Chapter 127 Meeting the Finals
Hanoi Stadium, another match between Iran and Japan in the semi-finals of the Asian Youth Championship is still going on.

Now the time has come to No. 805 minutes of the game. The score on the field has not changed and is still 0 to 0, but the Iranian team has formed a suppression of Japan on the scene.

In the past 85 minutes, the two sides played neither plague nor fire, and the chances created were also very few.

The Iranian side shot 6 times and only had 9 shots on target.The Japanese team shot three more shots than Iran, with a total of [-] shots, but none of them were on target, and most of the shots were long shots.

In terms of ball possession rate, the Japanese team has a great advantage. The ball possession ratio is four to six, and the Japanese team is six to four from the Iranian team.The Japanese team has a great advantage in ball possession, but the data of attacking the opponent's [-]th area is very embarrassing, which is one-third less than that of Iran, which has only [-]% of the ball possession rate.The Iranian team has attacked the Japanese team's [-]th area more times, but it only has two more shots, and the total number of shots is not as good as the Japanese team.

With such an offensive efficiency, it is not surprising that the score is zero to zero.

It is said that there is no name in the big game. The closer the team gets to the end, the more cautious they will be, and the more they will pay attention to the quality of defense.Now the match between the Iranian team and the Japanese team has such a point, the meaning of the unknown game of the competition.

A set of data can also reflect the characteristics of this non-offensive-foul data!

The Iranian team fouled up to 32 times and paid the price of six yellow cards.The Japanese team also committed a lot of fouls, with a total of 27 fouls and seven yellow cards.

Most of the fouls by the two sides were concentrated in the middle of the midfield where the two sides exchanged fire. 13 of the 9 yellow cards appeared here.It can also be seen from this that the two sides are so keen on the midfield competition that they even forget such an important thing as shooting!

Of course, forgetting to shoot is a joke. Japan and Iran are the top teams in Asia. They rank second in Asia in shooting. No country can be ranked first.

The reason why they are keen to compete for the midfielder is that they are aware of the importance of the midfielder. The so-called winner of the midfielder wins the world. Can the two teams not work hard?

The Japanese team is known for their skills at their feet and focuses on pass control. If they lose the midfield control, the Japanese team will not be far from defeat.

The Iranian team is the Asian team closest to the European style of play. Although they are not as obsessed with the midfield as the Japanese team, they are also aware of the troubles that Japan will bring if they control the midfield.So Iran's goal is very simple, don't think about what I don't want.

Therefore, it can often be seen in the game that the Japanese team shrinks in their own backcourt and reverses, and the advantage of ball possession rate also comes from this.As soon as they reach the midfield, they will be robbed by Iran, and it is difficult to infiltrate the frontier of the Iranian team's penalty area.This also explains why the Japanese team didn't have a single shot, far away from the penalty area and interference, it's really hell to be able to shoot on target.

The Iranian team's poor offense is because they put too much energy on restricting Japan from seizing the midfield. The troops invested in the offense are too thin and the offensive sharpness is not enough.

It wasn't until 75 minutes into the second half that Iranian coach Peravani reacted. While restricting Japan, he also restricted himself to death, and then made adjustments in offense.

After jumping out from the horns that restricted the Japanese team, the Iranian team created two opportunities within 10 minutes, and those two shots were completed within these 10 minutes.

After 10 minutes, Iran completely suppressed the Japanese team. The Japanese team's pass control had nothing to hide under the fierce pressure of the Iranian team and could only retreat steadily.

Now the Japanese team coach Sasaki's consideration is to drag the game into a penalty shootout, defeat Iran through penalty kicks, and it is no longer possible to defeat Iran in a sports game.However, there is still more than half an hour before the penalty shootout, and the Japanese team has a faint tendency to collapse under the strong attack of Iran.

"Nanye-kun! Be careful behind you!"

Japanese defender General Sakai was forced to play the ball in a panic. When he looked up to the direction of the ball, he found that Takumi Minano, who was catching the ball with his back, rushed up behind several Iranian players. Iranian forward Aziz, who made General Sakai fear Meng is among them.

"Sakai!!!"

Minano Takumi faintly felt a few gusts of wind behind him, so he didn't dare to catch the ball and turn around.Being broken at the front of the top of the arc in the restricted area is undoubtedly a pretext for others.He could only return to General Sakai. Although there were Iranian players within three meters of Sakai, it was better to face the enemy than to turn his back on the enemy.

However, Takumi Minano regretted it after passing the pass. General Sakai missed the ball on the right side of the penalty area, and the ball bounced off his calf and out of control.Iranian defender Morteza Praliganj, who had been pressing General Sakai, took the opportunity to get the ball.In order to make up for his mistakes, Takumi Minano and Admiral Sakai flanked Morteza Praliganji back and forth.

"Moore!"

Seeing that Morteza Praliganj was about to be double-teamed, Azmon yelled.Morteza Praliganji heard the sound and recognized the direction, half turned and drew to the middle.

The ball was passed from the gap between Takumi Minamino and Admiral Sakai, and Azmon in the middle was able to shoot with his foot!At this time, another Japanese midfielder Shibazaki Yue came from Azmon's side with a shovel.

Azmon reacted in a timely manner, changing his ankle to a pull, and easily avoided Shibasaki Yue who was intercepted by a sliding shovel.At the same time, Azmon's change also shook several Japanese defensive players in front of the goal, including the goalkeeper.

"It's over!"

All the defenders on the field made defensive moves, but Azmon didn't shoot!Sasaki's heart skipped a beat!
Avoiding Shibazaki's sliding shovel interception, Azmon exerted force on the spot, his movements were coherent and fast, and it was too late for the Japanese players to react!

"Oh!"

After the foot touched the ball, there was a loud noise. Azmon's shot was powerful and heavy, extremely fast but without any angle, but the Japanese goalkeeper could only stare blankly, because he had already made a defensive move.The ball was not blocked by anything and went into the net!
One to zero!Iran lore!

The Japanese team finally failed to withstand...

Under the heavy pressure, the Japanese team made a wrong step, Sakai blindly played the ball, Nanye blindly sieged and lost his position, Shibazaki made up the defense in a panic, did not shovel the ball but shook his teammates... After Azmon scored a goal, including the main Including coach Sasaki, all Japanese players covered their faces with their hands, and they did not want to believe that they were eliminated.Several "involved" players even knelt down on the ground, apart from remorse, there were no other emotional factors in their hearts...

The Iranian team led 1-0 with Azmoun's goal. At this time, the game has entered the injury stage, and the Japanese team has no chance to equalize.

After 2 minutes, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game.Iran successfully eliminated Japan and the Chinese team to meet in the final of the Vietnam Asian Youth Championship.
