In the first half, the Chinese team continued to attack the Colombian goal, and then Colombia's goalkeeper Ospina made all kinds of wonderful saves to keep the goal intact.

It wasn't until the last moments of the first half that the Chinese team's offensive slowed down and Colombia also got a chance.

In the 38th minute, Zheng Zhi raised his foot too high in front of the penalty area, and the referee awarded him a foul and gave Colombia a free kick opportunity at the edge of the Chinese team's penalty area.

Guarín and James Rodriguez were both in front of the ball and both had the ability to take free-kicks, but the way they took the penalty was completely different.

When the referee blew the whistle, Guarín took the lead and made a gesture to hit the ball hard, but when he was about to get to the front of the ball, he slammed to the other side, and then James Rodriguez followed up with a left-footed curling shot!

The football bypassed the Chinese team's human wall and went straight to the Chinese team's goal.

Sun Pan, who was relatively idle in the first half, finally got a chance to show himself, he jumped in the air, stretched his body, blocked it, and gave Colombia a corner.

In the past, the Chinese team had an advantage in attack, in this case, in fact, the most worrying thing was that the goalkeeper would lose concentration and misjudge in the face of the sudden ball...... Fortunately, Sun Pan didn't have such a ......"

It was the last chance for Colombia to threaten in the first half.

It didn't take long for referee Velasco to blow the whistle for the end of the first half, and the Chinese team entered the dressing room to maintain a one-goal lead.

There may be Chinese fans who feel sorry and worried that the Chinese team has only scored one goal, but in Lippi's view, the score is completely acceptable. Most importantly, the score does not discourage the players from being alert and motivated, giving them an advantage and keeping them from underdog in the rest of the game.

After returning to the dressing room, Lippi did not praise the team's performance in the first half, nor did he criticize the team for wasting opportunities in the first half, he directly began the tactical arrangement, telling everyone how to play in the second half with a 1-0 lead.

Continue to put pressure on Colombia, just like in the first half, Yang Muge will continue to stick to James Rodriguez, not give him a chance to send any good passes, and not give him a chance to score.

At the same time, we should also pay more attention to Guarin and Cuadrado, who can also pose a threat to the Chinese team's goal in addition to James Rodriguez.

On the Colombian side, coach Pekerman continued to instill confidence in his players, telling them that it was not a big deal to be down by one goal and that they could equalise if they kept trying. And once the score is equalized, the situation will become favorable to Colombia, and the Chinese team will definitely fall into panic at that time, and Colombia will be able to completely defeat the Chinese team as long as it blows again.

Pekerman did his best to paint a picture of the future for the players and inspire them. Because Colombia's offense was really lackluster in the first half, it was almost completely suppressed by the Chinese team.

While the coaches of both sides were making adjustments, on the TV station, the commentators and guests were also commenting on the first half and looking forward to the second half.

On the one hand, everyone on Chinese TV was happy with the performance of the Chinese team in the first half, but on the other hand, they were a little worried, worried that the Chinese team wasted too many opportunities in the first half, after all, it is really dangerous to only lead by one goal now.

As the saying goes, "a one-goal lead is the most dangerous score in the world".

The guests offered suggestions for the Chinese team from their own perspectives, predicting Lippi's adjustments in the second half.

But no matter what the strategy is, the key point is that the Chinese team should score as soon as possible in the second half and score more goals. The best thing to do was to score two goals in a row at the beginning of the second half, completely strangling the idea of Colombia's counterattack.

After a fifteen-minute half-time break, the two sides changed sides in the second half.

Colombia made adjustments at the start of the second half, after all, they were the side behind.

Striker Gustavo Adrien Ramos, who was only announced to join Borussia Dortmund this summer, came on to replace Ivalvo and changed the formation to 442, which was a clear sign to strengthen the attack.

After the start of the second half, Colombia's offensive has strengthened, and Colombia, which has fallen behind, actually has no way back now, it is better to give it a go, there are several chances of equalizing.

So in the second half, Colombia's offensive was fierce, and they fought against the Chinese team.

In the fiftieth minute, when Zhou Yi got the ball in front, he tried to break through, but was put to the ground by Almero, and the referee awarded a free kick to the Chinese team. Zhang Linpeng pretended to kick this free kick, but when he ran to the football, he stepped on the football to the side, and Zhou Yi, who was following him, directly passed the football diagonally to the middle of the penalty area.

The Chinese players protested, but soon stopped dwelling on the matter.

Colombia's first shot of the second half came in the 59th minute, when James Rodriguez got ahead of Yang Muge and fired a left-footed volley straight into the box, but it went high.

In the 64th minute, Gao Lin crossed from the left, Ospina came out to beat the ball out, but the ball flew out and remained under the control of the Chinese team.

Zhou Yi was plugged straight outside the penalty area, and He Ying was interfered with by Zuniga when he shot the goal, and the ball hit the side netting.

In the 66th minute, Colombia won a free kick in front, and James Rodriguez hoisted the football into the penalty area, causing a scuffle in the Chinese team's penalty area.

It's still Sun Pan, who played well and lifted the football out of the crossbar with one palm!

"Sun Pan made another wonderful save! When Yepes shot, the football flew towards the back point, and I believe that many Chinese fans were cold!"

The Colombian fans in the stands began to cheer up, because the team's current performance gave them hope of equalizing and even winning the game.

Amid their cheers, James Rodriguez ran to kick the corner. However, after this corner kick was kicked, it did not pose any threat to the Chinese team's goal.

Zapata's header flew high over the line.

There was a loud sigh from the Colombian fans in the stands, lamenting that Zapata had missed the opportunity.

In the 69th minute, Yan Min was tackled to the ground from the side by James Rodriguez when he cut inside to the ribs on the left side.

He himself was shown a yellow card by referee Velasco and China was awarded a free kick in front of the Colombian penalty area.

This free kick is in a very good position, it can be hit directly at the goal, more than 30 meters away, not too far, very suitable for power. Don't worry that the distance is too short, the football will fly directly out of the bottom line without a distance drop after it rises.

Zhou Yi and Zheng Zhi both stood in front of the football, and the two of them were discussing.

"Don't shoot this ball directly...... Zhou Yi said to Zheng Zhi.

"What's the matter?" asked Zheng Zhi.

"Let's make a change, haven't we practiced free-kick tactics before?"

"Oh, yes......" Zheng Zhi remembered, and he nodded in agreement. "What tactic to use?"

"Number three. ”

"No. 3 ......" Zheng Zhi thought for a while, recalled in his mind what the No. 3 free kick tactic was, and then he looked at the current situation and felt that it was indeed very suitable to use the No. 3 tactic, so he nodded in agreement.

After the exchange, Zhou Yi retreated and walked to the line of the big penalty area, leaving Zheng Zhi alone in front of the football.

Zhou Yi, who walked to the front of the big penalty area, shouted to his teammates in the penalty area: "Everyone, pay attention, No. 3 free kick tactic!"

He didn't make any gestures and codes, he just shouted out openly, that is, he bullied that no one in the Colombian team could understand Chinese.

The Chinese players can communicate directly on the pitch without any cover-up.

Just like when Zhou Yi communicated with Zheng Zhi just now, he neither avoided the Colombian players around him, nor did he cover his mouth with his hands.

The other party didn't understand at all, and even if he shouted like this, the Colombian player was confused and didn't know what he said.

As soon as they heard the No. 3 free kick tactic, the Chinese players in the penalty area all thought of the attacking free kick routine they practiced in training.

So everyone looked left and right, observed the surrounding situation, and prepared for the running position at that time.
