After the game started again, the Japanese team finally stopped pressing in the frontcourt and they retreated.

However, the Chinese fans in front of the TV did not breathe a sigh of relief, but instead felt a little regretful - they were always worried that the Japanese team would use the frontcourt to grab a siege and score another goal, but now they regret that the Chinese team has no chance to counterattack.

After the Chinese team scored a goal, they also saw the so-called "find wealth and wealth in danger". It seems scary for the Japanese team to grab this game, but it often contains opportunities for scoring for the Chinese team.

After the game started again, Zhou Yi led the Chinese team to strengthen the offensive, pressing the Japanese team's penalty area, and constantly bombing.

Under the fierce attack of the Chinese team, the Japanese team could only shrink their defense and looked a little embarrassed.

This is very satisfying in the eyes of many Chinese fans.

But Zhou Yi was different from what they thought. He didn't just want a relief, he wanted a real goal!

He hopes to give the team a one-goal lead before the end of the first half.

The reason he was so anxious was that after the second half, the two sides would change sides and fight again. The Chinese team would switch to the current half of the Japanese team. By then, in addition to the Japanese team, the Chinese team's enemies would also have the sun in the sky.

Look at the current weather, the sky is clear and the sun is shining. I can’t see any possibility of a major change in the weather and dark clouds in a short period of time...

The second half is not easy for the Chinese team...

So he urged the Chinese team to suppress the Japanese team and bombard the Japanese team, but unfortunately, the Japanese team's defense was still quite stable.

When the referee blew the whistle at the end of the first half, the score was temporarily frozen at 1:1.

Although they were unable to score another goal, the Chinese players looked very relaxed when they left the court. After all, they were behind and tied again. It was great not to enter the halftime break without going behind.

Only Zhou Yi is an exception.

When the camera gave him a close-up shot, Zhou Yi frowned slightly on the screen, which was different from the relaxed and pleasant teammates around him.

He was not satisfied with the result.

During the halftime break, Japanese team's head coach Takashi Kanzuka was re-adjusting the team's tactics.

From pressing in the backcourt of the Chinese team in the first half to pressing in their own half. They are all pressing, but after different positions, you can avoid the gap in the back line of blockbusters.

At the same time, it can still ensure the pressing intensity of the Chinese team.

After making adjustments, he still needs to rebuild the team's confidence.

"...The score is just a draw now, it's not a big deal! As long as we continue to put pressure on them in the second half, we can definitely turn the situation around! At the beginning of the second half, we have to fight for attack and catch them off guard. If we can score a goal as soon as possible, it would be even better!"

Why did Takashi Kosawa emphasize trying to score as soon as possible at the beginning of the second half?

Because he is very clear about the shortcomings of his tactics.

There is no tactic in this world that absolutely has no shortcomings, so although the Japanese team's scramble to siege did put the Chinese team in trouble in the first half, this tactic is not omnipotent. Its disadvantage is that it consumes too much physical energy.

Such tactics require players to keep running and grabbing, which is a huge burden on physical fitness. Japanese players are not good at physical fitness. In their daily training, physical fitness training is not the most important thing, which is different from Korean teams.

Therefore, the Japanese team's physical fitness is not outstanding, and it is impossible to support such tactics throughout the game.

Over time, the physical fitness of Japanese players will inevitably decline quickly. If they use general tactics, they may be able to ensure that they can fully play the ninety-minute game. However, with the current active pressing tactics, their current physical fitness may only be able to last for seventy minutes and be exhausted.

If the Japanese team cannot take the lead before seventy minutes, they will face a series of problems caused by very serious physical inadequacy. Modern football is based on running, and without this foundation, nothing else can be discussed.

The Japanese team, which has lost its ability to run, will be completely crushed by the Chinese team on the scene. At that time, their situation will be very difficult and they may not be able to save the draw.

This result can only be changed after the Japanese team scores the goal as soon as possible and regains the lead. If the Japanese team can lead again this time, Takashi Katsukazuka will adjust the team's tactics as soon as possible, let the team recover appropriately, and use the Japanese team's strong strength in the midfield to deal with the Chinese team. As long as the lead of this goal can be maintained, they can win the gold medal.

At the same time, in the Chinese team's locker room, Brazevic is warning his players to be more patient in the second half.

The starting point of his doing this is naturally because the Japanese team's siege tactic cannot continue.

"...As long as we can not concede the ball before the 70th minute, the Japanese team will not have any threat. If they can't kill us, they should be killed by us." Jiang Xiaojun translated Brazevic's words and said vividly.

When you have a chance to score, you have to invest in the offense, but what if you don’t have a good chance? Then don’t make a quick move, play safely. Brazevic is worried that Japan’s special opponent will make Chinese players’ adrenaline soar and lose their minds.

Fortunately, there is also Zhou Yi.

So Brazevic pointed at Zhou Yi and told the players of the team: "When you don't know what to do on the court, listen to Zhou Yi!"

※※※

When he was about to leave the locker room and was about to appear, Zhou Yi suddenly asked Sun Pan: "Did you come wearing a hat?"

Sun Pan was very surprised: "No, I don't like wearing a hat, it will crush my hairstyle."

"Your messy hair still has a hairstyle?" Zhou Yi grinned.

"I want to tell you that this random hair is specially designed. Do you believe it?" Sun Pan was very proud, "This is art, you don't understand!"

Zhou Yi was too lazy to argue with him, so he simply asked his teammates: "Who has come to the court with a hat? Both the baseball cap and the baseball cap should be fine, and there should be a brim."

Everyone looked at each other, not understanding why Zhou Yi suddenly asked this.

Seeing that no one stood up and said he had it, Zhou Yi frowned.

At this time, the team leader Guo Bing also noticed Zhou Yi's request. He came up to ask Zhou Yi: "Why are you thinking about getting a hat? Could it be that you are still playing football with a hat, Zhou Yi?"

Zhou Yi shook his head: "It's not for me, it's for Panpan."

Sun Pan was very surprised: "Me? I don't wear a hat to guard the gate, which will affect my vision!"

Indeed, there is an extra block above the eyes. If you want to see that area, you have to lift your head, which is equivalent to an extra procedure, which will naturally affect your vision.

"But you'd better wear this game." Zhou Yi said.

"Why?" Sun Pan was puzzled.

"Because of the light," Zhou Yi said. Seeing that Sun Pan still couldn't understand, he simply said, "You will know when you come on stage later. Forget it without a hat, Pan Pan, you can overcome it yourself."

After saying that, he walked out of the locker room, and the other teammates followed him in confusion and came out one after another.

Sun Pan shrugged, followed him out with a shaking head.

Everyone didn't understand why Zhou Yi suddenly mentioned hats and light, but when they passed through the player's passage and stepped onto the stadium, everyone understood instantly - the bright sunlight in the afternoon was projected into the half-court. Due to the strong reflection, the green turf almost turned white. And this stadium was the area where they were in the second half...

After everyone takes the field, they look at the Japanese team at halftime and find that they are covered in white and they can't see the Japanese team's goal clearly. A large amount of sunshine comes into view, almost blinding!

"Damn!" Sun Pan stood in front of the door, and then he understood why Zhou Yi asked him to wear a hat...

But he didn't have a hat, so he could only build a pergola with his hands, which made him feel a little better.

But he is a goalkeeper, he can't always use one hand to set up a pergola to guard the goal, right? Facing the opponent's shot, he can only save it with one hand. No matter how awesome he is, he can't be the one-armed hero guarding the goal...

Guo Bing, the team leader on the sidelines, also realized the seriousness of the problem.

The second half of the game started at 4:05 pm local time, and the sun was slanted westward, just in the air opposite the Chinese team's halftime.

If the football flies into the air, it will be like it suddenly emerges from the sun. When the Chinese players can see clearly, the football is already close at hand and there is almost no time left for them to react. This is a very important impact on the performance of the players.

After the players from both sides set to stand on the court, the second half began and the Japanese team kicked off.

As soon as they kicked off, they launched a fierce offensive to the Chinese team's goal, which was completely different from their contraction performance before the end of the first half. It was as if after the halftime break, the entire Japanese team was resurrected in full health...

After some pass, the football hit the side.

The right back guard Hiroki Sakai who was inserted in the back received a pass from his teammate and made a pass directly. The football drew an arc and flew towards the Chinese team's goal!

This is a very ordinary cross, and it is not particularly exciting or outstanding.

But when Sun Pan looked up and stared at the ball, his face was blurred by the dazzling sunlight... For a moment, he even became blind.

When he regained his vision, someone jumped in the air to block part of the sun. Unfortunately, the person jumped in the air was not the defender of the Chinese National Olympic Team, but the forward of the Japanese team Kenyu Nagai!

"Naoi!" the Japanese narrator shouted excitedly.

He jumped high in the air, and the Chinese defender Guo Nu was obviously slowing down by half a beat. When he jumped up, he was completely pressed by the opponent. Because Guo Nu was disturbed by the sun while defending...

"Dangerous! The Japanese team's header!" He Ping exclaimed.

With a bang, Kenyou Nagai hit the football and the football flew towards the goal.

When the football flew towards the goal, it was completely impossible to see which side the football flew to. He could only make a save based on his own experience and intuition. He rushed to the right of the goal, but the football flew straight into the middle!

When Sun Pan finally saw the football clearly, there was no time to make any moves. He could only watch the football fly to the goal unwillingly, and Zhou Yi's words popped up in his mind.

Because of the light.

This damn light!

※※※

Watching the football fly towards the goal, many Chinese fans' hearts suddenly stopped at this time. They forgot to breathe and stared at the TV screen in a daze. The time in less than a second was extremely long for them.

Many people were frightened and felt that the ball was sure to enter.

In full view of everyone, the football hit the crossbar!

"Oh! The beam! Kenyou Nagai's header hit the beam! It's so dangerous!" He Ping felt his heart beating wildly. Although he was sitting on a chair, his waist couldn't hold on, and he just wanted to lie on the table...
Chapter completed!
