Xu Zhixin scored his first goal of this World Cup, and he also scored his second goal in two World Cups. This goal helped China beat Sweden 2-1 and qualified two rounds ahead of schedule. Now the Chinese team is competing for the first place in the group, and if they can get the first place, then they will face the weaker Switzerland in the round of 16, and if only second, then they will face the stronger France.

In the third round of the group stage, China's opponent was Wales, who only needed a draw to secure Uruguay's qualification. However, as in the case of the Chinese team, they do not want to meet France in the round of 16.

Both teams fielded their main players in the game, and Wales' number one star, 33-year-old Bale, scored a goal just nine minutes into the game to give Wales the lead. But in the 37th minute of the game, Zhang Shujie's shot in exchange for a corner kick for the Chinese team, Chen Zihua was sent into the penalty area, Li Muqian nodded the ball, and Liang Xiran's header at the back point broke the net, scoring his first goal in World Cup history, and also brought the two teams back to the same running line.

In the first half, both sides scored one goal each, and in the second half, the Chinese team relented, but in the 57th minute of the game, Zhang Shujie was unexpectedly injured.

Everyone knows that Zhang Shujie played with an injury in this World Cup, which affected his performance somewhat, and now that he is injured again, no one knows how long he will be injured. In the midst of this fear, China was scored another goal by Wales, this time by Kanu, and Wales, who were leading the score, saw hope of winning.

But before the final whistle, substitute Lin Li stood up, and after Li Mu's shot was saved, he scored a clever follow-up shot three meters in front of the goal, rewriting the score to 2:2. At this time, there were less than thirty seconds left before the end of the race.

In the end, the two teams drew 2:2, and the Chinese team accumulated seven points with two wins and one draw in three games, and advanced to the round of 16 as the group leader, and their opponent in the round of 16 was Switzerland.

Secretary Zhang's injury report has also come out, it is not serious, but he will miss the game against Switzerland. If the Chinese team can successfully break into the quarterfinals, then Zhang Shujie can make a comeback. Fortunately, Switzerland's strength is not strong, otherwise the Chinese team would still be in a lot of trouble.

Switzerland feel lucky because their defence will be under much less pressure. Although there is still Li Mu, Li Mu's thighs are also closed, and in the three group games, Li Mu has not dared to do his best, because he is afraid that his injury will worsen and he will not even be able to play.

That's why Switzerland has no fear, thinking that the threat of the Chinese team on the offensive side has been greatly reduced, and the Chinese team's midfield and backfield are not neat, there is no Xu Ziyi, no Zhao Wenkang, no Yan Tao, and no Ma Junqiang, and Tang Ling had some discomfort in his thigh muscles at the end of the last round of the game with Wales.

Switzerland were looking for a miracle in this game, and they did threaten twice, but one was saved by Liao Dongyuan and the other by Liang Xiran and Li Yongxuan. In the sixty-fourth minute of the game, Chen Zihua controlled the ball in the middle of the field to get rid of the encirclement of the other two people, and after highlighting the encirclement, he ran with the ball for more than 20 meters, and finally rubbed his right foot and rubbed the ball to Li Mu on the right side of the penalty area.

1:0! Li Mu used his second goal in this World Cup and his twelfth total goal in the history of the World Cup to help the Chinese team take the lead. Li Mu, who has a closed thigh, can still make great contributions to the Chinese team on the offensive end.

But near the end of the match, Li Mu and Rodriguez collided together, and both fell to the ground and couldn't get up. Rodriguez returned to the court after treatment, but Li Mu couldn't hold on anymore and had no choice but to replace him with Xiao Feng.

Fortunately, the score of 1:0 remained until the end of the game. Li Mu's injury is not so serious after diagnosis, the key is that he did not touch his old injury, which is a very lucky thing, otherwise Li Mu will not be able to play at all in the quarterfinals and Portugal.

Today's Portugal no longer has Ronaldo, Ronaldo originally planned to participate in the last World Cup, but he was unfortunately injured before the start of the game and could not come with the team, and Portugal's strength will be greatly reduced. Although they have stars such as Andre Silva and Bernardo Silva, most people are still optimistic about the Chinese team.

Zhang Shujie, who returned from injury, returned to the starting lineup, and he and Li Mu once again formed a double-striker. The first goal in the game was the Chinese team, and the player who scored the goal was Zhang Shujie.

Huang Yu played with Xu Zhixin on the left side, and then Huang Yu crossed, Zhang Shujie pressed Guerrero and pushed the ball into the far corner, 1:0! Zhang Shujie also scored his sixteenth goal in the history of the World Cup, tying Klose in the overall scorer list, if he can score another goal, Klose will be the title of World Cup scorer king.

Moreover, Zhang Shujie's sixteen goals only took three World Cups, and Klose used four times, in terms of efficiency, Zhang Shujie is obviously higher, and the goals are more diverse, which Kroos can't compare.

Zhang Shujie's goal also allowed the Chinese team to walk into the dressing room with a one-goal advantage in the first half. At the beginning of the second half, the camera showed Ronaldo in the stands, and the 37-year-old Ronaldo did not look old at all. Obviously, he pays special attention to his appearance, and he is very well maintained, and he is still a veritable rich and handsome.

In the second half, the Chinese team expanded the score again, this time it was Li Mu. In the 71st minute, Li Mu rewrote the score to 2:0 with a strong shot 20 meters from the goal outside the penalty area, and one foot has stepped into the door of the semifinals.

Chinese fans began to celebrate, for this Portugal team that lost Cristiano Ronaldo, it is difficult to come back from two goals behind. But the unexpected happened again, less than five minutes after Li Mu scored, Zhang Shujie was injured again, this time it was Guerrero who kicked him, kicked his right ankle, and Zhang Shujie could only be forced to leave the field again.

The commentator said: "Zhang Shujie was injured in this Cup, and now he has been injured twice, I don't know if he can return to the field this time." ”

This is also a concern for all Chinese fans, in this Portugal game, Andre Silva pulled a goal back in the 84th minute, but to no avail, the Chinese team still defeated Portugal 2:1 and advanced to the semi-finals. It's just that Zhang Shujie's injury will not be known until the next day at the earliest.
