Chapter 497: One Foot of God

When the Chinese players were frantically celebrating their goals, the Chinese commentator He Ping was also frantically praising Zhou Yi: "Amazing skills! Without looking at the direction of the pass, the football was accurately sent to the empty space! I even think that in Zhou Yi's mind, there may be a real-time satellite image of the stadium, and he doesn't need to look up to see what is happening in every corner of the stadium......

He Ping's brain opened up for a while, but he accidentally guessed the truth. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Of course, he himself will not think that he has guessed correctly, he will only think that it is his own nonsense.

"This goal just now is really beautiful! Not only is He Ying beautiful and beautifully shot, but also because of Zhou Yi's beautiful passing! Zhou Yi's instep pass to the offensive direction is simply wonderful! It fully reflects his precise control of the situation and extremely excellent vision -- Zhou Yi may really have a pair of heavenly eyes on the back of his head! Haha!"

In the broadcast of the game, the Chinese team's goal was constantly replayed, and Zhou Yi's pass was replayed over and over again from different angles.

Everyone can clearly see Zhou Yi's situation when passing the ball. Everyone who has watched it will be as excited as He Ping, because this pass is as if God borrowed Zhou Yi's body and let him pass an impossible pass.

Not only He Ping, but also commentators from other countries also spoke very highly of Zhou Yi's foot.

"It's a god-like pass!" the German commentator was shocked as soon as he spoke, and his evaluation of Zhou Yi's pass was even higher than that of the Chinese commentator He Pingdu. "No one knows how Zhou Yi saw that vacancy, how he saw He Ying's running, because he didn't look up at all, and all his energy was focused on dealing with the Korean players who surrounded him around him......"

"Oh my God! Zhou Yi's kick reminded me of Maradona's pass against Brazil at the 1990 World Cup in Italy, the same surprise, the same one-hit kill. But I personally think that Zhou Yi's current kick is more difficult than Maradona's kick at the beginning, because he is holding the ball on the spot and sending it out with his back to the attacking direction!"

It stands to reason that after scoring a goal, it is generally the scorer who is the protagonist, but in this goal, He Ying has become a supporting role, and Zhou Yi is the protagonist praised by everyone.

However, even if He Ying heard the words of the commentators, it was estimated that he would not have any opinions. Because he himself thinks that Zhou Yi's contribution in this ball is greater than his own.

The Chinese team is celebrating the goal, and the South Korean team, their captain Ji Chengyong, is slapping his teammates hard after an initial depression.

"Don't give up! We're just one goal behind! We're going to equalize!"

At this time, the realistic goal is, of course, to equalize. However, even if the equalizer is equalized, it may not be a good thing for the South Korean team.

If the South Korean team had 11 players on the pitch and equalized in this situation, it would have a good chance to win. Even if it drags on to extra time, the South Korean team has the advantage of physical fitness and mental will. If they have not been able to beat the Chinese team in extra time, then in the penalty shootout, the South Korean team with better will and quality will also have an advantage.

But now that the South Korean team has one less person, their energy is definitely depleting faster than usual. Even if the game can be dragged to overtime, it may be a dead end for the South Korean team. At that time, there is a lack of spare strength, and the Chinese team seizes the opportunity to fight a counterattack and may collapse.

Of course, Ji Chengyong knew this, but he couldn't help it. I can only take one step at a time, and then talk about the equalizer first.

In front of the coach's bench on the sidelines, Hong Myung-bo, the head coach of the South Korean Olympic team, also looked solemn.

The South Korean team has one less person, and the score is still behind again, which can be described as extremely unfavorable.

But this made Hong Mingfu have no baggage - in this case, don't think about anything, just attack and strive for goals!

He quickly made the decision to replace defender Hwang Seok-ho with Kim Hyung-sung, the only striker in the South Korean Olympic team.

It's a fight to the death.

This substitution is very much in line with the personality and football style of the Koreans.

They think they attach great importance to the quality of will, and think that momentum is very important.

Hong Myung-boo hopes to use this substitution to boost the morale of the players and sound the clarion call for the South Korean team's Jedi counterattack.

After the double encouragement of captain Ji Chengyong and the head coach, the morale of the players of the South Korean team has indeed recovered somewhat.

When the game resumed, they launched a fierce attack on the Chinese team's goal, and a quick equaliser was their primary goal now, and they were desperate and willing to pay all the price for this purpose.

Seeing the South Korean team attacking the goal of the Chinese team, the South Korean audience in front of the TV was very excited, and they believed that under the impact of the Korean team's momentum, the Chinese team's goal would definitely be lost.

But not long after the game resumed, they realized that the situation was not what they had imagined.

In their imagination, the South Korean team's offense will be like a surging tide, wave after wave, continuously impacting the Chinese team's defense, without giving the Chinese team the slightest respite.

But in reality...... Although the South Korean team attacked fiercely, it could not last. Because when they finish an attack, the ball will change hands and fall to the Chinese team.

Once the Chinese team controls the football, the original storm-like rhythm will slow down, and this slow pace makes the South Korean team very uncomfortable.

It's like when a person is sprinting with all his might, but there is an obstacle ahead that must be stopped and avoided. And when he avoided the obstacle and accelerated back to the sprint, he saw that there was also an obstacle in front of him. It goes on and on, so he can't always speed up and run.

It's so unpleasant to feel like you're not able to do it.

Why this change in rhythm?

Because the Chinese team has Zhou Yi.

When the ball changed hands, the Chinese team was not in a hurry to attack, but passed the football back and forth with the South Korean team.

And the South Korean team surrounded the Chinese team in the midfield. At this time, Zhou Yi let the football stay under his feet for a longer time, using his ball control to slow down the tempo.

Even if he could keep the football at his feet for a second longer, it would delay the relaunch of the South Korean team by a second.

And Zhou Yi's ball control ability is still very good, after the football is at his feet, he can always control it for more than a second. After attracting all the Korean players to him, he passed the football out and fully mobilized the Korean players to make them tired.

In such a situation, the players of the South Korean team will inevitably be impatient, and when dealing with Zhou Yi, the movements of their hands and feet will become bigger and bigger.

Zhou Yi fell to the ground frequently under their defense, and the referee's whistle often sounded, and the South Korean team was fouled. As a result, the game was interrupted from time to time. The already impatient South Korean players are even more irritable.

They thought that Zhou Yi was deliberately faking a fall.

As long as Zhou Yi fell to the ground, the Korean players looked helpless, or protested to the referee that Zhou Yi faked the fall, and the Korean fans in the stands also let out huge boos to put pressure on the referee.

"Zhou Yi's socks were all broken by the spikes of the Korean players, can this be said to be a fake fall?" He Ping was upset for Zhou Yi.

A close-up shot just now shows Zhou Yi's socks, with a cut at the ankle, revealing the skin inside.

The South Korean players protested around the referee, and Zhou Yi sat on the ground and slowly sorted out his socks and shoes, and was not in a hurry. Yang Muge came up and asked him with concern: "How is it? It didn't hurt your ankle, did you?"

Zhou Yi shook his head: "It's okay." ”

Yang Muge stretched out his hand: "Do you want to get up?"

Zhou Yi shook his head with a smile and said, "Don't use it for the time being, wait until they finish talking to the referee before getting up." Anyway, it's not us who are in a hurry now. ”

Zhou Yi is not in a hurry, but Blazevic off the field is a little anxious.

After this foul by the South Korean team, he rushed out of the coach's box and complained and protested to the fourth official: "Shouldn't such a move be given a card! The referee should control the situation and not let the game turn into a barbaric brawl!"

The fourth officer motioned for him to calm down.

Blazevic continued to mumble and spin back.

He was worried about Zhou Yi being injured. The South Korean players are clearly in a hurry right now.

If Zhou is injured, the Chinese team's Olympic road may be over in the semifinals. Zhou Yi is not only the captain (note: it was written that Zhou Yi was not the captain before, but after thinking about it, I felt that it was unreasonable for Zhou Yi not to be the captain, so I revised the previous text and handed over the captain's armband to Zhou Yi), but also the absolute core of this team, as long as he is on the field, his teammates will be very relieved and confident. If he misses out due to injury, it will be a fatal blow to the Chinese team.

Blazevic wanted to replace Zhou Yi, but he was very hesitant -- now that the South Korean team is attacking so fiercely, the Chinese team relies on Zhou Yi to deal with them, and if Zhou Yi is replaced, what if the midfield gets out of control? Look at the game time, there are still 20 minutes before the end of the game, which is enough time for the desperate South Korean team to do something.

The protest of the Korean players is finally over, and they can't keep pestering the referee, which will make them eat cards in turn and lose more than they gain.

They just need to continue to express their attitude, as long as they keep repeating to the referee that "Zhou Yi is a liar who fakes falls", then maybe at a critical moment, they can reap miraculous results?

When they finally dispersed from the referee's side, Zhou Yi was pulled up from the ground by He Ying who came up.

When he pulled up Zhou Yi, He Ying said in his ear: "Zhou Yi, a one-goal lead is not an insurance score, what if they continue to attack you like this and cause you to be injured?"

"You're right. Zhou Yi nodded in acknowledging He Ying's concern. "This has to change. ”

"How to change?" Yang Muge asked.

"A one-goal lead is not safe, so let's lead by two goals. Zhou Yi said.
