In fact, Australia did not score in the first half, and the score was one goal behind the Chinese team, which was completely acceptable to Australian coach Osijek. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

After all, this is the home of the Chinese team, and the Chinese team has improved rapidly in the past two years, they finished runners-up in the Asian Cup, won the Olympic Games, and drew away to Japan in the previous round of 10.

In every respect, the Chinese team is definitely not an opponent that can be ignored.

So for the result of conceding only one goal in the first half, Osijek is quite satisfied.

Conceding just one goal, it gave him more to expect from the second half – Australia drew two and lost one of their first three games, so their fourth game was definitely not about another defeat.

To win against China away from home is Osijek's goal.

On the one hand, I feel that the Chinese team fighting at home is strong and should not be underestimated, but on the other hand, I have set the goal of defeating the Chinese team away.

In the dressing room, Osijek kept encouraging his players, telling them that they were only one goal behind and that with a full 45 minutes left in the second half, they could beat China on the road.

“...... The performance of the Chinese players in the first half must have made them mistakenly think that they can easily beat us at home, and when they beat them, that's when we beat them!"

In the locker room of the Chinese team, head coach Gao Hongbo also reminded the players that a one-goal lead is not safe, and they must beware of Australia's fierce attack in the second half. But at the same time, Australia's fierce offensive is also an opportunity for the Chinese team.

"As long as we can withstand their attacks, we're going to have a lot of counter-attacking opportunities. That's what Gao Hongbo said to his players.

After the start of the second half, the Chinese team continued to attack Australia's penalty area under the leadership of Zhou Yi, and the offensive was so fierce that Australia couldn't even pass half the game. The Xi'an fans in the stands of Suzaku Stadium also supported the team with huge cheers.

The performance of the Chinese team reminds people of the period after the Chinese team scored in the first half, and it was really like a tide of attack, which was exciting to watch.

The Australian side obviously expected that the Chinese team would definitely launch such a fierce offensive at the beginning of the second half, so they recovered all the lines, defended solidly, and withstood the aggressive attack of the Chinese team first.

Thanks to their efforts, Australia's goal was not conceded. After ten minutes, the Chinese team really slowed down the pace again, and the players needed to catch their breath.

Australia took advantage of the Chinese team's slowing down and started their counterattack.

In the face of Australia's counterattack, the Chinese team did not fight them to the death in the midfield, but shrank into the 30-meter area and fought them near the penalty area.

This would allow them to take full advantage of the layers of filtering in the middle of their defence, making it difficult for Australia to really threaten the Chinese goal.

In the process, Zhou Yi began to look for opportunities to fight back.

Australia will certainly not be willing to lose away from home, and even a draw may not satisfy them. Because their results in the first three races were terrible. Knowing this, Zhou Yi was very confident in his judgment.

He firmly believes that Australia will continue to increase their attacking intensity, and when they are completely pressed, that is when the Chinese team counterattacks. Now, patience is required.

Australia's attack didn't go all out at first, because they also had to watch out for the Chinese team's defensive counterattack. Therefore, the back line is basically still behind the middle line, but this kind of strength of the attack is obviously not good for Sun Pan's goal.

After attacking for a while, Australia's attack was still not able to pose much of a threat to the Chinese team's goal, and there were not even many high-quality shots.

Seeing that the score could not be rewritten, the anxiety in the minds of every Australian player was slowly growing.

They also know very well what they came to China with in mind. If this game still can't be won, and one of the four top 10 matches has not been won, it will be a bit hanging to get the right to qualify for the World Cup.

Why did they choose to join the AFC in the first place? Aren't they just hoping to get to the World Cup finals more easily? Wouldn't it be a shame if they couldn't make it through the Asian qualifiers?

And at that time, the pressure of domestic public opinion will also become very great.

After this game, there are five match days left, and Australia will have a bye once in those five match days, which means there are four games left.

If they lose to China now, Australia will only have two points after the game, and the gap between China and Japan will widen even further.

The Chinese team has three wins and one draw and 10 points, surpassing the Japanese team to become the first team in the group, while the Japanese team has two wins and two draws and 8 points and ranks second. Australia is only two points, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to even secure the fourth place in the group.

So if they lose this game, they're terrible.

At the thought of this, the Australian players became more and more impatient in the game.

Before you know it, in the back and forth between the two sides, fifteen minutes have passed in the second half, and there is still half an hour before the end of the game.

In order to change the current situation of attacking sluggishness, Osijek decided to sell and adjust.

He asked the defenders on both flanks to actively intervene and participate in the attack, so that Australia's attack is more layered, forming a seawolf-like attack, layer after layer, wave after wave.

Only through such an offensive can the Chinese team create enough pressure in the back direction to force them to make mistakes themselves and create opportunities that belong to Australia.

When Australia's defenders even pressed up to participate in the attack, for a moment, their offensive did bring a lot of pressure and trouble to the Chinese team's players, and it did make the Chinese team's goalkeeper have some danger.

In the face of these dangerous situations, Chinese fans and commentators were terrified, only Sun Pan was excited - he could finally be in the limelight!

Australia's attack was generally not of high quality before, and it was difficult for him to have any outstanding performances, all of which were decent saves, and it was impossible to make a difficult save.

It's different now......

Australia's desperate attack gave Sun Pan plenty of opportunities to perform.

He began to appear frequently in close-ups and slow-motion replays.

"Sun Pan made another beautiful save!" During this time, Australia's offensive was a bit fierce, and the three lines of the Chinese team were almost compressed into one line, which is very dangerous......," Liu Hong said worriedly.

At Suzaku Stadium, whenever the Australian players get the ball, Xi'an fans will distract them with swear words and boos. But how can Australia, which is also a first-class team in Asia, be easily disturbed by the fans? They are ready before they come to win all three points away from home, and they are going to be the enemy of the 1.4 billion people in China.

During this time, Sun Pan was very excited, and Guo Nu and Yang Muge were also very active. Zhou Yi doesn't appear on the screen so often, so that if someone remembers him, they may feel that Zhou Yi is invisible.

But in fact, Zhou Yi is not idle, he has been observing the situation on the field, keeping in mind the running routes of players from both China and Australia, and analyzing some patterns through these records.

He felt that the right opportunity to counter-attack had come.

※※※

With Australia's two full-backs coming up to attack, their approach became simpler and more straightforward – with a constant flow of crosses from both flanks, with Tim Cahill jumping up for the top with a brilliant header in between.

Cahill's header is indeed a threat, but Guo Nu is not easy to mess with.

Sometimes, even if Guo Nu can't get the ball on the ball, his stalking for the top will interfere with Cahill, making it difficult for him to comfortably push the ball towards the goal.

No, Australia was another cross from the wing, Tim Cahill sprinted and jumped high to head the ball, but collided with Guo Nu in the air, he still hit the ball, but all the power was used to fight Guo Nu in the air, and the moment he finally reached the football was the end of the crossbow.

Sun Pan jumped in the air, stretched out his hands, and took off the football very easily.

He was still a little dissatisfied, feeling that the save was not exciting enough.

Just as he was about to open his mouth to complain, he saw Zhou Yi who was glancing at him outside the forbidden area.

In order not to attract attention, Zhou Yi didn't make any gestures, just squeezed his eyebrows at him. If it is a person who doesn't know Zhou Yi very well, if he sees him grinning and squeezing his eyes, he will definitely be surprised and overwhelmed, and he doesn't understand what happened to Zhou Yi, is he suddenly crazy......

But Sun Pan is not that kind of person, when he sees Zhou Yi like this, he knows what he is going to do.

So he didn't care about complaining that Guo Nu didn't give him a chance to be in the limelight, so he directly crossed the two people, rounded his arms, and threw the football out.

He didn't throw it directly to Zhou Yi because Zhou Yi also had two Australian players next to him.

He threw the football directly to the front line of the Chinese team and to He Ying! )
