Football: I am only 16 years old, and you want me to retire and make a comeback?

Chapter 926 When opportunity truly presents itself, don't be content to remain an ordinary person.

"Wei Shihao's goal!"

At the moment of the goal, Wei Shihao was stunned for a moment in front of the goal. After realizing what had happened, he suddenly shouted and ran out, pushing past Xiong Shengyi.

"Waaa!!!"

He jumped up and threw a right fist, seemingly trying to take off his clothes, but Zhang Yuning grabbed him from the side.

"Brilliant!"

"Awesome, Brother Hao!"

"Damn, that's awesome!"

The Chinese team players quickly gathered together, and even several substitutes rushed out.

This goal was scored in the 19th minute of the first half.

Considering today's match was a final, the timing of this goal was truly excellent for the Chinese team.

They dominated the game!

[Holy crap, Hao, you finally stood up!]

[Luckily, he didn't use much force in that shot. I feel like if Wei Shihao had pushed harder, this ball might not have gone in.]

[Haha, this is the passing ability of Tang the Ball King!]

Where is Takizawa Laura? Tell me what use you are! Keep cheering for Japan!

[A massive advantage of 66666, this wave of growth is unstoppable, Japan is doomed]

"Nice, Brother Hao."

Tang Ye placed his hand on Wei Shihao's head and ruffled his teammate's hair: "Awesome!"

"Haha, damn it!"

Seeing a camera moving in his direction from the sky, Wei Shihao held up one finger, emphasizing his goal-scoring achievement to the fans watching on TV.

1: 0!

After the game restarted, Hajime Moriyasu became noticeably anxious. He first quickly wrote something in his notebook, and then started shouting at the players on the field.

Actually, the Japanese defenders did a pretty good job of targeting Tang Ye, but they were using some outdated tactics.

If I, Tang Qiuwang, come up with an idea on the spot, wouldn't you be furious?

"Wei Shihao!"

"Wei Shihao!"

"Wei Shihao!"

"..."

"Give us a set piece!"

"Zhang Yuning!"

"Japan's clearance came from Takehiro Tomiyasu!"

"It's still a bit lacking. The Chinese team actually has relatively few players who can receive the ball in the attacking third, and Jiang Guangtai's position isn't good either..."

In the 29th minute of the first half, a cheer suddenly erupted from the away team's stands. When the camera panned over, it was revealed that Kaoru Mitomatsu was starting to warm up.

Kaoru Mitomatsu is a rising star in the Japanese national team, and many Japanese fans have high hopes for him!
It looks like Moriyasu is planning to start warming up now and bring on Kaoru Mitomatsu in the second half!

"Ganbatte (Go for it!) Samsa Sang!"

……

"Pass the ball through!"

"Endo Wataru timed this perfectly!"

"Wu Xi and Zhu Chenjie are probably too late!"

Endo Wataru delivered a precise through ball to Maeda Daizen, and the Japanese team immediately began to put pressure on the Chinese defense.

With only Jiang Guangtai and Zhang Linpeng ahead of him, Maeda Dairan has many options.

Ueda Ayase, who was originally in the middle lane, suddenly changed direction and came to the left lane to support Maeda Daizen.

"stick it on!"

Yan Junling reminded him, but Zhang Linpeng hesitated because he felt that it might be too late.

Ayase Ueda received the ball, executed a spiking and turn in one fluid motion, and then made a long pass, transferring the ball to the weak side where Ritsu Doan was located.

"Oh!!"

“Beep beep beep!!!”

"Don't give them a chance! Don't give them a chance!"

"Get him! Get him!"

Snapped!
Doan Ritsu feinted, and then executed a nutmeg pass over Wang Shenchao.

shit!
Knowing the situation was bad, Wang Shenchao had no choice but to take down his opponent.

Yellow Card: Wang Shenchao (CHN).

"Oh!"

"That's a yellow card!"

"Full-backs are very important for the Chinese team."

"With this yellow card, Wang Shenchao won't be able to make any big moves from now on."

Although their attack was interrupted, several Japanese players on the field were visibly pleased to see Wang Shenchao receive a yellow card, exchanging words of encouragement in Japanese.

"Japan's free kick opportunity is given to captain Wataru Endo."

"The position isn't very good; the ball should have been passed."

Beep!
As the whistle blew, Endo Wataru and the Chinese national team's goal wall began to move almost simultaneously.

Snapped!
The message was relayed out.

Inside the restricted area!

boom!
Takehiro Tomiyasu headed the ball, which hit the left post and bounced off.

"Watch the game! Watch the game!"

Yan Junling shouted, and the next second, Morita Hidemasa appeared out of nowhere and took a shot.

!

Yan Junling instinctively sat down on the ground, but his outstretched arms and legs failed to block the ball.

The ball went in!
"Depend on!"

Eskeriva punched the air: "Didn't you see someone that big?"

"Depend on!"

This was clearly a huge blunder by the Chinese team's defensive players.

The set piece defense uses a man-to-man marking tactic. If it's man-to-man marking, why is it that Hidemasa Morita can suddenly run out?

It's very simple, because one of the Chinese team's defensive players failed to mark his man properly!
"Nice, Morita-san!"

Live match report: Set piece attack, Takehiro Tomiyasu's header hit the post, Hidemasa Morita followed up and scored.

If this had happened to Wang Dalei, he probably would have already started yelling at his teammates. Yan Junling calmed down a bit, but after his anger subsided, he still demanded an explanation from his teammates: "Be careful! There's no way to fix my obstructed view!"

Fans in the away stands waved Japanese flags.

Because there were so few people, the sound was so faint that it was impossible to hear.

The camera zoomed in and then enlarged the image, finally revealing the small tifo made by the Japanese fans to viewers at home.

【風を乗り越え、波を切って进む：日本チームが强敌を破る】 means that Japan has overcome strong opponents by riding the wind and waves. Below this Japanese phrase are the names of several key players on the Japanese national team.

What's most infuriating is that some sharp-eyed fans noticed the roasted suckling pig on the tifo. The pig was completely roasted, and its eyes were shaped like "XX".

You can ride the waves and defeat your powerful enemies without any problem.

What does "roast suckling pig" mean?
So arrogant?
In the 35th minute, this was the second time CCTV had provided possession data.

CHN: 39%.

JPN: 61%.

Judging from the situation on the field, it seems that the Chinese team has more opportunities, which is because the Chinese players are more efficient in attack.

However, in terms of possession, the Chinese team was significantly behind, and even further behind than at the 15-minute mark.

Although a specific tactic was devised to counter China's Hajime Moriyasu, the Japanese coach's core philosophy of possession-based football remained unchanged, and the Japanese team continued to rely on frequent passing to create opportunities.

Live Match Report: In the 37th minute, Tang Ye's long-range shot was saved by Suzuki Ayako from a very tight distance, and the score remained 1-1.

"Beep beep beep!!"

"Shhh!!"

The scene was very noisy because the Japanese team's defense was getting better and better, which made some Chinese football fans nervous.

Don't let Japan go into halftime with the score at 1-1!
"Come on!" Taking the ball from Zhu Chenjie's feet, Tang Ye delivered a precise long pass to Wei Shihao in the attacking third.

Wei Shihao did score in today's match, but the national team striker was unable to maintain his excellent form.

Wei Shihao's first touch was intercepted by Endo Wataru!
"Fight back, fight back!"

Moriyasu Hajime followed beside him, shouting at Endo Wataru at the top of his lungs.

Pull the ball back, turn, and send a long pass out!

Ayase Ueda controlled the ball with her chest and passed it to Ritsu Doan behind her!
Just as Ritsu Doan got the ball, Takefusa Kubo immediately rushed up from beside him, creating a near-perfect receiving point.

Doan Ritsuden Kubo Takehide!

Kubo Takehide gives it to Morita Hidemasa again!

Through ball!

Snapped!
The pass was delivered into the penalty area, and the player surged forward relentlessly the day before yesterday.

This is an opportunity!
"Oh!!!"

boom!
Maeda Daizen was brought down by Jiang Guangtai in the penalty area.

"hiss……"

Realizing something was wrong, Tang Ye gritted his teeth.

Beep!
Without hesitation, the referee immediately awarded Japan a penalty kick.

"That's a penalty!"

"Oh dear, Jiang Guangtai's move... this shouldn't be happening!"

Japan being awarded a penalty in a 1-1 tie is indeed a painful blow for the Chinese national team. Eskreva had his hand on his head, unable to accept the reality he was witnessing.

"Japan has a penalty kick opportunity..."

"It should be handed over to Captain Endo Wataru."

Hope is pinned on Yan Junling.

"It's okay, just do your best!"

Zhang Linpeng hugged Yan Junling and said, "Even if you get in, we can get back. Just do your best."

"come on!"

Tang Ye also gave Yan Junling a thumbs up, but he didn't have high hopes for him.

"Beep!!!"

"Endo Wataru... run up here."

"Shoot on the left!"

"Yan Junling!"

"They've pounced!"

"The Chinese goalkeeper made the save!"

"Yan Junling!"

The ball, blocked by Yan Junling, rolled to the edge of the six-yard box, where Ayase Ueda rushed up for a follow-up shot.

boom!
Ayase Ueda's shot hit Yan Junling, and the ball bounced off again.

Zhang Xizhe got the ball first, but he was pushed aside by Doan Ritsu who came up next to him.

Break down the door!

After making two consecutive saves, Yan Junling was truly helpless against Japan's third shot.

"The ball is in!"

"It still went in! This goal should be fine."

"In that case... Japan is in the lead."

Beep! ! !
The referee blew his whistle to signal that the goal was valid, and the Japanese players on the field ran out like madmen to meet up with the substitutes wearing vests at the corner flag.

"Tang'an!!!"

"Ha ha!!"

"Sri Lanka No. 1!! (Awesome!)"

Holy crap! Yan Junling is awesome!!!

【? ? ? ? ? 】

[The commenter upstairs posted too early. I didn't expect your Zhe-ge to be so entertaining. Zhang Xizhe, what are you doing, Zhang Xizhe??]

Isn't Yan Junling better than Wang Dalei? Okay, but he still made it in...

[Damn, how did we get the lead? Are we supposed to stop playing after we're up 1-0?]

[Essen needs to make a substitution quickly, Zhang Xizhe is in terrible form!]

The Chinese national football team initially held a slight advantage, but with Ritsu Doan's goal, the scales of victory began to tip in Japan's favor.

"hiss……"

Tang Ye adjusted his breathing; he could sense the problems the Chinese team was currently facing.

……

Halftime report: Yan Junling made several saves but failed to find the net, and Japan led China 2-1 at halftime.

"This is the final round!"

In the locker room, Tang Ye expressed his dissatisfaction with his teammates' performance.

"We're down 2-1, so be it. We're behind, so be it. But why the hell are we behind like this?"

Sitting in a chair, he spread his hands: "We made two saves in a row, and the third time we got the ball first, but then the other side took it away?"

Although Zhang Xizhe wasn't directly named, he was now keeping his head down and not daring to speak.

He knew he was the culprit in the first half.

"Logically speaking, we should have cleared the ball after the penalty was awarded. I don't know what you were hesitating about when you were running."

"This is the final! If we lose, we'll be the runner-up!"

boom!
Tang Ye kicked away the mineral water bottle next to him, and the locker room instantly fell silent.

After Escriva finished dealing with the things on the tactics board, the Chinese national team coach and the players in the room shared his next thoughts.

Now that the team is behind, China's substitution strategy must be brought forward.

“This is the final, and we won’t have any extra chances. So if you’re not in good form, I’ll take you off immediately. It’s not that I’m not giving you a chance; we need to win this match, so I need to make the most objective decision.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Escriva removed the magnetic flag representing Wei Shihao from the tactics board.

Wei Shihao was the hero of today's goals, but actually, only that one goal is worth mentioning...

"We must attack down the flanks. Although Wang (Wang Shenchao) already has a yellow card, we still need to attack down the flanks; the flanks are key to our offense. The more they mark our flanks, the more we need to attack down the flanks!"

"..."

"This is the last A-level event of the year. If we don't win the championship this year, your regret will last for at least 3 years, all the way to the US, Canada and Mexico in 2026."

“I wasn’t on this team when we won the championship in Qatar in 19, so I don’t know what the atmosphere was like back then, but I believe you must have been very happy after winning the championship.”

The second half was about to begin, and Martí reminded Eskriva that halftime was almost over, but this did not stop the coach from continuing.

“Winning an intercontinental championship is something to be proud of. Now you have an opportunity to win consecutive championships, so I think you should seize it and enjoy that feeling of winning again.”

"Although we are not a team with a long history, we have the strength."

Eskreva pointed his index finger at the ceiling and shouted, "We are the champions of the Asian Cup and the third place winners of the World Cup. We are the strongest national team in all of Asia, so we should be the champions today as well. We can crush all the Asian teams we encounter."

"We have the ability to change the history of the team."

"Everyone, every one of us, will become legends in the history of football in this country!"

Eskeriva looked around at all the Chinese players in the locker room and said, "When the opportunity really comes to you, don't be content to be ordinary people anymore."

Clap clap clap!

"Get up, all of you!"

"We're getting ready to go out!"

"Everyone get ready, we'll bring the score back in the second half!"

"A victory awaits us outside!"

……

The players crowded out of the locker room, with Eskreva following closely behind.

Only Matti remained in the room, the team's assistant coach watching the direction Escriva had left in.

Shrugging: "Hmm, it actually feels pretty good."
