This little episode made the atmosphere of the scene a little better, the fans were already nervous watching the game, and it was good to have such a chance to relax.

About ten minutes later, the players who had gone back to the dressing room were all coming back, and the mental state of the second half was significantly better than the listless appearance at the end of the first half.

The schedule of the World Cup is indeed much tighter than usual, like usual, you may only play one or two games a week, and in the World Cup, you have to play three games in a row in ten days, which is also a bit unbearable for these athletes, maybe only people with physical fitness like Xiang Liu Yu will feel good.

Both sides who can reach the final have actually paid a great physical price, and now let them play a sprint run is probably only a lap, if it is not necessarily energetic in overtime.

Of course, if the opponent's defender can't keep up with the physical fitness, this is also a great opportunity for the front of the side, after all, in the case of good physical fitness, the opponent's forward's one-on-one defensive ability is really strong enough.

In the second half of the game, Italy sent their veteran Andrea Pirlo, who is already old and has long been less powerful than he was at the beginning, but the footwork and awareness are still there, at least with the ability of the current Chinese players, it is not up to that level.

The second half of the game is on the verge of breaking out! As soon as the second half of the game began, only 38 seconds later, Italy won the ball in front, although the linesman raised the flag to signal offside, the players of the Chinese team did not chase back. However, the referee from Africa did not blow the whistle, and the Italian striker went all the way into the box to score before the African referee blew the whistle for offside.

In the past minute, Balotelli and Pirlo planned a long-distance cross from the left side of the attack, Balotelli jumped high and pressed the defenders of the Chinese team to head the goal, the difference in strength between the two sides is still relatively large, although the Chinese players are facing away from each other, but the Chinese defender was still knocked out three or four meters away, the ball was pushed to the dead corner, Wang Da Lei Feilong was in the sky, and the ball was knocked out of the ball! The ball was not out of bounds, and Balotelli's attempted follow-up shot was blocked by Zheng Zhi at the angle of the shot.

After the ball popped up, the Chinese team took advantage of this to send an attack. Liu Yu single-handedly killed from the left side to the small penalty area with his superb foot skills, but his return pass was too powerful, and Zhang Xizhe in the middle wanted to stop the ball, but the ball bounced out.

Fortunately, the Chinese team did a very good job in intercepting the midfield today, although the opponent won the ball, but under the siege of several people, the Italian midfielders also made mistakes, the Chinese team intercepted the ball again on the periphery, Hao Junmin sent the ball on the left side, Liu Yu quickly squeezed away Bonucci in the case of one-on-one, and struggled to head the goal at the front point, and the perverted physical fitness was reflected at this moment, Bonucci's body is relatively good in Italy, that's it, or did not block Liu Yu's attack.

Buffon couldn't make a save, and could only watch the ball pass by his hand, the Chinese team extended its lead, and the score of 3:1 also greatly increased the confidence of the Chinese players.

In fact, Liu Yu's physical condition today is not the best, he can clearly feel the discomfort in his calves, it should be that he has run too much, and his muscles have some twitches.

Trailing two goals, the mentality of the Italian players is indeed a little anxious, three yellow cards in five consecutive minutes fully illustrate their mentality at this time, and their attack is also affected by the mentality, there were several opportunities to cross, but their players chose to shoot outside the penalty area, if they can play accurately, it is good, the key hit is not accurate at all.

In the 50th minute, Liu Yu also made a long-range shot outside the penalty area, and like the Italian players, Liu Yu did not control the ball well and also missed.

The Chinese team that retreated from defense was almost a bus, nine of the 11 people were near the big penalty area, and two people were sweeping near the midfield.

In the 51st minute, Hao Junmin and Pirlo fell when they were in the opposite foot, and the referee punished Hao Junmin for a foul, and Italy got a free kick opportunity 28 meters from the goal.

Intuitively, this goal is still relatively difficult, the distance is a little far away, the angle is too positive, and it is difficult to score to be honest.

But the god of skin, this battle-hardened veteran did not live up to the expectations of the Italian fans, his free kick played a pretty beautiful arc, the ball directly bypassed the Chinese team's wall, and flew into the gate of the Chinese team against the right post, recovering a goal, 3:2! It was Pirlo's first goal at the World Cup, but his goal was invaluable, at least one of the best in terms of the atmosphere.

Is this the end of the goal, obviously not, the Chinese team scored again in the next first shot.

In the 53rd minute, Zhang Xizhe went down to the left side, the defender of the Chinese team inserted the header to the middle of the penalty area, Liu Yu stopped the ball with his back heel and slightly observed the shot, the ball seemed to touch the leg of Chiellini who grabbed the point in front of the goal to form a small refraction, Buffon could not react, the ball went into the goal, 4-2!

The balance of hope is on Liu Yu's side again, this ball has a certain amount of luck, but luck is also part of strength, if there is no strength, where is luck?

In the 55th minute, after the Italian back line pressed, Bonucci shot from the perimeter, and after the ball bounced off the Chinese team, Pirlo grabbed the opportunity to get his foot first, but his shot was too high.

Less than a minute later, Pirlo fouled Liu Yu in the backfield defense dribbling, probably thinking that Liu Yu's action was a little too big, and the referee showed Liu Yu a yellow card this time, but Pirlo's free kick was a cross and did not work.

In the 57th minute, the Italian players shot in front of the goal, but none of them were on target. Due to the injury of the defenders of the Chinese team, Italy can get more shooting opportunities in the backfield of the Chinese team, because there is not much time given to Italy, so their players are very anxious, because the target is on the ball, so there is naturally a physical collision.

The defenders of the two Italian giants hit their heads in a scramble, and when the header was scrambling, Bonucci's elbow opened the corner of Chiellini's eye, and the latter fell to the ground with blood on his face, and the medical staff hurriedly ran to the field to bandage it, Chiellini is also a tough guy, and the silent nursing staff directly stitched on the side.

A few minutes later, Chiellini continued to play with his head bandaged, and the crowd gave him a round of applause and respect.

Of course, returning to the field is a matter of later, continue to shift his eyes to the field, Pirlo cleverly sent the ball in the middle, Montolivo rushed to the penalty area to pick up the shot, although the ball passed Wang Dalei's ten fingers, but swept out of the door!
