After the start of the second half, the Chinese team unexpectedly suddenly strengthened the offensive, in the 47th minute, Gao Jun used the change of direction outside the top of the penalty area to get rid of the entanglement of the Brazilian team No. 17 Gustavo and then shot from a distance, but was saved by the young Brazilian goalkeeper Cesar, and the Chinese team got a corner kick opportunity. Yang Hao drove the corner kick to the back point, and Xie Wenjun, who had been waiting there for a long time, gave full play to his strong air superiority and beat the Brazilian team's captain No. 3 Thiago. Silva heads the ball into the far corner

"Ahh It's a pity that Xiao Xie's header hit the goalpost! As soon as He Wei's regretful words fell, he immediately became anxious and worried, "Beware of the Brazilian team's counterattack!" ”

Due to the strong individual ability of the frontcourt players, the Brazilian team's counterattack played very concisely, not giving the Chinese team enough time to defend, and the helpless Chinese goalkeeper Zeng Cheng could only take the risk of abandoning the goal, but the attacking core of the Brazilian team, Neymar, did not even give him the opportunity to foul, and a beautiful man successfully got rid of it

Just when the Chinese fans in the stands were almost in despair, they saw a short figure slashing out of the diagonal stab at a faster speed than Neymar, and flew to shovel the football out of the bottom line before Neymar touched the ball again, so that the noisy cheers of tens of thousands of Brazilian fans in the stands came to an abrupt end

"Xiaobai, well done!" Zeng Cheng, the goalkeeper of the Chinese team who survived the catastrophe, excitedly rushed to Bai Jiajun, who saved the team, but unconsciously remembered Gao Jun's evaluation of the two calves of the Oriental team a long time ago, "Although Xiao Wu is not very good, he has the ability to suddenly speed up the pace of the game, as for Xiao Bai, he can stop the game instantly"

Although just made a key defense that could well change the final outcome of this game. But Bai Jiajun's face still maintained his trademark smile, as if that kind of defense had nothing to be proud of for him. Despite this, Bai Jiajun's mouth was very modest, "Thanks to your attack just now, Neymar lost control of the ball, and if the ball is still at his feet, I can't do anything." That kid's ball sense is so good, I don't dare to shovel at all."

Generally speaking, defensive players are far less eye-catching than offensive players, but Bai Jiajun's brilliant defense still won the warm applause of countless fans in the stands, not only Chinese fans, but also neutral fans and even some Brazilian fans applauded him. And the head coach of the Chinese team, Stano, who was full of red light on the sidelines, was even more proud of his change of formation in this game, and it was too wise to use Bai Jiajun as a defensive fullback!

Pak's excellent performance not only prevented Brazil from scoring, but also allowed his teammates to be more comfortable attacking in the 50th minute. The Chinese team launched a counterattack immediately after the ball was broken in the midfield, Wu Qiuwang received the ball and pulled the side to send a cross, Xie Wenjun, Xu Lin and Gao Jun were all outflanked in place in time, and the Brazilian team at this time in the penalty area, even if the goalkeeper is counted, there are only four defenders, how can they parry? In the end, Xie Wenjun easily broke through the Brazilian team's goal with an easy header, turning the score on the field to 2:1. The Chinese team took the lead again!

"China's rapid counterattack was very resolute, and the four of them did not hesitate to press forward as a whole. Wu Qiuwang's crossing skills also look to have improved a lot, and it seems that he can now play even in a pure winger position. He Wei, who was smiling, grinned and praised.

"The Chinese team's rapid counterattack is really beautiful, from Gao Jun's straight plug to the pull of the martial arts king. Until then, the multi-level follow-up and outflanking have shown a clear routine, which should have been specially trained a long time ago. And the guest Gong Lei's comments were more detailed and professional, "I don't know if everyone has noticed." When the counterattack broke the ball, the overall formation of the Chinese team was not completely recovered, that is to say, the rapid counterattack of the Chinese team was played in the attack, not a counterattack launched in a state of shrinking defense. Although there is not as much space to sprint in a confrontation situation, it is actually enough, and being closer to the goal can greatly reduce the time from launch to completion of a quick counter-attack, making it more difficult for opponents to defend against. It also avoids the formation being too flattened and causing too much psychological pressure or accidents (such as refracted goals) to our defenders. Anyway, in the front four-man group of the Chinese team, if you look at it by the standards of a world-class team, only Xiao Xie has a clear advantage in absolute speed, and other speeds such as Gao Jun, especially the speed of Wuqiu King, are more reflected in the first few steps of the start, so I personally think that this style of play is very in line with the actual situation of the team."

When he was equalized, the head coach of the Brazilian team, Scolari, was only a little remorseful, but now after conceding another goal, he completely regretted his intestines, if he doesn't want to look good, after scoring a goal, let the team retreat and defend against the whole line, how can the Chinese team have a chance to turn around?

However, Scolari is also a famous coach who has won the World Cup, and quickly adjusted his feelings, and issued instructions to the Brazilian internationals on the field to attack with all their might, and at the same time asked the back line to be more resolute in adopting offside tactics, "The Chinese team's attack is too strong, unless the defense line is contracted, it is difficult to stop at all." But now that we're behind, it's only a matter of attacking instead of defending! ”

But what scared Scolari into a cold sweat was that the Brazilian team's counterattack had not yet received results, and it was almost hit by the Chinese team with a successful quick counterattack. Fortunately, this time it was only the linesman who was a little slow to raise the flag, so that Scolari had a false alarm, with the super ability of the Chinese team's front four to grasp the opportunity, if they can successfully reverse offside and cross the Brazilian team's back line as a whole, there is almost no suspense about the goal, and even if the Brazilian team is strong, if it is two goals behind the Chinese team, it will be very difficult to catch it back

Brazil are the best team in the world, and with countless home fans cheering them on, they did not shrink from this quick counter-attack, but became more and more aggressive in attack, and their main breakthrough point was still the young leader Neymar. For this reason, Bai Jiajun even partially gave up the defense on the right side, as long as Neymar entered the 30-meter area of the Chinese team's backfield, he rushed up to focus on Neymar alone. Although he has praised Neymar's excellent ball sense before, Bai Jiajun just said that he is not good at shoveling, but it is not that he is completely unable to limit Neymar's play. In fact, after being entangled in Bai Jiajun's close defense, Neymar's performance was suddenly much worse than before, not only did the success rate of breakthroughs drop sharply, but even the passing was frequently missed

The reason why Bai Jiajun was able to defend Neymar, who is known as the world's number one star, into such an embarrassing situation is of course because of his extremely excellent one-on-one defensive ability and Neymar's technical characteristics, but also because the current Neymar still has the shortcomings of being strict. Perhaps because he is still too young, Neymar is still very thin now, and his 1.74 meter tall only weighs 60 kilograms, and his absolute strength is too poor

In the face of big defenders who are relatively clumsy, Neymar can also play to his strengths and weaknesses, using his dexterity and skill to take advantage. But against Bai Jiajun, who is only less than 1.7 meters tall but weighs 68 kilograms, and his explosiveness, speed and flexibility are the world's top defenders, Neymar has the upper hand in all aspects, although he relies on excellent balance and ball control skills, and he doesn't lose much of the ball directly, but his performance is still too much worse than in the first half, and he is almost completely unable to contribute threatening shots and passes, even if he can hold the ball and not lose it, what's the point?

Neymar, the leader of the Brazilian team, was unprecedentedly suppressed, and soon put the Brazilian team's attack, which was heavily dependent on him, into an unprecedented predicament. The Chinese team seized the opportunity and launched a quick counterattack again in the 57th minute, if it wasn't for the linesman's misjudgment to save the Brazilian team's life, the game may have been decided in advance

'It's obviously a good goal, and the offside decision is debatable.' After He Wei watched the slow-motion replay, he immediately shook his head.

And the guest Gong Lei said more bluntly, "After all, the Brazilian team is the host, and the home whistle is inevitable, I hope the boys of the Chinese team will not affect the situation because of this misjudgment."

Although he was saved by the linesman, Brazil's offensive still did not improve, which made Scolari frown on the sidelines. Seeing that Neymar was still holding his neck to separate the victory from Bai Jiajun after being deflated many times, although Scolari was pleased with his fighting spirit of not admitting defeat, it was impossible for him to continue to work hard, after all, the Brazilian team was still behind in the score. So Scolari immediately shouted at Neymar, asking him to go to the right side more often, and stop continuing to entangle with Bai Jiajun on the left side.

Although Neymar is already a big-name star, after all, he has only been famous for a short time, so he naturally does not dare to compete with the head coach, so he can only honestly move to the right side to move, but he suddenly feels a lot less pressure. The left back of the Chinese team, Rong Hao, was originally strong in attack and weak in defense, just a physical element zhì completely exploded his Hulk in all aspects made it difficult for him to deal with, if it weren't for the old buddy Yu Hai to help him fill in the position again and again, the left side of the Chinese team's defense would have been blown up to the scum. Now that Neymar has moved here, he has immediately upset the already fragile balance, and he is not a light straw, but a heavy weight!

In the 62nd minute, Neymar easily passed Rong Hao on the right side of the penalty area, and Yu Hai had to rush out of the penalty area to make up for the defense, but when he saw Neymar's young face, he suddenly showed a sneer, and his heart suddenly felt cold (to be continued......
