Chapter 26 Put it together

It was not until the 20th minute that Spain made its first shot.

At that time, Iniesta made a cross from the right, and Villa volleyed in the penalty area, which was very similar to Yan Min's previous volley.

But Villa's volley not only missed the baseline, but also took the lead in offside...

Although this shot was not a success overall, the good news is that Spain slowly found the feeling of the game, and their offense gradually became threatening.

Three minutes later, Spain's offense made a comeback. Torres retreated to the 30-meter area and received a pass from his teammate. He pretended to dribble the ball to the side, but suddenly knocked the ball behind him with his heel and turned around quickly.

Yang Hao followed him quickly turned around, while Torres brought the football forward.

Yang Hao put his body on his body and used his body to block and interfere with Torres' dribbling. At the same time, directly in front of Torres, Guo Nu also took a step forward and prepared to intercept the ball.

Under Yang Hao's interference, Torres did not control the ball well, and the football was directly trampled on Guo Nu's leg by him.

But Guo Nu was also hastily about the sudden ball. He just took it passively and could not take the initiative to control the football.

After the football hit his calf, it deflected and bounced out, and just landed in front of Villa.

Villa rushed up to catch the ball, but he didn't try to get the ball by himself, although everyone thought he wanted to do this - the Chinese right-back Zhang Linpeng rushed up with Villa, trying to hold on to him and prevent him from getting the ball easily.

But Villa did not stop the ball. He cleverly used his heel to knock the ball behind him!

The football penetrated the Chinese team's rib defense line and rolled into the space left by Zhang Linpeng after he came up...

"Villa's heel passes! Dangerous!" Liu Jianhong shouted, a little nervous.

At this time, Alba had already rushed to the penalty area line, just in the space behind Zhang Linpeng, and because Feng Xiaoting was dragging at the end, Alba was not offside yet!

After receiving the ball, Alba took a step forward, and made adjustments at the same time, swung his feet and shot!

He just shot the football out, and Guo Nu's flying tackle arrived. If he adjusted it a little more, the ball might have been tackled out by Guo Nu...

But although the football avoided Guo Nu's tackle, it was unable to penetrate Sun Pan's ten fingers.

Sun Pan, who blocked the angle, fell to the ground and rushed to the side. He did not choose to hug Alba's shot that was so powerful that it was close to the distance. In that case, the football was likely to lose its hand. He directly hit the incoming ball with both fists!

The football fell outside the penalty area and was kicked out of the sideline by Chinese players.

At this time, Torres signaled to the referee that the Chinese player Yang Hao had a foul just now. He showed "evidence" - to pull the jersey that was torn by Yang Hao during the while...

"Torres' jersey was pulled out in a big hole. It should have been pulled out by Yang Hao while defending just now... It seems that Yang Hao was really trying his best to defend after being shaken by Torres..." Liu Jianhong said.

He was right, Yang Hao was really trying hard to defend just now. When Torres suddenly turned around, he was startled, fearing that after Torres got rid of him, he would cause trouble to the defenders behind him, so he also turned around quickly, defending with his hands and feet. At that time, he didn't even bother to consider whether he would be sentenced to a foul.

Zhou Yi has returned to the team. If the Chinese team still cannot qualify, then what is the meaning of everything we have done before?

In any case, Zhou Yi’s comeback cannot be meaningless, nor can our own efforts lose their meaning!

This is what Yang Hao thought at that time.

Now that he saw that Torres' jersey was torn by himself, he was a little scared - if the referee judged him to foul, wouldn't it be a good free kick?

He looked at Zhou Yi, who was also smiling at him, and then gave him a thumbs up.

This is the second time Zhou Yi has given a thumbs up in this game.

He liked his teammates, and they were indeed worthy of being liked because everyone worked hard, worked hard, and was very united.

※※※

Next, the two sides entered a stalemate stage.

Spain does have to fight for honor, and after making lineup and tactical adjustments, the players on the court are now playing more easily.

Especially the two "veterans" Torres and Villa, they were the heroes of Spain's World Cup championship in the last World Cup. They cooperated with the players in the team, and they were not lacking in fighting spirit. In the first two games, Villa sat on the bench for 180 minutes and watched the team be eliminated, but he could not contribute any strength.

And now, he has the opportunity to contribute his strength and regain the glory of Spanish football in front of the whole world. How could he not do his best?

The thirty-three-year-old Villa knew very well that this would be his last World Cup and his last World Cup match.

This last time, he didn't want to leave any regrets on himself.

Spain is very hard, and the Chinese team is also very hard.

The two sides fought together.

In the 25th minute, after Torres changed his jersey and came on the court, he received Iniesta's straight pass. Without Xavi, Iniesta took on the heavy responsibility of the last pass, while Xavi Alonso was more responsible for overall rhythm control.

After receiving the ball, Torres shot directly from the right side of the penalty area.

But Guo Nu appeared in front of Torres with his hands on his back, and the football hit his chest hard and bounced out.

Guo Nu suffered such a blow, but like nothing happened, he immediately entered the game and did not cover his chest and fell to the ground and rolled a few times.

Spain then received another corner kick in the 30th minute.

However, this corner kick did not pose a threat to Sun Pan's goal. Spain took a tactical corner kick, but facing the Chinese team's unlimited defense, coupled with the lack of Xavi, the Spanish team did not have a better idea of ​​passing the ball. In the end, the tactical corner kick turned into a round pass, and it was passed back to goalkeeper Reina.

"It's really surprising that Spain's corner kick turned into a back pass... Faced with the defense of the Chinese team, Spain didn't even want to try to pass into the penalty area. Are you worried about being intercepted by the Chinese team and then hitting a counterattack?" German TV commentator Marcel Leif teased. "Zhou Yi does have a very good ability to seize counterattack opportunities..."

The German TV station also broadcast the whole country live. The commentator who commented on the game specifically looked for Marcel Leif, who was very familiar with Zhou Yi.

The Chinese team then launched an attack. In the 34th minute, Yan Min got the ball on the left side. He was not fast. The Spanish right-back Juan Fran who was standing in front of him did not dare to make a rash shot. Everyone knows how Yan Min played at Dortmund last season. Juan Fran is not unfamiliar with him. He knows that this player has good explosive power, fast starting speed, good at changing directions continuously, and his foot speed is very fast. He dared not make a rash shot, for fear that he would reveal a flaw and let the opponent pass him. He can only fight and retreat, hoping to force Yan Min to a dead end. The smaller the space left for him, the harder it will be to threaten Spanish goal.

But I didn't expect that for Yan Min, entering the restricted area would be like a fish in water.

As soon as he entered the penalty area, Yan Min stepped on a bicycle in front of Juan Fran.

Juan Fran was very depressed - he didn't dare to stretch his feet before because he was afraid that Yan Min would pass by him, but now he didn't dare to stretch his feet anymore, because he was afraid that Yan Min would fall to the ground and give him a penalty kick.

So when facing Yan Min's bicycle, Juan Fran seemed hesitant.

At this moment, Yan Min keenly noticed Juan Fran's hesitation and found that Juan Fran's center of gravity was unstable, so he decisively used his left instep to gently knock the football forward, and then took a sudden step to surpass Juan Fran!

"Yan Min! Breakthrough!"

As he approached the bottom line, Yan Min swept the ball to the front of the goal!

"Crossing...look at this ball--!"

Amid Liu Jianhong's shouting.

He Ying quickly stepped forward and then kicked the football!

But he didn't play football, and the football passed by his feet and rolled towards the back point!

In the back, Wu Lei was entangled with Spain's right-back Alba, and Wu Lei wanted to hit the ball before Alba. As long as he could hit this ball, it would probably be a goal.

But Alba has more experience than Wu Lei. He always stuck Wu Lei behind him and did not rush to rescue him. Instead, when the football came, he flashed and gave up the football, and at the same time blocked Wu Lei, who was trying to overtake, behind his body.

Yan Min's cross was so fast that he slid past the door... and got out of the sideline directly.

"Oh hey!" Liu Jianhong exclaimed. "No one met it, just passed it like this! The Chinese team missed an excellent opportunity to break the deadlock!"

"An alarm sounded in front of Spain's goal. Facing the attack lineup of the Chinese team with a strong impact, Spain's defense line seemed a little panicked!" Marcel Lef was not completely neutral. Although he was a commentator of the neutral country, because he was familiar with Zhou Yi and Yan Min, he naturally stood on the side of the Chinese team.

Anyway, Spain has been eliminated, so he certainly hopes that Spain will sacrifice itself so that the Chinese team can qualify from this group. He also wants to see more of Zhou Yi's performance in the World Cup... How can it be enough to just look at this game?
