Chapter 42 Make up for the mistakes
When Thiago Silva jumped up for a header, there were people in front of him, blocking his header and sending the ball to the back post.
This caught the Chinese team's defense off guard, and also caught Yan Min off guard.
Originally, with his height and header ability, he didn't need to come back to the goal to defend, and no one expected him to play much of a role in the defence, he came back purely out of a sense of responsibility.
As a result, he came back and made a mistake.
Blocked Silva's soccer ball into his own goal!
When the ball flew into the goal, the Brazilian commentator shouted excitedly: "The ball is in!!David Ruiz!!David Ruiz!!He opened the scoring for Brazil!, his first goal in 40 games for the Brazilian national team!"
It was happening so fast that the commentator in the stands, who was far away, didn't see it clearly, and he thought it was David Ruiz who scored it.
He Ping also thinks so: "This ball is dangerous...... David Ruiz!oops!goal......"
After the goal, David Ruiz's wild celebration made everyone think it was his goal.
But on the Chinese side, Yan Min sat on his knees and held his head in his hands - he knew that he couldn't fool himself, he blocked the ball, it was an own goal......
The entire Mineiro stadium was filled with the cheers of Brazilian fans, like a tsunami.
And this cheer from the Brazilian fans, to Yan Min's ears, was like a mockery of him, which made him even more uncomfortable.
All the Brazilian players ran to David Ruiz to celebrate the goal, while the Chinese players stayed in front of the goal, but they didn't expect to lose the goal in the first 20 minutes.
The goal was so unexpected that there was no warning before, and it was difficult for them to accept it for a while.
At this time, Zhou Yi walked to Yan Min's side and rubbed his hair with his hand: "Get up, don't kneel." It's not your fault, even if you don't block it, David Ruiz can get the ball in. ”
Hearing Zhou Yi say this, Yan Min raised his head and looked at Zhou Yi, he knew that Zhou Yi knew that this was an own goal.
"There are always accidents in the game, so you don't have to worry about it. ”
Then Zhou Yi turned around and shouted to his teammates: "The game has only started for twenty minutes, we still have time and chance, don't give up! Keep calm and composed! Their goal is an accident, it does not mean that we are inferior to their strength!"
Sun Pan also came up and patted Yan Min on the shoulder, although he didn't speak, this action was enough to explain his attitude.
At the same time, the TV broadcast also released the slow motion of the Brazilian team's goal just now, and in the picture, everyone can clearly see that the ball was blocked by Yan Min with his legs......
"Alas...... It's an own goal......" He Ping sighed weakly. Yan Min subconsciously raised his foot to block the football, but he didn't expect to block the football into his own goal under the interference of David Luiz...... Yan Min was kind, but he didn't help...... But it can't be helped, if he doesn't have a kick, or if he doesn't have a leg at all, the goal will still go in, but it will be David Ruiz who scores......"
The Brazilian commentator also saw it clearly: "Own goal! The Chinese team scored an own goal! Their luck is really bad...... However, it seems inevitable that Ruiz is behind him when Yan Min raises his legs to defend, so no matter what he does, he can't escape the end of the goal. Brazil's consistent attacking efforts after the opening kick-off finally paid off, which is a good sign. Brazil should build on their lead and continue to attack, try to extend their lead in a short period of time, and completely crush their opponents!"
The Brazilian fans sang and danced in the stands to celebrate the goal, while the Chinese fans, who were overwhelmingly outnumbered, could only remain silent, and they were also hit hard by the conceded goal. Because Brazilian football has always given people a strong impression, many Chinese fans are a little afraid and worried when their team plays against Brazil, and they will always worry about conceding the goal first.
They hoped that after the game started, the Chinese team would score first. Only then will they feel safe.
There are also many insecure Chinese fans on the Internet who are very depressed and unhappy with Yan Min's own goal.
"Yan Min, Yan Min, sometimes he is quite energetic, and sometimes he is like a stunned young man. What should I say about him? When will he learn to be more calm and steady?"
"I see that when he played in Dortmund, he was always so reckless, he was hopeless......"
※※※
The Brazilian players finally ended their celebrations and returned to their own half. At this time, the players of the Chinese team have already stood in their respective positions.
He Ying and Gao Lin stood in the center circle, stepping on the football under their feet, waiting for the kickoff.
Zhou Yi was behind them, raised his arm, and raised a finger: "It's just a ball behind, let's pull it back!"
He said it in Chinese, and Brazilians couldn't understand it, otherwise, they would definitely laugh at Zhou Yi's nonsense.
Get a goal back?
It's easy to say!
We were led by Brazil, was it so easy to pull it back?
※※※
After the resumption of the game, the Brazilian team continued to attack.
In the 25th minute, Neymar took the ball forward and shook off the defense of Yang Muge and Feng Xiaoting along the way, but when he entered the penalty area, he was entangled by Guo Nu. The continuous breakthrough made Neymar already at the end of the crossbow, and then under Guo Nu's close interference, his push had no power, and he also lost his accuracy, and finally slowly deflected out of the right post, not threatening the goal guarded by Sun Pan.
Although there was no threat, the Brazilian fans in the stands still applauded and cheered for Neymar's performance.
The Brazilian commentator was even more excited: "Neymar has passed two people in a row, and it is like entering a no-man's land! The defense of the Chinese team is completely vulnerable in the face of his assault! If this continues, the second goal will still come soon!"
However, by the thirtieth minute of the game, eleven minutes had passed since Brazil's last goal, and the second goal had not yet arrived.
However, the Chinese team withstood the attack of the Brazilian team during this time, and the offense began to slowly improve.
In the 31st minute, when the Chinese team attacked the left side of the front, Yan Min accidentally stopped the football out of the bottom line ten meters away from the bottom line, which caused a burst of laughter from the shoe fans in the stands.
Yan Min, who helped the Brazilian team take the lead, is estimated to be almost like a clown in the eyes of these Brazilian fans. There were also Brazilian fans who were next to the sideline shouting at Yan Min, "Thank you!"
Thanks to his own goal, and also thanks to him for this mistake of stopping the ball, and returning possession to the Brazilian team.
Although Yan Min couldn't understand Portuguese, he still knew what the other party's laughter meant, and he was very, very unhappy and sad when he caused an own goal, and the laughter of the Brazilian fans was more like rubbing salt on his wounds.
He pursed his lips tightly to keep the crown of his clenched teeth from showing.
Alves, Brazil's right wing-back, went to throw the ball and Oscar dropped back to meet it.
Yan Min didn't retreat, but stared at him not far from Oscar.
Alves threw the football to Oscar.
Oscar originally wanted to pass the football directly to Alves, but when the football flew towards him, he suddenly hesitated again, because there was no one behind him, Yan Min was on his side, he could have stopped the football and turned forward, he was still confident in his skills in this regard.
But it was such a hesitation that when the football flew in front of him, he had not yet decided whether to stop or pass.
This hesitation caused him to make a mistake when handling the ball, and he didn't know whether to stop too big or pass too small......
In short, after the football hit his foot, it neither landed nor stopped at his feet, nor flew out and rolled to Alves' feet.
Instead, they fell towards a position between the two that made them both awkward.
Yan Min, who was next to him, was like a falcon that swooped down to capture its prey, rushing forward with one lunge, and before Oscar and Alves could react, he had already intercepted the football!
"Yan Min!
Although Yan Min grabbed the ball, his next situation was not very good, with Alves in front and Oscar in the back, as long as he hesitated a little, there was no room to get the ball.
Yan Min, who is good at dribbling, did not carry the ball himself after intercepting the ball, but did not hesitate to sweep the football directly with his left foot into the penalty area of the Brazilian team next to him.
"Chance!" He Ping shouted.
Because he saw a glaring void.
It's such a big void because Brazil are not prepared to defend their own backcourt clearances at all - possession is on their side, what to defend?
Before clearing the ball, Thiago Silva ran to the outside of the penalty area, came up and gave Alves, who threw the throw-in, an extra choice of the ball point, and He Ying pressed him and stuck to his side.
David Ruiz, meanwhile, was still near the penalty spot, which was where he should be, so there was a huge gap of about 20 metres between him and Thiago Silva......
And this vacancy is Yan Min's passing target!
At the same time, when Yan Min grabbed it, Zhou Yi suddenly started from the spot and accelerated to the empty space in the penalty area.
His forward thrust was so sudden that Fernandinho, who was originally beside him, didn't react, and when he saw Zhou Yi's figure, he had already been left behind......
When Zhou Yi ran into the void, Yan Min's pass had already arrived.
At this time, David Ruiz hurriedly came up to block, Zhou Yi didn't give him a chance to block himself, he didn't stop the ball and shot directly with his feet!
The ball was shot in an arc by the outside of his left foot, bypassing David Ruiz and Cesar, who came out to block the angle, and flew in from the far corner of the goal!
"Ahh "Good goal! Good goal! Good goal! Chinese team equalized! Zhou Yi scored! This is his first goal in the World Cup!
When Zhou Yi's football flew into the goal, there were only cheers from Chinese fans in the entire Mineiro Stadium, and their voices were clear, because the vast majority of Brazilian fans were all stunned - they didn't expect the goal to come so suddenly, from Oscar's mistake to the final goal, the whole process did not take more than five seconds.
