After the start of the game, the Iraqi team did not shrink because the Chinese team has Chen Yu in the world footballer, their desire to attack is very strong, after the kick-off, the ball is at the feet of the Chinese team, they quickly pressed, and soon forced the Chinese team players to open their feet, snatched the ball into their own hands, and immediately launched a fast attack with a long pass.
After the players of the Chinese team drove the ball out, they also knew that the opponent would attack, and the players who had assisted immediately returned to their positions, and the other players also retracted to prevent Iraq's fast attack.
The return of the Chinese team is very timely, when Iraq's long pass hits the front, Gao Fei followed Younis in time, so that Younis was not able to touch the pass, the ball was pushed out by the defender, if Younis grabbed to the landing point, with Younis's ability, the Chinese team's backline will definitely be impacted.
In the opening round of the competition, Iraq had a slight upper hand, and the Chinese team's offensive and defensive conversion was also very timely, without giving Iraq any chance, which also made the Chinese fans in the stands and the coaches on the sidelines very pleased, they were worried that the Chinese team that had just been formed would be in a mess under the impact of the Iraqi players like wolves.
After the Chinese defenders pushed the ball into the midfield, the two sides fought in the air for several seconds, and finally the ball fell to the feet of the Iraqi player.
Don't look at the Iraqi players who want to win this game very much, but their mood is not shown in action, after grabbing the ball, they see that the Chinese team's defensive position is standing, and the effect of the rapid attack should not be large, although Younis is very strong, but there is no ability to single-handedly pick up the opponent's entire backline, so after getting the ball, they instead pass the ball back, ready to pull the Chinese team's players out and play again.
Iraq's approach should be a conspiracy, the Chinese players also know what their purpose is to do this, but they can't help but press forward, this is like a war between the enemy and us, the opponent has given up the position, if you are afraid to come in, this will hurt morale, in addition to this game, the Chinese team is not without a little idea, winning is also their goal, now Iraq is passing the ball back, if they can steal down the opponent's backfield to counterattack, then the threat of attack is too great.
The three lines of the Chinese team began to press forward, but the midfield is relatively fast, and the back line is relatively slow, which is not purely because of the lack of tacit cooperation, but mainly because the players responsible for the offense and the defensive players think differently, the offensive players think about the benefits of counterattacking after the steal, and the defensive players are worried about the danger of being hit by the opponent's long pass.
Iraq was able to defeat the old strong team Saudi Arabia to win the Asian Cup, the team's strength, tactical literacy, and the player's awareness are all good, seeing that the three lines of the Chinese team are a little disjointed, they immediately hit a long pass to the Chinese team's forward line and the back line, looking for their captain Younis.
Younis is the core of the Iraqi team, in the Iraqi team, his status and influence are similar to Chen Yu, and the Chinese team also attaches great importance to him, not only letting Zheng Hua, the backbone of the defense, defend him, but also help defend Gao Fei at any time, but now the two lines of the Chinese team are disjointed, and the distance between Gao Fei and Zheng Hua is a little far, which gives Younis the opportunity to get the ball.
Younis stepped forward at high speed, and by the time Goofy realized that he was already two or three meters behind if he chased back, it was difficult to pose any threat to Younis.
Younis's personal ability is very strong, he grabbed the landing point, it is not easy to grab it, maybe you have to pay the price of a free kick, if the performance is not good, maybe you will lose a yellow card, which is unacceptable to the Chinese team's backline.
When Younis went to grab the landing point, Zheng Hua did not wait for the position, but took the initiative to grab it, Zheng Hua did not think that he could grab the ball before Younis, but hoped to interfere with Younis, as long as Younis couldn't hold the ball, or couldn't grab the first landing point, there were many people on his side, and Younis had nothing to do.
However, Zheng Hua still underestimated Younis's explosiveness, and Younis's judgment of the landing point of the ball was also more accurate than Zheng Hua's, Zheng Hua had not yet arrived in place, Younis had already jumped up a little with his header and pushed the ball behind Zheng Hua.
Zheng Hua saw that Younis rushed to the landing point first, and knew that he was taking the plunge this time, the opponent was at most a free kick opportunity, but now it may become the opponent's single goal, if this is the case, Zheng Hua's responsibility is great.
Now, even if Zheng Hua makes an emergency stop and turns around at the fastest speed, it will definitely be impossible for him to catch up with Younis, and at this time he can only continue to choose to take risks.
Zheng Hua didn't stop, continued to move forward, and crashed into Younis, who had just landed.
Zheng Hua was ready to end Iraq's attack at the cost of a yellow card and a free kick.
Younis does not want to give up this opportunity, before the game Iraq also did a serious study of the Chinese team, knowing that this team has a big psychological problem, if you can give the opponent a slap at the beginning, maybe the Chinese team will collapse, if you form a confrontation with the Chinese team, with Chen Yu's terrifying personal ability, you will definitely be able to seize the flaws in the Iraqi back line to score, so that Iraq is dangerous.
Younis quickly sideways to avoid Zheng Hua and run towards his right.
Zheng Hua is also a player with a lot of experience, and he plays in England, the originator of modern football, he is very thoughtful about the possible problems of this defense, seeing Younis trying to break through from his side, Zheng Hua did not hesitate to reach out and grab Younis's shirt.
Younis is very strong and flexible, he still twisted his body flexibly in the rush, so that Zheng Hua did not grasp this hand, and his strong body also allowed him to maintain the balance of his body under Zheng Hua's interference, he looked at the other central defender of the Chinese team, Feng Cheng was desperately trying to help defend this side, Younis kicked the ground with both feet, accelerated forward, and tried to rush into the penalty area before Feng Cheng arrived.
At this time, less than three minutes after the start of the game, Younis's body was not fully active, his sprint was too strong, and he only felt a pain in his thigh muscles, Younis knew that it was broken, this must be a thigh muscle strain, he staggered forward two steps, and quickly lay on the turf with his thighs in his arms.
When Younis grabbed the header, all the eyes on and off the field were on Younis, and when Younis changed direction and threw away Zhenghua, the Iraqi fans in the stands also broke out into a burst of enthusiastic cheers, but just when Younis got rid of Zhenghua and was about to accelerate the sprint, he staggered and fell to the ground like an evil, this time the Iraqi fans, players and coaches were stupid, Younis played too much role in the Iraqi team, although it cannot be compared with Chen Yu's impact on the Chinese team, But it is also a needle in the sea, and if he has problems, Iraq's hopes of winning will be reduced by at least two percent.
Iraqi head coach Olsen had just walked to the sidelines, and he could see every move of Younis clearly, just when Younis broke through Zhenghua, he was about to applaud, but found that Younis suddenly fell down without confrontation, Olsen couldn't help but let out an exclamation, and at the same time his face became pale, according to experience, he knew that Younis must have been strained.
Just when Olsen was still thinking about what to do, the ball was grabbed by Feng Cheng, who rushed over, and Younis on the field also raised his hand to ask for a substitution.
Feng Cheng's desire to attack was very strong, and after getting the ball, seeing that the referee had not stopped the game, he immediately made a long pass with a big foot, trying to take the opportunity to launch a counterattack.
However, the referee just didn't understand what Eunice's situation was, at first he thought Younis had fallen, but now when he saw Younis asking for a substitution, he immediately stopped the game and let the stretcher and team doctor come on the field.
Seeing this scene, the joy of the Iraqi fans just now was immediately replaced by frustration, now as long as the fans with a little experience know that Younis is probably strained, and as long as it is a strain, it will definitely not be able to play, if you are lucky, you will have a week off, if you are unlucky, you may not be able to play for a month.
For the Chinese team, this is like pie in the sky, less than three minutes into the game, the opponent's core was injured and went down, is there anything more fortunate than this? It was even more wonderful than an own goal at the beginning of the game.
Thinking of this, there were many patriotic fans who applauded, followed by some fans who did not know the truth and applauded, although the applause was sparse, but it also caused the dissatisfaction of Iraqi fans, many equally patriotic Iraqi fans stood up and shouted at the applauding Chinese fans, and made decapitation gestures, and some threw debris at the Chinese fans.
Because Iraq is still in the midst of war, the match between the Chinese team and Iraq was held in Dubai, the neutral United Arab Emirates, but because the domestic situation in Iraq is really too bad, and the fans are also very sensitive, Dubai has made full security preparations to see that there is a risk of conflict between the fans on both sides, and the police and security guards in the stands quickly got up and pointed guns at the fans who were shouting and throwing debris, and asked them to sit down.
At the beginning of the game, the emotions of the fans on both sides were not yet excited, so they calmed down again under the intervention of the police, just scolded each other, no longer threw debris, when Iraq replaced another striker Mustafa, after the game resumed, the fans stopped cursing and focused on the fierce game.
