Seeing the Chinese team put out the iron bucket formation, the players of Côte d'Ivoire became more and more anxious, not in a hurry, no, in their opinion, if they lose to the Chinese team, it means that the group stage is eliminated, there is no good way to attack, that can only pile up the number of people, in the 42nd minute, Ivory Coast replaced a defender, replaced by a midfielder!

In fact, this substitution is very effective, the opponent's tactical thinking is very simple, that is, from the side of the ball to the middle, the opponent has two high strikers, one is Drogba, the other is Yakonan, both of them are strong and strong, in the confrontation with the Chinese defenders will never suffer, as long as the ball can be passed to their heads, almost can form a shot.

In the 44th minute of the first half of the game, the midfielder who had just come on the field of Ivory Coast shook Zhang Xizhe's defense and broke through from the left side, this Ivory Coast player's footwork is indeed very exquisite, there is no way, Jiang Zhipeng can only foul it, the free kick is punished by Yaya Toure, although Yaya Toure is not very old, but he has the experience of playing in a big club like Manchester City, and the level is naturally not much worse. But he didn't expect the ball to fall too fast, and he could only block it with his legs.

The Ivory Coast players almost celebrated, because from a side point of view, the goal was really the same as the goal, and the players on the bench thought it was a change, so they all stood up and waved the towels in their hands.

In the 45th minute, Jiang Zhipeng, who was continuously broken through, fouled the Ivorian player who was substituted on the right side, and this time the referee finally couldn't bear it, and he decisively took out the first yellow card of the game.

This kind of yellow card still has a great impact on China, because Jiang Zhipeng is not afraid to make a move after getting a yellow card, which will also directly lead to a decline in the Chinese team's side defense.

This time the foul was a very good free kick for Ivory Coast Bo, just within the range of Drogba's shot, but he didn't play according to common sense, this is choosing to drive the free kick into the penalty area, Yakonan's header in the middle is too positive!

In the first minute of stoppage time in the first half, the Chinese team finally played a counterattack, this time the attack was organized by the midfielder Hao Junmin, he even rushed to pass, handed the ball to Liu Yu, Liu Yu faced the opponent's three defenders, intended to use the rainbow tactics, the result was that the ball was still in place in the past, it turned out that the Ivory Coast used the tactics of passing the ball, they all knew that Liu Yu's terrible nature would not let Liu Yu break through.

Although this goal did not form a single knife, but still gave a good position of free kick, Liu Yu personally took the penalty, he did not live up to the opportunity of this free kick, the first free kick showed his footwork, this ball is an elevator ball, the erratic trajectory of the opponent's goalkeeper directly shook over, the ball bounced in front of the goal, the opponent's goalkeeper Barry did not dare to pick up hard, he chose to play the ball directly, Zheng Zhi of the Chinese team rushed forward to shoot, Barry Tiger down, the ball to hold on!

In the fourth minute of stoppage time in the first half, which was also the last minute of stoppage time, there was a little skirmish on the scene, the original warm-up player wanted to hand Zhang Xizhe a towel to the sideline ball, but was stopped by the opponent's warm-up player, and the players on both sides were tense and about to fight!

My good boy, this is the World Cup, if there is a real fight, it is estimated that both sides will be heavily punished, and maybe they will be canceled, Liu Yu is in a hurry, he is probably the most reluctant of all the players to have a conflict.

The referee on duty was very clear and decisively stepped forward to separate the two sides, which was the reason why the conflict did not escalate further, but for the reason of interrupting the game, the referee showed a yellow card to each player on both sides at the time.

There was not much time left in the first half, and the referee did not wait for the end of four minutes of stoppage time, and decisively blew the whistle in his mouth, and the first half of the game was over.

With Liu Yu's single goal, China took a lead in this game, and as for whether it can guarantee the victory of this game, it depends on the play in the second half.

Compared with the previous World Cup matches, today's game has a lot of physical support for both sides, and there are a lot of small movements in the hands.

Fortunately, the referee on duty was not very strict, otherwise someone would have been sent off with a red card by now.

The effect of China's training camp on these days is also reflected, the Chinese team's thinking is very clear in the anti-offside tactics against the opponent, and the opponent did not let the opponent play a few decent attacks, according to Camacho's current meaning, it is to defend to the end and win with this goal!

Of course, out of tactical arrangement, Liu Yu still rushed forward alone and put it in the front, because Liu Yu can put a certain amount of pressure on the opponent's back line in front, so that the opponent's defenders will not dare to press too forward, after all, Liu Yu's speed is there, even Robben can't catch up.

At halftime, players from both sides returned to the pitch! In the 46th minute of the opening game, the Chinese player made a corner kick in the breakthrough on the side, which was taken by Zheng Zhi, who deserved to be the master of the domestic corner kick, and perfectly arced directly to find Liu Yu who jumped in the middle, who jumped high and completed a move to look back at the moon in the air.

In fact, Liu Yu planned to head the goal header at the beginning, but he didn't know which player pushed him when he jumped, and he lost his center of gravity anyway, and the final worker could only make a difficult move like this.

The difficult action can not affect Liu Yu's shooting accuracy, although he can't see where the goal is, but Liu Yu still hit the range of the goal, but this ball is too positive, the opponent's goalkeeper Barry did not react at all, and directly held the ball in his arms on the spot.

In the 47th minute, Drogba dribbled the ball on the left side and barely got up to shoot wide under the attack of two people. In less than a minute, the Chinese team played a quick counterattack on the right side, the opponent's defender was too reckless, and his shovel not only did not touch the players of the Chinese team, but allowed the players of the Chinese team to easily break through!

Yu Hanchao dribbled the ball all the way to the vicinity of the penalty area and completed a high-quality shot with the outside instep of his right foot, but unfortunately the ball bounced off the post in the end!

In the 48th minute of the game, Yu Hanchao passed the ball on the right side of the Chinese team, but Zhang Xizhe entered the offside trap for the third time in this game.

The receiver of CCTV who watched this ball hated itchy, "Zhang Xizhe, Zhang Xizhe dropped the chain at a critical time, this goal can be completely passed, Liu Yu in the back is not offside at all, if you hit the door, you should be able to enter, it's a pity!" ”

"It can be seen through this ball that the gap between Zhang Xizhe and Liu Yu is not a star and a half, and it can be found through the running positions of both sides that if the Chinese team is composed of 11 Liu Yu, it will definitely be the first in the world."

The game continues, or the Chinese team organizes the attack!

There are midfielders who kicked the ball in a row, the opponent's defenders were almost played, and after finding a passing opportunity, Artemisia Junmin found Liu Yu in the big penalty area in a straight plug near the midfield, Liu Yu knocked the ball directly with his heel, the opponent's defender thought that Liu Yu was going to dribble, but he didn't expect the ball to fly directly over his head, Liu Yu got the ball in the penalty area, and the result was that he collided with the opponent and was blown foul.

In the 50th minute of the second half of the game, both sides used up the second substitution, but compared to the opponent, the effect of the Chinese team was more obvious, Liu Yu passed two people alone, facing the opponent's flying guard Akpa-Akpro, Liu Yu knocked it with his back heel, and passed to Hao Junmin, who was inserted in front of the penalty area, and the latter got the ball in the penalty area and passed it out, probably because he was not very confident, he did not choose to shoot, and Zhang Xizhe once again took the ball to the middle of the penalty area near the big penalty area, Liu Yu followed up with the volley and went slightly wide!

In the 52nd minute, Yaya Toure dribbled the ball and shot wide from 35 meters out. In the 54th minute, Yakonan received the ball from Pato in the middle circle, brought it to the middle near the penalty area line to shoot, Wang Dalei flew to save the ball out of bounds, the ball flew out of action very elegantly, that is, to save the ball with the tips of his fingers, and the perfect saving action won a cheer from the audience!

Wang Dalei is also narcissistic, and after saving this ball, he waved his hand to show his skills!

In the 59th minute, Feng Xiaoting and Akpa Akpro moved too much in the midfield scramble, and the two clashed, and the players of both sides immediately surrounded them, and both of them received yellow cards after the situation subsided.

So far, the Chinese team has received three yellow cards, which is not a good sign, you must know that this is only the first game of the World Cup, and now there are already three yellow cards, which is very unfavorable for the follow-up games, fortunately, Liu Yu, the absolute main force of the team, did not get a yellow card, otherwise Camacho could only cry in the locker room alone!

In the 61st minute, Ivory Coast brought on the last striker, which was to give it a go, after all, it was better to tie than to lose, they had to score.

In the 63rd minute, Akpa-Akpro finally passed Jiang Zhipeng on the right side, but after entering the penalty area, Drogba made a mistake in handling the ball and lost a good opportunity.

In the 65th minute, the players of Ivory Coast knocked down Zhao Xuri who was dribbling the ball and received a yellow card, Liu Yu quickly sent a free kick, forming a fast attack, but was interfered by the opponent's defenders, and finally did not form an attack!

I have to say that in addition to Liu Yu, the Chinese team's dribbling skills of other players are still very stinky, at least one-on-one is difficult to guarantee, and then in a corner kick opportunity, Liu Yu's corner kick directly hit the goal, and the opponent's goalkeeper hit the ball out, but did not hit the penalty area, and Zhang Xizhe on the Chinese side actually headed the ball high without defense.

The Chinese team has never used the third substitution, it is estimated that it is intended to be used in injury time, because then it can consume time to the greatest extent, in the 67th minute, the nightmare of the Chinese team, finally came, this time Zhang Xizhe, who already had a yellow card, was too calm, in the face of the opponent's small actions, he directly pushed down the opponent, and the consequence was naturally to eat a yellow card, so two yellows turned into one red and was sent off with a red card.

"Oh my God, this goal can be completely avoided, the red card has a great impact on the Chinese team, and the Chinese team will have one less person to fight in less than 30 minutes, which will be a great test for the Chinese backline, but in the next game, the Chinese team will also be missing a main player like Zhang Xizhe, this is really a nightmare!"

Of course, nightmares will wake up, because nightmares are not unsolvable, at least the Chinese team is still ahead, as long as it resists the opponent's defense, it can still win the final victory!

But the nightmare of the Chinese team, as if it did not end so quickly, as a result of a no-ball run in the fullback Jiang Zhipeng seemed to have a leg muscle strain, was quickly carried out by the stretcher team for treatment, after a short treatment, the team doctor still refused him to play again, the Chinese team had to use up, originally wanted to keep the third substitution place, on the way to the fullback, the Chinese team does not have many good seedlings, there is no way, can only be replaced by a U23 youngster, But everyone doesn't know that it is this substitution that has laid the biggest hidden danger for the subsequent game, of course, even if Camacho knows that this substitution will lead to a change in the situation, there is no other way, after all, there is no other player to replace in the position of left wingback, but unfortunately Sun Xiang is not there, if Sun Xiang is there, he can replace it.

In the 73rd minute, Ivory Coast took a corner kick from the right side, and the Chinese defender headed it out, but the ball was not far away, and Yaya Toure shot high with anger.

The game entered the last ten minutes of contention, in the 75th minute, Akpa Akpro fouled in the backfield, Liu Yu shot directly from a free kick 35 meters away, the ball was held up by the opponent's goalkeeper with both palms off the crossbar, and the Chinese team formed a corner kick opportunity.

But this corner kick opportunity was wasted by the players of the Chinese team, and Hao Junmin's pass was out of the bottom line in the air, and the referee directly awarded the ball a goal kick!

The opposing player's player took advantage of this opportunity to quickly counterattack, Yakonan crossed from the left, Drogba rushed forward, Wang Dalei made a very beautiful reaction, he blocked in advance, the ball bounced to the feet of the U23 player who had just come on the field, the latter rushed forward with the ball, but was kicked back by the opponent's striker, this mistake was too bad, the Chinese team's backfield was empty, in the face of goalkeeper Wang Da Lei, the opponent finally broke the goal with a volley, and the two sides fought 1:1!

"Oh, it's a pity, the opponent finally scored, this time it was the mistake of the Chinese full-back, it was the U23 player who just came on the pitch, the player after conceding the goal looked very sad, it should be very uncomfortable, but given his youth, we shouldn't blame too much."

For Liu Yu, this lost goal is a bolt from the blue, originally he thought that this game was already in his hands, but he didn't expect the other party to seize the opportunity to score, for Liu Yu, now there are less than ten minutes, he must score again in these ten minutes, he no longer dares to think about the result!
