Green Field Eunuch

Chapter 453 The Most Crucial Goal

In the 63rd minute of the match, Australia finally got a golden opportunity.

Cahill received the ball on the outside, and Feng Xiaoting couldn't keep up. Cahill's powerful shot from outside the box went straight through the Chinese team's goal.

Then, in the 68th minute, Australian winger Bresciano cut inside and chipped the ball into the penalty area. Cahill let the ball pass by, and another Australian striker, Hall, seized the opportunity, shrugged off Li Weifeng, and poked the ball directly into the goal with a flying kick.

2 is better than 3!

The score has reached a very delicate situation.

Amidst the deafening cheers from the stands, the Australian commentator was utterly excited: "Australia has scored two goals in quick succession! Now, China's defense is facing a major problem!"

"During this period, Australia showed a very positive attitude, launching a fierce attack on the Chinese team's half."

"Cahill, he is still the best player. His long shot first helped the Australian team finally break through the Chinese team's goal."

"And this time, it was his clever move that gave Hall the opportunity to score!"

"China's defense had problems. Feng Xiaoting was not focused, and Li Weifeng completely ignored Hall. He even disappeared from the court. He was probably sleepwalking and had no idea what he was doing."

"Let's cheer for the Australian lads! They've scored two goals in a row, and now we're just one goal away from leveling the score."

"It may be a bit early to say who will win or lose, but we still have a chance."

"..."

The Chinese team looked somewhat dejected as Australia celebrated their goal.

Shan Yongzhuo is one of them.

He felt he had tried his best in the match, and a three-goal lead in the first half was already quite significant. He never expected that the opponent would still manage to pull back two goals.

It must be said that while the Chinese team may be able to hold their own against truly strong teams for a period of time, they are still prone to problems during long matches.

Shan Yongzhuo felt somewhat mentally exhausted.

But now, he has used up all his Whirlwind Ground Kick, Ghost Shadow Grappling Hand, and Mighty Vajra Kick, leaving only his Lightness Skill Water Strike and Iron Head Skill. It's hard to say whether he can get a chance to score a goal.

"We have no choice but to fight it out!"

Shan Yongzhuo thought to himself.

Currently, Australia is indeed playing well, scoring two goals in a row and keeping the Chinese team's defense constantly on the defensive.

Shan Yongzhuo is not the head coach, and there's not much he can do. Defense and limiting players are irrelevant to him; all he needs to do is try his best to score goals.

After that, Shan Yongzhuo became more diligent.

Running and scrambling.

In the constant running, he and his teammates sought to cooperate and try to create open spaces to find opportunities, but finding opportunities through hard work was not so easy.

Because Australia's defense is not made of paper.

Moreover, the Chinese team was under pressure as a whole, so it was not an easy task for them to launch a smooth attack.

Dan Yongzhuo simply used continuous retreats to look for opportunities, seeking cooperation with his teammates in the later stages to assist the overall offensive while slowly moving forward.

This can be considered to have had some effect.

However, when Shan Yongzhuo gets the ball, the opponent will prioritize defending him.

In the 78th minute, Shan Yongzhuo received the ball at the midfield line and dribbled forward. An Australian midfielder immediately abandoned his defense against another player and came over to defend Shan Yongzhuo.

Shan Yongzhuo passed the skill to Deng Zhuoxiang, which was quite rare for him.

Having played football in Europe for quite some time, Deng Zhuoxiang immediately understood Shan Yongzhuo's meaning. After running forward another ten meters or so, Deng Zhuoxiang passed the ball directly to him.

Australian defender Wilkshire charged forward defiantly. After receiving the ball, Shan Yongzhuo immediately activated his light-footed water-skimming technique, took a large step forward, and then overtook Wilkshire on a curve.

Then, he took a shot directly at the ball.

A high-quality shot that drew a very strange arc.

Australia's Schwarzer was completely flustered and had no options whatsoever, only able to make a symbolic save.

Then, he could only watch the ball go into the goal.

"Goal! Goal!"

“goooooooooooooal!”

The CTV5 commentator let out the loudest cheer since the start of the match, because the goal was just too crucial. "Shan Yongzhuo! Shan Yongzhuo! A shot that sent the ball directly into the bottom corner, a complete quadruple for him at the Sydney Olympic Stadium!"

"An incredible quadruple celebration!"

"That was a fantastic goal!"

"He stepped forward during China's most difficult time!"

"This is Shan Yongzhuo. He was born to score goals. He is the most terrifying goal-scoring machine."

"..."

Amid cheers from the CTV5 commentators, Shan Yongzhuo let out a long roar, clenching his right fist and swinging it forcefully towards the sky.

This goal was indeed very important.

With Australia scoring two goals in quick succession, the Chinese team is indeed in a very unfavorable situation, and could be tied by the opponent at any time.

This goal came in the 78th minute, almost in the final moments of the match.

At this point, Shan Yongzhuo's goal widened the score gap to two goals again. This was not only a huge score advantage, but also a huge psychological boost for the Chinese team players.

Australia, on the other hand, was very frustrated.

Both the players and the fans were extremely disappointed; conceding a goal at this point was not a good thing.

78 minutes, 4-2.

This is a very unfriendly situation.

With just over ten minutes left in the game, all they could do was try to tie the score; winning was no longer a priority for them.

Australian fans were also very unwilling, but there was nothing they could do. They could only watch those annoying Chinese fans cheer and celebrate, but there was nothing they could do.

On the other side, on the Chinese team's bench, Gao Hongbo clenched his fist loudly.

Gao Hongbo was initially very anxious as Australia managed to score two goals back.

Because the Chinese team has a long tradition of first winning, then drawing, then losing, and then suffering a nightmare when they only need to draw to qualify.

For many years, the Chinese team seems to have been stuck in this stalemate, always a prime example of starting strong but ending weak.

But now, Shan Yongzhuo's goal has completely dispelled that concern.

Shan Yongzhuo's goal put the Chinese team in an unassailable position, making it very difficult for Australia to catch up.

Two consecutive wins in the top ten qualifiers are truly exciting.
