When the referee blew the whistle at the end of the half, the frustration was written on the face of every Chinese fan on the scene and in front of the screen, but I didn't expect that at the end of the half, the Chinese team would be the backward side, and the Chinese team had too many crosses from the side today, and the penetration and cooperation in the middle that made everyone pleasing to everyone before was significantly reduced. It's completely the same as the national football team of Kehan Pinyi two months ago.

Of course, this has a lot to do with Wen Zhihao's fact that he was basically limited at half-time. Zheng Zhi was absent, and Wen Zhihao was missing someone who could control the rhythm with him.

Commenting on the first half, He Wei pointed out the outstanding problems of the Chinese team's attack: "The Chinese team's midfield organization still relies too much on Wen Zhihao's running tandem. As soon as the opponent compresses his space as he did today, he will need a second ball on the pitch to help him organize. In the case that Zheng Zhi is unable to play, who can play this role is a difficult problem in front of Lippi. ”

China must score at least once in the second half. Picking up a point away from home is the lowest bottom line. Lippi showed his boldness in the half-time lounge. Directly let Guangzhou R&F's high school striker Xiao Zhi prepare for the game, replace Huang Bowen, add a stagnation point in the penalty area, and change the formation to 4-4-2, which is more simple and direct.

Syria basically gave up the positional attack after taking the lead, so at the beginning of the second half, the overall position of the Chinese team was very forward. Feng Xiaoting was pressed near the arc of the middle circle, Wen Zhihao and Huang Bowen actually took on the responsibility of double forward midfield, close to the offensive line to organize the attack, and decisively counterattacked as soon as they lost the ball.

This set of six-man pressing and siege tactics in the front court made it difficult for the Syrians to adapt for a while, especially the high school striker Xiao Zhi, who was nailed around the opponent's penalty area, and the opponent's two central defenders Saleh and Ajan were at a disadvantage in height and size, especially in the high-altitude ball competition, and the two of them may not be able to take advantage of the combined efforts. Wen Zhihao has been wandering around the opponent's penalty area, patiently looking for loopholes exposed by the opponent's continuous pressure.

He Wei is very satisfied with the current offensive situation of the Chinese team: "The will to fight of the West Asian team has always been an Achilles' heel, the Chinese team will definitely find opportunities if they continue to play like this, Wen Zhihao has been swimming back and forth around the big penalty area, his teammates should give him more balls, and his finishing ability is the least doubtful." ”

Syria coach Hakim also kept gesturing at midfielder Midani, his facial expression was distorted because he yelled too hard, and seeing Wen Zhihao have such a free space to move in the second half, sweat was oozing in his palms every minute and every second, which was diametrically opposed to the tactics he emphasized in the midfield.

To everyone's surprise, however, it was Syria itself that really changed the situation.

The game came to the 63rd minute, and the Syrian midfielder Nakdali, who had just been replaced, took the ball with Zhang Linpeng's back and stretched out his feet recklessly without attacking threat. "Gift Exchange" also awarded the Chinese team an excellent equalizer penalty, and Hakim on the sidelines directly covered his face and fell, and he had already greeted Nakdali's whole family in his heart.

The Chinese fans in surprise clearly heard the high-fives, and after a brief release of joy, He Wei and Xu Yang shouted at the camera: "Penalty!" Penalty kick! This surprise is really just in time, the opportunity is just around the corner, and the time has come to test ourselves. ”

Several players of the Chinese team got together for the first time, and Wen Zhihao was among them.

"Who's coming?"

"Come on, Zhihao, isn't it arranged like this during training, he is basically as stable as a dog, and he can be relied on at this time." Gao Lin put forward the first choice that everyone was looking forward to.

Wen Zhihao planned to send a favor at this time: "I think it's better to let Brother Plane come, he is originally a striker and a big brother, this kind of scoring opportunity should be given." ”

Gao Lin didn't expect Wen Zhihao to mention his nickname at this time, and just wanted to speak again, Wen Zhihao rushed in front of him and said: "If you can't get in, don't blame me for calling you Brother Airplane for the rest of my life." ”

The referee came over to urge the penalty players to hurry up to the penalty spot, Gao Lin could only give Wen Zhihao a middle finger in his heart and face the goalkeeper hard.

"Oh? Gao Lin...... Let's see if he can withstand the pressure, come on! He Wei was a little surprised by the choice of penalty.

The fans suddenly felt a sense of uneasiness in their hearts. I can't help but start complaining about Lippi's arrangement. Why can't you trust Wen Zhihao?

Still feel too young?

Lippi also frowned on the sidelines, this change was also not in his plan, assistant Maddaloni asked, Lippi waved his hand, and looked at the field in a calm mood.

The close-up can see Gao Lin standing on the penalty spot, with words in his mouth, and as the referee's whistle sounds, he begins to run, touch the ball, and shoot.

Half a second later......

"The ball is in! Entered! Gao Lin!! The score became 1:1! He Wei breathed a long sigh of relief and shouted wantonly.

Gao Lin clenched his fists and roared to celebrate that he had broken the national team's goal drought. It was a crucial kick that would make him a hero after tonight and fight back against all doubts.

With half an hour left, the game is finally back on track, and Wen Zhihao still needs to lead his teammates to win.

In the seventy-fifth minute, Wu Xi received a header from Xiao Zhi in the penalty area, and half-turned to shovel the goal. In less than ten minutes, the score changed from 0:1 to 2:1, and the Chinese team overtook it!

At this moment, all the media and fans are completely boiling, this is the national team with Wen Zhihao! In the eyes of foreign media, it can compete with Asia's first-class national football team! Domineering! Proud! Old fans gradually regained their passion for watching the Chinese team kill in the top 10 matches in 2001.

After taking the lead, with fifteen minutes left, He Wei and Xu Yang kept reminding the Chinese team to slow down the pace of attack and keep the fruits of victory.

Wen Zhihao didn't think so in his heart, a one-goal lead, not insurance.

In the 84th minute, Wen Zhihao counterattacked with the ball, seeing that the entire Syrian defense line was not retreating in time, everyone was fighting and retreating, glanced at the goal, took a step from the top of the arc of the big penalty area, and directly kicked the goal vigorously.

"Zhihao is going to shoot? We just said that we want to control ...... at this time" Before He Wei finished speaking, Xu Yang immediately turned on the passionate mode: "Oh! Oh, my God! Wow! World Wave! Wen Zhihao is really out of the ordinary. The Chinese team locks up the win! ”

Xu Yang had already finished saying everything He Wei wanted to say, but He Wei thought about it and smiled: "The artist is bold!" There are perhaps only three players in the world who are 2-1 up in their own team, and at the end of the game, they choose not to go to the corner flag and choose to score a long-range goal to kill the game. One is Messi, the other is Ronaldo, and the third person is born at this moment! He is Wen Zhihao! ”

"As long as you can score, all options are reasonable!"

After the game, the media excerpted He Wei's commentary, and Wen Zhihao was confused and on an equal footing with the two great football kings in the world.

……

After the end of the Chinese team's game, in the same group game held a little later, Iran defeated Uzbekistan 2:0 at home, and the South Korean team encountered stubborn resistance from Qatar away and lost 2:3.

There has been a change in the standings that the media and fans love the most. The Chinese team has 11 points with 3 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses, and has surpassed Uzbekistan with 10 points and Syria with 9 points to rise to third in Group A. The second-place South Korean team has 13 points and is only one goal ahead of the Chinese team.

Competing for direct qualification for the top two places in the group has become a realistic goal for Lippi's coaching staff on the agenda.

The final two matches will be played at the end of August and the beginning of September, with China playing Uzbekistan at home and Qatar away.
