The Chinese team defeated South Korea 6-3 and won the first victory in the round of 12. On the second day of the game, all walks of life across the country also praised the Chinese team, but a few people questioned why the Chinese team's defense would perform a little unsatisfactory in the first hour of the game.

Chen Hui wrote in Sports Weekly: "After Zhao Wenkang opened the scoring for the Chinese team, the process of the game did not develop as the Chinese fans imagined, and the South Korean team was much better than the Chinese team in the next nearly an hour, and the three goals are the best proof of this." However, the hard power of the Chinese team eventually prevailed, and several attacking players in the midfield scored consecutive goals, giving South Korea a home defeat. Overall, the Chinese team performed well, although the pace of entering the game was a little slower, but they finally won the victory. ”

Shen Hao said: "We should congratulate the Chinese team, but we also have to face up to our own problems, such as the backline. It stands to reason that the Chinese team's defense is very solid, but it still allowed the South Korean team to score three goals in less than 60 minutes, which is not like something that would happen to Yan Tao and his teammates, but it happened. We only hope that this is just the result of the Chinese team's carelessness, and we also hope that in the next game against Iran, we will not concede another goal. ”

Ahn Rong also explained the defensive problem alone: "Conceding three goals against South Korea in less than an hour, it really doesn't look like a back line that plays the main team in the big clubs, but fortunately in the last half hour, they quickly found their form, and I believe that on September 6, they will not make the mistake against South Korea." ”

Since there was only five days between the second round of the top 12 and the first round, these internationals did not go back and were all in the national team. This time, the Chinese team is playing at home, and the game is played at the Shenyang Olympic Sports Center, fighting on their own turf, and the Chinese team will definitely not allow defeat.

The opponent of the Chinese team is Iran, if you do not count Australia who joined the AFC, then Iran is currently the strongest opponent of the Chinese team in Asia, of course, this strength is only relative to other Asian teams, normally speaking, the Chinese team is not a problem to defeat Iran.

Iran are still more cautious, striker Azmoun said in an interview: "The Chinese team is very strong, and their 6-3 win away to South Korea shows their strength. But what I would say is that if South Korea can score against them, then so can we, and we will definitely not concede six goals, even away from home. ”

On the one hand, Azmoun affirmed the strong strength of the Chinese team, and on the other hand, he was also eager to defeat the Chinese team. Asian football seems to be forming a strange circle, and every team is proud to beat the Chinese team. Although everyone knew in their hearts that this was an almost impossible thing to do, they tirelessly hoped for a miracle to happen.

The game started on time at 7:30 p.m. Beijing time on September 6, and the Olympic center was full of Chinese fans, and the entire stadium was covered with red five-star red flags.

After the start of the game, the Chinese team quickly launched an attack with the cheers of the fans, and after Zhang Shujie and Chen Zihua completed an attack successively, Li Mu scored the first goal of the game for the Chinese team, and the Chinese team led Iran 1:0 at home.

It was the nineteenth minute of the game, and the Chinese team exchanged three shots for a one-goal lead. At this time, the Iranian team only had one shot on goal, which was completed by Azmoun, who said before the game that he hoped to beat the Chinese team.

The backward Iranian team made a lot of efforts on the counter-attack, but never got too good chances, and the only time they threatened was in the 28th minute when Azmoun's header in the box hit the goal, but Ma Junqiang was very brave enough to save the ball.

In the 36th minute, Zhang Shujie won the ball near the middle circle, dribbled the ball all the way past the opponent's four players, and finally scored the ball nine meters from the goal, 2:0!

At the end of the first half, the Chinese team walked into the locker room with a two-goal advantage. Iran made some changes in the second half, with Latobi replacing Amiri and China making no changes.

The Iranian team's adjustment was not successful, whether it was in attack or defense, Latobi did not bring much help to the team, and if it were not for the luck of the Iranian team, they might have fallen behind 0:4 in 70 minutes.

Although the Iranian team avoided the bad luck of conceding another goal twice in the second half, it could not avoid the third time, in the 77th minute, Li Mu used a beautiful Marseille slalom on the right side to shake the two defenders, and passed the ball to Zhang Shujie at the back point, and the Chinese team's No. 9 jumped high to score with a header, and the score became 3:0!

There are only ten minutes left in the time, and there is no suspense for the Chinese team to win, An Rong began to make bold substitutions, he replaced Zhang Shujie and Li Mu with Liu Jianwei and Wu Xiao at the same time in the 79th minute, and replaced Xu Ziyi with Qin Tianzhu in the 83rd minute.

After the whistle blew at the end of the game, the Chinese team defeated Iran 3:0 at home, ushering in two consecutive wins in the round of 12.

After beating these two teams, the Chinese team also temporarily ranked first in the group standings with a six-point advantage. There is no doubt that the Chinese team is definitely the biggest favorite to qualify, and before these two matches, South Korea and Iran also tried to pull the Chinese team down by pulling it down. But it turns out that the Chinese team, which has two Golden Ball gentlemen, is not something that these Asian teams can deal with.

China's third game will not be played until the 6th of next month, against Syria, and the internationals who played in Europe all returned to the club on the second day of the game. After two consecutive wins, An Rong also intentionally or unintentionally revealed that in the match with Syria, he will not recall all foreign players, and will mainly use domestic players as the team to play.

As soon as he spoke, many media talked about it, and everyone felt that it was better for An Rong to let the foreign players serve as the main force in this important game related to the World Cup, after all, this is different from a friendly match, if it fails, you will have to wait for another four years, and most of these foreign players will be around thirty years old, like Ma Junqiang, who will be thirty-one.

Some media also believed: "The opponent in the next round is Syria, and even if the Chinese team does not send all the main forces, even if it is only half, the chance of winning is very high." And An Rong also has his own considerations, the top 12 matches are relatively intensive, the interval between the two games is only five days, the Chinese players who play in Europe fly back and forth, and also play the league and the Champions League for the club, it is difficult to ensure that the body will not feel tired, and a tiredness will affect the state, so An Rong's consideration is not unreasonable. ”
