The strange thing about this game is not only the appearance, but also the unexpected number of fouls on both sides.

The first half lasted until the 25th minute. The total number of fouls committed by both sides just broke double. Not a single gem card was issued. Even the number of throw-ins was far lower than the average of this World Cup.

.

Of course there is a special reason here. The Chinese team acted as a moral model on the green field today, showing civility and courtesy that are very in line with the expectations of domestic colons. To put it bluntly, they have sacrificed the "friendship first" that they had long thrown into the Pacific.

, game second” style.

But don't think that this is an illness. You don't have to be black and white, and occasionally you have to do the opposite.

Nowadays, Chinese football is no longer a bully. On the contrary, it has left the world with the impression of never giving up, never being discouraged, never bowing down, and always being difficult to deal with.

Let's put it this way, if any strong team plays against the Chinese team, no matter whether they win or lose, someone will definitely be exhausted and collapse.

This also led to the fact that over time, everyone couldn't help but feel embarrassed after seeing the Chinese team. Who knew that playing against this team would be a cruel test both mentally and physically.

But such a team is also very respected, at least taken seriously by anyone.

Let me ask you about such a respected and valued team. If it plays very cleanly from the beginning, you will never see him kicking from behind, let alone hurting others. Even if you are violated, you will be hurt.

If I try to reason with you with a smile, how will you react?

If you remain such a virgin, then there will naturally be a standard ending of "good people are bullied by others".

But if something like this happens suddenly, even if the French players don't know the saying "don't hit the smiling guy", they will definitely feel guilty in a short time, and there will be fewer flagrant fouls and hurtful actions.

This is enough for the Chinese team. They just want to be friendly and civilized with the French, because this is the only match in the World Cup.

The real intention here is, of course, that after the French become civilized and polite with them, the three referees will not have much room for maneuver.

These referees can't interfere with the smooth rhythm that the audience likes to watch without authorization in a game where they almost never kick from behind, and often take the initiative to pull up the opponent after knocking it down, right?

The French also like this kind of rhythm game. Although they are on the suppressed side, they actually need more brutal defense to suppress the Chinese team.

But at least they won't react to the fact that they were deceived by the Chinese team until they actually fall behind.

It wasn't until the 36th minute of the first half that the French finally tasted the bitter fruit of "friendship first".

This was a turn that made the French regret being so friendly. The cause of the incident was that Platini was kicked to the ground by Chen Haonan and Zhen Aiguo during the French team's attack a minute ago.

After Platini lost the ball, he was naturally worried that the opponent would take the opportunity to counterattack, so he immediately fell to the ground and rolled around, hoping that the referee would call the Chinese team a foul.

But Chen Haonan's kick was very clean, and the French team's retreat was quite timely, so the referee ignored it in the end.

Chen Haonan saw that there was no good opportunity to counterattack, so he simply continued to use the performance of Our Lady to fool the opponent, and kicked the ball into the opponent's half of the audience.

Obviously, this was a handicap that forced French fans to applaud, and it can be called a model of sportsmanship in football.

When Platini saw this, he was naturally embarrassed and stood up immediately. When he was rolling just now, he looked like he had been kicked and seriously injured.

Now that someone was so friendly and kicked the ball out of bounds, if he stood up immediately, wouldn't he be laughed at by the whole world?

If this matter were more serious, he might even be criticized for his character problems, thinking that he used such an unqualified method to block the Chinese team's attack.

If someone really labeled him like this, then even French football would be unable to hold its head high.

So he could only perform the full set and limp to the sidelines to treat his injuries.

At this time, Wu Jie was sure that Platini was pretending to be injured, not only because he had performed similarly, but mainly because his system showed that Platini's status was still 94 at the beginning, which meant that he had no

No shit.

But Platini's outfit forced the French to fight with 10 men in a short period of time, and the Chinese team had to exchange the ball back, otherwise they would still be laughed at by the whole world.

After the Frenchman served in the backcourt, he kicked the ball directly into the Chinese team's half, which was to return the ball to the Chinese team.

After Lin Yaodong got the football in front of the goal, he looked up and looked at it. Without saying anything, he kicked the ball back with his big kick.

But this time it was no longer a friendly concession. Wu Jie won the aerial challenge again and pushed the ball directly to the wing.

Alan Giresse is here to stay. He still had an ability value of about 90 in the last World Cup, but one has to accept his age. This year Giresse is 34 years old. Let alone the football world in the 1980s, even at this age,

After 40 years, few people will still be able to maintain their condition.

The 27-year-old Gu Guangming is in his prime. This contest between the two short players ended with the younger one winning.

Gu Guangming not only used his wide range of rhythm changes to get past Giresse, but also cut into the penalty area after completing the pass, forcing the French team to send someone to cover up the defense.

But the problem is that the French team is already short of one player, and as soon as the penalty area is filled, the air leaks everywhere.

Wu Jie did not force the ball against the double defense, but used his own pull to further collapse the French team's defensive formation.

At this time, Zhao Dayu got the best chance of the day. He received a precise cross pass from his old teammate in the back of the small penalty area.

Chinese forwards at this level do not have the tradition of missing kicks three or four meters in front of the goal. Zhao Dayu rushed to the goal without stopping the ball. He faced the football and pushed it easily, sending the football into the goal just a stone's throw away.

As for the goal, the whole process can be described as "silky".

Zhao Dayu was naturally excited after scoring a goal, but he didn't look too crazy. He laughed and ran towards his old teammate who assisted him.

He knew that 30% of the credit for this goal was attributed to Wu Jie's aerial challenge, and half of it was attributed to Gu Guangming's successful defense breaking and precise passing on the wing. As the scorer, he could only account for 20% at most.

Contribution, because this kind of ball makes it impossible for any striker of the Chinese team to miss.

This is not because Zhao Dayu is not confident, it is already a reflection of his confidence that he did not celebrate wildly.

This can only be said that there is no shortage of good strikers in the current Chinese team. Yang Shuhua has taken his place. Liu Haiguang's level is not inferior to him but he doesn't even have a chance to play. There are also several strikers in the second domestic team who are not worse than him.

, but these people don’t even have the chance to sit on the bench in Mexico.

So if he can miss this kind of free ball, he may not have a chance to join the national team again in the future.

At this moment, a far more classic scene appeared on the sidelines than this goal. I saw Platini who was performing a full set, and when I saw Gu Guangming complete the breakthrough and cut, and even pass the ball into the small penalty area, "pop"

He stood up in an instant, so fast! In his eagerness, he pushed the team doctor who was blocking his view to the side. The key is that the latter fell down before he could stand firmly, which was equivalent to being pushed down by him.

!

This shot was naturally captured by the live broadcast room. Except for the French fans, all the faces turned red. Fans all over the world began to laugh at the French team for losing the ball and embarrassing themselves, especially Platini who pushed the team doctor.

"Chinese basketball has won the World Championship and Olympic Championship with lightning-fast run-and-gun tactics. Now Chinese football seems to have learned the essence of the 'blitz' tactic. Their attack only involved 4 people touching the ball, and in 10 seconds

The goal was scored within a few minutes, which can be called a 'bombardment' on the football field."

"The Indians should be very familiar with the fast break of the Chinese team, but they are faster to change the name of their capital."

"Hahaha, that Italian performed French kickboxing on the sidelines?"

"Look, is the French team doctor wearing a mask of pain?"

"The French are not very good at acting, but they just don't know how to do a complete set of acting!"

"Michelle is not acting. People's physiques cannot be generalized. When I was extremely angry, I shoveled a kangaroo away with my broken legs!"

"..."

Platini was indeed very angry at this moment, but there was nothing wrong with the Chinese team's goal. Even the French couldn't say "sneak attack".

They launched an attack from the front of their own penalty area, and this goal couldn't have been more fair.

As for the fact that one of you is missing, it would be more respectable not to mention it.

Now being 1:0 behind is already a big blow to the French team, but the bigger blow is on the psychological level. Platini's actions filled the hearts of every French player with "sense of shame."

Wu Jie also had to admit that the impact of this goal was very big. Although they had the advantage before, it felt like they were in a position to not score a goal.

This is partly due to luck, but more importantly, it is because the French team has been established for six or seven years. Even if they do not have the structural advantages of the Chinese team, this long time is enough for them to build a complete defensive system.

The cooperation is relatively tacit, and it is not that simple to score goals.

Now that a goal has been scored, the situation is completely different, but the Chinese team did not follow its past style of shrinking its formation as soon as it took the lead, luring the opponent to attack aggressively and then revealing its flaws.

After taking the lead today, the Chinese team still chose to use offense to suppress the French team.

This does not mean going against the grain, but considering the French's humiliating loss of the ball, their mentality will inevitably explode!

Defensive counterattacks are certainly feasible at this time, but taking advantage of the situation and attacking to expand your advantage is also a method.

If it were a normal situation, Wu Jie would probably choose to be more conservative.

But today we have to be careful of the X factor of the referee. He feels that a one-goal lead is not safe. The key is that after strengthening the defense, there is a high chance of being called for a foul. Then it is better to continue to attack the French.

This extremely smooth and friendly rhythm now allows the Chinese team to minimize the risk of fouling. This is the most reasonable choice.

He is also sure that the French's arrogance and pride will prevent them from counterattacking with brutal fouls when falling behind.

This is a game that fans all over the world are watching. "Face" is really important to established teams.

Not to mention the French team, the Chinese team is also embarrassed to play defensive counterattacks when playing against Asian teams, otherwise it will lose face if they win.

The French did not choose to be barbaric. This is the same reason that China would not let the United States tear its face before it became the second largest player in the world. Chinese football has not yet reached the point where the French can win without losing face.

But if both sides don't step up their defensive actions, the referee won't be able to double-standard!

The French team's response when they fell behind was to start pressing forward and attack, choosing to engage in a truly hearty confrontation with the Chinese team.

In other words, at this time, the French finally lost their composure in defense, so the opportunity for Wu Jie to attack naturally came.

This opportunity occurred at the end of the first half, when the Chinese team launched a counterattack after stealing the ball.

Today, Wu Jie, who is playing the role of bait more often, finally has the opportunity to show off his personal abilities.

The Chinese team's play style at this time is very simple. Wu Jie dribbles the ball in the middle to look for opportunities to "show", and others can open up space to respond.
