Chapter 213: The Heart of Killing
Although the weather in Tehran was good, everyone didn't go out in the end and spent time in the hotel.
Lippi, on the other hand, seems to be having a good time, and as a European, he doesn't seem to take the word 'danger' to heart. Li Tie asked everyone not to go out as much as possible, but Lippi, as the head coach, swam all over Tehran.
And was interviewed by the local media.
He first praised the beauty of the area and the enthusiasm of the Iranians, and then talked about football.
"Iran is very strong, in Asia, it is one of the few strong teams, and it is very distinctive. The most terrifying thing is that you haven't conceded a single goal! ”
After 6 group games in the round of 12, the Iranian team won 4 wins and 2 draws without defeat, and scored 14 points to top the group, showing the momentum of riding in the standings at the beginning of the second half of the group stage. Iran is definitely the most distinctive team in Asia, scoring only 5 goals in the previous 6 rounds and gaining 14 points.
At the same time, it is quite strong that after 6 rounds of games, Iran has become the only team in the top 12 of the 12 teams in group A and B without conceding a goal.
Lippi was not afraid to tell the truth and did not compliment the Iranian team.
No goals conceded, no defeat! This is the real Iranian team.
"However, the Chinese team is also very strong." As soon as Lippi changed his words, he praised the Chinese team.
Is the Chinese team strong? The reporters of this media looked helpless. If you are strong, can you rank fourth in the low score list?
Iran is strong! Iran is number one.
"Where is the strength of the Chinese team?" The reporter then asked.
"Strong in every way. Anyway, if the Iranian team faces the Chinese team according to the original pragmatic attitude, we can definitely find a way to break the goal. "I haven't seen Lippi speak in this way and in a tone, maybe he wants to say it to the Iranian manager?
Otherwise, there is no need to brag in front of the media.
The Iranian team is really pragmatic. When they defend, the back line drops back very deep, and the defenders pile up to occupy the opponent's passing space and cut the passing route.
As for the offense? It's a quick counter-attack along the two flanks.
However, "pragmatism" does not mean voluntarily giving up the initiative in the game. The "pragmatism" of a strong team is also reflected in the tactical changes that change the offensive and defensive ratio made in a timely manner based on the strength of the enemy and the game state.
Therefore, the Chinese team must not think that Iran can easily control the rhythm of the game and dominate the offense most of the time because Iran has mainly defended and counterattacked in the previous 6 top 12 matches.
Lippi obviously wants to hook up with the Iranian coach to adjust his tactics.
Lippi doesn't know anything about Queiroz, only that he was an assistant to Alex Ferguson at Manchester United and has also led Portugal, but there are no decent results, but Queiroz has done a good job in Iran.
It is not known whether Queiroz will be affected by Lippi, but Lippi and his team have been affected.
Because, the Iranians began their off-the-board moves.
After a full day's rest, the team returned to the training ground.
To the dismay of Lippi and the soldiers, the Iranian Football Association provided the Chinese team with a potholed vegetable patch.
"This ...... Are we here to grow vegetables? Captain Zheng Zhi frowned as he looked at Caidi, it was not the first time he came to the Middle East to play a game, but every time he came, he would find that Middle Easterners like to play these tricks.
"Come, come, come, let's grow vegetables together."
If it was an ordinary training ground, it would be fine, but it was really not good. Li Tie, a member of the coaching staff, couldn't stand it anymore, so he went to the team leader to communicate, but the team leader spread his hands and said that there was no way, the Iranians arranged it like this, he had protested before, but they just gave it.
In the end, Lippi just asked the players to jog in circles without any substantive training. Training on a field like this, thank God for not getting hurt.
On the first day, I put up with it, but on the second day, the Iranian Football Association still arranged this training venue, and the Chinese team couldn't train at all......
People just pick the door like this, what can you do?
No one is not angry about this bad attitude of the Iranians, and Wang Dalong almost sprained his foot while running, which is even more incredible.
Then, the next scene begins.
Originally, the Chinese team had just returned to the hotel from the training ground, and after eating, they were about to take a lunch break, but the Iranian Football Association arranged for the Chinese team to conduct an interview?
Lippi flatly refused.
"Shit!" Lippi showed a very different attitude, and when he first arrived, he was polite to Iran, but now he is furious directly in front of the staff of the Iranian Football Federation.
"It doesn't make any sense!"
"We're not going to be there!"
"You're going to regret what you did today!" When Lippi was in his seventies, he was also very terrible when he was angry. He is one of the most famous managers in the world, and he will not tolerate such a trick by the Iranian Football Federation.
※※※※
"Lippi's attitude is very bad, he said that he will use Chinese iron horses to level Tehran!" The TV media reported on the incident and played it up, "He doesn't believe in Tehran's devil's home field, he vows to take away a victory here, the people of Tehran, do you agree?" ”
"This is a big joke, Lippi may not know that the Chinese have lost 1:4 here!"
Sweeping the West Wolves and getting closer to France was the good wish of Chinese fans in the 1997 Top 10 match.
On September 13, 1997, the Chinese men's football team ushered in the first match of the top 10 matches in Dalian Jinzhou, at the beginning of the game, the Chinese team was full of momentum and even once took a two-goal lead, but then the Chinese team swallowed four goals in a row, and lost 2-4 at home to Iran.
In Tehran, the Chinese men's football team lost 1-4. The golden generation of Iran, represented by Alidaiyi, Aziz, Bagheri and Madavecchia, has become a nightmare for the Chinese men's football team for a long time.
That was more than 20 years ago, and the Iranians can still pick it up.
Of course, this is true.
In fact, before coming here, everyone thought that if they could get a draw here, they would win it, after all, even the Koreans lost the game here.
Is Lippi really a little impulsive when he is so arrogant?
Lippi is certainly not impulsive, he has the right to vent his anger, and he doesn't want to just ask for a draw to go back!
He's going to win!
The home of the devils, who has not experienced the so-called home of the devils.
Who hasn't experienced the guy who plays in the Chinese Super League? Isn't Shanghai Shenhua's home stadium also known as the home of the devil? Can't you win? The point is whether the opponent on the field is strong enough!
If you're not strong enough, you just move to Dortmund's home stadium and you can't win!
In the away dressing room, Lippi put the defeat in 1997 on the tactical board in the form of a poster. All the players can see it clearly.
Except for Zheng Zhi, everyone else was still very young at that time.
Zheng Zhi's memory is the deepest, when he was a teenager and had not yet had a chance to enter the national team, but he witnessed this defeat in front of the TV! No, it's two, one in Dalian and one in Tehran! Two humiliating defeats.
"It's such a shame that I don't want to remember!" As captain, he spoke.
"I was sitting in front of the TV and watching Madavecchia, Alidaiyi, Aziz and Bageri ravage the Chinese team, and it was quite uncomfortable, and then I vowed that one day, I would be ashamed of the Chinese team. As a result, it was more than 20 years. ”
"I believe that many viewers and fans in front of the TV must have the same feelings as me, they hope that one day we can come back here and take revenge!"
Li Tie was sitting on the side of the coaching staff, silent, but now he actually stood up.
Yes, Zheng Zhi just watched the game in front of the TV, but he was a witness to that game, and no one knew better than him.
What's more, he was still the main player on the field at that time, and was responsible for marking the extremely fast Madavecchia! Of course, he was defeated in the end, and he couldn't fight at all, but without him? Maybe the Chinese team will lose even more and concede a few more goals.
At that time, I don't know how many people were shouting on the field - change Li Tie, change Li Tie, change Li Tie.
Including the game against Qatar, too, the farce came out one after another, and finally a strange thing in the history of football was born, the head coach substitution decision was not based on tactics, but based on the fans' blind heckling.
This is the shadow of Li Tie's life! Thankfully, he proved himself at Everton, and the fans are so short-sighted!
"Zheng Zhi has finished everything I want to say, I can only say that I hope everyone can do their best to be ashamed of us and Chinese football!"
※※※※
Wang Dalong has not experienced it, and he has not even seen the video of the game, but he has only heard of it. But before coming to Tehran, Huang Zhendong instilled in him a lot of history of Sino-Iranian confrontation and proper history of shame. Huang Zhendong is a person of the same era as Li Tie, and he is also heartbroken, and he is angry when he thinks about it. Then, he pinned his hopes on Wang Dalong.
For this reason, Wang Dalong deliberately reviewed those things about Chinese football in 1997, and then he was also full of motivation.
Coupled with the tragic experience of the last two days, he ignited the fire of killing even more.
It's the home of the devil, and he's going to overthrow it!
That afternoon, he walked slowly to the Azadi Stadium, and the red was all over his face. It wasn't the red he was used to, it was mixed with a hint of black, the color of the Iranians.
The 100,000-strong Azadi Stadium, which is said to have poured in about 120,000 fans, filled all the space where there was, leaving only the running track outside the stadium.
The 120,000 birds are flying all over the sky, as if they can really call the devil Satan down and become their strongest fighting force.
But what is this?
Isn't it just Iran's home turf? Wang Dalong didn't know what his teammates' mentality was, he only had a heart of anger and a heart to kill the enemy.
He just wants to win here, take off the Iranian's head and bring it back to the Chinese fans.
Look, this is the enemy we have always hated, and it is dead.
After playing in the national team for so long, even playing against the South Korean team, he didn't feel that his fighting spirit was so strong.
At the beginning, he was very calm, but as the game approached, as all the historical scenes reappeared, Wang Dalong realized that this battle must not be lost, and must be won!
What about 120,000? What about the home field? All he had to face was eleven people standing on the pitch, and even a handful of defenders in front of him!
Lippi still arranged Cao Yunding and Wu Lei by his side, which was enough, on the bench, there were Zhao Mingjian, Zhang Xizhe, Hao Junmin, etc., everything was old faces.
Is Iran strong? I heard that there is also a talented striker Azmoun? Let's take a look at what a real striker is!
Wang Dalong decided that he wanted to return the Iranian team to the original world and let them know football again.
It's game on!
The Chinese team serves first.
Wu Lei knocked the ball directly to Wang Dalong.
I'm going to let you know what it means to kick a ball! Wang Dalong was like a wild horse on the loose, and he quickly rushed to the opponent's half with the ball in a murderous manner.
He didn't pass the ball!
Sou......
Soon, he went straight through the defense of two people!
The two guys at the front just watched Wang Dalong rush in front of them, and their speed did not slow down at all.
What is he going to do!
The Iranians are still on hold! I saw Wang Daling killed halfway.
Then, the two midfielders, Timurian and Essatorahi, rushed up and wanted to give Wang Dalong a dismissal.
The two of them quickly surrounded Wang Dalong on the left and right.
By this time, Wang Dalong can actually pass the ball out.
However, he didn't!
Pretty good defensively?
Wang Dalong gently buckled and pulled his right foot, and at the same time a bull's tail was thrown out, he kicked the ball forward.
Moreover! It's through the middle of two people!
Neither Temurian nor Essatorahi expected Wang Dalong to do this!
After the ball was passed, the two of them hurriedly continued to close the circle!
Unexpectedly, Wang Dalong kicked the ground with his left foot, his body quickly leaned to the right, and rushed over from the right!
Fast!
It's like there's only one phantom!
Yes!
Bastard!
Seeing Wang Dalong rushing over from his left side, Aisatolahi had no choice!
Then, Wang Dalong continued to chase the ball!
The ball is mine, you don't want it! Wang Dalong held his breath and raised his speed a little more!
Ahead, the Iranian central defender Hosseini has already rushed over, wanting to fight with Wang Dalong for speed!
Seeing it, he is one step faster than Wang Dalong!
Drink!
Wang Dalong roared angrily, stretched out his left leg, and shoveled it mercilessly!
He has already used this trick handy, and he will never be merciful when fighting with his opponent!
Then, the two of them touched the ball at the same time, Husseini pulled his foot directly, and Wang Dalong stepped on the ball directly with the sole of his foot!
Bang –
The ball was squeezed to the point of exploding......
This scene is a bit like the battle with the South Korean team, except that Wang Dalong was so brutal as soon as he started......
