Chapter 124 World Wave, 1 Point Each
"Ouch, ouch, ouch—"
With the assistance of Li Kui, Tang Zheng intercepted the ball from Pogba's feet, and the Chinese fans in the stands subconsciously let out a loud roar.
The game entered stoppage time, leaving less and less time for the Chinese team. Having the ball at their feet means there is hope of equalizing the score again.
In addition to complaining that referee Cunha did not blow the whistle to signal Tang Zheng for a foul, the French fans in the stands had no special mood because they believed that it was impossible for the Chinese team to defeat the powerful France!
Tang Zheng, who intercepted the ball from Pogba's foot, knew that his action was not a foul, so he did not pay attention to whether the referee Cunha blew the whistle and started directly on the spot.
Kanter, who has a strong sense of defense, pounced on Tang Zheng immediately, and fell to the ground to shovel the ball when Tang Zheng hit the ball!
When the French National Sports TV commentator saw Kanter decisively putting down the shovel, his eyes lit up and he subconsciously boasted: "Some people say that 70% of the earth is water, and the remaining 30% is..."
However, as soon as he finished speaking, Tang Zheng did not retract the right leg that was originally lying on the ball. Instead, he took a step forward, stepped on the football, and then pulled it back violently. The football just missed the length of Kanter who was lying on the ground and was shoveling. The toe of his right shoe escaped damage.
At the same time, Tang Zheng moved the football to the right with the outside instep of his right foot.
"Ouch, ouch, ouch -"
As Tang Zheng used the ball to pull and move the ball past Kante, even louder shouts rang out in the sky above the Kazan Stadium, which was deafening.
“Nice breakthrough!!”
Central 5 commentator He Wei suddenly stood up with his hands on the commentary box and shouted out of instinct: "Tang Zheng passed Kanter! What will he do next? Huh?"
Because the movement was too sudden, Tang Zheng staggered a little. Matuidi's eyes lit up as he prepared to defend. Originally, he wanted to stand still when Kante was attacking him. After all, there was a Chinese player Liu Ruofan beside him, so he should not be underestimated. , but Tang Zheng staggered in the first few seconds when he switched from offense to defense. If he cut off the football and switched from defense to offense...
The team has a great chance to expand the score at the beginning of injury time and kill the game!
Thinking of this possibility, Matuidi forgot about the previous arrangements of coach Deschamps.
French head coach Deschamps, who was standing in the command area, frowned obviously at this moment, but when he saw Tang Zheng staggering, he was worried but also had a hint of hope.
The Chinese team switches from defense to offense, and the defensive end must be at its weakest stage. If the Chinese team can switch from defense to offense at this time, the probability of scoring a goal is very high!
Tang Zheng staggered, but he had a wide field of vision and noticed that Matuidi was approaching him. He was adjusting his steps and observing the pace of Matuidi's feet.
It's now!
Tang Zheng, who didn't seem to have a very stable center of gravity, suddenly poked the football with the toe of his right foot. Matuidi suddenly panicked and it was too late to retract his legs. The football just passed between Matuidi's legs.
"Put your crotch on others!"
Tang Zheng passed in front of Matuidi while adjusting his center of gravity. Central 5 commentator He Wei's voice rose an octave.
Matuidi naturally would not let Tang Zheng break through easily. As a b2b player, he knew that Tang Zheng could not pass at this time, so he used both hands and feet.
Tang Zheng, whose center of gravity was unstable, was indeed dragged to the ground by Matuidi, but the referee Cunha did not blow the whistle, but raised his arms flat and ran towards the French team's half-court, signaling that the game should continue!
Because... the football slipped between Matuidi's legs and rolled towards Sun Jingbo, who was joining the attack at high speed. He pushed the football forward the moment Tang Zheng fell to the ground.
According to the offensive favorable rules, the game continues!
Lucas Hernandez did not dare to rush forward as recklessly as Kanter and Matuidi. He followed Sun Jingbo's breakthrough and chose to recover while maintaining his position.
Obviously, this is the smartest choice when defending.
The forward penetration of Zhang Yuzhu and Liu Ruofan attracted the defensive attention of Varane and Umtiti, which meant that there was a huge space behind Lucas Hernandez. If the ball passes, that's bad.
After all, offense is proactive, while defense is passive.
French head coach Deschamps was a little worried, but he felt relieved when he saw that the four defenders on the defensive end were all in position, even if the midfielder was not in position.
"Oops!!"
Deschamps instinctively looked at the defensive midfielders Kante and Matuidi, and the Chinese team captain Tang Zheng, who was wearing a No. 10 jersey, appeared in his eyes, and he suddenly felt uneasy.
He really didn't expect that Tang Zheng, who fell to the ground, would participate in the attack so quickly, and even get ahead of Kante and Matuidi.
Except for Lu Liang who was not on the front line, Zhang Yuzhao, Liu Ruofan and Sun Jingbo were all present, and there was Tang Zheng behind him who was cutting in at high speed to assist the Chinese team in their counterattack.
Sun Jingbo, who was dribbling the ball, did not use his speed to rush forward, but slowed down.
this……
They are waiting for Tang Zheng!
Two seconds passed quickly. Sun Jingbo brought the ball to the right rib of the attack 40 meters away from the baseline. From the broadcast screen, you can see the Chinese team and the French team - four against four!
Lippi, the head coach of the Chinese team, who was standing not far away, suddenly became expectant and clenched his hands unconsciously.
Liu Ruofan crossed into the space behind Lucas Hernandez, and Varane had to follow. Zhang Yuzhen pressed Umtiti and Pavard to the top of the penalty area.
Sun Jingbo maintained a very good distance from football, but Lucas Hernandez still did not dare to step forward and chose to fight and retreat.
In this case, Sun Jingbo dribbled the ball forward ten meters at a faster speed to thirty meters away from the goal.
"Give me!"
Sun Jingbo, who was dribbling the ball, was refreshed and without looking back, he passed the ball directly to the center with the arch of his right foot.
"Tang Zheng——"
Central 5 commentator He Wei was full of passion and shouted selflessly.
Tang Zheng, who was running, adjusted his steps while also paying attention to the position of goalkeeper Lloris, a very obvious long-range shot.
Kanter, who was chasing after Tang Zheng, gritted his teeth and swung his legs almost wildly, using the time to adjust his steps to narrow the distance between them.
"Ouch, ouch, ouch—"
When the Chinese fans in the stands saw the football rolling towards Tang Zheng against the turf, they raised their arms as if to welcome a goal.
While running, Tang Zheng stopped the ball half a meter forward with the outside instep of his right foot, stepped forward with his left foot, and took advantage of the situation to swing his right foot.
Kanter fell to the ground right behind Tang Zheng and shoveled him. If Tang Zheng took a long shot, he was 95% confident that he would be able to block it.
However, Tang Zheng, who raised his right foot, did not take a long shot, but quickly put it down again, pulling the football back with the sole of his foot. He waited until Kanter's body slid forward before using the outside instep of his right foot to move the ball to the right, and then again Lift your right foot.
Matuidi subconsciously stopped and tried to get closer to Tang Zheng, but Tang Zheng started very decisively this time. He did not fake a real dunk, but completed a real long-range shot 28 meters away from the goal!
"Don——"
British Sky commentator Andy Gray changed his words: "There is no long shot! He seemed to have eyes in the back of his head and completely swung past Kanter with a fake move! Huh? Long shot!!"
From the perspective of Central 5 commentator He Wei, Tang Zheng's passing was the most appropriate choice, but thinking of the number of times Tang Zheng had been a key player in the past, he shouted without sparing: "Tang Zheng passed Kanter! He was about to Long shot from thirty meters away from the door!"
Tang Zheng's right foot hit the middle and lower part of the football hard between the front and outside of the instep. Matuidi, who hurriedly stopped and pounced on Tang Zheng, could clearly hear a collision sound.
In order to fully absorb the force of the football, Tang Zheng's whole body rose into the air with his swung right foot.
"B~"
Matuidi witnessed the football flying into the air, flying over Kante, who fell to the ground to block the ball, and flying towards the goal guarded by captain Lloris at high speed.
Umtiti, Varane, Zhang Yuzhao, Sun Jingbo and Lucas Hernandez all subconsciously stopped and stared at the football flying towards the goal.
"Oh oh oh——"
The French fans at the Kazan Stadium subconsciously let out a burst of exclamations.
The football was urgent and fast, flying towards the upper right corner of the goal.
Goalkeeper Lloris watched the ball coming from the air and hurriedly moved to the left. When he moved to the second step, the football flew past the penalty spot and came to the small penalty area line with overwhelming momentum.
Loris pushed hard with his left foot, and his whole body rose into the air. At the same time, he straightened his waist and abdomen, trying to stretch his extended left hand longer.
But when Lloris stretched his body to the extreme and had not yet touched the football, the French fans behind the goal widened their eyes and felt their hearts in their throats.
"N!!"
The fingertips of Lloris' extended right arm failed to touch the football, because the football flew towards the upper right corner of the goal with an obvious outer arc...
Half a second later, the football flew into the goal against the inside edge of the right post. British Sky commentator Andy Gray said in a long voice: "Gal——"
Commentator Martin Taylor shouted almost crazy: "The ball is in! The ball is in! Tang used a long shot to help the Chinese team equalize the score in the first minute of injury time! Mr. Key is indeed well-deserved! He did it! With his own The powerful Tang turned the tide!!"
"Incredible!! Incredible!! World wave!!!"
Central 5 commentator He Wei went completely crazy and shouted hysterically: "The game reached injury time, and captain Tang Zheng used a kick that shocked everyone to help the Chinese team equalize the score! 2:2!! 2: 2!!!"
Tang Zheng, who scored the goal, originally wanted to test his feelings, but he actually scored, so he looked extra crazy, opened his arms and ran all the way!
In last night's Iberian Peninsula derby, Cristiano Ronaldo scored a hat trick and single-handedly led the Portuguese national team to draw with Spain, which has a stronger overall strength. There was an obvious point when celebrating the third goal. provocative celebration.
It is not difficult for media reporters who have paid attention to Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo to guess what Cristiano Ronaldo wanted to express.
That’s right!
Just to provoke Tang Zheng!
When the Chinese team fell behind, captain Tang Zheng stepped forward and helped the Chinese team equalize the score with a wonderful kick. So Tang Zheng ran to the camera and shook his right index finger.
Although Tang Zheng's two goals are not as good as Cristiano Ronaldo's three goals, the overall strength gap between the Chinese team and the French team is greater than the strength gap between Portugal and Spain, so the gold content is not as high as Cristiano Ronaldo's. Three goals low.
Cristiano Ronaldo, who was sitting in front of the TV watching the Chinese team's game, frowned because he could tell that this was Tang Zheng's counterattack.
damn it!
But Tang Zheng quickly turned around to celebrate the goal with his teammates Sun Jingbo and Zhang Yuzhao. Although this goal was full of personal heroism, the process before the goal was achieved by the tacit cooperation of his teammates.
The goal in stoppage time, including goalkeeper Yan Junling, ran across half-court to celebrate the goal with his teammates.
Immediately, the on-site director gave the French star multiple close-ups of his face.
Every French player has an ugly face, especially Pogba, who is so proud of himself, his face is extremely ugly.
If it weren't for his sticky ball, Tang Zheng would not have been able to intercept the ball, let alone score to equalize the score.
Kanter and Matuidi, who were shaken by Tang Zheng one after another, were not much better, especially Kanter, because he was knocked to the ground twice by Tang Zheng.
What a shame for the hottest defensive midfielder in the Premier League!
Deschamps, the French coach who appeared on the broadcast, looked very angry, but he did not vent it.
Many times the star's brilliance is powerless.
There was still time in the game, and the team had a chance to exceed the score and win the game, so Deschamps quickly waved to Fekir and explained the latest tactics.
After Tang Zheng celebrated the goal with his teammates, he made a heart shape with his hands toward the VIP seats of the stadium.
Zhao Lina, who was sitting at the VIP table and holding her daughter Tang Qingqing, smiled, lowered her head and whispered to her daughter Tang Qingqing: "Is your father the best in competition?"
"Yes, my dad is the most powerful in the world!" Tang Qingqing raised her pink fist and said in a sweet voice, "Long live dad!"
Father Tang and Mother Tang next to them couldn't help laughing, and then rubbed Tang Qing's hair dotingly.
The game restarted, and the French team, which had been equalized by the Chinese team, took advantage of the kick-off to quickly launch a wave of offensive against the Chinese team's defensive half.
Pogba, who was eager to help his team overtake the score, saw that Tang Zheng and Li Kui were slightly farther away, and took a long shot 30 meters away from the goal.
Still, he was influenced by Tang Zheng and the football went over the crossbar.
The draw in the first round was a completely acceptable result for the Chinese team, and reasonable consumption of game time became the main theme of injury time.
Yan Junling and Jiang Zhipeng each received a yellow card for this, but their efforts paid off. In the fourth minute of stoppage time, the score was still 2:2.
The five minutes of injury time entered the countdown period. Fans from both sides of the Kazan Stadium became increasingly nervous because they were worried that the team they supported would be defeated by the opponent in the final stage of the game.
In fact, this is not the case. At this stage of the game, neither Deschamps nor Lippi dare to act rashly.
Once a goal is conceded, it will be a sure win!
This group match is just the first game of the group, and there are two more group matches, so there is no need to work hard at this time.
Coupled with the fact that all members of the Chinese team retreated as one, the score did not change until the referee Cunha blew the whistle to end the game.
In the end, the French team and the Chinese team battled 2:2 at the Kazan Stadium, each scoring one point.
