The Ball at Your Feet

The cheers from all around had already skyrocketed, and Zhao Yaning stood on the corner of the corner, but did not speak for a long time. He was already overwhelmed at this moment in his heart, but his feet couldn't move at all. The position of the quarter-finals is nothing for many teams, but for the Chinese team, it is already an unimaginable dream. Zhao Yaning has played enough games, but at this time, he still believes that the club's game honor cannot be compared with the national team's honor.

Being loved by tens of thousands of people and hundreds of thousands of people is not the same as being watched by tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of people. Moreover, playing for one's own country, and for money and honor, the mood is completely different.

It is indeed a pleasure to win such a game.

Zhao Yaning's emotions did not calm down until the beginning of his exit. He sighed until he saw Shepchenko with a lonely look at the player's entrance. Like himself, he is also a person who fights for the national team, but in this game, he is the loser.

Zhao Yaning walked over, and he didn't know how to comfort him, but at this time, he should always say a few words. But what should I say? I have played with him twice in the competition, but these two times have left him with quite painful memories.

Zhao Yaning hadn't spoken yet. Shepchenko had embraced Zhao Yaning and spoke in his not proficient English, "Congratulations, you guys played well."

"It's just that I'm lucky." Zhao Yaning comforted, but he himself knew that such comfort was useless, "You still have a chance in the future."

"Do you know how false your words are? If you lose, you definitely don't say it's luck."

Zhao Yaning didn't say a word, he certainly didn't think it was all luck. There was a lot of luck in this game. Sheva missed the goal, scored his own corner kick, and the Ukrainian coach retreated in the final penalty. However, luck is for those who are prepared, and Zhao Yaning has done enough for the national team. A lot of preparation has enabled the team to get to this point. He doesn't think that his success is luck.

As for talking to Sheva... I have to be polite.

"Nothing, you don't have to comfort me. I expected such a result." Shepchenko's tone was somewhat unwilling. In this game, he scored, his performance is definitely not worse than Zhao Yaning, but his team fell on the penalty spot. In his opinion, as Zhao Yaning said, Zhao Yaning had better luck. During the game, he relied on his own performance to help the Chinese team successfully equalize. And when it came time for the penalty shoot-out... it was really luck, and Ukraine lost everything.

"I lost to God, not to you. God likes you more than me." Shepchenko said to Zhao Yaning.

Zhao Yaning did not answer, there is no need to refute the self-encouraging ideas of these losers.

"However, I won't admit defeat so easily. See you on the court next season."

"Milan may not be able to meet Liverpool..."

"But I will definitely meet you." Shepchenko smiled, "See you during the game."

See you in the game, I will beat you. Zhao Yaning said in his heart. He didn't say anything.

Back in the locker room, the teammates are already lying crookedly-120 minutes of the game, for the Chinese team players, it is simply terrible. It was belief and fighting spirit to be able to stick to this point, but they could no longer hold it after they had won. Several substitute players were celebrating, but the main players were very tired, and they did not dare to celebrate too much.

Zhao Yaning didn't interrupt their rest, so he found a place and sat down.

The next game is about to play Italy, and the state of the teammates...hey.

The opponent of the Chinese team in the next round of the match is Italy — Japan, who had shouted to enter the group stage and eliminated Italy, has now returned home from the bottom of the group — and this opponent, although he was accused of a match-fixing case before the game I think it is difficult to have a good development, but in the game, he played extremely stable. Although Nesta's defensive line continued his destiny of retiring in the third game of the national team competition, Italy still played its own style-although a little trivial, it is indeed the style of a strong team.

And the Chinese team... exhausted is good. The current Chinese team is basically a group of tired, half-dead dogs. Than to play the game again,

But Zhao Yaning couldn't say anything bad: they tried their best. Their strength is not strong, their abilities are average, but they really did their best. Since they are doing their best, they can have a clear conscience: Zhao Yaning's request for them is to make them work hard to play the game. Since they have done it, there is nothing to blame.

As for the rest of the game... Do your best, let your fate——

"After half the game, we can almost confirm that the Chinese team has been eliminated from the national team. The problem now is that the Chinese team will lose a total of several goals."

In the midfield, although the Chinese commentator was unwilling to admit his fate, he still said this sentence.

The Chinese team is over. In this game, they are completely two teams compared to the previous game. Can't run, can't kick, make mistakes, make mistakes frequently, and after 45 minutes, only Zhao Yaning still has physical strength to run, what else to play in such a game...

Zhao Yaning sat in the locker room and couldn't say a word. He could accept the loss, but this time, the loss was a bit too miserable.

The game had just ended in the first half, and Tony scored a header and a close-range push, which already scored twice. The bigger problem is that when Du Wei was defensive, he directly brought Tony down in the penalty area, gave Totti a penalty, and ended up in red.

Halftime, ten people, 0-3. The Italians did not get confused or had any problems. They played cleanly throughout the game. Although they are a strong team, they implemented the defensive counterattack very well, without any slight contempt for the Chinese team—— And this is also the most important reason for the Chinese team's failure.

The strength of the Chinese team was originally ineffective. After just playing a penalty shootout, they were exhausted again. This state met the concentrated and meticulous Italian team, only to be slaughtered.

Zhao Yaning kept playing against Gattuso and Cannavaro throughout the game. Although Zhao Yaning is now stronger, Lippi obviously made special arrangements for him-in fact , Throughout the first half, Zhao Yaning almost missed the ball. As long as he dares to pass the half, the Italian team will always have a way to cut off his receiving route. And if he catches the ball back, then the Italian team will watch his offensive line closely, and they are not afraid of fouls at all.

In the match between Portugal and the Netherlands, the referee showed 16 yellow cards and four red cards in a match. After the match, it immediately became an issue. The FA also questioned the enforcement of the World Cup. This made the subsequent penalties immediately changed the style. When Spain played against France, Spain suffered a lot, and Lippi saw this. As a world-class coach, law enforcement is tight, which is an important tactical consideration. The direction, in this game, his arrangement for Zhao Yaning was just right.

The opposite goalkeeper is Buffon, and Cannavaro and Materazzi are on the back line. With such a defensive lineup, they simply don’t care about the Chinese team’s top players, and if they want to score directly from a free kick, What Zhao Yaning needs to consider is the contest with Buffon. These positions in Italy are strong enough, so they are not afraid of Zhao Yaning's performance alone.

And this time in the World Cup, Buffon's performance is truly unparalleled.

Zhao Yaning is indeed very good, but the Italian has proved that football is not a game of one person. One person can compete against a team. The only way to go is to lose.

In the second half of the game, the Chinese team made adjustments: Qu Bo was replaced, Zheng Zhi retreated to the back line, and Zhou Haibo was replaced as a midfielder. The Chinese team, which lacked a leg, could only rely on Zhao Yaning to play. Soon, the Italian team also made adjustments. Piero was replaced. Soon, in the 62nd minute, he also scored. A ball was taken and the score became 4-0.

Still lost. Zhao Yaning was relieved when he saw this goal. The Chinese team still lost, although he knew that this time would come, but after it really came, he still didn't want to believe it.

However, what should come will always come, and when things come, what Zhao Yaning can think about is how to lose face.

I want to score a goal.

This became Zhao Yaning's biggest idea-I want to score a goal, at least, I have to save some face.

Soon, when he got the ball again, Zhao Yaning did not immediately break through again. He doesn't want to disrupt the opponent's defense now. He is going to play a good game with the opponent's defense.

Gattuso rushed over for the first time, but Zhao Yaning turned around lightly, blocking him behind him. Then, Pirlo also rushed over, and Zhao Yaning knew that if he didn't make any moves, they would foul.

Then, pull the ball and turn around!

Zhao Yaning used a Marseille maneuver, but obviously, his purpose was not to break forward. His movements were very large, he was still next to Gattuso the moment before, but then he leaned on a push and a pull and came to Pirlo's side. Then, he twisted his body and broke through from Pirlo's side!

Avoiding Gattuso, this is the first step.

Cannavaro rushed over, but Zhao Yaning did not slow down. He knew Cannavaro's skills were very good, so he simply set a trap for the opponent.

One foot touched the ball, and the ball took a big step. Cannavaro directly shoveled and flew over. He believed that he could play the ball, but he still underestimated Zhao Yaning. Zhao Yaning quickly stretched out his foot, lightly flicked on the ball, leaped over Cannavaro, and rushed forward before Cannavaro got up.

Materazzi also made up, but Zhao Yaning smashed the ball and a beautiful Matthews fake trick cheated him ~www.ltnovel.com~ and then kicked the ball from under his crotch.

The ball was divided-Buffon also rushed out. However, Zhao Yaning's speed was shocking again. He started at the edge of the penalty area, and by his side, Materazzi was still holding his clothes, but he still rushed up, one step ahead of Buffon, and controlled the ball to his feet.

Buffon immediately fell in front of Zhao Yaning. He wanted to push Zhao Yaning to the bottom line. Cannavaro, who was defending, had already reached the goal line. Italy still had a chance to kill Zhao Yaning's shot on the goal line.

However, Zhao Yaning did not pass the ball over him. He pulled the ball abruptly and took a big step back, and then, in front of Buffon's eyes, he shot the ball with one kick to the goal!

"Zhao Yaning scored a goal! Zhao Yaning broke through Italy's gate!"

Looking at the ball in the goal, Zhao Yaning did not move for a long time. Buffon stared at the goal blankly, and then gently clapped Zhao Yaning.

We defeated your team, but not you. At least, for this goal, you proved yourself that there is no door in the world that can block you. You won, though, what you won was just a single victory.
