Chapter 27 Moving the Great Wall

Just after He Ying and Wu Lei both missed Yan Min's cross, Spain launched an offensive in the 38th minute.

Iniesta suddenly made a straight pass in the midfield, and the football passed through the left rib of the Chinese team's defense line. Juan Fran quickly stepped forward and rushed behind the Chinese team's left-back Rong Hao with speed!

"Iniesta's beautiful straight pass completely disrupted the Chinese team's defense!" The commentator of Spanish TV shouted excitedly.

Juan Fran caught up with football behind Rong Hao and led it to the bottom line. Rong Hao was desperately chasing back, trying to make up for the mistake he made.

Juan Fran didn't wait for Rong Hao to catch up and see him. When he was about to lead the ball to the bottom line, he kicked the ball to the goal!

At this time, the Chinese team's defense line has not yet formed an effective defense due to the sudden change just now. The two central defenders have not yet returned to defense. There is only the right guard Zhang Linpeng who has retracted from the goal, and he is still a distance away from the Spanish forward Villa who has been inserted in front of the goal. Villa can be said to be completely unmarked!

Facing Juan Fran's pass, Villa ran a little bit, but this did not prevent him from shooting. He made an unexpected shot against the incoming ball. When the football crawled between his legs, his right foot knocked inward! He knocked the football towards the goal close to the close!

This is a very sudden and hidden shot. As long as it can hit the goal frame, it is a great threat to any goalkeeper, and the goal rate is very, very high.

But this time, Sun Pan is standing in front of the Chinese team's goal!

The moment Juan Fran passes the ball, he lowered his center of gravity and spreads his hands.

Then he noticed his movements the moment Villa received the ball.

That's not a regular shot.

A shooting method Villa might use - a heel shot!

This kind of heel shot is usually shot at the far corner of the goal.

So before Villa could play the ball, Sun Pan fell to the ground and rushed to the far corner, and then the football was knocked over by Villa...

The football rolled to the far corner, but because Sun Pan made a correct judgment in advance, he swung his right hand and just drove the rolling football out with his right hand!

The football that Sun Pan tapped out happened to fall to Zhang Linpeng. He didn't care about anything at that time, turned around and kicked the football out!

"Sun Pan! Sun Pan!!!" Only then did Liu Jianhong dare to cheer for Sun Pan loudly. "He made an incredible save just now! He blocked Villa's very hidden shot! Sun Pan made the first critical save in this game!"

"Juan Fran passes the ball, Villa's former **** goal!!! Sun Pan! Oh no! Sun Pan!" This time even the Spanish commentator had to be impressed by Sun Pan's performance... Although he was very, very disappointed. "When the Chinese team's defense line has been broken through, there is another person who is an insurmountable wall! This Chinese goalkeeper who once played for Atletico Madrid for two seasons, the players of the Spanish national team must be familiar with him. He has performed wonderful saves like this many times at Atletico Madrid! At that time, he protected Atletico Madrid's goal, and now... he blocked the wonderful heel shot of Atletico Madrid forward Villa!"

The TV close-up followed Sun Pan firmly. After he got up from the ground, he saw the football being cleared and patted the national flag on his chest with great force.

Rong Hao, who was returning to defense, rushed up and hugged Sun Pan hard, thanking him for his wonderful save just now.

If Sun Pan did not block the ball, Rong Hao would definitely be the main person responsible for conceding the ball, because he easily allowed Iniesta's pass to penetrate, and he did not stop Juan Fran from making the cross.

But Sun Pan waved his hand at him: "It's a piece of cake."

When the Chinese team cheered and celebrated Sun Pan's wonderful save, Villa held his head with his hands on his head and couldn't believe his eyes. When he saw Sun Pan blocking the angle at the front point, he thought about hitting the back point. He was in the position at that time, so he could only choose to hit the back point with his heel. Although this was very difficult, it was very concealed and unexpected. It was almost impossible for the goalkeeper to make any reaction when shooting at this distance...

But Sun Pan responded and threw his shot out!

This reaction was completely beyond Villa's expectations.

Although Villa is an Atletico Madrid player, he has never been a teammate with Sun Pan. He only transferred to Atletico Madrid in the 2013-2014 season, and Sun Pan had already returned to Chelsea at that time.

If he and Sun Pan both played for Atletico Madrid at the same time, maybe he wouldn't have been so surprised...

※※※

Villa's failure to score not only surprised Villa, but also had a negative impact on the morale of Spanish players.

When I saw Villa shoot before, many Spanish players raised their hands and waited for cheers and celebrations.

Unexpectedly, Sun Pan saved the ball.

At this moment, the Spanish internationals who played for La Liga immediately thought of their experience when they faced Atletico Madrid in the league.

In front of him, Sun Pan, who was 1.9 meters tall, was really a moving Great Wall that was insurmountable and could not be overcome or broken.

On the Spanish bench, there were players discussing Sun Pan's save just now, with an incredible look on his face.

Boske frowned. He was also ready to cheer just now. Fortunately, he was more steady than his players and did not raise his hands...

Now he feels sorry for not making the ball, and he feels even more uneasy. Villa shot this ball very beautifully, but if he doesn't make it, will it cause a certain blow to his players' confidence?

※※※

Bosque's concerns make sense. When the game started again, the Spanish players were obviously a little out of mind. They were obviously affected by Villa's failure to score and the turnover began to increase.

Of course, Zhou Yi was keenly aware of this situation and knew what was going on. He realized that this was a good opportunity for the Chinese team. If the pressure could be increased, it might be possible for Spain to continue for a longer time, so that the Chinese team could take advantage of it...

So he increased his forward pass and accelerated the speed of passing and receiving, thus driving the entire Chinese team to attack the Spanish goal at such a rhythm.

This change in the Chinese team really made the Spanish team very uncomfortable.

Seeing this, Boske immediately made adjustments and asked the Spanish team to retreat to defend first to avoid conceding the ball.

Now there are only five or six minutes left before the end of the first half. Boske is worried that the team will concede the ball due to unstable morale, which will make it worse.

So of course he has to let the players reclaim their defense.

First guard the first half, and then make corresponding adjustments during the half-time break based on the situation in the first half.

Regardless of whether the Spanish players want to do so, they can only follow the head coach's requirements and reclaim the defense.

After Spain recycled it, the Chinese team naturally attacked.

Zhou Yi divided the football to the left. After Yan Min got the ball, he made a move to make a cross from the bottom, but suddenly changed to cut inward, and caught him off guard. Yan Min, who cut in the penalty area, did not pass the ball, but instead shot.

He rubbed the football in the inside of his right foot and the football headed straight to the back corner of the goal!

"Yan Min shot--!" Liu Jianhong shouted excitedly, looking forward to seeing a world goal.

Reiner jumped up, and although he stretched his arms as long as possible, he still didn't touch the football.

The Chinese fans behind the Spanish goal could not wait to jump out of their seats, ready to cheer for the goal.

But in the next second, the football flew out of the bottom line from outside the junction of the goal and the crossbar!

"Yan Min's ball...oh! It's a little bit off! It's a little bit off!" Liu Jianhong shouted regretfully.

"It's so dangerous! Yan Min's shot missed, and the Spanish team escaped!" The commentator of Spanish TV exclaimed. "Juan Fran seemed a little difficult when defending Yan Min... He couldn't deal with Yan Min who was fast and flexible..."

Seeing that his shot was skewed out, Yan Min held his head in his hands and knelt on the ground. His movements were not exaggerated at all.

"Yan Min missed the great opportunity to take the lead... It has been forty minutes in the first half, and the score between the Chinese and Spanish teams is still 0:0, and the deadlock has not been broken. On the other side, the game between the Dutch and Chile is still 0:0. If the score is over now, the Dutch team will qualify with Chile, and the Chinese team will be eliminated..." Liu Jianhong said. "There is still fifty minutes left for the Chinese team..."
