Senegal's free-kick was not only far from the goal, more than 40 meters, but also at a very far angle, close to the touchline, so it could only be passed. Of course, if the Senegalese players are bold enough, they can't get a shot.

There were only two people standing in the human wall of the Chinese team, and the rest of the players were all in the penalty area to mark people. Although An Rong's defensive tactics are zone defense, there are some special aspects of this set-piece, and the opponent's people must be kept an eye on in the penalty area. Even Zhang Shujie and Li Mu retreated and directly participated in the defense.

It's not uncommon for strikers to return to the penalty area to defend. Just like Real Madrid's Ronaldo, usually when the opponent takes a corner kick or a free kick, he either returns to the penalty area to help mark, Ronaldo has a physical advantage, and a height of 1.85 meters, and good bounce, which is of great help to the team in the defense of set-pieces. In the same way, Zhang Shujie and Li Mu are also 1.85 meters tall, and their headers are also one of their strengths.

Apanu played the ball into the box, and he passed it far back, and neither the man in the middle nor the front post could reach the ball. Because the ball fell close to the small penalty area, Ma Junqiang also boldly attacked, jumped to pick up the ball, and Koulibaly also wanted to jump up to top the ball at the moment, but Ma Junqiang had already jumped, in order not to collide with Ma Junqiang in the air, he stopped jumping, but his action caused some impact on Ma Junqiang's pick-up, Ma Junqiang could have grasped the ball steadily, but because of Koulibaly's blocking, he did not grasp the ball, and the ball fell to the ground.

Ma Junqiang secretly scolded in his heart: "I'm grass!"

The referee saw Koulibaly's action, strictly speaking, this was a foul to block the goalkeeper, and he was also about to blow the whistle, but Tang Ling came out from the side, snatched the ball, and took it to the side with fewer people, and the referee saw that the ball was already here in the Chinese team, so he took the whistle in his mouth again.

Xu Yang said at this time: "I see that the referee seemed to hesitate just now, but in the end he didn't blow the foul." ”

"Well, the player was taken away by the Chinese team, and the Chinese team could take the opportunity to play a wave of counterattacks, and the referee did not blow the whistle, so as not to spoil the good things of the Chinese team. ”

Tang Ling, who was dribbling the ball, heard Chen Zihua shouting at him: "Pass here!" Tang Ling immediately turned around, knocked the ball to Chen Zihua with his right foot, Apanu rushed out and wanted to break the ball, Chen Zihua immediately took two steps back to get to the ball first, at this time he knocked the ball to the back of his body with his right heel, and at the same time braked and turned around, and Apanu didn't expect Chen Zihua to make such an "unconventional" passing move, some expected, it was too late to stop it.

Chen Zihua and Apanu's bodies staggered, and after bypassing, they caught up with the ball! Xu Yang praised: "This is really very imaginative! What is a world-class midfielder? This is!"

Chen Zihua controlled the ball and rushed forward, six or seven meters later, gave the ball to Zhao Wenkang on the right, Tang Ling quickly plugged in, attracting Sith to follow, Diouf retreated, Zhao Wenkang before he arrived, a mid-distance pass, passed to Zhang Shujie in front of the left.

The ball crossed the center line, and rolled about fifteen meters, Zhang Shujie received the ball, dialed the ball, turned around, and the three actions were done in one go, Mbenge was a little unable to keep up with his rhythm, after adjusting, Zhang Shujie had already brought the ball to the open area.

Li Mu was already running in front, and Chen Zihua also ran forward from four yards next to Zhang Shujie. Chen Zihua's run took away the Kouyat on Zhang Shujie's side directly, and now there is only one Mbeng who follows him. Zhang Shujie has many ways to handle the ball, and he looked at Li Mu, who was separated by two Senegalese players, and the third player, Apanu Ndiaye, had already pressed in, and he and Mbenge were about to form a flank against Zhang Shujie.

At this moment, Zhang Shujie rubbed the ball with his left foot, and the ball flew over Apanu's head, and flew diagonally to Xu Ziyi, Xu Ziyi observed the situation in the front court in advance, he did not wait for the ball to land, and flicked the ball with the outside of his left foot volley, and the ball flew forward with a half-high ball, and flew between Kouyate and Koulibaly, and flew to the wide area in front of Li Mu.

"What a good ball! Xu Ziyi's pass is really beautiful! Li Mu's good chance!" He Wei's voice raised a lot, and this was probably the best chance the Chinese team got in the first half.

Li Mu started quickly! His instantaneous sprint was fully revealed at this moment, and the ball flew into the penalty area in an outer arc, and Li Mu also happened to be in the penalty area.

Once he had the ball in control, he aimed at the goal and was ready to play, but by this time Koulibaly had come back into defence. Hamdi looked at the road and shouted loudly: "Guard against Zhang Shujie and Chen Zihua!"

Senegal's defenders did not dare to be careless, and followed with two Chinese players in the middle. Koulibaly approached Li Mu, and Li Mu knocked the ball inward with the inside of his left foot, a clever knock on the ball, Koulibaly rushed too hard, and the inertia made him unable to turn around in a short time, and could only watch Li Mu break through.

Li Mu got up!

The inside of the right foot hits the ball in the middle and bottom, and the ball flies off the ground, drawing a beautiful arc and spinning towards the goal. Hamdi flew to his feet, stretched out his arms, and tried to save the ball, but unfortunately, the ball flew ten centimeters from the tip of his fingers, and after an internal arc, it spun into the Senegal goal and hit the goal!

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!1:0!!Li Mu took the lead in breaking the deadlock on the field!And in the stands, the moment Ye Xiaotong saw the ball enter the net, he stood up from his position with a "whoosh"!

"The ball scored!! Li Mu! Li Mu! He scored the first goal of the Chinese team in this World Cup! A very wonderful goal! Now the score on the field is 1:0!" He Wei's voice was a little excited, although he had long expected that the Chinese team could score, but when the facts happened in front of him, I believe that every Chinese could not control their emotions.

The Chinese fans in the stands all cheered, and the Mexican wave set off again. Li Mu was also very happy, he ran on the field with open arms, and his teammates followed him. He ran to the corner and stopped to celebrate the goal with the Chinese fans in the audience, and his teammates came to him, surrounded him in the middle, and hugged him.

Xu Yang said with a smile: "The fast attack of the Chinese team is really sharp, and it is second to none in world football." Xu Ziyi's pass just now, the ball was kept while running, and the opportunity came out as soon as he rubbed the ball in the air. ”

"That's right. The personnel of this Chinese team have basically not changed from the previous session, but the ability of the players has improved, and the details are handled very well, and in all aspects, it is indeed worth looking forward to. ”

This is Li Mu's first goal in this World Cup, and the number of goals in the World Cup has reached five. At the same time, it was also the 45th goal he scored for the Chinese national team.
