In the locker room, the Chinese players were a little anxious.
Zhang Linpeng and Feng Xiaoting were chatting about the ball they had just conceded, and Huang Bowen asked Deng Zhuoxiang about Messi's ball-handling habits in La Liga.
When he walked into the locker room and saw this scene, Yun Sheng, who had been frowning just now, suddenly smiled.
"Boys, I'm very pleased. Although we are three goals behind, I don't see frustration and despair on your faces, but I see the spirit of not admitting defeat! This is good!"
"We did well in the first half of the game. We were evenly matched with Argentina. It was not Argentina that took the lead in the first half, but Messi alone. Zhang Chengdong and Yu Hai defended Di Maria and Aguero very well. If not With Messi, they simply can't have this advantage."
"In the second half of the game, I have to make some adjustments. And more importantly, I am going to replace two of Messi's old friends. Huang Bowen and Gao Lin, you performed well in the first half. Now come down and rest. Next We still need you in the knockout rounds.”
"Our tactics remained basically unchanged in the second half. The only changes were in the midfield and backcourt. Yu Hai and Zhang Chengdong, you attack boldly. Zhang Linpeng, you are responsible for sweeping around the penalty area."
Hearing this, Zhang Linpeng frowned, thought about it, and couldn't help but ask: "What about Messi? It was difficult for us to keep track of him in the first half."
Yun Sheng smiled: "Someone took care of Messi in the second half. The name 'Butcher of Depor' is not for nothing."
At the beginning of the second half of the game, the Chinese team directly used two substitutions.
Wu Lei, who returned from injury, replaced Gao Lin and continued to strengthen the offense.
Wu Lei's club teammate Cai Huikang came on and Huang Bowen came off.
Wu Lei's appearance shocked all Chinese fans!
You must know that in this Chinese team, Wu Lei is the only star who has won the Golden Globe Award!
If you look at personal honors alone, he has surpassed Chen Tao and become the number one star in China!
Messi was able to score three goals in the first half, and now our Wu Lei has no problem!
All Chinese players are looking forward to Wu Lei!
Just two minutes into the second half, Wu Lei made all Chinese fans excited!
"Wang Chuhe's wonderful through ball! Dong Fangzhuo sprinted straight with the ball!"
"Argentina's two central defenders attacked! Dong Fangzhuo hit the ball across the right! Deng Zhuoxiang didn't stop the ball and passed it to the back point!"
"The ball passed in front of Caballero! Wu Lei inserted it at high speed! He easily poked the ball from behind!"
"The ball went in!!!"
"This is a wonderful cooperation between the Chinese Trident!"
"1 to 3! The Chinese team got a point back, they still have a chance!"
Less than five minutes after Wu Lei scored the opening goal, the Chinese team got another excellent opportunity!
This time it was Dong Fangzhuo's breakthrough in the penalty area. He was pulled down by Perez who was chasing after him!
It's a penalty! no doubt! The referee's gestures and whistles are obvious!
Chinese fans are excited!
Dong Fangzhuo handed the ball to Wu Lei: "Brother, your feet feel good today. I'll give it to you."
Wu Lei was not polite, took the ball and put it on the penalty spot.
Faced with the huge boos from the Argentinian fans behind the goal, Wu Lei looked expressionless as he watched Caballero swaying from side to side on the goal line.
The whistle blows, take a few steps back, speed up, volley!
The ball went in! ! !
The ball went straight into the lower right corner of the goal! Wu Lei's footwork is extremely precise!
2 to 3! The Chinese team scored another goal, and now they are about to equalize!
At this time, in the live broadcast room in Italy, Di Livio and Vieri were also paying attention to the game.
Now Croatia and Italy are still 0-0. Whenever the score changes in another game, they temporarily switch the screen and play the goal video.
Seeing Wu Lei score twice, Vieri suddenly felt a little emotional: "Wu Lei's shot just now is very similar to that of my good friend Philippe. The Chinese Golden Gopher boy deserves to be Philippe's disciple. Now he even shoots with style."
Di Livio, who was on the sidelines, was more concerned about the score: "The current situation is not necessarily a good thing for Italy. If Italy and China both win, then it depends on the goal difference, but if Argentina wins, they will still win." There is one goal less than Italy, so we still hope that the Chinese team will not score again, although saying this is a bit sorry for coach Yun Sheng..."
Perhaps it was Di Livio's prayers that worked, and soon the Argentine team took advantage of the situation.
After being beaten early in the second half, Argentina, led by Messi, quickly recovered.
Aguero and Di Maria's two consecutive attacks were very threatening. If it weren't for Yan Junling's wonderful save, Argentina's lead might have been even greater.
The Argentinian fans were very excited, they saw the hope of winning! After all, the Italian team hasn't scored yet!
But they also discovered a problem-Messi was locked!
Since Cai Huikang came on the court, he has only one thing - to follow Messi.
Just now, Messi wanted to use his speed to get rid of Cai Huikang, but he was closely followed by Cai Huikang, and finally forced the shot to miss.
Messi looked helplessly at Cai Huikang, who followed him closely with an expressionless face.
This is how Cai Huikang defended him in La Liga.
In today's international football, Cai Huikang has been recognized as one of the best man-marking defensive players!
In La Liga, top offensive players such as Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Griezmann are all very reluctant to meet Cai Huikang. This guy always runs without hesitation, and his defense is absolutely ruthless!
Since Cai Huikang came on the scene, Messi has almost no threatening shots and passes. He has been completely targeted!
On the sidelines of the court, Sun Jihai said with emotion: "This guy is very similar to Kante from Leeds United. He can't escape."
Yun Sheng nodded: "Yes, if it were not for the cooperation of the three Musketeers of Arsenal, I would actually prefer to let Cai Huikang start. In this game, Huang Bowen was not very adaptable to Messi's style of play, and suffered a loss. With such a top goal-scoring star, Cai Huikang should be allowed to appear!"
Messi was locked up, Argentina's offensive strength dropped sharply, the Chinese team's defensive pressure decreased, and the full-back assists became more and more fierce.
In the 74th minute of the game, Zhang Chengdong suddenly penetrated forward from the right and instantly penetrated Argentina's defense!
In the stands, Zanetti, who has retired, stared at Zhang Chengdong with keen eyes, staring at his Inter Milan heir.
Argentina is in danger!
Facing Banega's attack, Zhang Chengdong continued to accelerate after a cross-stroke, and Wang Chuhe kept passing the ball back! Wonderful one-two matchup!
At an oblique position of 45 degrees, Zhang Chengdong passed the long pass to the left side of the penalty area without hesitation!
Wu Lei plugs in at high speed! Left foot volleyed and shot!
The ball went in! ! !
3 to 3! The Chinese team finally equalized the score!
Zhang Chengdong pumped his fist and roared excitedly!
The Hua Guo team has more than one full-back who can attack in Yu Hai! I, Zhang Chengdong, am the best right back in the world!
Wu Lei, who scored the goal, rushed into the net and ran back with the ball!
He didn't have time to celebrate his hat trick, he still had to score! Keep scoring goals!
