Chapter 1172: Breakthrough, Top Four!

The Chinese team's re-expansion of the score to two goals was undoubtedly a blow to the German players who had ignited their hopes of equalizing.

Mesut Ozil, Khedira, Gotze, Muller, Neuer...... 's facial expressions are not good-looking, including the German head coach Loew standing in the technical command area, his brows are almost twisted into a pinch of rope.

Naturally, in stark contrast were the Chinese players, who excitedly celebrated the goal.

Because a two-goal lead is a one-goal lead that is far from comparable......

The game was about to enter 70 minutes, but the German team failed to withstand the offensive of the Chinese team and expanded the score to two goals, so that the commentators in the on-site commentary seat once again focused on the Chinese team.

They are all experienced football match commentators, and their eyes are very vicious, and it is easy to see through the live broadcast that the morale of the German players is declining at a high rate, and if nothing else, it is only a matter of time before the German team loses.

And...... Losing a few is also on the agenda.

In fact, the German players on the field are already no longer holding out any hope for the game, because ...... Ayroh's performance left them with no hope of an equaliser.

However, Loew did not give up, and with an iron will, he believed that as long as there was still time to play, it meant that there was still a chance to play!

It's just that many of the players on the field are not pure Germans......

They don't have the traditional Germanic never-say-die spirit!

But he watched it better, and took advantage of the time when the Chinese players celebrated the goal, and he called the veterans Klose and Schurrle to his side.

It's clear that he's ready to make a final push for the rest of the game!

There are still more than 20 minutes left in the time, and it is time for the German team, which is two goals behind, to carry out the final stage of the counterattack, otherwise once the Chinese team takes advantage of the German team's lack of fighting spirit and scores another goal, it will really be useless......

At this time, the commentator in the on-site commentary seat was still praising the Chinese captain Ailo, because Ailuo, who scored twice in this game, has scored nine goals in this World Cup, and the total number of goals in the World Cup has reached 17 goals, once again refreshing the personal record for the most goals in the history of the World Cup that he has just created.

"Ai God, Ai God, Ai God!!"

The Chinese fans in the stands also collectively chanted the number of captain Iroh after celebrating the goal, and the sound was extremely loud, reaching the sky.

Although they do not have the economic foundation to support the Chinese team on the other side of the ocean, they can make a loud noise without recklessness, even if it is already one o'clock in the morning.

The game restarted, and Ielloh, who had just scored a brace, stretched out his long leg and blocked the ball from the bottom line from Klos, who had rushed to the ball, to Muller.

Immediately, the referee blew the whistle to signal the sidelines to make adjustments.

Schurrle and Klose replaced the physically exhausted Ozil and Gotze respectively to maintain the defensive pressure on the Chinese team.

Klose is the most experienced Germany international on the pitch, and this is his fourth consecutive World Cup, but his disadvantage is also very obvious, and the 36-year-old has a very serious decline in fitness, and there is no advantage to speak of other than experience.

Whether it is Feng Xiaoting or Shi Ke, in terms of physical fitness, they are enough to crush the veteran Klose.

Fortunately, Klose has a lot of experience and uses his nimble movement to shake off the Chinese defenders.

But the problems of the German team arose......

Mesut Ozil's departure has reduced the offensive efficiency of the front court by two notches, and it is not enough to rely on the scheduling and organization of Klos and Schweinsteiger, whether it is Muller or Schurrle, or Khedira, who has the ability to plug in the back, is not the kind of player with a wide vision and super through-ball ability.

So it's not enough to give Klose support.

"Hey, Loew's substitution idea is correct, but the substitution adjustment is wrong, without the organization of Ozil in the midfield, the German team's attacking thinking in the front field is very chaotic, Schurrle with breakthrough ability can only fight alone, and Muller, who is hidden behind Klose, has lost his due role......"

The German national television commentator has no intention of satirizing Loew, because in his mind he has already given the tone to the game.

The game...... If there are no surprises, the Chinese team will win the game.

※※※

In the blink of an eye, the game went into 80 minutes, meaning that there were only 10 minutes of regular time left in the game, and if the Germans were unable to narrow the score in that time, it would mean that their chances of equalising were almost nil.

So the German players on the field are getting more and more impatient.

But sometimes the more anxious you are, the easier it is to make mistakes, and the besieged Klos had to pass the ball back to Khedira, who took advantage of the situation to lead it.

I don't know if the decline in physical fitness is obvious, the strength of this collar is a little too great, Zhang Xizhe, who has a good defensive position, took a big step forward and pulled the ball back with his left foot.

Break the ball!

Just as he was about to fight back, Khedira fouled behind him.

"-Beep!!"

Immediately after, the referee's whistle sounded.

Finished!

There was a word in the minds of all the German fans in the stands.

Really!!

Khedira, who was reckless with the ball, made a tactical foul and was taken out by the referee on duty for his second yellow card of the game, two yellows turned into one red!

With ten minutes remaining, Germany are two goals down and have one less player on the pitch, and their chances of equalising are infinitely close to zero.

Therefore, after Khedira was sent off, many German fans in the stands chose to leave their seats and leave the stadium early, thus expressing their dissatisfaction with the team's performance.

At the same time, the head coach of the Chinese team, Pep Guardiola, made adjustments to the lineup on the field, replacing the attacking core Zhang Xizhe and Hao Junmin with Cai Huikang and Wu Lei respectively, in preparation for the next semi-finals.

"Pep Guardiola's substitution is the right idea, and it is very necessary to replace the main players when the promotion is almost certain." He was pleased with the substitution, but he would have preferred to see captain Iroh made a change.

Because Iroh had played the full game in the previous four games, he was a little worried about Iroh's fitness.

However, it didn't take long for him to figure it out.

The Chinese team with Iroh and the Chinese team without Iroh are completely two concepts, and the team with Iroh is equivalent to erecting a sharp blade in front of the opponent's heart, stabbing the opponent's heart at any time and giving a fatal blow!

In the end, the Chinese team defeated Germany 3:1 in the first quarter-final of the 2014 World Cup in Brazil at the Maracanã Stadium to reach the semi-finals, and their opponents in the semi-finals will be between Brazil and Colombia.
