Chapter 442: Sooner or Later, You Will Pay for What You Have Done.

The powerful football hit the left post of the goal and bounced back. Thiago Silva chose his position well and reacted quickly. He kicked the ball out of the bottom line. Then a lingering exclamation sounded over the Kazan Arena: "wowowoowoooooooo——"

The live director's close-up shot quickly gave Li Qing. Surprisingly, Li Qing did not feel any regret, and even his expression did not show any obvious fluctuations, as if it had nothing to do with the direct free kick that was just a hair's breadth away.

What is the truth?

Li Qing was very depressed, but he just didn't want to be seen.

He couldn't help but complain in his heart: "Confidence is a good thing, overconfidence is arrogance, see... you don't have to rely on strength if you have skills, hit the post, right? Humph!"

The Brazilian fans in the audience burst into exclamations, and the English fans hugged their heads, making huge exclamations like a tsunami, venting their depression for not being able to expand the score to three goals.

If Li Qing's free kick just now could be five centimeters to the right, this ball... must have!

Damn it!

What a pity!

Sky TV commentator Andy Gray sighed: "Ah~ Just a little bit! Li is only five centimeters away from surpassing the king of football Pele and catching up with Just Fontaine!"

"If they can lead by three goals, Brazil can surrender in advance."

Commentary guest Martin Taylor laughed.

Sitting in the VIP seat, the Brazilian king of football Pele took a deep breath, and then exhaled a long breath. At that moment, he felt like he was going to get a stitch in the side.

Brazil coach Tite turned his back and secretly raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead. If Li Qing's direct free kick had scored directly, then... the game could have ended early.

After falling behind by three goals, even if they were lucky enough to catch up with two goals, there was still a high possibility of losing the ball during this period of time.

The Brazilian players on the field reacted almost exactly like Tite. Fernandinho, who committed the foul, was speechless. His foul was to make up for Paulinho's lack of frontal defense. Logically speaking, a set-piece of nearly 40 meters is unlikely to pose a direct threat. As a result, Li Qing turned decay into magic and almost expanded the score to three goals.

As a defensive midfielder, Fernandinho was directly responsible for the team's two goals, but fortunately he didn't lose the third one...

The English players were not as open-minded as Li Qing, and they all looked incredulous.

Arnold took a corner kick. Since Li Qing's first goal came from a header in the penalty area, this time he was the focus of the Brazilian defensive players in the penalty area. He was surrounded and couldn't even jump. The ball was finally headed out of the penalty area by Miranda, the Brazilian captain who was in a good position.

Coutinho, who was guarding outside the penalty area, made a big kick to clear the ball, and the ball was received by Ashley Young who was protecting it. Neymar, Firmino and William rushed out at the same time. Ashley Young didn't dare to dribble the ball and made a long pass directly into the penalty area.

Harry Kane used his chest to stop the ball towards the goal. The assistant referee raised the flag to indicate that Harry Kane was offside, but the referee Ma Riqi did not blow the whistle. Instead, he waited until Harry Kane sent the ball into the goal and then listened to the feedback from the video referee.

In order to avoid major mistakes, this situation should be more cautious.

If Harry Kane succeeded in countering offside, it would be controversial, and offside goals can be called back. After VAR intervened, it was finally ruled that Harry Kane was offside first and the goal was invalid.

Tite breathed a sigh of relief again. If Harry Kane was countering offside, it would be troublesome.

The Brazilian players on the field were no different.

After Li Qing almost scored a goal directly from a free kick, they were like frightened birds, fearing that they would be scored again in the second half.

……

Brazil experienced two consecutive dangerous situations and attacked cautiously. Neymar and William were the two major reliances of Brazil's offense. Coutinho had a set of offensive organization, but the key passing and controlling skills were not good. The club could not create absolute opportunities for teammates like Messi, and he lacked impact when playing as a second striker. He could only rely on the moment he got rid of the ball to blast out a world wave.

However, his teammates in Liverpool all knew Coutinho's technical characteristics, so it was difficult to play out. Tite was thinking about whether to withdraw Coutinho and replace him with Augusto.

This idea did not last long before Tite denied it himself. Coutinho was certainly not competent for the front midfielder position, but his long-range shooting and passing were the strongest at the team level. Augusto had the ability, but he played too much in the imperial team of the Chinese Super League in the past two seasons, and participated in too few forced high-level competitions, so it was difficult for him to play a role in such a crucial game.

The live director gave close-up shots of Neymar, the star player of Brazil, many times. The intention was obvious, that is, he hoped that Brazil's No. 10 could contribute goals, help Brazil score goals, and maintain the hope of advancing to the semi-finals.

Unfortunately, England's defense was very good, leaving no space for Neymar to exploit.

Of course, the biggest reason was that the Brazilian players were afraid of Li Qing's quick counterattack, which resulted in Neymar not being able to get effective support.

In the 57th minute, Brazil made two consecutive adjustments. Casemiro replaced Fernandinho, who was on a yellow card, and Jesus replaced William, whose performance was always incomparable to that of the club. The formation changed from 433 to 442, or more precisely, 4231. Jesus was at the front, Firmino played as the second striker, Neymar and Coutinho played like a wing midfielder, Paulinho and Casemiro guarded the middle, and the defenders' positions remained unchanged.

Jesus' entry into the penalty area put a lot of pressure on England. As time went by, the defensive pressure on Henderson and Dier also increased.

Firmino will definitely be able to handle it with ease. With the powerful Jesus coming on the field, Firmino's position becomes very flexible, just like playing at Liverpool, and he can share the burden of Neymar and Coutini. Austrian organizational pressure.

Neymar can finally display his talent as he pleases in these few minutes, adding momentum to the frenetic game atmosphere.

Brazil's offensive became more and more powerful with Neymar's performance, forcing England goalkeeper Pickford to make consecutive key saves.

"aoaoaooaoooooooooo——"

The Samba fans in the audience let out a loud roar like a tsunami, venting the emotional explosion caused by the offensive tide.

China 5 commentator He Wei said loudly: "Tite should have been replaced by a real center long ago. Firmino played in Liverpool as a pseudo center who mainly cooperated with his teammates. Now that he is alive, Coutinho and Neymar Marr is also alive. It can be said that one move affects the whole body. Now it depends on Southgate's adjustment. If there is no way to reverse the situation, Brazil is likely to reduce the score..."

Before he finished speaking, Coutinho received Firmino's back pass and dodged Dell's defense. He shot furiously, passing and shooting in one go. The football he kicked was like a cannonball. Goalkeeper Pickford His body stretched to the extreme without even touching the football, and there was more despair in his eyes.

"Bang~"

However, at this moment, a crisp muffled sound instantly echoed throughout the entire venue.

"Coutinho's cloud-piercing arrow did not break through the door of England! He returned a goal post!"

He Wei, the commentator of China Channel 5, shouted: "I really agree with what I said. Sooner or later, you will have to pay back!"
