Ashley Young received the return pass from Sterling, and was surprised to find that Wu Xi had pounced violently!

In a hurry, Ashley Young passed the ball to Henderson, but what he didn't expect was that Wu Lei, who has always been very conscious, ran to the passing route first to cut off the ball, and then ran towards the backfield of the England team.

Henderson angrily chased after Wu Lei, who was getting farther and farther away, and saw Walker and Stones teaming up to intercept at the same time, and he was a little relieved in his heart, but he didn't stop chasing back.

Wu Lei knew that he was very sad that he couldn't get rid of any defender of the England team, so he didn't wait for Stones and Walker to run close, so he quickly transferred the ball to Wu Xi, who was following up in the middle.

Stones scolded: "Fxxk! Hurriedly ran back to the middle to defend Wu Xi, but Wu Xi didn't have the heart to take the ball, and directly passed the ball back to Wu Lei, who rushed past Walker.

Pretty two-over-two!

Walker was in a hurry, and reached out to grab Wu Lei's jersey, but Wu Lei twisted it and got out of Walker's magic hand, leaving Walker behind in an instant, and Henderson ran to Walker's side at this time.

The England fans in the stands panicked and frantically shouted at Wu Lei, wanting to boo Wu Lei's soft feet, although they also knew that Wu Lei, who had played a full season in La Liga, would not be disturbed by their boos at all.

Pickford roared at his teammates, and it was only a few minutes before the Chinese team was killed, and it was not Dai Zhiwei's personal breakthrough.

"Great job!" Dai Zhiwei finally felt the help of his teammates, and with the experience of these World Cup games, many Chinese team internationals, including Wu Lei and Wu Xi, have grown significantly in both self-confidence and adaptability.

Just like Wu Lei, even if he can't become the leading scorer in Villarreal next season, he doesn't have to worry about getting enough opportunities to play.

Ashley Young frantically ran back into the box, Stones couldn't afford to explode anymore, leaving Wu Xi to rush back to the box to defend.

Wu Lei ran close to the penalty area, made a straight pass at his feet, just found a very small passing route, and sent the ball to Dai Zhiwei's feet.

The first time Dai Zhiwei got the ball, the England team's backline was frightened and cautious.

This is not a big enemy, this is the strongest opponent that England can face in this World Cup!

If there is still controversy about the number one person in today's football, after Argentina and Portugal were eliminated one after another, Dai Zhiwei is the first star left in this World Cup!

What Mbappe, what Pogba, what Harry Kane, etc., all have a huge chasm with him!

Harry Maguire and Kieran Trippier formed a double "gate" in front of Dai Zhiwei in an instant, and behind him Stones and Jesse Lingard were also rushing towards him, and the four players of the England team were about to surround him.

Dai Zhiwei admits that he is more authoritarian, and once he gets the ball in the penalty area, it is indeed rare to pass it out, but there is no need for the England team to only mark him and ignore the other players of the Chinese team.

After all, Dai Zhiwei just doesn't want to pass the ball, it's definitely not that he can't pass the ball.

If he wants to brush up the number of assists, as long as his teammates give his best, it is not a problem to win the Premier League and Champions League assists last season!

Dai Zhiwei's right calf swung rapidly, and he was about to shoot, but after attracting the attention of all the England players in the penalty area, he passed the ball back to Wu Xi, who stepped into the big penalty area - at this time, Maguire, who was originally targeting Wu Xi, had already gone to encircle Dai Zhiwei, and Wu Xi was now unguarded.

How could Wu Xi let go of such an opportunity?

Bending the bow and arrow, it is a spoon-like arc shot!

At this moment, because England goalkeeper Pickford stood in front of him, Wu Xi lifted his foot and shot, and Pickford had no time to make an effective save.

"Got it?" This was Dai Zhiwei's first reaction.

And yet—

"Bang!"

The ball hits the underside of the crossbar and bounces off the goal line!

But as the ball continued to bounce upward, Pickford held the ball in his arms and walked out of the goal line with the ball.

"In! Entered! Dai Zhiwei hurriedly raised his arms high, and then looked directly at the referee.

From his point of view, it seems that football has jumped over the goal line, but as for whether it is a whole jump over the goal line, it is really difficult to say.

At the same time, all eyes in the audience were on the referee.

England fans can't help but remind fans of the 2010 World Cup in South Africa 1/8 final England vs. Germany game. In the 38th minute, Frank Lampard's beautiful world-slick shot bounced off the crossbar and German goalkeeper Manuel Neuer scrambled to get the ball back, but the referee didn't see the goal. However, slow motion showed that the ball had clearly crossed the goal line. The England players were devastated after conceding a superb goal and were beaten by the Germans and knocked out of the tournament.

If there had been a VAR, the referee would have been able to see the obvious goal clearly, and the history of the World Cup in South Africa could have been rewritten.

In the expectant gaze, the referee slowly shook his head after receiving feedback from the VAR referee through the headset, and then stretched his arms forward to signal the game to continue!

The Chinese team did not completely jump over the goal line with this goal!

The score is still 1:2, and the Chinese team is behind!

"Poof!" Dai Zhiwei exhaled, what else could he say?

Today, apparently, Lady Luck is not on their side.

There was not much time left in the first half, and the game continued without waves.

The England team saw the energy of the Chinese team's counterattack, and they did not want to concede the goal in the last minute of the first half after taking the lead, while the Chinese team was more or less affected by the lack of a shot just now, and their fighting spirit was a little low.

In this way, at the end of the first half, the Chinese team entered the halftime break with a 1:2 deficit.

Dai Zhiwei, who returned to the wardrobe, directly covered his head with a towel and stayed on the bench in a daze, but there was no bad mood of frustration and depression, after all, he was already a famous football player who had been on the battlefield for a long time, and falling behind by one goal at half time was nothing to him.

The rest of the Chinese team is even more positive.

After all, they have already exceeded the task of this World Cup, and now they are creating miracles every step of the way, and naturally there is no pressure - the only pressure comes from the No. 1 leader in the stands.

In the locker room, Lippi also emphasized the tactics of the second half very easily, and the silver fox, who was originally in the previous life, now staged a miracle again, which can be regarded as adding the last touch of color to his already brilliant resume.

In the end, Lippi turned his head to look at Dai Zhiwei again, and said hesitantly: "Dai, at the beginning of the second half, we have to play a fast attack and try to get the score back!" ”

He can accept the 1:2 loss to England, but he prefers Dai Zhiwei to create a miracle again!

Dai Zhiwei had regained his composure, thought for a while and said: "Marcello, I'll try my best, the opponent's backfield has too much power, but at the beginning, presumably they will also be a little relaxed, in that case, I am still sure to score." ”

Lippi nodded, patted Dai Zhiwei's shoulder, turned his head to Wu Lei and said, "Wu, you have to run more to answer Dai, you might as well be more confident when shooting." ”

Wu Lei nodded hurriedly, and when Lippi looked at Wu Xi and Yu Hanchao, the two of them hurriedly nodded and said, "Don't worry, Marcello, we will try our best to cooperate with Zhiwei." ”

"Everyone, pay attention to the referee's foul penalty in this game, which is very powerful for the England players, so remember that the action can be bigger, don't be afraid of fouls!"

"Understood!"

The players of the Chinese team roared, and walked out of the locker room and onto the pitch with murderous spirit.

At halftime, the fans in the stands had already sung the song "God Save the Queen" cheering for the England team, and the song inspired the players to work hard!

This World Cup is a dream for Chinese fans, and it is also exciting for England fans, because the Three Lions have not had such a good performance in a major tournament for a long time.

England's players took to the pitch, already leading by one goal, and were more confident that they could put a quicker, more efficient counter-attack until the end of the game.

The second half continued, with both sides trying to get their hands on the pitch for the first ten minutes, with England showing no impatience as they took a one-goal lead.

As for the Chinese team, although Lippi hoped that the players would sneak attack at the beginning of the second half if they had the opportunity, the England team did not give too many loopholes, so Lippi quickly adjusted his tactics and let the players play steadily first.

But in the 10th minute of the second half, the better England team finally showed its edge!

As fans and reporters expected, in the second half, after the England team took control of the situation, they began to take the initiative to press the attack, and the Chinese team could only resist the defense, and began to increase the roughness of the action under the reminder of Lippi, and fought fiercely in the middle and back.

Unfortunately, this kind of brutality did not do much in front of the England big man who played in the Premier League.

Jordan Henderson played the ball quickly, Raheem Sterling, one of the best players of the first half, flew down the left and Li Xuepeng was easily cleared.

Raheem Sterling rushed all the way down to the bottom, and after breaking through Feng Xiaoting's defense, he decisively crossed with his feet.

Harry Kane scrambled to hit the goal, and Wang Dare, who has some mental knife attributes, showed great courage this time, blocking the ball with one palm. The ball rebounded into the penalty area, and Zhang Linpeng hurriedly kicked out of the penalty area.

The Chinese team escaped again!

The ball flew high and far, and fell in front of Wu Lei, who was actively inserting forward, but unfortunately he didn't wait for him to continue to go down with the ball, and was put down by Lingard, and at the same time as Lingard fell to the ground, Wu Lei was also brought down on the lawn, and the referee took out the first topaz card of the second half of the game and gave it to Lingard, and awarded the Chinese team a free kick about 40 meters away from the goal.

"Well done!"

Dai Zhiwei ran over and pulled Wu Lei up, although the free kick in this position is some distance from the goal, most free kick masters will choose to pass, but he has the ability to shoot directly after mastering the gliding momentum.

In the face of the imminent gliding momentum shot, the England team also seemed to dare not be careless, Henderson and Maguire lined up a five-man wall, and even Dai Zhiwei's Manchester United team-mate Lingard took the initiative to remind how to stand.

It took more than a minute for England to go just because of the crowd wall.

The referee blew the whistle for the penalty kick, Dai Zhiwei ran a few steps, pumped his right foot to the ball, and Pickford, who was guarding the goal, shrank his eyes!

Wearable full moon scimitar, reappear in the rivers and lakes!

It's a pity that because of the distance, Dai Zhiwei in order to pursue speed, the strength and angle are a little bigger, the ball flew into the air, fell to the goal, Pickford jumped, but did not touch the edge of the ball, the ball fell directly to the net on the top of the goal.

"Progress...... Ahh ”

Dai Zhiwei looked at the ball nervously, until the ball fell on the goal, and he suddenly held his head in his hands in annoyance.

Pickford poked the ball on the top of the goal, patted it, put it on the line of the small penalty area, and saw that the referee was already signaling to him to serve, and immediately passed the ball quickly to Maguire.

Dai Zhiwei launched a counter-attack on the spot, but unfortunately Maguire did not stop the ball and sent the ball straight to Henderson in front.

Zheng Zhi pounced viciously, and Henderson calmly passed the ball to Raheem Sterling on the wing.

Raheem Sterling got the ball and slowly picked up speed and rushed towards Hao Junmin.

Hao Junmin suddenly cheered up, opened his hands and gritted his teeth, and stuck in front of Sterling.

Hao Junmin's face changed, his heart tightened, and he slowly took a few steps back, and his eyes fell on the ball jumping at Sterling's feet like a cute and mischievous elf - this is a rare and extremely delicate dribbling technique in the England team.

Zheng Zhi saw Sterling approaching Hao Junmin step by step, and immediately ran over from the middle lane. At this moment, Sterling dragged back with his left foot and knocked down, successfully breaking through Hao Junmin's defense.

Raheem Sterling wiped over Artemisia Junmin, quickly caught up with the ball and poked it vigorously, and the ball quickly rolled towards the backcourt of the Chinese team.

"Why is there such an aura in the England team?"

The camera of the TV also kept chasing Sterling's running figure, and the fans in the stands and the fans in front of the TV held their breath after exclaiming.

Raheem Sterling gritted his teeth, the force of the ball he poked out was not too great, but the ball flying in the air was always faster than the player running on the ground.

Raheem Sterling made another powerful effort in his run, which was already extremely fast and significantly improved.

Feng Xiaoting in the penalty area gritted his teeth and saved from the penalty area, desperately running to the ball landing point, and the distance between Artemisia Junmin and Sterling was getting farther and farther.

Sterling ran past the linesman who was struggling to run to the bottom line outside the sideline, his body suddenly jumped, and his outstretched right leg hooked the ball that was about to touch the lawn just now, and then flicked to the inside, his body made a sharp stop, and he suddenly turned towards the ball and ran towards the Chinese team's penalty area.

The England fans in the stands and the fans in front of the TV suddenly burst into an earth-shattering roar!

Only Zhang Chengdong and Wang Dalei were left in the penalty area of the Chinese team, and when Li Xuepeng and Hao Junmin, who were running back frantically, hurriedly ran back to the penalty area, Sterling had already faced Wang Dalei with a desperate look in his eyes......
