Chapter 177 The host who was driven to a dead end

Ten minutes after Zhang Linpeng scored, the Chinese team scored another goal. The person who scored this time was Hao Junmin.●⌒,.

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

This time, he relied on the inward cut after breaking through the wing, and then curved the ball into the far corner and sent the football into the goal.

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

This ball was not assisted by Zhou Yi.

In fact, facing Kuwait, leading by two goals is enough to ensure the Chinese team's victory.

But Zhou Yi did not relax.

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

Because he is very clear about the situation ahead.

As the host, Qatar lost 0:2 in the first game. Of course, they would not give up their hope of qualifying in the group easily. The second game was to play with the Chinese team. No one knows what the game would be like at that time. What if they need to win the goal difference at that time?

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

Anyway, Kuwait has been beaten by the Chinese team and has lost its fighting spirit. If you can score one more goal, don't let it go.

He launched attacks again and again, threatening Kuwait's goal.

Other Chinese players may not have expected that so many, just followed Zhou Yi's pace.

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

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

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

In the 82nd minute, Yang Xu, who had just been on the court, used a header to 4:0 for the Chinese team in a corner kick!

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

This game naturally made the Chinese fans in front of the TV satisfied. Look at this performance. How could this team be a third-rate Asian?

※※※

In the end, the score of the game was frozen at 4:0. The Chinese team won four goals, and the performance made many people look at it with admiration.

Kuwait lost very depressedly. They may have never imagined that they could lose so much just because Zhou Yi thought he would get more goal difference...

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

The opponent is the host Qatar.

It would be a very difficult game...

※※※

The Japanese team where Shinji Kagawa was located appeared on the next day. What was a bit surprising was that they actually tied 1:1 with Jordan.

Moreover, the Japanese team equalized the goal in the 92nd minute.

If the Chinese team really wins first in the group and the Japanese team wins second in the group, then they will meet in the first round of the knockout round, that is, the quarter-finals...

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

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

Because Qatar lost the first game, they had to win the second game to ensure qualifying. If the Chinese team lost to Qatar, then they had to defeat Uzbekistan in the last game to ensure qualifying.

So for the Chinese team, the second group stage is a game that cannot be afforded to lose and is a key battle to qualify.

In China, there is a more rational voice. When Gao Hongbo spoke about the "third-rate Asian" and "Asian Cup training", he said that for the Chinese team, being able to qualify from the group is already a great victory, and it can be called a successful Asian Cup journey.

Now look at this situation. The analysis of those rational voices is correct. With the current strength of the Chinese team and the overall environment of Asian football, it is indeed worth celebrating to be able to qualify in the Asian Cup group stage.

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

At that time, everyone still felt that it was simply a shame for Chinese football. However, after four years of tossing, some people already felt that it was normal for the Chinese team to not qualify in the group with the strength of the Chinese team...

※※※

Has Qatar done some work for this game?

Of course it was done.

This can be seen from the eleven minutes before giving the Chinese midfielder Yang Hao a yellow card.

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

I must have kicked with my hands and feet, for fear of being sent off if I get the second yellow card.

The Korean referee Kim Dong-jin will definitely stare at Yang Hao in this game.

Yang Hao was also very unhappy in the kick. 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 soon be passed by the opponent.

In addition to Yang Hao's yellow card, 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. If a Qatar player falls to the ground, he will definitely blow the whistle and punish the Chinese player for a foul and tell Qatar the ball rights.

One-third of the commentators of Chinese commentators Liu Hong criticized the South Korean referee in the first half.

But he didn't dare to make it clear that Qatar has done the referee work. In that case, maybe the TV station would receive a protest call from the Qatar Embassy during the intermission...

At that time, a football game will become a diplomatic dispute, and he will definitely be punished.

Qatar, which had the advantage in the scene, had good luck in this game. In the 27th minute, Joseph Armid suddenly shot coldly outside the penalty area. When he shot, no one felt that the shot was threatening, but in the end... the football flew into the goal!

And it was a blind spot, which made Yang Zhi unable to pounce!

I really didn't expect that Armid would kick it casually and even hit a world wave!

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

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

If you only look at the first half, you will think that the Chinese team has already lost, and they seem to be stunned. Even the number one star like Zhou Yi has not shown any strength at all.

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

However, after the second half of the game started, the situation suddenly changed...

"Zhou Yi!!!" Liu Hong shouted excitedly, "The ball is in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in,!!! It only took three minutes to start the second half, and Zhou Yi used a curved ball to score a point for the Chinese team at the edge of the penalty area!"

While he was shouting so wildly, Zhou Yi was already buried by his teammates on the court. The Chinese team was celebrating the goal.

The Qatar players were a little stunned. Their people were either staring at the Chinese players celebrating the goal or staring at the football in the goal, not understanding why they lost the ball.

Just now, when Zhou Yi was getting the ball on the penalty area line, everyone was guarding against his passing. Unexpectedly, he suddenly shot, rubbed a curve with his right foot, and bypassed the Qatar goalkeeper who had taken off the air and screwed into the goal...

This ball is impeccable and undisputed. Even if the South Korean referee Kim Dong-jin wants to blow the ball out, it is impossible.

After Zhou Yi scored, Qatar also strengthened his defense. Sometimes they used foul tactics to push Zhou Yi down and trip to the ground, but the referee turned a blind eye.

What if you dare to protest with the referee?

Sorry, there is a yellow card. Because the Korean referee is fragile and 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 unlucky to qualify in the group...

Going home after the group stage may be the result Klopp hopes 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, he made a fake move to pass the ball, but suddenly turned around and got rid of it in the opposite direction. The opponent was caught off guard and wanted to use a foul action to stop Zhou Yi, but Zhou Yi turned around and avoided the opponent's arm pulling the jersey.

Then Zhou Yi did not pass the ball, but directly dribbled the ball into the penalty area!

Zhou Yi's moment was really beyond the expectations of Qatari players, so when Zhou Yi suddenly entered the penalty area, many Qatari players didn't even react.

Zhou Yi actually rarely surpasses the ball in the game, but this does not mean that he will not surpass the ball. It just doesn’t need to surpass the ball. Why don’t you pass the ball if you can solve the problem with passing? It’s more convenient.

Zhou Yi was born as a striker in the past, and he still had basic skills. Otherwise, he would not have been able to stand out from among the amateur players across the country and win the opportunity to go to Europe. This shows that his basic skills are quite solid, and this kind of extraordinary skill does not require any super outstanding physical fitness to support him, and it is not difficult for Zhou Yi.

Zhou Yi, who entered the penalty area, made a move to shoot. Two Qatari defensive players rushed over from left to right, blocking his shot with their bodies, just like closing the ball.

But after Zhou Yi's feet fell, he just pushed the football to the side...

"Gao Lin!"

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

The football flew upwards, crossed the Qatar goalkeeper's fingers and then hit the bottom of the crossbar, and then rebounded and fell into the goal.

The ball has entered!

The Chinese team equalized the score!

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

Gao Lin, who was stunned, did not come back to his senses until he was hugged by Zhou Yi.
