Frost Shooter of Greenery

Chapter 724 The Battle of Tianhe
After accepting the comprehensive examination arranged by Chelsea, Zize chose to receive treatment, but the recovery cycle of this treatment is very fast, which is commonly known as conservative treatment. He rested in London for a week. He planned to play three days before the national team match, which is June [-]. On the day of Children's Day, I flew to Guangzhou to meet with the national team.

According to Qi Ce's personal wishes, he definitely hopes to participate in the two games against Iran and South Korea, but his injury forced him to withdraw from the national team's joint training. Practice, go straight to the game.

This is already the norm for a big-name superstar like Qi Ce, especially now that he is still a little injured. In fact, the best choice is not to participate in the Iran game, take a good rest, and then go all out in the game against South Korea. go.

But who can guarantee victory!

Qi Ce was not able to win against Iran when he was there. The South Korean team is actually not worse than Iran, or even stronger. In addition to Qi Ce, part of the reason for China's victory over South Korea is that the entire national team has a stronger sense of confrontation with South Korea. Many fans and even players regard the Koreans as a mortal enemy that must be defeated, while Iran does not have such a strong confrontational mood.

This kind of sentiment can make up for the gap in strength in a good direction, but if there are bad signs, a collapse is not unimaginable.

If the two games are lost, the Chinese team will fall to the third place in the group, and then compete with the third place in another group for a qualifying match, and then compete with the third place in the Central American group for a World Cup ticket.

There are too many variables in this case!

Qi Ce doesn't like things with too many variables. I believe most Chinese fans think the same way. As the new Asian champion, he should go straight to the World Cup!

The enthusiasm for the UEFA Champions League has not subsided. Chinese fans have ushered in the World Cup that is even more interesting to them. The sixth round of the World Cup Asian qualifiers will start. Guangzhou Tianhe Sports Center, the opponent is the Iran team, a traditional strong team in West Asia.

A week before the big battle, there was half good news and half bad news from the Chinese team. The good news was that the Chinese players stood on the podium of the Champions League again to receive the award. The bad news was an announcement from the Chelsea club after the game. After receiving the examination, it turned out that the knee was slightly sprained.

Qi Ce himself stated on Weibo that he will follow the Chinese national team to participate in the two World Cup qualifiers in early June, but many fans are still worried about whether Qi Ce's injury will affect his state. After all, the next two games But they are all fierce battles.

Many fans left messages on Qi Ce's Weibo, expressing the hope that Qi Ce will recover from his injury before playing. Qi Ce, who is far away in London, also expressed his gratitude to the fans for their concerns.

Of course, this matter is indeed of great importance. Qi Ce and Wu Jiawen, who came to the UK, carefully analyzed the pros and cons. The most important thing is the current situation of the Chinese team in the standings.

Twelve points in five games looks really good, but Iran has maintained a record of unbeaten victories so far. Fifteen points in five games has basically booked a place to qualify directly. The rest is who can get the other between South Korea and China. A question about the number of direct qualifying places.

Although the Chinese team has basically secured the top three in the group, there is an essential difference between third and second.

If they suffer a two-game losing streak in the next two games, they will definitely drop to third place in the group with [-] points in the seven rounds. In this case, even if they take all three points against Lebanon in the final round, they will only get [-] points in total. , it is impossible for Iran to catch up, and the South Korean team depends on the situation.

If South Korea wins China, win one of the other two games - this is not very difficult, because the opponents of South Korea's other two games are Iran and Lebanon, Iran aside, Lebanon is for the South Koreans Nine times out of ten, South Korea can get at least six points, which is higher than the fifteen points of the Chinese team.

So I came to a conclusion.

At least the game against South Korea must be played!
As long as they can get even one point from South Korea, it will be tantamount to holding back the progress of South Korea. In the next round against Lebanon, they will try their best to win, and the Chinese team will be able to score [-] points.

However, the possibility of the South Korean team defeating Iran must also be considered, so the best result is still to play both games.

……

In June, summer is here.

June is the graduation season, a harbinger of summer vacation, a season suitable for sunshine, beach, and seaside. If there is a world competition, it may be sports. It is the summer of football, but this year there is no world competition, World Cup qualifiers It's the most important game.

On the first day of June, Qi Ce appeared at Shenzhen Baoan International Airport. This time, the Football Association considered that Qi Ce was too famous and there were too many fans who came to pick him up. Considering Qi Ce's recent injury, the Football Association came to pick him up. Too many fans on the plane will disturb the rest, so I booked a ticket to Shenzhen.

From Shenzhen Airport to Tianhe Stadium is just over an hour away, and it takes about [-] minutes from Baiyun Airport to Tianhe Stadium, which is not much worse.

Gao Hongbo had a phone call with Qi Ce before Qi Ce arrived in Shenzhen, and said that Qi Ce would not start the game against Iran, but would enter the bench, observe the situation on the field before making a decision, and try to avoid injuries, because against Iran South Korea's game is the top priority. South Korea and the Chinese team are currently the main competitors. Iran's clear goal in this game is to keep the tie and win.

Zize also agreed to this decision, which is the best decision under the current circumstances.

However, this will disappoint many fans who come to Tianhe Stadium. Qi Ce is very popular in Guangdong, the main reason is his milk tea brand. Guangdong is the main battlefield of Qi Ce milk tea brand. There are more than 20 stores, Shenzhen also opened dozens of stores, Guangzhou even has more than Shanghai, and there are only more than [-] Q iced tea stores in Shanghai.

In addition, Qi Ce also personally discovered a player from Guangdong, Chen Chaojie, who is currently playing in Sparta Rotterdam. Although there are more and more players studying abroad, generally speaking, only a dozen or so players are worth looking forward to. Among them, Chen Chaojie, who was born in 1995, is the youngest and most promising star.

The combination of these elements makes Qi Ce very popular in Guangdong. From the perspective of domestic support, it is second only to Shanghai.

But in the game against Iran, Zize could only watch from the bench in the opening stage.

Today's starting lineup for the Iran match has also been released. The striker is partnered by Gao Lin and Wu Lei. The two are one in front of the other. The midfield partners are Yang Hao and Zhao Xuri, the central defender combination is Feng Xiaoting's partner Du Wei, the two sides are Li Xuepeng and Zhang Linpeng, and the goalkeeper is still Zeng Cheng.

On the Iranian side, players including Nekonan, Dejaga, and Shejayi all started, and there is also a 20-year-old teenager Jahan Bakhsh. These are all Iranians who are or have been in Europe. In addition, most of Iran is composed of domestic leagues. There are not as many overseas players as Japan and South Korea, but their strength is very strong.

In the last round at the Asadi Stadium in Hedland, Zize also lost 2:3 in the presence of Zize. Now that Zize is not there, the gap in strength between the two sides is even greater.

But everything still depends on the specific situation on the field.

In the absence of Qi Ce, the Chinese team's tactics are very clear, put the bus!

Only Gao Lin and Wu Lei were left in the frontcourt to fight back, and the rest of them defended in their own half. As a central defender, Zhang Linpeng is also used as a central defender in the middle, and his side is handed over to Yu Hai who retreats back to defend, while Hao Junmin is often used as a midfielder in the middle.

When counterattacking, Gao Lin will often pull the side, and Wu Lei will run behind him. Although he has not counterattacked a few times, Wu Lei has a shot that is quite threatening.

This is Feng Xiaoting dodging to press after stealing in the backcourt, and directly driving forward with his big foot, Gao Lin's header kicked back, Wuba's speed was very fast, and he broke out from the crowd!
This is almost a semi-single chance!
But Wu Lei's shot hit the Iranian goalkeeper and went out of bounds!

This was the best chance for the Chinese team in the first half, and it was the only shot on target. But what is more surprising is that Iran did not actually have too many good chances.

With Gao Hongbo resolutely placing the bus, the Iranian had only seven chances to shoot, and two of them hit the target, which is not outstanding.

　Well, even though I don’t feel a bit embarrassed to see the national football team playing like this while the protagonist is not there, it seems that I can still distinguish between fiction and reality.

　　what……
