Chapter 7
The Art of War says: Do not take the initiative, this is wisdom, use defense as an offense, use softness to overcome strength, judge the situation, guard against arrogance and impetuosity, wait for the opportunity to move, and win by attacking later.

This is the only way to defeat the strong with the weak, summed up by the ancestors for thousands of years, and its correctness has been verified countless times by history.

In this game, the Chinese team had already violated the taboo of aggressiveness before.If it weren't for the unexpected factor of Yin Jun, the Chinese team would have been defeated.But now Yin Jun's goal has helped the Chinese team take the lead, and things have turned for the better.

In the last few minutes of the first half, the Chinese team began to choose to retreat in an all-round way, hoping to maintain the lead to the midfield.

Costa Rica, which accidentally conceded the ball, chose to attack, and Guimaraes' team hoped to tie the score.

In the eyes of the Costa Ricans, the 3 points in this game against the Chinese team are must-get points.Because their goal is to qualify, if they can't even win the weakest Chinese team in the group, let alone the game against the European powerhouse Turkey and the four-star Brazil.

Costa Rica's strength is still very strong. After all, it is a long-term top 30 team in the world. When they attack with all their strength, the Chinese team seems a little difficult to parry and can only defend with all their strength.

However, the strength of this Chinese team is not bad, at least it is the peak of the Chinese team after entering the new century.Under tenacious defense, Costa Rica also failed to break through the gate of the Chinese team.

Soon, the first half of the game entered injury time, the score was still 1:0, and the Chinese team took the lead.

………………

Because of the Chinese team's Sun Jihai's two injuries and treatment, and the Chinese team's goal celebration, the referee gave 3 minutes of stoppage time in the first half.

When the game time entered the 47th minute, Costa Rica, which still failed to score a goal after a strong attack for six or seven minutes, relaxed its attack slightly.

They have also seen that it is not a realistic thing to eagerly want to break through the goal of the Chinese team.After all, this Chinese team is led by the miraculous Milutinovic.

At this time, the Chinese team found an opportunity.

The Chinese team intercepted Costa Rica's pass from the outside of their own penalty area. Ma Mingyu intercepted the ball from Costa Rica striker Wanchope, and the ball fell to Yin Jun's feet.

Yin Jun moved the ball forward and strode forward.

Because Costa Rica was still aggressively attacking the previous moment, when Yin Jun received the ball, there were no Costa Rica defenders within ten meters of him.

Correspondingly, because the Chinese team is also in a state of full retreat, apart from the two forwards Su Maozhen and Yang Chen, there are no other players in the frontcourt.

Moreover, both Su Maozhen and Yang Chen were under the marking of the opponent's players, and they didn't have a good chance to catch the ball.

Yin Jun looked up while dribbling the ball forward, and simply stopped passing the ball, and quickly dribbled the ball forward by himself.

Yin Jun drove straight in, disrupting Costa Rica's defense all at once.After all, he only broke through Costa Rica's goal a few minutes ago, and they dare not underestimate Yin Jun.For a while, apart from Costa Rica's midfielder quickly chasing back, two of the four defenders also rushed towards Yin Jun, trying to encircle Yin Jun near the midfield.

………………

When Yin Jun reached the middle circle, there were already four players around him rushing from four directions.

With Yin Jun being surrounded, the defensive pressure around Su Maozhen and Yang Chen on the front line dropped sharply.The two of them also left and right, while running forward, while opening up space for Yin Jun.

Before the two Costa Rican defenders closed the door on him, Yin Jun passed the ball to Yang Chen who was pulled to the right.

Compared to Su Maozhen, who was already in his early 30s and lost his speed, Yang Chen was not only younger, but also had a certain ability to dribble and break through, so Yin Jun chose to pass the ball to Yang Chen, not Su Maozhen.

Yang Chen has already opened up space on the right, and Yin Jun's passing route and speed are good, so Yang Chen received the ball smoothly, and took advantage of the situation to form a breakthrough, making a pass from the bottom.

Su Maozhen advanced in the middle, and Yu Genwei's assault on the left. For a while, the Chinese team formed a three-shot attack in the frontcourt. Costa Rica's defense was under great pressure. No one noticed after the pass. , Yin Jun who continued to follow up in the middle.

Yang Chen made a bottom pass, but his pass was not for Su Maozhen, the high point in the middle, but for Yu Genwei who followed up.

Yu Genwei also had a Costa Rican defensive player in front of him. In addition, he was on the wing and far away from the goal, so he couldn't head the ball directly. Before the restricted area.

………………

Not only Yin Jun followed up in the middle, but also the midfielder Li Tie, and Li Tie's position was slightly higher than Yin Jun's.

Li Tie didn't notice that Yin Jun was hiding behind him, and when he saw the ball flying towards the middle, he thought Yu Genwei was looking for him by ferrying the header over. shoot.

The defensive players in Costa Rica also chose to block Li Tie when they saw that Li Tie was about to shoot.But unexpectedly, a figure came out from behind Li Tie, stretched out his foot to hook, and cut off the flying football first.

In Costa Rica's penalty area, although there were five defenders, their left back was defending Yang Chen just now. After Yang Chen passed the ball, the left center back chose to return to the center. The right center back was attracted by Su Maozhen. Defending Yu Genwei, the midfielder was attracted by Li Tie's vigorous volley. Therefore, when Yin Jun cut the ball first and entered the penalty area, there was no defensive player in front of him.

Yin Jun did not choose to break through with the ball. At this time, even if he dribbled the ball with one more step, it would still give the opponent time to react to that step, and there would be more variables.

After Yin Jun hooked the ball down, the football landed just in front of his left foot.Taking advantage of the inertia of moving forward at high speed, after landing, he took advantage of the momentum with his left foot and kicked the football that had not yet landed.

In a blink of an eye, the football changed course again in the air and flew towards the goal of Costa Rica.

The Costa Rica goalkeeper was just diving to the left of the goal, preparing to defend Yu Genwei's close-range header.Unexpectedly, Yu Genwei chose to ferry the header to the middle, and then was intercepted by Yin Jun who was rushing forward at a very fast speed.

In a series of rapid changes, the Costa Rica goalkeeper was stunned at the near post. Yin Jun's shot to the middle of the goal flew into the goal without any hindrance!
In the second minute of stoppage time in the first half, the Chinese team made another victory!
