Tang Zheng's penalty kick was not kicked to the right side as Lloris predicted, but kicked the football to the middle of the goal in a four-to-two way.

Lloris, who made a change of centre of gravity in advance, had no choice but to keep his eyes off the football.

"Whoa—"

At the same time, Chinese fans and local Russian fans at the Kazan Stadium subconsciously let out a deafening loud chant.

At such a critical time in the game, Tang Zheng actually took a leisurely kick out of the spoon penalty with extremely high technical and psychological quality.

Incredible!!

If it weren't for the French team that conceded the goal, the French fans would have tacitly created a huge cheer.

Spoon penalties are always visually striking!

"The ball is in! the ball is in!!"

Yang 5 commentator He Wei completely broke out at this moment, and he was full of passion while holding the commentary seat with both hands, and his mouth was like a river: "Tang Zheng helped the Chinese team equalize with a spoon penalty kick and also boosted the morale of the whole team! In Kazan Stadium, we have a chance to defeat the French team, the favorite to win the championship, under the leadership of Tang Zheng!"

Although Lippi, who is over 70 years old, is full of confidence in Tang Zheng's penalty kick, he will inevitably have huge psychological fluctuations when he sees Tang Zheng hit the penalty, and followed his assistants Madaloni and Li Tie to vent the huge pressure brought by the goal.

The head coach of the French team, Didier Deschamps, already knew the ending, but he still shook his head helplessly at the moment of the goal.

However, his attention was not on Tang Zheng, but on Umtiti, who made a fatal mistake.

In that situation, he really couldn't figure out how Umtiti would play with his hands.

If the eyes can kill a person, then Umtiti has been killed on the spot by his head coach Didier Deschamps!

If you're not afraid of god-like opponents, you're afraid of pig-like teammates!

Obviously, Umtiti's handball just now was a choice that would be made by his pig teammates.

Andy Guerrera, the British Sky commentator in the commentary booth at the scene, said loudly: "Don's penalty shooting rate is as consistent as ever, 100%! Yes! You sat in front of the TV and you heard it right! Don't miss a penalty shot rate of 100% and never missed a penalty!

Commentator Martin Taylor laughed: "Old man, how do I feel that the Chinese team led by Tang still has any hope of beating the French team in Kazan Stadium?"

"Is this a heart-wrenching spirit?" Andy Gray turned his head and winked at his old partner Martin Taylor, "I think so too." ”

But speaking of this, Andy Gray's voice changed: "But this possibility is very low, after all, the gap between the strength of the Chinese team and the French team is a bit large, and it is a little difficult to beat the French team in the total value list of the team in this World Cup." ”

Tang Zheng, who scored the goal, was not too excited, he stood in place, hugged his teammates, and at the same time deliberately instigated the excitement of his teammates.

The game restarted, and the French team, which had the advantage of kick-off, launched an offensive towards the defensive half of the Chinese team for the first time.

However, the Chinese team, who had just equalized, were prepared, and they retreated to the half-court defense to easily resist the unorganized French attack, and even a quick counterattack led by Tang Zheng almost caused Varane to set himself up for an own goal.

Standing in the coach's box, Deschamps was nervous, and if the Chinese team overtook the score in just three minutes, the game would be difficult to play.

The morale of the Chinese team who equalized was greatly boosted, and they did not fall behind at all in the face of the French team, which was more than one step higher, and even faintly suppressed the French team.

So, Didier Deschamps played the third card of the match for France.

Matuidi replaces Tolisso.

Judging from the substitution adjustment, Deschamps is thinking about defense, but in fact, he is thinking more about attack.

Tolisso did not play well in this game, and B2B midfielder Matuidi can not only strengthen the defensive hardness of the French midfield, but also increase the attacking point of attack.

Matuidi comes across as fit, attacking and defending, but what really impresses him is the shot from behind.

With Giroud, Kylian Mbappe and Fekir completely restricted, Matuidi may be able to play an unexpected role.

※※※

Matuidi, who came off the bench, played a defensive role in midfield, but also linked up Pogba, Giroud and Fekir in attack, so France regained the game.

However, the Chinese team coached by Lippi did not want to become fat in one bite, and the draw with France was a very good result, and there was no need to take any risks.

Draw with France in the first round, win one and draw one in the next two rounds, and qualify for the group is a certainty!

Flattered!

So, Lippi wondered if he should make one last substitution in advance.

Eighty-three minutes were played, with seven minutes left in regulation time and ten minutes of injury time.

It's a bit of a waste to leave four offensive players in the front court, after all, the most important thing in the last period of time is defense, even if there is a chance to counterattack quickly, Lu Liang, Sun Jingbo and Liu Ruofan can also handle it, and ...... There is also Tang Zheng, who is still quite physically energetic in the game!

For whom?

Wu Xi?

Or He Chao?

However, at this moment, the French team once again exceeded the score.

Matuidi ran at all costs his strength in the midfield to help Pogba, Fekir and Mbappe bring space, Pogba, who got the ball, played a delicate pass with Mbappe, and Li Kui stretched his foot half a beat slower and did not touch the football.

Mbappe did not give the ball back to Pogba, but used the outside of his left foot to pick up the ball to Giroud, who was retreating.

Tang Zheng has a strong sense of defense, neither with Mbappe nor with Giroud, but with Pogba to the arc of the penalty area.

At this time, Giroud, who paused with his left foot in the stuck position, picked the ball on his left foot and picked the ball into the big penalty area, which is Pogba's running route.

Although Giroud's pass seemed a bit ahead of time, Pogba was tall and long-legged and caught up in two steps, and the two central defenders Zhang Linpeng and Gao Zhunyi were distracted by Matuidi, Fekir and Mbappe who were inserted in the back and could not get close to Pogba for the first time.

Fortunately, Tang Zheng followed Pogba closely and did not leave him unmarked.

Olivier Giroud's pass was very targeted, as Pogba was closer to the ball because of the space position.

Pogba adjusted his pace point in the run, where did Tang Zheng not know what Pogba was going to do?

Tang Zheng fell to the ground on the right side at the moment when Pogba picked up his right foot and kicked the football, and suddenly, there was an exclamation in the stands: "Oh oh oh ~"

Lippi, who was still thinking about whether to replace Wu Xi or He Chao, returned to the scene, and his wise eyes looked at the Chinese team's big penalty area.

Just saw Pogba's right foot hit the football, and the football hit the arch of Tang Zheng's stretched right foot, and the football, which was supposed to fly forward flat, changed its trajectory, flew upward, and then chased towards the goal with a strong parabola.

Although Pogba's shot was blocked by Tang Zheng, the speed was greatly reduced, but it was very uncomfortable for Yan Junling, who was moving forward, he kicked the ground hard, and the whole person took off into the air.

"Yan Junling—"

Yang 5 commentator He Wei's voice suddenly rose an octave.

Yan Junling, who jumped to the highest point, looked at the football in mid-air, a little desperate.

"Bang~"

Desperate, Yan Junling seemed to hear the most beautiful sound in the world, he immediately turned around after hearing the sound of the goalpost, and the football hit the horizontal lower edge and bounced to the ground.

Yan Junling's eyes were quick and he held the football in his arms.

"The football bounced ......out on the underside of the crossbar," the Yang 5 commentator was dancing with his eyebrows and the organizational language described the excitement in his heart, but the referee Cunha pointed to the center circle in the broadcast footage, which means ...... The ball is in!

The French fans who originally held their heads with their hands and looked sorry raised their arms to celebrate the goal, and Tang Zheng, as the captain of the Chinese team, ran to the referee Cunha for the first time to appeal for the team.

But referee Cunha looked firm and patiently pointed to his left wrist watch to explain.

Tang Zheng is very helpless, since the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, England suffered a threshold suspense, FIFA introduced the goal-line hawkeye technology, which means that the referee Cunha has a sufficient technical basis.

Sure enough!

In the replay given in slow motion, it is easy to see that Pogba's shot first hit the arch of Tang Zheng's right foot, and then the ball that changed trajectory hit the underside of the crossbar, and the slow motion slowed down again, and the ball that bounced back to the ground was indeed outside the goal line......

※※※

Pogba, who scored the goal, looked very excited, because his goal was scored under Tang Zheng's close watch!

In the sense of confrontation, Pogba suppressed Tang Zheng in those moments!

France once again exceeded the score and Lippi had no choice.

Whether it is Wu Xi or He Chao, they do not meet the adjustment requirements that the Chinese team should make when the score is behind.

The on-site director gave Tang Zheng a close-up shot that was pushed to his face, judging from the entire slow-motion replay, Tang Zheng's defense was already very in place, and even touched the football when he put the shovel, but unfortunately the refracted football happened to pass the tip of the goalkeeper Yan Junling's stretched right finger......

So Tang Zheng shook his head, very helpless.

Luck is something you can't see or touch, but it can change the end of a game in many cases.

However, Tang Zheng did not intend to accept his fate, he looked up at the scoreboard, in addition to showing 1:2, it also showed the game time.

84’14”

There are still more than five minutes of regular time, and there is still plenty of time left for the Chinese team!

The game restarted, Tang Zheng, who won the ball, did not give a pass forward, but patiently organized in tandem, but the midfield still lacked an offensive organization deputy, so the Chinese team's offense always felt that something was missing.

Half a minute later, Matuidi completed a clearance, the football flew out of the right sideline of his own half, and the Chinese team won the ball on the left sideline of the front court.

The Chinese team then made the third substitution adjustment of the game.

Zhang Yuzhan replaced Wu Sanshi, who had little effect.

The formation of the Chinese team has not changed, it is still a 4231 formation, Zhang Yuzhan who came off the bench as the center forward, Sun Jingbo played the right forward, and Lu Liang and Liu Ruofan remained unchanged.

Zhang Yuzha, who came off the bench, moved to the center forward position while also bringing his teammates the latest adjustments made by head coach Lippi.

Tang Zheng, Lu Liang, Sun Jingbo, and Liu Ruofan nodded their heads to indicate that they knew, and head coach Lippi then returned to the coach's seat and sat down.

All the adjustments he can make have been made, and as for whether the Chinese team can equalize, it depends on the performance of the players on the field.

Of course, Lippi's eyes did not leave the court, and when his eyes focused on Tang Zheng, his anxiety was greatly relieved.

The game time is running out and it will be a bit difficult to beat France, but there is hope for an equaliser.

Pogba, who helped France exceed the score again, is getting better and better, whether it is offensive or defensive, he can be seen.

Yang 5 commentator He Wei is all sighing: "Pogba is in such a good state!!"

In the blink of an eye, the game came to the eighty-eighth minute, and since all three cards of both sides were played, it was difficult for the rest of the game to have accidents when the scene was relatively stale.

As the clock ticked by, and the stoppage time was getting closer and closer, the French fans in the stands couldn't help but create a huge cheer: "Whoa-whoa-"

The Chinese fans, led by the "Dragons" fan club, were not discouraged by the Chinese team's backwardness, and they believed that their national team would equalize in the remaining match time!

Pogba is getting better and better, playing with excitement, he gradually has a feeling of "Lao Tzu is the best in the world", and the frequency of the ball at his feet continues to decline.

Deschamps kept the change to Pogba for the first time, but he did not stop it, France is rich in artists, and the same is true for football stadiums, Pogba is in hot form, allowing him to play freely, which is beneficial to the team.

Tang Zheng and Li Kui both noticed that Pogba began to stick to the ball, glanced at each other, and then tapped their chins tacitly.

With half a minute to go before the end of normal time, the fourth official was adjusting the stoppage time in the technical area on the sidelines, waiting for the clock to come back at the end of the 89 minutes.

By this time, both Lippi and Deschamps had come to their respective command areas, pacing back and forth.

It is not difficult to see that they are all very nervous.

The fourth official held up the electronic card for five minutes of injury time, and the football came to the feet of Pogba, Pogba took the ball past Liu Ruofan, and the French fans in the stands subconsciously let out a burst of cheers and shouted for Pogba.

Mbappe and Fekir retreated at the same time to pick up Pogba.

In terms of selection, Pogba naturally gave preference to Mbappe, who had a higher degree of tacit understanding, but Li Kui's move to the right was half a step away, just in the passing route between him and Mbappe, Pogba wanted to pass to Fekir, but his brain was hot and decided to change the pass to the ball.

When he finished dialing the ball, Yu Guang saw a red figure approaching, startled, and hurriedly stretched out his right foot to smash the ball.

He Wei, the commentator of Yang 5, saw the figure in the red jersey clearly, and subconsciously shouted: "Tang Zheng——"

Tang Zheng kicked out very quickly, and his elongated right foot just stopped the route of Pogba's smash.

Pogba, who is tall and has a long leg and a high center of gravity, stumbled on his feet, his center of gravity was a little unstable, and then stumbled to the ground.

Pogba, who fell to the ground, complained about Tang Zheng's foul as soon as possible, but referee Cunha did not think that Tang Zheng had fouled, and he did not say anything.
