Chapter 36 People Who Cannot Be Ignored

At the beginning of the second half, the Chinese team took advantage of their kick-off opportunity to attack the Brazilian goal. However, this attack failed to threaten the Brazilian goal guarded by Gabriel because the Chinese team invested in this attack. The number of people was too small. He Ying took a shot almost thirty meters away from the goal and retreated. Bayi Chinese ]]])

When there was no obvious space in the Brazilian team's defense, the Chinese team was unwilling to tangle with them in the frontcourt.

After regaining possession of the ball, the Brazilian team launched a fierce attack on the Chinese team's goal.

After Hulk got the ball in the frontcourt, he was like a Hulk, using his physical advantage to squeeze away Zhou Yi, and then drove the ball towards the Chinese team's goal. Yang Muge was waiting in front. If he was broken through, Hulk would They will directly face the back line led by Guo Nu, which is very dangerous for the Chinese team.

However, before Hulk could get close to Yang Muge, he was tackled by Zhang Jiadong who rushed up from the side.

Zhang Jiadong, who tackled from behind, also received a yellow card for this, but he prevented Hulk from making a breakthrough. The yellow card was quite worth it.

"At the beginning of the second half, the Brazilian team launched an aggressive offensive. It seems that the Brazilian team will have a showdown with the Chinese team in the second half!"

Zhang Jiadong's foul allowed the Brazilian team to get a free kick with a slightly skewed angle. Hulk personally took the free kick. He did not choose to pass the ball, but shot hard, hoping to break through the Chinese team's wall.

But the football finally hit the wall and bounced off the sideline...

"This is not a wise choice, Hulk!" BBC's Mark Lawrenson criticized, "He should have chosen to pass the ball!"

Although Hulk's free kick did not threaten the Chinese team's goal, Neymar made a comeback two minutes later. He made a beautiful fake move on the left to get rid of Zhang Linpeng, cut inside and dribbled horizontally, and then hit the corner of the penalty area. Kicking off and volleying.

The football missed the left goal post slightly.

In the 50th minute, it was Neymar again. After receiving the ball from Damian, Neymar took a low shot from a distance of 12 meters from the goal in the penalty area. The shot football was touched by Guo Nu who came up to block it, and there was a line change!

"Neymar's shot... is dangerous!" He Ping exclaimed, and the hearts of the Chinese fans who saw this scene in front of the TV also twitched.

The change of line ball at such a close distance is the most difficult to prevent!

The other Brazilian players in the penalty area raised their hands impatiently when they saw this scene.

Get ready to cheer for a goal.

But then he saw Sun Pan swooping over again, using his fingertips to flick the changed football. He did so reluctantly, because the football did not fly directly out of the baseline, but spun and hit the door. on the pillar, and then fell back...

Zhang Linpeng, who was in front of the goal, turned around and kicked the ball almost reflexively, and kicked the football out before Hulk's foot arrived!

Eventually, the football flew off the sideline.

All this happened so fast. When the football flew to the sideline, He Ping roared: "Sun Pan! He saved the Chinese team again! An amazing and incredible save!"

"Ah! Sun Pan!!" BBC's Mark Lawrenson also exclaimed: "It's unbelievable that he actually touched the ball! The Chinese team was able to lead the opponent in the first half. I think the biggest contributor is not He Ying who scored the goal. , but it should be this young goalkeeper who was loaned by Chelsea to Atletico Madrid! I wonder if the Chelsea club will regret loaning him to Madrid in one go after seeing Sun Pan’s performance in this Olympics. Two seasons of competition..."

When Sun Pan stood up from the ground after completing the save, he saw the football flying towards the sideline. He withdrew his gaze and slapped his hands hard. However, he was not encouraging his teammates, but shouting: "Lao Guo, just let it go." He shoots! If he can score goals, I will follow your surname Guo!"

Guo Nu's face turned red: "Why, why isn't your surname Nei?"

"You are stupid, Neymar's surname is Ney? His surname is Bitch!" Sun Pan said, pointing to the name on Neymar's jersey number behind the bar. "Didn't you see it says 'JR'? JR, short for bitch!"

Guo Nu was speechless. He always felt that something was wrong with what Sun Pan said, but he couldn't figure out exactly why. Because the name on Neymar's jersey is indeed ""...

Zhou Yi heard the conversation between the two people and sighed: "It's a pity that Panpan and Lao Guo can't speak Portuguese..."

"What?" Yang Muge didn't understand why Zhou Yi had such emotion.

"Otherwise, the words of these two idiots will deeply irritate Neymar and make him completely lose his mind..." After complaining about the two teammates, Zhou Yi clapped his hands hard and encouraged his teammates loudly, "Withstand their attack. ! No big deal! Their attack was just a bluff!"

※※※

In fact, what Zhou Yi said was wrong. Brazil's offense during this period was not a bluff, but could really threaten the goal guarded by the Chinese team. If the person standing in front of the goal was not Sun Pan, the goal would have been penetrated. .

Only five minutes into the second half, the Brazilian team had three shots, while the Chinese team had zero shots. There is no need to mention the number of shots now, because the Chinese team is definitely lagging behind Brazil. Since Hulk came on the field, Brazil's offense has been like a chicken blood. It suddenly exploded, and their number of shots naturally followed. skyrocketing.

But in order to encourage his teammates, Zhou Yi of course had to "tell lies with his eyes open."

The most active person in this fierce offensive of the Brazilian team is Neymar.

After the shot was saved by Sun Pan, he once headed the goal but was hugged by Sun Pan because he headed too far. In the 59th minute, Neymar pushed a shot ten meters away from the goal on the left side of the penalty area. Sun Pan turned around and pounced back, but Neymar pushed the ball higher.

As the biggest star in this Olympic team and the most amazing talent recently born in Brazilian football, he has high hopes that he can lead the Olympic team to win the first Olympic gold medal in the history of Brazilian football.

This sense of mission makes Neymar work extra hard on the court.

The commentator also greatly appreciated his positive performance, praising Neymar's talent from all angles, and believed that Neymar should leave Brazil and come to Europe after leading the Brazilian Olympic team to win the gold medal in this Olympics.

"Europe has opened its arms and is ready to welcome him!" Mark Lawrenson said a bit disgustingly...

Neymar's positive performance made many people feel that the Brazilian team was only a stone's throw away from breaking the Chinese team's goal.

But then, Zhou Yi reminded everyone with his actual performance that this game was not a one-man show for Neymar, and there was not only one Sun Pan on the Chinese team who could dominate the close-up shots.

In the 64th minute, the Chinese team launched a counterattack. He Ying's shot was of high quality. Gabriel flew in the air and blocked the football. Xiao Juan quickly made a clearance, but the kick did not go far. , the football flew outside the penalty area, leaving Zhou Yi waiting for him.

After Zhou Yi stopped the football with ****, Thiago Silva pressed forward. Facing Silva's frontal defense, Zhou Yi took a feint shot to the left and then suddenly pulled horizontally to the right. But his fake move did not completely deceive Silva. AC Milan's main center back decisively shoveled the football with his foot. Before Zhou Yi could push the football away, he shoveled the football.

The kicked football bounced up and hit the calf bone of Zhou Yi's right leg. It bounced high and became very difficult to control.

Upon seeing this, Thiago Silva got up from the ground on his hands and knees, intending to seize the opportunity to completely eliminate the threat.

But Zhou Yi moved faster than him. Looking at the football from above, he did not wait for the ball to fall, but chose to shoot directly!

Zhou Yi, who was looking up at the football, jumped into the air, then kicked the football with his feet!

A difficult volley from the penalty area!

His foot grabbed the football before Thiago Silva's head could reach it!

A banging sound stirred Thiago Silva's eardrums, but it also made Silva sigh in relief. In the end, Zhou Yi chose to kick off hastily under his own pressure, using such a method from such a distance. The final result of a difficult action shot can be imagined - it must be too high and too far off!

But when he looked back, he saw goalkeeper Gabriel flying in the air, raising his hand high, but did not touch the football. The football fell towards the goal behind him!

Followed by another crisp sound, the football hit the top of the crossbar and bounced out...

Thiago Silva couldn't help but open his mouth when he saw this scene... He never expected that Zhou Yi's casual and hasty kick could actually hit the goal frame and almost fly into the goal!

"Ahhhhhhh!" He Ping in the commentary box held his head in his hands and shouted regretfully. "The crossbar! The crossbar blocked Zhou Yi's kick that shocked the world! If this goal is scored, it will not only help the Chinese team lead Brazil by two goals, but I bet that this goal will eventually become the best goal in this Olympics. Ball! A volley from the penalty area! The Brazilian team escaped. I hope they can take the time to think about it when they continue to besiege our goal. There is a pair of eyes staring at them in the Chinese team's formation. Where’s the goal!”

The commentator on the Brazilian TV station was also frightened into a cold sweat: "Oh God! Zhou Yi almost scored! This kick was so sudden! Fortunately, God blessed us, and the crossbar helped us prevent the Chinese's second goal." ball!"

BBC's Mark Lawrenson exclaimed: "Brilliant! But maybe the ball was too beautiful. Even God didn't want to see such a goal, so he let the crossbar block the ball! What a pity! It was always pressed. The Chinese team was almost able to use this goal to get rid of the pressure! Zhou Yi almost killed the game! Although Neymar had always been in the limelight before, the Dortmund midfielder reminded the Brazilians with this kick. He is also a figure that cannot be ignored!”

※※※

Watching the football hit the top edge of the crossbar and then pop out of the baseline, Zhou Yi, who had just started, also patted the turf next to him with regret.

Of course this ball is covered, but it’s okay if it can be covered!

The pressure on the defense can also be reduced a lot.

But unfortunately not...

He Ying turned around and looked at Zhou Yi blankly. He didn't expect that Zhou Yi almost scored with this kick. Zhou Yi felt sorry that the goal didn't go in, but He Ying felt that even though the goal didn't go in, it could still scare Brazil. A jump, and it can greatly boost the morale of the team, allowing everyone to maintain hope under the indiscriminate bombardment of the Brazilian team.

So he gave Zhou Yi a thumbs up. (To be continued.)
