Section 342 Asian Fronts

After entering the quarterfinals, the Chinese team faced the opponent of Iraq, which was the second in Group C.

Compared with the news of qualifying from the group, what made the Chinese team even happier was that in the Group D game, Iran was squeezed to the second place in the group by Rìben, who was also in the same group, and their opponent was South Korea, the first place in Group B.

South Korea and Iran are both extremely hated opponents of the Chinese team, when they meet, the Chinese team is more defeated than wins, can see them pinch, before meeting the Chinese team, one was eliminated first, the Chinese team is still quite happy.

The Chinese team's own opponent is Iraq, which is being invaded by the flames of war, how strong such a team can be, Zhao Yaning does not know, but in his opinion, it is estimated that such a team will not be much stronger.

And Zhao Yaning's understanding of them is that just before this game, in the last game of the group stage, because most of the games of the Iraqi team were in the chóng qìng division, after they qualified, they also put out a banner of 'thank you Chengdu', thanking the fans for their attention and support - this approach makes Zhao Yaning feel that their character is at least good. How far can a team be able to thank the local fans who watched the game?

The venue of this game is still in Běi Jīng, after all, the Chinese team is the host, and this geographical advantage is still there. At the beginning of the game, Zhao Yaning found that the lineup of the Iraqi team was indeed not good compared with the Chinese team, and in the game, the Chinese team still quickly controlled the situation.

But the problem is that Hao Dacang is not there in this game, Li Yishan starts as a striker, Shao Jiayi continues to start in the midfield, and Zhao Junzhe and Hu Zhaojun form a defensive line behind him. In the position of right midfield, the Chinese team was replaced by Qu Bo. Although he is now nominally a striker of the Chinese team, but because he has been in France for the past two years, he has been playing counterattack football every day, and the tactics of the Chinese team are very incompatible, so not to mention Hao Cannon, he can't grab it, that is, Daewoo, who is good at grabbing points, and Li Yi, who has strong tactical ability, are all ranked in his head, and his role, in addition to playing counterattacks, can only be active on the side now.

In the game, Zhao Yaning kept cutting inside with the ball, but there was never a good chance. Although Zhao Yaning controlled the situation, the opponent did not immediately retreat or collapse because of this - although I don't know how they did it, but a country in war can still have such strength, which is really surprising.

But when the game reached the thirtieth minute, Zhao Yaning still found an opportunity, his long pass, one foot passed the ball to the opponent's back line, Qu Bo rushed up at high speed, took the ball to the penalty area with a step inward, and then kicked a small angle shè goal, and the goal was successful.

Qu Bo's goal opened the scoring for the Chinese team. Qu Bo has made great progress in the past two years abroad, and his current physical fitness and physical strength are not comparable to before. And the technology is also somewhat improved, although this progress is not as big as Zhao Yaning, but it is already one of the best players in the Chinese team. ”

The narrator sighed with emotion, although Qu Bo had strong strength and potential before going abroad, he had never performed too well. During this time abroad, although the most things he practiced were physical strength, physical fitness, and basic basic skills, these things have improved his strength a lot.

But it is the improvement of these things that is the most important thing. Compared to the fancy technology and the consciousness of excellence that the Chinese football world has been pursuing, muscles, confrontation, explosiveness, and endurance, these things are really real, things that can be seen and touched.

And after this goal, Iraq became more defensive, which made the game between the two teams a grind in the midfield. Zhao Yaning and Qu Bo's attacks on both flanks were repeatedly interrupted, but Iraq was not able to organize too many attacks.

And at the end of the first half, Zhao Yaning rushed directly into the penalty area after a cooperation with Sun Jihe, and after he shook off the opponent with a slight change of direction, he tried to hit the goal with his feet, but the opponent's defender knocked him down all of a sudden.

The referee blew for a penalty.

And this time, it's also a question of who will make the free throws. After the last game, Shao Jiayi also sent his free throw opportunity to the sky, and he didn't dare to take any more penalties. And Zheng Zhi was reluctant to take a penalty this time, Zhao Yaning looked at the expressions of the people around him, and smiled bitterly and stood on the penalty spot.

He is really unconfident about the penalty spot now, after all, his ability has been cut by the card ability, and he has some doubts about whether he can score the free throw. But at this time, he also knew that his status in the national team was getting higher and higher, and it would definitely not work to blindly push the penalty to someone else to do it.

But how do you take the ball? Zhao Yaning stood in front of the penalty spot and thought about it.

Penalty kicks are nothing more than two ideas, one is to rely on good technique, shè door directly hit the dead corner, so that the opponent's goalkeeper has no time to save the ball. The other is to shake the opponent's goalkeeper through action and rhythm, so that the opponent's goalkeeper can make a save first, and then shè the door himself, so that the goalkeeper cannot make a successful save.

If the former is the case, Zhao Yaning can't do it. His shè skills are not enough to hit the dead corner every time when he is shè door, so that the opponent can't save, and the best way for the latter is to shake the opponent to make a save and directly pick shè in the middle, which is the so-called spoon penalty. But Zhao Yaning himself knows very well that he does not have this technology.

But he still has other skills. His ability to run and change speed is very good, after all, he has practiced dribbling for so long, and he definitely has the ability to change speed.

And when he thought of this, he retreated, and then, running, accelerating, and raising his legs...... Stop!

Just before he reached the penalty spot, he suddenly stopped. The goalkeeper had already pounced on the right side at this time, but Zhao Yaning kicked the ball to the left side after seeing his movement clearly, and the ball rolled into the net, but the surrounding Iraqi players had unconvinced looks on their faces.

The earliest originator of this method of stopping and kicking in front of the penalty spot can probably be traced back to Didi in Brazil. This style of play has a high success rate, but this kind of shaking of the goalkeeper has always been considered immoral. Although many people are using this style of play, in Europe, there are already calls for this kind of sudden stop free throws to be treated as a foul.

But since the rules have not changed, Zhao Yaning can't be regarded as a problem if he kicks like this.

After the game went 2-0, the Iraqi team thought even more about how to attack. And not long after, after Zhao Yaning got the ball again, he continued to shake the ball and find Li Yi's position, but just when he saw the position and was about to pass the ball, the accident suddenly happened.

The opponent's goalkeeper slapped Li Yi to the ground directly, and the referee's whistle sounded, a red card was issued, and a penalty was added.

This time, players from both sides got together. A foul in the penalty area can also be said to be accidental, and doing it continuously is a bit of a malicious bully.

The two sides quarreled, and the referee gave the Chinese team another penalty, which made the opposing players very dissatisfied. But it's true that their defensive moves are dirty, and who blames this ......"

The point of everyone's quarrel over this ball is actually whether to give a penalty or not. The goalkeeper pushed down the striker in the penalty area, and the red card was not unjust, but the problem is that the penalty needs to be considered. After all, Li Yi was in a no-ball state when he was pushed down, and this kind of penalty kick needs to be awarded by the referee depending on the severity of the situation, and this time, the referee chose to obviously give a penalty.

After a commotion, Zhao Yaning once again stood in front of the penalty spot.

The emergency stop method is easy to use once, and it will not work if you use it again, so this time it is better to change the method.

Zhao Yaning retreated a distance and ran up with small broken steps, and suddenly, he took a big step, shaking the opponent's new goalkeeper to move, his speed suddenly slowed down, and then, when the opponent's goalkeeper didn't have time to make a save adjustment, he suddenly accelerated and kicked the ball towards the gate!

The ball fell into the net again.

It turns out that what the coach said was not wrong. The know-how of football is always the same, and at the end of the day, with the ball sense and dribbling skills, everything else can be easily obtained. There is no doubt that a tall enough building can be built when the foundation is solid.

And this game, after the Chinese team took a 3-0 lead, the game also came to an end. The Iraqi team itself knows very well that this game, they are lost.

"The Chinese team entered the semi-finals with a 3-0 victory, this game broke some of the pessimistic predictions before the game, and the strength of the Chinese team has been more recognized, under the leadership of Zhao Yaning, we expect to see the team achieve better results......"

The so-called pessimistic predictions naturally refer to a series of media statements about Alihan since he took charge. After all, Alihan took over Milu's national team, and with Milu's achievements, it was already very difficult for him to lead the team, and his discarded use of some people also made him question a lot.

Although Zhao Yaning's support and the championship of the East Asian semifinals later, many doubts he faced were suppressed, but there are still many people waiting to see the joke. But this time, entering the top four has made many people's mentality of watching jokes converge.

At the same time, the Chinese team ushered in another good news: the Iranian team successfully advanced to the semifinals with a 4-3 victory against the South Korean team. Karimi scored a hat-trick to knock South Korea out.

The semi-finals of the World Cup and the Asian Cup failed to qualify for the semi-finals, which is a joke. However, Zhao Yaning knows very well that this result is not surprising at all.

After all, the South Korean team's World Cup semi-finals are the result of black whistles, and their strength is still not the first in Asia. Although half of the main squad of the Iranian team failed to attend the Asian Cup due to infighting and political reasons, their strength is still not to be underestimated.

After all, they have a Karimi. In time, when Zhao Yaning now won the treble, such as rì Zhongtian, Karimi is still considered by the Iranians to be the No. 1 striker in Asia.

And this seemingly crazy statement is really recognized by many people. Now there are rumors that Karimi is favored by Bayern Munich and is about to become a member of the Bundesliga giants, and many people claim that his future is definitely not under Zhao Yaning.

This statement only made Zhao Yaning smile: strong or not, ω· u(8) Update the fastest reading network
