Chapter 123: Famous and handsome aura
Kunming Tuodong Stadium is like a pot of boiling water, from Wen Zhihao received the ball on the penalty line, it gradually began to heat up, the ball was cleverly shot, the temperature in the field has risen to a level, experienced fans have begun to raise their hands, until the ball completely hit the net, the temperature in the field has completely reached the boiling point.
Nearly 40,000 spectators jumped up from their seats at the same time and raised their arms and shouted, and the flag of the national cheering group dragon team danced wildly in the stadium, and the Chinese team did not score in three games in the top 12 matches, and was kept clean for 274 minutes, finally taking the first ice-breaking lead.
The commentators on major platforms roared wildly, coupled with the pictures of tens of thousands of people in the stadium enthusiastically chanting, which stimulated the adrenaline of fans to the greatest extent.
Wen Zhihao stood in place for two seconds, and it wasn't until all his teammates hugged him that he believed it was all real.
He scored for his country.
Wen Zhihao rushed out of the encirclement of his teammates and ran to the sidelines, knelt on the sideline of the court, faced the fans in the main stand, lowered his head and kissed the team emblem on his chest.
With the cheers of tens of thousands of people in the audience, Wen Zhihao's sense of honor of the national team that was hidden in his heart was stimulated again, and even the resentment caused by the exclusion of the national team was diluted a lot.
This goal is a wish from the bottom of Wen Zhihao's heart, and he has taken a good first step towards the World Cup that he most desires.
On the sidelines, the assistant coach of the national team, Madaloni, frantically pulled Lippi and chattered, but Lippi always had a calm and calm attitude.
While shouting praise for the goal, He Wei said: "Although the Chinese team has made a dream start, it should not be careless. Looking at Lippi's expression, the players should understand that one goal is not enough! The lads have to not let up and keep putting pressure on each other for a second or third goal, because we don't have an advantage in the position at the moment, so every goal, every goal difference is crucial for us. ”
Qatar coach Sanchez did not expect to be scored by the Chinese team at the beginning, seeing that defenders Boudiaf and Ismael were depressed, he kept making gestures with his hands up on the sidelines, signaling the players to cheer up and press the formation up.
Qatar and China have 3 and 1 points respectively in the instant standings of Group B of the Round of 12, with both sides taking each other as their ideal targets to quench their thirst. Uzbekistan, who finished third in the group, has 10 points on their books, which means that the losing side of this game has basically withdrawn from the fight for the right to qualify early.
Therefore, for Qatar, which is fighting away, there is only one way to attack and strive for goals at the moment.
Ten minutes or so after the Chinese team took the lead, Qatar still showed good offensive strength. This group of players is the team prepared by the Qatar Football Association for the 2022 World Cup, the core of the midfield Assadalah, and the striker Haydos both won the Asian Youth Championship on behalf of the Qatar national youth team in 2014, and the veteran Sebastian has been the bitter master of the Chinese team for many years. In the 2010 South Africa World Cup qualifiers, it was his penalty kick at the Water Drop Stadium that made the Chinese team dream of South Africa.
The hearts of Chinese fans immediately rose again. All veteran fans who have watched the national team for more than five years do not dare to have any confidence in the Chinese team's continuous resistance to attack.
The camera swept to the sidelines, and Lippi was still pacing back and forth on the sidelines, with an unwavering expression on his face, as if the situation on the field had long been expected by him.
In fact, the players on the field also peeked to the sidelines during this time, but Lippi always had the same expression, and the players were much more down-to-earth, at least it showed that the coach was not too dissatisfied with his performance.
Wen Zhihao took advantage of the dead ball opportunity to have a small meeting with his two midfield teammates Zheng Zhi and Wu Xi: "Two big brothers, I think it's better to follow what Old Man Pi explained, press down the rhythm, and get the ball back first, how about it?" ”
Wu Xi nodded in agreement without any opinion, Zheng Zhi looked at Wen Zhihao's expression was richer, and patted Wen Zhihao's shoulder very meaningfully.
Seeing Wen Zhihao's performance, he was very happy. The No. 10 jersey of the national team, which he has worn for ten years, can finally find a suitable successor.
At that moment, Zheng Zhimeng looked back to his sixteen-year-old youth, and he asked himself that at that age, he would definitely not be as good as Wen Zhihao today.
Today, Lippi discharged Zheng Zhi, Wen Zhihao and Wu Xi to lead the midfield, and the intention of pursuing foot control is very obvious. Wen Zhihao and Wu Xi, the two attacking midfielders, also retreated slightly, and handed the ball to the two wings to seek short passes, especially Wen Zhihao's ability to control the ball made the Qatar team's high pressing very uncomfortable, and soon the Chinese team regained the initiative in the midfield.
Huang Jianxiang, a special commentator on the online platform PPTV, is very satisfied with the selection of the Chinese team: "Our midfielders are very smart, such ball control can not only consume the opponent's physical energy, but also wear down the opponent's fighting spirit, why Barcelona's Tiki-Taka style of play can build a dream dynasty? It's the pressure that absolute control brings to the opponent. The West Asian team has always had fragile willpower, and as long as we can relax in the rhythm of the change, the opportunities will continue to come and go. ”
Many Barcelona fans think it's a bit ridiculous, comparing Barcelona with the national football team, it is estimated that this is the worst time that Barcelona has been hacked.
It may be that Huang Jianxiang defeated the character of the national football team too hard, and the Qatar team seized the passing mistake of the Chinese team's central defender Mei Fang in a blink of an eye, and Sebastian equalized the score with a strong shot.
Tuodong Stadium suddenly quieted down, and the other Chinese team players looked at Mei Fang with angry eyes, and Wen Zhihao also shook his head helplessly. The defense group is so pitted, no matter how hard the front is, it can't be brought away!
A few minutes after the score returned to balance, the Chinese team played very chaotically, and the blind long passes began to increase, He Wei hit the nail on the head and said: "Lippi may have to consider making some adjustments, and now the Chinese team's performance is the same as the two teams just now, and this situation cannot blindly expect the players to adjust themselves." ”
Almost as soon as he conceded the goal, Lippi called Mei Fang to the sidelines, and he didn't seem to have an angry expression, just simple comfort and guidance. After that, Madaloni hurriedly called Zheng Zhi over and instructed him alone.
Outsiders don't know what Lippi said, but it can be seen that after returning to the game, Lippi left the coach's bench and went directly to the sidelines to watch the game, still with that calm expression, but the performance of the players has been very stable******* Huang Jianxiang of PTV saw the contrast before and after, and said: "Every world-class coach has a unique temperament that can influence the players." Standing on the sidelines like a commander, Lippi can give the players a cushion and stimulate the players to play to the maximum combat effectiveness. This was something that no previous foreign teacher had had, and Lippi used his handsome aura to save the situation from a situation that might be heading for collapse. But now there needs to be someone to step up, and only the lead in the score can really stabilize everyone's mind. ”
According to the division of labor of the three midfielders of the Chinese team, Zheng Zhi is mainly responsible for the interception and tandem of the backfield, while Wu Xi's strength lies in the back attack, and Wen Zhihao is the core of the Chinese team's organization on the field. However, the Qataris have a long and wise mind, and the hard power of Assadalah and Budiaf can't prevent Wen Zhihao, and they don't hesitate to use big moves to scramble fouls to deter. Even if he was repeatedly warned by the referee, his actions did not restrain much.
This is also the scheming of Qatari head coach Alexis Sanchez. found out the penalty scale of the referee on duty who only blew the whistle and did not take out the card, and exerted psychological deterrence on Wen Zhihao. As long as Wen Zhihao was afraid of being violated and did not dare to devote himself to the offensive organization as he wanted, his goal would be achieved.
