Chapter 17: First World Cup Goal

There was no point in holding on any longer, so Yan Feng followed his inner expectations and began to raise his position.

Yan Feng wanted to increase his participation in the forward, so Zheng Zhi reduced the number of times he stepped forward and dragged the position forward. In the Evergrande team, when Zheng Zhi was partnering with Paulinho, he was like that. Yan Feng and Paulinho are both B2B players with strong running power, and Zheng Zhi has long been familiar with this.

"Little Fengzi, come on. Let Brazil see that we are not without a fight. Zheng Zhi cheered Yan Feng up. In fact, he is more comfortable with the style of play where his partner frequently comes forward to assist.

"Hmm. Yan Feng nodded solemnly. He has let go of the importance of winning and losing, and now he wants to play against the top opponents on the World Cup stage.

And after Yan Feng's position moved forward, he found that the situation was not as ideal as he expected. Because he started to go up before and after, he was immediately taken care of by Paulinho.

Paulinho has the physicality, the pace, the defensive ability, the awareness and the experience are very good. Being taken care of by him, Yan Feng immediately felt unprecedented difficulties.

In terms of physical confrontation ability, Paulinho himself is black and hard, and Yan Feng did not take much advantage. Under Paulinho's full entanglement, it was very difficult for Yan Feng to use the back up to find opportunities. Because Paulinho is that type of player himself.

For a while, Yan Feng had no way to get rid of Paulinho's entanglement. He suddenly had the feeling that he was competing with himself.

Under Paulinho's full care, Yan Feng struggled to contribute offensively. Of course, Paulinho almost gave up the attack completely.

Faced with this situation, Yan Feng could only put the hope of the opportunity on his teammates. He has few chances of his own, but he can attract the defensive firepower of the Brazilian team and disrupt the Brazilian team's defensive formation. After all, he is the most dangerous man in the Chinese team.

Yan Feng began to use his running ability to create opportunities for his teammates. And when he faced Paulinho, he had a bigger handle than anyone else. But when he started to deliberately pass the ball, Paulinho couldn't stop him from getting the ball to his team-mates.

The rest of the Chinese team got more opportunities after Yan Feng went on the attack. Especially Wu Lei and Zhang Yuning, who are forwards.

It's not that the Chinese team didn't have a chance to hit the goal. It's just that Feng Wireless is an incurable disease of the Chinese team. Neither Wu Lei nor Zhang Yuning has the ability to solve the problem.

The thin Wu Lei lacks confrontation ability and always has weak feet at the last moment. Even if there is a single opportunity in a godsend, his poor coordination and poor ankle flexibility often make him miss the opportunity.

Zhang Yuning is hard enough to carry it. In the face of Brazilian defenders such as Marquinhos, he did not fall behind. However, his speed was too slow, and the frequency of his turning and foot movements was half a beat slower. This makes him almost incapable of hitting the door except for being the fulcrum of the front line.

As for Sun Ke and Yu Hanchao, the two forwards, they are very relaxed in the face of defense. It's just limited to ability, and they have tried several times to create opportunities by breaking through. However, the success rate is pitifully low.

"I felt like I saw the game at the '02 World Cup. The difference in strength between the current Chinese team and the Brazilian team is not much different from that of more than ten years ago. Looking at the situation on the field, many fans remembered the match between the Chinese team and the Brazilian team in the 02 World Cup.

"Maybe it's going to be 4:0 again!" Although the Chinese team now has two players who can be based in Europe, Yan Feng and Lin Fan. However, the overall strength of the Chinese team is still very weak. Some fans seem to have seen another massacre.

"That can't be helped. Strength dictates. In fact, it is very satisfying to see the Chinese team in the World Cup. What's more, this time we got a point, which is already a big improvement. In the end, the fans can only console themselves with this.

Fans have lost their expectations for the game.

However, in the game on the field, after Yan Feng intentionally strengthened his passing, the Chinese team could still have opportunities from time to time.

"Hey, Yan Feng's passes are good. Very thoughtful. In the face of Paulinho, he can pass the ball to the feet of his teammates in front of him. I really didn't expect it. Not only can he defend, but he can also shoot from distance and pass the ball. This is going to play in Europe, and the ball is going to rise quickly. Some fans began to be surprised that Yan Feng still had the ability to pass the ball.

Compared with Yan Feng's goals and steals, his assist statistics are relatively bleak. But in fact, his passing ability in the Granada team is getting better and better day by day. In other words, in the La Liga season he just ended, he also had five assists in his account.

It is precisely because of Yan Feng's passing ability that the Chinese team does not fall too much disadvantage on the field. At least, when Brazil hit the goal twice, the Chinese team was able to counterattack once.

Thanks to the performance of Yan Feng and Zheng Zhi in the midfield, coupled with Lin Fan's newborn calf and courage to perform, the Chinese team survived the first half.

Brazil had a big advantage and were sharper after taking the lead. But by the end of the first half, it was still only a one-goal lead, which was somewhat unexpected.

Faced with this situation, the happiest are the Chinese fans. They were only one goal down in the first half, which gave them hope.

"It's just a goal behind, maybe you can get a point. ”

The hope is very plump, but the reality is very skinny.

After the start of the second half, the Chinese team, which was also full of confidence, launched a wave of offensives. Wu Lei, who was a little careless, brought a little too much, and when he wanted to show his ability to excel, he was directly stolen by Fernandinho.

The Brazilian team launched a quick counterattack directly, and it was the whole team that pressed up quickly. The Brazilian team, which is fierce and resolute in attack, is on three fronts. Yan Feng tried his best to defend himself, but he could only keep an eye on one target.

The Chinese team went all out to defend, but there was confusion in the defensive formation. In addition, the Brazilian team has too many offensive points to watch everywhere.

With a quick and wonderful pass, Brazil soon approached the Chinese penalty area.

But when Sugers broke through the side with the ball, Yan Feng saw Paulinho rushing forward from the back row, and he had to move to block. And just when Yan Feng blocked Paulinho, Neymar got a chance. He took a pass from Suges and swept straight into the shot.

0:2.

The red in the stands fell silent, except for the much smaller yellow area boiling.

The Chinese fans were silent. Not so long ago, they were expecting a better ending. Less than two minutes into the second half, he was given a blow in the face. It's a pretty big blow.

"Okay. That's the reality. This is the difference in strength. ”

After accepting this fact, Chinese fans began to encourage the Chinese team again. I hope the Chinese team can play their own style.

After the game resumed, the Chinese team fought back under the leadership of Yan Feng and Zheng Zhi. However, the overall strength was there, and after more than ten or twenty minutes of fighting, he still couldn't get one back.

Then, the Chinese team suffered another setback. After an attack was blocked, under the rapid attack of Brazil, it was scored by Suzheses Neche from distance.

0:3. The game ended early.

Whether it is the players or the fans, at this time, they can only admit that the game has been lost.

"It's not 70 minutes, it's 3:0. It looks like there's a good chance it's another 4:0."

'Hopefully not to be scored again. As long as you can keep the score. It's just that it looks so hard. ”

At this time, Chinese fans fell into pessimism. They don't really have that much to ask for. I just hope that the Chinese team will not lose too badly.

The loss was too bad, too ugly. This is also unacceptable to Yan Feng. Although he knew the gap between the two sides, he really didn't want to see that.

"It's out. It's certain that we will lose, but we have to at least save some dignity. ”

"Brother Zhi, let's fight. It would be nice to be able to get one. Yan Feng said to captain Zheng Zhi.

"Hmm. Fight for my life, and don't let that score repeat. Zheng Zhi nodded.

The victory and defeat were decided, but the Chinese team did not surrender. At least, Yan Feng, Zheng Zhi, Lin Fan and their head coach Lippi haven't given up yet.

Lippi began to make substitutions, replacing Zhang Yuning and Sun Ke with Gao Lin and Cao Yunding. And changed the formation of the Chinese team from 4231 to 433.

The Chinese team has to let go of the attack. And the Brazilian team, which also felt that the victory and defeat had been scored, also made substitution adjustments. Let Neymar and Suges go down to rest and prepare for the next game against England.

The substitutions on both sides were like a signal. The Chinese team is attacking with an open attack. And the Brazilian side did completely relax.

The situation on the field began to change a lot. The Chinese team, which was desperately trying to attack, began to play back and forth with the Brazilian team. For a while, there was a feeling of parity on the field.

The Brazilian team still has a chance, but after they have slackened, their ability to grasp has decreased a lot.

The Chinese team also has more opportunities. Wu Lei, who was bent on scoring the first World Cup goal for the Chinese team, was a little lonely and impatient, and frequently lost opportunities and ball possession.

Seeing this, Yan Feng was a little weak. So, he began to attack with all his might. In order to get rid of Paulinho's entanglement, Yan Feng changed positions with Lin Fan many times.

This did get Yan Feng out of Paulinho's entanglement, but the Brazilian team seemed to have made targeted arrangements for him a long time ago, and Fernandinho would take over Paulinho's responsibility.

Despite this, Yan Feng relied on his speed and running position to find an opportunity. It's just that he tried a long-range shot and a counter-push at the top of the box, but it didn't work.

When Yan Feng's shot did not score, everyone did not have much hope of breaking through the goal of the Brazilian team.

"Hey, the edge is weak. When will the Chinese team score one?"

Wu Lei has no strength anymore, Gao Plane is still Gao Plane, and even Yan Feng's long shot failed to break through the goal. Many people helplessly lamented that it was really difficult for the Chinese team to score a goal.

"Just expect too much. If only I could lose four. ”

It seems that the Chinese players on the field have little confidence in this, and when they attack again, it doesn't look strong.

The Chinese team's offensive momentum slowed down and the tempo slowed down. After a long period of grinding, the Chinese team advanced past the midfield.

And the Brazilian team also seems to feel that the Chinese team is not a threat, and the defense is not so hard.

At this time, Zheng Zhi suddenly kicked Cao Yunding with a direct pass in the midfield. And Cao Yun didn't stop the ball, turned his back to the team Ervis, smoothed it with his heel, and then turned around and ran in a different direction with the ball.

Alves, who had been playing for almost 80 minutes, was a little unfocused. He didn't expect Cao Yun to come to this trick, and he was successfully scored by the latter.

When Alves reacted and turned to chase back, he failed to catch up with the physically energetic Cao Yunding.

Cao Yunding successfully went to the bottom. Seeing this, Yan Feng hurriedly took a sharp breath, and then rushed towards the forbidden area with all his strength.

After Yan Feng rushed into the penalty area, Cao Yunding also crossed the ball. Cao Yunding's cross was fast and spinning, and the height was not high. Yan Feng rushed a few steps, his eyes only staring at the football, and then flew up and fell. Leap to the top!

Yan Feng found a collision with the defender in the process of leaping out, but it failed to stop his momentum. Eventually, he hit the ball on the head.

After Yan Feng fell to the ground, regardless of the pain caused by the collision, he hurriedly raised his head to find the trace of the football. When he saw the ball rolling inside the goal, he jeopardized and bounced with joy.

"Yay!!!!"

"Wow! goal, Chinese team scored!!!!!"

"China's first World Cup goal !!"

The fans in the stands were boiling, and the crazy cheers looked as if the Chinese team had won.
