Chapter 28 Did You Kick the Flaw...?

In the 41st minute, Zhou Yi picked up the ball at the edge of Spain's penalty area. He first turned and passed the football back, and then ran back. At the same time, He Ying also retreated a little.

As a result, Spain's defense moved forward as a whole - they didn't want to give people like Zhou Yi and He Ying room to turn around.

Yang Muge got the ball from behind. After seeing Zhou Yi retreat a certain distance, he passed the football back.

Zhou Yi raised his arms and prepared to catch the ball.

Xavi Alonso immediately got on top of him and didn't let him turn around.

Facing the incoming ball, Zhou Yi turned his body slightly to one side, and at the same time cut the ball with the outside instep of his right foot. The football flew past him and Alonso, drew an arc, and went straight to Spain's ribs. There is space behind the defense!

Because of He Ying's retreat, Spain's defense line followed and pressed out. There was a big gap there!

While Zhou Yi turned his back to the direction of attack, he accurately found the gap!

"Oh! What a great ball!" Liu Jianhong couldn't help but exclaimed.

Chinese fans also cheered in the stands.

The football flew over the heads of the Spanish defenders and fell straight into the space behind them.

At the same time, Yan Min relied on his excellent starting speed to suddenly accelerate, get behind the Spanish defenders, and chase the football!

At this time, Spanish goalkeeper Reina decisively abandoned the goal and pounced on the football. If he is fast enough, he can save the football before Yan Min, and even if he is a little slower, he can block Yan Min's shooting angle. When the angle is very small, Yan Min will almost never shoot. space.

But Yan Min didn't want to shoot...

Relying on his excellent explosive power and speed, although he was further away from the football, Yan Min still caught up with the football before Reina. He did not stop the ball to adjust, nor did he shoot directly, but jumped up and used the outside of his right foot. He flicked the football to the center and made a pass!

"Yan Min...pass!"

He Ying followed up in the middle and wanted to grab the ball, but he was firmly suppressed by Spanish center back Albiol. The arms of both sides were entangled, and He Ying was unable to accelerate.

At the same time, in front of him, Sergio Ramos blocked Yan Min's cross with a big foot!

"What a risk! Ramos made a key defense! Reina made the right choice to attack.

It can only be said that Yan Min's speed is too fast..." The Spanish commentator felt that he was always repeating this word during this period, but there was no way, who made the Chinese team's offensive more fierce during this period?

He Ying, who did not grab the point, raised his arm and appealed to the referee Shukralla. He believed that Albiol pulled his arm and prevented him from grabbing the point. Therefore, Albiol committed a pulling foul. A penalty kick should have been awarded.

However, Shukralla did not agree with this view, and he shook his head at He Ying.

He Ying was helpless and could only spread his hands.

Because of Ramos's clearance, the Chinese team won a corner kick, and Zhou Yi ran to take the corner kick.

In the club, Zhou Yi is not the number one set kick player. If Royce and Shaheen are there, corner kicks are usually their job. But this does not mean that Zhou Yi will not take corner kicks. For a player with excellent long-passing ability, it is not difficult to take corner kicks.

It’s just a matter of whether you think about it or not.

In the club, Dortmund has many players suitable for playing corner kicks. Zhou Yi does not need to compete with others and takes care of all the work.

But the situation is different in the national team. Apart from him, there is really no better set-kick taker.

Therefore, in the Chinese national team, Zhou Yi has to take care of all set kicks except direct free kicks and penalty kicks.

Corner kicks left and right are his job.

When Zhou Yi ran to take the corner kick, he made a gesture to Yan Min, telling him to come over.

Yan Min guessed that Zhou Yi was going to take a tactical corner kick, that is, a short corner kick, and needed someone to respond, so he ran up.

His move naturally attracted the attention of Spanish players.

Because of his short stature, Cazorla did not enter the penalty area to participate in defense. Now that Yan Min pulled out, he could just go up to help defend, so he stuck to Yan Min, intending to prevent him from turning around easily.

After Zhou Yi set up the football, he stood up and saw Cazorla behind Yan Min, but he didn't care.

He looked up into the penalty area, which was also ready.

No one was pushing or shoving or hugging each other.

The referee blew his whistle.

Zhou Yi took a running start and then passed the football to Yan Min who came up to meet him.

Then he quickly ran out of the corner flag area and circled from the outside to the front of the penalty area.

After Yan Min received the ball, he did not immediately pass it back to Zhou Yi, but tried to dribble the ball himself. However, he was forced by Cazorla and could not turn around, so he could only lead it to the wing, just from the penalty area to the wing.

In the process, Zhou Yi also ran outside the corner of the penalty area.

Yan Min completed a turn near the sideline, but was unable to get rid of Cazorla.

Seeing this, he no longer hesitated and passed the football directly to Zhou Yi.

As the football rolled towards Zhou Yi, the Spanish players who were originally in the penalty area pressed forward one after another, on the one hand to cause offside, and on the other hand of course to force Zhou Yi.

Zhou Yi quickly turned his head and glanced at the penalty area, then faced the football passed by Yan Min and swung his left foot.

Looking at his posture, he is going to shoot directly!

The closest Spanish player is Koke, who plays for Atletico Madrid and has played against Zhou Yi's Dortmund in the previous two seasons of the Champions League.

Especially last season, he still clearly remembers it. During Dortmund's home game, when the entire Dortmund team was helpless against Sun Pan, who was guarding the goal, no matter how they attacked, it was Zhou Yi's sudden long shot from outside the penalty area that created a world wave and hit the goal guarded by Sun Pan. goal, thus knocking Atlético Madrid out of the competition.

So now that he saw Zhou Yi swinging his feet outside the penalty area, how could the string in his heart not tighten?

He rushed towards Zhou Yi, trying to block Zhou Yi's shot with his body.

At the same time, Spanish goalkeeper Reina also fixed his eyes firmly on Zhou Yi, lowered his center of gravity, and made a gesture of preparing to save.

In addition to them, other Spanish players could not help but turn their attention to Zhou Yi. The TV broadcasts, TV audiences, fans at the scene, coaches and substitute players on both sides of the field all had their eyes firmly fixed on Zhou Yi.

I saw Zhou Yi's left foot kicking the football, and the football flew around Koke and flew towards the goal!

But soon everyone discovered that the flight trajectory of the football was wrong. Logically speaking, Zhou Yi's shot should go straight to the goal, but he kicked an external rotation arc. If the football flew like this, it would be parallel to the goal. Fly over...

This shot is too inaccurate, right?

Could it be that Zhou Yi kicked him out?

Many people were stunned.

Because the football was externally rotated, the Spanish goalkeeper Reina in front of the goal did not attack to get the ball because he could not hold the ball at all. This was not a ball within his control.

At the same time, the Spanish players in the penalty area were also unsure about the ball - it seemed that this shot would pose no threat to football. If it were to fly past, it would fly out of the baseline.

But Ramos felt vaguely that something was wrong.

A voice in his head told him he should clear the ball.

But the football was fast and high, and by the time Ramos realized something was wrong, the football had already flown over his head. He could only follow the football and turn around, and then he saw a scene that horrified him - at the back of the goal, the football dropped rapidly, and at the same time, a Chinese player wearing a red jersey rushed up, then jumped up and headed To the football that just happened to fly!

※※※

"Yan Min passed the football to Zhou Yi, and Zhou Yi shot the ball without stopping... Oops, the ball was missed... Guo Nu!?" Liu Jianhong thought Zhou Yi had made a mistake at first, but when his eyes followed the football When I moved to the back point, I was surprised to find that there, Guo Nu jumped up and headed towards the falling football!

So at this time, his mind suddenly understood - what happened? This was clearly a premeditated attempt to attack the east and west, posing as a shot, but in the end he kicked a precise cross!

Guo Nu, who was at the back point, was completely unmarked, but Reina was in front and had not had time to defend back to the back point. Although the angle was not big, in front of him was the Spanish team's completely open goal!

He doesn't even need to exert too much force, as long as he can guarantee the correct football.

Bang!

His diving dive pushed the football toward the goal!

There is no suspense, the football flew into the Spanish goal from the back point!

"Guo Nu!!! Guo Nu!!! Oh, beautiful! Beautiful! The Chinese team broke the deadlock and took the lead!" Liu Jianhong almost jumped up from the commentary box with excitement. "At the end of the first half, the Chinese team took the lead! Guo Nu! He scored his first goal in the World Cup!"
