Seeing Brazil's equalizer, most Asian media were also in a very low mood, except for the Chinese media. After all, the Chinese team is the only Asian seedling in the top 16, and the quality and progress of the Chinese team are also related to the collective honor of Asian football.

Yuhei Kitajima, a commentator on Japan's sports station 2, said: "The Brazilian team is gradually starting to return to normal, and the Chinese team is in danger. In the face of the awakened five-star Brazil, it is difficult for Asian teams to resist. Nakamura-kun has experienced it himself, so he should know that my words are well-founded. ”

Shunsuke Nakamura, the guest commentator next to him, nodded approvingly. He remembered his experience in the group stage of the 2006 World Cup.

In the final round of Group F of the 2006 World Cup group stage in Germany, Japan lost 1:3 to Australia in the first two rounds, drew 0:0 with Croatia, accumulated one point in two games, and faced Brazil in the last round.

What is surprising is that in the face of the defending champion of that World Cup, the first goal was actually scored by the Japanese team, which was obviously weak. In the 34th minute, Japan striker Keiji Tamada took the lead for Japan. Before the Japanese team scored, the Brazilian team, which had already qualified in advance, was in a collective coma on the field, and there were many fans who looked at the state of the Brazilian team and felt that the Japanese team had a chance to cause an upset.

But after that goal, the wind changed. Brazil quickly taught Japan what it means to be the defending champions. In the stoppage time of the first half, the "alien" Ronaldo equalized, and in the second half, the Brazilian team scored three goals in a row to freeze the score at 4:1, and used half-time to easily turn the game into a one-sided slaughter.

The rise of Japanese football has been based on the path of learning from Brazil, and since that game, the teacher taught the students a vivid lesson, and Japanese football has become more in awe of Brazilian football. Therefore, when seeing almost the same situation, the Japanese commentator felt that the Chinese team had no chance.

Japanese footballers have long regarded themselves as the highest level in Asia, and how can the Chinese team do what even Japanese football has not done?

I have to say that Japan's psychology of advocating the strong is almost pathological, which will make them ignore many things, not to mention that the strength of the current Chinese team and the Brazilian team is not what it used to be, and the Chinese team has a world-class coach "Silver Fox" Lippi, which is enough to change a lot.

A coach of Lippi's level has always been prepared for a rainy day, never waiting for the opponent to overtake and fall into passivity before making amends.

Just half an hour into the game, Lippi made a compensatory measure for the weakness of the Chinese team's side, replaced the young central defender Shi Ke of SIPG, added a point to the central defender position, replaced Yu Hanchao, and kept the midfield on the premise of not hurting the muscles and bones, the formation changed from 4-3-3 to 5-3-2, and the position of the king of martial arts came to the middle, and Gao Lin partnered to form a high-speed combination of the front.

One of the outstanding characteristics of Lippi's coaching is the decisive substitution and timely elimination of all hidden dangers on the field

After Shi Ke came out, the Chinese team's defense line was more compact, and Lippi specially told Shi Ke to pay attention to the side of the defense, and he could use all means to limit the offensive of the Brazilian team on the left side, not to really freeze Neymar, but Lippi's purpose was to reverse the momentum of both sides through the necessary dismount on the field.

After Shi Ke came out, Neymar's Brazilian team broke through on the left side of the reduced - not that Shi Ke and Deng Hanwen were able to freeze Neymar effectively, but Shi Ke was more committed and more capable than Deng Hanwen.

In the second half of the first half, the game scene was deliberately cut into fragments by the Chinese team, as long as the Brazilian team's attack developed to the sides of the wings, especially at the feet of Neymar, the nearby Chinese team defenders must be deliberately and without hesitation to use their hands and feet to prevent the opponent from continuing to break through.

For a while, the scene became much hotter, the referee whistled constantly on the field, and the Brazilian team got a lot of opportunities for set-pieces around the penalty area.

However, the Chinese team did not suffer a loss, and the French referee Tulping gave a relatively mild penalty today, and the handling of fouls was mainly based on verbal warnings. Only Zhang Linpeng got off from behind and received a yellow card after Jesus turned around and couldn't get the ball at all.

The Brazilian commentator protested very emotionally, thinking that the referee deliberately favored the Chinese team, He Wei of course stood in the position of the Chinese team, praising the players' ability to read the game has made great progress: "Learning to use the referee's penalty scale is also one of the reasonable means to control the game, we have suffered a lot in this regard, we must praise the boys for playing very smart today." ”

Fans joked while watching the live broadcast: "I've been hacked so many times, why don't you feel used to suddenly taking advantage of it?" "It seems that FIFA is indeed more powerful than the AFC, and the AFC is a game for Middle Eastern tycoons and Koreans".

In this regard, some fans said that it was groundbreaking: "The AFC is indeed black, but why is it that we are the ones who are hacked every time others?" The strength is not enough for others to bully you clearly, in fact, it is normal to blow penalties in this game, but the referee scale is relatively loose, and we are used to suffering, so we are not very adaptable. There was nothing wrong with the referee in this game. ”

In the 43rd minute, Neymar was brought down again, and Brazil won a set-piece in front. With Brazil's set-piece approach lacking high in the centre, midfielder Paulinho and centre-back Thiago Silva will both rush to the top of the pitch. Brazil's defence pressed forward as a whole in order to control the ball on the perimeter and launch a series of attacks.

The broadcast camera was mainly focused on the set-piece position and the Chinese team's penalty area, and no one knew that in the area that the camera did not notice, Lippi conveyed a gesture like a player on the field.

Neymar personally took the penalty, the ball hit the front of the penalty area, Liang Xin recycled the ball into the penalty area and gave the ball to Zheng Zhi steadily, after Zheng Zhi received the ball, he actually kicked the ball directly to the Brazilian team in the half.

Most people's first reaction was that it was a kick, but the Chinese team spread out faster than the Brazilian team, and in an instant four players pounced on the Brazilian team in the half.

Among them, there was a figure with the fastest speed, and He Wei could judge that this figure approaching the ball at high speed must be Wen Zhihao with his experience. However, the opposition centre-back Marquinhos was just one step away from the ball and only needed one turn to keep it at his feet.

"Fight back! The idea is good, but Zheng Zhi's pass is too difficult for Wen Zhihao to ......"

Before He Wei finished speaking, he suddenly saw the figure of the Chinese team approaching the other party like lightning, and at this time, Marquinhos turned and only half of the action.

Wen Zhihao was not in a hurry and wanted to cut the ball off the opponent's feet directly, but took advantage of the situation to sway the ball that was parked in place a few meters forward, and the back line was empty at the moment, which means that this is the purest speed duel between him and Marquinhos!

"Oh my God, chance! Wen Zhihao accelerates! Hasten! In terms of speed, he has absolute confidence to crush his opponents! ”

"This will be the most primitive speed and explosive confrontation of human beings, the Brazilian team is in trouble, and Wen's speed is not slow at all." Garcia said loudly from the commentary booth on Spanish television.
