The Chinese fans at the St. Petersburg stadium were completely stunned, and it was clear that they had not yet accepted the result.

From a two-goal lead to a draw, the huge sense of disparity is hard to accept.

The Belgian fans were excited like children, celebrating the national team's equaliser.

They seemed to see a repeat of the 1/8 finals, and the national team finally completed a super reversal before the end of the game after two goals, beating Japan 3:2!

It is undeniable that the third- and fourth-place finals cannot be compared to the finals, and are not even as important as the semi-finals.

But if Belgium win the game, they will make history!

Therefore, this game is a must for Belgium.

From two goals down to an equaliser, the motivation for the team was clear, so the Belgian fans in the stands had a lot of confidence in the team.

Victory!

It's the final result of the 3rd and 4th place finals!

None of the Chinese players given by the live broadcast had normal expressions, including the captain Tang Zheng, whose brows were furrowed and his face was heavy.

However, as the captain, Tang Zheng did not let his mood be low, he knew what he should do now, so he quickly adjusted his mentality, faced his teammates, and his tone was inflammatory: "Hey~ Brothers, don't be discouraged...... We haven't reached the point of losing, our pre-match plan was to draw with Belgium and fall behind Belgium, and now we are drawn, there is no need to worry at all, as long as we follow the tactical arrangement guided by Lippi to finish the game, I believe it will be us who will have the last laugh!"

Speaking of this, Tang Zheng's voice was an octave higher: "This game is the last game of Lippi's coaching career, so we can't leave him with regrets, don't forget, we will surpass the stick and become the national team with the best results in the World Cup for Asian teams to win such a meaningful game! In the first half, we can lead Belgium by two goals, and we can still lead Belgium again after being equalized!"

Every word Tang Zheng said was sonorous and energetic, with an indescribable self-confidence, so players who were naturally enthusiastic were easily instigated by him.

Lippi, who was still worried about the team's morale, breathed a sigh of relief instantly, and he could keenly observe that the players' low morale was inspired by Tang Zheng, although it was not said to be back to the best state, but at least he could wake up twelve points in the next game time.

Over time, a team that has stabilized the morale of the military will surely return to its best form.

In addition, Belgium, who equalized the score, will also be properly recovered, and will no longer be as desperate as when the score was behind.

The reason why a strong team is called a strong team is because they know how to judge the situation.

It is possible to step up the attack and score the winning goal in one go, but at the same time there is a risk of conceding a goal.

After all, the Chinese team has players with very strong personal abilities such as Tang Zheng, Lu Liang and Sun Jingbo, and if they are not careful, they are likely to fall into a catastrophe.

If there is another deficit, the team will not necessarily have a chance to equalise again.

The game came to the second half and everything should be done carefully.

When the game restarted, the Chinese team played very carefully, controlling the rhythm of the game under Tang Zheng's deliberate control, but from the two-goal lead to the equalizer, the players were somewhat nervous, and the control of the football soon changed hands.

However, Belgium considered the possibility of conceding goals, and the number of offensive inputs was not as good as the score behind, so Belgium's attack did not threaten Yan Junling to guard the goal.

When the score came to a draw, both sides of the game played very cautiously, and the scene became stalemate, South Korea's SBS Sports TV commentator Park Zhenhui frowned: "Belgium's desire to win is not strong enough, now they should strengthen their offensive and beat the Chinese team in one go!"

Yang 5 commentator He Wei said after the Chinese team gained a firm foothold: "After this hard time of steady and steady play, the Chinese team has adapted to Belgium's offensive style of play, and the defense has twice the result with half the effort, but the defense is not the solution, I hope that Lippi can think of better tactical adjustments, make changes as soon as possible, increase the efficiency of counterattacks, and only by scoring goals first can we ensure that the Chinese team is in the initiative!"

"He Wei's point of view is very correct, because only the lead can establish an undefeated, and as long as the defense is solid and waiting for the opportunity to counterattack, I believe that the Chinese team will win the game in the end. Commentator Xu Yanglang said: "Even if there is no way to score first, don't worry, after all, the overall strength of Belgium is significantly stronger than the Chinese team...... It's often reserved for those who are prepared!"

British Sky commentator Andy Gray shook his head when he saw Eden Hazard's in-cut shot wide of the left-hand post: "Belgium's attacking aggression has dropped significantly, and they have given the Chinese team too much time to breathe. ”

As soon as the words fell, Martin Taylor smiled: "Belgium's equalizer has a certain amount of chance, it is very difficult to eat the Chinese team in one go, the overall strength of the Chinese team is not comparable to the Japanese team, if all the members of the attack do not score and the Chinese team plays a high-quality and rapid counterattack, it will outweigh the losses, the Belgians chose very correctly, Tang and Sun, Lu's connection is very terrifying, I believe this is Roberto Martinez made a decision after careful consideration." ”

When the game came to 60 minutes, the Chinese team made the first adjustment of the game, and the veteran Hao Junmin replaced He Chao.

The intention of this substitution is clear – to increase midfield control.

Belgium coach Martinez was deep in thought from the coaching area, thinking that Lippi's tweaks would be inclined to strengthen the defence, but ...... but chose to attack.

Hao Junmin, who plays for Schalke 04, has retreated with age, but his offensive organization is quite good, his ability to play the ball is extremely strong, and his overall view is also very good, which means that Lippi's adjustment is to strengthen the attack.

It shouldn't be!

Martinez couldn't figure out what kind of medicine was being sold in the Lippi gourd, so he had to focus on his own prescription.

Three minutes later, Belgium made the second change of the game.

Dembele replaces Carrasco.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa—"

With Dembele on the pitch, De Bruyne's position was much earlier, closer to Hazard, Lukaku and Mertens, so the Belgian attack brought more and more pressure to the Chinese team's defense, and the Chinese fans in the stands subconsciously exclaimed one after another.

Belgium manager Martinez's intention to adjust is very obvious, which is to use Dembele's movement to make up for the lack of attacking and defensive in midfield, freeing up De Bruyne and allowing him to focus more on attacking.

In the 66th minute, De Bruyne got the ball and turned around to wipe Li Kui to the top of the arc of the penalty area, Tang Zheng made up the defense in place, flew to block, and the football hit Tang Zheng's right leg on the inside of the face bone and bounced to the middle circle arc.

Yervain couldn't get off the pitch under pressure from Kompany, the ball was taken over by Alderweireld and Belgium attacked again.

The ball came to De Bruyne again after a series of passes, and his fake shot deceived Tang Zheng, but Lukaku, who was diagonally inserted into the right rib of the penalty area, stopped the ball a little wider, and Yan Junling attacked decisively and pounced the ball under him.

Yan Junling, who controlled the football, was not in a hurry to kick the football, he consciously chose to slow down the pace, but in less than two seconds, he saw Tang Zheng waving for the ball.

According to the tactical deployment of head coach Lippi, as long as Tang Zheng wants the ball, he must be unconditionally satisfied.

So, Yan Junling threw the ball vigorously to Tang Zheng, who was pulled to the left side, Mertens didn't think much about it, and pounced directly on Tang Zheng.

Tang Zheng seemed to have long eyes in the back of his head, he first stuck Mertens in the position he grabbed, then stopped the ball forward with his chest, and then picked up the falling football behind him with the instep of his right foot, and then turned his body 90 degrees to the left rear with his left foot as the axis.

Mertens is less than 1.7 meters tall, and he was stuck by Tang Zheng, who is 1.94 meters tall, and he couldn't see anything at all, and his eyes were dark.

In addition, Tang Zheng is tall and strong, and Mertens can't squeeze Tang Zheng, so he is blocked by Tang Zheng.

When the light appeared in front of Mertens's eyes, it was too late to see the football appear above his head and then subconsciously jump, he could only watch Tang Zheng, who had completed the turn, stretch out his foot to stop the football.

"Beautiful pick-and-roll!" Mertens was played by Tang Zheng!"

But Mertens didn't stop where he was, but turned around quickly, because he saw Dembele pounce on Tang Zheng who stopped the ball with a fierce attitude.

Based on Tang Zheng's outstretched foot stop and Dembele's extended foot, Dembele seems more likely to play football.

If Dembele breaks the football, it will be a great opportunity to counter-attack!

However, Tang Zheng didn't stop the ball at all, but kicked the falling football with his raised right foot and picked the ball up.

"Pick the ball again!"

British Sky commentator Martin Taylor shouted.

"Whoa—"

With the loud chant that sounded in the St. Petersburg Arena, Tang Zheng flashed past Dembele, who couldn't brake, and then took a step forward with his left foot, and on his right heel was a long pass with a half-volley.

The whole action is done in one go, which is very ornamental.

And the most important thing is...... Precise passing.

The football was like a GPS navigation system, and it flew diagonally from the left side of the Chinese team's defense towards Sun Jingbo, who was inserted at high speed against the offensive sideline on the right side.

※※※

"Wonderful long pass!"

British Sky Commentator Andy Grey shouted: "Don's delicate missile!"

"Whoa—"

The Chinese fans in the stands raised their arms excitedly.

Countless Chinese fans sitting in front of the TV stood up suddenly, their eyes fixed on Sun Jingbo, who appeared in the lower right of the broadcast screen.

Tang Zheng's long pass after picking the ball accurately found Sun Jingbo who was running at high speed, and the latter took advantage of the situation to lead the inside line, Vertonghen's speed was not strong, and Sun Jingbo was squeezed behind him by Sun Jingbo, who accelerated twice.

With a yellow card on his back, Vertonghen didn't dare to foul behind him.

Coupled with Kompany's reinforcement in place, Vertonghen, who did not foul, slowed down and then chased after Sun Jingbo again.

In the face of Kompany's defense, Sun Jingbo sank his left shoulder during the ball and kicked the ball with the outside of his left foot.

But Sun Jingbo did not kick the football with the outside of his left instep, but shot it falsely.

"Pedal bike!"

Sun Jingbo stared at the ground with his left foot, and the huge reaction force caused his center of gravity to change, turning to the right, and then the outside of his right foot turned towards the ball, turning the ball in the opposite direction of Kompany's movement.

Sun Jingbo, who was chasing the football, looked up at the position of goalkeeper Courtois and adjusted his footsteps at the same time.

Obviously, this is a precursor to a long shot!

Kompany, who was shaken away by Sun Jingbo, gritted his teeth and took a big step forward, stretched out his left leg, and tried to block Sun Jingbo's long-range shot about 28 meters away from the goal on the left rib of the defense.

However...... Sun Jingbo picked up his right foot and did not shoot, but used the arch of his right foot to push the ball hard, and the ball rolled against the turf from under the crotch of Kompany, which stretched out his left leg, to the right rib of the penalty area.

The on-site director switched cameras, and He Wei, the central 5 commentator, suddenly raised the volume: "- Ye Erfan!"

"Ahh

The Chinese fans at the St. Petersburg Arena were completely frenzied, hysterically creating a huge shout like a tsunami.

Yerfan ran diagonally straight from the left side of the arc of the penalty area to the right rib of the penalty area, and Belgian goalkeeper Courtois saw that Alderweireld was limited by space and seemed powerless, so he chose to abandon the goal at the first time and block Yerfan's shooting angle.

Sun Jingbo's direct pass was just right, and Yerfan, who ran to the right rib of the penalty area about 15 meters away from the goal, did not make any adjustments, he picked up his right foot in the run, Alderweireld fell to the ground and blocked the tackle, and goalkeeper Courtois fell to the left side of his body, that is, the near corner of the goal.

"Shoot—"

At the same time, the hearts of the Belgian fans in the stands were in their throats, and those who were timid even closed their eyes and did not dare to look directly.

Yerfan's right foot did not take advantage of the time gap between Alderweireld and Courtois, who fell to the ground, but used his toes to rub the bottom of the ball very smartly.

So, the ball slowly flew up in the desperate eyes of the Belgians, past the fallen Alderweireld and Courtois, and then fell with a clear parabola towards the already unguarded goal......

“Gooooooooooooooooal——”

German Sky commentator Marcel Leif's voice is long.

"The ball is in! The teenager Ye Erfan received Sun Jingbo's pass to complete the brace!" He Wei, the commentator of the Central 5 of the Central Committee, shouted passionately: "The Chinese team exceeded the score again, 3:2!!"

The Chinese players on the field, on the bench, and in the warm-up area ran to Yeerfan one after another, venting the huge pressure release that exceeded the score again.

Head coach Lippi was also very excited in the frenzied atmosphere, hugging and celebrating with his assistants Madaloni and Li Tie, and even ignored the glasses that fell off.

The Belgians' unwillingness and frustration can be clearly seen from the long shots given by the live broadcaster, but no one pays attention to Belgium who conceded the goal at this time.

Immediately, the live director gave a slow-motion replay of the entire goal of the Chinese team.

From Yan Junling's hand-tossed ball to Ye Erfan's goal, the whole process was only thirteen seconds, which can be called a textbook-like fast counterattack.

However, the most impressive thing is Tang Zheng's semi-volley long pass after picking the ball past Mertens and Dembele in a row, which ensures the quality of the pass in the case of full ornamentation.

In the words of Andy Gray, a British sky commentator, it is the artist of the green field.
