Chapter 27 Moving the Great Wall

Just after He Ying and Wu Lei both missed Yan Min's cross, in the 38th minute, Spain launched an offensive.

Iniesta suddenly sent a straight kick in the midfield, and the football passed through the gap in the left rib of the Chinese team's defense, and Juanfran quickly stepped forward and rushed behind the Chinese team's left-back Rong Hao with speed!

"Andres Iniesta's beautiful through ball completely disrupted the Chinese team's defense!" the Spanish TV commentator shouted excitedly.

Juan Fran catches up with the ball behind Rong Hao and leads to the baseline. Rong Hao is desperately chasing back, wanting to make up for the mistakes he made.

Juanfran didn't wait for Rong Hao to catch up, and when he was about to bring to the bottom line, he swept the football to the goal!

At this time, the Chinese team's back line has not yet re-formed an effective defense because of the sudden change just now, the two central defenders have not yet returned to the defense in place, and there is only the right back Zhang Linpeng who has withdrawn from the goal, and he is still some distance away from the Spanish striker Villa who is inserted in front of the goal, and Villa can be said to be completely unmarked!

Villa ran a little past Juanfrán's pass, but that didn't stop him from shooting, and he made a surprising shot to the incoming ball – his right foot slammed inside as the ball slipped between his legs!

It was a very sudden and hidden shot that would be a great threat to any goalkeeper as long as it could hit the woodwork, and the goal rate was very, very high.

But this time, it was Sun Pan who stood in front of the goal of the Chinese team!

The moment he passed the ball, he lowered his center of gravity and spread his hands out.

Then, the moment he received the ball from Villa, he noticed his movements.

That's not the usual kick-and-shoot action.

Sun Pan's mind immediately came up with the shooting method that Villa might use - a heel shot!

This type of heel shot is usually aimed at the far corner of the goal.

So Sun Pan immediately fell to the ground and pounced to the far corner before Villa kicked the ball, and then the football was knocked over by Villa......

The football really rolled to the far corner, but because Sun Pan made the correct judgment in advance, he made a pounce, and his right hand just pushed the rolling football out!

The football that was allocated by Sun Pan happened to fall to Zhang Linpeng's side, he didn't think about anything at the time, turned around and kicked the football out!

"Sun Pan! Sun Pan !!" At this time, Liu Jianhong dared to cheer loudly for Sun Pan. "He made an incredible save just now! He blocked Villa's very hidden shot! Sun Pan made the first crucial save of the game!"

"Juanfran passed, Villa's former **** goalkeeper !!Sun Pan!oh no! Sun Pan!" This time, even the Spanish commentator had to be impressed by Sun Pan's performance...... Even though he was very, very disappointed. "When the Chinese team's back line has been penetrated, there is another person who is an insurmountable wall! This Chinese goalkeeper who has played for Atletico Madrid for two seasons, the players of the Spanish national team must be no stranger to him, he has made many wonderful saves like this at Atletico Madrid! At that time, he guarded the goal of Atletico Madrid, and now he ...... He blocked a brilliant back-heel shot from Atletico Madrid striker Villa!"

The TV close-up camera firmly followed Sun Pan, and after he got up from the ground, he saw the football being cleared out, and slapped the national flag on his chest hard.

Rong Hao, who was returning to the defense, rushed up and hugged Sun Pan hard, thanking him for the wonderful save just now.

If Sun Pan hadn't blocked the ball, then Rong Hao would have been the main person responsible for conceding the goal, because it was he who easily let Iniesta's pass penetrate, and it was he who didn't stop Juanfran's cross.

Sun Pan waved his hand at him: "It's a piece of cake." ”

While the Chinese team was cheering and celebrating Sun Pan's wonderful save, on the Spanish side, Villa held his head in his hands and couldn't believe his eyes. At that time, he saw Sun Pan blocking the angle at the front point, so he thought about hitting the back point. He was in a position where he could only choose to hit the back point with his heel, which was very difficult, but it was well concealed and very unexpected, and it was almost impossible for the goalkeeper to react to the shot at this distance......

But as a result, Sun Pan reacted and saved his shot!

The reaction was completely unexpected.

Although Villa is an Atletico Madrid player, he has not been teammates with Sun Pan, who only transferred to Atletico Madrid in the 2013-2014 season, and Sun Pan has returned to Chelsea by that time.

If he and Sun Pan both played for Atletico Madrid at the same time, maybe he wouldn't be so surprised......

※※※

Villa's failure to score the goal not only surprised Villa, but also had a negative impact on the morale of the Spanish players.

Before seeing Villa's shot, many Spanish players raised their hands and waited to cheer and celebrate.

Unexpectedly, this kick was saved by Sun Pan.

The Spanish internationals who play in La Liga immediately think of what they experienced when they faced Atletico Madrid in the league.

In front of him, Sun Pan, who is 1.9 meters tall, is really a moving Great Wall, which is difficult to cross and break.

On the bench in Spain, there were still players discussing Sun Pan's save just now, with a look of disbelief on their faces.

Bosque's brow furrowed, he was about to cheer just now, but fortunately he was more steady than his own players and didn't raise his hands......

Now he regrets that the goal was not scored, and he is even more upset. Villa scored a beautiful goal, but if he didn't score like this, would it be a certain blow to the confidence of his players?

※※※

Bosque's fears were justified, as the Spaniards were visibly distraught when the game resumed, and they were clearly affected by Villana's goal failure and errors began to mount.

Of course, Zhou Yi was keenly aware of this situation and knew what was going on. He realized that this was a good opportunity for the Chinese team, and if he could increase the pressure, he might be able to make the chaos in Spain last longer, so that the Chinese team could take advantage of it......

So he increased the passing forward and accelerated the speed of passing and receiving, thus driving the entire Chinese team to attack the Spanish goal in such a rhythm.

This change in the Chinese team really made the Spanish team very uncomfortable.

Seeing this, Bosque immediately made adjustments, asking the Spanish team to retreat to defend first to avoid conceding goals.

With only five or six minutes left before the end of the first half, Bosque feared his team conceding a goal in an unstable situation, which would make matters worse.

So of course he's going to have to get the players to recycle the defense.

Hold the first half first, and then adjust accordingly at halftime for the situation in the first half.

Whether the Spanish players want to or not, they can only follow the manager's instructions and reclaim the defense.

Spain recovered, and the Chinese team naturally attacked.

Zhou Yi divided the football to the left side, after Yan Min took the ball, he was about to make a bottom cross, but suddenly changed to cut inward, and hit the Spanish defender Juanfran who defended him by surprise, Yan Min, who cut inside along the line of the big penalty area, did not pass the ball again, but shot with his feet.

The inside of his right foot curled the ball into an arc, and it went straight to the back corner of the goal!

"Yan Min shoots ——!" Liu Jianhong shouted excitedly, expecting to see a world wave score.

Reyna jumped to his feet, and although he stretched his arms as long as he could, he still didn't touch the football.

The Chinese fans behind the Spanish goal couldn't wait to jump up from their seats, ready to cheer for the goal.

But in the next second, the ball flew out of the bottom line from the outside of the junction of the goal and the crossbar!

"Yan Min's ball...... Oops! A little bit off! Just a little bit off!" Liu Jianhong exclaimed regretfully.

"It's so dangerous! Yan Min missed, and the Spanish team escaped!" exclaimed the Spanish TV commentator. "Juanfran seems to be struggling to defend against Yan Min...... He can't deal with Yan Min, who is fast and agile......"

Seeing that his shot was missed, Yan Min held his head in his hands and knelt on the ground, feeling bad with his disappointment, his movements were not exaggerated at all.

"Yan Min missed the golden opportunity to take the lead...... Forty minutes have passed in the first half, and the score between the Chinese team and the Spanish team is still 0:0, and the deadlock has not been broken. On the other side, the match between the Netherlands and Chile was also a 0:0 draw. At the end of the game, the Netherlands will join hands with Chile to qualify, while China will be eliminated," Liu said...... "There are still fifty minutes left for the Chinese team......"

At this time, of course, he couldn't say the famous phrase "There is not much time left for the Chinese team", but he still had some faint worries in his heart.
