November 11, 2011, Tegucigalpa, Honduras, National Stadium.
What is happening here today is the first round of the 2018 Russia World Cup qualifiers. Honduras faces the Chinese Men’s Football Team at home.
Tong Yi sat in a box in the stands. Next to him were Nian Donglai, Hua Changqing and other leaders of the Chinese Football Association.
Yes, they are still sitting together.
Tong Yi has no intention of avoiding suspicion at this time, because he knows very well that the more you avoid suspicion at this time, the more these media reporters will think that you are secretive. Therefore, Tong Yi is too lazy to pay attention to these media reporters.
, just be yourself.
For this game, Tong Yi naturally hopes that the Chinese men's football team can win.
However, this is an away game, and this away game is very difficult.
You have to know that the Honduran fans at the scene are very fanatical. The fans in the Americas are mainly fanatical. Moreover, the security measures and bans at the stadium here are relatively loose. The main theme of this scene is to be hot.
Many people even climbed directly onto the protective net, waving flags and shouting.
And there were many people beating the protective net crazily.
Of course, the people outside the stadium were even more enthusiastic and enthusiastic, and some even climbed trees to watch the game for free.
It is indeed very difficult to play away games in such a fanatical atmosphere, and the psychological pressure will be relatively high.
And it will also be uncomfortable to adapt to.
What's more important is that the Chinese men's football players are still a little uncomfortable with the weather.
Therefore, Tong Yi doesn’t know how well the Chinese men’s football team can play in this game. However, this game will indeed be difficult!
However, Tong Yi still seems to be full of expectations for this game.
At this time, Nian Donglai suddenly asked, "Director Tong, do you think our Chinese men's football team can win this game?"
To be honest, Nian Donglai and Hua Changqing are really nervous now.
The results of these two games have a very big impact on them, and they are also far-reaching. They attach great importance to these two games, and even Hua Changqing's hands are shaking a little.
When Hua Changqing heard this, he also turned to look at Tong Yi.
Tong Yi smiled bitterly and said, "I'm not a god, how could I know? However, I hope that the Chinese men's football team can win. Even if they can't win, they still have to score an away goal, so that they can be better after returning to the home court."
It’s better to kick some more.”
Hua Changqing and Nian Donglai nodded slightly when they heard this. It was indeed like this. Even if they couldn't win, it would be best to score more away goals in this game, so that they would have a greater chance of returning home.
But in this away game, the Chinese men's football team should be more conservative and focus on defensive counterattacks, right?
After all, there is still a home game to play later, and it is easier to let go when you return to the home court. So at this time, it is better to play it safe and don't let the second round of the game turn into garbage. It's time. In this game, it's about keeping hope, and even making this hope become bigger and bigger.
Honduras plays at home, and the fans want the team to play more unrestrainedly!
But to be honest, most of Honduras' tactics are based on defensive counterattacks, and their defensive players are very capable. Moreover, the frontcourt players are known for their speed and are very threatening in counterattacks. But their foot skills
It's not very precise, it's even a little rough, so it's not suitable for football that focuses on passing and controlling.
So, Honduras should also be defensive and counterattacking in this game, right?
Moreover, in this game, their core players Elis and Menor Figueroa are both suspended, so their strength is greatly reduced. This should strengthen their defensive tactics, right?
However, this is their home court, so they may have some different ideas.
Sure enough, after the game started, Honduras played very unrestrainedly. They focused all their energy on offense. Maybe they thought that Honduras was stronger than the Chinese men's football team. After all, they had also won two consecutive World Cups.
They have all entered the top 32, and the Chinese men’s football team has not participated in the World Cup for many years. They think there should be no big problem in defeating the Chinese men’s football team, right?
Therefore, at the beginning of the game, Honduras played very proactively and attacked fiercely.
Yuan Zhen's side predicted Honduras' tactics for this game very accurately. The Chinese Men's Football Team set up a defensive counterattack. Therefore, Honduras seemed to be attacking hard all the time, but there were really not many opportunities.
.The main reason is that they are rough and can't fight with too fine offensive coordination.
However, Honduras' personal abilities are still outstanding.
Because their physical fitness is very good, they mostly fight alone.
In addition, the two wingers frequently kicked the ball, which threatened the goal of the Chinese men's football team. The Chinese fans who came from afar to see this were very worried and nervous. It looked like they were about to lose the ball.
.
Hua Changqing and Nian Donglai were restless.
However, Tong Yi is relatively calm.
Don't look at the fact that Honduras played very vigorously in the first half of the game, seemingly suppressing the Chinese men's football team. But there were not many substantial threats, and there was only one chance to really threaten the Chinese men's football goal. That time the goalkeeper
Yan Yanlin made a meritorious service and kept the football firmly under his body.
In the first half of the game, the Chinese men's football team got two very good counterattack opportunities.
If these two opportunities are grasped well, the Chinese men's football team will be in the lead now.
One of the times was when Wu Lei himself made a mistake and made the same old habit again. He even hit a one-handed ball.
It missed the target. The second time, the opponent's goalkeeper Escobe showed great courage, reaching to the side like lightning to block the Chinese men's football team Yan Yufeng's shot from the bottom line.
Yes, Yan Yufeng, a young Chinese player from Crystal Palace, appeared in the starting lineup for this game.
Yuan Zhen is really bold!
However, Yan Yufeng did perform well in the Crystal Palace during this period. Although he played as a substitute for most of the time, he was really pretty good and was good among Chinese men's football players. Yuan Zhen
He didn't care about Yan Yufeng's youth and directly entrusted him with important tasks.
Don't tell me that Yan Yufeng is really doing well.
Because Yan Yufeng has obvious characteristics, such as fast speed, balanced left and right feet, and a good passing ability. The only thing missing is his shooting skills and experience.
However, this is quite explosive in the Chinese men's football team.
That's why he became the starter of the Chinese men's football team at such a young age.
Of course, this is mainly due to the courage of the head coach of the China Men's Football Team, Yuan Zhen, and the unconditional support of Yuan Zhen from senior management Nian Donglai and Hua Changqing. Otherwise, players like Yan Yufeng would not have been able to enter China so quickly.
Men's football team and starts the game.
In this half of the game, Yan Yufeng's performance was pretty good.
It's a pity that he didn't seize the opportunity with that shot. If his shooting skills were better, the ball might have already broken through the Honduras goal.
This is really a pity!
It is precisely because of these two counterattacks by the Chinese Men's Football Team that the Hondurans have calmed down a lot. They really don't dare to attack unscrupulously anymore. They are also afraid of the Chinese Men's Football Team's counterattacks.
Therefore, at the end of the second half of the first half, both teams played a little more restrained and coordinated.
Seeing this, the Honduran fans at the scene couldn't accept it. They all criticized the players in the stadium crazily and expressed their dissatisfaction. They were part of the team's crazy attack.
After all, you can't beat the Chinese Men's Football Team at your home court. Do you still expect to beat the Chinese Men's Football Team in an away game?
Come on, attack and win this game.
The Honduran fans couldn't wait any longer and jumped up and down in the stands, putting pressure on the players crazily.
It is a pity that the Honduran players did not attack rashly.
Therefore, the first half of the game ended peacefully, the score was zero to zero.
Tong Yi was quite satisfied with this half. Yuan Zhen's tactics were well planned. If it weren't for bad luck, it would be hard to say that the Chinese men's football team would have taken the lead now and could play well.
In this regard, Yuan Zhen has done better than the opponent's coach, so on the whole, the Chinese men's football team in the away game has not suffered a loss. It will be beneficial to the Chinese men's football team to continue playing like this. Of course, Tong Yi is still
I look forward to the Chinese men's football team scoring a goal, after all, there is a guest The style of play will be different between scoring at home and without away goals, and the mentality will be different.
Therefore, the second half of the game is very important, try to score goals as much as possible.
During the halftime break, Tong Yi also expressed his thoughts to Nian Donglai and Hua Changqing. The Chinese men's football team is currently playing well. If there are no surprises in the second half, the result of this game will be different.
It will disappoint them.
Nian Donglai and Hua Changqing became happy.
However, Tong Yi also performed. Judging from the performance of the two teams in the first half of the game, the two teams may not be able to decide the winner until they return to the home court of the Chinese Men's Football Team. Nian Donglai and the two said that it is okay.
As long as the Chinese men's football team can get a bargain in this game, it will be fine. When they return to their home court, the Chinese men's football team will not let Honduras down.
Tong Yi nodded slightly and thought so.
Soon the second half of the game between the two sides began.
In the second half of the game, Honduras played a little more violently than in the first half. Obviously during the halftime break, the opposing head coach asked them to play more proactively in the second half. They wanted the team to play more aggressively.
Able to score in the second half and win the second half.
The home court is very important to Honduras, so it is natural to win it.
Therefore, Honduras played very fiercely in the second half of the game.
Tong Yi had expected it, and it seemed that Yuan Zhen had also expected it. In the second half of the game, the Chinese men's football team strengthened its defense, so currently Honduras is playing very fiercely and has no chance of shooting.
There are some, but most of them are long shots or headers from No. 4.
However, the Hondurans do have the potential to be a genius. Their long-range shooting ability is really magical, and sometimes the long-range shooting is very accurate. Therefore, during this period, the Chinese men's football team was quite uncomfortable playing defensively.
It was also very hard to prevent the Hondurans from taking long shots easily.
Honduras was really almost unlucky. There were two good opportunities in the second half of the game, but unfortunately they failed to score the goal of the Chinese men's football team. This made the fans in Honduras feel very regretful.
The Chinese men's football team also missed a very, very good opportunity in the second half of the game.
This time it was not a counterattack, but a corner kick opportunity.
Yan Yufeng's corner kick went directly to the back post. Zhang Linpeng, who was in the back post, just jumped up and shook his head to attack the goal. The football actually hit the goal post and bounced out of the baseline.
This should be the closest opportunity for both sides to score a goal.
It's a pity that the Chinese men's football team's luck was not particularly good, and the goal was not scored.
In the end, the two sides ended up with a goalless draw at home in Honduras. The Chinese men's football team also failed to complete the task and did not score an away goal. However, if you think about it carefully, this result is acceptable. Next, the two sides will return to the game.
The home court of the Chinese men's football team will decide the outcome.
