The Chinese team scored another goal, and now the score has been restored to 2-3.
With only one goal left, the Chinese team could get a draw.
Gao Bo was no longer conservative this time. He made another substitution adjustment and replaced Wu Lei with Hao Junmin.
Wu Lei was indeed in average shape in this game, and Gao Bo now had to admit that Yun Sheng's suggestion was right.
Not only Wu Lei's usage, but also the overall tactics and even Zeng Cheng's usage, are closer to victory.
Seeing the Chinese team's current offensive, Gao Bo regretted a little. If the start was less conservative and more aggressive, maybe it would be a different situation now.
After Hao Junmin came on the field, he exchanged positions with Yu Hai and retreated to midfield.
As a result, Arsenal captain Chen Tao, AC Milan captain Zheng Zhi, Schalke 04 vice-captain Hao Junmin, and Depor third captain Zhang Linpeng all appeared on the court.
Seeing the wonderful cooperation of several players on both offense and defense, Shao Jiayi in the live broadcast room shook his head slightly: "If these four players had played like this earlier, maybe it would be the Dutch team that is anxious to equalize the score now."
Li Feixiang looked at the direction of the court: "Wu Lei, Dong Fangzhuo, Yu Dabao, these forwards are no less than Robin van Persie; Chen Tao's form in the past two seasons has definitely surpassed Sneijder; Yu Hai and Robben have very good technical characteristics. Similar; Zhang Linpeng and Zheng Zhi’s fierce defense is also better than De Jong. Judging from the team’s star strength, we are actually a world-class team, no worse than the Dutch team, but we have a little less World Cup experience, but it is not impossible. To make up for it..."
Time passed by, and in the 89th minute of the game, Hao Junmin's direct free kick hit the goal post, and the Chinese team once again missed a good opportunity to equalize the score.
The clock kept ticking, and finally it came to the end of the game.
The referee's whistle sounded, and this fierce game ended.
After trailing by three goals in the first half, the Chinese team scored two goals in a row in the second half and almost got a draw.
The Dutch team finally narrowly defeated the Chinese team 3-2 and won their first victory in this cup.
In another game, England defeated Côte d'Ivoire 1-0 and successfully scored three points.
This time the England team's attacking group performed mediocrely, and finally relied on Terry's header to score a valuable goal.
The first round of the group is over. Now the Netherlands and England have both won and are tied for the top spot. The Chinese team and Cote d'Ivoire are at the bottom after losing the first game.
After playing the first game, the Chinese team did not take too much rest. They rested for a night and rushed to the Amazon Stadium the next day to prepare for the second round of the group stage a few days later.
The Chinese team will next fight with Cote d'Ivoire. The importance of this game is beyond doubt, and it will even directly determine the situation of qualifying for the group.
In the formation of this game, Gao Bo was no longer conservative. He directly formed a 4-3-3 formation, which was full of attack power.
Facing weaker opponents in the group stage, Gaobo is bound to win this game.
Today Chen Tao, Wang Chuhe, Zheng Zhi, Wu Lei, Yu Hai, Dong Fangzhuo and other stars are all on the stage, and the Chinese team is ready to go!
Domestic media are also looking forward to this game.
After losing to the Dutch team 2-3 in the last game, the fans were not disappointed by the loss, but had more confidence in the Chinese team.
The Dutch team is the favorite to win the World Cup, and the Chinese team can compete evenly with them, which makes Chinese fans full of confidence.
Next, facing Cote d'Ivoire, our country will definitely win!
With full confidence, the Chinese team entered their second game.
Almost everyone is optimistic about the Huaguo team, but Yun Sheng is still very worried.
Is Côte d'Ivoire weak?
Definitely not weak!
As the top team in Africa, Côte d'Ivoire has many top stars such as Drogba, Gervinho, and Yaya Toure. Even if it is not as star-studded as the Netherlands and England, Côte d'Ivoire cannot be underestimated.
Drogba, in particular, has maintained his top competitive status in the two seasons with Depor. With the current Chinese team's defense, except for Zhang Linpeng, it is difficult for other players to guard Drogba.
On the sidelines of the court, Drogba and Gervinho came to Yunsheng with great respect and greeted their mentor.
Yun Sheng also likes these two players very much. They were both important players under him.
But because of this, Yun Sheng was even more worried. Can the Chinese team's defense withstand such a standard striker combination of one tall and one fast?
Facts have proved that it is indeed difficult for the Chinese team's defensive players to withstand such an attacking combination...
In the 21st minute of the game, Gervinho used his super speed to get past the defense of three Chinese players and shot into the far corner of the goal in the penalty area. Zeng Cheng was unable to save and could only watch helplessly as the ball passed by. The ball spins in the net.
But it didn't take long for the Chinese team to equalize the score.
This time it was Yu Hai who broke through from the left and made a pass near the baseline. Dong Fangzhuo in the middle quickly moved forward, passed the defensive player by one position, and fired a volley from the line of the small penalty area. The ball hit the net!
1 to 1! The Chinese team equalized the score!
The two sides were tied in the first half, but changed sides and fought again in the second half.
Both teams' offense was very fierce, but the Chinese team was still more skilled.
In the 71st minute of the game, after continuous passes in the frontcourt, Wang Chuhe attracted the defensive attention of many opponents. He stuffed the ball out of the crowd. After Chen Tao received the ball, he volleyed from the top of the arc in the penalty area! The ball hit the net!
2 to 1! The Chinese team finally took the lead!
Chen Tao, who scored the leading goal, was extremely excited! He rushed to the Chinese fans' stands and celebrated the goal excitedly with his compatriots!
There are now 20 minutes left before the end of the game, and the Chinese team is about to usher in their first victory in the World Cup!
Li Feixiang and Shao Jiayi in the live broadcast room were also very happy, with their faces filled with joy and laughter.
Their good mood lasted for 20 minutes. In the first minute of injury time, all Chinese fans were disappointed again.
During a corner kick tactic in Cote d'Ivoire, Drogba received the pass in the penalty area. He jumped high, overwhelmed Zhang Linpeng and Feng Xiaoting, and smashed the ball into the net!
2 to 2! Cote d'Ivoire scored a stunning goal!
Drogba was so excited after scoring the key goal! He rushed to the bench and hugged his teammates and coach!
The captain of Ivory Coast rocked the Amazon Stadium!
Now that there was not much time left, the Chinese team seized the time to launch a fast break, but under the fierce defense of Cote d'Ivoire, it ultimately failed.
As the ball missed the goal, the referee's whistle sounded, and this fierce game ended.
The Chinese team failed to maintain the victory. They unfortunately received a draw and missed a good opportunity to win three points.
After two group matches, the Chinese team has one draw and one loss and has accumulated 1 point. The situation of qualifying for the group is getting increasingly slim. Now the future of the Chinese team is gloomy and in danger!
