Rebirth 1994: Football Situation

Chapter 218
Ranked first in the standings, cheering fans all over the country. Now the Chinese team is in a very favorable position. They are one point ahead of Iran, and they still have one game less. Even if the Iranian team wins the last game, it is already basically Qatar, which was eliminated early, has a maximum of [-] points, and the Chinese team can reach [-] points as long as they win the next game.As for Saudi Arabia, as long as the Chinese team does not lose to their opponents away, and then wins Kuwait at home, they can also overwhelm their opponents.

Four points!As long as the Chinese team scores four points in the next two games, they will definitely be able to directly enter the World Cup as the first in the group!Even if they don't get four points, as long as they beat the Saudi team in the next game, they can also get the first place in the group!

In the away game against Saudi Arabia, the Chinese team will have [-] points if they win the game, and even if the Iranian team wins Qatar, they will only have [-] points. With thirteen points, Kuwait only has eight points now, and only eleven points for winning against China in the final round. That is to say, as long as they win this game, the Chinese team will secure the first place in the group one round ahead of schedule.

If there is a tie, the Chinese team needs to win Kuwait in the last round to ensure the first place in the group. However, the Chinese team is at home in the last round, and the possibility of winning is quite high.

Even if they lose to Saudi Arabia and win Kuwait, the Chinese team can at least keep the second position and compete for No.3. That is to say, the current situation of the Chinese team can be said to be the best in history!

Of course, Pei Wei does not want the Chinese team to qualify as second in the group. Although China is not afraid of No.2 Japan in Group B at all, if they can qualify as No.1, why do they have to go to the play-offs?
"Winning Saudi Arabia is of course the best. Even if it is a tie, it is an acceptable result-but we must not lose! We can't pin our hopes on the last round of Qatar pulling us or the play-offs. In 82 We lost in the play-offs!"

After arriving in Riyadh, at the meeting of the national team, Pei Wei said the above words, and then he threw out a goal that fans hated in history: "Keep a tie and win."

However, unlike in history, the Chinese team can accept a draw. In any case, winning at home in Kuwait is much better than winning in an away game in Saudi Arabia. This is not conservative, but prudent.

The more favorable the situation is, the more cautious we need to be. After all, the strength of the Chinese team in Asia has not yet reached the point where it can beat anyone to annihilate anyone. To be able to have this good situation today is to fight back step by step!

"In the game against the Saudi team, the most important thing is to pay attention to defense. After all, it is an away game. We must take into account the factors of the fans and the referee. We will counterattack quickly with a solid defense and use the speed that the Saudis are most afraid of. !" Benitez announced his tactic.

The goalkeepers still used Ou Chuliang and Xie Feng as the right back. Because left back Wu Jiying and center back Zhang Enhua received a yellow card in the last round and were both suspended, Sun Chenghai appeared in the left back position, while The central defender is composed of Xu Hong and General Fan. With the steady Xu Hong filling in behind, General Fan can give full play to his explosive advantages, and at the same time, General Fan can also make up for the lack of speed of the central defender.

The midfielder, the midfielder, the high school first, the two forwards Li Min and Ma Tian returned to the main lineup again, Nie Fei started three consecutive games-two starts with one goal and one assist, and each of them is very important. Such players will not continue Playing the main force, the head coach is really blind.

The striker is still the combination of Gao Feng and Hao Dong. In the previous game, one scored four goals and the other scored three goals, and they both scored goals as long as they played the whole game, which proved that they are the Chinese team at this stage. The best striker.

Like the game against Qatar, Benitez announced the candidates for the main lineup after resuming training. This is to allow the main players to prepare early. Of course, this lineup is confidential and cannot be leaked before the game.

The goal of "keeping the tie and winning" is only known to the insiders of the coaching staff, not even the players.

There is nothing wrong with the goal of keeping a balance and winning, especially when one's own strength has not reached the level of the leader, and it is not wrong when challenging a strong opponent whose strength is no less than one's own in an away game. Then shouting the slogan "Save peace and win" when there is a chance of survival is really a bit too fucked.

In a situation where victory is necessary, the players must understand that there is only one way to win, such as when they played against Saudi Arabia and Qatar at home, and now, it is time to be cautious.

It is not courage but recklessness to insist on "must win" when the draw is also very favorable.

There is only a thin line between courage and recklessness. The only difference is whether what you pay is worth it or not.

****************************************
King Fahd Stadium, Riyadh, [-] November.

The players of the Chinese team and the Saudi team filed out. The faces of the Chinese team players looked very relaxed, while the faces of the Saudi team players were not very good-looking.

As the Asian champions, the results of the Saudi team in this top ten competition are really not good. After six rounds, they only accumulated [-] points. The loss to Kuwait made their original good prospects dim. It seems that something went wrong. After the six rounds, except for the first round of the home game against Kuwait, they did not score more than one goal. Up to now, the goal difference is still a pitiful zero. It really made the Asian champion face dull.

The unsatisfactory results of the first six rounds forced the Saudi team to a dead end. They must win the Chinese team in this game before they can hit the first place in the group. We can pin our hopes on the play-offs.

Of course, this is what Saudi Arabia does not want to see-as the Asian champion, isn't it a bit of a loss to play in the play-offs?Therefore, this game must be won!This is why the Saudi players have such solemn expressions.

The arrogant Saudis may not know that after the top ten match, they failed to even qualify for the play-offs that they have been looking down on...

The Chinese players greeted the game with a relaxed attitude. Before the start of the game, the coaching staff has been decompressing them-as long as you play carefully in accordance with the tactics arranged by Benitez in the game, put yourself It is enough to take out the best condition!Even if the game is lost, Benitez and Pei Wei will bear the responsibility, you have nothing to do with each other!
One side is heavy, the other side is relaxed. The players of the two sides went to the court with completely different mentalities, which also led to the different performances of the two sides in the game.

The Chinese team has always played unhurriedly. Relying on their physical advantages, they have blocked the Saudi team's fierce but slightly chaotic offense time and time again. Among the opponents in this group, apart from the Iranian team, the other three teams really have no good way to break the Chinese team's defense.

After successfully defending the opponent's attack, the Chinese team's offense also appeared to be very organized. They counterattacked with long passes if they had the opportunity, and slowly pushed the offense to the frontcourt through the possession of the ball in the midfield. The Saudis are not angry.

Even before the end of the first half, the Saudi team completely tore through the Chinese team's defense line through a beautiful cooperation, and then scored a goal through Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, the Chinese team did not appear too flustered, and they were still very patient after the start of the second half. Defense, offense.Although the Saudi team took the lead, they still seemed very anxious, as if they had to score the second goal early to feel at ease.

The contrast between the emotions of the two sides directly led to the final result of the game - in a positional attack, the Saudi team's defense, which was eager to steal the ball to launch a counterattack, exposed a huge hole. Xie Feng relied on speed to force a breakthrough and then went down In the bottom pass, Hao Dong in front of the goal made a beautiful dive to the top to equalize the score!
"Good job!" Pei Wei and Benitez jumped up excitedly at the same time. What made them happy was not only the goal, but also the maturity shown by the Chinese players so far in the game!Only by building a strong self-confidence can the Chinese team have their own real place in Asia!
Through the transformation of Benitez and Pei Wei, as well as the good results in the previous four games, the psychology of the Chinese players has finally sublimated after undergoing severe tests. This is a kind of stable temperament, and this kind of temperament is just It is what the Chinese team lacked in the past, and it is also the biggest reason why they have not been able to win the South Korean team and pierced that layer of window paper.

Only with this kind of mental state of not being surprised by favor or humiliation, and believing in one's own strength at any time, can the Chinese team truly become a first-class team in Asia!

Good news often comes one after another.

Being equalized caused the Saudi team to be in chaos. The idea of ​​"must win" and "a draw or a loss is unacceptable" made them completely lose their composure and began to launch a full-scale attack on the Chinese team!
In fact, this head-to-head attack is not what the Saudi team is good at. On the premise of solid defense and delicate counterattack is the foundation for them to become a first-class team in Asia. Their ability to fight tough battles is far behind that of Iran and South Korea. up.

The aggressively pressing Saudi team left too many holes in the defense. After General Fan made a ferocious shovel to destroy the ball out of the penalty area, the senior high school who grabbed the ball first gave the ball to Nie in front. Fei, Nie Fei didn't waste any chance, Gao Feng quickly inserted in with an exquisite long pass, single-handedly!

Gao Feng, who went straight into the penalty area, was thrown to the ground by the attacking De Yayeya. "Beep—" the referee's whistle sounded, and he ran to the penalty area, pointing his finger at the penalty spot—— penalty !
"Oh—" Huge cheers erupted from the bench of the Chinese team!
