Chapter 48: Cunning
Before extra-time, both sides had a five-minute break, and they didn't have time to go into the dressing room, so they both made their final break on the sidelines.
The team medical teams on both sides are taking the time to massage the leg muscles of the tired players to help them recover.
The head coach is holding the tactical board and explaining the tactical arrangements for extra time to his players.
Everyone was listening very attentively.
The TV broadcast took the time to broadcast He Ying's last shot just now, and He Ping still regretted it: "If this goal had been scored, there would have been no such thing as now...... It's a pity, but that's football, that's football. You never know what's going to happen in the next second...... I hope that the mentality of the boys of the Chinese team will not be affected, and I hope that He Ying will not be affected, and if there is a chance in front of the goal next time, he will still shoot decisively!"
Lippi gushed in front of the players with a tactical board, and his interpreter looked at him intently, and then took advantage of his breath to translate the large passage he had just said in one breath.
“...... Remember, defend solidly, and then translate. Be resolute and decisive when fighting back, and don't have superfluous thoughts. The most important thing is to be patient, calm and not panic. We practiced penalty kicks before the game, but we couldn't do it, so we played penalties, and the chances of both sides were equal, and Brazil was not necessarily better than us......"
The rapid tone of the translator, in today's environment, highlights a sense of tension and urgency, which makes many players of the Chinese team listen to it with a tight throat.
However, when he was about to play, Zhou Yi slapped his teammates and said: "The Brazilian team definitely didn't expect them to be dragged into overtime, so this is a big blow to their psychology, as long as we calm down, the advantage is actually on our side." Or play at the same pace as before, don't think too much. ”
Although he is young, he has already experienced a hundred battles, and everyone will feel at ease when they hear his words, because what scene has Zhou Yi never seen? The experience of two Champions League finals is unique among Chinese players.
He's right, he says no problem, that's no problem.
※※※
After a short adjustment and rest, players from both sides returned to the pitch.
Lippi took the lead in making substitutions, and he replaced Yang Hao, who was physically exhausted, with Zheng Zhi.
Yang Hao has played four consecutive World Cup starters, and although he started every game, he also had a lot of physical exertion. There were thirty more minutes to play, and he couldn't keep up with the rhythm. If there is a vulnerability because of physical reasons, no one wants to see it.
Zheng Zhi is old, but he has a lot of experience, and thanks to his excellent professionalism and living habits, his physical fitness and condition are good. Otherwise, people can't be the captain and main force in Guangzhou Hengyuan, the overlord of the Chinese Super League.
Zheng Zhi is a well-rounded midfielder who can play both attacking and defensive roles, and can step back to the back line as a central defender if necessary. Let him play, it is equivalent to several more people.
In addition, after Zheng Zhi played, he could also help Zhou Yi sort out the midfield and reduce the burden on Zhou Yi.
Unlike the Chinese team, who made substitutions at the beginning of extra time, the Brazilian team still had the last substitution left, and Scolari chose not to move.
After the start of the game, the Brazilian team, which was playing at home, continued to attack the Chinese team's goal.
Now that the game is in extra time, they will certainly want to score as soon as possible, establish an advantage, and then end the battle in extra time.
In the 91st minute, Hulk broke through on the left side and was brought down by Zhang Linpeng, and referee Weber awarded Brazil a free kick near the bottom line, which was basically equal to a short corner.
Neymar came to take the free-kick and there were people in front of goal, and he played the ball in front of goal, hoping to create chaos and then win in chaos.
But the ball was jumped up by Guo Nu and grabbed it before everyone and pushed out of the bottom line.
Brazil then won a corner.
This time, Brazil did not kick the ball directly in front of goal, and they reorganized the attack with tactical corners. Then he passed the football to the goal, but this time when Ruofei grabbed the point, he raised his left foot and kicked directly to Sun Pan, Webber sentenced Ruochong to a foul on the goalkeeper and gave Ruo a yellow card.
But for Brazil, the trouble may not stop there.
Sun Pan, who was kicked by Ruo, lay on the ground and didn't get up.
According to the rules, if a player is injured during a game, the injured player must be off the field for medical treatment and can only return to the field after the treatment is completed, and in between, the team will have one less player to play.
There's only one position that's not like that, and that's the goalkeeper.
The goalkeeper was injured and did not need to be treated on the pitch and the game could not be recovered. When the goalkeeper's treatment is over and it is confirmed that he is okay, the game will resume. Until then, no matter how anxious you are, you can only wait.
Waiting......
Wait......
Make move......
If he kicked Sun Pan's arm, Sun Pan fell to the ground holding his arm at that time, and the Chinese team's team medical team also quickly came on the field after getting the permission of the referee and carried out examination and treatment for Sun Pan.
In fact, there is no big problem, but everyone knows in their hearts that this is a good opportunity for the Chinese team to delay time.
So the team doctor team slowly carried out a detailed examination and treatment, and Sun Pan also lay on the ground, covering his arms and making a painful expression. The other Chinese players gathered around him, hydrating and hydrating, watching the excitement and resting.
How could the Brazilian players not know the plans of the Chinese team? Everyone is experienced in a hundred battles, and no one is a rookie. If he came up and told the referee, Sun Pan must be delaying time: "I kicked him, but it's definitely not that heavy, he can't need such a long period of treatment!"
As the captain of the team, Zhou Yi certainly had to stand up for his teammates at this time, he leaned up and said to Ruo: "You are not a doctor, how do you know that it is not heavy?"
If you argue, "I don't have much power......
"Oh, not a lot of power? If you kick it right in a key position, it doesn't take much strength, and it can do a lot of damage. "Zhou Yi (Hu) Li (Jiao) Li (Man) fight (Chan).
"You're using strong words!" Ruo was angry.
Zhou Yi took a step forward, almost sticking to Ruo, and then looked up at him and said, "It's you who fouled, I don't think you have the position and qualification to say such things." Remember, you already have a yellow card on you. ”
Although he gritted his teeth, but when he heard Zhou Yi's words, even if he was unhappy, he couldn't really do anything with Zhou Yi.
And at this time, the Brazilian players also came up and pulled Joo away. They were worried that if it was impulsive, they reached out and pushed Zhou Yi, and Zhou Yi also covered his face and lay on the ground, then it is estimated that he would really lie down and the first half of overtime was over......
Thiago Silva, the captain of the Brazilian side, put his arm around Zhou Yi's shoulder, covered his mouth with his hand and said to Zhou Yi: "Everyone knows what's going on, it's almost enough......"
Zhou Yi looked innocent: "I can't be the master of this, I have to see the team doctor, and the team doctor also depends on Sun Pan's situation......"
Thiago Silva didn't have a trick in the face of such a brazen person.
Who let their side be impulsive and kick someone they shouldn't have kicked?
In the end, Sun Pan lay on the ground for three minutes under the overwhelming boos of the Brazilian fans before being pulled up by the team doctor.
What is the concept of three minutes?
Fifteen minutes into the first half of extra time, he was on the ground and lost a fifth of the time.
When Sun Pan got up and moved his legs, the boos in the stands became louder.
But Sun Pan didn't care, and waved to the Brazilian fans in the stands who booed him and gave him the middle finger......
Seeing this scene, even Zhou Yi had to admire Sun Pan if he was shameless, he would be even more shameless than himself.
Sun Pan got up, it didn't seem to be a big deal, he focused on moving the arm that was kicked by Ruo, ......" He Ping kept his mouth shut, this was delaying time.
But the Brazilian commentator was unceremonious: "This is a very unsportsmanlike and despicable behavior!" Before the game, Zhou Yi kept saying that the referee took care of the Brazilian team, but look at what the Chinese team did, everything is trampling on the sportsmanship of fairness and justice!"
But in fact, Sun Pan did this not only to stall for time, but more importantly, to give the Chinese players a few more minutes to rest.
Unlike the Brazilian team, the bench thickness of the Chinese team is obviously not enough, and the four games are basically all played by this lineup, and the physical consumption is large, and it is impossible to fully recover in a short time. The game lasted 90 minutes and had to go overtime, which was also a huge test of the team's physical fitness.
That's why the Chinese team needs such a break to make it easier for them to better cope with the next overtime.
After all this tossing, the game can finally resume.
After Sun Pan's behavior of delaying time, the Brazilian fans were holding back their fire, waiting for the game to start, completely blow up the Chinese team, and beat the goal guarded by Sun Pan into a sieve.
