"The referee blew the whistle and the second half began. The two sides exchanged venues, with the Chinese team attacking from right to left, and Costa Rica attacking from left to right. At present, the score is 2:0, the Chinese team is ahead, Zhang Shujie and Chen Zihua, who scored for the Chinese team, scored in the 29th and 40th minutes. ”

The Chinese team shrank back a little according to An Rong's instructions at halftime, and the ball is now in the backfield of the Chinese team, with four defenders passing to each other, and several midfielders are also relatively far behind, even Zhang Shujie and Li Mu are hovering near the center circle.

Costa Rica must attack, the Chinese team is actually luring them to play forward, Costa Rica's players also know that this is a game set by the Chinese team, but at this time they are behind the score, and if they want to enter the quarterfinals, they have to attack forward, even if they know that the Chinese team has dug a hole, they have to jump into it.

Costa Rica's three forwards pressed first, followed by midfielders. Liang Xiran, who was dragged to the last place in the Chinese team's backline, saw that Campbell was approaching, so he gave the ball to Huang Yu, and Huang Yu gave it to Chen Zihua in front, at this time Chen Zihua was forced by the other two to clamp, Xu Ziyi and Xiao Feng came to answer, Chen Zihua gave the ball to Xiao Feng with the first kick, but was cut off by Ruiz, fortunately Ruiz's broken ball did not reach the feet of his teammates, Huang Yu hurriedly came up to regain control of the ball.

He passed to Xiao Feng in front, Xiao Feng knocked Chen Zihua horizontally, Chen Zihua and Xu Ziyi made a small range of cooperation, and the former suddenly made a straight stopper, before plugging the ball, Zhang Shujie had started in advance, but Umana, who was guarding him, moved two steps in the opposite direction to start him, making Zhang Shujie in an offside position.

However, Chen Zihua's ball was not to be passed to Zhang Shujie in the offside position, but to Li Mu on the other side. Therefore, when the Costa Rican players just raised their hands to signal to the referee that Zhang Shujie was offside, they found that the Chinese team's No. 9 was not involved in the attack at all.

"Li Mu gets a one-on-one goal! Costa Rica will soon have to pay the price for their comeback!"

Pinto will be a little flustered, the team will dominate the attack from the start, but doing so will inevitably leave a wide space in the backfield, and the pace of the Chinese players will come into play.

Li Mu's instant acceleration overtook Duarte, successfully received Chen Zihua's pass, and dribbled the ball straight to the penalty area, Navas attacked, he ran to the big penalty area, and tried to block the angle of the goal to the minimum, but the piece above his head could not be sealed in any way.

Li Mu was about to make a hanging shot, and the third goal of the World Cup was beckoning to him. However, at this moment, Duarte, who was left behind him, suddenly fell to the ground with a sliding tackle, and Li Mu, who was about to shoot, was also shoveled to the ground by him.

"Toot!" the referee's whistle sounded, and he quickly ran towards Duarte, reaching for his breast pocket.

The Chinese fans at the scene seemed to be quiet for a second, and Ye Xiaotong exclaimed in fright when he saw this action: "He, he won't be hurt, right?"

Wang Shihan and Zhou Ying were also shocked, this back tackle was a malicious foul, and Duart's action just now was clearly aimed at people instead of the ball, Li Mu was really likely to be injured.

Wang Shihan said: "We don't know about this, I hope he's okay." ”

The referee stepped forward and gave Duarte a red card, which was undisputed, and Ruiz, as the captain, stepped forward to intercede: "Sir, can you give a lighter sentence? We are already two goals behind." ”

The referee said two words very harshly: "No!"

Duarte didn't say anything, and when he continued to make this move, he knew that he couldn't escape the punishment of the red card. Zhang Shujie walked up to Li Mu and helped him up: "Papaya, don't say you're injured." ”

Li Mu stood up and said, "Fortunately, he kicked the sole of his shoe, not my ankle." ”

"So you're not hurt?"

"Nope. ”

Chen Zihua came up and patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's okay." ”

Liu Jianhong said: "Duarte received a red card for Li Mu's malicious foul, the referee's penalty is not a problem, Li Mu has just approached the penalty area and is still a single knife, it is an absolute scoring opportunity, the red card is right." ”

Zhang Lu also said: "This action is too bad, it should be a red card! Fortunately, Li Mu was not kicked and injured." ”

Ben came here and was fine, but Yan Tao, who has always liked to stand up for his teammates, ran up and pushed Duarte and said, "You ****** looking for death, right?"

Duart was about to go out, but was pushed by Yan Tao like this, and fell to the ground with the momentum, Zhao Wenkang was quick and stood behind him to block him, otherwise Duart would just lie down like this, and the referee would probably think that Yan Tao's revenge would give another red card.

Chen Zihua hurriedly grabbed Yan Tao, and Ma Junqiang also came up and grabbed Yan Tao's neck: "Don't be stupid, Li Mu is fine, he is not injured." It's good that you help your teammates, but you can't be impulsive. ”

The referee pointed at Yan Tao and called him over, and his right hand touched his chest pocket again. Players such as Zhang Shujie and Li Mu said good things to the referee, but the Costa Rican players were encouraging the referee to give a red card.

The referee has his own scale, and he didn't receive the influence of the players on both sides, but just called Yan Tao: "Come here, hurry up." ”

Yan Tao didn't want to go up, Ma Junqiang said: "If you don't want to be punished, go quickly!"

Yan Tao had no choice but to walk over, and the referee took out a yellow card and showed it in front of Yan Tao's eyes. The players of the Chinese team breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately it was not a red card!

Liu Jianhong smiled bitterly: "This Yan Tao is still the same as before, he likes to come up when he sees his teammates being maliciously violated." It's not a bad thing to stand up for your teammates, but you have to be sensible. ”

"Hehe, that's why there was a saying before, saying that Yan Tao 'has the sensibility to be a captain, but he doesn't have the rationality to be a captain', and Ma Junqiang has done a good job at this point. Including the two vice captains of the team, Zhang Shujie and Li Mu, they also did a good job. ”

Pinto saw that he was punished by one person, and Yan Tao, who pushed people, was exempt from the red card, so he was very unwilling, shook his hand angrily, and sat back in the coach's seat from the sidelines. An Rong is also a little helpless, his helplessness is Yan Tao's impulse, Yan Tao has restrained his temper over the years, but at some special times, he is still a little uncontrollable.

An Rong decided to educate this guy well after the game.

Duarte was off, and Yan Tao also received a yellow card. According to the regulations of this World Cup, the player's yellow card needs to be washed off in the quarterfinals, so if two yellow cards are accumulated in the group stage and the first knockout game, the next round will be suspended, fortunately, Yan Tao did not eat cards in the previous game, as long as he has no major foul actions in the remaining time, the yellow card can be cleared in the next round, even if the Chinese team has an accident and does not enter the quarterfinals, Yan Tao's yellow card will be washed off the next time he participates in the World Cup.

Duarte left the pitch and went straight to the dressing room, and Costa Rica had to play with 10 men.
