Chapter 451: There is not much time left for Australia!"Come!"
Jiang Yuan roared and waved to his teammates while running towards the corner flagpole.
"Brilliant!"
"woww!!!"
"Jiang Yuan is awesome!"
"Fuck!"
Bang bang bang bang!
Jiang Yuan scored the first goal and successfully set the stands of the Bird's Nest Stadium on fire.
"Well, the Chinese team took the lead before the end of the first half."
"It's really not easy. Hehe, we can see that the Chinese team was in a relatively passive situation as a whole in the first half. It is really not easy to take the lead under this situation."
"Coach Zhang is right, but we are ahead. The goal came from Jiang Yuan at zero angle. This is a reflection of his absolute personal ability!"
[Damn it, how did we get ahead? I thought we would fall behind first...]
[Didn’t you say Jiang Yuan couldn’t run any longer? I think he’s still okay.]
[It means you can’t run for long, not that you can’t run anymore. Get it clear, brother.]
[Haha, this also makes Australia play at the level of the Premier League]
[It's really awesome, you don't need teammates at all? Oh, but with Gao Lin's assists, that's not bad either]
[Don’t mention it. Although Australia’s frontcourt pressing was very strong, their defense was actually pretty bad. I feel that Australia’s defense is not as good as ours, otherwise they wouldn’t have had more points in the group stage than us.]
[I feel like Jiang Yuan is going to explode again in this match, but it’s a pity that I didn’t go to the scene]
[The problem is that Jiang Yuan is injured. Will it get hurt if he kicks like this? I’m a little nervous. Shit.]
The Chinese team scored the first goal, and the fans watching the game were stunned. Even fans who didn't watch the game would click in to take a look after seeing the news.
Those netizens who don’t have internet access at home always have this classic question.
Did the Chinese national football team win?
"Pretty!"
Mourinho waved towards the field and called over the Chinese players who had scored the goal: "We must widen our defense, understand? They like to attack from the wing, so we must widen our defense!"
Postecoglu didn't know what Mourinho was talking about. He only knew that his only goal now was to equalize the score.
Look up and take a look at the time displayed on the big screen in the stadium.
There is still time left before the end of the first half...
3 minutes!
"Beep!"
The next ball of the first half was kicked off, and Australia launched a counterattack against the Chinese team at an extremely fast speed.
As for the Chinese team, the players on the field slowly adjusted to a defensive formation according to Mourinho's requirements. Hao Junmin and Zhang Xizhe moved back at the same time, leaving only Liao Lisheng in the front as a passing point.
Gao Lin and Wu Lei have also retired. Jiang Yuan is now more of a center forward who is always ready to receive the pass from his teammates rather than a winger.
What the Chinese team needs to do now is to maintain this lead before the end of the first half.
Because only in this way can they carry the momentum of the first half into the second half!
The time came to the 45th minute and the fourth official gave the extra time for the first half.
2 minutes!
With a simple thought, you can probably guess that 2% of the 80 minutes of extra time came from Australia's foul on Jiang Yuan.
There is not much time left, and the Chinese team still has a great chance!
The fans are now very nervous. Kruse and Leckie made a one-two pass on the wing, and the fans at the scene started to blow fake whistles.
Beep, beep, beep! Beep, beep!
"Kruse ran very fast and faced Hao Junmin at the bottom. Hao Junmin asked Liao Lisheng to come over to assist in defense."
"Australia's attack was a bit sudden, Jiang Yuan began to retreat to the backcourt"
"Kruse, pass the ball directly to the middle!"
"Mooy, when did Mooy run to that position!"
"The Chinese defense was caught off guard by Australia's cooperation!"
"Mooy, pass the ball straight to the end line!"
"Deng Hanwen arrived very quickly and Biic made a direct cross!"
"Goodwin! Hit the door!"
Two consecutive "pop" sounds were heard, and in the astonished eyes of the fans, Zeng Cheng saved Goodwin's shot.
However, Australia's attack did not end this time. The penalty kick saved by Zeng Cheng fell between Yurman and Jiang Zhipeng.
Yurman and Jiang Zhipeng started accelerating at the same time, but in the end Yurman was one step faster.
“GOOOOO—AAAAAA—LLLLLL!!!”
"The ball goes in, Australia scores!"
"In the first minute of injury time, Australia miraculously equalized the score!"
"Oh my God!"
"The Chinese team's defense was actually very good, but Australia's offense was even better!"
Beep beep beep!!!
Beep beep beep!!!
The fans at the scene started to blow fake whistles.
"Offside! Offside!"
"This is offside!"
The fans shouted loudly, but this was certainly not an offside goal, it was just that the home team fans could not accept the reality that the away team equalized the score.
The ball was lost in the backcourt, and the director's camera immediately turned to Jiang Yuan who was preparing to counterattack in the midfield.
At this moment, Jiang Yuan had his hands on his waist, looking as helpless as possible.
The first half of the game was almost over in just a few seconds, but we just couldn’t make it through the last wave!
"Barvo!"
Yulman and Goodwin hugged each other at the corner flagpole, and Australian players hurried up from behind.
When they came back from celebrating and were about to kick off, referee Bochi blew the whistle to end the game.
"Grass!"
Jiang Yuan spat the gum in his mouth back into the wrapper and frowned, obviously not in a good mood.
Jiang Yuan's plan for this game was to take advantage after the first half, which was why he tried so hard to return to defense.
Because of the minor injury, Jiang Yuan definitely won't be able to run like this in the second half.
After using up all our energy, we still failed to take the lead in the first half!
"hurry up!"
Mourinho urged the players to return to the locker room quickly. On both sides of the player tunnel, Jiang Yuan could hear the voices of the fans very clearly.
"Come on, Jiang Yuan!"
"Wu Lei, cheer up, this is the last step!"
"Jiang Yuan, it's okay, we can just go back in the second half!"
"Come on!"
"..."
Jiang Yuan felt a little embarrassed now. He didn't even dare to look up and meet the eyes of the fans above him. He hurriedly ran back to the locker room.
"Everyone be quiet, now is the critical moment, everyone be quiet"
Mourinho came to the middle, and the players were sitting on the benches eating bananas and resting. Among them, Jiang Yuan, Hao Junmin and others also drank a 100ml bottle of nutritional supplement, which could help them restore energy very quickly.
Zhang Yuning reached out to help Jiang Yuan throw away the garbage, but only discovered it when he touched Jiang Yuan's hand.
His hands are shaking!
"Brother Yuan..."
"it's okay no problem"
Jiang Yuan shook his head and placed the empty bottle upright in the cabinet, but because his hands were not steady enough, he failed to keep the bottle steady and it fell down.
Looking up at Mourinho, the Chinese team's coach was constantly working on the tactical board.
"They will play more aggressively in the second half, believe me, they will play more aggressively in the second half"
Mourinho put his hands in front of him and held a pen in one hand: "We now have three away goals, but they only have one. If this continues, they will lose the game. They will not accept such a result..."
Halfway through his speech, Mourinho's cell phone rang.
This is a call from the stadium staff, asking Mourinho if he wants to add water to the stadium now. Mourinho was silent for a few seconds and finally gave a reply.
【Normal watering】
After the watering, the passing was hindered and the players' running distance would increase accordingly. Some players of the Chinese team, such as Jiang Yuan, no longer had the ability to continue sprinting in the second half of the game.
"He can't run anymore!"
In the visiting team's locker room, Postecoglu shouted loudly: "I know you are afraid of Jiang, but it doesn't matter, he is injured, you have to remember this, he couldn't run in the second half, so that was our chance"
"We must intensify our attack! Keep on intensifying our attack!"
"Although we are behind in the away goals, it doesn't matter. They are the ones who are behind now. You should be able to see that, except for the number 7, their players have no shooting ability and are all rubbish!"
"Ok, do you understand what I mean? We are about to win, so let's increase the offensive tempo!"
"Australia!"
……
"CCTV, dear audience friends, welcome back. This is the second half of the second round of the play-off between the Chinese men's football team and the Australian men's football team!"
"The game has already started. Currently, neither side has made any substitutions. On the Chinese team side, Zheng Zhi, Wei Shihao and Zhang Yuning are warming up outside the court!"
"It is very likely to be the last 45 minutes. I believe that the fans in front of the TV are very nervous now, and so are the players on the field."
As Huang Jianxiang was speaking, the director turned the camera to Mourinho.
It wasn't very hot in BJ on an October night, but there were beads of sweat visible on Mourinho's forehead.
The game reached the 52nd minute, and Australia's possession rate in the second half had reached 81%.
Obviously, their desire to attack was very strong. Playing like this not only left no chance for the Chinese team to survive, but also cut off their own retreat!
Degenek made a 45-degree cross from the wing and passed it to Goodwin!
Goodwin stopped the ball with his chest and passed it to Biic on the side!
I rely on!
do not!
Jiang Yuan suddenly stopped in the front court. The forward's sense told him that his own goal might be in danger.
Biic received the pass from Goodwin, flicked it to the right, and then shot it into the far corner.
The ball went in!
"Grass!"
Jiang Yuan held his head with both hands. The moment Biic scored the goal, he felt his heart had stopped beating.
"Australia's strong desire to attack gave them an opportunity!"
"The ball goes in, No. 16 Biic"
"This... the Chinese team's defender didn't keep a close eye on the player. This is a very serious mistake."
"Did the referee say anything?"
The commentator is now thinking about whether the referee will blow the whistle for Australia.
But unfortunately, referee Bochi signaled that the goal was valid.
This ball was very clean. There was no physical contact between the players of the two teams, and there was no offside, so there was no possibility of calling a foul.
"Fuck!"
"Fuck!"
"Fuck!"
Mourinho clenched his right fist and punched the air: "Watch him, Zhang (Zhang Linpeng), watch him, don't watch the ball!"
“Don’t look at the ball!”
Thanks to Biic's shot, Australia instantly reversed the situation.
Originally, a 1:1 draw would have been considered a win for the Chinese team because China had the advantage of away goals.
But not anymore.
Australia leads by 1 in the total score!
There was no other choice, Mourinho made an attacking gesture towards the field, signaling Gao Lin and Wu Lei to use up their energy.
In the 65th minute of the game, Zhang Yuning came on as a substitute for Gao Lin, while Wei Shihao was still on standby on the sidelines.
At this point, two of the three forwards on the Chinese team are overseas players.
"Brother Yuan!"
Zhang Yuning ran onto the court and handed the note in his hand to Jiang Yuan.
Jiang Yuan recognized that it was Li Shubin's handwriting.
[If you can't check, give me a sign]
Jiang Yuan looked outside the field and saw Mourinho and Wei Shihao were both looking at him.
Everyone thought that Wei Shihao was used in exchange for Jiang Yuan, but that is not the case.
Mourinho asked Wei Shihao to warm up because he felt that Wu Lei's ability to advance was not strong enough and he could not actively create opportunities for the team.
On the other hand, it was for Jiang Yuan.
Mourinho could see that Jiang Yuan was now struggling!
Jiang Yuan gave Mourinho a thumbs up, signaling the coach not to be anxious, and then threw the note on the grass.
The game continued. Zhang Yuning, who had just come on the field less than 3 minutes ago, made a good pass to Jiang Yuan. It was a pity that Hao Junmin failed to connect with him.
"It's a bit of a pity, but we can see that the Chinese team's offense has indeed improved significantly after Zhang Yuning came on."
"Yes, that's right. Zhang Yuning is quite good at seizing opportunities. The training in Europe is indeed effective. Zhang Yuning is one level stronger than he was during the Olympics."
"Although they are both center forwards, Zhang Yuning's positioning coverage is far better than Gao Lin's..."
In the 70th minute, Jiang Yuan made a soul-stirring outside-of-foot kick to the front court from the left sideline.
The ball hit in front of Risden, bounced up and landed at Zhang Yuning's feet.
"Wow!"
"Beautiful! This is a nearly perfect pass!"
"Zhang Yuning holds the ball very steadily and passes it to Wu Lei on the right!"
"Single Blade! This is a single blade!"
The commentator shouted it out, but then realized something was wrong.
This is Wu Lei's one-on-one opportunity!
Huang Jianxiang took a deep breath and saw Wu Lei starting to slow down with the ball.
Facing the goalkeeper Matthew Ryan who rushed out, Wu Lei adjusted his center of gravity and then pushed the ball to the far end of the goal.
"The ball is in! The ball is in!"
"Wu Lei scored a goal with a solo shot! Check if he is offside..."
"Not offside!"
"Pretty!"
"The Chinese team tied the score!"
"what--!!!"
Wu Lei's face flushed and he ran towards the corner flagpole.
This was his fourth one-on-one opportunity in this Asian qualifier.
He was also the first one to successfully get in!
[Fuck, I was scared to death when I saw Zhang Yuning pass the ball to Wu Lei]
[Awesome! Wu Lei is awesome! ]
[Jiang Yuan is really ruthless, he can't run anymore but he can still pass the ball, De Bruyne! ]
【I feel it, I feel it all! 】
"Ha ha!"
The players of the Chinese team slowly ran towards Wu Lei, surrounded him and hugged him. Zhang Linpeng wanted to go back to kick off, but was held back by Wu Lei.
"Pull it aside for a while, it's okay if I get a card."
The players walked onto the track and roared at the fans.
The celebration lasted for about two and a half minutes. Referee Bochi reminded the Chinese players, but Wu Lei continued waving to the fans as if he didn't hear it.
Yellow Card: Wu L
"The referee showed Wu Lei a yellow card. This was a tactical way to delay time!"
"Thanks to Wu Lei's solo goal, the Chinese team regained the lead!"
"In this situation, I think the Chinese team can start trying to park a bus, because if the game ends at 2:2, the Chinese team can win directly because we have one more away goal than Australia."
"Australia doesn't have much time left!"
