Team doctor Yuan Bo came up to examine Wang Guangwei and said: "No bones were injured, and no ligaments were injured. It's okay, okay."
Wang Guangwei breathed a sigh of relief: "I also think it should be fine. It's actually not as painful now."
"There is definitely no need for a stretcher, but we have to go to the sidelines for treatment... You still have a big bruise there." Yuan Bo pointed at Wang Guangwei's calf and said.
In fact, it's not a bruise, but a purple bruise. It's all bleeding points under the skin, which looks a bit scary.
Hearing what Yuan Bo said, Wang Guangwei quickly pressed his hand: "No, no, Doctor Yuan. If I leave the field, the team will have to temporarily lose one person. This is too dangerous!"
As the team's central defender, if Wang Guangwei comes off the field to receive treatment, the game will not wait for him and will continue.
By then, the Chinese team will not only be short of one player, but also the main central defender.
Maybe the Brazilian team took advantage of this opportunity and scored a goal?
Therefore, Wang Guangwei was determined not to leave the hospital for treatment.
At this time, the referee came up and asked the situation: "How is it? Do you need a stretcher?"
Yuan Bo and Wang Guangwei shook their heads at the same time: "No, no need!"
"Then if you want treatment, please go to the sidelines..."
Seeing the referee's gesture, Yuan Bo quickly took out the analgesic spray from the medical bag before Wang Guangwei could say anything this time. While spraying it, he vigorously rubbed Wang Guangwei's calf to activate his blood circulation and remove blood stasis.
Wang Guangwei said to the referee: "It will be fine soon, sir!"
Then when the referee's patience was about to reach its limit, Yuan Bo stopped what he was doing and didn't bother to pack his things, so he pulled Wang Guangwei up first.
"alright!"
After Wang Guangwei got up, he told the referee that he had completed treatment and did not need to go to the field.
Perhaps considering that this was the home court of the Chinese team, the referee did not trouble Wang Guangwei, but signaled the Chinese team doctor to leave the field quickly.
Yuan Bo quickly packed up his medical bag and trotted out from the baseline, leaving the stage to the players.
Behind him, Wang Guangwei tried to take a few steps. He was limping a little at first, as if he didn't dare to exert force. But soon he started running, and he looked no different from before.
In fact, it's not that the pain is completely gone. After all, he was kicked hard there. That was the power Kabangka used to volley, and it was all poured into the muscles of his calf.
There is no impact at all, how is that possible?
But now the pain is not unbearable, so Wang Guangwei chooses to continue playing.
"Captain Wang, are you okay?"
"Captain Wang, how are you doing?"
Hearing the concerned inquiries from his teammates, Wang Guangwei smiled and gave them a thumbs up: "Nothing's wrong! Keep playing!"
※※※
Seeing Wang Guangwei running, He Feng finally let out a sigh of relief: "Wang Guangwei should be fine!"
He was always on tenterhooks just now.
At this critical moment, no main player of the Chinese team can be injured, let alone a captain like Wang Guangwei.
He Feng then said: "Due to Wang Guangwei's treatment, the game was suspended for two minutes. These two minutes should be added to the injury time. It is now the 82nd minute of the game, and the specific injury time is not yet known.
How long exactly is it? Even if injury time is aside, the game will not end in regular time until ninety-two minutes. So regardless of injury time, there are still ten minutes left in the game. The time left for the two teams is actually
There’s not much left…”
After Wang Guangwei finished the simple treatment, the game started again.
Although Wang Guangwei shoveled the ball out of the bottom line, because Kabangka immediately kicked Wang Guangwei, the referee still sentenced Kabangka for a kicking foul.
Instead of giving the Brazilian team a corner kick, the ball was returned to the Chinese team.
Kabangka did not protest the penalty.
After Wang Guangwei received treatment, he took the initiative to go up and pat Wang Guangwei's arm, apologizing for his kick just now.
Before he understood the situation, he thought it was Wang Guangwei who committed a foul and he should get a penalty kick.
However, after clearly watching the slow-motion return on the big screen and discovering that Wang Guangwei made a very brilliant defense, Kabangka was still very gentlemanly and did not open his eyes and tell lies.
The Chinese team regained the ball and took a free kick in the backcourt in its own penalty area.
All Brazilian players return to their own half.
The reason why they did not adopt a high-position press was because they hoped to allow the Chinese team to attack, so that the Chinese team's defense would have a lot of space.
Marquez, who has just been replaced, has physical advantages and speed, and can completely counterattack the Chinese team.
Garcia could see that the Chinese team did not want to play overtime, they seemed to want to end the game in regular time.
Then it must be that the closer the game is to the end, the more impatient the players of the Chinese team will be.
Until then, it will all be Brazil's chance.
Facing a Brazilian team that almost all retreated into its own half, Chinese team goalkeeper Lin Zhiyuan did not directly find the center with a long pass.
Because Zhou Zi Jing has been released.
He passed the football to Wang Guangwei again.
It seems that this start seems to be somewhat similar to the goal that the Chinese team equalized the score.
But it is not easy to replicate that goal again.
If a top team's cooperation in scoring goals could be replicated so easily, it wouldn't be considered top...
This time Lima and Kabangca never took a step beyond the bounds and refused to press forward.
Wang Guangwei passed the football to Xue Ming, who retreated to receive the ball.
However, when Xue Ming tried to pass the football forward to Luo Kai, he made a mistake - he and Luo Kai did not expect to be together. He wanted to pass the ball directly behind the Brazilian full-back Fonseca, so that Luo Kai could advance forward.
Able to receive the ball behind the Brazilian defence.
As a result, Luo Kai did not start in advance and ran after seeing the football flying over. It was already too late.
The football just flew out of the bottom line.
The Chinese fans sighed regretfully in the stands - the Chinese team simply handed the ball back to the Brazilian team.
Luo Kai did not complain about Xue Ming, but gave him a thumbs up and praised his passing.
"Actually, Xue Ming's intention of passing the ball is correct, but Luo Kai may have declined in physical fitness and does not have such a strong desire to move forward. He may want to retreat to respond and steadily advance the offense into the frontcourt..." Li Qingqing analyzed
.
He Feng nodded in agreement: "When players' physical fitness has dropped a lot, their thinking speed will slow down. There is no way... After this game, many Chinese players have problems with their physical fitness.
, but the more times this happens, the more we must grit our teeth and persevere!”
※※※
After gaining the ball, the Brazilian team launched an attack, this time from the right.
Because on the right wing there is Marquez, who has just come on, and Xia Xiaoyu, who is not good at playing on the wing.
The game lasted for more than eighty minutes, and not only Luo Kai but also Xia Xiaoyu had little energy left.
Four years ago, in the quarter-finals with the Netherlands, Xia Xiaoyu suffered from cramps many times at the last moment. The Dutch team's final winning goal also came from Xia Xiaoyu cramping while defending Kyrie in front and losing his position.
The Brazilian team is now exclusively playing Xia Xiaoyu's side.
Facing Xia Xiaoyu's defense, Marquez had only one way - to use a sudden start to force a breakthrough!
He bullied Xia Xiaoyu because he was not strong enough and was slow and couldn't catch up with him.
It was the same this time, he succeeded in breaking through Xia Xiaoyu with his speed!
However, he was not able to repeat the same trick as before, because as soon as he broke through Xia Xiaoyu, Shi Wanqing jumped from the side and shoveled him to the ground!
"Shi Wanqing! He knocked down Marquez and successfully stopped the Brazilian team's attack, but this should be a foul..."
Not only was it a foul, the referee who came up also showed Shi Wanqing a yellow card.
There were huge boos from Chinese fans at the scene.
They thought that the referee would be done with a verbal warning, and giving a yellow card was a bit excessive.
Shi Wanqing doesn't care about yellow cards or not.
Anyway, starting from the semi-finals, the yellow cards on players will be cleared. Taking a yellow card now will not affect the next game.
What's more, he is a substitute. Isn't it the substitute's job to help the main player block the knife at such critical moments?
Shi Wanqing, who tackled Marquios, stood up, patted his butt and ran back to the center without even looking at the referee or the yellow card behind him.
Also behind him, Chen Xingyi gasped and stood between the football and his club teammate Rodrigo Gustavo, preventing his club teammate from taking a quick free kick.
Seeing Chen Xingyi like this, Gustavo spread his hands and signaled to the referee.
The referee also reminded Chen Xingyi to leave football.
Upon seeing this, Gustavo shouted to him in English: "I won't be quick, Star!"
Chen Xingyi also answered him in English: "I believe you, Rodrigo!"
But his steps were still very slow. It was obvious that he did not believe the words of his club teammates.
In the end, Gustavo did not kick the ball directly into the Chinese team's penalty area, but passed the ball to Kabangka who came up to receive the ball, and then Kabangka organized the attack.
If you just kick the ball into the Chinese team's penalty area simply and rudely, the chance of scoring a goal is too small, but it will give the Chinese team an opportunity to counterattack.
After some passing, Brazilian forward Reinaldo Lima ran out of the penalty area and asked for the ball from his teammates.
At this time, it was Gustavo who had the ball, and he passed the ball towards Lima.
At the same time, Kabangka, who was without the ball, suddenly started and penetrated into the Chinese team's penalty area. The place where he penetrated was the space created by Lima - Wang Guangwei followed Lima and ran out of the penalty area!
Of course Lima knew that Wang Guangwei was behind him. He actually did it on purpose. He had already thought about it. He would pass the ball directly into the space behind him without stopping, and pass it to Kabangka who was penetrating forward.
Bangka came to complete the final work.
Wang Guangwei, who was following Lima, felt the soreness in his right calf muscles when he kicked off the ground.
The reason for following Lima out is because someone must follow, and we cannot let the opponent's forward just take the ball and turn around in front of the penalty area.
However, this will also create a gap behind you.
On the one hand, he hopes that his teammates can help fill the position, and on the other hand, he also hopes that he can suddenly grab the ball!
Just when the football was about to arrive, Wang Guangwei gritted his teeth and kicked out with all his strength, leaping past Lima in one stride!
Then before Lima stretched out his foot to knock the football behind him, he stabbed the ball with his foot!
Lima knocked down, lost his balance, and fell to the ground!
"Wang Guangwei! Beautiful move! No foul! No foul!"
Chinese fans cheered in the stands.
Amid their cheers, Wang Guangwei handed the football directly to Chen Xingyi on the wing.
Now it's the Chinese team's turn to attack.
The Brazilian team quickly retreated to defend!
Chen Xingyi passed the football to Hu Lai in the middle to meet him, and then accelerated and ran forward.
Hu Lai then returned the ball to him, passed it in front of him, and asked him to rush forward.
Ghazal clung to Chen Xingyi, preventing him from speeding up.
Finally, when he was about to enter the 30-meter area, Chen Xingyi had not shaken off Gazal and decided to force the ball. As a result, Gazal saw the right opportunity and shoveled it out of the sideline.
"Ghazal's tackle! Very beautiful! Perfect defense, he stopped the Chinese team's quick counterattack!" the Brazilian commentator praised.
※※※
Only after the football was shoveled off the sideline did Yan Yan come back to his senses.
Then he found that the neighbors watching the game were much quieter.
Everyone looked at the projection screen nervously.
At this point in the game, everyone was affected by the anxious atmosphere. Even the ignorant children couldn't help but watch the game quietly, no longer as noisy as before.
In fact... the Chinese team's ability to reach the semi-finals has created unprecedented history, and it is even more worthy of pride and gratification to have a back-and-forth match with the defending champion in the semi-finals.
But every Chinese fan seems not satisfied with this result.
After working so hard, if you are still eliminated like four years ago...not to mention other people, even Yan Yan himself may be a little unable to withstand it.
Because he knows that this World Cup is the best opportunity for this national team's "golden generation".
If Hu Lai's arrogant dream cannot be realized in this World Cup, I'm afraid Yan Yan will be confused and doesn't know how long he will have to wait.
Chinese football is indeed gradually getting better, and various talents and geniuses will surely emerge in the future, but people like Hu Lai... I don’t know how long it will take for another one to emerge.
If the Chinese team with peak Hu Lai can't go any further, what else can they expect?
So in Yan Yan's view, the outcome of this game is actually related to hope.
Are we expecting a World Cup final?
No...or not just.
We are chasing that hope...
Yan Yan looked up at the sky. The stadium's tracer lights were shining white, causing him to squint his eyes involuntarily.
He Feng’s commentary voice continued to be heard from the live speakers:
"Shi Wanqing throws a foul ball, Xia Xiaoyu catches the ball... and goes straight forward to find Chen Xingyi!"
As He Feng's voice grew louder, the neighbors watching the game also started shouting.
Yan Yan lowered his head and saw Chen Xingyi cutting forward from the edge of the penalty area and the football rolling from behind him.
※※※
Chen Xingyi received the ball at the edge of the penalty area.
However, the Brazilian team's defense was very neatly arranged and did not provide him with many opportunities.
So he could only slow down.
Seeing this, Hulay ran from the penalty area to outside the penalty area, hoping to pull out the Brazilian team's defensive players and create space in the penalty area.
At the same time, Luo Kai pressed into the middle from behind to fill the space left after Hu Lai was pulled out.
Xia Xiaoyu came up from behind to meet Chen Xingyi.
Ou Yangjin started from outside the penalty area and headed towards the goal to increase the number of contact points in front of the goal.
Chen Xingyi saw this and chose to pass the ball.
However, due to interference from Gazal, his pass was inaccurate.
Football found neither Ou Yangjin nor Luo Kai, and was blocked halfway by Brazilian midfielder Gustavo who retreated into the penalty area.
The football flew straight outside the penalty area.
Then it was picked up by Xia Xiaoyu, who had just returned to the court after throwing a throw-in in front of the penalty area.
While Xia Xiaoyu was catching the ball, Hu Lai, who had pulled out of the penalty area, pulled away from him and ran from the left rib to the penalty area.
Xia Xiaoyu did not pass the ball directly to Hu Lai, who was pulling away. After all, he was accompanied by the shadow-like Netolera, so passing the ball could not create a chance to threaten the goal.
It was Hulay's lateral movement that attracted the attention of some Brazilian defenders.
Xia Xiaoyu decided to pass the ball to Luo Kai.
But as soon as the ball came out, Kabangka stretched his foot from the side and blocked it!
The football rubbed against Kabangka's shin guard and made a strange arc.
Instead of flying towards the penalty area, he flew parallel to the penalty area towards the junction of the penalty arc and the penalty area line - exactly the same as Hu Lai's running route!
Netolera watched the football flying towards him. At first he wanted to head the ball out, but he immediately realized that the strongly rotating football was not where he had judged, and that it had to be farther behind him, where
...There is Hu Lai!
He quickly turned around while retreating!
I saw Hu Lai adjusting his pace in small steps, while looking up at the falling football!
"Xia Xiaoyu passes the ball! Oh... Hu Lai!"
"Have the opportunity!"
Everyone saw Hulay appear at the landing point of the football. The Brazilian team's center backs Cao and Gustavo pounced on him, plus Netolera. The three of them stretched their feet from different directions, trying to destroy it.
This ball!
But Hu Lai's feet were one step faster than them. When the football just fell but before it completely landed, he hit the football with his right foot!
This was not a very beautiful volley, because the instep of Hu Lai's right foot was not completely in the right position.
In order to seize the opportunity to shoot, he said his kick was a volley, but it was actually a tease!
Moreover, it was a kick that hit the upper half of the football. The football was not picked up, but instead bounced forward on the turf!
Brazilian team goalkeeper Lemos saw the football suddenly come out from the gap between Cao and Gustavo, and fell to the ground again, but it was already half a beat too late!
His hand reached out but didn't touch the ball!
The football scraped against the inside of the goal post and bounced into the net!
"Hu Lai! Ahhhh! The ball is in! The ball is in! Beautiful!! Hu Lai! Aha! The goal in the 87th minute! Hu Lai scored twice! China 3:2
