Chapter 736 The Moon Scimitar Reappears
There is not much time left in the game, and the coaches of both sides are already preparing for overtime. However, Portugal, which has superior strength, does not want to drag the game into overtime, or even a brutal penalty shootout.

The Portuguese still hope to beat the Chinese team in nine 10 minutes and advance to the semi-finals!
Therefore, in the last few minutes of the game, the Portuguese launched an unprecedentedly violent offensive, almost suppressing the Chinese team in the penalty area.

However, the Chinese players who tied the score were full of confidence and morale. While defending well, they resolutely played Portugal's quick counterattack when they had the opportunity.

In such a fast-paced offense and defense, Yin Jun performed particularly well.His super ball control and breakthrough ability have become the sharp sword of the Chinese team's quick counterattack, threatening Portugal's defense time and time again.

………………

Yin Jun dribbled the ball again, and it was still two Portuguese players who came up to defend him, one was Portuguese captain Figo, and the other was former Newcastle midfielder Hugo Viana who came off the bench.

Viana's football career began with the Portuguese powerhouse Sporting Lisbon. In the 2001-2002 season, he was promoted to the first team and performed well. As a result, at the age of 19, he was signed by the then Premier League powerhouse Newcastle United Football Club for 1275 million euros. The highest transfer fee record for a player under the age of 20 in English football, but this record was immediately broken by Yin Jun, who transferred to Manchester United for 1000 million pounds.

Viana has repeatedly thanked coach Robson for his appreciation because of the high price Newcastle paid for him.However, he did not adapt to English football during his time at Newcastle United. Since he could only serve as a reserve, he was loaned back to Sporting Lisbon.During his time at Newcastle, he even attacked Robson because he didn't get enough opportunities to play.

If Yin Jun faced such a situation in the first half, he would definitely pass the ball out immediately to avoid being surrounded.But this time, Yin Jun did not spread the football immediately.He just made a fake move to pass the ball and still controlled the football at his feet.

Although Viana is not tall, he has good core strength, and he is besieging Yin Jun with Captain Figo, so he took the initiative to find a physical confrontation with Yin Jun.However, although Yin Jun was knocked to one side, his feet seemed to be covered with glue, and he still firmly controlled the football.

Yin Jun's position to control the ball is on the side. Now he is protecting the football to avoid the opponent's interception, and he slowly came to the middle.

Seeing that there was no way to stop Yin Jun's ball in a short time, Viana was a little impatient.Especially several times when he saw that he could poke the football away by stretching out his feet, he did not expect that the tall Yin Jun was even faster than him, and repeatedly grabbed the football in front of him and pulled it away again.

………………

In the defense of two people, Yin Jun pulled the football back and forth, and he was able to ensure that the football was not lost, and his skills were really good.

But no matter how amazing it is, it is difficult to keep it safe after being besieged by the opponent for a long time.So when Portuguese captain Figo, one of the two players besieging Yin Jun, hit Yin Jun's crotch hard, and at the same time pressed Yin Jun down hard with his arm, and then stretched out his foot to steal the ball, this time Yin Jun Couldn't pull the football away before he did.

The football was stabbed out by Figo.

Just when Figo was happy, he heard a piercing whistle.He went to pay attention to Yin Jun again, and found that the other party had already collapsed beside him.

Uruguayan referee Larionda ran over and told him: "You fouled!"

Figo was very surprised. He felt that he had used a little more force than before. Why did he make a foul?

However, he didn't argue with the referee, but the place where the foul was committed was a little closer to the goal, and it was a bit upright, which made Figo's heart beat.He knows that Yin Jun's free kick is very strong, and he can be called the free kick master in the world football.It is still very dangerous to give him a free kick in this position.

"Figo fouled Yin Jun. This is indeed a foul. His action has already broken away from the scope of a reasonable collision... Especially the action on his hand is an important basis for the referee to judge him for a foul! If he didn't stretch out his hand Maybe it's okay, but if he stretched, it was a foul... I guess it was because he couldn't grab the ball from Yin Jun's feet for a long time, and he became a little angry..." He Wei seemed to be afraid that others would say that Yin Jun was a flop, and hurriedly looked at it from various angles. Help Yin Jun prove that the other party has indeed committed a foul.

………………

Yin Jun was pulled up by his teammate Dong Fangzhuo.

"Are you okay?" Dong Fangzhuo asked with concern.

"It's okay, it's okay." Yin Jun shook his head and looked around for the football at the same time.

At this moment, Yan Song stuffed the football into his arms and said, "Here, here it is."

None of the players of the Chinese team went to the referee to reason and put pressure on it, which surprised Figo who fouled.The referee didn't even give a verbal warning for his foul just now. He thought that the Chinese players would go up to the referee to ask for a yellow card or something.It turned out not to be. Seeing Yan Song's expression, he smiled back.

Even Yin Jun, who was fouled, didn't have an angry or helpless expression on his face, and looked very relaxed, which really made him a little confused.

Figo shook his head, stepped back and lined up with his teammates.

The human wall was quickly set up. Because it was facing the goal, there were as many as seven people in the human wall, and the area in front of the goal was blocked by the opportunity.

Figo stood side by side with his teammates in the human wall, and he felt very safe: in this human wall, there are Meera, who is over 1.9 meters tall, and Ronaldo, who is very tall, and himself, or very reliable.

Opposite him, Yin Jun has already set up the football.

………………

"The Chinese team won a direct free kick. This free kick is about 20 meters away from the goal. Yin Jun is going to take the penalty. The position is very upright, but the distance is a little short, which is not Yin Jun's good position..."

Seeing that the wall had been set up, the referee Larionda blew his whistle.

I saw that Yin Jun, who was standing behind the football, did not shoot directly when he heard the whistle, but took a step back, then suddenly stepped forward, and kicked the football with his right foot at the same time.

Seeing this, Figo and his teammates jumped up and increased the height of the wall, but they failed to touch the football.

Figo felt the wind from the football as it passed over his head, so close, as if he could block it, but he didn't actually touch it.

Then he looked back and saw the football spinning in the net in the goal.

The football draws an arc in the air, passing over the head of the Portuguese team's human wall. Because the height is very low, the goalkeeper's sight is blocked by the human wall at first. He knows that he will not see the football until it passes the human wall. It was as if the rising sun suddenly jumped up from below the sea level.

Portugal goalkeeper Ricardo made another save, but it was too late, the football flew into the goal!
