"Audience friends, this is the Shenyang Olympic Sports Center. ”

"Now the second half of the second round of Group A of the Asian Qualifiers for the World Cup in Russia is being broadcast live. ”

In the first half that just ended, the Chinese team took the lead with Wu Lei's goal, but after the lead, the Chinese team was completely suppressed by Iran and played very hard, and the second half was about to start. ”

"I'm sure everybody is looking forward to seeing if there is a trick to adjust the team's defence, after all, Iran's attack in the last ten minutes of the first half was so ferocious that we were worried about whether we could hold on to the advantage. ”

"The players of both teams walked into the pitch under the leadership of the referee and we could see that Iran made a substitution, replacing the striker Guchanejad with striker Guchanejad for the striker Shojay and playing with two strikers. ”

Guchanejad is the main striker of Heerenveen in the Eredivisie, but so far this season he has only scored one goal in the Eredivisie and is still inferior to China's teenager Zhang Yuning in the scorer list, but the Iranian striker's quality is extraordinary. ”

"Compared to Azmoun, who is more capable as an individual, with more speed and impact, Guchanejad is an opportunist, and many people think that he is not used heavily by Queiroz, but in fact, he has always played a key role in the Iranian team, and in the last round against Qatar, he came off the bench and scored a goal. ”

In the 2014 World Cup qualifiers in Brazil, it was Guchanejad who scored in three consecutive games to help the Iranian team successfully reach the World Cup in Brazil, and it can be said that he is an iconic player in the Iranian national team. ”

'Astute nose, good movement, ability to take chances when it counts, these are the strengths of Guchanejad. ”

'Queiroz brought him on at this point, obviously because he wanted to strengthen the attack. ”

The Chinese team also made substitutions at halftime. ”

Gao Han apparently anticipated Queiroz's idea and replaced striker Gao Lin with midfielder Wu Xi. ”

"Wu Xi has both offense and defense, good running, good defensive ability, and good back-up ability, but what Gao Han values in this game should be his defense. ”

"We have to face up to one thing, and that is that our midfield core player Zheng Zhi is not young, although Zheng Zhi is currently in good form and is one of the most important players in this national team, but we still have to prepare in advance. ”

"The battle between the two world-famous coaches can be described as a-for-tat battle, and the second half of the game is about to begin. ”

…………

…………

With the referee's whistle, the second half of the game officially began.

The Iranian team, which was one goal behind, was really the same as Queiroz's substitution, and took the lead at the beginning of the second half, launching a fierce attack on the Chinese team, and had the opportunity to eat the Chinese team's posture in one go.

After the start of the second half, the Chinese team took the initiative to retreat, focusing on their own 30-meter area, forming a tight defensive formation in a 441 formation, especially in the middle, Zhang Yuning suppressed the Iranian central defenders, especially Montazeri, and Wu Lei clamped Tai Murian.

The Iranian team, which changed the 442 formation, also relied on the wing attack, but under the tight defense of the Chinese team, Iran's offensive seemed to be very strong and ferocious, but in fact it never created a threat, and could only use long-range shots from the periphery to exert pressure.

But Zeng Cheng's performance in this game was as steady as ever, and he didn't give his opponent a chance to shoot from a distance.

After Shojay was substituted, and China's containment of Tamurian and Montazeri, Iran quickly showed signs of organisational weakness, especially after the ball entered the 30-metre zone and lacked a player who could hold the ball.

Azmoun's biggest strengths are speed, movement and scoring, with stopping, adaptation and kick-taking being his strengths, while Guchanejad is an outright opportunist, with the duo forming a two-striker duo that is more about increasing the number of points in the box, but both rely on passing the ball on the flanks and in central midfield.

China's double midfielders and wide defence executed well at this point, cutting off Iran's wide cuts and midfield passes, leaving Iran's two forwards somewhat isolated.

This gives Iran a hard time on the pitch.

Of course, Iran's overall strength advantage makes the Chinese team dare not be careless, and it is difficult to counterattack.

The two sides attacked and defended, and the scene fell into a stalemate.

But this is undoubtedly the best result for the Chinese team, which already has a goal in hand.

…………

…………

"Gao Han really deserves to be Gao Han, he made substitutions in the midfield, which was very decisive and courageous. ”

"Removed Gao Lin, sacrificing the contact point in the frontcourt, but replaced Wu Xi, strengthened the midfield, stabilized the defense, and also cut off the threat of the Iranian team's double strikers. ”

"To be honest, we didn't expect Gao Han to change people like this, we all thought that the second half would continue the formation of the first half, make a stable transition, and then change people after a while, but we didn't expect it to be changed so early. ”

"I guess Gao Han has a hunch that Queiroz will change Guqian Ahmadinejad. ”

In the stands, the bigwigs of the Football Association talked about it word by word, all for the start of the second half.

After the Chinese team replaced Wu Xi, there were four players in the midfield, and the team's tactics also switched to a more balanced 442 formation, which made the defense in the 30-meter area solid, and the field was at a disadvantage, but the Iranian team created not many opportunities, and the defense was stable.

This made everyone have to look at Gao Han with admiration.

In the last game against South Korea, the Chinese team's defensive counterattack was already surprising, but this time against Iran, the team's defensive ability has obviously improved, whether it is the overall queue or the movement of the players, it is better than the previous game.

And Gao Han's on-the-spot command and substitution adjustments have once again played an effect, which led to all the worries, and the stormy start of the second half did not happen, but was orderly and orderly.

"In the past, everyone said that we wouldn't play after the Chinese team took the lead, but I think this game should let everyone take a good look, learn from it, learn from it, and learn from it. ”

Deputy Director Cai said solemnly.

As the world's top coach, Gao Han's coaching ability is undoubted, but the most important thing is his thinking and philosophy.

Many domestic head coaches are stereotyped to follow the routine, to change, to strengthen the attack when they are behind, to strengthen the defense when they are ahead, very rigid and mechanical, but a football game is changing rapidly, and only by being flexible can the enemy win.

In the ancient Chinese art of war, soldiers are impermanent, and water is impermanent.

Gao Han undoubtedly has the essence.

…………

…………

As the game reached a stalemate, the clock ticked by, and the mood of Iran became more agitated.

Especially after 55 minutes of the second half, the mood of the Iranian players has noticeably become more anxious, which can be clearly seen from the foul on Ezzatorahi.

After Shojay went off the field, Ezatorahi and Taymurian sat in the middle, they are mainly defensive, and the veteran Temurian is not young, and his athleticism is far less than that of the year, although the footwork is more exquisite and the overall view is better, but after the second half, the performance is obviously reduced.

This is very similar to Zheng Zhi, the defender of the Chinese team.

As for Ezatolahi who is young and immature, he is known for his defensive ability, and he does not have many ideas to break through dense defense.

In this situation, Iran's midfield will struggle to provide support to the front and will have to rely more on the wings.

After Dejaga was sidelined due to injury, Jahanbakhsh became the most important weapon on the wing and the target of the Chinese team's defense.

The Iranian team's front court originally lacked integrity, and Shojay could still have some organization and tandem when he was on the field before, but after Shojay went down, coupled with the tight time, and the effective defense of the Chinese team, Cech, cut off the connection between them, causing them to fight separately, and the offensive effect was greatly reduced.

Sixty minutes into it, this became more and more evident as the Iranian internationals became more and more physically exhausted.

It was also at this time that everyone in the Olympic Sports Center began to believe that maybe the Chinese team could really win this game.

This level of defense at the beginning of the second half, as long as you persist for a while longer, so that the Iranian players' physical energy is almost exhausted, and then replace the defensive players to further strengthen the defense, I believe it will survive.

Time is passing silently...... Sixty-one ...... Sixty-two ...... Sixty-five ...... Sixty-Seven......

Looks like it's going to win!

This tempting thought appeared not only in the minds of the fans in the stands and the spectators in front of the television, but also in the minds of the players on the field, but the battle-hardened Gao Han knew better than anyone how terrible it was.

So, after going into the 65 minutes, he walked to the sidelines more than once and called on the players to be careful and stay focused.

The darkness before dawn is the most terrible.

Not from the opponent, but from one's own slack and slackness.

But in the 69th minute, the Chinese team once again defended the attack of the Iranian team, and after the central defender Mei Fang got the ball, the first kick did not stop, and he did not clear the siege at the first time, causing the opponent's striker Azmoun to get close quickly.

In a hurry, Mei Fang made a mistake in the chaos and failed to kick the force when passing back to the goalkeeper, resulting in this return pass not being passed well, while Iranian striker Azmoun quickly swept past Mei Fang and chased the ball away.

Mei Fang also realized the danger for the first time, quickly chased back, and caught up with Azmoun, who had already grabbed the ball in advance, at the edge of the penalty area, the two were physically entangled on the periphery of the penalty area, but at the moment when Azmoun was about to enter the penalty area with the ball, the Iranian striker suddenly lost his balance and fell in the penalty area.

The referee's whistle sounded without hesitation and he pointed to the penalty spot.

In an instant, the entire Olympic Sports Center erupted.

All the fans couldn't believe their eyes, they were already about to win, why did they suddenly give their opponents another penalty?

What's going on?

Mei Fang raised her arms high to indicate that she had not committed a foul at all, but the referee said that she saw it very clearly.

Iranian striker Azmoun is not stupid either, he is still lying on the ground and refuses to get up.

Captain Zheng Zhi and the Chinese players have also stepped forward, but where are the Iranian players willing to miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?

Haven't they been on the offensive for so long in the whole game just waiting for a goal?

There was a little chaos on the scene all of a sudden, and no one could tell what was going on at the time without seeing the slow-motion replay, but from their respective positions, their attitudes must be resolute at this time.

But the referee quickly separated the two sides and did not hesitate to say again that it was an indisputable penalty.
