Chapter 46 The situation is changing

When Zhou Yi was about to turn around and get rid of Fernandinho, Fernandinho had no time to turn around. He kicked Zhou Yi to the ground with his legs.

The whistle of referee Weber immediately rang.

"This is a foul!" He Ping shouted.

This is certainly a foul, no doubt.

Webber ran up and not only blew Fernandinho's foul, but also gave Fernandinho a yellow card.

"Fernandinho received a yellow card. If we can advance to the quarterfinals, he will not be able to participate due to suspension..." said the Brazilian commentator.

She had nothing to say about this foul. If you don’t foul, you can get rid of Zhou Yi. If you foul, you may be like this. There must be someone to bear the responsibility. It can only be said that Fernandinho has a bit of responsibility. He was basically at a disadvantage in this game in the confrontation with Zhou Yi.

The Brazilian commentator was also helpless about this.

Fernandinho calmly accepted the yellow card without arguing, of course, he might not know that he would be suspended in the next game, otherwise he might be a little excited.

On the Chinese side, whether it is a player or a commentator or a fan, they don’t care whether Fernandinho will be suspended. They only care whether Zhou Yi is injured.

Since he was injured in the Champions League final, every time Zhou Yi falls to the ground, it has touched people's hearts, making people worried whether his old injury will recur or cause new injuries...

Fortunately, Zhou Yi quickly got up from the ground. It seemed that nothing was wrong, and the Chinese fans were relieved.

However, this made Brazilian fans feel that Zhou Yi was pretending to be a fake fall, so the booing he gave him rang again.

Zhou Yi didn't care about these boos at all. He shook his head to the teammates who came to care and said, "I'm fine. But they were a little anxious."

Brazil is indeed anxious.

There are thirty minutes left in the game, but in terms of the score or the scene, the Brazilian team has no hope.

As a center, Fred contributed almost zero to Brazil. He rarely appeared in close-ups sixty minutes before the game, and everyone almost forgot about him.

In the 64th minute, Scolari made the first substitution in this game, replacing Fred, who had played for Manchester City, with the center forward who used to play for Manchester City.

When Fred came off the court, he heard booing from Brazilian fans.

This is the first time that Brazilian fans have made such a uniform boo to their players without reservation.

The decibels of the boo almost made people think that Brazilian fans were booing the Chinese players.

But it's not.

Fred was also very dissatisfied with the booing of the Brazilian fans. After he left the court, he did not wave to the fans in the stands as usual. He did nothing and went straight into the bench seat.

※※※

Fred's booing from the end was a shock to Brazilian players, because they had never enjoyed such treatment in this World Cup. Even if there were some dissatisfaction, they were all sporadic and would not become mainstream at all.

But at this moment, Brazilian fans seemed to break the boundary of "not booing the home team" and also broke the window paper in the hearts of Brazilian players.

They don't know if they will be treated like Fred.

This made Brazilian players feel a little restless. There are too many factors outside the football field, which interfered with the game.

The Chinese team took the opportunity to launch an offensive, threatening the Brazilian team's goal.

Zhou Yi sent a straight pass ball at the front of the Brazilian team's penalty area. Yan Min, who went to the right, got the ball and made a cross from the bottom. He Ying, who followed up in the middle, shot with a strong shot!

The football was blocked by Cesar, who performed well, and he flew out...

"Cesar! He made another wonderful save! Although he has not played a normal game in the club for a long time, in this game, Cesar seemed to have performed his performance as the treble champion in Inter Milan that year!" Marcel Leif also admired Cesar's performance.

Judging from his figure, Cesar is significantly more fatter than that year. Although Cesar was not as slim as he was back then, he can now be described as a "bucket".

His physical fitness must have declined compared to that year, but in terms of mental and will, Cesar's performance is still very good.

As the game time becomes less and less and the two full-backs get more and more pressured, Brazil needs Cesar's outstanding performance in defense to ensure that he does not concede the ball...

Cesar's performance was indeed not disappointing. Faced with the Chinese team's offensive, he blocked the game with high and low, and kept them out.

However, Cesar's outstanding performance is actually based on a bad foundation, that is, the Chinese team's offensive has been too fierce during this period, so fierce that it will make Brazil fans begin to doubt their lives - is this our home court? Is it our Brazilian national team wearing yellow and green jerseys on the court?

The reason why the Chinese team's offensive is so fierce is inseparable from Zhou Yi's active performance. He keeps passing the ball in the midfield. In addition to sorting out the midfield, he can also send out a very deadly last pass, giving his teammates the chance to score.

It is precisely because the Chinese team's shooting number has increased that Cesar can perform well...

So under normal circumstances, if the goalkeeper is too active, it means that the team's situation is very dangerous.

Fernandinho has already carried a yellow card. When he faces Zhou Yi, he is not very brave to make moves. He even has this idea, thinking that Zhou Yi will deliberately mess with him and then try to get him sent off by accumulated yellow cards. In this way, the Chinese team has the advantage in numbers and no one can curb Zhou Yi. Wouldn't the Chinese team have the advantage in all respects, and can they do whatever they want in the Brazilian team's halftime?

But if you are worried about being sent off and dare not make moves... in fact, the Chinese team is already doing whatever they want.

This is a very distressing multiple-choice question.

Fernandinho has always been struggling with choosing A or B, and it is even more difficult to do his best in defending Zhou Yi.

Scolari saw this performance against Fernandinho and knew why. He had to make substitution adjustments now, otherwise the Brazilian midfielder might collapse.

But now there are very few people who can defend Zhou Yi on the Brazilian bench, only one Paulinho. But Paulinho performed very badly in the group stage, otherwise he would not have put him on the bench in this game.

Can Paulinho, who performed poorly in the group stage, be able to curb Zhou Yi?

Scolari was unsure.

But now I'm afraid he won't be allowed to make the best choice now, and it would be good to change some.

So in the 70th minute, Brazil made the second substitution, replacing Paulinho with a yellow card.

When Fernandinho left the court, there were boos, but the boos were not as big as Fred. After all, as the most controversial and weakest number nine in Brazil's history, Fred has long been unhappy for many Brazilian fans.

※※※

"Scolari replaced two consecutive times, and it can be seen that he is dissatisfied with the current performance of Brazil. This time, the replacement of Fernandinho is an adjustment for Zhou Yi. Fernandinho replaced Paulinho in this game, hoping that he could curb Zhou Yi. But from the actual game, he obviously failed..." Marcel Lef commented. "I wonder if Paulinho can curb Zhou Yi after he came on the court?"

Soon the two of them had a head-on confrontation on the court.

When the football was passed to Zhou Yi, Paulinho also rushed forward.

Facing his defense, Zhou Yi gently tamped the football with his right foot to the left, and then stretched out his left foot, as if he was going to have a fried croquette.

Paulinho immediately tilted his body to the other side, shifted his center of gravity, trying to block Zhou Yi's route.

But Zhou Yi was not fried croquettes. His left foot pushed the football that was buckled by his right foot forward!

The football crawled between Paulinho's legs...

Although Paulinho's upper body did block Zhou Yi's body, it was difficult to block a football that was much smaller than Zhou Yi's body...

The football was passed by Zhou Yi to Gao Lin, who was retreating and responding. Because Paulinho's forward pounce put Gao Lin in an unguarded space.

After Gao Lin received the ball, he turned around, and Brazil's central defender David Ruiz had to leave his defense zone and rushed up to defend him. As a result, his position was empty, He Ying cut inside, and Gao Lin pushed out the straight pass and sent the football over!

"The opportunity for the Chinese team!"

Fortunately, Thiago Silva's performance was quite reassuring. When He Ying received the ball, Silva also blocked He Ying's side, interfering with him and making it impossible for him to shoot easily.

Although He Ying finally completed the shot, under the close interference of Thiago Silva, his shot failed to get the strength and was caught by Cesar.

The TV broadcast did not send the camera to Cesar who saved the shot, or Yan Min who shot, but immediately gave it to Zhou Yi.

He is also a director who knows how to play.

This was Paulinho's first defense against Zhou Yi since he came on the court, but Zhou Yi still seemed at ease.
