Amidst huge cheers, Kamara stepped forward with the football under his feet, then jumped up quickly, narrowly avoiding Kabangka's shoveling foot.
His steps were still a little staggering when he landed, but with his excellent core strength, he quickly adjusted his center of gravity while running and did not fall to the ground.
Then facing the Brazilian left-back Rafael Fonseca who rushed forward, he crossed his right ankle and pushed the football forward slightly.
The football jumped between Fonseca's legs!
The cheers in the stands got louder.
The commentators also shouted: "Beautiful!"
"nice shot!"
"Kamala!"
Kamara, who passed through Fonseca's crotch, broke into the Brazilian team's penalty area.
At the same time, the Brazilian center back Tavares Cao came diagonally from the center and pressed on Camara with thunderous momentum.
Facing the aggressive Kao, Kamara's outside instep of his right foot pushed the football away.
However, this kick was a bit large, but it was also because it was the only way he could completely avoid Kao.
Then Kamara raised his right leg again and shot directly!
The football flew past the fingertips of Brazilian goalkeeper Victor Lemos and flew straight towards the goal!
Then it grazed the inside of the near goal post and flew in!
"Kamara -!! Kamara!! Well done! He equalized the score for the French team! It really depends on Kamara at the critical moment! After four years of training, he has now become the French team's star
Core! Lead this team to take revenge on Brazil!"

When Ismail Kamara opened his eyes, he saw the familiar ceiling pattern.
Yes, this was indeed the hotel where he stayed for four days.
After looking at the ceiling and waking up for a while, Kamala's brain regained some thinking ability - so it was just a dream...
No.
Not a dream.
Because I did score a goal against Brazil.
So the scene just now was not a fantasy in my mind, but something that actually happened... right?
Thinking of this, he turned over and tried to get the mobile phone on the bedside table.
At this moment, he felt a pain coming from below, causing him to stop.
He raised his body slightly and glanced down.
I saw the white bandage on my left thigh.
"you're awake?"
Ismail Kamara followed the sound and looked over.
He saw his roommate Adrian Neri, who was sitting up in the next bed.
"How do you feel there?" Seeing that Kamala didn't answer him, Neri asked, pointing to his left thigh.
"It still hurts a little..." Kamala lowered her head and replied.
His brain finally woke up completely.
What followed was huge disappointment and pain - it turned out that it was really not a dream!
We lost to Brazil yesterday. Although I scored a goal in the game and helped the team equalize the score, I was injured because of it. I was helpless in the face of the final defeat. I could only watch from the sidelines...
Kamala felt empty inside.
He really hoped that this was really just a dream. He would rather not score a goal against Brazil in exchange for a real world where the game hadn't even started yet.
This way he and the French team can start over and reverse the future.
※※※
"Kamara——!! Good goal! What a beautiful goal! He once again showed his super personal ability! In the 65th minute, his goal helped the French team equalize the score! The two teams are back
On the same starting line!”
The stadium was filled with cheers from French fans and praise from commentators.
However, Kamara, who scored the goal, did not celebrate the goal. Instead, he limped for two steps and then sat down with a painful expression on his face.
This made the French players who rushed to celebrate also slow down in surprise.
The commentators who were cheering changed their words one after another: "Ah? Kamala's situation... is terrible, he may be injured!"
"When was Kamara injured? Was it the shot?"
"Although he scored a goal, it seems that Kamara strained his thigh muscle..."
A slow motion replay of Kamara's actions when he scored just now revealed that after he pushed the football away with his right foot, he actually moved it a little too far. In order to make a shot, he had to take a long stride to catch up.
It was this big step that strained his left thigh muscle that was behind him...
"Kao's defense was actually very good and did not give Kamara too much space to shoot. So in order to create a shooting space, Kamara moved too much, which strained his muscles..."
"Alas! I don't know if Kamara can continue to play. If he can't continue to play, it will definitely be a heavy blow to the French team! In this World Cup, Kamara, who is the core of the French team, performed very well and scored
Three goals and two assists... At such a critical time, if he is to be replaced, it is hard to say whether the French team can successfully revenge..."
One night has passed since yesterday's game, and you can still see a lot of videos on the Internet about the Chinese team's 6-0 victory over England. The craze of national carnival has not faded yet, and may continue until the semi-finals with Brazil.
Then we will decide whether to continue the party based on the results of the game.
However, the Chinese players are more concerned about the next game, not what is over.
During breakfast, they were all talking about the second quarter-final game that ended last night.
France lost to Brazil on penalties.
Almost all Chinese players are happy with this result.
For example, Chen Xingyi said to Hu Lai: "Although saying this is not very friendly to your French friend, I still think playing Brazil in the semi-finals is better than playing France!"
Wang Guangwei also agreed with Xiao Xingxing's statement: "It is true. Playing against Brazil is more interesting. Playing against France... is just an ordinary semi-final."
Hu Lai did not participate in their discussion, but took out his mobile phone.
He tried to contact Kamala last night but failed.
At that time, Hu Lai guessed that he was too busy with examinations and treatments, so he waited all night before calling Kamala.
※※※
Not long after Kamala got up, she received a call from Hu Lai.
At this time, Kamala remembered that he had received news from Hu Lai yesterday, but at that time he was at the lowest point of his mood and did not want to talk to anyone.
So even though I saw Hu Lai's message, I didn't choose to reply.
Now Hu Lai called directly. Although Kamala was still in a low mood, he still answered the phone - he could not let his good brother down.
"Hey, Ismail, are you up?"
A familiar voice came from the other end of the phone.
I don’t know why, although he was clearly in a low mood and didn’t even want to answer the phone, when he heard Hu Lai’s voice, Kamala’s heartbeat seemed to be much stronger. He even raised his voice and tried to answer Hu Lai in a normal tone.
To hide the fact that you are depressed:
"I've done everything, Hu. I'm resting in bed now."
"How do you feel now?"
"It's okay, it's nothing serious, it's just a muscle strain."
Roommate Adrian Neri, who had just come out of the bathroom, heard Kamala calling in a calm tone. His eyes widened in shock, and the movements of his hands stopped, like a statue.
Standing motionless in the corridor, looking at Kamala.
"Muscle strain? I have an ancestral ointment here to treat strains. Our captain used it. You know, the effect is really good. I asked someone to bring you some..."
Kamara knows the ointment Hulay mentioned. Whenever someone in the Madrid Pirates team has a strain, he will be very enthusiastic about using it.
And it seems...it really works.
After using it, I really recovered very quickly.
However, Kamara rejected Hu Lai's kindness this time: "No, Hu Lai. Anyway, I don't have any games to play next, so I can take a good rest."
Although Kamara's tone was free and easy, Hu Lai could still hear his frustration and unwillingness - what he was thinking about now was not his own health, but that there was no game to play...
His obsession with injuries may be more because the injury caused the French team to be eliminated...
Four years ago, the French team was eliminated by Brazil in the quarter-finals.
At that time, Kamara was not the core of the team and what he could do was limited.
Now, four years later, Kamara is already the well-deserved core of the team and has performed well. If he had not been injured, he might have been able to defeat Brazil and reach the semi-finals...
Standing in Kamala's position, Hu Lai understands this feeling very well.
So he comforted: "Then you take good care of your injuries, and when I return to Madrid, we will have a good time together. In addition, don't forget to watch the World Cup when you return to France and see how I help you take revenge! Let me tell you, Brazil
They are dead this time, even if Jesus comes, he won’t be able to save them, I’m telling you that!”
Kamala was amused by Hulay's last exaggerated statement, and he laughed sincerely.
Nei, who had been secretly observing from the side, felt that the room seemed to have become brighter.
He was very curious about what Hulay said to Kamala to make Kamala laugh so happily.
After finally waiting for Kamala to hang up the phone, he couldn't wait to ask: "What did Hu tell you, Ismail?"
Now Kamala thinks of Hu Lai’s tone and accent when he spoke on the phone, and she still can’t help but laugh:
"He...he said Brazil is dead."
