host must win

Chapter 723 Yin Jun VSC Luo

The excellent opportunity that Gao Lin missed was the last scoring opportunity for the Chinese team in the first half, and it was also the last excellent scoring opportunity for the Chinese team in this game.

In the second half of the game, Ecuador strengthened its offense, but the defense of the Chinese team was very solid.Especially the central defender Zheng Zhi, who was very brave in the defense line, led the defense line to block the impact of Ecuador again and again.

The Chinese team used defensive counterattack tactics to deal with Ecuador, and got a lot of offensive opportunities, but because the striker's ability to grasp the opportunities was really poor, they failed to grasp a single opportunity.

Of course, the Chinese team did not have another chance to calmly kick the empty goal like Gao Lin did.

Yin Jun, as Ecuador's key defensive target, has always been surrounded by heavy defenses. In addition, he is more organized in the midfield to pass the ball, so apart from the chance to score, he has very few shots. After a while, he also failed to score the second goal of the game.

However, in the end, the Chinese team still relied on Yin Jun's goal to beat Ecuador 1:0. They had the last laugh in this dark horse duel. When they qualified for the World Cup for the second time, they reached the quarterfinals!

The Chinese team is also the third team to reach the quarter-finals after the host Germany and the South American powerhouse Argentina.

All the Chinese fans are cheering and celebrating, celebrating the Chinese team's glory in the World Cup!
Almost all Chinese players were praised, except Gao Lin.The center forward, who just turned 20, received a lot of criticism and pressure because of that missed shot.

Fortunately, the Chinese team finally won this game, otherwise, Gao Lin would definitely be labeled as a sinner for the national team's loss and exit, even worse than Shao Jiayi, who received a red card shortly after coming off the bench in the last World Cup.

Even so, the fans still couldn't let go of Gao Lin's failure to score this time. There were many stalks related to this shot on the Internet, such as "my 80-year-old grandma can do it", "Gao Ji" and so on. .

And Alihan also discovered Gao Lin's most obvious shortcoming in this game, that is, his shooting is really bad, and his grasp of opportunities is even worse!

………………

Although Gao Lin's performance received a lot of criticism, but under the environment of the Chinese team's promotion to the quarterfinals, the momentum was much smaller, and the pressure on Gao Lin was much less because of this, and the Chinese team quickly invested four points. One of the final preparations to go.

According to the rules of the World Cup, the opponent of the Chinese team in the quarter-finals will be the winner between Portugal and the Netherlands.

And these two teams, no matter who advances, are so strong that they are almost invincible opponents for the Chinese team!

Before the start of the World Cup, the Dutch team ranked third in the world, and Portugal also ranked in the top ten, ranking seventh!

However, the match between Portugal and the Netherlands will not start until tonight, 6 hours later than the match of the Chinese team.When the match of the Chinese team ended, there were still four hours before the start of the match between Portugal and the Netherlands!
When the Chinese team returned to the hotel, packed their luggage, boarded the team bus, and rushed from Stuttgart to Dortmund, the venue for the quarter-finals, the match between Portugal and the Netherlands had just started.

The Chinese team almost watched the match between Portugal and the Netherlands on the bus. The distance from Stuttgart to Dortmund was nearly 400 kilometers, and the bus ran for three hours.

The final score of this game was the same as the match between the Chinese team and Ecuador, 1:0. The Portuguese was the final winner, but the process left the Chinese team dumbfounded.

………………

The Portuguese took the lead in the 23rd minute of the game, but before the end of the first half, the Portuguese midfielder Costinha was sent off with 2 yellow cards.After the start of the second half, due to poor control of the referee Ivanov, the scene fell into chaos many times since then. Boulahrouz, Deco and Van Bronckhorst were sent off one after another.

The 4 red cards in this game set a new World Cup single-game record, and the 16 yellow cards also tied the single-game yellow card record created by Germany against Cameroon in 2002.

尽管还剩12场比赛，但本届世界杯红牌总数已经达到23张，刷新了1998年法国世界杯的纪录(22张)。黄牌总数则达到291张，同样改写了4年前韩日世界杯的纪录(272张)。葡萄牙和荷兰两队贡献最大，分别吃到2红18黄和2红16黄。

Although the various fancy cards of the two teams shocked the Chinese players, what refreshed the three views of the Chinese players in the team was also the Dutch's flying tackle on the field, so the Portuguese's various delaying tactics on the field.

Cristiano Ronaldo VS Arjen Robben, the duel between the two talented flying wings is a highlight of the Portuguese-Netherlands battle. Both of them have gorgeous footwork and a deadly blow. In the previous group stage, both of them also played for the team. Contributed a goal.It's a pity that this "flying wing duel" only lasted 33 minutes. After that, the fans only saw Ronaldo's tragic tears and Robben's solo dance.

The Dutchman's fierce tackle on Ronaldo began in the second minute. Ronaldo dribbled the ball and broke through. Van Bommel saw the opponent break through and trip the Portuguese from behind.The referee showed Van Bommel a yellow card, but he failed to "fend off" the black foot for Ronaldo. Five minutes later, Ronaldo was about to catch the ball, and the Dutch defender Boulah Luz who was defending him kicked him on the thigh. Poor Ronaldo immediately fell to the ground, and the TV camera clearly captured the studs on his leg by the opponent. Bloodstains kicked out.

The team doctor wrapped a thick bandage on his thigh. Judging from Ronaldo's painful and slightly desperate expression at the time, he may have realized that he could not hold on for too long.

The "temptation" of the World Cup supported Ronaldo to return to the court. Although his running was not very flexible, he had to leave the field regrettably after persisting for half an hour.

And in the second half of the game, it was the experienced Portuguese fancy show delaying tactics, which made the Chinese team players who had just finished the game feel ashamed of their performance in the second half of the game against Ecuador-we are still too young, even It's okay; and proud - we're real people!
………………

With Portugal beating the Netherlands to enter the quarter-finals, the Chinese team's opponent in the quarter-finals has also been announced: Guoguoya!
People began to look forward to the duel between Yin Jun and Ronaldo, teammates and friends of the Manchester United club, in the World Cup!

During the group stage, Yin Jun had used his perfect performance to repel a lot of his club teammates-England was squeezed to the second place in the group, and then was eliminated by the German team in the quarter-finals, including Wayne Rooney, Many Manchester United teammates, including Ferdinand and Gary Neville, started their vacation early.

Now, it is time for Yin Jun to face his other teammate and friend Ronaldo, but it is not optimistic whether the two can meet in the arena.
