Chapter 44: The Mighty Iranian Team

Strong, the Iranian team is really strong! Asia's No. 1 team is really not covered. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

In the last 10 games, the Iranian team has won 9 and drawn 1, without a defeat. One of them was a win over South Korea.

Both on paper and in practice, the Iranian team far surpassed the South Korean team. And the Chinese team is even more incomparable. South Korea have seven players playing in Europe, but many of them are only submerged. The Iranian team has as many as 8 players who play in Europe, and all of them are the main players of the team.

In the last game, at the home of the Chinese team, they were still injured and stopped, and the Chinese team was still lucky to draw against the other side.

Compared with the Iranian team, although the Chinese team is full of confidence because of the reversal of the South Korean team, the actual strength comparison is still at an absolute disadvantage.

No, in an interview with the media before the game, Jahanbakhsh, the new core of the Iranian team, said.

"The Chinese team has become stronger. Being able to defeat the South Korean team shows that this Chinese team has the strength to go further in the top 12. However, the Iranian team is stronger. In dozens of matches since the '14 World Cup, we have only lost one friendly against Sweden. ā€

"Although the Chinese team is very strong and maybe they will cause us some problems, at the Azadi Stadium the victory will only be ours. ā€

"We're already at the top of the group, but we're not going to let up in this game. We'll do our best!"

When he heard this report, Yan Feng scoffed at first. In his opinion, the Iranian team is on the same level as the South Korean team. As long as there is determination, the Chinese team will definitely win.

But after Yan Feng really got to know the coaching staff, he realized that the Iranian team was definitely a more terrifying opponent than the South Korean team.

In terms of physical fitness, the Chinese team is not bad, and it is on par with the South Korean team in East Asia, at least much stronger than the Japanese team. But compared with the Iranian team, the overall is still a lot worse.

Looking at the average height of the players in the Iranian team and the key meat on each of them, more than half of the players in the Chinese team must have suffered in the confrontation.

Overall, Iran is a team with the body of a European player.

Probably the confidence bonus that came with the victory over South Korea, but apart from a few people in the Chinese team, few people in the Chinese team will find it difficult to play against Iran.

"Victory. We came to Iran to achieve victory. We need points to make a World Cup impact. In an interview, the king of martial arts was also not to be outdone.

"In this game, I am confident that I will use the goal to help the Chinese team win. I'm at my best and I've scored a lot of goals when I'm training with the team. In the end, the king of martial arts vowed that he would score.

Before the game, both sides looked confident in front of the media. Therefore, in the eyes of the media, it will be a wonderful and intense game.

After Tehran simply acclimatized to the desert climate of the Middle East for a few days, it didn't take long for the Chinese team to come into play.

On the day of the match, nearly 100,000 Iranian fans poured into the Azadi Stadium. When I looked up on the court, I saw that there were towering heads all around, and I felt sad when I looked at it.

"I'm going! This number is too scary, isn't it? How do you feel that there are more people in Iran than in our home stadium in China?" Listening to the shouts that constantly shook the heavens and the earth around him, Yan Feng couldn't help but say.

What Yan Feng didn't know was that Iran's home stadium was a relatively famous hellish home stadium. Think of the frenzy of 100,000 people shouting in unison. There are a lot of teams that come here as visitors, and many of them are scared to the point that their feet are weak. There are very few away teams that can play well at the Azadi Stadium.

Compared to other Arapai countries in the Middle East, Iran, which is predominantly Persian, is a relatively moderate Shia. At home, female fans are allowed to come in to watch the game. Therefore, the color of the fans' clothes is quite colorful.

If it is the home of a Sunni country like the United Arab Emirates, women are not allowed to go to the stadium to watch the game, and the surrounding stands are full of white robes, plus all shouting Allah and the like. That's even more scary.

Although Iran's Azadi Stadium is not a seeping white, the pressure on the away players in the middle of the stadium is extremely great with the shouts of 100,000 people. No, during the warm-up, many people in the Chinese team were a little stiff.

Yan Feng also felt great pressure, but his heart was more determined than ordinary people. He has suffered from all kinds of white eyes since he was a child, and he has long developed a strong psychology. With the hope of pursuing the World Cup for the Chinese team, he has been much less affected.

It's Lin Fan's kid, I don't know if it's really big enough or a thick line, so he looks very excited. "Haha, Brother Feng, there are so many people. I heard that there were 100,000 people. Playing in front of 100,000 people is exciting to think about. I love the feeling. It would be even cooler if you scored in front of 100,000 people. ā€

"This kid. The heart is strong enough. Infected by Lin Fan, the last trace of apprehension in Yan Feng's heart was slowly disappearing.

"Brother Feng, I will definitely perform better today. I'm enjoying it. Lin Fan said and closed his eyes, looking like he was enjoying the deafening noise.

"Hehe, it seems that I also have to learn to enjoy the game!" Yan Feng chuckled.

After warming up and returning to the locker room to receive some encouragement from Lippi, Yan Feng and others conducted the entrance ceremony.

The race is on.

The ball is the Chinese team. After the martial arts king pushed the ball to Xiao Zhang Yuning, he ran forward.

Today, Lippi Li agreed to replace Zheng Zhi and Yan Feng with Lin Fanqian. And Zheng Zhi, as the old captain, did not sit on the bench, he kicked the front waist of Hao Junmin, who had dived in the last game today.

Zheng Zhi is actually very comprehensive, except for the goalkeeper, he has played in other positions. Although Hao Junmin played okay in the last game, his weaknesses in physical confrontation, coupled with the gap in experience and scheduling ability, made Lippi determined to push Zheng Zhi forward.

After kick-off, the two sides quickly formed formation. The Chinese team is still 4231, and Iran is 4411.

The ball of the Chinese team was blocked after passing forward a few times, so it was passed back to Lin Fan.

After Lin Fan got the ball, he didn't panic, he first looked up, and when an opponent stepped forward to grab it, he just got rid of it with a button. Then a long pass directly found Xiao Zhang Yuning in front.

Don't look at Xiao Zhang Yuning, although he is quite young, his physical condition is not inferior in the confrontation with European strong men. He first leaned against Husseini behind him, then judged the route of the ball, jumped and shook his head. Direct header overheading.

Headers have always been Zhang Yuning's strong point, and he successfully completed the header. And the successful transition to the king of martial arts who was plugged in the running position.

Wuqiu Wang's running ability has always been very good, and he can become the best striker in the national football team at present, and his running awareness is indispensable. This time, his excellent running ability gave him a good opportunity.

Lin Fan made a long pass, and Zhang Yuning's header was ferried to the king of martial arts. Good ball, the king of martial arts ran out of the opportunity. He's been in good form lately and is said to have scored a lot of goals in training. This ball should be there, right?"

The CCTV host who was broadcasting the game said excitedly and quickly. But as soon as his words fell, they immediately turned into a sigh.

"Hey, why did you slip and fall? There seems to be something wrong with this place. ā€

In the broadcast screen, after the king of martial arts took the ball, he wanted to carry the ball forward to impact, but after a few strokes, he fell.

The person really fell, but whether it was a problem with the field that caused the slippage under his feet is only known to the king of martial arts.

In fact, under the defense of the opponent's defender Praliganji, the king of martial arts couldn't even bring the ball well. It's not easy to hit the goal with the ball.

The Chinese team's offensive was thus blocked. Next, it was Iran's turn to attack.

The Chinese team also pressed, but under the strong physical fitness, the players of the Iranian team insisted on carrying the Chinese frontcourt players behind them to complete various turns and balls.

After a few matches, the Iranian team played the ball to the feet of winger Jahanbakhsh. Jahanbakhsh was extremely strong, and he didn't wait for Lin Fan to move nearby to protect his teammates, so he relied on his personal ability to eat Jiang Zhipeng, the left wingback of the Chinese team. Then, under the desperate pursuit of the latter, a very penetrating through ball diagonally penetrated the entire back line of the Chinese team.

Azmoun, the powerful young player of the Iranian team, was very fast, he got rid of Ren Hang's guard, stopped the ball first, and then directly kicked the goal.

Fortunately, Zeng Cheng was very focused at this time, and his best save blocked Azmon's shot. The ball that was blocked by Zeng Cheng changed direction and hit the post.

Although the goal was not scored, it scared the people on the Chinese team's side into a cold sweat. If Zeng Cheng had played well, the goal would have been scored.

The ball bounced off the bottom line after hitting the post and Iran got a corner.

The Iranian team rushed into the Chinese team's penalty area in an uproar. At this time, the physical superiority of the Iranian team was fully manifested. The players of the Iranian team who rushed into the penalty area, although they were not taller than the defenders of the Chinese team, most of them took advantage of the opponents.

After the corner kick came out, it was won by the Iranian team. Veteran Husseini's header went just wide of the goal.

Although the Iranian team did not score twice in a row, they brought great threat to the Chinese team's goal.

This game has just begun, which makes the Chinese team feel the strength of Asia's No. 1. Compared with China's offensive that did not even form a goal, the Iranian team's attack almost scored.

"Sure enough, the Iranian team deserves to be the No. 1 team in Asia, and this strength is definitely much stronger than the South Korean team. It seems that the next game is not optimistic. Yan Feng also felt the strong pressure brought by the Iranian team.

"Brother Feng, the Iranian team is so strong! This game is not easy to play. Lin Fan, this kid, also felt the pressure.
