At 20:00, the game officially starts.
The whistle pierced the night sky of Hong Kong Stadium.
"China Central Television, China Central Television..."
Yang Xu passes the ball to Hao Junmin, and Hao Junmin passes the ball back to Zheng Zhi.
2014 Brazil World Cup Asia District Qualifiers Top 20 Group A: The match between China Hong Kong and China National Team has officially started.
At the beginning of the game, neither team showed any desire.
In the first five minutes, China national football team controlled the ball. Zheng Zhi and Huang Bowen passed the ball back and forth in the midfield, trying to stretch Hong Kong Team's defense.
But Hong Kong Team's three-centre-back and six-midfield system is like an airtight net, surrounding the thirty-meter area in front of the penalty area.
Troussier stood on the sidelines with his hands in his pockets and a calm expression.
His 3-6-1 formation shrunk to almost 5-4-1 in defense, with the two wing-backs Lee Chi-ho and Kwok Kin-pong retreating to the back line, and all six midfielders retreating to their own half.
China national football team's pass could not find any penetration gap at the front of the penalty area.
In this way, both sides were testing, Zhang Kuang kept running and pulling, Zheng Zhi and Li Weifeng kept following him.
In the 7th minute, Zheng Zhi sent a through ball, trying to penetrate the space between Hong Kong Team's center back and wing back.
But Chan Wai-ho predicted the passing route, intercepted the ball in advance, and passed it crosswise to Jack·Xu.
Jack·Xu did not hesitate after receiving the ball, and accurately found Kwok Kin-pong with a long diagonal pass at high speed from the left.
Kwok Kin-pong dribbled the ball to near the midline and looked up.
Zhang Kuang has been started.
He inserted diagonally into the space behind the China national football team defense line from the left rib of his own half. His running route was like a sharp knife, cutting straight into the gap between Liu Jianye and Du Wei.
Kwok Kin-pong One kick!
The ball traveled a distance of thirty meters and landed accurately on the running route of Zhang Kuang.
Du Wei tried to stretch his legs to intercept, but was a step too late.
Liu Jianye turned around and chased after him, but Zhang Kuang's speed advantage was fully demonstrated at this moment. After a few big steps, he had already thrown away Liu Jianye by two positions.
He Wei: "Wow, Liu Jianye and Du Wei haven't set up an effective defense at all, but Zhang Kuang has already passed them. It's dangerous, single-handedly..."
Yang Zhi strikes out.
China national football team goalkeeper made a decisive choice. He opened his arms and rushed out of the penalty area to block Zhang Kuang's shooting angle.
Xu Yang: "Can Yang Zhi hui block Zhang Kuang...Zhang Kuang shoots..."
Zhang Kuang looked up at Yang Zhi's position while running at full speed, then used his left foot to shoot a low shot!
The ball drew an inward arc against the turf, bypassed Yang Zhi's outstretched palm, and accurately drilled into the lower left corner of the goal.
The ball went in!
1:0!
He Wei: "Oh, the ball went in, Zhang Kuang scored so easily. From Hong Kong Team stealing the ball to scoring the goal, the whole process only took less than ten seconds. Three passes, one sprint, and one shot. Simple, efficient, and fatal."
Hong Kong Stadium After a brief silence, it was completely exploded by the cheers of 40,000 people.
Chung Chi-kwong: "GOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! In the 12th minute! Zhang Kuang! A single low shot penetrated the ten fingers of Yang Zhi! Hong Kong Team leads 1:0! This is our No. 33! This is world-class speed and finishing ability!"
Wong Hing-kwai: "Looking at the reaction of the national team players, they are still a little uncomfortable with Zhang Kuang. It feels like they are not ready at all."
Chung Chi-kwong: "No, it's because they don't have a clear idea of Zhang Kuang's speed, passing skills, and skills. In Chinese Super League's case, they might have to defend like that, but in Zhang Kuang's case, their defensive actions haven't been completed yet. Zhang Kuang has already passed them..."
Zhang Kuang ran towards the south stand, jumped, turned around in the air, swiped his hands down, and roared, a signature celebration.
The entire South Stand stood up at that moment, and red scarves were waved into a surging ocean. The banner "Zhang Kuang Dominates the Arena" was particularly eye-catching under the lights.
Zhang Kuang turned around and his teammates had already pounced on him.
Fan Chun-yip ran nearly fifty meters from the direction of the goal, hugged Zhang Kuang's back, and yelled something. Zhang Kuang couldn't hear clearly, and could only feel the old goalkeeper's body shaking violently.
On the sidelines, Troussier turned around and shook his fist in the direction of the bench. Then he quickly regained his composure and raised his hand to signal the players to steady their rhythm.
On the other side, Camacho stood on the edge of the technical area with a livid face, his hands folded in front of his chest, and did not speak.
His lips were pursed tightly, and his eyes were filled with some extremely restrained emotion.
What can he say? The gap between the two sides is too big, and the national team has no concept of dealing with it.
Zheng Zhi, Du Wei, Yang Zhi and other international players looked confused. How powerful was it? It felt like they broke through their defense without even using any force?
If Zhang Kuang exerts his full strength... Then think about how the defenders on Premier League defended him, tsk, then, this...
The numbers on the scoreboard are cold and dazzling: China Hong Kong 1:0 China National Team.
The game only lasted twelve minutes, and China national football team fell behind.
At this time, people on the Internet, as well as in hotels and student dormitories were filled with exclamations.
"It's over, it's over, China national football team is going to be massacred by Hong Kong Football Team. The gap is too big."
"Yeah, Zhang Kuang might be a little confused. He didn't even expect it, right? China national football team's defense is so bad."
"This really shocked me. Are China national football team's players so far behind the world's top players? Isn't this too exaggerated?"
"Haha, is it an exaggeration? I think it's an exaggeration too."
"..."
The game continued, and in the next ten minutes, China national football team tried to press out and counterattack.
Zheng Zhi and Huang Bowen strengthened their control of the ball in the midfield, and Yu Hai and Hao Junmin took turns attacking on the wings.
Zhang Kuang doesn't bother to go up to grab the ball and defend. If Manchester United's teammates cooperate, he can beat China national football team to pieces.
Forget it, forget it, let's save some face for them.
In the 18th minute, Hao Junmin cut in from the right and took a long shot.
The ball flew towards the upper left corner of the goal, but Cheuk Cheuk flew from the front to block it and blocked the ball from the sideline with his body.
In the 24th minute, Bai He intercepted Huang Bowen's pass in the midfield. Jack·Xu received the ball and sent another through ball. Zhang Kuang received the ball at the edge of the penalty area and then shot the ball slightly above the crossbar.
Hong Kong fans let out a sigh of regret.
China national football team's defense began to show obvious tension.
The space between Li Weifeng and Du Wei was frequently torn apart by Zhang Kuang's movement. Liu Jianye's defensive choices when facing Zhang Kuang on the wing became more and more conservative.
They were so afraid of being breached that they chose to retreat instead of attacking every time, and Zhang Kuang is the best at taking advantage of this hesitation.
In the 31st minute, China national football team got a chance to take a free kick in the frontcourt.
Chen Tao took the penalty and the ball drew an arc and flew to the center of the penalty area.
Li Weifeng jumped high in the crowd and headed the ball towards the goal!
The ball flew towards the lower left corner of the goal with great power.
But Fan Chun-yip showed the skill of a veteran. He predicted the direction of the attack in advance, flew up and lifted the ball over the crossbar with one palm.
Zhang Kuang felt that it was pointless to continue playing like this, so when the national team's corner kick was given, he jumped high in his own penalty area and then tipped the ball to at the top of the penalty area. Cris·Kang, Cris·Kang received the ball and moved forward. Huang Bowen wanted to block the position, but was bumped by Cris·Kang and missed the position.
At this time, Zhang Kuang had already rushed out of the crowd, and he quickly rushed to Cris Kang's side.
"Pass the ball to me." After Zhang Kuang shouted, Cris Kang passed the ball to Zhang Kuang. After Zhang Kuang took the ball, he caught up with him. Zheng Zhi came in and stepped on his feet twice, and then his body swayed. Zheng Zhi slipped and fell down. Zhang Kuang passed him and walked away as soon as he received the ball.
Zheng Zhi is angry, this is too irritating, are you teasing him in front of so many people?
However, when he got up, Zhang Kuang had already knocked down Sun Xiang in front of him. Du Wei could only drag Zhang Kuang's arm and run with him, unable to grab the ball. Who knew that Zhang Kuang just accelerated and Du Wei fell to the ground.
When Li Weifeng faced the movement of Zhang Kuang's feet, he stepped back and blocked.
Zhang Kuang and Shoulder-Drop Dribble easily wiped Li Weifeng. Li Weifeng turned around and tried to pull the person, but in the end he couldn't pull him at all.
At this time, Zheng Zhi rushed from behind and came directly from behind with a large sliding shovel over three meters away.
The whole audience exclaimed!
When Zhang Kuang put the tackle on Zheng Zhi, he jumped up on both legs and picked the ball. He jumped over Zheng Zhi with the ball. At this time, he had already reached the penalty area line. Yang Zhi did not come forward to stop Zhang Kuang, but stood at the goal line and was fully prepared.
But before he was completely ready, he saw Zhang Kuang volleyed hard and the ball was gone?
He seemed to see a white shadow flash past, and then the net moved.
2:0!
The whole audience cheered!
He Wei: "Ah, here it goes again. Zhang Kuang passed four people by himself. Strictly speaking, he passed five people because Zheng Zhi was passed twice. Then he scored the ball with a blast from the penalty area line. Yang Zhi didn't react at all and didn't even have time to make a save."
Xu Yang: "I can't stop it, I can't stop it at all. China national football team's defense was messed up by Zhang Kuang. He passed everyone like a wooden stake..."
Chung Chi-kwong: "GOOOOOOOAL, it's in again, it's in again, 2:0, it's still Zhang Kuang, good, good..."
Camacho everyone is confused, what the hell, he is so strong, why should he kick? What a miscalculation, what to kick 4231, should kick 541, there must be at least three people to guard against Zhang Kuang.
In the box at the stadium, Football Association's head Wei Di's face turned dark. This was too hurtful. It made the national team's back line look like paper.
In his mind, he scolded the Football Association group earlier as shit. Such a top player was put here like Hong Kong Team. If this was in the national team... I can't think of it!
He Wei: "Camacho has to change. It can't go on like this. The national team will be slaughtered if it goes on like this. No one can stop Zhang Kuang."
Xu Yang: "Yes, at least two dedicated people must be assigned to defend him..."
However, Camacho couldn't hear what He Wei said in the commentary box, and he was a little confused now.
In the 39th minute, Camacho hadn't figured out how to deal with Zhang Kuang, but Zhang Kuang came again.
The initiator this time was Leung Chun-pong. He intercepted Zheng Zhi's cross pass to Yu Hai in the midfield, and immediately passed it to Kwok Kin-pong on the left.
Kwok Kin-pong dribbled the ball into the frontcourt, attracted Liu Jianye's defense, and then made a low pass with his left foot.
Zhang Kuang caught the ball with his back in the penalty area.
Behind him was Du Wei. Du Wei's left hand was on his waist, exerting continuous pushing force. But Zhang Kuang's center of gravity was astonishingly low. He stabilized his position like an iron tower, stopped the ball with his left foot, and at the same time rotated his body to the left, making a fake move of knocking back.
Du Wei's center of gravity was shaken.
At that moment, Zhang Kuang pushed the ball back with his left foot, and his whole body rotated in the opposite direction, forcing half of his body out of Du Wei's defense.
Then he saw, Cris·Kang came in from the middle.
Zhang Kuang knocked his heel, and the ball passed between Du Wei's legs and rolled accurately to the center of the penalty area.
Cris·Kang Yingqiu is about to push the ball! At this time, Li Weifeng directly slides the tackle...
Cris·Kang did not shoot, but knocked the ball horizontally to Zhang Kuang who turned around and got rid of Du Wei.
Zhang Kuang hits the ball with a powerful push shot!
Yang Zhi reacted this time and pounced to the left, but the ball flew to the right.
The ball went in!
3:0!
Zhang Kuang hat trick!
After scoring the goal, Zhang Kuang directly performed a long-distance sliding kneel.
He Wei: "Oh, here, he scores again, Zhang Kuang, a hat trick. I feel like he hasn't exerted his strength yet. China national football team's defense has a big problem. It's only 0:3 behind at halftime. How can we play in the second half? This is a huge blow to the players' confidence!"
Xu Yang: "Yes, this makes me feel like No. 28 Manchester United kicked Arsenal. Arsenal also scored two goals, but can China national football team score a goal to redeem himself?"
This score really made the national team a little upset, and Camacho remained silent on the sidelines, which made the players think a lot about him. If nothing else, as the head coach, you should at least comfort the players, right?
What do you mean by not saying a word?
The broadcast camera also cut to Camacho from time to time. At this time, his eyes were a little empty. No one knew what he was thinking. This was his first official game coaching the national team, and he was scored three goals in the first half.
No reaction at all?
The game continued, and the players of the national team were a little confused. Zheng Zhi and Li Weifeng followed Zhang Kuang closely, not intending to give Zhang Kuang a chance.
However, without Zheng Zhi's midfield, Huang Bowen, Yu Hai, Chen Tao and Hao Junmin couldn't break into Hong Kong Team's 6-man midfield. They couldn't get out of the whirlpool of 6 people. Instead, Hong Kong Team took the ball away after only two or three kicks.
Soon the ball came to Cris Kang's feet. Cris rushed forward with the ball, and Zhang Kuang also rushed forward to get rid of Zheng Zhi. and Li Weifeng, but this time Zheng Zhi didn't give Zhang Kuang a chance, and held one of Zhang Kuang's arms tightly...
Cris·Kang passed the ball to Lee Chi-ho on the wing, and Lee Chi-ho went to the bottom. Due to the lack of Li Weifeng, China national football team did not dare to press too close to Lee Chi-ho. If Lee Chi-ho passed him, he would go straight in.
Sun Xiang only symbolically prevented Lee Chi-ho from cutting inside. Lee Chi-ho didn't cut inside either and passed the ball directly. At this time, Zhang Kuang, sandwiched between Zheng Zhi and Li Weifeng, had already reached the edge of the small penalty area. Yang Zhi was facing a formidable enemy.
When Lee Chi-ho's high ball came over, Zhang Kuang jumped up on the spot. Zheng Zhi held on to Zhang Kuang, but he couldn't hold it back at all. This guy was as powerful as a rocket engine.
Big Head Li Weifeng jumped behind Zhang Kuang. He couldn't let Zhang Kuang turn his head.
'bang'
Zhang Kuang still received the ball, but he did not swing his head to attack the goal. Instead, he passed the ball to Cris Kang on the line of the penalty area. Cris Kang shot without saying a word!
Yang Zhi reacted quickly and jumped out.
He Wei: "Ah, Cris·Kang's shot...Yang Zhi, oops, it's in, it's in again, 4:0, Lee Chi-ho's pass from the bottom, Zhang Kuang's header assist, Cris·Kang's explosive shot."
Xu Yang: "Zheng Zhi and Big Head's joint stranglehold cannot stop Zhang Kuang's header assist. This is 4:0. If this continues, Hong Kong Team will avenge the national team's 7:0 loss."
Chung Chi-kwong: "In, in, in, Cris Kang, header assist from Zhang Kuang, great, 4:0, 4:0, 4:0, my God, do you still remember July 11, 2004?
In the Asia qualifiers of Guangzhou Tianhe Stadium, Germany World Cup, the national team defeated Hong Kong Team 7:0. This score has always been painful for the Hong Kong Football Team players. Are you going to take revenge today?"
Wong Hing-kwai: "I didn't expect, I didn't expect that we would also have such a big score one day..."
At this time, Zheng Zhi was angry. He kicked the water bottle on the sidelines hard. The water bottle flew up and flew directly towards Camacho. When it was about to lead to a civil strife, the goalkeeper coach Ou Chuliang immediately jumped and reached out to catch the water in his hand. Then he yelled at Zheng Zhi:
"What are you doing? If you don't kick the ball well, why are you so angry?"
Zheng Zhi opened his mouth and endured it again. At this time, Huang Bowen immediately rushed over and carried Zheng Zhi back to the stadium.
Fortunately, the broadcast footage at this time was showing Hong Kong Team's goal celebration.
But many reporters and fans at the scene of the conflict saw it, especially Football Association's boss Wei Di, who was far away in the box, and they were so angry that they slammed the table.
No, we can't go on like this, otherwise the national team will suffer a tragedy.
"Xiao Zhang, who is in Chairman He's box? I'll go over in a minute and say hello."
"Okay, leader."
Just when Wei Di arranged it, Hong Kong Team's goal celebration ended in the stadium, and the game continued. In the next few minutes, there was no threat from both sides. The referee did not even give stoppage time, and then directly blew the half-time whistle.
He Wei: "Okay, the referee Al Jassim from Qatar blew the whistle to end the first half. The first half of this focus game ended. The 4:0 score was beyond everyone's expectations, but it was within expectations.
There is a 15-minute halftime break. I hope the national team will make good adjustments and cannot continue like this, otherwise it will lead to a tragedy..."
Xu Yang: "Yes, it must change. I think the national team really has too little understanding of Zhang Kuang, the 'world's number one shooter'. I don't know how strong the 'world's number one shooter' is who can't even guard Europe's strong teams and top players. We need to learn lessons..."
