Chapter 197 Kangaroo Legion
After spending 4 days of training in the Shuguang Training Center, the national football team ushered in a game against the Australian team at the Holy Liberty Arena. This is their first friendly match on this national team match day.
There is no need for too much publicity, and no matter how good or bad the results are, the national team will have a large number of fans to support the game there, and it is also hard to get a ticket for this game.
The sea of red fans covered the blue of St. Friedhom's home seats. This game belongs to the passionate red.
However, the guest kangaroos will not be overwhelmed by the red, they performed very strongly in the game.
In the starting lineup of the Chinese team, the main midfielders and backcourt players have not changed, and the changes are mainly in the frontcourt.
Although Bao Zihao has returned from injury, Cheng Youcheng still insisted on his practice in the previous friendly match and chose to let Kong Pengyu start.
Moreover, Mi Du, who was not selected for the current national team due to injuries, was also replaced by the young Meng Hezhou. He and Kong Pengyu only stayed in the Olympic team in the past few months.
After the solemn pre-match ceremony, the game between the two sides officially began, and the Australian team took the lead in kicking off.
In the 2nd minute of the game, they were a guest and gave the Chinese team at home a shot of adrenaline.
Australia's No. 5 made a long pass from the left. Zheng Yubao, the right back, failed to establish his position in the fight with the opponent's No. 13. He was easily wiped by the opponent and rushed to the penalty area with the ball.
Zheng Yubao hurriedly chased back, and the midfielder Mu Dingyong also approached from the middle to interfere with No. 13 who was dribbling the ball, but there was a problem with the position between the two central defenders of the Chinese team.
No. 13 stuffed the ball between the two central defenders, allowing his own No. 9 to take the ball easily. No. 9 was in a situation where Hu Wen and Battelle were not watching.
He got such a one-handed opportunity between the two central defenders in the penalty area of the Chinese team, adjusted a bit, and hit a hard shot.
Lin Feizhuo abandoned the goal when he was single-handedly. Facing this, he shot powerfully, spread his arms with all his strength, sat on the ground to block, and finally blocked the ball with his left shoulder, preventing No. 9 from being so easily Break through the door of the Chinese team.
"Calm down, shout more, don't miss anyone." Just to be on the safe side, the ball was kicked out of the sideline by Di Xiaoliang who came back to assist in the defense. He did not forget to tell his teammates in the penalty area.
The Chinese team entered the state a little slowly today, or the Australian team entered the state too quickly, and such an attack came not long after the opening.
In the 19th minute of the game, unlike the past against the Australian team, the Chinese team had a slight advantage in possession rate this time, and they temporarily became the side that dominated the rhythm of the game.
Australia's high pressure was not very strong, but they sealed the Chinese team's penetration in the middle, and the Chinese team still had to attack from the side.
After receiving the pass from Xu Wenli, Meng Hezhou was restricted by the opponent to turn around. He diverted to the right side where Kong Pengyu was located to dribble the ball.
Kong Pengyu and Meng Hezhou switched positions, and he moved to the inside, but the two Australian defenders following them were still marking them.
When Kong Pengyu made a gesture to go forward, the defensive player following him also responded, and Meng Hezhou passed the ball back.
Zheng Yubao in the back didn't stop the ball, and directly passed the ball forward. Kong Pengyu would really go forward.
Zheng Yubao's pass was a bit strong, and when Kong Pengyu got the ball, it was almost near the corner flagpole.
The No. 21 full-back who followed him to defend him guessed that Kong Pengyu would turn around and go to the baseline after holding the ball, so he directly chose to block his going route with a shovel.
I saw that Kong Pengyu gently pulled the ball back with his left foot, touched the ball with the arch of his right foot, and avoided his tackle like long eyes in the back of his head.
There was a sound of exclamation at the scene, and the restricted area in front of Kong Pengyu became extraordinarily wide at the moment.
"Hey! Stay there!" Australia's No. 2 central defender wanted to advance his position to stop Kong Pengyu, but was stopped by No. 3 behind him, because No. 3 had already noticed that his own players were in a closer position Go up to defend.
When their No. 16 midfielder appeared in front of Kong Pengyu, Kong Pengyu stopped for a while. It was not impossible to break through, but the chance of scoring was not high. There were his teammates in the penalty area to respond, and he planned to pass the ball.
Kong Pengyu swayed to the left, and suddenly accelerated towards the baseline. The distance was very short, but No. 16 did not keep up with the rhythm. He accelerated and swept the ball in front of the goal within a few steps.
Australia's No. 2 took the lead and kicked the ball out of the baseline. It seems that No. 3 was right to tell him to stay where he was, otherwise the ball would have been shot by Xu Wenli behind him.
There was applause at the scene, and the fans recognized Kong Pengyu's performance. His a few strokes just now were really not embroidery skills.
In the 30th minute of the game, the two sides had reached this stage in the first half, and the offense and defense alternated frequently, and the pace of the game became faster.
Australia's sudden high pressure had a decisive effect. They changed their strategy of safe pressure and adopted an aggressive attitude when facing the Chinese team in the past.
No. 5, who was dragged behind in their double defensive midfielders, took the ball all the way forward. When the ball was brought to the left side of the frontcourt, the big foot transferred the ball to the right.
After the right midfielder of No. 10 got the ball, the right back of No. 22 behind him suddenly accelerated forward and lapped the edge, and he also quickly passed the ball to the front right.
The Chinese team's defense on the right was not fully in place, and Yu Maidu stepped back to assist full-back Liu Rong in defense.
"You follow him! You follow him!" Yu Mai is famous for his fast speed. He took the initiative to ask Liu Rong to keep an eye on No. 10 and chase the full-back by himself.
Sure enough, Yu Mai's speed was really extraordinary. When the defender over there caught up with the ball, Yu Mai also appeared next to him. You know, he was several positions behind before.
The defender over there couldn't pass Yu Mai's defense, so he chose to pass the ball back to No. 10 in the corner of the penalty area.
No. 10 took the ball and turned around, noticing that the teammate on the other side was speeding up, and it seemed that he wanted him to make a ball so that he could shoot directly from a long distance.
His pass was seen through by Battelle in the penalty area. He decisively grabbed the cross pass from No. 10 and dribbled the ball forward by himself.
Another direct big foot, Battelle passed the ball long to the right, and Kong Pengyu was jumping for the ball with his hands up!
He stopped the ball while running, and his movements were quite coherent, without affecting his running frequency with the ball at all.
Seeing that Kong Pengyu had come to the edge of the penalty area, the No. 21 fullback following Kong Pengyu never stopped him, and the No. 2 central defender in the penalty area immediately rushed over to help.
He put his foot in front of Kong Pengyu, separated Kong Pengyu and the ball, and pressed the center of gravity of his body to the right, squeezing Kong Pengyu away.
Kong Pengyu fell to the ground and clutched his abdomen. Fortunately, he slowed down in advance. If he rushed over and bumped with all his strength, he might be more serious.
"Is there no foul?" Zhong Weiguo, who was on the bench, was always agitated and wanted to complain to the fourth official.
"Don't worry," Cheng Youcheng pulled him back, told him to sit down, and said flatly, "Let them experience this kind of confrontation, and they will meet stronger ones in the future."
