Champion’s Heart

Sun Pan was eventually sent off, but the rules required that someone must guard the goal, so the Chinese team had to replace a player on the field to let substitute goalkeeper Zengcheng come on.

So Gao Lin, who originally played, only played for ten minutes and ended up feeling depressed.

But the Chinese team's losses did not stop there. The team's head coach Lippi was also sent to the stands by the referee because of his overly excited protest.

Now the Chinese team is missing one person on the court, the most important referee is missing from the coaching bench beside the court, and a penalty kick was awarded...

The hearts of many Chinese fans suddenly sank to the bottom.

Then Mark Wagner personally took the penalty kick and kicked the penalty into the goal. The Chinese team fell behind 0:1.

This goal loss and the previous conflict completely disrupted the emotions of the Chinese team players. When the game restarted, many people were unable to concentrate on the game.

The German team seized this opportunity and scored two goals in two minutes in the 23rd and 24th minutes.

The score was rewritten to 3:o!

In the 26th minute, the German team scored another goal, 4: o!

Liu Jianhong was silent in the commentary box, and the Chinese team fans in front of the TV were also silent.

The Germans on the field were celebrating their fourth goal. Not far away, the Chinese players lowered their heads.

Although the game only started for twenty-six minutes, in the eyes of many people, the Chinese team has been publicly sentenced to death. They are finished. This semi-final is over, and the German team has become a team that has entered the final...

After taking a four-goal lead,

The German team's offensive rhythm finally slowed down, and perhaps they felt that this was enough for them to win.

Although the pace has slowed down, the situation on the field is still firmly under their control.

Until the end of the first half, the score did not change again, 4:0, and the German team took the lead.

I know the situation is very difficult, but we still hope that the boys of the Chinese team will not give up easily. The game is not over yet, even if we are behind by four goals... Liu Jianhong said weakly. He did not believe these words himself. He was behind. Four goals is really too difficult, and the Chinese team is missing one person, and the head coach cannot give instructions on the spot.

The TV broadcast showed a circle of shots to every Chinese player who was off the field. Every Chinese player who appeared on the screen lowered his head and walked quickly into the tunnel. Behind them were the excited singing and shouting of German fans.

When the Chinese team players entered the locker room, Sun Pan was there. He had recovered from the anger of being sent off, but his mood was not good either. After all, he saw his ball in the locker room. The team was beaten by their opponents and scored four goals in a row.

He wanted to apologize to his teammates for his mistake, but Zhou Yi stopped him: This is not your fault, Panpan, you can only choose to foul on that ball.

Sun Pan opened his mouth and seemed to want to say something more, but he was interrupted by Zhou Yi's gesture: Okay, no need to say any more. I think everyone knows what the current situation is like without me saying it. Now that I think about it, It’s really a bit ironic. Yesterday we had a special meeting to unify our thoughts and vote for him... but now...

Hearing what Zhou Yi said, everyone in the locker room became even more depressed.

But Zhou Yi's voice rose up: But this is not the reason for us to give up. I know that there are many difficulties in front of us. Just taking any of these difficulties is enough for others to lose the game with peace of mind. But that It’s others, not us. Being four goals behind is nothing, really, it’s nothing. I’m not saying this just to be casual. Guys, who among you has experienced despair?”

His rhetorical question made everyone in the locker room stunned for a moment. Then Yang Muge suddenly raised his head and opened his mouth as if he wanted to speak, but in the end he remained silent.

I've been there, you guys. I've been in despair, more than once. I've been in games where four goals were scored in the first half, I really have been. When I was at Dortmund, I was the first For the first time in the Champions League, we were defeated by Inter Milan in the group stage away from home and scored four goals in just 45 minutes...

Now it was not just Yang Muge, but Sun Pan, Guo Nu and He Ying all raised their heads and looked at Zhou Yi.

They all remembered that game. At that time, they were watching the game live in front of the TV and discussing it in the group. Even though they were not on the court, they could also feel the suffocating despair.

But in the end, we tied with them 4:4, at their home court! Zhou Yi said. What does it mean to be four goals behind? As long as all of us don't give up, we can create miracles! Football is round, friends, and there is no rule stipulated by anyone. When we are four goals behind at half-time, we have to go ahead. Surrender. What the final result will be depends only on our subsequent efforts and not on the score in the first half.

I don't plan to surrender now. I have to continue to work hard. I don't want to give in early. I will fight until the last minute, and I firmly believe that we can equalize the score!

Yang Muge raised his hand: I will not give up, I have also experienced despair.

He Ying also raised his hand: I will not surrender, I will fight until the last moment.

Guo Nu raised his hands and his face turned red: I, I, I...

Zhou Yi waved his hand at him: Okay, Lao Guo, we all know what you mean, you don't need to say anything.

But Guo Nu used a word-for-word approach and finished the sentence tenaciously: I! Nor! No! Will! Give up! Give up!

Sun Pan raised his hand: I'm here to cheer you on!

Zheng Zhi raised his arms: Now we have nothing to worry about. In this case, there is only one way left, and that is to fight them!

Fight!!

There was a huge roar in the locker room.

Lippi stood outside the locker room, and his translator Wen Shudang stood next to him. Originally, they planned to open the door and enter the locker room.

But listening to the shouts that kept coming from inside, Lippi didn't do that.

Wait a moment... he said to his translator. Don't go in now and disturb them.

Although he couldn't understand Chinese, he could still feel from the momentum that the players were encouraging each other in the locker room.

“I had already prepared words to comfort and encourage them, but now it seems that I don’t need to say that,” he said with a smile. Then let me return to the essence of coaching and contribute to them tactically...

After the noise in the locker room became quieter, Lippi opened the door to the locker room.

He looked at a room full of excited Chinese team players and raised his hand to say hello to them: Boys, I'm glad to see you looking so high-spirited. First I want to apologize to you for my bad behavior during the game. I apologize impulsively... But now, let us put aside what has happened and focus on the game. There are still forty-five minutes. From now on, please regard these forty-five minutes as yours. It’s the World Cup final... If we want to fight back in the second half, we must score as soon as possible...

The atmosphere in the dressing room of the German national team seemed relaxed.

Faced with such a huge score advantage, head coach Loew couldn't face the players with a straight face.

The German team played very well in the first half. In the second half, the Chinese team will not only continue to be short of players, but they also do not have a head coach to direct them from the sidelines. Can't a four-goal lead still help the German team win the game?

Mark sat in his seat and looked at his excited teammates in the locker room.

Leading by four goals at halftime, the opponent still had one less player and one less head coach. It was a great situation and it was normal for everyone to be happy, because it meant that they were almost half way into the World Cup finals.

But for some reason, Mark just felt that this situation was wrong and shouldn't be like this.

He searched around and found his Dortmund teammates Hummels, Grosskreutz, and Durm.

Then he walked up to them.

I said... I'm always worried that we are happy too soon. Mark whispered.

What's there to worry about? We're four goals ahead! Durm didn't understand where Mark's worry came from.

We are not only ahead in terms of score, but we are also ahead in terms of numbers! I know Zhou Yi will be very sad if he loses the game. When he returns to Dortmund, I will ask him to go to the nightclub to relax and unwind, as compensation, ha! Roskreutz was very happy at the thought of being able to participate in the World Cup finals with the team.

Mark was still very worried when he saw his teammates so relaxed, so he said: I think we should be more careful in the second half. After all, it was not Zhou Yi who was sent off... Have you all forgotten that we have also had a problem in the club? Four goals behind at halftime? But in the end we came back 4:4, and the person who directed that game was Zhou Yi!

Hummels patted Mark on the shoulder: I understand your worries, Mark. But the Chinese team is not Dortmund, and I know the game you are talking about is our group stage match against Inter Milan in the Champions League. But that We don’t have fewer players than Inter Milan in every game.”

He seemed to convince Mark, who stopped talking.

But in fact, the indescribable worry in Mark's heart has not disappeared. When he thinks of Zhou Yi, and based on his understanding of his good friend, Mark cannot celebrate as safely as his teammates.

He hoped that this time he was worrying too much.

But when the second half of the game started, Mark felt that he might be right.

Because the Chinese team in front of us is completely different from the Chinese team that was completely beaten into the dirt in the first half. There are big changes!

In the 53rd minute, less than ten minutes into the second half, Yang Muge stole the ball in the midfield and cut off the ball from Ozil's feet. Then he passed the football to Zhou Yi. Zhou Yi immediately passed the ball directly to the ball. Yan Min switched to the right side.

Yan Min made a pass from the right side after a breakthrough.

He delivered a very precise cross.

The football flew past the penalty spot.

He Ying made a diagonal run, then jumped up high, trying to head the ball towards the goal, but due to the personal interference of Boateng, he did not hit the football, and the football fell towards the penalty spot.

Just when the fans of the Chinese team were feeling sorry for why He Ying was on top, Zhou Yi, who had moved forward after passing the ball, rushed towards him. Facing the flying football, he swung his right foot!

Bang!

The instep of his right foot hit the football firmly!

The football flew toward the goal like a cannonball!

Although Neuer made a sideways save and touched the football, Zhou Yi's hit was sudden and powerful. After Neuer hit the football, the football changed its line and still plunged into the goal. !

At that moment, the air in Mineiro Stadium seemed to freeze, and the Chinese fans in front of the TV jumped to their feet.

Liu Jianhong was stunned and shouted hysterically: The ball is in, it's in, it's in, it's in, it's in!!!! The ball is in! Zhou Yi got a goal back for the Chinese team! Now we are only behind. Three goals! And the second half has just begun! There is still a chance!!

After scoring the goal, Zhou Yi did not celebrate. Instead, he rushed towards the goal and wanted to get the ball, but He Ying had already completed the job before him. Seeing this, Zhou Yi turned around and ran back, and called other teammates to go back and prepare to continue the game.

At the beginning of the second half, the Chinese team got a goal back, and hope was burning in their hearts again.

Mark looked at the back of Zhou Yi greeting his teammates, and couldn't help but think of the Champions League group match.

He turned to look at his teammate Hummels. When Zhou Yi shot, Hummels was actually not far from Zhou Yi, but he didn't react at all and could only watch Zhou Yi complete the shot.

The current Hummels even showed a slightly frightened expression, completely different from the Hummels he saw in the locker room.

Although the German team is still ahead by three goals, Mark's biggest worry may have begun to happen...
