The game lasted 40 minutes, and the attacks of the Chinese team and the Swiss team were as tepid as people expected before the game, and even made people a little drowsy, but who called this a knockout game.

In all competitions, offensive football in the knockout round is almost nowhere to be seen.

The Swiss fans in the St. Petersburg stadium didn't care about all this, they all stood up and cheered for the team, hoping that the team could strengthen the attack in the last period of the first half, and it was better to directly knock the Chinese team to the ground.

Hearing the louder and louder voices in the stadium, Swiss coach Stokovich stood up, shouted a few times into the stadium, and then returned to the bench to sit unfazed, not at all distraught by the Swiss team's attacking difficulties.

Because, in itself, this is his tactical arrangement.

Just when the players of the Chinese team thought that the Swiss team was not too good and was ready to strengthen the attack, the players of the Swiss team suddenly accelerated their running speed and the rhythm of the game, the frequency of the midfield horizontal pass became lower, and the deep pass and the change of position breakthrough suddenly accelerated, and the Chinese team's back line suddenly tightened.

Zubair's inside cut caught Hao Junmin's attention, but he was so bold that he didn't pay any attention to Hao Junmin's threat nearby, and instead followed the ball to hit the goal!

This also aroused Artemisia Junmin's temper, and he twisted his body violently and kicked the ground hard. Zubert was about to shoot when he suddenly felt a strong pass from behind, and then with a pain in his ankle, he fell in front of the penalty area.

"Drop!" The referee blew the whistle and ran to Hao Junmin and Zubair's side to prevent a sudden incident between the players on both sides.

Zubair rolled on the ground in pain, holding his foot and neck to ignore the referee's shouts and pretending to be pitiful on the ground.

Xhaka negotiated with the referee on the field to ask for a red card for Hao Junmin, and Dai Zhiwei, as the captain of the Chinese team, also hurriedly ran over and sprayed him.

"I was standing at a good angle, needless to say, our team-mate just brought his body to Zubair's shoes when he tackled, and he didn't face Zubert with both feet, so he didn't have to pick up his cards at all! This tackle is a good shot! Dai Zhiwei rushed up and was stunned.

"How can this be a good ball?" Xhaka hurriedly retorted: "Is there something wrong with your eyes?" ”

Just as Dai Zhiwei and Xhaka were arguing, the referee on the field gave the final decision, did not give a card, but gave the Swiss team a free kick at the edge of the penalty area.

Seeing that the referee was not going to take out the cards, Zubel felt that it was not interesting to pretend any longer, so he stood up stupidly, pretended to be uncomfortable, jumped twice, and stomped twice to signal that he was fine.

"I'll go! The atmosphere of this World Cup has been spoiled by Neymar! Dai Zhiwei couldn't help but laugh when he saw Zubel Mali getting up.

VAR technology has been introduced in this World Cup, and the phenomenon of fake falls has been suppressed to a large extent. However, fake falls can be avoided, but the "performance" seems to be unrestrained, even under the attention of the world, the clumsy "acting" of some players still dare to show their hands, among them, Neymar's name is undoubtedly the most frequent.

It is undeniable that Neymar's style of play is gorgeous, and it can even be said that he is a bit of a "bully", which makes him the most violated player on the field, he has been violated 23 times in this World Cup, and in 4 games, Neymar has been lying on the ground for a total of 14 minutes, far ahead of the other players, but in front of the acting skills that can be seen through at a glance, Neymar did not take the card for this.

Neymar's tumbling was applied to various scenarios, detonating the Internet, and for a while, the discussion about "performance" was put on the table again.

"Performance" is nothing more than amplifying the damage, giving the referee more confidence to make a decision, which does not require the intervention of VAR at all, and the discerning person knows that it is "acting" at a glance, but "performance" is different from "diving", the former is just a way to exert pressure, and the latter is a way to deceive, therefore, until now, "performance" has not been included in the category of taking cards.

This has become the fundamental reason why there is a cure for fake falls, and there is no cure for exaggerated performances.

Zeng Cheng stood on the goal line and tightened his gloves, staring intently at the opponent of the Swiss team who was about to take a free throw, and then according to the video and his own judgment, he methodically lined up the human wall.

Suddenly, he saw Xhaka suddenly make a leg flick motion, and a bad thought flashed through his mind, and he immediately ran quickly towards the far corner of his right.

The ball went around the half-formed human wall, and suddenly appeared directly in front of the goal, the ball was fast and arcing, and there was a faint tendency to fall when looking at the flight trajectory.

In a matter of seconds, Zeng Cheng didn't have time to think so much, so he could only rely on his own experience to lower his body, stretch his body with all his strength, his arms worked hard to reach one point after another, and his eyes were staring at the football flying in the air.

He could even hear the wind blowing in his ears, and finally touched the ball with the tips of his fingers before it flew to the goal, poking it out of the touchline with momentum.

"Whew!"

This ball can be saved, which immediately made Zeng Cheng excited, and he jumped up from the ground with a touch of excitement, regardless of whether the Swiss team players heard it or not, they just waved their fists excitedly and shouted loudly!

And the players of the Chinese team also rushed to Zeng Cheng, hugged him in the middle, and patted Zeng Cheng's head excitedly, even Dai Zhiwei also ran over and slapped his ass twice unceremoniously.

"Oh, it feels good!"

Zeng Cheng's performance in this World Cup is really good, very stable, and one of the heroes of the Chinese team's ability to qualify for the knockout round of the World Cup!

The Swiss team was silent, they didn't expect Zeng Cheng to be able to save this goal, after all, the strength of most of the players on the field of the Chinese team is really mediocre, I didn't expect the strength of this goalkeeper to be too good!

The weak team goalkeeper is not just talking!

Stokevich on the sidelines patted his forehead with some regret, he was ready to get up to celebrate just now, but Zeng Cheng still made him happy in vain.

There was not much time left in the first half, and it came to an end after defending against a Swiss corner kick.

In this way, the Chinese team and the Swiss team returned to the midfield dressing room with a score of 0:0, and the two sides were evenly matched in the first half.

Fans on both sides can't wait for the second half to get off to a moment's notice, and today the St. Petersburg stadium was filled with laughter and laughter from both sides, and the first half of the game was enough to give their fans confidence that their team would win the game!

At half-time, Lippi was basically satisfied with the team's performance in the first half, and did not make too many changes in tactics, but repeatedly emphasized the team's established tactics, that is, to base on defense and then attack.

But for the beginning of the second half, the old and spicy Silver Fox has his special thoughts, the Swiss team seems to be a little slow to heat up this World Cup, is it possible for the Chinese team to take advantage of the opponent's lack of concentration at the beginning to score a goal?

Lippi pondered, and he shared his whimsical thoughts with the players on the field.

When the players from both sides started to enter, the St. Petersburg stadium was filled with cheers and boos, which meant that their throats, which had just rested for 15 minutes, were about to start working again!

The referee blew a whistle, Dai Zhiwei rolled the football, and Wu Lei passed the ball back to Dai Zhiwei.

Demic, the striker of the Swiss team, who stepped forward to actively steal, couldn't help but slow down his pace, and for a moment, he thought that this was the two people in front of him warming up.

But Dai Zhiwei's sudden acceleration brought Delmic to his senses, and it turned out that the referee really blew the whistle for the start of the game.

There was a pause here, but it was suddenly activated there, and Dermic was flashed by Dai Zhiwei in an instant.

In front of Dai Zhiwei was Shaqiri of the Swiss team, the opponent obviously had not yet entered the game, and the movement under his feet was also half a beat slower, but Dai Zhiwei easily shook him with a change of direction.

As soon as he kicked off, Dai Zhiwei connected the two, showing his strong breakthrough ability, which surprised the players of the Swiss team, lest he break through and cause trouble, and other players hurriedly surrounded him.

At this time, Dai Zhiwei no longer continued to break through, he knew what it meant to accept when he saw it.

Dai Zhiwei made a powerful overhead pass sideways, and Yu Han on the right side stepped forward quickly, and just when the football was about to pop out of the sideline, he jumped in the air and stopped the football.

The Swiss team's Jemaili hurriedly took the opportunity to step forward to break the ball, but he didn't expect Hanchao's breakthrough to be very resolute, just fell a little adjustment, and with a poke of his right foot, the football drilled through the middle of Jemaeli's legs.

Zhema Yili subconsciously closed his legs but couldn't stop the football, Yu Han quickly took the ball and continued to break through, and quickly caught up with the football.

The St. Petersburg stadium suddenly resounded with an exclamation, and the Swiss fans did not expect that the little-known Chinese player would successfully break through.

After breaking through the defense of Djemayili, Yu Hanchao did not choose to dribble too deep, his eyes were firmly fixed on the chaotic penalty area of the Swiss team, he yelled, and then passed the ball to the middle of the penalty area.

With a "bang", Wu Xi squeezed away Michael Lang, who was guarding him, met the ball with a lion shake his head, the football smashed heavily on the crossbar, and was kicked out of the penalty area by the Swiss team player.

When Wu Xi was about to hold his head and regret, he heard a shout around him, and he only had time to look back, and immediately squatted down with his head in his hands.

In the next second, the football flew from Wu Xi's original standing head, and the Swiss goalkeeper Zommer just got up from the ground and had to fly to save again, but he failed to stop the football again!

The last time the crossbar helped the Swiss team escape, this time there was no one who could help them, and the ball flew straight into the goal!

1:0！

The Chinese team leads!

"The ball is in! The ball is in! We're ahead, pretty! From Dai Zhiwei's follow-up shot from outside the box! The commentator of Huaxia TV's sports channel is still the first brother He Wei, who sighed for Wu Xi's header a second ago, and now he has started to raise his arms and chant again.

"Dai Zhiwei's consciousness and ball sense are really good!" The commentator is still He Wei's old partner Yang Cheng in this World Cup, "Because of Zomer's save and falling to the ground, this kick is almost an empty goal, but Dai Zhiwei did not choose to stabilize and wait for the ball to hit the ground before shooting, but a direct volley, which is really bold!" ”

"Yes." He Wei also agreed, "If Dai Zhiwei stops and shoots again, he may not have such a good chance." ”

"Why am I so fierce?" Dai Zhiwei watched the football fly into the goal little by little, and he finally vented all the pent-up excitement in his heart!

He ran frantically to the stands, no matter whether it was the stands of the Chinese team fans or not, he didn't care to see which side of the fans were on the stage, he stretched out his thumb and little finger as he ran, constantly shaking back and forth in front of him!

Many foreign reporters and fans still think that he is paying tribute to Ronaldinho, but only Chinese fans know that Dai Zhiwei is comparing "6"!

It was his sixth goal of the tournament!

The camera on the sidelines was not willing to be lonely, rushed to Dai Zhiwei's side and kept aiming at Dai Zhiwei's face to take close-up shots, Dai Zhiwei lowered his head to the camera and made a gesture, shouting: "I am the king!" ”

The sound was still loud amid the earth-shattering boos of the Swiss fans.

However, no one questioned Dai Zhiwei's roar, because he is the brightest player in this World Cup, and there is no one!

All the players of the Chinese team behind him rushed up and hugged Dai Zhiwei warmly!

Dai Zhiwei's goal undoubtedly cheered the Chinese fans in front of the TV, although the performance in the first half was also good, but they were excited to score a goal at the beginning of the second half and take the lead.

The difficulty and importance of scoring a goal against a team like Switzerland that focuses on defensive counterattacks is well known to veteran fans, watching the Chinese players celebrate wildly, everyone knows that the victory of the game has begun to tilt in favor of the Chinese team.

Under the protest of the Swiss players, the referee did not give the Chinese players time to continue to celebrate, and soon blew the whistle to continue the game.

After the restart, the midfielders of the Swiss team all poured into the Chinese team's half, and in less than a minute after kick-off, the Chinese team's players were pressed to the half court and began to fight.

Dai Zhiwei stared at Behrami not far away, the Chinese team is now retracting with all his might, Dai Zhiwei's task in the midfield is not only to organize the attack, is to step forward to interfere when the opponent's defensive midfield takes the ball, so as not to let the opponent easily hand over the ball to the midfield organizer.

After the Swiss team fell twice in the midfield, Xhaka suddenly made a diagonal pass, the ball hit from the left to the right, Zubair faced Li Xuepeng's defense, calmly prepared to pass, and suddenly cut to the middle, Li Xuepeng hurriedly stepped forward to get in the position.

Who would have thought that the Swiss team's right wing-back Julu had been actively inserted at the beginning of the first half and then disappeared after a good result, but now he suddenly stepped forward, and Zubert did not hesitate to pass the ball back to the side, and the Swiss team suddenly formed a breakthrough on the right side.

"Be careful, the Swiss team has a strong attack on the wings!" He Wei was on pins and needles in the live broadcast room.

In the flash of light, Zhu Lu has already taken the ball into the penalty area of the Chinese team!
