World's No.1 Football Manager

Chapter 151 People stand on the sidelines, but the pot comes from the sky

Kashima Antlers is a traditional strong team in Japan's J-League. It was founded by the Japanese company Sumitomo Metal Industries in 1947. It has won the J-League, League Cup, Emperor's Cup and Japanese Super Cup for many times, and won the AFC Champions Trophy for the first time in 2018.It is a strong team at the Asian championship level, and there are many old and new stars such as Atsuto Uchida, Yuma Suzuki, Yukui Abe, Kento Sangan, and Quan Juntai.

The third and fourth rounds of the AFC Champions League group stage are back-to-back contests.In the third round, the Taishan team and Kashima Antlers drew 2:2 at the Kashima Football Stadium in Ibaraki Prefecture, Japan.In this round, the two teams moved to the Olympic Sports Center for a rematch and a showdown.

This game is very important to the Taishan team. As long as they can take advantage of the home court to win their opponents, they will definitely qualify for the group with 10 points, and they don't need to be dragged down by the remaining two AFC Champions League group matches.

This has an extremely important impact on the strategic trend of the entire season.

Therefore, this game must be won!
Gao Yuan's analysis report on this game is very detailed.In fact, there is no need for him to collect too much information, because the two sides are already very familiar with each other after the previous confrontation, basically it is playing the bright cards, a competition and contest of pure strength!
Playing Japanese teams, tactics are obvious.During the War of Resistance Against Japan, Li Yunlong, the head of the regiment, pointed out a clear path for all Chinese people: use Italian cannons to bombard me with his mother!
There happens to be an Italian cannon in the Taishan team-the former main center of the Italian national team Pellet!

The focus of the training in the past few days is very clear, that is, all kinds of high-altitude balls, direct high balls from the backcourt, bottom crosses, 45-degree explosions... All in all, they are aimed at Pellet's head.

Pellet has lived in China for many years. He knows the meaning of this game to the team and is eager to try. Not only did he send a big red envelope of 3000 yuan to boost morale in the team group, but it is also said that he slept in a separate bed with his supermodel wife Valga for several days in order to recharge his batteries and work hard on the court.

The AFC Champions League game was held in the middle of the week. Although it was a working day and even though it had just lost to Evergrande, it still did not affect the fans' enthusiasm for watching the game. The Olympic Sports Center flooded with 4 fans, many of whom came from the whole province and even the whole country.

Before the game started, the fans sang spontaneously. The loud and clear singing of "The sun in the west is about to set, the devil's doom is coming" and "The big knife cuts off the devil's head", one after another, stimulated the hearts of the Taishan team members and their blood boiled.

Gao Yuan, who was sitting on the bench, was secretly startled: Is this a professional football field?It was so shocking!If domestic football stadiums can have such attendance and popularity in every game, then the take-off of Chinese football will be just around the corner.

When the national flag was raised and the national anthem was played, the shocking scene of 4 people singing the national anthem pushed the fiery atmosphere in the stadium to the climax, making every Chinese person in the stadium get goosebumps with excitement.

In such a hot atmosphere, the players of the Japanese team frowned and looked stern.

With the whistle of the referee, the game began.

The Kashima Antlers kicked off first, and the audience booed loudly.

Perhaps due to the huge pressure created by the fans, the Japanese striker did not dare to take the ball to attack, but returned the ball to the midfielder for stability, and the midfielder did not dare to take the ball and returned it to the defender.

As soon as the defender received the ball, he saw the players of the Taishan team rushing towards them amidst the cheers of the fans, with an aura of being the best.The defender didn't dare to be careless, and hurriedly passed the ball back to the goalkeeper.

Seeing the players of Kashima Antlers frightened by the momentum of the home court and blindly passing back to avoid the battle, the fans on the scene became more imposing. The cheers and sarcasm of the Japanese team were mixed with the sneer at the Japanese team, echoing over the Olympic Sports Center.

Kashima team goalkeeper Quan Chuntai saw the ball came to his feet, he didn't dare to be careless, he hurriedly mustered his strength, and kicked forward with a big foot to clear the dangerous area first.

The character of the Japanese is very rigid. During World War II, their infantry drills stipulated that they were not allowed to fire guns when fighting bayonets, so many soldiers unloaded their bullets before hand-to-hand combat.

Similarly, their football style is also very rigid. They have been educated since they were young, and they are never allowed to use their feet blindly.

However, Quan Chuntae is Korean and has not received Japanese youth training, so he doesn't have so many scruples.

Therefore, this kick was unexpected, not only beyond the expectations of teammates, but also beyond the expectations of the Taishan team.

The Taishan team's defense line saw the Kashima Antlers' ball go back, but unexpectedly, a big foot flew over in a blink of an eye.

Jill made a quick judgment and headed the ball to make a clearance.But seeing the ball was about to fall, Jill's foot slipped suddenly and almost fell, and the ball flew over his head.

Jill actually took the top off!
Sho Ito, the forward of the Japanese team, has a very keen sense of smell. As soon as Jill made a mistake, he rushed to get the ball immediately.

Then he moved forward quickly and entered the restricted area.

In the penalty area, the Japanese player was very calm. First, he made a false shot with his right foot and made a real dunk, shaking off Dai Lin who was defending. Then he did not adjust and shot with his left foot. The ball drew an arc, bypassing Wang Dalei's block, and flew into the net.

In less than 1 minute of the opening, the Kashima Antlers actually took the lead!

The Olympic Sports Center, which was so lively just now, seemed to freeze instantly and there was no movement.

This is too fast!An unexpected big foot, an inexplicable mistake, in exchange for an incredible goal.

Li Xiaopeng was also dumbfounded, and it took him a long time to come to his senses, and angrily kicked over a mineral water bottle on the sidelines.

The Taishan team almost started the game with a score of 0:1.

As if a pot of cold water had been poured over their heads, the fiery atmosphere in the stadium weakened significantly, and the fans who were still alive just now were a little sluggish.

The morale of the Taishan players was also affected to a certain extent. They were not excited enough to play, and the tactic of grabbing the start that was originally arranged before the game could not be played.

The game was deadlocked.

Li Xiaopeng, Gao Yuan, Fabio and others were very anxious, because the Japanese team is very good at passing and controlling. Once the rhythm of the game cannot be raised and the ball is controlled by the opponent, they will be led by the nose and the game will not be played.

Li Xiaopeng shouted the names of the players on the sidelines, reminding them to get excited.

Gao Yuan was young and energetic, and couldn't sit still anymore. He stood up involuntarily, and shouted along with Li Xiaopeng.

"Woo!" The referee blew his whistle suddenly, and ran towards the Taishan team's bench.

Gao Yuan is still wondering, why is this old Saudi guy interrupting the game?The Saudi referee ran to Gao Yuan, pointed to the sidelines, "You out"

"What the fuck!" Gao Yuan was forced, what's the situation, just let yourself out?

As soon as that sentence came out, the Saudi referee gave Gao Yuan a ruby ​​card without saying a word.

Gao Yuan was sent off!
Gao Yuan's brain fell into a short-circuit state, and he froze for 5 seconds before walking to the locker room under the persuasion of the Taishan players.

On the way out, Gao Yuan was still thinking about what the hell was going on?
It took a lot of effort for Gao Yuan to understand that he was so excited that he unconsciously felt that he had run into the coach's command area.According to FIFA regulations, there can only be one person standing and directing on the bench.When playing in the league before, domestic referees were not strict with this card. Therefore, Gao Yuan, Fabio and others all had the experience of standing on the bench, but were not punished, but this time they encountered a serious Saudi referee.

And this old Saudi guy probably doesn't speak English very well, and he must have not passed CET-[-] or CET-[-]. When he said "out" at the beginning, he probably meant to let himself go back to the bench.And I subconsciously said "What the fuck!" I guess the old man didn't understand it, he only understood the universal word "fuck" and thought he was scolding him, so he sent himself off.

Damn, it's really people standing on the sidelines, the pot comes from the sky!
