January 12, 2016, Abdullah Bin Khalifa Stadium, Doha, Qatar.

Group A of the Asian U23 Championship, Qatar U23 vs. China U23.

Huaguo U23's lineup is striker Yue Heng, midfielder Cai Rongyu, flanked by Wu Xinghan and Liao Lisheng, backed by Xu Xin and Zhou Bo, four defenders are Mi Haolun, Zhou Zhaolin, Wei Ran, Yu Hui, and goalkeeper is Lu Yiming.

The squad surprised the players, who thought there shouldn't be just five of the Under-17s, both in terms of coach and quality. The strength of Fan Sheng, Chen Pu, Sun Letian, and Xia Jixuan, who did not play, is no worse than their competitors.

So even the domestic players who didn't play looked at head coach Rong Yu with full gratitude.

The watered site was hit by a rare shower, and it became a little muddy. The wet grass made the ball quicker, making it more difficult to handle and stop the ball, and there were a few mistakes at the start of the game, but it wasn't too big a problem and both sides got used to it quickly.

Huaguo U23's adaptation speed surprised the opponent a little, and watering to speed up the ball speed was aimed at the rough technical problems of Huaguo players, but Huaguo U23 made some mistakes at the beginning, but they were all on the side and did not form a big danger.

After quickly adapting to it, Huaguo U23 did not have some long passes and charges from the previous game, and always insisted on passing on the ground.

In the 7th minute, Zhou Bo distributed the ball to Wu Xinghan on the left side, and he broke through Qatar's Madibo and Mohamed in succession, penetrated the left side and then crossed the bottom.

The team itself requires that after the breakthrough, they must dare to cut inward and form a cooperation in the penalty area, but after Wu Xinghan made a continuous breakthrough, he subconsciously followed the feeling as soon as he was excited.

His bottom cross made Yue Heng very uncomfortable, originally to cooperate with him, Yue Heng pulled out of the penalty area to the right side, and pulled out the empty crotch for Wu Xinghan, who was cut inside, and Cai Rongyu, who was inserted. Suddenly saw him cross, so he had to quickly turn around and run in front of the goal, fortunately, Wu Xinghan's pass was relatively high, the ball speed was slower, and the pass was not far from Yue Heng at the back point, so he should still be able to grab the landing point.

The Qatar team was taken out by Yue Heng with two defenders, and the penalty area was a little empty, and Yue Heng's sudden run back left Yasir and Hassan behind, and the back point was empty.

And Yashir was apprehensive about Yue Heng's header ability in the scramble a few minutes ago, and he didn't have time to think about anything, so he directly grabbed Yue Heng.

Yue Heng's body was strong, and even if he was pulled by Yasir, he continued to rush forward. Seeing that Yue Heng had already stepped into the penalty area with one foot, and there were still signs of fighting, Yashir stretched out another hand, holding one hand and pulling the other hand, pulling Yue Heng down.

The referee's free kick penalty made the Huaguo players very dissatisfied, and when they reached out to hug Yue Heng, they were already in the penalty area, and they fell to the ground in the penalty area.

Lin Wenlei, who was standing on the sidelines, ignored Rong Yu's angry yelling at the fourth official at this time, but explained to the bench:

"It's okay to complain, but you can't mess up your own heart, you can't expect the referee to be all blue in other people's home stadiums..."

On the field, Bola passed the excited teammates, stopped the argument before the referee showed the cards, and arranged for Liao Lisheng to take a free throw.

Even though the referee ran over and gave Rong Yu a yellow card, Zhou Bo ignored it and chatted calmly with Liao Lisheng:

"Everything else has nothing to do with us, penalties and free kicks are the same... Their goalkeeper Naeem is not good at getting into the bottom corner, how can he play well?"

With Zhou Bo's words, Liao Lisheng also focused on the free kick, thought about it and said:

"Somebody has to carry it on the edge of the wall..."

After Zhou Bo finished the exchange, he went to find Yue Heng and asked him to be responsible for squeezing into the human wall.

Liao Lisheng calmly threw a big arc, flew over the wall at Yue Heng, who was crouching, and then bounced the court in the lower corner of the near corner and flew into the goal.

Qatar's most famous players of the right age in China, Gao Xidi and Bloomberg, have been regarded as the weakest team in the group after they were not selected for the U23s. Last year's U23 West Asia Cup, it was Iran and Syria in the same group that knocked them out, and it was very difficult for them to qualify from the group to lose points on the Chinese U23s, so this goal made them particularly excited.

After the restart, Qatar pressed very high, even if their strategy was to be a late attack, but they wanted to equalize as soon as possible.

Even though the Chinese U23s defended their attack, the Qatari team pressed in the half, hoping to counter-attack by pressing the ball up front. They knew that Huaguo U23 and the national team would panic as soon as they were pressing, and thought that this was their chance.

However, the afterglow holding the ball in the backcourt did not go as they wanted, not only did not make a long pass, but also pushed the ball to Zhou Zhaolin, who received him.

Without waiting for Qatar striker Moaz Ali to entangle Zhou Zhaolin, he pushed the ball to Zhou Bo outside the penalty area.

Zhou Bo did not stop the ball or turn around under the push of Qatari defender Moeain, and directly knocked his heel into the center circle.

Cai Rongyu, who responded in the middle circle, was also with his back, and he didn't stop the ball, and directly picked up the ball behind him.

The ball was passed to the right side, directly over the Qatari back line, on the right side Liao Lisheng with tacit understanding, Cai Rongyu passed the ball when he had completed the start, after the ball flew over the defense line, Liao Lisheng took advantage of the Qatari players to turn around, to get the football first, and then to the middle is a ground ball cross. The ball rolls around Hassan and Yasser to the middle.

Yue Heng kept jogging in the middle, and deliberately brought a little diagonal line, and immediately accelerated after Liao Lisheng's pass, and left the Qatari defense behind him in a few steps.

In the minds of Yasser and Qatar players before, Yue Heng was a tall and sturdy big center with a good header, and he would suddenly start to know that his speed was actually very fast.

But, it's too late...

Yue Heng just pushed forward when he caught up with the football, accelerated again, and rushed to the front of the Qatar penalty area in just a few seconds. The defenders were left far behind, with only goalkeeper Naeem in front of him who had rushed out of the box.

The players who are chasing back Kataka also have to pay attention to an arc lined up, Mi Haolun, Wu Xinghan, Cai Rongyu and Liao Lisheng, who are all accelerating forward, and they dare not chase with all their strength to miss the connection point, and the speed of the recovery is not fast.

Yue Heng actually used Ronaldo's signature move in the face of the goalkeeper in the run-pendulum pass. After repeated analysis and correction in Turner's laboratory, the movements were very coordinated, and it was difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood in Naim's eyes, and his body involuntarily followed the rapid change of center of gravity twice, and he could no longer control his fall to the ground.

After Yue Heng saw him fall to the ground, he pushed the ball to the side, and his body also bypassed in front of Naim's hand, caught up with the football and pushed it directly, and then confidently turned around to celebrate with his teammates.

After passing through Naee, many Qatari players stood with their waists crossed, only looking at the football with some anticipation in their eyes, and then, disappointed...

14 minutes, 0:2.

After that, the Qatar team did not dare to press on it anymore, and the offense was trembling, for fear of being counterattacked again. Good Chinese

In addition, the defensive actions have become particularly rough, especially against Wu Xinghan, who is good at breaking through, and the fouls are all with the meaning of revenge and venting, and he directly shovels with the ball. At the same time, Cai Rongyu was treated like this, as well as Zhou Bo and others who were still in the backfield.

The referee often turned a blind eye to these actions, and at most awarded a free-kick in the middle of the field when he was away from the penalty area.

Under the persuasion of Zhou Bo and Cai Rongyu, Huaguo U23 was very restrained, and in the 39th minute, Zhou Bo scored a wonderful free kick from a distance of 27 or 8 meters on the left side, after which the Qatar team was relatively restrained in their own half.

After conceding the third goal, the Qatar team immediately brought their prepared back-up Asadalah into the field early.

However, the score never changed in the first half, 0:3, and the Qatar team fell behind Huaguo U23 by a large score at home.

At the beginning of the second half, Wu Xinghan was kicked to the ground by Qatari defender Yasser after a breakthrough, but the referee only gave a free kick and did not give Yasser a second yellow card.

Later, in a scramble, Wu Xinghan also kicked Yashir with a bit of revenge, causing a large-scale clash between the two teams. may have signed with himself to let go of so many rough fouls by the Qatar team, the South Korean referee touched the pocket of his shorts, and then took out a yellow card from his jacket pocket and gave it to Wu Xinghan and Xu Xin.

After the conflict, Rong Yu and Lin Wenlei were very nervous, but the referee should consider that in the current AFC, Huaguo is no longer an object that can be unscrupulous, so he finally didn't do too much.

As soon as the conflict ended, Rong Yu replaced the two who ate cards with Xie Pengfei and Fan Sheng, replaced Liao Lisheng to the back, and Fan Sheng was in charge of Assadala, who was somewhat active in the Qatar team.

In the following games, every time the Qatar team committed a malicious foul, Fan Sheng would quickly retaliate against their baby Asadala.

It just so happens that Hasadala likes to dribble the ball, and every time Fan Sheng's ferocious shovel with the ball is a sideline ball, although it brings conflicts every time, the referee does not dare to give him a second yellow card easily.

In this way, the game was played intermittently for the second half, and in the end, the Qatar team did not recover the score, and did not dare to risk the risk of core injury and then commit a rough foul.

On the afternoon of January 15, in the second game of the Huaguo U23 group stage against Syria U23, the Huaguo team sent a lineup of striker Chen Pu, midfielders Cai Rongyu, Xie Pengfei, Liu Binbin, Liao Lisheng, Fan Sheng, defenders Mi Haolun, Xia Jixuan, Wei Ran, Yu Hui, and goalkeeper Lu Yiming.

After the victory in the first game, the Huaguo U23 players tasted the sweetness of playing in an orderly manner, and they were more willing to organize, pass and run through the core during training, which was also the case at the beginning of this game.

The fast, fluid passing made it impossible for Syria to play to their physical advantage, and in the 10th minute of the first half, Chen Pu headed home from a corner.

Then in the 4th minute of the second half, Chen Pu returned the ball in the penalty area, and Liao Lisheng followed up with a world wave and shot directly into the upper right corner, 2:0.

In this game, the core of the backfield was played by Liao Lisheng. Although his backcourt combing is occasionally misunderstood, because he understands the rhythm and thinking of domestic players better, the passing is more threatening. He was running all over the pitch and he was very impressive after playing with confidence.

In the third round, Qatar won 2-1 against Iran in the second round and Syria 4-2 in the afternoon match. In the last game, Huaguo U23 can qualify as the first place in the group as long as it draws, and as long as it does not lose more than 5 goals, it can also qualify.

Some media proposed any defensive counterattacks and drills, but the Huaguo U23 coaching staff simply ignored these and sent the best lineup that could be arranged.

Forward Yue Heng, midfielders Cai Rongyu, Xie Pengfei, Fan Sheng, Liao Lisheng, Zhou Bo, defenders Wang Tong, Zhou Zhaolin, Wei Ran, Yu Hui, goalkeeper Lu Yiming.

Huaguo U23, which is getting smoother and smoother, can complete basic passing and control under pressing and physical confrontation, and the whole team is running around them under the leadership of Cai Rongyu and Zhou Bo. The passing distance is very close, and because there are many passing routes to choose from running, there will be no panic and the passing success rate is relatively high.

The Iranian team fought with their backs and wanted to eat Huaguo U23 in one bite at the beginning. Huaguo U23 is not in a hurry, and in the face of the Iranian team's pressing, it is not in a hurry to carry out the pass control, consuming the opponent's patience and physical strength.

There are two players who can control the ball, Zhou Bo and Cai Rongyu, and when they are pressed, they will be handed over to them to reorganize, and the players have clear goals, and basically there is no panic.

After stabilizing their mentality, the Chinese players gradually found the feeling of controlling the game as their coaches and teammates in Europe, and it became easier and easier to follow Cai Rongyu's train of thought.

The relaxation of the mind also brings the relaxation of the body, the handling of the ball without inexplicable mistakes, and the success rate of passing and breaking through is getting higher and higher.

The Iranian team players became more and more impatient, and several fouls were severely punished, and the two yellow cards understood the direction of the wind, and they had to continue to follow the ball blindly to catch up.

"Heh, this referee is good, much stronger than the stick in the first game..."

On the bench, Chen Pu praised the referee as soon as he saw that it was fair, but was pointed at his head and ridiculed by Lin Wenlei:

"It's good to have time to look at the points situation and use your brain..."

Sun Letian finally found an opportunity to laugh at Chen Pu, who was still a little confused:

"This has to be fair, we have two wins, six points and five goal difference, Qatar six points and zero goal difference, Iran three points and one goal difference. As long as you don't win us by 6 goals, you have to win 1 home team to GG, understand that there is no ?..."

Wu Xinghan, who had a deep grudge against the first game, brightened his eyes and proposed:

"Why don't we release the water?..."

"No way, even though all of Asia is our bitter master, then I am not in the habit of letting go of enemies."

The Huaguo U23 team has been slowing down the pace of the game, which is also unbearable for Iran, and even the backfield players have begun to join the pressing team, and the formation is getting more and more pressed.

There were no quick counter-attacks since the opening kick-off, and they let their guard down.

In the 28th minute, the Iranian team stole a pass between Liao Lisheng and Zhou Bo, and then shot three times in a row to create a great threat, as if the goal was in front of them, and even the central defenders stood on the middle line to press the assist at any time.

Zhou Zhaolin grabbed control of the ball in the penalty area, and then cleared the ball with a big kick as if to kick the ball to the Iranian backfield.

In the panic, Yue Heng had already started quickly, and after changing the line, he dodged the pull of Iranian central defender Cheshmi, crossed the center line in an instant, accelerated and accelerated.

Yue Heng caught up with the football before the Iranian U23 goalkeeper Achbari who ran outside the penalty area, and then began to rush towards Achbari, who was retreating in a hurry.

Ashbari, who retreated to the penalty area, realized that he could not retreat any further, turned to stare at the football and was ready to pounce......
