Chinese champion

Chapter 216 The Strongest Midfielder

Pei Wei dribbled the ball in the middle, and beside him, only Zhu Jun was on the sidelines.

In front of him is the entire defense line of the Japanese team, four defenders plus a goalkeeper.

When the Japanese team won the free kick in the frontcourt, the defenders of the Japanese team did not go up to assist. Although there was a reason why the success rate of the free kick was higher than that of the pass, it was also because of their counterattack against Pei Wei and the Chinese team. Zhu Jun was afraid of his speed.

Seeing that the four defenders are ready for battle, the head coach of the Japanese team, Zico, is relieved. It seems that the strategy of not pressing too high on the defender line set before the game is correct. For the Chinese team's quick counterattack, it must be maintained in the backcourt. Number advantage.

Pei Wei quickly observed the situation on the field. Yuji Nakazawa followed closely beside Zhu Jun, and was very careful to be in a parallel position with Zhu Jun, who might be offside at any time. In front of him, that The Japanese-Brazilian Santos has come up aggressively to intercept. Behind them, Tsuneyasu Miyamoto and Makoto Tanaka are ready to support at any time... This counterattack is not easy to fight.

Pei Wei, who was about to slow down the offensive rhythm, suddenly heard the sound of cheering from the stands next to him, and the excited faces of the fans appeared in his mind, his heart was full of enthusiasm, and he was immediately full of pride: Isn't it the four defenders of the little devil?What a deal!
Watch it, let these little Japanese see the extraordinary skills I have honed in La Liga!
Although he thought a lot, it was only a moment. Santos was already close to Pei Wei less than one meter away. Seeing that Pei Wei hadn't reacted yet, he stretched out his foot very quickly to poke the ball under Pei Wei's feet!

Seeing that he was about to touch the ball, Santos saw that Pei Wei's left foot, which was on the left side of the ball, suddenly pulled out and moved to the right side of the ball.
Toss the oxtail!Pei Wei got rid of this Japanese-Brazilian with his Brazilian skills!
Seeing that Santos was thrown away, Miyamoto Tsunesuke and Tanaka Makoto immediately came up to meet them. Originally, the two of them were responding from the rear. As soon as Pei Wei got rid of Santos' defense, he immediately met the pincer attack of the two.

Stepping and pulling on the ball with his left foot, the ball that was rolling on Pei Wei's left side immediately jumped to the right, and Pei Wei's body jumped out to the right at the same time.

The two guards of the Japanese team cooperated tacitly. Tsuneyasu Miyamoto immediately moved to the left to block Pei Wei's advancing route, while Makoto Tanaka stayed in place to prevent Pei Wei from changing direction again and breaking through the middle.

"It's not bad to cooperate!" Pei Wei admired in his heart. Since they have prevented him from changing direction again, he should cooperate with them. After all, you can't let others make a move for nothing, right?
With a flick of his right foot on the right side of the ball, Pei Wei hooked the ball back. Miyamoto Tsuneyasu had been guarding against his hand for a long time, and immediately turned around for the second time, and Makoto Tanaka also came up to meet them. They knew that after two consecutive After the first change of direction, the center of gravity of the person will definitely be unstable, and it is almost impossible to change the direction again. Now they can safely and boldly force Pei Wei, at least let him pass the ball back, maybe they can even pass the ball back. The ball is broken to fight back.

It is indeed impossible for Pei Wei to change direction again. This has nothing to do with strength. It is almost impossible to change direction for the third time after two such drastic changes in a row, unless your physical fitness exceeds the limit of human beings. Although Pei Wei is very flexible, he has not yet reached the point where he is not human.

Seeing Tsuneyasu Miyamoto and Makoto Tanaka approaching from left to right, Pei Wei smiled slightly. He really couldn't change direction, but he could still do other moves.

Just when the two guards were approaching him, Pei Wei suddenly stretched out his foot and stomped on the ball, the ball was suddenly flattened, and then rolled forward in an irregular roll at a very slow speed, while Pei Wei He also took a big step back with the force of the ball's rebound, avoiding the pincer attack of the two defenders.

Pei Wei couldn't change direction just now, but Miyamoto Tsunesuke, who followed Pei Wei twice in a row, was still unable to stabilize his center of gravity. It was fair on this point, but neither of them thought that Pei Wei would use this Way back, seeing Pei Wei disappear in the sight of the two, Tsuneyasu Miyamoto exclaimed, but Makoto Tanaka didn't react, the two bumped into each other hard.

After taking a step back, Pei Wei immediately stood up on the lawn, bypassed the two defenders and chased forward. When he managed to control the ball under his feet, there was only a panicked goalkeeper left in front of him.

Yuji Nakazawa, the last defender of the Japanese team, left Zhu Jun and rushed over, but there was still a certain distance from Pei Wei. Pei Wei raised his left foot and was ready to shoot.

Kawaguchi Nokaku's palms are sweating. The distance between him and Pei Wei is not awkward, about ten meters away. It's too late to attack. If he saves on the spot... at such a short range Can I respond in a timely manner?
Gritting his teeth and stomping his feet, Noho Kawaguchi decided to gamble ahead of time like a penalty kick. When Pei Wei's foot was about to touch the ball, he turned his heart and rushed towards the near post!
Although it was a gamble, Noho Kawaguchi chose the side with a higher probability to attack. Pei Wei shot with his left foot, so the possibility of shooting to the right is higher, and Nakazawa is rushing from the left, invisible Help yourself to seal the side in advance.

But Pei Wei didn't shoot - his kick just passed over the ball. After successfully deceiving the goalkeeper and the defender, Pei Wei already mentioned that the ball on the other side flicked lightly, and the ball rolled to the ground immediately. At the foot of Jun Zhu on the left!

What Zhu Jun has to do is simple, he only needs to push the ball lightly, and the ball will definitely roll into the undefended empty goal!
Although it only takes a light bump to send the ball into the opponent's goal, as if infected by Pei Wei's actions, Zhu Jun also seems to want to draw the most successful end to Pei Wei's long-distance raid!
Almost at the small penalty area line, he kicked his feet and shot half-volley in the air!

With explosive power, the ball sent the net flying high like a cannonball... Almost at the same time, a burst of hoarse cheers erupted from the entire stadium. The cheers were so violent that almost the entire city of BJ could hear it arrive!
In the No.16 minute of the first half, the Chinese team opened the scoring and led the Japanese team 1:0!
31 seconds, this is the exact time from when Wu Qi threw the ball to Pei Wei, to when Zhu Jun shot Pei Wei's pass into the goal.

In just 31 seconds, the Chinese team completed a lightning raid, and the participants of this goal were the three main players of the former Hubei youth team.

When they were still sweating and fighting on the youth team field, did they ever think that they would have such a day to perform on such a big stage with much attention?

Wu Qi may not have thought about it, but he has been working hard, Zhu Jun may not have thought about it, but he has never given up on strengthening his own strength, and Pei Wei, he has never doubted that he can reach this step, and he also I am working hard to achieve this goal step by step.

And now, when Pei Wei and Zhu Jun hug each other, when Wu Qi is pointing his arms to the sky in the backcourt, who knows how much sweat they have put in for this moment today?

The noise of the Workers' Stadium didn't quiet down until after kick-off.

Many fans are still talking about the goal just now, not only because of the wonderfulness of that goal, but in all fairness this goal is indeed wonderful-Wu Qi's throwing ball is powerful and accurate enough to make People were amazed, and Pei Wei's next extraordinary and long-distance attack was even more staggering, and the half-volley shot chosen by Zhu Jun at the last moment brought a perfect end to this goal-when did the Chinese team The players can also play such beautiful cooperation and show such high self-confidence?
It was because the goal was scored by the Japanese team!

Since that goal, the military band in the stands has never stopped. They played music one after another, as if they would never get tired.

From "The Sun in the West Is About to Set" to "Big Knife Slashing the Devils' Heads" to "Tunnel Warfare", the military musicians who were also crazy about it would cause international disputes, and played everything It is this kind of anti-Japanese song!The emotions of the audience were also aroused by these songs.

Hidetoshi Nakata is very annoyed. As the former No. [-] star in Asia, his performance has been getting worse and worse in recent years. He has lost his main position in Parma, and the seizure of power by Chinese players in the European continent has also reduced the number of players in Europe. The most and best-performing Japanese overseas team was trampled below. Originally, the overseas players in the Japanese team in the Asian Cup planned to use a victory to declare to the world: When it comes to football, Asia is still the boss of Japan!

However, in less than 10 minutes of the first half, the Chinese team took the lead, and it was such a wonderful goal!
"We want to win! We are the pride of the Great Japanese Empire! We can't lose to them!" Nakata shouted at other Japanese players. Although he is no longer the number one star in Japan, he is the most successful player in Europe so far. With many overseas players, his prestige is still great.

Junichi Inamoto played for Arsenal in the Premier League, Shinji Ono played for Feyenoord in the Eredivisie, Hidetoshi Nakata played for Parma in Serie A, Shunsuke Nakamura played for Reggina in Serie A.

This midfield combination of the Japanese team first appeared in the East Asian semi-finals in 2003. At that time, AFC officials exclaimed: "This is the most luxurious and terrifying midfield combination in Asia's history!"

It is true that all four players played for the mid-range teams in the five major European leagues. This seems to have never happened in the history of Asian football. In the East Asian semi-finals, the Japanese team also won the championship with a record of three victories. After winning the championship, the Chinese team at that time lost 0:2 without temper.

But today, in the final of the Asian Cup, there was a second team with players from the five major European leagues in the midfield.

Pei Wei, playing for La Liga Mallorca, Zhu Jun, playing for La Liga Sevilla, Zhang Qi, playing for Ligue [-] Monaco, Hu Yong, playing for Serie A Brescia.

Today's final is not only a contest between two teams, but also a contest between two midfielders.

Who is the strongest midfielder in Asia?After this game, there should be a break.

Hidetoshi Nakata dunked the ball past Zhu Jun, and when he saw Sun Ru and Shaoyi approaching him one after the other, he immediately called out decisively; "Nakamura!"

Then the ball was sent to Shunsuke Nakamura.

Nakata passed the ball very well, and he caught the moment when Nakamura got rid of Hu Yong. After Nakamura successfully stopped the ball, Hu Yong had already forced him from behind.

With his back to Hu Yong, Nakamura's left shoulder sank, and then suddenly turned around from the right!
Hu Yong was confused by his feint, and Nakamura took the opportunity to send the ball directly to Takahara Naoyasu in the penalty area.

Gao Yuan buckled with his left foot, and then shot directly with his right foot. A foot suddenly appeared on the ball path and poked the ball.

The ball that had lost its strength was easily held by Wu Qi in his arms, and it was Li Min who was defending just now.

Wu Qi threw the ball to Sun Chenghai on the right, Sun Chenghai took a few steps, and then passed the ball straight to Zhang Qi in front.

Facing Shinji Ono's defense, Zhang Qi got rid of him with a shake, and then went straight forward with the ball.

Seeing Santos approaching, Zhang Qi did not continue to take the ball down, but crossed the ball to Pei Wei's feet in the middle.

"Here we come!" Junichi Inamoto greeted him. Being easily escaped by Pei Wei just now left a shadow in his heart. The defensive ability he was proud of had become a joke in front of Pei Wei's sharp breakthrough.

"I must guard against it this time!" Inamoto cheered himself up in his heart, paying full attention to the ball under Pei Wei's feet.

The ball disappeared under Pei Wei's feet, and Inamoto stepped back immediately—he knew Pei Wei's move was powerful, and he also knew that when Pei Wei used this move, the ball might appear in three directions, and only by retreating Let's observe the origin of the ball in my spare time!
But Pei Wei didn't make a breakthrough. When his left foot stepped in front of the ball, his right foot, which was trailing behind, knocked on the right side of the ball, and the ball immediately flew to the left covertly!

The defensive power of the Japanese team was fooled by Pei Wei collectively, and Zhu Jun easily received the ball. Now he will not be polite. Just now Nakata got rid of him twice, and he wants to get them back one by one!
Relying entirely on the speed of the forced sprint, Zhu Jun threw Nakata away by a full body. When Zhu Jun passed by Nakata's side, Nakata wanted to use his body to knock Zhu Jun away, but he was used to the opponent's behavior for a long time. Zhu Jun dodged Zhongtian's collision just by dodging lightly, and Zhongtian, who couldn't hold back his feet, almost threw himself out of the sideline.

After Zhu Jun hit the bottom line and made a pass, Shaoyi nodded and swung the ball. Li Jinyu resisted Makoto Tanaka's close-fitting squeeze and shook his head to attack the goal, but the ball was slightly higher than the crossbar.

There was a burst of sighing from the Chinese fans, everyone felt sorry for the missed goal, but soon, the voice of "China team, come on!" became louder.

"It's been so many years since there was such a cheering sound in Gongti!" an old policeman on duty on the sidelines sighed. He is a policeman, but he is also a fan!He became a member of the police when the "May 5 Incident" that shocked China and the world happened. On this court, he witnessed the failure of the Chinese team. I want to take off my police uniform and have a good time with those sad fans!It's a pity that he is a policeman, and his reason tells him that he can only go up to maintain order, instead of pouring a spoonful of oil in the middle.

Today, he is proud of his identity!Because he saw such a competitive performance of the Chinese team at close range, except that he felt a little regretful that he could not applaud...

On the court, Hu Yong shoveled the ball from Nakamura's feet with a beautiful tackle, and handed it to Pei Wei. Pei Wei pushed the ball forward while the ball was still rolling, and the ball passed between Inamoto's legs. After passing through in time, Shaoyi, who retreated out of the penalty area, flicked the rolled ball horizontally, and Zhang Qi, who inserted it, shot directly, and the ball was narrowly saved by Kawaguchi.

Pei Wei took a corner kick, and Du Wei jumped high and overwhelmed the opponent's two defenders. The ball bounced off the top of the crossbar.

After Hu Yong plugged in the through ball, Pei Wei pretended to take the ball, but let the ball pass between his legs. Shaoyi, who was running over, took the ball sideways for a few steps, then suddenly kicked up and shot, and the ball went wide bottom line.

Zhu Jun dribbled the ball from the side, first pretending to cut inside, and after attracting the defense of the opponent's two defenders, passed the ball to Sun Ru, who was inserted into the edge. Out of the penalty area, Pei Wei hit the ball, but it hit Makoto Tanaka and bounced off the sideline.

For nearly 10 minutes, the Japanese team was overwhelmed by the fierce offensive of the Chinese team. Their midfielders retreated step by step, almost becoming four defenders.

At least in these three 10 minutes, the Chinese team gained a huge advantage in the midfield, the Japanese team's midfield side was completely unstoppable, Nakamura was unable to move an inch under Hu Yong's defense, and Inamoto couldn't restrain Pei Wei's performance at all , The so-called "confrontation of the strongest midfielder", the Chinese team won a complete victory.

"The confrontation of the strongest midfielder is simply incomparable!" Xiao Jun sneered from the sidelines: "Inamoto's two years at Arsenal was basically a substitute among the substitutes, and he didn't play a few times. Parma also only played the main force for a few games, and was replaced because of poor performance. It is not as good as it was in Perugia and Rome a few years ago. Ono's position has also begun to be unstable, and Van Persie has begun to replace him. Only Nakamura is the core of the team, how can such a famous midfielder compete with the Chinese midfielders who have become the absolute main force and the core of offense and defense in their respective clubs!"
