Rebirth 1994: Football Situation

Chapter 473 Destruction!

Sweeping Iran four to one, a completely asymmetrical game-this victory won by the Chinese team not only shocked the world football world, but also at least shocked the Asian football world.

The Iranian team lost to the Chinese team, which many people thought of before the start of the game - after all, the Chinese team's advantages lie there - they have the best players in Asia, they have a bye in the first round, they are full of energy, in good condition, and It is a home game, with so many advantages, the possibility of not winning is still very small, but it is quite surprising to be able to overwhelm the Iranian team in both process and score.

In Asia, how many years has it been since Iran lost three goals?At least after entering the 90s, the Iranian team basically did not lose so badly. Except for losing 93-[-] to South Korea in the World Cup qualifiers in [-], they never lost three goals in official games. When they ravage other teams with a big score, it is such a team that is solved by the Chinese team in the same way. How strong is the Chinese team?
The other teams in the same group as China are lamenting that the strong strength of the Chinese team has completely crushed their confidence. Although the Iranian team lost, they still have a considerable advantage compared with them. The game only lasted two rounds. Their chances of advancing have already seemed rather slim.

In the other game of this round, Uzbekistan beat Qatar [-]-[-] at home, tied for first place with Iran and China with three points, and Oman and Qatar only scored one point.

After getting rid of the biggest competitor, Iran, the Chinese team has already achieved a considerable advantage in only one game, which is quite surprising.

The Saudi team in another group was laughing. Fortunately, they and the Chinese team are both first-tier teams. Seeing that Iran was beaten so badly by the Chinese team, I believe it would not be any better if they were replaced by Saudi Arabia. I know that from the perspective of historical results, China has always been more experienced in fighting Saudi Arabia.

While the Chinese fans were still celebrating, the Chinese national team had already flown to Mashcat after a day of rest to prepare for the second round away match against Oman. The next round of the league will not start until September [-]th in the major European leagues, so that the overseas players of the Chinese team can stay in the national team until the fifth round of the top ten match is completed on September [-]th—— The Chinese Football Association has already negotiated with the clubs that own the Chinese national football team. They did not release them back to the club until after the home game against Uzbekistan on the [-]th. Since the Chinese national team did not call up overseas players last season , It also enabled the Chinese Football Association to establish a good cooperative relationship with these clubs, and all the clubs readily agreed to this.

The top ten schedule also helped the Chinese Football Association a huge favor. The first game of the second cycle was originally a conflict with the European League, but the Chinese team happened to have a bye in that round. September 27 and October [-] The two games on the same day coincided with the international football match day, that is to say, the Chinese team in the first six top ten games can call overseas players to participate in the battle.

The time and place are right and the people are harmonious. It can be said that the Chinese team's participation in the top ten competition is going smoothly. If they can't get good results, it will really be hell.

In the away game against Oman, the Chinese team sent out the strongest lineup again. In the first half, the penalty kicks of Adriano and General Fan helped the Chinese team gain a two-goal lead. In the second half, Milu replaced three players in one breath. As a substitute, Yang Tian replaced Adriano, Zhang Xiaorui replaced Nie Fei, Shen Si replaced Ma Tian, ​​but at the beginning of the second half, Yang Tian used a beautiful header in front of the goal to head Shen Si's free kick into the goal. The attacking Oman team finally got a chance to score before the end of the game, but their penalty was saved by Jiang Hai beautifully - [-] to [-], the Chinese team once again won a complete victory!
In another game, it seemed that the Chinese team was hit too hard. The Iranian team played an extremely bad game in Tehran. They actually lost [-]-[-] at home to the Qatar team, and their ranking dropped to fourth place. !

After three rounds, China ranks first with two wins and two wins with six points, Qatar ranks second with four points for three wins, one draw and one loss, Uzbekistan ranks third with three points for two wins and one loss, and Iran wins three games and one loss. Two losses and fourth place, Oman has two games, one draw and one loss at the bottom!
"The Iranian team is having a lot of fun now." Pei Wei smiled and said to Su Mei: "However, with their strength, they can still win the second round of playoffs. Well, if they lose like this, it will be very beneficial to us, maybe in a few more rounds, we can celebrate with champagne!"

********************************************
Iran's draw is indeed very beneficial to the Chinese team-in the case of only the first can directly enter the World Cup, in the competition with the strongest opponent, in addition to direct confrontation, we also hope that the opponent will capsize-at least for now , The Iranian team has capsized once.

After playing Oman, it is an away game against Qatar. The schedule of the Chinese team in the first round is home, away, away, and home. This also makes them not need to fly back to China in the two away games. The distance between Oman and Qatar It's not far away, and the fatigue of the away game has also been reduced a lot.

Although it suffered a small loss in the grouping, the next work of the Chinese Football Association is still very good. Whether it is the first round of byes or the favorable arrangement of the home and away games, the Chinese team has not suffered any losses in this regard, unlike 97 In the top ten games in [-], the Chinese team was running back and forth between East and West Asia. Before the game started, they would have been exhausted. If not for Pei Wei’s generous donation later, he paid for the national team to charter a special plane for them to rest. If so, no matter how high the level of Benitez is, I am afraid that he will not lead the team to a record of four wins and one tie to get the first round in the group.

You must know that when there are a large number of West Asian teams participating in the top ten games, whether the schedule is favorable is very important to East Asian teams like China. After all, the distance between West Asian teams is relatively close. Taking turns at home and away will save a lot of energy compared with the Chinese team. Whether there is an advantage in this point makes a big difference.

The away game against Qatar is a test for the Chinese team. Qatar has caused a lot of troubles for the Chinese team in history, including in 97, they almost overturned the Chinese team in the away game, so many fans are still afraid ——If that game is really lost, the Chinese team will not even qualify for No.2, let alone qualify!
So for this game, the Chinese team also attaches great importance to it. After the game against Oman, the Chinese team flew directly to Doha to start preparing for the game.

The loss of the Chinese team's personnel also made the hearts of the Chinese fans hang. Hao Dong was injured in the last game against Oman. Although it was not too serious, he was unable to play in this game, and the captain Ma Tian And left back Wu Jiying accumulated two yellow cards and both were suspended. The three lines lost a general, especially on the left. Although the Chinese team's offense was mainly initiated by Nie Fei and Sun Chenghai on the right, Wu Wu on the left The combination of Jiying and Ma Tian is a defensive guarantee.

Under such circumstances, Milu made considerable adjustments to the lineup. Yang Tian replaced Hao Dong and appeared on the front line to partner with Adriano. Wu Jiang from Yunjiatianyu will be in charge.

This new lineup did not seem to have any effect in the first half of the game. Qatar stubbornly stared at Adriano, who scored three goals in two games, and constantly threatened the goal of the Chinese team through fierce counterattacks. , Before the end of the first half, he scored the first goal with a free kick in the frontcourt!

Milu did not make substitutions during the intermission, but continued to choose to trust the players on the field—his persistence paid off. Only 3 minutes into the second half, Adriano broke into the penalty area after receiving a pass from Deco. Then he chose to pass the ball unexpectedly, Yang Tian took the risk of hitting the goal post and made a diving jump to the top, and at the end of the point, the ball that was about to pass the bottom line was ruthlessly headed into the goal!

One to one tie!After the equalizer, the morale of the Chinese team was greatly boosted, and they launched wave after wave of attacks against Qatar's goal!

No. 703 minutes of the whole game, Nie Fei pulled the ball to the right and made a beautiful ball. Zhao Junzhe shot in from behind. The ball hit the Qatari defender and popped out of the penalty area. Deco followed up with another long shot. The ball Going straight into the net from the dead corner, the Chinese team took the lead, and Deco also scored his first goal in the top ten match!
Since then, the Chinese team has become more and more courageous, while Qatar’s morale has been hit repeatedly. Before the finale, Qi Hong, who came on as a substitute, was brought down after a breakthrough from the wing. Nie Fei drove the ball into the penalty area and assisted Li Wei, who stepped forward. Shaking his head and attacking the goal, the ball hits the net for the third time!

Three to one!The Chinese team relied on their strong strength to win a precious victory under unfavorable circumstances. The three-game winning streak accumulated nine points and ranked first in the standings. Qatar, which lost this game, slipped to the third place. Uzbekistan scored [-]-[-] at home. After breaking Oman, they ranked second with six points in three games.

But their No.2 did not last long - a week later, the Chinese team returned to the home court to rely on the goals of two central defenders Fan Jun and Li Wei to take Uzbekistan 2-[-]. This opponent reached the third place-the Iranian team finally recovered after a round of rest. They defeated Oman [-]-[-] in the away game, and with six points, they relied on mutual victories to overwhelm Uzbekistan. , back to the position of No.[-] again.

Four consecutive victories!The Chinese team ended the first round of the game in a devastating manner, only one step away from qualifying!
PS: Every time the national team is eliminated, a group of people jump out: a certain international footballer, a certain official, a certain staff member, a certain reporter...all of them are filled with righteous indignation, and they love to swear when they have nothing to do-why the hell did you go?What should we do? We are disgusted already by playing the game, don't still disgust us after the game is over!
Chinese fans, it’s okay to watch the European League and the European Cup in the future, what’s more uncomfortable than watching it?Why are you so upset...
