Chapter 251: No good game in the final
In the Sino-Iranian war, the Chinese team had a shortage of personnel, Kuaima Yu Hanchao was injured and sat on the bench, Wu Xi accumulated two yellows and was suspended, and Zhang Linpeng and Wu Lei played with injuries. Head coach Cannavaro opened with a 442 formation, Zhang Linpeng sat in the back, Zheng Zhi led the midfield, and Dai Zhiwei, Zhang Yuning and Wu Lei rushed forward.
Iran had no injuries, with the exception of left midfielder Wahid Amiri, who was suspended for two yellows, and coach Queiroz opened with a 451 formation.
The starting lineup of the Chinese team: Yan Junling, Liu Yang, Shi Ke, Zhang Linpeng, Liu Yiming, Hao Junmin, Zheng Zhi, Jin Jingdao, Zhang Yuning, Dai Zhiwei, Wu Lei
Iran starting line-up: Beiranvandhai Safi, Kanaani, Praliganjiki, Rissayan Jahanbakhsh, Omid Ibrahimi, Dejaga, Milad Muhammadi Mehdi Taremi, Azmoun
Iran coach Queiroz was humble and thought China was stronger before the game, saying: "China is a great team, it's always difficult to play against a player like Dai Zhiwei, but we will play our own style of football. ”
"Is this an early confession?" Dai Zhiwei, who was preparing for the final appearance in the locker room, looked at the news and said to Wu Lei beside him.
"What?" Wu Lei glanced at Dai Zhiwei's mobile phone screen, "Smoke bombs, right?" ”
"Who knows?" Dai Zhiwei didn't care, he didn't win against Iran in the round of 12 qualifiers, so, "Just win him." ”
……
The players of both sides soon entered the stadium under the guidance of the referee, and the second quarter-final match of the 2019 Asian Cup began with the referee's whistle.
After the start of the game, Dai Zhiwei was in the front, and the Chinese team used his personal assault ability to quickly occupy the advantage on the field, and Dai Zhiwei, who had enough rest, was like a tiger getting out of trouble, quickly bringing up his offensive rhythm, and also allowing other teammates of the Chinese team to quickly integrate into the rhythm of the game around him.
Whether it is Artemisia Junmin in the midfield, Jin Jingdao who is plugged in from time to time, or Zhang Yuning and Wu Lei on the side, they all seem to be charged with electricity, frequently creating threats and delivering shells to Dai Zhiwei.
Iranian coach Queiroz surprisingly did not shrink his play, making the Chinese team slightly unprepared defensively, plus the two wing players of the Iranian team are also not slow players, and the two sides played wide open for a while.
In the first ten minutes of the game, both sides played several high-quality attacks, and the fans are now in amazement.
However, as the game progressed, the Chinese team with Dai Zhiwei gradually controlled the situation on the field.
The two central defenders of the Iranian team, Kanani and Praliganjiki, had already understood the danger of Dai Zhiwei in just ten minutes, and they could not relax for a minute.
In the 20th minute of the game, Wu Lei took the ball in the middle, and Zheng Zhi played in the penalty area with a one-to-one, swept his sight, and quickly passed through the back of Kanani in front of him, and the ball was sent to the big gap behind him, and a red figure passed through like a lightning bolt.
Dai Zhiwei saw Wu Lei's start, comprehended the run, and quickly jumped out of the junction of the two central defenders, and Prali Ganjiki himself wanted to pull Dai Zhiwei, but he was led by him to mess up his pace and staggered to lose his defensive position.
Wu Lei's pass was accurately sent to Dai Zhiwei's running route, and Dai Zhiwei, who threw off the defender, had already intercepted the ball and quickly rushed forward, forming a single goal.
"Dai Zhiwei, Dai Zhiwei got the ball, Kanani is too late!" The commentator of Huaxia TV's sports channel has never been so easy to broadcast the Chinese team's game live in the Asian Cup. Dai Zhiwei faced the Iranian goalkeeper Beiranvande! ”
"The ball is in! Dai Zhiwei, goal! ”
The handling of the ball after that was not difficult for Dai Zhiwei, and the next moment when Beiranvand made a save, he hit a Beranvand crotch boccia ball with a clever hidden and clever stab, to which the Iranian goalkeeper did not react.
10!
At the moment when the football entered the net, the Chinese fans who came from afar flew the items in their hands, vented their emotions, and shouted the names of the Chinese team and Dai Zhiwei in their mouths!
"Nice start!"
Although the Asian Cup is not comparable to the Premier League and the Champions League in terms of competition level, and it will be difficult for the Iranian team to be relegated if it reaches the Premier League, Dai Zhiwei is still quite excited.
He laughed and ran to the corner flag area, glanced at the stadium with a rebellious face, came to the Chinese team fans to accept cheers, made his signature blowgun celebration, and then vented his "cannon fire" to the Chinese team fans in the stands, which attracted more enthusiastic cheers from the Chinese team fans!
"Pass it beautifully, Angkor!" Dai Zhiwei, who returned to the court, hugged Wu Lei excitedly.
"Zhiwei, you're beautiful!" The Chinese team members came over to celebrate with Dai Zhiwei.
Cannavaro saw his players scoring a goal, and applauded excitedly, this goal made his heart relax for a long time, and the performance of the Chinese team without Dai Zhiwei had been stumbling before, and reaching the quarterfinals was already the limit.
But now that Dai Zhiwei is back, they have immediately changed from a team at the top eight level to the favorite team to win the Asian Cup!
Who says football isn't an individual sport?
The game restarted, and the Chinese team was very excited after scoring a goal, frequently using the two wings to create a threat.
"Zhang Yuning, Zhang Yuning entered the penalty area and crossed...... Hey, it's a pity, when did Praliganjiki come back? The chagrin of the commentators of Huaxia TV's sports channel kept ringing in the live TV.
"Oh, Berranvand saved the team again, it's amazing!" The commentators of the Iranian team are quite excited, and it is exciting enough to see their team able to withstand the onslaught of the Chinese team.
After all, the Chinese team has Dai Zhiwei, the winner of the Golden Globe!
Dai Zhiwei is still more or less affected by the fatigue of the car and horses, and these players on the field of the Chinese team have not played together for a while, and there are some problems in the tacit understanding, plus he always wants to kill the opponent at once, but he can't imagine that even the resilience of the Iranian team that has broken through the goal is not small, and the Chinese team's offense always sees only flowers, but no results.
In the 39th minute of the game, Iranian midfielder Oleksky picked the ball into the Chinese team's penalty area, and Mehditaremi got the ball.
"Mehdi Taremi got the ball in the box, turned, Shi Ke was slow, damn volley!" The commentator of Huaxia TV's sports channel had always had a flat tone before, but at this moment his voice was hanging.
Mehdi Taremi got the ball and turned calmly, but Shi Ke, the closest Chinese player to him, was a step slower, and by the time he slid over, Mehdi Taremi had already completed the volley.
In the face of Mehdi Taremi's shot, Yan Junling also made a mistake, he did not block the near corner, and let the opponent's burst into the goal from the near post!
11!
"The ball is in!" Then it's time for the Iranian commentator to play: "Mehdi Taremi, Mehdi Taremi has scored!" Equaliser for us! Oleksky's precise pass, Mehditaremi's beautiful turn and volley in one go, equalised for us! ”
The head coach of the Iranian team, Queiroz, looked at Cannavaro with a solemn face triumphantly, you are still too young!
The Iranian team that equalized finally recovered from the high-pressure threat of the Chinese team, and constantly used their own rushing to hit the back of the Chinese team, and the two forwards in the front court also began to frequently put pressure on the Chinese team's defense.
In the 40th minute, after Hao Junmin cut off the ball in the middle of the field, he advanced at high speed, along the side to the front of the Iranian team, saw the defender coming, and quickly made a pass with Kim Jingdao, once again shook off Milad Muhammadi, and quickly entered the penalty area.
At this time, Hai Safi also came to block, Hao Junmin hurriedly distributed the ball to Dai Zhiwei, and then bypassed Hai Safi and went straight into the penalty area.
After Dai Zhiwei got the ball, he didn't choose to turn around and pass Prali Ganjiki, but just knocked his heel and went directly to the route where Hao Junmin was running.
Seeing that Hao Junmin was about to receive Dai Zhiwei's pass, he was about to penetrate the Iranian team's defense, but at this time, a big foot suddenly flew next to him, quickly shoveling him to the ground, and also destroying the attack, the ball bounced onto Hao Junmin's body and rolled out of the bottom line.
"Penalty, he tackled me first." Hao Jun Min thought that the referee would award a penalty, but when he saw the referee's gesture to signal the game to continue, he immediately shouted dissatisfied.
The Chinese players also looked at the referee and signaled that the players of the Iranian team had fouled first.
However, the referee ignored the complaints of the Chinese players and quickly ran through the midfield, at which time the Iranian team had already launched an attack.
Iranian goalkeeper Beiranvand took advantage of the unstable foothold of the Chinese team's backline, and quickly passed the football to the backfield of the Chinese team with a big foot, and Zhang Linpeng jumped high to meet the incoming ball.
But unfortunately, Zhang Linpeng's bounce and height were not enough to intercept this pass, so the most dangerous situation was caused by the deputy defender rising to the top!
The striker of the Iranian team, who has scored a goal in this game, was lucky to stop the ball with his chest, and saw that Shi Ke, the other remaining central defender of the Chinese team, ran over to block himself, and hurriedly sent the ball to the left side with self-awareness, where there was already Azmon inserted at high speed.
After getting the ball, Azmon was already in a complete single-handed state, although Yan Junling chose to attack at the first time, but still failed to save Azmon's powerful volley.
12, the Chinese team fell behind!
"The ball is in again!" It's time for the Iranian commentator to roar again, "Azmoun has overtaken the score for us!" We are ahead of the Chinese team! We are the kings of Asia! ”
"It's terrible to lose this ball!" Dai Zhiwei looked helplessly at the cheering figure of the Iranian team members with his hands on his hips, and shook his head slightly.
Compared with the World Cup, the current level of the Chinese team's backline has dropped too much.
Although the Chinese team conceded a lot of goals in the Russian World Cup, they faced European and American giants, and even had a perfect performance of the German team with a clean sheet, and the current opponent is only the Iranian team that is weak in attack and strong in defense.
The backward situation was obviously unacceptable to every player wearing the Chinese team jersey, and at the end of the first half, under the leadership of Dai Zhiwei, began a frantic counterattack, launching wave after wave of onslaught around the Iranian team's goal.
Dai Zhiwei looked at the ball with an iron face, he absolutely couldn't accept that he was eliminated in the first game after returning to the national team, and lost the first Asian Cup match that he had just participated in.
Although, he guessed that Mourinho should be happy with the result.
The Chinese team quickly launched an infiltration cooperation, hit near the penalty area, Jin Jingdao sent the ball to Dai Zhiwei's feet, the latter used his speed, quickly rushed to the vicinity of the small penalty area, flashed a gap, suddenly cast a cold arrow, the ball stuck to the turf, whistling towards the goal!
With a "bang", the ball bounced off the post and flew out of the bottom line!
"I'll go!" Seeing that he was only a millimeter away from the goal, Dai Zhiwei patted his head with some annoyance.
He also realized that the Iranian team's defense was really good, and there shouldn't be too many chances to shoot with ease.
In the remaining minutes of the first half, the Chinese team completely pressed the Iranian team's goal, only three shots on goal in less than five minutes, and the Iranian goalkeeper Beiranvand became the busiest man on the field.
However, under the tutelage of Queiroz, the Iranian team's defense has been greatly improved, which is quite stable, even in last year's World Cup, the defense is countable, and they did not give the Chinese team too many opportunities.
Soon, with the referee's whistle, the first half of the game ended, and the Chinese team unexpectedly temporarily fell behind with a score of 12.
……
"You have to be patient and use the flanks to tear apart the opponent's defense! Dai, you have to get closer to the opponent's penalty area, you don't have to pull it out, but watch out for the opponent's offside trap! "In the locker room of the Chinese team, Cannavaro is making a midfield arrangement.
Cannavaro is much worse than his mentor Lippi's midfield changes, but he hasn't been standing still either.
"We need to be more solid defensively, pay attention to maintaining a good formation, you see!" Cannavaro quickly adjusted the mentality of his players in midfield, believing that with the quality of his team, he could definitely score again.
In the dressing room on the other side, the head coach of the Iranian team, Queiroz, was extremely excited and shouted to his players that the victory over the Chinese team and Dai Zhiwei in the Asian Cup was something that made him think about it to the bone.
"Defense, defense, got it? They are the quarter-finals of the World Cup, they have Mr. Ballon d'Or, but we are also the boss of Asia, and those Chinese people have nothing to fear! You did a great job in the first half! Also, Prali Ganjiki, I want to see you stick to Dai Zhiwei's body like super glue, don't give that kid any more chances! Don't be afraid to get a ......"
