Chapter 19 How come there's still the magic of love spinning around?
Wilton!
Born in April 1987, he is only 21 years old this year. However, at this age, he is still considered a very young player in China, but Vertonghen is already a key player for Dutch powerhouse Ajax.
As a key player for a top-tier team, Vertonghen said he really didn't take this national Olympic team seriously, as they had been thrashed by countless bottom-tier professional teams in Europe.
Especially after hearing in the locker room just now that the Chinese team's head coach actually moved the goalkeeper to midfield...
Upon hearing this absurd and laughable adjustment, Wiltonghen burst out laughing in the locker room!
Even just now at the player tunnel, he secretly glanced at Su Yu, who was standing in the Chinese team's formation, and whispered and joked with his teammates, making a bet that he would make sure that Chinese goalkeeper wouldn't even touch the ball once in today's matchup!
Sure enough, right at the start of the match, Vertonghen confidently paused the ball after receiving it, waiting for Su Yu to pounce before making his move.
He tilted his whole body to the right, even moving his right foot to the left side of the ball, as if he was about to change direction to the right and eat Su Yu alive!
According to Vertonghen's conjecture, a player like Su Yu, who was originally a goalkeeper, could easily lose his balance with such a simple feint, and then Vertonghen only needed to move the ball slightly to the left to elegantly tear a hole in the Chinese team's defense in the middle.
Vertonghen had high hopes, but what he didn't know was that he wasn't facing a weak goalkeeper in the true sense of the word!
Instead, he was facing Su Yu, a midfielder with a world-class T0 level model, whose offensive and defensive talents were off the charts for his age group in the national youth team.
Such an obvious right-to-left sway.....
Su Yu didn't even need to think; the instant Vertonghen moved the ball slightly to the left, he slid in and tackled!
The football was simply tackled away from Vertonghen by Su Yu.
Wilton was stunned!
As a key player for Ajax, he is a player that many top clubs are paying close attention to.
Vertonghen truly hadn't expected that this guy, who was a goalkeeper just yesterday, would tackle so quickly and so decisively!
Vertonghen was momentarily stunned, but Su Yu, who had already gotten up from the ground, continued to dribble the ball and observe Belgium's backfield without any pause.
Dong Fangzhuo has already started to accelerate forward, and Hao Junmin on the right wing is also running hard. Su Yu wanted to pass the ball quickly, but the Belgian center-back Vimaren, who was trailing behind Dong Fangzhuo, steadily marked Dong Fangzhuo and locked down the passing space between himself and Dong Fangzhuo.
As for Hao Junmin?
That was Belgium's attacking opportunity, so Hao Junmin's position is now further back than his own.
With no clear passing lane, Su Yu quickly thought it through and immediately started a sprint in place.
Since there are no passing lanes, he will create them himself by pulling the ball around.
"Beautiful!!"
"Su Yu made that steal!"
"The game has only been going on for less than a minute!"
"Dong Fangzhuo is accelerating forward, and both wingers are also closing in!"
"Within a short time, the Chinese team and Belgium had created a 4-on-4 situation in their own half!"
"Su Yu is still playing by himself! He doesn't have any really good passing options!"
"Zheng Zhi is catching up!"
"Landry Müllermo has rushed out from behind Belgium, and Vertonghen is following behind. Su Yu is about to be double-teamed!"
On the field, just as Huang Jianxiang said.
Su Yu, who is not particularly fast, dribbled the ball into the heart of Belgium's backfield. Vertonghen, who had reacted quickly, was already sprinting towards him. At the same time, Belgian center-back Landry Müllermo, who had been retreating, chose to intercept head-on at the behest of his captain.
With one in front and one behind, the double attack quickly took shape.
At the same time, Dong Fangzhuo was also tightly blocked by Vimalen.
"Belgium's defense sets up incredibly quickly!"
"It looks like there's no chance now. I think Su Yu should focus on stabilizing the ball first!"
With no passing options available during the counter-attack, Huang Jianxiang's suggestion to first stabilize the ball was definitely the most reasonable course of action.
However, stabilizing the ball means that the counter-attack will turn into a positional attack.
As for positional warfare, Su Yu knew very well that the Chinese team was no match for the European Red Devils.
Therefore, after seeing Hao Junmin catching up from the right flank out of the corner of his eye, Su Yu quickly made his choice.
Facing Landry Müllermo, who was about to pounce on him.
Su Yu first used his right foot to flick the ball to the left!
This move forced Landry Müllermo, who was already preparing to kick, to temporarily abandon his attempt and instead twist his body to follow up.
Similarly, Vertonghen, who was following behind Su Yu and had just planned to close the gap with Landry Müllermo, had no choice but to continue following Su Yu's footsteps!
that's it!
On the Workers' Stadium, a scene familiar to almost all die-hard Barcelona fans unfolded.
First, he held the ball a little to the side, and then quickly brought it back to his own half before the opposing defenders could double-team him!
Left, then left again... and then left again!
Three consecutive changes of direction!
In a very short time, Su Yu led Vertonghen and Landry Müllermo on a full circle in his own half.
And after Su Yu completed Harvey's iconic magic spin dribble.
Just now, Su Yu had noticed out of the corner of his eye that Hao Junmin had sneakily rushed into the heart of Belgium's left flank backfield because of Su Yu's firepower.
No more hesitation!
Under the somewhat alarmed gazes of Landry Müllermo and Vertonghen.
Su Yu raised his right leg and then swung it rapidly to push the ball out!
The magic of love goes round and round + a through ball from the middle and side!
Almost instantly, Su Yu used his combo to tear apart Belgium's left flank defense.
"boom!!!"
Su Yu's through ball pierced the sky!
Hao Junmin charged into Belgium's penalty area at lightning speed!
The Workers' Stadium, which was not very noisy before, was now brewing up a thunderous roar as if it were about to explode!
"Good shot!"
"Su Yu's through ball!"
"Hao Junmin!!!"
"They've broken into the restricted area!!!"
"The goalkeeper has come out!"
"Belgium captain Vermaelen also rushed in!"
"Hao Junmin, kick!!!"
"Hao Junmin!!!"
Huang Jianxiang, who was in the commentary booth, jumped up excitedly.
Meanwhile, on the field at the same time!
Upon seeing the goalkeeper and the last center-back rushing towards him, Hao Junmin immediately raised his right leg.
However, this time, Hao Junmin did not choose to shoot himself.
Because he saw a figure he knew very well!
With a slight twist of his ankle, Hao Junmin pushed the ball to his side and behind him.
Classic mid-side pass followed by a triangular back pass!
At this moment, at the edge of Belgium's penalty area.
Having already shaken off Vertonghen and Landry Müllermo, Su Yu had already raised his right leg high.
The middle is open, and the goalkeeper comes out to attack.
A precise shot!
