"Namozov has achieved his first goal before the game - scoring a goal in the game! Then will he achieve his second goal? Lead the Uzbekistan national team to the World Cup!"
The commentator on Uzbek TV was very excited.
After pulling back a goal, the morale of the Uzbek team was greatly boosted and they attacked the Chinese team even more fiercely.
Even after a fifteen-minute intermission, this state of affairs was not interrupted.
After the start of the second half, Uzbekistan was still besieging the Chinese team’s goal.
The cheers in the stands grew louder and louder.
It was under such circumstances that the commentator of Uzbekistan’s national television said what he just said.
As a senior sports commentator, how could he not know how difficult it is to reverse and eliminate the Chinese team at home? How could he not know how annoying the Chinese team’s away goal advantage is?
But he won't mention this to the fans.
What the national team needs now is encouragement and trust, rather than seemingly rational and calm analysis.
Everyone talks about "creating miracles", but if there is no soil for the birth of miracles, how can we create miracles?
Now we must unite everyone to believe that Uzbekistan can make a comeback. This is creating the soil where miracles can be born.
Psychological power is relatively illusory, but sometimes it can really work.
There is no precedent in football matches where the opponent is beaten and the game collapses within ten minutes.
Since other teams can do it, why can’t we in Uzbekistan?
Not to mention that the opponent Chinese team has a "good tradition" of collapse in history.
How did we score our goal in the first half? Wasn't it because we kept putting pressure on their defense, which ultimately made them lose sight of one thing and made a fatal mistake?
Since we could do it in the first half, we can do it in the second half too!

"The situation is very unfavorable for us now. But no matter how hard it is, we have to grit our teeth and endure it!" He Feng also said this through gritted teeth.
He, the commentator, was also very nervous during this period.
Although the Chinese team still leads by two goals in the total score, it is hard to say whether the difference between the two goals can be regarded as an advantage.
It is really going to collapse. Let alone two goals, it will be over even if it leads by three goals.
That’s why he hopes that the Chinese team can withstand it no matter what.
It’s not that we hope that the Chinese team will defend and not concede a goal until the end of the game - facing such a ferocious Uzbekistan, that is really unrealistic and a bit overwhelming.
But he also hopes to extend the gap between losing the ball very far.
In this way, even if Uzbekistan does equalize the total score in the end, the game is probably over.
Even if the Chinese team loses this game, it is not considered a collapse.
It was not only He Feng who was frightened, but also the Chinese fans in front of the TV.
Xie Lan couldn't sit on the sofa and watch the game at all. She stood in front of the sofa, her hands folded on her chest, staring at the TV screen nervously, unable to say a word.
Hu Lixin behind her performed much better. At least he could still sit on the sofa, but his expression was still a little solemn, and he had to glance at the game time on the TV broadcast from time to time.
Then calculate silently in your mind:
The entire match has lasted for sixty-three minutes, and there are still twenty-seven minutes left before the end of the ninety-minute match.
Including three minutes of injury time...no, five minutes...six minutes, considering that the Chinese team may use tactics to delay the game, it is normal for the injury time to be longer in the second half.
Six minutes of injury time, plus 27 minutes, there are still 33 minutes left.
Uzbekistan must score three more goals in these 33 minutes to ensure its qualification to compete with Paraguay for the final World Cup spot.
How could the Chinese team do it unless their defense collapsed instantly?
Thinking this in his heart, Hu Lixin's brows did not relax at all.

When considering the defensive hardness, many people will turn their attention to Wang Guangwei.
Yao Huasheng is the captain of the Chinese team, an experienced old guard. He has never seen any big storms. No matter how much everyone distrusts anyone, it is impossible not to distrust him, Yao.
So since Mao Junzheng was injured, Wang Guangwei, who replaced Mao Junzheng as the starting center back of the national team, has naturally become the subject of nervous scrutiny.
Everyone knows that a central defender needs experience and a calm personality. Therefore, those who can play in this position are basically older, and it is normal for them to gradually emerge after the age of twenty-five.
But Wang Guangwei is only 23 years old this year, and he was pushed to play the main role in the national team, and then faced such an important moment.
Can he withstand Uzbekistan’s fierce offensive?
This has become a question and worry in the minds of many people.
But in fact, Wang Guangwei has played as the main force for Anton Shining Stars for three and a half seasons, and as a main player has won the Chinese League Championship, the Football Association Cup Championship and the Chinese Super League Championship. Since being selected for the Olympic team, he has also been the main player and won many awards.
I have won the East Asian Cup and the U23 Asian Cup, participated in the Olympic Games, and played in the AFC Champions League...
In fact, he has quite a lot of game experience that a professional player should have, and he is even more experienced and knowledgeable than many of his peers.
Those who just look at his age and take it for granted that Wang Guangwei is too embarrassed to hold a big position have fallen into the misunderstanding of empiricism and dogmatism.
Only those who know Wang Guangwei know how powerful he is.
Otherwise, Shi Wuyin would not have decisively chosen to promote Wang Guangwei and Yao Hua after Mao Junzheng was injured, instead of other central defenders who are older than Wang Guang.
Wang Guangwei’s father was sitting in front of the TV, staring at the TV screen with a solemn expression.
His wife glanced at him: "Are you worried that your son will take the blame again?"
He glared at his wife: "What nonsense! This is an excellent opportunity for Guangwei."
It was the wife's turn to be surprised: "You would also say such a thing? Aren't you always worried that Guangwei will go to the national team as a scapegoat?"
"How old is that?" The husband waved his hand, "It seems that the situation is very critical now, but it is games like this that can train Guangwei. Only after experiencing such scenes can we talk about growth... Of course,
The premise is that he can withstand it."
In the end, he accidentally revealed a little worry about his son.

The Chinese team finally withstood the wave of offensive frenzy after Uzbekistan’s goal.
Whether it is Wang Guangwei or Yao Huasheng, as well as other Chinese team players, everyone is trying their best to participate in the defense. Hu Lai is no exception - although the role he can play in the defense is really very small...
But no matter what, they survived this storm.
They are safe until the next storm comes.
In fact, Uzbekistan does not want to just retreat, but unfortunately this stormy attack cannot continue forever - they simply do not have the physical fitness to ensure this rhythm.
At the back of the attack, there were several times when the connection was not tight enough and teammates did not respond promptly enough, which allowed the Chinese team to counterattack to their 30-meter zone.
If we don't adjust our rhythm, I'm afraid we will be directly stolen by the Chinese team.
So Uzbekistan made adjustments, recycled appropriately, and made room for the Chinese team to attack.
The Chinese team then attacked.
Hulai’s header in the penalty area was blocked by goalkeeper Abramovich, and the Chinese team won a corner kick.
This is the first corner kick for the Chinese team in the second half.
“The Chinese team won a corner kick and must take advantage of the opportunity to set the ball in the frontcourt to cause trouble for Uzbekistan...”
During He Feng's commentary, the two central defenders, Yao Huasheng and Wang Guangwei, both ran up from the backcourt and stood directly in front of Uzbekistan's goal.
Mrs. Namozo was in the penalty area, pointing at Hulay and shouting: "Keep an eye on Hulay! Don't let him run away!"
He knew that Hu Lai, who didn't seem to have a good height or weight, had an extraordinary talent in judging where the football would land. So even if there were people in the penalty area and there was no space for a corner kick, Hu Lai would be the same.
The number one threat to the Chinese team.
As expected, Hu Lai did not stand at his original position, but ran forward, trying to get rid of the defense.
But no matter where he ran, there were Uzbek players blocking him...
Like a dragnet, it hung over his head.
Zhang Qinghuan, who was taking the corner kick, raised his right hand upon seeing this and told the whole team the code for the corner kick.
Hulai’s run caused a bit of chaos in Uzbekistan’s penalty area, and he was just fishing in troubled waters!
After the referee blew the whistle, Zhang Qinghuan took two steps and kicked the football towards the goal.
The ball flies high in the air and passes the front point.
Hulay in front struggled hard and took off with two Uzbek defense players, but they were all far away from the football.
After passing over Hu Lai’s head, the football continued to fly backwards!
There, Wang Guangwei, who was originally in the middle, had turned around and retreated and ran over!
Taking advantage of Yao Huasheng's opportunity to attract the attention of Uzbekistan's defensive players in the middle, he jumped high without being marked, bent down and rushed to the top!
Handed it firmly!
"Wang Guangwei - Go to the top!!! Good goal! The ball is scored——!! At the most dangerous time, the Chinese team scored again! Leading Uzbekistan 2:1 in this game, the total score is 4:1!
With less than thirty minutes left in the game, the Chinese team still maintains a three-goal lead! We... can breathe a sigh of relief!"
Next to him, Yan Kang smiled and said: "I know there will be people worried about whether the young Wang Guangwei can withstand the offensive frenzy of Uzbekistan just now. But it turns out that he not only successfully withstood it, he also completed the defensive task in another way -
—Score from a corner kick! To help the Chinese team defend by scoring goals, this is really...the best defense is to attack, ha!"
Wang Guangwei looked very excited after scoring the goal. He was so excited that he almost took off his clothes. His usual calm image was gone.
He had both hands on the hem of his jersey, and then he remembered that he would be given a yellow card for taking off his clothes to celebrate.
As a central defender, once he gets a yellow card, he will be playing football in shackles in the next game...
But it seems a bit silly to just let go...
So Wang Guangwei had an idea, and while running to the corner flag area, he kept fanning the hem of his jersey with both hands, as if he was fanning himself.
He celebrated his first goal in the national team with such a weird action.
Wang Guangwei's father jumped up from the sofa in front of the TV with excitement, raising his arms in the air: "Beautiful!!"
The wife looked at the yelling husband and covered her mouth with laughter.
