After Lippi's bold change of formation, the Chinese team presented an overall position of 4-3-1-2 on the field, Wen Zhihao's position is equivalent to the "1" behind the double striker, and behind him Yin Hongbo, Zheng Zhi, and Huang Bowen cover the entire midfield from left to right. Zhang Linpeng and Jiang Zhipeng are more like wingbacks who attack heavily and defend lightly, often inserting them into the attack like wingers.

No domestic club has ever tried this style of play, so these players on the pitch felt unfamiliar for a while, and they didn't know what they should do on the pitch.

He Wei can understand the helplessness in Lippi's heart: "As soon as the old man Lippi came up to strengthen the midfield, it was obviously to pave the way for the decisive moment in the next twenty minutes, but this unexpected loss of the goal disrupted the overall deployment and pulled Wen Zhihao back to the middle, which is an adjustment to seek initiative in passivity." ”

PPTV commentator Huang Jianxiang was angry at Jiang Zhipeng's mistake: "This conceded goal may be a huge watershed, and the time for conceding the goal is too bad!" Too bad! ”

In the first few minutes after the restart, the Iranian team took the initiative to slow down the tempo and slowly dismantled the Chinese team's will to counterattack by controlling the ball.

Wen Zhihao felt that the three midfielders behind him were a little at a loss, especially Huang Bowen and Yin Hongbo, who wanted to get closer to him to participate in the attack, but he was afraid that the opponent would suddenly counterattack and lose his position, so he was timid, so that Wen Zhihao did not receive a comfortable pass.

Wen Zhihao hurriedly communicated with his big brother Zheng Zhi, and then called Huang Bowen and Yin Hongbo over to further clarify the division of labor: "You just stand in your own position and give the ball out." ”

His eyes were full of the domineering spirit of "believe me, I can do it", Huang Bowen naturally trusted Wen Zhihao unconditionally, and then nodded to make it clear that Yin Hongbo's international players are still young, and he will not have any objections at this time.

This scene was recorded by the live broadcast camera throughout the whole process, and both the commentators and fans sighed that the national football team, which had been sinking for many years, could wait for Wen Zhihao, a young and promising general, to be really the greatest luck.

Not to mention the results of this World Preliminaries, with Wen Zhihao's slow maturity, the prospects for the national team in the next ten years are bright.

The most valuable thing is that although Wen Zhihao is young, she is never greedy for merit on the field. For example, now, Wen Zhihao has a good tandem between the midfielder and the striker, and the respective strengths of the two forwards have been fully utilized. In particular, several passes and cuts between him and Gao Lin cleverly found a breakthrough from the side of the opposing central defender Praliganji, which made the home team fans all exclaim, and the mood was no longer so comfortable.

Iranian coach Queiroz saw that the Chinese team played exquisite cooperation in the danger zone of his side one after another, and aimed at the core of the midfield Ezatolahi is a roar, and the fool can see that Wen Zhihao is the offensive soul of the Chinese team, and he actually let Wen Zhihao continue to easily go back and forth between the two lines, Queiroz is very dissatisfied.

Ezzatorahi is a typical European midfielder, fast and accurate in attack, and likes to play physically at the defensive end, especially after the experience of the Russian Premier League, playing the Champions League and Europa League with Rostov-on-Don, he is even more confident in his physical fitness.

Wen Zhihao has been strengthening the core strength training in the Eredivisie for the past two seasons, although in the Eredivisie is still a small fast body thin type, but it is definitely enough in the Asian arena, coupled with his dexterous running and fast rhythm of the ball, just to restrain Ezatorahi's body flow style, Ezatorahi has been slower than Wen Zhihao several times by half a beat, but because he directly put down Wen Zhihao, he was shown a yellow card warning by the referee, Ezatorahi had no choice but to restrain his defensive actions, glanced at Wen Zhihao hatefully, and his eyes were full of chagrin and unwillingness.

Lippi's face slowly began to turn from gloomy to sunny, and the opponent's defense line appeared to loosen, which was a good start. And with the existence of Wen Zhihao, there is basically no need to worry about the Chinese team's offense thundering and not raining.

The change in momentum on the pitch is often a butterfly effect. The offensive end is gradually showing its power, and the defensive end is also being encouraged. In the first half, Iran's eye-catching duo of strikers Jahanbakh and Guchanejad gradually fell silent. Feng Xiaoting, the core of the defense, rushed into the midfield with the ball several times, as the first starting point of the Chinese team's attack.

Queiroz replaced Guchanejad, who had been judged in the first half by Azmoun in the 72nd minute, although the Chinese team was in the initiative for most of the time, but there was no real effect, and Queiroz hoped that Azmoun's appearance would be decisive and completely extinguish the hopes of the Chinese team.

Iranian fans cheered enthusiastically for their "Messi", and the Iranian state TV commentator prayed loudly: "Allah, bless your people, Allah~"

He Wei and the atmosphere of the scene were-for-tat: "There are twenty minutes left in the game, but the Chinese team's offensive is wave after wave, and the hope of equalizing is close at hand, boys come on!" ”

Xu Yang added with anticipation: "Come on, leave time for the Chinese team...... And many more! ”

The veteran fans in front of the TV were happy all of a sudden, and the mantra was going to change from today?

Lippi saw the momentum of the Chinese team rising, and replaced Liang Xin in the 77th minute to replace Jiang Zhipeng. Zhang Linpeng immediately recycled to the middle, and the four-back formation was changed to three central defenders, sounding the horn of the total attack at the last moment.

Less than three minutes after Liang Xin came on the field, he won a free kick in front of the Chinese team.

The televised broadcast was replaying the foul, but the next second ......

Chinese fans clearly heard He Wei and Xu Yang shouting hysterically: "Ah! Hurry! Pretty! Opportunity! Opportunity! ”

The fans immediately became excited, and the live director quickly interrupted the replay and cut the picture back to the field in real time, just in time to keep up with the first shot of the Chinese team and smashed it firmly on the crossbar.

"Bang!"

You can feel the trembling of the beams across the screen, and the hearts of the fans are shaking, and He Wei roars in disbelief: "Ah! Gao Lin! Hit on the beam...... Wen Zhihao, keep up in the back! Shoot! ”

Seeing the danger, the Iranian fans immediately created a huge boo to interfere with Wen Zhihao's follow-up shot.

But in the face of absolute strength, it is destined to be in vain.

Wen Zhihao chose to hit the ball vigorously at the top edge of the goal, this angle will not be blocked by the opposing defender, and Gao Lin's shot just now has made the opposing goalkeeper Beiranvand pounce on the ground, and the goal of the entire Iranian team is completely open to Wen Zhihao.

In the next second, the Azadi Stadium suddenly lost its voice, leaving only the Chinese team to celebrate.

1:1, the Iranian team's record of zero goals conceded in the entire round of 12 is ancient.

"The game has just entered the last ten minutes, can the lads take advantage of the victory, this is a good chance for us to break the 10-year winless streak here!"

The idea is beautiful, but the result is a little regrettable.

The two sides drew and the Chinese team pulled their teeth from the home of the Iranian team and snatched a point.

Although it did not break the embarrassing winless record at the Azadi Stadium, the team was satisfied inside and out.

The performance of the Chinese team in these two international breaks can be said to be quite good. Kehan Pingyi, who has been just a picture imagined by fans for many years, has become a reality today.

After the draw with Iran, China's points have risen to eight points at a rocketing pace, only two points behind third-placed Uzbekistan and only five points away from second-placed South Korea. Because South Korea and Uzbekistan still have a direct conversation, and both teams have a game against Iran each, it is very likely that they will not be able to get out of the game. The Chinese team has regained the initiative in their hands before the final three rounds.

In the round of 12 in March, the national football team was the most outstanding team in Asia, and the Japanese media regarded the Chinese team as the biggest spoiler, and even the South Korean media, which has always been hard-mouthed, expressed their convincing: "China actually took away a point from Iran's home stadium, and even the South Korean team did not do it." Sixteen-year-old rising star Wen Zhihao, who made South Korea suffer in the last game, helped the team grab a draw. His role is simply too obvious. In the past, China had the most second-rate Asian teams, but after having him, the Chinese team seems to have the first-class strength in Asia overnight! ”

Chinese fans are not used to such sudden compliments.

Asia's best-in-class?

Well, even if it's a mouthful of poisoned milk, the fans willingly accept it.

I don't know what will happen in the future, but as long as the hope is in my own hands, my life is up to me, which is the greatest happiness for Chinese fans.
