What kind of football team is Uzbekistan? Most Chinese fans will probably blurt out: It is a weak team in Asian football! This sentence was not an exaggeration 10 years ago, but in recent years, Uzbekistan's strength has increased by a large margin, and although it cannot be called the top team in Asia, it can definitely be regarded as a strong team in West Asia.

Before 2006, Uzbekistan's world ranking was lower than that of the Chinese team most of the time, but from 2006 to 2009, the Chinese team was inferior to Uzbekistan. In 2007, China ranked 81st in the world and Uzbekistan ranked 68th, a difference of 13 places, and in 2006, China ranked 84th and Uzbekistan ranked 83rd, with a difference of only one place.

It wasn't until last year that the Chinese team, led by Gao Hongbo, rose to 87th in the world, surpassing Uzbekistan (ranked 101) again.

So judging from these data, Uzbekistan is definitely an opponent that the Chinese team cannot underestimate. Moreover, China also lost 0:3 to Uzbekistan in the last Asian Cup! However, this does not mean that the current Chinese team has no chance, not to mention that young players such as Zhang Shujie and Li Mu are rising and have gradually become the backbone of the national football team.

Looking at the situation in each group, Uzbekistan's opponents in the knockout round depend on the ranking of the winners and losers in Group B, and the opponents are likely to be one of Syria and Japan. These two teams are certainly stronger than Japan, and for Uzbekistan, they will certainly be willing to avoid Japan, so it is necessary for them to fight for the top spot in the group.

Of course, these are all speculations in the Chinese media, and the media also asked head coach Vamdi Abramov about whether Uzbekistan will go all out in the final game of the group stage, but Amuramov did not give a positive answer.

The match will be played at 0:15 a.m. Beijing time on January 17, and will also be played at the same time as the match between Qatar and Kuwait. Chinese fans are destined to stay up late again, but in order to cheer for the team, it doesn't matter if you are tired. After all, this year's Chinese team is much stronger than in previous years, not to mention that there are still several "hopes for the future of Chinese football" in the team.

Now that the game is about to start, Gao Hongbo repeatedly instructed the important places, and then opened the door of the locker room and said loudly: "Let's play!"

At the same time, the door of the locker room in Uzbekistan on the opposite side also opened, and the players of the two teams poured out almost simultaneously, and the 22 main players stood in two columns on the players' tunnel.

The stands around were already full of fans, and there were more fans of the Chinese team. The main reason is that Uzbekistan has no suspense to qualify, and the Chinese team is different, this game is related to whether the national football team can stand out from the encirclement, so Chinese fans account for the majority.

There were also a lot of viewers in front of the TV, Wang Shihan watched the game with his father, and even pulled his mother over! Zhao Huizhen really couldn't understand football, but Wang Shihan insisted on letting Zhao Huizhen accompany the father and daughter to watch the game on the grounds of "paying attention to the performance of her future son-in-law."

Since the two matches are played at the same time today, a small number of Chinese reporters have arranged to watch the Qatar vs Kuwait game, and reporters for such a major event can not only take care of the Chinese team, but also report other games. Yuan Qing and Cao Weilin went to the Gafara Stadium, which is the venue for the game in Qatar.

On the Khalifa Stadium, the players of the two teams have already entered the field, the captain of the Chinese team Du Peng and the captain of Uzbekistan Jepalov have chosen the field and ball possession respectively, and Uzbekistan kicks off first in the first half.

The starting lineup of the Chinese team in this game is very different from the previous two games, the formation is 4-3-1-2, the goalkeeper is still Ma Junqiang, the back line has changed, Hu Xiaoning is suspended in this round, Li Guobin replaced him to play center back, and Du Peng partnered, Wu Hao on the left, and Yan Tao, who performed well in the last game, appeared in the position of the main right back; Xu Ziyi and Zhao Wenkang, the teenager Xu Ziyi got the trust of Gao Hongbo and obtained the starting qualification; the front is Deng Zhuoxiang, and the strikers are Zhang Shujie and Li Mu, of which Li Mu's position is lower than Zhang Shujie, as a shadow striker, used to connect the midfield, Zhang Shujie leans slightly to the right, plays the right forward, and can also play the role of a center forward.

Uzbekistan launched an attack at the beginning and would not be soft on the Chinese team at all because they had already obtained the right to qualify, which invisibly increased the pressure on the Chinese team to qualify.

But the Chinese team is not without the ability to fight back, and there are also opportunities to counterattack when defending the opponent's attack. In the first fifteen minutes, both sides had a couple of attacks, each with two shots on goal, but they failed to score.

Gao Hongbo stood on the sidelines, watching the performance of the players, also pay attention to the LCD screen, and watch the broadcast of another Qatar and Kuwait match, both of which were played simultaneously. In the seventeenth minute, a score was shown on the big screen: Qatar 1:0 Kuwait, 17′ Ahmed.

Qatar is ahead! The Chinese team is still 0:0!

However, this is not necessarily bad news, as long as the Chinese team does not lose, even if the draw ends, even if Qatar scores ten goals, it will be fine.

Zhang Shujie made a one-two with Li Mu in the front court, and the latter took the ball into the penalty area, but Li Mu was too keen on a precise angle when shooting, and the ball rolled past goalkeeper Nesterov, but did not roll into the goal, but grazed the post and rolled out of the bottom line.

The opportunity was missed, Li Mu also looked regretful, and he clearly heard a large voice of regret coming from the stands.

"It's a pity! Li Mu's ball would have been scored if he had gone a little inside. Liu Jianhong also regretted it.

After Uzbekistan was lucky enough to escape, it naturally wanted to change the color of the Chinese team. Although the goal was not scored just now, it also scared the players and fans, if they don't report back to the Chinese team, how can they be worthy of their name as a strong team in West Asia.

The "return" that Uzbekistan thinks of is definitely not just to scare the Chinese team.

Captain Jepalov passed diagonally to striker Heinrich, Heinrich carried Du Peng on his back, knocked his partner Shatskikh horizontally, and Li Guobin defended Shatskikh with his chest and back. Seeing that the shot was hopeless, teammate Kapatze was stared at by Yan Tao as soon as he rushed up. Out of the corner of his eye, Shatskikh saw Depalov coming up and passed the ball to him.

Jepalov took the ball diagonally to the goal in the small penalty area, and Ma Junqiang attacked! He attacked very timely, and Jepalov's shot angle was already small, and Ma Junqiang abandoned the goal, making the angle even smaller.

Jepalov kicks the shot. Ma Junqiang fell to the ground on his side, reached out and pounced, and the ball hit his palm, bounced to the goalpost, and bounced off the bottom line.

Ma Junqiang stood up and said slightly angrily: "Defend! Defend! Keep an eye on them at any time! Don't always see only the people in the penalty area! The people behind should also pay attention!"

Ma Junqiang stared at Wu Hao saying this, when Jepalov plugged in, Wu Hao was closest to him, but he didn't follow him at any time, which was a mistake in marking.

Liu Jianhong said: "The Chinese team was very dangerous just now, and the fans were also scared. Fortunately, I was just scared and the goal was held. ”

Uzbekistan took a corner, the first they won in the first half and the first corner of the game so far.

Captain Jepalov drove the ball out, but instead of going straight to the box, he gave it to Haidarov, a midfielder. It was a tactical corner kick from Uzbekistan, and Haidarov saw that the defenders in the Chinese team penalty area were scattered, and got up to pass the ball in.

Heinrich and Du Peng jumped up at the same time to fight for the point, Du Peng was held down by Heinrich and failed to grab him. The ball was in front of him, Heinrich flicked his head and the ball flew into the top right corner of the penalty area.

Ma Junqiang kicked the ground with both legs and pounced sideways. But Heinrich's header was too awkward, Ma Junqiang didn't even touch the ball, and when he fell to the ground and looked back, the ball was lying in the goal with a spin.

Heinrich began to cheer, and after twenty-eight minutes of play, he finally broke the deadlock on the field. Uzbekistan leads the Chinese team 1:0!

The Chinese fans in the stands were silent, and many of them looked a little dazed, as if they didn't know what was going on. Chen Hui and these reporters also looked very helpless, they also thought in their hearts that the Chinese team might lose the ball first, but when it happened in front of them, it was still difficult to accept it.

Rivals Qatar have a one-goal lead, while their own team is one goal behind.

There is still more than an hour before the game will end, but many fans have begun to have a pessimistic attitude, this is not a distrust of the players, the key is that the Chinese team has dropped the chain many times in major games, with these disgraceful records, it is inevitable that fans will be worried.

Although the team has Zhang Shujie and Li Mu, the fans are afraid, for fear that if they are not careful, they will not see the Chinese team in the knockout round.

Gao Hongbo sat in the coach's seat, with no movements and no instructions. It seems that he is very calm, but as long as you look at his expression, you can know that he is also unhappy.

The coach of the national team is frowning at the moment!

Ma Junqiang didn't blame a certain player, it's not that the marking is not tight, Du Peng is staring at Heinrich at any time, this lost goal is not that he missed someone, it can only be said that he didn't stare at it. But since the ball has been lost, it is useless to be afraid, and it is the right thing to find a way to get the score back. Zhang Shujie and Li Mu stood at the center circle point, ready to kick off again.

"Hey, Jay, you've only had one shot on goal in the past half an hour, you don't want to go on today, you have to put in a better performance than you did up front. I bet Wang Shihan and her parents are watching you in front of the TV. Li Mu said in a low voice.

Zhang Shujie pursed his lips and said, "I understand." I wanted to score a goal too, but the time wasn't right yet. ”

"Don't worry, I'll help you. ”

The referee's whistle blew, and Zhang Shujie knocked the ball to Li Mu. Wang Shihan looked at the TV, threw the pillow in his hand, and muttered: "I'm so annoying! I actually lost a ball first." ”

Wang Qingzhe comforted: "Football matches are like this, you never think about what will happen next. ”

"I'm still waiting to see the picture of Zhang Shujie's goal. I didn't see it, but I didn't say anything, and I let Uzbekistan score. ”

"Stop nagging, let's see what happens next. How strong is he, you should know him better than me and your mother. ”

Wang Shihan took a deep breath and said, "There is still so much time, I don't believe that he can't score a goal!"

The Chinese team did not attack immediately, the opponent's defense line was tight, and the defenders were ready to attack, and it was not easy to attack immediately. The two teams spent about five minutes with each other, and the Chinese team seized on a mistake from the other team and finally launched an attack!

Xu Ziyi cut off Jepalov's pass in midfield, aimed at the front of him, and passed to Deng Zhuoxiang. In Deng Zhuoxiang's expectation, he originally handed the ball to Li Mu, but he couldn't give it out, so he split to the right side.

Zhao Wenkang stopped the ball, he saw Yan Tao along the right side of the assist, and shouted loudly: "Here! Pass it to me!" Zhao Wenkang didn't think about it, and pushed straight forward, and the ball reached Yan Tao's feet.

Yan Tao was close to the bottom line, about four yards apart, and even shorter from the sideline, less than three yards. In football, this position is relatively empty most of the time, and Yan Tao also made a slight adjustment, passing the ball to the Uzbek goal before the opposing defender came up to intercept.

Zhang Shujie jumped high, a header hit the goal, the strength was there, the angle was a little worse, the ball hit Nesterov's chest, rebounded to the penalty area, Li Mu followed and slower, Nesterov ran forward two steps, and the ball was not in his arms.

Zhang Shujie slapped his palm angrily, he thought that the ball should be scoreable when he pushed the ball, but because the angle was not selected, the ball went directly to the goalkeeper.

The ball didn't score, and Yan Tao hurried back to defense. This was the best chance the Chinese team got in the 37th minute of the first half, but unfortunately Zhang Shujie did not go in. In the remaining minutes, the Chinese team also had two shots on goal, which were completed by Li Mu and Zhang Shujie respectively, but they did not pose much threat, and they were 108,000 miles away from scoring.

Uzbekistan had a shot that almost broke the Chinese team's city again, Jepalov's shot in the big penalty area hit Du Peng's back, and the ball formed a refraction, which also made Ma Junqiang from the right direction to the wrong direction, and it was too late to save again.

Almost everyone present thought that the Chinese team was going to concede the second goal, but fortunately, the goalpost saved the Chinese team and blocked the ball, and Li Guobin hurriedly kicked the ball out of the penalty area.

Ma Junqiang stood up and secretly said "It's dangerous", and Yan Tao even said continuously: "Good luck, good luck!"

This time, the Chinese team narrowly escaped death, but the fans' heart attacks were almost scared out. Shen Hao also gestured a cross with his hand, and said in his mouth: "God, bless the Chinese team not to lose any more goals, and bless the Chinese team to score goals quickly!"

It is unknown whether the "god" heard Shen Hao's prayer, but Chen Hui did, and he, an atheist, glared at Shen Hao, and then turned his attention to the game.

In the first two minutes of stoppage time, neither side scored, not even a shot on goal. After the referee blew the whistle, the Chinese team also had to walk to the locker room with a score of 0:1.
