With the end of the Chinese team's game, the competitions of other countries have also ended one after another, and the list of the top ten matches of the World Cup qualifiers has appeared, including the strong Japan and South Korea, and there are no accidents, Australia from Australia is also in this list, in addition to these three countries, there are many old countries with strong football strength!

For example, the United Arab Emirates and Iran in West Asia, as for many other teams, they entered by relying on the second place in the group, including the Chinese team and North Korea, naturally there are many teams who are not optimistic about China!

If you have the strength, you will already win the first place in the group, how can you risk staying in the second place in the group, of course, Uzbekistan will never think so, they have a clearer understanding of the horror of the Chinese team, of course, this understanding of Uzbekistan will not be said to the outside, if other countries are lost to the Chinese team, it is actually a very good thing for Uzbekistan!

Of course, it is impossible for other countries not to pay attention to it at all, after all, there is still a certain level to break into the top 10, and it is definitely not possible to take it too lightly.

The draw for the top 10 was held in Singapore a week later, where the draw was still taking place as the AFC's headquarters were in Kuala Lumpur, Singapore.

The players usually only focus on the game, they still don't care much about the draw, the rest of the opponents are so strong, just take it seriously.

Compared with the players, the fans are still relatively nervous, they are looking forward to putting those weak teams in one group, but the fate of the Chinese team has never been so good, that is, the Chinese team is divided into the AB group, and the Chinese team is also in a group of death!

When the results of the draw came out, everyone was dumbfounded, in addition to Japan and South Korea, the Chinese team in a group also included Iran, you must know that these three countries are the top three in Asia, although Australia joined Asia from Australia, but his strength can only rank fourth!

There are five teams in a group, and the first, second and third teams in Asia are all here, this is definitely the group of death, or the group of death that can no longer die!

You must know that there are two promotion places, and the top three teams in Asia are all there, which is definitely bad news, but these players of the Chinese team are somewhat prepared, and they have long guessed that there will be a bad result, after all, every time it comes to the draw, the Chinese team has not had good luck.

In fact, the Chinese team is not unable to beat them, with Liu Yu's Chinese team can now at least compete with Japan and South Korea, as for Iran, it is completely possible to use defensive counterattack tactics, Iran is a team that is good at defense, their biggest shortcoming is that the offense is not good at all, and the Chinese team can fully grasp this shortcoming, but also strengthen their own defense, if the score can be tied in the end is a good result.

And the top 10 matches are still the same as before, they are all home and away two-legged system, the same opponent has to play one at home and one away from home, and there are only the last eight games left from the finals of the World Cup, each of the eight games is a key, and each game cannot be taken lightly!

Of course, in addition to the Chinese team, there is also a Thai team in this group, in fact, the strength of the Thai team is not very weak, the Thai team is definitely a relatively strong team, and the game with China two years ago also kicked China 5:1, at least in the eyes of others, now Thailand can call the Chinese team!

Now that the top 10 has come out, the odds of the online lottery have also been announced, in Liu Yu's group, the lowest odds deserve to be Iran, as the first in Asia, they use a steady defense to make everyone helpless, at least in Asia no one can score their goals, if they are completely guarded, it is estimated that no one can score in the Asian division of the entire World Cup qualifiers.

The Chinese team will face the first opponent of the top 10 in half a month, South Korea, in fact, South Korea is also a country with very clear tactics, South Korea generally only uses side crosses, but compared to China, the strength of their wing players is very strong, many players are in Europe, and they are also playing in major leagues in Europe, which is beyond the reach of Chinese players.

Although some Chinese players are also in Europe, they only play in some third and second divisions, that is, some local amateur leagues, and the quality of crosses in the game can be seen that South Korean players can find their teammates accurately, but Chinese players need to pass five or six feet to have a better pass.

However, the South Korean team is not inexplicable, their defense is considered poor among these teams, and many times when playing against China, they can be scored several goals by Chinese teams.

The first game is at the home of the Chinese team, compared to the previous game, this time there are more spectators, in fact, this is a very normal phenomenon, the closer to the World Cup, the more spectators will watch, I believe that if the Chinese team can enter the World Cup, a large part of the tickets for the Brazilian World Cup will be purchased by Chinese fans.

The first match against South Korea was set in Changzhou, which is also a picturesque city, where the temperature is just right, and it must be very comfortable to compare.

April 5, 2013

It's not a memorable day, but it's a very important day, because the national football match is going to be held today.

For a while, the overwhelming news was reporting on the Chinese team, and the central one, the central two, and the central five even had to broadcast the game live at the same time, so it can be said that all the media in the whole country attach great importance to it, perhaps because the Chinese team has been so close to the World Cup for many years.

In fact, not only the media, but also the common people attach great importance to this game, and you can hear people discussing it almost on the street.

"Do you think the Chinese team can win today?"

"I feel that I am choking enough, and every time it is critical, the Chinese team drops the chain."

"What if I lose, the national football team has abused me thousands of times, but I treat the national football team like my first love."

"That's right, even if the Chinese team loses, besides, the strength of the Chinese team this year is not weak, I believe the Chinese team will create a miracle!"

in Changzhou

"Alas, did you buy a ticket?"

"Isn't this nonsense, why did I come to Changzhou without buying a ticket?"

"Do you have any extra tickets, I'll buy one for 3,000 yuan."

"No~"

"Then you give me your ticket, I'll buy it for 4,000 yuan!"

The person known as Lao Yu hugged the ticket tightly in his arms in an instant, "This is not good, it cost me half a month's salary to buy this ticket, even if it is expensive, I will not sell it." ”

All of them have the same idea as Lao Yu, those who can buy tickets will never go to the takeout, who will miss such a rare opportunity, unless there is a real emergency, except for no one who will give up.

And there are still people asking for tickets, which means that there are no more tickets, there is no doubt that the whole scene is hard to get, how to say that it is difficult to get a ticket, because even some corners on the edge of the stands are already full, you know these corners are very close to the away fan zone, but the Chinese fans don't care, as long as it's the location.

Of course, the away fan area is not all Korean fans, there are many Chinese fans mixed into the South Korean fan area, and even mixed with a ticket, and this is not one or two people, at least a group of people, so that the away fans who come to the scene to see are really few and pitiful, not even 100 people, such a cheering group can hardly play any power in the shouts of Chinese fans, let alone cheer for their own players, and even communicate with each other is difficult!

The race went on as scheduled, the weather was excellent without any delays!

The starting lineups of both sides have shot relatively strong players, and the Chinese team naturally wants to send Liu Yushang, and the other side also sent players like Sun Xinghan who play in the European league.

After the opening, the South Korean team quickly showed the idea of patient ball control and overall forward pressure, and the Chinese team retreated to half the court in defense. In the 4th minute, Zhang Linpeng was judged to have committed a foul when he forced Gu Zizhe, and the South Korean team's free kick was hung in the Chinese team's penalty area to create chaos, and Zeng Cheng knocked the ball out of the bottom line. South Korea formed a series of attacks, and Son Heung-han shot wide of the far corner from the left, creating a certain threat. The Chinese team made mistakes one after another when defending and attacking, but it reflected the idea of fast forward passing, from the whole start, the Chinese team played very thoughtfully, knowing that their offensive aspect was not very strong, so they subconsciously increased their defense!

Although the South Korean team's attack is strong, it does not pose much threat to the Chinese team's defense.

In the 9th minute, Liu Yu of the Chinese team got rid of the pinch with a wonderful chest stop action, he won a corner kick to form the first offensive of the Chinese team, this corner kick still let Liu Yu send, but the opponent's goalkeeper was prepared, but did not choose to attack, the Chinese player did top it, but did not top the right part, the ball flew out of the crossbar, the ball was returned to the opponent, goal kick.

In the 11th minute, Zheng Zhi quickly grabbed and destroyed Kim Ki-hee's possession, Kim Ki-hee kicked down Zheng Zhi with a large swing of his legs, and his thigh hit Zheng Zhi's head, and the referee decisively gave Kim Ki-hee a yellow card.

In the first quarter of an hour of the game, the defense-oriented Chinese team had only 23% possession, and the South Korean team had 77% possession, but it was mainly in the middle and back of the field.

With Son Heung-han's two personal impacts, the South Korean team continued to play left-sided attacks. In the 16th minute, the winger of the South Korean team was put down by Zhang Linpeng, who was chasing when he stepped forward on the left side, and the South Korean team won a free kick in the corner of the penalty area, and Zhang Linpeng received a yellow card; In front of Son Heunghan's quick diagonal pass, the South Korean team's striker shook his head to attack the goal, and the ball hit Zheng Zhi and crashed into the Chinese team's goal.

Zheng Zhi also wanted to dodge this ball, but the speed of the ball was too fast, she didn't have time to react at all, she was hit in the leg by the ball, and then it was an oolong, there is no way, after all, this kind of accident will still exist!

The Chinese team, which lost a goal, did not choose to continue to defend, the first half was just a test, and now it is starting to prepare for the attack!

However, the Chinese team has thought about a lot of things, the most important thing is the momentum of the South Korean team, because the South Korean team opened the situation relatively smoothly, as the mentality relaxed their threat continued to increase, their winger was blocked by the Chinese team's defender when he broke through on the right side, and the Chinese team's defender also received a yellow card.

Not only did the Chinese team fall behind in the score, but both full-backs had received yellow cards, so that the two full-backs did not dare to foul maliciously, which gave the opposing players a great opportunity to take advantage of, and the South Korean team continued to create a threat through wide attacks and free-kick attacks.

In the 19th minute, the Chinese team missed a good opportunity to score: the Chinese team formed a rapid pass after the ball was broken in the backfield, Liu Yu made a direct pass on the right side to help Zhang Xizhe step forward, Zhang Xizhe burst into the penalty area and was instantly blocked by the Korean player who quickly chased back, the ball was off the bottom line, and the goal was only a little bit away from the goal, so it can be said that it can be scored by a little bit to the side.

The impact of the Chinese team's corner kick did not have an effect, but the mistake almost gave Sun Xinghan a chance to rush forward, but fortunately, Feng Xiaoting accurately chose the position to intercept.

In the 22nd minute, the Chinese team formed an effective offensive through a free kick won by Ren Hang, and Zhang Xizhe's goal from a small angle on the right side of the penalty area was deflected into the side netting. 1 minute later, Zhang Linpeng's diagonal pass on the right side led to an offensive, Liu Yu's flying volley in the penalty area was very exciting, the players of the South Korean team were really strong, and the opponent's defender also reacted very quickly, and the ball was blocked by the defender out of the bottom line.

In the 26th minute, the Chinese team missed a good opportunity to score again: Liu Yu relied on his perverted speed and ability to change direction, actively pressing in the front court to cause the mistakes of the opponent's defenders, before the other defenders surrounded, Liu Yu distributed the ball to the side, on the side was China's captain Zheng Zhi, he passed directly to the left side of the penalty area, Liu Yu hit the goal, in fact, it is the most difficult to attack the goal in football, because you can't grasp the time at all.

Around 30 minutes, the impact of the South Korean team was strengthened again, and Son Xinghan consciously tried to kill Zhang Linpeng, who had a yellow card, and he was also putting pressure on the referee, but the referee obviously had his own opinion and did not show Zhang Linpeng a second yellow card.

In the first 30 minutes, the Chinese team fell behind 0-1, the number of shots between the two sides was tied at 5-5, and the Chinese team formed an advantage in corner kicks of 3-1 and free kicks of 10-8.

In the second half of the first half, the Chinese team made personnel adjustments and replaced Zhang Xizhe with Hao Junmin. In the 33rd minute, Hao Junmin's free kick from the right side was accurately passed to the back of the penalty area, and Zhang Linpeng's header hit the top of the goal.

In the 36th minute, the opponent's defender Wu Jae-seok violated Liu Yu behind when intercepting the Chinese team's fast attack and received a yellow card. After that, the Chinese team won the opportunity by actively scrambling in the throw-in offensive, and Liu Yu once again tried to fly in the penalty area to attack the goal, but the difficulty of this kind of ball is not ordinarily high, not every time it can be played well, this time it is slightly higher.

In general, the Chinese team played very well today, at least in the head-to-head confrontation with the South Korean team, of course, this also has the factor of the home field, because when the Chinese players attack, it is the sound of shouting, and when the Korean players attack, it becomes a flood of boos!
