Chapter 7 Making History

Thirty-three minutes into the game, Chile launched an attack.

Because of Yang Muge and Yang Hao's sweep in the middle, the Chilean team did not attack through the middle this time, but directly went to the side.

They hit the football to the wing and then passed it in front of the goal. When they wanted to directly threaten the Chinese team's goal, this time, Guo Nu, who was not very tall, jumped up and beat everyone before him and hit the football. go out.

"Guo Nu made a header to clear the ball! This season he also got a lot of playing opportunities in Inter Milan and got full training. And playing in Serie A has also improved his ability to command and arrange the defense line in defense. Anyone can see Fans who have watched Guo Nu play in Inter Milan may not be too surprised by Guo Nu's header clearance, and may even think that this header clearance is too simple..."

"Well, although Guo Nu has not participated in the Champions League like his friends. This may make people don't know him well enough and underestimate him. But in fact, his performance in the Inter Milan defense is very stable and excellent. …”

The football Guo Nu pushed out fell outside the penalty area. Zheng Zhi caught the ball with his back to the attacking direction. He had no time to turn around and passed the football directly back to Yang Muge.

Yang Muge took the ball and passed it to Yan Min on the left.

Before the football could reach Yan Min's feet, Chile's Arangis rushed up and tried to intercept the ball before Yan Min could catch it.

Yan Min didn't catch the ball, but directly pushed the football forward, then twisted his body and passed by Arangis. With his excellent starting speed, he accelerated past Arangis and caught up with him. football.

"Beautiful! The ball has passed! Yan Min is very flexible! Arangis can't catch him at all!"

After the ball was passed and Arangis was thrown away, Yan Min did not pass the football immediately, but continued to rush forward with the ball.

His vigorous dribbling made the Chinese fans in the stands cheer.

Amid their cheers, Yan Min ran on the left side of the court.

Chile's right back Gonzalo Jara came up to defend Yan Min.

Yan Min didn't seem to see Hara at all. He moved the football forward and was about to speed up and force a breakthrough.

This is simply insulting to Hara - any offensive player does not slow down at all when facing his defense, but speeds up. That only shows that the offensive player does not take him seriously at all and thinks that speed is enough. Simple breakthrough.

Naturally, Hala was not to be outdone, and he immediately moved closer, intending to use his closeness to slow down Yan Min.

His strategy was successful. Yan Min, who was stuck behind him, did not simply break through Hara with his speed.

Yan Min, who was stuck, raised his left foot while running, trying to make a pass.

Of course, Hara would not let him pass the football so easily, so he squeezed in again.

But after Yan Min swung his left foot, instead of making a pass, he dunked the football back!

At the same time, he suddenly stopped and turned around, suddenly stopped suddenly while running at high speed, and then turned around again. It was effortless for Yan Min. This was his specialty. But not everyone can be as flexible as him.

Hala was still trying to squeeze away from Yan Min, so his center of gravity was unstable. When Yan Min made a sudden stop, he lost his balance and slid out...

Yan Min got rid of the defense, he immediately cut the football inside and took it towards the penalty area!

Chile did not expect that Hara would be dumped so easily by Yan Min, which completely disrupted their arrangement.

For a moment, one of the two central defenders in front of the goal pounced on Yan Min. At the same time, their midfielder Diaz also rushed back to guard Yan Min.

There was sudden chaos in Chile's penalty area.

Yan Min seized the chaos and sent the football out. He passed the football to the back of the goal.

There, He Ying rushed towards him at high speed, and then took advantage of this momentum to jump forward and reach the top!

His forehead was firmly pressed against the flying football!

There was no defensive player around him. They were either defending Yan Min or Gao Lin. Lack of preparedness for He Ying coming in from behind...

So He Ying made a comfortable summit push!

The football was pushed toward the goal!

At such a close distance, Chilean goalkeeper Bravo, who hurriedly retreated from the near corner to the far corner, failed to touch the football and the ball flew into the goal!

"He Ying——!!!!!!" Duan Xin stood up from his seat excitedly, raised his arms and shouted. "He Ying!!! He Ying!! The ball went in -!! He got a goal back for the Chinese team! This is the first World Cup goal in the history of the Chinese men's football team! This is a historic moment! He Ying! China The team’s beautiful counterattack! Beautiful goal! Guo Nu! Zheng Zhi! Yang Muge! Yan Min! He Ying! Each of them left their names forever in the history of Chinese football! They created history! And we ! Audience friends! We are fortunate to witness the birth of history!”

Zhang Lu also said excitedly next to him: "This counterattack is really great! Everyone handled the ball very correctly, whether it was Zheng Zhi's counterattack, Yang Muge's pass, or Yan Min's breakthrough with the ball... In the counterattack, every link is required to be perfect, otherwise as long as there is a problem in one link, the goal will not be scored! The Chinese team played what Lippi wanted to see! After falling behind by two goals Under such circumstances, we managed to get a goal back before the first half was over... There is still suspense in this game!”

※※※

The entire Pantanal Arena was filled with cheers from Chinese fans. This was the first time in this game that they made their voices heard and declared their attitude unscrupulously.

Amidst the cheers, He Ying, who scored the goal, turned around excitedly and ran towards the stands where the Chinese team fans gathered - behind their own goal, he had to run across the entire stadium.

During this process, he wanted to take off his clothes to celebrate, but as soon as he lifted his jersey halfway, he remembered that he would get a yellow card for taking off his clothes to celebrate. Because of this, he would get a yellow card in case something unexpected happens in the next game. , it’s troublesome. Now that Zhou Yi is absent, we cannot suffer any more losses in terms of personnel.

So the last trace of reason defeated his excitement, and he put the jersey down again. But he still opened his arms and rushed toward the stands where the Chinese team fans were. His speed was already fast, and now he used all his strength to rush to the stands in the shortest time, and then slid to his knees. He didn't stop until he reached the billboard.

His teammates also followed suit and then jumped on him.

Sun Pan also rushed up to join in the celebration.

And what about Chinese fans? They waved everything they could - fists, scarves, slogans, and national flags - to the Chinese players in the stadium.

This scene is destined to become a classic scene in the memory of Chinese football in the future.

This is the first time that the Chinese people have expressed their emotions heartily in the World Cup.

※※※

Seeing He Ying's goal, Zhou Yi, who was standing on the sidelines, jumped up, then turned and ran to his teammates on the bench, hugging them. Everyone was shouting and screaming to celebrate the goal.

Although it was just a goal, it didn't even equalize the score.

But the situation has quietly changed.

This goal is just the beginning, the Chinese team will not succumb to any difficulties!

Of course, the broadcast camera did not forget to take care of Zhou Yi, and also recorded the scene of Zhou Yi and his teammates celebrating the goal.

The Chinese team was celebrating the goal crazily, while the Chilean team was somewhat depressed.

From the time they attack to the time they concede the ball, it's just ten seconds.

The ball was thrown too fast and they didn't react.

And this conceded goal gave them some not-so-good thoughts.

※※※

When the replay of the goal began to play on the TV, Duan Xin finally calmed down a little.

On this replay, he and Zhang Lu began to analyze the goal and at the same time praised the team's performance.

Zhang Lu said: "Guo Nu's header clearance was very decisive... Zheng Zhi's return pass was also very smart. If he wanted to get the ball and then turn around, the counterattack would most likely not be successful. This counterattack will be impossible." Zheng Zhi was also marked by his opponents during the game. Chile knew very well that Zheng Zhi was playing to replace Zhou Yi, so he and Zhou Yi had the same position and role, so their defense against Zheng Zhi was not weak... Zheng Zhi's goal The handling was very smart, and Yang Muge was even smarter next. He didn't even stop the ball, but directly passed the football to Yan Min diagonally in front... Then it was Yan Min's personal performance time. First, while catching the ball, he passed the ball directly to Yan Min. The ball passed through, past Arangis, and then he made a sudden stop and changed direction to get away from Hala... He showed his characteristics in Dortmund to the fullest. This is how Yan Min played in Dortmund this season..."

Duan Xin continued: "Yan Min was also very smart when he passed the ball at the end. He did not pass it to Gao Lin in front of the goal, but to the space behind Gao Lin. At that time, it was still a space, and there was no one... He Ying saw this opening like Yan Min, so he pushed forward at high speed, and finally made a beautiful and powerful top shot... The entire goal line was clear and the thinking was clear. It was a textbook quick counterattack! Use such a goal to open up the Chinese men's game Football’s scoring history on the World Cup stage couldn’t be better!”

"The last time the Chinese team participated in the World Cup was in 2002. At that time, we were discussing and looking forward to the birth of goals. But as a result, in the three group matches of that World Cup, the Chinese team did not score a single goal. There were also two shots on goal. The goal on the goalpost... Now, after twelve years, we finally get the goal we have been waiting for!" Zhang Lu said with emotion.

"Yes. We have taken many detours in the past twelve years, and Chinese football has also experienced the darkest times. Now anyway, we have finally emerged from the darkness and can see the light of day!" Duan Xin nodded. road. "I hope this is a good start for the future of Chinese football, and I will use this beautiful counterattack goal to open the future..."
