When Sampaoli outside the field saw this situation, he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, Zhang Shujie had knocked the ball back from near the bottom line to the goal, if the Chinese player got the ball, no need to exert force, just poke with his foot, the ball will definitely fly into the goal.

Fortunately, Argentina was lucky, Mascherano took the lead in kicking the ball outside the penalty area, but what was waiting for Argentina was Xu Zhixin, who won the ball.

Xu Zhixin glanced at the goal, thinking that the opportunity to score was coming, he picked up his left leg, and fired a powerful long-range shot, and the ball blasted towards the door of Argentina. Romero was powerless to save, and even his team-mates at the back couldn't save the shot anymore, and Xu Zhixin watched as the ball flew over the crowd and off the crossbar.

The goal did not go in, and the Argentine fans breathed a sigh of relief. Xu Zhixin shook his hand in frustration, the 22-year-old was very eager to score a goal. Five of the six main attacking players in the midfield of the Chinese team have scored goals in the World Cup, and all five of them have scored in two consecutive World Cups.

In the last World Cup in Brazil, Xu Zhixin was only a substitute, playing less than 90 minutes in total, and it is understandable that he did not score goals, but this time he is already the main force of the team, and the number of goals is still zero. As a midfielder who can play as a guest winger, Xu Zhixin's attacking ability is undoubted, as evidenced by his 20 goals in all competitions for Bayern Munich last season.

Romero takes a goal kick. After the two teams went back and forth after the opening four minutes of attack, and then for ten minutes, their offensive rhythm slowed down a little, and in these ten minutes, neither side had a single attack on goal, but there were a lot of fouls, but they were far away from the goal, and they could not be directly hit with free kicks.

The ten-minute game was a bit dull, and even He Wei said: "In these ten minutes, these two teams don't look like they are competing for tickets to the competition, but more like teams waiting to qualify together in the final round of the group stage." ”

But all this is just an illusion, in the 60th minute of the game, the Chinese team suddenly played a wave of offensive climax, first Zhang Shujie received a pass from Zhao Wenkang outside the penalty area, turned around with his left foot and hit the goal by Romero, and the Chinese team got a corner kick. Zhao Wenkang was sent into the penalty area, Chen Zihua's header in front of the goal was too positive, and Romero knocked the ball out of the box with both fists. In the 63rd minute, Xu Ziyi received Li Mu's heel pass on the left side of the penalty area, and his right-footed shot was blocked by Fazio with his body; In the 64th minute, Li Mu, who came to the right side, passed two people and gave the ball to Zhao Wenkang, Zhao Wenkang rubbed his left foot into the far corner of the goal, and the ball bypassed Romero's fingers, but hit the post and bounced back.

In four minutes, the Chinese team was each shot by Zhang Shujie, Chen Zihua, Xu Ziyi and Zhao Wenkang, with an average of one shot per minute. Xu Yang couldn't help but say: "After ten minutes of silence, the Chinese team besieged Argentina in the penalty area, and the Chinese team formed a siege on Argentina in a short period of time, and the number of shots on goal remained high. ”

Chinese fans are also constantly cheering for China, and they know that after this kind of offensive climax, the most urgent thing is a goal. If you can't score in 10 minutes, the attack will slowly fade and eventually die.

Shen Hao clenched his fists in the press box and said: "The Chinese team will work harder, take advantage of this wave of offensive momentum to score another goal!"

In the 65th minute of the game, Zhang Shujie dribbled the ball past Mascherano and Rojo in the front court, and then distributed the ball to Li Mu, Li Mu grazed past Otamendi and hit the goal with his left foot in a left-footed volley that was half a position above him.

Romero slapped the ball down with one hand, but couldn't get it out and the ball fell back into the box. Chen Zihua, who had already stepped forward from the middle to the goal, took a step ahead of Fazio, made a supplementary shot in front of the goal, and kicked the ball into the net.

Chen Zihua opened his arms to celebrate, and Li Mu also ran towards him, but he suddenly heard the referee blow the whistle, this is not a goal whistle, he was a little strange, subconsciously looked at the linesman, only to see the linesman Ping raised the small flag in his hand, pointing to the position where Chen Zihua had just scored.

The ball was offside. Chen Zihua stopped, stood in the forbidden area, spread his hands, pouted, and then walked out of the forbidden area.

The replay screen came out quickly, and at the moment when Chen Zihua started, he was half a position beyond Fazio. He Wei said: "Chen Zihua's ball is indeed offside, although there are not many positions exceeded, but the linesman is still clear, looks very carefully, and there is no misjudgment." ”

Xu Yang said with a smile: "Even if the linesman doesn't see it clearly, it's not a problem, the video referee team can give the right instructions at any time." ”

Although the goal ended in an offside position by Chen Zihua, it also gave Argentina a warning. Sampaoli began to make substitutions, and he decided to use the attack to suppress the Chinese team, replacing Paredes with Di Maria and a winger for a midfielder.

'Now Di Maria is on the pitch. Sampaoli's intention to make this substitution is obvious, which is to strengthen the attack. In this way, Argentina's formation should also have some changes, it will become 433, Icardi plays the center, Di Maria is on the left, and Messi is on the right. ”

Argentina's substitution is relatively early, An Rong has no intention of substitution, the Chinese team is now a score of 1:0, with the ability of those players on the bench of the Chinese team, I am afraid it is not enough to expand the score, this is also a place where An Rong is very entangled, when the small score leads, there is always no suitable person to change. Maybe Lin Li and Xiao Feng are barely one, and as for Liu Jianwei, in the attack, An Rong will only think about it last.

Di Maria's presence has energized Argentina's frontcourt, and his sprinting speed and physical flexibility have been a great test for Yuan Chengye. If the previous Messi was only pulled from the left forward to the left side, then the current Di Maria is the real left winger, threatening Yuan Chengye all the time.

Argentina got the ball, and the Chinese team failed to score an effective goal after a burst of attacking climax in the front, and now they have to enter the defensive stage. Dybala got the ball to Messi's feet, Messi passed Xu Zhixin, who came to force the defense, and then knocked the ball to Icardi, and he himself moved to the middle, but he did not steal the position of Icardi and Dybala, but between the two.

Icardi gave the ball back to Messi, Messi didn't stop the ball, picked up with his left foot, the ball flew over the heads of Xu Ziyi and Tang Ling, and fell to the left periphery of the penalty area, Di Maria crossed Yuan Chengye, and after stopping the ball on his chest, he lightly unloaded the ball with his right foot.
