When the game started, there were huge cheers in the Minero Stadium, which were all given to the Brazilian team, not to the Chinese team.

As the host, the atmosphere here is very strong.

The stadium that can accommodate 62,547 fans to watch the football is the second largest stadium in Brazil.

Today's Minero Arena is almost full of yellow oceans, with Brazilian fans occupying the vast majority of this stadium.

However, although there are few Chinese fans, the red is quite conspicuous among the yellow, which is easy to find.

After the kickoff, live commentator He Ping began to introduce the starting list of both sides in this game.

Compared with the previous game, the Chinese team's starting lineup was only adjusted in the forward position, and Gao Lin replaced Wu Lei.

Gao Lin is in the middle, and He Ying goes to the right.

The other locations are exactly the same.

Brazil's side Scolari used Fernandinho, who played for Manchester City, to replace Paulinho, who performed poorly in the group stage, and there was no other major adjustment.

Neymar and Hulk are both here.

The center is still Fred.

The referee of this game was the famous referee Weber from England.

Any player who has played in England and in the Champions League will definitely be familiar with this referee.

Zhou Yi once had Weber's law enforcement game experience. The most impressive thing was that the game that challenged Real Madrid away in the second leg of the Dortmund semi-final last season was Weber's referee.

However, at the national team level, Weber has never enforced the Chinese team's game before. After all, the last time the Chinese team participated in the World Cup was in 2002.

In the 8th-finals of the South African World Cup four years ago, Brazil's match against Chile was enforced by Weber. In that game, Brazil defeated Chile 3-0 with goals from Juan Fabiano and Robinho.

So if you insist on saying this, Weber is still the referee who brings good luck to Brazil. I don’t know if Weber will continue to bring good luck to them in this game.

He Ping introduced the starting list of both sides, while the Brazilian commentator talked about the history of the two teams' confrontation: "This is our second time in the World Cup we played against the Chinese team. The last time was already in 2002, and we won the championship in that World Cup. In the second round of the group stage, we defeated the Chinese team at that time 4:0..."

After the game began, Brazil launched a fierce offensive against the Chinese team's goal with their home advantage.

Four minutes into the game, after Neymar got the ball in the middle circle, facing the defense of Zhou Yi and Yang Muge, he chose to dribble the ball from the middle and forcefully break through.

He wiped Zhou Yi away, but was pushed to the ground by Yang Muge in time.

The referee Weber made the first foul penalty for the whole game, and Yang Muge was sentenced to a foul, with a verbal warning.

"The Chinese team must strictly guard Neymar today, and his breakthrough will be a great threat..." He Ping said.

If we want to talk about Brazil today, who is most afraid of the Chinese team, it must be Neymar.

Neymar is also the only Brazilian starting lineup who has not played against Zhou Yi.

Brazil won a free kick in the frontcourt, and they hit the Chinese team's penalty area. Hulk jumped up and headed the ball. Sun Pan pushed the crossbar and Brazil won a corner kick.

Next Hulk ran to the corner kick.

After the corner kick was taken, Feng Xiaoting headed the ball and Marcelo got the second landing point outside. After adjusting, he directly took a strong long shot with his left foot.

After the football drew an arc, it still missed the goal.

The Brazilian fans in the stands were so shocked that they almost cheered.

Although Marcelo did not score this goal, it sounded the clarion call for the Brazilian team's national offense.

In the twelfth minute, Brazil played a beautiful cooperation in the frontcourt.

Hulk took the ball on the left and broke through. Facing the defense of two Chinese players, he chose to pass the football to Neymar who responded to him in the middle, and then he continued to run forward by himself.

Neymar was facing back to the attack direction, but Guo Nu couldn't turn around, so he rubbed the ball behind him with the outer instep of his right foot and passed it back to Hulk who was running forward!

Hulk accelerated and rushed into the penalty area, but the Chinese right-back Zhang Linpeng was also following him. When Hulk entered the penalty area and got the football, he had a physical contact with Zhang Linpeng, and then he fell into the penalty area.

When Hulk fell to the ground, huge boo and shouts rang out from the stands of Minero Stadium.

Brazilian fans stood up from their seats and waved their arms into the field.

They thought it was a penalty kick.

But referee Weber made no statement.

Brazilian coach Scolari was stunned for a moment and shouted angrily: "How can this not be a penalty kick?"

Chinese commentator He Ping was also worried: "Hulke fell in the penalty area, the Chinese team should be careful!"

Later, the slow motion of the TV broadcast showed that Zhang Linpeng and Hulk did have a physical contact, and his hand did push out, but it was not very obvious. Moreover, the power of this action should not make Hulk fall to the ground so easily. You must know that Hulk is very strong, just like a human-shaped tank, how can he be pushed down so easily?

Even if Zhang Linpeng had movements on his hands, Hulk was suspected of pretending to be a fall.

"This is not a penalty kick, Webber saw it very clearly!" He Ping breathed a sigh of relief.

But the Brazilian commentator held another view: "This is a penalty kick! The Chinese team's No. 5 player had a very obvious pushing move! Weber turned a blind eye?! It seems that Zhou Yi's words before the game really worked, making the referee dare not even stick to the normal judgment standard, for fear of being labeled as 'taking care of the host'!"

When he said this, he was indignant and felt unhappy that Zhou Yi succeeded.

Hulk fell to the ground and became the first controversial penalty in this game. Scolari was still chattering, but he couldn't change the penalty result.

Fortunately, Brazilian players were not affected by this penalty, and they continued to attack the Chinese team's goal with their home advantage.

In the seventeenth minute, Brazil launched another attack, reaching the front of the Chinese team's penalty area. Neymar passed a ball to the left. When he wanted to give Hulk, Yang Hao, who was returning to the defense, saw that the football was about to fly over him. When his mind was hot, he suddenly stretched out his hand and blocked the football...

"Hey? Hey! This is a handball!" the Brazilian commentator exclaimed. "This is a handball on purpose! It is an action to eat cards!"

"Yang Hao's foul..." He Ping was speechless. This was not a threatening pass. Even if Yang Hao couldn't stop him, he would not have to block him... As a midfielder, if he got a yellow card for such a stupid reason, it would be very unfavorable for the next game. "Yang Hao was still a little nervous. Maybe he was affected by the home atmosphere of this game..."

The atmosphere of Brazil's home court in this game is indeed very fanatical. Every moment, the stands are filled with shouts and singing from Brazilian fans. As long as the Brazilian team takes the ball and pushes forward, no matter whether there is any threat to the Chinese team's goal, it will be a huge cheer, which is so loud that it makes people feel extremely uncomfortable.

In addition, when Chinese players get the ball, a boo will sound first. Of course, other Chinese players don’t enjoy much boo, mainly Zhou Yi. As long as Zhou Yi touches the ball, the boo will be particularly loud. Zhou Yi’s remarks before the game successfully aroused the disgust of Brazilian fans for him.

The referee Weber did not let the Chinese team go foul this time. He not only gave Brazil a free kick on the left side of the frontcourt, but also gave Yang Hao a yellow card.

Then the Brazilian team took the free kick with Hulk. The free kick he kicked bypassed the wall and flew directly to the near corner of the goal.

However, such a free kick is difficult to break through Sun Pan's ten fingers.

Sun Pan soared into the air and blocked the football from the bottom line.

Brazil won a corner kick.

※※※

Hulk played the corner kick before, but this time the Brazilian team changed the corner kick serve, and Neymar ran to play the corner kick.

He kicked the football forward.

The Chinese team also strengthened the defense at the front point when defending, after all, this is a very threatening way to score a corner kick.

The captain of the Brazilian national team, Thiago Silva, indeed jumped high at the front point and wanted to head the ball!

Guo Nu, who was not as tall as him, competed for the top of the front with his excellent bounce and Thiago Silva, but he was squeezed behind by Thiago Silva, and Silva still rushed to the football before him.

However, with Guo Nu's interference, he had no way to head the ball, so he could only rub the football towards the back point.

This rub caught the Chinese team's defense off guard.

Sun Pan originally blocked Thiago Silva's header at the front point, and the Chinese team's defensive center of gravity was also pressed against the front.

Unexpectedly, Thiago Silva rubbed the football to the back point!

At the back point, there is David Ruiz!

But in front of David Ruiz, Yan Min who retreated to defend in front of the goal.

In the meantime, Yan Min saw the football flying over and lifted his legs back like a conditioned reflex, just like a horse was about to lift his hind legs to kick someone. This was a completely subconscious action. He wanted to block the football before David Ruiz.

But David Ruiz pressed against him from behind and raised his legs. The two legs collided together, and the collision made Yan Min lose control of his legs.
Chapter completed!
