Xia Xiaoyu, who had wiped off his sweat and changed his clothes, was standing on the sidelines with his teammates, watching the court nervously.

After Hu Lai scored in the 87th minute, Xia Xiaoyu was replaced by Qin Lin.

Also replaced was Chen Xingyi.

Qin Lin used up his last chance to make substitutions at the last moment of the game, replacing two players in one go, making five substitutions.

Xia Xiaoyu was replaced because of his serious decline in physical fitness, and also to strengthen the wing defense.

So it was Liu Zhonglai who replaced Xia Xiaoyu.

Liu Zhonglai, who plays in China, is the absolute main force of the wealthy South China Tigers team. He has good strength, and he can play on both wings. When the Chinese team has Luo Kai and Xue Ming on the right, Liu Zhonglai actually

He was recruited into the national team and was originally positioned as a substitute player on the left wing.

He is a full-back, not a full-back, and his defensive ability is not outstanding, but his strength is excellent. With about ten minutes left in the game, he can complete the defensive task with his physical fitness and running.

Chen Xingyi was replaced by right back Sui Sheng, who like Liu Zhonglai, plays domestic football for Hedong Thunder.

From this substitution, it can be seen that Qin Lin hopes that the team can strengthen its defense at the last moment.

Even if full midfielder Liu Zhonglai is replaced, the main purpose is to defend, not attack.

After Sui Sheng came on the court, he played right back, and the left back was given to Cai Shuyi.

Cai Shuyi is a central defender, and he can only play as a guest player as a full-back.

However, due to the Brazilian team's desperate counterattack at the last moment, Cai Shuyi was actually used as a central defender most of the time.

Liu Zhonglai became the left back.

As a result, the actual formation of the Chinese team changed from 343 before the goal to 532.

After the game resumed, the lagging Brazilian team launched a fierce attack, almost overwhelming the Chinese team.

The two forwards Hulay and Luo Kai also became midfielders at this time, responsible for interfering with the Brazilian team when they attack.

During this period, the Brazilian team's offensive was very fierce, and almost no one could sit down and watch the game.

Xia Xiaoyu and his teammates were all standing in front of the bench watching the game.

The Chinese fans also calmed down from the initial excitement and joy of Hu Lai's goal and stared at the stadium intently.

Also feeling nervous are the hundreds of millions of Chinese fans in front of the TV.

Even the Internet suddenly lost a lot of discussion information.

Everyone is paying attention to the final moments of this semi-final.

Although even if the Brazilian team scored a goal, the score was tied at 3:3, and both sides still had the opportunity to play overtime.

However, if you think about it from the side of the Chinese team that is leading, what a huge blow to morale and confidence it will be if a victory over the opponent turns into a draw by the opponent?

Entering overtime with such a mentality, I am afraid it will be difficult to withstand the indiscriminate bombardment of the Brazilian team.

Therefore, if it is defeated by the Brazilian team, it will almost mean the failure of the Chinese team.

No one wants to accept the fall from the clouds to hell.

“Kabanka!!”

With the commentator roaring, Kabangka fired a low shot from the penalty area line!

The football scraped against the turf and rushed towards the goal, heading towards the lower right corner of the goal.

On the way, Qin Qi stretched out his kick to block the football, but he missed it - the football had already passed by before his foot could reach it!

The other Chinese team players turned around and saw Lin Zhiyuan falling to the ground, diving on his side, sliding on the turf, reaching out and saving the football from the baseline with one palm!

"Good shot! Beautiful save by Lin Zhiyuan!"

After completing the save, Lin Zhiyuan turned over and stood up from the ground, then raised his arms and shouted amidst huge cheers.

The cheers in the stands were even louder!

After Hu Lai scored twice for the team and took the lead, now it's Lin Zhiyuan's turn to be the hero!

"The Brazilian team won a corner kick! This game has nine minutes of injury time! It is already the 96th minute, and there is not much time left for them!"

Han Shuyu nervously clenched his hands into fists in the stands and put them to his mouth, not daring to say a word.

Even if I cheer for the Chinese team, I can't make a sound.

She was afraid that every Brazilian attack would turn into a goal.

Li Qingliang did not dare to watch the game, so he simply pointed the camera of his mobile phone at Han Shuyu and judged the situation on the field through her performance.

As the referee blew his whistle, Han Shuyu in his shot widened his eyes and took a deep breath.

Then I kept holding in that breath and never let it out.

Li Qingliang knew that the Brazilian team took the corner kick.

Then Han Shuyu exclaimed: "Ah!"

His eyes widened and he screamed again: "Yeah!"

Li Qingliang couldn't bear it anymore and turned to look at the field.

I saw the football was still in the penalty area of ​​the Chinese team!

Goalkeeper Lin Zhiyuan fell to the ground and the goal was opened!

Neto Leila shoots with a kick!

Liu Zhonglai flew over, put his hands behind his back, and then firmly received Netolela's kick with his face!

Bang!

The football hit him in the face and bounced off into the air.

Liu Zhonglai was beaten so hard that he fell backwards.

But he quickly struggled to get up again - because he didn't know where the ball ended up flying. If it hadn't flown out of the court and let the Brazilian team get the ball, they would definitely not stop the game.

So he can't fall in the penalty area and put the team in danger.

When he got up, he found that the football had been cleared by his teammates and went out of the sideline. Then he lay down again and covered his face.

When he took his hand away again, his palm was already stained with blood - he had a nosebleed from Neto Lela's kick just now!

"Liu Zhonglai! He blocked Netorela's shot with his face!"

Han Shuyu and other Chinese fans could finally breathe a sigh of relief and cheer for a while.

But I can only cheer because the Brazilian team still has the ball next.

Neto Leila looked very angry - his shot that was close at hand was blocked by his opponent in this way...

Kabangka reminded him loudly: "Hurry up and return to your position!"

The current Brazilian team has no time to regret or be upset.

"Liu Zhonglai has to go to the sidelines to receive treatment to stop the bleeding, and the game will continue. During this period, the Chinese team will have one less player on the court... All Chinese players have withdrawn to their defensive third zone... There is still time before the injury time ends.

There is less than three minutes left…”

He Feng tried his best to control his tone and not appear too anxious, which would make the audience even more nervous after listening.

Yuan Bo, who was standing on the sidelines, used the fastest speed to stop Liu Zhonglai's bleeding. At the same time, a staff member had already brought out a new jersey for Liu Zhonglai and asked him to change the jersey that had been stained with nosebleeds.

Liu Zhonglai kept turning his head to look at the court, paying close attention to everything there. At the same time, his feet were always eager to try, as if he wanted to return to the court uncontrollably.

Xia Xiaoyu felt something moving around him. He turned around and saw Zhou Zijing kneeling next to him watching the game.

The whole person was so nervous that he was trembling slightly.

He put his hand on Zhou Zijing's shoulder, squeezed it hard, and controlled the shaking of Zhou Zijing's body.

Zhou Zijing still stared at the court with his eyes fixed on the court and maintained his kneeling position.

The Brazilian commentator shouted: "The Chinese team is now one less player! Increase the offensive and take this opportunity to equalize the score!"

Facing the Chinese team with a bus in front of the goal, the Brazilian team could no longer see the style of "Samba football". They could only use the simplest and crudest method-crossing from the wing and bombing with high balls.

Fonseca passed the ball high from the left. In the middle, center back Kaao, who had already become the center forward, leaped high to compete for the top!

Wang Guangwei jumped up at the same time as him.

The two people met in the air, and the football was pushed out by Wang Guangwei!

However, the football flew outside the penalty area and was still under the control of the Brazilian players.

I saw Gustavo volley directly towards the flying football!

Hu Lai jumped up and turned around, blocking his shot with his back!

Bang!
