The Ball at Your Feet

: 67 The first half of the game

When the second game started, in addition to the injured Sun Jihe, Fan Zhiyi was also absent due to injury. Zhao Yaning occupied the right forward position of Sun Jihe, while Du Wei was replaced at the back line.

Another change that surprised Zhao Yaning was that Yang Xi on the front line was replaced.

Yang Xi played well in the last game. Although he did not score a goal, he was a little soft when shooting, but these situations are very normal for a player who participated in the competition for the first time. But in this game, the coach did not hesitate to put him on the bench. If he said that it had nothing to do with Dazhen's private operation, Zhao Yaning would absolutely not believe it.

Thinking of this, he understands why Zhang Yuan has always emphasized that after arriving in the national team, he must have a good relationship with the team's big brothers anyway. In this place, the country does not rely entirely on strength when playing football, but more on the handling of interpersonal relationships and the competition of status in the arena. Even if it is outstanding, but if there is not enough communication skills, there is no future.

Zhao Yaning is very lucky. He has a smart person like Zhang Yuan who can take care of him and teach him how to do it. At the same time, he is still born in a major sports province. There are many fellow villagers who speak for him and help him. His national team is the way to go. Go smoothly. Otherwise, with his own temper and unintelligible brain, the national team for him, even if it weren't Longtan Tiger's Lair, was an unfathomable deep water, and he would be fine if he entered.

Yang Xi is an example. Although his qualifications are older than Zhao Yaning, he became famous earlier than Zhao Yaning, and he also played in foreign countries and played fairly well. But so what? If the big brothers of the national team want to do something, he has no room to resist.

After replacing Yang Xi, the team replaced Zhao Junzhe, and the midfielder also changed from the diamond midfielder in the previous game to a double-back midfielder and three midfielder.

The Brazil goalkeeper is Marcos, and the three defenders are Lucio, Edmilson and Junior. And further ahead, Cafu and Carlos served as offensive full-backs respectively, Gilberto served as the midfielder, and Grand Juninho served as the front midfielder. In front, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho and Rivaldo's strikers.

Very luxurious. This is Zhao Yaning's only feeling. Although many people think that compared to 98, the Brazilian team this year is not so good, there are not enough stars, and the momentum is not enough, but Zhao Yaning's psychology is not true. The big Juninho, Edmilson, Ronaldinho, and even Gilberto are indeed not well-known, but they are definitely powerful players. Compared with them, the Brazilian team in 1998 is more famous, but in terms of strength, it is not necessarily much stronger. It's just that there was an unparalleled alien in Brazil that year, who was seen too much.

But even in the face of such a powerful enemy, it is not completely without any chance. This is Zhao Yaning's next thought.

This is the first time I have faced such a powerful enemy, and it is still in such a big big game. The more this is the time, the more I need to be calm, and I need to think about how to play.

As long as you see the relaxed smile on the Brazilians' faces, you know that they did not regard this game as a big deal. The arrogant soldiers will lose. Zhao Yaning thinks that this principle also makes sense for the Brazilians. The Brazilians are not serious enough to do things is something that football knows, but also against opponents like the Chinese team, they can't stand up, maybe they will be succeeded by themselves?

However, in the face of such an opponent, if you want a sneak attack, you must score at the beginning. Otherwise, it is possible for them to achieve what kind of results they play. But if they are caught off guard before they enter the state, the result is not necessarily true.

And the situation after the start of the game is indeed advancing in the direction Zhao Yaning imagined.

Less than three minutes after the opening, when Zhao Junzhe made a kick to strike forward Hao Da Pao, Hao Da Pao turned his back and passed it to Zhao Yaning. Zhao Yaning hardly hesitated, accelerated directly and rushed into the restricted area.

Zhao Yaning was able to rush into the penalty area at the beginning, and it did arouse a lot of applause.

It's just that this time the breakthrough, the thunder and the rain have been reduced. Cafu quickly posted it, clinging to Zhao Yaning stubbornly, forcing Zhao Yaning to slow down, and at the same time, Cafu also used a step to squeeze Zhao Yaning away from the goal. On the front, Edmilson immediately concealed and grabbed the ball at Zhao Yaning's feet.

"Little guy, we met again. But it seems you haven't made much progress." Edmilson smiled triumphantly, Zhao Yaning glared at him, and ran away without saying anything.

He is not used to using words as a weapon to fight back. And Edmilson's contemptuous attitude is exactly what Zhao Yaning needs most.

He just wants to relax his opponent so that he can take advantage of it.

The opportunity to fight back came in less than a minute.

Hao Da Pao got the ball in the penalty area and was squeezed by Lucio with no chance of shooting. But he turned his back and knocked the ball back. Zhao Yaning ran to the position immediately and raised his right foot high.

Twenty meters from the goal, the location is perfect, and I feel very good...

Shoot!

The football was kicked by him with a fierce volley. As Qiu Fei got up, Zhao Yaning felt a sense of exhalation in his heart: the pressure of playing against the Brazil team was too much. Zhao Yaning always felt that if he hadn't taken a kick like this, he would be uncomfortable.

If he doesn't score, he will be suffocated if he pushes the ball with little effort.

The ball was obviously hit high, and this excellent shot did not change the score. However, Zhao Yaning felt that this feeling was necessary. After this kick, his mood improved a lot, and that little cowardice had long been thrown out of the clouds.

Soon, he got another chance on the left.

When Ma Mingyu in front of the penalty area failed to break through and chose to pass, Zhao Yaning, who was quickly inserted, became his first choice.

And Zhao Yaning also greeted the ball, kicked the ball towards the gate with a kick.

The ball flew to the upper left corner of the goal. Marcos jumped hard, but the angle of the ball was still a bit too tricky. The football almost rubbed his fingertips, rushed into the net, and brought the net high.

1-0.

Loud cheers erupted around. Zhao Yaning also didn’t know whether the cheers were for him or just because the people watching the game didn’t want to lose their suspense prematurely. He hoped to see the Chinese team arouse the Brazilians’ fighting spirit and make the Brazilians get serious. . But no matter what, in this game, Zhao Yaning's goal is already an early harvest.

He clenched his fists and gestured to the crowd around him. This made the crowd of onlookers cheered even more, and also made the Brazilian standing in front of him even more embarrassed.

"Didn't you say you watched him?"

Junior glanced angrily at Edmilson. Edmilson looked a little embarrassed. He himself said that he wanted to guard against Zhao Yaning, but it was because he remembered that Zhao Yaning made him lose his ugliness last time, so he said this sentence. Thinking about it now, he didn't know enough about Zhao Yaning. Apart from knowing that this kid had a pair of scuds, he knew almost nothing. He doesn't care about the French second game. Although he has heard about Zhao Yaning's performance this year, the source of his confidence is more recognition of his own strength. Zhao Yaning's shot came a bit unexpectedly, and it also made him pay the price for his underestimation.

"But it's okay." Cafu laughed from the side, "This way, we can enter the state faster."

When the game started again, Zhao Yaning found that the Brazilian started to get serious.

In the sixth minute, after Carlos made a long pass to Ronaldo, although he was closely guarded by three guards, Ronaldo broke through the enclosure and passed the ball to Ronaldo. It's just that Li's head arrived in time and broke the ball out of the bottom line, so that the Chinese team would not be behind after only a few minutes.

And followed by a cross from the right side of Juninho, which was received by the Chinese goalkeeper.

When he was in danger, Zhao Yaning also knew his space to play-this kind of situation where he was besieged by his opponents and then attacked by himself, wasn't it the football that he played on the small island of Corsica for a long time?

This situation is exactly what I want.

When Zhao Junzhe gave the ball to his feet, he almost didn't hesitate to pass the ball to Hao Dapao in front of him with a long pass.

But it is a pity that Hao Dapao did not stop the ball, and this opportunity in the penalty area was wasted.

But the opportunity soon came again.

When Li Gang passed the ball to his feet in the 12th minute, he did not hesitate to start the long-distance attack he was most used to along the right.

Such a speed... Cafu was a little surprised to see it on the other side road. How did he run so fast?

Fortunately, compared to speed, the Brazilian team has never fallen behind.

Carlos shoveled it, and Zhao Yaning immediately flew up. After the referee ran over, he immediately handed out a yellow card.

"Robby, be careful," Gilberto reminded from the side.

"Don't worry, I know how to measure." Carlos just smiled, "This kid is a bit too crazy, don't give him two heavy hits, he can't control him. I can't let him kick smoothly."

Gilberto said nothing, nodded and walked away. He believes in Carlos's game experience, when to foul and when to be cautious, Carlos himself knows.

Sure enough, as Carlos expected, when Zhao Yaning rubbed his calf and stood up, he immediately left Carlos' coverage.

This is enough. Carlos looked at him and laughed. Young people lack experience in competitions and don't know when to be tough and when to be soft. Therefore, there will be inappropriate fouls and inexplicable disappearance. Carlos is not familiar with Zhao Yaning’s playing style, nor is he a full-back who is good at defensively. He analyzed all Zhao Yaning’s playing methods from a few moves, which is not what he is good at. He ran with Zhao Yaning throughout the game and stared at him. Zhao Yaning is not what he wants to do. However, he can see Zhao Yaning's age, and thus judge his opponent's lack of experience in the game, and set various traps for him, which is enough.

But there is still a pity. Carlos shook his head. Zhao Yaning's choice was to accept the soft side and not head-to-head with Carlos. Although the threat would be reduced, there was still a threat. If he is willing to be harder, just head-on with Carlos-Carlos is sure to create a small trap, let this little guy under twenty years old take a beautiful red card and go to the field early to watch the game. .

It's a pity, why isn't this guy having a bad temper.

Soon, there was a turning point in the game. In the fifteenth minute, at a distance of 25 meters from the goal, Li's big head pushed Ronaldinho down and the Brazil team got a free kick.

"Who is coming?" Rivaldo looked at the free kick and turned to look at Ronaldinho.

It stands to reason that Ronaldinho should have come, after all, he created a free kick, and his free throw level is also very good. Since there is no free-kick master like Juninho who convinces everyone on the court, it is natural who made the penalty.

However, Rivaldo is the core of the Brazilian national team's frontcourt, and it makes sense for him to take the penalty. What's more, Rivaldo is also the veteran of the national team, and his status is much higher than Ronaldinho.

Ronaldinho glanced at the location of the free kick, somewhat uncertain.

"Forget it, let me go." Carlos saw the nastyness of the two people and walked up immediately. "Your kind of soft free kicks are meaningless. Let me come and let you guys. See what power is."

So much the better. His interjection and attack caused Rivaldo and Ronaldinho to retreat, standing on the left and right sides, covering him.

At this time, Zhao Yaning became a member of the human wall. Looking at the three people in front of him, he felt like he couldn't cry.

The talents of the Brazil team are at their peak. Ronaldinho, Rivaldo and Carlos stand in front of the free kick at the same time, which is really bullying.

Carlos retreated for a certain distance, accelerated suddenly, and ran. As soon as his foot hit the ball, Zhao Yaning swears that he definitely heard the sound of the ball being squeezed and deformed!

How much power does it take to shoot such a ball?

The belt slid past his ears with a whistling sound. Although the goalkeeper had already made a save, there was no possibility of a save at all. The angle is tricky, but such a fast speed is definitely the only thing Zhao Yaning has seen in his life.

The ball used in the 2002 World Cup was called the Flying Shooting Star, and when the ball hit the net, Zhao Yaning really understood the origin of the second shooting star.

He is not even interested in caring, the result of the game has been rewritten to a 1-1 draw.

This goal is far more memorable than the game itself.

But soon, he understood the consequences of letting Brazil play smoothly.

In the 20th minute, Cafu shot the goal after a counter-robbing in the frontcourt. After being saved, Ronaldo's supplementary shot was destroyed.

In the 22nd minute, Ronaldinho scored the ball to Carlos, Carlos made a wing pass, Ronaldinho fouled.

In the twenty-third minute, Carlos's left long shot was saved from the bottom line, and Rivaldo opened a corner kick and was saved again.

In a few minutes, the Brazilian team continued to besiege and attacked, and the Chinese team was in danger.

This is the real strength comparison between the two teams.

Zhao Yaning looked helplessly at such a game. During this period of time, he could hardly touch the ball, and in such a situation, even if he got the ball, he couldn't change the situation on the court.

In the twenty-fifth minute, the game turned around again.

Du Wei pulled Ronaldinho in front of the penalty area. Just when everyone felt like there was a free kick, the Swedish referee Frisk took out a yellow card and pointed it at Ronaldinho.

Flop.

"I didn't flop, I didn't..." Ronaldinho explained angrily. Just now, he really didn't think about fighting the pull, but the opponent's foul action was also obvious. How could it be considered a flop? Such a penalty is too much!

However, the referee remained unmoved and insisted that it was a flop.

"Mr. Referee, he is not a diving."

Amid the clamor of teammates, a French voice silenced everyone. Zhao Yaning stood there and explained to the referee, "He is not a diving, you may be mistaken..."

"Please don't question my law enforcement." The referee warned. Although the words were addressed to Zhao Yaning, his eyes swept around all the Brazilians before turning away.

Zhao Yaning shrugged, made a helpless gesture to Ronaldinho, and left. The reason why he did this was because he really felt that the ball was not a flop, and also because the Brazilians were too vigorous. If they blindly besiege, the Chinese team's goal will be lost sooner or later. Some changes must be made to Brazil Human momentum. Zhao Yaning pretended not to be the captain's material, but he had seen how other captains did it. A sentence or two of exchanges at this time may have unexpected benefits.

Sure enough, Ronaldinho gave him a grateful look before turning to leave.

Then, in the 27th minute, Cafu made a diagonal pass from the right, and Ronaldo made another handball when he unloaded the ball under the double-team of the two players. Although the referee did not draw the card this time, the continuous blowing and stopping of the game weakened the Brazilian's momentum a lot.

This is an opportunity—Zhao Yaning has this consciousness soon.

The ball came out quickly, Zhao Yaning took the ball on the right side of the penalty area, looked at Carlos in front, took the ball to the middle and ran away towards the middle. This kind of play made Carlos a daze: As an offensive full-back, his main defense method is to get stuck, chase, tackle, one-on-one defense is not his strong point, but Zhao Yaning does not choose. Breaking through with him one-on-one, but walking towards the middle, is it really frightened?

Or, this guy wants to completely disrupt the Brazilian team's midfield defensive system by relying on this irregular running method?

His thoughts soon had an answer. Zhao Yaning faced Gilberto, a simple acceleration change to throw him away, before the arrival of the supplemented Lucio, he stepped to the left and ran directly to the left.

Gilberto and Lucio followed, and Erdemisson followed. The entire Brazilian team's defense was messed up by his running position, and it was empty next to each other.

There are loopholes and it is not safe. At this time... Carlos was pleased to see Cafu tackled with a kick, and Zhao Yaning's ball was tackled cleanly.

It's a foul at this time, Carlos thought. If he was left alone to mess up Brazil's defense line, it would not only be a joke, but also...

He suddenly froze.

He suddenly discovered that the frontcourt attackers of the Chinese team did not make any effective moves to match Zhao Yaning's unconstrained moves this time. On the contrary, because of Zhao Yaning's large diagonal running position, their space for activity has been compressed a lot, and there is even a problem of running chaos.

This is not a premeditated tactic, but a whim of a personal movement? Carlos only became interested. This kind of position movement, both in terms of vision and his guts, is very remarkable.

If you consider the actual effect, it will be even more remarkable. It's just a pity that his teammates didn't understand his running intentions. If he had a smarter teammate, it would be troublesome. But looking at it now, they don't have many smart people, so if there is only one point, it's much easier to handle.

No need for Edmilson, this guy, I'll play with him.

Zhao Yaning took a free kick. This time, instead of hitting the goal directly, he twisted the ball into a large arc and hit the back point of the goal. Li Da's head hit the ball, but he didn't have the strength to hold it, and was directly confiscated by Marcos.

The Pakistan team immediately launched a counterattack. After Edmilson kicked the anti-aircraft gun, Cafu's right cross was cleared by Duvy's header~www.wuxiaspot.com~ But the ball fell to Ronaldinho’s feet, it was a pick on Little Roma, and the ball fell. The point was five meters in front of the goal, and Rivaldo easily changed the score to 2-1.

At this time, Zhao Yaning was also in a predicament-he felt that Carlos had begun to target him specifically, which made it difficult for him to play.

Every time he gets the ball, Carlos will immediately stick to it, not only squeezing Zhao Yaning with his body, but also with some foul moves, which makes it extremely difficult for Zhao Yaning to play. Every time he settled, he happened to be on the trajectory of this year's breakthrough. And if Zhao Yaning tries to get the ball away from him, he will tackle very decisively, making it impossible for Zhao Yaning to make a smooth breakthrough.

The speed can't be compared, the strength can't fight, this is the first time Zhao Yaning has encountered such an opponent.

And Carlos is also a little surprised: as an offensive full-back, his defensive ability is not excellent, except for tackle skills, his defensive skills are not top-notch. Now he can still rely on his own experience, awareness, and the foul treatment that some big-name stars should have to gain an advantage. When he meets again in the future, this kid has enough experience and has a strong body. What can he rely on to prevent him? When did Asia have such freaks?

Fortunately, at least in this cup, he couldn't break through me.

After Zhao Yaning misfired, the Chinese team lost an important frontcourt attack point, and the Brazilian team once again brought the game into their grasp. Juninho made a pass, Ronaldo arched a free kick, and Juninho made another pass. All of a sudden, there was a lot of noise in front of the Chinese team.

And in the forty-fourth minute, after Li Datou pulled Ronaldo in the penalty area, a penalty kick made the Chinese team completely into the abyss.

3-1, the first half of the game is not over yet, the Chinese team has nothing to fight back.
