When the Chinese team fell behind, Buffon and Del Piero in the VIP room were a little anxious.
Of course they support the Chinese team in this game. After all, the former coach and his disciples are in the Chinese team. They naturally hope that the Chinese team can finally reach the top.
However, until the last minute, the Chinese team had not equalized.
Buffon complained anxiously: "Dabao didn't perform well today! He missed several opportunities throughout the game. If Yu Hai hadn't been injured, I would have replaced him long ago."
Del Piero also frowned: "Today Yu Dabao only fulfilled the role of the pillar of the center. He did not score a goal, which is really unjustifiable."
While the two were chatting, Chen Tao took a corner kick and Yu Dabao scored with a header! The ball hit the net hard!
"That's great!" Buffon and Piero high-fived with joy.
Piero felt at ease now: "Finally, I didn't embarrass the master."
Buffon was also smiling: "The header just now was very powerful, really like Trezeguet."
Piero glanced at him: "Why, are you still helping David find apprentices?"
"No, no, Dabao's first master is you. He is more like you and not like Trezeguet, hahaha!"
"That's pretty much it!"
At this time, at the side of the court, Yun Sheng had closed his eyes and exhaled hard.
I was so nervous just now.
This goal is so crucial.
Looking at the cheering Chinese players on the court, Yun Sheng felt a little like he was in another world.
The last 20 minutes of this game were so exciting.
Misjudgments, injuries, falling behind, and equalizing, these factors were all integrated into one game. Even though he was well-informed, Yun Sheng felt that it was a bit overwhelming.
Seeing the Chinese players celebrating excitedly, the Japanese players did not stop them.
They are also tired.
The referee looked at the time and blew the whistle to end the game without adding any more time.
Next, the two sides began to play overtime.
At this time, Yun Sheng was already prepared. Just before Yu Dabao scored, several Chinese players were already exhausted, and now Wu Lei was suffering from cramps. He had scored four goals in that practice, which almost exhausted his energy.
And Wang Chuhe, the final sprint cover was simply a sprint with mental power.
Yun Sheng made a decisive substitution, replacing Wang Chuhe and Wu Lei with Hao Junmin and Deng Zhuoxiang.
Deng Zhuoxiang took Wu Lei's place, and this young man with excellent personal skills was promoted to rush forward.
Hao Junmin replaced Wang Chuhe in the midfield and cooperated with Chen Tao. Both of them are all-round stars who can pass and shoot. Coupled with Zheng Zhi, who often crosses positions with Huang Bowen, the Huaguo team now firmly controls the midfield. .
Overtime begins.
The game has reached this point, and all the players on both sides have exhausted their physical strength. Now, except for the players who came on the bench from the two teams, they still have a certain degree of sprinting ability. Most of the time, the players are passing the ball excessively and looking for opportunities, but basically there are none. Chance.
The best performers during this period were the guys and Deng Zhuoxiang.
With Hao Junmin's better physical condition and positional conditions, Chen Tao retreated to play some organization.
Throughout the first half of overtime, the Chinese team's two threatening offensive opportunities were all created by Hao Junmin. As the vice-captain of the Chinese team, Hao Junmin has worked hard in this cup, and his two passes just now were world-class.
Deng Zhuoxiang has also performed well since he came on the field. His skills are at the top level in the Chinese national team. Even Chen Tao, Wang Chuhe, and Wu Lei admire Deng Zhuoxiang very much.
Just outside the penalty area, Deng Zhuoxiang passed three Japanese players and volleyed into the far corner of the goal. The ball missed the lintel and flew out of the bottom line. The Chinese team missed the chance to win.
The first half is over and the second half continues.
Both teams could no longer run at this time. Several substitute players relied on their physical advantages to rush forward, but in the end it had no effect.
Finally, the referee's whistle sounded and overtime ended!
What greeted them next was the exciting penalty shootout.
The Japanese team quickly determined the penalty kickers: Shinji Okazaki, Shinji Kagawa, Makoto Hasebe, Yuto Nagatomo, and Keisuke Honda.
This should have been arranged by them before the game.
The situation on the Chinese team's side has changed somewhat. Because Wu Lei and Wang Chuhe, two penalty kick masters, have left the field, the Chinese team's penalty kick candidates have to be re-planned.
Standing on the court, Yun Sheng looked at the players: "This game may be a penalty shootout. I have told everyone before the game, and now it is true. Next, I hope everyone will take the initiative to ask for help. Who is in better condition?" Okay, the ball feels better, who can ask for it. If you feel unwell, you can quit, it doesn't matter, I don't blame you."
As soon as Yun Sheng finished speaking, Zheng Zhi stood up first: "I am the captain, count me among them."
After Zheng Zhi was eliminated, Chen Tao also stood up: "If I can win the Triple Crown with Arsenal, I can win the Asian Cup with the Chinese team, count me in!"
Zhang Linpeng also ranked without hesitation: "Along with me, my penalty kick rate in the team is also very high, I am sure of it."
Yu Dabao did not hesitate: "I am a striker, so of course I cannot be left out for this kind of thing."
The five places were suddenly reduced by four, and the last place was left.
At this time, both Hao Junmin and Deng Zhuoxiang planned to stand out, but someone was still a step ahead.
"Boss, count me in too."
When Yun Sheng saw it, he immediately became happy: "Brother, don't your feet feel bad?"
Dong Fangzhuo was a little embarrassed: "It's no problem to take a penalty kick, I'm sure of it."
Everyone burst into laughter, and the tense atmosphere suddenly relaxed a lot.
Looking at the other players who were eager to try, Yun Sheng said: "I don't know how many rounds there will be in the penalty shootout. Other players are also prepared and on standby at any time."
After thinking again and again, Yunsheng reported the final order of taking penalties.
Chen Tao, Zheng Zhi, Dong Fangzhuo, Zhang Linpeng, Yu Dabao.
Both sides are ready, the penalty shootout begins!
Standing in the goal, Wang Dalei looked behind him. Behind him was the Chinese fans' stand. Before the Japanese team players arrived, Wang Dalei raised his arms and applauded vigorously towards the audience. He raised his hands frequently and called on the fans to fire up!
The Chinese fans present were also very cooperative, with applause and cheers everywhere!
Yun Sheng was happy on the sidelines: "When he was at Juventus, this was Wang Dalei's favorite thing to do. He was always able to mobilize the fans' enthusiasm and ignite their enthusiasm."
Standing behind Yun Sheng was today's substitute goalkeeper Zeng Cheng, who also praised Wang Dalei's performance today.
"This guy performed very well today. Except for some reasons for conceding the first goal, he is not to blame for conceding the other two goals. For a passionate goalkeeper like him, as long as he is in good condition, penalty kicks are not a problem. Down!"
At this time, the referee's whistle sounded and the penalty kick began!
