The quarterfinals of the World Cup between China and Senegal are definitely not exciting.

It was Senegal who could make the game exciting, but they were too preoccupied and overly cautious, and there was no problem with strategic awareness in the knockout rounds.

After all, even the world's strongest teams will be cautious in the knockout round.

At the same time, there are almost no major adjustments at the technical and tactical level.

Because there is no room for trial and error, and they are not willing to bear the cost of trial and error.

Sadio Mane, Dia and Saar, although they have shown excellent individual ability, are always in a situation of being surrounded and suppressed, and it is difficult to create a threat.

Sporadic long-range shots and lucky crosses were able to make the Chinese team nervous, but they couldn't finish the scoring after all.

In the 76th minute of the game, Ye Yifeng's consciousness fell into darkness.

It's time to hang up.

He stood in the space of consciousness for a long time without moving.

Tangled!

There was no environment in which the Chinese team could play a counter-attacking threat.

And looking at the trend, Senegal does not intend to break the boat in regular time.

It doesn't even matter if there will be a move in overtime.

After all, both teams are about to reach their physical limits.

The more time passes, the easier it is for the technical moves to get out of shape.

Reflexes will also decrease.

Striker, midfielder, defender, which to choose?

The real problem in front of Ye Yifeng is that it is not that he lacks the ability to score for the Chinese team, but that he does not meet the environmental conditions for the Chinese team to play.

And if Senegal does not have a decisive battle, it makes little sense for him to strengthen the defense.

So, what will the game ultimately rely on to decide?

Thinking of this, Ye Yifeng chose the door god self-selected card for the first time in his career.

Although there are European football elites mixed in to make up the numbers.

But there are 7 door gods in the 15 people who choose it.

He gambled.

The goalkeeper came to meet his wishes.

Didn't come, don't force it.

A row of cards disappears.

In the pitch-black space of consciousness, a light bloomed in front of it, from a bright spot to a bright spot, and the Italian flag appeared in front of him from far and near.

Immediately after, in a dazzling light, Francisco Toldo stepped out of the flag.

Ye Yifeng nodded slightly.

At least people who come along their own lines.

Consciousness returns to reality.

The Chinese team made substitutions.

Trere replaces Fernando.

Lippi didn't dare to take too much risk at this time.

The World Cup is not the place to gamble.

A regular counterpoint substitution.

Senegal have yet to make any substitutions, they have put on their strongest line-up, and there is little point in making substitutions.

After all, he is still very cautious in his style of play.

The less time there is, the more conservative the two teams play.

The slower the tempo, the more the defense will make it impossible for the opponent to find a flaw.

In the 86th minute of the game, Ye Yifeng just hit the front, and almost the whole Senegal team retreated to the backfield, he was surrounded by the forward line and the midfield, and there was no space to respond.

He chose to retreat with a smile.

Senegal are well aware of who is the biggest threat and will not be careless in their defence.

Before the end of the 90 minutes of regular play, the Senegalese team made a wave.

Mbaye got the assist up front and delivered a mediocre cross at the end.

Wang Dalei attacked and took the ball out of the air.

After he dragged his feet out of the way, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the second half.

The Chinese fans shouted hoarsely.

It turned out to be 0:0.

I haven't even seen a shot that was exciting enough.

The same goes for Senegalese fans.

At this stage, Cisse no longer speculated on Lippi's tactical intentions.

It doesn't make sense anymore.

When it comes to overtime, it is bound to be a stage where the team grits its its teeth and persists, but also pays more attention to defense.

To fight and rush?

Didn't rush up for 90 minutes of regular time, and rushed in overtime?

Isn't that a contradiction?

Ye Yifeng cheered for his teammates, he clenched his fists and said to everyone sonorously: "We have no regrets about coming here, but we can definitely hold on and see what kind of results will happen!"

Believe in yourself, I believe in you, we now have the same probability of qualifying as Senegal, five or five.

Why can't it be us?!

It will definitely be us! ”

The teammates also cheered each other on.

Wang Dalei, who yelled at the defense line on weekdays, took the initiative to hug every teammate and repeated Ye Yifeng's last words.

Wu Xi also actively boosted the morale of the team.

At this moment, they were unprecedentedly united and united.

When the overtime started, the cheers of the Chinese fans were still earth-shattering!

Red flags flying.

Senegal opened the game with the first sneak attack.

A wave of onslaught forced Ye Yifeng to retreat to the penalty area to fill the position, and finally Jiang Guangtai rushed to clear the ball when Dia grabbed the point to resolve the danger.

The Chinese team was suddenly a little nervous, and the whole team retreated to the 30-yard area in front of the goal to defend.

Senegal, however, only made a wave of sneak attacks and then slowed down the tempo.

In the 96th minute, Ye Yifeng found Li Ke with the ball in the backfield in the counterattack, and then he ran forward to drive the Senegal forward line to retreat, and the midfield followed the defense, he slowed down after hitting the dangerous area of the attack, and Wu Lei couldn't find a passing line for Ye Yifeng after receiving it in front, so he could only do it alone.

Unsurprisingly, the ball was cut off by Kalidou Koulibaly.

When Senegal attacked, Ye Yifeng had already retreated to the midfield and continued to retreat.

Cisse was expressionless, but disappointed in his heart.

The blitzkrieg didn't work out and the game was back to the rhythm of regular time.

The two teams were afraid of each other.

Senegal kept Ye Yifeng's threat under control well, but at the same time lost their threat in attack.

The same solo fight continues.

Mane's mishandling of the ball suggests that he is also in a problem with fitness.

At this stage, Senegal has more troops in the backfield.

Because it is difficult to press to the front court to the limit, you have to sprint in defense to catch up with Ye Yifeng.

When the physical strength can't keep up, you can only take care of one of the two ends.

Soon the first half of extra time was over, and the two teams exchanged sides after drinking on the sidelines.

Senegal substitutions.

Cisse brought on three players, two midfielders and one striker.

It's all about substitutions in an attempt to add to the team's dynamism.

But the players who just came on were obviously a little nervous.

Changing the Chinese team to play a sneak attack, Ye Yifeng was dragged to the ground as soon as he entered the offensive danger area.

The Chinese team's direct free kick, although it was 30 yards away from the goal, still made the Senegalese fans nervous, and they couldn't help but start pinching eggs.

Ye Yifeng, who was close to running out of energy, took a free kick and hit a curling ball, although the football flew over the wall to the goal, but the ball speed was not enough, and Mendy confiscated the ball smoothly.

Cisse had to gesture on the sidelines to remind the midfielders to strengthen the siege of Ye Yifeng and not to foul hastily!

In case he was hit by Ye Yifeng's free kick again, he would want to cry without tears.

By the final three minutes of the slow-paced and dull game, both teams had gone through the motions and were completely out of threat.

Almost all of them tightened the fence in their respective halves to avoid being killed by their opponents!

When the fourth official held up the sign and signaled one minute of stoppage time, Lippi gestured to Ye Yifeng in the field.

Ye Yifeng glanced at the sidelines and knew what the situation was.

During the last attack of the Chinese team, he came to the right side of the front, received Xu Xin's pass and kicked the ball forward outside the sideline in front of the baseline.

Senegal has not yet served the ball on the sideline at the back.

The Chinese team substitution!

Cisse turned his head to look, and the Chinese team used up three substitutions at one time.

There is no doubt that Lippi came up as a penalty taker.

Luo Guofu, Alain, Ackerson, three naturalized players are on the scene!

replaced Li Ke, Xu Xin, and Chi Zhongwei.

After the three naturalized players entered the field, the Chinese team defended in the backfield.

Senegal kicked the ball from the sideline at the back, and when he slowly organized the attack forward, the referee blew the whistle for the end of extra time!

"At the end of the 120-minute game, the Chinese team 0:0 Senegal!

Now the game will go to a brutal penalty shootout! ”

"The Chinese team has done a good job of fighting for this, although Senegal has never launched a full-scale offensive, but this is the knockout round of the World Cup, and it takes a lot of courage to let a team attack the opponent with impunity.

The Chinese team successfully contained Senegal's forward line through intensive defense, and now, we and Senegal have a chance to advance to the quarterfinals of the World Cup! ”

When Lippi began to work out the order of the list of penalties, Ye Yifeng walked to Wang Dalei's side, who was drinking water and listening carefully to Lippi's words, to be precise, listening to the translator relay Lippi's words.

Ye Yifeng hugged Wang Dalei and said to him seriously: "Penalty shootout, I'll guard the goal, how about it?" ”

Wang Dalei almost squirted out a mouthful of water.

His face was full of astonishment.

After coming back to his senses, he also hugged Ye Yifeng with his backhand, and said to him a little nervously: "Team Ye, you want to keep the goal, no problem, but I don't think it's necessary, we have come this far, you have won the world!"

No one else could have brought us here, and you did!

You don't have to!

If you lose on penalties......"

"I know, I know, but I want to win, trust me."

Ye Yifeng knew what Wang Dalei meant when he said that it was not necessary.

The penalty shoot-out was won, and everyone was happy.

If he keeps the goal and loses the penalty shootout, he is likely to take the blame, unless it is a situation where the Chinese team loses after he saves one or two penalties.

Wang Dalei didn't want Ye Yifeng to bear this pressure.

From a utilitarian point of view, it is really not necessary.

Wang Dalei said solemnly: "Otherwise, you gesture to me, which way to pounce?" You point to me, I listen to you, I trust you absolutely. ”

Ye Yifeng smiled and shook his head, and said, "Let me be willful once." ”

Wang Dalei was silent for a moment and then nodded and said: "Okay, then you guard the door, in case, I mean in case, if we are eliminated, I will say that my wrist is uncomfortable as soon as I am after the game, you are the firefighter and the goalkeeper, don't say it." ”

Ye Yifeng hugged him, a little moved, and said: "Thank you, but I am the captain, I should cover you, win, we will enter the quarterfinals together, and if we lose, I will bear the responsibility." ”

After the negotiation, Ye Yifeng turned to Lippi and said, "I'll guard the door." ”

Everyone else looked at him and was shocked!

Lippi stared at Ye Yifeng for ten seconds before nodding slowly.

Between master and apprentice, there is no need to say much.

When the penalty shootout was about to start, everyone was unbelievable to see Ye Yifeng put on Wang Dalei's goalkeeper jersey, and then walked to the referee to inform the opposing Chinese team of changing the goalkeeper.

Because there are no substitutions involved, just a change of position on the field, this is allowed within the rules.

The Senegalese generals are stunned!

it!

I haven't seen you in 120 minutes!

When it came to the penalty shootout, you stepped on the horse and actually held back a big move!
