Chapter 119: Stopping the ball in front of the goal line

For the top 12 in the Asian zone of the World Preliminaries, there is no weak team for the Chinese team, and the first game will challenge South Korea away, and the second game will face Iran in Shenyang.

In the last game, the Chinese team stubbornly equalized the score after falling behind by two goals away and scored the first point in the round of 12, which is more bloody and hopeful.

As the number one team in Asia, the Iranian team narrowly defeated Qatar 2-0 in the first game with two consecutive cities in stoppage time, ushering in a good start.

The Chinese team has only achieved a dismal record of 4 wins, 5 games and 11 losses in the previous 20 times against Iran, and the most recent defeat to Iran was back in 2009, when Gao Lin scored the only goal of the game in Gao Hongbo's first game after taking office, helping "Gao Jiajun" usher in a good start.

Prior to this campaign, the Chinese team played 7 World Cup Asian qualifiers at home in Shenyang, and won all of them, scoring 16 goals and not conceding a goal. 15 years ago, the Chinese men's football team entered the World Cup for the first time from the blessed land of Shenyang. It is worth mentioning that this game is the 100th World Preliminary Tournament in which the national football team participates.

The national football team still has a 5-back formation in this game, and Zheng Zhi needs at least 10 days of rest after being injured in the last game, so Zhang Linpeng, Feng Xiaoting and Li Xuepeng partner with three central defenders, Ren Xing and Zhao Mingjian on both sides of the bureau; In the midfield, Artemisia Junmin, who got rid of injuries, partnered with Huang Bowen and Yu Hai in the midfield; Dai Zhiwei continued to partner with Wu Lei in the front.

After the opening, before Dai Zhiwei could shoot on goal, the Chinese team suffered a blow.

In the 5th minute, Iran instigated a counterattack, Shaoja's through ball was slightly stronger, and Amiri still did not close his foot in the penalty area when he could not get the ball, and his knee hit Zeng Cheng directly, and the referee immediately took out a yellow card to Amiri.

Zeng Cheng, who hit a lot of light, fell on the field after holding on for a while, signaling that he could not continue the game, and the Chinese team was forced to change the goalkeeper, and the substitute goalkeeper Gu Chao was ordered to guard the dragon gate.

Zeng Cheng was immediately tied to an ice pack on his left knee after leaving the scene, and was then sent to an ambulance for medical examination.

"!" Dai Zhiwei saw Zeng Cheng being helped into the passage of the court, and spat in the direction of Amiri.

In Asian football, the number one sufferer of the Chinese team is undoubtedly the South Korean team. But for Chinese football, the most insulting memory was given by the Iranians.

"New hatred and old hatred, your sister, Lao Tzu must be ashamed together today!" Dai Zhiwei secretly made up his mind!

Iran is an absolute powerhouse in Asia, but Dai Zhiwei even broke through the doors of Real Madrid and Barcelona, are you still afraid of Iran?

As the game progressed, the Iranian team gradually reversed the disadvantage on the field and brought the game into a balance situation.

In the 14th minute, Huang Bowen sent a precise long pass from the backfield, Dai Zhiwei unloaded the ball beautifully, and the volley with the outside of his right foot on the edge of the arc of the big penalty area would be deflected off the right post.

1 minute later, it was Dai Zhiwei's hanging shot from the edge of the big penalty area on the right side that was taken down by Beiranvand jumping up.

Throughout the first half, Dai Zhiwei fell into the opponent's crowd tactics, and the Iranian team fully recognized his strength, resulting in him frequently falling to the ground and being violated, which made the Chinese fans in the stadium boo.

Back in the locker room at halftime, Perrin also specifically asked about Dai Zhiwei's injury.

Because just as the first half was about to end, the Chinese team launched a wave of fierce attacks, and there was a great opportunity in front of the penalty area, Dai Zhiwei was brought down by the opponent's tackle, which made him fall to the ground in pain for a long time before getting up.

"It's okay, it's just a hard injury, otherwise it will be worse." The team doctor said happily.

Pei Lan frowned, the team has lost Zheng Zhi and Zeng Cheng one after another, if Dai Zhiwei is injured again, then the game will be completely unplayable.

"No problem!" Dai Zhiwei didn't care, he had to play in the second half, and he had to score.

Perrin nodded, he likes players with fighting spirit, but he can't sacrifice Dai Zhiwei in vain.

He turned to Huang Bowen and said: "In the second half, you have to step forward more decisively and deeply, and go directly into the penalty area. ”

Perrin turned to Hao Junmin and said, "Don't be afraid of their counterattacks, they are all shrunk in front of the penalty area, we have enough time to deal with their counterattacks." ”

The halftime break did not extinguish the enthusiasm of the fans, the fans of the Shenyang Olympic Sports Center sang louder, and the fanatical Chinese fans set off a wave of people in the stands, cheering one after another, and the momentum was shocking!

At the beginning of the second half, Dai Zhiwei consciously retreated deeper, not only seducing out the central defenders of the Iranian team, but also attracting the opponent's midfield defenders, creating more opportunities for Huang Bowen and Hao Junmin to step forward.

Dai Zhiwei's running fully mobilized the offensive enthusiasm of the Chinese team in the front court, and the cooperation of the players gradually returned to the state of the previous club.

Due to the sudden change of tactics of the Chinese team, the Iranian team suddenly became a little passive on the field.

Dai Zhiwei's deep retreat made the opponent's central defender very uncomfortable, and often followed to the front of the penalty area about 10 meters before he stopped following, but at this time Wu Lei will take advantage of the weakness to enter, take the opportunity to disrupt the Iranian team's defensive layout inside and outside the penalty area, whether it is passing the ball or breaking through the goal by himself, the Chinese team has won several good opportunities one after another.

Perrin watched the players continue to waste opportunities in the front court, and he was distressed, these opportunities were all won by hard work again and again, and no one knew if they could get such a good opportunity next time.

If they can't score in time, this wave of attack is likely to be suppressed by the Iranian team as in the first half.

"Zhang, get ready to play!" Perrin's patience has finally run out, and Wu Lei is indeed the player with the smallest gap with Dai Zhiwei in the team's forward line, but his ability to waste opportunities is really head-scratching.

On a chance to kill the ball, the teenager Zhang Yuning replaced Wu Lei.

In the subsequent attack, Dai Zhiwei retreated from the penalty area again, and the opponent's central defender changed his position after following out of the penalty area, neither following Dai Zhiwei nor retreating, but standing at the top of the arc of the penalty area ready to intercept at any time.

Zhang Yuning only made a forward move, but he has always kept a short distance from the Iranian players.

"Here!" Dai Zhiwei suddenly roared loudly.

The players of the Iranian team were a little panicked when they heard Dai Zhiwei's shout, Dai Zhiwei was unmarked in the standing position, and Zhang Yuning passed to Dai Zhiwei in the middle.

When the central defender of the Iranian team saw Dai Zhiwei getting the ball, he could only step forward to defend.

Dai Zhiwei did not choose to dribble, and made a long pass with his right foot with his back at the first time, and then immediately turned around and stepped forward into the penalty area.

His long passing ability is average, but the quality of this ball pass is not bad, Hao Junmin on the right side is fast on the edge, and the Iranian full-backs just chase after them stupidly, not realizing that Dai Zhiwei's pass has torn apart their defense.

When Hao Junmin received the ball, there were no players from the Iranian team around him to guard him. In this case, he did not choose to cross, and one changed inward and killed towards the Iranian goal!

When Hao Junmin approached the Iranian team's penalty area with the ball, only Iranian players hurriedly intercepted it at this time, but Dai Zhiwei had already sprinted from the other side, and Artemisia Junmin only needed to smooth the ball and give the ball under his feet to Dai Zhiwei who broke into the penalty area!

"Beautiful! Single-handed! He Wei in the live broadcast room suddenly raised his voice, and he knew that so far, Dai Zhiwei has not kicked a single knife ball!

Beiranvand swooped out from the goal, and although he knew it might be futile, he had no choice but to do it!

Dai Zhiwei received the ball, and in the face of Beiranvande, he first made a feint to break through to the left, and then a right-angle fake to the right, breaking through the last defense line of the Iranian team, like a light smoke.

"It's over! Dai Zhiwei is now facing an empty door...... Oh, what's going on? He Wei in the live broadcast room was like someone suddenly choked his neck, "Dai Zhiwei stopped the ball!" ”

Just after Dai Zhiwei broke through Beiranvande, just two steps, he came to a meter in front of the goal line.

But at this moment, he stepped lightly on his left foot and pressed the football on the goal line of the Iranian team!

Rewind to December 9, 2006.

On that day, the Chinese Olympic team, known as the platinum generation, encountered the Iranian Olympic team in the quarterfinals of the Doha Asian Games, and in the 40th minute of the first half, Iranian striker Bohani got a chance to hit a single goal, and after he successfully shook off Dangwang Dalei, he got a chance to hit an empty goal.

However, Bohani did not choose to kick the ball directly in, but brought the ball to the goal line and stopped directly, he first glanced at Wang Dalei who was shaken, and then beckoned his teammates to come forward, and when his teammates arrived, Bohani seemed to prove how gorgeous his goal was, and then slowly sent the ball into the net.

There is no doubt that being scored in this way is one of the most humiliating scenes in the history of Chinese football, although all the soldiers of the National Olympic team launched a Jedi counterattack afterwards, scoring two goals in a row to drag the game to the penalty shootout, but in the end it was a regrettable loss to the opponent and stopped in the top 8.

Dai Zhiwei stepped lightly on his left foot, pressed the football on the goal line of the Iranian team, and after a full second of pause, he volleyed with his right foot vigorously and made a tiger shot on the goal line!

The football slammed into the goal net, holding up a large bag, as if it was about to tear the net, and it did not dissipate for a long time.

1:0!

After the goal, Dai Zhiwei did not choose to continue to celebrate in front of the Iranian team, but directly sprinted to the corner flag, crossed his index fingers with both hands, and posed a "ten" pose to the fans on the spot.

Ten years of shame, snow today!

Originally, the players on the field of the Iranian team were ready to settle accounts with Dai Zhiwei's previous move to stop the ball on the goal line, but before they could catch up, Dai Zhiwei was surrounded by circles of Chinese team players, coupled with the fanatical Chinese fans in the stands, these players stopped.

Perrin on the sidelines jumped up excitedly and waved his fists: "Good job!" We're ahead! Now we have a lot of room to play, I'm going to see what tactics they use to stop us! ”

Perrin was suffocated by the previous draw, and shouted loudly at this time, as if the Chinese team had firmly held the victory in their own hands.

Dai Zhiwei's goal broke the deadlock on the pitch, and Perrin excitedly hugged his assistant on the sidelines in celebration, waving his fists in the air as if to demonstrate to the Iranian team on the other side.

Iran's head coach Queiroz saw Perran's excited expression but felt very much in the way, and his carefully arranged tactics persisted for nearly 70 minutes, but he didn't expect it to fall short.

Perrin kept waving on the sidelines to calm down his players and keep the score.

Seeing Perrin's move, Queiroz hesitated, only asking the players on the field to strengthen the attack, but did not make personnel adjustments, which became one of the mistakes that were criticized after the game.

Maybe it was Dai Zhiwei's previous goal that made the Iranian players angry, or maybe it was because they didn't fully consider the backward situation before the game, so although the Iranian team pressed it hard, the effect was not good, but it gave the Chinese team several opportunities to counterattack.

Muhammadi tried to cross from the wing, but was intercepted by Zhao Mingjian, and then handed the big foot to Hao Junmin in front.

Hao Junmin showed his extreme speed, but he was able to block the ball with a sliding tackle when the ball was about to go off the baseline.

Dai Zhiwei also responded to Artemisia Junmin's side when he was running, and after Artemisia Junmin left the ball in the field and he slid out of the sideline, Dai Zhiwei immediately controlled the football at his feet.

After a wild ride, Dai Zhiwei entered the penalty area and, after attracting three Iranian defenders, sent the ball to the penalty spot in the inverted triangle.

Zhang Yuning got an easy chance to stab, Beiranvand couldn't make a save, but unfortunately the football grazed the post and flew out of the bottom line.

"Alas!"

Zhang Yuning, who missed the opportunity, lowered his head and was silent, and slapped his forehead hard, if he can score this goal, the Chinese team can completely kill the game.

Dai Zhiwei on the side also patted Zhang Yuning's shoulder understandingly, the latter is a 19-year-old player, and his performance in this grade is already very good!

Look at the other so-called U23 internationals, who can't play the main team in the Chinese Super League, and their performance is not much better than shit!

"Attack! All offense! "Queiroz is really pressed, even if the Chinese team's counterattack is very threatening this time, he can't care about it so much.

0:1 and 0:2 are both losses, there is not much difference!

In the final stage of the game, the Iranian team launched round after round of onslaught.

In the 87th minute of the game, the Iranian team's long pass from the back was empty on the right side, Jahanbakhsh inserted the ball and crossed, and Taimurian cushioned the ball with his left foot and cleverly passed Feng Xiaoting, and then volleyed with his right foot from 12 yards but hit the plane.

In the final stage of stoppage time, Ren Xing's header was wrong, and Muhammadi's long-range shot was saved by Gu Chaofei.

In the end, the Chinese team defeated the Iranian team 1:0 at home and won the first victory in the round of 12!

Facing South Korea and Iran in a row, with one win and one draw, the Chinese team has ushered in a dream start in the top 12!
