Wu Lei did go directly into the forbidden area.

Akhmedov also bet right, Wu Lei's shot was in a hurry, he didn't eat the right part when he shot, and the force was a little too strong, and the football flew directly off the crossbar.

"Ahh Huang Jianxiang's tone was obviously a little unhappy, but he quickly adjusted his mood, "Of course, our offensive routine is played, as long as we are more patient and smarter in shooting, we can get a goal just around the corner." ”

The players, commentators and fans were all lamenting, but manager Lippi saw something different.

In his tactics, the three strikers have to link up with each other, even switch positions, and now all three of them obviously have a very high desire to shoot on goal.

Lippi also understands the thoughts of the three strikers, and whoever scores the first goal to break the deadlock on the night of a 16-year-long national team is about to qualify will go down in history.

Not to mention that the Chinese team is in a good group situation now, and the probability of qualifying is high, even if it can't be shot, it will not affect the team's next qualification.

With these premises, those who have a chance to shoot on goal do not seize the opportunity to shoot desperately.

Thinking of this, Lippi was a little angry.

The old coach had never seen any storms and waves, and he had expected things like this that were obviously predictable before the game, and he had also specially talked to several of the starting frontcourt players, and wrote about each of them in the pre-game tactical summary.

Unexpectedly, such a thing still happened.

The old coach immediately walked to the sidelines and began to shout loudly to several players.

"Coach Lippi seems to be a little unhappy with the situation on the pitch. Seeing this scene, Huang Jianxiang expressed his worries, "In the first half, our advantage was very obvious, and there were countless opportunities to score, but now it is still 0:0." We were obviously more aggressive than the opposition, but to put it mildly, our advantage was built on more exertion, and fitness in the second half was going to be a big problem for us. ”

"The only good news is that South Korea are also playing very hard at home, they are also 0-0 now. The difference was that Iran was resolutely defending and counter-attacking, with neither side having a threatening shot on goal. Su Dong has been paying attention to the information about the same round of the game from the commentary team, "But we can't pin our hopes on others." Su Dong also said his thoughts.

Compared to the commentary, the fans in the stands and in front of the TV are much more optimistic.

At this time, Chen Jiangfeng, as the fan leader of one of the stands, organized the fans to cheer for the Chinese team, and his girlfriend, as the leader of the "beautiful fan group" of the Longteng team, echoed the cheering rhythm of his boyfriend.

The Chinese team's wave of offense is the G-spot of their cheering, every attack, every shot, stimulates their cheering to the climax, the problem is that the goalposts, lintels, and sliding doors always make them a little bit away from the real climax.

They were confined to the mountains on the sidelines, and the excitement made them ignore the trace of regret.

As for the audience in front of the TV, it is not as fanatical as the fans in the stands, fake fans, Schrödinger's fans, cloud fans, and a larger proportion of fans who follow the trend because of the good results of the national football team, most of them don't know much about football, and they only see the Chinese team pressing the other side to play, and they don't think too much.

The problem is that in just a few minutes, the Uzbekistan team has reacted, under the command of Jeparov, the team decisively retreated, Akhmedov took over the command of the defense, and the Chinese team lost its offensive deception and concealment.

In the end, when the referee from Sri Lanka, Andreas Pereira, blew the whistle at the end of the first half, the score was fixed at 0:0.

The Chinese team failed to attack at halftime, so they could only leave the court sullenly and return to the locker room.

Huang Jianxiang also sorted out his emotions and began to review the first half in the studio: "What do you think of the performance of the Chinese team in the first half. ”

He asked Su Dongdao.

"We have infiltrated the Uzbekistan penalty area many times through sports battles and the threat to the opposition has not diminished as the game progresses. Su Dong was analyzing tactically, "In this half of the game, the boys dared to invest in the attack, and the combination of the side and the middle was good. The chances they created were actually as close as they were to the goal, and it was obviously difficult for the opposition to defend us one-on-one, but technically, we had a clear advantage. Hopefully the second half will continue. However, in terms of defense, the opponent is now back to play, and the opponent's counterattack needs to be taken seriously. ”

"That's true. After the opening, we played proactively, not only offensively, but also in the front court. We had no problem fighting and we had the right tactics, but the players wanted to score too much and their feet tightened when they shot. Huang Jianxiang said more about his worries, "The three people in the midfield and the three people in the front court lack a sense of hierarchy, there is a problem in the position, and almost all of them run to the front line when attacking, we should be more patient, and our front court must be able to slow down." ”

'Hopefully in the second half, it will improve. ”

'We should give Coach Lippi confidence. Speaking of this, Huang Jianxiang smiled, and he was still relieved of the old handsome.

It should be said that Huang Jianxiang expected it very accurately, Lippi was in the locker room at this time, and did not give praise because the team pressed the opponent in the first half: "This is not the game I want to see." ”

'We're better than each other, we're at home. We've had a lot of opportunities and that's good. However, if there are no goals, these are beeps. The old man, who has always been very elegant, even came out with swear words.

"I gave you a reminder before the game. The vast majority of goals come from the team, not from individual efforts. My team doesn't need people who are outside the team. ”

"All the tactics, we've practiced many times in the heat during this time, and I don't want those efforts to be wasted. ”

"Your problem is not under your feet, but here. Lippi finally pointed to his head excitedly.

Although Lippi did not name names, several players in the front court knew that he was talking about himself, and under the pressure of the old coach, they were silent.

Li Yun, as the captain, must come out to take responsibility at this time, he stood up and said: "Mr. coach, it was my mistake, I will remind them in the second half." ”

In order to ensure Captain Li Yun's authority, Lippi shook his hand: "You don't have to apologize. ”

Qin Minghao, who is also a foreign player, hurriedly stood up: "It's my problem, Mr. Head Coach, I promise to play smarter in the second half." ”

Nie Jiang, Wu Lei and several other frontcourt players also reacted, and they immediately stood up and said in unison: "Me too." ”

Lippi was also satisfied at this time: "Now that you know the problem, then let's recover our strength well, and we must ensure that the first 30 minutes of the second half continue the intensity of the first half." ”

Unlike the atmosphere in the Chinese dressing room, Uzbekistan's head coach Babayan was much more relaxed: "Boys, you played well in the first half. We played like a real team. ”

"If people were more engaged and focused, they would be less of a threat to us. ”

"From the other pitch, there was already good news. Although the South Korean team is at home, Iran, which has already qualified, does not have the idea of letting the opponent win easily, and the game is very anxious, and the score is still 0:0. ”

"If, I said, we can score a goal in the second half and win the game and South Korea keep that scoreline, then in the last game, at our home stadium, we will take the initiative. ”

"Whether you can seize this opportunity and take control of your own destiny depends on your efforts, and I believe that Allah will bless us." Babayan encouraged everyone.

The fifteen-minute break at halftime was fleeting, and soon the second half of the game officially began.

The Chinese team, which had regained its spirits, came up and gave a warning to the Uzbek side.

In the 47th minute, Wu Lei and Qin Minghao suddenly came to a change of position in the front court, and the pull of the two runs at the same time to drive the defensive formation of Uzbekistan, after Nie Jiang withstood the opponent's central defender, the two fullbacks successfully linked, Ding Huaiyi sent a beautiful pass to Hao Junmin, who completed the shot in a completely unguarded situation.

"Did the shot !! scored?" Su Dong roared, "It's a pity, it hit the side netting." ”

'It's a bit of a shame but it's a way we didn't see in the first half. Several players in the front court are more flexible, it can be said that in the first half we relied on the hard power of the players to play, this time the play is more like a team, more layered, the opponent's defense was completely destroyed. Huang Jianxiang saw a good change.

When the camera panned to the sidelines, Lippi finally applauded with a smile on his face, a scene that so many attacks that almost scored in the first half were not seen.

However, after only three minutes, Lippi couldn't laugh anymore.

In the fiftieth minute, Zhang Linpeng assisted from the right side to the front, and after receiving the pass made by Nie Jianghui, he rushed all the way to the opponent's bottom line, and the opponent's back Bikmaev came to fill the position, he forcibly overtook him, and as a result, Zhang Linpeng was tripped under the bag of Bikmaev and Denisov, and at the same time sprained his ankle.

Ankle has always been a pain point for Zhang Linpeng, whether it is in real history or in this time and space, although the appearance of Zhang Sheng has changed Zhang Linpeng's career route, he cannot change Zhang Linpeng's body.

In real history, the decline in Zhang Linpeng's state is still very related to injuries, especially ankle injuries.

He suffered a serious ankle injury at the 2012 Olympic qualifiers, and was tackled again by a Japanese opponent in the 2013 AFC Champions League.

No matter how powerful Zhang Sheng is, he can't change the injury that Zhang Linpeng had before the crossing.

Now in the Chinese team, although the right-back is full of talents, when it comes to the experience of the competition, especially the experience of the national team, there is really no one who can compare with him, whether it is Xiang Tiange or Huang He.

Injuries on the pitch are never subject to human volition.

Zhang Linpeng is a well-known tough guy, he just managed to get up and run a few more steps, but the pain in his ankle still made him give up and sit on the ground.

The thought of not being able to finish this crucial game made the tough guy's eyes turn a little red.

The team doctor of the Chinese team hurriedly beckoned the stretcher truck to enter the field and transported Zhang Linpeng out of the field, and under the broadcast camera, everyone could see the latter covering his face with both hands.

"It was a real surprise. Huang Jianxiang sighed and regretted, "Actually, the opponent's defensive action just now was not big, Zhang Linpeng stopped and turned around too hard, and the center of gravity of the whole body was pressed on the ankle. ”

"Not good news. Su Dong also had a very bad feeling, "In this position, on the bench, Xiang Tiange and Ren Xing can both play, but the former is inexperienced, and the latter has a certain gap in strength, especially in assists, compared to Zhang Linpeng." ”

"It depends on how Coach Lippi chooses. This substitution should be able to clearly see the strategic intention of the head coach in this game, if you go up to Tiange, it is determined to get three points, if you take office, it is to be stable. ”

The sudden injury of a player also made Lippi very distressed. He arranged the tactics of attacking in the first 30 minutes in the middle of the field, but this was based on the fact that Zhang Linpeng could stabilize the right side, after all, Denisov's left side is the main attack direction of Uzbekistan.

If you insist on attacking and let the offensive strong and defend the weak Xiang Tiange, the right side of the Chinese team's defense line is bound to have great hidden dangers.

Less than a minute after the battle between heaven and man, while Zhang Linpeng was still in treatment, Lippi made a decision - to go up to Tiange, use the technical advantages of the midfielders and the advantage of the home field, and strive for the first goal before the physical fitness reaches the bottleneck.

"You have to protect the back of Xiang Tiange more, and once the opponent launches a counterattack from the left, you are responsible for filling in the position. For at least twenty minutes, you don't have to worry about fitness. Taking advantage of the substitution of the Chinese team, the two sides briefly replenished water on the sidelines, Lippi kept telling Xu Mingyu, and finally he handed over the heavy responsibility to Li Yun: "In the next game, your task will be heavier, while helping Xu Mingyu defend, you must also remember to help Xiang Tiange fill the position and run." ”

Li Yun and Xu Mingyu hurriedly nodded and said, "I will, Mr. Head Coach." ”

At the same time, the Uzbek side is also making emergency arrangements, and Babayan can't help but be excited: "Our opportunity has come, the right side of the Chinese team, according to our introduction to you before the game, the gap between the main force and the substitute is still obvious." Although we felt that it was difficult for them to happen before the game, now that it has appeared, we should not let go of the opportunity and follow what we analyzed before the game. ”

The two old foxes had apparently unleashed their tricks.
