At the critical moment of the competition, the two main forwards of the national team were injured at the same time at halftime. This was the most dangerous moment since the establishment of Ali Haan's national team. The teammates in the locker room faced the roaring Schubert, the silent Zhu Heyuan, and the astonished Wang
Ai, relatively speechless.
It's so critical that no one dares to make up his mind easily. Schubert cannot stop Bai Guanghai from playing in closed games. After all, he is just a high-level team doctor. But if Bai Guanghai does not perform well or his injury worsens during the game, he will not be able to stop him in the future.
If we investigate, who can withstand this problem? If Lao Bai is asked to seek medical treatment and finally compete, who can withstand this problem?
If Schubert hadn't shouted it out publicly, no one would have questioned the habit of shutting down the competition at all times, and it wouldn't have mattered if something went wrong in the end. But if he shouted it out like this, the decision-makers would be under a lot of pressure. Chinese football has too much attention.
Gao, there are too many fans. How can it be so easy to take responsibility for the loss of the game? It would be fine if it was just an ordinary leadership joint responsibility, and the fans would forget about it after scolding them for a while. But if the person directly responsible for making such a decision is
It will be nailed to the pillar of shame in the history of Chinese football.
It was so heavy that not to mention team leader Zhu Heyuan, even Nan Yong and Yan Shiduo did not dare to make up their mind easily.
In the depressing locker room, Wang Ai was stunned for a moment, then suddenly chuckled, breaking the silence. Wang Ai stood up and walked to Schubert, opened his arms, hugged the technical nerd, and then looked back.
All the teammates said: "I lured Lao Bai to Europe, and I hope that he will play for the country at critical moments. Now is a critical moment, but there will be many critical moments for the national team in the future, so we can't just focus on the present and ignore it.
future."
Speaking of this, Wang Ai smiled again: "I think this is life. Now I understand why the Football Association suddenly appointed me as captain before the game. At such a critical moment, a team doctor asked me if the injury could be treated
If the main force is replaced, can I do a good job as the main force? Do I dare to say that I can't?"
Sun Jihai, who was sitting in the crowd, burst out laughing, causing his teammates to chuckle.
Wang Ai turned to look at Ali Haan: "Coach, I think I can replace the injured Bai Guanghai. What do you think?"
Ali, who had been holding his shoulders and said nothing, had a smile in his eyes: "Okay, you and Xie Hui will appear at the same time in the second half. Xie Hui will play forward and you will play shadow forward. Now check the equipment and take the time to warm up."
Wang Ai and Xie Hui nodded at the same time, lowered their heads to pack their sneakers, socks, and shin pads. They stood up and adjusted the waistband of their shorts, then started running in the open space of the locker room with their legs high and pressing their legs, trying to keep their bodies, especially their lower limbs, as tight as possible.
Activities open.
A few minutes later, the Chinese and Korean teams re-entered the field. After Chen Jinjiang's explanation, the fourth official played the Chinese team's substitution card on the sidelines. Only then did the fans notice that the two main forwards, Bai Guanghai and Hao Haidong, had left the field and were replaced.
Got the news about Xie Hui and Wang Ai.
Fans were a little surprised by this substitution decision. After all, it was not the time when Wang Ai usually appeared, and it was very unusual to replace two forwards at the same time.
It was not until a few minutes later, when Lao Bai walked to the bench on crutches with the support of the team doctor that the fans and the on-site commentators realized that Lao Bai was injured. Hao Haidong did not come out at all when contacted. As you can imagine, Lao Hao finally
hurt.
It was only then that people generally thought of the tense first half and what it meant to the national football team.
The two sides exchanged positions, and no player had a smile on his face. The Qatar referee blew the whistle, and the second half of the game began.
As soon as the game started, Wang Ai clearly felt the hostility of the opposing players towards him, and his defensive actions were very fierce. Xie Hui was knocked down by a fierce collision just three minutes into the game, and it took him two minutes to stand up. Wang Ai watched.
It turned out that Xie Hui was not feeling very well, but he gritted his teeth. Both he and Wang Ai knew that Old Ali only had the last substitution spot left in his hands. In fact, among the players on the field, Bai Guanghai and Hao Haidong were relatively seriously injured, and the others were seriously injured.
Everyone, including Zheng Zhi and Zhang Yonghai, felt very uncomfortable.
In comparison, the South Korean team is much better, which may be related to the fact that their home league is also so fierce.
Seeing this scene, Wang Ai knew that it was impossible to stay back and wait for the Koreans to weaken their defensive strength before making a sneak attack. This was a tough battle in which they could not give in even a step. His teammates were very tired, many of them including Shao Jiayi
, Big names like Sun Jihai often look at him subconsciously.
Although he has made countless achievements in the national team, being regarded as dependent on so many teammates still makes Wang Ai feel tremendous pressure and motivation.
Wang Ai waved to his teammates to pass the ball to him more often.
His action made him, who was already the center of attention, even more of a point of confrontation between the two teams.
Wang Ai's playing style has never been so tough!
Even Tao Wei and Huang Jianxiang who were far away in the live broadcast room in Beijing were very surprised. They had the impression that Wang Ai was very slippery and tricky on the court, and rarely engaged in head-on confrontations. But now, almost every confrontation with the opponent's defender is...
It's head-on.
Once, twice, three times, four times... From the fifth minute to the fifteenth minute of the second half when Xie Hui fell down and got up, pushing, hitting, and elbowing surrounded Wang Ai. But people were more surprised to find that Wang Ai
He was almost unmoved. Most of the time, his open arms blocked the collision of his opponent's upper limbs. Even if he couldn't block it, Wang Ai could still stand tall if he really collided!
Gradually, the opponent's collision began to hesitate. Wang Ai felt uncomfortable, and of course they felt uncomfortable too. Those who ate Korean ginseng were not Transformers. One person's toughness and unrelenting fight gradually made the Korean team's defensive system in Wang Ai's case.
He was forcefully pushed back. By the way, he also "pulled" the Chinese team's teammates and squashed the Korean team's defensive system.
No matter how much the Korean team's head coach yells, at Wang Ai's point, the Korean team's defense is always hesitant and struggling.
In these ten minutes, the game was quite ugly. Even though Wang Ai often controlled the ball, he did not perform well. He just stood there and firmly established his position in front of Jin Dongjin and Li Youngpyo.
Changes will follow.
In the 26th minute of the second half, after an unsuccessful sneak attack by South Korean team forward Cao Zaizhen was resolved by the steady Zong Lei, full-back Sun Jihai quickly started to intervene and advanced along the sideline at high speed. Shao Jia turned around to respond, and after getting the ball, Wang quickly passed the ball.
After Ai got the ball, he took advantage of Jin Dongjin's slight hesitation and headed the ball to Xie Hui.
Xie Hui, who jumped up to fight for the top, was knocked out of balance by Li Rongyao who also jumped in the air. His body twisted and pushed the ball back. At this time, Wang Ai, who was following up, happened to be in position and hit the ball with his foot.
Pad, South Korean team goalkeeper Li Yunzai watched Wang Ai's touch of the ball closely, but was deceived by Wang Ai at the last moment and threw the ball in the wrong direction.
The football makes a white wave.
"Tiger!" Wang Ai, who spread his arms and had a ferocious face, let out a tiger roar, and then the stadium was filled with roars.
