Spain National Team returned to the court and looked at his opponent in surprise.
Brazil National Team's mental state and the last moment of the first half were simply two different teams.
Although the fighting spirit cannot be said to be high, it definitely does not mean that the fighting spirit has collapsed.
The most noticeable thing is their No. 10 Neymar.
It has always been difficult for Neymar's baby face to give people a sense of stability.
However, now Neymar's face actually has a trace of seriousness and stability that he didn't have before.
Not only the Spain National Team players were surprised, but also many Brazil players couldn't help but look at their captain with surprised eyes.
Go back fifteen minutes.
Neymar walked into the locker room and looked at the people in the locker room who bowed their heads and were speechless. He closed the door, took a deep breath, and said calmly, "Gentlemen, the fall behind in the first half was all because of me!"
This sentence made all the players raise their heads in shock.
What we heard, Neymar actually took up all the mistakes in the first half.
Is this still Neymar?
Neymar looked around at the faces of all his teammates and said calmly, "Let us forget about our lagging behind in the first half. I hope everyone can work together and play well in the second half. Please!"
One player muttered in a low voice, "It's already 0:3, how can we play? No matter how we play, we will lose?"
Neymar did not look at this teammate because many teammates had expressions of approval on their faces.
Neymar clenched his fists and said, "Everyone, if you admit defeat now, are you worthy of the jersey we are wearing?"
After hearing this, many players showed a look of shame on their faces and lowered their heads.
"To admit defeat now, is it worthy of those Brazil fans who have traveled thousands of miles to come to Qatar to cheer for us?"
"To admit defeat now, is it worthy of the domestic fans who are cheering for us in front of the TV?"
After being asked three times in a row, all the players couldn't help but lower their heads.
Looking at his teammates who were already a little embarrassed, Neymar said softly with a hint of unwillingness in his voice, "If you admit defeat now, will you be worthy of yourselves?"
As soon as these words were spoken, all the players couldn't help but trembled, and they all raised their heads with fighting intent in their eyes.
When has the Selecao ever admitted defeat? Even the 1:7 defeat in 2014. Under such circumstances, the players of Brazil National Team did not choose to admit defeat, but fought with Germany National Team until the end.
In the 90th minute, Brazil National Team still tried his best and finally scored a goal to tell the world that Brazil can lose, but we will never admit defeat.
Brazil Head coach Tite was outside the door and never opened it.
When he heard everyone's excited roars coming from the locker room, Tite showed a bright smile.
Neymar, really mature.
He knew the meaning of a captain.
Although Neymar has served as the captain of Brazil National Team since 2018, Neymar has not quite understood what this armband means to him.
Today, Neymar finally fulfilled his responsibility as captain and boosted everyone's morale.
Tite looked at the assistant coach beside him and said calmly, "Today's game has just begun!"
Back on the court, Spain National Team kicks off.
Spain National Team, who originally thought that Brazil National Team had no intention of resisting, became uncomfortable with Brazil National Team's sudden and crazy pressing.
Koke passed the ball to Pedri. Neymar saw the opportunity and quickly grabbed the ball and intercepted it.
As soon as the game started, Spain National Team lost the ball.
Seeing Neymar, who had returned to normal, rushing toward Spain's half with the ball, Li Mingyu couldn't help but frown.
Neymar's dribbling is very samba style.
The football seems to stick to his feet. The frequency of Neymar's feet is variable, and it is difficult for you to steal it directly from his feet.
Alba didn't believe in evil, so he noticed that when Neymar was dribbling the ball, the football was slightly farther away from him, and Alba made a sliding tackle, trying to shovel the ball out of the sideline.
However, this was a trap set by Neymar. Seeing Alba lying on the ground, Neymar suddenly accelerated a little and threw the football directly. Then, with a small jump, he jumped over Alba.
Spain's wing was completely lost.
Gabriel Jesus in the middle and Richarlison on the other side who made no sound in the first half have already outflanked Spain National Team, making Spain National Team's middle players dare not easily come over to defend.
When center back Eric Garcia saw Neymar preparing to continue cutting inside, he could only give up the defense in the middle and cover up.
Neymar saw Eric Garcia move and immediately made a pass.
Neymar pushed the ball sideways and handed it to Gabriel Jesus who stepped in, and he continued to run into the penalty area.
Eric Garcia saw Neymar passing the ball and quickly turned back, preparing to flank Gabriel Jesus.
Gabriel Jesus, who was trapped between the left and right, did not stop the ball. Instead, he gently touched the ball with the outside of his right foot and bounced the ball into the ribs of the penalty area.
Eric Garcia showed a look of horror because he saw a figure wearing Brazil National Team No. 10 jersey appearing in that position.
Neymar.
He and Gabriel Jesus in the penalty area performed a classic one-two in a small area, leaving Spain National Team's defender to watch helplessly as he volleyed from a position one meter in front of the small penalty area.
De Gea, who had no time to attack, could only rely on instinct to make a reluctant save.
But neither his hands nor his body could feel the power of the football.
When he heard the cheers from the whole field, De Gea looked back and saw the football falling from the net and bouncing in the goal, as if he was laughing at himself.
1:3, Brazil National Team got a goal back less than three minutes into the second half.
Brazil fans in the audience cheered like a volcano erupting.
The two brothers Frank and Gustavo were all excited and waving their hats and FIFA World Cup Trophy.
This goal completely ignited the passion of the Samba Kingdom.
After scoring the goal, Neymar rushed past De Gea, picked up the football from the goal, held it in his arms, and ran quickly towards the midfield.
Now is not the time to celebrate.
Brazil National Team's players came over to high-five him one after another, and then followed him consciously.
Seeing Neymar running towards the center circle with his teammates, everyone felt like there was a huge army.
Brazil National Team finally woke up.
Li Mingyu saw that Spain's players were still a little careless, and couldn't help but yelled, "Everyone, cheer up, don't give them any more chances, hold on!"
Li Mingyu's roar made the Spain players show solemn expressions.
But whether they are really on alert, only they themselves know.
After the restart, Li Mingyu received the return pass from Morata and planned to take a stab at it first.
Now when Brazil National Team's morale is high, Spain National Team needs to use his skillful passing control to kill their fighting spirit.
When Li Mingyu saw Gabriel Jesus rushing towards him, he did not dare to neglect and passed the ball to Koke behind him, and made a gesture to calm down.
I don't know whether Koke didn't understand his own spirit, or whether Neymar's pressing put too much pressure on him. Koke made a low-level mistake in the cross pass.
Koke's intention of passing the ball was too obvious. Neymar judged the route of the ball, stepped forward to grab it, and intercepted the pass.
Uncle Ni's!
Li Mingyu was so angry that he yelled Spain's national curse!
Seeing Neymar already gone, Li Mingyu could only quickly chase after him.
After Koke lost the ball, he quickly moved towards Neymar.
However, Neymar was just like a slippery loach, and Koke couldn't use any strength at all. It changed direction twice to get rid of it, and Koke was swayed so that it couldn't find its direction.
Neymar quickly passed Koke and continued to dribble forward.
Although Koke did not break the ball from Neymar, he allowed Neymar to get rid of the ball twice in a row, which was considered as making up for it and allowed Spain National Team's defense to return to the right position.
Even Li Mingyu has been posted behind Neymar.
Neymar Although he has matured a lot, his instinct to like to impress others and show off his skills cannot be suppressed at all.
Many times, Neymar lets the team's great opportunities pass by just because he likes to make flashy passes.
The same is true this time. If Neymar passes the ball across the ball immediately after stealing the ball, on the other side, Gabriel Jesus will have already run into the space between Rodri and the back line of defense.
In this position, as long as Neymar can pass the ball, Gabriel Jesus will pose a huge threat to Spain National Team's defense.
When Li Mingyu was attached to Neymar, the attack was basically over.
However, when Neymar faced the front and back attacks of Li Mingyu and Eric Garcia, he did not choose to pass the ball, but continued to choose to force the inside cut.
Now, Li Mingyu's position is more awkward and he dare not stretch his legs because he is behind Neymar.
As long as you dare to stretch your feet, I will roll on the ground, and you won't get up without a yellow card.--Neymar.
This incision put Li Mingyu into an embarrassing situation.
Eric Garcia followed quickly and was ready to wait until Neymar slowed down, then he would follow up.
But what everyone didn't expect was that after Neymar took a step inside, without getting rid of the defense at all, he directly took off his right foot and fired a powerful volley.
He actually shot directly.
Eric Garcia didn't even have time to complete the blocking action when he saw the football swishing past his arm.
Damn it, I almost had a handball!
Before Eric Garcia could breathe a sigh of relief, he turned around and saw a scene that stunned him.
The football suddenly flew out of the crowd like a discharged cannonball.
De Gea, who was not fully focused, did not expect that Neymar would suddenly shoot, so this time, he was not fully prepared.
When he saw the football sliding out from Eric Garcia's side, De Gea was shocked and quickly judged the trajectory of the football and moved his steps.
A side dive that was not fully extended, De Gea watched in despair as the football slipped through his fingertips and crashed directly into the goal behind him.
2:3, just eight minutes into the second half, Brazil National Team completed two consecutive hits, narrowing the score gap to one goal.
Fans of Brazil National Team can't believe their eyes.
Is this really the Brazil National Team who was beaten so hard by Spain National Team in the first half?
Is this still the Neymar who didn't dare to attack in the first half?
After scoring the goal, Neymar suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, quickly ran to the goal, picked up the football, and quickly ran to the center circle.
Brazil National Team's players were still high-fiving and following him, like a guard camp, guarding their own general returning from a beheading.
This goal greatly damaged the morale of Spain National Team.
Enrique on the sidelines was jumping to his feet and yelling, and he didn't know who he was scolding!
Brazil National Team's head coach Tite showed an ecstatic expression and hugged every player on the bench affectionately.
Neymar, he is indeed a trustworthy man.
Seven goals, Neymar World Cup has scored seven goals in this term, plus the six goals in the previous two terms, his total number of goals in World Cup has reached thirteen.
With these two goals, Neymar successfully surpassed Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, who both scored twelve goals, and became another player comparable to Just Fontaine.
Without Li Mingyu, Neymar would have become the player with the most World Cup goals among active players so far.
Looking at the aggressive Brazil National Team, Li Mingyu's expression was very ugly.
In eight minutes, the opponent was allowed to chase two goals in a row. This situation was a devastating blow to a team.
If you want to stabilize the team's morale, there is only one way, and that is to score goals.
Li Mingyu's eyes became firm. Next, he needed to use offense to help the team regain confidence.
After the restart, after receiving the back pass from Morata, Li Mingyu did not pass the ball out as quickly as the previous two times.
Facing Gabriel Jesus's tackle, Li Mingyu's light stroke of the ball shook the reckless Gabriel Jesus cleanly.
After Li Mingyu passed the ball, he accelerated the ball forward and bumped into Brazil National Team's midfielder Fred.
Fred is the player Brazil National Team specializes in marking Li Mingyu in the second half. As long as Li Mingyu steps into Brazil National Team's half, Fred will follow him step by step.
No matter whether Li Mingyu is walking or running to get the ball, Fred will focus on Li Mingyu.
Facing Fred's dog-skin-like defense, Li Mingyu didn't have much thought. He passed the ball directly to the feet of Pedri who was receiving from the wing, and he quickly ran forward.
Fred didn't care who Li Mingyu passed the ball to, but first stretched out his hand to stop Li Mingyu so that Li Mingyu couldn't get rid of him so easily. Then he quickly turned around and ran forward with Li Mingyu.
When Li Mingyu ran into position, Pedri's pass did not arrive because Fred was right next to Li Mingyu.
