Chapter 279

The World Cup officially opens on June 10. The first match was Germany, the host country, against Costa Rica. China, the team occupying the second half of Group H, ranked 15th in round 1, the opponent being African champion Tunisia.

Tunisia has traditionally been a strong team in Africa. They have reached the World Cup final three times in 1978, 1998 and 2002. 2006 will be their fourth World Cup appearance.

The team is effective with Ajax defender Trabelsi, Birmingham defender Jaidi and Nuremberg centre-backs Cedri and Mnari. Overall strength should not be underestimated.

For the Chinese team, if they want to qualify, they must win the match against Tunisia. It's hard not to recall this situation in the match against Costa Rica four years ago. "Santos, Tunisia's core striker, is injured and he cannot participate in the first group match against the Chinese team." Assistant coach Nikon reports the latest information to Alihan.

"This is good news. Either way, we cannot make the same mistakes as four years ago. We must position ourselves as challengers and give our best in every match!"

During the pre-match tactical arrangement meeting, Alihan gave important instructions to the two defensive players Zhang Yaokun and Ji Mingyi: "Tunisia will most likely send 20-year-old Chikawi to start. His explosive power is very strong. You must monitor closely. Defense."

Zhang Yaokun and Ji Mingyi nodded with serious expressions. Compared to African players, speed is the weakness of national players.

"Also, Jaidi's header and Jamari's free kick were both excellent, so be careful when defending."

"We have to stay rational and calm on the field. The pace of the match will certainly be controlled by the opponent. We just need to do a good job defending, wait for the opportunity to pass the ball to Vuong Phong to counterattack, and don't act hastily and lose position.

.....

At the Allianz Arena in Munich, about 10,000 Chinese fans took the stage to support. When the familiar cheering sound rang out, the match officially began.

Tunisia had an absolute advantage in midfield from the start. Excellent confrontation ability and the ability to apply fierce pressure meant that the Chinese team could not keep the ball in the midfield and could only continue to reduce the defense. Fortunately, when the squad was forced into the 30-meter range, the unsuccessful dense defense caused many Tunisian attacks to return, including teenager Chikawi, the offensive advantage was completely eliminated. full.

Tunisia's most dangerous attack took place in the 25th minute. Chedri dribbled the ball inside and then passed it into the penalty area. Jaidi shook his head and attacked the goal. Li Weifeng in front used his body to block the ball from going out of bounds. Tunisia received a corner kick and Sun Jihai cleared the ball in the penalty area. Zhao Junzhe on the edge of the penalty area distributed the ball to Wang Feng not far away, who then turned around to dribble the ball and quickly organized a counterattack.

Midfielder Namuzzi standing in front of Vuong Phong was changed direction and thrown out, quickly approaching the 30m area of ​​the front yard. At this moment, Trabelsi, Jamali and Haji, who quickly returned to the defense, surrounded him.

Wang Feng saw Shao Jiayi rushing to respond, so he used his right foot to sweep the ball back to Shao Jiayi, and at the same time rushed into the penalty area. After Wang Feng, Haji came to protect Shao Jiayi.

Shao Jiayi was forced aside by Haji. After approaching the penalty area, he hurriedly made a pass. The quality of the pass is not high. He hits the defender but he still staggers towards the penalty area. Inside.

Wang Feng sprinted before Shao Jia made the pass, made a move to win the point, and the two Tunisian defenders followed subconsciously.

As the shadow faded, the approximate location of the landing spot quickly formed in his mind, so he ran two steps and then suddenly turned back, forced to escape the double team between advancement and retreat.

Near the point of contact, Vuong Phong jumped high with his back to the goal, using the instep of his left foot to hit the ball down. His powerful shot went straight into the goal of Tunisian goalkeeper Boomnger. "The goal has been scored! Wang Feng's amazing beard helped the Chinese team open the score!"

"In the 27th minute, the Chinese team used a defensive counter-attack to knock on Tunisia's door! This is the Chinese team's historic breakthrough at the World Cup! We scored our first goal in the World Cup!"

"We are now in the lead! Viewers in front of the TV, remember this historic moment!"

"Decades of hard work and countless failures, we have finally been waiting for this moment. Wang Feng, our world footballer, shines brightly on the stage of the finals World Cup!"

"At just 23 years old, he is not only the present of Chinese football but also the future!"

After scoring, Vuong Phong quickly got up from the ground and rushed towards the stands where the national fans were. He pointed to the sky with one hand and with the other held the National flag on his chest.

"Vuong Phong, Nguu Sat!"

"Vuong Phong, I love you!"

The ups and downs of the sound reached Vuong Phong's ears. Hearing the familiar language, his heart pounded. It's a feeling he will never experience playing for a rich club.

Those who came later surrounded Vuong Phong, everyone's faces were filled with happy smiles, they had made history!

.....

After taking the lead, the players tried even harder. They continuously prevented Tunisia's fouls from going out of goal. Wang Feng also proactively retreated to defend, sometimes even retreating into the penalty area. After 71 minutes of the second half, the Chinese team was still leading. The crowd in the stands held their breath nervously. Many people complained in low voices: "Why does time pass so slowly?

At this time, Tunisia received a direct free kick in the front field. Jamari took the penalty and kicked it straight into the goal. It's embarrassing to even have points! "

"The quality of this free kick is very high. Our defense doesn't have any big problems, but I'm afraid of ridiculous goals like this."

Tunisia's equalizer damaged the Chinese team's morale and victory seemed lost. Everyone was disappointed and Wang Feng was no exception.

But he knew the match was not over yet and that discouragement and depression could turn into reluctance and hard work, so he clapped his hands to summon the players and said: "Everyone, we are very close to victory." Historic win, right? Ready to achieve unique victory? » Is this a draw? »

"Just try harder, defend and pass me the ball, we still have a chance!"

The teammates nodded when they heard these words. They all watched Wang Feng's matches, especially Inter Milan's three Champions League finals were all very impressive, and Wang Feng, who never gave up, also infected many of them.

The match continued, Tunisia did not accept the draw and continued to put pressure on the Chinese team, while the Chinese team waited for a fleeting opportunity while defending firmly.
