from the baseline, immediately dunked his right foot toward the center, changed direction and moved sideways to increase his angle.
Whether it was Peng Weijun's tackle or Kamara's quickness, the South China Tigers' defensive players were somewhat unprepared, and the defense in the penalty area had not had time to organize itself.
Only Yao Huasheng came up hastily to defend.
Kamara just shook his upper body and raised his right foot, which made Yao Huasheng think he was going to pass the football to Hu Lai.
So he put his foot out for Kamara's cross.
Duke, the goalkeeper of the South China Tigers, also focused most of his attention on Hu Lai - his eyes quickly glanced towards the center, looking for Hu Lai's position.
This is normal, after all, Hu Lai is only one goal away from his 100th goal to create history.
At this time, anyone will be sure that Kamara will pass the football to Hulay...
But Kamara's right foot was just a fake move. After falling, he supported his body and quickly switched to his left foot to kick the football!
He shot!
"Bang!"
With a muffled sound, the football flew from the left side of Yao Huasheng's body to the near corner of the goal!
Duke didn't expect that Kamara would choose to shoot directly!
His attention is all on Hu Lai...
When he saw the football flying towards the goal before he made any move... it was already too late!
Although he still made the save, he was obviously half a beat too slow.
Before he could wave his hand, the football had already rubbed the inside of the near post and flew into the goal!
"Kamala...danger! Oops!"
When the Madrid Pirates took the lead in the first seven minutes, He Feng cheered because it was Hu Lai's goal.
But now seeing Kamara scoring a goal, He Feng could only sigh.
Before the first half was over, the South China Tigers were two goals behind...
Although before the game, no one was optimistic that the South China Tigers could defeat the Madrid Pirates, it was a sure thing that the latter would advance to the Club World Cup final.
However, the Madrid Pirates took the lead so easily, and the huge gap in strength between the two teams was still frustrating.
Originally, he hoped that the South China Tigers could face strong opponents in the Club World Cup and show the momentum of Chinese football.
After all, after so many years of reform and development, so many Chinese players have made their mark in Europe, which shows that the soil of Chinese football has greatly improved than before. Can the Chinese Super League champions born on this basis be able to compete with European champions?
People like He Feng have such longings and fantasies about this game.
The first half is not over yet, and the Madrid Pirates have easily taken a two-goal lead, making He Feng's expectations and longings look like a joke.
What a fantasy...an unrealistic daydream.
Although before this game, the South China Tigers' main left back Qu Lu was injured, and starting Peng Weijun made a temporary guest appearance.
But this does not affect the final conclusion.
That is, as the top representative of Chinese football, the gap between the South China Tigers and the top European teams is like the geographical distance between the base camps of the two teams - there is an entire Eurasian continent in between!
※※※
Peng Weijun didn't stop until his body hit the billboard behind the baseline, and then he struggled to get up from the ground.
But before he could get up, he saw Kamara score the football from the near corner.
So he lay on the ground as if without any strength, and beat the turf under him hard.
Both goals conceded were initiated from his side!
He originally thought that this Club World Cup semi-final was an excellent stage to showcase himself, but now it seems that it has become his... execution ground!

PS, Chengdu has finally fully lifted its lockdown - an important sign is the start of school!
The initial crisis of being closed at home was the queue for nucleic acid tests and the lack of transportation capacity for online grocery shopping, but these problems soon became non-issues.
The biggest problem in the later period was that I was confined at home with my child. The ten-year-old boy was at an age that even a dog would hate... So my emotions were on the verge of exploding at any time every day.
So although it is said that I am using this time to save manuscripts, in fact, I have not saved much. It is just more than the original three chapters. So far, the number of manuscripts saved is only eight chapters.
But these are no longer problems, because school has started! Everyone celebrates!
To celebrate, double updates will resume starting tomorrow!
