Chapter 172 Honor and Dignity of a Veteran
Everyone looked at Li Xiaopeng in surprise.
"Coach..." Cui Peng himself was very surprised and asked with some uncertainty.
With a wave of his hand, Li Xiaopeng stopped Cui Peng from asking, but instead asked Cui Peng a question: "Mary (Cui Peng's nickname), can you run for 30 minutes physically?"
Cui Peng's eyes were burning, and he answered very simply: "Yes!"
"Okay, go up and hit the midfielder, rush and grab, and limit Talisca and Paulinho!"
The first half of overtime begins soon.
When everyone saw that the Taishan team replaced the Italian cannon Pellet with Cui Peng, a long-lost veteran, they were all surprised, and the discussion resounded throughout the Olympic sports stands.
There was even an explosion on the Internet, and the fans became arguing.
"What's going on? You played well before, why did you withdraw the Italian artillery?"
"Is it an injury? Or is there a physical problem? It can't be an active tactical adjustment!"
"There are no forwards on the field! Only Fellaini is left as a false center."
"I can understand the substitution, but Li Xiaopeng, why did you change a pregnant woman to play! You see that his stomach is seven or eight months pregnant, and he had a miscarriage on the court. Are you responsible?"
"Upstairs, Cui Peng is a man, can he get pregnant? Those on the stomach are called abdominal muscles! It's just softer, 8 yuan is soft into one piece!"
"That's enough! Cui Peng is a veteran of the Taishan team. Doesn't your conscience hurt when you insult people like this?"
"Director Li must have his plans. So far in this game, Taishan team's performance can be regarded as perfect! We have to trust Li Xiaopeng"
"At this time, instead of cheering for the team, is it interesting to say sarcastic remarks and cynicism? Are you really fans of the Taishan team?"
·····
Dong Lu and Li Xin also commented on this substitution.
Li Xin: "This substitution and adjustment is too surprising. What do you think?"
Dong Lu: "There are no more than two reasons. Either Pellet's physical condition or injury caused the Taishan team to make a passive substitution; or Li Xiaopeng discovered something and took the initiative to make adjustments. In short, there must be a reason for the substitution."
Li Xin: "What you said makes sense. Aren't all the substitutions and adjustments in this world due to these two reasons?"
Dong Lu: "About this substitution, Li Xiaopeng will definitely explain it after the game. It's useless for us to guess. Everyone has already changed. The key is to see how the effect is. Now the Taishan team has returned to the Christmas tree formation of 4-3-2-1. Fellaini is at the top and is used as a center forward. Cui Peng, Zhou Haibin, and Liu Junshuai are in the midfield position. The defense in the center has been further strengthened."
Li Xin: "Where there is gain, there is loss. The strengthening of the defense in the middle will certainly weaken the offensive power. In addition, the weight of veteran Cui Peng is a hidden danger. Whether he can persist in such a high-intensity game is also a problem."
Dong Lu: "Before, Li Xiaopeng was criticized by many people because he preferred to use veterans. But at the most critical time, he still chose to trust his old brothers. There is a saying that when a brother fights with a father and son, the coach's choice at the critical moment is not necessarily right, but he must be the most at ease! Li Xiaopeng has made his own choice against the pressure of public opinion. Whether he can submit a satisfactory answer depends on Cui Peng himself!"
Of course, Cui Peng could feel the coach's trust and the pressure on his shoulders. This veteran who had experienced ups and downs and stormy waves, his eyes widened as soon as he stepped on the court. "Bloody Mary" was full of fighting spirit, and his blood was burning again.
He wants to defend the honor and dignity of a veteran!
It didn't take long for him to prove himself.
In the 5th minute of overtime, Hao Junmin made a breakthrough, and Cui Peng stepped in to meet him.After receiving the pass from Hao Junmin, he kicked it directly to the far end of the goal. Fellaini flew the header to the middle of the goal. Liu Junshuai rushed to the top and scored the ball!
Luneng 3:1 Evergrande!The total score exceeded 4:3!
If this score is maintained until the end, the Taishan team will advance!
The moment the ball flew into the net, the Olympic Sports Center exploded!The audience cheered ecstatically, and everyone saw that the door to promotion had been opened to the Taishan team!
The players on the field flocked to Cui Peng, who made the indirect assist, and celebrated around him, as if he was the one who scored the goal.
Because everyone knows how much pressure he and Li Xiaopeng bear on their shoulders.
Dong Lu: "Li Xiaopeng won the bet again! Cui Peng has lived up to his expectations!"
Li Xin: "Beautiful goal, wonderful game! The Taishan team moved 3 goals in a row, a beautiful reversal! Now the pressure is on Cannavaro's side. Let's see if the Italian coach can do anything?!"
Dong Lu: "The Evergrande team has only one way to go, which is to attack! Make the most of Paulinho and Talisca's role! Just like Taishan's header, give the two super foreign players unlimited fire rights, and see if they can rely on their personal ability to win the score back."
After taking the lead, the Taishan team immediately retreated and defended with all their strength.They only need to persist for more than 20 minutes, and they will be able to cross the insurmountable mountain of Evergrande and get close to the top 8 of the AFC Champions League.
The Evergrande team, as Dong Lu analyzed, attacked desperately, desperately creating shooting opportunities for Paulinho and Talisca.
In the last minute of the first half of overtime, Talisca's personal breakthrough was brought down, and the Evergrande team won the frontcourt set kick.
When the referee marked the penalty spot, everyone who watched the Evergrande VS Taishan game in the previous league took a deep breath.This place is all too familiar, it is the position where Talisca's free kick counted down the lore during the league confrontation.
Same position, same opponent!It's just that the venue of the competition has changed from Tianhe to the Olympic Games, and the nature of the competition has changed from the league to the AFC Champions League!
The Taishan team was facing a big enemy, Wang Dalei screamed loudly for his teammates to set up a human wall.This time, people were specially arranged to lie behind the human wall to prevent Taliska from rolling the ball again.
Talisca and Paulinho both stood in front of the ball, one left foot and one right foot, and it was unclear who was going to take the penalty.
The Olympic Games, which had been noisy for more than 100 minutes, suddenly quieted down, and everyone's eyes were on Talisca and Paulinho.
Who will punish this time?How will it be punished?Will it still break?
Wang Dalei's center of gravity is extremely low, like a spring full of potential energy, ready to be ejected at any time.
The referee whistled and Taliska started.
Wang Dalei made a judgment. Talisca took the penalty with his left foot, and it was very likely that he would hit an arc to go around the far corner. His body moved with his heart, and his body's center of gravity shifted slightly to the right.
Taliska ran to the ball, swung his arms and legs.His legs were lifted high and fell heavily!
