94. Victory
The same heat as the fans expect is the "height" of the tickets for this game.
Tickets for this game were actually on sale as early as September 24, and the tickets released in multiple batches were basically seconds. Two or three days before the game, the price of the ticket exploded at least 3 times, the second-hand ticket information on the Internet shows that the 180 yuan ticket was marked at 1200 yuan on the Internet, the 680 yuan ticket was marked at 1980 yuan, and the 1280 yuan ticket price has reached 2400 yuan. Even so, there are still a bunch of people who can't buy tickets with money.
Not only are tickets hard to grab, but even the genuine jerseys of the national team in the sports goods store near the stadium are sold out, and the hotels near the stadium are fully booked early, and the price has doubled compared to usual.
At 7:35 p.m. on October 6, the Chinese team's match against Syria officially started.
From the first minute of the opening game, the Chinese team in a 4-3-3 formation launched a fierce attack, unlike the Chinese team that mainly relied on long passes to counterattack in history, Lippi's team insisted on walking on the ground and walking on the feet, while paying attention to technology, but also paying attention to confrontation, and the pressure on the opponent began from Nie Jiang on the front line.
In the fifth minute of the first half, Qin Minghao's pressure in the midfield caused the opponent's return pass to the goalkeeper's strength to be too small, and Nie Jiang's timely grab almost made the opponent's goalkeeper make a mistake, but the opponent also drove the ball out of bounds in a hurry.
The Syrian goalkeeper's panic sparked laughter from the Chinese fans in the stadium.
In the next 20 minutes, the Chinese team basically pressed Syria to play, especially Ding Huaiyi on the left side, he mastered the entire wing by himself, and let the opponent's right fullback get a yellow card early.
In the 32nd minute of the first half, after the Chinese team continued to fall in the 30-meter area, Qin Minghao played a through ball, Nie Jiang decisively cut into the penalty area to get the ball and then shot with his feet, and finally the football hit the post and popped up the bottom line.
The fans in the stands let out a loud cry of regret, followed by earth-shattering applause.
"Nie Jiang's shot, oops, goalpost. This goal should have been scored. He Wei, who was commentator, also shouted a little hateful of iron and steel.
His partner Gong Lei persuaded him: "It doesn't matter. Under the leadership of Lippi, the Chinese team played everything they wanted. Scoring goals should be a matter of course. ”
However, until the referee blew the whistle at the end of the game in the first half, the score was still fixed at 0:0.
At half-time, both commentators praised China's performance in the first half. Indeed, with 65 per cent possession, seven triangular shots on target, and a goalpost, the opposition received two yellow cards, so the advantage was obvious. The only pity is that a goal is missing.
At the start of the second half, Syria changed to a yellow carded midfielder, who could not rely on technical tactics to defend, they could only rely on fouls to complete the purpose of defense.
In the middle of the reversal, the game came to more than 20 minutes of the second half, and the fans in the stands began to chant "one in, one in", and the two commentators began to become impatient.
"You can't waste your chance. He Wei looked anxious, "We have so many shots on goal, we want to convert them into goals." ”
"Definitely. We can consider playing simpler. Gong Lei, who has a soft spot for long passes, began to "make suggestions", "There is still a chance to go to a high point in the penalty area." ”
The Chinese team is attacking urgently, and the Syrian side is desperately delaying time.
It was only 30 minutes into the second half, and the Syrian players began to cramp in turn, and even their goalkeeper began to cramp, after the cramp, the goalkeeper signaled that the shoelaces were scattered, and asked his teammates to help tie their shoes, and the teammates did not tie them well for a long time, and he asked his teammates to leave, and took off his gloves to tie his shoes.
After this set of processes, the Syrian players can't wait for the referee to blow the whistle directly at the end of the game.
When Syria's goalkeeper Alema kicked the ball out, the ball was grabbed by Qi Ming in the midfield, and he gave the ball to Zheng Zhi.
Zheng Zhi glanced at Ding Huaiyi on the left side, and drove the ball over with a big foot, Ding Huaiyi's stop this time made Syria a little panicked, because he completed a half-turn while stopping the ball, and then under the squeeze of the Syrian players, he continued to pick up the ball in the air, breaking through the defense of the opponent's two players, and then Ding Huaiyi began to go down, facing the defenders who came over to defend the opponent, and the handsome ox tail that the Chinese fans had been away for a long time finally appeared at Ding Huaiyi's feet.
The Syrian defenders were obviously unprepared, and they were squatted by Ding Huaiyi's buttocks, and then Ding Huaiyi, who entered the penalty area, got a standard inverted triangle pass, and Nie Jiang, who ran successfully, met the ball and swept it, and the football flew into the goal through the armpit of Syrian goalkeeper Al Ma.
"Ding Huaiyi, Ding Huaiyi. Beautiful pick-up, more beautiful flick the tail, pass, Nie Jiang, shoot!It's Nie Jiang, the Chinese team has scored!" He Wei's commentary at this time was almost crying, "Beautiful! The Chinese team has scored! We are now leading 1:0, let you drag the time, this is the punishment for the players who treat the game negatively." ”
"Beautiful, beautiful!" Gong Lei applauded on the side, having forgotten his previous suggestions for tactics, "It's so beautiful." Ding Huaiyi has made meritorious contributions, and most of this goal should be counted on his head. ”
Nie Jiang was celebrating frantically, haha, he was going to take off his clothes. He Wei closed his mouth happily, "his teammates pulled him. Don't let him take it off, but he just wants to take it off, this is a vent for the first two games. The talented 18-year-old striker, who has been expected to do so while also taking on the most pressure, can now vent. ”
"I got a yellow card. Gong Lei's words did not mean to blame at all, "But young players must have the strength to not admit defeat." ”
The Chinese team that scored the goal completely ignited the enthusiasm of the fans in the stands, countless fans from all over the country came to watch the game cheered neatly, countless fans stomped their feet, and the whole stand seemed to look a little shaky in such a wave.
The broadcast camera also came to a moving far-angle panoramic way, and the cheers of the audience and the cheers of the fans with their hands raised were also visible to the audience in front of the TV.
After a goal, it was not that the Chinese team was impatient, but that Syria was impatient, and the players who had cramps before seemed to have eaten a new cover, their waists were not sore, their legs were not painful, and they ran faster and faster, and they grabbed one more fiercely.
But under the deliberate possession of the Chinese team, the Syrian players did all in vain, and Qin Minghao's organization played the opponent in the palm of his hand.
In the thirty-eighth minute of the second half, the Chinese team won another corner kick, this ball The Chinese team did not invest many players, only Nie Jiang, Qi Ming and Ding Huaiyi were in the penalty area, when Qin Minghao's ball was sent, Nie Jiang, who was originally in the center of the penalty area, suddenly rushed to the front point, and his header attack caught Syria's goalkeeper Al Ma off guard, and the ball fell into the net after hitting the lower edge of the lintel.
Nie Jiang shook his head and attacked the door. The goal was scored, and the Chinese team led 2:0. He Wei was very excited, "If you don't make a sound, it's already a blockbuster, Nie Jiang has scored twice, it's amazing." ”
'There was a problem with the opponent's defence. Gong Lei said, "The defender didn't follow the person, the goalkeeper didn't block the near corner, and the ball was conceded." ”
"After scoring this goal, Nie Jiang won't take off his clothes, and if he takes it off, he will be punished. Victory was in sight, and He Wei also joked.
"Haha. That certainly won't. Gong Lei was also amused.
Nie Jiang on the field celebrated so crazy this time, and his teammates from the national team gathered around one after another, touching Nie Jiang's head to congratulate him on his goal.
Shortly after this goal, Lippi replaced Nie Jiang with Wu Lei to ensure the speed of the counterattack in the frontcourt.
After breaking through the hopeless line of defenders led by Li Yun, Syria chose to give up, while the Chinese team made continuous substitutions and adjustments to familiarize other players with the atmosphere of the game.
As the game drew to a close, the chorus of "Singing the Motherland" sounded in the audience, and countless fans had tears in their eyes, regardless of the hoarse voices that had been shouted for the whole time, and sang this high-spirited song with all their might.
When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, the cheers reached its climax.
"It's over. The Chinese team won the game with a 2-0 victory over Syria. He Wei shouted excitedly, "Like the fans in the stands, I am really happy now, now I have to shout to hear my own voice, the scene is too loud." It's our first win in the round of 12 and I hope that under Lippi we can play with style, play at our level and get all the points we deserve. ”
"It's not easy. Gong Lei can also be regarded as an old man in Chinese football, at this time he even spoke with a trill, "Coach Lippi brought us a wonderful game, and the players also played the best state in these years." I'm hopeful for the next races. ”
As soon as this game was played, the result was on the top of the hot search.
Some time ago, they were still criticizing the Chinese team for wasting money and wasting the feelings of the fans, and those who had changed their faces and came out again, and all kinds of good words that didn't want money kept throwing at the Chinese team, and Nie Jiang, who scored twice, became the latest national little fresh meat because of his 18-year-old age, six-pack abs after stripping, and slightly handsome face.
Countless sand sculpture netizens proudly announced on the Internet that they had become Nie Jiang's fans, or that they had become his wife.
Taking advantage of this popularity, Nie Jiang's breakthrough of roaring after stripping once rushed to the top of the hot search, and it can be said that the national football team slaughtered the list that night.
After the game, Zhang Sheng also called Nie Jiang specifically: "How do you feel? ”
"A few days ago, some people scolded me for shit. Nie Jiang said contemptuously.
"Haha! Let's play well and try to score more goals, that's the way to go. The next game against Uzbekistan is not going to be good, so you have to be ready. Zhang Sheng reminded Nie Jiang.
'Coach Lippi says he's prepared. We all believed in him. Nie Jiang's answer made Zhang Sheng very happy.
Although Nie Jiang praised Lippi in front of Zhang Sheng, Zhang Sheng did not mean to be jealous, he knew that it was the respect that Lippi deserved, but he was very happy with Nie Jiang's self-confidence, it seems that Lippi's impact on the national football team is very positive.
Today's round of 12, the Chinese team played three games in Group A, China, South Korea and Iran all won, so that the South Korean team relied on the advantage of goal difference to rank first with 7 points, Iran and South Korea ranked second with 7 points, and Uzbekistan lost to Iran in the strong dialogue at home, ranking third with 6 points, China relied on this victory to get 4 points and ranked fourth, Syria and Qatar ranked behind with 1 point and 0 points respectively.
It can be said that the next game between China and Uzbekistan will determine whether the Chinese team can squeeze into the World Cup qualification, South Korea and Iran The Chinese team has lost 5 points, and Uzbekistan has to win the points.
In the expectation of the people of the whole country, the Chinese team flew to Tashkent, the capital of Uzbekistan, on the second day of the game.
Uzbekistan has a number of players playing in the Chinese Super League, such as Beijing Guoan's Sergeyev, Klimets, and Changchun Yatai's Ismailov, they are no strangers to the Chinese team's players, but the Chinese team knows little about their other players, and their captain, Akhmedov, who later transferred to the sea port, is a very powerful player, and the value of 900 euros transferred to him by Germany is not just talking.
However, the victory in the last game did stimulate the Chinese fans, many hardcore fans even followed the team to Uzbekistan, for them, it is not without good news, first of all, the fruits of Uzbekistan are really big, really sweet, really delicious, and secondly, the tickets are really cheap, only 30,000 sums (Uzbek currency), about 66 yuan.
It is said that more than 5,000 Chinese fans came to buy tickets to watch the game, and the current atmosphere of the World Preliminary Tournament in Tashkent does not seem to be strong, and the fans are planning to create a better atmosphere for the Chinese team - Chinese fans are always the loveliest, and even a little victory will make them dedicate their greatest enthusiasm.
After the start of the game, the Chinese team, which maintained the starting lineup of the previous game, lined up a 4-5-1 formation, and considering the away game, the Chinese team strengthened the control of the midfield and reduced the number of people in the front, but this does not mean that the attack is gone.
Although Akhmedov's strength is enough, it is difficult to support alone, Qin Minghao, Ding Huaiyi, Zheng Zhi, Xu Mingyu and Qiming's midfield have technology, hardness, and experience, and soon after the game began, the Chinese team took over the midfield and also took over the game.
Lippi designed this set of tactics for the Chinese team to give full play to the team's advantages in the midfielders, he will be ready to use Guangzhou Evergrande multi-core tactics slowly implemented in the Chinese national team, Qin Minghao as the main core, Xu Mingyu as a wingman, Zheng Zhi as an alternative, Ding Huaiyi is to do the breakthrough point and the use of the side forward, if you count Lippi is very optimistic, ready to succeed or even surpass Zheng Zhi's Qi Ming, the Chinese team can be said to be one of the few teams in Asia that can copy the overall tactics of Europe.
This is also the reason why Lippicen took over the Chinese team and is confident of victory.
