Positioning, controlling, dribbling, passing. Whether in defense or offensive organization, Zheng Zhi's performance is extremely eye-catching. Driven by him, the Chinese team slowly stood up from the embarrassment at the beginning of the game.

Under his leadership, the Chinese team unexpectedly withstood the strong offensive of the England team in the first half. England had a clear advantage, but they failed to break down China's defence throughout the first half.

With 12 shots to 5, England had an absolute advantage in attack. There is a big gap between the two sides in terms of offensive ability. Fortunately, Zheng Zhi, the veteran of the Chinese team, stepped up. He helped the Chinese team stabilize the morale of the army and led the national football team to defend the first half.

For such a result, the England team is naturally very unwilling. Especially the attackers on their front line were even more unwilling.

"The luck of the Chinese team is really good. It's always a little bit off. Marcus Rashford was reluctant to tell his team-mates after the first half.

'I don't think we scored, we couldn't take our chances, we were in too much of a hurry. Kane said.

"I think you're in a hurry. Once, if you didn't shoot yourself and you passed it back to me, I believe it would have been scored. Ali leaned over and said.

"What do you mean? Are you saying I'm too lone wolf? Shouldn't I hit the door when the opportunity comes out? Then again, did I pass you less balls? But what are you kicking? I didn't even hit the frame. You're clearing the siege for the Chinese team. When Ali said this, Kane was a little unhappy. He felt that Ali was complaining that he was too lone wolf.

"What? You're wasting too many opportunities. You're talking about me the other way?" Ali said, pointing at Kane with dissatisfaction.

"You're not in a position to speak of me. A couple of times I've run out of good positions, but all you know is the head, or you just start and shoot from outside the box. Kane pointed back without flinching.

"You're the most unqualified person, you..." Ali's face turned angry.

Seeing that the situation was not right, Rashford hurriedly stopped the two from continuing. "Hey man, we don't need to point fingers at each other. We didn't score in the first half and we were just unlucky. There is no need to affect everyone's mood for this. I believe we will still have a lot of chances in the second half. The Chinese team is weak, we can definitely score and win. Trust me, guys. I'm sure you'll score in the second half. “

Dissuaded by Rashford, Ali and Kane finally stopped pointing fingers at each other. After all, as Rashford is right, the Chinese team is indeed too weak. There's no need for them to quarrel here, the best way to slap the opponent in the face is to score a goal in the second half.

The brief verbal confrontation between the two ended for the time being, and they did not speak again. It's just that when they went to the inner wardrobe, they didn't pay attention to each other, and the expressions on their faces were not very unhappy.

In contrast to the England team's unwillingness, the Chinese team was quite happy after the first half of the game. For the Chinese team, they completed the first first half of the World Cup. Against a stronger England side we didn't concede a goal, which was also a good result.

"Well done, Brother Zhi. Thanks to you, otherwise we wouldn't have lost a few in the first half. When his teammates walked off the court, Yan Feng happily gave Zheng Zhi, who was sweating profusely, gasping for breath.

"It's fine. I didn't disappoint you. Zheng Zhi was also very happy. Although he looked a little tired, in the absence of Yan Feng, he led his teammates to protect the goal. It's something he's proud of.

The Chinese team did not concede a goal in the first half, and it was not only Yan Feng who was happy. The entire Chinese team plus all the Chinese fans were very happy with the result.

In the case that Yan Feng failed to play, especially in the very unfavorable situation in the first half, few people would think that the Chinese team was capable of defending.

So, the draw in the first half was a very welcome result.

'I didn't expect us to hold on to the first half. It's just that if it's still like this in the second half, it really doesn't necessarily mean that you can keep the whole game. Why is Yan Feng so unlucky? Everyone else is fine, but he has a physical problem. It would be nice if Yan Feng could play. ”

While they were happy that they didn't concede a goal in the first half, fans couldn't help but start worrying about the second half of the game. The Chinese team without Yan Feng looks really uncompetitive. In the first half, if Zheng Zhi hadn't stood up at the right time, he would have been beaten by the England team.

But after all, Zheng Zhi's age is there, and it is certain that he will not be able to protect his high-level form in the second half as before. Zheng Zhi can't hold on, who else in China can stand up?

In the second half, the situation of the Chinese team was no better than the first half. And the outside world's expectations are even more pessimistic. believes that the Chinese team will face a more difficult situation in the second half. "Judging from the current situation of the Chinese team, it is unlikely that they will want to score a point in this game. The breakthrough of the Chinese team to zero seems to have to be postponed. ”

And in the locker room of the Chinese team.

"Very nice. In the first half, you lived up to my expectations. Especially our captain, Zheng Zhi, his performance deserves our applause. Lippi seemed to be in a good mood and generally praised everyone's performance. And the captain Zheng Zhi got the applause of Lippi.

Zheng Zhi was very happy to receive Lippi's praise. He is proud to have performed well in the World Cup.

'Of course, in the first half, although you were in good spirits, there were many details that could have been done better. Like Wu Lei'''''' "Next, Lippi gave guidance on the performance of some players on the field.

'All in all, we basically got there in the first half. And then, the second half was the real challenge. It should be clear to everyone about this game that our ultimate goal is to get a point. I'm sure you have that confidence. ”

"Now, I'm starting to lay out the strategy for the second half"

Another place, in the England dressing room.

'We had a good first half. We created a lot of chances but we didn't take them. In terms of grasping opportunities and handling details, our forward players are not good enough. And, in the team, there are people who are not very united. Speaking of unity, Southgate glanced at Ali and Kane.

Ali and Kane, knowing that this is criticizing them. Although they still have resentment towards each other in their hearts, at this time, they know that this is not the time to speak.

Southgate, on the other hand, only mentioned it. After that, he moved on to other topics. After all, this kind of thing that affects the unity of the team, and it is never a good thing to put it on the table.

"Everybody did a good job of getting the coaching staff done. Basically typed out everything the coaching staff asked for. However, although we had the advantage on the field, we were not able to establish the lead. That's what we have to try to do in the second half. ”

'I hope in the second half you have to be more cooperative and responsive and take your chances. If it weren't for the Chinese team's Yan being unable to play due to illness, you wouldn't have had so many opportunities to waste. ”

"Nowadays, China is not able to play, this is an opportunity given to us by God, and we must seize it. Win against the Chinese team, there will be no doubts. Southgate was in a good mood when he thought that Yan Feng's inability to play made the Chinese midfield not have enough control.

"Score, win the Chinese team!" the England team will also feel confident.

"Winning the Chinese team will guarantee our qualification for the group stage. There is only one World Cup in four years. Coming here, I believe that everyone has lofty dreams. England haven't played in the Hercules Cup for many years. I longed for the day when I had my hands dirty. ”

"Now, let's go and make our first step happen. Score, win the Chinese team. Southgate said, finally, raising his palms and clenching them into fists.

"Score, win the Chinese team!" the England general raised his fist.

Seeing that the morale of the team was turned up to the highest level, Southgate began to plan the second half of the game.

With the dominance of the first half, there wasn't much for England to adjust.

The fifteen-minute break of the intermission passed quickly.

England returned to the pitch in a menacing manner under Gareth Southgate.

Looking at the imposing appearance of the England team, many Chinese fans at the scene were shocked. Then I couldn't help but worry.

"England look like they're going to win. Can we withstand this second half?"

Amid the worries of the Chinese fans, the Chinese team also returned to the stadium.

"Huh~ Yan Feng seems to be warming up, is he going to play with illness?" The sharp-eyed fans soon discovered that after coming out of the locker room, Yan Feng stepped up his warm-up on the sidelines.

"Wouldn't it? Could Lippi really send him on the field?"

By the time both players were on the pitch ready for the start of the game, the fourth official stood on the sidelines of the halfway line. However, when the fourth official raised the number plate, and Yan Feng also stood next to him, the entire stadium was boiling.

"Wow! It's Yan Feng, he's really played. ”

"Haha, great, Yan Feng is finally on the field. Now, there is hope for the Chinese team. ”

"What? China is going to play?" said the England players in surprise when they saw the situation on the sidelines.

"Didn't you say that his body couldn't play? Why is he playing now?"

Amid the cheers of tens of thousands of Chinese fans throughout the stadium, Yan Feng ran onto the court.

Yan Feng finally stepped on the dream World Cup field. This is something he had been waiting for, and it was something he would not have imagined years ago. Now he is finally standing here. His heart was extremely excited, and the surging mood was like a surging wave. He felt like every vein in his body was boiling.

"It's finally time for me to play. World Cup, now I'm here to perform. ”
