Champion’s Heart

Chapter 42 Making up for one’s faults

When Thiago Silva jumped up to head the ball, there were people in front of him, blocking his header path. As a result, Silva rubbed the football to the back point.

This caught the Chinese team's defense by surprise, and also caught Yan Min by surprise.

Originally, with his height and header ability, he did not need to return to the goal to defend, and no one expected him to play a big role in defense. He came back purely out of a sense of responsibility.

As a result, he made mistakes when he came back.

The football that Silva came towards was blocked into his own goal!

When the football flew into the goal, the Brazilian commentator shouted excitedly: The ball is scored!! David Ruiz!! David Ruiz! He opened the scoring for the Brazilian team! This is what he scored for Brazil. The first goal in 40 games for the national team!”

Everything happened so fast at that time that the commentator in the stands could not see it clearly. He thought it was David Ruiz who scored.

He Ping thought so too: This goal is dangerous... David Ruiz! Oops! The ball was scored...

After scoring the goal, David Ruiz's wild celebration also made everyone think that he scored the goal.

But on the Chinese team's side, Yan Min was kneeling on the ground, holding his head in his hands - he knew clearly that he couldn't lie to himself, he blocked the ball, it was an own goal...

The entire Mineiro Stadium was filled with cheers from Brazilian fans, like a roaring mountain and a tsunami.

To Yan Min, the cheers from the Brazilian fans sounded like a mockery of him, which made him even more uncomfortable.

All the Brazilian players ran to David Ruiz to celebrate the goal, while the Chinese players were stunned in front of the goal. Unexpectedly, they lost the goal less than twenty minutes into the game.

This goal loss was so unexpected. There was no warning before, which made it difficult for them to accept it for a while.

At this time, Zhou Yi walked to Yan Min and rubbed his hair with his hands: Get up, don't kneel. It's not your fault. Even if you don't block it, David Ruiz can Get the football in.

Hearing what Zhou Yi said, Yan Min raised his head and looked at Zhou Yi. He knew that Zhou Yi knew that this was an own goal.

There are always various accidents in the game, so there is no need to take it to heart.

Then Zhou Yi turned around and shouted to his teammates: The game has only started twenty minutes.

We still have time and opportunity, don't give up! Stay calm and collected! Their goal was an accident and does not represent the difference in strength between us and them!

Sun Pan also came up and patted Yan Min on the shoulder. Although he didn't say anything, this action was enough to explain his attitude.

At the same time, the TV broadcast also showed the slow motion of the Brazilian team's goal. In the picture, everyone can clearly see that Yan Min raised his leg to block the ball...

Alas...this is an own goal... He Ping sighed weakly. Yan Min subconsciously raised his foot to block the ball, but unexpectedly blocked the ball into his own goal due to the interference of David Luiz... Yan Min had good intentions, but it was not helpful... …But there’s nothing we can do about it. If he didn’t take a shot, or if he wasn’t there at all, the goal would still have been scored, but David Ruiz would have scored it instead…”

The Brazilian commentator also saw it clearly: Own goal! The Chinese team scored an own goal! Their luck is really bad... But it seems inevitable. When Yan Min raised his leg to defend, Ruiz was behind him , so no matter what he does, he can't escape the goal. The Brazilian team's continuous attack after the opening finally paid off, which is a good sign. The Brazilian team should make persistent efforts after taking the lead, continue to attack, and strive to win in a short time Expand your lead within a few seconds and completely defeat your opponent!

The Brazilian fans sang and danced in the stands to celebrate the goal, while the Chinese fans, who were at an absolute disadvantage in terms of numbers, could only remain silent. They were also hit hard by the loss of the goal. Because Brazilian football has always given people a strong impression, many Chinese fans are a little afraid and worried when their team plays against Brazil. They are always worried about conceding the ball first. In their view, if they conced the ball first, it will be over. , facing the powerful Brazilian team, it will be difficult for the Chinese team to come back.

They hope that the Chinese team will score first after the game starts. Only in this way can they feel safe.

There are also many insecure Chinese fans on the Internet who are depressed and unhappy with Yan Min's own goal.

Yan Min, Yan Min, sometimes he is quite aggressive, and sometimes he is like a fool. What can I say about him? When will he learn to be calm and steady?

When I saw him playing in Dortmund, he was always so careless and hopeless...

※※※

The Brazilian players finally ended their celebration and returned to their own half. At this time, the Chinese team players have already stood in their respective positions.

He Ying and Gao Lin stood in the center circle with footballs under their feet, waiting for the kick-off.

Behind them, Zhou Yi raised his arms and raised a finger: It's just one goal behind, let's get back!

The Brazilians couldn't understand what he said in Chinese. Otherwise, they would definitely laugh at Zhou Yi's nonsense.

Get a goal back?

That's easy to say!

We, Brazil, are taking the lead. Is it so easy to come back?

※※※

After the game restarted, the Brazilian team's offensive continued unabated.

In the 25th minute, Neymar dribbled the ball forward, getting rid of the defense of Yang Muge and Feng Xiaoting along the way. However, when he entered the penalty area, he was entangled by Guo Nu. Continuous breakthroughs made Neymar at the end of his strength. Under Guo Nu's personal interference, his push had no power and lost its accuracy. Finally, it slowly missed the right post and did not threaten the goal guarded by Sun Pan. .

Although there was no threat, the Brazilian fans in the stands still applauded and cheered Neymar's performance.

The Brazilian commentator was even more excited: Neymar passed two people in a row, and it was as if he was in no one's land! The Chinese team's defense was simply vulnerable to his attack! If this continues, the second goal will still be very fast. Coming!”

However, when the game reached the 30th minute, eleven minutes had passed since the Brazilian team's last goal, but the second goal still had not arrived.

However, the Chinese team withstood the Brazilian team's offense during this period, and its offense began to improve slowly.

In the 31st minute, when the Chinese team attacked on the left side of the frontcourt, Yan Min accidentally stopped the football ten meters from the bottom line, which caused the shoe fans in the stands to shout. A burst of laughter.

Yan Min, who helped the Brazilian team take the lead, is probably almost a clown in the eyes of these Brazilian fans. There were also Brazilian fans on the sideline who shouted to Yan Min, Thank you! Thank you!

Thanks to his own goal, and thanks to his mistake in stopping the ball, he returned possession of the ball to the Brazilian team.

Although Yan Min didn't understand Portuguese, he still knew what the other party's laughter meant. The own goal made him very, very unhappy and sad, and the Brazilian fans' laughter was more like spreading on his wounds. Salt.

He pursed his lips tightly to prevent the crown of his teeth from being exposed.

The Brazilian team's right back Alves went to throw the ball, and Oscar retreated to respond.

Yan Min did not retreat, but stared at Oscar not far away.

Alves threw the football to Oscar.

Oscar originally wanted to pass the football directly to Alves, but when the football flew towards him, he suddenly hesitated because there was no one behind him and Yan Min was on his side. He could have stopped the football. Come down and then turn around and move forward. He is still confident in his skills in this regard.

But with such hesitation, when the football flew in front of him, he had not yet decided whether to stop the ball or pass it.

This hesitation caused him to make mistakes when handling the ball, and he didn't know whether he stopped the ball too much or passed the ball too small...

In short, after the football hit his feet, it neither fell down and stopped at his feet, nor did it fly out and roll to Alves' feet.

Instead, it fell towards a position between the two that made them both embarrassed.

Yan Min, who was next to him, was like a falcon swooping down to catch its prey. He rushed forward with a single stride. Before Oscar and Alves could react, he had already intercepted the football!

Yan Min! Successful counterattack in the frontcourt!

Although Yan Min grabbed the ball, his subsequent situation was not very good. There was Alves in front of him and Oscar behind him. As long as he hesitated a little, there would be no room to get the ball.

After Yan Min, who is good at dribbling, intercepted the ball, he did not dribble the ball himself. Instead, without hesitation, he swept the football directly into the Brazilian team's penalty area with his left foot.

Opportunity! He Ping shouted.

Because he saw an obvious opening.

This gap is so huge because the Brazilian team is not prepared to defend the ball in the backcourt at all - the possession of the ball is on their own side, so what should they defend?

Before clearing the ball, Thiago Silva ran outside the penalty area and came up to give Alves, who was throwing the throw, another option for the ball. In order to pressure him, He Ying got close to him. go.

At the same time, David Ruiz is still near the penalty spot, which is where he should be, so there is a huge gap of about 20 meters between him and Thiago Silva...

And this space is Yan Min's passing target!

At the same time, when Yan Min grabbed the ball, Zhou Yi suddenly started from where he was and accelerated towards the empty space in the penalty area.

His forward thrust was so sudden that Fernandinho, who was beside him, didn't even react. When he saw Zhou Yi's figure, he was already left behind...

When Zhou Yi ran into the space, Yan Min's pass had also arrived.

At this time, David Ruiz hurriedly came up to block it. Zhou Yi didn't give him a chance to block himself. He didn't stop the ball and shot directly with his foot!

The football was shot in an arc by the outside instep of his left foot, bypassing David Ruiz and Cesar who came out to block the angle, and flew in from the far corner of the goal!

Ahhhhhhh! He Ping screamed excitedly. Good goal! Good goal! Good goal! The Chinese team equalized the score! Zhou Yi scored! This is his first goal in the World Cup!! The key goal! Both sides are back on the same starting line!

When Zhou Yi's football flew into the goal, there were only cheers from Chinese fans in the entire Mineiro Stadium. Their voices were very clear because the vast majority of Brazilian fans were stunned - they did not expect to lose the ball. It was so sudden, from Oscar's mistake in stopping the ball to the final goal, the whole process did not take more than five seconds.
