In the second half of the game, Wei Shihao replaced Xie Pengfei on the field, and the national team's offense became more intense.
China's free kick on the right side was sent to the penalty area where a Singapore defender accidentally pulled down Gao Junyi and the referee decisively awarded a penalty kick. Fernando, like a calm sniper, hit a low left-footed shot to put the national soccer team ahead again.
Fernando scored his maiden goal for the national team and he celebrated with a succession of flips that brought no end of joy to the fans.
However, right at the crucial moment of the match, Li Yuanyi, who had just been substituted into the match, unfortunately caught red in defense, and China was forced to play with 10 men. Luckily for Singapore, they had already used up their five substitutions and the injured players were unable to play. They also had to play with 10 men. It was certainly fortunate that both teams got their numbers back on the same page.
Wu Lei once again stepped up when the game was tense. In the 84th minute, he made a quick break down the left side and broke all the way into the Singapore penalty area. His sudden right-footed shot hit the target accurately, extending the national soccer team's lead.
In the 89th minute, Zhang Yuning and Wu Lei worked together silently again. Wu Lei skillfully helped Wei Shihao. The latter scored his fourth goal of the game overnight, a perfect end to the national soccer team's victory.
As the captain of the game, Wu Lei's performance was notable, not only opened two degrees, but also contributed exquisite assists, scoring his 36th goal for the national team. His outstanding performance makes people wonder:What would the Chinese team be like without Wu Lei?
The key question is, can the Chinese team find another "Wu Lei"? How many more years do we have to wait?
As media personality Yang Tianying said:Â "Although Wu Lei scored twice in a row, once he misses a goal in the next game, there will still be a lot of people scolding him. This is the public opinion environment of Chinese soccer."
Looking back at the last match, the national soccer team and Singapore shook hands with 2:2, Wu Lei's two valuable goals undoubtedly kept the draw for the national soccer team. However, even so, some members of the media and fans still targeted him, even rudely calling him an irresponsible "Chinese man". It seems that only by scolding and abusing him endlessly can they get a little bit of satisfaction and pleasure in their hearts.
That's the opinionated environment of Chinese soccer that is full of nitpicking and criticism!
But this time, Wu Lei once again proved his strength and value with two goals and an assist. After this game, Wu Lei scored 5 goals in this preliminaries and tied for the first place in the scorer list. To know, the national soccer team only scored 8 goals.
Will the voices of accusation and abuse shut up at this time? Will he be given the respect and praise he deserves!
The win also allowed the national soccer team to leapfrog Thailand into second place in the standings. However, there are still problems such as poor running, lack of concentration and illegal organization. Hopefully, Ivankovic can lead the national football team to keep breaking through and achieve a more brilliant future.
At the same time, we also hope that the fans can give the team more support and understanding. On this road, every fan is the most solid backing of the national football players, our encouragement and support is the source of power for them to continue to move forward. Let's witness the rise of Chinese soccer together.
