Champion’s Heart

Valdivia hit a world wave! The ball was fast and tricky! Although goalkeeper Sun Pan made a save, he was still unable to do anything... The Chinese team fell behind in the first eleven minutes!

Chile's players celebrated the goal to the cheers of their fans.

The fans of the Chinese team were silent.

They know that after experiencing unexpected situations such as a coaching change and the injury of core Zhou Yi in this World Cup, the prospects of the Chinese team are not very optimistic, but they still hold on to a bit of luck and hope that the Chinese team will win without Zhou Yi. It can also perform well, or not be so miserable.

But now, only eleven minutes into the game, the Chinese team has lost the ball.

...The Chinese team's defense was disrupted by Sanchez's dribbling. Everyone's attention was focused on Sanchez, completely ignoring Valdivia just outside the penalty area... Zhang Lu Analyze why the Chinese team just lost the ball. Of course Valdivia's world wave is also the key to scoring goals. If his shot is not so perfect, it is very likely that it will be saved by Sun Pan... Sun Pan has already moved forward to block the angle, but it is a pity that Valdivia's shot is not so perfect. Divia's shot was too tricky... The goal conceded by the Chinese team can be said to be an accident of bad luck, or it can be said to be the inevitable result of a series of mistakes...

The TV broadcast cut to the Chinese team's bench and replayed Zhou Yi's performance when he just lost the ball.

After seeing Sanchez turn around and brush Yang Muge, he stood up from his seat and stared at the stadium with concern and nervousness.

And when Valdivia scored, he sat back and pursed his lips.

The substitute teammates next to him all reacted more than he did. Some held their heads in their hands, while others were chattering regretfully...

But Zhou Yi just pursed his lips and sat in his seat.

He can't play, and he can't say anything. Can he complain about the unfavorable performance of his teammates on the court?

Of course he couldn't, he couldn't even show his expression of complaint and frustration.

Zhou Yi knew very well that there would be cameras facing him at this time, and even a slight change in expression on his face might be fermented by the media after the game and become big news.

This lost ball was like a heavy hammer hitting the Chinese players on the forehead, knocking them all unconscious.

Originally, due to a series of accidents before the start of the World Cup and his performance in the warm-up matches,

It makes some people lack confidence.

Now this conceded goal has made their lack of confidence even more serious.

When the game restarted, the Chinese team did not take advantage of their kick-off opportunity to launch any counterattack.

In fact, the minds of the Chinese team players are still confused and they do not have a unified thought.

On the contrary, Chile played more skillfully. After scoring the goal, the morale of the team increased greatly.

The Chinese team's possession of the ball quickly changed hands, and Chile took advantage of the situation to launch a new round of offensive.

Facing Chile's aggressive attack, the Chinese team could only defend passively, and they defended in a very awkward manner.

As a result, just two minutes after the Chilean team scored, in the 13th minute, the Chilean team passed a long diagonal pass from the left to the right.

After Arangis received the ball on the right wing, he passed the football to Sanchez who met him in the penalty area.

As soon as Sanchez got the ball, the Chinese team defender became nervous. Three people immediately surrounded him. They rushed to grab the ball from Sanchez's feet, but ignored Aranguiz.

Sanchez poked the football out when surrounded by three people, and the football rolled towards the baseline.

Sun Pan quickly abandoned the door and attacked.

And Aranghis came around from the other side and got the ball first.

At this time, Sun Pan did not immediately retreat to the goal, but continued to follow Arangis.

Arangis turned around with the ball, and Sun Pan also pressed forward, but was led farther and farther away from the goal.

After turning around, Arangis quickly passed the football to the goal. At this time, the Chinese team had an empty goal!

Zhang Linpeng wanted to head the ball to clear the ball, but he did not notice the Chilean forward Vargas who rushed up from behind him. He collided with Zhang Linpeng, and the ball was pushed to the side by him. Sanchez happened to appear there, and he used his body to push the ball to the side. Stop, then kick your ass and cum!

Sun Pan had already pounced back at this time. Regarding Sanchez's close shot, he reacted quickly enough to make a save and touch the football. However, Sanchez's powerful and heavy shot still failed. It penetrated his palm and flew into the goal behind him...

Sanchez——!! The Chilean team scored two goals in just three minutes and now leads the Chinese team 2:0!

Sanchez...danger! Ah! Alas! Duan Xin sighed heavily. We still lost the ball... The Chinese team was completely messed up in the defense of this ball...

I'm still affected by the loss of the ball just now. Zhang Lu said. The players haven't recovered yet. Sun Pan was a little anxious. In fact, he didn't need to rush out of the ball just now. He only needed to block the near corner. Not to mention, he followed the opponent's Arangis and rushed to it. On the small restricted area line...

Conceding two goals in three minutes, the Chinese team's start to this World Cup couldn't be worse.

The Chilean side was celebrating wildly. Bald head coach Sampaoli ran excitedly in front of his bench and waved his fists.

His goal has been achieved. In less than fifteen minutes, his team was two goals ahead of the opponent... As long as they play steadily, Sampaoli believes that it will be difficult for the Chinese team to come back - if Zhou Yi is on the court, it is still possible.

But having said that, if Zhou Yi is on the court, it’s hard to say whether Chile can score two goals against the Chinese team in a short period of time...

The TV broadcast once again switched to Zhou Yi.

Zhou Yi still pursed his lips and looked expressionless. No one can know what he is thinking.

Sitting on the bench, Zhou Yi suddenly thought of the time when he had just been transferred to the Dortmund first team. Dortmund faced Bayern Munich at home. Zhou Yi and Mark watched this game in the South Stand. Although he was a first-team player at the time, he was not included in the game roster, so he could only sit on the sidelines. Then he watched his team lose 0:5 at home to Bayern Munich.

At that time, he kept reminding himself that waiting is part of professional football, and so is failure.

He had to do this, otherwise he didn't know if he could still maintain his composure during the long wait of not knowing when it would end.

Even so, he was very unwilling at the time.

The feeling of watching your team lose the game and not even getting a chance to help the team is very bad and frustrating.

This time, too, exactly the same.

So behind his tightly pursed lips, his teeth were clenched together hard.

If you look carefully at his cheeks, you will find that there are abnormal bulges there, which are muscles exerting force.

Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck!!! Sun Pan, who lost the ball, sat on the ground and kept swearing. He was scolding himself. His attack just now was so stupid. If he hadn't attacked, how could the opponent send the football to the goal so easily? If he didn't attack, he wouldn't have rushed to deal with Sanchez's ball...

This goal is his responsibility.

After Zhou Yi was injured, he also patted his chest and promised Zhou Yi in the group that Zhou Yi could enjoy the wonderful result of winning on the bench without having to rush to pay, recover from the injury, and come back in the knockout stage.

Now it's his time to shine.

As a result, within fifteen minutes of the opening, he conceded two goals...

It’s not the ball that’s thrown, it’s the person! Shame on you!

Yang Muge gasped for air and looked at the Chilean who was celebrating the goal.

The game had only started for fifteen minutes, and he was already starting to feel tired... This had never happened to him who was in very good physical condition. Even when participating in the Ruderby, there was no such situation.

pressure.

Fatigue comes from intense stress.

Thirteen minutes into the game and trailing by two goals, many people may have felt tremendous fear and pressure at this time.

He looked around and saw many people who felt the same way as him.

Guo Nu's face turned red. He just ran to grab the ball from Sanchez's feet. As a result, he and his two teammates cooperated and failed to cleanly break the ball from Sanchez's feet. Instead, he let him poke the ball out...

Yan Min was pulling his hair with his hands, his expression was painful. Thirteen minutes into the game, he still hasn't done much offensively, and he hasn't been able to help defensively either. He feels like a waste.

He Ying lowered his head and turned his back to everyone, standing in the center circle, waiting for the kick-off. No one could see his expression, and no one knew what he was thinking.

At the end of the season, they discussed the upcoming World Cup in the group. They were all high-spirited and wanted to write their names in the history of Chinese football and on the stage of the World Cup.

They feel that with their many years of experience in Europe and their excellent form, if they combine together, although they are not unstoppable in the World Cup, it should not be difficult to get the right to qualify from the group.

They have many wonderful visions for the World Cup.

But starting from the loss of two games in the warm-up match and Gao Hongbo's physical collapse under the heavy pressure, many realities shattered all their beautiful dreams.

Having never participated in the World Cup, they now realize that the World Cup is far from their expectations...
