The latest chapter of "The Ball at Your Feet"...

While the rest of the team was resting, Zhao Yaning was playing against the Iranian Olympic team. In this game, he played extremely seriously, and the reason for this was only because the opponent was Iran.

In the entire Asian football circle, Iran can be said to be the team that Zhao Yaning hates the most.

The Japanese and Koreans are not good, but they are not without merit. The Japanese are the blackest in Asia, and have repeatedly played against other countries in matches, even South Korea, which is a notch behind them. However, although Japanese football is black, they at least know what is right and wrong, and they will not take bad things as beautiful talk, and after making mistakes, as long as they are pointed out, they will bow their heads and admit their mistakes - next time they will continue to do that - this is much better than South Korea.

South Korean football suppressed China the most, and in 2002, it disgraced the face of Asian football to the world, but they did not have any excessive arrogance and annoyance. Although they have the behavior of not admitting their mistakes, and sometimes they are also very dark, but Korean football is strong after all, and they are not very excessive.

But Iranian football is different. It can be said that they do not have all the spirit that modern football promotes. The game is fair, the opponent is respectful, the solidarity is as one, and the politics are away from it – none of them are involved.

And what made Zhao Yaning hate the most was naturally the four fingers they stretched out. Over the years, the Chinese team has played countless embarrassing games, but there is only one that stretches out four fingers to humiliate the Chinese team. There is no hatred between the two countries, there is no contradiction between the two teams, you have indeed won big victories, but is it necessary to bring such things out every day? It's true that the opponent is not very good, but is it necessary to keep humiliating the opponent because of this?

If there is a chance, returning this shame has always been one of Zhao Yaning's wishes.

It's just that the current Iranian national team is no longer the Iranian team it was at that time in 97.

If you only count the strength of the players, the Iranian team can be said to be the first in Asia during this period, and it is much stronger than South Korea and Japan. Karimi is considered by Iranians to be on a par with Zhao Yaning's midfielder, and Iranian players include Alidaiyi, Madavecchia, and Nekonan, who play in Europe. And that's not all, Hashmian, Zandi, Bagheri, Kavianpul, Nik Bakht and others are all excellent players in Iran, but none of these guys are willing to return to play in the Iranian national team.

Political reasons and infighting are the culprits that really ruined the Iranian national team.

But after all, it was a national team competition, and this is a national Olympic team competition.

The strength of the Iranian Olympic team is actually not stronger than that of the Chinese Olympic team. Zhao Yaning didn't play in the last game, but the national Olympic team still killed the Iranian national Olympic team 3-1.

And because the game between the Japanese team and Iran is a draw, now in the group, the Chinese team has two wins and one draw and seven points to the first place in the group, after the Japanese team defeated Malaysia, it is one win, one loss and one draw and four points second in the group, while the Iranian team also defeated Malaysia, also one win, one loss and one draw, also four points, and the goal difference is at a disadvantage and ranks third in the group.

Thinking of these guys from Ping Malaysia, Zhao Yaning couldn't help but grit his teeth. If they win the game, they will now have nine points in hand, and if they win this one again, they will have twelve points in hand, Japan and Iran will have a maximum of thirteen points, and China will have two games left as long as there will be no big problems, and Zhao Yaning can play one less.

But now it seems that even if we win this game against Iran, we will not be able to miss the next game against Japan. If you want to lose to the Japanese devil, the last game will fall to determine the right to qualify by goal difference, then according to the habits of the Japanese, eighty percent of the Chinese team will be killed.

It is precisely because of this that Zhao Yaning's game opened up the effect of the 'Sleeping Beauty' card - playing club games in Europe, sometimes Monaco can still be taken care of by some referees, but in Asian national team games, the Chinese team has never been taken care of.

"You bastards."

The game against Japan was on the 1st of May, the day of the Blue Shore derby, against Nice. These guys have so much that they haven't had a chance to win against Nice until now.

However, since he said that he was not to blame for the past, Zhao Yaning naturally would not hold them accountable. But in this game, if they don't play well, they won't be able to.

And there is a big reason why the Iranian Olympic team is weak. There are also a lot of problems at this time. Their striker, Kaisebian, died of his brother and refused to play. They are used to practicing double strikers, so they have to change to play single strikers - this makes Zhao Yaning a little surprised, why do they die as soon as they play with the Iranians?

However, if there is any disadvantage, it is that the Chinese team is really not suitable to play in Tehran. This broken place is a plateau climate, which is simply the biggest damage for the Chinese team with poor physical fitness.

The match was the same as the Chinese team against the Iranian team, and the Iranian fans in the stadium stretched out four fingers as a welcome gesture, just like every time they met the Chinese team, they have always been proud to have scored four goals against the Chinese team.

However, as soon as the game began, Zhao Yaning found the death hole of the Iranian Olympic team - their defender Kameli looked like a big colander in Zhao Yaning.

This guy's physical flexibility is not as good as that of Chinese players, and at 1.80 meters tall, he can't have much advantage in defending high balls, and he doesn't know how to get into the game lineup.

Such a guy made Zhao Yaning quite happy to break through.

In the seventh minute of the game, Zhao Yaning kicked the ball into the door of the Iranian team with a low shot from outside the penalty area.

"Zhao Yaning is in good form, and it looks like this game is bound to win." The commentator who commented the game suddenly became interested, "A goal was scored in less than ten minutes in the opening game, and in this game, the Chinese team may really be able to win a game." ”

Zhao Yaning, who scored the goal, was also very happy. In the two games against Real Madrid, he was almost psychologically shadowed by Cassie, and when he thought of shooting, he was afraid that he would waste another opportunity, and it was still important for him to regain confidence to score again.

In the subsequent game, soon, Zhao Yaning sent the ball to the penalty area through a long pass of a free kick, but unfortunately, Du Wei raised the ball over the crossbar.

"This kind of free kick, Zhao Yaning might as well shoot by himself." For this goal, China's commentary is naturally annoyed, "Zhao Yaning's free kick can fall on people's heads every time, but if he doesn't score, Zhao Yaning might as well shoot himself." ”

The narrator can say this, but Zhao Yaning will not change it. Free kicks and penalties, after all, have to be considered as the best possible thing, every shot on goal, that's what a bastard does.

In the twenty-eighth minute of the first half, the Chinese team once again expanded the score. Zhao Yaning's corner kick was passed to Hu Zhaojun, and his header flicked the ball far away. The header was so bad that it landed directly on the ground, but the ball rolled into the goal from under the crotch of Iranian defender Madanchi - people have to be lucky, they can score goals no matter what.

And in the fortieth minute, the Iranian team was greeted by what they thought was an unthinkable scene.

Mobali's long-range shot was saved by Angel, but Ottelbaatle immediately scored with an empty shot - the Iranian fans who thought they had recovered a goal and started cheering all the time heard the referee's whistle - Bohani interfered with the goalkeeper and fouled it, and the entry was invalid, and Bohani was yellow carded.

"This referee is really good." In this regard, the commentary was very surprised, "His judgment is very accurate......

In the past, such a penalty should not be expected to be blown by the referee. It has not been a day or two since the Chinese team has been angry with the AFC, and it is really incense to be able to meet a referee who enforces the law impartially in such an important event.

And something like this happened again in the second half. This time, it was still Bohani, when Angel was holding the ball and trying to kick it wide, he took advantage of Angel's wrong hand to hold the ball, kicked the ball down, and then shot into the empty goal.

But this time, it was another collision with the goalkeeper...... Two yellows turned into one red, and they went straight to the field.

These Iranians are also too bold. Zhao Yaning felt a little incredible in his eyes. Although he thought that the Iranians may not be able to play cleanly, but if you want to say fouls in other positions, it can be said that it is understandable, but a striker has continuously fouled the goalkeeper, does he really think that it is the home field and can be unscrupulous?

The Iranian Olympic team, which is missing one man, has nothing to play - in fact, they don't even have a backup striker at this time, and they can only shrink the defense. And the referee's law enforcement made them feel a little confused, when they played against the Chinese team before, the blowing penalty would not be like this.

But they were confused, but Zhao Yaning was interested.

In the 67th minute, after Zhao Yaning took a free kick into the penalty area, Xu Liang made a header eight meters in front of the goal and smashed the ball into the gate.

"This is a rare big victory for China against Iran, after the 3-1 in the last game, the Chinese team has achieved a 3-0 result! It is no longer a dream for the Chinese Olympic team to enter Athens! ”

But Zhao Yaning did not stop the offensive, he stretched out his hand to signal his teammates to continue running, and also raised his hand and pointed to the top of the stands.

Most of the four fingers of Iranian fans have been put away, but how many years has this scene been remembered in the eyes of Chinese, which is so easy to forget?

And at this time, Zhao Yaning passed the ball to Lu Feng, Lu Feng made a back, and Sun Xiang broke through the door of the Iranian team with a close-range shot 14 meters away from the goal.

Sun Xiang, who scored the goal, looked at the crowd above the stands and raised four fingers happily - and then he immediately received a yellow card for provoking the fans.

But this also does not affect the overall situation - the Chinese Olympic team won a 4-0 victory.

"I'm very happy to have a result like this, so we have a better chance of going to Athens." Zhao Yaning was very satisfied with this result, and when he spoke to the media, he also said a few more words, "Moreover, I really want to say that I thank the Iranian fans for their enthusiastic support." How did they know before the game that we were going to score four? I didn't even think of it. If it weren't for their gestures that have always inspired me to achieve their wishes, I don't think the Chinese team would have played so well......"

Why the Iranians are in a hurry and angry, Zhao Yaning can't control it. After the double kill of Iran, another exciting news came.

Japan didn't win against Malaysia away.

In this way, the Japanese team has five points and the Chinese team has ten points. Zhao Yaning immediately made a decision: he will not play in the next game against Japan, he will lose if he loses, and he will get back in the last game against Malaysia. At that time, it was already the end of the season anyway, and it was already possible to pass two Blue Bank derbys, and it was not impossible to turn the tables in the end.
