Chapter 57: The state is very good
"The Chinese team won a corner kick, which was the first corner kick in this game, and Zhou Yi took the penalty... Let's take a look at this ball--Feng Xiaoting!!! The ball has entered!!!"
Accompanied by the passionate yell of commentator Duan Xin, countless Chinese fans jumped out of their seats in front of the TV and cheered.
The Chinese team took the lead after just seven minutes of the game, and this was the first time in this World Cup.
Surprise came too quickly.
In the TV screen, Feng Xiaoting, who scored a goal, ran to the corner flag area on the other side to celebrate the goal, but halfway through the run, he was knocked to the ground by his teammates.
This goal has a very special significance to Feng Xiaoting and the Chinese team.
Because this is the first goal scored by a local league player in this World Cup.
This is even the first goal scored by a Chinese local league player in World Cup history.
He Ying scored goals for the Chinese team before, including Guo Nu and Zhou Yi, who are both players who play in overseas leagues.
Feng Xiaoting is the first player to play in the local league.

The Chinese team took the lead in the seven minutes of the game, which was far beyond the expectations of many people, especially those who thought this game was a close match, and even more beyond the expectations of Colombian fans.
They absolutely did not expect their team to concede the goal in the seven minutes of the game.
While Chinese fans cheered for their team's goals, the Colombian players in the stands were still in a "confused" state.
They did not come back to their senses until the Chinese players finished their celebrations and ran back.
Colombia's head coach Peckelman immediately made an adjustment. He called the players on the sidelines to give face-to-face advice and asked them to stabilize the defense after the game restarts, because the Chinese team will definitely take advantage of their goal to launch a fierce offensive towards the Colombian goal. If Colombia cannot defend, it is likely to collapse in a short period of time.
Peckerman is a famous coach in Argentina. He once coached the Argentine national team and has rich experience. His adjustments at this time are very timely and necessary.
After the game restarted, facing the aggressive offensives of the Chinese team, if Colombia did not shrink its defense, it would be possible to concede the ball again...
In the ninth minute, Zhou Yi made a long shot outside the penalty area and hit a little higher, which scared the Colombian fans into a cold sweat.
In the eleventh minute, Zhang Linpeng made a cross from the right, Gao Lin made the football back from outside the penalty area. He Ying, who followed, paddled the football with his chest and volleyed directly. The football was blocked by Colombia's defender Yepes with his body to get out of the bottom line.
This corner kick almost formed an attack.
During this period, Chinese fans were excited to watch the attack of the Chinese team, and the Chinese fans in front of the TV kept cheering. Of course, they knew why the Chinese team was so aggressive, of course, it was to enter another one.
The Chinese fans in the stands all shouted "The Chinese team entered another one."
The Colombia commentator seemed very anxious, afraid that the Chinese team would score another goal.
Fortunately, Colombia finally pushed the ball and did not concede the ball in a short period of time.
It was not until the fifteenth minute that Colombia counterattacked. They won a long-distance free kick in the Chinese team's half. Guarin took the free kick, and he chose to shoot directly. This long-distance free kick was directly hit by him.
In the 17th minute, Colombia also received a corner kick. The corner kick was kicked by James Rodriguez. After his corner kick was taken, Guo Nu rushed out. As a result, after Guarin's ball outside the penalty area, he swept over Zheng Zhi who was rushing over, and then directly passed the ball from the left side of the penalty area. This time, Feng Xiaoting successfully cleared the ball before Cuadrado.
"Feng Xiaoting! Beautiful clearance! After scoring the goal, Feng Xiaoting is in such a good condition!"
The broadcaster of the World Cup also gave Feng Xiaoting a close-up shot. After this close-up shot, Feng Xiaoting's previous replay of the goal. This time, the whole view was on him, seeing how he ran into the penalty area, how he suddenly threw away his opponent, and then rushed to the goal to hit the ball. Finally, it was the scene where he and his teammates celebrated the goal.

In the 20th minute, the Chinese team launched an attack and hit the front of Colombia's penalty area.
Here, Yan Min passed the ball forward to Zhou Yi in front of him. Zhou Yi was facing away from the attacking direction at the time. He did not choose to pass the ball directly, but gently rubbed the football from Yan Min. This seemed to be a stop-off mistake, because at the front of the penalty area, any stop-off that would increase the adjustment movement would be a failure, which would increase the player's ball control time and give the defensive party a chance to surround him.
However, Zhou Yi was under defensive pressure and bought Yan Min's forward time for him to penetrate. Even if it was only half a second, it was enough for Yan Min to rush to a parallel position with Zhou Yi.
Next, Zhou Yi shook his right ankle and picked up the football he had rubbed up behind him!
Just when no one expected the football, it flew over Zhou Yi's head and the Colombian players who were defending him, flying towards the space behind them!
At the same time, Yan Min came out of the defense line, rushed into the space, and then beautifully removed the football sent by Zhou Yi steadily!
"Beautiful!" Duan Xin slapped. "Imaginative cooperation between hitting the wall!"
After Yan Min received a second pass from Zhou Yi on the left side of the penalty area, he stopped the football and immediately sent out a ball rolling ball.
The football rolled to the middle of the road against the grass.
Gao Lin followed up and received the ball in the middle, then took a kick and shot!
"Gao Lin! Opportunity!"
Amid Duan Xin's roar, Gao Lin's shot was blocked by Colombia's goalkeeper Ospina.
The football he saved bounced and flew out of the penalty area.
Yang Muge appeared here, stopped the football and shot again.
Ospina made another wonderful save, blocking Yang Muge's long shot.
"Ahhhh! What a pity! The Chinese team shot twice in a row, and they were all saved!" Duan Xin shouted regretfully.
In the stands and in front of the TV, many Chinese fans held their heads with their hands, feeling sorry for their team's failure to score.
The Colombian commentator was very anxious: "We were besieged by the Chinese team. If this continues, it will only be a matter of time before the goal is lost, and something must be changed!"
The TV broadcast also pointed the camera at Colombia's head coach Peckelman, who frowned.

When Colombia encountered difficulties, Colombia fans naturally turned their attention to James Rodriguez, the core of their team.
He shines in this World Cup, scoring five goals in four games that have been held, and is currently ranked first in the World Cup scorer list.
However, in this game, Lippi made targeted arrangements for James Rodriguez, and he asked Yang Muge to defend James Rodriguez.
Yang Muge's pervert is very famous.
James Rodriguez was entangled by Yang Muge. From the beginning of the game, there was no performance that could be shown.
For example, just now, after James Rodriguez got the ball, he tried to get rid of Yang Muge's defense, but he swung left and right to make some moves. Yang Muge was still behind him and was not thrown away by him. Instead, he was forced into a dead end in the process and lost a better opportunity to pass the ball. In the end, he had to choose to pass back.
Scenes like this often happen in this game. James Rodriguez, who had previously killed all the people, seemed to have lost all his magic in this game.
※※※
It is difficult for Colombia to organize a decent offense. Because the Chinese team leads, the morale of the whole team is greatly boosted and in good condition. It seems that there will be any difference in playing.
In the 27th minute, Gao Lin pulled to the side to make a cross. Rong Hao cut inside and received the ball, and then shot hard outside the penalty area, and the football went slightly off.
One minute later, after Yang Muge broke the ball under Jamele Rodriguez's feet, the Chinese team quickly organized a counterattack. Yan Min dribbled the ball on the left and then passed the ball in the back triangle. He passed the ball to Zhou Yi in front of the penalty area.
Zhou Yi's football was picked up with his feet!
The football flew over from Colombia defender Zapata. Zapata's center of gravity was very low at the time and it was powerless to block the ball.
Zhou Yi, who had chosen him, walked around him!
"Zhou Yi!! Oh! Beautiful picky balls!"
Zhou Yi, who was walking around, did not stop the ball, but shot directly. This time it was Ospina who saved Colombia's goal and blocked Zhou Yi's shot.
"Ospina! He is the best player in Colombia in the first half!" said neutral commentator Marcel Leif. "If it weren't for his wonderful performance, the Chinese team would probably have led Colombia 4:0 now... The quality of the Chinese team's offensive in this game was really high, and the team played very well in small-scale cooperation. Zhou Yi's personal condition is also excellent, and he has played amazing offensives many times... If this trend continues, the Chinese team may really go further and reach the semi-finals of the World Cup! By then, they will become the opponents of the German team in the World Cup semi-finals!"
