Chapter 544: 'Immortal Ball' and 'Off-Plate Move'

Originally, if there was Yang Fan, these naturalized players in Qatar really weren't taken seriously by Gao Hongbo, but now isn't Yang Fan absent due to injury!

Without Yang Fan, the Chinese team's offensive threat has been greatly reduced, which makes Qatar's attack quite unscrupulous.

In the battle for midfield, the Qatari midfielder clearly has the upper hand. They frantically besieged the Chinese team's Earth Gate, hoping to score early.

Qatari fans in the stands cheered on their team and left no stone unturned. It's just that the cheers of West Asian fans are simply torture and unbearable to the ears of fans in other countries.

"It's like chanting. A Chinese reporter in the media gallery said.

"It's just torture. A reporter said even more unceremoniously, he rubbed his brain, uncomfortable.

Qatar wanted to score as soon as possible, but 20 minutes passed and the indiscriminate bombardment of Qatar had no effect. The dense defense of the Chinese team made the Qataris helpless for a while.

They want to use personal technological breakthroughs. The Chinese team would rather give them a free kick than let them break through.

Qatar's midfielder Joseph Amid's free kicks were of average quality and did not pose a substantial threat to the Chinese team's goal.

Seeing that his team was helpless in the face of a dense defense, the Qatari commentator sarcastically said: "Will the Chinese team just shrink up and defend? Do they think they are the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles?"

CCTV commentator He Wei, who was in charge of commentating the Chinese team's game, was loudly applauding Gao Hongbo's team: "The Qataris thought their attack was very sharp. But in China, the team is obviously prepared for such a situation, the players are very hard, it can be said that every inch of land is fighting!"

The Uzbek coach, sitting in the stands, wrote in a small notebook: "...... The strength of the Chinese team that lost Yang Fan was obviously damaged. Their attacking ability has declined so much that they can only adopt defensive counterattack tactics, and the Chinese team's defensive ability is good, which is a problem worth paying attention to......"

The observer of Kuwait wrote in a small book, "Qatar attacks sharply, be careful about their degree and breakthrough ......"

Later on the same day, the other two teams in Group A of the Asian Cup, Uzbekistan will play against Kuwait, and in the third round of the group stage, Uzbekistan will meet China, and Kuwait's opponent is Qatar, so their coaching staff specially sent people to observe the match between China and Qatar.

In the 21st minute, the Qatar team Lawrence took the ball, the Chinese team midfielder Yang Hao defended him, leaned on when Lawrence was about to add, and the Qatari Ghanaian player fell to the ground after the two made contact, which is not a big foul, it can only be said to be a physical collision foul, however, to the puzzle and anger of the Chinese team players, the South Korean referee Kim Dongjin on duty showed Yang Hao a yellow card.

It is no wonder that the Chinese players on the field are so angry, Yang Hao is the defensive backbone of the Chinese team in the midfield, in the face of the Qatari offensive, Yang Hao needs to use a tough defense to deal with, and now he has received a yellow card, which is bound to make Yang Hao become concerned in the subsequent defense.

The impact of the yellow card was felt five minutes later.

In the 26th minute, the Qatari midfielder attacked, after a long pass to the front, Cazorla's header was ferried, he was originally going to cooperate with Amid next to him, but he was surprised to see the birth of a very beautiful goal.

In the face of Cazorla's header, Amid didn't seem to have the intention of cooperating with his teammates, only to see him stop the football, then turn around, and then cushion the football with the trend, and then face the football in front of him, and it was a volley!

The ball made a strange arc in the air and went straight to the top corner of the goal.

In the face of such a world wave, the goalkeeper of the Chinese team, Zeng Cheng, did not have time to react at all, he could only stand there and watch the football fly into the goal with shocked and desperate eyes...... He knows what a blow this conceded goal is for the whole team!

"Beautiful, beautiful, Amid!Amid!!The goal is in! Great goal! 1-0! 1-0! We are ahead of the Chinese team!!" the Qatar TV commentator roared excitedly.

After the goal, Amid also seemed very excited, he rushed to the sidelines, yelling, behind him, other Qatari players ran to come, and the Qataris gathered in a circle, celebrating the goal wildly!

"Damn fairy ball!" On the coach's side of the Chinese team, assistant coach Fu Bo scolded depressedly when he saw the lost ball.

The so-called fairy ball refers to a goal that is also breathtaking to the gods, or it can also be interpreted as a goal that only the gods can prevent, in order to describe the beauty of this goal, generally refers to the kind of very wonderful world wave goal score, and Amid's goal is quite beautiful.

Gao Hongbo gritted his teeth and shook his head, this goal is beautiful, but what he saw was why there was such a goal? Yang Hao didn't go up in time to intercept Amid!

"Is it because of the yellow card that you are afraid of the tail? Gao Hongbo took a deep look at the referee on duty.

Liu Jianhong, the Chinese commentator who was commentating the game at the scene, saw that he had lost the ball, and his voice suddenly raised, looking quite annoyed and helpless, as if the thing he had been worried about was finally born: "The Qataris have scored, a very beautiful world wave, such a ball, Zeng Cheng has no choice, however, before Amid shoots, the players of the Chinese team gave him too much space, and he should be forced to go up as soon as possible......"

His commentary partner He Wei glanced at the stadium and said, "This is the result of the yellow card that Yang Hao just ate, when Amid got the ball, Yang Hao didn't dare to get too close, he was afraid of being over, in that position, once Amid broke through, it would be very dangerous, in that case, Yang Hao would have to be forced to foul, but the problem was that Yang Hao already had a yellow card on his body, so Yang Hao hesitated, he didn't go up to force the ...... at the first time"

"That's the off-field factor we've been worried about, the referee may not be too obviously biased in favor of the home team, but he only needs some seemingly inconsequential decisions that may affect the ...... of the game," Liu Jianhong shook his head and said with some pain.

In fact, before this game, the Chinese media has been discussing and worrying, in addition to the pressure brought by Qatar's naturalized players, the biggest worry is the possible off-the-market moves for this game, that is, the impact of referee factors.

After losing 2-0 to Uzbekistan in the opening game, the Qataris had to win this game or be eliminated from the tournament, which is not acceptable to the hosts, Qatar, you know, they are dreaming of winning the championship.

The shamelessness of the Qataris, or the West Asians, in football, is deeply felt by the Chinese.

I think the most humiliating win of the Chinese national team that year was related to the West Asian team, which happened to be their 2-0 defeat to Kuwait in the first game of the group stage.

At that time, the two sides competed for the qualification for the top 10 of the 2oo6 World Cup Asian qualifiers, the Chinese team defeated Hong Kong 7:O in the last game, but Kuwait defeated Malaysia 6:1, and finally the Chinese team and Kuwait had the same points and goal difference, but the Chinese team was eliminated because of the disadvantage of one goal less than Kuwait.

After the game, Chinese fans and media ridiculed Chinese football for playing match-fixing and blowing black whistles in China every day.

Of course, the Kuwaitis are not only playing arithmetic, but also details, because the two games start at the same time, and whoever finishes the game means who has the initiative. In the 15th minute of the second half, when Kuwait was leading 2-1, Malaysia's players suddenly said that their net was broken and needed to be replaced. The referee agreed to Malaysia's request to change the net after inspection, and the match was suspended for five minutes. This time the bad net incident seems to be a signal, after the replacement of the net, the Kuwait team set off a goal frenzy. What is incomprehensible is that before the start of the game and after the halftime break, the referee will check whether the goal and net meet the requirements according to the procedure, why the net has not broken such a big hole.

If this incident is artificial, we can only admire that the idea of this plan is too amazing and too poisonous!

A little earlier, back to the 1982 Spain World Cup qualifiers, the 1981 Chinese team hit the Spanish World Cup, and one foot has entered Madrid. The proud Chinese Football Association announced that the national team would release Nanshan and go home to rest. Subsequently, Saudi Arabia released New Zealand o:5, and the Chinese football team could only hastily assemble again, and was eliminated from the tournament in an additional life-and-death battle. This also delayed the Chinese team's World Cup appearance for 20 years, and it was not until the 2oo2 World Cup in Japan and South Korea that it broke out of Asia.

It's an open secret that West Asian football, especially teams like the United Arab Emirates and Qatar, like to play tricks with off-the-cuffs about the refereeing factor.

Therefore, before the game, the Chinese media and fans were worried about this, before Yang Hao was shown a yellow card, some fans did not see the impact of this too harsh penalty on the Chinese team, and now, this impact is out.

After Yang Hao was yellow carded, not only Yang Hao, but other Chinese players were too careful when defending.

The players of the Chinese team began to be careful about physical contact with the Qataris, because they noticed that as long as there was physical contact and the Qataris fell to the ground, the referee would definitely give the Chinese team a foul.

To some extent, this also made the Chinese team's defense tread on thin ice.

The game with the host is the most difficult to play, not to mention the host of Qatar, who has now been scored by Qatar, and the next game can be imagined how difficult it will be......

This goal is a huge blow to the Chinese team, the players have been thinking about not conceding the ball, to be able to enter the halftime break with a score of 0-0, even if it is a good result, now, the goal is lost, which makes the players feel that the efforts they have been working hard just now have been in vain, and the breath in their hearts will be discharged.

Therefore, after the restart of the game, people noticed that the Qatari attack was sharper, and the Chinese team's defense became shaky, which can be said to be fully passive and played very embarrassed. There is a sign that you could keep conceding goals at any time.

"It's not going to work, if you keep going like this, you're likely to concede again. He Wei shouted anxiously, his shouts suppressed by the cheers of the Qataris.

Amid the deafening cheers of the fans, the Qatari players launched wave after wave of fierce attacks on the Chinese team's goal, as if they were planning to take advantage of this time to score another goal and end the game once and for all.
