During the halftime break, Zhang Mai saw his teammates who were excited by the score and grinned their teeth. He opened the shin guards and saw that they were all bruised. He felt that he should do something in the more difficult second half.
Lippi also knew how stubborn and fierce the Uruguayans were, so he quickly asked the team's physiotherapist to give the players a relaxing massage, and arranged for Li Xuepeng to play in the second half to replace Bi Jinhao, who was wearing a yellow card.
"Brothers continue to work hard in the second half, and we will be the semi-finals after 45 minutes!"
Captain Zheng Zhi walked around the locker room wearing a quick towel, cheering every player who was about to play.
"Brother Zhi, you always hurry up and take a break, you still have to endure the second half."
Zhang Mai persuaded the oldest big brother in the team to rest and recover blood.
"No need! My brother is beautiful in his heart. In the blink of an eye, he will be in the semi-finals of the World Cup. Thinking about it will give you a lot of energy."
Seeing that the tip of Zheng Zhi's nose is glowing with excitement, what else can Zhang Mai say?
Brother, you are fighting with your life, but you must not turn your temples gray after this battle, hehe...
Zheng Zhi's performance was not an exception, and the singing of "Five-star red flag fluttering in the wind, our..." was soon heard in the entire locker room.
The players and the Chinese staff were singing in unison, and Lippi and his like who don't understand Chinese also looked solemn...
The game started in the second half, Huaguo Li Xuepeng replaced Bi Jinhao, and Uruguay was still the same team.
In the 47th minute, Uruguayan goalkeeper Muslera received a pass back from the defender in the penalty area. He hesitated to take the ball and was almost cut off by Zhang Yulin, causing the old coach Tavares on the sidelines to roar and curse.
In the 51st minute, Zhang Mai's left corner kick was pushed out of the penalty area. Li Xuepeng, who had just played, volleyed directly 27 meters in front of the goal.
In the 55th minute, Uruguay created an opportunity by fighting back from the right side of the penalty area, but the impatient Bentancur volleyed with his left foot from the front of the penalty area and missed the far post.
In the 60th minute, Uruguayan coach Tavares saw that his team's offense had not improved much, and immediately began to arrange substitutions.
Tavares also brought on Maxi Gomez and Christian Rodriguez for Stuani and Bentancur.
The two players with the intention of Tavares' tactical adjustment have not yet stood still, and Uruguay immediately conceded another goal!
In the 62nd minute, Zhang Yulin broke through the middle and knocked back, Wu Xi crossed to the left again, Zhang Mai volleyed with his left foot 24 meters in front of the goal, and Muslera dropped the ball into the upper left corner.
2比0！华国队拉开了比分差距，这是张迈在本届世界杯上的第8粒进球，领先了目前射手榜第二位的凯恩（4个进球）4球。
Muslera's buttery hands put the Uruguayan team in a desperate situation, and the resentful and impatient Uruguayan players became even more brutal, and their movements exceeded the sky.
In the 65th minute, Lucas Torreira's right corner kick was ejected, and Christian Rodriguez's left-footed goal was blocked and a low shot from the front of the penalty area was missed.
The goalkeeper of the Huaguo team, Zeng Cheng, went to the goal and retrieved the football. When he was about to kick the goal kick, Nandez rushed forward and pushed Zeng Cheng to kick the ball quickly, which caused a burst of chaos in front of the Huaguo team.
Zhang Mai pushed Nandez away, and asked Suarez and Vecino loudly, but no one answered for a while, and then the referee stepped forward to stop the dispute.
As the game continued, Zhang Mai also began to think "I'm actually an actor". Regardless of "flopping" and "touching porcelain", the long-term lying down after falling to the ground can at least delay the game time.
Although the opponent is a brutal Uruguayan, Zhang Mai is not worried about any danger when he shows off his "acting skills".
In today's football, the best at using this kind of "flopping", "touching porcelain", and "acting skills" to make profits is the "king of tricks" Neymar.
Neymar has been questioned and criticized for this, and his opponents retaliated against him because of this fancy move, and he was even shoveled because of it, etc...
For Zhang Mai, it doesn't exist. Wearing a "protective suit", and then using a "referee's preference" when the turmoil arises, a systematic life is so tough!
The opportunity came soon. In the 69th minute, the Huaguo team, which led by two goals, counterattacked quickly. Zhang Mai slowed down his devil rhythm in front of the Uruguayan penalty area...
When Zhang Mai gave the ball to Wu Lei, he hit the ball with a slightly fancy backheel, and then fell to the ground after a slight physical contact with Uruguay No. 7 player Rodriguez...
Godin thought that Zhang Mai's action of falling to the ground was too exaggerated, and stepped forward angrily to pull Zhang Mai up, which directly caused a conflict between the players on both sides.
Suarez, Zhang Linfan, Muslera and other players rushed to the scene of the incident. The Uruguayan players quickly put pressure on the referee and blamed Zhang Mai who fell to the ground. Among them, Zhang Linfan and Nandez argued with each other. Suarez was the most emotional, and he kept pointing at Zhang Mai and blaming him. Under the obstruction of Zhang Yulin of the Huaguo team, there was no physical conflict.
Two minutes passed in a flash, and when the conflict had shown signs of subsiding, Zheng Zhi and Nandez had another physical conflict.
For some unknown reason, Captain Huaguo put his arms around Nandez's neck viciously, and then Wu Lei and Vecino quickly stepped forward to try to persuade him to fight. Just ended the dispute.
After the Argentine referee Pitana calmed down the situation, he showed a yellow card to Christian Rodriguez and Zhang Mai. The two captains who moved the most were safe and sound.
It can be easily seen that Zhang Mai is the fuse of this conflict. Zhang Mai's fancy movements show his relaxation of mind, and it can even be said that he is a little smug.
But in the eyes of Uruguay, who is 2 goals behind, this kind of action can undoubtedly be called a real provocation!
You can say that Zhang Mai did not intend to offend Uruguay, but this kind of action hurt the nerves of Uruguayans, and Zhang Mai will definitely understand this.
In view of Zhang Mai's well-known powerful force, Uruguay's cold-blooded captain Godin only stepped forward to help Storm Boy turn over, and protested loudly and strongly when Zhang Mai lay on his back!
The other Uruguayan players who were furious quickly surrounded him, only to verbally strongly condemn for the sake of dignity and justice.
But what's the matter with your Huaguo team, if you don't fight with your mouth, the red-faced captain and old man have already started, is there any justice and justice!
Who is the Asian team?Who is the underdog? Hasn't "deterrence by force and slap in the face" have always been the patents of our European and American teams?
Uruguayan players with thoughts of "It's time for a dog!" or "Long time to see you" calm down and fight again, and the Huaguo team has become indestructible.
In the 78th minute, Zhang Mai succeeded in counter-robbing Suarez from the right, Wu Xi scored the ball, and Zhang Yulin pushed and shot past the crossbar from the front of the penalty area on the left.
In the 82nd minute, Uruguay used up their last substitution, and Ureta Viskaya replaced Nandez.
The Huaguo team here also adjusted their lineup. Lippi used a big package to replace Wu Lei, and Hao Junmin replaced Zhang Mai who received a yellow card.
The Uruguayan players were secretly relieved to see Zhang Mai, the nuclear weapon of the Hua Guo team, and prepared to chase points, but the balance of luck was once again biased towards Hua Guo.
In the 85th minute, Zhang Yulin broke through the middle and was brought down by Jimenez. Hua Guo got a direct free kick facing the goal.
Uruguay's Jimenez suddenly burst into tears while lining up the wall, which made the players on both sides a little baffled.
The game is not over yet, and Jimenez is already crying badly. His true feelings are pitiful and moving, but Jimenez's crying also discouraged the entire Uruguayan team.
Many people hold this point of view. He believes that the game still has to be fought, and you can cheer up and fight until the last moment, but crying means that you have surrendered.
Football is such a sport. The door of miracles is open to those who fight to the end. The brutal Uruguay should not cry because of it!
Then Hua Guo team took a free kick from Zhang Yulin, and the Bundesliga Silver Boot's left-footed ball from 24 meters in front of the goal floated directly into Uruguay's net.
3-0!Zhang Yulin's goal helped the Hua Guo team seal the victory, and many Uruguayan fans in the audience shed tears of disappointment.
The game continued. In the 88th minute, the Hua Guo team also used up the last substitution quota, and Huang Bowen came on to replace Zheng Zhi.
With 6 minutes of stoppage time, Uruguay, which let out its last breath, failed to change the score in the end, and Huaguo maintained its 3-goal advantage until the end.
Before the game was over, Uruguay defender Jimenez was already in tears.
However, who can deny that Cavani, who has martial arts but can't use them, is the one who should shed tears the most?
After the game, Cavani calmly walked onto the lawn, comforting his emotional teammates.
At that moment, this 1 meter man undoubtedly had the tallest figure on the entire field.
Disappointed and crying Uruguayan players collapsed on the lawn one after another, coach Tavares was busy comforting them one by one.
Suarez, who almost missed the next World Cup, ran to the stands where Uruguayan fans gathered and waved to bid farewell to this World Cup.
As soon as the whistle sounded for the end of the game, Zhang Mai and the Huaguo players on the bench rushed to the court, hugging and celebrating with every teammate who did their best.
All Huaguo fans sang the Huaguo national anthem in unison, sending their warmest wishes to the victorious Huaguo soldiers.
The always cunning Silver Fox Lippi also had tears in his eyes. He was busy congratulating the players on the field one by one, but was soon thrown into the air by the ecstatic players...
"No! We still have to prepare for the next game, let's wait until we win the World Cup."
Lippi, who was flying up and down in the circle surrounded by Huaguo players, yelled, and the coaching staff hurried forward to make a rescue...
Huaguo eliminated Uruguay 3-0 and reached the semi-finals of the World Cup for the first time in history. It is impossible to celebrate wildly.
Because of his one shot and one pass, Zhang Mai was also named the MVP of the first 1/4 final after the game.
The Hua Guo team thus became the first team to defeat Argentina and Uruguay in a single World Cup knockout match, and also the second team to defeat three South American teams (including Peru in the group stage) in a single World Cup after the Netherlands in 1974.
