Chapter 741 Between Sadness and Joy

When Chinese fans felt disappointed and German fans felt the surprise of escaping death, Chinese team head coach Alihan had already stood on the sidelines of the court and applauded Yin Jun's performance.

Although Yin Jun's counterattack did not break through the German team's goal, the meaning behind it was more than that.

This is why he can set up a bus in front of the goal and fight defensively and counterattack to threaten the opponent's goal, because he has Yin Jun!

The omnipotent Yin Jun!

His super personal ability allows him to pose a threat to his opponent's goal or even score a goal without the support of his teammates!

After the initial disappointment, Yin Jun quickly recovered. Although this counterattack did not score a goal, it was undoubtedly a huge shock to their opponents of the German team in this game. Tell the Germans that although the Chinese team is not as strong as you, it is not without the power to fight back. Once you dare to push the whole line, you have to withstand the possibility of goal loss!

Since this is a game that determines third and fourth place in the World Cup, Yin Jun’s goal is to win third.

He didn't know whether every teammate of his team was consistent with his ideas. After all, even if he was the captain of the Chinese team, he could not force others to follow his own wishes. Fortunately, he was an attacker, so he could still show his will and determination on the court, which was to score goals.

Goals one by one can not only help the team reach the semi-finals, but also show everyone his firm determination to achieve his goals.

Then he doesn't need to use words to motivate his teammates. After seeing his performance, others will naturally follow him consciously.

There are many kinds of leaders, and Yin Jun feels that he will definitely not be the kind of leader who talks loudly in the future.

But if he leads the team with practical actions, he is very happy.

……………………

Yin Jun's counterattack did have a positive impact on the Chinese team. They played more confidently and actively in the next game; while the German team was shocked, and they no longer dared to push the attack on the entire line, which also reduced the pressure faced by the Chinese team a lot.

Until the end of the first half, the score was not rewritten anymore, and both sides entered the intermission with a score of 0:0.

"It's really surprising that facing the host German team, the Chinese team did not lose the edge on the scene and played back and forth with their opponents. I think everyone might have to change their point of view, that is, if the Chinese team can concentrate on investing in an event, they are still very competitive..." Huang Jianqiang said to the Chinese players leaving the field.

The stands of Gottlieb Delham Stadium were also filled with a relaxed atmosphere. Chinese fans took advantage of the intermission time to eat, drink, and go to the toilet. Everyone gathered together in groups to talk about the team's performance and prospects in this World Cup.

"Until now, I still can't believe that the Chinese team has actually entered the semi-finals and can compete for the third place with the German team!"

"Yes, thinking about the team's performance in the previous few weeks is like dreaming!"

"I wish I could beat Germany and win the third place!"

"Well, if you can't win the championship, you can get the third place..."

...

Everyone was looking forward to the scene of the team's third place in the World Cup, but just thinking about it, a happy smile appeared on their faces.

The fifteen-minute intermission time passed quickly with everyone's happy conversation and longing.

……………………

When the players of both sides appeared again, neither team made a substitution. But perhaps the Chinese players relaxed as much as the fans during the break, so that after the second half, before they could get into the state, the German team's offensive came up.

Unlike the Chinese team's unpreparedness, the German team was well prepared. Obviously, their head coach Klinsmann made many targeted adjustments during the halftime break.

In response to the intensive defense of the Chinese team, the German team did not blindly go to the wing, because the first half of the game proved that this kind of playing style of going to the wing and then passing to the middle was not effective.

Klose's header was very strong, but both of the Chinese team, whether it was Li Weifeng or Zheng Zhi, headers were very good. In addition, the protection of the double midfielder on the defense line, Klose's two fists were hard to match four hands, so it was difficult to get any decent opportunities. So at the beginning of the second half, the German team changed its style of play, increased the number of long shots, and at the same time, more cutting in the wings, instead of just simple and crude crossing.

This change really caught the Chinese team off guard, and the Chinese team itself was not in the form.

The second half was just two minutes into the beginning. In the 47th minute of the game, Schweiingsteiger took the ball on the wing and cut inside, and suddenly shot a long shot from the front of the penalty area.

Although Li Leilei made a save, he was unable to touch the ball. The football kept spinning, bypassing Li Leilei's fingers and heading straight to the far corner of the goal!

……………………

"Dangerous!" Accompanied by Huang Jianqiang's exclamation, the football hit the goal post and bounced out!

"Oh--!" The Chinese team fans in the stands exclaimed in horror.

Just as the Chinese team fans were about to drop their hanging hearts back, the bounced football hit Li Leilei's back, who had not yet landed, and rebounded again, this time flying towards the goal...

There was nothing else in the huge goal that could stop the goal from happening.

"TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORR!!!!!! Schweiingsteiger! He broke the deadlock for the German team!" the German commentator shouted excitedly.

Schweiingsteiger was stunned by the moment he didn't expect the ball to enter. When he saw the football hit the post, he raised his hands and was about to hold his head and regretted it. However, before he could hold his head, the football actually bounced into the goal again.

He was stunned for a moment, and his hands were hung above his head. After he realized, his hands were raised again, from regret to celebration.

This was his first goal in the World Cup, and it was of great significance!

His teammates flocked to him and drowned him.

The Chinese players inside and outside the penalty area were confused. Unexpectedly, they would concede the ball like this, and it was just two minutes before the second half. Many Chinese players were hit with such a huge impact before they even entered the game...

Head coach Alihan stared at the court with wide eyes, looking confused. Then he turned around and asked his assistant De Jong and said, "We really lost the ball?"

De Jong nodded regretfully.

"What a horror!" Alihan couldn't help but curse.
