[In the previous chapter, Sun Xiang was replaced by Wu Chengying, forgot to suspend the game...]

"There is not much time left, and the first half is about to end. It is probably the last attack of the Japanese team."

After Corina blew her whistle, she looked at her watch frequently.

Ono in the backcourt stretched out his two feet and hung the ball into the Chinese team's penalty area, but Fan Zhiyi steadily pushed the ball out on the head of the Sandu master. The Sandu master was unwilling to accept it. He bent down and carried it. Fan Zhi, who fell from the air, lost his balance in an instant and fell to the right. Although he immediately opened his arm, his right shoulder still hit the ground first!

At this moment, Corina blew the whistle, but blew the whistle at the end of the half, instead of slapping the foul of the three masters.

But Fan Zhiyi lay on the ground and did not get up. He covered his right shoulder with his left hand, his tiger's eyes closed, and it looked very painful. Li Weifeng ran over and asked:

"Captain, is it okay?"

"Damn it, it fell to your shoulder."

"That idiot deliberately carried me."

Of course, the idiot is talking about the Three Capital Lords.

"He must have done it on purpose. If he can't kick us, he will play with it."

"If you really hurt you, I will never finish it with him!"

Li Weifeng looked at the direction of the three capital masters going away, and his teeth creaked.

"Go back to the locker room first and let the team doctor see it."

"The injury is important."

Zheng Zhi was calm and walked over to help Fan Zhiyi up and walked towards the player passage together.

The coaching staff did not find any problem at the beginning, and it was not until the team doctor examined Fan Zhiyi that the seriousness of the matter was discovered.

"To be safe, it's better to replace someone, you may have a broken left shoulder."

"What?! You can't talk nonsense, it has not been inspected by the machine!" Zhu Guanghu immediately scolded after listening to it.

The importance of Fan Zhiyi to the Chinese team's defense is self-evident. Without Fan Zhiyi, it is equivalent to missing the Dinghai Shentou. If he is not here, the Chinese team's defensive ability will definitely decline a lot.

He turned his head to look at Fan Zhiyi.

"Fan Zhiyi, how do you feel now? Can you continue to play?"

Fan Zhiyi's face also changed slightly. He was worried when he heard that his injury might be a fracture, which meant that he could not participate in the subsequent games. He quickly shook his right arm lightly several times, and then quickly frowned.

"Not optimistic." Three words popped up.

"Well," Zhu Guanghu nodded, understanding what it means, not optimistic? That's just that it hurts so I can't kick it anymore.

"Translation, quickly translate it to Holden."

"Du Wei, Zhang Enhua, you guys go out to warm up now." Before Holden could give orders, he asked Du Wei and Zhang Enhua to warm up first. Sooner or later, they would have to be replaced.

After hearing the translation description, Holden frowned, but quickly made a decision.

"Up Du Wei."

Zhu Guanghu was slightly stunned. Unexpectedly, it was Du Wei, not Zhang Enhua. Horton took the risk again, and would rather give young people a chance than use the experienced Zhang Enhua. But this would be good, and it could train newcomers. Zhang Enhua is old and probably retired in a few years, while Du Wei is just a rising star.

"Zheng,"

"Control the rhythm and continue to play at the rhythm of the first half, but you have to spend some energy to protect the defense. Mainly pay attention to Du Wei's side."

Holden was still worried about Du Wei, after all, he lacked experience.

Zheng Zhi nodded seriously, then patted Fan Zhiyi on the shoulder.

"Captain, don't worry, we will win the game. Just come on the court with peace of mind!"

What else can you say besides comforting Fan Zhiyi like this?

After the change of sides, Du Wei made a debut. This was his debut. Even he himself did not expect the opportunity to come like this.

"Why, Du Wei is coming up? Who did he replace?"

Huang Jianxiang searched around the screen.

"Oh my God, it's Fan Zhiyi. Was Fan Zhiyi injured just now? Because of the fall just now?"

"This is troublesome, I don't know if it will affect the subsequent game."

"Hehe, don't worry, although Fan Zhiyi is not here, the others are still there. If we lead two goals, we will not be able to be reversed by the Japanese team." Zhang Lu comforted.

"I'm not talking about this game, I'm talking about the next game against Senegal. Senegal has such a strong impact, can Du Wei do it? I'm not underestimating Du Wei, after all, he has too little experience in major competitions. Fan Zhiyi is different. Fan Zhiyi has experienced the highest level of competition experience in Europe, and this is definitely not something Du Wei can make up for."

"What can I do? Since I come, I will be at ease. Now that things have come, we can only believe in Du Wei! After all, he always has to grow up. It's good now. This half is very important to him."

...

The Japanese team also made substitutions. The coach Trussie used Takayuki Suzuki to replace the three masters who performed well in the first half but seemed in harmony with the overall situation, and Ichikawa Daisuke replaced the first half Junichi Inomoto who was sleepwalking like a sleepwalking in the first half.

"Cao, that guy has been replaced," Li Weifeng was extremely disappointed after seeing the third capital master being replaced.

"I originally wanted to serve him well, so he will be lucky!"

"Du Wei, I'm staring at Takasuki Suzuki. As soon as he came up, he could run, so you stared at Akihoon Nishizawa."

...

After the opening, the Japanese team significantly strengthened the pressing of the whole game, especially the competition for the midfield was very fierce. Relying on the advantage of the large number of midfielders, they tried to curb the Chinese team in the half-court. Often when Chinese players get the ball, the Japanese team would have two players coming up to press.

And they seemed to have also watched Du Wei's point as the Chinese team's weak position, so they consciously passed the ball to Nishize Mingxun's feet. Although Zheng Zhi was helping with defense in front, the Japanese team had been attacking on the right, and Wu Chengying and Du Wei obviously lacked tacit understanding.

In the 52nd minute, Wu Chengying missed someone behind him, but Du Wei rushed over and made a mistake in the clearance! Maybe he was too nervous. The part that didn't hit the ball should have been an opportunity to counterattack, but instead he let the ball roll at the feet of Hideto Nakata!

Nakada Eiju shot directly from 22 meters on the right side of the penalty area. Fortunately, Li Weifeng flew over and finally hit Li Weifeng, slowing down his speed. Although Nishizawa Akiho rushed up, he was still held in his arms by Ou Chuliang, who was reacting quickly.

The Japanese team, who tasted the sweetness, made a cross from the right again three minutes later. Zheng Zhi came back to help this time. Before Nishize's training, he actually used his left foot to clear the ball with his left foot about 2 meters away from his back to the goal.

"pretty!"

"Zheng Zhi's technology is very reasonable, and the handling of this ball is quite difficult, but Zheng Zhi just handled it calmly, just giving the opponent a boundary ball."

"What if it was Du Wei?"

"I guess I don't know what to do."

"Du Wei still has to learn from her teammates."

"Zheng Zhi is also at the master level on the defensive end."

After 15 minutes of suffocating the first fifteen minutes, the Chinese team finally made a beautiful offensive. Sun Jihai initiated an offensive on the right, Zheng Zhi received the response from the middle and handed the ball to Qu Bo. Yang Chen and Su Maozhen involved the Japanese team's defense player in front, but Qu Bo passed the ball to the back point of the Japanese team. Shao Jia rushed into the left side of the penalty area and rushed in, and shot directly with his left foot! Unfortunately, Japanese goalkeeper Masato Kaichi also performed very well and confiscated the ball.

Then the Japanese team still played on China's left side! Akishi and Ichikawa Daisuke who made a straight pass to the front. Ichikawa Daisuke immediately made a cross from the right, and Nishizawa Akihoon still suppressed Du Wei in the middle of the Chinese team's penalty area and headed the ball!

The ball was too straight and was dismembered and confiscated by Ou Chuliang.

"Oh, it's Du Wei again!"

"I had known that Zhang Enhua would have been here, so Zhang Enhua would not have been snatched to the landing point by Xize Mingshu."

Huang Jianxiang kept shaking his head.

Horton off the court also narrowed his eyes and was about to deny his original decision. Du Wei's performance was far lower than his expectations. Although he had not conceded the ball yet, the Japanese team had already played well on the right, including Wu Chengying's performance on the defensive end.

This is not because they don’t do their best, but because they have a abilities issue!

Zheng Zhi frequently made up for it, but he still couldn't stop the Japanese team from making a beautiful pass and cooperation.

In the 65th minute, Shinoji Ono's left side was suspended to Hidesu Nakada outside the penalty area. Akiho Nishizawa was preparing to catch Hidesu Nakada's header on the right side of the penalty area, but Zheng Zhi rushed to the front, cleared the ball first, kicked the ball out of the baseline.

"Everyone keeps a close eye!"

"Don't let them get the ball comfortably!"

"If you don't have it, you'll be fouled!"

Zheng Zhi, who had already taken Fan Zhiyi's captain's armband, yelled.

The Japanese team's corner kick was no threat. Ou Chuliang directly took the ball off and temporarily stabilized the defense line. Then he instigated another attack and directly kicked off to find Qu Bo.

This is Ou Chuliang's usual method. Qu Bo is the fastest speed of the Chinese team, and Qu Bo is the first choice for every counterattack. This time he kicked the ball to Qu Bo again. After Qu Bo got the ball, he firmly attacked Toda Kazuyuki and wade the ball from the outside to overtake!

Toda Kazuki wanted to commit a foul, but he couldn't even see the taillights of the car. When Koji Nakada came up, Qu Bo had already sent the ball to the Japanese team's penalty area. Su Maozhen carried Miyamoto Hiroyashi tightly, pulled his right foot backwards and set up a fort for Yang Chen. Yang Chen shot hard with his right foot 25 meters outside the penalty area!

Da ~

The ball slightly deviated from the right post.

"Press up!"

"Press up!"

Zheng Zhi called out in the midfield and signaled his teammates to push up, not only giving the Japanese team so much offensive space.

The formation has been raised by at least twenty meters, and the Japanese team is indeed not so easy to pass in the midfield and frontcourt.

In the 69th minute, Li Yin intercepted the ball near the center line and immediately handed the ball to Zheng Zhi. Zheng Zhi swung a Marseille swing and shook Nakada Hidesu who was following him, then immediately passed it to the right side. Qu Bo rushed up, but the ball was pushed out of the bottom line by Koji Nakada first.

The Chinese team got the opportunity to attack the corner kick.

However, the Japanese players returned to defense at all levels. Although the Chinese team received two consecutive corner kick opportunities, they did not pose a threat.

"Press!"
