Chapter 193: A Difficult Score

The game was played in the 83rd minute when Qatar got a corner. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The ball went to the penalty area, Ma Junqiang jumped up and struggled to pick up the ball, Sebastian also jumped to the top, the two bodies had a contact in the air, but Ma Junqiang still relied on his hand to touch the ball first, but he couldn't grasp it, and the ball slipped out of his hand.

This is dangerous, the Chinese team's penalty area is in chaos, Janium took advantage of the chaos to stab, Xu Ziyi turned his back to block the ball outside the goal line. Sebastian followed up and kicked again, at this time Ma Junqiang didn't have time to save, Yan Tao not far away bravely greeted him and stood in front of the goal, Sebastian kicked Yan Tao's stomach with this kick without bias.

The ball jumped out of the bottom line, and Yan Tao squatted on the court.

Ma Junqiang hurriedly stepped forward: "Yan Tao, is there anything wrong?" ”

Yan Tao's eyebrows were twisted together, and he gritted his teeth and said, "No, it's okay." ”

Ma Junqiang was not at ease, Yan Tao's expression looked like a person who was fine. Zhao Wenkang and Xu Ziyi surrounded them, and then Li Mu and Zhang Shujie, who was outside the penalty area, also came over.

Because these people are closer on weekdays, they have also become the most worried about Yan Tao in the team.

Zhang Shujie said: "If you have something, take a rest first?" ”

The referee also came over to ask him if he needed treatment, and as soon as Yan Tao closed his abdomen, Huo stood up straight and shook his head: "It's okay, I can stand it." ”

Sebastian's kick was not covered, and it was impossible to say that it didn't hurt at all. But Yan Tao will not get off the field, his body is the strongest on the field, Sebastian's shot is not very big, and Yan Tao is not unable to hold it.

Since Yan Tao stood up, the game must continue. Just now his stomach blocked the ball outside the baseline, for which Qatar was awarded another corner.

In the 85th minute, the Qatari players were bound to delay a little longer, intentionally or unintentionally, and even longer in the second corner. Liu Jianhong said worriedly: "The game has been played so far, Qatar is still attacking, and there is not much time left for the Chinese team." ”

The ball flew over the small penalty area and began to fall, this time Ma Junqiang did not give Qatar any chance, he roared, jumped high in the crowd, and picked the ball down with both hands.

On the football field, a successful defense is usually followed by a quick counter-attack, especially after the opponent's corner kick is directly won by the goalkeeper, which is the best opportunity to counterattack.

Ma Junqiang threw the ball to Li Mu, and at the moment Qatar's back line only had two defenders, and he also pressed to the midfield with the team's offense to ensure that the team as a whole was not out of touch. After Li Mu won the ball, there was only one Masaied in front of him, and he saw Zhang Shujie involved Bilal in the run, and the other Qatari players were still on the way back to defense, so Masaied had no helper in a short time.

This is what Li Mu wants to see the most, he saw that the surroundings were relatively empty, so he decided to move forward with the ball alone. But instead of using his dazzling skills, he used the most ordinary, and at the same time, the most effective way to pass people.

The ball is divided!

Li Mu's absolute speed is not fast, but his fastest speed of 12.5 seconds is not slow among football players. The biggest reason for this is that he can reach the peak of a sprint in an instant when he starts. In the range of five to ten meters, it is basically the same as Zhang Shujie.

So when Maseille turned around to chase Li Mu, Li Mu had already run away with the ball.

The Chinese team pressed all the way; Qatar is all back to defense! Li Mu rushed to the moment when Marseille caught up, and gave the ball to Zhang Shujie, and he continued to move forward without stopping, Zhang Shujie kept the ball and sent the ball forward diagonally with his left foot, and the ball returned to Li Mu's feet.

Single Knife! It's a single knife!

However, Li Mu's single knife ball was not unbeatable, and Masai had already caught up from behind, only one meter away from him. Bilal, who was eyeing Zhang Shujie, was also at the same level as him, and there were other Qatari players, most of whom returned to within the 30-meter zone of their own side. Correspondingly, several offensive players of the Chinese team also attacked the opponent's 30-meter area, and even Yan Tao, who still had a faint pain in his stomach, attacked.

Li Mu took the ball into the penalty area, and his running speed slowed down, which was unavoidable, because he had to control the ball well, so as not to bring it directly to the goalkeeper. Changing to other strikers, such as Zhang Shujie, will inevitably slow down after rushing into the penalty area.

Li Mu slowed down, and Masai Ed, who was chasing him behind him, would not slow down. Masai Ed stuck to his side and obstructed him.

Liu Jianhong said expectantly and worriedly: "Opportunity! Li Mu! He is now being defended by Marseille Ed, see how Li Mu handles it! He shot! Marseille made a leg to block it, but the ball's flight path didn't change much, and Burhan saved the ball! Zhang Shujie made up the shot...... Oops, he didn't hook the ball, but Zhao Wenkang made up for it and fell down in the penalty area with Sayed, and the referee didn't blow the whistle, but it's a pity that ...... Oh no, Xu Ziyi! Xu Ziyi rushed up! Unguarded! Empty door! Xu Ziyi shoots! The ball is in! In, in, in, in!! ”

Qatari fans unanimously chose to remain silent when they saw Xu Ziyi kicking the ball into the door. And the fans of the Chinese team are boiling! They waved the five-star red flag in the stands and waved the Chinese jersey! Xu Ziyi was so excited that she couldn't find the southeast and northwest, but just roared and ran towards the corner flag, Li Mu and Zhang Shujie and other players flocked to him, Gao Hongbo also ran towards him with Fu Bo, the team leader and a large group of substitute players, pressing him down.

I'm really worried that this young midfielder, who is only 1.82 meters tall, will be crushed into meat sauce by a bunch of big men.

"Will you let me get up? Get me up, haha! Xu Ziyi seemed to be begging for mercy on the surface, but in fact, she was so happy in her heart that she was dying. I didn't expect my national team's first goal to be so crucial.

Chen Hui, Shen Hao, Zheng Dawei and other colleagues hugged each other, not only to celebrate Xu Ziyi's first goal for the national team, but also to celebrate the Chinese team's difficult equalization of the score with one less person. Qatar, as a West Asian powerhouse and the host, can still score two goals in a row in the unfavorable situation of two goals behind Chinese. Even if it were Japan or South Korea, it might not be able to bargain for anything in this situation.

The Chinese team members celebrating the goal have dispersed in the presence of the referee. Zhang Shujie said to Xu Ziyi: "I didn't expect you to score in your second appearance in the national team, it took me four games." ”

Xu Ziyi also smiled: "This also depends on the opportunity, which is what we often call luck." Do you know the previous Li Tie? He scored on his first appearance for his country, so that doesn't mean anything. ”

"Anyway, your goal came at the right time."

Xu Ziyi smiled and nodded, he would not deny this.

In the dugout in Qatar, head coach Metsu frowned, unable to imagine that his team could be equalized by playing 10 opponents at home, he glanced at the scoreboard, the score was 2:2, and the time was 87 minutes.

Metsu still has a substitution spot that he decided to use. He uses Ali? Hassan replaced Lawrence, added a striker, reduced a midfielder, and changed the formation again, making it 4-3-3!

Gao Hongbo also had another chance to make a substitution, but he didn't want to use it right away, he had to wait until injury time. He first asked Li Guobin to warm up, and after the fourth official raised the stoppage time sign, he sent Li Guobin to play at the time of the dead ball, so that he could delay some time, which can be regarded as a tactical substitution.

Qatar restarted in the centre circle and in the remaining minutes, they still have to attack. Gao Hongbo is not a fool, being able to pull two goals back in this part is already the limit of the Chinese team, and it is never a wise choice to play against Qatar again, and he can only defend in the next time.

It would not be a bad thing for the Chinese team to hold on to the draw and get a point, Uzbekistan in the same group has already qualified in advance, Kuwait was eliminated, and the other qualifying place can only be the winner between China and Qatar. The Chinese team has won one game, Qatar lost in the last round, even if this one is only one point, no matter whether Qatar wins or loses in the next game, the Chinese team only needs a draw to secure the right to qualify.

Qatar was already firing on fire, and the fans who had been silent for a while ripped their throats open to cheer for their players. The Chinese team defended with all their might, cowering inside and outside the penalty area, and the fans were unwilling to show weakness in front of Qatar, and tried all kinds of ways to cheer for the national football players.

Sebastian's shot was saved by Ma Jun, the ball hit the crossbar and bounced off the bottom line, and Qatar won the third corner of the second half. Ninety minutes were up, and the game went into stoppage time, with two minutes of stoppage time.

Gao Hongbo finally used the last substitution at this time, and Li Guobin replaced Li Mu.

Li Mu was not surprised to learn that he was about to end. When he saw Li Guobin warming up on the sidelines, he guessed that Gao Hongbo was likely to replace him or Zhang Shujie, since the team was going to defend, it was normal to replace the striker with a defender.

Li Mu walked off the field, passing Zhang Shujie and Zhao Wenkang on the way, the two stretched out their hands to him one after another, and he also clapped lightly with the two team members.

The Chinese fans in the stands all stood up and gave Li Mu a warm applause. Although Li Mu did not score in this game, his performance was also remarkable, and Xu Ziyi's goal was largely due to his breakthrough, if he hadn't torn apart Qatar's defense with his personal ability, maybe the Chinese team would still be behind at this time.

Now that Li Mu is off, Gao Hongbo has replaced Li Guobin, and the substitution at this time is completely due to tactical needs. Gao Hongbo made reasonable use of the rules of the game and wanted to delay the time. ”

Li Mu walked to the sidelines and slapped Li Guobin, the two did not speak, and then the two figures staggered, Li Guobin appeared, and Li Mu went down.

With five defenders at the back and three midfielders, the Chinese team has eight people in the penalty area guarding the gate. Yan Tao, who was hit in the stomach by the ball before, has now recovered, and he stared at Sebastian deadly, which can be said to follow wherever he goes.

Zhang Shujie remained in the front, but he became an ornament. But in Gao Hongbo's eyes, even if it is really an ornament, as long as he is there, he can make Qatar's defenders worry all the time. Even if he didn't score like Li Mu, don't forget that Zhao Wenkang's goal was his assist.

A really good striker is not just as simple as scoring a few goals, but also the invisible deterrent that is the most frightening. For Qatar, Zhang Shujie is such a striker.

With the last 30 seconds left in the game, Qatar became more and more impatient, although they were still in possession of the ball in the front court, but they did not have much to do against the Chinese team's iron bucket formation. Clear-eyed people can see at a glance that they no longer fantasize about overtaking the score.

In the stands, the Qatari fans gradually died down, while the shouts of the Chinese fans became louder and louder.

After Du Peng blocked Jalala's shot, Yan Tao followed up with a big foot and kicked the ball to the front, and Zhang Shujie in front didn't wait for the ball to land, he heard two short and one long whistles from the referee.

"Toot! Honk! Tut-"

At the end of the game, the score was 2:2, and the Chinese team faced the host and struggled to get an away point. The Chinese players waved their arms and cheered, in stark contrast to Qatar's frustration. The Chinese team, with one win and one draw in two games, is in a good situation to qualify, on the contrary, Qatar must win the next game, and it will have to depend on the victory or defeat between China and Uzbekistan to determine whether they can qualify from the group.

The Chinese team took their fate into their own hands.
