Chapter 10 Do your best

When He Ying collapsed in the penalty area, the Chinese fans in the stands were already cheering, and they thought it was a penalty, no doubt.

At the same time, the Chilean fans in the stands booed – they reflexively believed that He Ying had faked the fall.

But what the fans think, it doesn't matter, what matters is what the referee thinks.

Douai whistled for a timeout and ran into the box before raising his arm to the penalty spot.

This is the standard penalty gesture!

Judging from the slow-motion replay from multiple angles, Gutierrez's foul is also undoubted, he did shovel He Ying's foot, although he certainly didn't mean to, he originally wanted to tackle the ball, but He Ying was faster than him, and took the football first, he couldn't hold his foot, so he could only kick He Ying.

When Gutierrez fouled, the referee was in a good position, there was no cover in front of him, and he saw the whole process of Gutierrez's foul.

So he awarded a penalty.

Of course, the Chilean players could not accept this result like this, whether they were justified or not, they had to protest around the referee.

But this is useless, and after talking for a long time, the result of the penalty cannot be changed.

And Gutiérrez was also shown a yellow card by referee Douai for this tackle from diagonally behind.

Gutierrez had only been substituted for five minutes before he received a yellow card and gave the Chinese team a penalty...... Sam Pauli doesn't know if he will regret his substitution......" Duan Xin teased.

The Chinese team got a penalty, the equalizer was in sight, and his mood was much better.

When Gutierrez fouled the Chinese team to take a penalty, the TV broadcast also took the time to give Vidal, who had been substituted, a close-up to see his performance.

Vidal spread his hands, looking helpless.

Sampaoli was complaining to the fourth official, who insisted that He Ying must have faked a fall.

※※※

Referee Douai kicked all the irrelevant people out of the penalty area, and now in the penalty area, apart from him, Chilean goalkeeper Bravo and He Ying are left.

He Ying will personally take the penalty.

If he can score, he'll score twice.

This has made new history - he is not only the first Chinese men's football player to score in the World Cup, but also the first Chinese men's footballer to score twice in the World Cup, and is currently the Chinese men's footballer with the most goals in the World Cup......

That's why you have a low base, and you can set a record casually.

"He Ying is going to take this penalty kick ...... that he created himself" Duan Xin's voice was much quieter, as if he was afraid of disturbing He Ying.

Chinese fans held their breath and stared at the Chilean goal.

The Chilean fans, on the other hand, kept making noises and wanted to disturb He Ying. Fortunately, in the second half, the two sides changed places, and the Chilean goal was just under the stands where Chinese fans gathered, so there would not be a large number of fans waving their arms to interfere with He Ying.

Many of the Chinese fans here folded their hands and closed their eyes and didn't dare to look.

Referee Douai blew the whistle when he saw that both players had withdrawn from the penalty area and that goalkeepers Bravo and He Ying were ready.

The whistle sounded.

He Ying took a deep breath and began to run.

With his action, the Chinese fans, both at the scene and in front of the TV, also held their breath.

He Ying's running distance was not long, only two steps, he ran to the football, then supported his body with his left foot, moved his right foot, and kicked towards the football!

Bang!

The ball flew to the top right corner of the goal!

Goalkeeper Bravo judged the right direction, but he didn't save high enough to touch the football!

At this time, Chilean fans were praying that the football would eventually fly off the crossbar, but it didn't make it happen.

The football kicked by He Ying flew steadily from the underside of the crossbar into the goal!

"The ball is in!! 2:2! "He Ying calmly and calmly hit the upper corner and kicked the football into it steadily! Although Bravo judged the right direction, He Ying shot the ball too badly, and he couldn't pounce!"

"It's really bold...... Zhang Lu sighed beside him. "Many players will choose to play boccia ball, so it is safe, but He Ying shot into the upper corner...... With a little more force, the ball could fly out...... Young people nowadays, it's amazing!"

※※※

He Ying was very excited after the goal, he scored twice after all, this time he did not run to the stands where the Chinese fans gathered, although it was in front of him, he turned and ran to the Chinese team's bench, followed by his teammates.

Then he plunged headlong into the crowd in front of the Chinese team's bench and hugged Zhou Yi.

"This ball is for you, Zhou Yi!" He Ying shouted excitedly in his ear.

"Thank you!" Zhou Yi slapped He Ying's back hard.

Others rushed up and drowned both of them.

"He Ying gave Zhou Yi a hug ......" Duan Xin choked up when she said this. "It's a united collective, a united team......"

※※※

The Chinese fans in the stands cheered to their heart's content. Many of them came to Brazil from China, and not every fan who came to Brazil to cheer for the Chinese team has a lot of money, and there is no pressure to come to Brazil to watch the game.

Many of them are ordinary working-class people, who are avid Chinese fans who have paid a huge price to come to Brazil to watch football. These costs may include lost jobs or strained relationships with family members.

But they still come.

For them, Chinese football is their faith.

Today, after letting them down again and again, Chinese football has finally made them raise their eyebrows.

On the highest stage of world football in the World Cup, the Chinese team chased two goals in a row!

This is a tenacious and united Chinese team, which is very different from the Chinese team they remember. There are no factions or mountains in the team, just one young man after another full of vitality.

Although there is no Zhou Yi, it makes them a little worried.

But now the performance of the Chinese team has made their hearts fall into their stomachs again.

Without Zhou Yi, the strength of the Chinese team will indeed be affected, but as long as this team is united, fans dare to pin more hopes on them.

Being able to see these two goals today is worth the ticket price for those Chinese fans who have paid a huge price to come to Brazil to watch the game.

They cheered and vented their inner emotions.

With the exception of 2002, they have been the most enthusiastic spectators of every World Cup on the planet, turning an event that has nothing to do with them into a domestic event.

And this time, it really has something to do with them.

Their passion for football has given them emotional sustenance at this World Cup.

After the Chinese team finished their celebrations, the game continued.

The Chilean team, which had just been equalised, was a little confused. They never imagined that they scored two goals in the first thirteen minutes of the game, but the game did not enter their rhythm, but let the Chinese team chase two in a row and equalize the score......

This trance allowed Chile to be almost completely suppressed by the Chinese team in the game.

Two minutes after the Chinese team scored, Zheng Zhi fired a long-range shot from the right side of the penalty area, and the ball went wide.

In the 69th minute, Zhang Linpeng sent a 45-degree angle cross from the right side, and He Ying grabbed the point in front of the goal again, but his header was slightly higher.

"The Chinese team is obviously picking up the pace and they want to take advantage of the momentum they just equalized to score another goal. After all, if they want to qualify from this group, they will have to beat Chile in their first game!"

But unfortunately, this acceleration of the Chinese team did not last long, because they had problems with their fitness.

This game is the first game of the Chinese team in this World Cup, and the whole team was nervous at the beginning and was scored twice in a row. In the following game time, the Chinese team has been trying their best to catch up. It's finally equal, and the physical energy consumption is about the same.

The pace of the game was completely different from the usual ones, and the players were physically drained faster.

Of course, the Chinese team consumed a lot of physical energy, and the Chilean team was not much better.

By the 75th minute, both teams were in a serious physical dip and errors in passing and receiving began to increase. Yang Hao, who is excellent in physical fitness in the national team, even has cramps......

Lippi then replaced Yang Hao with Zhao Xuyang.

In the 83rd minute, Sanchez had a good chance, but his long-range shot from outside the box flew straight into the stands.

After the shot, Sanchez propped his hands on his knees and gasped for air.

He was tired enough, too.

Because Vidal was in a slump, Chile's offensive in this game was basically led by him alone. He kept running and also consumed a lot of energy.

Now the game is developing and he's a little depressed. It was obviously a two-goal lead, but now it has become a draw, and the three points in hand have become one point. He desperately tried to get the three points back, and the result was an anti-aircraft gun......

In fact, the Chinese team has the same idea as Sanchez, they also want to win this game.

It's easier to get all three points against Chile than it is to get three points from the Netherlands or Spain, right?

But the Chinese team is now also "willing to kill thieves and have no power to return to the sky".

Although I really wanted to win, I had too much physical exertion before, coupled with the lack of real organizers, and I didn't know how to exert my strength at the last moment.

Lippi's alternative tactics are actually quite successful, but it also depends on the situation. It can be used in this way for most of the game, and when it is necessary to break out with all its might, it is inevitable that there will be some single means and lack of variation when it is so big......

At this time, everyone misses Zhou Yi immensely.

If Zhou Yi is on the pitch, he will definitely have a way to lead them to tear apart the Chilean defence.
