Chapter 824: Neuer's Great Gift
Loew's third card proved to be the right one, with Gomez coming on for Klose, who could act as a fulcrum to keep the ball firmly at his feet and wait for support.
As a result, the game entered a stalemate.
However, this form is good for the German team, who are now one goal ahead, and as long as they keep the score until the end of the game, they can take three points, while the Chinese team can only swallow the bitter pill of the loss.
Therefore, the German fans in the stands are still satisfied with the current situation, and the cheers continue to erupt, wave after wave.
Of course, the Chinese fans in the stands are not to be outdone, and there will always be an amazing burst of energy when the Chinese team is attacking.
In the blink of an eye, the game time is about to enter the 80th minute, that is to say, there are only 10 minutes before the end of the game, and the maximum is 13 minutes including injury time.
Gao Hongbo made another personnel adjustment for the Han Dynasty to replace Hao Junmin, which was also a counterpoint adjustment.
And the balance of the game was finally broken in the first minute of Han Chao's play.
Yu Hanchao, who had just been replaced, was still looking for the rhythm of the game on the field, Schweinsteiger suddenly played a long pass behind him when he took the ball in front of the court to organize the attack, and the fullback or winger wanted to return to his own side to assist in the defense according to the situation where the fullback was recycled into the penalty area, but the problem was that Yu Hanchao, who had just been replaced on the field, had not kept up with the rhythm of the game, and his reaction was half a beat slower.
Bad Stuber made a slight adjustment after receiving Schweinsteiger's long pass, Gomez relied on the advantage of height and strength to beat Du Wei and Zhang Linpeng to push the ball towards the goal, Wang Xiaolei reacted quickly, but helplessly Gomez's angle of the ball was very tricky, almost sticking to the left post of the goal and flying into the goal......
3:1
The German team expanded the score when the Chinese team took the initiative for most of the second half, which made the German fans in the stands extremely excited, and many German men excitedly took off their shirts and kept waving, and even some bold German girls took off their T-shirts and only left the cups to celebrate the goal.
The German commentator shouted hoarsely: "The ball is in!" Mario Gomez did not find his form in Stuttgart after his move to Bayern Munich, scoring only 15 goals in 45 appearances throughout the 2009-2010 season, which made him a 'parallel import', and the pressure was very high, and he exploded in this situation! Wonderful point-grabbing goal!! ”
CCTV commentators Huang Jianxiang and He Wei were dumbfounded, you must know that the Chinese team had the initiative for most of the second half, and it seemed that every minute could cause a goal, but in this case, the German team scored a goal to expand the score, and the result was unacceptable.
Even the captain Iro, who was standing in the half-circle arc of his side, lost his mind for a short time, and this goal was too inopportune.
Any team conceding a goal in the full 80 minutes of a match can be fatal......
Looking at the German players celebrating, the Chinese players on the field no longer saw any hope of equalizing.
Against a solid German backline, how easy is it to score two goals in quick succession in the remaining game time?
The difficulty factor is tantamount to ascending to the sky.
But at this moment, Iroh pulled the captain's armband that had fallen off and shouted at his teammates who had fallen into a state of distraction: "It's just two balls, enough time!" If you don't believe me, ask Xiao Lei!! ”
When Wang Xiaolei was mentioned, he himself was stunned for a moment, and then a memory came to his mind, which was the Champions League final in the 2006-2007 season......
Didn't Valencia score four goals in the last twelve minutes of the game?
Wang Xiaolei quickly scooped up the football in the goal and threw it directly to Iroh in the middle circle arc.

Under the intervention of the referee, the German players returned to their own half and waited for the Chinese team to kick off.
Many players already felt the joy of winning the game, but captain Lahm remained calm, clapping his hands and loudly reminding his teammates: "The game is not over yet, don't let up any slack!" ”
But most of the players didn't pay attention to Ram's words, just waved their hands casually and ran to their positions.
'We had really bad luck today, both of Elo's must-score chances were denied by the post and the crossbar, while the German goal was over the post! The game resumed, and He Wei complained.
At the same time, the referee blew the whistle, and Ailo kicked the football at his feet to Gao Lin and quickly ran to the front court to distract the German team's defense.
Indeed, his step forward directly attracted the attention of Boateng, Schweinsteiger and Ram.
Gao Lin, who took the ball, did not carry the ball himself, he passed the ball back to Zhang Xizhe and then ran forward with Ailuo's pace.
However, Zhang Xizhe did not pass the ball to the frontcourt, but patiently controlled the ball and organized the attack in his own half, waiting for the team's formation to gradually advance the German team's defense of the 40-meter defensive area before sending the ball to a dangerous place.
There is no difference between the current situation on the field and before the goal, Ailo is still the focus of the German team, Yu Hanchao mixed well in the Chinese Super League, but there is no way to face the tall German defenders, his passing relies on speed to eat the opponent, but when the speed meets the strong body and good defensive awareness of the Germans, it is difficult to take advantage.
In the 85th minute of the game, the Chinese team made substitution adjustments, replacing fullback Rong Hao with high school striker Yang Xu, the meaning is very obvious, that is, you use the high points of Ailuo, Gao Lin and Yang Xu to try whether you can quickly narrow the score.
The formation then became three, four, three.
"The Chinese team is finally going to launch a last-minute onslaught! If they want to equalise before full-time, they have to pull a goal back in regulation time, so there is no hope of an equaliser until stoppage time, but at this point they also need to be careful at the back, otherwise there is a risk that the goal will not be scored......... said Gray.
Zhao Xuri and Zheng Zhi were in charge of scheduling in midfield, while Zhang Xizhe and Yu Hanchao were in charge of two crosses from the wings, constantly hanging into the penalty area.
Although Iello won a lot of headers in the next attack, it did not pose a threat due to the interference of Boateng and Mertesacker.
After three minutes of bombardment without scoring a goal, the experienced Zheng Zhi chose to stabilize the pace of the game.
Iroh also realized that it was not necessarily a good thing to attack the penalty area, so he took the initiative to pull out the penalty area to control the ball.
In the 88th minute, in order to get rid of Boateng's defense, this time he retreated very deeply, defending the 40-meter area of the German team, parallel to Zheng Zhi's position, so Boateng did not choose to follow.
Loew, who was standing on the sidelines, frowned, but he asked Lahm to pass on the message and let Boateng keep an eye on Iello at all times, why didn't he defend in this situation?
So he stood on the edge of the technical command area and spread his hands into a trumpet shape and roared at Boateng: "Jérôme, keep up!!"
However, the sound at the scene was very loud, and Boateng did not hear his voice at all, and still stood in the 30-meter area of his own defense.
※※※
Ailuo retreated to get the ball, Gao Lin and Yang Xu cleverly pulled out of the penalty area, they knew that standing in the penalty area would only affect Ailuo's handling of the ball, and pulling out of the penalty area would create a better chance, that is to say, the current Chinese team is completely for Ailuo's service.
Gao Lin and Yang Xu ran out of the penalty area, and the entire back line of the German team followed out, otherwise there will be a huge gap between the back line and the midfield line, and when the time comes, Ailo decisively chooses to break through with the ball, then the German team's goal will be very dangerous.
As a result, the German team's back line and the Chinese team's offensive line were collectively compressed between the German team's 25-meter defense zone and the 40-meter defense zone, and the formation was very compact from the visual point of view of the fans in the stands.
At this moment, Yu Hanchao stepped forward from the right side to the ribs of Bad Stuber and Friedrich, and Bad Stuber ran diagonally with Yu Han Chao.
But...... Podolski made another fatal mistake when he pulled it out, and he didn't follow up on the front of full-back Zhang Linpeng.
Almost all the players of the German team did not realize this, only the goalkeeper Neuer was aware of it, but he wanted to remind that it was too late, and Elo, who was in possession of the ball, picked up his right foot and sent the ball to Zhang Linpeng's forward position, so Neuer had to choose to abandon the goal.
"-Chance!"
The live director cut the camera to the left rib of the German team's defense with the football in mid-air, Zhang Linpeng was completely in the same direction as Iroh's pass when no one was marked, and Huang Jianxiang shouted violently.
But the next moment, goalkeeper Manuel Neuer suddenly appeared in the camera.
Neuer took into account that he was outside the penalty area, he did not use his hands to catch the ball, but rushed to the top of the ball before Zhang Linpeng took the ball and pushed the ball out of the sideline.
But...... He made a mistake!
The ball was pushed by him to his side in a half-circle.
A second and a half minutes later, the German fans in the stands saw the point where the football fell and their hearts thumped.
Because the ball flew towards the ...... where it was just passed Iroh.
When Iroh saw the ball flying towards him, he knew what to do next.
Neuer's abandonment of the goal to clear the ball with a header from outside the box shows that the current goal is empty.
Friedrich and Mertesacker watched Iello's posture and ran towards the goal out of defensive instinct......
In the face of Neuer's big gift, Iroh took a big step forward, stuck his left foot on the turf fiercely, tilted his upper body slightly to the left, twisted his waist sideways, and kicked the football sideways with his right foot.
The parabola of the football in mid-air is flat and fast.
Of course, the crosshairs are full.
The football crashed headlong into the snow-white net in the desperation of all the German fans and German players.
