Everyone returned to the hotel with black faces.

？

Zhu Guanghu looked at the tired faces on everyone's faces, and thought that they had been robbed in Thailand.

"What's the situation?"

Zhu Guanghu grabbed Li Yin and asked.

"Why are everyone's faces so ugly? What's wrong? ”

Li Yin was a good boy, and then he said the question that Zheng Zhi suddenly raised in the stands.

As a result, Zhu Guanghu also stayed.

That's an embarrassing question! He subconsciously stroked a handful of his curly hair.

"Ahem, history is meant to be broken."

"You can make history."

"Tomorrow you win against Turkmenistan, and you will find that you are not that far from the championship."

He patted Li Yin on the shoulder and quickly escaped. He was still very embarrassed in his heart, and he couldn't accept it himself......

Well, it was actually important to go to Iran and win the championship before......

Tomorrow afternoon they will face Turkmenistan, who are also currently unbeaten. The battle will be decided

Determine whether the Chinese team can complete the "top four" index.

In the past two days, Horton has repeatedly studied the Central Asian opponent with the coaching staff. After watching the video, it is believed that although the Turkmenistan team has remained undefeated in five games, its strength is still much inferior to that of the Chinese team, and the combat thinking must not be conservative.

Even Iran has cleaned up, and is it still afraid of Turkmenistan?

In the evening, the coaching staff gathered several veteran players in the team to study countermeasures and implement the coach's intentions according to the usual practice after coming to Bangkok.

However, this time Zheng Zhi was called.

In the conference room, Horton, Yi, Zhu Guanghu, Jin Zhiyang, Fan Zhiyi, Hao Haixi, Ma Mingyu, etc. were all there, Zheng Zhi did not have stage fright, just like everything was taken for granted.

The reason why he was called was because Zheng Zhi was too important in the team, which had nothing to do with age and seniority. Although the media frantically reported how awesome Horton was, from the players to the coaching staff, everyone knew that it was Zheng Zhi's appearance that made the national team make a qualitative leap, and even Yang Chen was nothing.

Of course, you can't say too much to the media, after all, the more awesome Zheng Zhi is, the more incompetent they will be last year, right?

"The opponent is a team with a lot of experience and a lot of experience, and the ball is very "oily", so you can't take it lightly. ”

……

"Red and yellow cards in the group stage don't go into the quarter-finals, so don't have any fear of taking cards."

"Of course, don't get a red card."

"In the semi-finals, our opponent is probably Iran."

When Zhu Guanghu said these words, he took a special look at Zheng Zhi.

Zheng Zhi immediately rolled his eyes in his heart, Director Zhu, what are you looking at me for? Haven't I been booked yet? Playing Asian teams, you don't need to use too many foul moves to stop the opponent for the time being! Zheng Zhi has already weighed it, unless he meets a team of Iran, South Korea or Japan.

"Mr. Houghton's meaning is to resolutely play according to the tactics of the last game, not to give the opponent any respite, and to try to lay the foundation for victory in the first half. We don't have much time left to prepare for the semi-finals. ”

It can also be seen from Zhu Guanghu's words that the coaching staff is very confident, playing Turkmenistan, no problem!

The next day, Sun Jihai took turns to rest, Li Weifeng took turns to rest, and Zhang Enhua and Shu Sing started the game. The personnel in other locations remain the same. The reason why Sun Jihai and Li Weifeng were rested in rotation was to prepare for facing Iran again in the semifinals.

In the eyes of Horton and Zhu Guanghu, it was determined that the team would still meet Iran in the semifinals.

In the stands, more and more Chinese athletes are cheering for Chinese football, these guys basically have medals, and the results of Chinese football are not the same. But once the Chinese team beats Turkmenistan, they will have hope of reaching the final.

Zheng Zhi has only one thought, that is, whether Hao Haixi will be sent off with a red card......

It was in this game that when Hao Haixi was substituted, he spat in the direction of the assistant referee, and the defendant was sued, and the AFC sentenced Hao Haixi to a one-year global ban. This is the heaviest fine ever paid by Chinese football for spitting, although Hao Dong has not yet spit out......

Today, won't it? The starting lineup has changed, Yang Chen didn't start that year, but he started today.

Zheng Zhi is also not very clear, for Hao Haixi, who has never had much communication, he really can't figure out his psychological thoughts. What was the reason for Hao Haixi? Everyone thinks that it was some law enforcement by the linesman in the game that made Hao Haixi deliberately make this decision, but Hao Haixi has never admitted it.

The process of the game was still a bit unexpected, Turkmenistan played a defensive counterattack, hoarded heavy troops in the backfield, and the Chinese team frequently crossed the ball through two wings, but Turkmenistan's height was more advantageous, and the side attack had no effect.

Instead, the Chinese team switched to infiltrating in the middle, but Turkmenistan's defense dragged too far back, giving little room for the strikers to sprint and cut forward.

But even so, in the 17th minute, Zheng Zhizhi still created a chance, but Hao Haixi fell into an offside position for the first time.

In the 28th minute, Hao Haixi finally got an opportunity to counter offside, but was blown offside by the linesman, Hao Haixi was very dissatisfied at the time, and his mouth chattered.

Belch!

Zheng Zhi saw it in his eyes, and the ominous premonition was increasing dramatically......

After that, the Chinese team won another good chance to score, Zhao Junzhe crossed from the side, Yang Chen swept the ball into the goal, but it was still ruled offside.

"Offside?"

"I don't see it clearly."

"It's hard to see the replays."

Even Huang Jianxiang in the live broadcast room couldn't judge it, and they could imagine how bad the broadcast conditions of the Asian Games were at that time......

The first half was a 0:0 draw, and the only thing to be thankful for was that the Chinese team's possession rate reached 58%, occupying an absolute advantage.

At half-time, Horton encouraged everyone in the dressing room.

"We're going to continue to be patient,"

"The goals will come."

"Turkmenistan can't stand it for 90 minutes."

……

Yibian fought again, the national football team launched a blitzkrieg, only one minute, Zheng Zhi suddenly sent a long pass in the backfield, Hao Haixi held back most of the momentum and finally succeeded in anti-offside, the left foot was dashing, and the right foot immediately swept the ball to the small penalty area of Turkmenistan, and Li Jinyu's left foot in front of the goal was lightly cushioned, opening the record!

According to the law of changing the way to celebrate every goal scored, he used a swimming move this time.

Eight minutes later, Li Jinyu received a long pass from Zheng Zhi on the left side and returned the favor with a cross from the left side. Hao Haixi reached the ball and flew into the net with his right foot, and then went to the next city.

At 2:0, there seems to be no suspense in the game.

But the plot is similar!

Zheng Zhi's heart felt more and more that something was wrong......

The time finally came to the 79th minute, the fourth official raised the substitution sign, the national football team made a move, Zhang Yuming wanted to play, and it was Hao Haixi who he wanted to replace.

This......

Zheng Zhi's left eyelid jumped.

The accident still happened, although Yang Chen was replaced by Zhang Yuming, but Hao Haixi's behavior was still the same, the angry Hao Haixi spat at the UAE linesman when he left the field, and the South Korean referee immediately interrupted the game to show him a red card, and asked Zhang Yuming, who had been substituted, to leave the field on the grounds that Hao Haixi had not left the field......

"I'm grass!"
