The impact of Hu Lai's goal on the Vietnamese team is by no means limited to just conceding a goal.
The most important thing is to destroy the confidence of the Vietnamese team players.
Because before the game, their head coach Ruan Mingzhi constantly instilled in them the belief that as long as they are united, united, and risk their lives to fight the Chinese team, then they can build a tall wall in front of the goal.
The city wall shut out all attacks from the Chinese team.
At the same time, their momentum will also scare the Chinese team players and force them to make mistakes.
Then it's time for Huang Wenhui to appear.
But as it turned out, only thirteen minutes into the game, the "city wall" that the Vietnamese team players risked their lives to build was over.
Many players of the Vietnamese team can't help but think, "Are we unable to withstand the Chinese team's attack at all?" "Shouldn't we just wait and put the bus in front of the goal?"
Once they start to think this way, then Ruan Zhizhi's carefully prepared tactics will be useless.
In fact, there was nothing wrong with Ruan Mingzhi's tactics, but he never imagined that the Chinese team was cheating. There was a tacit understanding network built by five [Lingxi Cards], which connected nearly half of the Chinese team players.
Together, they think in one place and work hard in one place. Even if the Vietnamese team puts on a defensive posture, they can always let the Chinese team find an opening.
Just like this lost ball, Hu Lai's final shot was a perfect reflection of his personal ability.
But what caused the Vietnamese team's defense to collapse came from Chen Xingyi's breakthrough.
But how did Chen Xingyi achieve a breakthrough?
That's because the Chinese team's previous series of transfers and coordination from the wing to the center have put the Vietnamese team's defense under tremendous pressure, and there are signs of losing sight of one thing.
At this moment, Chen Xingyi pretended to pass the football to Hu Lai who came up to meet him. He deceived the angle and then suddenly changed direction and broke through, catching the Vietnamese team's defense by surprise.
The essence is that the Chinese team players used their extraordinary tacit understanding and cooperation to make the Vietnamese team players highly nervous when defending, and then made a mistake...
※※※
After breaking the ice, it was like having the cork popped off the champagne bottle.
Amid the cheers of the Chinese fans at the scene, the players of the Olympic team became more and more confident as they played.
The Vietnamese team seemed a little flustered.
As one goes and the other goes, the situation gradually shifts towards the Chinese team.
In the 33rd minute, the Chinese team launched another attack from the wing. Full-back Sun Gang passed the football to the goal. The Vietnamese defender made a mistake in clearing the ball and the football fell into the penalty area, causing chaos.
In the chaos, Chen Xingyi took a shot and the football rolled into the Vietnamese team's goal!
"Good goal! Chen Xingyi took advantage of the chaos to score! The Chinese team is leading the Vietnamese team by two goals!" He Feng was very excited, but the fans at the scene were more excited than him.
The cheers erupted as if the Chinese team had won the game.
Reaching the finals means that the Chinese team has locked in a quota for the Olympic Games, and the team's only mission in this U23 Asian Cup has been completed.
I originally thought that this game would be particularly difficult because the Vietnamese team was also preparing for the game with the determination to win.
Many fans even speculated that the Chinese team might lose the ball first, and then Hu Lai broke out and scored to help the Chinese team equalize the score. Then the opponent continued to surpass, Chen Xingyi or Luo Kai scored, and once again equalized tenaciously. In the end, Hu Lai came
Defeat Vietnam, complete a counterattack, and help the Chinese team qualify for the Olympics - this is the perfect script in the minds of many Chinese fans.
But when the game actually started, everyone discovered that the game related to the Chinese team's ability to qualify for the Olympics had become almost one-sided...
Before some people even recovered, the Chinese team took a two-goal lead.
They expressed their shock in this message online:
"The one wearing the red jersey is really the Chinese team? Not Spain?"
"What did I just see? Continuous back-heel one-two coordination... Is this really a coordination that the Chinese team can produce?"
"Why do I feel like they have been playing together for many years, and they pass the ball without looking at it... Am I the only one who feels this way?"
"No, the Chinese team has never entered the Olympics through the qualifiers except for once as a host country... I think about such a historic moment, why should there be a classic game?
Let’s go? That’s the result? That’s it?! Before the first half was even played, the Chinese team took a two-goal lead! Are we going to go to Madrid so easily?”
Xie Lan, who was in front of the TV, asked her husband next to her: "Is the Chinese team going to the Olympics?"
Hu Lixin nodded: "If nothing else happens, there should be no suspense about winning this game."
No matter how cautious he is, he has to admit that the Chinese team now has a great chance of winning, not only because of these two goals, but also because of the advantages shown by the Chinese team on the scene.
They really came alive, and it was difficult to stop the Vietnamese team's intensive defense.
When he watches the Chinese Olympic team's games, especially when they are attacking, he always has the illusion that the offensive players are playing football alone. Although it does not happen often, it happens occasionally, and the frequency is not
Very rare.
For example, just before Chen Xingyi scored a goal, the Chinese team's offense was fishing in troubled waters. However, the Chinese team was able to create such chaos in the Vietnamese team's penalty area because of a series of wonderful cooperation on the wing.
Whether it is the timing of passing or running or the selection of passing routes, they are all in perfect harmony.
This kind of tacit understanding made Hu Lixin curious about the training methods used by the Olympic team coach Shi Wuyin.
After all, Chen Xingyi was only selected for the Olympic team for the first time during the warm-up match of the National Olympic team in October last year. He trained with other members of this team and the game time was not long.
After hearing her husband's answer, Xie Lan stared at the TV screen blankly and murmured: "Why do I feel a sense of emptiness..."
"Isn't this great? If every game has to be played until the last few minutes to decide the outcome, doesn't it mean that the progress of Chinese football is fake? In this U23 Asian Cup, the Chinese team has always performed very steadily.
Even in the 0:0 draw with Uzbekistan, the defense withstood the test. This kind of performance has been consistent. It is a matter of course that we have reached the Olympics now, and it is not just luck... This shows that we
The football reforms in recent years have been successful and effective." Hu Lixin analyzed for his wife.
Xie Lan nodded in understanding: "In short, we can go to the World Cup in the future, right?"
Hu Lixin was stuck. He didn't expect his wife to ask such a tricky question.
He wanted to tell his wife directly that he didn't know.
But just when he was about to say this, his eyes happened to see the players of the Olympic team hugging each other. Among them were Chen Xingyi, Luo Kai, and his son.
These young people hugged each other and laughed happily.
So he temporarily changed his words: "It's possible..."

Although the Vietnamese team made some adjustments during the halftime break and gave up the defensive counterattack tactics and played more proactively, relying on the flexibility and speed of the Vietnamese players, it created some trouble for the Chinese team's defense in the second half.
But this did not change the final result of the game.
Even if the Chinese team didn't score a single goal in the second half, it was enough for them to defeat the Vietnamese team, advance to the finals, and qualify for the Madrid Olympics.
With five or six minutes left before the end of the game, the stands of the Jingyang People's Stadium were filled with deafening cheers. The cheers were continuous and did not stop when the Vietnamese team players got the ball.
This is Chinese fans cheering in advance for the Chinese Olympic team to reach the Olympic finals.
Commentator He Feng and guest commentator Yan Kang also focused their commentary during this period on the Olympics, not this game - they began to eagerly look forward to the team's success this summer before the game was over.
What will happen at the Madrid Olympics...
But none of the fans in front of the TV thought there was anything wrong with this, and no one thought they were looking down on the Vietnamese team.
Everyone is so happy and excited that they have no time to care about their opponents' feelings.
When you calm down afterwards, you may feel that this is not respectful of your opponent, but now... I can't think of that!
He Feng glanced at the game time, and then said in an excited voice: "There is only one minute until the Chinese Olympic team reaches the Olympics!"
For him, who has said many times before that "there is not much time left for the Chinese team," this sentence is like completing some kind of ritual.
After saying this, he basically glanced at the time from time to time.
The injury time was four minutes. Watching the time ticking by one second, He Feng felt as if a train was about to enter the terminal. After slowly slowing down and blowing the whistle, a clean and bright platform appeared outside the window.
Soothing music was also played in the carriage... Everything seemed to remind him that the tiring journey had come to an end, so please enjoy the wonderful journey.
When the referee blew the whistle to end the game, he almost shouted with Yan Kang next to him: "The game is over! The game is over! We are qualified!!"
The scene had long since become a sea of joy, with cheers overflowing from the Jingyang People's Stadium, pouring down from the top of the stadium's tall outer wall, and rushing towards the brightly lit city.
After eleven years, the Chinese Olympic team once again participated in the Olympic Games!
