NO.1: China vs. Brazil (Popularity value: 187.32 million)
"..."

Perhaps due to excessive pressure, Lippi was seen strolling along the sidelines of the stadium, a rare occurrence for him.

In the warm-up match, China and Brazil played to a score of 1-4.

China didn't play seriously in the warm-up match, and Brazil played even less seriously.

So although there was experience from the warm-up matches, frankly speaking, that match wasn't very relevant.

Lippi just wants to figure out one thing right now.

So, is the reason Tite didn't start Marcelo because the player wasn't in good form?

Or was it because the Brazilian coach guessed what the Chinese team wanted to do?
"Brasil!" (Portuguese for Brazil)

William received the ball on the right wing, played a simple passing combination with his teammate, and then began his solo show.

I'll fake an inside cut to fool Zhang Xizhe first...

Directly switch to an internal cut.

William's speed isn't actually that fast, but compared to the Chinese team's defensive players, it's already quite impressive.

"I'll come, I'll come!"

Wang Shenchao rushed up and blocked William's position, while Zhang Xizhe cleverly went to find Paulinho.

Tang Ye also rushed back; his target was the restless Fagner.

Snapped!
Cross!
From winger William!

The ball was given to Neymar at the far post.

However, Chinese players specifically marked Neymar.

The moment Neymar received the ball, Hao Junmin and Zhang Linpeng immediately sandwiched him.

Neymar staggered a few steps, but still managed to clear the ball with his own skill.

"There was a clear foul by the Chinese team, but the referee indicated that Brazil had the advantage!"

"Given"

Coutinho played a short through ball to Jesus, who then passed it to Willian.

“Watch out!”

Tang Ye shouted it out, and it was at this moment that William completed his dribble and shot.

The ball grazed the crossbar and flew out.

"Wow!"

so close!

This was the immediate reaction of Chinese players and fans.

"Take it easy, keep your distance from him."

Tang Ye gave his teammates some instructions.

Brazil's two wingers are both incredibly skilled at dribbling, so the Chinese defenders need to be careful!
"..."

"Give it directly to Tang Ye!"

Tang Ye received a pass from his teammate near the baseline, paused for a moment, and then immediately began to cut inside.

Tang Ye's teammates who were supposed to provide support were already being marked, but he didn't panic at all.

One-on-one against Felipe!
Swish!

With a fried meatball, Tang Ye successfully widened the distance between himself and Felipe.

Wow!!!

No one expected the Chinese team to be able to enter Brazil's penalty area so quickly.

Watch Tang Ye's moves!

Snapped!
He swung his right foot out with the outside of his foot to shoot.

The angle was well-judged, but Alisson still managed to push the ball out.

"Depend on!"

Biting his own clothes, Tang Ye roared at the air.

"This was the first shot on target of the match, a curling shot with the outside of Tang Ye's foot after he had created space!"

Although they didn't score, the Chinese team used this attack to show the fans that Brazil's defense is not impenetrable.

Yes, at least that's how it is for Tang Ye.

"What the Chinese players need to do now is to try their best to coordinate with Tang Ye, and what Tang Ye needs to do is to maximize his own abilities."

The frequent teamwork between players and Tang Ye's individual ability.

These two things seem contradictory, but the match against Sweden made fans realize that if they can handle them well, the balance between them is the strongest form of the Chinese team.

boom!
Dongqiudi live match report: Neymar completed a rainbow flick, then was brought down by the defender just before entering the penalty area, giving Brazil a direct free kick.

"Beep beep beep!!!"

The free kick was awarded directly to Coutinho.

Let's see how Coutinho handles it...

Beep!
Coutinho opted to pass the ball to Neymar, who had moved around to the far post.

Neymar showed off his ball control skills and then took a shot.

duang!

The ball hit the post and bounced right to Willian's feet.

The Brazilian winger followed up with a shot, scoring almost effortlessly.

"GOOOO-AAAA-LLLLLL!!"

The ball went in!
Brazil's goal was not offside in the slightest!

"Wow, the score is now 1-0!"

"Being behind in the 18th minute doesn't seem very favorable for the Chinese team..."

The Brazilian players began their celebrations, while the Chinese defenders in the penalty area were somewhat bewildered.

"Just go up, be decisive!"

Zeng Cheng shouted at Wang Shenchao.

He's in good form, but ultimately he's just a goalkeeper worth a few hundred thousand euros. It's unrealistic for Chinese national team players to expect Zeng Cheng to unleash the fighting power of a player worth tens of millions of euros.

"Be steady, be steady."

Tang Ye shouted to his teammates.

Time quickly moved to the 34th minute of the first half, and Brazil's second goal was disallowed for offside, keeping the score at 0-1. At this point, China also found their opportunity through a long counter-attack.

Facing the incoming pass, Tang Ye used his body to shield the ball with his back to Coutinho, stretched out his right foot, and kicked the ball away.

Tang Ye's pass went over both his own head and Coutinho's head, and then...

Go directly to Zhang Yuning!
"Oh my God!"

This seems like an opportunity for the Chinese team!
Zhang Yuning controlled the ball and adjusted his position, but his subsequent shot was blocked by three Brazilian defenders.

"..."

"Coutinho, just go for it!"

boom!
Tang Ye rushed over and successfully blocked Coutinho.

But Coutinho's shot was very powerful, and after Tang Ye blocked the first touch, the ball flew away.

Give it to Casemiro!

boom!
Casemiro's long-range shot was headed away by Tang Ye, who had just gotten up from the ground.

The players from both sides began to scramble for the ball, but Brazil ultimately gained possession.

I grass!

Realizing something was wrong, Tang Ye quickly turned around to check his teammates' positions in the backfield, and Coutinho took a second long-range shot.

boom!
The ball was moving at an absurdly fast speed, and even if Zeng Cheng reacted in time, he wouldn't have had a good opportunity.

"Goal!" (Russian)

"2-0! The score is now 2-0, Brazil has extended their lead! (Russian)"

Pooh!
With his hands behind his back, Tang Ye spat on the ground.

grandma's.

Just like I learned in the game, Coutinho's long-range shooting ability on the other side is really exaggerated!
As the Brazilian players were celebrating, Wu Lei quietly walked over to Tang Ye.

Now it seems that only standing next to Tang Ye can make him feel safe.

Tang Ye remained silent, searching for possible solutions while feeling regretful.

He took the ball and went to the sidelines of the field.

Go China!

"Go Tang Ye!"

Tang Ye passed the ball to Zhang Linpeng next to him and began to advance forward.

Snapped!
Zhang Linpeng delivered a cross, but it hit the Brazilian player's hand.

"Oh! It was a handball!"

The players from both sides were adjusting their positions when Tang Ye sneaked over.

!

The Chinese team detected Tang Ye's intention in the attacking third and quickly began to move forward.

Tang Ye placed the ball where the foul occurred and reached out to touch it!
boom!
[De Bruyne's Standard Long Pass Lv5: Replica (Beyond Form)]

Proficiency: 842/5000
"It's been transmitted directly!"

"Tang Ye's quick free kick!"

All the players in the stands stood up.

The ball was passed to Yu Hanchao on the left wing, who controlled it while adjusting his position.

A cross to Wu Lei at the far post!

Stop the ball!

boom!
Wu Lei volleyed the ball into the top left corner of the goal and successfully scored.

"The ball is in!"

"Wu Lei!"

"Tang Ye's unexpected quick free kick gave the Chinese team an opportunity!"

The commentator's face turned red from shouting, and the Chinese team players were ready to celebrate.

But then the "var" icon in the upper left corner of the screen started rotating.

"..."

"This……"

"The Video Assistant Referee is reviewing China's goal." The footage shows Tang Ye and his teammates rushing over, spreading their hands to the referee: "What happened? What happened to that goal?"

"Hey, sir, listen to me, this ball is fine, this ball is definitely fine, okay?"

Momentum is extremely important for the current Chinese team, and Tang Ye certainly doesn't want such a good goal by Wu Lei to be disallowed by the referee.

The video assistant referee did not give a clear response, so the referee indicated that he would go to the sidelines to watch the replay.

"Wow!!"

Brazilian fans were screaming, and Tang Ye was speechless.

Don't mess with me, damn it.

Was he offside?

Feng Xiaoting grabbed Tang Ye's shoulder and asked in a low voice.

"I didn't even look at the seats in front of me."

Tang Ye replied.

To achieve a surprise effect, sometimes his passes are based on his prior calculations.

Tang Ye didn't even look up when he passed the ball.

"Okay, fine."

Feng Xiaoting sighed.

Now all we can do is stand here and wait for the referee's decision.

The camera then shows a replay.

"Hmm, it does seem like there's a possibility of offside."

"Although Miranda was lagging behind, Yu Hanchao's left foot was forward."

"We need to compare the patterns."

Soon, two lines, one red and one green, were displayed.

Yu Hanchao was positioned one-third of the way up his foot!
The referee drew a box and then blew the whistle.

"Beep!!!"

Goal disallowed!

Hey!

Tang Ye panicked and ran over to stop the referee: "No, really? Are you sure it was offside?"

The referee remained silent, and Tang Ye stood there anxiously.

Upon seeing the Var equipment surrounding the stadium, Tang Ye had a sudden inspiration and ran over.

Seeing is believing; he wanted to see for himself.

Squinting, Tang Ye craned his neck toward the Var display screen.

Red line and green line...

"Beep!"

Tang Ye had just seen what was displayed on the screen when the referee blew the whistle the next second.

Yellow Card: Tang Ye (10)

"..."

"Wow!"

The fans in the stands were jeering, and Tang Ye helplessly shrugged.

Dongqiudi Live Match Report: Tang Ye quickly took a free kick in a counter-attack, Wu Lei's shot was disallowed. Tang Ye was subsequently shown a yellow card by the referee for peeking at the VAR device.

The camera focused on Tang Ye.

This is the first player to receive a yellow card for reviewing VAR since the introduction of VAR technology in the World Cup.

"Holy crap, I didn't know this couldn't be viewed!"

Tang Ye shrugged at his opponent, feeling extremely upset.

Who would have thought that he, an attacking midfielder, would have the most yellow cards in the team?

Of course, the yellow card is secondary.

The main issue is that Wu Lei's goal was disallowed, which is the most upsetting thing for the Chinese team players right now.

42nd minute of the first half!

He received the ball on the left flank and cut inside to the center, with Paulinho right beside him.

There's also Casemiro ahead of him.

Inside cut and bottom turn!
Tang Ye pretended to nutmeg Paulinho, nearly scaring the latter to death. Then Tang Ye did something fancy, stepping on the ball, pulling it back, and kicking it forward again, successfully getting rid of Paulinho.

Casemiro was blocked by Paulinho, so he was unable to make a tackle to intercept Tang Ye.

We've arrived at the top of the arc!

Snapped!
He chipped the ball with his left foot to Wu Lei, who was making a run down the right flank.

Another shot, but still no goal.

"call……"

Tang Ye was now panting heavily from the long run.

"Be decisive, huff, if you want to fight, then fight, don't hesitate!"

"..."

"Give it to Jesus!"

Jesus, Neymar, and Coutinho kept moving back and forth outside the Chinese team's penalty area, and in the end, Jesus's shot went wide.

"Beep, beep beep!!"

"Alright, the first half is over. The score is currently 2-0, with China trailing by two goals."

"Actually, the Chinese team had some scoring opportunities in the first half, but the players' ability to seize those opportunities definitely needs improvement."

……

Dongqiudi Halftime Report: Willian scores, Brazil leads China 2-0; Tang Ye is shown a yellow card for offside during a quick free kick and for allegedly consulting VAR. (87318 comments)

Can't it even be offside by one toe?

Yu Hanchao was too hasty; he shouldn't have gone all out from the start.

[They've started wrestling; Tang Ye and Neymar take turns lying on the ground to rest.]

[It would be great to have Rodri; Tang Ye seems to be struggling against Brazil's three midfielders by himself.]

Tang Ye spat out the chewing gum and walked slowly on the grass.

As expected, the director gave him the camera again.

Fans have no idea what Tang Ye is thinking right now.

Indeed, I feel that very few people can understand Tang Ye's current situation.

"Tom!"

Neymar walked over, and Tang Ye noticed the mud on the back of his shorts: "You need to change your pants."

You have one too.

Neymar reminded him.

He was targeted by the Chinese team's defenders, and Tang Ye would naturally also be targeted by the Brazilian team's defenders.

"Go go go!"

Knowing that Tang Ye was in a bad mood, Neymar said "good luck" and then ran off.

……

Before the match started, Tang Ye was quite talkative, but after the first half ended, he sat on the bench and didn't say a word.

Lippi was giving a summary to the players.

To be honest, Marcelo's sudden substitution has indeed had a significant impact on the Chinese team's tactics. Wu Lei and Zhang Linpeng both seem to be at a loss now.

Lippi and Madaloni each gave their presentations. Lippi then gave Madaloni a look, and the latter walked over to Tang Ye: "Tom, what do you want to say?"

"me……"

Tang Ye raised his head and looked at Madaloni in front of him: "Hiss... to be honest, I don't know either."

In Tang Ye's vision, there are quite a few ways for China to draw with Brazil, but these methods all require long-term training and coordination, and the Chinese team must be able to predict Brazil's tactics in advance.

None of the conditions are met, leaving Tang Ye at a loss as to what to do.

"..."

Zhang Yuning placed her hand on Tang Ye's thigh.

……

"Alright, everyone, welcome back. This is the knockout stage of the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia..."

After changing into his new jersey and shorts, Tang Ye slowly ran back onto the field.

The second half has begun!

Marcelo was warming up, but Tite didn't seem to be planning to substitute him.

At this point, Lippi could finally confirm that Tite had indeed guessed the Chinese team's thoughts.

After all, for the Chinese team, the most likely way to score is through a counter-attack after Marcelo comes out.

Tite removed Marcelo from the starting lineup, clearly not intending to give China any chance!
54nd minute of the second half!

Neymar dribbles into the penalty area!
He feinted to knock Feng Xiaoting down, then moved sideways to create distance.

The Chinese team's defense was actually quite good, but the Brazilian attacking players' pace was simply too fast for them.

Snapped!
Neymar's powerful shot from near the penalty spot extended his team's lead to three goals.

Neymar rushed off the field and joined his teammates in celebration.

The camera panned to the presidential platform, where, despite the team scoring three goals, the Brazilian president showed no sign of a smile.

This is because she was sitting next to someone from a major Eastern country.

"It's alright, it's alright, just stay calm!"

Feng Xiaoting and Yu Hanchao began to encourage their teammates.

The veterans are under a lot of pressure right now.

Given the current situation, the Chinese team may concede four or even five goals in this match.

This is something that neither the players nor the fans want to accept!

Tang Ye and Wu Lei clapped hands.

The camera focused on Tang Ye's head; the director clearly understood what Chinese fans were thinking.

GGBond!

Hurry up and use your brain to think of a solution!
