Chapter 159
"boom——"
Chen Huan's right foot hit the ball.
Nesterov had already decided the direction of his save before Chen Huan touched the ball. He rushed to the lower right corner of the goal as the ball flew out.
He misjudged the direction.
The ball went straight into the goal from the middle in a half-high shot and hit the net.
Chen Huan rushed to the corner area, taking off his jersey as he rushed.
At this moment, the Sydney International Arena seemed to be surrounded by a raging fire, and the red figure jumped and roared.
""It's in!" Head coach Leeson shouted loudly at the coaching booth.
In the Longguo TV station:"It's in! In the last stage of the overtime, Chen Huan took the penalty kick and scored! We have almost stepped into the door of the Asian Cup knockout stage!"
Members of the coaching team, players on the bench, and team staff all rushed into the stadium to hug the Longguo players, roaring loudly to release the emotions that had been suppressed for more than ten minutes.
Chen Huan took off his jersey and then held the back of it high to the fans in the stands.
Chen Huan in the camera had clear muscle lines, and half of the red No. 7 jersey was contaminated by mud.
Teammates rushed over, and Zheng Jun shouted in the crowd:"Pick him up, pick him up."
Zheng Jun and several other strong players came over immediately. They picked up Chen Huan, threw him high into the air, and caught him steadily after he fell down. The
Australian security personnel at the Sydney International Arena looked at the crazy celebration of the Dragon Country fans and felt their palms sweating slightly.
"Oh my god, I have never seen such crazy fans." The white security guard said to his companion.
The latter also nodded slightly and said in a low voice:"I hope God blesses us and nothing will happen later."
……
""Ah, ah!"
In South Korea, the football anchor on the live broadcast website had a gloomy face.
"damn it……"
"How can a penalty kick be counted as a goal? If I were to take this penalty kick on the field, I would have scored it. This has no value at all!"
"The twelve-penalty nuclear explosion made me laugh to death, hahaha, unlike our Son Heung-min, his goals are real!"
……
The referee warned the players several times before they calmed down.
They let Chen Huan down, and Chen Huan unfolded the jersey in his arms, then looked at the camera, lowered his head and gently kissed the national flag on his chest.
The game started again, and this time it was Uzbekistan who kicked off in the center circle.
""Hurry, hit them directly from behind, and pile up all the high points!" On the sidelines, the head coach of the Uzbekistan team roared loudly at the players on the field.
The tallest players of the Uzbekistan team, including the two central defenders, all gave up their previous positions and rushed to the Longguo half, looking for a way to equalize the score.
Faced with such a situation, the Longguo team also returned to defense. In just forty seconds, the Uzbekistan team's midfielder used the simplest and most direct high-altitude ball to hit the Longguo half, but they failed.
"The Uzbek team intends to break through the Dragon Country's goal through high-altitude balls, but from now on, their chances are slim. Judging from the height alone, the average height of the Dragon Country national team is not inferior to that of the Uzbek team."
In the Dragon Country Sports Channel, Xiao Zhan said
"Yes, but they have no better choice, because there is not much time left for the Uzbekistan team!"Coach Zhang said with a smile
……
After the extra time, the referee allowed the Uzbekistan team to complete a high-altitude pass, but after Chen Huan jumped high and headed the ball out of bounds, the referee blew the whistle for the game.
"Dear Audience——"
In the Longguo Sports Channel, Xiao Zhan's excited voice sounded:"The Longguo national team has entered the knockout stage of the Asian Cup! This is the first time in the past 20 years that we have made it from the group stage to the knockout stage! This is a historic moment."
"Yes, this is a gift from the Dragon National Team to all Dragon National fans on the day of the Spring Festival. I wish you all a happy Spring Festival and hope that our national team can set a new record in the knockout round."
Xiao Zhan said,"Yes. According to the previous grouping, Dragon National Team will play against Fuso, the first team in Group D, in the quarter-finals on February 25. The winner will enter the finals. Let us wish Dragon National Team to defeat Fuso National Team and win the Asian Cup trophy for us in advance."
……
The first channel of Longguo Middle School was playing this musical. After the musical ended, several hosts came up.
One of them, Ma Shu, a female host from the sports channel, smiled and said,"Dear friends, we just received news that our Longguo team, thousands of miles away in Australia, defeated the Uzbekistan team in the group stage and qualified for the group stage. This is really a good start."
In Longguo, there are many fans, but there are also many people who never watch football.
But when the news that Longguo defeated the Uzbekistan team and advanced to the knockout stage was spread through the Spring Festival Gala, various social platforms were directly blown up.
"What happened to the Dragon Country National Team?"
"Asian Cup"
"Chen Huan"
"The hero who made the final kill."
On the largest social platform in Dragon Country, the top four hot searches were all about the situation of this game.
……
Chen Huan first stood on the court with his back supported, then he lay down.
Some teammates in the distance were still celebrating loudly, but Chen Huan had no strength left.
He felt as if his body was filled with lead, and there was no part of him that was not heavy. At the same time, every time he moved slightly, he would feel a piercing pain.
"boom——"
Suddenly, a firework exploded in the empty arc on the court, followed by a series of explosions. Countless points of light screamed into the dark night sky, and then suddenly exploded.
Silver, red, and green tiny points of light exploded from the center, like a blooming peony flower, and then the points of light fell, like thousands of pop stars.
"We won." Chen Huan's lips curled up slightly, and suddenly all the pain in his body disappeared.
He stood up and rushed into the celebrating crowd. He hugged his teammates, emptied his mind and followed the others to dance and sing.
In the stands, the fans did not leave for a long time.
There were middle-aged men with gray hair wiping the tears from the corners of their eyes, and young people who knew nothing about time waved their fists and sang the celebration song.
