Chapter 1160: Catching Up with the Legend
"Rush forward, raise your head, be a hero for the soldiers, man, follow me, run wildly, burn hot sweat, rush forward, raise your head, the descendants of Yan and Huang cheer, husband rise with his head held high, leap to the victory and charge......"
At the moment when the Chinese players entered the stadium from the players' tunnel, the huge singing of Chinese fans erupted over the Bellario Stadium, and they sang very neatly under the leadership of the 'Dragon Team Fan Club', so it felt like an overwhelming and overwhelming atmosphere.
The Chinese players, who were already full of strength under the inspiration of captain Aillo, instantly felt a greater responsibility, so the energy that burst out was very terrifying.
The Algerian players, who had an excellent performance in the first half, were full of confidence in the second half of the game, and they felt that they could be inseparable from the Chinese team with their positive running in the first half, so they could still play in the second half, so they performed quite well under the temptation of possible upsets.
However, after the start of the game, the Algerian players found that their active running and scrambling did not play any role, and the Chinese team's style of play became smarter, passing forward when there was a chance, and choosing to pass horizontally or back if there was no opportunity, and the passing was a one-foot pass, so as not to let the football stay too much at the feet.
Elo, who was violated many times in the first half, also chose to cooperate with his team-mates at the beginning of the second half, which made the Algerian players feel very uncomfortable because of the ...... They always feel like they're punching cotton with a punch.
In addition, the referee on duty was very concerned about fouls against non-players, so the Algerian players who wanted to vent their frustration were duly punished, receiving three yellow cards in a row within five minutes.
In this situation, there has been a noticeable drop in targeted fouls by Algerian players.
The Algerian defenders had concerns and the defensive focus became less focused, and Iroh was very perceptive, and his decisiveness changed from the previous search for cooperation to the breakthrough first.
Ayello has arguably the best individual technical ability on the planet, and his physicality and personal explosiveness are so good that there is no way for an Algerian player who is not resolute enough to restrain him.
Soon, in the fifty-third minute of the game, the eighth minute of the second half, Iroh used his personal ability to win a direct free kick about 30 meters from the goal.
The goalkeeper Mborxi, who was in excellent form, felt very weak, because he knew that his performance in the first half was completely good, not how agile his reaction was, in other words, the performance in the first half had a lot of luck and was blind.

"This is an opportunity for the Chinese team because their captain Ai is standing in front of the football, the player with the highest free kick goal rate in international football in the last decade! He has scored against countless top goalkeepers, Casillas, Cech, Gianluigi Buffon...... Mbolsi, who hasn't known many people before this game, is impossible to stop! To know...... There aren't many players who can take a free-kick as a penalty. ”
As Iello placed the ball at the foul spot and stepped back enough distance, BBC commentator Lineker said excitedly.
Gary Neville, who was the guest commentator, smiled meaningfully: "Are you sure? ”
It was just a simple joke, but what I didn't expect was that former England legendary goalscorer Lineker nodded unusually firmly and said: "Sure!" ”
At the same time, the stands at Estadio Bellario became eerily quiet.
The Chinese fans, who have the advantage in numbers, don't want to affect Ailuo's performance, while the Algerian fans feel a little weak and don't dare to make any noise at all, because they know that boos can inspire Ailo's stronger strength, so they ...... They choose to keep their mouths shut.
There are even some devout Catholics who choose to close their eyes and pray to God, hoping that God will be with them to resist the direct free kick of the Chinese captain.
"Beep~~!!"
At this time, the referee on duty blew the whistle in his mouth.
Focused by the camera, Iroh first glanced up in the direction of the goal, and then began his trademark run-up, one step, two steps......
The distance spanned by the last step is a bit large, but it feels very coordinated, with the left arm swinging naturally from the bottom to the top, and the instep of the right foot kicking the middle and lower part of the football like a whip.
There was a muffled "bang", and the football quickly flew into the air and jumped over the human wall.
The Algerian four-man wall jumped up with all his might, but still couldn't rub the football, the speed of the football was very fast, and goalkeeper Mborhi watched the football jump over the wall and instantly made a foot move, from the far end to the near end.
But...... How can a person move as fast as a football running at high speed?
Coupled with the fact that Mbolsi's movement was started on the spot, how could the 7.32-meter-wide goal be covered?
The speed of the ball was very fast, and the angle was quite tricky, and the ball flew to the highest point without a trace of rotation in mid-air and then had a noticeable drop, and the ball almost grazed the inside edge of the goal post on the left side of the goal and flew into the goal.

"-Iroh!!" Commentator Huang Jianxiang's voice was full of anticipation, and as the football flew into the goal, his voice suddenly rose an octave, and only his hysterical chanting was heard: "The ball is in!" The ball is in!! Captain Aylo's direct free-kick finally broke through the goal of Algerian Mborhi!! ”
Immediately afterward, his voice changed, but his voice was equally loud: "This is Elo's seventh goal in this World Cup, and his fifteenth goal in two World Cups, he has equaled Brazilian legend Ronaldo and German legend Klose, and now he is in good form and has a good chance of scoring another goal in the remaining game time, creating the most individual goals in the history of the World Cup!" ”
"Ai God, Ai God, Ai God !!"
At the same time, the Chinese fans in the stands broke out into huge cheers hysterically, and then collectively chanted the new nickname of captain Iroh under the leadership of the 'Dragon Team Fan Club'!
The biggest reason why they don't call Iroh by name is ...... In their minds, Iroh is no longer an ordinary player, but a ...... God!
And Iro's performance has lived up to this new nickname, from the beginning of his career to the current World Cup, he has left a strong mark on world football step by step.
In modern football, which is increasingly defence-oriented, Iello has been able to score 15 goals in just two World Cups, which is a real freak, and this game is only his ninth World Cup appearance......
