Champion’s Heart

Ten minutes after Zhang Linpeng scored, the Chinese team scored again, this time by Hao Junmin.

Hao Junmin, who couldn't play in Schalke 04, is still very threatening in the national team. He has a solid foundation in breakthroughs on the wing and free kicks.

This time, he relied on an inward cut after a breakthrough from the wing, and then curved the ball to the far corner to send the football into the goal.

2:0! Hao Junmin! The Chinese team leads Kuwait by two goals!

This ball was not assisted by Zhou Yi.

In fact, facing Kuwait, leading by two goals is enough to guarantee the victory of the Chinese team.

But Zhou Yi did not relax.

After the game resumed, he continued to organize the attack and launched an offensive against Kuwait.

Because he is very clear about the next situation.

Qatar, as the host, lost 0:2 in the first game. Of course, they will not easily give up the hope of qualifying for the group stage. The second game is against the Chinese team. No one knows what will happen. . What if the goal difference is needed at that time?

So now if the Chinese team can score more goals, they will score more goals, so as not to suffer from time to time.

Anyway, Kuwait has been beaten by the Chinese team and has no fighting spirit. If you can score one more goal, don't let it go.

He attacked again and again, threatening Kuwait's goal.

The other players of the Chinese team may not have thought so much, just follow the rhythm of Zhou Yi.

In the 77th minute, the Chinese team scored another goal. This time it was forward Gao Lin who scored the goal.

Then Gao Hongbo replaced Gao Lin who scored the goal and replaced Yang Xu.

But he did not replace Zhou Yi. Maybe he and Zhou Yi also had the same idea, hoping to get some more goal difference in the game against Kuwait and prepare for the future.

In the 82nd minute, Yang Xu, who had just played for a short time, used a header in a corner kick to rewrite the score for the Chinese team to 4:0!

The Chinese team is crazy! commentator Liu Hong said excitedly.

This game naturally satisfied the Chinese fans in front of the TV-look at this performance,

How could this team be third-rate in Asia?

※※※

In the end, the score of this game was fixed at 4:0. The Chinese team won with four goals, and their performance surprised many people.

Kuwait lost very depressed. They may not even think of it. They were able to lose so much only because Zhou Yi felt that they needed to gain more goal difference...

After this game, the next group match of the Chinese team will be held in the early hours of January 13th, Beijing time.

The opponent is the host Qatar.

That's going to be a tough game to play...

※※※

Shinji Kagawa's Japanese team made their debut on the second day. To their surprise, they even drew 1:1 with Jordan.

And the Japanese team scored the equalizer in the 92nd minute.

If the Chinese team finally won a group first. But if the Japanese team gets the second place in the group, then they will be in the first round of the knockout round. That is the quarterfinals meet...

Given the huge gap in football strength between China and Japan, this is actually not a good thing.

Five days later, the Chinese team ushered in their second opponent Qatar in the group stage.

Because Qatar lost the first game. They must win the second game to qualify. And if the Chinese team loses to Qatar, then they must beat Uzbekistan in the last game to ensure their qualification.

So for the Chinese team. The second group match is a game that cannot afford to lose, and it is the key battle for qualifying.

In China, there is a more rational voice. When Gao Hongbo mentioned Asia's third-rate and Asian Cup training, he said that it is actually for the Chinese team. Being able to qualify from the group stage is already a great victory, and it can be called a successful trip to the Asian Cup.

Looking at the situation now, the analysis of those rational voices is correct. Take the current strength of the Chinese team and the general environment of Asian football. Being able to qualify for the Asian Cup group stage is indeed worth celebrating.

You know, in the last Asian Cup held in four Southeast Asian countries in 2007, the Chinese team led by Zhu Guanghu did not qualify from the group...

At that time, everyone thought it was a disgrace to Chinese football. However, after these four years of tossing, some people have already felt that with the strength of the Chinese team, it is normal for the group not to qualify...

Did Qatar do something for this game?

Of course I did.

This can be seen from the fact that the Chinese midfielder Yang Hao was given a yellow card just eleven minutes into the game.

As the main defensive midfielder of the Chinese team, Yang Hao, who has excellent running ability and covers a large area, is the iron gate of the team's midfield. As a result, such a defensive player gets a yellow card when he comes up. How will he play in the next 80 minutes of the game? ?

It must have been played timidly, for fear of getting a second yellow card and being sent off.

In this game, the South Korean referee Jin Dongjin will definitely stare at Yang Hao.

Yang Hao was also very upset when he played. When the opponent took the ball in front of him, he didn't dare to make any moves. He could only block the opponent, but he would be passed by the opponent soon.

Except for the yellow card of Yang Hao, the referee Jin Dongjin is more inclined to Qatar in other aspects. As long as there is physical contact, if a Chinese player falls to the ground, he will ignore it, and if it is a Qatari player who falls to the ground , will definitely blow the whistle to punish the Chinese team players for fouls, and pass the ball to Qatar.

Chinese commentator Liu Hong had one-third of his commentary in the first half criticizing the South Korean referee.

But he didn't dare to point out that Qatar has done the refereeing work. In that case, maybe the TV station will receive a protest call from the Qatar embassy during the intermission...

At that time, if a football match broadcast turned into a diplomatic dispute, he would definitely be punished.

Qatar, which had an advantage on the scene, had good luck in this game. In the 27th minute, Joseph Amid suddenly took a cold shot from outside the penalty area. When he shot, no one thought it was a shot. There was no threat, but in the end...the football flew into the goal!

And it's still a blind spot, even Yang Zhipu can't catch it!

I really didn't expect that Amid kicked casually, and even hit a world wave!

The nightmare of the Chinese team seems to be not over yet. In the last lesson of stoppage time in the first half, this Amid took the ball from outside the penalty area, and then suddenly turned around and shot from a long distance. The football bypassed Yang Zhi again. into the goal...

The Chinese team fell behind by two goals in the first half!

Just look at the first half. Will think that the Chinese team has lost, they seem to be beaten. Even a top star like Zhou Yi didn't show his strength at all.

The Qatari fans at the scene were also very excited, and the men wearing hijabs in the stands also showed their crazy side.

But after the start of the second half of the game. But the situation changed...

Zhouyi——!!! Liu Hong yelled excitedly, The ball went in, went in, went in, went in, went in, went in, went in——!!! The second half only started three minutes ago. Zhou Yi used an arc from the edge of the penalty area. The line kick brought back a point for the Chinese team!

When he was shouting like this, Zhou Yi had been buried by his teammates on the court. The Chinese team is celebrating a goal.

The Qatari players were a little dazed. Their people either stared blankly at the Chinese players celebrating a goal, or stared blankly at the football in the goal. I don't understand why I lost the ball.

When Zhou Yi got the ball on the penalty area line just now, everyone was guarding against his pass, but he suddenly kicked and shot. After rubbing out an arc value with his right foot, he bypassed the Qatar goalkeeper who was flying into the air. Spin into the goal...

The ball was impeccable and undisputed, even if South Korean referee Kim Dong-jin wanted to blow the ball out.

After Zhou Yi scored. Qatar also strengthened their marking on him. Sometimes they used foul tactics to push and trip Zhou Yi to the ground, but the referee turned a blind eye.

If you still dare to ask the referee to protest?

Sorry, a yellow card. Because the fragile heart of the South Korean referee can't stand any stimulation.

In this way, the Chinese team's offense could not improve any more. Until the 80th minute of the game, the score was still 2:1, and the home team Qatar led by one goal.

If the Chinese team loses this game, it will be really difficult to qualify for the group stage...

Going home after the group stage may be the result Klopp wants to see, because in that case, the impact on Dortmund will be minimal.

But this is not what Zhou Yi wants.

In the 81st minute, after he got the ball in the frontcourt, after making a fake move to pass the ball, he suddenly turned around and got rid of it in the opposite direction. body, dodging the opponent's arm pulling the jersey.

Then Zhou Yi didn't pass the ball, but directly dribbled the ball into the penalty area!

Zhou Yi's move really surprised the Qatari players, so when Zhou Yi suddenly entered the penalty area, many Qatari players didn't even react.

In fact, Zhou Yi seldom surpasses others in the game, but this does not mean that he will not surpass others, but there is no need to surpass others. Why not pass the ball if the problem can be solved by passing the ball? It's even easier.

Zhou Yi was also a striker in the past, and he still has basic skills. Otherwise, he would not have stood out from the amateur players in the country and won the opportunity to go to Europe. This shows that his basic skills are quite solid, and this kind of extraordinary physical fitness does not need any super excellent physical fitness to support him. It is not difficult for Zhou Yi.

Zhou Yi, who entered the penalty area, made a move to shoot. Two Qatari defenders immediately rushed over, one left and one right, blocking his shot with their bodies, just like closing the door.

But after Zhou Yi's foot fell, he just pushed the football aside...

Gao Lin!

Amid Liu Hong's roar, Gao Lin swung his foot and shot!

The football flew upwards, past the Qatari keeper's fingers, crashed headfirst into the lower edge of the crossbar, and bounced back into the goal.

The ball went in!

The Chinese team equalized the score!

Gao Lin didn't seem to expect that he would score a goal. When that kick went out, he thought he would kick it away again... If the ball flew away, he would probably feel guilty for a long time.

Gao Lin, who was in a daze, didn't come back to his senses until he was hugged by Zhou Yi.

The Chinese team equalized the score!! (To be continued.) Launch a new website
