Chapter 0444 Edge OB
On July 17th, Huaguo was in the north. The Amazing Workers Stadium against Bahrain is the opening match of this Asian Cup.
Unfortunately, Zhuo Cunzhi suffered a minor injury in the pre-match training match and sat on the bench for this game.
This made the fans in the stands very unhappy, and the whole stadium shouted Zhuo Cunzhi's name, hoping that he would be able to play.
Of course, even if Zhuo Cunzhi is not injured, he will not start this game.
After all, the group stage saves effort, and his agent has already discussed it with the people above.
The fans' dissatisfaction was unexpected, especially when he heard the fans shouting his name, Zhuo Cunzhi was also a little uncomfortable.
"They all want you to play." Xie Hui sat aside and said with a smile.
"There are so many people here today." Zhuo Cunzhi glanced around, and suddenly felt that something was wrong.
"Isn't there something wrong with this number?" Zhuo Cunzhi asked, "I feel that there are more people coming than seats." ”
"Someone probably bought a fake ticket." Xie Hui didn't care.
In this era when the relevant system is not clear, it is still common to buy and sell counterfeit tickets.
When the game officially started, the sound was much quieter, and the fans were watching the game seriously.
In this game, Huaguo's opponent is just Bahrain, an opponent whose reputation and strength are not very strong.
However, in Group A, where Huaguo is located, Bahrain is already a relatively strong opponent, and compared with Indonesia and Qatar, it is still a little stronger, but compared with the Chinese team, Bahrain is still weaker.
What people didn't expect was that the attack of the Chinese team was obviously lacking, and 40 minutes passed in the first half, and they failed to break through the door of Bahrain.
The next scene made Huaguo's fans even more angry.
In the 41st minute, Huaguo surrounded the gate of Bahrain, and the corner kick attack not only failed to pose a threat, but was counterattacked by Bahrain.
Bahrain's No. 29 Khobar shot through the door of the Chinese team!
Suddenly, there was a deafening boo from the stands.
Huaguo's fans don't know if they are dissatisfied with their opponents or their own players.
Seeing this, Zhuo Cunzhi also understood that he probably still had to play in this game.
Because when the fans were booing, they didn't forget to call his name, which really made people feel complicated.
However, Alihan didn't want to let Zhuo Cunzhi play so early.
After all, Zhuo Cunzhi performed well, and it was more dependent on his personal ability.
As a manager with ideals and aspirations, Alihan also wants to prove his tactical skills.
With a score of 0:1, the Huaguo team returned to the locker room.
In the second half, the spirit of the Huaguo team changed solemnly, and the attack became more powerful.
In the 57th minute, Shao Jiayi passed a straight plug in the midfield, Yan Song passed on the left side and tried to cut inside, but was fouled by Bahrain defender Adnan for handball, and the Huaguo team got a penalty.
Zheng Zhi stood at the penalty spot and scored the ball, but the referee blew the whistle.
The referee thought that there seemed to be a player advancing the line before the penalty kick, so the penalty had to be retaken.
At the critical moment, Zheng Zhi showed his big heart and once again scored a penalty kick steadily!
1:1!
Huaguo equalized!
Soon, in the 66th minute, Shao Jiayi passed the ball, Zhou Ting cut the ball inside on the left side, and passed the ball to Li Jinyu, who pushed the far corner 8 meters before the penalty area and broke the door of Bahrain again.
2:1!
The Huaguo team overtook the score!
At this time, Alihan finally smiled, complied with the fans' wishes, and replaced Zhuo Cunzhi on the field.
It was Shao Jiayi who was substituted, who failed to score in this game, but his performance was quite double-eyed, which can be called the offensive core of the Huaguo team.
"Come on!" Shao Jiayi was full of smiles.
"Don't worry." Zhuo Cunzhi smiled lightly.
At the moment when Zhuo Cunzhi came on the field, the audience roared!
"This is the first football superstar in Huaguo!" Di Wei was taken aback by the cheers.
After Zhuo Cunzhi came on the field, he forced a breakthrough in the 73rd minute and scored the third goal of the Huaguo team, which suddenly made the cheers louder.
"That's the strength of a superstar!"
However, after taking a two-goal lead, Zhuo Cunzhi seemed to be lazy, controlling the ball and constantly rubbing time in the midfield.
The opponent is just Bahrain, there is no need to take it too seriously.
After the Asian Cup, he has to report to a new club.
If he is too tired, it will affect his performance next season.
If he fails for this reason in the first season of the giants, Zhuo Cunzhi is unacceptable.
In addition, he has injuries on his body, and there is a reason to relax.
What's more, with Zhuo Cunzhi's organizational level, even if he doesn't go all out, he can still revitalize the midfield operation of the Chinese national team.
In the 82nd minute, Zhuo Cunzhi went straight to Li Jinyu and let the latter take the ball in the penalty area, breaking through the door of Bahrain again!
4:1!
With three goals behind, Bahrain has completely lost the heart to resist!
"He's got the strength of a superstar, there's no doubt about it!" Li Jinyu, who scored twice, said excitedly.
'I'm happy with his performance, but he's not quite right and we need to control his minutes. The head coach Alihan did not look very happy, and the media only knew Zhuo Cunzhi and forgot the credit for his tactical arrangement.
"Bahrain's strength is still good, but in the end they were a little nervous, otherwise the final score would have been 3:1." Zhuo Cunzhi said lightly.
If you are not nervous, you can only get a 3:1!
Fans suddenly had a clear understanding of Zhuo Cunzhi's confidence.
And this is exactly what the Huaguo team lacks!
"After decades of silence, Chinese football has finally ushered in its savior!" Xinyu media blew up, and even Zhuo Cunzhi blushed when he saw it.
Although the performance was very good, Zhuo Cunzhi was still a little dissatisfied.
It's not that I'm not dissatisfied with the team, it's that I'm dissatisfied with the timing of the Asian Cup.
The Asian Cup was played in July-August, which was supposed to be his time off.
At the beginning of August, the Asian Cup ended, and at the end of August, he was going to report to a new club, and he was really prone to physical problems.
Japan and South Korea do not recall players from Europe, and there are also considerations in this regard, and Zhuo Cunzhi can apply for a reduction in the group stage, which is also due to this reason.
On July 21, Huaguo played against Indonesia, and Zhuo Cunzhi once again sat on the bench.
This time, perhaps because they were clearly aware of what kind of god was sitting on their bench, the players of the Huaguo team suddenly gained a lot of confidence-
Even if they don't perform well, there are still people who can save the Chinese team!
Perhaps because there is no psychological burden, the performance of the Huaguo team this time is very good.
5:0!
Hao Xiaodong, Li Yi, and Li Ming scored, and Shao Jiayi scored twice, turning Indonesia into a sieve!
After the game, someone analyzed that Zhuo Cunzhi did not play, but he brought confidence to his teammates, and he was the best in the real sense!
In this regard, Zhuo Cunzhi said: "......"
