This trip to Qatar is not "quite fruitful", but it will get a point anyway.

The news came back to China, and according to some media predictions: if the Chinese team wins all the next games at home, then the Chinese team, which has at least 13 points, can basically ensure that the top 10 will qualify. Even if you can't qualify as the top spot, you have a good chance of fighting for the third place in Asia.

And this argument has also been recognized by many fans.

Everyone knows that going to West Asia to play is simply too sinful and torturous, and it is not as comfortable as winning on our own doorstep.

In other words, if you can win all of them on your own home, then you can play away... It's best to win, and if you can't win, you won't lose.

After such arguments gradually emerged, the minds of the fans also came alive.

The Chinese team, with one win and one draw in the first two games, has extremely promising prospects for qualifying.

On September 28, at 20:50 in the evening, the national football team flew back to Beijing on a chartered flight. Then it flew to Dalian without pause and arrived at 21:50.

Even though it was already more than ten o'clock in the evening, there were still many fans who came to pick up the plane.

"Chinese team, come on! The Chinese team must win!! "The arranged female fans lined up in front of the team to lay flowers one by one, and took pictures with the players. The organizers even found a deaf fan to write a couplet to express their support for the Chinese team.

That night, when the Chinese team stayed in the Oriental Building, in the face of the hotel staff's queue to welcome, consultant Chen Dacheng was moved, took the hotel manager's hand and said: "I didn't play well in Qatar this time, I didn't expect the fans to be so welcome after I came back, I really don't know what to say..."

"It's okay, it's okay, it's an away game! If you don't lose, you win! The hotel manager laughed.

This time, because the Chinese team did not have a bye, Ou Chuliang also flew back to Dalian with the team.

Due to the fermentation of the argument of "winning at home", Yuan Weimin came to the scene in person and cheered for the front-line combat players: "Any game must be completed by everyone, not relying on the sky, not relying on the ground, fighting out!" If you don't solve the problem of losing, you will die, and you won't be able to take it. The more stressful it is, the more you have to think about it. See through the red dust and liberate yourself! The ball can be lost, but the man can't lose! But the loser can't lose his will! ”

Yuan Weimin's words made the players enthusiastic, and the players who were greatly encouraged were excited, eager to immediately pick up the kitchen knife and fight with the Saudi players.

On October 3, at 16:15 p.m., the Chinese team played the third match of the final round of the World Cup qualifiers with the Saudi Arabian team at the Golden State Stadium in Dalian.

The audience was still filled with 30,000 people in the stadium, and the first set of CCTV programs was broadcast live.

Amid the chanting of "win at home", the players did their best as soon as they started. In addition, the game was played in the cold autumn rain, and the temperature was only 8 degrees Celsius, so the Saudi team, which was obviously not adapted to the weather, naturally could not play its own level.

Through the "water war", the Chinese team, which occupies the right time and place, launched a fierce attack at the beginning.

In the 12th minute, Ma Mingyu and Sun Jihai played a beautiful combination on the right side, but the former's final shot was saved by Saudi goalkeeper Diayeya. A few minutes later, Peng Weiguo took a corner kick, and Xie Hui's lion flick also failed to break through Diayeya's ten fingers.

After that, Peng Weiguo's free kick grazed the post, and Sun Jihai's long-range shot from the corner assisted by Sun Jihai almost opened the door of the Saudi team.

In the rain, the hands were slippery, and the Chinese team was guarding against the opponent's long-range shots while threatening the opponent's goal with long-range shots as much as possible.

In the 30th minute, the Chinese team broke the ball in the middle of the counterattack, Ma Mingyu burst into the penalty area with the ball, and in the face of the defenders who were besieged by the opponent, his right foot actually knocked back at the top of the arc of the penalty area.

In the drizzle, perhaps it was disturbed by the view. Li Jinyu's follow-up shot directly penetrated the door of Diayeya and helped the Chinese team take a 1-0 lead.

The appearance of the goal raised the morale of the Chinese team, and the fans who came to the scene also waved the big flag in their hands in the rain. In the 40th minute, Yu Hewei's shot was once again saved by Diayeya, which was the ninth shot of the Chinese team in the first half. In the unaccustomed rainy day, Diayea only conceded one goal, which is already extremely rare.

Saudi Arabia, which could only rely on counterattacks under the pressure of the Chinese team, took a corner kick in the 44th minute, and Ou Chuliang jumped high in the penalty area and picked up the corner kick above the head of the opponent's striker with an absolute advantage.

This young goalkeeper who can pounce and jump has left a strong psychological shadow on the Saudis as early as the Asian Cup.

At least, in the Asian arena, no one underestimates Ou Chuliang because of his age and size. When they saw Ou Chuliang holding the ball firmly in his arms, the Saudi players knew that the first half of the game was over.

In the second half, both sides increased the pace of attack.

In the 50th minute, the captain of the Saudi Arabian team's No. 8 used a fish leap to the top in the counterattack and almost scored. Ou Chuliang almost "fished" the ball back in a single chapter on the goal line. Such an extreme save once again won the applause of the fans.

Five minutes later, the Chinese team took the lead in changing formations, and the young Zhang Xiaoruiyu came on the field again to replace Peng Weiguo.

He played several long passes in a row to the back of the Saudi team, which was very accurate, making the Chinese team's attack more active.

In the 70th minute, Sun Jihai, who basically played as a right winger in this game, staged a good cross from the right side, but the ball was blocked by the Saudi defenders. Zhang Xiaorui took a corner kick, and in the penalty area, Zhang Jihua pressed two Saudi players, and a lion shook his head into the far corner to help the Chinese team expand the score.

In the 78th minute, the Chinese team used the last substitution, and the young Jianlibao teenager Li Tie appeared again to consolidate the midfield, and Yao Xia and Zhang Xiaorui contained the Saudi team.

Losing one goal is also losing, and losing two goals is also losing.

The Saudi team's counteroffensive before the game was like a rainbow, and the fire of war basically burned in the Chinese team's half.

Fortunately, the Chinese team had a clear mark, assisted in defense, and restrained the two Saudi strikers to the end, and finally held on to the score of 2-0 to the end and won the second game of the final round of the World Cup qualifiers.

For this reason, the national football team also paid the price of three yellow cards for General Fan (27th minute), Zhang Xiaorui (80th minute) and Li Ming (89th minute), and also made a total of six people in the team with cards, and the next game needs to be more cautious.

Under the tears of excitement and happiness of the fans, the Chinese team temporarily ranked first in the group with two wins and one draw. Although they drew with weaker Qatar, they won both of the group's two most threatening opponents.

On October 4, the Chinese team left Dalian again for Beijing and flew to Sharjah, United Arab Emirates, on a chartered flight. Yu Genwei, who was injured against Saudi Arabia, stayed in Beijing for conservative treatment and did not travel to West Asia with the national football team.

On October 10th, at 7 p.m., the Chinese team met in Mohammed. Al Hamad Stadium and Kuwait played the fourth match of the final round of the World Cup qualifiers, and the audience was nearly 3W, including thousands of fans from China.

Playing away, the national football team, which was still trying to defend the counterattack, unexpectedly scored with the first shot after the opening.

In the 3rd minute, Li Ming handed the ball to Li Jinyu in the middle of the field, who quickly sent a direct pass, Xie Hui received the ball at the top of the arc, turned around without pause and shot with his right foot. The ball flew into the corner of the Kuwait goal, creating the fastest goal in the final round of the World Cup qualifiers.

After the first match against Iran, Rad and Qi Wusheng decided to ensure that at least one Jianlibao midfielder starts in every next game.

In this way, the veterans in the midfield can not only lead the whole team with experience, but also the young Jianlibao players can use hard running and abundant physical strength to meet each other in the front and back courts.

In retrospect, it was the right decision.

The Kuwait team, which conceded the goal in lightning, counterattacked aggressively, and the Chinese team, which had contracted its defense prematurely and suffered some gains and losses, retreated step by step. For a time, there was a lot of noise in front of the national football team.

In the 24th minute, the Kuwait team launched an attack in the middle, the No. 12 midfielder passed the ball into the penalty area, and the No. 20 midfielder grabbed the ball before Ou Chuliang abandoned the goal, and flew up to pick the ball into the net to equalize the score.

Seeing that the midfield was seriously out of control, Ladd made a change before the end of the first half. No. 5 Li Tie came on the field to replace Li Jinyu as the back, and for a while, this young "devil muscle cabbage" killed all sides in the midfield. None of the Kuwaiti players who attacked were his enemy.

In the end, the two sides went into halftime with a 1-1 draw.

In the second half, the Chinese team, under the command of Ladd, changed its previous conservative retreat and resolutely pressed out to attack the Kuwait team.

In the 57th minute, Ladd made another transfer, No. 16 Peng Weiguo replaced Li Ming as the front midfielder, and Sun Jihai actively stepped forward.

The effect of the two substitutions and reorganization was obvious, and the control of the midfield was gradually transferred to the Chinese team.

The Kuwaiti players fought too hard in the first half, their physical strength decreased significantly, and they began to be unable to keep up with the rhythm of the national football team.

In the 72nd minute, the Chinese team made the last substitution, sending the "fast knife prodigal" No. 11 Gao Feng.

Except for the first game against Iran, Gao Feng was almost hidden by Qi Wusheng and Rade.

But now, Gao Feng's debut sounded the call for the national football team to win the game away. Half a minute before the end of the game, Sun Jihai, who had previously staged three consecutive shots to the middle post, once again came out from the right side, and a precise pass found Gao Feng who cruied from the right side to the front of the penalty area.

Gao Feng caught the ball and shot angrily, and the Kuwaiti defender subconsciously stretched out his foot to block, but found that it was Gao Feng's feint. After shaking off the opponent's defender, Gao Feng took a step sideways and shot with his left foot. This time, the ball went straight into the net like a cannonball.

After the first round of the top 10 round-robin, the Chinese team ranked first with three wins and one draw in the first four games, Saudi Arabia ranked second with seven points, and Iran ranked third with only five points. Kuwait has four points and Qatar has one point.

In terms of points, all fans have seen the dawn of qualifying.
