Perhaps it was the senior against CSKA Moscow who used up Dai Zhiwei's recent goal luck, which led to him shooting eight goals at home against Real Betis in the 11th round of La Liga, but nothing was achieved.

Fortunately, goals from Trigueros and Roberto Soriano allowed Villarreal to beat Real Betis 2-0 and not fall behind in the race for the top four in the league.

After the victory over Real Betis, Dai Zhiwei once again turned into a trapeze artist, transferred to Madrid to rush back to Beijing, and then flew to Kunming, a journey of more than 20 hours, just to prepare for the fifth round of the Asian Top 12 of the World Preliminaries.

On November 15, the fifth round of the 2018 Russia World Cup Asian qualifiers is about to start, and the focus battle between China and Qatar is about to be staged.

In the Chinese team, Zhang Chengdong and Fu Huan were abandoned, and Cao Yunding was selected. The reason why Zhang Chengdong was not selected was because he accidentally strained his calf muscles in the game, and the diagnosis of the team doctor speculated that it was difficult for him to recover before the game, and the reason why Fu Huan was abandoned may be that the coach took Pei Lan into account his lack of experience and seniority.

In addition, Mei Fang, who was injured in training a few days ago, is still selected, while Cao Yunding has recovered from the injury.

This game is very crucial for both the Chinese team and Qatar, because if either side loses in this game, it will basically declare the failure of the 2018 World Cup.

For the Chinese team, winning this game is not only to retain the hope of qualifying, but also to get out of the trough and regain confidence in a key game, this game is related to the subsequent development of the Chinese team, if it can win the game, it will greatly increase the confidence of the Chinese team.

For Qatar, this game is equally important, you know, Qatar only scored 3 points in the previous 4 rounds, and was at the bottom of the group, they are already on the verge of being eliminated early, and the situation is even more severe than the Chinese team!

Moreover, Qatar is going to host the World Cup in 2022, and if the 2018 World Cup cannot be participated, then it is very unacceptable for the Qatar Football Association, so Qatar is also eager to get 3 points.

All in all, this battle can be called a battle of life and death for both teams.

This time, the Chinese team's home stadium was chosen at Kunming Tuodong Stadium, where the climate was quite pleasant in mid-November, and the scenery was also very beautiful, and Dai Zhiwei felt very comfortable after getting off the plane.

In this game, compared with the previous round against Uzbekistan, the starting lineup of the Chinese team made an eight-person rotation, and only Dai Zhiwei, Feng Xiaoting and Wu Lei were retained.

This is also a point that Dai Zhiwei is very dissatisfied with Peilan or the Football Association, that is, the team's main lineup is often adjusted.

Of course, there are objective reasons such as player injuries, but the team has not been able to form its own regular style of play and style, which is the main reason.

As the head coach of the Chinese team, Perran is more reliable than the likes of Camacho before, but his strength is that of second- and third-rate coaches, and the lower limit of leading the team will not be too low, but the upper limit will not be too high.

However, Dai Zhiwei also heard from Zheng Zhi, Feng Xiaoting and other former teammates of Evergrande that the Football Association has been in contact with Lippi and is preparing to change the head coach.

"Is it still historical inertia?" Dai Zhiwei remembered his first reaction when he first heard the news, "With me here, Lippi shouldn't be late again this time, right?" ”

In the match against China, the Qatar team only made two minor adjustments, with Moussa and Boudiaf starting in place of Yasser and Akram Afif.

Dai Zhiwei is no stranger to Qatar, the previous stage of the World Preliminary Championships Asian competition, the Chinese team and Qatar in a group, he has also lived up to expectations to break through Qatar's goal, this time he naturally hopes to be able to "swipe" again.

However, in the 5th minute of the game, it was Qatar that took the lead, Haydos crossed a corner kick from the right side, Correa headed the ball in front of the goal, and Sebastian's heel shot with his back to the goal on the small penalty area line was off the left post, shocking the fans at Kunming Tuodong Stadium in a cold sweat!

If it was the former Chinese team, there would definitely be many fans at the scene who showed a disappointed look, but now it is different, because they have Dai Zhiwei!

Seven minutes later, Dai Zhiwei was tripped with the ball nearly 40 meters on the right side, and then his long-distance free kick hit the goal, Qatari goalkeeper Shib did not catch the ball, but the football smashed into his shoulder and bounced off the bottom line, and the Chinese team completed the first shot on goal.

However, if you notice the gaze of Xibu looking at Dai Zhiwei, you can see his fear of the power of Dai Zhiwei's shot!

In the 13th minute, Dai Zhiwei tried a left-footed volley on the left side of the penalty area again, but unfortunately this time it flew away.

After the opening trial, the Chinese team completely dominated the offensive, and Qatar did not enter the game for a long time.

And Dai Zhiwei has stimulated most of his state after the adjustment in the early stage of the game.

Although it is still not 100% of his form, it is enough to face Qatar.

After the game entered 20 minutes, the Chinese team, under the leadership of Dai Zhiwei, gradually began to press hard, and bombarded the Qatar team's goal round after round.

In the face of the attacking combination of the Chinese team led by Dai Zhiwei, the Qatar team's backline struggled to support it, and finally drove the ball out of their own half again.

At this time, the game was only about 30 minutes into play, and the Qatari backline was already gasping for air.

This is the huge pressure that Dai Zhiwei brings to them!

They have realized that if they continue like this, their own doors will be broken through by their opponents sooner or later.

Peilan, who was on the sidelines, looked at Dai Zhiwei, who was active on the field, and thought to himself: "I didn't expect Dai Zhiwei to grow a lot compared to last month, maybe he is the kind of player who was born for football." ”

This season, when Dai Zhiwei was in Villarreal, he only needed to attack the city for the team, and his role was relatively simple, that is, to score!

But when it comes to the Chinese team, because of the limitations of his teammates and the strength of the team, he needs to do more work, from a simple scorer to a real "No. 10 player", responsible for scoring goals and shouldering the burden of frontcourt organization.

This is the ability to work hard!

The Qatari players hurriedly sent a boundary kick, trying to get a rare opportunity to sneak up on the opponent - in this game, under the suppression of Dai Zhiwei, Qatar had few opportunities to attack.

The soccer ball fell in the air, but finally stopped at the feet of the Chinese players.

Qatari defender Assadalah saw that the football was grabbed by Zheng Zhi, and immediately grinned and rushed towards the opponent.

You must know that the 36-year-old Zheng Zhi has just recovered from a long-term injury, and the players who have returned from injury are generally very afraid of this kind of tackle that may lead to their own injury.

But, who is Zheng Zhi?

It is no exaggeration to say that he is the most determined player in the Chinese team in the past decade, not even one of them.

Zheng Zhi quickly returned to the defense to break the ball, and as soon as he looked up, he saw Assadala in front of him rushing towards him like a mad dog with his tongue flicking his tongue and letting his saliva run freely in the air.

This scene is really disgusting.

Zheng Zhi hurriedly pushed the ball forward, only to leave Assadala behind with just one acceleration.

Zheng Zhi enjoys this kind of speed and hurricane, after all, with his current age and physical fitness, the opportunity to break through on the court with the ball is already one less time.

Seeing that the old captain rarely broke through with the ball, Dai Zhiwei rushed into the Qatar team's penalty area at a faster speed, observed Zheng Zhi's movements, and rushed to the front of the goal.

Zheng Zhi quickly rushed to the bottom line, and Dai Zhiwei immediately started to pounce on the front post.

However, it is a pity for the fans of Kunming Tuodong Stadium that Zheng Zhi is not a good dribbling player like Dai Zhiwei after all, his speed and breakthrough ability are very average, and he was easily prevented by Qatar defender Cazorla on the side, and he could not continue to break through at all.

After Zheng Zhi tried to get rid of Cazorla several times without success, he had to force a cross, but the effect of the pass was not ideal.

"Shhh

Dai Zhiwei watched the football fly to his side and back, and it happened to be in the waist and abdomen position.

This is the most difficult height for a striker to deal with, how to play how awkward.

"Do you want to pass the ball?" Dai Zhiwei glanced at the situation in the forbidden area, a little helpless, "Damn, what kind of position did you choose?" Coming to see the play? ”

This is the current dependence of the Chinese team on Dai Zhiwei, many times, they just complete the task of passing the ball to Dai Zhiwei in the attack, and then just watch him play individually.

This is a bit like the Lakers at the peak of the NBA Kobe Bryant, Kobe Bryant single-handedly attacked, and the other four watched the show.

As Dai Zhiwei's national team striker partner, although Wu Lei is good at running, and the enthusiasm of the teenager Zhang Yuning is enough, but in view of the fact that the two are not good at shooting, the help of the two to Dai Zhiwei is really quite limited.

"Hey, I'll have to do it myself!" Gritting his teeth, Dai Zhiwei and Qatari central defender Hokshi, who was marking him, scrambled together.

Just when Hokshi was about to destroy the ball, Dai Zhiwei suddenly poked his toes down, his heel went around the front of the football, and with a slight knock on his heel, the football immediately changed its trajectory and flew towards the goal.

Shoot with a backheel!

Everyone was stunned, and the fans and reporters sitting on the sidelines watched in amazement as the ball flew into the top corner of the near post.

Although the speed of this goal is not fast, but that damn angle makes the hearts of all Qatar fans rise to their throats!

Will Hib be able to pounce this time?

Obviously, no!

1:0！

"The ball is in! Pretty! He Wei of Huaxia TV's sports channel shouted, completely forgetting the neutral stance that the TV station had always demanded.

But this goal, even neutral fans, have to marvel at the ingenuity of Dai Zhiwei's mind.

This ball is art!

Major TV stations are also constantly repeating Dai Zhiwei's goal in slow motion-

After Zheng Zhi passed the ball, Dai Zhiwei faced the football in mid-air, leaned on Hawkes behind him, leaned back on the upper half, raised his right foot, and the whole person was almost in a "D" shape, and then his right leg bent, and the football flew in the middle of the heel of his right foot.

"Bang!" The football hit Dai Zhiwei's heel, changed direction, and went straight to the top corner of the goal, and the background wall was the safe and dumbfounded Qatari goalkeeper Shib.

Dai Zhiwei's back-knock goal opened the scoring for the Chinese team!

He once again proved to the world that he is the best candidate for the Chinese team to attack the city!

It may also be the only reliable candidate in recent years!

After Dai Zhiwei broke the deadlock on the field, Perrin changed his tactics in front of the fans at Kunming Tuodong Stadium and signaled the team to recycle the defense across the board.

Dai Zhiwei also thought that Perrin was worried that the team would be beaten by Qatar after the goal, and conceded the ball at the end of the first half, temporarily defending comprehensively.

But at halftime, he was completely stunned when he heard Perrin actually ask the players on the field to start swinging the bus obscenely.

Admittedly, the current Chinese team has a one-goal lead, and there seems to be no problem in playing defensive counterattacks.

If it is an away game, if the opponent is a first-class Asian team such as Australia or South Korea, then Dai Zhiwei has no opinion.

But this is the home of the Chinese team, and the opponent is only the third-rate Qatar team in Asia!

The second half of the battle between China and Qatar was a rather ugly 45-minute game, and the Qatari attack was completely mushy in the face of the Chinese team's obscene bus tactics, and the combined number of shots on goal from both sides in the second half was only 6, and no goal was scored.

Although Dai Zhiwei was very dissatisfied with the score of 1:0, the important thing was that the Chinese team scored all 3 points.

After this battle, the Chinese team has scored 8 points, second only to the Iranian team in the standings, ranking second in the group, and the initiative to qualify has once again returned to their own hands.

Early in the morning of the second day of the "card swiping" battle, Dai Zhiwei hurriedly took a plane from Beijing to Madrid before he had time to eat breakfast, and then returned to Villarreal by car.

"I've been on a plane and connecting for almost 50 hours a week, right? I'm about to throw up! ”

As a result, Escriva did not let him travel with the team to the city of Bilbao, missing the 12th round of La Liga where Villarreal played Athletic Bilbao away.

"Dog-day-of-La Liga Football Association!" Escriva watched the team lose 0:1 away to Athletic Bilbao, and was angry and scolded his mother!

Because after the match with Athletic Bilbao, in 45 hours, it will be Villarreal's Champions League group stage match against Tottenham.

Villarreal FC has applied to the La Liga Football Federation and Athletic Bilbao to postpone the 12th round of La Liga matches with Athletic Bilbao, after all, there have been precedents of this before Real Madrid and Barcelona.

However, in the end, Athletic Bilbao had no opinion, but the La Liga Football Association rejected Villarreal's application on the grounds of schedule.

Therefore, many international players who have just returned from the World Preliminaries, including Dai Zhiwei and Dos Santos, have not entered the 18-man squad for the 12th round of La Liga, and they stayed in Villarreal City to prepare for the Champions League group stage with Tottenham.

Can they win Tottenham as they wish and take the initiative to qualify from the group?

Let's see the next breakdown!
