The two sides soon entered the stage of strangulation and attack, and no one dared to take this life-and-death battle that determined the qualification of both sides.

After Dai Zhiwei's astonishing heavy artillery, the German team seemed to be awakened by his long-range shot, and launched a wave of offensive victories, and the pace of the game was very fast under their dominance.

In the 17th minute, Timo Werner split the ball in the penalty area, and after Jule won the ball, he shook off Kim Jindao and suddenly shot a cold arrow.

Zeng Cheng was caught off guard, but fortunately the football was high above the crossbar, and the Chinese team was lucky to escape.

German coach Loew shook his fist excitedly when he saw Jule's shot, but when he saw him fly, he shook his head and began to stick his fingers into his nostrils again......

In the face of the surging offensive of the German team, the Chinese team could only frequently use fouls to interrupt the opponent's attack.

In the 22nd minute, Feng Xiaoting tackled Gorezka and received a yellow card.

Two minutes later, Zhang Chengdong brought down Reus in a wide defense and was also shown a yellow card by the referee.

Because Feng Xiaoting and Zhang Chengdong already had a yellow card on their bodies, if the Chinese team reaches the round of 16, they will be banned in the next round of quarter-finals.

However, no one cares about these now, if the Chinese team can't win against the German team this time, everything is delusional.

In the 26th minute, Reuss crossed from the side, Zhang Linpeng cleared not far away, Jule grabbed the second drop point in the penalty area, and fired a powerful volley, but fortunately, the football was off the door frame.

In the 39th minute, the German team took a corner kick, and after touching the ball many times in the penalty area, Hummels turned to hit the goal after winning the ball, but the hit was too positive and was defused by Zeng Cheng without danger.

After 40 minutes of the game, the German team's attack reached a new level, with the continuous support of the two wings, Werner used his physical and technical advantages to frequently force the Chinese team's backline, and the German team completed four shots on goal in just six minutes, but they were unlucky and each missed the target.

"Didi!" As soon as the whistle blew, the first half came to an end after one minute of stoppage time.

At the end of the first half, the Chinese team successfully defended the goal and drew 0:0 with the German team.

German coach Loew was the first to enter the dressing room with a cold face, while Lippi looked at his players and smiled gently, obviously the Silver Fox was quite satisfied with the first half of the Chinese team.

Throughout the first half of the game, the German team took the initiative and created many shooting opportunities, and the Chinese team had many dangerous situations in the goal, but they all missed good opportunities.

On the other hand, the Chinese team, although the scene was passive, Dai Zhiwei's second counterattack was very threatening, but many fouls and 2 yellow cards also sounded the alarm for them.

At halftime, in the locker room, Loew did not yell as he imagined, but drew on his tactical board for a while, then put it away, saw that his players were a little impatient, patted his hands, and said in a slightly excited tone: "Okay, guys, the game has just begun, there are at least 45 minutes left for us to win, cheer up, be more patient in the second half, the Chinese team's defense is about to be completely destroyed by us......"

And in the locker room of the Chinese team, Lippi also looked at his players with a serious face at this time, and he knew very well that now was not the time to relax.

Lippi looked at his backline and said: "You played very well in the first half, especially in the last few minutes, when you withstood the charge of the reigning World Cup champions. However, the second half will be a bigger test, so you have to keep your concentration high and the Germans' death-defying counter-attacks will become more terrifying, and you have to stand up for yourself when they attack. Location, which is the most important ......"

The coaches of both sides took advantage of the fifteen-minute break to repeatedly and meticulously instruct that no one wanted to give up this game when it came to this.

Originally, the Chinese team just went to the game with the idea of winning less before the game, but at this juncture, they found that they might be able to get a point, and their spirit was even more vigorous!

The eyes of the whole world were watching this game, and the second half was extremely antique, and in the eyes of everyone, the referee blew the whistle for the start of the second half.

When the game restarted, the Germans did not go on a frantic attack as expected, but sent the ball to the back of the field directly to the feet of Khedira and then to Ozil.

Ozil took a few steps and sent it to the feet of Kroos, who then crossed to the flanks and pressed himself down the middle, in good order.

The Germans began to attack slowly and did not seem to be in a hurry to break the deadlock on the pitch, with Mesut Ozil also on the flank, reversing the ball in midfield as before.

The game was uneventful, and the German team did not come up with a wave of attack as in the first half, and the ball was more rolled between the players of both sides. In the face of this slow attack, the Chinese team also kept in mind Lippi's tactical arrangement, firmly held its defensive position, and was not scattered by the opponent's scheduling.

In the 50th minute of the game, Dai Zhiwei pressed the football at the feet of Ozil, but Ozil decisively sent the ball to the feet of Reuss, and then the small rocket squeezed past Wu Lei, and easily received the ball, with a strong shoulder, knocked Wu Lei away, and cut into the middle at high speed.

"Well done!" The German team commentator screamed excitedly when he saw Reus dribbling the ball all the way.

Goretzka and Kroos had already arrived in their respective positions, while Timo Werner in front of him had already begun to cut in into the box.

Zheng Zhi behind him hurriedly stepped forward to catch up, stuck Royce's body, and didn't let him get off the ball, the two were entangled all the way, and soon came to the edge of the penalty area, and Jin Jindao also hurried over to intercept the ball.

Royce felt that Zheng Zhi was not as easy to deal with as he imagined, and Jin Jindao came over, hurriedly buckled, stepped on the ball, and quickly knocked the ball to the middle.

"Oops!"

At this time, Jin Jindao suddenly noticed that something was wrong, there was no one in the middle lane, Kroos had already pulled to the left side when Royce cut in just now, and Zheng Zhi was taken away by him.

Jule had already plugged in at high speed at this time, and swung his thighs high against the ball, Feng Xiaoting was startled and hurriedly stepped forward to block it.

But at this time, Jule pushed with his foot, and Werner had already subconsciously inserted himself in front of the penalty area at that moment.

Zhang Linpeng's explosiveness is good, and the starting speed is on par with Werner, following him closely and not being thrown away.

Werner easily unloaded the ball in front of the penalty area, and made a deft pick, trying to avoid the Chinese team's national goal Zeng Cheng's block, but he didn't expect to be waited for by Zhang Linpeng.

Zhang Linpeng cleared the ball with a big kick and drove Werner's jump ball out of the touchline.

"Well done! It's so beautiful, Zhang Linpeng has lived up to our trust, and he has taken on the responsibility of the core of the Chinese team's defense! Seeing that the German team's attack this time was unsuccessful, He Wei finally shouted out the depressed breath that had been holding back in his chest.

When Lippi saw this clearance, he also pursed his lips and waved his arm, with a hint of pride, the meaning was obvious - "Look, this is the back line I built!" ”

The biggest change that Lippi brought to the Chinese team is still in the back line, as for the attack, there is only one tactic, which is to hand it over to Dai Zhiwei.

It is also this backline built by Lippi that allowed the Chinese team to draw 2:2 with Sweden and Mexico in two consecutive games, and today has kept a clean sheet against the invincible German team so far.

The German team once again lost a good chance to score, how could they be reconciled, they didn't think about a draw today, this game has to be won no matter what.

As soon as the game resumed, the Germans launched an onslaught.

In the 56th minute, Reus dribbled past Zhang Chengdong on the side, squeezed Zheng Zhi away, and sent the ball to the feet of Jule, and Timo Werner had opened up space for him, allowing him to play with ease on the left side, as if no one was in a nobody's land.

Jule successfully hit the penalty area, used his own skills, faked a real shot at 14 yards, shook off Zhang Linpeng, and then directly shot a low shot, but was held in the arms of Zeng Cheng, who was prepared.

Just when the Chinese players were still congratulating that they had escaped again, Zeng Cheng's big foot was intercepted by the German team, and then immediately launched a counterattack, Khedira sent the ball to Kroos's feet, Kroos did not make any adjustments, and sent the ball directly to Ozil's side.

This time on the field once again proved that no matter how fast people are, no ball comes quickly, after Ozil received the ball, he did not dribble the ball, and directly threw his big foot, and crossed the half court directly to the figure running at high speed.

Timo Werner unloaded the ball with ease and drove straight in.

The 22-year-old faced the 38-year-old Zheng Zhi who wanted to use the change of pace to break through the opponent, but he underestimated the veteran captain of the Chinese team too much, and Zheng Zhi saw an opportunity to poke the football out of Werner's control.

Timo Werner crossed his hands on his waist and watched helplessly as Zheng Zhi, who was 16 years his senior, took control of the ball he had just dribbled at his feet and launched an attack, and at this moment, he felt powerless like never before.

"Take off your coat! Get ready to play! Get ready to play! Seeing that there was less than half an hour left in the game, Loew could no longer sit still and began to deploy troops.

In the 62nd minute, German striker Gomez replaced Khedira. One minute later, Thomas Müller came on for Goretzka. Gomez and Muller showed that Germany want to make changes in attack.

Gomez and Thomas Muller on the field made the situation of the Chinese team more critical, Gomez, Werner and Thomas Muller on the front line were like clockwork, constantly running, the three of them showed their skills and speed, and pounced on the Chinese team's backfield like fierce beasts.

Zheng Zhi didn't know that he had been broken through by Thomas Müller a few times, and Feng Xiaoting and Zhang Linpeng finally saw the demeanor of the German chariot charging without any scruples.

At the same time, Mesut Ozil and Kroos can bring a hint of threat in the midfield, and the Chinese team players have to defend with all their might, chasing and following the German team's attacking players, making themselves like a tireless wolf preying on the wolves.

The players of the Chinese team flocked to their own half of the court for a while to participate in the defense, and even Dai Zhiwei ran and intercepted near the center circle.

They are like warriors who don't want to die, messing with the players of the German team again and again, even if they fall, they will pull down the players of the German team, and they don't care whether they will be sent off or not.

The referee showed a total of five yellow cards, all of which were given to the Chinese team, and even Dai Zhiwei carried a yellow card, and under such madness, they stood up to the German team's wave after wave of offensives.

The game entered a wonderful offensive and defensive battle, the German team has threatened the attack and defense again and again, the fans who watched the scene have been watching for a long time, and in front of the TV, the fans on both sides are nervous at night, afraid of missing any round, only neutral fans are addicted, and the speed of the commentators of each channel has not been able to keep up with the offensive and defensive conversion of the players on both sides.

In the fierce attack and defense, the German team never broke through the goal of the Chinese team, and the old captain Zheng Zhi had been replaced by Chi Zhongguo at this time, and his physical strength was no longer enough to support the final game.

At this time, the game has come to the last 10 minutes of the regular 90 minutes, and the physical fitness and concentration of the Chinese team have collapsed to the limit, and it is one step away from the final collapse.

Lippi kept walking on the sidelines, and at this juncture, he couldn't do anything but look at the mental quality of the players on the field.

Loew on the other side was also chewing something in his mouth, and he also saw that the Chinese team was almost at the limit, but today the German team players were like they didn't have shooting boots, and their performance at the goal was extremely poor, and he was also very anxious.

In the 82nd minute, Thomas Muller received a pass from Ozil, and in front of him stood Artemisia Junmin, who was already dead on Thomas Muller's in-cut route.

Thomas Muller gently lifted his left foot outward, sideways, trying to hit the bottom line, Artemisia Junmin quickly made up the upper and lower positions, but Thomas Muller's center of gravity quickly retracted, then toe flick, quickly turned, and brought the ball back, and then squeezed past Artemisia Junmin, who wanted to intercept him, forced him out of the sideline, and cut decisively.

At this point, Gomez retreated to the outside of the box, saw Thomas Muller enter, quickly ran up, Thomas Muller had the heart to send the ball to Gomez's feet.

After Gomez got the ball, facing Zhang Linpeng's defense, he quickly dribbled the ball to the right side, ready to cut into the penalty area, and when he reached the arc of the penalty area, he suddenly dunked the ball, his body stopped urgently, changed direction quickly, and then poked his toes lightly.

Just as Gomes poked the ball over, Kroos didn't know what had appeared in the arc of the penalty area, and quickly cut in to intercept the ball.

The Chinese team was shocked, because Kroos was able to hit a very dangerous shot even while on the move, so Feng Xiaoting and Zhang Linpeng hurriedly stepped forward to block.

In the defense of Feng Xiaoting and Zhang Linpeng, Kroos did not shoot from a distance, but in the chaos of the army, it was more like an aimless send to the left.

Li Xuepeng saw the ball coming out of the crowd, and at this time, as the last line of defense in front of Zeng Cheng, he quickly ran over and was about to clear the siege, but suddenly felt a gust of wind in his ears, which made his scalp tingle.

Who is it?
