Fox in the Penalty Area

Li Zhifei pulled up Shi Wuyin who was kneeling on the ground, who was hugging Hong Renjie.

After Hu Lai scored, the three of them were the only ones who didn't run to Hu Lai to celebrate the goal in front of the coach's bench.

Because Hong Renjie immediately hugged Shi Wuyin, the two just knelt down in front of the coach's bench.

The team leader Hong Renjie was the most excited among the three, he hugged Shi Wuyin and burst into tears.

At this moment, all the tremendous pressure he was under was finally released...

Choosing to let Shi Wuyin continue to coach until the end of the World Cup qualifiers seems to be a very simple matter. The Football Association only issued a news announcement, and there were no repeated rumors during the period.

It seems that people from the Football Association got together for a meeting and finally decided on this matter.

But only Hong Renjie knew how much pressure he was under behind this. After all, he was the one who brought up this idea, and he was the one who patted his chest as a guarantee for Shi Wuyin.

If he fails, he will not only lose his position as the team leader of the national team, but more importantly, he will become the sinner of Chinese football's failure to hit the World Cup again.

In the past, if you fail, you fail, it doesn't matter. Are there still few failures in Chinese football?

But it is different now. Ten years after the deepening reform of Chinese football, the Chinese Olympic team has historically reached the knockout round in the Olympic Games... In this context, it will become an unforgivable thing for the Chinese team to miss the World Cup finals again. things.

As a football player, Hong Renjie himself cannot tolerate failure, let alone others.

This is a bit like gambling. Since he bet on Shi Wuyin, he will naturally bear all the consequences of his trust in Shi Wuyin.

When Houlai put the football into the Paraguayan goal, he only felt relieved from his whole body.

He was right!

The bet won!

He did not become a "sinner" of Chinese football!

As soon as he thought of this, Hong Renjie couldn't control his emotions anymore, hugged his comrade Shi Wuyin and burst into tears.

Shi Wuyin was actually very excited, but in front of Hong Renjie like this, he couldn't show his excitement anymore, so he could only hug him, pat him on the back constantly, and comfort him.

After a while, they were pulled up by Li Zhifei.

"The game is not over yet, Lao Hong." After being pulled up, Shi Wuyin said to Hong Renjie.

Hong Renjie nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, there are still a few minutes, there are still a few minutes!"

In fact, he also knows that it is not correct to say that he has won the bet now. In case Paraguay is allowed to enter one in the last few minutes, I will still lose all my previous efforts.

But he couldn't help the excitement just now.

This time, Shi Wuyin did not ask Li Zhifei to give orders from the sidelines, but chose to do it himself.

When the players of the Chinese team finished celebrating under the interference of the referee and returned to their own half, Shi Wuyin stood on the sidelines and kept yelling at the players of the Chinese team on the court: "Hold on! Don't get carried away! Calm down! Keep your minds awake!"

There is not much need to adjust the team's tactics, he only worries about the mentality of the players.

There are too many people who are too excited and get carried away, and eventually become the "lessons learned" of the clown.

Isn't Lin Zhiyuan in the last round a typical representative?

Shi Wuyin hoped that everyone could still think of the mistake Lin Zhiyuan made in the last round at this time, and take it as a warning.

In fact, there is no need to worry about this. On the court, the players of the Chinese team who are running back to their own half are also reminding each other.

Captain Yao Huasheng even ran to his teammates one by one and patted them on the shoulder to remind them.

"Hold on! It's only a few minutes! You must not lose the chain at the last minute!"

"Concentrate! Forget about the score for now! Don't think about the World Cup!"

At the commentary seat, He Feng and Yan Kang also recovered from the previous excitement and ecstasy, and began to remind everyone not to be too happy too early:

"The game is not over yet,

If you count injury time, there may be six or seven minutes left. Paraguay will definitely counterattack aggressively, and we must withstand their attack... we must not let the other party give us another "black three minutes"! "

"It's time to test the young men of the national team! Chinese football has lost the chain many times at critical moments... This time, can they not lose the chain?!"

Hearing what the two commentators said, many people in front of the TV also became nervous.

People who stood up before scoring a goal couldn't sit back at this time.

Some people even tremble slightly nervously, completely unable to restrain themselves.

Some people thought of the dark history of Chinese football and trembled even more.

Some people even turned off the TV, not daring to watch it anymore.

Of course, more people did not turn off the TV, but turned their backs, or closed their eyes and just listened to the sound.

After a whistle, the game restarted, and there were huge boos at the Lotus Stadium.

Paraguay attack with the ball!

※※※

Paraguay is really impatient.

Originally they were just a few minutes away from the World Cup, and now they are one goal away from the World Cup...

When the Chinese team celebrated crazily, the Paraguayan players did not lie on the ground and couldn't get up. Instead, with the encouragement of the off-field coach and the on-field captain, they cheered up and waited for the start of the game.

It's not at the end of the mountain yet.

All it takes is a ball...

All it takes is one ball and we can still go to the World Cup!

Every Paraguayan player thinks so.

After the game started, they attacked the Chinese team's goal.

The Chinese team's recovery of defense here also gave them a chance to press.

Of course they knew that after pressing with all their strength, the space behind them would be used by the Chinese team to counterattack. But now, like the Chinese team just now, they are not qualified to look forward and backward, they can only attack, and only attack.

For a while, the offensive and defensive situation on the court was reversed.

※※※

Sousa Espinola went from a center pull out of the paint to a playmaker.

Because he is the most skilled player in the Paraguay team and has rich experience. When he was blue and white in Munich, he also pulled out to organize offenses.

He is really suitable for this kind of work with his chic style of play.

But now Sosa is completely unrestrained.

Not to mention the appearance and image, from the mentality point of view, Sousa can't be chic now.

He was in a hurry, very in a hurry.

On the court, he kept yelling at his teammates to move.

"Come in, Ramirez!"

"Pass! Pass!"

While using the pass to create a killing intent, he will also suddenly take a long shot from outside the penalty area, trying to break through Lin Zhiyuan's ten fingers.

But in fact, most of his shots did not see Lin Zhiyuan at all, and were blocked by the desperate Chinese team players with their bodies.

Time passed by second by second. To the Paraguayan players, it seemed to pass quickly, but to the Chinese team, it felt like a year!

It wasn't until the fourth official held up the four-minute stoppage time sign on the sidelines that everyone realized that the 90-minute game had been played!

"There are still four minutes! Hold on!" When He Feng said this, his voice was visibly trembling.

He, who has commented on three World Cup finals, also became nervous uncontrollably.

※※※

Hu Lai suddenly found that Arsay was no longer by his side.

Searching quickly again, I found that Alsay rushed to the front...

Is this inspired by Wang Guangwei?

Of course, Hu Lai doesn't think so, it is obvious that Paraguay is going to put all their eggs in one basket.

Even the stoppage time went to the last moment, Paraguay's offensive opportunities became less and less, and they still didn't score.

Arce, the central defender, did not continue to stay in his defensive position, but rushed to the half of the Chinese team to increase the number of Paraguayans when attacking. This style of play, which is similar to the early free men, can often create unexpected threats. .

Soon Alsay sent a pick pass after getting the ball in the frontcourt!

However, Sousa, who had been organizing attacks outside the penalty area and helping the team create opportunities, suddenly went forward and went straight to a gap in the Chinese team's defense!

At this moment in the penalty area of ​​the Chinese team, the players from both sides were entangled with each other, but Alsay and Sousa still found the space!

The central defender Arce's pass was very accurate, and Sosa's forward drive was also very decisive!

For a while, the defense of the Chinese team had nothing to do with the cooperation of the two of them!

"Be careful!!" He Feng and Yan Kang in the commentary booth exclaimed at the same time.

The boos over the Lotus Stadium also reached its peak.

Amid the deafening boos, Sosa turned his head to confirm the trajectory of the football flying, adjusted his pace during running, raised his right leg, and was ready to shoot directly!

At this time, there is not a single defensive player of the Chinese team around him!

Paraguay's head coach Arturo clenched his hands into fists, trembling slightly...

In the distance, Shi Wuyin's eyes widened and his mouth opened wide, but he didn't make any sound.

In the blink of an eye, the football had already flown to Sosa's position, and was hit by the outer instep of his right foot!

Boom!

The football flew to the back corner of the goal!

After the shot, Sosa had the opportunity to let his eyes follow the football and take a look at the situation in front of the goal.

The scene where the soccer ball bypassed the goalkeeper Lin Zhiyuan and flew into the goal did not happen as he was expecting. Instead, he saw the figure of the young goalkeeper flying sideways in the air!

"roll!!!"

Accompanied by his roar, the football flying towards the back corner of the goal was stabbed vigorously by his fingertips, deflected and jumped out of the bottom line!

After finishing the shot, Sosa's knees softened and he knelt in the penalty area of ​​the Chinese team.

"Zhiyuan Lin - wow!! Beautiful!! Beautiful!!! A world-class save! He saved Sosa's shot from close at hand! It's the ultimate save!!"

The huge boos at the Lotus Stadium seamlessly switched to cheers!

Amidst the cheers, Lin Zhiyuan lay on the ground and turned his head to look at the football that had flown beyond the bottom line. He slapped his palms hard and stood up from the ground.

Then he pointed hard at the land under his feet, and loudly announced in German to Sosa who was still kneeling on the ground: "This! Yes! My! Site!!"

Sousa didn't respond, just staring at the football beyond the baseline...

※※※

Alsay, who was outside the penalty area, rushed into the penalty area, and at the same time pointed his finger at the corner flag area, reminding his teammates loudly: "Go to the corner kick! We still have a chance to attack!!"

He rushed directly in front of Sosa, pulled the latter up with both hands, and roared loudly in his ear: "The game is not over yet, Espinola! We still have a chance to attack!"

The players of the Chinese team who were about to come up to hug and celebrate with Lin Zhiyuan were also stopped by Yao Huasheng: "What are you doing?! The game is not over yet! Prevent their corner kick first!"

So before everyone had time to cheer for Lin Zhiyuan's world-class save, they threw themselves into the battle again.

That's right, the game is not over yet, it's not time to be happy!

There was also a shout and tsunami from the stands: "Team China—Come on!! Team China—Come on!! Team China—Come on!!!"

There is only this one voice in the audience, and everyone can hear it clearly, even if it is transmitted to the TV through satellite signals, the audience can also hear it clearly.

In the living rooms of countless families, bars, teahouses, restaurants, food stalls, and squares... the audience gathered in front of the screen followed the fans in front of them and shouted in unison:

"Team China—Come on!!"

※※※

This corner kick, Paraguay's goalkeeper Almiron also rushed up from the goal, ready to make a final fight.

The Chinese team naturally retreated to the penalty area to defend.

Lin Zhiyuan turned a blind eye to the players from both sides competing for positions in front of him, and just raised his arms high, as if declaring his sovereignty over the place.

Yao Huasheng followed Alsay tightly, and the two darted back and forth in the penalty area.

Wang Guangwei stuck to Sosa's side, with his back to the corner flag area, his eyes on the Bundesliga star.

The other players also have their own tasks, mingling in the penalty area.

Xie Lan in front of the TV didn't say a word, she put her clasped hands by her mouth and stared at the TV screen.

The commentator He Feng said: "...This should be Paraguay's last chance to attack in this game... As long as the ball can be defended, the Chinese men's football team will break into the World Cup finals for the first time in history!"

In the hustle and bustle of the scene, the whistle of the referee was almost inaudible. It was not until they saw the football being kicked towards the goal that many people realized that the corner kick was taken!

Sheilan paused for breath.

The football drew an obvious arc and went straight to the goal of the Chinese team!

Yao Huasheng and Alsay jumped up at the same time, and behind them Wang Guangwei and Sosa also jumped up... In the end, Yao Huasheng shook his head against Alsay and pushed the football outside the penalty area!

"Yao Huasheng has reached the top!"

Hu Lai, who was on the edge of the penalty area before, saw the football flying out, so he quickly ran to the football landing point, and looked around very quickly to observe the situation. He saw a Paraguayan player rushing towards him.

He jumped up first and rubbed the football back, and the opponent jumped straight at him, knocking him to the ground.

"Ah!" Hu Lai screamed in the air.

He heard a whistle!

Then there was another sound!

He didn't react until the third sound - the game is over!

"The game is over!! The game is over!!! We are qualifying!!! We are qualifying!!!"
