Chapter 327
6月21日23:00，2018年世界杯C组次轮第二场比赛，华国队在萨马拉竞技场对阵丹麦。

Denmark defeated Peru in the first round, Hua Guo and France shook hands and made peace; the two sides had three warm-up matches in the past 11 years, and Denmark scored 3 wins and 2 fight.

丹麦近16场各项赛事取得9胜7平保持不败，而华国队也才刚刚打破了世界杯上的0进球和0得分记录。

Both sides know that this is a crucial battle to determine the qualifying places in Group C, so the faces of the players are quite serious, and the atmosphere on the field is also somewhat tense.

Even the old friends Zhang Mai and Schmeichel Jr. just exchanged simple greetings and went back to their respective positions.

The starting lists of the two teams were quickly played on the sidelines:
Denmark (4-2-3-1):

1 - Schmeichel;

14-Dalsko, 4-Kyle, 6-Christensen, 17-Larson;
19-Shener, 8-Draenei;
23-Sisto, 10-Erickson, 20-Poulsen;
9- Nikolai Jorgensen.

Huaguo (4-4-2):

1- Zeng Cheng;

2-Bi Jinhao, 6-Cai Huikang, 5-Zhang Linfan, 3-Feng Xiaoting;
10-Zheng Zhi, 4-Liu Jianye, 13-Zhang Mai, 18-Yin Hongbo;
11-Zhang Yulin, 20-Yu Dabao.

Eriksson continued to lead the starting lineup, and the Danish team still used the same starting lineup as in the previous game.

The Huaguo team made some adjustments in the midfield. Yin Hongbo and Yu Dabao, who have a tough style, replaced Wu Xi and Wu Lei in the starting game.

After the two sides had a brief opening warm-up, the game officially started.

Denmark had a frontcourt pressing strategy against Huaguo at the beginning. Huaguo was a bit confused by Denmark's opening three tricks, and was unable to play the ball for a while, and even Denmark couldn't pass the halftime.

Zhang Mai's solitary fighting and yelling did not help. The Chinese players who lacked actual combat experience in international competitions were overwhelmed by Denmark's frontcourt oppressive tactics.

After the start of the game, they played wildly, and scenes of muscle clashes occurred from time to time. Huaguo players other than Zhang Mai and Zhang Yulin suffered a lot.

In the 3rd minute, Sisto took a corner kick, Delaney's header went wide, and then Denmark got another corner kick, and Jorgensen's header in front of the small penalty area was over the crossbar.

In just 7 minutes of the game, the Danish team scored the first goal. Huaguo paid the price for its youth.

Schönner passed the ball, Jorgensen stopped the ball in the air and knocked across his instep. Eriksen received a ferry from his teammate in the penalty area and volleyed directly. Zeng Cheng was caught off guard and the ball went into the net. Denmark 1-0.

The Danish players were cheering and celebrating, while Zhang Mai was busy comforting and encouraging his slightly frustrated teammates.

"Team Zheng, I don't blame you for this ball. It's just Eriksson's extraordinary performance. You just need to continue to increase the pressure on him."

As the game progressed, the other players of the Huaguo team gradually regained their strength, and started a head-to-head confrontation with Denmark.

Hua Guo's passive situation has improved, but Denmark has continued to control the situation on the field, and it has played several attacks.

In the 16th minute, Sisto's long shot from 30 yards was confiscated by Zeng Cheng.

Denmark wasted a chance in the 24th minute. Dalsko made a cross from the right, and Jorgensen rushed to the edge of the small penalty area and missed.

After the 30th minute, the Huaguo team finally started to counterattack, and they also had their own offensive intermittently.

In the 33rd minute, Zhang Mai made consecutive breakthroughs in the middle, and finally gave the ball to Zhang Yulin at the front of the penalty area. The latter got rid of the close defense and shot, slightly higher than the crossbar.

In the 38th minute, the Hua Guo team got a chance for the second attack. Zhang Mai scored a header from 12 yards in the corner kick and hit Poulsen. The referee was reminded by the video referee to check the video and awarded a penalty. Mai personally took the penalty and made a low shot.

1-1!The Huaguo team, which survived the passive start, finally relied on Zhang Mai's penalty kick to equalize the score.

Poulsen of the Danish team is also considered unlucky. He sent two penalties in 2 games. He accumulated two yellow cards and will miss the final round of the group stage.

The game continued, and after being equalized by Huaguo's penalty kick, Denmark's morale was affected, and the pressing intensity began to decline.

In the 41st minute, Eriksson deflected a free kick from the right. Feng Xiaoting blocked the ball from a long distance and almost scored an own goal. Zeng Cheng confiscated the ball in time.

The morale of the Chinese team was boosted, and they attacked Denmark one after another, but the Danish team did not have the upper hand in physical confrontation, and the gate was frequently threatened.

In the 44th minute, the Hua Guo team's "" showed an exquisite frontcourt cooperation, and once again tore open the gate guarded by Schmeichel.

Zhang Mai received a pass from the backcourt of the Hua Guo team, broke into the Danish penalty area after eating raw, and played near Zhang Yulin's penalty spot, which attracted Christensen and Kyle to defend the backheel pass. The foot exploded, and the ball passed through the crotch of Schmeichel, who had abandoned the goal, and got into the net.

2-1!Hua Guo overtook Denmark before the end of the first half, and the Hua Guo fans stood up and cheered again.

In the 46th minute, Denmark almost succeeded in a counterattack. Eriksson made a cross, but Larsson's header was still confiscated by Zeng Cheng.

The first half of the game ended soon, and the two sides ended up 2-1. If it weren't for Eriksson's outstanding performance at the beginning, Denmark would probably fall behind by two goals in the first half.

During the intermission, Lippi praised the players for their fighting spirit in the first half, but he also made preparations for substitutions in the second half in time.

The atmosphere in the lagging Denmark locker room was much more tense, and coach Hared was busy arranging the offense in the second half.

The game continued after the break, and surprisingly, neither side made any adjustments in the second half.

But the Danish team was more eager to equalize the score and accelerated their offensive rhythm very early.

In the 48th minute, Jorgensen still passed the ball with his heel, but Sisto's shot before the penalty point missed the right post slightly.

In the 53rd minute, Huaguo counterattacked sharply and almost widened the gap, but Yu Dabao, who was eager to make a contribution, let the plane go.

In the 60th minute, Braithwaite replaced Poulsen.

After that, the situation became a stalemate, and Denmark successively sent Braithwaite and Cornelius to strengthen the attack.

In the 68th minute, Schmeichel Jr. made a mistake. Zhang Mai crossed from the right side of the penalty area and passed between Schmeichel's legs.

The Danish team, which had been unable to attack for a long time, made mistakes one after another. In the 74th minute, the Danish midfielder had a gap.

In the 77th minute, the Danish team got a chance. Cornelius passed the ball, and Sisto shot a curved ball from the edge of the penalty area and missed the right post.

In the 82nd minute, Zheng Zhi injured his right shoulder and was replaced by Wu Xi. Yin Hongbo retreated to the midfielder position, and the Huaguo team's defense became more and more handy.

In the 85th minute, Yu Dabao was replaced by Wu Lei, and then Zhang Mai passed the ball in the middle. Wu Lei, who had just played, shot from a small angle on the left side of the penalty area and was saved by Schmeichel.

Near the end of the game, the Danish army, unwilling to fail, pressed forward, giving the Chinese team an excellent chance to counterattack.

In the 89th minute, Denmark's attack was cleared by the Huaguo defender with a big foot. The ball fell to the feet of midfielder Zhang Mai, and the Huaguo team launched a quick counterattack.

After receiving the ball from the left, Wu Lei quickly made a pass from the bottom. Zhang Yulin volleyed from 12 yards and was blocked by Schmeichel.

3-1!The Huaguo team expanded its lead, and the hopeless Denmark finally gave up its last struggle, and the game ended shortly after.

Huaguo finally defeated the "fairy tale kingdom" Denmark 3-1, leading France with a goal difference, ranking first in Group C, and the qualifying situation is very good.

And Denmark, which has accumulated 3 points with one win and one loss in two games, is forced to fight against France in the final round. Only by defeating the mighty France can it be possible to qualify.
