The fifteen minutes of the break were not only a crucial adjustment and cushion for the players on both sides, but also the fans in front of the stadium and in front of the TV needed such an opportunity to soothe their nerves. It's hard to have other distractions when the players are fully engaged, and the fans can only hang their hearts in front of the TV, and the pressure and tension in their hearts are no less than the players on the field.

Beijing time is already approaching, fans who rarely stay up late to watch the game use the halftime time to remake a cup of strong tea, and more fans have prepared Erguotou in advance, ready to get drunk after the game.

Looking at the current Chinese team playing games, they have such confidence. This is a subtle change. In the past, in a life-and-death battle like this, which time did every fan not watch it with sweaty palms and heartbeats?

At this point in time, almost all the circle of friends, as well as sports post bars and forums, are active with fans who want to express their infinite emotions after watching the first half.

"There is still half a game left, and the national football team holds on! We can go to Russia too! ”

"Zhihao didn't show much in the first half! I love you more than I love the country, it broke out in the second half, and there is no need to be low-key now. ”

Of course, there will also be some bad scenery for everyone not to be too happy too early The post flashed by and was quickly drowned in a piece of saliva.

……

In the dressing room of the Khalifa Stadium, the two managers are engaged in the most crucial game.

Lippi did not comment on his team's performance in the first half, but instilled in his players a policy of continuous pressure in the second half. Glancing over each player, he said, "Although it ends with the current scoreline, it will be us who advances." But I don't want you to huddle in your box like a turtle and put pressure on them and hit their goals like you did in the first half! End it all with victory! ”

Then Lippi turned his head, changed his serious expression to Wen Zhihao, and criticized: "Zhihao, be decisive!" I don't want the core of my high hopes to be just a passing machine, you know? ”

The communication between Wen Zhihao and Lippi did not need an interpreter, so he could feel the emotion contained in Lippi's tone. Clearly, Lippi was unhappy with his first-half shots.

He wanted to ask if he didn't need to control the tempo, but Lippi's previous explanation to the group had already set the tone for the second half. Nodding slightly, he knew what to do.

The referee knocked on the door of the locker room a few minutes in advance, reminding the Chinese team to prepare for the game, Lippi rarely gathered everyone together, and finally explained: "No matter what the past of Chinese football is, it is you who change the outcome of the game on the field!" I'm 69 years old, and many of you are over 30 years old, so for your own sake and for me, an old man, to be able to participate in another World Cup, I hope you will persevere. You can do great miracles and make the fans of this country proud of you! ”

Before the kick-off of the second half, the players cheered each other in a circle, and Wen Zhihao said to everyone: "I think Uncle Pi was too verbose just now, just one sentence, him!" him until he's down! ”

"him! Win! All the team members responded positively, and even Zheng Zhi, who was wearing the captain's armband, was driven by Wen Zhihao.

However, as soon as the second half came up, everyone felt that something was not quite right. It stands to reason that after Qatar was beaten by the Chinese team in the second half, even if it wants to poke its head out to counterattack in the second half, there should be an adaptation process. However, the Qataris took advantage of the opportunity of the Chinese team's kick-off, and two or three players pounced on Zheng Zhi together.

He Wei's eyelids jumped when he saw this, this is the routine of the Chinese team in the first half, but he didn't expect the other party to treat others in his own way!

But He Wei reminded the Chinese team to be careful, and there was no chance to say it, because the situation on the field changed.

Zheng Zhi struggled to hand over the ball to Wen Zhihao, who retreated and responded, under the opponent's wall, but when Wen Zhihao was just about to pull the ball and turn to advance, a leg suddenly stretched out from behind the side, and gently knocked the football at Wen Zhihao's feet, and the ball that was originally controlled by Wen Zhihao jumped forward, and Wen Zhihao was also brought to the ground by the inertia of the opponent's tackle.

"Foul!" He Wei protested for the first time.

But referee Kraft's whistle didn't sound, and Qatar got a once-in-a-lifetime counter-attack, and the central midfielder Assadalah quickly dribbled forward. A diagonal low flat ball was stuffed into the striker Haydos from behind, instantly forming a three-on-two situation in the Chinese team, only two central defenders Feng Xiaoting and Ren Hang were directly in front of the attacking players, Zhang Linpeng and Li Xuepeng were still actively adducting and filling, but it was still a little slower than the fast Cheetah Haydos.

He Wei's eyes widened suddenly in the commentary seat, and he exclaimed, "Not good! The opponent's counterattack! Ren Hang stood in position and carried the other party! Wen Zhihao is chasing back to the middle, his speed is very fast! Hold on, don't pounce! ”

Ren Hang saw Haydos kill in the penalty area, and came up to intercept Haydos with great momentum, this time he had the idea of losing both, but his foot was still a finger away from the ball, Haydos suddenly changed the ball from his left foot to his right foot, and cut inward into the penalty area, and pushed the ball sideways to the goal, and another defender who caught up from the side, Afif, who had caught up from the side, had outflanked the goal, and only Wen Zhihao was the closest to him on the field at this time, and there were two big steps away. At such a distance, it was almost impossible to break the ball in front of the attacking player, but Wen Zhihao still instinctively stretched out his right leg, and the whole person almost slid against the ground.

Not surprisingly, when Wen Zhihao's body's potential energy stopped, he had just arrived in front of the opponent, and at this time, he was desperate to see that the ball was already lying in the goal of the Chinese team. Zeng Cheng thumped the turf in frustration, he was really powerless for such a close-range shot.

The Chinese fans, who were still enthusiastic in the first half, instantly quieted down, and everyone seemed to have been poured a basin of cold water on their faces and woke up all their illusions.

Afif, who scored the goal, deliberately tucked one hand into his sleeve, imitating a one-armed hero, obviously excited about beating the Chinese team by himself.

Everyone, including Wen Zhihao, could hardly hide their disappointment and disbelief on their faces.

How could it be! Are we lagging behind? In the first half, we besieged each other!

On the domestic circle of friends and forum stickers, fans have already scolded, and the barrage of online live broadcasts was also instantly dominated. In the first half, he was still praising the national football team, turning his face and scolding the fool mercilessly.

"I was actually put into one by the other party! I'm a civilized person, but I really want to scold such a TM idiot! ”

"Alas, let's disperse, Adou is Adou after all, and one more Wen Zhihao can't cure the root of the disease."

"I've watched this episode, spoiler it in advance, and then it will definitely collapse and concede one or two goals. It's really untouchable to tie the line, it's toxic! ”

"The familiar draw qualified, the familiar half-time siege without scoring, the familiar second half opening goal...... The familiar plot is still the original recipe, and the taste is still familiar. ”
