With just ten minutes remaining in the first half, both sides wanted to score a late goal to take the lead into the second half.

The scene suddenly became intense!

First, Yue Lingxiang was tackled by the opponent's Brnovic when he broke through with the ball, and this foul was not too serious but was "rewarded" by the referee with a yellow card.

Before the 98 World Cup, FIFA formulated a new game rule, and anyone who tackles the ball in the back will be shown a red card - regardless of whether you tackle the man first or tackle the ball first, such dangerous actions will be punished.

Therefore, the referee is quite strict when awarding penalties, and in the eleven games that have been played, the referee has shown a total of 38 yellow cards and 3 red cards!

(98 World Cup real record, Lao Bing, I took the record sheet when I watched the game 8 years ago, and counted it one game at a time...... ）

Among them, in the match between Bulgaria and Paraguay, Bulgarian defender Nankov was sent off for accumulating two yellow cards in a game, while Dutch talented striker Kluivert received the second red card of this World Cup in the match with the European Red Devils Belgium because the opponent scolded him for being a rapist.

The third red card was won by South Korea's striker Ha Seok-joo, who became the first victim of the new rules, and after 10 minutes of leading the way for South Korea in the opening 20 minutes, he was sent off for a tackle in the back, and South Korea were also beaten by Mexico to score three goals in a row and lose the first game.

Speaking of the South Korean team, it should be mentioned that before the World Cup, as the Chinese team was highly valued, the South Korean team, which is also an Asian team, naturally received more attention, and in the warm-up games before the World Cup, Yugoslavia and the United States listed it as China's stand-in, which had to make the South Koreans tout.

Perhaps the South Koreans, who were not grouped with the Chinese team in the round of 10, forgot how they were defeated by Ling Feng in the Asian Cup, and Cha Fangen shouted that he wanted to repeat the miracle of the Taiji Tigers who eliminated Italy in 1966 to reach the quarterfinals, claiming that the Red Devils wanted to bring a surprise to the World Cup and defend the honor of Asia with the Chinese team......

Fans all over the world don't bother to pay attention to them, it was North Korea that eliminated Italy back then, not South Korea now, and how can you South Korea be on a par with the current China?!

In this era, the Internet has become popular, and a netizen's comment on Sohu is a classic:

No matter how many Taiji cats have nine lives, they are still wild cats, and they can't be hooked with tigers; South Korea is South Korea, and South Korea is nothing; Two devils are two devils, and what is Goryeo; A stick is a stick, and what a Red Devil!

The so-called Red Devils were red in the first game, and they were jumped by the opponent's Blanco twice, and they didn't have a temper at all, and the first game of the Goryeo Stick World Cup was a big heel.

Grey Cha Beom-geun, grey South Korea – South Korea are also Asia's long-time patrons of the World Cup, but alas, they haven't won a single World Cup game since they entered as a country.

The other is Japan, South Korea and Japan have been determined to hold the 02 World Cup, but one is a team that has never won in the World Cup, and the other is a team that has never participated in the World Cup - by such two countries to host the World Cup, fans don't care about any economic benefits and the like, anyway, the record of these two countries in the World Cup is not qualified to hold such a large-scale event!

Think about 02, South Korea and Japan - especially South Korea's performance on home is how eye-catching, but four years later, both teams have returned to their prototypes - not to say that the Asian team in the 02 World Cup for the first time to enter the top 16 can represent the improvement of Asian football!

But the South Koreans are in big enough trouble, and the crazy performance of the home team in the 02 World Cup has made it more difficult for Asian countries to bid for the World Cup in the future - after all, no one wants to watch some garbage team defeat the favorite team with the help of fans and referees - and win so shamelessly!

The shameless are fearless, even for the sake of Asia's reputation, Ling Feng can't let the 02 World Cup be held in South Korea!

Let's turn our attention back to the game.

Brnovic's red card caused a wave of dissatisfaction among the Yugoslav players, although everyone also knows that yellow cards are flying all over the sky in the games that have been played, but such a non-serious physical contact to eat the card, it is natural to argue.

The referee will naturally not take back the cards that have been shown, and there is no big problem with the yellow card, which can also play a certain role as a control of the emotions of both sides on the field.

However, the referee from Colombia regretted it a little after pulling out the card.

Three minutes later, in the 40th minute of the first half, Zhao Jun was fouled while defending Stojkovic, although he only gently pushed the opponent from behind, but the referee showed a yellow card as if he was pursuing balance!

The two teams each played fifty boards, but it was obvious that the two fouls that were not very serious just now were treated like this by the referee, which really annoyed the players of both teams.

The experienced Ling Feng hurriedly pushed away his teammates who were arguing with the referee, didn't he seek death by himself when he had an awkward quarrel with the referee at this time?

At the same time, Yugoslavia's Mijatovic and others also began to disperse their teammates who were fanning the flames on the sidelines, so that the contradictions between the two teams were not aroused, otherwise - just think of the match between Portugal and the Netherlands in the quarterfinals of the 06 World Cup.

But then, the two teams moved a little bigger.

The referee's yellow card did not play a deterrent role, and on the contrary, it made the players of both teams have a rebellious psychology - anyway, such a small action is also a card, and a bigger action is also a card - so why not be a little bigger?!

Both the old horse and the opposing head coach Santraci frowned, and if it went on like this, the situation was very bad - but fortunately, the first half was almost over, and it was okay to tell the players at half-time.

However, things turned out to be unsatisfactory.

When the referee raised the sign for two minutes of stoppage time, the Chinese team planned an attack, Yang Chen got the ball on the right side and struggled to break through, flashed the defender Djonovic on the side, and was about to cross, when he suddenly had a heel pain, and then the whole person fell to the ground!

Back tackle!

This is a malicious foul that cannot be questioned!

The anger of both sides came up because of the referee's mistakes, otherwise FIFA repeatedly emphasized that the foul behind the back should be given a red card, and Yang Chen's breakthrough just now did not form a good opportunity, Djonovic would never dare to do this in his usual state.

But the daunted Djonovic was going to be severely punished at this time, and the referee from Colombia Tejada •Noriega did not hesitate to show him a red card!

Djonovic's foul just now was a bit wronged if he was a behind-the-back tackle, because he and Yang Chen were not on a vertical line, although it was a behind-the-back tackle, but it was not entirely behind Yang Chen's back - he just tackled the Chinese striker from behind.

Although such a move is also a malicious foul, if FIFA does not formulate this new rule and the referee enforces it more loosely, it will probably be a yellow card.

But, yes, yes.

Both FIFA and refereeing issues were taken up by Djonovic, so as the first Yugoslav player to receive a red card at this World Cup, he had to leave the game gloomily.

Yang Chen was carried off the field for treatment, and there were two minutes of stoppage time left in the first half, and it is estimated that he will not return to the field, and now the free kick obtained by the Chinese team can also be said to be the last chance of the first half of the game.

China won a corner kick in a good position – he was good only because it wasn't far from goal, but with the ball on the side of the penalty area near the touchline, it was almost impossible to get a direct free kick on goal.

Even Ling Feng, who claimed to be able to break the goal within a fan range of forty meters from the center of the goal to the center of the circle and the extension line from the big penalty area to the center of the circle, was probably powerless - because the position of this ball was no longer within the fan range just now, if it was said that he wanted to shoot directly, the angle would be too small.

Ling Feng stood in front of the ball and put on a posture of taking a penalty with his right foot, which made the Yugoslav players even more relieved - according to the arc trajectory of such a shot, they would not directly hang the goal.

If you have the left foot, you can also go around the goalkeeper and hang it in the far corner - just like a direct goal from a corner, but if you want to hit the goal with the instep of the right foot, it will easily fall into the goalkeeper's arms.

This is theoretical knowledge, but theoretically speaking, this ball is also possible, but it is too difficult to operate in practice.

Ling Feng glanced at the people standing in the penalty area, the average height of the Chinese team was at least five centimeters shorter than the opponent, and the body was not as good as the opponent, so there was no advantage in the high-altitude ball.

Unless Ling Feng's passing position is quite accurate, directly giving the opposing defender the gap that he is not watching, otherwise, this opportunity will be wasted.

Just as Ling Feng was about to make a free throw, a bright light flashed through his mind, and he suddenly had a plan in his heart.

The referee blew the whistle for the free throw, Ling Feng started, swung his arms, his body was tilted almost to the ground, and the instep of his right foot rubbed hard against the bottom of the ball!

The ball flew in a beautiful arc towards the goal!

Goal?!

That's right! If the ball could continue to fly, it would be a very beautiful arc - if it was the outer arc drawn by the inside of the left foot, then the fatal point would be at the end of the arc, but the fatal point of the ball would be in the middle of the arc!

In mathematical terms, the goal line becomes the tangent of the arc just now, and the position of the tangent point is the dead end of the back point of the goal!

When defending such a free kick, the goalkeeper will stand up to the front, and by the time he finds the ball hanging towards the goal, it is too late to move back.

Although Kraji tried to make a save, he was too far forward for the ball that fell diagonally from the air.

The ball fell through the edge of Kraji's finger as he made a backward save and into the door!

2：1！ Ling Feng's stunning free kick helped the Chinese team take the lead again!

After the goal, Ling Feng did not show too much surprise, but stood in place and raised his hands into the air and shouted loudly: YES!

Similar to the celebration of Ling Feng's goal just now, one is a powerful wave of his arm, and the other is a raised hand to the sky - but they all show a problem, that is, before Ling Feng shoots, he knows that this goal will definitely go in!

Otherwise, he couldn't have been without a hint of surprise!

That advantageous arm wave and hand raise are all a demonstration of self-confidence!

"Ling Feng has scored again!" The whole of China heard Liu Jianhong's excited roar: "This free kick is extremely beautiful, this is a world-class free kick goal!" Ling Feng! Our Ling Feng! scored twice in the first game, and he is a well-deserved No. 1 player in China! ”

Too lazy to pay attention to Liu Jianhong's excitement there, it can be said that the fans in front of the TV couldn't hear what he was saying at this time, and when the ball entered the net, there was a neat cheer over the eastern hemisphere!

It was the cheers of hundreds of millions of people at the same time, and the Chinese team took the lead again!

And more importantly, the Yugoslav team sent one person off, that is, in the second half, the Chinese team not only led the opponent in terms of score, but even outnumbered the opponent by one person!

It can be said that the victory is almost in front of the eyes of the Chinese team!

Let's take a closer look at the goal we just scored.

If the position of the ball is moved back by 10 meters, then the reader will understand that the classic free kick scored by Ronaldo in the match between Brazil and England in the 02 World Cup is similar to this goal!

This ball is the embodiment of the peak of technology!

The speed of the ball was not too fast, it could only be said to be average - but compared to Ling Feng's powerful volley of the first goal, the speed of this ball was nothing at all.

But it's the angle that matters, as the ball flies over the head of the goalkeeper at the front and hangs directly into the back corner of the goal – so that the outer arc is more than twice as difficult as the inner arc!

Especially this kind of hanging door that falls high, the goalkeeper's height is a little different, and the position of the goalkeeper is a little forward, which cannot be kept.

However, if the ball is a little less powerful, it will be blocked by the goalkeeper in front of it, and if the force is stronger, it will fly out of the bottom line.

Brilliant to the pinnacle of the embodiment!

In the first forty-five minutes of the first World Cup that Ling Feng participated in, he used his left and right feet to shoot two extreme shots on goal!

No one knows what the final outcome of this match will be, but as a midfielder, Ling Feng's threat is still so strong that it has to make all the opponents of the Chinese team fearful......
