Griezmann scored the first goal, and the French team played more steadily.
Although they had a lot of attacking power in this cup, they never made any rash advances.
Stability comes first and efficiency is king, which has been the guiding strategy for this French team until now.
Now that Griezmann has scored in this way, not only the morale of the players is high, but their offense and defense are more orderly.
Facing the immovable duo of the central defenders and the iron triangle of the world's best defensive midfielder, it was extremely difficult for the Chinese team to score a goal.
In the 33rd minute of the game, the Chinese team launched a wonderful cooperation from the left.
Faced with the dilemma in the midfield and frontcourt, Yu Hai boldly stepped forward again!
Used speed to get past club teammate Pogba!
Give it to Wang Chuhe! Wang Chuhe plays the ball directly forward!
Yu Hai was very fast and caught the ball! Wonderful one-two!
With Wu Lei in front of him and Chen Tao beside him, he can continue to dribble forward by himself. The French team's defensive pressure is extremely heavy.
Just past the center circle, Yu Hai did not continue to dribble the ball or make a short pass. He passed the ball long distance!
The ball goes straight into the penalty area!
Zhang Yuning attracted the French double central defender! But the ball bypassed three people and flew straight to the back point!
Manchester United teammate Dong Fangzhuo intervened at high speed! He ditched Hernandez!
Easy header! The ball went in! ! !
1 to 1! The Chinese team used a continuous cooperation from the left to wonderfully equalize the score!
Shao Jiayi in the live broadcast room applauded vigorously and was full of praise for Yu Hai's pass!
"The cooperation between Yu Hai and Dong Fangzhuo, who are wearing red jerseys, makes me seem to see the cooperation between Beckham and Ruud Ruud! Just switched to the left!"
"Yu Hai's pass is amazing! Dong Fangzhuo's running is also world-class! The two Manchester United players contributed a textbook 45-degree cross and grabbed a goal! It's wonderful!"
Now both sides are back on the same starting line.
Not long after the Chinese team scored, they counterattacked again and almost blasted away the French team's goal.
Wang Chuhe made a sudden long-range shot, but Lori flew to save it and swept it out of the net with his fingertips.
Although the Chinese team was given a corner kick, the French team was lucky enough to escape.
However, their happiness did not last long...
"Chen Tao took the corner kick and the ball went straight to the center of the penalty area!"
"Dong Fangzhuo, who was in the front, was entangled by Giroud, and neither of them had time to take off!"
"Zhang Linpeng and Zheng Zhi were entangled with the two French central defenders, but neither of them touched the ball!"
"Zhang Yuning, who was playing from behind, jumped high and won the ball! The ball went in!!!"
"It turns out that everyone else is just a cover, and Zhang Yuning is the real main attacker!"
"As a representative of China's new generation of centers, Zhang Yuning has shown the strength of the main forward who won five crowns!"
"2 to 1! The Chinese team overtook the score!"
The Chinese team scored from a corner kick, and now it was the Chinese players' turn to stabilize the situation.
But in the 44th minute of the game, the situation changed again.
During a French team's free kick in the frontcourt, Pogba accurately passed the ball into the penalty area. Giroud jumped high and smashed the ball into the net!
2 to 2! France equalized the score!
Giroud used his experience to take the lead in getting stuck in position, and even Zhang Linpeng and Zheng Zhi couldn't stop him from taking off.
At the last moment before the end of the first half, the French team tenaciously equalized, and they can go back to the locker room with a peaceful mind!
Morris, the commentator from Sky TV, applauded in the live broadcast room: "Leeds United center Zhang Yuning just scored a header, and now Chelsea center Giroud scored the goal. Not only did the English players perform well in this World Cup, but also the players from the Premier League. All performed at the top level.”
Raman on the side agreed: "Yes! Half of the players in the starting lineup of both sides today are from the Premier League. This further proves that the Premier League is the best league in the world!"
Two minutes later, the referee blew the half-time whistle, and the players on both sides were still a little unfinished.
This game is back and forth, the confrontation is very fierce, and the offensive efficiency of both sides is also extremely high.
And just as Shao Jiayi predicted, the two sides will definitely confront each other today!
After the start of the second half, the French team used the initial stage to attack the Chinese team.
But they didn't expect that when Pogba was in possession of the ball, China's veteran captain Zheng Zhi suddenly came out of the penalty area and intercepted the ball before Huang Bowen!
This caught the French team by surprise!
Zheng Zhi didn't hesitate and sent a long pass straight to Wu Lei in front!
At this time, Wu Lei pushed forward at high speed and successfully countered offside! Alone!
Lori attacked, Wu Lei calmly pushed the shot into the far corner! The ball went in! ! !
3 to 2! The Chinese team overtook the score again!
Now fans all over the world are paying attention to this game, in the live broadcast room of Italian Football Sports 3.
Vieri was full of praise for this goal: "The captain of AC Milan made a long pass, and Wu Lei scored an offside goal. At that moment, the two stars on the court wearing the red jerseys of China looked very much like Pirlo. And Inzaghi! A long pass is extremely accurate, and a running position is the best in the world! The performance of these two players is really wonderful!"
Di Livio also applauded repeatedly: "Although Italy did not qualify for the group stage, it is also a small honor for Italian football to see the AC Milan captain and the disciples of Italian legend Inzaghi jointly score goals in the World Cup final..."
It is now the 56th minute of the game. The Chinese team has not yet reached the point of clinging to victory. They have to continue to attack.
However, the Chinese team's defense is excellent, and the French team's defense is also top-notch.
Although Pogba and Kante partnered as a defensive midfielder in this game, Pogba and Matuidi would often exchange positions. They were called by Chinese fans as the top midfielder who "horses back the enemy". This cup is an all-around midfielder. Representative of the midfielder.
This game is even more so.
In the exchange between Wang Chuhe and Chen Tao, Kanter suddenly made a shovel, which affected the speed of the ball!
Matuidi acted decisively! The ball is broken!
The pass of the Chinese midfielder twins was actually intercepted. This is really rare in this cup!
After stealing the ball, Matuidi quickly moved forward along the left wing. Wang Chuhe was not as strong as him and was knocked away!
Facing Zhang Chengdong's defense, Matuidi did not push forward, he chose a cross pass!
Kanter gets the ball!
He had just fallen to the ground to shovel, but now he has reached the edge of the penalty area. Kanter's coverage area is the largest in the world!
Huang Bowen rushed to Kanter without hesitation! This pair of defensive midfielders, who have been tit-for-tat in the Premier League, have frequently faced each other in this game!
Kanter knew that dribbling and ball control were average, so he chose a cross pass again!
Pogba plugs in at high speed! He didn't stop the ball and volleyed directly from the top of the penalty area!
The ball went straight into the lower right corner of the goal!
Yan Junling was blocked from view by the players from both sides in front of him and had no time to react!
The ball went in!
3 to 3! The French team made a wonderful transition from defense to attack and equalized the score again!
