Chapter 43: Coming to Life
"Zhou Yi's shot is very decisive......! The two Borussia Dortmund players showed their excellent chemistry for the national team, and Yan Min didn't look into the box at all before his cross, and he seemed to believe that Zhou Yi would step forward. And Zhou Yi began to run forward when Yan Min broke the ball, and seemed to believe that Yan Min would definitely pass the ball to that gap......"
Marcel Leif spoke highly of the performances of the two men.
"It's a tacit understanding that I cultivated after a year at Borussia Dortmund, and now the Chinese team has also benefited......" As a German commentator, he is happy to see
When Zhou Yi scored, the Brazilian commentator wailed: "God...... Oscar's mistake was so fatal! Yan Min immediately crossed the ball, which caught our defenders off guard, whether it was Thiago Silva or David Ruiz, they were slow to react......"
He had sworn that Brazil's second goal would come soon, and now his face hurt a little......
After scoring the goal, Zhou Yi ran to Yan Min, who passed the ball to him, and then hugged him, right under the noses of the Brazilian fans, and gave a thumbs up to the Brazilian fans who were still laughing at him just now.
What this celebratory action means, as long as anyone who has no problem with IQ, I am afraid it is clear. Zhou Yi is fighting back against the Brazilian fans who mocked him on behalf of Yan Min.
The rest of the Chinese teammates also ran up, hugged Yan Min, and gave a thumbs up to the Brazilian fans in the stands.
This is really a collective slap in the face......
Of course, this approach has also attracted dissatisfaction and boos from Brazilian fans.
But now the Chinese team is not the same timid group as before, and they don't care about the boos of the Brazilian fans at all.
The game is all played here, only one team can stay, either you die, or I live, what kind of politeness and demeanor do you talk about......
Anyway, if they eliminate the Brazilian team, they will definitely offend the Brazilian fans, no matter how gentle and polite you are now, people will boo you and hate you.
Not only football, but the whole sport is a war in peacetime. Since it's a war, what's the politeness?
He Ping praised the Chinese team's celebration very much: "Haha! This celebration can be seen to be aimed at the previous boos and laughter of the Brazilian fans. The fact that the boys of the national team uphold the dignity of their teammates in this way is really heartwarming to see and proves how united this team is...... And a united team is not so easy to beat!"

Although Yan Min played a vital role in this ball, the TV broadcast footage still took more care of Zhou Yi.
Commentators from various countries are also more familiar with Zhou Yi, and Zhou Yi is also more talkative.
“...... Zhou Yi scored his first goal in the World Cup, and he was very decisive in both cutting forward and shooting, and did not give the Brazilian backline time to react at all. In this goal, he showed his qualities as the best player in Europe last season!"
Zhou Yi is keenly aware of the vacancy, and capturing the vacancy is what he is best at. Not to mention the problem of the two central defenders of the Brazilian team, Fernandinho also has a big problem, he did not always follow Zhou Yi. Zhou Yike is much more astute than him, a second of negligence caused the goal to be conceded, the Brazilian team should remember this lesson, some people can't let him out of your sight!"
"Do Brazil think that Zhou Yi can only pass the ball and assist? Forget that he scored 16 goals in the league last season, which is already terrifying as a playmaker! Don't underestimate Zhou Yi's scoring ability!"
In the TV footage, Zhou Yi is running back to his half court with his teammates talking and laughing, and from his face, no matter when, you can feel a power that makes you feel at ease.

When the Chinese team returned to their positions, the Brazilian team was also ready.
A whistle blows and the game resumes.
Brazil were clearly affected by the goal conceded, and after the restart, their performance was divisive – they desperately tried to attack, to regain the lead, but this impatience instead led to a series of mistakes, giving China more opportunities to counter-attack.
In this game, Lippi's tactical request to the Chinese team was to counterattack, because the Brazilian team would definitely use the home advantage to attack the Chinese team, and in this case, playing defensive counterattack is the most correct choice.
After the opening, the Chinese team has always defended first and then counterattacked, but unexpectedly, in the nineteenth minute, Yan Min broke the balance on the court with an own goal.
Fortunately, now we have equalized again, so we can continue to fight back.
With Yan Min and He Ying, two fast forwards, plus Gao Lin can also take the ball at his feet and play the ball for his teammates, the staffing of the Chinese team is very suitable for defensive counterattacks.
In the 34th minute, when Neymar was inserting forward with the ball, he was blocked by Yang Muge and Yang Hao, Yang Hao kept confronting Neymar next to him, interfering with him and attracting his attention, while Yang Muge stoodly and quickly stretched out his foot from the other side and poked the football out.
The football that was poked out was taken down by Zhou Yi, who was nearby, and then Zhou Yi turned around and transported the football forward and gave it to He Ying, who was retreating.
With his back to the direction of the attack, He Ying used a difficult move to pass the football to Gao Lin behind him.
Gao Lin protected the football, adjusted it and sent the football to the left side, Yan Min inserted it on the left side and received the ball.
Then he was entangled in Alves.
The two of them were entangled near the bottom line, and in the end, when Yan Min tried to pass Alves through the crotch, Alves blocked the bottom line with his foot.
"Corner, the Chinese team won a corner. Although there was no shot on goal, the Chinese team's counterattack was still very beautiful......" He Ping said. "It's completely different from being pressed and playing now, and we can now organise attacks that threaten the Brazilian goal......"
※※※
After Yan Min assisted Zhou Yi to score a goal, he became very excited, and he got rid of the anxious mood before, and played more and more freely.
Even in front of Brazilian players, who are known for their good technique, he can play a little fancy.
When he got the ball on the side again, Yan Min faced Alves' defense, first accelerated to the near the bottom line, and then suddenly made a sharp stop, making a gesture to cut inside, and his right foot turned the ball to the middle.
Alves then made a sharp stop and then turned to the middle.
Unexpectedly, at this time, Yan Min's right foot suddenly buckled inward, and the football that had been dialed was buckled to the direction of the bottom line!
Then he started to accelerate on the spot, shaking off Alves, who was too late to turn around!
"Oxtail!!" He Ping exclaimed.
"Oxtail !!" the Brazilian commentator shouted louder than Zhou Yi.
The "bull tail" action is not exclusive to Brazilian players, all players around the world can use it, but it is said to have been invented by Brazilian superstar Riverino, for Brazilian fans, this action has a very special significance, that is, no matter how many players in the world use it, only Brazilian players use the best, purest and most beautiful.
For example, Ronaldinho surprised the world with this action, and also made the world know again about the fake action of the oxtail, which is almost not in line with the laws of physics.
And now, Yan Min, a Chinese boy, actually used this action with special meaning to shake off the players wearing the jerseys of the Brazilian national team in front of tens of thousands of Brazilian fans in the stadium!
The entire stands exclaimed.
With an exclamation, Yan Min caught up with the football, and then swept the football towards the goal.
He Ying, who was in the middle, wanted to shoot straight at goal, but he played the ball high with Thiago Silva's close interference......
"He Ying......! It's a pity! But this attack the Chinese team played very beautifully! Yan Min's breakthrough on the side was simply exciting!" He Ping said excitedly.
Soon, the TV broadcast replayed the slow motion of Yan Min's breakthrough through Alves just now, and the high-definition camera can play the player's movements slower than usual, so that everyone can better appreciate Yan Min's fake action just now.
The right ankle changed direction nimbly and quickly, completely fooling Alves.
The world's best right-back, known as McCann, was played by Yan Min......
There was also an exclamation on the Internet.
"Damn! Yan Min's feint is handsome!"
"Playing oxtail in front of the Brazilian players! It's only a stunned young man like Yan Min who does it, right? Haha, it's so relieving! It's so cool!"
"Let you laugh at Yan Min, now stupid, right? Don't you know that this kid is getting stronger and stronger?"
"Handsome, Yan Min taught Alves to be a man with an ox's tail......"
"It sounds magical that the Chinese players have beaten the Brazilian players in front of them with the best passing moves of the Brazilian players......"
"This action reminds me of the 2002 World Cup, when Brazil was playing Turkey, the Turkish player Ilhan used a rainbow pass to pass Robert Carlos, and then Carlos was angry and squeezed Ilhan with a foul, so that Ilhan did not completely pass him...... And this time, Yan Min didn't even give Alves a chance to foul!"
......
In the Mineiro stadium, the Brazilian fans who had unscrupulously mocked Yan Min were unable to make any sound at this time.
