Switching from defense to attack to attack is the easiest time to concede goals in a football game, because switching from defense to attack will boost the morale of the defender, actively participate in the attack, and strive to play high-quality and fast counterattacks to score goals.

However, the player's body is focused on moving forward, and the mental level of thinking from hope to disillusionment is also very hard, and the brain will have a short period of distraction and lack of concentration.

Distraction at this time is fatal!

Feng Xiaoting had a keen sense of smell and grabbed in advance, just cut off the ball at the feet of Koné's direct pass to Samaras, who was inserted forward, and then handed it to Tang Zheng, the core of the midfield, as soon as possible.

Tang Zheng kicked the ball with his back to the goal, and directly used the outside of his right foot to pick up the ball to Wu Sanshi without stopping the ball.

Kachulanis originally wanted to defend Tang Zheng and not give him any chance to turn around, but Tang Zheng seemed to have eyes in the back of his head, he didn't take the ball and turn around, but gave Wu Sanshi, who was unmarked next to him.

Kachulanis, who was already moving forward, had no choice, and most of his teammates were actively moving forward in the case of switching from defense to attack, and they had not had time to return to position in the process of switching from attack to defense.

As one of the team's midfield barriers, Kachulanis did not have room to think, and after running halfway through, he hurriedly turned and pounced on Wu Sanshi who was holding the ball.

Wu Sanshi was very smart, and he led the ball forward with his right foot and broke through.

Kachulanis had no choice but to stretch out his foot and trip Wu Sanshi to the ground.

Immediately, the referee on duty whistled and ran to the fouling Kachulanis with an unkind expression.

Now, Kachulanis finally realized something.

He has already carried a yellow card.

Kachulanis clasped his palms together and looked at referee Aguilar, pleading words in his mouth at the same time.

If you get another yellow card, you will be sent off with a red card!

Head coach Santos was nervous and looked at referee Aguilar.

Is it a warning, or a second yellow card!

The captain of the Chinese team, Zheng Zhi and Tang Zheng, approached the location of the incident, and they made a card move towards the referee Aguilar, after all, Wu Sanshi had completed the breakthrough, facing the offensive direction head-on, and there was a large space in front of him, directly facing the back line.

Kachulanis is a foul with obvious tactical intent, and he must be carded!

Naturally, the Greek players didn't want their teammates to be sent off, so they surrounded them and pressed the referee.

At the same time, He Wei, the commentator of the Central 5 Bulletin, said sharply: "This is a standard yellow card action, Kachulanis used a foul with obvious tactical intent to hinder the rapid counterattack that the Chinese team may form! FIFA has repeatedly praised the attack, in order to set an example, the referee Aguilar should take it seriously!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Aguilar stood in front of Kachulanis, first waved his hand to the players on both sides to make room, then pulled out a yellow card from his left breast pocket and then a red card from his trouser pocket.

“Oh-My-God！！”

Greek National Sports Television commentator Frizas Yekas subconsciously exclaimed.

Judging from the broadcast screen, the foul Kachulanis couldn't believe it, holding his head in his hands, looking very painful.

His teammates were disappointed.

"Kachulanis pays for his reckless foul! Two yellows turn into one red!" shouted Yang 5 commentator He Wei: "This is definitely the turning point of this game!"

The foul Kachulanis also tried to explain to referee Aguilar, but referee Aguilar was firm in his decision, insisting that Kachulanis's foul ruined China's offensive chances to score.

Yellow card, no problem!

But there are also commentators who have been upset with Kachulanis, who believe that Kachulanis had already received a yellow card a few minutes earlier, and that referee Aguilar should have been more cautious in choosing to give a verbal warning rather than a card in such a sensitive decision.

The head coach of the Greek national team, Santos, was so excited that he pulled the fourth official from Tahiti, Hoyata, to complain that the referee Aguilar was too harsh and even harsh on his players.

Of course, there is no way to change the referee's decision, which means that the result of Kachulanis's two yellows and one red cannot be changed again.

"Whoa—"

The Chinese fans at the Dune stadium were clearly very happy with the referee's decision Aguilar, and they knew what it meant to have one more man to play, so they erupted into loud shouts in support of the referee on duty.

Yang 5 commentator Gong Lei talked about Kachulanis's red card: "If I am not mistaken, Kachulanis's red card is the first red card for the Greek national team since participating in the 1994 World Cup in the United States, the 2010 World Cup in South Africa and the current World Cup in Brazil. ”

※※※

Greece coach Santos did not waste any more time after his complaint was fruitless, and he returned to the home team's dugout to discuss with his assistant what to do in the next game.

Kachulanis is the team's midfield barrier, with a clear role and a lot of experience in the game, and now he is sent off, whether to let other players fill in the place left by Kachulanis or replace the player.

These are all things that need to go through the coaching staff.

At the same time, the head coach of the Chinese team, Lippi, walked to the sidelines and pulled the captain Zheng Zhi to teach him face-to-face.

There are still a few minutes left in the first half of the game, and now the Greek team has one less player, and the protection of the defensive space is definitely insufficient, which is where the Chinese team can take advantage of it.

If you're lucky, you can score!

Although Lippi is a world-class head coach with excellent coaching experience and coaching resume, he can lead the Chinese team to easily qualify for the round of 16 in the group stage of the World Cup, and his coaching career will reach a new peak.

Because the overall ability of the Chinese team is not strong, the top 32 in the World Cup can rank fifteenth, even beating Russia and Chile, largely because Tang Zheng's personal worth is as high as 100 million euros.

If China can beat Greece in addition to beating Ivory Coast, two consecutive wins are inevitable and Lippi's reputation will be reinvigorated.

The Greek team, which played one less, did not make the first substitution adjustment, but let Samaras, who was at the front, retreat and participate in the midfield defense.

It wasn't until two minutes later that Greece took advantage of a dead-goal opportunity to make a substitution.

No. 10 veteran Karagunis replaced No. 18 Fettfazitis in the original position of Kachulanis, which is a defensive midfielder.

Looking at Karagunis who entered the stadium, Yang 5 commentator He Wei exclaimed: "The Greek team chose to send the veteran Karagunis, who has turned 37 years old this year, at this critical time!"

Speaking of this, He Wei suddenly changed his voice: "However, Karagunis has rich experience in the game, and is the main core player who won the 2004 European Championship in Portugal and Greece, and has a great influence in the team. ”

As He Wei said, the 37-year-old Hot Sauce Karagunis has a huge influence in the team and plays a role in stabilizing the morale of the army.

Even though the Chinese team used the numerical advantage to strengthen the attack and the offensive methods became diversified, the Greek team, which played one less player, completely gave up the attack in the last few minutes of the first half and went all out to defend, so the protection of the defensive end was in place, so that Tang Zheng, who organized the attack, could not find a good passing angle at all.

"Beep~Beep~~"

With the whistle of the referee on duty, Aguilar, the first half of the first game of the second round of Group C was declared over, and the two sides entered their respective dressing rooms with a score of 0:0.

The close-up of the on-site director was given to the Chinese team No. 10 Tang Zheng for the first time, as the most eye-catching star of both sides in this game, his performance naturally became the talk of the on-site commentators.

Unfortunately, Tang Zheng focused most of his attention on the defensive end throughout the first half, and his teammates wasted chances one after another in the limited flash time, even if the Greek team was sent off at the end of the first half, there was no way to help the Chinese team score an ice-breaking goal.

British Sky commentator Andy Grey may have been disturbed by his partner Martin Taylor, and he was not stingy with his praise for Tang Zheng: "There is no doubt that Tang's performance is still world-class! ”

Martin Taylor nodded: "Whether it is Dortmund or Real Madrid, Tang has teammates who cooperate with him tacitly and have outstanding technical ability, but there are very few Chinese players, except for Artemisia and Sun, other Chinese players seem to be half a beat slower in terms of rhythm." ”

Yang 5 commentator He Wei has a good mentality, he said: "The first half ended 0:0 is very reasonable, the Greek team defended comprehensively, although our attack has bright spots, but the grasp is slightly lacking, but there are still 45 minutes in the second half, we have time to score, I believe that the Chinese team with the superior number can finally beat Greece and qualify for the round of 16." ”

※※※

The fifteen-minute half-time break passed quickly and players from both sides returned to the Dunes one after another.

The frenetic atmosphere at the Dune Stadium continued, and the Chinese fans in redwoods looked very excited, and the cheers they created rose higher and higher.

Sitting in front of the TV, fans can clearly see that the Chinese team wearing traditional red jerseys and red shorts has one more player, so many fans believe that the Chinese team can create good scoring opportunities through numerical advantage in the second half.

Greece head coach Santos was frowning as he stood in the home area, clearly worried about a lack of concentration in the second half with one man missing.

The situation of the game was as expected by the commentators at halftime, with the Chinese team, which had a numerical advantage, taking the initiative and the Greek team passively defending.

Many people thought that the Greek team, which was sent off in the first half, was already unlucky, but no one expected that the house leak would rain overnight......

Just four minutes into the second half, Mitroglu felt unwell during a scramble, then stopped in place, moved twice, realized that the situation was not good, and lay helplessly on the court, covering his face with his hands.

The team has already made early substitution adjustments due to Kachulanis being sent off, and they are unable to continue the game, which means that the team has to make adjustments to non-combat attrition.

The close-up of the live director is given to the head coach of the Greek team, Santos, whose weathered old face is easy to read - helpless!

Kachulanis' two yellows and one red have put a huge constraint on their side in terms of adjustment, and now Mitroglu is unable to continue the game.

Santos sighed as his brain raced at high speed, figuring out how to make adjustments.

After about five seconds, he turned around and pulled his assistant to explain a few words.

The injured Mitroglou limped off the pitch and Samaris, wearing the number 22 jersey, stood on the sidelines, waiting to play.

The 25-year-old Samaris, who is tall, defensively strong and covers a wide area. Yang 5 commentator He Wei reported to the national fans the personal technical characteristics of Samaris, who came off the bench, and then changed his voice: "It seems that the core tactical idea of the Greek team Santos is to defend comprehensively, leaving only one Samaras in front as the fulcrum of the counterattack." ”

Commentator Gong Lei tapped his head and talked about the problems that the Greek team may encounter next: "The Greek team has changed a large number of defensive players, which is a huge test for their counterattack, or rather...... In this extremely unfavorable situation, the head coach Santos has no hope of winning and is ...... It was the only pursuit of the Greek team in the second half!"

In fact, Santos is also forced to be helpless, Tang Zheng's personal ability is super strong, and if there are too many offensive players left in the case of one less person to fight, it will lead to holes on the defensive end, and Tang Zheng happens to be an offensive organizer who is good at finding defensive loopholes.

In many cases, you can even make a final decision through excellent personal ability!

Other Chinese players also have their own characteristics, such as Wu Sanshi, Gao Lin and Sun Jingbo, who had a stunning first half.

But only Tang Zheng can put pressure on Santos, so in order to avoid conceding goals, he chooses to defend conservatively.

In the next game, as Santos guessed, Tang Zheng participated in the attack more and more, and the opportunity to take the ball and face the goal directly began to increase.

Breaking through dense defense has always been a worldwide problem.

Long-range shots and set-pieces were important means of breaking down dense defences, but the Greeks did a good job of not fouling directly in front of goal.

The Chinese team has won a lot of corner kicks, but unfortunately the quality of the penalty is not good, and Tang Zheng, who has a strong ability to fight for the header, is closely guarded by the Greek team, even if he grabs the landing point, he cannot threaten the goalkeeper Canezis to guard the goal.

In addition, Canezis was in hot form, making high saves to resist and keep the goal intact.

This situation continued until the end of the game, and the score, which Chinese fans were most concerned about, did not change in any way.

0：0

One point for each side!

At the moment when referee Aguilar blew the whistle at the end of the game, Tang Zheng covered his face with his hands helplessly, he once thought that the team would easily beat the Greek team to get three points and advance to the qualification with one more player.

But the result is very realistic, and it is a blow to the head.

This is true whether it is the Chinese fans in the field or the Chinese fans in front of the TV.

Who would have thought that the Chinese team, which had the advantage of the field and played one more person, would draw the Greek team?
