i don't want to be king

Chapter 629 Guest Commentary
Waking up in the morning, even though he couldn't play, Li Liang was still full of anticipation and faint excitement, just like before every official game he participated in.

It’s just that this time is different. The team came to Tehran’s sports channel live broadcast team later than the team, and found Lippi and the team leader two days ago, hoping to invite Li Liang to participate in the live broadcast of the game as a guest commentator.

Li Liang was hesitant at first, he had never had such experience, and he finally agreed to the invitation under the unanimous encouragement of Lippi, the team leader and teammates.

The training environment in the past few days is very poor. There are two training grounds for the Chinese team to choose from. In comparison, the national team chose the outfield of the Azadi Sports Center with relatively better conditions for pre-match preparation.

Li Liang, whose national competition experience is still in single digits, is a little surprised. Isn't this "relative" too exaggerated? !

The better outfield of Azadi Sports Center is not as good as the old Haicheng Ten Thousand People Stadium!Although it is real grass, the turf looks like it hasn't been watered for a long time.

It was a far cry from the training ground before the game in Tashkent against Uzbekistan.

Seeing Li Liang's aggrieved look, Zhou Zhi told him with a smile: "Liangzi, you will know after playing the national team a few more times. This is quite normal!"

Even Madanilo told the players after training that the Iranian team hoped to use such off-the-box tricks to influence the Chinese team's preparations because they were worried about the strength of the Chinese team!As long as everyone continues to maintain the performance against the South Korean team, the game on the 28th will definitely be played.

The situation is very serious. Except for the suspension of Li Liang, who has already provoked the leader, Wen Lei, Wang Yong, and Hao Jingmin's physical condition is not ideal because of the excessive consumption of the game against the South Korean team, and they are all placed on the substitute list.

Lippi continued to form a 433 formation, but it was quite different from the previous game.

In addition to the coach's pre-match preparations, Zhou Zhi and Feng Xiao called everyone together the day before the game.

This time there was no PPT, and several old players talked about the previous game against Iran.

Li Liang himself has done his homework. In the official competition, the Iranian team has always been the most difficult "hard bone" for the Chinese team. In the history of 24 battles between China and Iran, the national team was at an absolute disadvantage with 6 wins, 6 draws and 12 losses. Especially in the 5 games at home in Iran, the Chinese national football team lost all.

What impressed him the most was the Doha Asian Games that he watched at Faxiaojia when he was in high school.

2006年12月9日那届亚运会男足比赛的4分之1决赛中，以2005年荷兰世青赛上场均进3球连斩土耳其、乌克兰和巴拿马，最后以2:3惜败德国队的那支国青队为班底的国家队遭遇伊朗。

This Asian Games team has only joined a few overage players such as Zheng Zhi in the world, and the main goal is to train the team.

In the 40th minute of the first half of the game against Iran, the midfielder of the Iranian team sent a wonderful pass with strong penetrating power. After the striker Bohani got the ball, he used the change of pace to cleverly pass the Chinese team goalkeeper Wang Dalong to get a single-handed chance!
Facing the empty goal, Bohani did not choose to shoot directly. Instead, he turned around and pulled the ball and stopped it on the goal line. He watched Wang Dalei who had been knocked to the ground, and beckoned his teammates to come forward with both hands, and then slowly passed the ball into.

The national team, which was humiliated and humiliated, was completely inspired to catch up when it fell behind.

In the 51st minute, Feng Xiao scored a wonderful volley to equalize the score.

可惜在第63分钟，中国队前锋朱铁动作过大被直接红牌罚下，此后以10人苦战的中国队在90分钟里与伊朗1：1战平。

In overtime, the national team with one less player did not give up.In the 98th minute, Zhou Zhimiao made a pass to Zhou Hai, and the latter made a clever shot in the penalty area to help the Chinese team lead the score 2:1.

However, the good times didn't last long. In the 105th minute, Hasseni broke into the penalty area and faced Wang Dalong with a shot to equalize.The two sides have made no achievements since then, and entered the penalty shootout with a score of 2:2.

In the penalty shootout, Zhou Zhi's half-high ball was saved, and central defender Zheng Ming hit the post. In the end, the national team still lost to Iran 7-8 in the penalty shootout.

Li Liang, who was still an ignorant teenager at the time, was deeply impressed by Bohani's provocative shot, which also made him even more regretful that he could not participate in the game against Iran.

Sure enough, Zhou Zhi, Feng Xiao, Geng Lin and Hao Jingmin, who participated in the big battle in the Chinese team, all recalled this game.

Li Liang found that Bohani's goal was still fresh in everyone's memory.

Unlike the atmosphere during the pre-match mobilization against the South Korean team, the current Chinese players are obviously much more confident.

Everyone finally reached an agreement to temporarily put aside those memories and anger in the past. There is only one goal of this game, which is to take at least 1 point away from the Azadi Sports Center in accordance with Lippi's deployment. !
……

On the morning of the game day, Li Liang set off early and got in the car of the live broadcast team to rush to the scene ahead of time.At noon, under the arrangement of the local reporter of the TV station, we went to the local characteristic restaurant.

When walking to the sports center again, everyone found that something was wrong. There were long queues of vehicles on all the roads passing through the Azadi Sports Center.

In desperation, everyone had no choice but to park the car aside, and started hiking with the fans at a place more than 1 kilometer away from the stadium.

What is surprising is that many Iranian fans recognized Li Liang, and people kept coming to ask Li Liang for autographs and group photos.Some fans even said in broken English: "Lee, No. 1 in Asia, but the victory belongs to Iran!"

He Wei joked: "Liangzi, look, even these Iranian fans say you are number one!
After playing in South Korea, I told you Xue Yang, Liangzi is really a typical football king now! "

Li Liang is modest, of course this is his true attitude now.

He remembered that Jiongjiong once asked himself a question, he worked so hard, did he want to be the king of the ball?

He smiled and replied to He Wei: "I don't want to be the king of the ball.

I just want to play every game well and win more victories with my team."

After entering the stadium and coming to the commentary booth, Li Liang observed for the first time the famous Azadi Sports Center, the home stadium of the Devil, which claims to be able to accommodate 10 people.

It looks like the age of the Haicheng Ten Thousand People Stadium, and it is also an old building with a sense of age.

A large number of fans had poured into the stadium, and it didn't take long for the players of the Chinese team to warm up, which caused boos from the home fans.Xue Yang said with a smile: "The Iranians still have scruples about us."

Li Liang knew that since the departure in the morning, the entire live broadcast team had actually been shrouded in a tense atmosphere.

Facing the top and strongest opponent in this group, the Iranian team, the general view is that the Chinese team is at least half a grade worse than the opponent.All the way until now, everyone is pretending to be relaxed and joking, purely to make each other relax.

With the loud cheers and the roar of horns, the Iranian team began to warm up.

According to Li Liang's observation, the teammates were a little nervous, but their state was very calm, and it even reminded him of the state of his friends before the gang fight in Haicheng.

He understands that what his teammates are nervous about is that after all this is a key battle related to whether or not hope can be preserved, and everyone including himself is not afraid of any opponent, and has already clinged to the last second. determination!
He Wei has already got the lineup list of both sides. The Iranian team has formed the strongest lineup. The Chinese team replaced Li Liang, Hao Jingmin, Wang Yong and Wen Lei with Zhang Xinzhe, Wu Dong, Geng Lin and Jiang Yuning respectively.

After a short wait, the game is about to start.At this time, more fans have entered the stadium.

The Iranian fans shouted tirelessly, and Li Liang was shocked to find that the wall at the top of the stands in the stadium was also full of fans!

He Wei and Xue Yang told Li Liang that this is one of the characteristics of this devil's home stadium. The enthusiasm of the Iranian people for football is unprecedented, and the Iranian team will also explode with amazing fighting power after returning to the home court.

Xue Yang said: "Their coach, the Portuguese Queiroz, is very pragmatic and experienced.

In this top 12 match, Iran is very conservative in the away game. The goal is to score at least 1 point, and they will definitely attack when they return to the home court! "

He Wei sighed: "It would be great if you were Liangzi, it would be completely different to have one more point to control the ball in such a game!"

The players from both sides were ready to play, and He Wei and Xu Yang started to work.

Li Liang put on the headset and began to explain to them with complicated emotions.
