After the Chinese team failed to score any more goals in consecutive attacks, they also slowed down their pace.
After all, they don't have enough physical strength to support them playing like this all the time.
In the seven games of the World Cup, none of the players were in full physical condition until the end, and almost all started with fatigue and debuff.
Now it's almost seventy minutes, and we've reached a bottleneck.
If we don't slow down the pace and keep playing like this, the Chinese team may collapse completely.
After a series of passes, the Chinese team's offensive finally broke into Argentina's 30-meter zone.
Chen Xingyi is in the midfield position on the left, ready to sprint forward.
He saw Brother Huan taking the ball.
However, Brother Huan did not pass the ball directly to him, but passed it to Luo Kai.
The Chinese team's attack shifted to the right.
Chen Xingyi moved from the side to the center, while paying close attention to the game situation at the far end, ready to intervene and participate in the attack at any time.
Luo Kai dribbled the ball from the wing and cut inside, trying to hit the wall with Zhou Zijing.
As a result, Zhou Zijing made a mistake when he responded to Luo Kai. He failed to pass the ball accurately to Luo Kai's feet, but was intercepted by Argentine midfielder De La Vega who was close to Luo Kai.
Seeing that the ball was lost, Chen Xingyi immediately turned around and ran back without saying a word - he had to be wary of Argentina passing the ball to Melli, so he had to entangle Melli as soon as possible.
However, he had just taken a few steps back. When he turned around, he found that Luo Kai had snatched the ball back and passed it to Xia Xiaoyu in the middle.
So Chen Xingyi stopped again, turned around and turned back.
Xia Xiaoyu chose to pass the ball straight to the left rib, but the ball was not passed to Chen Xingyi because he was not in place at all.
This ball was aimed at Hu Lai who hit the ribs diagonally.
Running towards the ball's landing spot with Jule were Argentinian center back Peralta and full back Osqui.
Chen Xingyi buried his head and rushed forward to meet Hu Lai.
Sure enough, Hulay, who was double-teamed by Peralta and Osqui, was unable to complete the shot from a very small angle.
At this time he must get the ball out.
If Chen Xingyi did not move into position when Hu Lai distributed the ball, the Chinese team's attack would have risked failure.
So Chen Xingyi must arrive in time.
When he ran to the receiving position, Hu Lai's ball was also passed over.
Chen Xingyi, who had just caught the ball, faced Osqui who turned over and rushed back. Instead of passing the opponent resolutely like before, he chose to pass the football back to Zhang Qinghuan.
Zhang Qinghuan passed the football laterally, and finally Xia Xiaoyu, who stepped in from behind, took a long shot.
The football slides out.
When Chen Xingyi saw this scene, he let out a long sigh, then turned around and ran back slowly.
Meili saw Chen Xingyi in front and narrowed her eyes.
He guessed that the reason why Chen Xingyi did not choose to fight Osqui one on one just now was because he wanted to save energy.
At this point in the competition, everyone's physical fitness was about to reach a bottleneck, but Chen Xingyi's bottleneck came faster and earlier than others.
He remembered the coach's request to him: don't return to defense.
Chen Xingyi definitely has no such request, he must return to defense.
This will greatly increase his physical exertion.
On the left wing of the Chinese team, there is Chen Xingyi, who is in poor physical condition, and center back Cai Shuyi, who is carrying a yellow card.
Obviously, this is Argentina's main attack direction.
※※※
Facing the ball being passed and Chen Xingyi following the ball, Melly gently pushed the football to the left with the outside instep of his left foot. At the same time, he jumped up, trying to avoid Chen Xingyi, and then after receiving the ball, he moved toward the center.
go.
But Chen Xingyi reached out and grabbed Melli's jersey.
Meili kicked the ground hard, but she didn't break free.
Fortunately, the referee's whistle sounded, calling Chen Xingyi a foul.
Meili turned to look at Chen Xingyi, who was breathing heavily and slowly retreating, and said to Sosa who was coming up: "Send it to me quickly."
After saying that, he walked forward.
Sosa symbolically placed the football, and before even getting up, he used the outside instep of his right foot to bounce the football in front of Melli!
And Melli started to accelerate at the same time, chasing the football!
Chen Xingyi, who was retreating, immediately turned around and chased after him!
As soon as he caught up with Melli, the latter made an emergency stop, stopped the football with the outside of his left foot, and turned inside.
Chen Xingyi could only stop suddenly and turn around to follow him.
As soon as he turned around, Melli's left foot was buckled back by the football, changing direction again!
Chen Xingyi tried to stop and turn this time, but it was too late. He staggered back, waving his arms, trying to maintain balance.
But in the end it was all in vain and he sat down on the ground.
We can only watch as Melli cuts into the penalty area!
Chinese fans screamed and booed in panic in the stands of the Workers' Stadium.
At the same time, there were cheers from Argentine fans.
Cai Shuyi came up to defend, but without any fake moves, Melli cut inside and squeezed in.
He bullied Cai Shuyi because he had a yellow card and didn't dare to make any big moves.
Sure enough, Cai Shuyi could only raise his hands and did not dare to stretch his legs, but Meili successfully squeezed him past!
"Merry! Here we go again!!"
"Danger! Be careful!"
The cheers of the Argentinian fans and the screams of the Chinese fans were mixed together, and they were indistinguishable from each other.
Because when he squeezed in, the shooting angle was already very small. Melly did not shoot directly, he chose to cross!
A low kick swept towards the center!
Anyone who touches it may change direction and fly into the goal, which can make the defenders throw shots...
Grazzini and Wang Guangwei, who had taken the lead, fought together. They stretched their feet at the same time, but neither of them touched the ball.
The football passed in front of their feet!
Qin Qi carried Farias to protect the football.
Unexpectedly, the latter suddenly came around and wanted to shoot!
Qin Qi quickly took a step sideways!
Although Farias kicked the ball, he also tackled Qin Qi from behind...
Qin Qi screamed miserably and fell to the ground holding his feet.
The football was kicked into the goal by Farias!
Lin Zhiyuan turned over and came back to save the ball, but it was too late...
He can only watch the football go in!
"Farias!!GOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!!"
The Argentinian commentator shouted to the sky with excitement.
"Oh, this ball! Oh!" He Feng held his head in his hands, as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
After scoring the goal, Farias got up and ran to celebrate - he scored twice in the World Cup final! He did what neither Hu nor Melli could do!
Farias, who was ecstatic inside, didn't even look back at the referee's gesture and just celebrated.
When he ran to the corner flag area and turned around to find that few teammates were following him, he realized something was wrong...
The referee was running towards him, and many of his Argentine teammates were surrounding him.
Judging from their expressions, this is definitely not celebrating a goal...
In the commentary box, He Feng had come back to life and roared: "The referee should have ruled that Farias was guilty of a tackle from behind before shooting! Not only was the goal invalid, he also had to get a yellow card!"
Sure enough, the referee ran to Farias and said to him: "Tackle from behind, this is a foul!"
After saying that, he showed him the yellow card in his hand.
Farias stared blankly at the scene in front of him. The ups and downs in life came so fast and steep that he had not yet reacted...
※※※
From the moment when Melli changed directions and knocked down Chen Xingyi and broke into the penalty area, until Farias scored, the Chinese fans watching the game had nervous expressions on their faces, looking at the projection screen and grinning from ear to ear.
The BBQ ordered earlier had cooled down and no one took a few bites.
When Farias scored and was disallowed, their hearts felt like they were on a roller coaster.
It was only now that they were surviving the disaster and thought of taking a sip of the beer that was no longer so cold and a bite of the already cold barbecue to calm down their shock.
Then we discussed Argentina’s attack just now:
"What a close call! Fortunately, Farias committed a foul! Otherwise..."
"Qin Qi is also very smart. He took an extra step and put the football under his control again. Otherwise, it would be hard to say!"
"I hope Xiao Qi won't be injured...it was quite painful to see the expression on his face just now when he was covering his feet."
The live TV broadcast replayed the slow motion of Farias' shot just now.
It can be clearly seen that Qin Qi protected the ball, and Farias forced his foot to shoot from behind. So when he kicked the ball, he also tackled Qin Qi.
So there is nothing wrong with the referee's decision.
In the minds of the fans of both teams, the referee of this game kept switching back and forth between the "black whistle" and the "famous whistle"...
After replaying the controversial slow motion, the director cut to another slow motion:
It was the scene where Meili's continuous changes of direction shook Chen Xingyi several steps back and landed him on his butt.
Seeing this scene, the Chinese fans sighed:
"Oh my god! Meili's continuous changes of direction are really domineering!"
"These few changes of direction are really bullying!"
"Fuck! I feel like the scene where Meili changed directions continuously and knocked down Chen Xingyi will be labeled as a 'criminal stunt' and become a famous scene..."
"Chen Xingyi has no physical strength. Otherwise, why would he be in such a mess?"
"It's only been seventy minutes, why do you have no energy?"
"Brother, old man, listen to what you said, it's only seventy minutes... Seventy minutes is a huge hurdle for your physical strength!"
"That's right. Originally, everyone's physical fitness was not enough for the World Cup. In this game, Chen Xingyi not only has to attack, but also defend against Melli. It's strange that he can't use his physical fitness!"
"Chen Xingyi must hold on!"
※※※
The scene where Chen Xingyi was embarrassed was played repeatedly on the big screen at the scene.
Of course, this is not the director's intention to embarrass Chen Xingyi, the real purpose is to show Meili's wonderful extraordinary moments.
But in the eyes of Chinese fans, this is tantamount to a "public execution" of Chen Xingyi.
Chen Hantang and his wife Zhuang Jianhong did not watch the big screen, but kept staring at their son on the field.
From a distance, there seems to be nothing unusual about my son who has climbed up from the ground.
"It shouldn't be affected at all..."
Finally, Chen Hantang said to himself.
Zhuang Jianhong also nodded in agreement: "Yes."
This is not so much the result they observed, but rather the result they hoped for.
In the process of continuously defending Meili just now, Chen Xingyi showed signs of being unable to do what he wanted.
The couple worried that their son would be replaced early because of this.
Although Chen Xingyi scored a goal in this game and performed very well, there should be no regrets even if he was replaced early.
But both Chen Hantang and Zhuang Jianhong are still a little reluctant - in such an important final, who doesn't want their children to stay on the court longer?
Even if Chen Xingyi's physical strength has obviously declined, they can't help but look forward to what outstanding performance their son can perform.
Let alone scoring a goal, what if there is another assist?
With one goal and one assist, the whole audience was like "Kerry"!
Now the two sides are tied at 2:2, and the game time is getting shorter and shorter. If either side scores a goal, it is basically a sure win...
At such a critical moment, why would you let your child just be a spectator on the bench?
They believe that their children will not want to end early, but will fight for victory until the last minute!
