In fact, the reason why the Chinese team was able to firmly control the situation on the field, in addition to the strong dispatch of Zheng Zhi, whose strength has been "bonus", is that the work content is "relatively simple".

Due to the existence of Feng Quan, the "great god", the midfield trio led by Zheng Zhi only need to pass the ball to Feng Quan's feet as much as possible. Even after the opponent strengthens his defense against Feng Quan, Feng Quan can always find a gap to catch the ball with the advantage of speed and flexibility.

Taking a step back, even when Feng Quan is surrounded by opponents, Zheng Zhi and others can take advantage of the Australian team's defensive gaps to pass the ball to teammates who are unmarked.

In the case that Feng Quan alone attracts the attention of at least two or three people of the other party, the Chinese team can still use a lot of space, after all, there are eleven people on both sides on the field, and if too many troops are invested in one person, there will inevitably be negligence when defending others.

If Australia's offense is enough to suppress China's defense, then it may make the Chinese team hesitate to attack, but with Zhang Linpeng and Feng Xiaoting's defensive ability greatly increased, the opponent's impact attack is really difficult to form a limited threat. In this way, as long as the Chinese team does not die, the Australian team has almost no chance of winning.

In fact, if it weren't for Matthew Ryan's super-level play, Feng Quan, Gao Lin and Wu Lei's counterattack would have helped the Chinese team lock up the victory in advance.

However, no matter how strong the defense is, it can't be leaky, not to mention that the Australian team's defensive ability is not the top even in Asian football, so under the repeated impact of the Chinese team, the city gate was finally lost in the 26th minute of the first half of the game.

At that time, Feng Quan broke through to the corner of the penalty area along the left side with the ball and did not cross directly into the penalty area, but made a wall-hitting cooperation with Zheng Zhi who received in the middle, and then hit the top of the arc of the penalty area and made a long-range shot.

As Feng Quan's long-range shooting skills are world-famous, two defenders pounced from the front and right front.

At the beginning, Feng Quan was ready to choose to shoot the ball to the left side of the unblocked goal, but when he saw out of the corner of his eye that Wu Lei, who was originally ambushed near the penalty spot, had quietly moved to the empty space on the left side of the penalty area, he first faked a shot with his right foot and shook the two opponents to lose their center of gravity, and then used the outside of his left foot to dial the ball to the unmarked Wu Lei.

Although goalkeeper Matthew Ryan abandoned the goal at the moment of the full pass in order to expand his defensive area, Wu Lei, who received a 10% bonus to the [technique] and [shooting accuracy] attributes, stopped the ball in his most comfortable position at the first time, and then did not wait for Matthew Ryan to rush out of the small penalty area, and then hit the goal with his right foot with a curling ball.

Despite Matthew Ryan's excellent form today, his hasty saves were in vain. Before Matthew Ryan could fully stretch his body, Wu Lei's football had already flown into the upper right corner of the goal after drawing a wonderful arc.

When the football crashed into the net and fell into the goal, the Australian fans, who were originally anxious because the home team had been in a passive state, suddenly let out a sigh.

The Chinese fans, who were already very excited, jumped up from their seats one after another, shouting and screaming as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.

With just over 60 minutes to go, just one goal was far from sealing. However, as long as the Chinese team can maintain its existing field advantage, it will have at least a 70% chance of winning.

Therefore, Chinese fans are not worried that their unemotional celebration will be slapped in the face by the final result of the game, after all, with the Chinese team's past record, even if it is only temporarily ahead of the "strong" Australian team, it can already make the undemanding fans happy. What's more, Wu Lei's goal did not have an element of luck, but the result of the Chinese team firmly controlling the situation on the field.

And with the passage of time in the game, the situation on the field is also developing in the direction of becoming more and more favorable to the Chinese team.

Conceding the first goal forced Australia to put more effort into attack, but with Zhang Linpeng and Feng Xiaoting "hanging up", their impact style of play was not able to create much real threat.

Although Australia had six shots in the final 20 minutes of the first half, they had only one shot in the box, and Cahill fired an anti-aircraft gun under pressure from the Chinese players.

Conversely, Australia's long-range shots from outside the box forced Chinese goalkeeper Wang Dalei to make a save. As a result, the coach of the Chinese team, Lippi, decisively chose to let Zhao Xu and Wu Xi retreat to further enhance the defensive thickness at the edge of the penalty area.

At the same time, Gao Lin, who was originally in the center forward position, was pulled back to a position similar to the forward midfielder by Lippi to help Zheng Zhi sort out the Chinese team's attack, and the center forward position he left behind was replaced by Wu Lei. As for Feng Quan, Lippi just told him: "You can play as much as you want, as long as the team can find you when they launch a counter-attack......

On the surface, the retreat of Zhao Xu and Wu Xi seems to reduce the control of the Chinese midfield, but in fact, after a series of adjustments by Lippi, the Chinese team's threat in attack has been further enhanced.

After receiving Lippi's instruction to "kick as much as you like", Feng Quan was no longer limited to wandering around the two wings, and gradually increased his breakthrough and response in the middle.

Although the defensive pressure in the middle is stronger than that on the wings, it can play a greater threat to Fengquan, who is proficient in speed, dribbling, shooting, and passing.

In the 36th minute of the first half, Zhao Xu made a steal at the edge of the penalty area and sent a long pass directly to the front.

Cruising in the frontcourt, Feng Quan first overwhelmed the opposing defender with his superior bounce power, and headed the ball to Gao Lin, who received it near the center circle, and then easily escaped a defender and entered the 30-meter area of Australia after receiving a through ball sent by Gao Lin.

In the face of the interception of two defenders, Feng Quan first pretended to change direction and break through, but when the opponent changed his center of gravity, he suddenly sent a pick pass to the empty space on the right side of the penalty area.

The next moment, Wu Lei, who has "world-class running ability", appeared near the football landing point just right, and stopped the ball in a very suitable position before the Australian defenders who came over to make up for it.

However, just as Wu Lei picked up his right foot and was about to hit the goal, the Australian defender who had made up for the past knocked him directly into the penalty area.

Although the foul action of the Australian defender was very obvious, the UAE referee Hassan, who officiated the game, actually made a gesture to continue the game very calmly.

Since the referee did not stop the game, although the players of the Chinese team were very dissatisfied with the penalty, no one stepped forward to argue with the referee, after all, long before the start of the game, the coaching staff had foreseen that the referee would definitely make a decision in favor of the host in the game.

However, the referee's decision indirectly angered Feng Quan......
