In 2022, the Chinese women's football team won the Asian Cup, and our whole family cheered in front of the TV, extremely excited.
This article is dedicated to the women's football pla...
Without Su Li, Tiezhong did not win, but they did not lose either.
Overtime is also divided into two games.
Su Li's action earned herself a red card and gave No. 4 Middle School a direct free kick. No. 16 took the penalty. Her kick was very threatening, but was still blocked by Jia Keke. After that, Jia Keke passed the ball to Zhang Sheng, and the first half was over.
There is no break during overtime, but the referee will give the players some time to drink water and wipe off their sweat, but that's it.
The coach couldn't explain the tactics anymore and could only give some instructions.
Soon, the referee blew the whistle and players from both teams returned to the court.
There was no delay in the iron, but it wasn't fast either.
They are really, too tired.
Su Li shouted loudly behind them: "Come on! Come on——"
Su Li didn't say anything until both teams took to the court. She sat there and took a sip of water: "NND, I must practice my speed when I get back!"
A player who was close to her said, "You won't be able to practice this when you go back today, right?"
Su Li glared and said, "I'll use it in the next game!"
The player who had a good relationship with her just smiled and said nothing more.
Ren Yong, who was standing next to him, pursed his lips.
Just now, Coach Ni didn't say anything, and no one said anything, but she felt a heavy sense of guilt.
She ran the whole field, and then she couldn't run anymore. This seemed to be correct, but why couldn't she run anymore?
Yes, she is under a lot of pressure, but is she under as much pressure as Zhang Sheng? Does she run more than Zhang Sheng?
Then why can Zhang Sheng still run, but she can’t?
Physical reserve.
She knew the problem without anyone telling her.
Her physical reserves were too insufficient. Perhaps, they were nothing in the entire iron competition. Perhaps, they were enough for provincial competitions, but they were not enough in the national competitions.
She couldn't help but take a long breath.
Once, she had the chance to change;
She used to practice more, but she didn't stick with it...
After kicking the falling leaf ball, she practiced it with great enthusiasm for a while, but her success rate was pitifully low, and then gradually, she stopped practicing. The same goes for extra training. They practice a bit during the summer vacation, but then very rarely after school starts, especially after they enter the national competition.
"You will definitely get the spot this time," her parents told her.
Her family conditions were pretty good, although her parents only sold fruit, but her parents had always loved her very much. Maybe there were still some shortcomings, but they tried their best.
She knew they tried their best.
She has not been doing very well in school since she was young, and there are many reasons for this. For example, her parents don’t quite understand it, and she herself doesn’t have this awareness. In short, she was always a poor student in junior high school.
She was ignorant of all this, but her parents became anxious and used their connections to find ways to get her into No. 6 Middle School.
She was very unhappy at the time because No. 6 Middle School was not that good and was far from home. She might as well go to No. 1 Middle School which she had originally been selected into.
"Sixth Middle School has physical education!"
"If you don't study well, you have to practice a sport!"
At first, she complained about the choice her parents gave her, saying it was too hard - if she wasn't good at studying, she could practice art.
Later I realized that she couldn't afford it.
It was from that time that she began to practice sports seriously, and then she was selected to the football team, and then she came to Tiezhong.
After coming to Tiezhong, I realized that my parents were right. At least they chose the best path for her within their ability.
Many of her elementary school friends are no longer in school; among those from her junior high school, some have gone to study technology, and some have gone to technical secondary schools. Although her grades were still not good, she still had hope of going to college.
She still didn't quite understand the difference between college and these things, but she also knew that her situation should be better.
And now, it is almost certain that she will be able to go to college!
"Our daughter has worked hard over the years, it's time for her to relax." That's what her mother said.
"I still need to practice after I go to college."
"Then who forced you to do that?" Her mother glared at her. Her father also told her to pay more attention to her studies. She said that she was just like that and that no matter how hard she tried, there would be no improvement. Her father said that if she paid more attention, things would always get better.
As a result, she became even less attentive to the extra training.
Is she studying harder? Not really, but it seems that without extra practice, I seem to be more diligent in studying.
She sometimes feels a little guilty, but mostly not, because not many people in the team would practice extra.
And now, she regrets it.
She thought that if she had continued to practice, she would not have retreated just now, and Fan Jiajia would have passed the ball to her. She might have been able to score a goal herself, or pass it to Zhang Sheng, or even Wang Yijing!
No matter how bad the situation is, they won't lose the ball!
At least it won’t be so embarrassing!
If they hadn't lost that ball, No. 4 Middle School wouldn't have had the opportunity for a fast break, and Su Li... wouldn't have come down!
Even though Su Li herself said earlier that it might not be possible in the second half, but at least, they wouldn't be left with only ten people!
Yes, there are only ten people in Tiezhong now, which makes their situation even more embarrassing.
Zhang Sheng runs more than before. Before, she was more involved in organizing the offense, but now, she has to participate more in defense.
Even though she had always been in good physical condition, she was tired at this time.
Her spirit was still holding on, but her body was tired.
Wang Yijing was so anxious that she was jumping up and down, but she just couldn't position herself well, and the opponent's No. 7 got there first several times.
Time passes by every second.
Five minutes into the second half;
Ten minutes into the second half.
The students on the bench of No. 4 Middle School started singing the school song, and the students of Tie Middle School began to shout "Come on!" in unison - they wanted to sing too, but there was really nothing to sing at the moment.
"If this is dragged on until the penalty shootout..." Coach Sun said thoughtfully, "It doesn't seem to be very friendly to you."
Coach Ni nodded. Coach Sun said nothing more. He paused for a moment and said, "This... is not a prophecy!"
Coach Ni smiled and Coach Sun was speechless.
"We haven't played overtime this time... yet."
Coach Sun was startled, and Coach Ni said, "The kids don't have much confidence."
After she said this, she stopped talking. Coach Sun thought about it and realized that this was going to be a time for him to explain to her why she had used those wrong words he had said earlier as an excuse. This, this is really a reason! Thinking of this, Coach Sun felt a lot more comfortable. Che Yitong next to him pouted her lips. She didn't know why she pouted, but she just wanted to.
At this point, the competition had already become quite intense.
Zhang Sheng is running, No. 16 is running, and Wang Yijing is running.
Both teams had lost their formation - Tiezhong was running out of energy, and No. 4 Middle School was not much better. Although their bench reserves were better, players like No. 16 and No. 7 who was defending Wang Yijing were not easily replaceable. Even after the substitutions, we were still exhausted after playing such a game. Several players on both sides could no longer run.
The change occurred in the thirteenth minute.
At this time, there were only two minutes left until the end of the game, and Tiezhong got the ball again.
The one who got the ball was Zhang Sheng. As soon as she got it, No. 16 came over.
Zhang Sheng ran forward with the ball, and No. 16 harassed him all the way. Seeing that No. 11 was about to come over, Zhang Sheng passed the ball to Fan Jiajia with a heel pass.
Fan Jiajia was extremely tired at this time, but the ball was in her hands and she had to deal with it. She first glanced at Wang Yijing and didn't see her. Just as she was about to dribble the ball forward, she saw Zeng Qian.
As Ren Yong's substitute, Zeng Qian did not perform well in overtime, but she was in a good position now, so Fan Jiajia passed the ball directly to her.
Zeng Qian got the ball and prepared to cut in diagonally, but as soon as she reached the penalty area, she ran into defense.
The opponent's level was not better, but Zeng Qian's level was worse. Seeing that the ball was about to be lost, she raised her eyes and saw Wang Yijing. Without thinking much, she passed the ball.
She passed the ball very well and Wang Yijing also got the ball, but Wang Yijing was in the midfield at this time!
Yes, she is in the midfield!
Why is she, a forward, in midfield at this time?
Well, there are really many reasons for this. The first point is that Wang Yijing couldn't get the ball. It was like having a lot of dragon-slaying skills but having no place to display them, so she was anxious, especially when she saw Zhang Sheng running so tired, she became even more anxious. She started running around, thinking that maybe she would run out of opportunities; then, the formation was completely messed up. Now both sides had several people standing in the midfield, so she didn't think she did anything wrong in this position. In addition, there are factors such as her attempt to tire out the defenders by running and break down the opponent's defense.
Of course, no matter what, as a striker, it is inappropriate for her to appear in the midfield at this time, but it is precisely because she is in the midfield that she can get the ball smoothly - the opponent's number seven was really tired of her, and when he saw her running here, he didn't press too hard.
The opponent also didn't expect that at this time, Tiezhong would take the initiative to pass the ball back!
In short, Wang Yijing got the ball.
She started running.
The No. 4 Middle School team was simply going crazy. There was a huge noise coming from their bench, and the players were shouting at the top of their lungs, while those on the field were trying desperately to stop them.
"She can't make it! She can't make it!" Coach Mao kept muttering frantically in his mind, his eyes fixed on the clock hanging on the sidelines.
14 minutes and 12 seconds, less than a minute left until the end of the game!
There is no injury time in this kind of overtime. Once it’s over, it’s really over!
Yes, this distance can be reached by ordinary people, let alone players. However, there will be players who can stop them!
Indeed, there is.
Number 7 was chasing madly, and number 16 was even more excited, but after she ran two steps, there was an obstacle on her side.
Zhang Sheng!
At this time, Zhang Sheng certainly couldn't reach out to pull No. 16, but he could squeeze her from the side and interfere with her so that she couldn't arrive in time.
The other students from Tiezhong were also trying to find ways to stop No. 4 Middle School.
But even so, No. 11 still arrived and she just stretched out her foot to shovel.
She didn't care about fouls or red cards at this moment!
"Ah——" Zhou Chuan couldn't help but scream.
"Be careful--" There was also a shout from the Tiezhong bench.
Wang Yijing saw No. 11 and wanted to hide, but it was too late. With a bang, she and No. 11 fell together.
A huge cry of regret came from the Tiezhong bench, Zhou Chuan and Jiang Hua stomped their feet, the Sizhong students cheered, and Coach Mao clenched his fists and waved his arms, that's it! That's it! Luck is on their side!
From this position... Wang Yijing can’t score the penalty!
Well, now, Wang Yijing is at the edge of the penalty area.
And she only had this one chance, and the entire Tiezhong only had this one chance - in fact, the game was over now, but because of the foul by No. 11, Tiezhong still had a direct free kick.
"Jingjing can probably make the penalty kick." There was a lot of worry on the Tiezhong bench, but Coach Ni didn't say anything.
Can I? not sure.
Yes, the range of Wang Yijing’s Crescent Moon Scimitar is twenty meters, but that only means that she can use this move within this distance and use it correctly.
But, Beckham himself has missed a penalty kick, so can Wang Yijing definitely score?
Yes, she scored in all the previous games, but this can be said to be survivor bias, or it can be said to be insufficient sample size - Wang Yijing, how many games has she played? How many free throws were taken? Of course, her goal rate is scary. But when their ball feel is good, those stars can still score a goal in each game in major competitions such as the Champions League and the World Cup - but if they lose the feel, they may not score a goal for dozens of games.
Wang Yajing was not sure either, but she knew that the ball must go in!
It’s not that they are afraid of penalty shootouts, but if it really comes to that time, they will just leave their fate to luck.
She took a long breath, and Zhang Sheng patted her shoulder: "Don't be nervous, it's okay."
She nodded, and then began to swing her right foot back and forth.
Her action made everyone a little confused. Tiezhong looked at each other and asked, "Is she practicing shaking the cow's tail?"
After all, Wang Yijing had done this action before, and Wang Hao just mentioned it, so some people thought of shaking the cow's tail - although they couldn't be sure, but, it should be it, right? But at this time, why is she shaking the cow's tail?
"She's moving her ankle..."
Well, this answer is more reliable, and the referee thought so too, so he gave Wang Yijing some time, but seeing that she didn't finish it, he had to warn her.
Wang Yijing nodded but did not stop walking.
"If you can't take the penalty, change someone else." The referee spoke again.
“No, no…Okay!”
Having said this, Wang Yijing's feet landed on the ground, and then she took a long breath, tapped her fingers in front of her a few times, and then she swung her right leg.
The four players jumped together on the field. Although they knew that jumping might be useless, they still used up all their strength at this moment.
"Don't come in, don't come in, don't come in--" At this time, the people on the bench of No. 4 Middle School no longer cared about etiquette or whether Tiezhong could hear it. Almost everyone was muttering.
"Go in - go in -" Tiezhong was shouting, Zhou Chuan and Jiang Hua were also shouting.
"Come in - bah, still don't come in -" Che Yitong was also tempted to let him in, but she reacted immediately.
The football flew across the air, hit the goal frame, and then fell inside!
