Chapter 1506 Last Stand

On the afternoon of June 18, Nizhny Novgorod, Russia.

In the first round of the Russia World Cup group stage, China played against Sweden.

Although Ibrahimovic did not come, the Swedish team is still a strong European team, and its strength should not be underestimated.

At the beginning of the game, the Nordic teams used their physical advantages to attack the Chinese team's defense in turn.

The Chinese team focuses on strict defense, which makes it difficult for Sweden's offense to penetrate the two lines of defense of the Chinese team.

The first shot of the two sides in the game occurred in the 21st minute, which shows that the scene is very stalemate.

But it can also be seen from this point that the gold content of the World Cup is indeed far inferior to that of the Champions League.

This is not difficult to understand. After all, the teams participating in the UEFA Champions League are all the most outstanding stars from all over the world. They have played in the same team for a long time, and they have a better understanding. At the same time, they have the most advanced and targeted tactics. This has caused the UEFA Champions League to far exceed the World Cup in terms of viewing and gold content.

However, for the Chinese team, the intensity of the World Cup is quite high.

At least it is much higher than the domestic league.

Therefore, from the very beginning of the game, the Chinese team played very passively. They were not as physically fit as Sweden, so they could only make up for it by running more diligently. The defense was also extremely tenacious. Even Yang Yang and Gao Lin in front actively participated in pressing and returning to defense.

But even so, the Chinese team still conceded the ball in the first half.

In the 32nd minute, the Swedish team Klaisson took the ball from the outside of the penalty area and tried to shoot from a long distance. It hit the defender's leg and changed his line into the penalty area. The unguarded Berry made an easy shot from the left side. Opened the scoring for the Swedish team.

Conceding a goal first put the Chinese team into a passive position.

But whether it is Yang Yang on the field or the head coach Queiroz on the sidelines, they are constantly calling on the players to remain calm and patient.

Sweden is a strong team in Europe. Whether it is overall strength or physical fitness, they are above the Chinese team. If the Chinese team messes up, the result will only be worse.

In the end, the Chinese team temporarily fell behind zero to one in the first half.

The top star Yang Yang didn't even have a chance to take a shot in the first half. As soon as he got the ball, he immediately fell into the double-team of the Swedish team's defenders, and it was difficult to have a chance.

...

"The biggest problem for the Chinese team in the first half was that they did not give Yang Yang enough support."

"You know, Yang Yang is already 31 years old. He is no longer the Yang Yang who was able to single-handedly take the ball to disrupt the opponent's entire defense line and send the ball into the goal. He now needs the support of his teammates even more."

"The Chinese team should learn more from Real Madrid, how to play the role of Yang Yang in the penalty area."

"As long as Yang Yang gets the ball in the penalty area, he will definitely be able to create a threat, which has been confirmed in Real Madrid."

"Sweden is also very aware of this, so they have been suppressing the Chinese team and are not willing to let Yang Yang get the ball inside and outside the penalty area. They are very worried that Yang Yang will create a threat after getting the ball."

"In the second half, the Chinese team should try to adjust the team's style of play and give Yang Yang more support."

...

After changing sides and fighting again in the second half, the Swedish team still has the advantage on the court.

The Chinese team did not seem to have made effective adjustments, and the scene was still very passive. Yang Yang was still alone and helpless.

But just when everyone thought that the game would continue the situation and rhythm of the first half and continue to perform in a direction favorable to Sweden, there was a sudden change on the court.

After Yang Yang suddenly retreated to catch the ball, instead of turning to the inside, he turned to the left and passed it to Gao Lin in front. The latter barely blocked the Swedish defender with his body and stopped the ball on the left. , Passed to Hao Junmin.

When Hao Junmin stopped the ball, he saw Yang Yang pointing to the penalty area in front of him, and he sent a kick to the penalty area without thinking.

Yang Yang tried his best and rushed to the left side of the penalty area as fast as possible, ahead of the Swedish defender and the goalkeeper. Before the ball landed, he directly touched the falling ball with his right foot.

The kick sent the ball over the head of the Swedish goalkeeper and fell gently to the right side of the Swedish goal.

"The ball went in!!!"

"Yang Yang scored a goal!"

"In the 54th minute, Yang Yang personally retreated to respond, and planned an attack by the Chinese team on the left flank. With a light kick, he broke the goal of the Swedish team, one to one!"

"Look at this pad shot, it's too light, but the whole movement is just right."

"This is Yang Yang's current strength. He has turned shooting and scoring goals into an art."

"One to one! This is Yang Yang's first shot in this game!"

...

At the end of the game, the Chinese team successfully defended the score of one to one, shaking hands with Sweden.

Throughout the game, the Chinese team only had five shots, two of which were from Yang Yang, both of which were on target, and scored a goal at the same time, while the other three shots were blocked.

The Swedish team took 15 shots, which can be said to have taken advantage, but they have never been able to score again.

In another match in the same group, Mexico unexpectedly broke out a big upset with Lozano's goal, narrowly beating the defending champion Germany 1-0.

This shocked the entire football world.

Who would have thought that the defending champion would encounter a black door?

Could it be said that the curse of the defending champion's inability to qualify for the group stage will reappear in Russia?

…………

…………

On the evening of June 23, Rostov-on-Don.

In the second round of the Russia World Cup group stage, China played against Mexico.

"The game has been going on for 20 minutes, and the scene is still coming and going, and the fighting is very fierce."

"The Chinese team is indeed at a disadvantage in terms of overall strength, and has had to use fouls many times to delay Mexico's attack."

"Obviously, Queiroz knows that the referee's law enforcement tonight is a little too big, and the Chinese team can only barely block the opponent's attack in this way."

"But even so, Zheng Zhi, the captain of the Chinese team, still got a yellow card, so we must be careful."

"Look at the interception of the Chinese team this time. Zheng Zhi intercepted the ball and passed it to Zhou Haibin."

"A long pass from the backcourt, sent to the frontcourt accurately."

"Yang Yang is rushing forward..."

"The Mexican defender's return to defense is very fast, and Yang Yang is indeed no longer in his peak state."

"Stop the ball beautifully on the right side of the penalty area, let's see how Yang Yang will deal with it."

"Against two Mexican defenders..."

"Yang Yang's fake move is beautiful, he cheated, and cut inside with the ball..."

"Stop urgently, go forward again, hit the door directly with your left foot!!!"

"The ball went in!!!!!!"

"The Chinese team!!! The Chinese team scored a goal!!!!!!"

"An excellent solo performance from Yang Yang at twenty-two minutes!"

"He teased the two defenders of the Mexican team by himself. He dribbled the ball from the right side and cut inward, and the left foot curved the ball into the upper left corner."

"Excellent solo show!"

"Although he is a 31-year-old veteran, although he is no longer in his peak form, and although his speed is no longer lightning fast, he is still Yang Yang, the most outstanding superstar on this planet!"

...

"There's not much time left in the second half."

"After Yang Yang took the lead in the first half, the Chinese team was equalized by Mexico with a penalty kick in just four minutes. In the second half, Lozano countered with a diagonal pass. Xiaopea Hernandez made a dunk from the left side of the penalty area. After Feng Xiaoting, he scored and successfully reversed the score."

"After being reversed by the opponent, the Chinese team once got an excellent opportunity in the 73rd minute. Yang Yang sent a wonderful pass in the penalty area with his personal ability, but Gao Lin actually missed when facing the empty goal. Great opportunity missed."

"Time is really running out now."

"Entering stoppage time."

"Look at the counterattack of the Chinese team this time, and it was passed to the left."

"Gao Lin pulled to the left, got the ball with his back, and passed it to Yang Yang."

"Yang Yang made a fake move, dribbled the ball horizontally, and directly hit the goal!!!"

"The ball went in!!!!!!"

"Wonderful World Wave!"

"In the first minute of stoppage time, Yang Yang made another victory for the Chinese team and scored twice!"

"It was in Yang Yang's area again. Yang Yang hit a world-shattering wave with his right foot and once again broke the goal of the Mexican team. Two to two, the score was evened again!"

"It's too thrilling!"

"Tonight's game can be said to be full of vicissitudes, and it is frightening to watch."

"Yang Yang showed the calmness and strength of the world's top superstar at the critical moment."

"Both of his goals were crucial and helped the Chinese team tenaciously equalize."

"This is Yang Yang!"

"As long as you give him enough trust, he will be able to give you a hundred times and a thousand times in return."

"He always surprised everyone with his almost miraculous performances in situations that everyone thought was impossible."

"In the two draws, the Chinese team played extremely dangerously, but we also saw a tenacious and brave Chinese team."

"Yang Yang even scored three goals in two games. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is dragging the Chinese team forward alone. This makes us very moved."

"We should be thankful that Chinese football has Yang Yang!"

...

After the Chinese team worked hard to draw with Mexico in 2-2 and suffered two consecutive draws, the German team also relied on Toni Kroos' finale world wave to keep a glimmer of life in the group stage.

In the game against Sweden, the German team conceded a goal first, and then Royce equalized the score. Without Toni Kroos's last kick, the German team could not get three points and basically lost the hope of qualifying for the group .

But precisely because of this world wave, the German team scored three points and became the second in the group.

After the two rounds of the group stage, Mexico scored four points with one win and one draw, ranking first in the group, Germany scored three points with one win and one loss, ranking second in the group, and the Chinese team scored two draws With two points, they ranked third in the group, while Sweden was at the bottom with one draw and one loss.

Judging from the current situation, all four teams still have a chance to stand out from the group stage, the key still depends on the final round.

If the Chinese team wants to advance smoothly, they can only hope to win Germany.

When Yang Yang was interviewed by a reporter from the national TV station, he even yelled the slogan of breaking the boat and fighting to the last stand!
