Chapter 5 Marseille Roundabout
As the game progressed, Costa Rica's strength and advantages began to show, and they gradually took advantage of the time to control the ball, while the Chinese team fell into a relative passivity and could only deal with their opponents with defensive counterattacks.

However, it was in this situation that the Chinese team got more opportunities than when they controlled the ball before.

In the 37th minute, the Chinese team got a free kick on the right side of the midfield, and Yin Jun took the initiative to pass the free kick.Because this position is not far in front of the center line, there is no chance to directly attack the goal, and none of the teammates competes with him. Yin Jun successfully won the free throw.

Yin Jun kicked the ball to the left wing of the penalty area and found Li Weifeng, who has the nickname "Big Head".

The teammates were quite satisfied with Yin Jun's free kick, especially Li Weifeng gave him a thumbs up from a distance.

………………

When Costa Rica's next attack was over and the Chinese team got the ball and began to counterattack, Yin Jun received the ball near the center line. He observed that Su Maozhen in the frontcourt was only surrounded by the opponent's No. 4, and immediately sent a long pass to send the ball. He arrived at the empty space next to Su Maozhen.

However, when Su Maozhen won the ball in the entanglement with the opponent's No. 4, he was called a foul, and the referee punished Su Maozhen for pulling the opponent's jersey during the scrimmage.

One minute later, the Chinese team counterattacked again. It was Yin Jun who sent a long pass near the midfield and accurately found Yang Chen on the front line.Although Yang Chen won the point, he couldn't choose to get rid of it under the guard of two defenders. Instead, he chose to head the ball back to Yu Genwei, but he still failed to pose any threat to Costa Rica's goal.

Although several attacks failed to achieve any results, Yin Jun still won the trust of several teammates in the frontcourt with several precise passes.

In the 40th minute, Costa Rica attacked.On their left, Wan Qiaopu got rid of Xu Yunlong. Seeing that Wan Qiaopu was about to enter the penalty area, Xu Yunlong could only choose to foul and gave the opponent a free kick very close to the corner of the penalty area.

Costa Rica's free kick into the penalty area was driven to the back point. The Costa Rican player who received the ball could not shoot and chose to pass it back to the center.But before the Costa Rica player who received the ball in the middle could control the ball, Li Tie, who quickly grabbed the ball, broke the ball.

When Li Tie fell to the ground, he kicked the ball to Su Maozhen beside him, and Su Maozhen passed the ball to Yang Chen.

Yang Chen received a pass from Su Maozhen near the middle circle, and he strode forward with the ball.On his left, separated by two Costa Rican players, is Yu Genwei, who advances rapidly; and behind him on the right, Yin Jun also advances rapidly.

Yang Chen quickly dribbled the ball to the front of the opponent's penalty area, and at this time there were already two Costa Rican players defending in front of him.Yu Genwei on the left also has Costa Rican players following him closely, so there is no good chance.

Just when Yang Chen was about to take a shot himself, a voice came from behind him: "Brother Yang, pass forward!"

It's Yin Jun!
………………

Yang Chen was very surprised. The counterattack of the Chinese team was too fast just now. He thought that no one on his side could keep up with such a fast counterattack, but he didn't expect Yin Jun to follow up.

Regarding Yin Jun's speed, Yang Chen still had some understanding, he just hesitated for less than half a second, and chose to push the ball forward.

Because of Yang Chen's brief hesitation, the Costa Rican players had already discovered Yin Jun's advance, and one of their defensive players was already moving towards the baseline, ready to defend Yin Jun who was advancing forward.

And Yin Jun was worried about offside, and also chose to brake with some disappointment.However, the next moment Yin Jun found out that Yang Chen still passed the ball forward, he immediately chose to start again.

Yang Chen's hesitation not only shook Yin Jun, but also made the opponent's defensive players hesitate.This made his defense a little slower and allowed Yin Jun to control the ball near the baseline.

When the opponent's defensive player started to defend Yin Jun for the second time, because he was half a beat too late, he had no choice but to throw himself out to prevent Yin Jun from choosing to cross or shoot directly.But Yin Jun neither chose to cross nor shoot directly. He chose to buckle the football back, thus avoiding the opponent's flying defense.

However, when Yin Jun took the ball and slipped into the penalty area along the baseline, another defensive player from the opponent arrived, blocking Yin Jun's approach to the small penalty area.And, not far from this Costa Rican defensive player, there are two other Costa Rican defensive players.

If Yin Jun chooses to continue to break through at this time, let alone whether he can pass the Costa Rican defender in front of him, even if he passes, he will be blocked by two other Costa Rican defenders, not to mention Costa Rica who is moving towards the near post goalkeeper.

It seems that Yin Jun has entered a dead end!

………………

It's too late to say it, and these situations all happened in just one or two seconds.

Just when people thought that Yin Jun was trapped in a dead end and the Chinese team's counterattack came to an end, Yin Jun made a move that no one expected.He smashed the ball with his right foot and rotated 180 degrees with his left foot as the axis, from facing the near post to facing away from the near post.

After completing the rotation, Yin Jun stood on his right foot, leaned his back against the Costa Rican player who was defending him, and volleyed with his left foot, taking a turn towards the goal frame he felt.

At that moment, the ball was like a fired shell. It shot up from the ground at an extremely fast speed, passed through the crowd, roared towards the rear goal post, and got into the place near the intersection of the rear goal post and the crossbeam. net.

At that moment, everyone was stunned. No one thought that Yin Jun would finish the shot in such a way, and even scored the goal!

Yin Jun himself was also a little surprised. At that moment just now, he made such a shot completely relying on his instinctive reaction in the blink of an eye.

After seeing the ball go into the goal, Yin Jun turned around and ran towards the corner flag area with his hands raised, where many Chinese fans were watching.

The offensive players of the Chinese team also reacted at this time, followed behind Yin Jun, and rushed to the corner flag area.

A little further away, the players in the backcourt of the Chinese team also reacted, and they also rushed up cheering.

At the other end of the field, goalkeeper Jiang Jing jumped up on the spot, and then screamed and jumped in the small penalty area by himself.

In the stands, more than 2 Chinese fans who came to the Gwangju World Cup Stadium to watch the game gave out wild cheers. Some people even beat the drums they brought into the stadium, and the booming drums resounded through the huge stadium.
