Chapter 39 Lock the Olympic Medal
Raphael and Juan, who were fighting in the internal strife, were soon separated by the referee Clattenberg, who was rushed over, and then his teammates rushed over. Captain Thiago Silva scolded them mercilessly: "What are you doing? You are still playing, we are still behind! You are actually fighting in public!"
But Thiago Silva's reprimand did not work. Although Juan and Raphael were separated by their teammates, they still glared at each other and had no intention of exposing this matter.
The reality of being led by the Chinese team by two goals has made many people lose their calmness, and they can no longer think like normal people.
So after the game resumed, Raphael was replaced by head coach Meneses.
The one that was replaced was attacking player Lucas Jr.
At the last moment of the game, Menesez also had to make a last try.
Neymar also rushed to the Chinese team's defense line at all costs, but whether it was Neymar, Lucas Jr., or anyone else, Brazilian players chose to do it alone after getting the ball, without thinking about playing and cooperating.
With their excellent personal skills, they can indeed pose a certain threat to the Chinese team's goal, but more often they do make Brazil's offensive opportunities waste time and time again.
In ninety minutes, Brazil still failed to score.
The fourth official raised the sign of injury stoppage time on the sidelines, which lasted for five minutes.
The Chinese fans in the stands booed because of this long injury stoppage time.
He Ping no longer wants to discuss the issue of injury stoppage time. He was just loudly encouraging the team: "Come on! There are five minutes left, hold on, the young men of the National Olympic Team! You are still five minutes away from a brand new history!"
After the injury time began, the Brazilian team's counterattack was like a huge wave. All Chinese team members contracted and shrank in front of their goal, forming a flesh-and-blooded Great Wall, using their own body to stop the Brazilian team's dying struggle.
But they conceded the goal just as the injury stoppage time began, but they still failed to completely seal the opponent.
In the 91st minute, Marcelo made a long pass in the backcourt, and Damion jumped up and asked the football to Hulk who was inserted on the right. Hulk broke into the penalty area and gave strong charity eight meters away from the goal on the right.
This time, although Sun Pan touched the football with his finger, the Hulk's shooting power was too great. The football broke through his blockade and flew into the goal from the upper corner...
"Hulke!!" The Brazilian narrator roared in a long voice, "gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!"
Brazilian fans, who were increasingly silent at Old Trafford, erupting collectively, just like a dormant volcano began to erupt, venting all the emotions accumulated for ninety minutes.
After scoring the goal, Hulk did not choose to celebrate the goal, but rushed into the Chinese team's goal amid cheers, then picked up the football in front of everyone, turned around and ran towards the middle circle.
His teammates rushed up to hug him, and then ran to the middle circle with him.
"1:2! Brazil scored a goal! There are four minutes left. As long as one more goal is scored, they can drag the game into overtime! This will be a devastating blow to the morale of the Chinese team!" Mark Laurenson shouted excitedly, as if he was looking forward to overtime.
He Ping's tone was anxious: "I'm so unlucky! The Chinese team's defense line was distracted at that moment. Our left back Zhou Yun was unable to follow Hulk! Now he only leads one ball, and there are four minutes left in the game, and the situation is very critical!"
In front of the TV, the hearts of the Chinese fans in front of the computer were all in their throats. No one could sit and watch the live broadcast of the game. Everyone stood up and stared at the TV and computer screen nervously.
The broadcast gave many close-ups to players on both sides.
The Brazilian players were excited, while Zhou Yun, who seemed very frustrated and painful on the Chinese team, was the direct person in charge of the goal conceding because the place where Hulk broke through was his defense area, but he was attracted to Damion at that time and completely missed Hulk.
The TV broadcast screen was cut again and gave it to the captain of the Chinese team, Zhou Yi. He was slapping hard and shouting something, but the scene was noisy, and there was no radio microphone in his location. The people watching the live broadcast could not hear Zhou Yi shouting anything.
Zhou Yi is encouraging everyone: "It's just a retrospective look. There's nothing to be afraid of. Just kick according to our rhythm!"
Sun Pan, who lost the ball, gritted his teeth: "I swear this is their last goal!"
※※※
The atmosphere of the game became more and more tense after Hulk scored. The Brazilian fans in the stands kept cheering to cheer for the Brazilian team. The Chinese fans, who were fewer than them, suffered a loss at this moment, but the Chinese fans in the Old Trafford stands did not retreat because of this. They were still shouting: "Come on China! Come on China!"
With the cheers of fans on both sides, the Brazilian team's offense became more and more crazy, but at the same time, there were more and more loopholes in their defense.
In the third minute of injury time, Zhou Yi cleared the ball in the backcourt. He kicked the football into the frontcourt with a big foot. He Ying gritted his teeth and chased. Although he might not get the ball, he was unwilling to let the Brazilian take the ball and fight back easily. His rushing out might make the Chinese team lose one person in the backcourt, but he knew very well that his role in staying in the backcourt was definitely not as great as it is now. If he could catch up with football, he could threaten the Brazilian goal and delay the time.
"He Ying! He is still chasing!" He Ping shouted so hard that his voice was hoarse. He also knew that if He Ying could catch up with football, it would mean that the Chinese team could buy more time.
Finally, He Ying dared to stop the football before Juan, and then accelerated to break through and into the penalty area with a change of direction!
At that moment, the cheers of the Chinese team fans in the stands suddenly increased, and the Brazilian fans were changed.
He Ying, who entered the penalty area, shot, and the football flew out against the near post, but did not enter!
"Oh! What a pity! Otherwise He Ying would be able to lock in the victory!" He Ping shouted regretfully.
After shooting, He Ying fell into the penalty area and did not get up and quickly returned to defend, which made him feel very rare cramps...
However, the Brazilian team did not suspend the game because of this. Almost as the football flew out of the baseline, Gabriel turned around to find the caddie outside the baseline to ask for the ball.
The caddie didn't know if it was a supporter of Brazil, but he immediately threw the football to him in cooperation. He didn't even put it carefully, and just put it on the ground and kicked the football out with a big foot!
At this time, He Ying was still lying on the ground and did not get up. The Brazilian team's offense had already developed to the Chinese team's halftime.
Chinese fans in the stands booed, protesting Brazil's unsports-free approach. He Ping was also condemning Brazilian players.
But to be honest, who can still care about abiding by sports spirit at this time? If China and Brazil are inverted, I am afraid that the Chinese players will ignore Neymar lying in their penalty area. Who knows whether the Brazilian is cheating and delaying time?
Wu Lei raised his hand and shouted to the referee, signaling that a player in the Chinese team fell to the ground due to injury and hoped that he would suspend the game.
But the referee ignored it. When Zhou Yi ran towards the Brazilian player, he didn't forget to yell at Wu Lei: "What are you doing?! Focus on defense!"
Brazil has already hit the attack on the edge of the Chinese team's penalty area. Hulk made a cross from the right, and Neymar jumped to the back point and headed the ball for the top!
Neymar is not a good player at heading, but this time his heading quality is very high. He not only suppressed Zhou Yun in the air, but also hit the football firmly.
The football he pushed to flew forward!
"This is a very high-quality header!" exclaimed Mark Laurenson.
But before he finished speaking, Sun Pan, who was in the air, racquetted the football with his single palm.
"Sun Pan! Great! A wonderful save!" This time it was He Ping's cheer. "This may be a save that determines the outcome of the game!"
Seeing his header being saved by Sun Pan, Neymar, who had just landed, hugged his head with both hands and widened his eyes, unable to believe everything he saw.
The Chinese players around him all raised their arms and cheered for Sun Pan's save.
Sun Pan got up from the ground and shouted: "I said you never think about scoring the goal again!"
He shouted to Neymar, but Neymar did not respond because he no longer cared about what the Chinese players called, and his mind was now full of thoughts of huge shadows of failure shrouding over his head.
This is his best chance and last chance in this game, but he is almost comparable to the header that Bailey headed towards England goal back then, but he encountered a save comparable to that of England goalkeeper Banks Century that year...
Sun Pan's pounce completely wiped out the Brazilian team's hope of equalizing the score, and Neymar's end was also the last time Brazil's team attacked in the whole game.
The corner kick was taken afterwards and Sun Pan took it directly from the air. The Chinese team did not give Brazil any chance.
At the fifth minute and thirty-one of injury time, referee Clattenberg blew the whistle to the end of the game!
Chapter completed!
