Zheng Zheng knew that this mistake might make the Chinese team fall into great passivity, so he gritted his teeth and stood up, but judging from his painful facial expression, it was obviously still very uncomfortable!

The Chinese fans at the scene shouted Zheng Zheng's name in unison, sending a loud applause, the veteran who has reached the age of 33.

And Zheng Zheng did not live up to the shouts of the fans, 4 minutes after the subsequent game, he used the fast break to assist Liu Yu to score a goal: the pursuit is a steal from the midfield, Zhang Xizhe instigated an offensive on the left side, Zheng Zheng inserted on the left side and cut low to make the ball hit the post and bounce back, Hao Junmin made up in front of the penalty area, Zhang Xizhe who was ambushed in the middle of the penalty area stretched out his foot and stabbed the ball slightly to change the running route of the ball, the ball hit the goalkeeper's body, bounced to the outside of the big penalty area, in the face of the opponent's many people, Liu Yu did not choose to divide the ball, but suddenly came in place, The speed of the ball is not fast, but the angle of the arc is too tricky, although Buffon touched the ball, he still can't change the trajectory of the ball, which I don't know how many goals Liu Yu scored in the World Cup?

It's very good that other players can score one or two goals, and scoring in Liu Yu is the same as eating, and you can see it at any time.

Is this an easy goal?

Of course, it's not easy, under the opponent's pressure, it is definitely not easy to get rid of, and shoot into the goal, not to mention that this ball makes full use of the technical work at the feet, and it is spinning left and right, which can really be described as a fairy ball.

The commentator of CCTV5 was very excited, "The ball is only in the sky, how many times can I see it on the ground?" Through this improvised poem, you can clearly feel the narrator's praise for Liu Yu.

Led by the Chinese team again, the Italian players were obviously more irritable, and as soon as the kick-off, Insigne quickly accelerated the pace of the impact, and continuously created chaos in the Chinese team's penalty area in a short period of time.

In the chaos, the Italian players signaled the handball in the penalty area of the Chinese team players, the referee ignored it, and China began to retreat to the half-court defense after the goal, and even Liu Yu returned to the midfield line and insisted on defending and counterattacking, and the tactics really had a good effect, and the Italy that could not attack for a long time had a mistake in coordination, and the ball passed directly to the feet of the Chinese players, and Hao Junmin was put down by Chiellini after breaking through on the right side, and the latter also paid the price of a yellow card!

In the 32nd minute of the game, Zhang Xizhe picked up the Italian defense behind the line, Wu Lei quickly plugged in, stepped forward to respond, and faced the young player Buffon who was forced to attack and hit the ball off.

Moments later, Italy's Montolivo's cross helped Balotelli to form a forward in the box, but Balotelli's attack was not on target, and in this attack, the Chinese war received a yellow card for a foul on the inability to keep up with the pace.

In the 34th minute, with Liu Yu's several good shots, the Chinese team won a series of corner kick opportunities, but unfortunately Zhang Linpeng's header was saved by Buffon, and then Liu Yu turned around and hit the goal at a small angle and was blocked by the opponent's defender, including Liu Yu, several Chinese players and players signaled to the Italian defender for handball, but the referee ignored it. Due to the extremely fast speed of the ball, it was difficult to accurately judge whether Bakambu was handball in slow motion, and there was no VAR technology at that time, so the referee could only guess based on his own experience.

For some time thereafter, Italy continued to press, and the heavy artillery after Balotelli pulled to the perimeter was slightly deflected. After the successful defense of the Chinese team, Wang Dalei had a performance of directly instigating a fast attack through a long pass, and I have to say that Wang Dalei's fast serve is indeed unique in China.

At least none of the other players could kick the ball so far to Wang Dalei, but Zheng Zheng tackled Insigne head-on when defending in the middle, Montolivo and Insigne walked to the referee and asked Zheng Zheng to show the second yellow card, but the referee from South Korea shook his head and pushed the two away; Balotelli's free-kick was then intercepted by Wang Dalei.

Probably considering that Zheng Zheng's physical fitness is really unable to keep up now, the Chinese made a third substitution in the first half, the 40th point, with the premise of Chiellini's position, the Italian frontcourt suppression and penetration effect has been further improved, and the possession rate has exceeded 65%, which is very not Italian, in fact, their many penetrations were intercepted by the last Chinese defense line where Zhang Linpeng and another player sit.

In the 42nd minute, Balotelli tried a peripheral attack and was confiscated by Wang Dalei, seeing Liu Yu who was inserting forward, Wang Dalei threw the ball directly over, although Liu Yu's physical fitness was very strong, but Liu Yu still did not fight under the bag of the other three.

Although he didn't control the ball, but with Liu Yu's physical run, stuck the position of the opponent's defender, the opponent's subconscious action was really fouled, Liu Yu won a free kick on the left side of the penalty area for the Chinese team, Liu Yu kicked out a quick falling arc, the ball crossed the wall and hit the inside of the post, but the luck was slightly worse, the ball finally bounced out, and Italy was almost scored.

After getting up, Buffon changed his usual suave state and yelled at his defenders, seemingly very dissatisfied with his own backline.

In fact, this is also normal, after all, the goal just now is that the defender is not very focused, so Liu Yu seized the opportunity.

In first-half stoppage time, players from both sides suddenly let go again and started to attack, Hao Junmin won a free kick in the middle for the Chinese team, and his own attack was slightly wide.

On the counter-attack, Montolivo picked up a pass to instigate the attack, and Insigne hit the goal from a tight angle in the penalty area.

In the last minute of the end of the first half, Insigne and Montolivo's impact in the middle led to a threat, Montolivo attacked the upper corner of the goal slightly out, a moment later Liu Yu took the ball into the right bottom line with a long-distance run, his right cross led to the fighter, the unguarded Zhang Xizhe ushered in the opportunity to prove himself, but unfortunately he pushed the shot in front of the penalty area, with the ball rolled out of the bottom line, the referee blew the whistle, the first half of the game ended, neither side changed the score.

The weather in Brazil is relatively good, and it's winter in Brazil, so the temperature outside is particularly suitable, so several players don't have a dressing room at all, and they stand on the bench and talk while rehydrating.

On the premise of taking the lead, several Chinese players are smiling, and it seems that they are still relatively relaxed now.

Comprehensive in the first half of the game, the Chinese team's performance was not very good, especially in the offensive aspect, except for Liu Yu, who was more prominent, everyone else was inactive and did not perform at all.

Fortunately, the Chinese team's defense is relatively in place, which did not allow Italy to get more opportunities, and the Chinese team is still ahead anyway!!
