"What an artist!"

He Wei, the commentator of CCTV 5, looked at the slow-motion replay given by the broadcast screen, was fascinated, and shouted passionately: "If it is Tang Zheng's planned action to pick the ball past Mertens with his back, then Dembele who picked the ball past the top grab can only be said to be a knee-jerk reaction, but ...... The accurate non-stop semi-volley pass can only be said to be the plot that exists in the e-sports game, the field of vision is too broad, and the passing is too accurate!

"The Chinese team's rapid counterattack is really amazing, it took only thirteen seconds from Yan's hand throwing the ball to Ye Erfan's goal, which is completely textbook-like fast counterattack, and Tang's pick ball pass and semi-volley long pass are the soul of the Chinese team's entire rapid counterattack, incredible god-level play, and can even be said to be a juggling performance that God can do. ”

German Sky commentator Marcel Leif was in a state of excitement and hysterical chanting.

"Whoa—"

The Chinese and neutral fans in the St. Petersburg Arena were very engaged, almost frantically engaged in the creation of a frenzied atmosphere, and the frenzied atmosphere detonated the whole stadium.

In the frenzied atmosphere, the Belgians looked very miserable.

Judging from the scene, Belgium completely suppressed the Chinese team, and even once made the Chinese team unable to dribble the ball through the 40-meter area of their side.

However, many times the game process was very different from what was imagined, and Belgium, which had an absolute advantage, failed to take advantage of the victory to chase and overtake the score, but was used by the Chinese team to use a textbook-like rapid counterattack to exceed the score again.

Of course, the Chinese team's goal was a big accident.

Tang Zheng's continuous picks are already very ornamental, the semi-volley long pass without stopping the ball is more than 50 meters, the power and angle are perfect, and the advance is completely suitable for Sun Jingbo's sprint, and Sun Jingbo is very resolute and decisive when he takes the ball forward.

If there is a problem in one of the links, the goal of the Chinese team to overtake the score will no longer exist.

The Chinese team overtook the score, and the players were very excited, but the captain Tang Zheng was always vigilant, and he pulled his teammates when the referee Cunha reminded his national team teammates to control the celebration time: "Brothers, now is not the time to get carried away, don't forget that we have had the experience of leading by two goals to a draw before, so what we need to do now is to continue to concentrate on the game, wait for the opportunity to counterattack quickly, and then win the game in one fell swoop!"

"Do you have faith?"

Tang Zheng's voice suddenly rose an octave.

The voices of his teammates were also several degrees higher, especially Ye Erfan, who scored twice in this game, and his voice was fierce: "Have confidence!"

Immediately, the on-site director switched the camera to the Belgian players who were ready to kick off.

Eden Hazard, Romelu Lukaku, Kevin De Bruyne, Mertens, Witsel and other players all looked ugly and were obviously still haunted by the goal they had just conceded.

In the first five minutes of Ye Erfan's goal, it was difficult for the Chinese team to even pass the half, but ...... But taking advantage of an opportunity that is not a chance to exceed the score again, this huge psychological gap, it is always a little uncomfortable to accept.

Looking at the Chinese players who walked towards their own half, Yang 5 commentator He Wei was emotional: "The Chinese team is the result of the efforts of all the players to take the lead again, but this is not enough, our players still need to play 100% or even 12% combat effectiveness in the remaining game time, Belgium has the ability to score two goals in a row to possible equalize again, so I hope the boys on the field can wake up the spirit of 12 points and extend the score lead to the end of the game!"

※※※

Belgium fell behind again, and manager Martinez turned his head to look at the warm-up area, looking at it several times in a row and not thinking of a better substitution.

Two substitutions have already been made, which means that the third substitution must be made carefully, and it is possible that there will be no substitutions when the accident occurs, and the Chinese team has only made an adjustment, leaving more cards, which is not conducive to the next game.

Martinez couldn't come up with the best plan for a long time, and had no choice but to seek help from the coaching staff.

Brainstorming.

In the blink of an eye, the game came to seventy-five minutes, the physical critical point of this football game.

Belgium, who were behind in the score, wanted to equalize quickly by strengthening their attack, but due to the Chinese team and their efficient and rapid counterattacks, the number of attacking players was always limited, so it did not pose a direct threat to the Chinese team who retreated with all their strength.

"Whoa—"

The frenetic atmosphere at the St. Petersburg Arena is full of enthusiasm, especially among the Chinese fans, who are cheering higher and higher under the leadership of the 'Dragon Team Fan Club', making the stadium feel like boiling water.

A minute later, in a frenzied atmosphere, referee Cunha took advantage of a dead ball to blow his whistle and point his right hand to the side of the stand.

The on-site director gave the fourth official on the sidelines for the first time, and he held up the substitution electronic card.

It was captain Tang Zheng's timely clearance to defuse Belgium's attack. ”

Yang 5 commentator He Wei's voice changed: "The Chinese team made the second substitution adjustment in the whole game, Wu Sanshi is ready to come off the bench, and the player he wants to replace is Ye Erfan, a young player who scored twice in this game?"

"That's right, Lippi's substitution idea is very clear, when the offensive efficiency of the Chinese team began to decline, send the running, faster Wu Sanshi, the teenager Ye Erfan can be said to do his best in this game, it is inevitable that the physical strength is a little unbearable, I hope he can better strengthen physical training in his future career and play a full 90 minutes of the game. ”

Commentator Xu Yang looked at Ye Erfan who was given the broadcast screen.

Tang Zheng took the initiative to run to Ye Erfan, who was strolling outside the court, and hugged him hard: "This game played very well, go down and rest well, and wait for the moment when we triumph!"

Ye Erfan was excited in a frenzied atmosphere: "Brother Zheng, we will win the third place, right?"

"Yes. Tang Zheng held Ye Erfan's raised right hand very firmly: "We will win the game!"

It is worth mentioning that Yerfan, who was substituted, did not rush to complete the substitution handover, but consciously delayed the game, so that the Belgian players complained to the referee Cunha.

Seeing this scene, He Wei smiled: "In addition to the nineteen-year-old Yeerfan's superb sense of smell and superb shooting skills in front of the goal, he also has a surprisingly clear mind, and uses a reasonable consumption of game time to disrupt the opponent's rhythm when the Belgian attack plays a sense of rhythm, which is also the last contribution of the teenager Yerfan to the Chinese team in this game!"

Vertonghen threw the ball from the touchline, Lukaku couldn't control the ball under pressure from Tang Zheng and Zhang Linpeng, and the ball flew to the right side of the Chinese defense, and Li Kui headed the ball before Mertens.

Belgium, which organized the attack again, can no longer find the smooth feeling before, coupled with Wu Sanshi's appearance on the field to increase the Chinese team's ability to counterattack in the frontcourt, Belgian coach Martinez is afraid.

It wasn't until the eightieth minute that Martinez made up his mind to step up his attack.

※※※

Belgium, who stepped up their attack, created shot after shot, but China's head coach Lippi did not make any changes to the lineup.

Clearly, he's adapting to change.

In the 83rd minute, Belgium coach Martinez finally couldn't wait, and he made the third substitution of the game.

Marouane Fellaini replaces Mertens.

Although Fellaini is in the midfield, Martinez did not send him to strengthen the control of the middle, but to let him into the Chinese team's penalty area and form a double shot with Lukaku.

With more than 80 minutes played, Belgium had less and less time left, and all Martinez could think of was the tactic that United manager Jose Mourinho often used, using Fellaini's superior ability to create chances when his team was at a loss for attack.

"The Chinese team should be careful of Fellaini in defense!"

Yang 5 commentator He Wei was worried.

The Belgian attack followed with a show of Fellaini's absolute dominance in the aerial duel as he pushed back with a header from Lee Kui and Ko Junyi, and De Bruyne followed up with a non-stop volley.

Fortunately, De Bruyne did not adjust the crosshair in order to grab time, otherwise Yan Junling would likely be tested.

Immediately, the Chinese team made the third substitution adjustment of the game, and Liu Yiming replaced Sun Jingbo, who had one assist in this game.

The intention of this substitution is very obvious, to strengthen the defensive height in the penalty area.

"In the eighty-sixth minute of the game, all three cards of the Chinese team were played, and there were still four minutes left in the regular game, I hope the Chinese players on the field can hold on and maintain the score lead until the end of the game!"

The guest commentator Xu Yang was very apprehensive.

Belgium, who launched the attack, played very directly, using two wings or a long pass directly from the back to find Lukaku or Fellaini two high points.

At first, the effect was still very good, but with the tall and strong Liu Yiming coming off the bench, the defensive pressure of the Chinese team was much less.

In other words, in addition to the three central defenders Zhang Linpeng, Gao Zhunyi and Liu Yiming, as well as Tang Zheng, the regular defensive players in the Chinese team's penalty area, even if Lukaku and Fellaini are super capable of fighting for the top, there is no way to bring a substantial threat under the concerted efforts of Tang Zheng and other Chinese team defenders.

Belgium manager Martinez sees it, but there is nothing he can do about it right now.

Facing the Chinese team that put on an iron bucket formation at the last moment of the game time, even the world's top head coach has no choice.

Moreover, the Chinese team's iron bucket formation still comes from Lippi, and the tactical meticulousness is higher, and it is very difficult to crack and takes time.

However, as the game ticked by, the Belgian had less and less time left.

The best way to break down a dense defence is through long-range shots, set-pieces and high-quality crosses.

However, it is very difficult to shoot from a distance, because the Chinese team is full of people inside and outside the penalty area, and it is very difficult to fly to the corner of the goal over many obstacles.

In addition, the Chinese players paid attention to their defensive actions and did not give free kicks to the Belgians in dangerous positions at all.

As for the high-quality crosses, they have not appeared until now, so the Belgian fans in the stands are very anxious and completely unconfident as they were some time ago.

In the blink of an eye, the fourth official came to the sidelines and held up the electronic card with four minutes of stoppage time.

"Whoa—"

The Chinese fans in the stands were very excited, and the cheers were deafening, they knew that the game would end according to the current score, and the Chinese team would win the third place in the World Cup in Russia and create the best result for an Asian team in the World Cup!

Thinking of this, even the fans sitting in front of the TV became extremely excited, eager to devote themselves to the creation of a frenetic atmosphere on the spot.

In the first minute of stoppage time, Belgium took a long pass to hang it, and in addition to Lukaku and Fellaini, there were Kompany, Alderweireld and Witsel in the Chinese team's penalty area.

Apparently for the equaliser and recklessly.

The atmosphere was so frenetic that both Lippi and Martinez came to the edge of their respective coaches' command areas, their hands in their pockets, their eyes fixed on the game, and they didn't even realize that their upper bodies were reaching across the touchline.

De Bruyne's cross from about 25 meters from the baseline at 45 degrees on the right flank was blocked by Hao Junmin, and the ball, whose trajectory had changed, flew high and went out of the baseline with a clear parabola.

Corner kick!

Suddenly, the Chinese fans in the stands felt visibly nervous.

Romelu Lukaku, Marouane Fellaini, Alderweireld, Vincent Kompany, Chadley, Witsel and Vertonghen all poured into the Chinese penalty area, and if it weren't for the Chinese counter-attack, Hazard and Dembele would have been involved in the corner.

In the face of Belgium's seven-man corner kick attack, all 11 players of the Chinese team, including goalkeeper Yan Junling, participated in the defense in the penalty area, which is equivalent to saying that the small Chinese team gathered 18 players in the penalty area.

"You have to stand in a defensive position, watch the people, and at the same time you can't use unconventional defensive moves, otherwise you are likely to be caught by the referee, a penalty will be awarded, and the time will be less and less, and it is the Belgian who should be in a hurry. ”

Yang 5 commentator He Wei saw that the referee Cunha pulled Zhang Linpeng and Kompany aside respectively, and said worriedly.

The hearts of the Chinese fans at the St. Petersburg Arena are all in their throats, but the Belgian fans are no better, after all, it is easier to defend than to attack, as long as you stand in a defensive position and do not make mistakes, the success of the defense will not be far from ten.

De Bruyne whipped in a corner from the right, and Tang Zheng pressed Lukaku and Marouane Fellaini to push the ball back and fly it over the crossbar.

Corner kick!

Nearly two and a half minutes of stoppage time, there was a series of physical contact between the two players in the penalty area, so much so that referee Cunha had to blow the whistle in succession to signal the players on both sides to control their defensive movements.

By the time De Bruyne was ready to take a corner, it was half a minute later, and it was three minutes of stoppage time.

Yang 5 commentator He Wei's voice trembled obviously: "There is still the last minute of stoppage time, the victory is getting closer and closer, I believe that our players can withstand the pressure and maintain the lead of the score until the end of the game!"

The fans at the St. Petersburg Arena gradually forgot to make a sound in the frenzied atmosphere and kept their eyes fixed on the Chinese team's penalty area......

It is very likely that the winner will be decided in the next corner.
