Chapter 9 The Unity of the Collective

After the second half of the game began, the Chinese team was full of fighting spirit.

In the 50th minute, Yan Min made another cross from the right, and Gao Lin headed the ball in front of the goal to score!

However, the ball was judged to be offside first...

"Gao Lin headed the ball! The ball is scored! Good goal!!! The Chinese team equalized the score!!" commentator Duan Xin was very excited and couldn't wait to confirm it.

There were also huge cheers at the scene.

But soon everyone noticed that something was wrong. After scoring the goal, the referee did not point to the center circle, but ran to the place where Gao Lin headed the ball and raised his arm - this was an offside gesture.

"Ah? Offside?" Duan Xin was very surprised.

Gao Lin, who was running to celebrate, turned around and found that his goal had been blown out, and he also waved his fist in dissatisfaction.

However, judging from the subsequent slow-motion replay, when Yan Min made a cross, Gao Lin was indeed offside...

There is no problem with this penalty.

"Oh... It's a pity." Duan Xin could only shake her head and sigh after watching the replay. "It's indeed offside..."

"It doesn't matter. Although it's offside, the Chinese team is in good shape after the start of the second half. As long as I continue to play like this, I believe the goal will come." Zhang Lu said from the side.

※※※

Zhang Lu is right. Although the Chinese team's goal is not counted for offside, the morale of Chinese players was not affected. Later, they continued to attack Chile's goal. Yan Min played a very important role in this, and his dribbling breakthrough made it difficult for Chilean players to defend.

The Chilean commentator even gave Yan Min a nickname, calling him "Robben of China". Because he is fast and good at changing directions, he can cut in and shoot in the goal, and can also cross from the wing. His technical characteristics are somewhat similar to those of Robben. However, Yan Min's hair is more than Robben...

Just three minutes after Gao Lin scored an offside goal, in the 53rd minute, He Ying pulled to the side to make a cross. Defensive midfielder Yang Muge suddenly inserted into the penalty area. After receiving He Ying's pass in the middle, he took a strong shot!

The football rolled against the turf and towards the near corner of the goal!

"The opportunity for the Chinese team--!"

Amid Duan Xin's roar, Chilean goalkeeper Bravo fell to the ground to save the ball, and used his hand to drive out the football, and the rescue was successful!

At the Pantanal Arena, the long breath of Chilean fans and the exclamations of Chinese fans were heard.

Then in the 57th minute, Chile tried to launch an attack, but when Sanchez dribbled the ball in the middle circle, he encountered Yang Muge's frontal interception. He wanted to force a breakthrough, but Yang Muge stabbed the football behind him. At the same time, he couldn't stop the car and hit Yang Muge. The two of them fell to the ground at the same time, but the football had been received by He Ying, who was retreating.

He dribbled the ball into Chile's penalty area.

Chinese fans cheered loudly in the stands and cheered for him.

Facing the defense of two Chilean defenders, He Ying didn't dribble very quickly at the beginning. When he was about to lead to the penalty area line, full-back Zhang Linpeng chased him from behind and then turned into the middle inward.

He Ying suddenly accelerated and wanted to lead the football to the bottom line, which led to the Chilean defender pressing the bottom line. In this way, Zhang Linpeng was in an open position.

He Ying immediately knocked the football over with his heel!

"A wonderful pass from the heel! Good ball!"

Zhang Linpeng, who got the perfect opportunity, swung his right leg round and shot vigorously!

But the football shot high and flew out of the bottom line...

"Oh-ah!" This time, Zhang Lu couldn't help but sigh. "Zhang Linpeng wants to exert force in this ball..."

Zhang Linpeng, who was ejaculated, covered his mouth with both hands, looking very regretful and annoyed.

Zhou Yi, who was on the sidelines, slapped hard and shouted to his teammates on the field: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter! Come again!"

He didn't care whether his teammates could hear his voice. At this time, he looked like a coach...

※※※

Of course, the Chilean team was not completely passively beaten.

The Chinese team's strong attack means that the Chilean team has a chance to counterattack.

In the 60th minute, Chile organized an attack at the forefront of the Chinese penalty area, and Sanchez suddenly sent a diagonal pass.

The football passed through the Chinese team's defense line diagonally and came behind them. On the left side of the penalty area, Vargas cleverly stepped forward and received the ball behind the Chinese team's defense line!

Sun Pan abandoned the goal when Sanchez passed the ball and rushed towards Vargas.

Vargas no longer had the chance to adjust his shot, so he could only stab him with instinct!

The ball was blocked by Sun Pan's feet, but it still rushed over tenaciously and rolled towards the goal...

"Look at this ball--" Duan Xin screamed in horror. If the ball is scored again, the Chinese team will be two goals behind again, and the game will be difficult. This will definitely be a heavier blow to the morale of the Chinese team!

Just after the football was about to roll into the goal, Guo Nu came to the ball, fell to the ground and turned around and tackled the ball at the same time, kicking the football out of the goal line!

"Guo Nu--!" Duan Xin yelled as if Guo Nu had scored a goal. "At the critical moment, Guo Nu kicked the football out! This goal was not scored!"

But Chilean players made sense. They protested to the referee, believing that the ball had already entered when Guo Nu cleared the ball.

However, this protest did not affect the referee's judgment, because this World Cup also introduced goal line technology, and FIFA finally kept up with the trend...

After the goal line technology back defense, you can clearly see that when Guo Nu cleared the ball, the football was indeed pressed on the line, but it was only about one-fifth of the line, and the other four-fifths were still outside. According to FIFA rules, the football as a whole must cross the goal line before it can be counted. Even if there is a trace of projection on the goal line, it cannot be counted.

Not to mention that it is so obvious that it is not allowed to enter.

So it's useless to protest in Chile, the ball just didn't score.

After Sun Pan got up, he saw Guo Nu clearing the football from the goal line. This time he did not "mock" him, but hugged him hard to show his gratitude.

"It was really touching to see the moment when Sun Pan hugged Guo Nu..." Later, a netizen reviewed the game on the Internet and impressed him. "Everyone is working hard, everyone is working hard. The way this team is united and striving towards the same goal is moving. I know that the future of this team will be limitless!"

"Chile has lost the perfect opportunity to expand its lead..." While China was cheering, the Chilean TV commentator was very regretful. He kept shaking his head in the commentary seat. "After being bombarded by the Chinese team, we had the opportunity to end this embarrassment and embarrassment... Now the suspense will continue. We only lead one ball, and this is very, very dangerous!"

Sang Baoli obviously knew this, so he immediately made a substitution after the ball failed to score.

He replaced Vidal with Felipe Gutierrez.

After Vidal was replaced, he angrily threw the sweat on the ground with a towel. I don’t know if he was dissatisfied with Sang Pauli’s replacement in advance, or his own performance in this game.

His performance in this game is indeed lackluster. As Juventus' main midfielder, Vidal has to bear more responsibilities in the national team. He is the core of Chile's midfielder and can attack and defend well. If a Vidal who is in excellent form and Sanchez adds Sanchez, it will definitely make the Chinese team even more embarrassed.

But before the World Cup, Vidal suffered an injury. Because of the meniscus on his right knee, he underwent surgical surgery on May 7. At that time, everyone thought that Vidal would definitely miss the World Cup when he chose to undergo surgery only more than a month before the World Cup opening. Unexpectedly, Vidal recovered so quickly. He had already started ball training in early June. A few days later, in a friendly match against Northern Ireland, he also came on as a substitute and participated in Chile's first goal.

Chilean fans were excited about this at that time.

But some people are worried that Bidal is so anxious to come back. The well-known Chilean newspaper Mercury interviewed Kugat, who had the surgery for Vidal, and the latter's answer was indeed not optimistic: "If you let Vidal participate in the competition before July 7 - less than two months after he had the surgery - then his injury is likely to recur."

But Vidal was very confident and believed that he could definitely participate in the first group stage of the World Cup against the Chinese team.

Now it seems that he has caught up, but the price he paid is like sleepwalking, and he has no contribution to the team's offense and defense. This fully shows that his knees are not as good as he said, and injuries and surgery have affected his performance.

In the 65th minute, Chile got a chance to get a corner kick.

Sanchez took the corner kick but did not form an attack. The football was directly punched out by Sun Pan and hit outside the penalty area.

Yang Muge passed the football to Zheng Zhi. Before the opponent forced him to come up, Zheng Zhi passed the football to the group photo next to him.

When He Ying received the ball, there was a large space in front of him and no one was disturbed by him. He immediately dribbled the football five or six meters away and then started to accelerate.

In addition to Yan Min, the Chinese team is also a fast horse.

Chilean player Felipe Gutierrez, who had just been replaced, also accelerated to stop He Ying.

But in the competition of speed, he was at a disadvantage.

When he was about to post He Ying, He Ying waded the football again and then accelerated to get rid of it. Gutierrez was afraid of a foul and raised his hands to show his innocence, but his feet were in a mess. After staggering for a few steps, he could only look at He Ying in the dust.

"The Chinese team's counterattack! He Ying! Beautiful! He broke through Gutierrez's defense with speed!"

After throwing away Gutierrez, He Ying dribbled the ball and headed towards the middle.

At this time, there was only a Chilean central defender in front of him. At the same time, Yan Min stepped forward from the other side at high speed, maintaining the momentum of moving forward in line with him.

He Ying can either drive the ball by himself or pass the ball to Yan Min, which makes Chile very embarrassed when defending. They dare not all come up to pounce on He Ying, for fear of missing Yan Min.

This greatly relieved He Ying's pressure.

When He Ying dribbled the ball to the front of the penalty area line, he slowed down a little, then plucked the ball horizontally, making a stance to cut in the horizontal wheel.

This led to the Chilean central defender Medel blocking the middle, and He Ying's left foot knocked the ball from behind to the right!

At the same time, change direction and turn around!

Cut inside into the penalty area!

He Ying, who had just cut into the penalty area, used his right foot to push the football forward. At this time, Gutierrez, who chased back to the penalty area, also shoveled towards the football, but he was too late to touch the football, but kicked He Ying's foot...

He Ying was just shoveled into the penalty area by him...

"Hey? Hey!! Penalty! This is a penalty!!" Duan Xin was stunned for a moment at first, then quickly glanced at the referee and found that the referee Douai blew his whistle and ran into the penalty area. It is still unknown whether He Ying would be given a false fall or Gutierrez foul, but he can no longer wait.

Soon, the referee also made a penalty, and he raised his hand and pointed at the penalty spot!

It's a penalty!
