Chapter 56 Sudden Strike
Yoshida Ma also kicked the ball in the air and then slid into the goal with the football. When his shoe nails were hooked by the net, he had time to find the football.
As soon as he turned his head, the football stopped not far beside him.
In the goal!
The Japanese team lost the goal!
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" The Japanese commentator screamed. "I'm so sharp! We lack a solution to this! Yoshida Ma has tried his best, but she still can't stop Wu Lei's shot..."
His tone was filled with disappointment and frustration.
Not only him, but also the Japanese fans in the stands and in front of the TV were also as if they were stunned and dejected at this time.
From being blocked against the Chinese team's goal, being infinitely close to the goal, to being pierced by the opponent's chest with a sword, the psychological gap between them is too big... Not everyone can accept it calmly.
"Good ball! Beautiful!" He Ping jumped out of the seat with his fists and raised his arms and shouted. "The Chinese team took the lead!! Wu Lei's strong shot was very beautiful! He caught the Japanese team off guard!"
After scoring the goal, Wu Lei was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that he could score in the Olympic final, but he quickly reacted. He turned around and ran to the corner flag area. He was so excited that he even took off his jersey regardless of the yellow card warning!
Other Chinese players rushed forward.
Zhou Yi was also among them. He ran towards Wu Lei with a smile, throwing Yamaguchi Firefly behind him. This time Yamaguchi Firefly couldn't follow him again...
"What an unexpected goal! The Japanese team has always been the dominant one before. Their offensive in the second half was very strong and threatened the goal guarded by Sun Pan many times, but the Chinese team scored the goal!" Mark Laurenson sighed.
"Wu Lei! handsome!!"
"It's a bunker, the Chinese team! This counterattack is so good! Look at Wu Lei's breakthrough, it's so exciting!"
"I think our country's players lack this kind of momentum of indomitable progress. Now I finally see it in the National Olympic Team!"
"Hahaha! Leading! We are leading!"
"Sure enough, our strength is still a little stronger! This counterattack is really smooth!"
There is also a lot of joy on the Internet in China.

Zhou Yi ran to Wu Lei, and Wu Lei had already turned around. Seeing Zhou Yi, he took the initiative to open his arms and hugged Zhou Yi who was running up.
"Thanks!"
He said to Zhou Yi from the bottom of his heart.
Zhou Yi smiled and said, "This ball is an opportunity caused by your own breakthrough. What do you thank me?"
"No matter what, I still have to thank you, Zhou Yi!" Wu Lei said seriously.
Other teammates flocked to surround them and celebrated the goal together.
This goal is of great significance to the Chinese team, which was a bit embarrassed by the Japanese team.
During the celebration, Zhou Yi in the crowd seized this opportunity to explain to his teammates what he planned to do next, in order to get support from his teammates.
"Although we are leading now, we only lead one goal, which is not a safe score. So we have to score more goals when we have the chance!" Zhou Yi said to his teammates. "Fake the suspense of this game completely!"
Zhou Yi, who made up his mind, did not plan to deal with the Japanese team anymore.
※※※
When the Chinese team finished their celebration and returned to their half, the Japanese team players had already put the football in the middle circle and were ready to kick off at any time.
Zhou Yi looked up at the sky. The sun had slightly sunk. A small part was blocked by the stands ceiling of the New Wembley Stadium. As time goes by, China's backlight kicking will definitely improve.
The impact on defense will be much smaller at that time.
Everything is getting better. In fact, if you don’t do anything, without this goal, the situation will get better as the game time goes on.
However, Sun Pan's injury prevented the Chinese team from waiting any longer.
Zhou Yi must burn the war to the other party's door and keep the threat away from Sun Pan.
The referee whistle sounded, the Japanese team kicked off and the game continued.
The Japanese team that took the ball still used the wings to launch an attack. There was a high center forward standing in the middle, of course he had to play high balls.
However, this time, their ball did not pass. After Sakai Hiroki pulled the ball to the side to catch the ball, Yang Muge was targeted.
He tried to get rid of Yang Muge and spread it again, but it was useless, and Yang Muge was unmoved.
He wanted to force a breakthrough, but Yang Muge kicked the ball.
Then the Chinese team immediately changed from defense to offense and launched a counterattack, which made the Japanese team very embarrassed.
Careful people suddenly realized that since Sun Pan made three consecutive saves, the situation has changed. At that time, the Japanese team had the upper hand, and now, the Chinese team has the upper hand.
No one knows what happened in the middle, and no one knows why this sudden change occurred. Everyone can only guess that maybe it was because the first fifteen minutes of the game, the Japanese team attacked too hard and needed to adjust the rhythm, which gave the Chinese team the opportunity to take the opportunity to counterattack.
The Japanese commentator held this view. In the commentary, he encouraged the team to not be discouraged by losing the ball. At the same time, he told the Japanese fans in front of the TV that the difficulties the team is facing now are temporary. Although it seems that the Chinese team has been pulled back on the scene, this is also a good thing for the Japanese team. They can take the opportunity to take a break and breathe a sigh of relief. Once the team recovers, they will continue to use crazy running and pressing to threaten the Chinese team's goal again.
The idea is pretty good, but the reality may not always develop according to this wishful thinking...
※※※
In the 71st minute, the Chinese team launched an attack again. This time it was not a counterattack, because the Japanese team retreated very quickly. Except for Yamaguchi Takashi who was entangled with Zhou Yi in front, everyone else retreated back to their 30-meter area.
When the Chinese team advanced to the frontcourt through short passes, the Japanese team was already ready near its penalty area.
After continuous transmission, the Chinese team does not seem to have any good chance.
The Japanese team set up a defense line consisting of four defenders and a forward line at the front of the penalty area.
In addition to the four defenders, the Japanese team arranged a formation of two midfielders in this game. One of the midfielders Yamaguchi Takashi was only responsible for defending Zhou Yi, while the other one, the midfielder, Kohara Takahiro, was responsible for daily midfield defense.
In the middle, their defense is very tight.
Facing the carefully arranged defense line by the Japanese team, the Chinese team passed the ball horizontally for two rounds and never made a forward pass. Because in Zhou Yi's opinion, a forward pass means a concealment of the ball, he did not find any obvious loopholes in the Japanese team's defense line.
But when the football fell to Zhang Linpeng's feet, the full-back with a somewhat impulsive temper could not bear it anymore. He felt that no matter how he passed it back horizontally, he could not change anything. Sometimes he still had to take some risks.
In his opinion, it is time to take risks.
So he passed the football directly to the penalty area.
"The Chinese team made a cross!" the Japanese commentator shouted.
He Ying inserted into the door, but the football was pushed out by Yoshida Ma as he flew over his head.
The football flew straight out of the penalty area.
The Chinese team's offense failed and the ball rights were about to change hands.
Seeing this scene, I believe that many people will have this idea naturally popping up in their minds.
But some people dispelled this idea from many people's minds.
※※※
When Zhang Linpeng made a cross, Zhou Yi, who ran into the penalty area, happened to be in the direction where the football flew over, but was not at the landing point. Because the landing point was where he was running and behind him, that is, the football would pass by him and he could not touch the football.
But just when everyone was thinking so, Zhou Yi, who was running forward, naturally swung his legs backwards and blocked his calf. The football just hit the outside of his foot, slowing down and rebounding.
This made another midfielder of the Japanese Olympic team, who was chasing the football, snatching the ball and making a passer-by!
Football and people passed by him. He braked suddenly and saw Yamaguchi Teng, which made him feel a little relieved. His midfielder was still following Zhou Yi loyally. It was not that easy for Zhou Yi to get rid of it!
Sure enough, seeing Zhou Yi intercepting football with an unconventional movement, Yamaguchi Teng reacted immediately and turned his attention to football.
Because Zhou Yi only blocked the football and did not knock the ball hard, the football did not cross anyone's head and fell in front of both sides. The football bounced back, but fell behind Zhou Yi and Yamaguchi Takashi.
Yamaguchi stopped suddenly and turned around and stretched out his feet to poke the ball.
At the same time, Zhou Yi also turned around halfway, stretched out his right foot, and then hooked the football before Yamaguchi Firefly!
The football flew over Yamaguchi's feet!
"Wow! Beautiful!" He Ping exclaimed.
The football that flew past Yamaguchi, rubbed Zhou Yi's jersey and flew past him and landed in front of him.
Just one person who looks plain and picks the ball, completing the two functions of being extraordinary and adjusting.
At this time, Zhou Yi can turn his body straight and face the direction of the attack!
Zhou Yi accelerated his legs and caught up with the football while running, then stepped on the football with his high-lifted sole of his right foot, and broke into the penalty area from the Japanese central defender Tokuyugai!
"Zhou Yi! He's in!" The Japanese commentator shouted in horror. "Stop him, stop him!!"
The football that was forcibly pressed by Zhou Yi on his feet landed on the ground and then jumped up suddenly. The disobedient rebellious child just didn't want to listen to Zhou Yi.
But as soon as it jumped up, it was stepped on by Zhou Yi's sole of foot again. Zhou Yi didn't use much force, but just adjusted it naturally while running forward. The football hit the sole of the shoe and bounced back under the effect of reaction force.
After two consecutive moves, the football became much more obedient, but it was still bouncing, instead of rolling on the turf in obedience. Too much adjustment may make Zhou Yi lose the best opportunity.
At this time, Zhou Yi and Football rushed to the penalty spot, and he had already crossed the Japanese team's defense line. At this time, the person in front of him was the Japanese team's goalkeeper Kyoda Shuichi, who abandoned the goal again to attack.
And Maya Yoshida came from the other side, and he wanted to get stuck in Zhou Yi's inside line to stop him from shooting!
Just as he was about to stick Zhou Yi, Zhou Yi raised his right foot for the third time, but this time he didn't step on the football down, but he raised his toes from a young age and picked up the football!
The picked football crossed the attacking goalkeeper Kyoto Shuichi, drew a parabola and fell lightly towards the goal behind him!
The speed was not very fast. At this time, Ma Yoshida realized that he had made another mistake. This time, he should have gone straight to the goal. In that case, he would have a chance to block the shot with a low speed.
But now, it was too late to ask him to turn back halfway, so he could only look back and watch the football crossed the goal line with slow motion... and flew into the back point of the goal!
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
"3:1!3:1!!! Zhou Yi! The National Olympic Team is leading Japan with two goals!!"
Chapter completed!
