Chapter 48 Cunning
Before overtime, both sides had five minutes of rest, and they didn't have time to enter the locker room, so they both had the final rest on the sidelines.
Both team medical and physical therapy teams are taking the time to massage the legs of players who feel tired to help them recover.
The head coaches are holding tactical boards to explain the tactical arrangements for overtime to their players.
Everyone was listening very seriously.
The TV broadcast took the time to play He Ying's last shot just now, and He Ping was still very sorry: "If this ball is entered, there will be no such things now... It's a pity, but this is football, this is football. You will never know what will happen in the next second... I hope the mentality of the young men of the Chinese team will not be affected, and I hope He Ying will not be affected. If there is a chance in front of the goal next time, I will still shoot decisively!"
Lippi talked endlessly in front of the players with a tactical board. His translator looked at him intently, and then took advantage of his breath to translate the long paragraph he had just said in one breath.
"...Remember, stabilize the defense and then translate. When counterattacking, you must be determined and decisive, and don't have any extra ideas. The most important thing is to be patient, calm and don't panic. We have practiced penalty kicks before the game. If it really doesn't work, just play penalty kicks. Both sides have equal opportunities to play penalty kicks, and Brazil may not be better than us..."
The rapid tone of the translation, in today's environment, highlights a sense of tension and urgency, which makes many Chinese players tighten their throats.
However, when we were about to play, Zhou Yi slapped his teammates and said, "The Brazilian team never expected them to be dragged into overtime, so this would be a big blow to their psychology. As long as we keep our breath, the advantage is actually on our side. It's better to play at the previous pace and don't think too much."
Although he is young, he has experienced many battles. Everyone feels at ease when he hears his words, because what scene is something that Zhou Yi has never seen before? The experience of the two Champions League finals is unique among Chinese players.
He said it was correct, and he said it was no problem, that was no problem.

After a brief adjustment and rest, the players on both sides returned to the court.
Lippi took the lead in making a substitution, and he replaced Zheng Zhi with Yang Hao who was exhausted.
Yang Hao has played four consecutive World Cup starters. Although he started every game, his physical strength was also consumed a lot. He would have to play another 30 minutes in this game, and he could no longer keep up with the pace. If there is a loophole due to physical fitness reasons, no one wants to see it.
Zheng Zhi is old, but has rich experience. Thanks to his outstanding professional qualities and living habits, his physical fitness and condition are maintained well. Otherwise, he would not be the main captain in Guangzhou Hengyuanli, the overlord of the Chinese Super League.
Zheng Zhi is a very comprehensive midfielder. He can organize offenses and play defense. When necessary, he can retreat to the back line as a central defender. Letting him play on the court means several more people.
In addition, after Zheng Zhi came on the court, he could also help Zhou Yi sort out the midfield and reduce the burden on Zhou Yi.
Unlike the Chinese team who made substitutions just beginning the overtime game, Brazil still has the last substitution quota left, and Scolari chose to hold on.
After the game began, the Brazilian team, who played at home, continued to attack the Chinese team's goal.
Since the game has reached overtime, of course they hope to score goals as soon as possible, establish an advantage, and then end the battle in overtime.
In the 91st minute, Hulk broke through on the left and was knocked down by Zhang Linpeng. The referee Weber awarded a free kick to the Brazilian team near the baseline. This free kick was basically equal to a short corner kick.
Neymar came to take the free kick, and there were people in front of the goal. He passed the football to the goal, hoping to create chaos and then win the chaos.
But Guo Nu jumped up and grabbed the ball before everyone, and pushed it out of the bottom line.
Brazil then received a corner kick.
This time, the Brazilian team did not kick the football directly in front of the goal. They took a tactical corner kick and reorganized the attack. Then they passed the football to the front of the goal. However, this time when Ruofei scored the point, he raised his left foot and kicked Sun Pan directly. Weber judged Ruo to foul the goalkeeper and gave Ruo a yellow card.
But for Brazil, the trouble is probably not just that.
Sun Pan, who was kicked by Ruo, lay on the ground and did not get up.
According to the rules, if a player is injured during the game, the injured player must leave the court for treatment and can only return to the court after the treatment is completed. In between, the team can only have one less player to fight.
There is only one position that is not like this, and that is the goalkeeper.
The goalkeeper is injured and does not need to go out for treatment. The game cannot be restored. When will the goalkeeper's treatment be over and confirms that it is fine, the game will be restored. Before that, no matter how anxious you are, you can only wait.
Waiting for...
wait……
Put...
If Sun Pan kicked Sun Pan's arm, Sun Pan would fall to the ground with his arm covering his arms. The Chinese team's team doctor team also quickly came on the court after receiving the referee's permission and conducted examinations and treatments on Sun Pan.
Actually, there is no big problem, but everyone knows in their hearts that this is a good opportunity for the Chinese team to delay time.
So the team doctor team slowly conducted detailed examinations and treatments, and Sun Pan also lay on the ground, covering his arms and making a painful expression. Other Chinese players surrounded him, hydrating, watching the fun, and resting.
How could Brazilian players not know what the Chinese team plans? Everyone is experienced and no one is a rookie in Chu Ge. If you come up and tell the referee that Sun Pan must be delaying the time: "I played him, but it is definitely not that heavy. He cannot take such a long time to treat!"
As the captain of the team, Zhou Yi certainly had to stand up for his teammates at this time. He leaned over and said to Ruo: "You are not a doctor, how do you know it's not serious?"
If you argue, "I'm not very strong..."
"Oh, it's not very powerful? Then if you kick it in a critical position, it doesn't require too much power, and it can also cause great damage." Zhou Yi believes in the struggle for force.
"You are making a point!" Ruo was very angry.
Zhou Yi took a step forward, almost pressing against Ruo, then looked up at him and said, "It's you who fouled. I don't think you have the position or qualification to say such things. Remember, you already have a yellow card on you."
Although he was gritting his teeth, even if he heard Zhou Yi's words, he would not be able to really do anything to Zhou Yi.
And at this time, Brazilian players also came up to pull Jue away. They were worried that if they were impulsive and pushed Zhou Yi, Zhou Yi would also cover his face and lay on the ground, then they would probably be lying down and ending the first half of the overtime game...
The captain of Brazil, Thiago Silva, hugged Zhou Yi's shoulder and covered his mouth with his hands and said to Zhou Yi: "Everyone knows what's going on, it's almost enough..."
Zhou Yi looked innocent: "I can't make the decision either. I have to see a team doctor, and the team doctor also needs to see Sun Pan's situation..."
Thiago Silva had no idea when facing such a shameless person.
Who made me kick someone who shouldn't have kicked me?
In the end, Sun Pan lay on the ground with the overwhelming booing of Brazilian fans for three minutes before being pulled up by the team doctor.
What is three minutes?
Fifteen minutes into the first half of the overtime, he grinded out one-fifth of his time on the ground.
When Sun Pan got up to move his legs, the booed in the stands became even louder.
But Sun Pan didn't care at all, and waved to the Brazilian fans who booed him in the stands and raised his middle finger...
Seeing this scene, even Zhou Yi had to admire Sun Pan for being shameless, he would be even more shameless than himself.
"Sun has already stood up, it seems nothing serious. He focused on moving his arm that was kicked by Ruo..." He Ping kept silent and did not mention that it was delaying time.
But the Brazilian commentator was not polite: "This is a very lack of sports ethics and a very despicable behavior! Before the game, Zhou Yi kept saying that the referee took care of the Brazilian team, but look at what the Chinese team did. Every thing is trampling on the fair and just sports spirit!"
But in fact, Sun Pan did this not just to delay time, but more importantly, to allow Chinese players to have a few more minutes of rest.
Unlike Brazil, the Chinese team's bench thickness is obviously not enough. The four games are basically achieved by this lineup. The physical energy is consumed and it cannot be fully recovered in a short period of time. This game lasts for 90 minutes and has to play overtime, which is also a huge test for the team's physical fitness.
That's why the Chinese team needs such a rest time to facilitate them to better cope with the next overtime.
After all this tossing, the game can finally be resumed.
Chapter completed!
