Football: The immortal legend on the green field

The players of the National Youth Team hugged each other crazily in front of the Brazilian goal. They howled and cheered. A tie! Finally tied! Before the game, none of them could have imagined that this game would be so difficult. It took them a full 93 minutes to tie the score. It felt like they had escaped death.

Lu Jianjun sat down on the grass, he had a cramp. After running for such a long time, his leg had been exhausted, but he didn't expect that God would finally reward him for running so hard that he had a cramp. The violent rise and fall of his chest was not because of the pain in his legs, but because the pent-up anger in his heart was finally released.

Martinez stood in front of the goal in despair, looking at the football in the goal, and really wanted to slap himself twice! Damn it! We were just a little bit away from winning! It was all because of my incompetence and cowardice, but now my teammates have to play overtime. But everyone's physical strength... He smiled helplessly.

For fans around the world, this is a classic moment, but for the current Brazilian team, it is a very cruel goal. It not only makes everyone's previous efforts go to waste, but also requires everyone to use willpower to endure for another 30 minutes.

Alemão grabbed his hair in annoyance. He never expected that there would be a single mistake. The entire defensive system suddenly short-circuited, and all the players involved in the defense made more or less mistakes, creating a classic moment for the Chinese magician. The entire Brazilian team shamefully served as a background wall for this Chinese man, and seven people including the goalkeeper would forever be nailed to the pillar of shame.

"Shen Bin's goal allowed the Chinese team to equalize the score before the end of the game! In addition, many players on both sides suffered from cramps. The 30 minutes of overtime was not only a test of willpower, but also a test of physical fitness and technical tactics!"

Before the Brazilian team kicked off, Krauchen replaced Lu Jianjun who had cramps with Wan Houliang. Originally, he intended to use this last substitution in case a player was injured in overtime, but now it seems that it is not necessary.

After the whistle for the end of the 90-minute game, players from both teams fell directly onto the field to rest. Five minutes later they would stand up and continue fighting.

Gao Haiyang, Ali Han and Krauchen took advantage of the time when the players were resting and replenishing their energy to make the final instructions: "Don't be anxious, don't rush to attack now. There is no golden or silver goal system in overtime, and it must be played for a full 30 minutes. So you have to allocate your energy reasonably. If necessary, it can be delayed until a penalty kick! Defenders should handle the ball more decisively and try to give them as few free kicks as possible on both sides of the penalty area!" Ali Han used body language to express his meaning in a slightly exaggerated manner.

"Did everyone understand what Mr. Alihan and Coach Krauchen said, right? Remember this is your most important game, and no one should give up until the end! Okay, time's up! Get up! Go to the game!" Gao Haiyang waved his hands like he was driving ducks, asking the players to stand up and move around a little to avoid cramps.

Li Yan used a telescope to scan the faces of the national youth team players. "It's still the same expression. Even though they are obviously exhausted, their eyes are still very stubborn."

Except for the goalkeeper and Feng Xiaoting, Tan Wangsong and Zhang Fanlin, Shen Bin and Chen Tao are the two players with the best physical strength in the team in the frontcourt. The others basically just walk except for running when the ball comes to their side.

On the other hand, the Brazilian team, which has a lot of professional game experience, has much better physical strength, so in the first half of overtime, Brazil continued to suppress the Chinese team.

Feng Xiaoting kicked the opponent's pass with a long foot. As the first vice-captain, he no longer had the mood or energy to shout a few times to cheer himself and the team up. The pressure that the Brazilian team put on the Chinese team was not only physical, but also psychological.

My goal before the end of the regular game was not entirely due to my ability to ignore Brazil's six defenders on the entire back line, but rather my determination and the fact that all six Brazilian defenders made some mistakes. Now they have awakened and will not give me such an opportunity again.

If it happens again, Martinez and Baros will no longer care about the yellow card. They will tackle me down without hesitation and will never show mercy. It is possible that I will never be able to stand up again.

Most of the time, Shen Bin turned into a pure defensive midfielder like Makelele, while Bai Yuefeng retreated into the penalty area and became the third central defender.

Petro was still active, and he passed the ball to Paulinho's feet. Facing Shen Bin, Paulinho lightly scratched the football with his right foot, and then knocked the football forward with his left foot, forcing a breakthrough!

But Shen Bin had already made the corresponding action before he started. His body suddenly leaned forward and was just between him and the ball, separating him from the ball. Paulinho hit Shen Bin's back. The slight difference in physical fitness, coupled with the lack of psychological preparation, made him seem to hit a wall and fall on the ground on his back. He quickly got up and looked at the referee, but the referee didn't even look at him.

During the first fifteen minutes of the overtime, at the front of the Chinese team's penalty area, 45 meters away from the goal to the penalty area line, the area in the direction of the two penalty area lines has become the "Shen Bin area". No matter whether it is an individual breakthrough or team cooperation, as long as the Brazilian team sends the ball to this area, it will be destroyed or intercepted by Shen Bin in a very short time, and then a counterattack will be organized.

This phenomenon was first called out by Rijkaard, the commentator on Dutch TV II.

"It's hard to imagine. His personal attack has been witnessed by fans all over the world. That goal comparable to Maradona's will be forever engraved in the memory of fans. This is just the tip of the iceberg of his ability. In my opinion, his defensive ability far exceeds his offensive ability. He formed the "Shen Bin area" outside the penalty area. It sounds a little incredible, but he did appear. This is the best interpretation of his defensive ability."

"Since I started my career in football, I have only seen this ability in one person, and the one I remember most was Claude Makelele, who was sold to Chelsea because Real Madrid was unwilling to increase his salary and renew his contract due to the implementation of the superstar policy, which directly led to the team's midfield and backcourt defense falling a level in an instant."

"To this day, many Real Madrid fans still cannot get over the fact that Florentino was determined to let go of this absolute main player of the team in the summer of 2003."

"Shen Bin not only completely inherited Makelele's ability in the defensive midfielder position, but he can also deliver a precise long pass after stealing the ball. There is also a shadow of Baresi in this."

"In the development of football, no one has such comprehensive abilities as him. How can I put it? If there is anyone, it can only be our predecessor Neeskens. He is a stronger version of Neeskens plus a weaker version of Maradona. This is unbelievable."

In the 14th minute of extra time, Paulinho passed the ball from the center circle to the wing, Marcelo dribbled the ball along the wing, Hao Junmin stepped forward to intercept, and Marcelo changed direction and used his speed to pass Hao Junmin.

He just raised his head to observe the situation in the middle, but a white figure approached him. Shen Bin lowered his body, stretched out his left foot, and tackled the ball!

Marcelo's years of practice have formed muscle memory. He gently pushed the ball to the outside and avoided Shen Bin's tackle!

Shen Bin lay on the ground, twisted his body outwards following the momentum, and swept up with his right leg!

Marcelo obviously did not expect Shen Bin's two consecutive tackles with such an unconventional move. In a panic, he jumped up as if by reflex, and the football was swept out of the sideline by Shen Bin.

Huh! Shen Bin took a breath and got up from the ground. If it wasn't for the physical problem, he could definitely hook the ball with his right foot. The Brazilian team wouldn't even get a throw-in!

Shen Bin's move was also a microcosm of the Chinese team's performance in the first half of overtime. They were powerless many times in the first half of overtime and could only adopt destructive defense most of the time.

Fifteen minutes passed quickly, and the players from both teams did not rest, but switched sides to start the second half. However, the players walked very slowly, taking the time to rest. Now, not only the Chinese team, but also many Brazilian players have become somewhat exhausted.
