Chapter 1183: The First Half is almost over
The lower right corner of Neymar is the lower left corner of Ma Junqiang. He judged the direction of the ball, lowered his center of gravity, stretched out his arms, and pounced sideways, his body rushed towards the flying ball like an arrow, ten centimeters away from the goal line, and his left palm was firmly slapping the ball.
Ma Junqiang was overjoyed, his arm exerted force, and he lifted the ball out hard. The ball rolled down the outside of the post and out of the baseline.
"Ma Junqiang saved the ball! He saved Neymar's penalty kick outside the bottom line! It was so good! Ma Junqiang saved the Chinese team! He blocked one of Brazil's best chances to score! Now the score on the field is still 1:0! The Chinese team is temporarily ahead!" He Wei was so excited that his voice was a little hoarse.
Xu Yang also said with a smile: "Ma Junqiang's judgment is very accurate! When Neymar shot the goal, he pounced without any hesitation and blocked the ball out of the gate." ”
Ma Junqiang was also very happy, he got up from the ground, clenched his fists and roared, Tang Ling ran over and hugged him from behind, and raised his arms and shouted. If someone just turned on the TV now, they would still think that he had scored a goal when they saw Tang Ling's appearance.
Chinese fans also cheered from the stands. Wang Shihan patted his heart, and said softly: "It's really scary, but fortunately I didn't enter." ”
Zhou Ying beside her was no better, and after taking a deep breath, she exhaled a long breath.
Chen Hui and Shen Hao kept applauding Ma Junqiang, and Shen Hao also said loudly: "Well done!
Neymar was a little frustrated, he kicked the air in anger and then stood in the box with his waist tucked in. Tite was even more frantically half-kneeling on the ground, slapping the turf violently, and scolding, "Damn, this is fucking hell!
On the bench on the other side, An Rong was laughing happily, he didn't say anything. To tell the truth, An Rong thought that he might be tied when he saw the Brazilian team get a penalty, which is not to say that he doesn't believe in Ma Junqiang, but because the penalty is really difficult to save, but Ma Junqiang did not disappoint him after all, and continued to let the Chinese team lead with a score of 1:0.
After the penalty was not scored, Brazil had to take a corner. But this is not what Tite wants to see, he prefers to see that after the penalty, the Chinese team kicks off in the center circle, but unfortunately Ma Junqiang's outstanding performance frustrates Tite's wishes.
Coutinho's corner kick went into the penalty area, and Yan Tao grabbed the first point. So far, all the crosses of the Brazilian team into the penalty area have not been able to reach the heads of their teammates, and they have been snatched away by the Chinese team with the first point.
Yan Tao's header went to the outside of the penalty area, Chen Zihua stuck in front of Marcelo, and gave the ball to Xu Zhixin on the left, because of this corner kick opportunity, the players of the Brazilian team are pressed higher, and the backfield is relatively empty, which is almost a problem left by all teams when attacking corners, and now the ball is here in the Chinese team, which will also be a good opportunity for the Chinese team to counterattack.
Xu Zhixin stopped the ball, Alves quickly withdrew back, and pulled Xu Zhixin when chasing back, Xu Zhixin's body also paused a little, fortunately it did not affect the ball, Huang Yu ran up from him, and William followed Huang Yu to withdraw. Xu Zhixin passed the ball, and Huang Yu stopped the ball on the sideline.
At this time, Huang Yu had already crossed the halfway line, but he didn't stop too well when he stopped the ball, so he had to make an adjustment, delaying for about a second, and it was this second that made the Brazilian team's defense retreat several meters away, and the players who were originally a little far apart became not so loose with each other.
Huang Yu gave the ball to Chen Zihua, Chen Zihua knocked it to Zhang Shujie, Zhang Shujie made a heel to Zhao Wenkang, and he ran to the front court around Thiago Silva, and Zhao Wenkang gave the ball back to him.
A simple one-two pass allowed Zhang Shujie to break through Thiago Silva's defence without much effort, and he continued to move forward with the ball, Casemiro and Paulinho retreated deep and were about to reach the backline, and their original midfield position was temporarily occupied by the retreating Willian and Coutinho.
Zhang Shujie knocked the ball to Tang Ling on the right side, Tang Ling saw the gap on the left side of the Brazilian team, and passed the ball directly to Li Mu at the back point without stopping. Tang Ling's pass was a little closer to the goal, Alisson attacked, slapped the ball out with one palm, Coutinho stopped the ball and passed to Alves on the right.
The Chinese team's counterattack did not succeed, but it should also be noted that Tang Ling's passing idea was still very good, that is, he passed a little wider, and Alisson destroyed his pass. Now that the ball is at the feet of the Brazilian players, their attack is about to start again.
Alves passed the ball to William, he bypassed Xu Zhixin, William handed the ball to him, but Huang Yu blocked the ball out of the sideline, and Brazil got a throw-in.
Tite looked at the time, it was already the thirty-seventh minute, the first half was about to end, the score was still 1:0, and the Chinese team was ahead. In terms of possession and shots on goal for both teams, Brazil had the most time, but the score was that they were behind. Football is like this, not whoever has more time on the ball and who has more shots on goal will definitely win, especially when encountering teams with strong defensive ability and like to play fast attack, they often don't need much time to possess the ball, and only need to succeed in two or three counterattacks to score. Unfortunately, the Chinese team is such a team.
Alves threw the ball to William, William protected the ball and wanted to pass it to Coutinho, Xu Zhixin, who was sticking to his side, saw his thoughts, moved his body, and wanted to get stuck between him and Coutinho, but William suddenly buckled the ball and dunked the ball from Xu Zhixin's other side, Xu Zhixin subconsciously turned around to block, and instinctively opened his arms, put his hand on William's body, and his body also hit him, knocking him to the ground, and the referee blew Xu Zhixin's foul without hesitation.
"Xu Zhixin opened his arms when he hit someone, which cannot be regarded as a reasonable collision, and the referee's penalty is still very accurate. ”
Willian sent a quick free-kick and he passed straight to Jesus in front of him, who controlled the ball and took a few steps, observing his team-mate's position and thinking about who to pass to.
Xu Yang said: "The rapid counterattack is really not what the Brazilian team is good at, you look at the free kick that Willian sent just now, if it is replaced by the Chinese team, the ball may hit the penalty area." Because when William passed the ball, Huang Yu hadn't had time to fully return to his position. ”
Coutinho, Casemiro and other teammates who are closer to him are followed by players from the Chinese team, and Neymar, who occupies the middle, is also sandwiched between Liang Xiran and Yan Tao, Jesus can't find a better teammate for a while, Alves behind him shouted to him and gave him a reminder, he looked back, pulled the ball back, and passed it to Alves.
