After the pace of the game was dragged down, the excitement level dropped self-evidently, but for the audience, it didn't matter, they were satisfied to be able to wrestle with the United States against such a strong team.

To be honest, the moment I saw the opponent's goal in the first half, the fans' hearts were about to break, if nothing else, just look at the posture of the seven defenders, it would be strange to be able to score.

Not surprisingly, the purpose of the Chinese team at the beginning was to drag into the penalty shootout, so after seeing the team concede the goal, including the players, they gave up a little!

In other words, it depends on our big Liu Yu at a critical time, and when everyone is not optimistic about him, Liu Yu proved himself at the beginning of the second half!!

It was this precious goal that gave hope to everyone.

Back to the book, just when the two sides were still fighting positional battles, the opposing strikers once again exerted their might.

Westbrooks got rid of it twice and crossed a high ball from the right side of the penalty area, and Adams forced a jump to complete the header under the interference of the Chinese defender, and the ball smashed on the crossbar and bounced down.

The Chinese players have tried their best this time, in the face of Adams's attack, China's two defenders have been well stuck in position, but the physical gap is really big, Zhang Linpeng was Adams a Chinese player can not jump, and finally the ball is still grabbed by Adams, fortunately, there is still interference from Chinese players, this goal did not score!

A minute later, it was still the same position, still playing a positional battle, it was Adams again, facing Zhang Linpeng, exactly the same header, but this time no one could stop his attack, the ball smashed into the goal at high speed, and Yan Junling couldn't even react.

2-1！！

In less than 70 minutes of the second half, the United States team once again overtook the score, and the hearts of all Chinese fans were about to raise their throats.

Can you still score goals?

Can the Chinese team still work?

But this time, no player gave up, since Liu Yu can get into the first, then why can't they get into the second?

Gradually, the game began to be grasped by the Chinese team, and it would not work if it was not mastered, if you want to win, you must attack!!

In the 72nd minute, the Chinese team brought the ball to the middle of the penalty area, Liu Yu was put to the ground by Gonzalez in a row, the Chinese team got a good free kick opportunity, the ball went straight to the middle of the goal over the wall, and the goalkeeper of the American team did not dare to hit the ball out with his big fists in the face of the incoming ball. 2 minutes later, it was Liu Yu on the right side who was chased back Brooks and put him to the ground, China got a free kick opportunity on the edge of the penalty area on the right side of the front field, because the ball was a little far away from the goal, Liu Yu did not choose to take the penalty this time, but gave the opportunity to his teammates. Baal sent a free kick near the bottom line on the right side and shot to the back of the goal, Liu Yu, who was ambushed at the back point, jumped up and failed to touch the ball, and the ball grazed the left post of the goal and went out of the bottom line.

This goal is terrible, the American team was shocked into a cold sweat, fortunately, Liu Yu didn't rub the ball, otherwise I really don't know if I can score!

Perhaps driven by Liu Yu, other Chinese players also began to run forward actively, and they also knew that the turtle defense was not good at all, and if you want to win, you have to score!!

In the 78th minute, the Chinese team made a comeback, Liu Yu broke through with the ball and was shoveled out of the bottom line by Gonzalez, Liu Yu took a corner kick on the right side, and the American players cleared the bottom line at two points in a row.

Corners continued on the left side, and the header in the middle was cleared by a header from an American defender, and the American team launched a frantic counterattack while the players were standing relatively high forward at noon.

Westbrooks cushioned a pass from midfield, Bedoya received the ball on the right and hit it wide of the far post.

In the 82nd minute, the United States replaced the substitute striker James, an experienced veteran, as soon as he came on the field, he broke through the double defense of the Chinese team on the left side, and after colliding with Bedoya in the penalty area, he was ready to hit the goalkeeper, but fortunately, Zhang Linpeng's reaction was very fast, and he took the first step to destroy the ball out of the bottom line.

In the 84th minute, the American team Brooks grabbed a foul in the middle circle and received a yellow card. In the 86th minute, the Chinese team, which could only attack desperately, got an absolute opportunity again, Zhang Linpeng launched an attack forward with a low flat ball, and Baal passed to the middle of the front field with a kick over the top, and the ball was passed to Liu Yu's feet without any mistakes.

Liu Yu stopped the ball at the front of the penalty area and turned around to throw off the defender to form a single opportunity, seeing that he was about to hit the goal, the American defender touched the body in the penalty area, and suddenly pushed Liu Yu with his arm, although this push did not push Liu Yu away, but it still delayed the best time for Liu Yu to shoot, and the ball was cleared by the goalkeeper.

Seeing the referee's indifferent look, Liu Yu was angry, isn't this a penalty?

I don't know if it's intentional, the big screen at the scene didn't play back the footage of this ball at all, the game was not stopped by anyone, the referee just stretched out his hand to the small penalty area to indicate that it was a goalball!!

There is no penalty, Liu Yu has nothing to do, after all, the decision is in the hands of the referee, even if he says it clearly, the referee can't help it.

In the 88th minute, the Chinese team cooperated in a small area in the front, Liu Yu took the ball in the middle of the front field and sent a direct pass, Baal took the ball in the penalty area to face 4 defenders, took two steps to shake off the defense and then turned to hit the goal, and the ball grazed the post and missed. In the 89th minute, Liu Yu crossed from the right side to find Baal near the penalty spot, and the latter's shot after winning the ball hit the defender's leg and bounced to the feet of Liu Yu, who was running into the penalty area, Liu Yu raised his foot and shot angrily, the ball hit the left post and flew out of the bottom line. may be due to the momentum of the Chinese team is too fierce, and during this time, the United States team can be described as a rumor in front of the goal.

In the 90th minute, Baal kicked a pass over the top to the front of the penalty area, Liu Yu's header was ferried to the right side of the penalty area, Zhang Linpeng inserted a continuous dribble, Gonzalez had a pulling action in his hand in the defense, the referee gave Yatai a penalty opportunity, and showed Gonzalez a second yellow card, Liu Shangkun sent a point plus two yellows to one red and was sent off.

Here is the opportunity for the Chinese team!!

A penalty!!

All the players looked at Liu Yu, and in their eyes, the best footwork in the entire team was Liu Yu.

Liu Yu was not cowardly, he raised his hand and shook it, signaling this request for stimulation to be punished.

Maybe this goal is too critical, all the fans don't dare to look at the goal, it can be said that this goal determines the life and death of this National Olympic team, if you enter, you will keep the opportunity, if you don't score, you will have to slap your ass and go home!!

In front of the TV, hundreds of millions of viewers are staring, Liu Yu said that it is impossible for him to have no pressure, this goal, Liu Yu can't help but score, otherwise when Liu Yu is mentioned in the future, he will definitely be a sinner!
