When Zhou Yi passed the football to the side, many people didn't expect where Zhou Yi passed the ball to whom.￥f, until they found that Hao Junmin appeared in sight.

The wing player raised his foot and stopped Zhou Yi's ball, then dribbled the ball and rushed towards the Iraqi goal.

At this time, Iraq had only two central defenders in the backcourt except the goalkeeper.

After Hao Junmin used his skills to get rid of the first Iraqi player who rushed up, he had already reached the edge of the Iraqi penalty area.

Next he kicked the ball decisively!

The football came into contact with the second Iraqi player who came up to block his shot. There was a slight change in line, which was not very large, but it just bypassed the Iraqi goalkeeper's fingers, and then flew into the goal against the inside of the far post!

"Good ball! Good ball!!! Hao Junmin! The Chinese team led 1:0 in the away game!" Liu Hong raised his arms excitedly and shouted. "This is good news!"

Hao Junmin was also very excited. After scoring the goal, he ran to the bottom of the stands and waved to the Chinese fans in the stands, winning cheers and applause from the Chinese fans.

Then he turned around, and Zhou Yi and others had already run up.

They hugged each other again.

Iraqi players made the best background board for their celebration.

The commentator of Qatar TV was stunned and did not report the competition immediately.

I really didn't expect that the Chinese team scored the first goal in the game where Iraq had the advantage...

However, this unexpected feeling is just the illusion of the Qatar commentator. In fact, with Iraq's playing style, it will be a matter of time before they lose the ball...

Gao Hongbo on the sidelines was also very happy to celebrate the goal with his assistants, and they celebrated together.

This goal was scored by the Chinese team through a typical defensive counterattack. There were only two people involved in the entire goal process, one was Zhou Yi who passed the ball, and the other was Hao Junmin who shot.

What does this mean?

This shows that his arrangement is correct, and he handed over the decision on whether to counterattack or not to Zhou Yi, and at the same time, let Hao Junmin fight back in the frontcourt driver.

Defensive counterattack does not require too much force to invest, so there is no need to worry about being seized by the opponent after attacking.

It depends on personal ability.

Although Hao Junmin didn't play much in Germany and returned to China, he has been training in a Bundesliga club for a season and a half. In terms of football philosophy and consciousness, he is the closest thing to Zhou Yi in the national team.

So since you can't rely too much on Zhou Yi, you can appropriately increase Hao Junmin's tasks.

Judging from this ball, this idea has been implemented well.

※※※

After the Chinese team scored a goal, they returned to the defensive counterattack state, and did not take advantage of the situation to score another goal. This is Iraq's home court after all, and they know what tricks the West Asians will play at their home court.

So the Chinese team is very cautious.

They retreated after the goal and continued to score the goal, as if they hadn't scored at all, and still wanted to get a draw away.

But Iraq knows that the scores are different, and the next game is different!

They have no choice but to continue to attack the Chinese team's goal, and they don't care about the gap behind them. If the Chinese team seizes the opportunity to score a goal... it will be over, but if they dare not attack because of fear of this matter, that's just a joke!

For the two teams that are playing, they are both opponents that must be defeated. If Iraq wants to turn the tables, it must defeat the Chinese team at home, which is the same as the Chinese team wanted to defeat Iraq at home.

Iraq's fierce offensive brought great pressure to the Chinese team. In the 80th minute, right-back Zhang Linpeng received a red card for a foul and was directly punished.

The situation suddenly became extremely unfavorable to the Chinese team.

The Iraqi and Qatar fans in the stands cheered and seemed to see Iraq equalizing the score and even defeating the Chinese team. There were still ten minutes left in the game. They might think Iraq could score two goals in a row.

It is not unreasonable to think about it this way. When any team is suddenly sent off, their psychology will always experience some emotional fluctuations.

But this situation doesn't apply to this game...

Because just when Iraq caught the Chinese team and launched a large-scale attack, they were once again hit by the Chinese team to counterattack.

This time, there were still only two people participating in the offense, both in the same format as Hao Junmin's goal. The passer was Zhou Yi, but the person who received the ball and shot was replaced by Gao Lin.

This time, Zhou Yi did not pass the football to the side, but directly passed it to the core area of ​​Iraq. Because Iraq was too overwhelmed, there were no people in their core area. When Gao Lin received the ball there, some people even thought he was offside, but in fact, when Zhou Yi passed the ball, Gao Lin was not offside.

After receiving the ball, Gao Lin turned around and dribbled the ball forward, took only a few steps, and entered the penalty area. Then, facing the Iraqi goalkeeper who was attacking, he chose to shoot.

The football flew over the goalkeeper's head and fell into the Iraqi goal.

In the 82nd minute, the Chinese team led Iraq 2:0 away and almost secured the victory!

"The ball goes in, goes in, goes in, goes in, goes in, goes in, goes!!!" Liu Hong was very excited, much more excited than when he scored the first goal, because although the first goal was scored, it still made him worried that he would be tied by Iraq in the end. However, this goal could make everyone's hearts land in the victory of this game, and it is safe!

Gao Hongbo, on the sidelines, also felt that the game was stable. He slapped hard. He was usually a little shy and now he was smiling happily, his movements were wild and exaggerated.

The Chinese team players all rushed towards Gao Lin, even goalkeeper Yang Zhi.

"How is it? Old Fu. Is Zhou Yi's condition coming out sooner?" Gao Hongbo asked Fu Bo next to him.

Fu Bo smiled and didn't say anything.

He probably was wrong.

But he was very, very happy that he guessed it was wrong.

※※※

Gao Lin's goal completely killed the suspense of the game. Iraqi players lost their fighting spirit after conceding the ball. If the game included injury time, there were still ten minutes left, but it was almost impossible to score two goals in the last ten minutes. It would be good to score one goal. And even if they scored two goals in a row and equalized the score, it would be meaningless to Iraq.

Because taking a draw away is the minimum requirement for the Chinese team, they can fully accept it, but Iraq cannot.

So when I think of this, Iraq has no fighting spirit to continue fighting.

The Chinese team still shrank their defense and waited for an opportunity to counterattack under the leadership of Zhou Yi. They did not get carried away because they had almost locked in the victory, and did not give Iraq any chance.

In the end, the Chinese team defeated Iraq 2-0 away and won a key victory in the key game.

With the victory of this game, the Chinese team scored three points, and their total points in this group became eight points. They temporarily ranked first before the game between Jordan and Singapore was finished. However, in the end they would still be overtaken by Jordan, because there was no suspense in Jordan defeating Singapore at home.

Despite this, the Chinese team has also achieved the best results, and they have squeezed Iraq down. If Iraq wants to qualify from this group and advance to the top ten, they must win all the next two rounds of group matches, especially in the game against Jordan, which must win in order to have hope.

But that is already a problem for Iraq and has nothing to do with the Chinese team.

Next, the Chinese team can challenge Singapore, the weakest in the group, away with a relatively relaxed mentality.

If they can win that game, their points will reach 11 points, and they will also watch the tiger fight, waiting for the results of the match between Iraq and Jordan.

If Jordan can defeat Iraq at home, then the eleven-point Chinese team and Iraq will reach a score difference of seven points. The Chinese team will qualify from the top 20 group one round ahead of schedule and advance to the top 10. The last game with Jordan will have nothing to do with the overall situation. The two teams will qualify together in a very friendly atmosphere.

If Iraq beat Jordan away, their points will reach seven points. With the last game left, they are still four points behind the Chinese team, which is impossible to threaten the Chinese team. Jordan is their direct competitor to qualify from the group.

Even if the Chinese team lost to Jordan in the last game and Iraq defeated Singapore, the Chinese team would qualify as the second in the group.

So as long as you can defeat Singapore in the next game, the Chinese team will already be considered qualified for the top ten games in advance!

Destiny has been firmly held by the Chinese team!

This situation was difficult to happen to the Chinese team before...

Chinese fans were stunned by such happiness for a moment, and before they could react, the situation was actually very beneficial to them.

After the game, everyone started to calculate the score online and found that the Chinese team was only one step away from the top ten games!

Since the 2002 World Cup, the Chinese team has never been able to participate in the top ten stages of the Asian qualifiers. If you tell this, it makes people unable to believe that football, a big country like China, cannot even participate in the last stage of the qualifiers in Asia. It is simply embarrassing!

In the past, Chinese fans never considered that we could not participate in the top ten games. At that time, we were only worried about how the team would break out of Asia and go to the world.

Comparing the past, it seems like a regression to reach the top ten now.

This is of course a kind of regression, but being able to participate in the top ten games is better than a regression that is not even qualified to participate in the top ten games.

After the game, Zhou Yi, who was interviewed by reporters from many countries in the mixed zone, was very happy and said with a smile: "I said before the game that Qatar is our blessed land. I saw that I was right? We won a key game here, which is very important to us. And I also said before the game that I could not stay in our 'lucky hotel', which is a pity, but now I find that the hotel we stayed in this time is also 'lucky hotel'. This is really great. We have two 'lucky hotels' in Doha! The choice is much wider!"

When Chinese journalists heard Zhou Yi say this, they laughed. They all knew why Zhou Yi said this.

Qatar was disgusting before the game. Anyone with a normal IQ knew what was going on, but because of the lack of evidence, it was really hard to say anything. Apart from cursing in his own media, it could not affect the other party at all.

But now it’s different. After the Chinese team defeated Iraq, Zhou Yi mentioned the old story again and mentioned the “lucky hotel”. In the eyes of Chinese reporters, it was simply a slap in the face.

Do you think that blocking our "lucky hotel" can help Iraq defeat the Chinese team?

naive!

We can find another "lucky hotel" to come out!

Next time, if you have the ability, you will close all hotels in Qatar on the grounds of decoration!
Chapter completed!
