He Ying's goal helped the Chinese team get a goal back. Although the Chinese team is still behind in the score, their performance is no longer as helpless as before.

This goal made the Chinese team more confident.

When the game started again, the Chinese team played more well. They now have a clear idea. On the basis of a stable defense, they will fight back if they have the opportunity to fight back.

Because of the increased confidence, the Chinese team's performance was better than before, so they had more opportunities in turn.

Just two minutes after they scored the goal, Yan Min passed the ball to the penalty area. After Gao Lin received the ball in the penalty area, he passed it to He Ying. He Ying shot from a small angle on the right, and the football was saved by Bravo.

"Bravo! He made a wonderful save to stop the Chinese team's attack!" The Chilean commentator shouted. "The Chinese team's offensive has been very strong during this period, and it is a test for Bravo..."

In the 42nd minute, the Chinese team launched another attack and hit the frontcourt. Yan Min rushed left and right on the wing, causing Chile's defense to be in a mess. In the end, Vidal couldn't bear it anymore and kicked Yan Min to the ground.

"Vidal's move...is obviously angry. Yan Min's flexible breakthrough made Chilean players' mentality a little unbalanced... But this move should be given to cards, but the referee Duais had no expression. This should not be..." Duan Xin was not very satisfied with the result of the penalty.

If Vidal can bear a yellow card in the first half, then as the main midfielder, it will definitely affect Vidal's performance in the second half and Chile's performance at the same time.

As a result, Vidal escaped without giving a yellow card.

"...The action just now gave Vidal a yellow card without any objection, the referee showed mercy..." Zhang Lu also indirectly criticized the referee's penalty standard issue.

Although he did not give a yellow card, the Chinese team won a free kick from the sidelines of the frontcourt.

Zheng Zhilai took the free kick.

He sent a high ball and passed the ball into the penalty area.

Although Guo Nu is not tall, his judgment on the landing point of the football is very accurate. Coupled with his amazing explosive power and bounce, he grabbed the football in front of the goal with many experts!

"Guo Nu - the lion shook his head!"

The football flew straight to the goal at such a close distance, and goalkeeper Bravo didn't have time to save. He made the move, but it was obviously slower...

Just when the blow was thinking that the ball was about to enter the goal, the football hit the upper edge of the crossbar and then bounced out of the bottom line!

"Oh!" Duan Xin slapped his thigh with regret. "The crossbar! The crossbar blocked Guo Nu's header! It's almost the same as the Chinese team can equalize the score before the end of the first half!"

"Oh!! The crossbar blocked the Chinese team's header! Guo Nu is only 1.77 meters tall, but he can get some of the many people in the penalty area! What are our people doing? During this period, the Chinese team's offensive is too strong, and our players' performance after conceding the ball is completely different from the previous team... Fortunately, the crossbar saved our lives! Now the first half is about to end, and Sang Baoli must adjust it well during the break!" The commentator of Chile TV was very glad.

Sang Baoli on the sidelines was indeed dissatisfied with the team's performance during this period. Seeing Guo Nu pushing the ball to the crossbar, he almost entered. He was furious and kept shouting in his mouth.

Lippi felt sorry for Guo Nu's failure to score the ball.

Guo Nu himself was the same. Seeing that the football didn't enter, he hugged his head with his hands, looking incredible. Even when he turned around and ran back, his hands didn't let go of his head...

After running back to the penalty area, Sun Pan refused to "mock" him: "It's embarrassing! Lao Guo. With your ability, how could this ball not be pushed?"

Guo angrily retorted: "You can do it, you...you go!"

Sun Pan was speechless - he really couldn't get on, and if he got on, he would be empty.

He didn't expect that he would be killed by the stuttering Guo Nu...

※※※

Guo Nu's header was the last threatening attack in the first half.

In the following minutes, neither side organized any decent offensive.

The referee from Côte d'Ivoire blew the whistle to the end of the first half.

"...At the end of the first half, the Chinese team temporarily lag behind Chile with a score of 1:2, but after losing two goals in three minutes, it has been very satisfying for the Chinese team to get a goal, especially before the end of the first half, Guo Nu was almost able to equalize the score for the Chinese team. The performance of the Chinese team in the second half of the first half gave everyone hope, and I believe they will definitely make a difference in the second half!" Duan Xin said.

"The most important thing is that we have a calm mind. We were too nervous before and made some mistakes. In fact, we can see that the Chinese team's strength on paper is not weaker than that of Chile. As long as we have the right mentality and perform normally, we will still compete with Chile." Zhang Lu added.

"Yes, I hope Coach Lippi can come up with some plans during the halftime break, I hope our boys can maintain this state, and I hope the second half can bring us hope. Well, the commentator for the first half is here, and see you in the second half!"

※※※

In the locker room, Lippi praised the team for her performance after falling behind two goals in the first half through the translation.

"...The key point is not whether to lose the ball or not, but what to do after you lose the ball. You are doing well in this regard." Lippi said with a lollipop in his mouth. Since FIFA's ban on smoking in the World Cup, people have no longer seen the classic scene of Lippi holding a big cigar in 2006.

"After the first half, Guo Nu's header was good. Although he didn't enter the goal, he sounded a wake-up call for Chile, making them realize that it is not safe to lead one ball. So if Chile invests more troops in the second half, then we have the opportunity to counterattack. But what if they are so satisfied with the lead of one ball? It doesn't matter, we have the ability to tear their defense and send the ball into their goal. Because we have excellent assaulters."

Speaking of this, Lippi pointed at Yan Min.

This is a praise for Yan Min in the first half.

Yan Min's performance in the first half is indeed worthy of praise. Except for the time when he lost two goals in a row at the beginning, he did not perform much, then he was very active in offense. The threatening attacks of the Chinese team all came from him.

After missing Zhou Yi as the organizer, Lippi made the Chinese team's offense simpler, more straightforward and rougher.

Although this technology is a little lower, it is a most efficient alternative.

Since the Chinese team lacks a high-level organizer and Zheng Zhi's level is not as good as Zhou Yi, why not just give up on the idea of ​​organization?

So Yan Min's role in this tactic is very important. Because he can now be said to be the player with the strongest assault ability of the Chinese team. He is fast, good at skill, flexible and agile, and can cross or shoot. Who else can be the other one?

Yan Min was very happy with Lippi's praise, and he straightened his chest while sitting in the seat.

"Remember, we are a whole. Everyone is very important, even those who sit on the bench and don't appear. To fight as a whole, everyone in the team will fight against you." Lippi opened his arms, as if he wanted to hug everyone in the locker room.

As a world-class coach who has led the team to the World Cup championship, Lippi's words are born with a magical power that makes people believe him easily. This is the head coach's personal charm and an embodiment of authority.

And he also knows how to use Zhou Yi, even if Zhou Yi cannot play...

"There is still some time." He raised his hand and looked at his watch, and then said to Zhou Yi, "Zhou Yi, can you say a few more words?"

He knew that Zhou Yi was a smart person and would not refuse him because of humility or shyness.

Sure enough, Zhou Yi was not surprised or refused, so he stood up from his seat and said to his teammates: "Thank you all. I can't play on the game, so I can only watch off the court. I have to ask you all if I can play in the World Cup. I know that the outside world has some comments on me, but I want to say that those comments are exaggerated. I know that I am a team player and I must rely on the team - you."

He pointed at everyone and said.

"It's like this in the club and the national team. Without you, I would have accomplished nothing alone. So I'm very happy, I'm especially happy that I have a great team, both in the club and in the national team. Each of you is amazing and great."

"After my injury was confirmed, some people said that I would miss at least two World Cup games, or even three - that would make me miss all World Cup games. This sentence means that we can't enter the knockout round and we will go home after the group stage. But I don't agree with this statement. From the beginning, I believed that I could definitely play in the World Cup. After discussing with Coach Lippi, I decided to join the team to participate in the World Cup. Not as an extra-staff player, but one of the twenty-three people. Because I believe you, my teammates, you are the best teammates in the world. Just as Coach Lippi said, we are very strong, we are very strong, and we are far stronger than everyone else thinks!"

Zhou Yi's words finally fell into trust in the team, and the heavy responsibilities in the locker room were filled with excitement.

Zhou Yi is the best among them and the top player in the Chinese team. He trusts them so much that the players of these national teams have a sense of satisfaction and responsibility needed by powerful people.

Zhou Yi must not be disappointed!

Zhou Yi pointed to the number of his jersey and said to them: "I am No. 23, I am the last number in the team, of course I have to be behind you to play. So you are tired and help me open the way."

"Damn! This is so insulting!" Sun Pan shouted. "Isn't this the fuck we should do?"

"Yes, Zhou Yi, you are too polite. This is what we should do! We have to do what we do!"

"We used to rely on you, Zhou Yi, this has been like this since the Asian Cup... It's our turn to help you once this time. We can't always let us take advantage of you, right?"

"Yes, yes, this time you will be relieved and don't rush to come back. We promise not to disappoint you!"

"How can you make your trip to Brazil in vain?"

Everyone agreed.

Seeing this scene in the locker room, Lippi turned her head and blinked at her assistant.

The assistant replied to him with a smile.

"Can play a core role even if you don't play - On how to use the Zhouyi correctly"
