Chapter 201: The lead at halftime
Yan Tao tackled directly!
Generally speaking, such situations are handed over to the goalkeeper. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info But Yan Tao is different, he always believes that unless it is absolutely necessary, the goalkeeper must not be allowed to deal with such things alone, only in this way can he be regarded as a qualified defender.
Ma Junqiang was stunned, and he suddenly recalled the time to play against Qatar in his mind. Yan Tao's shovel almost gave Ma Junqiang the illusion of going back in time.
The difference is that the striker in front of him is Odai Saifei, and when he played against Qatar, Ma Junqiang faced Sebastian in front of him.
There is also a difference, at that time, Yan Tao tackles the ball at a distance from the penalty area, and at this time, Yan Tao tackles the ball almost after Odai Saifei rushed into the penalty area.
The ball at the feet of Odai Saifei was shoveled out by Yan Tao, and his body also lost his balance and fell into the penalty area.
The Chinese fans gasped, the tackle in the penalty area, the ball was tackled, but Odai Saifei was also tackled, did Yan Tao foul?
Odai Saifei lay on the ground, raised his right hand, and shouted to the referee: "This No. 13 has been fouled, this is a penalty!"
Other players of the Jordanian team also thought that Yan Tao had committed a foul in the penalty area, which was not only a penalty, but also that Yan Tao should be sent off the field. Ma Junqiang was closest to Yan Tao and was about to "redress his grievances" for him, but he saw the referee raise his hands and signal the game to continue.
Yan Tao didn't foul!
Although Ao Dai Saifei did fall in the penalty area of the Chinese team, the referee thought that Yan Tao had tackled the ball first! The replay on the screen also clearly showed the audience that Yan Tao's defense this time was that his double ball was attached to the ground and was never lifted. Odai Saifei fell to the ground after Yan Tao tackled the ball and hooked his foot, and the referee's decision was very accurate. Of course, Yan Tao's tackles are more accurate!"
Yan Tao had already stood up from the ground, he looked at Ma Junqiang, and said with a smile: "Who is that one in Jordan? Why do you have to come? Do you still want a penalty? Am I so easy to foul?"
Ma Junqiang also smiled: "Okay, I'm ready to fight back." Highfinger has given you an offensive mission. ”
Yan Tao patted his buttocks, laughed and rushed up. The Chinese team is on the offensive back, and as a fullback, he is also a pawn in the offensive tactics, and he will definitely have to go up when attacking.
The first half of the game went on for almost 40 minutes, and the Chinese team temporarily led Jordan 1:0 with Li Mu's lightning goal in the opening two and a half minutes. In terms of overall strength, the Chinese team still has an obvious advantage, and there are not many opportunities for Jordan overall, and the only good opportunity was disrupted by Yan Tao.
Xu Ziyi made a simple one-two with Zhao Wenkang in the middle, passed Amir Dibu, and the latter handed the ball to Zhang Shujie, Zhang Shujie flashed a little gap in front of Barney Yasin, raised his leg and shot, but Barney Yasin turned back and stretched his leg to block, the ball hit his knee and flew towards the corner flag.
The ball was about to go out of bounds, but Yan Tao quickly arrived, the man stood outside the bottom line and stopped the ball, the linesman took a closer look, the ball as a whole was not out of bounds, and the Chinese team could continue to attack.
The Chinese team now has six players in the penalty area, all waiting to grab points. Yan Tao passed the ball to the goal, the players on both sides jumped to the top, and finally Zhao Wenkang grabbed the ball, but Zhao Wenkang's header ability was average, and his attack also sent the ball directly to the goalkeeper's arms.
Jordan saw that the Chinese team had eight players past the midfield, so they wanted to play a surprise attack, Shafir kicked off quickly, and the Jordan team's action was really fast, and after two passes, the ball reached the middle circle. However, at this time, the four defenders of the Chinese team have all returned to their own half, and Xu Ziyi, who is responsible for interception in the midfield, is also quickly chasing back.
Abdurrahman, who was carrying the ball, was about to pass to Odai Saifei, but was disturbed by Xu Ziyi, who was chasing behind him, and the ball was not passed in place, and was intercepted by Du Peng halfway, and handed the ball to Qu Bo on the left.
Qu Bo's speed is very fast, second only to Zhang Shujie in the team, and faster than Yan Taodu. But it is not enough to play football only with speed, otherwise the Chinese team would have dominated the world long ago.
Now that no one was near him for the time being, he ran seven or eight meters with the ball, and Suleiman Salman approached him, and he also slowed down. Li Mu raised his hand to ask for the ball, and shouted: "Qu Bo, pass the ball!"
Compared with Qu Bo, Li Mu is a junior in the national team, but his importance is much greater than that of Qu Bo, and he is an indispensable member of Gao Hongbo's hands. Because of this, he dared to ask for the ball from his seniors. And Qu Bo, who is nearly 30 years old, has not been in the national team for long.
Qu Bo glanced at Li Mu, didn't pass it on, and took it down by himself. He wanted to use his speed to break through Salman, and chose the method of splitting the ball alone. But Salman was not an idiot, Qu Bo's position was already on the side, so Salman used his body to squeeze him and squeeze him out of the sideline.
Qu Bo couldn't fight Salman with his body and was squeezed down. Strictly speaking, Salman was already fouled, but Li Mu had expected that Qu Bo might fail to break through, so he withdrew a few steps in advance to respond. While Qu Bo was squeezed to the ground, Li Mu also controlled the ball at his feet. The football game is in favor of the attacking side, and since Li Mu got the ball, the referee did not blow the whistle.
Jordanian defender Fatah, who was staring at Li Mu, pasted it, Li Mu flipped his ankle and deceived Fatah, but before he passed, he was tripped by Salman who came out from behind, and the referee whistled without hesitation and gave the Chinese team a free kick in front.
The time for the first half has arrived, and with a minute of stoppage time, this attack should be the last chance for both teams to attack in the first half.
The free kick is close to the sideline, and the distance from the goal is not short, and it is estimated that a direct shot will not work, and you can only pass the ball. According to Gao Hongbo's meaning, any Deng Zhuoxiang in this position and this type can also be punished, but Deng Zhuoxiang saw Zhao Wenkang coming over, and he stepped aside.
Since a series of warm-up matches last year, the original No. 1 set-piece candidate of the Chinese team has also changed from Deng Zhuoxiang to Zhao Wenkang. However, this is limited to passing, if it is facing the goal and the distance is within 25 meters, Gao Hongbo has other arrangements.
Zhao Wenkang was already standing three meters in front of the ball, and the Jordan team only lined up a two-person wall, as if they didn't pay much attention to this free kick. I don't know if it's because it's too far away, or because the first half is almost over, and it's a little lax.
Most of the players from both teams gathered at the top of the penalty area, and only a few people stood in the box. As soon as the referee blew the whistle, Zhao Wenkang ran and made a long pass.
The ball flew high, high and floating. Zhang Shujie, who was ambushed in the crowd, suddenly started and threw away Barney Yasin, who was following him, but Barney Yasin didn't expect Zhang Shujie's start to be so fast, and when he wanted to chase him, he found that the Chinese striker had already opened up two or three positions of his own.
The ball landed in the penalty area, just opposite the back post. Shafair scolded Barney Yassin and ran up to pounce on the ball.
Whatever mistakes defenders make, all the goalkeeper can do is wipe their butts for them.
Shafair's goal is not foolproof, and the goalkeeper alone is not good at this angle. Zhang Shujie saw the only gap, did not wait for the ball to land, and volleyed with his right foot, breaking through Shafir's ten fingers.
After scoring the goal, Zhang Shujie gently patted his chest with his right hand and ran on the court. His teammates soon surrounded him, and the fans shouted his name. Originally, everyone didn't expect this goal to score, just thinking about dragging the one-minute injury time over, but Zhang Shujie gave them a surprise at the last moment.
Gao Hongbo was also smiling, scoring a goal near the end of the first half, which not only made the game better in the second half, but also hit the morale of the Jordanian team.
Hamad is now frowning.
Liu Jianhong laughed a few times: "The Chinese team is now leading Jordan 2:0. It was the top scorer Zhang Shujie who scored the goal, and he is currently far ahead of the scorer list with four goals, as long as the Chinese team does not play abnormally, then Zhang Shujie is very likely to win the Golden Boot award in this Asian Cup. ”
In the press booth, Shen Hao glanced at Zhang Shujie a few times, then at Chen Hui, and said, "Tell me honestly, are you going to think about the script for the second half? ”
Chen Hui smiled: "There is a little bit. But Zhang Shujie can really surprise us. ”
"Hopefully he can get the top scorer. ”
"Don't you want the Chinese team to win the championship?"
"Of course I hope. But...... It's better not to go so far yet, Australia, Japan, and South Korea are not easy to deal with. ”
Jordan restarted in the middle circle, the ball just went out, the referee's whistle also sounded, the first half of the game ended, the Chinese team was relying on Li Mu and Zhang Shujie's two goals in the "end and end", temporarily leading the Jordanian team. I don't know what will happen in the 45 minutes of the second half after the break.
The players of the Chinese team walked into the locker room with laughter and laughter, many of the players of this national team may not be destined to become friends with each other, but they did not show any hostility when they were on the field, and in general they were relatively united.
Gao Hongbo was also quite satisfied with their competitive performance in the game, but he still said a few more words about the defensive problem, telling a few defenders not to be careless, especially the central defender, and there must be no fatal mistakes. He didn't want to see Ma Junqiang facing the opponent's striker alone every time, and then Yan Tao would come out from the side and risk a red card to come to a "savior in danger"!
Gao Hongbo has already seen this situation twice when he has faced Jordan and Qatar, and he is reluctant to see it a third time.
After the defense problem is explained, there is nothing else worth reminding. Several players in the midfield played normally, the strength of the Jordanian team was indeed worse than the Chinese team, everything was as usual in the second half, and the personnel did not make adjustments for the time being, and we will see it after 70 minutes.
The Chinese team is now relaxed, but the Jordan team is half-dead, and the goal before the end of the first half made them feel bad. If you're only one goal behind, it's a big second half, but it's not so easy to fall behind two.
Hamad sighed: "Well, I admit that the Chinese team is very strong. The first half also confirmed what I said before the game, the two most dangerous guys in their team scored a goal for us, but for that reason do we have to give up? The answer is no, there are still 45 minutes to go and we can do a lot in those 45 minutes. ”
The players refreshed themselves, and Hamad added: "In recent years, there have been many Chinese players who have gained a firm foothold in the European League, which is incomparable to us. But so what? Do you want us to surrender? Guys, I don't want much from you, I just want you to do your best!"
Hamad reassured the players. In fact, he also knew that it was just a psychological confusion. The difference in strength is there, unless there is an upset, it is more difficult to enter the top four than to ascend to the sky.
Jordan's qualification from the group of death is already an upset. However, there are not always upsets, and not every team can "cold" to the end like Greece in 2004 and finally win the championship.
That year's Greek team was protected by the gods of Athens to win the European Championship in a historic way, but this is just a myth. And what about the Jordanian team?
After 45 minutes of battle in the second half, everything will be revealed.
