Chapter 10 Do Your Best
When He Ying fell in the penalty area, the Chinese fans in the stands were already cheering. They thought from the bottom of their hearts that this was a penalty kick, without a doubt.
Meanwhile, Chilean fans in the stands booed - they reflexively believed that He Ying was a fake fall.
But what the fans think is not important, what is important is how the referee thinks.
Douai whistled and paused the game, and ran to the penalty area at the same time, then raised his arm and pointed to the penalty spot.
This is a standard penalty!
Judging from the slow-motion replay from multiple angles, Gutierrez's foul was undoubtedly a problem. He did tackle He Ying's foot. Although he definitely didn't mean it. He originally wanted to tackle it, but He Ying was faster than him and took the lead and drove away the football. He couldn't hold back and could only kick He Ying down.
When Gutierrez made a foul, the referee was in a very good position, and there was no obstruction in front of him. He saw the whole process of Gutierrez's foul.
So he made a penalty.
Of course, it is impossible for Chilean players to accept this result just like this. Whether they have any reason or not, they will have to protest around the referee.
But this is useless. After talking for a long time, the penalty result cannot be changed.
In addition, Gutierrez was also given a yellow card by referee Due for this tackle from the diagonal back.
"Gutierrez was replaced for five minutes and got a yellow card and gave the Chinese team a penalty kick... Sang Pauli didn't know if he would regret his substitution..." Duan Xin teased.
The Chinese team won the penalty kick and the equalization score was in sight, so he was in much better mood.
When Gutierrez fouled and gave the Chinese team a penalty kick, the TV broadcast also took time to give Vidal, who had been substituted, a close-up shot to see his performance.
Vidal spread his hands open, looking helpless.
Sang Baoli was complaining to the fourth official, and he insisted that He Ying must have fallen.

The referee Due drove all unrelated personnel out of the penalty area. In the penalty area, only Chilean goalkeepers Bravo and He Ying are left.
He Ying will take the penalty kick in person.
If he can score, he will score twice.
This has created a new history - he is not only the first Chinese men's football player to score goals in the World Cup, but also the first Chinese men's football player to score twice in the World Cup. He is also the Chinese men's football player to score the most goals in the World Cup...
This is the reason why a low foundation is good, and you can set records casually.
"He Ying is coming to take the penalty kick he created..." Duan Xin's voice became much smaller, as if she was afraid of disturbing He Ying.
Chinese fans held their breath and stared at Chile's goal.
Chilean fans kept making noises, wanting to interfere with He Ying. Fortunately, both sides fought in the second half, and the Chilean goal happened to be under the stands where Chinese fans gathered, so there would be no situation where a large number of fans waved their arms to interfere with He Ying.
Many Chinese fans here put their hands together and closed their eyes and dared not look.
After seeing that both players were withdrawing from the penalty area, goalkeepers Bravo and He Ying were also ready, the referee blew the whistle in his mouth.
The whistle sounded.
He Ying took a deep breath and started running.
With his actions, both the Chinese fans at the scene and in front of the TV also held their breath.
He Ying's running assist was not long. In just two steps, he ran to the football, then supported his body with his left foot, swung his right foot, and kicked the football!
A bang!
The football flew to the upper right corner of the goal!
Goalkeeper Bravo judged the right direction, but the height he saved was not enough and he did not touch the football!
At this time, Chilean fans were praying that the football would eventually fly off the crossbar, but did not make them do what they wanted.
The football that He Ying played out flew steadily into the goal from the bottom of the crossbar!
"The ball is in!!! 2:2! The Chinese team equalized the score!" Duan Xin raised his arms and shouted. "He Ying calmly hit the corner and kicked the ball steadily! Although Bravo judged the right direction, He Ying's shot was too tricky and he couldn't save!"
"I'm really good at art and brave..." Zhang Lu sighed from the side. "Many players will choose to play the ball on the ground, which is safe, but He Ying shot in the upper corner... With a little more force, the ball may fly out... The young people today are really amazing!"
※※※
He Ying was very excited after scoring the goal. After all, he scored twice. This time he did not run to the stands where Chinese fans gathered. Although it was right in front of him, he turned around and ran to the Chinese team's bench, with his teammates following behind him.
Then he plunged into the crowd in front of the Chinese team's bench and hugged Zhou Yi.
"This ball is for you, Zhou Yi!" He Ying shouted excitedly in his ear.
"Thank you!" Zhou Yi patted He Ying's back hard.
Others came up and drowned the two of them.
"He Ying gave Zhou Yi a hug..." Duan Xin choked up when she said this. "This is a united group, a united team..."

The Chinese fans in the stands were cheering. Many of them came to Brazil from China to Brazil. Not every fan who came to Brazil to cheer for the Chinese team was rich and there was no pressure to come to Brazil to watch the game.
Many people are actually ordinary working class. They are all fanatical Chinese fans and have paid a huge price to come to Brazil to watch football. These costs may include losing work or tensions in relationships with their families.
But they are still coming.
To them, Chinese football is their belief.
Today, after disappointing them again and again, Chinese football finally made them proud.
On the World Cup, the highest stage in the world football world, the Chinese team chased two goals in a row!
This is a tenacious and united Chinese team, which is very different from the Chinese team they remember. There is no faction or mountain in the team, only one vibrant young man after another.
Although they did not have Zhou Yi, they were a little worried.
But now the performance of the Chinese team has made their hearts fall into their stomachs again.
Without Zhou Yi, the strength of the Chinese team will indeed be affected, but as long as this team is united, fans will dare to place more hope on them.
Being able to see these two goals today is worth the ticket price for Chinese fans who came to Brazil to watch the game after paying a huge price.
They cheered and vented their inner emotions.
Except in 2002, they are the most enthusiastic spectators on the planet every World Cup, turning an event that has nothing to do with them into a domestic event.
And this time, it really has something to do with them.
Their passion for football has a strong emotional support in this World Cup.

After the Chinese team finished their celebration, the game continued.
The Chilean team, who had just equalized the score, was a little confused. They never thought that they had scored two goals in the thirteen minutes of the game, but this game did not enter their rhythm. Instead, the Chinese team chased two in a row, tied the score...
This trance made Chile almost completely suppressed by the Chinese team during the game.
Two minutes after the Chinese team scored, Zheng Zhi shot from the right side of the penalty area and the football missed.
In the 69th minute, Zhang Linpeng made a 45-degree cross from the right, and He Ying grabbed the point in front of the goal again, but his header was slightly higher.
"The Chinese team is obviously speeding up. They want to use the momentum of just equalizing the score to score another goal. After all, if they want to qualify from this group, they must defeat Chile in the first game!"
But unfortunately, the acceleration of the Chinese team did not last long because there were problems with their physical fitness.
This game was the first game of the Chinese team in this World Cup. At the beginning, the whole team was nervous and scored two goals in a row. In the following game, the Chinese team was trying their best to catch up. After finally tying, the physical energy was almost exhausted.
This game has a completely different pace than usual games, and the players consume faster physical energy.
Of course, the Chinese team consumed a lot of physical fitness, and the Chilean team was not much better.
When the game reached the 75th minute, the physical fitness of both teams declined severely, and the pass and receiving mistakes began to increase. Yang Hao, who had excellent physical fitness in the national team, even had cramps...
Lippi then replaced Yang Hao with Zhao Xuyang.
In the 83rd minute, Sanchez got a good chance, but his long shot outside the penalty area flew into the stands directly.
After the shot, Sanchez supported his knees with both hands and possessed himself and gasped.
He was very tired, too.
Because Vidal was in a sluggish state, Chile's offensive was basically driven by him in this game. He kept running and consumed a lot of physical energy.
The development of the game now makes him a little depressed. He clearly led two goals, but now it has become a draw, and the three-pointer he got has become one point. He tried hard to get the three-pointer back, but he got a anti-fire gun...
In fact, the Chinese team has the same idea as Sanchez, and they also want to win this game.
It is easier to score three points in Chile than to score three points in the Netherlands and Spain?
But the Chinese team is now "willing to kill the thief but unable to turn the world back."
Although I really want to win, I used to consume too much physical fitness and lacked real organizers, so I didn’t know how to exert force when I needed to exert force at the last moment.
Lippi’s replacement tactics are actually quite successful, but they also depend on the situation. They can be used like this in most games. When you need to go all out, it is inevitable that there are some methods that are single and lack of changes in such a big way...
At this time, everyone misses Zhou Yi very much.
