Chapter 1185 World Cup legend, he is the god of the ball
Of course, it is impossible for one person to defeat a team, but a key clearance stopped the decline. Ten minutes of intensive defense allowed the Chinese team to regain the feeling of victory. An incredible shot made the players full of confidence in the victory. Captain and superstar, Li Huan has done everything he can, and the team's ability to shoot depends on how well his teammates perform.

The players of the Chinese team are also competitive. After Li Huan scored a goal, their spirits have also improved. They seem to have overcome the discomfort of the climate and jet lag. They run powerfully and press fiercely. That team is full of youthful vitality and enthusiasm The team is back.

Costa Rica played harder and harder. They belonged to the type of team that played like Brazil. They could play at a super level when they played as they wanted, but after being restricted by their opponents, they couldn't even play at a normal level.

In the 21st minute, the Chinese team hoisted the left corner of the penalty area to the small penalty area. Chen Teng headed the goal without anyone watching, but the ball was pushed high by him.In the 25th minute, Li Huan made a breakthrough on the right to create a corner kick.Li Huan took the penalty to the center. Xu Yang's head-shaking attack did not hit the right position, but the ball happened to be ferryed to the back point, but Liu Chao, who followed up, was a step slower. Although he hit the ball against the empty goal, the ball hit the outside goal. The column pops out of the bottom line. Two minutes later, the Chinese team made another killing attempt. The little monkey Yu Tong sent a through pass from the right. Chen Teng quickly inserted and threw the Costa Rican defender to cross the middle. Unfortunately, Xu Yang who followed up was half a beat too late, and the ball slipped past the goal.

In less than 10 minutes, the Chinese team made three threatening shots, but the players failed to seize the opportunity, while Costa Rica seemed to be stunned by the Chinese team, and there was no chance to fight back within 10 minutes. Can be beaten passively.

The head coach Lavolpe was yelling on the sidelines anxiously, let his players run more actively, control the ball more in the midfield, don't give the ball to the opponent easily, let the Chinese team easily counterattack .

As the saying goes, the defeat is like a mountain, how can it be changed by the head coach with a few shouts? The players in Costa Rica have not changed their appearance. They are still in a bad state. After wasting a few opportunities, the Chinese team played more calm.

In the No.303 minute of the second half, the Chinese team recovered another goal!Li Huan made a wide-ranging oblique pass from the backcourt, Fan Yang assisted to the frontcourt, took the ball from Costa Rica's right and sent a full-moon scimitar to the goal, Chen Teng overwhelmed the opponent's defender in the penalty area with a header, and Xu Yang made a header relay , the ball flew into the lower left corner of the goal after bouncing off the ground.

2: 2.
The Chinese team equalized the score.

The Chinese fans in the stands were very excited. They once again gave applause to the brave Chinese players. Some local Chinese and migrant workers were even more excited and proud. Only at this time did they truly feel the importance of being a Chinese. pride.

"Goal! Goal! The Chinese team equalized the score! It was Xu Yang who scored the goal! His header helped the Chinese team equalize, 2:2! This is a very favorable score, in the two rounds of knockout rounds in the World Cup and the Champions League In history, when the first round was tied 2-2, the home team had only 12.5% ​​chance of advancing, while the away team had a 87.5% chance of advancing. That is to say, even if the Chinese team did not score in the back, this score is still very good The score is up..."

Lavolpe also understands that the score is not good for him. He makes continuous substitutions and adjustments, preparing to launch the last wave of offense, hoping to score another goal.

The Chinese team under Li Huan's rule has never had the bad habit of being moderate and forbearing.After scoring this goal, the Chinese team continued to attack wildly, trying to complete a super reversal.

According to the progress of the game, the morale of the Chinese team is high, and the probability of completing the reversal is far higher than the probability of Costa Rica scoring again. However, the Chinese team traveled more than 1 miles and flew for more than 30 hours in the air, and brought it from the cold north to the tropics Grassland, their physical fitness finally gave up after tenaciously persisting for more than 70 minutes. Although they really wanted to score a goal, their footsteps were weak, their bodies were weak, and they couldn't run anymore!Even a physical madman like Li Huan felt the decline in physical fitness. He had to signal Chu Fu on the sidelines to replace a few midfielders who could run, to strengthen the control of the scene, and at the same time let the team start to shrink gradually, so that Costa Rica could not see Out of the decline in physical strength of the Chinese team.

At first, Costa Rica thought that the Chinese team wanted to defend the 2:2 draw. After all, the time was only 10 minutes. The Chinese team fell behind by two goals and tied twice. Keeping the tie was considered a victory. They were afraid of the Chinese team's counterattack and did not dare to make big moves. Offensively, when the Costa Rica team saw that the Chinese team was at the end of their strength, there were only 5 minutes left, and the Chinese team had already started to defend intensively. Costa Rica could not score any more goals even though they were all on the offensive. In the end, they could only play at home A 2:2 draw is accepted.

The players of the Chinese team were really tired. When the referees blew the whistle for the end of the game, almost all of them were sitting or lying on the turf, their clothes were soaked in sweat and they didn’t bother to take off. .

Although the Chinese team did not stand up to thank the fans, the fans were even more moved. This kind of Chinese team is respected and should be loved by the people. It turned out that the team only picked up girls and gambled, and bowed and apologized after losing. The team is basically a product of China's 3000 years of dictatorship + slavery.

At this time, a scene appeared that made the Chinese fans in the stands even more excited. The Costa Rican players who were still fighting with the Chinese team on the field suddenly turned into groupies. Beside them, let Li Huan sign a photo with them. Campbell, who scored two goals in this game, got the chance to exchange jerseys with Li Huan.

There are opponents on the court, and idols and fans off the court. Li Huan is used to this change of roles. He stood up and signed a group photo for the Costa Rican players. The first draw.Every Costa Rican player praised by Li Huan had excited eyes and flushed faces.

The commentator Duan Xuan couldn't help joking: "Lavolpe and the Costa Rica Football Association must be in a hurry. Their players are all fans of Li Huan. How should they play in the next game? Who would want to shovel Li Huan?"

At the post-match press conference, because Li Huan was very tired, Chu Fu attended by himself. Chu Fu praised the bravery of the Chinese Expeditionary Army. It was not easy to equalize the score when two goals behind. Said: "Since the establishment of the new national team, the Chinese team has not encountered the current difficult situation. The time difference, the climate environment is not suitable, and it is two goals behind. This has given the Chinese team a preventive shot in advance. If the Chinese team If they can qualify for the World Cup finals, these are the things that the Chinese team must consider in advance.” Chu Fu also said that they must prepare carefully after returning to the home court, and they will not be careless, and the strength of Costa Rica should not be underestimated.

Costa Rica coach Lavolpe expressed regret for the result of the game. He said: "We won the process, but did not win the result. It is a pity to get a draw in the right time and place. Of course, with the Chinese team It's amazing, even if we win, we may not be able to qualify. In the next game, we will become a team with the right time and place, and it will be very difficult for us, but I hope my players Don't give up with the fans, don't forget that in the 2002 World Cup, we were playing in Asia. At the gate of the Chinese team, we also had the right time, place and people and didn't take advantage of it, but we won the victory. I hope the players can Bring out the spirit of the predecessors and accomplish a miracle."

Later, when accepting questions from reporters, Lavolpe spoke highly of Li Huan again, "If Ronaldo is an alien, and Pele and Maradona are the kings of the ball, then Li Huan can be said to be a ball standing in the sky overlooking the earth." God, with him, everything becomes easier. I don't despise coach Chu Fu and the original coaches of Li Huan. They are all coaches with real talents. The miracle of Finnheim, the myth of Arsenal, and the legend of Atletico Madrid may all appear."

The second round of the match between the Chinese team and Costa Rica will be held a month later, but the media and reporters have already determined that the Chinese team will undoubtedly advance to the finals of the World Cup.After the game, Costa Rica's "Nation" lamented: Costa Rican's dream is over, leading two goals at home and did not win the Chinese team, is there any hope in the away game? "

"Freedom of the Press" said: "Losing a good game! Being equalized when leading by two goals, failing to seize the opportunity to counterattack when the opponent's physical strength was exhausted, Costa Rica looked to be exhausted and reached the World Cup finals for the fourth time. The dream may be coming to an end."

China's "Ball News" was even more excited: "The Chinese team has survived the tropical rainy season and returned to the island city of China. There is no doubt that the Chinese team will advance. With two away goals in hand, the Chinese team only needs 0. :0 and 1:1 draw can advance. With Li Huan, we believe that the curse of "drawing and qualifying" will be broken."

"Weekly" commented: "Although the Chinese team's winning streak was terminated and they encountered a draw for the first time, this draw is beneficial to the Chinese team. Even if we don't score at home, we can still advance. But Costa Rica has to attack, victory is very close to us, and we are only 90 minutes away from reaching the World Cup finals for the second time, let us witness a miracle in the island city where Li Huan played wild ball back then."
