Chapter 511: The First Half Ends

After Hulk came on the field, the Brazilian team's offensive did improve, just after this attack failed to break the goal, in the 41st minute, the Brazilian team launched another attack, Oscar on the left side of the pass, Damion received the ball on the left side of the penalty area, leaned on Guo Nu, and then passed the football out, and the left-back Marcelo who was inserted from behind met the ball and shot angrily. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Sun Pan made a save, but he couldn't touch the football because the football missed the post and flew straight out of the bottom line......

"Marcelo! but I think Brazil have finally found the right direction to attack, and they are getting more and more threatening!" said BBC commentator Mark Laurenson. "Menezes made a very important and crucial substitution, he brought on Hulk to give Brazil more confidence when they hit the 30-meter zone of the Chinese team!"

The Brazilian commentator was even more excited to say that the Brazilian team was getting closer to the goal.

The Brazilian fans in front of the TV were also very excited and optimistic.

Although they conceded a goal just at the beginning, the Brazilian team was finally woken up by this conceded goal, which can be regarded as a blessing in disguise, right?

Fans in China are starting to worry about their teams. After taking the lead early, the current situation is what everyone fears the most - how long can the Chinese team's one-goal lead be maintained under the full counterattack of the Brazilian team?

Taking a one-goal lead early is like being in the lead from the start of a marathon, and thinking about staying ahead for the rest of the race, which is a huge pressure that will stay with the leader and eventually lead him in the middle of the race. And once he is surpassed, he will no longer have the strength to overtake, and he can only watch the opponents who are behind him surpass him one after another and run forward.

So a smart and experienced long-distance runner will definitely not rush to the front at the beginning of a marathon, but will always be in the second group, closely following the leader in the crowd and constantly exerting invisible pressure on him.

The relationship between China and Brazil is now like that of a frontrunner and a runner.

The weakest thing in Chinese football is the psychological quality, and they will always drop the chain at the most critical moment.

Are they strong enough on their hearts now in the face of Brazil's onslaught?

※※※

Unlike the worried Chinese fans in front of the TV, the Chinese goalkeeper Sun Pan was very excited, he kept yelling in front of the goal, and you couldn't see the slightest sign of "under pressure" from him.

He was excited because Brazil's attack was finally able to threaten his goal, and he was finally able to play to his heart's content.

In the 44th minute, the Brazilian team attacked again, and it was Marcelo who shoveled the pass on the left side, Neymar burst into the ribs on the left side of the penalty area, got the ball, Guo Nu came up to force him, he crossed in time, the football hit Guo Nu's body There was a change of line, but the crooked hit fell to Hulk's area, he jumped high and headed the ball!

"Hulk!!!" exclaimed Mark Laurenson.

"Watch out for the header!" He Ping exclaimed anxiously.

Hulk almost headed the 3 ball towards the goal on the line of the small penalty area, so close distance, coupled with the fact that there was a line change when the football cross was made very unexpected.

But this ball still did not escape Sun Pan's ten fingers.

He jumped high and picked up the ball in the air with both hands, and held it firmly to his chest, not giving the opponent a chance to make a follow-up shot.

Sun Pan, who picked up the ball, grinned at Hulk after landing on the ground, which was not a friendly smile.

Then he threw the football out, Zhou Yi retreated and stopped the football with ****, just when he was about to turn around and pass the football out, Marcelo, who was returning to the defense, rushed up from the side and shoveled him, the ball was lost, and the whistle sounded.

"Oops!" He Ping took a breath and exclaimed, as if the kick had been shoveled into his leg, but he really hoped that he could take Zhou Yi's place, because he was worried that Marcelo's kick would hurt Zhou Yi's foot. According to the spirit of FIFA's penalty, the back tackle, whether you tackle the ball or not, you must give a card!"

Sure enough, the referee showed Marcelo a yellow card.

Zhou Yi pinched his calves and sat on the ground until his teammate Yang Muge came up and pulled him: "How is it, are you okay?"

Zhou Yi shook his head: "It's good that I hid quickly, otherwise it wouldn't be my calves, but my ankles." ”

"Be careful, South American players play dirty. He Ying next to him reminded Zhou Yi. "The possession you have against South Korea may not work well against Brazil. How dare they kick you in the ankles and knees. ”

"Don't worry, Lao He, I was almost taken in by La Masia, and I still have a little bit of acting talent!"

"Damn!" He Ying was speechless, it was all this time, and Zhou Yi was still joking about Black Barcelona.

Yang Muge smiled, Zhou Yi was able to joke, which meant that everything was normal for him.

※※※

After Zhou Yi got up from the ground, the regular time of the first half was over. At this time, the fourth official held up a sign on the sidelines for three minutes of first-half injury time.

As soon as the sign was revealed, a wave of boos could be heard from the stands – this boo, of course, from Chinese fans.

It's rare to see three minutes in the first half, unless there were really a lot of interruptions in the first half. However, this first half was quite smooth, and only the Chinese team's goal celebration was the longest interruption.

You must know that Marcelo's tackle of Zhou Yicai was only the first yellow card in the first half, which shows how smooth this first half was.

It was a surprise that there were as many as three minutes of stoppage time in such a fluid first half.

"This stoppage time...... Is there three minutes of stoppage time in the first half?" He Ping also tactfully asked.

※※※

The players on the pitch also took note of the first-half stoppage time.

"Damn!" Zhang Jiadong took a sip. "Is it worth three minutes of stoppage time in the first half?"

"I definitely want to buy Brazil a little more time. Wu Lei said.

Zhou Yi also noticed the three-minute stoppage time, he turned his head and said to everyone: "It's okay, let's try to control the football on our side, we can't hold it, just try to kick the football to their half, how far we can kick." ”

Originally, Zhou Yi planned to kick the football forward and let He Ying complete an attack single-handedly, whether it succeeds or not, it is good to harass the Brazilian backline.

But he has now changed his mind.

The chances of scoring on the counter-attack are really low, and the ball will soon fall to the feet of Brazil. Looking at stoppage time, three minutes was enough for Brazil to launch two attacks.

So for now, try to control the football on your side first and use up the three minutes of stoppage time.

So he let He Ying continue to stay in the front court, at the front, while everyone else returned to the midfield, and let Yang Muge stay by his side to facilitate him to pass the ball.

After He Ying ran to the frontcourt, he raised his hand to ask for the ball, and his movements attracted Thiago Silva's close marking.

The Brazilian players also thought that the Chinese team would definitely pass the football to He Ying, and then let He Ying attack their defense as a gun, and they paid a little attention to He Ying when defending.

But when Clattenburg blew the whistle for the game, Zhou Yi passed the football back to Yang Muge, the defender.

Yang Muge did not directly kick the ball to the frontcourt, but continued to pass the ball back, and at the same time, Zhou Yi also ran back to meet his teammates.

In this way, the Chinese team began to fall in the midfield.

Now it's Brazil's turn to press the Chinese team......

After passing a circle, the football was kicked to the front by Zhang Jiadong, and was intercepted by the Brazilian goalkeeper Gabriel who ran out of the penalty area, and then launched an attack.

But by this time, half of the three minutes of stoppage time had passed, and only one and a half minutes remained.

Neymar crossed diagonally from the left, Romero headed in from 10 yards in front of goal, the ball was dragged off the crossbar by Sun Pan's backward jump, and Brazil won a corner.

After the corner kick was kicked out, the football was pushed out by Guo Nu and fell outside the penalty area, and the Brazilian team grabbed possession, and the game continued, and the first half was still not over. The boos from the Chinese fans in the stands grew louder, but were quickly suppressed by the cheers of the Brazilian fans.

Neymar received the ball again, and this time he faced the Chinese team's defense and chose to force himself out.

After he burst into the penalty area, in the face of Guo Nu's frontal interception, and Cao Yun's assistance next to him, Neymar did not choose to continue to break through, but shot directly with his feet.

Sun Pan pounced sideways, but when he was about to pounce on the football, he raised his hand and put the football over, and the football flew straight out of the bottom line - he was sure that the ball must not have been shot within the goal frame, but he didn't want to give the Brazilian team another chance to take a corner kick, otherwise I don't know when the first half would be over.

He was right, and after the football flew off the line, referee Clattenburg finally blew the whistle for the end of the first half.

The Chinese team ended the first half with a 1:0 lead, this result was really a bit surprising, no one expected that after 45 minutes, the lead was actually the Chinese team!

※※※

Back in the dressing room, Blazevic praised the performance of his players and now seems unconcerned about the team being carried away by praising the team at half-time. After all, they are facing Brazil, and they don't have to worry about the Chinese team getting carried away at all.

Blazevic then asked his team to continue playing like this in the second half, consolidating the defense and waiting for an opportunity to counterattack. He emphasized "patience".

'You have to be patient and wait for your chances, as the game progresses, if the score can't be rewritten, the pressure will increase and the performance will naturally become more and more impatient. That will be our chance, and until then, you must be calm and patient!"

At the same time, in the locker room of the Brazilian team, head coach Menezes was also cheering up the players: "Believe you, the flag on the chest of your jersey is Brazil! The table tennis of the Chinese is invincible in the world, but in football, it is us who is invincible in the world! Don't be afraid of their lead, play your level to the fullest, you will definitely be able to rewrite the score!"

He didn't make any adjustments to his tactics other than a few words of encouragement. He believes that the only thing that can be changed is the mentality of the players, the tactics and strength are fine, but if there is a problem with the mentality, they can't play it.

And in order to adjust the mentality of the players, of course he has to encourage them. In his opinion, these talented players in Brazil have more or less psychological problems, when playing downwind, they are all "Pele II", but once they encounter difficulties and setbacks, they are easy to lose their mentality and lack resilience.

Before this match, Menezes thought that the Chinese team would play defensive counter-attack, because their main play in this Olympics is defensive counter-attack, so you can imagine what tactics they will adopt against the mighty Brazil.

But Menezes felt that even if the Chinese team counterattacked with defense, the Brazilian team could mainly control the situation firmly, and there was nothing to worry about. But he really didn't expect the Chinese team to score in the opening 25 seconds...... This conceded goal completely disrupted the rhythm of the Brazilian team, before he replaced Hulk, the Brazilian team's attack was simply a headless fly, clueless, where to play, he really couldn't stand it, replaced Hulk, the Brazilian team's attack found its direction at once, and then threatened the Chinese team's goal many times.

Now that Brazil are finally back on track, all they need is encouragement and convince them that they can do everything in the second half.

※※※

At the beginning of the second half, Zhou Yi also encouraged his teammates in the locker room: "Come on, there are still forty-five minutes, the Brazilian team will definitely fight back desperately in the second half, as long as we can withstand their attacks, we will get a lot of counterattack opportunities." Remember, Brazil is the ......"

"Paper cat!"

His teammates replied in unison, followed by laughter.

With laughter, they opened the door to the dressing room and walked to the stage of the Dream Theater.
