Chapter 177: Summoning a Goal (Ask for Collection!) )

The opening kick-off almost hit the ball was not only a boost to the players, but also the emotions of the fans, and in a professional stadium like the Caliphate, the spectator stand was closer to the pitch, which had the advantage that the fans' momentum could be accepted by the players to the maximum.

For the Chinese team, which has a larger number of attendees, this is a rare benefit for the away team, and the Qatari players feel the huge pressure. The area where Chinese fans gather is the grandstand in the middle of the stadium, so the contrast is especially strong when the two sides serve the sideline ball. The players of the Chinese team felt the cheers of the fans ringing rhythmically in their ears, and the passion and enthusiasm of the whole body were stimulated. When it was Qatar's turn, the loud boos of the Chinese fans at close range seemed to pierce their eardrums.

When Lippi was still the coach of Guangzhou Evergrande, he won a 4:1 away victory in Doha, the knockout round of the AFC Champions League. The opponent is Lekhvia. In today's game, Lippi borrowed the winning formula from that game, hoping to win it in the opening moment. That big win over Evergrande was to win two cities in the opening fifteen minutes, destroying the opponent's confidence in counterattacking in one fell swoop.

In the opening stage, Wen Zhihao's position was very forward, almost parallel to the forward arrow Gao Lin. The position of Zheng Zhi and Zhao Xuri also came to the opponent's half, and they were very smart to force the Qatari central defender Ali, who had relatively little experience in the game, and the effect was obvious, the Chinese team broke the ball in front of the penalty area many times, and the continuous offensive made Qatar's goalkeepers and defenders scramble. In front of the TV, the hearts of Chinese fans slowly calmed down a little, and in the first ten minutes, the national team had already occupied an absolute advantage, and it seemed that it was a matter of minutes to take the lead.

Wen Zhihao was not a bright spot on the field during this time, and there were not even many opportunities to get the ball, more of a continuous one-kick pass and tandem in the front court. In the case of the team's dominance, Wen Zhihao is actually not a person who is very greedy for the ball, he prefers to be a conveyor belt on the field, delivering the ball to the most core and comfortable position, and helping his teammates score.

Wen Zhihao did not stick to the ball on the court, and continued to run immediately after a pass, forcing the Qatari defender who was in charge of marking him Boudiaf to be like a punch on cotton, and the feeling of not being able to make it strong made him very uncomfortable. Before the game, the head coach arranged for him to follow Wen Zhihao closely throughout the game, and Wen Zhihao scored a goal in front of him in the first meeting, and his obviously better performance in the whole game made him remember the young yellow-skinned Chinese. Before the game, Sanchez told him that Wen Zhihao was already a member of Atletico Madrid, and even made him vow to lock Wen Zhihao.

Think about it and let the Atletico Madrid players have nothing to do on the field, this should be the capital that you can blow for a lifetime, right?

Qatar's Al Jazeera commentary was impassioned: "Karim Boudiaf did a good job! I didn't see any performance from Wen, the most dangerous player in the Chinese team, and this is all due to him. ”

Only Budiaf knows the embarrassment and helplessness he faces. On the surface, Wen Zhihao really doesn't play much, but he has nothing to do with himself. He felt that he had been walked like a dog for ten minutes, Wen Zhihao was relaxed on the field, he could only follow Wen Zhihao around, but he couldn't foul yet, because Wen Zhihao didn't take the ball at all, and if he really wanted to be caught by the referee, he could only suffer from it, and he couldn't get any benefits.

The baby's heart is bitter! This is a true portrayal of Budiaf's psychology at this time. He still retains a shred of sanity and sobriety, but it doesn't bring him anything - except that he continues to be led by Wen Zhihao like a dog.

Wen Zhihao's limited few passes on the field are not tricky, there is no wonderful pass that can make the commentary and the audience applaud, but when the team holder is surrounded by the opponent's defense, Wen Zhihao's quick response and pass, either back to the back, or a long pass to the opposite side, these passes seem to be commonplace, but after Wen Zhihao passed this kick, the situation of the Chinese team immediately opened up, he is like a Go master, strategizing, looking at the overall situation, only one son, can break the siege of ten thousand troops.

A first-class midfielder, whose presence is usually difficult to detect on the pitch, can activate the whole team in the simplest way. Wen Zhihao's scheduling and tempo control allowed the Chinese team to control the absolute possession advantage and fully activate the Chinese team as a whole, Zheng Zhi and Zhao Xuri hit the Qatar post twice in a minute with a sudden long-range shot from the periphery.

He Wei repeatedly exclaimed the bad luck of the Chinese team: "The goal on the left side seems to be covered, and the Chinese team has at least four chances to score in the past 20 minutes, but all of them have been blocked." The last step of the Chinese team into Russia is not only to fight with people, but also to fight with the sky. Steady, though! Now the score between South Korea and Uzbekistan is still 0:0, and the initiative is still on our side. Now the Chinese team only needs one goal to become the last straw that crushes the opponent! ”

Chinese fans in front of the TV always feel a little uneasy, there is no advantage in the score, and it is always difficult for everyone's heart to return to their stomachs. A sudden change on the field is an instantaneous thing, and the Chinese team has not had such inexplicable mistakes in the past. There is a Wen Zhihao in front of him, and it is difficult to stop his own defense group from taking the initiative to send the pit!

Fans who are a little more expert can see that Wen Zhihao's photogenic rate today is very low, but Yu Hanchao, who has made several sharp breakthroughs on the side, is extremely expressive and was praised by He Wei.

Of course, because the Chinese team has a clear advantage on the field, Wen Zhihao will not be too dissatisfied with any choice. This level of competition is originally a pair of 100 right and 100 wrong. The overall performance of the national team is only one goal away from perfection.

In the entire first half, Qatar only tested Zeng Cheng with a long-range shot in the 40th minute. The core of the midfield, Asadala, counter-attacked with a long-range shot that pressed on the line of the big penalty area, and Zeng Cheng jumped up with one palm to lift the ball off the crossbar. After making this save, Zeng Cheng was slightly excited and shouted at Asadala twice. I was finally able to move my muscles and bones.

The score of 0:0 lasted until the end of the half, which was a slightly regrettable result for the fans. But Lippi is not very satisfied, the manager thinks about the big picture. Failing to rewrite the score is not a total strategic victory.

On the way back to the dressing room, Lippi got another report from the fight. The half-time between South Korea and Uzbekistan ended with the same 0:0 as the Chinese team. However, the two sides were basically open on the field, with one shot each hitting the post and crossbar.

This half-time result means that Chinese football is still 45 minutes away from entering the World Cup for the second time!
