Fox in the Penalty Area

5Chapter 84: The rival of Japanese football

After Mitsui Takachi sent Morikawa Junpei to the training, he drove back to his home-before Hu Lai had not returned, he lived here temporarily, taking care of Morikawa Junpei’s daily life, negotiating with the club, and helping Morikawa Junpei to adapt as soon as possible Training and living in the UK.

Once he got home, he couldn’t wait to turn on the TV to watch the Sino-Japanese war at the Asian Cup.

The Asian Cup is also an intercontinental event, and there will still be TV stations in the UK to broadcast it.

Of course, the TV station in charge of broadcasting is not a big TV station, and you need to pay to watch it.

After all, the proud British are not interested in low-level Asian competitions.

Even if there are players like Park Chuntae and Hu Lai playing in the Premier League in this Asian Cup, not many people watch it.

Probably the vast majority of people who pay to watch the Asian Cup, except for those crazy fans who watch all games all over the world, are Asians in the UK.

Mitsui Takachi is one of them.

He is particularly concerned about today’s Sino-Japanese war.

The game started at 3pm local British time, which happened to conflict with training time. So Morikawa Junpei couldn’t see it, but he could.

He pays so much attention to this game, of course, not only because he is a Japanese, watching his national team’s game is justified.

At the same time, it is also concerned about the results of the game.

He hopes that the Japanese team can eliminate the Chinese team. In addition to being a Japanese, the more important reason is naturally that the Chinese team is eliminated and Hu Lai can return to Leeds early.

With the help of Hu Lai, I believe that Chunping will integrate into the new team faster and easier.

After all, Morikawa Junpei still speaks poorly in English.

His character also makes it difficult for him to integrate into a completely unfamiliar environment.

The reason why he was able to perform well in the flashing star had a lot to do with his encounter with Hu Lai in the flashing star. Hu Lai helped him quickly integrate into the team and solved many troublesome problems before he was able to devote himself to football.

At the same time, because Hu Lai lived with Morikawa Junpei and many of the main players of the Shining Star, and cultivated enough tacit understanding in life, so after Morikawa played in the game, there was no barrier and strangeness with most of the Shining Star players.

It can be said that when Hu Lai returns to Leeds, all the problems encountered by Junpei Morikawa here will be resolved.

As soon as the live broadcast appeared on the TV, Mitsui Takachi saw the goalkeeper Nobuo Nishiguchi flying into the air, knocking the football out with both fists.

At the same time, the British commentator also exclaimed: “Luo! He suddenly kicked up a shot from the penalty zone line and almost caught the Japanese team by surprise! During this time, the Chinese team’s offensive was very fierce, and the Japanese team could only shrink the defense. It looks precarious…”

Mitsui Takachi thought he had heard it wrong.

What is meant by “the Chinese team is offensive very fiercely, the Japanese team can only shrink the defense”?

Did you say the opposite?

It should be the Japanese team’s fierce offensive, the Chinese team can only shrink the defense, it looks precarious!

It seems that I can hear the complaints and doubts in Mitsui Takachi’s heart. The TV broadcast screen showed two simple statistics at this time:

The Chinese team has 42% possession of the ball, and the Japanese team has an advantage with 58%.

This is normal. The Japanese team’s football style emphasizes passing control, so their possession rate in the game is basically higher than that of their opponents.

However, the Chinese team has six shots, including three shots within the goal frame.

The Japanese team only played three times, within the range of the goal frame…zero times.

You only need to look at the shooting data to know that the British commentator is right, and the Chinese team’s offensive is indeed stronger.

This confuses Mitsui Takachi. He even forgot to sit down and stood in front of the TV, watching the live broadcast of the game on the screen.

He couldn’t understand how the Chinese team was able to suppress the Japanese team on the scene.

This is not to look down on the Chinese team, but because he knows that the Japanese team is stronger overall.

Although the Japanese team’s scoring ability on the front line may not be as good as China’s, but relying on a strong midfielder, Japan’s overall scoring ability is not weak. Three group matches also scored six goals. This result is not bad, you know, the South Korean team only scored four goals in three group matches…

Six goals are already the third most goals scored by any team in the group stage.

How can the Japanese team, which has a stronger overall strength, be pressed by the Chinese team in its own half?

With such doubts, Mitsui Takashi looked on.

It didn’t take long for him to see the clue.

The offense of the Chinese team is very fast, simple and rude, that is, frequent attacks from two sides, and then crosses from the side.

Use the speed of Chen Xingyi and Luo Kai to attack the Japanese team’s defense.

Forcing Kawasaki Eiji and Kiyota, two full-backs with excellent offensive capabilities, were unable to participate in the offense, and could only shrink from the backcourt to deal with the Chinese team’s wing attack.

After learning about this, Mitsui Takachi’s frowned brows stretched out.

Instead, he didn’t worry anymore, because he saw the hidden worries of the Chinese team’s raging situation-how could their physical fitness support them so fast?

Once they slow down, the two full-backs can no longer press assists frequently, and can’t suppress our two full-backs Eiji Kawasaki and Yoshitomo Kiyota… Wouldn’t they be pushed back in reverse? What’s the point of this style of play? So don’t look at how the Chinese team is attacking now, it will collapse sooner or later.

He glanced at the time of the game. It was 20 minutes when the statistics of the game were played, and now it is 24 minutes.

The offensive of the Chinese team should slow down, and their physical fitness will come to the first hurdle…

But look at the Chinese team players in the game, their two full-backs are still rushing forward.

At a time, only two central defenders and goalkeeper were behind the center line. They are not afraid of being intercepted by the Japanese team to fight back…

If you lose the ball, how can you get it back?

Mitsui Takachi shook his head: The head coach of the Chinese team is dizzy!

“The Chinese team launched another attack!”

※※※

“The Chinese team launched an offense again! But in fact, we can seize the opportunity to play behind them…” The Japanese TV commentator made suggestions for the team.

As soon as his voice fell, he saw Luo Kai making a cross on the right.

The Japanese left defender Kawasaki Eiji, who defended him, jumped up to block Rokai’s pass.

He did not consider that this might be deceitful, because the Chinese team used to make frequent crosses from the wing, which has almost become their regular offensive routine.

How can I think that Luo Kai suddenly changed his style of play this time. After Kawasaki Eiji jumped up, he dunked the football inside with his right foot!

In this way, Eiji Kawasaki shook away, and he went into the restricted area!

The Japanese team’s left forward Tanabe Yuda Dalian, who received the ribs, hurried up to block the interception.

This time, Luo Kai sent the pass very cleanly, passing the ball with one foot!

Hu Lai ran to meet the football, kicked and shot!

Shan Shang Qianwu, who has always been close to Hu Lai, stretched out his foot to block Hu Lai’s shot. He also pulled Hu Lai’s shoulders with his hands and squeezed his body to interfere with his physical stability when shooting.

His defense was successful!

Affected by him, Hu Lai had a kick when shooting, and the speed of the football after running on the turf also slowed down.

This gave Nobuo Nishiguchi a chance. He threw himself to the ground and threw the football out with one hand!

“Pretty…” The Japanese commentator was halfway through his cheers, and another red figure appeared at the door!

“Chen Xingyi!” He Feng clenched his fists and shouted.

I saw Chen Xingyi entangled with the right back of the Japanese team Yoshihide Kiyota as he ran towards the football spot.

Kiyoda’s hand rested on Chen Xingyi’s shoulder, pulling him down forcefully. It’s just that Chen Xingyi, who has trained in Europe for more than half a year, is no longer the thin winger he used to be. His core strength has helped him resist Kiyota’s pull and strive to maintain balance!

He was finally pulled to the ground by Yoshitoki Kiyota before running to the football, but he had also completed the tackle!

His right foot stabs the football into the goal!

No matter how fast Nishiguchi reacts, it is impossible to pounce back at this time. He can only watch the football roll into his goal…

“Huh!? Chen Xingyi! Hey! Chen Xingyi! Hahaha!” He Feng laughed and roared, “Chen Xingyi! The Chinese team took the lead! In the 25th minute, the Chinese team took the lead. The ball is ahead!”

The Chinese fans in the stadium jumped up from their positions and shouted.

It’s like a tumbling mountain fire!

※※※

“Chen! The goal is in! The Chinese team leads the Japanese team 1-0! After continuous attacks, the Chinese team finally broke the Japanese team’s goal! Their indiscriminate bombing has paid off!”

The commentator of the British TV station is relatively calm. After all, he is just a neutral commentator and has no pre-determined position before the game. He just raised the volume for the goal.

However, Mitsui Takashi in front of the TV set his eyes wide open and stood in a daze.

I can’t believe that the goal appeared so easily, and I can’t believe that the Chinese team is the first one!

He suddenly realized that he had made a mistake.

Before he knew it, he was still looking at the Chinese team with old eyes, and subconsciously felt that only Hu Lai could pose a threat to the Japanese team.

But now is not the past, in addition to Hu Lai, Chinese football also has many players playing in Europe.

The overall strength of the Chinese team has been greatly improved!

Chen Xingyi, who scored a goal, can already play in Amsterdam Athletic. How can he be an incompetent person?

Needless to say, Luo Kai, although he played Dutch second. But in the Dutch second league, he is a superstar.

The striker of the Chinese team composed of such three people, UU Kanshu www.uukanshu.com may be their backing from the beginning of the game.

Because they believe that Hu Lai, Luo Kai, and Chen Xingyi will not live up to the fast break they clenched their teeth!

But I still stupidly think that the Chinese team will continue to attack fast, physical fitness will collapse, and the rhythm must be slowed down. But people have never considered this option at all, they know they will definitely score goals and will lead!

On the TV screen, Chen Xingyi, who scored a goal, got up from the ground and rushed to celebrate.

He is surrounded by Hu Lai, Luo Kai, Zhang Qinghuan, and Xia Xiaoyu…

Of course, these Chinese players playing in Europe cannot be compared with Japanese football in terms of numbers, but their strength should not be underestimated.

Most importantly, they are still young.

They will become the future rivals of Japanese football!
