Unexpectedly, in the last group match, the situation of the Chinese team was very difficult! In Group A, except for the fact that the Chinese team won both games and qualified, Bahrain had one draw and one loss, Indonesia had one win and one loss, and Qatar had one draw and one loss.
, all have a chance to qualify!
So in this last game, Qatar fought hard against the Chinese team! The Chinese team was a little relaxed to begin with, so it was caught off guard and the game was ugly. The Chinese team, which continued its main lineup from the previous game, faced the Qatar team that frequently committed small fouls.
, not very adaptable both physically and mentally, so the whole first half was a close match, and we returned to the locker room 0:0.
Even though the coach didn't say anything during the halftime break, Sun Jihai also reminded Wang Ai, Bai Guanghai, Luo Tongliang and others with his eyes: It's our turn, get ready!
Li Jinyu is a bit unlucky. Although he played hard, he actually didn't score a single goal after two and a half games. You must know that his playing time is longer than Wang Ai's, and he has already started twice. So his actions are very
I'm a little impatient, but the more impatient I am, the harder I get.
On the contrary, it was the substitute full-back. Xu Yunlong, who started this game, found a good opportunity to score in the 10th minute of the second half. After receiving Li Weifeng's header, he successfully grabbed the point and changed the score.
Apart from anything else, Ali Haan's ability to train substitute players is amazing! This is Xu Yunlong's first start in three games!
However, this did not make the Qatar team give up. There were endless rude little moves. Zheng Zhi was violated continuously, which made people anxious. Ali made a prompt decision and replaced Zheng Zhi for protection, and named Luo Tongliang to come on!
Luo Tongliang is not as comprehensive as Zheng Zhi, but he is much tougher than Zheng Zhi! When someone bumps into him, he doesn't care, and the person who bumps into him hurts all over. When someone kicks him, he feels like he is kicking him, and the person he kicks is everywhere.
Rolling on the ground holding his feet.
His appearance on the field made the Chinese team's already weak defense even tougher, but the offense has not shown much improvement. Li Ming's performance was still positive, but the smooth organization of the Chinese team's frontcourt was interrupted by frequent fouls, and he could not stand alone.
The biggest change is Yan Song on the left. The youngster’s smooth left breakthrough in the first two games almost disappeared, and he was severely restricted by Qatar’s foul tactics.
Therefore, less than three minutes after Zheng Zhi came off the field, Yan Song was replaced by Sun Jihai.
Bai Guanghai and Wang Ai, who were still waiting off the court, looked at each other with electric sparks: Are you going to go up or am I going to go up? In the end, Ali Haan’s choice is... Li Yi!
Indonesia is currently the only opponent with one win and one loss, but even if the Chinese team loses, Indonesia wins the last game and the Chinese team ranks first in terms of goal difference. So, it is better to give more players opportunities to practice.
The appearance of Sun Jihai and Li Yi revitalized the Chinese team's frontcourt to a certain extent, but it did not make a big difference. The Qatar team had no good way to defeat the Chinese team's tight defense, and the time was just one point away from the score of 1:0.
The passing of a drop.
With the hope of qualifying getting weaker and weaker, the Qatar team's performance became more and more rude, and finally the Iranian referee who couldn't stand it showed a red card.
In the 75th minute of the game, Wang Ai suddenly stood up and walked to the sidelines, holding his hands to his mouth: "Lao Luo, shoot!"
Luo Tongliang happened to run to the sidelines at this time and heard Wang Ai's shout. He didn't even look at Ali Haan and nodded directly.
Strictly speaking, Wang Ai was interfering with the work of the coaching staff, so Wang Ai, who felt guilty, did not dare to look at the coaching staff and returned directly to the bench. After the game, Zheng Zhi sat aside and whispered after two minutes: "Everyone qualified."
Already."
Wang Ai hummed: "We still have to win a big victory."
Zheng Zhi said nothing and looked at Wang Ai doubtfully.
"Brother Zheng, we have three games ahead, and each game is a hurdle. If we lose this game, or win just one goal, the opponent will look at it and think, oh, the Chinese team had either five or six in the first two games.
, but it turned out that there was only one in this game. The Chinese team is so afraid of hurtful tactics! Then the opponent will definitely strengthen this aspect, so what if red and yellow cards are given?"
Speaking of this, Wang Ai confidently pointed to the court: "Now in Asia, our Chinese team has the highest value! We don't want to touch a stone with our eggs, and we will never give face to the opponent's foul tactics. We are afraid of this.
Every game, the opponent can only become more and more fierce! So not only must we win, we must also score more goals!”
Zheng Zhi nodded silently! What Wang Ai meant was: The more you play foul tactics against me, the harder I will beat you!
He was about to go abroad soon, so he paid special attention to his health. But before he could say anything, he heard the noise in the workers' gym starting like a pot exploding.
The two people hurriedly looked up at the big screen. A few seconds later, the replay on the big screen showed that Luo Tongliang, with the assistance of Chen Yang and Zhang Yonghai, assisted from the backcourt and shot a long shot from 40 meters away from the goal.
In the slow playback of the replay, the speed of this ball was also extremely astonishing, almost hitting the goal in a straight trajectory. The Qatar goalkeeper had no reaction to this.
"These legs are really strong!" Zheng Zhi clapped and sighed in a low voice. He is all-powerful, but he has no unique skills. Many people envy him, and he also envies Luo Tongliang. Because people with unique skills always give people a sense of expectation, and once
Realization is cheered by everyone. For a versatile player like Zheng Zhi, playing time is guaranteed, but the sense of expectation is not strong.
Amidst the hugs from his teammates, Lao Luo looked to the sidelines. Among the coaches and substitute players who all stood up to congratulate him, although Xiao Wang also applauded, his expression was not very relaxed.
Okay! Lao Luo took a deep breath. After the game restarted, he turned on the plug-in mode and dribbled the ball forward very actively, looking for opportunities to score!
For a defender like him, Qatar obviously didn't pay much attention to him before the game, because in the previous two games, Luo Tongliang didn't even provide assists, and honestly played the role of destroyer and defender in the backcourt. So he played again.
Before and after, the opponent's input of troops was limited. As a result, towards the end of the game, Luo Tongliang once again succeeded with a long-range shot.
It is worth mentioning that this long-range shot hit a defender's leg and slightly changed direction and went into the net. But this defender, who was "mantising his arms like a car", lay down directly and never got up.
Luo Tongliang's long-range shot was once evaluated by Xu Genbao as "the moving Carlos heavy artillery". Is it so easy to block?
After the game, the first one to rush onto the turf was not a player, but Ali Haan. He excitedly hugged Luo Tongliang's head and kissed him twice! Facing reporters, he loudly said: "Seeing him, I feel like I saw the former player.
I!"
In the third game of the Asian Cup group stage, Luo Tongliang not only won the best of the match with two long-range shots, but also won the favor of head coach Ali Hahn and declared his status to the Chinese football world!
His efforts to turn the tide also furthered the status of the "Tubingen system" in the national football team.
