Chapter 121: Post-Match Review Meeting

At half-time, the Chinese team made substitutions to try to change the situation in the second half.

However, after the start of the second half, except for Cheng Hai, who recovered his fitness after rest, the performance of the other Chinese team players was not much better.

Because of factors such as the away game, the weather, and the fierce scrambling of the opponent, the physical consumption of the Chinese players is very fast, and there is no Jordanian player who plays at home at halftime with strong recovery ability.

Therefore, in the confrontation in the second half, the physical and physical disadvantages of the Chinese players were more obvious.

Cheng Hai also continued his bad luck in the first half, with a shot on goal in the 64th minute that avoided both the defender and the goalkeeper, only to hit the crossbar and bounce back to be cleared by the opponent.

Even Jordan broke through the Chinese team's defense through a quick counterattack in the 72nd minute, and Hassan Abbadr Fattah crossed from the side, and Ahmad successfully fought for the top in the middle and put the ball into the Chinese team's goal.

The goal sent the Amman International Stadium to a boil, with countless Jordanian fans roaring and screaming like crazy to celebrate their two-goal lead.

To be honest, the one-goal lead in the first half didn't give everyone much peace of mind.

Everyone knows that when facing Asian teams, Cheng Hai has the strength to score five or six goals in a game.

Unexpectedly, the Jordanian players still defended as desperately in the second half as they did in the first half, and still had the strength to fight back and expand the score to 2-0.

Now, they are two goals ahead and the game is in the 72nd minute.

Even if Mileage helped Huaguo pull a goal back in the following time, they could still get the win.

A two-goal lead and a one-goal lead bring people completely different psychological feelings.

Therefore, whether it was the players on the field, the fans in the stands, the commentators, the reporters, all the Jordanians celebrated like they had won a huge prize.

On the other hand, on the side of the Huaguo team, one by one they were like mourners, and Cheng Hai looked up at the sky, looking depressed and helpless.

Although this game is an away game, it is objectively difficult, and the Jordanians are also very hard, which surprised Cheng Hai, but he was so unlucky that he failed to score with seven or eight shots in one game, and it was also the first time he encountered it in his career.

Coupled with the mentality of him and his teammates before the game, they were a little arrogant and underestimated before the game, and the on-field condition was very poor, and various reasons led to such a result.

Cheng Hai has a hunch, I'm afraid I'm going to lose today.

His hunch was right.

Although the Chinese team attracted the siege of five Jordanian players with the ball by Cheng Hai in the 86th minute, the ball passed to the gap in the big penalty area, because Hai received the ball and scored a low shot through the Jordanian goal, making the score 1-2.

But it was too late, and the goal did not help the defeat of the Chinese team.

After 3 minutes of stoppage time, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, and the Jordan team ended the 18-year history of "no win" by virtue of home advantage and the desperate scrambling of the players, and successfully defeated the Huaguo team led by Cheng Hai, the first star of Asia, and won the second round of the group stage.

The Jordan team broke out a world-class upset, with the strength of the 92nd in the world and the 10th in Asia, defeated the Chinese team led by the new Asian Cup champion and super scorer Cheng Hai.

This is a super upset, and I don't know how many gamblers who bet on the ball are going bankrupt!

It can be expected that gamblers who have lost money in the betting circle will definitely not be less vocal about Cheng Hai and the Huaguo team playing match-fixing.

But none of this is about the Jordanian team.

They need to celebrate.

The entire Amman International Stadium was engulfed in a frenzied celebration.

Especially those Jordanian players, at this point they are simply a little congested in the head.

With this victory, some of them may even receive hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash prizes.

In an Asian-level world preliminaries, a player can get hundreds of thousands of dollars in bonuses, which is definitely a super heavy prize.

The Chinese team, including Cheng Hai, left the stadium in a gloomy manner amid the encouraging applause of two or three thousand overseas Chinese fans.

Jordan occupies the top spot in Group A with two consecutive wins, while China and Iraq are tied on three points, while China is only in second place on goal difference, and Singapore, who have lost two in a row, are at the bottom of the group.

After the game, the news of the unexpected loss of the Chinese team and Cheng Hai's failure to score a goal quickly occupied the front pages of the world's major media.

After Cheng Hai defeated Messi to win the UEFA Super Cup and set a new annual total goal record, the world's media has been chasing Cheng Hai's news without stopping.

Even for an Asian-level World Preliminary Tournament, there are more than 100 media reporters who collect and edit reports on the spot.

As a result, in the pre-game contest where everyone thought that the strength was surprising and obvious, the Huaguo team led by Cheng Hai lost, losing 1-2 to the Jordan team away, breaking out a super upset.

Cheng Hai also failed to score a goal in the game, the first time this has happened in recent months.

Since the first leg of the Europa League 1/8 finals on March 9 in the first half of the year, Dortmund faced Benfica Cheng Hai away and did not score a goal, since then it has been nearly 6 months, including clubs, national teams, national Olympic teams, official matches, friendly matches, etc., in 29 games, large and small, Cheng Hai has scored goals in every game.

At least one goal, at most six, there is no time not to score anyway.

It can be said that now everyone is used to Cheng Hai scoring goals in every game, but it is the news that Cheng Hai does not score in the game.

Everyone thought that Cheng Hai's continuous goal scoring pace might be stopped one day, but everyone thought that the team that stopped Cheng Hai's continuous goal scoring pace must be from a super giant in the Champions League, and ordinary teams can't do it.

Unexpectedly, let alone the Champions League, not even a European team, a third-rate Jordanian team in Asia, stopped Cheng Hai's continuous goal streak.

Therefore, the news that Cheng Hai was completely frozen by the Jordanian team and did not score a goal became the front page headlines of media around the world.

In addition to Cheng Hai's bad luck and the overall state of the Chinese team, why the players of the Jordanian team are so desperate has also become the object of media exploration.

When a Jordanian player revealed to reporters in an interview that they had won hundreds of thousands of dollars in net bonuses in this game, and the whole team had received a total of nearly $10 million in bonuses, many people were stunned.

This is neither a final involving the championship, nor a key battle involving the right to qualify for the World Cup, the second round of a top 20 group stage, far from reaching the level of desperateness, the Jordanian Football Association has offered such a high bonus, refreshing many people's three views.

Of course, everyone also understands why the Jordanian players in the game as a whole worked so hard, not only to freeze Cheng Hai, but also to have the spare strength to fight back and score goals.

However, for the Chinese team itself, whether it is an unfavorable away venue, bad weather, bad luck, or the opponent is stimulated by a high bonus, it is not an excuse for them to lose.

The Huaguo team, which has Cheng Hai, a world-class goalscorer, definitely shouldn't lose to Jordan.

Even if you can't get a big win like you did in the last game against Singapore, you shouldn't lose if you win a few goals by a few goals.

Therefore, after returning to the hotel after the game, the team conducted an internal review meeting, and everyone began to analyze the reasons for the defeat in this game, as well as conduct thorough self-analysis and criticism.

In fact, the reasons are easy to summarize.

Not to mention the disadvantages of the away game, one of the biggest reasons for losing on this side is actually the carelessness of the enemy.

As the champion of the new Asian Cup, after defeating Singapore 10-1 in the last World Preliminary Round, everyone in the team, including team leaders, coaches, team doctors, and players, did not pay attention to this game at all, thinking that it would be an easy victory.

Everyone even came to play this World Cup qualifier with the mentality of traveling to the Middle East.

Including Cheng Hai, when he saw those fans wearing the Dortmund No. 9 shirt with his name on it, or his portrait printed on the clothes, he was also a little complacent in his heart, and he didn't pay attention to the game at all.

In the continuous goals and record-breaking, as well as the praise of the world media and fans, coupled with the confidence given by more than 20 systems with perfect skills, Cheng Hai, who is not yet 20 years old, has completely floated, and he does not take Jordan, an Asian opponent, in his eyes at all.

As a result, the Jordanians taught him such a vivid lesson: there is absolutely no such thing as a victory in professional football.

This reminded Cheng Hai of a warm-up match between the Chinese team and the world champion France before the World Cup in South Africa.

At that time, Cheng Hai had not joined the national football team, and the Chinese team led by Gao Hongbo had not won the Asian Cup, and they were all second-rate teams in Asia, not to mention the world champion, the favorite to win the championship, and the France led by world superstars Henry, Ribery, Anelka and others.

Today's Chinese team only has Cheng Hai, a world-class superstar, and the French team at that time had a bunch of world superstars such as Henry, Ribery, Anelka, and the main players of major European giants.

It can be said that the gap between the Chinese team and the French team at that time looked bigger and more obvious than the gap between the Jordanian team and the Chinese team today.

Before the game, no one believed that the Chinese team could win, and the Chinese team did not give the players huge bonuses like the Jordan team did today.

As a result, the Chinese team defeated France 1-0 in that international A' competition, proving that there is indeed no deserved victory on the football field.

No matter how strong the team is, it is possible to be upset by the fish belly team.

The last time was when the Chinese team beat France, and today, it can be said that the world is in the news, and the Chinese team itself was defeated by Jordan, the fish belly in their eyes.

Cheng Hai made an in-depth analysis of himself at the review meeting, realized his mistakes, and led the whole team to realize their mistakes of underestimating the enemy.

The Chinese team has only scored once in the World Cup, and has not scored a goal, scored a point, and is out of the tournament with nine eggs, so what qualifications do they have to despise other teams?

After everyone made a profound self-criticism and review, everyone unanimously vowed to go all out in every game in the future, strive to break out of Asia, enter the World Cup in Brazil, and make a historic breakthrough for Chinese football in the World Cup in Brazil.
