Chapter Thirty-Seven: See the Poor Dagger

Although Zhou Yi didn't score this goal, it scared the Brazilian fans a lot, and their boos in the stands were abruptly stopped by this kick. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

However, the Brazilian players don't have the time to worry, and now the more important thing is to score goals!

In their opinion, the fact that the beam blocked Zhou Yi's kick was a good sign, indicating that God would finally choose Brazil today!

So after the game resumed, the Brazilian team continued to launch a fierce attack on the Chinese team's goal.

Oscar's cross from the right was met by Darmion who jumped high in the box to head the ball into goal, but he headed it high under Guo Nu's close interference.

The ball was back at the feet of the Chinese team.

Sun Pan kicked the goal kick and did not kick the football directly to the front, but passed the football to Guo Nu.

Guo Nu passed the football to Yang Muge again, and when the Brazilian players came up to force it, Yang Muge passed the football to Zhou Yi.

In this way, the Chinese team passed the football forward layer by layer.

As soon as Zhou Yi received the ball, Brazilian midfielder Oscar rushed up and tried to force him.

Zhou Yi passed the football back to Yang Muge, and he cut the position empty.

Yang Muge passed the football to Zhang Jiadong and developed it in another direction.

It seems that this attack of the Chinese team is going to have nothing to do with Zhou Yi.

But after the Chinese team's attack crossed the halfway line, Zhang Jiadong passed the football to Zhou Yi.

In the face of Romero's interception, Zhou Yi used a feint to shake off the opponent and dribble forward.

Romero was not so easily thrown away, he turned around and reached out to grab Zhou Yi's clothes.

Despite being interfered with, Zhou Yi sent a through ball that passed through Brazil's backline and fell behind them, where Wu Lei received the ball.

"Single knife!" He Ping shouted excitedly.

The Brazilian fans in the stands booed.

In the midst of their boos, Wu Lei kicked his foot and shot, and the football drew an arc, bypassing the goalkeeper of the Brazilian team, Gabriel, and flying into the goal!

The goal was so easy to surprise the Chinese fans in front of the TV, as Gabriel barely made any save.

Soon the answer was revealed -- why did the Chinese team score so easily? Because Wu Lei was offside......

The linesman has already raised the flag in his hand and signaled that Wu Lei is offside.

Judging from the slow-motion replay, the ball was indeed offside.

But this offside position is actually a bit wronged, why is it offside? Because when Zhou Yi passed, Romero pulled Zhou Yi, which made Zhou Yi move a little slower, he struggled a little, and finally passed the football out, it was such a struggle, Wu Lei ran behind the Brazilian team's back line, and he was offside.

If Romero didn't pull it, Zhou Yi and Wu Lei's passing and running cooperation would be perfect, and the result may still be the same, Wu Lei received the ball behind the Brazilian team's back line, the Brazilian defenders thought the goal was offside, but in fact it didn't, Wu Lei shot, bypassed goalkeeper Gagabriel, flew into the goal, the Chinese team scored, and this goal was valid.

But now it all has become some kind of hypothesis that will never be realized.

The reality is that the Chinese team is indeed offside, there is no dispute.

"Ah, at the moment when Zhou Yi passed the ball, Wu Lei was indeed offside...... But this offside was caused by Brazilian player Romero pulling Zhou Yi, but referee Clattenburg did not say anything about Romero's foul, and the Chinese team suffered a dumb loss......

In this Olympic Games, there were many unfavorable penalties against China, involving diving, gymnastics, cycling, badminton and other events, which made many Chinese complain about this, and in football, the Chinese team was awarded two penalties in five minutes in the quarterfinals, which also caused a storm.

So you can't blame He Ping for some conspiracy theories, but reality forces people to look at anything with colored glasses, and if there is a little wind and grass, they will unconsciously think about the shady side. This cannot be blamed on He Ping, nor on the Chinese who are indignant on the Internet, but should be asked the reason for all this. Just simply accusing the Chinese of glass hearts is a kind of ass-to-heart argument that sits on the side of China from the beginning, which is immoral and undignified.

※※※

Wu Lei was still a little dissatisfied with the fact that the ball was not counted, but Zhou Yi didn't say anything, turned around and ran back, his hawk eye skills could be seen clearly, at the moment when he passed the ball, Wu Lei just ran out of half of his body, and it was this half of his body that made him offside.

Although he knew that Wu Lei was definitely offside, he still passed the football out.

The ball won't be valid, but it's not really invalid. Including the previous shot that hit the crossbar, these things happened in a row and will definitely have an impact on the psychology of the Brazilian players.

It's like a time bomb planted in their hearts, and it's like a thorn in their hearts. When they're attacking, they can't do anything but keep them together and they always remember that their goal has been threatened twice.

This time the Chinese team's goal was offside first, and the goal was invalid, but who can guarantee that the next time the Chinese team launches such an attack, it will be offside?

Both of these attacks proved that the Chinese team still has the spare strength to counterattack when they are besieged by Brazil, and they are more threatening than the Brazilian team's indiscriminate bombardment. This psychological deterrence is the most important thing.

※※※

When the game entered 70 minutes, the score was still 1:0, the Chinese team was ahead, and the number of shots on goal for the Brazilian team had risen to 18, but there was still no way to break the goal.

Menezes made another substitution, replacing midfielder Sandro with Pato to continue to strengthen the attack.

The substitution would further weaken Brazil's midfield defence, but who cares about it now, and what's the point of not conceding a goal if you can't score?

Pato was quite impressive when he first debuted at AC Milan and won the European Golden Boy Award, but his performance at AC Milan this season was not satisfactory, which made him unable to play in the Brazilian Olympic team.

But although the state is not good, the strength is still there, and at the critical moment, everyone will always have high hopes for him, hoping that he will suddenly awaken at this time, burst out in the best state, and complete the redemption.

In the same way that Hulk came off the bench to make Brazil's attack a threat, will Pato's arrival complete the transformation of Brazil's attack from quantity to quality?

※※※

Just when everyone had high hopes for Pato to play, the Chinese team got the opportunity to attack in the 74th minute.

After Zhou Yi got the ball in the front court, he accelerated to the ribs of the penalty area, but Romero followed him all the time and did not give him a chance to get close to the penalty area.

Zhou Yi has no advantage in speed, and his strength is also very average, and it is almost impossible to succeed if he forcibly breaks through. So he had just run two steps and stopped. Romero took the opportunity to cross in front of him.

In the face of Romero's defense, Zhou Yi made a feint to step on a bicycle, Romero was unmoved, and Zhou Yi's bicycle was stepped on in vain. So Zhou Yi developed horizontally and sought a breakthrough.

In this game, he was very rare in not being the first to pass the ball when he was blocked, but continued to possess the ball.

His move also attracted the attention of more Brazilian players.

In addition to Romero, who has been standing in front of him, Oscar also ran from the front court and wanted to contain Zhou Yi. In addition, Juan Jr., who was on the back line, also put his position in front of the front, stuck on the route of Zhou Yi Neiche. If Zhou Yi wants to continue to cut horizontally, he and Romero will form a wall in front of Zhou Yi.

The three of them formed a faint encirclement of Zhou Yi.

But Zhou Yi still didn't pass the football out, he was still taking it, although the speed was not fast.

He took the ball to the middle.

Juan Jr. stepped forward and stuck in place. The wall formed by him and Romero finally completely blocked Zhou Yi's way forward, and at this time, Zhou Yi only had to stop and change directions.

So after Zhou Yi braked, he flicked the football behind him with the outside of his right foot, and at the same time turned around and used his body to block the football and stop Romero and Juan from breaking the ball.

But as soon as he turned around, Oscar rushed up, and it was clear that this was not a safe place either.

Facing Oscar's outstretched leg, Zhou Yi's right foot flicked the ball on the outside of his instep, and his body turned again, almost turning to 360 degrees.

But such a turn is meaningless, because if he turns again, he will turn back and face Romero and Juan Jr. again......

But Zhou Yi was still turning, and the outside of his right foot was moving towards the football again, did he really want to complete the 360-degree turn?

Isn't it time to get the football out?

Everyone who sees Zhou Yi controlling the ball has such a question in their hearts.

But just when everyone thought that Zhou Yi would continue to turn around with the ball and face Romero and Juan Jr. again, even Romero and Juan Jr. thought so.

Zhou Yi's right foot kicked towards the football, but unlike the previous two ankle movements that carefully controlled the strength, this time, his right ankle was thrown very quickly, like the end of a whip that was swinging, and with a snap, he hit the football.

The ball raced out in the direction of the ribs of the Brazilian backline, between Thiago Silva and Rafael!

No one thought that Zhou Yi would pass the ball like this, and the previous two consecutive actions of turning around and dodging made everyone fall into a mindset, that is, Zhou Yi would continue to do this, in fact, Zhou Yi did like to do this at the beginning, but the final result was very different!

He's passing, not dialing!

The pass was very small and discreet, but the power was unexpected, and the ball flew out so fast that it didn't give the Brazilian defenders any time to react.

He disguised his passing intentions with a turning feint, and didn't try to see the dagger until the last minute!

Even Thiago Silva couldn't react, he only realized when he saw the ball flying towards the empty space next to him, and then reflexively threw himself into the tackle to block Zhou Yi's pass.

But he didn't reach it, maybe not even a quarter of a second, and before his feet could reach it, the football was already gone.

As for Raphael, he didn't even make a defensive move, just turned around and watched the football roll behind him, and what shadow appeared behind him at the same time as the football......

※※※

"He Ying!! ahhhhhhh

After Zhou Yi finished passing the ball, he looked up at the penalty area and saw He Ying receive his pass, he laughed.

The next thing is left to his roommate, he is very calm in his heart, and there is no uneasy worry, he believes that He Ying will not live up to his wonderful biography.

※※※

After He Ying received the ball, the whole person entered a very focused state, he didn't care about the situation around him now, he didn't even look up to observe the linesman to confirm whether he was offside, his vision now suddenly became very narrow, only the goal in front of him, on the waist of the Brazilian goalkeeper Gabriel, he saw a glowing area, it was the goal!

His body began to lean to the left, and with a small angle, he picked up his right foot.

In such a situation, the vast majority of players will choose to shoot the ball into the far corner, and the most famous of these is Thierry Henry, who will always rub the ball with his right foot towards the far right post when he is close to the left post, facing the goal from a tight angle, and then let the ball fly into the goal.

Gabriel took it for granted that He Ying would do the same, and his body shifted his weight to the far end in advance.

But at this moment, He Ying's right foot fell, and the straight instep didn't look like it was about to be rubbed and cummed...... He hit the soccer ball with the instep of his foot!

The soccer ball was shot into the near corner!

Just like that, it flew past Gabriel's waist!

Slipped through the hole between his elbow and thigh, plunged headlong into the white, glowing area, and ...... Lost in the net!

The ball is in! )
