336 Reaching the World Cup!
Van der Sheer has turned a blind eye to the controversy in the dressing room and it looks like Tang has settled the problem well.
However, in order to strengthen Tang Hong's captaincy authority in the team, Van der Heer still decided to send him on the field.
What could be more convincing than a performance on the pitch?
As for the team's playing style and tactics, there is no need to emphasize, he has spent nearly a year instilling the concept of defensive counterattack in these players, and he really treats them as children if he temporarily emphasizes them.
But maybe they're just a bunch of kids who need someone to tap on from time to time to remember.
In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again.
The outside world does not know what happened in the locker room of the Chinese team at halftime, but from the perspective of the fans, they were very disappointed with the performance of the Chinese team in the first half.
If it weren't for the fact that it was about the Chinese team qualifying for the World Cup, and Tang Hong replacing Yu Dabao before the start of the second half, many Chinese fans in front of the TV might have given up watching the second half of the game.
Tang Hong appeared on the stage, and Zheng Zhi took the initiative to hand over the captain's armband to him.
The energetic Tang Hong wore the captain's armband, although he came to West Asia from Europe, his fatigue has not recovered, but playing an Oman does not require a 100% physical and super-god Tang Hong!
As long as it's not in a slump, you should be able to win it if you play normally.
Some players of the Chinese team were holding back their anger in their hearts, so they all vented on Oman, which made the Chinese team's style of play become extremely fierce after the start of the second half, and the referee frequently stopped the game with too fierce collisions and scrambles.
But they themselves may not have noticed that when Tang Hong was on the field, their mentality was completely different.
Tool people also have to play their value, otherwise, then change a tool!
Oman is desperate to win a win and get three points, but it gives the Chinese team more room to counterattack.
In fact, there were also counterattacks in the first half, but the Chinese team did not understand the game.
In the 59th minute of the game, Zhao Xujun intercepted successfully in the midfield, Zheng Zhi responded and crossed the ball diagonally to the left side of the midfield, and Tang Hong stopped and took a step to dribble to the middle and then sent an overhead diagonal pass.
The football flew to the right side of the front field, Wu Lei galloped against offside and played an offensive depth advantage, cut the ball into the penalty area and sent the ball to the middle of the goal with a cross before the defender chased it in place, Qin Rui followed up and flanked and pushed the ball into the lower right corner of the goal.
The Chinese team leads the Oman team 1:0 away!
The few Chinese fans who cheered for the Chinese team away finally cheered enthusiastically.
Finally a goal!
I'm finally playing well.
The Chinese team will celebrate together, and the verbal clash in the dressing room at half-time finally eased the tension because of the goal.
The Oman team began to fight to the death, pressing heavily to create danger in front of the Chinese team.
Zeng Cheng's wonderful save was particularly morale-boosting, and he didn't waste time in the mud, a strong hand threw the ball to find Luo Hongkai, who pulled the ball and changed direction and then turned around to break through beautifully to get rid of it, and then sent a through ball.
Qin Rui stopped the ball in front of the middle circle and dribbled forward, Tang Hong and Wu Lei flew together and ran inward, which made the Oman team's defense difficult to resist at all!
Their defensive focus was on Tang Hong, and Qin Rui passed the ball diagonally to the front of Wu Lei's running line.
When Wu Lei hit the penalty area again, Tang Hong had already thrown off the defender in the long-distance run, and Wu Lei once again sent a nanny-style assist.
Tang Hong stopped the ball in the penalty area and faked his kick to shake the goalkeeper and easily sent the ball into the empty goal.
The Chinese team leads the Oman team 2:0 away!
Van der Heer applauded on the sidelines, the Chinese team's counterattack routine is actually very simple, but it is to hone the simplest to perfection, which is also not a small threat!
Tang Hong scored his first goal for the national team in 2013 and his 13th since joining the national team.
It doesn't sound like much, but many Chinese football media assert that Tang Hong will become the top scorer in the history of the national team within five years, because the top scorer has only 40 goals.
Oman are two goals down and losing this game would all but mean they will miss out on the 2014 World Cup.
They were still making their final struggles, while the Chinese team calmly played their defensive counter-attacks.
In the 82nd minute of the game, when the Oman team lost the ball in the midfield and the Chinese team launched a comprehensive counterattack, in addition to the front trident, Zheng Zhi and Luo Hongkai also hit the front of the penalty area.
Tang Hong passed the ball horizontally into the penalty area from the side, Qin Rui knocked the ball back, Luo Hongkai stepped forward and stopped with a single knife, but when the goalkeeper attacked, he knocked the ball horizontally again, and Zheng Zhi followed up and scored the ball with a push in the face of the empty goal.
3:0!
The Chinese team won easily!
Zheng Zhi took the initiative to hug Luo Hongkai, and the two looked at each other and smiled, and the excitement after the goal completely dissipated the little quarrel at halftime.
At the end of the game, the Chinese team cheered and celebrated for advancing to the 2014 World Cup!
The players themselves are relatively restrained.
Perhaps because they grabbed points well in the first half of the top 10 matches, and the away defeat of Japan and Australia's own chain loss made their prospects for qualification very bright, and now they have a natural World Cup ticket, but they have more expectations in addition to excitement.
Chinese fans have begun to revel, and major media are reporting on the feat of the Chinese team reaching the World Cup for the second time in history!
On major social platforms, "The Chinese team is awesome! It has also become a slogan for dominating the screen.
The top 10 match of the Chinese team is not over yet, and Van der Sheer still expects the team to play against the Japanese team in real time!
It's an important game to work out the team.
As for the last game to go to Australia, you can train the newcomers and use some substitutes to deal with it, after all, the fatigue of the journey is too much.
Japan's home draw with Australia, five points ahead of Jordan, will not guarantee a direct place in the play-offs, even if they are overtaken by the rankings.
However, this is certainly not what Japan are looking for, and they will certainly be hoping to secure a place in the qualification spot with a win over China on the road.
Australia will host Jordan in their last game against Oman and Australia at home against an already qualified China team in their last game.
The Chinese team continued to prepare seriously after returning to the Xianghe National Football Training Base, and Van der Hill has already stressed that he needs the best Chinese team to face Japan at home!
No player dares to slack off.
Because qualifying for the World Cup does not mean that you can safely get on the plane and go to Brazil together.
Now that the promotion is confirmed, if Van der Hill is kicked out of the squad for the World Cup at the last moment, it is estimated that it will be difficult to let go for the rest of his life.
They do what the manager asks them to do.
In contrast, the mentality of Chinese fans is very relaxed, and they can cheer for the Chinese team with a simple attitude after the celebration, without the slightest mental pressure and psychological baggage.
On June 11, the Chinese team finally played a home game in the capital after many years, perhaps the Chinese team's promotion to the World Cup brought a turnaround in its image, and they were qualified to play in the capital, and they came to the Workers' Stadium to face the visiting Japanese team.
The Japanese team is missing Shinji Kagawa, the core of the midfield, and the impact is not small.
Head coach Zaccheroni revealed in an interview before the game that they had also asked Shinji Kagawa how to restrain Tang Hong during their preparations.
As for what Kagawa Shinji's answer was, he didn't say.
It seems that Shinji Kagawa has become a tactical staff officer!
On the night of the match, the Beijing Workers' Stadium was full!
The red waves in the stands are spectacular!
When the Chinese team played with the Japanese team, the atmosphere at the scene was terrifying!
Chinese fans repeatedly shouted "Come on, Chinese team!" "It's exciting.
Tang Hong, who wore the No. 11 jersey, was still the focus of the game, and most of the Chinese fans in the stands were wearing the No. 11 jersey.
Van der Hill once asked Tang Hong if he wanted to change to a jersey number of 7 or 10, which sounded more special, but Tang Hong said he was not interested.
He is not a digital controller, the football in his eyes is very simple, there is no need to engage in too many forms, and he hopes to give a jersey and a number a special meaning with his own performance.
Braga sealed his number 11 shirt.
The number 7 shirt at Manchester United has a special meaning in its own right, but he is also the team's all-time leading scorer in a single season.
In other words, if Tang Hong retires tomorrow, the future owner of the No. 11 jersey of the Chinese team may be under a lot of pressure, because Tang Hong has begun to make this jersey no longer ordinary.
After the kick-off ceremony, Tang Hong stood in the middle circle and prepared to kick off with Qin Rui.
Today, the Chinese team came up with the strongest lineup, and the Japanese team also sent elite forces in addition to Shinji Kagawa's absence.
The Chinese team started 433.
Goalkeeper: Zeng Cheng.
Defenders: Zhang Linpeng, Liu Tao, Dai Lin, Sun Xiang.
Midfielders: Zhao Xujun, Luo Hongkai, Zheng Zhi.
Forwards: Wu Lei, Qin Rui, Tang Hong.
Japan's starting XI is also 433.
Goalkeeper: Eiji Kawashima.
Defenders: Atsuto Uchida, Yasuyuki Konno, Maya Yoshida, Yuto Nagatomo.
Midfielders: Makoto Hasebe, Keisuke Honda, Hohito Endo.
Forwards: Hiroshi Kiyotake, Yuya Osako, Shinji Okazaki.
The Japanese team apparently learned the lesson of the heavy defeat at home in the first half of the round of 10 and did not dare to play with fire on the back line.
Compared to Takatoku Sakai and Hiroki Sakai, Atsuto Uchida is more flexible, and it may be better to target a fast winger like Tang Hong, at least that's what Zaccheroni thinks.
With the referee's whistle, the game begins!
After Tang Hong knocked the ball back, the Chinese team quickly launched an offensive without any drag, but the overall formation was still relatively backward.
The offense relies on the front trident to create chances.
When Tang Hong dribbled forward quickly from the left to advance the attack, Makoto Hasebe and Atsuto Uchida flanked him.
Qin Rui took the initiative to pull the edge and respond to Tang Hong's completion of a wall-to-wall pass and cut cooperation.
Tang Hong hit the left side of the penalty area in front of the fake dangle and then dialed the ball and dribbled in front of Yayuki Konno, and then got up and shot at an angle!
The football flew straight to the near corner of the goal, and the strongest goalkeeper in Asia, Eiji Kawashima, flew to save the ball from the bottom line!
The cheers on the scene came and went!
Shoot beautifully, pounce wonderfully!
This rhythm is a sign that the game will not be calm!
