Champion’s Heart

When the two sides entered the locker room to make adjustments, the first half was also discussed on TV stations and on the Internet.

For Chinese fans, although the score is still 1:1, what they gain is more excitement and excitement.

In the last game, the Chinese team defeated the defending champion Spain 2:0, but after the analysis, everyone found that the Spanish team was actually a paper tiger in appearance. The Chinese team, who fought hard to defeat them, was not very surprised.

But now, facing the host who is in full swing, the Chinese team can equalize the score even after conceding a goal first, which is very difficult and remarkable.

Almost no one can find fault with this performance.

Although Yan Min scored an own goal, when everyone calmed down and looked at it, they still had to admit that the goal conceded was destined. No matter whether Yan Min had that kick or not, it would be difficult to change the result.

Moreover, Yan Min then used his active fighting in the frontcourt to grab the opportunity for the Chinese team to equalize the score. This performance is impeccable.

In the rear studio, the host and guests talked about the performance of the Chinese team in the first half. They all hoped that the Chinese team could continue the performance before the end of the first half. They must be patient and don't be anxious, because the pressure is on Brazil's side. .

Playing at home has advantages and disadvantages. The guest's views were similar to Lippi's. The Brazilian team cannot lose, they must win. So if we can hold on to this score, as the game progresses, the Brazilian players will become more and more impatient. By then, the Chinese team will have more opportunities to counterattack...

The fifteen-minute intermission passed quickly, and when the players from both sides reappeared on the court, the second half was about to begin.

... In the first half, the Chinese team even had an advantage in possession of the ball, 57% to 43%. Looking at this statistic, it is really hard to believe that this is the Chinese team and the Brazilian team. ball possession rate...but this is true, so in fact we were not too weak against Brazil. Don't blindly make up the myth of the 'football kingdom'. In fact, we were evenly matched with them. In the second half, the boys of the Chinese team did not want Be impatient, keep the faith, hold on, I believe, nothing is impossible!”

He Ping looked ahead to the second half based on the technical statistics of the first half.

...The Chinese team only had four shots in the first half, and the Brazilian team had as many as ten. The Chinese team only had two shots on target. The Brazilian team was three times as many as the Chinese team... Marcel Ley Husband was also analyzing the technical statistics of both sides in the first half. It seems that although Brazil lost a little bit of possession,

But the offense is more threatening. Don't forget, two of the Chinese team's four shots hit the goal frame, with a 50% accuracy rate. Two shots within the goal frame will result in a goal, with a success rate of 50%. This is very efficient. In fact, the Chinese team's tactics do not require them to surpass their opponents in the number of shots, and it is impossible for them to surpass Brazil in this regard. Defensive counterattack is originally about success rate, and in this regard, the Chinese team did well in the first half.

Both sides did not make any personnel adjustments during the halftime break. There are still forty-five minutes left for the Brazilian team. The boys must try their best and perform to their best level. After forty-five minutes, the Brazilian team will Bring us victory! The Brazilian commentator loudly encouraged the Brazilian players in the commentary box, although they couldn't hear anything at all...

After the second half of the game started, the Chinese team took the lead in attacking.

He Ying took the ball on the right wing and wanted to seek cooperation with Zhou Yi. David Ruiz was knocked to the ground by being forced up. Referee Weber decisively blew the whistle, giving the Chinese team a free pass on the right side of the frontcourt. ball.

Zhou Yi ran over to prepare to take the free kick. When he saw Zhou Yi, boos immediately broke out in the stands.

This was also the case in the first half of this game. As long as Zhou Yi got the ball, boos were everywhere. Except for the second after he shot, the Brazilian fans were slightly quiet due to an accident. At other times, the boos were as if they were Zhou Yi's appearance BGM. As long as Zhou Yi showed up, they would sound immediately.

Zhou Yi turned a blind eye to such boos. He placed the football and players from both sides crowded on the line of the penalty area.

Then he kicked the football into the penalty area.

Cesar struck first and jumped up to hit Zhou Yi's lob.

The football was picked up by Yang Hao and then passed back to defender Rong Hao.

Zhou Yi immediately ran to Rong Hao to ask for the ball. Rong Hao passed the football to him. Zhou Yi caught the ball, turned around, quickly kicked off, and passed the football into the penalty area again.

This time the Brazilian players happened to be pressing forward and there was space behind them.

Gao Lin, on the other hand, cleverly made a reverse cut and ran back, just at the landing point of Zhou Yi's pass!

Opportunity for the Chinese team!

However, Cesar was very focused on defending this ball. He quickly gave up the goal and then jumped high. Before Gao Lin could get the ball, he knocked the football out with one fist!

The Chinese team's offense failed.

Then the Brazilian team immediately switched from defense to offense and launched an attack, while the Chinese team retreated across the board.

When the Brazilian team's counterattack hit the 30-meter area of ​​the Chinese team, Marcelo passed the football across the ball and looked like he was going to pass the football to Neymar. This attracted Yang Muge's great attention, and he immediately followed it.

But just when the football reached Neymar's feet, he didn't catch the ball, but deliberately missed it!

The football just passed between his legs, catching Yang Muge off guard.

Neymar! Beautiful leak!

Next, behind Neymar, Fernandinho, who inserted in from behind, received the ball, then swung his foot outside the penalty area and shot!

Sun Pan made a save immediately, but he did not touch the football because Fernandinho's shot missed the goal...

Well done! Although there was no goal, as long as the Brazilian team continues to play like this, it will definitely score! The Brazilian commentator continued to give confidence to the Brazilian audience in front of the TV.

In fact, in a sense, he was right...

In the fifty-fifth minute, the Brazilian team scored a goal.

But before Hulk shot, his raised arm hit the football, which helped him stop the football, shortened his adjustment time, and laid a good contact for his subsequent shot.

So the moment he handed the ball, the Chinese players around him all raised their arms to signal Hulk to hand the ball.

The referee knew exactly what was going on, and although the ball eventually flew into the Chinese team's goal, he still blew the whistle and blew the ball out.

The Brazilian fans in the stands first burst into cheers, but soon, when they discovered that the referee's gesture was not valid for a goal, the cheers immediately changed to boos - they were dissatisfied with this penalty.

Also dissatisfied are Hulk and Scolari.

Hulk slapped him on the shoulder, indicating that the football was played here, not on the arm. A hit on the shoulder is not handball, it is completely different from a hit on the arm.

Scolari was also furious about this penalty off the court, believing that Weber once again succumbed to the pressure brought by Zhou Yi's remarks before the start of the game and made a penalty that favored the Chinese team at a critical moment.

However, the slow-motion multi-angle replay of the TV broadcast clearly told everyone that the ball did hit Hulk's arm, not his shoulder.

This ball is undoubtedly a handball by Hulk, there is no problem.

There is no problem with Weber's penalty. Hulk did have a handball first, otherwise how could he get such an easy shot? Stop complaining, be careful Weber gives you a yellow card... He Ping joked.

When the game has been going on for an hour, there are still thirty minutes before the end of the game, but the score is still 1:1, and nothing has changed.

The Brazilian team's offensive was very fierce, but under the leadership of Zhou Yi, the Chinese team's counterattack was also impressive.

Because of the fear of the Chinese team's counterattack, the Brazilian team has not been able to try its best in offense. After all, the two full-backs of the Brazilian team, whether Alves or Marcelo, are better at offense than defense. If they go up to attack, they may not be able to come back, which is a huge blow to the team's defense. Hidden danger.

As for the Chinese team's counterattack, although players like Yan Min and He Ying are in the limelight, where does it come from in the final analysis?

Zhouyi.

Zhou Yi is the core of the Chinese team, and his importance to this team is self-evident.

But it is not easy for the Brazilian team to defend Zhou Yi.

Although Scolari specifically arranged for Fernandinho to start and Paulinho, who performed poorly, as a substitute, Fernandinho still struggled to defend Zhou Yi alone during the game.

The two had competed in the Champions League group stage. Fernandinho was also on the court, but he failed to guard Zhou Yi, allowing Zhou Yi to lead Dortmund to win the game.

This time, it's even worse.

Because Zhou Yi is stronger than two years ago, his body has become more flexible, his skills at his feet are more skillful, his handling of the ball is more precise, and his escape is more efficient.

When Zhou Yi got the ball, Fernandinho rushed up from behind and wanted to stick to Zhou Yi, but Zhou Yi quickly passed the ball out, then turned around and ran. Fernandinho missed and he took advantage of the situation. He pounced on Yang Muge who was holding the ball just in front of him. As a result, Yang Muge passed the ball to Zhou Yi. Zhou Yi was unmarked and left him behind...

Once again, when he encountered a situation like this, he turned around and chased Zhou Yi instead of caring about Yang Muge who was holding the ball. As a result, Yang Muge walked forward with the football, chasing his butt, making him look like a deserter being chased...

He always gets into troubles like this and can't get out of them.

He worked hard on defense, but was of little use to Zhou Yi.

In the confrontation with Zhou Yi, he seemed to have been playing the role of a loser.

Until the 60th minute, Fernandinho couldn't bear the fact that he always lost to Zhou Yi in the confrontation.

When he pounced on Zhou Yi who had the ball for the Nth time, Zhou Yi turned his back to him and first turned to the left. Fernandinho thought that Zhou Yi was going to turn around and break through, so he also turned sideways. As a result, Zhou Yi immediately turned in the completely opposite direction, pushing the football behind him with the outside of his right foot, and was about to break through Fernandinho.

This time, Manchester City's midfielder couldn't bear it any longer. He swept his right foot from behind and directly touched Zhou Yi's right leg after picking up the ball. So Zhou Yi did not complete his turn, but fell to the ground.
