"You bastard, why don't you fall to death?"

Not to mention the sour feeling in Platini's heart after watching Wu Jie perform a very difficult front flip.

Most people may not know the difficulty of this action, but as an attacking midfielder who can score 20+ goals every season, Platini knows that the difficulty of this somersault is different from other postures.

Wu Jie's front flip is as difficult as a free throw line dunk in basketball. Most players simply can't do it, and even if they can, they dare not do it because if they fail, they are likely to injure their spine and may be life-threatening.

Platini's vision was indeed good. Decades later, few people dared to imitate this move because it was too dangerous.

Klose was a gymnast before he dared to show off when he was young. Other players would be more likely to get injured if they imitated it. A classmate in India imitated it to death. After that, no one would dare to do this move.

Wu Jie dared to do it because he had practiced it thousands of times in dream training and after suffering a spinal injury, he had mastered the skills of how to avoid serious injuries when he failed.

Only in this way can he dare to do it in reality, otherwise he would not take the risk. You must know that he is 1.9 meters tall, so it is more difficult to do this action than Klose.

But the effect at this moment is also very good. Live broadcasts all over the world are playing this unique and extremely dangerous somersault celebration in a loop.

Obviously, this has become his signature move.

But I just don’t know if someone will be seriously injured due to imitation, or even die directly like the Indian player.

Wu Jie thinks it is very possible that there is a certain gap between the physical fitness of athletes in this era and those thirty or forty years later. There is a high chance that such a situation will occur, so when he returns, he will first prohibit domestic players from imitating it.

Of course he hopes that someone will be fooled by imitation, but these people cannot be Chinese.

After the game restarted, the French had no other choice. They could only continue to adopt this attack that left no retreat.

The Chinese team also continued to put up an iron barrel formation to greet the French who were in desperate situation.

This is no different than before scoring a goal!

Now if the French want to avoid being eliminated, they must score two goals before the end of the game and not allow the Chinese team to score again.

But after ten minutes of fierce attack against the Chinese team, the French team almost let Wu Jie succeed in a sneak attack again.

Now everyone knows that the French are completely in dire straits, including Platini who is once again entangled by Chen Haonan.

This young defensive midfielder, who is just 17 years old and only 166 meters tall, used his tireless defense today to make Platini struggle by himself.

This was not an ordinary outstanding performance. Chen Haonan did not seek help from his teammates, but used his ever-present defense to reduce Platini's threat by more than half. There are few defenses of this level in the world.

But there are some players who you can watch for 89 minutes and still score in the last minute.

Platini is such a player!

The two teams struggled until the end of the first half. As soon as the Chinese team's defense, including Chen Haonan, relaxed for a moment, Platini seized the opportunity and completed a wonderful breakthrough.

After the No. 1 player in Europe got rid of Chen Haonan, he used his outstanding dribbling skills to break through Chi Shangbin and Zhu Bo who came to defend him, and then stuffed the ball into the penalty area before losing his balance.

Rochetto unloaded the ball perfectly in the penalty area. Facing several defensive players from the Chinese team, he swayed left and right in the extreme space, forced the ball under his feet, and created a shot.

In the open space, he finally fired a fast and tricky ground ball shot.

The shot was of such high quality that Lin Yaodong had no time to make a save because his line of sight was blocked by one of his own. When he discovered Rochetto's shot, he had no time to react.

"gollllllllllllll!"

At this moment, the French TV commentator finally vented all the depression he had been holding in for half the game.

The French fans at the scene could finally continue to raise their hands and cheer loudly for the French team!

Wu Jie was not too surprised. This Rochetto was Ribery and Robben in the late 1970s and early 1980s.

Once a player of this level performs, no matter how strong the defense and goalkeeper are, they cannot be said to be foolproof.

The French equalized the score with a performance that could be included in the top ten goals of this World Cup, but the morale of the Chinese team did not drop.

They also know that it is unrealistic to keep a clean sheet against the French team. This group of Chinese players are very self-aware of their abilities.

Even though they were very confident before the start of the World Cup, it can be seen after these few games.

If the three geniuses Wu Jie, Chen Haonan, and Lin Yaodong were removed, let alone being ranked first in the group, they would probably not be able to score even one goal, and the number of goals conceded would be increased countless times. You can guess this just by looking at Kuwait.

What's going on?

During the halftime break, Wu Jie naturally praised the performance of his teammates and encouraged everyone to keep up the good work.

As long as this game lasts for another thirty minutes, the Frenchman's physical energy will be almost exhausted by then, and the difficulty of scoring goals will increase exponentially.

Platini was also frantically encouraging his teammates in the locker room. He really didn't want to lose today's game!

Now, in addition to seeing West Germany as their formidable enemy, the French now want to defeat, or rather do not want to lose, the Chinese team.

This mentality helped them. Less than 2 minutes after the start of the second half, Rochetto fell in the penalty area, and the referee decisively awarded a yellow card and a penalty kick.

Lin Lefeng had nothing to say, because he did touch Rochetto's leg with the ball. Regardless of whether the opponent deliberately came up to him or not, and regardless of whether the falling action was too exaggerated, there was absolutely no problem with this ruling according to the rules.

"Wide defense!"

Wu Jie sighed inwardly. Most of the threats created by the French team today came from the wing.

But can their full-backs be blamed?

He felt that he couldn't blame them, because the full-backs of the Chinese team were not stretching their hips at all, but they were at this level.

The original position was defeated by the Hong Kong team, creating the 5.19 tragedy, which was actually the result of the wing being blown up.

The Hong Kong team can make a fuss on the Chinese team's wing, and the English and French teams have world-class stars on the wing. Rochetto is a contemporary superstar. Even if he faces the Chinese team's double defense, he can still flow unimpeded.

In this case, it would be strange if they didn't stretch their hips on the wing.

Platini took the penalty kick and looked at Lin Yaodong who was smiling and jumping up and down in front of the goal. He felt a lot of pressure.

Today, all French people have a deep impression of Lin Yaodong. If it weren't for this guy whose urine may be filled with stimulants, guarding the goal, the Chinese team would have conceded at least three or four goals.

However, no matter how good the goalkeeper is, if he wants to save a penalty kick, in addition to his own extraordinary performance, it also depends on luck and the quality of the opponent's penalty kick.

After all, Platini is not an ordinary star, and he has been an unbeatable penalty kicker since the youth team. His experience and mentality are enough to overcome the pressure facing Lin Yaodong. This ball directly used a speed change trick to deceive Lin Yaodong first.

After making a save, of course he kicked the ball in the opposite direction.

After landing, Lin Yaodong could only shake his head with a wry smile. This shot seemed to be unlucky, and the opponent was more cunning than he thought.

Platini scored a penalty kick to take the lead.

The French fans at the scene naturally felt that they could do it again, and the French players' heads raised to the sky again.

"How is it? Am I still in vain?"

Platini's mentality became proud again. He even found an opportunity to go to Wu Jie with his head held high and taunted him. He was so happy in his heart!

"Being complacent after getting a little bit may be the sign of a loser."

Wu Jie sneered, and Platini's mood instantly worsened with just one sentence.

Chen Haonan was on the sidelines but was very surprised. He couldn't understand why Platini always had to challenge the top players when he clearly didn't talk trash. Isn't this asking for trouble?

This is due to lack of knowledge. Some people just play better as they get better and lose more. For example, Wu Jie was a member of the same group in his previous life.

Platini is also this kind of person. Even though his mentality exploded after being criticized again this time, he will take the initiative to give it to him next time.

However, the mentality of the Chinese team gradually changed, mainly because the defense line began to become autistic.

Fortunately, after the French team took the lead, they no longer launched attacks so frantically.

They were also afraid that Wu Jie would seize the opportunity to counterattack and score again, so the two full-backs began to join the defense in the middle to suppress Wu Jie's attack.

This slightly reduced the defensive pressure on the Chinese team, and the pace of both sides began to slow down.

"What should we do now?"

Wu Jie was also entangled in his heart. Now it was the French's turn to be content with the status quo.

This score is completely acceptable to the French team. If it maintains it until the end, they can wait for tomorrow's game between England and Czechoslovakia to decide their fate.

Of course the Chinese team is not willing to accept a defeat, otherwise if England and Czechoslovakia draw tomorrow, they will instantly become last place.

Then there is only one choice. Since losing one goal means losing, losing two goals means losing, now we can only attack and fight.

Wu Jie took advantage of the dead ball to go to the sidelines to have a brief exchange with Su Yongshun. The Chinese team quickly replaced Chi Shangbin with Liu Haiguang.

At this time, the Chinese team had actually changed to a 4-4-2 formation, and Wu Jie's position was the de facto forward from the beginning.

The French team also began to fight tit for tat, replacing Stopela, who was suspected of joining the party, and replaced him with a defensive midfielder to strengthen defense. Now they are playing a 4-4-2 formation.

But after both sides completed substitutions, it was the French team that continued to create threats.

At this time, the French were obviously using a total attack and total defense strategy.

As long as the Chinese team presses forward and attacks, the French team will use its strong midfielder and two star defenders to press and defend.

As soon as the ball is exchanged at this time, the French team can immediately switch from defense to offense and attack across the board.

If Lin Yaodong hadn't made two wonderful saves in front of the goal in a row, the score would have been widened again.

Although Wu Jie was anxious, he had played two thousand games after all, and he knew very well that if he wanted to make a comeback at this time, he had to rely on his personal ability to turn the tide.

Therefore, in the eyes of outsiders, he began to become a bit sticky and fell into the worst option of fighting alone.

But if we don't play like this, besides Chen Haonan, who else on this team can help on the offensive end?

In the 76th minute of the second half, Wu Jie finally used his personal ability to complete a continuous dribble and forced a free kick 24 meters away in front of the goal.

The Frenchman was naturally extremely nervous. This position was much more dangerous than the opening goal.
