After the end of the match with Syria, the Chinese team did not immediately go to Tashkent, the next away team of Uzbekistan.

The team stayed in Xi'an for a day of recovery, and Dai Zhiwei finally got past the jet lag and was able to train normally with the team.

The day after the game, the team did not have a ball training scheduled, and in the afternoon there was a strength training session at the hotel's gym.

More important now than training is the recovery of the players' confidence.

After dinner, some players choose to play golf at the hotel's indoor golf course to adjust their mentality. Dai Zhiwei met with Jin Chang and discussed some issues about domestic endorsements.

At noon on the 8th, the whole team collectively set off for a charter flight to the Uzbekistan team.

In the starting team, Zhang Linpeng, who was banned for the game, is still in the list, and in the previous two games, Zhang Linpeng could only watch the game against the Uzbekistan team because of two yellow cards in a row, but the coaching staff still brought him to the away stadium in order to let him act as a sparring partner.

In this issue of the Chinese team's training camp, the position of the central defender first lost Li Xuepeng, and Feng Xiaoting was absent for many days due to a cold and fever during closed training in Wuhan, so the position of the central defender in training is often played by Cai Huikang, Zhang Xiaobin and others temporarily, so even if Zhang Linpeng cannot appear in the game, he can act as a sparring partner in the training, simulate the opponent's defensive line, and improve the training level of the team, so the Chinese team still brought Zhang Linpeng in the team.

In addition, Jiang Zhipeng, who was injured in the last game, is also in the team, and his injury is no longer serious.

What made Dai Zhiwei feel ashamed was that, according to the Dragon Team Fan Association, due to cumbersome visa procedures and other reasons, there were not as many fans who went to South Korea as before. But with the addition of the local Chinese, there will still be more than 1,000 fans cheering for the Chinese team in Tashkent.

Although the defeat in Xi'an made the fans feel very aggrieved, the Chinese fans still support the Chinese team.

"A group of fans organized by us will go to Tashkent on the 9th, hoping that the team can play a domineering game away from home and live up to the Chinese fans who have come from far and wide to support the scene!"

Even though Dai Zhiwei is already a member of the Chinese team, he has to admit that the Chinese team is not even a third-rate team in the world, but the domestic fans are absolutely world-class!

In Tashkent in October, the weather temperature is about 5-20 degrees, and Dai Zhiwei feels very comfortable when he warms up.

In this game, compared with the previous round, the Chinese team made a 7-person rotation, Yang Zhi, Du Wei, Cai Huikang, Dai Zhiwei, Wu Lei, Sun Ke, Zhang Chengdong replaced Gu Chao, Zhang Linpeng, Yu Hai, Huang Bowen, Zhang Xizhe, Zhang Yuning, Gao Lin, Zhang Linpeng accumulated 2 yellow cards and was suspended.

The Uzbekistan team made a three-man rotation, Hashimov, Odil Akhmedov, and Bikmaev replaced Ismailov, Shukurov, and Rashidov, and Ismailov and Heinrich accumulated 2 yellow cards and were suspended.

After the start of the game, both sides played cautiously and did not rush to attack.

As an integral part of the football of the former Soviet Union, the Uzbek team completely adheres to all the characteristics of Soviet football in terms of team style, and the whole team has a fierce style, is well-trained like a mechanized army, moves quickly, and always maintains a neat formation.

Although their individual ability is not outstanding, the intention of the executive coach is very resolute, and they are good at taking advantage of the gap between the opponent's flat back lines to stuff straight balls forward, and the fast-moving strikers slam behind the opponent's central defenders and go straight to the opponent's penalty area, often creating a single ball in the most direct way.

After the opening, Uzbekistan had a slight advantage, and China also got 2 corner kick opportunities, but neither of them formed a shot on goal.

In the 14th minute, Sun Ke collided with Hashimov on the left side of the backfield and was injured and was carried back to the lounge by the team doctor. 4 minutes later, the Chinese team made a passive substitution, and Jiang Zhipeng replaced Sun Ke.

"Weak chicken!" Dai Zhiwei really doesn't want to blame Sun Ke, but such a physical collision, not to mention the Premier League, which emphasizes confrontation, is not even common in La Liga, which is in the flow of technology.

But on the one hand, Sun Ke lacks the experience of self-protection during the collision, and on the other hand, he does not like to practice strength, so this touch will not work.

It is true that the Super League sometimes has big moves and hurtful actions, but this does not mean that they are good at physical confrontation.

It's like playing basketball, having a lot of small moves and being fearless against each other are two different things.

"Alas, I still play too much in the domestic uncle's ball." Dai Zhiwei could only sigh.

This is the current status quo in domestic football, and the title of "white chicken" is not just used for jokes.

After that, the Uzbekistan team got many good chances to score, completely beating the Chinese team from afar.

Just 5 minutes after the last shot, the Chinese team continued to be in danger in front of the goal, first Du Wei's header in the penalty area was not far away, and a left-footed volley from 18 meters on the left rib of the left edge of the Bikmaev penalty area grazed the crossbar in the near corner.

In the 21st minute, the Uzbekistan team took the lead, Asunsan went straight to the right rib of the penalty area, Du Wei and Yang Zhi made a mistake in cooperation, Shomurodov surpassed Du Wei with speed, and stabbed the football before Yang Zhi attacked, Yang Zhi could only choose to foul, and the referee immediately awarded a penalty.

Jeparov took the penalty, and he deceived Yang Zhi with just a feint of his ankle before shooting and fired the ball into the middle.

0:1, the Chinese team got off to a bad start!

However, 10 minutes later, the Chinese team managed to equalize.

After receiving a long pass from the back, Dai Zhiwei was tripped by defender Klimets when he was in the middle of the Uzbekistan penalty area and won a free kick on the left side of the field.

The distance between this free kick and the goal is a little far, about 40 meters, even if Dai Zhiwei, who has been shining with free kicks recently, stands in front of the football, all the players of the Uzbekistan team still think that it will be an indirect free kick.

Just when Uzbekistan goalkeeper Lobanov was still directing his teammates to mark the Chinese players in the penalty area, Dai Zhiwei's curved shot drew an "S" shaped trajectory in the air and flew into the near corner of the goal!

1：1！

With the stunned expressions of the Uzbek players, the two teams returned to the same starting line.

After the Chinese equaliser, the Uzbekistan team began to play an oppressive style again, and the attacking force was far greater than that of the visiting team.

The Uzbek team's offensive strength caused the Chinese team to be exhausted, and they paid the price of foul cards.

In the 37th minute, when Bikmaev broke through with the ball again, Jiang Zhipeng, who had been verbally warned by the referee once, tackled the opponent again, and this time the yellow card could no longer be avoided.

In the ensuing game, both sides attacked and defended each other, but they couldn't get any good chances, and could only go into halftime with a draw.

Although the situation was passive in the first half, it was clear that Perrin was very satisfied with the 1:1 scoreline, so he only emphasized strengthening the defense in the second half and paying attention to the counterattack.

One point away from home is the goal of the Chinese team in this game.

Although Dai Zhiwei felt very unwilling, this is the strength of the Chinese team.

After the start of the second half, the two sides changed places and fought again, but it was still difficult to open the situation.

Dai Zhiwei basically couldn't receive a pass in the front court, so he could only helplessly watch this "rookie peck".

At the beginning of the second half, after breaking through on the right side, Bikmaev fired an anti-aircraft gun into the sky, which was more standard than the defender's clearance.

6 minutes later, Dai Zhiwei won the ball in the counterattack and passed it to Wu Lei, but unfortunately the latter once again showed a god-level running position + rookie shooting skills, and the weak shot was like a return to the goalkeeper.

For his forward partner, Dai Zhiwei is also speechless, if you want to say that you can't run, it's just that, but Wu Lei has the running position and speed of a La Liga-level striker, but when he passes it to him, he just can't shoot, more Husky than Husky!

Subsequently, the Chinese team began to defend solidly under the shouts of Perran, and Dai Zhiwei was at the front alone, while the Uzbek team did not have much ability to break the dense defense, so it was scoreless.

In order to defend with all his might, Peilan also replaced Wu Lei with Huang Bowen in the 64th minute, and completely told the opponent: I want to defend to the death!

On the field, the Chinese team has been passive, but the Uzbek team has always struggled to create a lethal threat.

After the game entered 70 minutes, the Uzbekistan team besieged 3 consecutive corner kicks, but it was unable to send the football into the goal guarded by Yang Zhi.

After carrying the three-board axe of the Uzbek team, the Chinese team is facing another three-board axe of the home team - Uzbekistan's offensive routine is indeed not much, but it can't withstand the Chinese team's non-attack.

Dai Zhiwei also received a yellow card for excessive action in a subsequent game, but even the only striker on the Chinese team came back to participate in the defense at the back, which also reflected how passive they were on the field.

When Dai Zhiwei was receiving his topaz card, the Chinese team also played the second substitution card - Peilan replaced Jiang Ning, who played as a forward defender in this game, with Zhang Xiaobin, a defender, to continue to strengthen the defense.

After Zhang Xiaobin came on the field, he formed a three-back with Cai Huikang and Hao Junmin, and the Chinese team's on-field formation also became a 4-3-2-1 "Christmas tree" formation, but this "2" is also composed of Jiang Zhipeng and Zhang Chengdong, who can play fullbacks.

Fortunately, Peilan still had some grace and did not replace Dai Zhiwei from the field.

Perrin wanted to keep the goal from conceding, and the idea of trying his best to hold the draw was also passed to the Chinese players on the field through this substitution, and Dai Zhiwei also frequently retreated to participate in the defense.

Although his defense is really amateurish, the Uzbek players are not players who rely on technical breakthroughs, and his speed can still create a lot of danger for the opposition.

"Alas!" However, Dai Zhiwei is playing more and more boring, the strength of the Uzbekistan team is really average, it is not a first-class strong team in Asia, and it is definitely a weak team that locks the relegation place in La Liga more than a dozen rounds in advance.

However, in the face of such a second-rate Asian team, the Chinese team can only choose to defend to the death, which makes Dai Zhiwei, who has been arrogant so far in his career, accept?

The Uzbekistan team occupies the advantage on the field, but it is also difficult to attack the Chinese team's penalty area, and the long-range shots outside the penalty area can only be useless and waste the opportunities on the field.

Just like Dai Zhiwei judged, the strength of the Uzbek team is not very strong, and it is good at using quick counterattacks and set-pieces to open up the situation in the attack, but now the Chinese team has retracted its defense across the board, leaving no room for them to counterattack quickly, so they can only look forward to set-piece attacks.

In the 92nd minute, the Uzbekistan team launched the final wave of attack, and Odil Akhmedov's breakthrough was brought down by Zhang Chengdong to win a free kick on the right side of the penalty area.

Seeing that there was less than one minute left, the rest of the players except for the goalkeeper Lobanov of the Uzbekistan team ran to the half of the Chinese team, and at least 15 people were crowded in the Chinese team's penalty area.

The Uzbekistan team took a free kick and passed it to the back post, and the former Asian Footballer of the Year and former captain of the Uzbekistan national team, Jeparov, grabbed this crucial header opportunity and pushed out an arc that happened to bypass Yang Zhi's ten fingers.

Fortunately, this time Jiang Zhipeng stood in front of the goal line, and when the football was about to cross the goal line, he pushed the football out of the bottom line with his head.

The Chinese team escaped!

Subsequently, the Uzbekistan team's corner kick was passed to the goal, and after being pushed out of the penalty area by Feng Xiaoting in the small penalty area, the referee finally blew the long-awaited final whistle of the Chinese team, and the game ended immediately.

In the end, the score of 1:1 was maintained until the end of the game, and the Chinese team gained 1 point as they wished!

After the game, Dai Zhiwei did not take a chartered flight back to China with the team, but took a flight directly - partly because Tashkent is closer to Spain, and partly because he felt a little unable to face the domestic fans.

After a dream start in the first two games against South Korea and Iran in the round of 12, the Chinese team planted a big heel in the Syrian team, and after failing to win the Uzbekistan team away, only 5 points after 4 rounds of matches, and the qualification situation took a sharp turn.

After returning to Villarreal, he completely vented his depression on Vigo's opponent in the eighth round of the league.

Only 3 minutes into the game, Trigueros made a direct pass, and Dai Zhiwei, who was successful in the anti-offside position, swept into the net at the first time from 8 yards, 1:0!

In the 12th minute, Celta goalkeeper Sergio Alvarez made a mistake in clearing the siege, and Dai Zhiwei scored a brace in front of the penalty area on the left side, 2:0!

In the 38th minute, it was Dai Zhiwei who broke through the direct pass after breaking the ball in the midfield, and Bakambu scored a strong shot from the right side of the penalty area, 3:0!

In the 48th minute, Celta's gas corner kick melee blocked the ball into their own door, and the own goal helped Villarreal rewrite the score to 4:0!

In the 92nd minute, Mario Gaspar crossed from the right, substitute Pato's header hit the right post and bounced back, and Trigueros shot into the net from 10 yards, 5:0!

After a 5-0 victory over their opponents, the Yellow Submarine is closely following the top four in the standings and continues to maintain an unbeaten record in the league!
