Chapter 369: World-class goalkeepers from both sides beat Thailand and advance to the U23 Asian Cup
The Buriram Stadium was drowned out by the cheers of Thai fans.
Subachai ran to the side of the court and hugged head coach Akira Nishino, who kept shouting, "Well done! We are the ones who have the initiative now. We will compact the overall formation and defend with all our strength in the backcourt. If we can drag the game to the end, we will win!"
As the former head coach of the Japanese team, Nishino Akira was naturally eager to make the Chinese team taste the taste of defeat when he saw his team being beaten 5-0.
So what if I win the Golden Globe!
There are countless examples in the world of football of weak teams successfully defending against strong teams by parking the bus. Why can't Thailand do it?
In the stands, Thailand U23 manager Wu Lunpan was also cheering and waving in celebration.
There has never been a female president of the Thai Football Association today, and she believes that as long as they can beat the Chinese team, new history will be created.
On the contrary, in the Chinese team's coaching booth, Fu Bo and others had anger written all over their faces, but when they found the fourth official to communicate, they got no response.
"Fuck you!"
Fu Bo smashed the mineral water bottle to the ground, splashing a lot of water.
The AFC has been targeting China for a long time.
For example, in the 2004 Asian Cup final, the Japanese team defeated the Chinese team in handball to win the championship.
"Don't worry! We have the upper hand in strength, maybe we can turn the tables soon-"
The assistant coach looked at the court in amazement before he could finish his words.
Lin Liangming was double-teamed by two defensive players and passed the ball to the middle with great difficulty!
"Back off! Back off! Back off!"
Ti Dawi shouted as he retreated.
Because the back line was too close to Chu Feng and lacked sufficient depth, it was easy for him to step over it in one step.
He still remembers the Champions League final, when Chu Feng relied on his powerful explosive power to break through the entire defense line of Real Madrid in one step.
Upon hearing this, Subachu, Sharingan and others quickly retreated, trying to reorganize the defense line at the front of the penalty area to form a multi-point siege defense against Chu Feng.
"Push forward! He's going to shoot from far away!"
Thailand goalkeeper Golap was extremely anxious.
The next second, his breathing seemed to stagnate.
Under the watchful eyes of tens of thousands of Thai fans.
Chu Feng quickly adjusted his posture!
The right leg is raised high like a battle axe chopping down!
The violent force poured out like a hot and raging volcano, as if to completely tear every inch of the leather of the football!
boom! ! !
Accompanied by a loud explosion that resounded through the sky!
The football suddenly deformed violently, turning into a blurry black shadow, whizzing towards the goal!
Golapa stretched to his limit and leapt forward.
In the end, he didn't even touch the shadow of the football.
1:1! ! !
"The goal went in!"
"Unsolvable world wave!"
“The ultimate aesthetic of violence!”
"The super long shot from 33 meters away ruthlessly blasted open the Thai team's goal and brought the game back to the starting line!"
"Chu Feng! Everything within sight is within range!"
"In the 29th minute of the first half, the Chinese team equalized the score!"
The Buriram Stadium suddenly became quiet, with only the cheers of Chinese fans remaining.
Chu Feng did not celebrate, but waved his hand, signaling his teammates to go back.
Just one goal, it’s not over yet!
"come on! Come on!"
The Chinese players clenched their fists and roared.
That penalty was really frustrating.
But since the game was still in progress, the only thing they could do was score a goal and completely shatter Thailand’s dream!
The Thai players not far away looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
At this moment, they felt the gap, which could not be made up by tactics or desperate efforts.
The success rate of long shots over 30 meters is generally very low, even in the top five leagues.
But Chu Feng used a violent long-range shot to blast open their goal.
"We still have a chance! If he gets the ball again, someone must go up to prevent him from taking a long shot, and the assist defense must also be in place!"
Thailand goalkeeper Golapa inspires his teammates.
But the Thai players did not recover from this, instead they gave Golapa a strange look.
You make it sound so easy, but it's not that easy to prevent the ball from being kicked and to provide assisting defense.
However, they will not lose their fighting spirit because they have so many fans supporting them and they will persevere even if they have to grit their teeth.
Soon, the game started again.
Thailand strengthened its defense against Chu Feng. Whenever he had the ball, three people would surround him and forcibly and roughly block him from moving forward.
However, because a lot of energy was focused on Chu Feng, the intensity of the attack dropped significantly.
The situation on the field seemed to have become stalemate, but in fact the Chinese team still had the advantage.
Lin Liangming and Cao Yongjing's breakthroughs on the wings both made relatively good progress, and midfielder Duan Liuyu also had an easy environment holding the ball.
The Thai team was caught in a difficult situation because Chu Feng had been suppressing the back line, making them afraid to push too far forward as a whole, otherwise there would be a disconnect.
And disconnection means gaps.
Football fans all over the world know that Chu Feng’s grasp of space and opportunities is no less than that of the ultimate opportunist - Inzaghi.
No one dared to expose space in front of him and could only move along with his movements.
Chu Feng's sudden lateral run took away two defensive players.
Duan Liuyu did not hesitate when seeing this, and kicked the ball diagonally to the right side of the penalty area!
Although the passing accuracy was not very good, the defensive players were restrained by Chu Feng, so Cao Yongjing was able to easily receive the ball and then change direction to enter the penalty area!
It was only then that the Thai full-back Mechu reacted and without saying a word he pounced fiercely on Cao Yongjing.
Cao Yongjing did not hesitate to pass the ball horizontally, looking for Chu Feng who was running towards the front of the penalty area.
Perhaps it was the referee's obvious bias that made the Thai players unscrupulous and they pushed Chu Feng secretly from behind.
Chu Feng staggered and tried to shoot, but when Sharingan blocked him from the side, his raised foot brushed past the court!
"Where's the ball?"
"Leaked!"
"Shalingan and Golapa didn't react in time, the ball slipped under Shalingan's crotch and went to the back post. Did anyone from the Chinese team follow up?!"
"Lin Liangming!"
"Shovel shot! The ball goes in!"
"Only eight minutes after the last goal, the Chinese team scored again against Thailand, changing the score from 1:1 to 1:2!"
"reverse!"
Zhan Jun couldn't help but stand up.
Although he has been commentating for so many years, he has already felt professional fatigue and his passion for watching football has diminished a lot.
But when I see the national team competitions, my mood can’t help but fluctuate drastically.
Lin Liangming ran towards Chu Feng excitedly and jumped onto him. "Brother Chu, I knew you might miss it!"
"They may adjust their tactics later. You should try to move to the side as much as possible."
Chu Feng just observed that Thailand's formation was in the center, with many players crowded in the middle, resulting in wide open flanks.
The Chinese team can easily open up the situation from the flanks. By then, the space in Thailand's hinterland will become larger, and they will have more options for running, making it easier for them to cooperate with teammates on the flanks.
"understand!"
Lin Liangming and others shouted.
The game starts again.
Before the Thai players could catch their breath, the Chinese team took advantage of the situation and launched a wave of attacks.
Their idea was simple: score another goal before the end of the first half and go into the halftime break with a two-goal lead.
"The Thai team defended very resolutely, committing consecutive fouls in non-key areas to stop the Chinese team's advancement!"
"Although I really don't want to say it, the referee was indeed biased and suspected of using the home whistle! And this is not the first time such a situation has happened!"
"I don't know what kind of explanation the AFC will give after the game, but I hope the competition environment will be fairer in the future!"
Zhan Jun is on an unofficial platform, so he can speak his mind.
Misjudgments in competitions are a very normal thing. There have been many cases of misjudgment in top competitions such as the Champions League and the World Cup.
But the inconsistent standards of penalties are definitely a problem for the referees.
Of course, the same thing has happened in football, with the 2002 World Cup in Korea and Japan, the many matches between Chelsea and Barcelona, and so on.
Fu Bo on the sidelines had already written a report and lodged a complaint with FIFA after the game.
That’s right, since the AFC is corrupt, don’t go to them, go directly to its superiors.
Time passed by minute by minute, and when the referee blew the whistle, the score remained unchanged.
After returning to the locker room.
"No matter what, winning today's game is the primary goal. The referee is favoring the Thai team, so we will try to widen the score gap as much as possible and completely kill the Thai team's hope!"
"So, everyone must control their emotions and play this game calmly. We will handle the subsequent appeals and complaints!"
Fu Bo said, suppressing his anger.
If irrational behavior due to anger ultimately allows the Thai team to advance to the semi-finals, the only victim will be the Chinese team.
"Well, what Coach Fu said makes sense, but we should not be afraid of confrontation, and when necessary, we must be decisive in committing tactical fouls, even if it means getting a yellow card. We still have enough substitutions!"
Chu Feng nodded and continued.
At the end, he added: "In the second half of the first half, we were clearly in the upper hand, even though the referee's penalties were inconsistent. As long as we don't let our emotions affect us, it's very stable to win this game!"
"Let's review the game. Thailand is used to advancing from the two flanks, so our two defensive midfielders should pay attention to assisting in defense and try to ensure that there are two people in the defensive group as much as possible."
"On offense, I'll keep my word with what I said before. Try to move to the side and create space in the middle. Leave the rest to me."
"."
When the break was almost over, Chu Feng stood up and held out his hand. His teammates piled up on him and shouted in unison: "China - must win!"
Back on the court, the two teams changed sides.
The lagging Thai team wanted to surprise the Chinese team. Suprachuap Khiriq made a long pass over the top to find Suprachahai who quickly advanced into the penalty area.
But the Chinese team was obviously prepared for this move. Chen Wei determined the trajectory of the long pass and acted decisively, snatching the ball from the air before Su Bachu.
Chen Wei pressed his hands down to signal his teammates to seize the midfield position, then turned around to look at the sneaky Su Bachu, he knew that this guy wanted to steal one.
"Bigfoot drives straight to midfield!"
"The two teams fought fiercely. Thailand's player Surawi got a little bit of the ball, but he headed it to Huang Zhengyu!"
"Huang Zhengyu directly passed the ball diagonally to the side, and Cao Yongjing changed direction and broke through from the outside!"
"The Thai team's overall formation retreated quickly, and they did not get confused because of losing the ball. Chu Feng couldn't make a cross from the bottom because he was not in the penalty area. It would be best for them to fight back and reorganize their plan."
“Eh, no!?”
Right side of Thailand's penalty area.
Cao Yongjing stopped the ball and pretended to pass it.
But when the Thai player blocked him, he passed the ball back to Chu Feng who came out of the penalty area to meet him.
This handling left many people scratching their heads.
Not only was Chu Feng's position blocked by two players, leaving him with little space to shoot, but even the angle for cutting inside was minimal.
