Chapter 282: First Goal

After beating Australia at home, the situation in Group A is now even more confusing.

The penultimate round, which is the ninth round, may reveal all the mysteries in this round.

Uzbekistan, which was eliminated early, has a bye in this round, and the remaining four teams will go all out to win.

Japan vs. China.

The gap between the two teams is only one point, the Chinese team is 12 points, the Japanese team is 11 points, if today's game, the Chinese team wins, then the Japanese team even if the next game wins, it will not be able to catch up with the Chinese team, the same way, if the Japanese team wins, the Chinese team will miss the top two.

Similarly, Australia vs. Bahrain, if the Bahrain team loses, Bahrain will miss the top three and completely lose the chance to qualify, and if the Australian team loses, they will have to fight to the death with the Japanese team in the last game, of course, if the Chinese team loses, they have already determined the qualification.

Immediately after the match against Australia, the Chinese team flew to Japan, where they will play the final match of the top 10 match, and the victory or defeat will all be won or lost in this instant.

Now the Japanese media is also very dissatisfied, it is because of the loss to the Chinese team away from home, so the Japanese team will be so passive, this game can only win, can not lose, and even a draw cannot be tolerated.

Once the game is drawn, they will have to fight harder against Australia in the next round, and if they lose the game and Australia win, their chances will be completely lost.

In the last game of the top 10 Huaxia, Huaxia also sent a strong media lineup, and the commentators were also Huang Huo and Fan Feng.

"Today's game is very important." Huang Huo felt a little nervous.

"That's true, whether the Chinese team can successfully enter the World Cup depends on today's game, if we win, we will be able to enter the World Cup, and if we lose, we will completely miss the World Cup, and a draw will retain a glimmer of hope." Fan Feng also felt a little nervous.

The Chinese team has faced this situation many times, winning and entering the World Cup, losing and missing the World Cup, and every time the Chinese team loses in this last game.

Nobody wants that.

The Japanese team is also going to work hard now, they are even more nervous than the Chinese team, and the Chinese team can still draw, after all, the chances of the Japanese team winning against the Australian team in the next round are not very good.

And the Japanese team has to win.

Because the two countries are not far apart, there are a lot of Chinese fans who came to the scene this time, and there are also a lot of officials from the Chinese side, and Bao Gen also came to the scene, he hopes to witness Chinese football rushing into the World Cup.

The two games started at the same time, and given that the other game is at home, the odds of Bahrain wanting to win Australia are too low.

So in this game, both sides still have to hold on to the belief of winning.

"The Chinese team snatched three points from Australia in the last game, and these three points are crucial." Huang Huo still remembers the last game, the Huaxia team finally killed the opponent with a penalty.

"Yes, but I think in today's game, the difficulties of the Chinese team are not small, and the Japanese team will definitely strengthen its offensive in this game." Fan Feng knows the situation of the Japanese team, and now he can only work hard.

"So, what does Director Fan think the Chinese team should do this time to be able to win Japan?" Huang Huo asked.

"Japan has been learning from Brazil, so their style of play is short passes, but they are a little bit worse in physical confrontation, and their height is not high, I think China can do a little bit of work in terms of heading." Fan Feng said.

Everyone knows that the Japanese team is a team football, their physical fitness is not very good, they can play some team football, mainly to control the tempo.

Sure enough, at the beginning of the game, the Japanese team used their team football, constantly moving the ball, trying to break through the Chinese defense through cooperation.

The Chinese defense is quite solid, because the Japanese team's confrontation ability is not strong, so it is not very difficult for them to break through the Chinese team's defense.

"We Huaxia have never been very afraid of the Japanese team, because their physique is difficult to compare with the Chinese team." Fan Feng smiled, according to this rhythm, the Huaxia team still has a great advantage.

You must know that the physical fitness of the Chinese team may not be comparable to that of West Asian players, and even a slight gap with South Korean players, but it is still much stronger than the Japanese team.

The Japanese team found that the rhythm control after playing for a period of time did not work very well, so they also began to play a simple way of playing directly with long passes.

Competing with the Huaxia team for the top, this is simply looking for abuse.

"The Japanese team's style of play is only a good thing for the Chinese team." Fan Feng said with a smile.

"Yes, when it comes to physical fitness, the Japanese team has no solution." Huang Huo also smiled.

The long pass rush is very easy for the Chinese team to be able to defuse, and it can also play a very good counterattack.

Sure enough, after Wang Lei picked off the opponent's high-altitude ball, it was immediately passed to the front court, and the following is the opportunity for Jinfeng to perform.

Jin Feng's physical fitness is not very good, but compared with those in the Japanese team, Jin Feng's physical fitness is good, he easily got the ball, a dexterous turn, and quickly killed the Japanese team's penalty area.

Facing the opponent's goalkeeper, Jin Feng made an easy pick and hit the ball into the goal.

"In the 23rd minute of the game, the Chinese team took the lead away from home, and we are one step closer to the World Cup." Huang Huo was slightly excited.

Bao Gen, who was sitting in the box watching the game, couldn't help but clench his fists, there was no mistake in this step, and he did a very good job.

"Although we scored, we can't take it lightly, you know that the Japanese team will definitely fight back, and fight back strongly." Fan Feng said worriedly.

Of course, the Japanese team is not willing to be such a defeat, and the game is still long, and no one can guarantee that there will be no other problems in the following games.

Increase the attack, the so-called increased attack of the Japanese team is just a quick pass, but it is still a little bit worse to break through the defense of the Chinese team.

The defense of the Huaxia team is not difficult, as long as they can rely on the opponent and get stuck in the position, the Japanese players have no way, and it is difficult to get the ball.

The attacks again and again were all defused by the Huaxia team.

"The first half of the game is coming to an end, and with Jinfeng's goal, the Chinese team is now in the lead." Under Huang Huo's slightly excited words, the first half of the game was over.
