Won both games and advanced ahead of schedule, Li Guo knew that this result was the same as the later Asian Cup in Australia. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Chinese public opinion is like this, the national football team does not necessarily boast when it achieves good results, but once the results are not good, they will be scolded immediately, no wonder, who calls football the world's number one sport, there is a saying that the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility.

This time it's about the same, the national football team has won two consecutive victories, but the country is very calm, and it seems that such results are taken for granted.

The third opponent of the Chinese team is Uzbekistan, and there are three major iron horses in Central Asian football - Uzbekistan, Iran, and Kazakhstan.

Kazakhstan went to UEFA, and the remaining two teams have always been first-class in Asia, their biggest capital is the body, it can be said that they are the European team in Asia, and the composition of the players is similar to that of European players.

Like the Chinese team, Uzbekistan won two consecutive rounds of the group stage and has qualified in advance, and the third round and the Chinese team PK group first, which is actually quite crucial, the first group in Group B is likely to be the Japanese team, and the first place in the group means that you can avoid the favorites to win the championship.

Although the current Chinese team is not afraid of any opponent in Asia, there is no need to let the boiled duck fly.

Before the game, Uzbekistan's head coach Kasimov and Jeparov attended a press conference.

Kasimov said: "I'm very happy that we qualified, our third opponent is very strong, but we have never been afraid of the Chinese team in history, we will play against the Chinese team in this game, we will not be conservative." ā€

Li Guo said: "I remember the World Cup qualifiers in the Milu era, and the only defeat of the Chinese team was at home in Uzbekistan. ā€

Kasimov thought that Li Guo was polite, but immediately Li Guo changed his words, "Uzbekistan, as the fourth strongest team in Central Asia after Iran, Kazakhstan, and Kyrgyzstan, is still good. ā€

Kasimov almost fainted, because the Uzbeks had always felt that they were the little overlords of Central Asia, but in Li Guo's mouth, he suddenly fell to the fourth, which was really unbearable.

"Li Guo, I won't blame you for your ignorance and arrogance, after all, your time back in Asia is very short, maybe you are still immersed in the superiority of Europeans, do you want to be like Mike Jackson, just bleach."

Kasimov was really angry, especially when Li Guo said that his team was not as good as Kyrgyzstan, which made him unbearable.

In Europe, the managers of the two teams have spoken and even moved, such as Mourinho and Arsene Wenger, but apparently Li Guo was in a good mood today, and he replied with a smile: "I don't want to quarrel today, let alone do it, the most important thing in football is the performance on the pitch, you will see it tomorrow." ā€

A reporter asked: "How many will the Chinese team aim to win tomorrow?" ā€

"How many balls are there in a game of table tennis?"

ā€œ11ć€‚ā€

Li Guo shrugged, "I'm kidding." ā€

The press conference broke up unhappily, and Kasimov later said unceremoniously in an interview with the official reporter of the AFC: "Some people think that if they enter the World Cup, they can disrespect their opponents, I think this is ridiculous, provocations can only make Uzbekistan stronger, and we will make our opponents remember us." ā€

Li Guo will often provoke the opponent before the game, not to show off, but for tactical purposes, just like the likes of Mourinho and Van Gaal, taking all the pressure on themselves and putting pressure on the opponent.

*****

The game was held at the Algalafah Stadium, that is, the stadium where the Chinese team played the first game, and the strange thing is that the audience for this game was only 3,000 people, which was half lower than the Kuwaiti game.

The Chinese team's starting lineup has changed again.

Goalkeeper - Wang Dalei.

Back line - Lin Zhijian, Zhou Dun, Yin Di, Geng Chong.

Back waist - Chen Deng, Li Weifeng.

Avant-garde line - Qu Bo, Pu Shuang, Shao Jiayi.

Single striker - Kiko.

The group stage is like a friendly match for Li Guo, sending different players to his heart's content, practicing different tactics, this is the first start of the teenager Chen Deng, Li Guo is still very cautious in the position of the back waist, although he is very optimistic about Chen Deng, but Li Guo still used Fang Suo in the first two games.

The game was not one-sided, perhaps to prove that they were not the "old four" of Central Asia, the Uzbek players were very desperate after the opening, and with the speed and size of European standards, the Chinese team did not take advantage of anything in the opening 15 minutes.

Akhmedov and Jeparov each created two very dangerous shots, one high and one confiscated by Wang Dalei.

But soon, the technical advantages of the Chinese players were shown, Lin Zhijian's one-stop breakthrough on the side, and Pu Shuang's invincible ball in front of the penalty area, all made the Uzbek players helpless.

The Chinese team's midfield and backfield are like fish in water, but Kiko is a little depressed, because in the first two games, Kiko was a head higher than the opponent's central defender in the opponent's penalty area, but in front of Uzbekistan, Kiko's height advantage disappeared.

At this time, Chinese fans may be missing Chen Green, the killer who broke through the sharp penalty area, if he is there, then the Uzbek high-ranking defender will definitely be turned over by his stirring people.

"Ji Ke, don't stand stupidly, go back to the midfield to get the ball," Li Guo shouted and gestured.

Li Guo knows that the future high school striker is like Ibrahimovic, Lewandowski, and Icardi, if your teammates don't give you the ball, you will come back to get the ball yourself, or even come back to grab the ball yourself.

Ji Ke retreated, and there were more opportunities to get the ball all of a sudden, but the effect was still not good, and Ji Ke was still a more traditional type of high school striker.

In the second half, Li Guo simply replaced Yu Dabao, although Yu Dabao is not as good as Chen Green, but the characteristics are similar.

Finally, in the 25th minute of the second half, Shao Jiayi assisted Yu Dabao to score, and the Chinese team led 1-0.

1-0 was also the final final score, the Chinese team won the group, and Uzbekistan retained its dignity.

After the game, Li Guo took the initiative to shake hands with Kasimov, but the Uzbek little old man didn't like Li Guo at all, and it seemed that he was haunted by Li Guo's words before the game.

In this way, the next opponent of the Chinese team was also released, that is, Saudi Arabia, Li Guo gave a brief interview after the game, at which time he seemed very modest, praising the opponent's defense very well.

"This game reminds me of Chen Green, when facing a strong team, the choice of the Chinese team's forward line is still too thin."

As for the next opponent?

Li Guo was reluctant to say more, "You know, I don't think about tomorrow's things when I'm victorious, and I'll leave tomorrow's things to tomorrow's Li Guo." (To be continued.) )
