In the first half, the Chinese team kept attacking Colombia's goal, and then Colombia's goalkeeper Ospina made various wonderful saves to ensure that the goal was not lost.

It was not until the last moment of the first half that the Chinese team's offensive slowed down and Colombia also gained the opportunity.

In the 38th minute, Zheng Zhi raised his foot too high while defending in front of the penalty area. The referee judged him to a foul and gave Colombia a free kick opportunity at the forefront of the Chinese team's penalty area.

Guarin and James Rodriguez both stood in front of the football. Both of them had the ability to give free kicks, but the way they took the penalty was completely different.

When the referee blew the whistle, Guarin took the lead in running towards the football. He made a stance to hit the goal vigorously, but when he was about to arrive before the football, he ran to the other side, and then James Rodriguez followed up with the left-footed arc shot!

Football bypassed the Chinese team's wall and rushed straight to the Chinese team's goal.

Sun Pan, who was relatively idle in the first half, finally got an opportunity to show himself. He jumped in the air, stretched his body, blocked it, and gave Colombia a corner kick.

"Sun Pan! His attention is very focused! The Chinese team had the advantage in offense before. In this case, what I was most worried about was that the goal would be inattentive, and when faced with the sudden ball, there would be a misjudgment... Fortunately, Sun Pan did not... "

This was Colombia's last threatening opportunity in the first half.

Not long after, referee Velasco blew the whistle at the end of the first half, and the Chinese team maintained a goal lead and entered the locker room.

Perhaps there will be Chinese fans who feel sorry and worried about the Chinese team's offensive, but only scored one goal, but in Lippi's opinion, this score is completely acceptable. The most important thing is that this score will not make the players lose their vigilance and motivation. It has advantages and will not only make the players underestimate the enemy in the next game.

After returning to the locker room, Lippi did not praise the team's performance in the first half, nor did he criticize the team for wasting opportunities in the first half. He directly started tactical arrangements and told everyone how to play in the second half with a 1:0 lead.

Continue to put pressure on Colombia, just like in the first half, Yang Muge will continue to stick to James Rodriguez, not give him the opportunity to send out any wonderful passes, and not give him the opportunity to shoot.

At the same time, pay more attention to Guarin and Cuadrado. In addition to Jamez Rodriguez, they can also create threats to the Chinese team's goal.

On Colombia, coach Peckelman constantly instills confidence in his players, telling them that it is no big deal to fall behind with one goal, and as long as they continue to work hard, they can equalize the score. Once the score is equalized, the situation will become beneficial to Colombia, and the Chinese team will definitely fall into panic. Colombia can completely defeat the Chinese team as long as it is done with one more effort.

Peckelman tried his best to describe this future scene to the players and motivate them. Because Colombia's offense was really lacking in the first half, it was almost completely suppressed by the Chinese team.

While the coaches of both sides made adjustments, on the TV station, the commentators and guests also commented on the first half and looked forward to the second half.

On the one hand, everyone is happy about the performance of the Chinese team in the first half, but on the other hand, they are a little worried, worried that the Chinese team had wasted too many opportunities in the first half. After all, it is really dangerous to lead by one goal now.

As the saying goes, "Leading one goal is the most dangerous score in the world."

The guests offered suggestions for the Chinese team from their own perspectives and predicted Lippi's adjustment in the second half.

But no matter what strategy it is, the key point is that the Chinese team must score goals as soon as possible in the second half and score more goals. The best way is to score two goals in a row at the beginning of the second half, completely shattering Colombia's idea of ​​counterattack.

After a fifteen-minute halftime break, the two sides changed sides and fought again in the second half.

Colombia made adjustments at the beginning of the second half, after all, they were behind.

The forward Gustavo Adrian Ramos, who just announced his joining Dortmund, made a appearance this summer, replaced Ivalvo, and the formation became 442, which is an obvious signal to strengthen the offense.

After the start of the second half, Colombia's offensive strengthened. Colombia, which is already behind, actually has no way out now. It is better to give it a try. There are several high probability that it can equalize the score.

So in the second half, Colombia's offensive was very fierce, and they fought against the Chinese team.

In the 50th minute, Zhou Yi tried to break through when he got the ball in the frontcourt, but was knocked to the ground by Almero. The referee awarded the Chinese team a free kick. Zhang Linpeng pretended to be coming to play the free kick, but when he ran to the football, he suddenly stepped on the football side. Zhou Yi, who followed, directly passed the football to the middle of the penalty area. Colombia's defender Zapata pushed the football out of the baseline when competing with He Ying. This should be a corner kick, but the referee signaled Colombia to serve the goal.

The Chinese players protested, but soon stopped getting involved in this matter.

Colombia's first shot in the second half came in the 59th minute. At that time, James Rodriguez made a pass before Yang Muge robbed. Guarin got rid of it in the penalty area and directly shot with his left foot, but he hit high.

In the 64th minute, Gao Lin made a cross from the left, and Ospina attacked and hit the football, but after the football flew out, it was still under the control of the Chinese team.

Zhou Yi made a straight pass outside the penalty area. He Ying was interfered by Zuniga when he shot. He had no direct shot and the football hit the side net.

In the 66th minute, Colombia won a free kick in the frontcourt, and James Rodriguez hung the football into the penalty area, causing a mess in the Chinese team's penalty area. In the melee, Jepez shot and the football flew towards the goal.

It was Sun Pan, who performed well, and he held the football out of the crossbar with one hand!

"Sun Pan made another wonderful save! When Yepas shot, the football flew over to the back point. I believe many Chinese fans were heartbroken!"

The Colombian fans in the stands began to rise sharply because the team's current performance gave them hope to equalize the score and even win the game.

Amid their cheers, James Rodriguez ran to play this corner kick. However, after the corner kick was kicked, it did not pose any threat to the Chinese team's goal.

Zapata's header flew high above the bottom line.

The Colombian fans in the stands let out a huge sigh, feeling sorry for Zapata's missed this opportunity.

In the 69th minute, Yan Min dribbled the ball into the rib from the left and was tackled to the ground by James Rodriguez.

He himself was given a yellow card by referee Velasco, and the Chinese team also received a free kick in front of the Colombian penalty area.

This free kick is very good and can be shot directly. The distance is more than 30 meters, not too far, and it is very suitable for exerting force. Don't worry about the distance being too short. After the football goes up, it will fly out of the bottom line without falling.

Zhou Yi and Zheng Zhi both stood in front of the football, and the two were discussing.

"Don't shoot this ball directly..." Zhou Yi said to Zheng Zhi.

"What?" Zheng Zhi asked.

"Come on some changes. Haven't we practiced free kick tactics before?"

"Oh, yes..." Zheng Zhi remembered, and nodded in agreement. "What kind of tactic is used?"

"No. 3."

"No. 3..." Zheng Zhi thought for a while, recalled in his mind what the No. 3 free kick tactics were. Then he looked at the current situation and felt that it was indeed very suitable for the No. 3 tactics, so he nodded in agreement.

After the exchange, Zhou Yi retreated and walked to the penalty area line, leaving only Zheng Zhi in front of the football.

Zhou Yi, who walked to the front of the penalty area, shouted to his teammates in the penalty area: "Everyone pay attention, the No. 3 free kick tactics!"

He didn't make any gestures and secret codes, and just shouted it openly, just to bully no one in the Colombian team who could understand Chinese.

Chinese players can communicate directly on the court without any concealment.

Just like when Zhou Yi was communicating with Zheng Zhi just now, he neither avoided the Colombian players around him nor covered his mouth with his hands.

The other party didn't understand at all. Even if he shouted like this, the Colombian player was confused and didn't know what he said.

As soon as they heard the No. 3 free kick tactics, the Chinese players in the penalty area thought of the offensive free kick routines they practiced in training.
