He Wei: "I suspect this is Zhang Kuang's idea again. He had the idea in the UEFA Champions League finals this year, and then helped Manchester United win the championship. He has such wisdom."
Xu Yang: "Haha, don't tell me, it's really possible. If it wasn't Zhang Kuang's idea, how could he take the initiative to become invisible and not flash much during half the game?"
At this time, the Jordan Team players: Al-Zoubi collapsed on the turf, covering his face with his hands; Abdullah got up from the sliding tackle position and walked to his own half with his head lowered. Shafi lay on the goal line and did not get up for a long time.
After one minute, the game continues.
In the 43rd minute, Jack·Xu intercepted the pass from Hassan to Saeed in the midfield! He took the ball two steps forward and looked up to see Zhang Kuang looking back for the ball.
Zhang Kuang leaned against Abdullah, and Jack Xu's pass accurately found Zhang Kuang's feet!
Zhang Kuang used his back and buttocks to resist the pushing of Abdullah, keeping his center of gravity extremely low like an iron tower to stabilize his position.
Al-Zoubi rushed up from the side and planned to double-team, but Zhang Kuang saw Cris·Kang running forward at high speed from the top of the penalty area!
Zhang Kuang pulled and pushed the ball with his right foot: the ball passed between Abdullah's legs! It rolled accurately to the center of the penalty area!
Cris·Kang welcomes the ball and shoots!
The ball flew close to the grass and flew towards the lower left corner of the goal! Shafi fought hard to save, but the distance was too close and the angle was too awkward, and the ball had already rolled over the goal line!
The ball went in!
0:4!
He Wei's voice exploded in the live broadcast room. "Go in, go in, go in again, in the 43rd minute! Zhang Kuang did a wonderful job of protecting the ball with his back! Cris·Kang pushed the ball into the penalty area and scored! Hong Kong Team led Jordan 4:0 in the away game!"
His voice was suddenly affectionate and majestic. "I have traveled three thousand miles to fight, and my sword has been a million-dollar division! Zhang Kuang In this battle, you can retreat, receive, protect the ball, assist, everything is possible!"
He used his heel to send a through ball under double teams! This is a masterclass performance! This is the counterattack technique of a top center, and Cris Kang's insertion shot is equally wonderful!"
Xu Yang's voice trembled with excitement. "This pass is so exquisite! Zhang Kuang used his heel to send a through ball under a double team. Pay attention to his movements. He passes the ball without looking at anyone when he is behind the back. He completely relies on his prediction of his teammates' running routes!"
Cris Kang's running timing is also perfect! The tacit understanding between these two people has reached a terrifying level!"
Chung Chi-kwong's voice was hoarse on TVB: "GOOOOOOOOOOOAL! 4:0! Cris·Kang! Zhang Kuang assists! Zhang Kuang protected the ball with his back and passed Cris·Kang from behind under the attack of two defenders! This pass is really shocking!"
Wong Hing-kwai: "Good ball, good ball, good ball! Zhang Kuang's ball wave is simply a work of art! Posting, protecting the ball, trailing, and assisting, all in one go! This is the top center forward's return technique."
Hong Kong fans in the North Stand went crazy! More than a thousand people shouted in Cantonese, 'Hong Kong Team! Hong Kong Team!'
Jordan The fans stand fell into dead silence!
In 1 minute of stoppage time in the first half, Jordan Team's last attack was saved by Chan Wai-ho.
Subramaniam blew the whistle at the end of the first half. "Beep!"
"The first half is over!" He Wei's voice was filled with uncontrollable excitement, "China Hong Kong Team leads Jordan Team 4:0 in the away game!
The four goals came from Zhang Kuang, Zheng Shaowei and Cris Kang, Zhang Kuang had two goals and one assist, and Hong Kong Team played a perfect first half! Okay, after a short break, we will come back."
--
In Amman International Stadium's locker room, Troussier stood in front of the tactical board and quickly drew lines with the Mark pen.
"We did very well in the first half," said France, pointing to the tactical board. "Cris Kang's organization in the midfield was excellent, and Zhang Kuang's containment effect was obvious. But Jordan Team will definitely counterattack wildly in the second half, and they have no way out."
He drew a few arrows on the tactical board. "The first fifteen minutes of the second half are the most critical. The formation switches from 4-2-3-1 to 4-1-4-1. Leung Chun-pong and Jack·Xu take turns to protect the back line and cannot press at the same time. Cris·Kang retreats deeper to form a second interception."
He looked at the players. "Jordan Team will definitely strengthen the side crosses and set-piece attacks. Chan Wai-ho, Shane·Lowry. You two must pay attention to marking Deeb and Abdul-Rahman and not let them take off easily."
Chan Wai-ho nodded. "Understood."
Troussier looked at Zhang Kuang: "You continue to contain the two central defenders in the frontcourt without retreating too deep. Maintain your speed advantage. Once we intercept the ball and counterattack, you must move forward as soon as possible and continue your assassin strategy."
Zhang Kuang leaned on the back of the chair, drank water, and nodded. "Understood."
Fan Chun-yip was sitting on the massage chair in the corner, and the team doctor was relaxing his thigh muscles. He closed his eyes and listened to the coach's instructions, nodding from time to time.
On the other side of the Jordan locker room, Adnan Hamad looked ashen.
He shouted loudly in Arabic: "Are you playing football or sleepwalking?! Four goals! Home! Four goals scored by a team ranked 76th in the world!"
He patted the tactical board. "In the second half, the whole team pressed! All the full-backs pressed for assists! Long passes and lobs! Set kicks! Use all available means for me!"
Jordan The players lowered their heads and no one spoke.
At the same time, Hong Kong's social media has exploded.
"4:0! Did I read it wrong? Hong Kong Team was a guest and Jordan was leading by four goals?! Is Hong Kong Team so strong now? Leading 4:0 at halftime at every turn? When playing the national team, we also led 4:0 at halftime. This is too scary, I dare not admit it."
"Zhang Kuang scored two goals with one assist! Cris Kang passed and shot! Zheng Shaowei scored goals! Hong Kong Team The offensive line was all on fire!"
"Troussier is such a 4-2-3-1 formation! We suppressed Jordan in the first half! I dare not even think about it!"
"Leung Chun-pong hold on even though you are injured! Such a spirit is worthy of applause!"
"Keep up the good work in the second half! Hong Kong Team rush!"
"I have never seen Hong Kong Team so powerful! Zhang Kuang really changed the fragrance Hong Kong Football Team ball!"
"..."
In the CCTV live broadcast room, He Wei and Xu Yang are summarizing the first half.
He Wei: "Director Xu, how do you evaluate Hong Kong Team's performance in the first half?"
Xu Yang: "Excellent, even beyond expectations. Troussier's 4-2-3-1 showed amazing power in the away game.
Cris Kang's organization in the midfield, Zhang Kuang's containment in the frontcourt, and the two wing attacks made Jordan Team's defense completely unable to keep up with the rhythm."
He Wei: "The four goals came from three different players: Zhang Kuang, Zheng Shaowei, Cris·Kang. This shows that Hong Kong Team's attack points are very scattered, and Jordan Team is hard to defend against."
Xu Yang: "Yes, and you have to see that although Zhang Kuang has been invisible, his containment effect is too important. The two central defenders were pinned by him the whole time, and the wing was completely free.
This is the value of a superstar: you don't have to score goals yourself, his presence can change the game. This is what I said in the first half, but I couldn't understand it at first. Obviously Jordan Team's offense and defense are not bad, so why did he concede four goals?"
He Wei:"Why?"
Xu Yang smiled and said, "I think it's like a casino. What you play with the casino is luck, and what the casino plays with you is math."
A very simple algorithm, such as tossing a coin. If the coin is tossed only ten times, there may be three tails and seven heads, so the one who guesses heads will win.
But what if you guess 100 times, a thousand times, 10,000 times, 100,000 times, and a million times? Then the odds are infinitely close to 50-50.
Do you think that neither the gambler nor the casino wins or loses? Of course not, the casino has an invisible income, which is the table fee. The casino only needs to take 2.5%, so do you think, the longer you play, the more you lose? The casino is guaranteed to make money and never lose money."
He Wei:"Why 2.5%?"
Xu Yang: "Actually, this involves another classic gambling method in Europe and the United States, called European roulette. There are 37 grids. Among the red and black grids, the red grid only has one more grid than the black grid.
This seems fair, but in fact as long as you play enough games, you will find that the banker will always win 2.7% more than the gambler. Later, this 2.7% gradually became a rake or profit formula for everyone in the casino, and some will also be 2.5%."
He Wei: "Then what does this have to do with the match between Hong Kong Team and Jordan Team?"
Xu Yang: "It does matter, of course it does. Think about it, both teams have 11 people, right? But in the actual battle, Hong Kong Team has 12 people, Jordan Team has 11 people, or Hong Kong Team has 11 people, and Jordan Team has 10 people."
He Wei: "Why? This is wrong. There are no few people or many people."
Xu Yang: "Because Zhang Kuang can defeat two players, or Zhang Kuang alone has to contain two of Jordan Team's team members, or even more.
In this case, if Hong Kong Team releases Jordan to fight against each other, then the probability theory will tilt towards Hong Kong Team. Because when you Jordan Team attack, you will always 9 people are attacking, but when Hong Kong Team is attacking, 12 people are attacking. Therefore, in the same number of attacks, the success rate of Hong Kong is nearly 30% higher than that of Jordan Team.
This is why Jordan Team played halftime, as if there was nothing wrong with their offense and defense, but the result was 0:4 behind."
He Wei: "Ah? Can it still be calculated like this?"
Xu Yang: "You don't believe it? If you don't believe it, just watch the second half. It is estimated that the number of goals scored by Hong Kong Team will increase. As long as Zhang Kuang does not come off the field, then Hong Kong Team will keep scoring goals."
He Wei: "What if Zhang Kuang ends up?"
Xu Yang: "That's even simpler. Hong Kong Team Just tighten the defense. If you don't concede a goal or concede fewer goals, you'll win."
He Wei: "No, if I were Jordan Team, I wouldn't attack. I would defend first, so that I wouldn't concede so many goals. How did Hong Kong Team let Jordan Team attack?"
Xu Yang smiled, "See? This is the genius of this strategy, because Zhang Kuang is invisible. After many trials, Jordan Team found that Zhang Kuang was defended by them, and their attack was successful, so they found that there was an opportunity, so they attacked with all their strength."
He Wei: "Hey, I understand, now I understand everything. This, this strategy is really... brilliant, I don't know who came up with it."
Xu Yang: "Haha, that's not important. The important thing is that Jordan will definitely counterattack wildly at the beginning of the second half. I estimate that Hong Kong Team will quickly score another goal, and then when Jordan Team finds out that they have been fooled, Hong Kong Team will shrink."
He Wei: "Okay, thank you Director Xu for your analysis. Let us take a short break and look forward to a more exciting game in the second half."
Xu Yang's interpretation in the midfield was seen by hundreds of millions of China fans. Everyone found it incredible and thought it was impossible. It was impossible to calculate a game as a mathematical model.
"Xu Yang is overthinking, right? Is he just making up his own mind? How could he pull out some casino calculation formula and put it into a football match?"
"That's right, I think this is absolute nonsense. What do you mean by deliberately hiding yourself and letting Jordan Team go out to play against each other and then compare the chances of scoring?"
"Yes, even if you calculate the probability of scoring, it's not four goals, it's three goals at most..."
"Is there a difference between three and four? One more cannot be luck?"
"This... I still can't believe it."
"I don't believe it either. What kind of nonsense is this?"
"..."
After the 15-minute intermission, the second half officially begins.
Subramaniam blew the second half kick-off whistle. "Beep!"
Jordan Team immediately launched a fierce attack after kicking off the ball.
Adnan Hamad made very obvious adjustments during the halftime break: the entire formation was pressed fifteen meters forward, the two full-backs frequently pressed for assists, and the midfielder completely gave up on ball control and directly passed long balls to the two forwards.
In the 46th minute, Deeb directly returned the ball to Fathi after kicking off the ball in the center circle. Fathi made a long pass to find Abdul-Rahman in the frontcourt.
Abdul-Rahman stopped the ball with his chest and knocked it across to Hassan. Hassan took the ball on the left and faced Lee Chi-ho. He changed direction and accelerated the pass!
The ball flew towards the center of the penalty area, and Deeb jumped to the top under the defense of Shane·Lowry! He headed the ball!
However, due to the interference of Shane·Lowry, the ball was pushed with little force.
The ball flew toward the goal, and Fan Chun-yip held the ball firmly.
"Jordan Team launched an attack at the beginning of the second half!" He Wei said in an urgent voice, "Hassan's cross was very threatening, Deeb Although the header was successful, it lacked power. Shane·Lowry and Fan Chun-yip performed as steadily as Mount Tai today!"
In the 48th minute, Fan Chun-yip kicked the ball, but the ball was headed back to the frontcourt by midfielder Saeed.
Deeb picked up the ball at the front of the penalty area, leaned on Chan Wai-ho with his back, and passed the ball back to Fathi.
Fathi hits the ball with a long shot!
The ball flew towards the upper right corner of the goal. Fan Chun-yip flew to save it and lifted the ball over the crossbar with one palm!
"Fathi long shot! Fan Chun-yip save!" He Wei said in an excited voice, "Jordan Team's offensive in the second half was very fierce! Fathi's long shot was of extremely high quality, but Fan Chun-yip once again resolved the crisis with a world-class save!"
Xu Yang: "Jordan Team's goal scoring is making Jordan Team like a drug addict. Slowly, the whole team will be immersed in the offense. They will think that they are just a little bit lucky from scoring a goal, but this will also be Jordan Team's most dangerous moment."
Xu Yang As soon as these words came out, many fans online went crazy.
"Is Xu Yang crazy? Are you still addicted to attacking? Are you thinking it's a conspiracy theory about Hong Kong Team? Who the hell would come up with such a conspiracy?"
"That's right, Jordan Team is strong offensively. It's really shameful to have to come up with a bunch of reasons to cover yourself up."
"Xu Yang, can you commentate? It doesn't seem like this before, right?"
"..."
In the 50th minute, Fathi took a corner kick and the ball flew to the center of the penalty area.
Al-Zoubi jumped high in the crowd and headed the ball towards the goal! The ball flew towards the upper left corner of the goal, and Chan Wai-ho jumped up and cleared the ball out of the baseline.
"Al-Zoubi headed the ball! Chan Wai-ho hit the bottom line!" He Wei's voice became louder and louder, "Jordan Team won consecutive corner kicks! Hong Kong Team's goal was buzzing!"
The ball was cleared out of the sideline by Shane·Lowry, and Jordan Team continued the foul ball attack.
In the 51st minute, Adnan Hamad made the first substitution. No. 10 Hayel came on as a substitute and replaced No. 16 Saeed.
Hayel is an attacking midfielder. This substitution sends a strong signal: Jordan Team should continue to strengthen the offense and weaken the defense.
"Jordan Team replaced Hayel," He Wei said, "Saeed being replaced means that Jordan Team gave up the organization, possession and defense of the midfield and went all out to attack.".
Hayel has better skills and stronger passing ability. Jordan Team's goal is very clear: score goals at all costs."
In the 52nd minute, Hong Kong Team finally made its first threatening attack in the second half.
Jack·Xu intercepted Fathi's pass in midfield and immediately handed it to Cris·Kang.
Cris Kang took the ball, turned around, and hit the ball behind Jordan's defense!
Zhang Kuang started to push forward from Al-Zoubi. Al-Zoubi turned around and chased back, but Zhang Kuang was too fast! He had already rushed to the front of the penalty area!
Shafi attacked, Zhang Kuang took a shot while running at full speed!
The ball flew over Shafi's head towards the goal. Abdullah chased back at high speed from behind and made a sliding tackle in front of the goal line...
But the ball has been scored!
0:5!
He Wei's voice was full of overwhelming momentum. "Go in, go in, go in, go in! In the 52nd minute! Zhang Kuang! Scored a goal with a header! Hat trick! This is the fifth goal in this game and Zhang Kuang's third goal!"
His voice suddenly became distant and affectionate, like an aria in an ancient poem:
"The silver saddle shines on the white horse, rustling like a shooting star! Killing one person in ten steps, leaving no trace for a thousand miles! Zhang Kuang Today, under the night sky of Amman, I am like a swordsman who came from the prosperous Tang Dynasty: the silver saddle white horse, rustling like shooting stars, every step carries murderous intent, and every shot is fatal and elegant!
Look at this lob shot: Facing the attacking goalkeeper, he did not choose to explode or push, he chose the most difficult and elegant way: lob shot!
The moment the ball passed Shafi's head, time seemed to freeze! It was a moment where technology and art perfectly merged!
From Jack·Xu's steal, to Cris·Kang's scalpel-like through ball, to Zhang Kuang's start, acceleration, observation, and shooting.
The entire attack only took three passes, and it took ten seconds to go from one's own half to the opponent's goal! This is the ultimate interpretation of modern football counterattack!
Cris Kang's through ball is a work of art. Fathi's tackle was right behind him, but he jumped up to avoid it! He sent the ball out before losing his balance!
Zhang Kuang's running position is even more textbook-level. Every detail including starting timing, running route, and body adjustment before catching the ball is perfect!"
Xu Yang laughed heartily, "Haha, audience friends, do my words come true? Jordan Team will definitely attack wildly in the second half, and then they will become addicted like a drug, directly destroying the defense themselves, and they replace the midfielder. By this time, they are already slowly dying, and Zhang Kuang's goal is the result of all this."
As soon as Xu Yang said this, He Wei and the fans in front of the TV were all stunned.
It seems, it seems, there is some truth to it.
Is this true?
This, then this conspiracy is too scary, right?
The other side!
Chung Chi-kwong was already yelling at TVB until he lost his voice, "GOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! 5:0! Zhang Kuang hat trick! A shot! The ball went over Shafi's head and into the empty goal! The ball wave is so elegant that it is intoxicating!"
Wong Hing-kwai spoke very quickly, "What a wave! What a wave! What a wave! Zhang Kuang This ball wave is a perfect combination of technology and imagination! Facing the attacking goalkeeper, he didn't shoot or push, he just used a lob! This decision itself is world-class! Asia Which player dares to do this? Only Zhang Kuang!"
Zhang Kuang ran towards the corner flag area, without jumping up - he just stood there with his hands open, his head slightly raised, and his eyes closed.
Amman The night wind passed through both sides of his body, blowing his jersey.
The shouts from the Hong Kong expeditionary force in the North Stand were overwhelming, "Zhang Kuang! Zhang Kuang! Zhang Kuang! Zhang Kuang!"
At this moment, the entire Amman International Stadium is echoing with a name.
Jordan Goalkeeper Shafi lay on the turf and did not get up for a long time. He looked back at the Jingjing ball lying in the net, and then closed his eyes.
Abdullah stood up from the goal line, lowered his head and walked towards his own half.
Zhang Kuang's teammates rushed over and surrounded him.
