Chapter 639: Captain's Armband!

After scoring two goals in a row, the Australian team also began to adjust.

The Kangaroos manager made a substitution at the 65th minute of the game.

He replaced Cahill, the scorer of the brace, with a central midfielder. At this moment, the formation of the Kangaroo Army has changed from the starting four-four-two to four-five formation, which is a typical idea of starting to strengthen the defense.

Cahill is 35 years old and his age and fitness are no longer enough to allow him to play the full 90 minutes of every game. So there's no problem with replacing him in a defensive midfield, especially if they're still two goals ahead.

But the Australians have apparently forgotten that there is a player in this Chinese team that must not be speculated by common sense, and that is Li Zihan. When Li Zihan had no special watch for sixty-five minutes, they forgot about the striker who gave many top European giants a headache!

In the seventy-second minute of the game, Li Zihan's wonderful watch xiàn recovered a goal for the team! It was a beautiful individual who suddenly drew a foul on the opposing player, and then China won a direct free kick in a good position up front.

Although the referee was keen to help Australia, the foul would have been too blunt if not blown.

Of course, Australians know that their set-pieces are very good, so they build the human wall very high, and the average height is more than 1.85 meters!

Just when everyone was defending Li Zihan's direct shot, Li Zihan chose to cooperate with his teammates.

Facing Li Zihan jumped up and passed the football above his head, Guangzhou Evergrande team center Gao Lin jumped to the top, and when everyone's attention was on Li Zihan's direct shot, Gao Lin's header broke the opponent's goal very easily.

Two to one! The game only lasted 72 minutes, and the Chinese team still had hope! However, Li Zihan seems to have a special relationship with the mantissa of two, and often he scores or assists for 12 minutes, 52 minutes, 72 minutes and 82 minutes, and even his jersey number is 12.

Good fellow, even he himself is more than two! Although Da Han Niang herself does not admit it!

Affected by Gao Lin's goal, the Chinese team played more actively in the following games, of course, this is also a crucial reason for the absence of Cahill's suppression at the back.

Finally, in the 82nd minute of the game, the Chinese team equalized the score. The amount is the mantissa with two

Li Zihan made a very beautiful individual breakthrough and then handed over the football to Wu Lei. Wu Lei distributed the ball to Wang Shangyuan on the side, and Wang Shangyuan broke through the bottom on the right.

Such a sudden break on the left flank and a cross, and finally the ball in the middle and immediately split to the right flank, which suddenly caught the Australian defenders at a loss.

And Wang Shangyuan did not cross after going down, but gave the football to Zhang Linpeng, who came up to set the side, and then bypassed the fullback himself and cut inside.

After Zhang Linpeng took the ball, he made a decisive cross. Gao Lin rushed over to scramble for the front point, but he was just a front, and the football did not fly towards his front point.

The football fell on Wu Lei behind Gao Lin, Wu Lei unloaded the football with his chest, and then picked his legs to shoot.

The Australian central defender and goalkeeper immediately blocked the vacant position, but Wu Lei This was just a feint, and he immediately gave the football to Wang Shangyuan, who cut in from the side.

Wang Shangyuan did not hesitate and hit the far corner directly in the near corner of the goal.

The Australian goalkeeper was unprepared and watched as the ball flew into the far corner of the goal.

Just when everyone thought the goal was going to be scored, the ball did not fly into the side of the net, but slid through the goal.

Australian fans breathed a sigh of relief, but within a second, the plot took a turn.

Li Zihan on the other side suddenly appeared at the far post, and then kicked the football that was about to roll out of the bottom line, and then the football flew into the Australian goal at a speed more than ten times faster than Li Zihan appeared in this position.

"Goal - Scored !!!"

In an instant, the Chinese fans who came to Brisbane Stadium to watch the game jumped from their seats, and huge cheers filled the entire stadium.

"Two to two!! Just on the verge of the Chinese team's elimination, Li Zihan once again saved the team!! With an assist and a goal, he pulled China back!! ”

"The game is about to enter the favorite extra time, but I don't know if there will be a thrilling penalty shootout!"

The Australian coach was also very annoyed by the goal conceded, but there was no way, since the ball had been lost, he had to think of a way forward.

He gave the whole team a steady order, obviously he would rather drag the game into extra time than have a big ups and downs in this kind of game that ends in less than ten minutes, after all, the morale of the opponent has risen now, and the morale of his own side is at a low point.

"Extra-time is not good for the Chinese team, because considering the fitness problems after that, the Chinese team will definitely not be able to keep up with the Australians. But as far as the situation of this game is concerned, it is very lucky for the Chinese team to be dragged into overtime, because there is still hope for overtime. ”

Perrin obviously also understands that the physical strength of the whole team has been almost exhausted now, and if it drags on until overtime, the 120-minute game may not be over, and nearly half of the Chinese team will fall to the ground with cramps in their legs.

So in the 85th minute of the game, Perrin made a substitution. He replaced the veteran midfielder, the captain of the national team, Zheng Zhi, who had almost exhausted his body, and replaced him with an attacking midfielder Sun Ke!

Obviously, this is a desperate fight!

Zheng Zhi took off the captain's armband, then looked around and found that there was no proper handover, so he planned to hand over the captain's armband to goalkeeper Wang Dalei.

But after taking two steps, he suddenly remembered something, and immediately turned around and walked towards the front.

Zheng Zhi stopped in front of Li Zihan, then put the captain's armband on Li Zihan, and finally patted Li Zihan on the shoulder and said, "Come on!" Hopefully I can continue to play in the quarter-finals! ”

Zheng Zhi naturally means that he hopes that the team can win this game and advance to the quarterfinals.

But Li Zihan said to the old captain very forcefully: "I hope our national flag can appear in the finals!" ”

Zheng Zhi was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Good boy! ”

In the end, he walked off the stage with a smile.
