Chapter Twenty-Eight: Kicking the Defect...... Is it?

In the forty-first minute, Zhou Yi took the ball at the front of the Spanish penalty area, he first turned the football and passed it back, and then ran back, and at the same time He Ying also retreated a little.

As a result, the Spanish backline has pressed forward a little as a whole - they don't want to give people like Zhou Yi and He Ying room to turn around.

Yang Muge took the ball in the back, and after seeing Zhou Yi retreat a certain distance, he passed the football back.

Zhou Yi raised his arms and prepared to catch the ball.

Xavi Alonso immediately stuck it on and didn't let him turn around.

In the face of the incoming ball, Zhou Yi's body was slightly sideways, and at the same time, the outside instep of his right foot sharpened the incoming ball, and the football flew past him and Alonso, drawing an arc, straight to the space behind Spain's rib defense!

Because of He Ying's retreat, the Spanish defense line followed and pressed out, and there was a big gap there!

And Zhou Yi accurately found the vacancy while facing away from the direction of the attack!

"Oh! What a ball!" Liu Jianhong couldn't help but exclaim.

The stands also resounded with the cheers of Chinese fans.

The ball flew over the heads of the Spanish defenders and into the void behind them.

At the same time, Yan Min relied on his excellent starting speed, suddenly accelerated, and hit behind the Spanish defenders, chasing the football!

At this time, the Spanish goalkeeper Reina decisively abandoned the goal and pounced on the football. If he is fast enough, he can save the ball before Yan Min, and even if he is a little slower, he can block Yan Min's shot angle, and in the case of a small angle, Yan Min will hardly have room to shoot.

But Yan Min didn't want to shoot......

Relying on excellent explosiveness and speed, although he was farther away from the football, Yan Min still caught up with the football before Reina, he did not stop the ball to adjust, nor did he shoot directly, but jumped up and bounced the football to the middle with the outside of his right foot and crossed!

Yan Min ...... Cross!"

He Ying followed up in the middle and wanted to grab the ball, but he was firmly suppressed by Spain's central defender Albiol next to him, and the arms of the two sides were entangled, and He Ying had no way to accelerate and rush.

At the same time, in front of him, Sergio Ramos blocked Yan Min's cross out of the bottom line with a big foot!

"It's so dangerous! Ramos made a key defense! Reina's attack choice is right, it can only be said that Yan Min's speed is too fast......" The Spanish commentator felt that he was always repeating the word during this time, but there was no way, who made the Chinese team's offensive more fierce during this time?

He Ying, who didn't grab the point, raised his arm and appealed to the referee Shuklala, who thought that Albiol pulled his arm so that he didn't grab the point, so Albiol was a foul and should be awarded a penalty.

However, Shuklala disagreed, and shook his head at He Ying.

He Ying was also helpless, so he could only spread his hands.

※※※

Because of Ramos's clearance, the Chinese team won a corner, and Zhou Yi ran to kick this corner.

At the club, Zhou Yi is not the number one set-piece, and if Reus and Shaheen are around, it is usually their job to take corners. But that doesn't mean Zhou Yi won't kick corners, and it's not difficult for a player with excellent long passing ability to kick corners.

It's just a matter of wanting to or not wanting to.

In the club, Dortmund has a number of players who are suitable for corner kicks, and Zhou Yi has no need to compete with others, so he does all the work.

But the situation is different in the national team, and there is really no better set-piece penalty taker other than him.

Therefore, in the Chinese national team, Zhou Yi has to handle all set-pieces except for direct free kicks and penalty kicks.

Corners are his job, left and right.

When Zhou Yi ran to take a corner kick, he made a gesture to Yan Min and motioned for him to lean over.

Yan Min guessed that Zhou Yi should be going to send a tactical corner, that is, a short corner, and someone needed to go up to answer it, so he ran up.

His move naturally attracted the attention of the Spanish players.

Cazorla did not enter the penalty area to participate in the defense because of his short stature, and now that Yan Min pulled it out, he could just go up to help defend, so he stuck to Yan Min, intending not to let him turn around easily.

After Zhou Yi set up the football, he got up and saw Cazorla behind Yan Min, but he didn't care.

He looked up into the restricted area, which was also ready.

No one pushed, shoved, and no one hugged each other.

The referee blew the whistle.

Zhou Yi helped run, and then passed the football to Yan Min, who came up to pick him up.

He then quickly ran out of the corner flag and circled the box from the outside.

After Yan Min received the ball, he did not immediately pass it back to Zhou Yi, but tried to carry the ball himself, but he was forced by Cazorla to turn around, so he could only take it to the side, so he took it from the penalty area to the side.

And in the process, Zhou Yi also ran outside the corner of the big penalty area.

Yan Min completed the turn near the touchline, but was unable to get rid of Cazorla.

Seeing this, he no longer hesitated, and directly passed the football to Zhou Yi.

In the process of the football rolling to Zhou Yi, the Spanish players who were originally in the penalty area pressed forward one after another, on the one hand, to create offside, and on the other hand, of course, to force Zhou Yi.

Zhou Yi quickly turned his head to look at the penalty area, and then picked up his left foot against the football that was passed by Yan Min.

Look at his posture, he is going to shoot directly!

The nearest Spaniard is Koke, a player who plays for Atletico Madrid and has played against Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League in the previous two seasons.

Especially last season, he still remembers it clearly. When Dortmund was playing at home, when the whole Dortmund team had no way to take Sun Pan, who was guarding the goal, no matter how they attacked, it was Zhou Yi's sudden long-range shot outside the penalty area that hit a world wave and hit the goal guarded by Sun Pan, thus knocking Atletico Madrid out of the game.

So now that he saw Zhou Yi picking up his foot again outside the forbidden area, how could the string in his heart not be tightened?

He rushed towards Zhou Yi and wanted to block Zhou Yi's shot with his body.

At the same time, the goalkeeper Reina in front of the Spanish goalkeeper also firmly locked his eyes on Zhou Yi, and at the same time lowered his center of gravity and made a gesture of preparing to save.

In addition to them, other Spanish players couldn't help but set their eyes on Zhou Yi, TV broadcasts, TV viewers, fans on the scene, coaches and substitute players on both sides of the field, all firmly nailed their eyes to Zhou Yi.

I saw Zhou Yi's left foot kick the football, and the football went around the side of Cork who pounced and flew towards the goal!

But soon everyone found out that the flight trajectory of the football was wrong, Zhou Yi shot this time, it stands to reason that the football should go straight to the goal, but he kicked out an external rotation arc, and the football flew down like this, and it will fly parallel to the goal......

This shot is too inaccurate, right?

Could it be that Zhou Yi kicked it?

Many people were stunned.

Because the ball is spinning outward, the Spanish international Reina in front of the goal did not attack to get the ball, because he couldn't hold the ball at all, and it was not a ball under his control.

At the same time, the Spanish players in the box were not sure about the ball - it looked like the shot was going to be no threat to the football, and if you let it fly past it, it would fly off the line.

But Ramos had a vague sense that something was wrong.

A voice in his head told him he should get rid of the ball.

But the ball was fast and high, and by the time Ramos realized something was wrong, it had already flown over his head. He could only turn around with the football, and then he saw a scene that frightened him - at the back of the goal, the football fell rapidly, and at the same time, a Chinese player in a red jersey rushed up, and then jumped up and headed at the football that flew right there!

※※※

Yan Min passed the football to Zhou Yi, and Zhou Yi shot directly without stopping the ball...... Oops, this ball hits...... Guo Nu!?" Liu Jianhong also thought that Zhou Yi had made a mistake at first, but when his eyes shifted to the back point with the football, he was surprised to find that there, Guo Nu jumped up and headed at the falling football!

So at this time, his mind suddenly understood - what kind of kick was it? This is clearly a deliberate sound, putting on a shooting stance, and finally kicking a precise cross!

Guo Nu, who was at the back point, was not stared at at all, and Reina was in front, and he didn't have time to return to the back point, although the angle was not big, but in front of him was the completely open goal of the Spanish team!

He doesn't even need to exert too much force, as long as he makes sure he can hit the ball right.

Bang!

He leaped to the top and headed the ball towards the goal!

There was no suspense that the football flew into the Spanish goal from the back post!

"Guo Nu!! Guo Nu!! beautiful! beautiful! The Chinese team broke the deadlock and took the lead!" Liu Jianhong almost jumped up from the commentary seat excitedly. "At the end of the first half, the Chinese team took the lead! Guo Nu! He scored his first goal in the World Cup!"
