In the new year, when the Chinese Football Association carried out reforms, Qiu Suhui got married, and Yang Pan found the love of his life, another major event gradually approached.

At the draw ceremony for the quarterfinals of the Asian Qualifiers for the World Cup in Germany in December last year, CCTV5 broadcast the whole process because it was related to whether the Chinese team could appear in Germany in 2006. Everyone remembers what a wonderful grouping situation we had in 2001.

Prior to the draw, eight teams were divided into four tiers based on their results in the 2002 World Cup qualifiers. The seeded teams are South Korea and Benz, China and Saudi Arabia are in Pot 2, Iran and Bahrain are in Pot 3, and Uzbekistan and North Korea are in Pot 4.

The South Korean team is the seeded team of Azu, and the group B is the one who is the one.

When Verappan showed everyone a small note of "China" in his hand, the expressions on the faces of Chen Wei and Qiu Suhui were not very natural.

After the Asian Cup final, the Chinese team met again in an important event.

"It's not that enemies don't get together!" Chen Wei whispered a wry smile to Qiu Suhui, and Qiu Suhui nodded in agreement.

As soon as Ali Khan saw that it was Ben, he immediately remembered the unpleasant scene half a year ago, and his originally smiling face was pulled down.

They looked at Villapan's smile, and they all thought of "annihilating laughter".

In the end, China, along with Babea, Bahrain and North Korea, were placed in Group B.

This grouping has also caused a lot of repercussions in China, and being with the team is a topic of hype in itself.

In fact, compared with Group A, the situation in Group B is relatively clearer. There are 4.5 quota places for Asia at this World Cup in Germany, and the top two teams in each group will go directly to Germany, leaving the best group third and Oceania to compete for another spot.

From a sober analysis, the current environment of Chinese football is developing in a good direction, but the strength of the national team is still not satisfactory. Neither Bahrain nor North Korea are easy opponents to deal with, and the gap between Bahrain and North Korea, let alone this, is not a day or two. Therefore, the most ideal situation for the Chinese team to qualify is behind Yueben, the second in the group, and the four games against Bahrain and North Korea, and the game against Yueben is not lost.

But on the other hand, the reform of the Football Association has just begun, and a victory is urgently needed to give everyone hope and optimism. Therefore, there is absolutely no room for loss in the game with Yuben.

In view of this pressure, Ali Khan recalled all the overseas legions, and said that the match with his own team would not start until March 20, and these returnees rushed back as soon as they finished their respective leagues.

Yang Pan, Zhang Jun, An Ke, Wang Hui, Shao Jiaying, Li Yi, and even young soldiers like Li Yongle were called back. Ali Han wanted to be more secure in terms of staffing, while Qiu Suhui was thinking about letting Li Yongle and An Ke undergo training. At the same time, it also plays a certain role in helping them in the competition of their respective clubs, after all, they are members of the national team!

※※※

The first game was on February 9, the first day of the Lunar New Year, and the game with North Korea, he wanted to use his excellent performance to send a Spring Festival gift to Sophie and his family, but as a result, he sat on the bench for a full 90 minutes, watching Yang Pan an assist to help the Chinese team defeat North Korea 1:0 at home.

North Korea, the weakest group of the small victory, and Zhang Jun, who has a lot of voice, did not even play for a minute, which caused a lot of dissatisfaction among the domestic media and fans.

The game was won, but the process did not reflect the difference in strength between the two teams. If it weren't for Yang Pan's almost savage forced breakthrough on the right flank, the game would have been a draw.

In this game, Ali Han's national team once again exposed the problem that the striker will not score, and in the face of North Korea's dense defense, the Chinese team has little to do except rely on Shao Jiaying and Yang Pan's side crosses from left to right.

Some media questioned after the game why Ali Han did not let Zhang Jun play when the striker could not score a goal, and Ali Han explained that it was because Zhang Jun was not in the best physical condition. But this explanation is too far-fetched, because Zhang Jun scored a goal in the game just before his return to help Warrendam win at home, and he also showed good form in training when he returned.

Qiu Suhui knows why. Ali Han doesn't like Zhang Jun's "lazy" style of play on the court, and he can't stand that there are people in the team who don't defend except for "Demon Knife" Hao Haidong. And Zhang Jun never returned to defense in Warrendam, and after three years, he has long been used to playing like this, and it is impossible for him to make changes all of a sudden.

That's the contradiction.

Let Zhang Jun enter the national team is forced by the pressure of the Football Association, but it is the head coach who has the final say whether to let him play.

For this reason, Qiu Suhui once quarreled with Ali Khan, but this stubborn old Dutch man did not accept his opinion at all. Qiu Suhui himself is now just an assistant coach, and he has no power to decide who is on and who is not.

Zhang Jun himself was helpless, if he didn't play for the country, he didn't want to take a plane for more than ten hours, and he would sit on the bench as a spectator for half a day. He hated being a spectator the most in his life, and from high school to the National Olympics, he was fed up with being a spectator at critical moments.

If it weren't for Qiu Suhui as a buffer, he might have fallen out with Ali Khan a long time ago. In terms of scoring ability, he is much better than Li Yiming, who will only waste opportunities on the field, why is he the main substitute and he is a third-line substitute?

Because of the presence of Mi Lu as a reference in front, Zhang Jun has always disliked Ali Han very much, and felt that this coach was very charismatic. Now he doesn't like it even more.

But this time the national team called him up again, and he agreed without saying a word. No matter what Ali Khan does to him, being able to wear the jersey of the national team and playing for his country has always been a dream that he can't give up. As long as it is the call of the Chinese team, he cannot refuse.

※※※

Instead of returning home, the returnees flew directly to the national team, where they met up with the national team and prepared for the qualifiers to be held at the Tokyo National Stadium on the 25th.

After Zhang Jun finished training, he was blocked by reporters in the hotel lobby. With his presence in the national team, the conflict surrounding him and Ali Khan has been brought up again.

"Zhang Jun, can you play this game?"

"You'll have to ask the coach."

"Zhang Jun, let's talk about Ali Han!"

"There's nothing to talk about."

"Then talking about the game, how sure do you think the Chinese team will win?"

Zhang Jun stopped in front of the elevator, he was waiting for the elevator, and reporters took the opportunity to surround him.

"Win? I don't know, it's the home field, and the advantage is greater. I just knew it was going to be a tough game. Zhang Jun said this with anger in his heart, because from today's training, he once again learned that he would not be a starter.

"Ding!" With a bang, the elevator opened, and out of it came head coach Ali Han! Jang Jun immediately lowered his head and went inside, and Han also walked straight out as if he didn't see him.

As soon as the reporters saw that the second protagonist was coming, they immediately pounced on Ali Khan again.

"Ali Han, can Zhang Jun play this game?"

“……”

"Mr. Ali Han, let's talk about Zhang Jun! Do you have any thoughts on him? ”

“……”

"So let's talk about this game?"

“……”

……

Zhang Jun stood alone in the elevator, watching the door slowly close, and Ali Han's figure gradually disappeared from his field of vision. The moment the door closed, a hand reached in and stopped.

Li Yongle sighed as he watched the elevator door close again. "Finally caught up, whew!"

Zhang Jun looked at him panting: "What are you doing?" The last elevator has to be rushed, sneaky. ”

"Ah, you don't know, those reporters. I'm a supporting role, and they all have to block me from asking this and that......" Li Yongle found that Zhang Jun's expression was wrong, "Still worried about not being able to play?" ”

Zhang Jun didn't nod, but he didn't shake his head either.

Li Yongle smiled: "I'm much better, I was originally a person who came to visit, and I didn't expect to play at all." And what about you...... Actually, I don't know what to say...... Ali Han doesn't like you, and he can't help it! He sighed again. Now in this situation, I can't make trouble, so I can only endure it myself.

Zhang Jun smiled, and he was a little moved when he saw Li Yongle worrying about himself so much. He didn't want to worry people at every turn like he used to. "Maybe it's because I'm not in the right frame of mind, no one said I could play when I came back. Being the main player in the club does not mean that you are the main force in the national team. I'm content to be part of the national team back. If the coach asks me to go up, I'll go up, and if I don't let me go up, I'll always be ready, just do it. As for what they look like from the outside, that's their own business. He gently knocked his foot into the elevator. He has experienced too much in the past six months, and the national team just gave him another training. Forget it, I laughed at myself in my heart with "the sky will descend on the people".

※※※

"Zhang Jun, will you play tomorrow?"

"Well, I don't know, I'm sure I won't start anyway."

"That's right, maybe that coach is biased against you, but don't worry, just find a chance to prove yourself. I believe you! ”

"Hehe, just talk about it, don't practice! Believe me, I'll take some action. For example......"

"Poof!"

"Like kissing me......"

"I believe in you, Zhang Jun!"

Zhang Jun touched his cheeks, feeling that he and Sophie were getting more and more tacit, and before he could say anything in his heart, Sophie knew what he wanted. It's a blessing to have such an "empathetic" girlfriend.

When Yang Pan came out of the shower, he saw Zhang Jun constantly touching his cheek, so he couldn't stop laughing beside him.

Zhang Jun glanced at it and didn't speak. After a while, Yang Pan's mobile phone rang.

"Hey, Ilan, I'm in Ben, everything is fine. Okay, okay, I miss you, I want to ...... every day"

"Wowhaha!" Zhang Jun laughed unscrupulously this time. Although he couldn't understand what Yang Pan said, he could definitely guess what he said from Yang Pan's expression, because he also said those words to Sophie. It has always been Yang Pan who has seen his jokes, and now that feng shui is turning, it is his turn to see Yang Pan's jokes.

Yang Pan didn't care, and walked to the balcony as he spoke.

Zhang Jun looked at Yang Pan outside the curtain, and sighed rather boredly.

It's going to be a game tomorrow, so why can't I get excited?

※※※

This game is also very important to this side. Zico even recalled all the foreign players who could be recalled. Hidetoshinakata, Shinjiono, Shunsukenakamura, Yo[***]ookubo, Atsushiyanagisawa and others will all be in action.

On the Chinese side, Wang Hui is still a bench player, Zhang Jun also accompanies him, An Ke and Li Yongle are complete spectators, and only Yang Pan, Shao Jiaying and Li Yi are the main players among the returnees.

The starting lineup of the Chinese team has one more Li Yi compared with the Asian Cup, and there is no other change. After the start of the game, the Chinese team performed normally. "Normal" here means the same as the previous lame behavior.

On the back line, Li Suisheng and Liu Peng, the best of the young players in China, do not call, but trust the frizzy old defense. Not to mention the striker, the demon knife uncle is thirty-five years old, and he still has to shoulder heavy responsibilities, and his partner Li Dayu is a shooter who often has wonderful performances in the league, but is dumb as soon as he arrives in the national team.

Qiu Suhui only watched the first half for fifteen minutes, and he kept sighing in his heart. Ali Han has been in charge of the Chinese team for almost three years, and there has been no uniform style of play, and there has never been a fixed style for the players to adapt to, and the selection of people has problems from time to time. With his own level, Qiu Suhui felt a little condescending to Ali Han.

The home advantage of the team is very obvious, not only the referee will be slightly biased towards the team, but nearly 60,000 fans at the scene wore a unified home team uniform, turning the National Stadium into a turbulent blue ocean. They must still remember the various "encounters" of their national team in China during the Asian Cup, so they should take advantage of this game to retaliate.

It is said that Korean fans are terrible, but in fact, this fans are not bad at all.

The Chinese team is under pressure away from home, in fact, many players of the Chinese team at the National Stadium in Tokyo are no strangers, and they also played the East Asian semifinals here the year before last. But every time I came to behave the same - I was pressed and beaten.

It's sad to say.

A few years ago, this football was only practiced in front of China, but they often came to ask their Chinese counterparts to communicate with each other in a low profile, and they were not discouraged even though they won less and lost more. Later, relying on the "Centennial Plan", relying on the implementation of professionalism, relying on the money offensive to attract many balloon stars to join the J League to play, relying on the quintessential comics of Yuben, it led to the progress of the entire football level. Later, after winning the Asian Cup twice, he has become a well-deserved Asian hegemon. Their eyes have been set on Europe, and the little brother who was quiet at the beginning no longer disdains to be in the company of the "poor brothers" in Asia.

And what about Chinese football? has long been caught in endless civil strife because of match-fixing, black whistles, factional struggles, and entanglement of interests, and has been left far behind by Yuben and South Korea.

Qiu Suhui is very distressed every time he thinks of this history, basically he has witnessed most of this history as a player, a spectator, a coach and so on. I think that when their national team and the old-timers played against their own team, they said that they were sudden, and they shot when they said, how refreshing. Now? Gee!

In the middle of his thoughts, the Chinese team was more than frizzy, and there was a serious mistake in the back line that lacked composure, but the ball was not kicked far, and the number one dangerous man Nakata Hidetoshi got the ball, he did not pass the ball as the Chinese players thought, and shot a long shot from 25 meters away!

The football turns very fast, and the angle is very tricky! Although goalkeeper Liu Fei struggled to save, he was not tall enough to stop the football, and the ball drilled into the far corner!

In the 31st minute of the first half, the team took the lead at home!

Ali Khan angrily threw the water bottle in his hand, but Qiu Suhui remained silent, as if it had nothing to do with him. He had known that it would be a matter of time before Ali Khan conceded a goal against him. It is said that the team has always had a strong midfield, and it can be used as a striker at critical moments, how can the four Chinese midfielders deal with it?

Shao Jiaying is not good at defending, and Yang Pan's defensive range is only limited to the right side. In the middle defense, Li Yi has been injured and has not been able to find his state, and he has long lost the courage of the "iron man" of the year, and another outstanding back waist in the face of Nakata and others also shows the true character of "rough brother".

If it were me, I would have sent a few returnees sitting down below a long time ago, and it would definitely be more effective than some of the people on the field now. Qiu Suhui simulated in his heart.

※※※

Yang Pan angrily kicked the ball that rolled out and kicked it back into the goal.

After three games, he always felt awkward and uncomfortable playing in this national team. There is a feeling that the power cannot be used.

He looked at Zhang Jun and the others on the field. Zhang Jun's face is also very good.

Ay!

Yang Pan sighed in his heart and lowered his head and walked towards the middle line. It's not the National Olympics now, he can't yell loudly, he can't easily reveal his emotions, and of course he can't joke with the coach to make suggestions, such as letting Zhang Jun play. Just like he was in the national Olympic team.

Why is the gap between the national team and the national Olympic team so big?

※※※

Wang Hui beside him didn't say a word, he had seen a lot of this kind of scene, but he frowned tightly. And Anke, an anxious surname, muttered: "Will there be any defenders who will break the siege like that?" Li Yongle hurriedly stabbed him, for fear of being heard by others.

It was the captain of the national team who made the mistake.

But Anke didn't care, he hadn't been a professional player yet, and when he wasn't famous, he couldn't get used to this person's style. Reckless, reckless. "Having him there is simply a nightmare for the goalkeeper behind him." At the time, he had commented on this person, and his evaluation remains the same.

Zhang Jun believed that his face must be bad, very bad. Thirty-one minutes have passed, and he has the feeling of watching the national team game in front of the TV before, that is, he is panicked and angry. Seeing that he was showing off his footwork in front of him, and his teammates on the field were powerless, he was angry in his heart; saw that he was walking like flying, and his steps were light and he had to rely on fouls to stop them, but the Chinese team was walking heavily, and his legs were weak and angry; Seeing that the Chinese team made many active mistakes, it was like a meteor shower; Seeing that the Chinese team lost the ball because of an active mistake, it was even more angry.

If it had been changed to facing the TV before, Zhang Jun would have started scolding his mother a long time ago. It's good to vent and vent. But now, does he dare to scold? Unless he doesn't want to be in the national team. Now he felt like he had been insulted by someone else in a very shameless language, but he couldn't fight back, and something in his chest was about to explode.

Li Yongle sat next to Zhang Jun, and heard a clear crackling sound in the loud call of the National Arena. He turned his head curiously to find the source of the sound, only to see Zhang Jun's face cloudy, and the mineral water bottle in his left hand had already made him pinch and deform.

※※※

For the remainder of the first half, the Chinese team stepped up their attack, but the forwards failed to take advantage of their chances. There were two times when he slid the door and went out, which made Ali Han sigh. At that time, he thought that he had grasped hope, but in the end, he realized that what he had grasped was just a hair on Hope's body.

Qiu Suhui appeared composed throughout the first half, and it was not until the whistle blew at the end of the half that he got up and followed Ali Han to the dressing room.

Basically, he's now putting himself in a "bystander" position. Anyway, since Zhang Jun had a conflict with Han because of the use of Zhang Jun, the Dutch rarely took the initiative to exchange opinions with him. In addition, Chen Wei and Qiu Suhui have a good personal relationship, which also makes Han have to watch out for something. Now Qiu Suhui is more regarded as a translator. That's right, after Chen Wei came to power, Xiao Dong, who used to be a translator, was transferred, what is he not a translator now?

Ali Han's substitutions have always left a deep impression on Chinese fans with their surprises. So Qiu Suhui is very interested in what Ali Khan will arrange for this match. He decided to wait and see, and, in a sense, he even had some hope that the Chinese team would lose to Yu Ben in this game, because that would add to the excuse for Chen Wei to let Ali Han go to class.

※※※

There was some confusion at halftime.

Ali Khan criticized all three lines over and over again, but he did not find the real reason.

The oldest comrade of the "Demon Knife" in the whole team, in fact, is quite dissatisfied with this old Dutch man, who has been the head coach of the club, and he thinks that he is better than Ali Han to lead the team. However, he didn't show anything, and worked hard to score goals and help Han out of the siege.

Yang Pan was said a few words for no reason, but he also behaved as an old man, and accepted it humbly regardless of whether it was right or wrong. Some very harsh criticisms are simply unacceptable in Zhang Jun's opinion, let alone Anke, if it weren't for Li Yongle reminding him, Anke would have "lost his mouth" and called out.

The captain who made a mistake didn't dare to say a word.

Everybody is under a lot of pressure. Ali Khan's all-out blow is also a sign of his pressure. After Luo Wenqiang got out of class, he heard that the newly appointed chairman Chen Wei did not like his coaching style. So if this game is lost, the Chinese Football Association will let him go even if he pays liquidated damages.

"In the second half, we strengthened our attack, Yang Pan, how far do you want to shoot, understand?" He asked Yang Pan while drawing on the tactical board. By now, he knew that Yang Pan was a long-range shot in addition to speed, and when he was in trouble, he asked him to come to the savior.

Yang Pan nodded, thinking that Adrian was much better than him, he hadn't worked on the front line for a long time, and it seemed that he really couldn't keep up with the times.

“…… And then we're going to ...... like this," he drew a forward arrow on the board," ...... And so it goes! "I drew three more arrows in front of the door." If it doesn't work, you can also ...... like this" The arrows on the side turned into a zigzag line that went in. "Create as much confusion as possible in the opposing defense!"

Looking at the messy tactical board that was drawn, everyone was in chaos.

So this precious fifteen-minute break passed in the blink of an eye in the chaos of you, me, and everyone.

※※※

There was still no change in the second half, except for the vague tactical arrangement at halftime, and there was no way for the Chinese team to be inferior to others.

As a rising star who is now in the limelight, Yang Pan has received meticulous care from this aspect. Crush him in the narrow terrain on the right so that he can't rush out.

It seems that he knows that Yang Pan will increase his long-range shots in the second half, so he has already made preparations for his surname. That's also natural, under Ali Han, Yang Pan will only shoot hard from a distance except for a low cross.

The attack is still lacking, the defense is in a hurry, Ali Han is so anxious that he keeps pacing in front of the coach's box, it's time to make some changes! He made up his mind.

So five minutes later, the No. 11 striker Li Yiming, who was affectionately known as "running faster than the ball" by domestic fans, was sent on by Ali Han to replace Hao Haidong, the "demon knife" who was gradually exhausted.

At this time, I believe that many fans who are in front of the TV have turned off the TV pessimistically as soon as they saw that familiar figure appear on the field.

Zhang Jun was even more disappointed in his heart, and replaced him with Li Anonymous, indicating that he basically would not be able to play.

The score was still 0:1 behind, but many people felt that this game was out of play.

Ali Han's substitution made the commentator nervous at first, thinking that he would replace No. 21 Zhang Jun, but it turned out to be not, causing him to have a false alarm. "The Chinese team has replaced No. 11 Li Anonymous, and they have given up attacking!" Don't ask how I know Ali Khan's mind, because he has broadcast the Asian Cup final live.

※※※

Li Yiming came on the field and really "lived up to expectations" and made a mess of the Chinese team's attack.

Yang Pan forced a breakthrough and crossed, and the ball passed well. Li Daewoo appeared at the front point at the right time and jumped high.

The defender thought he was going to head the ball and everyone rushed towards him. But Li Dayu caught a glimpse of Li Anonymous who followed up, and then missed!

The football leaked and flew towards Li Anonymous!

All the attention of the team was attracted by Li Dawoo at the front point, he is now unmarked, and the goal he faces is nearly two-thirds unguarded!

Great opportunity for the Chinese team!

But Li Yiming, a stupid bird, was indifferent, watching the football fly in front of him, and then he was relieved by himself! He didn't realize that Li Dayu's ball would leak to him!

Li Dayu shouted at him angrily: "What are you doing there? Back to defense! "With this kind of striker, no matter how good his temper is, he will go crazy.

"Li Yiming wasted a great opportunity! He seemed to be stunned for a moment! Liu Hongmin's tone has the feeling of "hating iron does not make steel".

※※※

After squandering a couple of chances in a row, Ali Khan made another adjustment. This time he was very unexpectedly replaced by Zhang Jun, but ...... But it was also very surprising to let Zhang Jun hit the front waist that he had never beaten before!

Regarding this substitution decision, Qiu Suhui did not raise any opinions, but just translated the original words to Zhang Jun.

Zhang Jun, who was full of joy, thought that he had heard it wrong, but Qiu Translator told him that it was right, the head coach asked you to play as a front midfielder, in addition to being responsible for organizing the attack, but also to be a shadow killer.

Wang Hui almost laughed when he heard this, he just had a panacea, and Mr. Head Coach seemed to want to train another one. What kind of coach is this!

Zhang Jun didn't say much after he understood, quickly took off his coat, ran to the fourth official, and prepared to play, he was running out of time.

※※※

Sophie saw Zhang Jun finally playing in front of the TV, and she was happy for Zhang Jun in her heart. But soon she was not happy. Because she found that Zhang Jun's position was not a striker, but a forward midfielder!

"What's going on?" She pointed to the TV and asked in a very unladylike surprise.

In fact, there are not a few people who do the same actions and say the same thing with her at this moment. Liu Hongmin, the commentator of CCTV5, could only laugh and say: "This ...... Ali Khan's substitution was really unexpected, and there is something unique about him......"

※※※

But the performance of this "uniqueness" on the field was a mess. Zhang Jun, who has never played in the front midfield, seems a little at a loss on the field, most of the time he doesn't know what to do, he can only receive and pass the ball mechanically.

It's okay to go on like this! So later, Zhang Jun, who was used to it, would always drill into it and become a center. In this way, Li Yiming and Li Dayu were squeezed out of position, which is even worse. Han had to shout loudly several times for Jang Jun to withdraw and leave the restricted area. Time was urgent, he didn't even need a translator, he knew that Zhang Jun could understand it anyway.

However, Zhang Jun's characteristics doomed him to the farther away from the forbidden area, the less effective and threatening he became.

Zhang Jun is very conflicted, the first time he encountered this situation in an important match, the nervousness of making his first appearance for the national team has long been gone, replaced by confusion. He didn't know what to do.

With less than fifteen minutes left in the game, the Chinese team was still one goal behind.

※※※

Zhang Jun can only have some chances when he takes a set-piece, but according to the chaotic situation of the Chinese team, he can easily stop all China's attacks without even fouling.

There were only corners.

"China got a corner kick and it was our third corner of the game. Yang Pan opened a ......"

Zhang Jun's ghost generally appeared at the front point, jumped high under the surprised gaze of the defender, and then shook his head!

"Zhang Jun's header!"

Goalkeeper Yoshikatsukawaguchi had surrendered with his gun, but the beam helped him out and kept the lightning-fast ball out.

"Didn't enter!" Liu Hongmin really wants to scold his mother, God has no eyes!

But just when the team thought that the crisis was over and were about to drive the falling football out, a black shadow flew to kill him, grabbed Shunsuke Nakamura to clear the siege, and pushed the ball into the gate with his forehead!

"The ball is in! Lee Daewoo scored! The Chinese team equalized the score! ”

Li Daewoo, who scored the goal, was very excited, he planned to cover his head with his jersey and run to celebrate, but just halfway up the jersey, he suddenly remembered the relevant regulations of FIFA, and he would eat a card when he lifted the jersey, and he had already had a yellow card before, so he hurriedly put it down and ran wildly with his hands raised instead.

Yang Pan, who took the corner kick, did not catch up, but turned around and threw himself at Zhang Jun, and then hugged him. "Damn! Why didn't you top it just now? Otherwise, you will be much better in the next games! Yang Pan sighed.

Zhang Jun just smirked, he hadn't thought about it that much now, as long as the Chinese team didn't lose.

※※※

After China's equalizer, the team strengthened its offensive, but it was more than enough to do so. Because Zhang Jun unknowingly changed Ali Han's instructions and was at the front like a striker, so that when the team wanted to attack in a big way, they always had to take care of this wolf roaming in their backfield.

The score never changed again, and in the end it was a 1:1 and everyone shook hands.

Qiu Suhui looked at Ali Han's relieved expression, thinking that Chen Wei seemed to have to wait for another opportunity, and he himself had to wait for another opportunity, so let's leave it as the translator Xiao Qiu now.

※※※

This away draw was once again criticized by many media due to Ali Han's problems with the use of Zhang Jun. Some even poignantly asked Ali Khan what he intended by doing so. Ali Han defended that the result was not bad anyway, indicating that it was also successful to let Zhang Jun play as a front midfielder. After all, it was the presence of Zhang Jun that helped Lee Daewoo score the equalizing goal.

Qiu Suhui has remained silent in this crisis of confidence in Ali Khan, as has the Football Association.

Zhang Jun was a kind man and did not embarrass Ali Han in the media, he only said that he was glad that the Chinese team did not lose the match against the team.

However, Ali Khan could not tolerate Jang Jun's bold last-minute tampering with his instructions, and as a result, Jang Jun remained on the bench for 90 minutes at home to Bahrain five days later, and his circumstances did not change because of Lee Daewoo's goal in the last game. This move has caused more and more people to be dissatisfied, and fools can see that Zhang Jun's strength is no problem to play the main force, and the problem between Ali Han and Zhang Jun is not something that can be fooled over with simple physical reasons.

Fortunately, the Chinese team broke out at home and swept Bahrain 4:1 in the Asian Cup, which diverted some people's attention slightly.

After the end of the game on March 30, the first round of the quarterfinals ended, the national team was temporarily disbanded, and the players had to cope with their own league tasks.

Zhang Jun returned to Warrendam with endless helplessness and depression, and he wanted to vent all the firepower accumulated in his heart on Warrendam's league opponents. At least here, he's still the king, or everything.

Jang Jun would occasionally think about the problems between himself and Ali Han, but only occasionally. Now that the relegation is at a critical point, he can't tell the difference, so let's leave it until the end of the league.
