In the end, the two sides exchanged blanks in the first half, and after the rematch, Ali Han replaced Hao Dacang with Li Yi, hoping to change the tide of the game with his impact, but what Ali Han didn't expect was that only 1 minute after the start of the second half, the Kuwait team scored!
China's left-back Sun Xiang's pass was broken, Kuwait quickly launched a counterattack, and soon formed a breakthrough on the right side and crossed the bottom, Bashar fell to the ground near the small penalty area line to head back, and substitute Juma scored after the break, Kuwait led 1-0. Inspired by this goal, the Kuwait team's offensive was more vigorous, and it threatened the Chinese team many times in a row, but fortunately, the Kuwaiti team's players had a general ability to seize the opportunity, otherwise the score might have been expanded again.
And Liu Jianhong intensified his spray at this time, "In the first half, Kuwait rarely played on the right side, but after the start of the second half, they continued to exert force on this side, and it immediately had an effect, obviously intentionally, Alihan must do his best to come up with countermeasures, otherwise I am afraid that the Chinese team will be more auspicious." At the same time, Liu Jianhong also continued to criticize Alihan's use of Xu Yunlong, ignoring the fact that Xu Yunlong's appearance in this game was actually very good.
And when Alihan noticed the loophole on the left side and replaced Yu Hai to strengthen the defense, Liu Jianhong accused again, "Now that the Chinese team is one goal behind, Alihan actually chooses to strengthen the defense, does he plan to maintain this score in this game, and wait for the last game to fight with the Kuwait team for goal difference?" ”
Fortunately, the guest Tao Wei was a football player after all, and he said a few fair words to Alihan when he heard this, "Yu Hai's attack power is not weak, and the tacit understanding with Gao Jun is better, and sending him on the field also has the intention of activating Gao Jun."
At this time, Liu Jianhong found a new target and began to spray Gao Jun's cousin, "Compared with the Asian Cup, Xiao Gao's state is obviously much inferior, and he hasn't even shot a shot in this game so far", completely ignoring his teammates' poor support and the opponent's ultra-strict multi-person marking
Yu Hai's physical fitness at this time was not fully restored to his best condition, but he was at least more energetic than the starters on both sides of the field, so he began to actively participate in the defense as soon as he came on the court, and quickly blocked the defensive loopholes on the left side. On the offensive side, because Yu Hai and Gao Jun had a more tacit understanding, Gao Jun's support increased a lot, and later after Hao Junmin also came on as a substitute, he was even more at home
In the 65th minute of the game, the Chinese team passed diagonally to the penalty area on the right side of the front, Shao Jiayi used his height advantage to head the ball in the middle of the penalty area, Li Yi struggled to jump up but did not reach the ball, but Gao Jun, who had not yet shot in this game, successfully got rid of the marking and appeared at the back point in time to put the ball into the net, and the Chinese team finally equalized the score!
"There is not much time left for the Chinese team, let's take a look at this attack, Artemisia Junmin on the right side crosses the penalty area diagonally, plus a header ferry, Li Yi did not reach the ball, the ball is in! It was Gao Jun, who scored on his first shot in this game! He managed to get out of the opposition and head the ball into the net near the back post! Liu Jianhong's voice suddenly became high-pitched, shouting excitedly, and then praised "This is the role of the star", and he didn't remember how he was in the army before
The Kuwait team immediately launched a tidal wave of offensive and created a deadly threat on several occasions, but they were never able to change the score again due to Liu Yunfei's bravery and the hindrance of the crossbar. In the last 10 minutes of the game, the Kuwait team's physical fitness has completely collapsed, many players fell to the ground with cramps because of body overdraft, and the fierce offensive before returning to the light naturally could not continue, and finally the Chinese team drew 1:1 with the Kuwait team away from home, and entered the 2004 World Preliminary Asian quarterfinals one round in advance!
Although advanced in advance, but the process is quite thrilling, there are already a few people in China who understand that Chinese football is not picking up the hidden worries, and they are also beginning to worry about next year's quarterfinals, although Gao Jun and their group of young players have been called "the strongest young people in history", but in addition to Gao Jun and Yu Hai, others can not take over for the time being, and more importantly, the strength of the Asian powers is still improving, and even those teams that were not China's opponents have gradually posed a threat, which is really worrying.
But at this time, Gao Jun was more concerned about the fact that due to the Football Association's lack of attention to the Chinese League, the national number of games was not considered when arranging the schedule. If it is delayed in the Chinese League for another year, the growth rate of many young players in the Oriental team will definitely slow down a lot, after all, for young players, the level of the competition platform will directly affect their growth rate, and even the upper limit.
Fortunately, the two foreign aides that Gao Jun dug up after the Toulon Cup are super strong, even if Gao Jun and Yu Hai are absent, they can still lead the team to victory, and even if the national youth team recruits a large number of players, it is still more wins and fewer losses, otherwise it is really hard to say whether this year can successfully surpass. Despite this, two foreign players who are not actually world-class can compete with those strong teams in the Chinese League with a group of young players, which still makes Gao Jun sigh at the low overall level of Chinese football
In the case of Gao Jun and Yu Hai's long-term absence, and for a period of time, most of the main players have been absent, the ranking of the Oriental team can always remain in the top three of the Central League, and when the team lineup is complete, there is no team in the Central League that can compete with it. Even though almost every team in the Chinese League has chosen to recycle the defensive line to play counterattack when facing the Oriental team, and strictly guard the number one killer Gao Jun, the strong attacking power of the Eastern team still makes people feel that the two sides are not a grade team at all, and the terrifying scoring rate of Gao Jun's average of more than 2 goals per game makes the Chinese team embarrassed.
In addition, it must be noted that although Alihan is stubborn, but it is not completely unreasonable, in the case that the last game of the Asian group stage of the World Preliminary Championships is no longer important, Alihan took into account the actual difficulties of the Eastern team, and agreed to Gao Jun and Yu Hai to participate in the training camp later, so that the two were able to play 7 games in a row in the middle league, helping the Oriental team to return to the top of the list, and widening the difference between it and the second place to 3 points, and two rounds ahead of the success.
