Chapter 495 Bonds, Friendship? The Naive Blue Samurai Shows Off His Best Skills in Front of King GG

#China VS Japan.

#中国1:2日本.

#China scores from a free kick.

#……

We still have to play Japan; the Asian Cup's viewership is now approaching that of the World Cup.

The problem is that China is now lagging behind Japan, which is certainly not good news.

"come on!"

Go China!

While the players were all heading towards the tunnel, Tang Ye stood still and glanced towards the Japanese team's goal.

Ok……

He shook his head and sighed. Just then, Wu Lei walked over.

Let's go back first.

Wu Lei put his hand on Tang Ye's shoulder.

There's no point in dwelling on this now; the key is to find a way to win the game.

Tang Ye and Wu Lei walked together toward the locker room, listening to the cheers of the fans along the way.

Although the Chinese team has already accomplished its mission by reaching the semi-finals of the Asian Cup.

But if you can move forward, who would want to stop?

Dongqiudi pinned post: China vs. Japan, Asian Cup semi-final halftime, current score 1-2, China trailing.

The pinned poster on the app's homepage features a blood-red flame, with Tang Ye and Wu Lei roaring to the sky, looking somewhat terrifying.

hiss……

This must be the most stylish match poster for the Chinese team since the start of the Asian Cup!

Go China!!!

[If they tie the score, I'll just kneel down on the spot, okay?]

[Upstairs, can you be a little more devout? I've been kneeling for 45 minutes already.]

[Tang Ye, the King of Football, lead us to the Asian Cup final!]

Judging from the feedback from CCTV, there are approximately 3000 million people in China watching this super battle.

"Everyone, sit down and be quiet!"

Madaloni shouted a few times, and the already quiet locker room became even quieter.

"Our plan was to use a five-man defense to stop the opponent's attacks down the flanks. However, in the actual game, our tactics did not achieve our plan."

Lippi began to explain slowly.

Japan's attacks down the flanks are something the Chinese team needs to deal with.

However, in the first half, even with a lineup of 5 defenders and 3 defensive midfielders, China seemed to have no good way to limit Japan's flanks.

They played so smartly.

First, attack the left flank to draw Tang Ye away.

After Tang Ye arrives on the left wing, the ball is then passed to the right wing to avoid him.

It seemed like a very simple attacking strategy, but the Chinese team suffered a lot because of it in the first half!
"I feel like I can't go to the sidelines as often anymore."

Tang Ye suddenly interjected.

After listening briefly, he had a pretty good idea of ​​what Lippi wanted to do.

The away team's locker room next door.

As the leading team, the Japanese team is also making tactical adjustments.

"This match might be even tougher than the World Cup knockout stage game, which we lost, you know."

"Although we are currently in the lead, we cannot be certain what adjustments China will make in the second half."

Moriyasu shrugged: "What can we do? All we can do is maximize our abilities. Of course, I hope everyone can work hard to achieve results, and we need to play a style of play that suits the Japanese team."

Captain Maya Yoshida stood up, followed by the rest of the Japanese team.

"How many flights of stairs do they have to carry a bag of rice up?! (Let them experience the pain!)"

Maya Yoshida shouted.

But if it's just pain, that's not enough.

"China thinks they can win, but I'm sure we want to win even more than they do."

"3, 2, 1!"

"Prepare……"

"Don't underestimate the bond between us, Garuka!"

The door to the Japanese team's locker room was opened.

Two staff members quickly moved aside and watched as the Japanese players rushed out of the room one by one.

They didn't know what had happened; all they knew was that the Japanese players rushed out shouting things like "friendship" and "bonds."

but……

One of the staff members turned to his colleague next to him: "Playing the bond card in front of Tom... is that really appropriate?"

……

"Alright, the second half begins!"

"As you can see, neither side has made any substitutions yet!"

The CCTV commentators were very enthusiastic from the start of the second half.

This situation has now become more than just work.

Chinese people want the Chinese team to win!

"Come on, come on!"

Reaching out to take the ball from his teammate, Tang Ye suddenly accelerated forward.

The impact was strong enough that even though Endo Wataru followed, he was unable to intercept Tang Ye.

perfect!

Having secured a good attacking opportunity right at the start of the game, the Chinese team was certainly not going to let it slip away.

Dribble the ball forward, cross the center circle, and continue forward.

Move to the right!

"come over!"

Tang Ye called for Wu Lei to come over and receive the pass.

He moved to the right wing and received Wu Lei's pass again!

After a delayed two-on-one maneuver, Tang Ye chose to go down the right flank himself.

Tang Ye is no longer a defensive midfielder at all.

This is because he knows that the game will be tough enough, so he has to bring out all the strength he has.

GGBond is burning!

The bottom line!

Tang Ye avoided Haraguchi Genki and found Nagatomo Yuto.

Slow down the pace.

Okay, now it's a 1v2 situation at the baseline.

Wu Lei came over to receive the pass, and Tang Ye seized the opportunity when the defenders were distracted, dribbling the ball forward suddenly with the outside of his foot.

"Eh!"

Nagatomo came up to intercept, and Tang Ye moved sideways by pushing the ball with the instep of his foot.

Haraguchi Genki stretches his legs!

Tang Ye pushes the ball sideways again!
With a fritter, Tang Ye successfully broke through the gap between two Japanese defenders.

Look, Gao Lin is positioned at the back post to provide cover!
Yoshida Maya charged towards Tang Ye!
Use your right foot to create space, then use your left foot to deliver a high cross.

Gao Lin!

boom!
The Chinese national team striker leaped high and headed the ball into the six-yard box, where it bounced off and was caught by the goalkeeper.

"Oh!"

The Japanese fans in the stands were startled, and Hajime Moriyasu was sweating profusely.

"It's awesome!"

Zheng Zhi shouted, "You played very well, keep it up!"

The attack has been successful, which is certainly a good thing.

However, in the second half, the Japanese team also adjusted their tactics and launched a high-frequency attack against the Chinese team.

boom!
Maya Yoshida delivered a precise long-range, low through ball to Ritsu Doan in the attacking third.

Ritsu Doan dribbles the ball and accelerates forward!
The through ball was passed to Gaku Shibasaki, who had made a run down the left flank.

Then there's Osako Yuya, the bottom line!
Snapped!
The story goes that they are searching for Takumi Minamino.

Takumi Minamino!

boom!
With a long-range shot, Wang Dalei jumped up and punched the ball away.

"Pretty!"

"Wang Dalei!"

"A truly perfect save! The Chinese team successfully prevented the Japanese team from extending their lead!"

Inside the penalty area, Shi Ke and Wang Dalei collided chest to chest, releasing their current excited emotions.

Both sides played very aggressively in the second half.

Tang Ye used his dribbling and offensive coordination skills to significantly increase the team's possession rate.

The game is now in its 60th minute.

Snapped!
Wang Dalei made a long pass!
Tang Ye and Endo Hang arrived first from the position in front of the center circle.

The two of them jumped up together.

boom!
No one touched the ball, but Endo Wataru fell to the ground.

Beep!
The referee temporarily stopped the game so that the Japanese team doctor could come up and treat Endo Wataru.

"Check on Endo Wataru's condition..."

"Oh, Endo Wataru's head bumped into Tang Ye's shoulder."

Chinese fans breathed a sigh of relief, thinking it was Tang Ye who committed the foul. Endo Wataru is not tall to begin with, and he jumped very low, so his header went directly into Tang Ye's body.

"Hiss... Endo Wataru's situation doesn't seem good."

The team doctor helped Endo Wataru off the field.

"Feel sorry!"

Tang Ye called out in English, but he didn't know if Endo Wataru, who had already walked away, heard him.

Dongqiudi live match report: Tang Ye and Endo Wataru competed for a header in the middle, Endo Wataru was injured and substituted off, and Muroya Shigeki came on as a substitute.

The substitution of the key midfielder is, tactically speaking, a good thing for China.

The problem is that the player Moriyasu substituted in, Muroya Sei, is a defender.

"Hiss... Is the Japanese team also preparing to play with a five-defender formation?"

Think about it carefully.

There are 30 minutes left in the match, and Japan is leading by one goal.

If that's the case, wouldn't it be better to drag this score out until the end and then advance?
Why go to such lengths to confront China?

Moriyasu's substitution has made many Chinese fans nervous.

"call……"

Tang Ye gritted his teeth and rubbed his shoulders with his hands.

The Chinese team doctor also wanted to come in and treat the patients, but Tang Ye drove him away.

If he needed to receive treatment, he would have to wait outside for a while before he could enter, and Tang Ye didn't want to waste that time.

The game begins again!
It's the 72th minute!

With the help of Wu Lei and Zheng Zhi, Tang Ye easily got the ball.

He stopped the ball and jumped up, completing a nutmeg pass to Gaku Shibasaki!

"Wow!"

Shibasaki Gaku had no choice but to pull Tang Ye down.

boom!
He crashed heavily to the ground, and when he stood up again, blood was already flowing from his left arm.

A classic central foul on Tang Ye earned the Chinese team their fourth direct free kick of the match.

Tang Ye and Hao Junmin stood together, covering their mouths and whispering to each other.

"Left, left!"

The Japanese goalkeeper instructed the defenders to change their positions.

He had witnessed Tang Ye's knuckleball firsthand in the first half, so he had to be careful.

"Jump higher!"

Shuichi Gonda swung his hands upwards violently.

Hao Junmin and Tang Ye stood in their positions on the left and right, respectively. As they prepared for the free kick, Tang Ye kept exchanging glances with his teammates.

"Beep!!!"

it has started!

Hao Junmin ran forward and then stepped over it.

As expected, Tang Ye will handle this ball.

approach!

boom!
A free kick was launched, and the ball fell and hit the top of the net.

"Grass!"

Tang Ye rolled up his jersey and bit it.

Wow, that's incredibly accurate!

[You could have gotten in if the price had been a little lower.]

The Japanese soldiers jumped higher than expected.

[Hey, could Tang Ye kick it again?]

The Chinese team failed to capitalize on their chance to equalize, and the fans are now on edge.

We've been playing for almost 75 minutes now.

The Chinese team may have missed their last chance in this game!
The camera focused on Tang Ye's face, and many fans in front of the TV clenched their fists and hugged each other tightly.

Is it possible, GGBond?

In the 75th minute, the Japanese team launched another attack.

Yuto Nagatomo delivered a 45-degree cross to Takumi Minamino in the penalty area.

"Takumi Minamino!"

"Phew! That was close!"

"Yes, we saw that although the Japanese team focused more on defense in the second half, they were still able to frequently threaten the Chinese team's goal."

"From this perspective, Moriyasu's passing and control system is quite successful!"

The Japanese team is much stronger than they were in last year's World Cup!
"China counterattacks"

"Wang Dalei throws the ball!"

The ball was thrown out, and a scream immediately erupted from the crowd.

Because Wang Dalei's throw-in found Wu Lei, who was in the Japanese team's half of the field!

Stop the ball!

Wu Lei's first touch wasn't great, but he quickly adjusted and then dribbled forward.

Tang Ye was on his way from behind.

Wu Lei wanted to pass the ball, but Tang Ye refused.

Pull to the left!
Gao Lin, come closer!
Wu Lei dribbled forward himself, found an opportunity, and then made a diagonal through pass to Gao Lin.

Gao Lin gave it to Tang Ye again!

Tang Ye gets the ball!

boom!
Shibasaki Gaku came straight up, and Tang Ye knelt on the ground.

The referee was about to blow the whistle, but Tang Ye suddenly stood up and took the ball back.

China had the upper hand in their attack, but the referee chose to wait and see!

Tang Ye continued forward!

Tomiyasu Takehiro ran out of the penalty area, and Tang Ye flicked his left foot to the right, directly switching inside.

The very next second after the switch to cut inside, Tang Ye delivered a lob shot.

!

The speed of his reaction was ridiculously fast; Takehiro Tomiyasu hadn't even switched to a defensive stance yet.

Tang Ye's long-range shot hit Tomiyasu Ken's arm.

"Handball!"

The Chinese player rushed toward the referee, and Tang Ye was also slapping his right arm with his left hand.

It was definitely a handball by Takehiro Tomiyasu, and Tang Ye, who was closest to him, saw it most clearly.

"Penalty! Penalty!"

"Penalty!!!"

"Penalty!"

“Beep beep beep!!!”

The fans were getting anxious, while the referee was still waiting for feedback from the backstage.

Tang Ye had already picked the ball up from the ground and was preparing to take the penalty kick.

"Beep!!!"

The referee blew his whistle, and the Chinese team was awarded a direct free kick.

"Hey, no, why!"

Tang Ye rushed to the referee: "Penalty! It's a penalty! His foot is inside the penalty area!"

A direct free kick from this position would be excellent.

But changing from a penalty kick to a direct free kick creates a significant drop in performance for the Chinese national football team players.

Tang Ye's direct free kicks are indeed powerful, but no matter what, they can't match the success rate of penalties!

The players and the referee got into a heated argument, and the replay was shown on the big screen.

Takehiro Tomiyasu was positioned right on the edge of the penalty area, but not inside it.

That is to say...

The referee's decision was correct!
That was definitely not a penalty!
"You're paralyzed!"

Wang Shenchao started cursing and was immediately shown a yellow card by the referee.

"Okay, okay, it's alright!"

Zheng Zhi urged everyone to remain calm.

We have no choice but to accept this outcome now.

Tang Ye dropped the ball on the ground, wanting to kick it away, but ultimately refrained.

"Damn, if they had shot earlier, it would have been a penalty kick."

Tang Ye is definitely the one suffering the most right now.

What if the Chinese team loses because they didn't get a penalty kick?
"fine!"

Zheng Zhi placed his hands on Tang Ye's shoulders: "Don't put pressure on yourself, just give it your all."

"Tang Ye, listen to this, you're the best free-kick taker here. If you score, then we score; if you miss, there's nothing we can do. This is the result of our collective decision. Okay, lift your head up!"

Zheng Zhi pulled Tang Ye toward the set piece.

Clenching his teeth, Tang Ye's eyes were terribly red.

Pick the ball up from the ground.

"Fuck, it's done!"

……

Dongqiudi live match report: In the 78th minute, Takehiro Tomiyasu handled the ball outside the penalty area, giving China a direct free kick opportunity.

This is China's fifth direct free kick in this match.

Tang Ye and Hao Junmin stood together again.
