Although China intends to slow down the pace, Japan obviously does not want China to slow down. Their quick cooperation in the frontcourt made the Chinese team's defensive players quite uncomfortable.

After the Chinese players steal the ball, because of the opponent's high position pressing, they can only pass the ball to the frontcourt in a hurry, so that Gao Bo and other frontcourt players lose possession of the ball under the pressure of the opponent.

In the 5 minutes after the score was equalized, the defense of the Chinese team was under great pressure. Fortunately, the captain Zheng Zhi was still in good condition and repeatedly blocked the opponent's passing routes at key positions, so that the goalkeeper Zeng Cheng did not suffer too much. test.

In the 66th minute, Atsuto Uchida from the right side of the Japanese team cooperated with Keisuke Honda, entered the penalty area and kicked a high ball to the middle of the penalty area.

The ball bypassed Zhang Wei and Mei Fang's heads and landed at the rear. Zeng Cheng looked at the path of the ball and quickly moved backwards.

At the back point, two figures, one red and one blue, jumped up at the same time again, fighting for the ball's landing point.

Still Kagawa Shinji and Zheng Zhi, this pair of enemies on the court, no matter where they are today, they can almost see them fighting each other.

This time, Zheng Zhi, who used to play as a central defender, still overwhelmed Shinji Kagawa in grabbing points and bouncing for the high ball at the back point at the same time.

However, while he was jumping, the expression on his face suddenly changed. He felt the muscles in his thighs tense, and he couldn't stand up after landing.

Zeng Cheng thought that Zheng Zhi was injured, so he hurried over and saw that Zheng Zhi, who was covered in sweat, was panting, with a pained expression on his face, and a few words popped out of his mouth with difficulty: "Cramp..."

Zeng Cheng quickly lifted his foot to help him press his leg. After the referee saw this situation, he also stopped the game and let the team doctor enter the field for treatment.

Zheng Zhi's cramp also made Lippi and Fu Bo nervous on the sidelines. After all, this experienced midfielder is the leader of the Chinese team's defense line. No one else, whether it is Mei Fang, Cai Huikang or Zhang Linpeng, can replace him, let alone the young Zhang Wei.

And when the team doctor gestured for substitutions, Lippi and Fu Bo felt a chill in their hearts. This game will be even more difficult.

Wu Xi, a substitute player of the Chinese team who was warming up on the sidelines, immediately took off his vest and prepared to come on as a substitute. But before that, the Japanese team had to take a corner kick first, and the Chinese team could only fight with 10 players.

in the restricted area,

Except for Liu Aihuang who was on the outside to respond, all the players of the Chinese team came back to defend. It's just that Zheng Zhi, the spiritual leader, is missing, and the faces of all the players in the team seem to be clouded.

Looking at this situation, Xia Ze felt a little ominous in his heart.

The corner kick was taken, and there was chaos in the penalty area. Xia Ze stared closely at Keisuke Honda and followed him to the point. But the ball passed over the heads of the two of them and landed in a thicker position.

Xia Ze turned his head and saw a blue figure jumping high, overtaking all the defenders of the Chinese team, and smashing the ball hard with his head towards the goal.

It was Shinji Okazaki, who suppressed Zhang Wei to take off and grabbed the ball's landing point.

boom! ! !

Zeng Cheng and Wu Lei, who were standing on the goal line, couldn't stop the opponent's header. The ball went from their side into the net at an extremely fast speed.

The entire Sydney Football Stadium was silent for a second, and then a burst of cheers erupted from the Japanese fans.

Shinji Okazaki scored with a header and went beyond again in the 68th minute to make it 3-2.

Seeing the Japanese players cheering and celebrating, the Chinese team players all had decadent expressions on their faces. As soon as Zheng Zhi left the field, the team fell behind again.

This is the third time they have fallen behind in this game, can they still tie the score?

Sitting on the sidelines, Zheng Zhi watched the team suffer a blow from the opponent immediately after he got off the field with cramps. He seemed to feel that the team was going to stop here, and he could no longer lead the Chinese team forward.

A burst of bitterness welled up in his heart, and he couldn't help covering his face, letting tears overflow from his eyes.

The boy also had tears.

Wu Xi, who was about to play on the sidelines, was stopped by Lippi. He glanced at the court, turned around and said to Fu Bo, "Let Wang Shangyuan play."

Now that the team is falling behind again, there is no way out, and it is impossible to replace Zheng Zhi, who is cramp, with Wu Xi, a player with stronger defensive ability. Now it can only be a fight and replace with an attacking midfielder Wang Shangyuan.

It is still possible to tie the game. We were behind twice before and both equalized the score. We will definitely be able to equalize the score again!

Looking at the backs of the Japanese players celebrating, Xia Ze's eyes lit up with unyielding fireworks.

"We can definitely tie the score!" Xia Ze yelled at his teammates in the penalty area.

It's a pity that they just glanced at Xia Ze, and their expressions didn't change much.

Although Xia Ze scored two goals in a row in this game, he was not the team's spiritual leader on the field. Zheng Zhi's departure caused the national football players to lose a lot of mental strength.

Wang Shangyuan came off the bench and the game restarted. According to Lippi's instructions, Wang Shangyuan took the position of the second forward, while Xia Ze was a little behind and became a central midfielder. All attacks were initiated by him. Then only Cai Huikang was left in the back.

After the re-kick-off, Xia Ze immediately organized the team to launch a counterattack. However, falling behind for the third time in a row damaged the confidence of the players of the Chinese team a lot. In addition, the game was close to 70 minutes.

After several consecutive passing errors in the frontcourt, the Japanese team once again launched a quick counterattack, initiated by Nagatomo Yuto, and quickly broke through the Chinese team's defense from the left.

Shinji Kagawa led the counterattack in the frontcourt, and there were players from the Japanese team on the left, center and right. Cai Huikang has been left behind by him, without Zheng Zhi's restraint, Shinji Kagawa swims into the sea like a dragon, and immediately set off a huge wave.

After Xia Ze lost the ball in the front court, he immediately chased back, but the far water could not save the near fire.

Shinji Kagawa led the ball all the way to compress the space of the Chinese team's defense, and suddenly passed the ball to the left penalty area. Nagatomo Yudo inserted at high speed and faced Zeng Cheng.

"It's dangerous! Look at Zeng Cheng!" Duan Xuan took a breath, seeing that Changyouyou got a single-handed chance, so he could only put his hopes on Zeng Cheng. The Japanese commentator beside him raised his voice again.

Nagatomo faced Zeng Cheng, without adjusting his left foot, he shot directly and vigorously.

In such a close situation, Zeng Cheng had no time to react, the ball passed through his head and hit the net directly.

4 to 2, the Japanese team scored two goals in just 3 minutes, almost killing the game.

More than 30,000 fans of the Chinese team watched the field quietly. Everyone had sad expressions on their faces, and some fans even cried.

Originally, 10 minutes ago, the team evened the score for the second time, allowing them to see the hope of defeating the Japanese team again, but in just a few minutes, the situation took a turn for the worse, and people could not even see the hope of tying the score.

Zeng Cheng fell to the ground, and Mei Fang, who was desperately trying to block the shot with a shovel, drew a long mark, and then lay powerlessly on the edge of the penalty area.

The cheers of the thousands of fans of the Japanese team were extremely harsh to their ears.

Standing in front of his side's penalty area, Xia Ze propped up his back, watching the figures of the Japanese players celebrating, feeling a sense of powerlessness in his heart. c
