From the moment Zhang Qinghuan stood next to Qin Lin and listened to his tactics, the Chinese fans in the stands and in front of the TV were already excited.
When the Chinese team encountered difficulties, they missed "Brother Huan" extremely.
Because Brother Huan has skills on his feet!
And as the oldest player in the team, Brother Huan's experience can also provide some help for the Chinese team to cope with the current situation.
When Zhang Qinghuan stood on the sidelines and the fourth official entered the number beside him, the cheers of the Chinese fans in the stands were loud enough to suppress the Argentine fans.
This kind of scene is rare during the period after losing the ball.
He Feng also raised his voice and said excitedly: "Zhang Qinghuan is coming back! Ever since he was injured before the semifinals, there have been endless speculations about whether he can still catch up with this World Cup. Now! When the Chinese team needs him most, he
Standing on the sidelines! And this stadium is of great significance to him! Because this is the Workers' Stadium! It is the place where his career started! It is his 'home' when he was a child! Now, the wanderer who has been away from home for many years has finally returned.
!”
Li Qingqing also said: "Brother Huan has been of great help to the Chinese team after he came on the field. First of all, he has the skills and can control the ball. Secondly, he has experience and can help everyone stabilize the morale of the military at this time! Come on, Brother Huan!"
"
Amid cheers, the fourth official finally finished inputting the numbers to be replaced and those to be replaced.
At this time, we are waiting for the game to enter the dead ball stage.
But the Argentine players do not want the game to go at a pace that is beneficial to the Chinese team.
During this period, the ball happened to be at their feet, so they were not in a hurry to attack forward, and just moved back and forth in the midfield and backcourt. They took advantage of their good skills and flexible movement to mobilize the Chinese team.
If the Chinese team players want to regain the ball or create dead ball opportunities, they will be mobilized by the Argentine team.
As a result, their defense may have problems, and Argentina may be able to seize the opportunity again...
When the Argentine players were not active on their side, Shi Wanqing took the time to look towards the sidelines.
Although the fourth official hasn't raised the substitution sign yet, he can guess that if Brother Huan wants to play, he will definitely be replaced.
After all, if the national team plays 352, the original main midfielder lineup will be Brother Ou, Brother Xiaoyu and Brother Huan.
He is positioned as Ou Ge's substitute.
In any game, if Shi Wanqing had to be substituted early, he would not accept it comfortably.
But this was the World Cup final, and he knew that Coach Qin was forced to make substitutions before the first half of the game was over. The situation had reached a very critical moment. As a member of the team at this time, his only task was
Cooperate well instead of acting out of temper.
The final lasted only 40 minutes, and he didn't complain at all.
He just wanted to make one last contribution to the team before he took off the field.
What if Argentina keeps controlling the ball?
Simple, if there is no chance of a dead ball, we will take the initiative to create a dead ball!
When Luciano Morello received the ball, Shi Wanqing rushed forward.
Morello noticed the aggressive Shi Wanqing, so he passed the football out again to prevent Shi Wanqing from grabbing the ball.
But Shi Wanqing didn't come here for football at all... After Morero passed the football, he knocked down the Argentine offensive midfielder from behind!
Morello screamed, clutching his heels and falling to the ground.
Even though Melli had already received the ball, the referee's whistle also sounded...
The Argentine team's minute-long back-and-forth came to an abrupt end.
Shi Wanqing also received a yellow card for himself because of this foul.
However, Shi Wanqing didn't even look at the referee. He turned around, shook his head, grinned, and walked off the field.
His mission has been accomplished and his World Cup journey has come to an end.
In front of him, the fourth official held up a substitution sign: No. 10 up, No. 17 out.
Behind him, the referee first stopped the Argentine player from taking a quick free kick, and then signaled for a substitution.
He Feng said in an exciting tone: "Shi Wanqing used a foul to win a chance for the Chinese team to make a substitution!"
Li Qingqing nodded in agreement: "Shi Wanqing's last foul is critical and important. The Chinese team needs this substitution opportunity!"
There was a round of applause.
The Chinese fans in the stands used this method to express their gratitude to Shi Wanqing, who was about to leave the field, for his contribution to the team. Although it was Shi Wanqing's mistake that led to the Chinese team's first goal...
Even Zhang Qinghuan, who was standing on the sidelines, was applauding Shi Wanqing.
Amidst the applause, Shi Wanqing, who originally had a crooked smile on his face and looked indifferent, lowered his head.
When he raised his head again, he was biting his lower lip and his eyes were red.
Seeing this scene, He Feng couldn't help but sigh:
"Although at the beginning of the final, due to nervousness, Shi Wanqing's performance was not very good and caused the Chinese team to concede the first goal. But he quickly adjusted his mentality and worked hard in the following games.
...I think these 40 minutes of the World Cup final will remain in Shi Wanqing's memory for a long time! For a 24-year-old young player, he will benefit from this experience for life!"
Li Qingqing also agreed: "Mr. He, you are right. Making mistakes is actually normal. The important thing is the way you deal with mistakes. Shi Wanqing's method can definitely learn something truly valuable from mistakes. I hope Xiao Shi will have a better career path in the future.
The further you go the better!”
※※※
The distance from where Shi Wanqing committed the foul to the sidelines was not long. He quickly walked down and then high-fived Zhang Qinghuan who was waiting for him on the sidelines.
Zhang Qinghuan even gave him a special hug before running onto the court.
Shi Wanqing stood on the sidelines, raised his arms, and applauded the fans in the stands.
Then he walked towards the head coach Qin Lin.
Qin Lin took the initiative to extend his hand to him. Shi Wanqing thought he wanted to shake hands, so he also extended his hand. Unexpectedly, Qin Lin pulled him into his arms and whispered in his ear:
"I've wronged you, Xiaoshi."
The tears that Shi Wanqing had been holding burst into his eyes. He threw himself into the arms of the head coach, choked with sobs and repeated his apology: "I'm sorry, Director Qin... I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."
Qin Lin patted his back: "No need to be sorry, you did a good job."
※※※
"The Chinese team made substitutions before the first half was over! Qin is still very courageous. Facing the powerful Argentina, he removed a defensive midfielder, which will definitely make
The team's defensive strength in the midfield has declined, which can be said to be a very risky approach..."
"There was news that Zhang was injured before the game against Brazil, and he missed the game against Brazil... However, judging from the performance of the Chinese team in the knockout stage, it is difficult to say that Zhang's performance will be of any use to the Chinese team...
Qin’s substitution feels like he was rushed to the hospital due to illness!”
"Facing Argentina's high-position press, Qin plans to increase his ability to control the ball. But it's hard to say whether Zhang, who has just experienced a recurrence of an old injury, can complete the tasks Qin gave him..."
"I think the Chinese team must make substitution adjustments, and Qin knows this very well. But this substitution may not be effective, and Qin also knows it. This should be a very helpless substitution adjustment..."
When Zhang Qinghuan ran onto the court, commentators from various countries in the commentary box made their own comments.
It can be seen that most people are not optimistic about this substitution.
The main reason is that Zhang Qinghuan's condition is really confusing - he played well in the group stage, but in the knockout round, he showed his hips in tough battles. For this reason, he was thrown into the cold palace by the head coach. His old injury relapsed and he was unable to train normally. His age was too high.
The DEBUFF stack is almost full.
Such players have now become the only candidates Qin Lin can choose when he wants to make adjustments.
It seems normal that the whole world is not optimistic about it...
But the Chinese fans in the stands didn't care about that. After Zhang Qinghuan ran onto the field, they gave their "Brother Huan" the warmest cheers and applause.
Everyone is looking forward to Brother Huan being able to bring a breath of fresh air to the Chinese team on the court and blow away the dull air.
Brother Huan’s previous performance was not good?
Brother Huan hasn’t fully recovered from his injury?
It doesn't matter, anyway, the Chinese team, which is two goals behind, has no way out.
The most important thing is that this is the Workers' Stadium, and everyone here loves Zhang Qinghuan!
※※※
After Zhang Qinghuan came on the stage, he changed positions with Xia Xiaoyu and stood closer to the front.
At the same time, he pointed at Meili and shouted to Chen Xingyi: "Brother Lin asked you to take more care of him!"
Chen Xingyi gave Zhang Qinghuan a thumbs up to express receipt.
Then Zhang Qinghuan clapped his hands hard and shouted to his teammates: "Pass the ball! Dare to control the ball! Don't panic! Run and pass! Cheer up! Come on! Our final has just begun!"
!”
After shouting, he gestured and shouted: "Pass the ball to me!"
Upon seeing this, He Feng said: "Zhang Qinghuan kept shouting loudly to his teammates after he came on the field, which should be to boost morale. As the oldest player in the Chinese team, the team needs his experience!"
Hearing what He Feng said, Jiang Yin couldn't help but ask her husband Yan Yan next to her: "Why did the commentator say that? What experience does Brother Huan have? This is also his first time playing in a World Cup final, right?"
Yan Yan was silent for a moment, then shook his head and said: "I don't know either. I guess it may be because Brother Huan has the experience of rising up in desperate situations..."

Shi Wanqing's foul gave the Chinese team an opportunity to make substitutions, but Argentina did not use the free kick to threaten the Chinese team's goal.
Farias' dribbling was intercepted by Luo Kai and Qin Qi.
Then Qin Qi passed the football to Xia Xiaoyu, who had retreated to the midfielder position.
Xia Xiaoyu had just caught the ball when he heard Zhang Qinghuan calling him: "Xiaoyu!"
So Xia Xiaoyu immediately passed the football to Zhang Qinghuan.
Also rushing towards Zhang Qinghuan with the football was Argentine midfielder De La Vega.
He tackled Zhang Qinghuan directly!
He knew that Zhang Qinghuan's old injury had relapsed, so he wanted to use this method to put pressure on Zhang Qinghuan who had just come on the field, arouse his psychological shadow, and give him a blow!
Tell him: This is the World Cup final!
Facing de la Vega's tackle, Zhang Qinghuan took the initiative to meet it and tried to move the football away first.
But de la Vega still made the tackle in time.
The football was poked into his leg by Zhang Qinghuan and then popped out.
Zhang Qinghuan was brought to his feet by de la Vega's tackle, and his body stumbled forward.
When he fell down, he saw the football bounce down next to him. Zhang Qinghuan supported his body with his hands to prevent him from falling completely. He immediately got up from the ground and continued to chase the football.
De la Vega turned around and saw that Zhang Qinghuan didn't give up. He quickly got up from the ground and chased after him.
Then when Zhang Qinghuan was about to control the football, he shoveled it from the side and back again!
But this time he neither tackled the football nor anyone.
Because the moment Zhang Qinghuan tackled the ball, he pushed the football behind him and at the same time stopped and turned around, allowing de la Vega's sweeping kick to miss!
But it’s not over yet!
How could Argentina's high frontcourt pressure end so easily?
As soon as Zhang Qinghuan dodged de la Vega's tackle, another Argentinian player, offensive midfielder Luciano Morello, rushed in front of him.
Zhang Qinghuan flicked the football with the outside instep of his left foot, and the ball went under Morero's crotch!
"Wow! The crotch wear is amazing! Beautiful!" He Feng shouted excitedly in the commentary box.
But it's still not over. The third Argentine player, Farias, has already arrived and is trying to destroy the ball first.
Zhang Qinghuan also gave Farias a "fried meatball"!
At this time, the cheers of the Chinese fans in the stands were almost like thunder!
Zhang Qinghuan, who passed Farias, passed the football back to Qin Qi. Although it seemed that after going around in a circle, the Chinese team failed to push the football forward and hit it back near its own penalty area.
But everyone who knows football knows the significance of Zhang Qinghuan's series of operations just now.
Li Qingqing said excitedly: "This is why Brother Huan is asked to come up! His skills can stabilize the morale of the army!"
Commentator He Feng was cheering and exclaiming: "Zhang Qinghuan! Oh, beautiful! Beautiful! Zhang Qinghuan used a series of dazzling skills to successfully pull the football out of the double-team of three people! This is his game
It was my first touch of the ball in the game! I couldn’t tell the unfamiliarity and discomfort of playing in the middle of the game! Sure enough, when I returned to my own home, I felt comfortable everywhere!”
In front of the TV, Zhang Qinghuan's mother, Ren Changmei, waved her fist excitedly: "Well done! Qinghuan! Just kick them like this!"
Sun Juan was stroking her belly with one hand, and clenching her fist with the other hand: "Baby, cheer for your daddy!"
※※※
Zhang Qinghuan's performance seemed to have rekindled the enthusiasm of the Chinese fans at the Workers' Stadium, and the cheers continued throughout the stadium.
This happened for the first time after the Chinese team conceded the second goal.
Listening to such cheers, Qin Lin suddenly said to the assistant coach Ding Gaoyi beside him: "I made a big mistake. I should have let Qing Huan play earlier... If we replaced Qing Huan after conceding the first goal,
Maybe the situation is completely different..."
Ding Gaoyi comforted him: "You can't say that your initial choice was wrong. It was just bad luck and you didn't score. If Hu Lai had scored with that shot, the situation would definitely be different from now."
"No..." Qin Lin shook his head and refused the comfort from his partner, "This is my biggest mistake, Old Ding. I can't always put my thoughts and ideas on solving problems on luck. I just hope now
One thing - it’s not too late to make amends.”
