Chapter 298: The King of Asia (3)

The football is currently at the feet of the Chinese team, and Mao Jianqing quickly turned around after receiving a pass from Zhang Cheng. He clearly knew that if he didn't turn around soon, he wouldn't have a chance.

Because his opponent is Iraq's Abbas, who is one of the best defenders among Iraq's overseas players. Therefore, Mao Jianqing didn't dare to take a chance in his heart, and slowly approached with small steps, his eyes full of vigilance.

Abbas leaned down slightly, not in the slightest intention of retreating, and seemed to want a quick victory.

When the difference between the two was only about two meters, Mao Jianqing began to move, and his legs kept wrapping back and forth above the football. Wanting to take advantage of this to get past Abbas, the experienced Abbas is not sure when he will start against his opponent.

In desperation, I could only move a few steps to the back, wanting to open up a little distance and have a little buffer space. But if there is one, there will be two, and if there is two, there will be three, no matter where it is used, this is an eternal truth, and the same applies on the football field.

Abbas had a preconceived notion and kept retreating until Iraqi midfielder Hawar Mullah came to help. At this moment, Mao Jianqing had also noticed that Hawar was approaching him, and without waiting for the other party to form an encirclement, he directly passed the football horizontally.

Zhang Cheng had already inserted the assist, and with a hard push of the arch of his left foot, the ball immediately rolled through and rolled behind Abbas. Mao Jianqing seized the opportunity and immediately pulled out his legs, temporarily shook off Abbas, and caught up with the football.

Then he began to dribble the ball towards the left side of the box, and Abbas was a little annoyed after the loss, and immediately turned to chase back. It's a pity that Mao Jianqing has already fled far away and rushed to the outside of the arc of the penalty area on the left side, Mao Jianqing once again forced himself to reduce his speed with the ball, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously hung a curved arc.

Of course, Iraqi central defender Jashim Haji didn't know what the other party's smile meant, but he also guessed that it might not be good, and secretly became vigilant. Then seeing Mao Jianqing's momentary negligence, he immediately stood sideways, and straddled the football at the opponent's feet with his right thigh.

"So you want to intercept my ball?" Mao Jianqing reacted quickly, raised his right foot, stepped on the ball and pulled back, and suddenly flicked the outside of his left leg to break through from the left side.

Of course, Haji would not let him break through so easily, and quickly moved a few steps sideways to the right side, blocking Mao Jianqing's forward path. However, Mao Jianqing's move is just a temptation, and the main drama has just begun.

I saw that his left leg was lifted, and then gently buckled inward, and suddenly changed the line to the right. But Haji is also scheming, knowing that Mao Jianqing is a cunning guy, so he kept a hand in advance, and the center of gravity was not completely lost, and after simply adjusting the balance of his body, his right leg stretched out and shoveled to the left.

"Haha! It's finally over you! Mao Jianqing's left leg quickly stepped to the right front, and after stepping on the football with the ball of his right foot, he quickly turned around.

Haji had no choice this time, because all the strength in his body was concentrated on his right leg, and he couldn't cope with the current Mao Jianqing's turn.

A beautiful turn, Mao Jianqing's passing made Chinese fans shout, "Beautiful!" ”

But that's all, Mao Jianqing after the breakthrough did not cause a shot, nor did he cause a trace of chaos in the penalty area.

These are all because of one person, Mao Jianqing slowly got up from the ground, spit out the grass clippings in his mouth, and gritted his teeth and said: "Hold the grass, Nazat, you remember for me!" ”

Nazart returned to the defense in time, and at the moment when Mao Jianqing broke through, a just right tackle destroyed the football out of the bottom line. also made Mao Jianqing eat a mouthful of grass clippings, and the siege was very beautiful.

The Chinese team took a corner kick, Shao Jiayi quickly came to the corner area and took a corner kick. Although Zhang Cheng's height is not the highest, he has a strong header ability and a strong body, and he can easily withstand this pass.

He flicked his head to the right, but Qu Bo couldn't get the slightest shot from close range with Iraqi defender Hadji and could only cross back to the edge of the box in the middle.

Cao Yang also arrived at the same time, but his sleeve was gently tugged by Abbas, so that the thighs raised high were actually emptied, and there was a sigh in the court.

The football passed under Cao Yang's feet and rolled backwards, and Mao Jianqing suddenly appeared behind Cao Yang. Iraq's backline immediately tensed up and another centre-back, Jahim Zalem, caught up quickly.

Zalem and Mao Jianqing were entangled and did not let him continue to shoot. Mao Jianqing saw that he couldn't attack for a long time, so he retreated, and raised his right foot to cross to the left side.

Sun Jihai, who came later, received this ball, he raised his head and glanced at the penalty area, and picked his leg to prepare for a direct long-range shot. Zalem was shocked and immediately stepped in to make up for it.

"Hell!" Zalem was annoyed for a second, because when he rushed to Sun Jihai's side, the opponent actually passed the ball. The soccer ball slipped between his legs and rolled towards the right side of the penalty area, where the two opponents played themselves like monkeys.

Mao Jianqing quickly inserted to the edge of the penalty area, and there was a short gap beside him, he didn't dare to delay, and flicked the outside of his right foot. After dodging Haji, who rushed out from the opposite side, his left leg quickly took a step forward to the right, and his right thigh was raised high.

There was a muffled "bang", and the football flew towards the Iraqi team's goal like a meteor piercing the starry sky.

Watching everyone fight fiercely, the blood in the body of Iraqi goalkeeper Noel Sabri was already ready to move, and when he saw the football flying, he shouted: "Good come!" ”

The body immediately flew to the right, and the ball was firmly blocked with both hands. Sabury's brilliant save immediately ignited the atmosphere of the Iraqi fans in the stadium, who, despite their small numbers, did not hesitate to applaud and cheer for their hero.

However, although the football is tired of getting out, it is still controlled by the Chinese team. Under the all-out attack of Shao Jiayi and others, the suppression of Iraq finally had an effect, and Iraq was almost pressed after the first half.

Towards the end of the first half, Zhang Yaokun tackled a through ball from Iraqi midfielder Hawar. The same through ball was accurately delivered to Zhang Cheng's feet.

With a time difference, Zhang Cheng ran two steps with the football. When the opposing defender came to intercept, Zhang Cheng looked to the left smartly, but he passed to the right.

The football was held by Shao Jiayi steadily, and because the defender who had just defended Zhang Cheng was shot by his pass, he was too late to defend Shao Jiayi.

Shao Jia, who got the ball, had a sharp look in his eyes, and decisively chose to break through with the ball, and now that it is the final, he also wants to go crazy.

Iraq defended him well throughout the first half, after all, Shao Jiayi's skills in the Chinese team can be regarded as one of the best. Against a player with excellent midfield skills, the slightest slack can be a mistake.

And Shao Jiayi now interprets the consequences of this kind of mistake, he just pulled and pulled, and easily passed the Iraqi defender Haji who defended him.

This feeling is cool, although he only started one game in the Asian Cup this time, but after this period of recovery, his level has returned to the peak level.

One-to-one, it's just a word of "dry"!
