Although Queiroz used a generous smoke screen before the game to sing praises to Chinese football, and said that Chinese football has done well by investing in big clubs in recent years, and that Chinese football has a good atmosphere and is very likely to enter the World Cup this time, but during the game,
Iran, playing away from home, clearly had a firm grasp on the situation on the field.
The control of the situation here does not mean that Iran is suppressing the Chinese team, but that the tactics set by Queiroz before the game were successfully implemented.
In this game, Perrin, who was criticized in the last game, suddenly became extremely aggressive. The formation changed from 5-4-1 to 4-2-3-1. In addition, Ding Huaiyi, Xu Mingyu, Qin Minghao and Tao Wentao all played.
Nie Jiang is on the striker, and Xiao Yunfan is on the left back. This is the strongest offensive lineup that the Chinese team can currently put together.
There have been rumors that Li Yun had a conflict with Perrin, and Li Yun, who would be hidden, still stood at the position of central defender.
Queiroz has obviously worked hard on the Chinese team's attacking formation that is determined to win.
Considering that the overall age of the team's defense is relatively old, and it was an away game, Queiroz chose to defend and counterattack - this was different from Perrin's in the last game. Others used both defense and counterattack.
The four-man offensive combination of Jahanbakash, Shojai, Amiri, and Azmoun in the frontcourt is very active. When it is time to invest in the offense, the four people never hesitate to attack back and forth with their physical strength.
Atletico Madrid's youth training youngster Izaturahi, who is responsible for the offensive connection between the two defensive midfielders, lived up to his reputation as "Persian Pogba" and provided a lot of offensive help to the four teammates in the frontcourt.
The defense composed of several experienced veterans was very stable and did not give the Chinese team many opportunities. Of course, this is also related to Perrin's offensive tactical arrangement-in the absence of Zou Weijia, the Chinese team frequently started to attack.
The high ball goes to Nie Jiang in the frontcourt. No matter in terms of height or physical strength, Nie Jiang is at a disadvantage compared with several Iranian backcourt defensive players.
The Chinese team's style of play was completely incomprehensible to the two commentators.
Huang Jianxiang, the commentator sent by LeTV, looked puzzled: "The attack was too hasty. This offensive combination of all Longteng players should be more on the ground. Their technology supports them to play like this, and they are used to playing like this. Why?
High ball."
Huang Jianxiang's doubts, his partner Liu Jianhong also agreed very much: "Nie Jiang worked very hard, constantly competing with the opponent's players for high balls, but the method was wrong, and his efforts were a bit wasted..."
Halfway through Liu Jianhong's words, something suddenly changed in favor of the Chinese team on the court. At the 15th minute of the first half, Nie Jiang and the Iranian team's center back Montazeri took off at the same time to grab the high ball. The result was a very ordinary mid-air shot.
During the fight for the top, Montazeri couldn't get up after landing. After the Iranian team's doctor examined him, they found that Montazeri's shoulder was dislocated and he could no longer hold on.
The backbone of the Iranian team's defense is off the field.
"Nie Jiang is tough now." Huang Jianxiang couldn't openly gloat, but it was okay to hold back a smile and praise his players in a roundabout way, "Montazeri is the absolute main force in the Iranian team's defense.
"
Queiroz was very unhappy at this time. Husseini, the core of the team's defense, was unwell and did not start. Unexpectedly, Montazeri, the most experienced player, was injured again. At this time, he couldn't think about that much and could only let Husseini take the lead.
Went up.
But thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, just five minutes later, the Chinese team was hit even harder than the Iranian team - the main goalkeeper Zengcheng was kicked and injured by the opponent's forward while trying to save a one-on-one ball.
He received a yellow card, but as the Chinese team's most stable goalkeeper in the past year or so, he was forced to leave the game.
"This..." Huang Jianxiang said worriedly, "Huang Dawei replaced Zengcheng. Although the Chinese team conceded three goals in the last game, to be honest, Zengcheng actually had little responsibility. On the contrary, he saved at least three
It is a must-goal. There is no doubt about Huang Dawei’s strength, but it’s hard to tell if he comes on the field so rashly.”
Seeing Huang Dawei on the sidelines stretching and warming up while he was recovering from his injury in Zengcheng, Liu Jianhong comforted Huang Jianxiang and said: "Although Huang Dawei is young, he has a lot of competition experience. He is now racing against time to warm up."
The self-consolation of the two commentators did not have any effect. Huang Dawei obviously did not warm up enough when he came on the field. In the 23rd minute of the first half, just over a minute after Huang Dawei came on the field, the Iranian team used the ball from the wing to lob it into the penalty area.
, Facing Azmoun’s high-jumping header in the center of the penalty area, Huang Dawei’s reaction was obviously a little slow. By the time he pounced, the football had already flown towards the goal.
Fortunately, the Chinese team was lucky this time. The ball was not within the goal range and slightly missed the goal post.
In the next 33 minutes, Zhang Linpeng's return pass obviously did not go together with Huang Dawei. Shaojiay quickly rushed over to grab the pass. Fortunately, Huang Dawei was more focused and rushed out of the penalty area with a big kick.
The ball went wide of the sideline.
This mistake made Perrin, who was like an old monk, unable to sit still. He ran to the sidelines and yelled a few words, asking the defender to be more careful when passing the ball.
It should be said that the consequences of Huang Dawei's long-term absence from training with the national team have come to light. If Zengcheng had been left on the court, such dangerous mistakes would never have occurred.
After these two mistakes, Huang Dawei finally passed the adaptation period and began to slowly pass the ball in the backcourt. What is even more gratifying is that several players in the frontcourt of the Chinese team discovered that simple lobs
After being unable to obtain good offensive effects, he began to "take it upon himself" to engage in ground coordination.
In the 40th minute of the first half, Qin Minghao no longer kicked the ball easily after getting the ball. He looked around at his teammates, handed the ball to Tao Wentao who was closest to him, and then started asking Tao Wentao for the ball.
This is obviously a pass-and-control style of play.
Tao Wentao is very familiar with this style of play. As soon as the football was returned to Qin Minghao, Tao Wentao quickly started running, letting Xu Mingyu in the back midfielder come up to fill the position.
The Chinese team's small three-person cooperation on the right wing quickly attracted the attention of four or five Iranian players. Tao Wentao flicked the ball in the middle to avoid the Iranian team's defense, and then suddenly turned around.
In the direction of attack, because Xiao Yunfan from the left came up with an assist, Ding Huaiyi also went deep behind the opponent's full-back.
Relying on the attack from the right, the Chinese team made a false shot and turned to the left, which was left empty. A rare opportunity came.
"A good opportunity for the Chinese team." Huang Jianxiang was also excited by the series of beautiful quick passes of the Chinese team, "Xiao Yunfan and Ding Huaiyi's consecutive one-twos were beautiful. Ding Huaiyi's pass, no look pass! It's so imaginative.
"
Because of the team's long pass tactics, Ding Huaiyi, who had been depressed for a long time, used his special skills. When his head was looking at Xiao Yunfan on the left wing, his foot made a through ball to the right. Nie
Jiang also understood the situation and penetrated from outside the penalty area into the penalty area.
The Iranian team's defense was obviously not mentally prepared. As soon as Nie Jiang countered offside, it immediately became a one-man goal. Although the Iranian team's goalkeeper Beiranvand decisively rushed out of the small penalty area to block Nie Jiang's shot.
But after seeing Nie Jiang lift the ball lightly, he completely resigned himself to his fate.
Maybe God is fair. Just now, the Iranian team failed to score two consecutive good opportunities. This time, the Chinese team was also a bit unlucky. Although the football went over Beiranvand's head, Nie Jiang's lob was slightly stronger.
It was too big, and the football slightly went over the crossbar and landed on the top of the net.
The Iranian team dodged a bullet.
Liu Jianhong felt regretful and even wanted to punch the table: "Oh! It's such a pity that the goal didn't go in. Nie Jiang's running position and lob shots are all very clever. Ding Huaiyi's elusive pass is so imaginative that the Chinese team
This is how we should play. We have such excellent players in front of us, so we should untie the shackles on them and let them perform."
"In our home court, we should have the momentum to compete for points." Huang Jianxiang also seemed confident, "When we compete with the Iranian team, we will use short attacks to gain long positions. We will continue to play like this."
Queiroz also reacted very quickly. After seeing the Chinese team starting to pass the ball and play on the ground, he stepped up the team's pressing in the midfield, especially against Qin Minghao, the core of the Chinese team's midfield, and their captain Taimurri.
An kept tight focus, preventing the former from comfortably connecting the ball in the midfield.
Temurian is able to become the first non-Japanese captain in the history of the Iranian national team as an Armenian and Christian in Iran, a ***** country, and to hold this position firmly. His ability is
Very outstanding.
Until the end of the first half, the Chinese team was unable to find any good offensive opportunities in the midfield, and the score was fixed at 0:0.
In the home team's locker room during the halftime break, Perrin called over Li Jinyu, a member of the Chinese coaching staff who was responsible for communicating tactics: "We have to be more cautious in our offense in the second half. Only one full-back can step up, and one of the two defensive midfielders must be responsible.
Defending later will not give the opponent a chance to counterattack."
Because Li Jinyu played in Nancy, France, and knew French, he naturally became a member of the Chinese coaching staff. He also didn’t understand Perrin’s offensive tactics of wanting to win and fearing to lose. The Chinese team’s two defensive midfielders were on the field.
, both Xu Mingyu and Zheng Zhi have the ability to organize attacks and even score goals from long range. Central defender Li Yun is also a rare modern central defender with foot skills.
In this way, they were forced to stay in the half court. It would be really weird for the Chinese team to attack the opponent's players. After hesitating for a while, Li Jinyu asked tentatively: "Are you sure? We must keep up to six players."
Players staying behind?”
Obviously Perrin did not expect that Li Jinyu, who always obeyed his tactics, also raised objections: "Of course. Getting one point against the Iranian team is a good result."
Li Jinyu turned to look at Li Yun and Qin Minghao, who were having a heated discussion on how to attack in the second half. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. The head coach obviously had extreme tactical differences with the two core players of the team.
Big differences, this is not a good thing.
Peilan clapped his hands to quiet the locker room, and then began to lay out tactics. Li Jinyu translated Peilan's words meticulously.
Sure enough, the excited expressions of Qin Minghao and Li Yun slowly solidified, and then turned from solidification to disdain. As the captain, Zheng Zhi can be regarded as "old and refined". After Li Jinyu finished the translation, he directly took over the topic.
: "Okay, we get it."
Zheng Zhi is also afraid that Li Yun or Qin Minghao will directly argue with Peilan, which will have a devastating impact on the team atmosphere. Even now, all the players are obviously aware of the gap between Longteng players and Peilan. After all, this matter
It was not put on the table, and everyone just ignored it.
After the start of the second half, the Iranian team maintained a calm style of play, while the Chinese team seemed extremely chaotic. Ding Huaiyi and Tao Wentao obviously took Peilan's words as deaf ears and pressed forward with all their strength. Xu Mingyu was in a dilemma, and the two wingers Xiao Yunfan and Zhang Linpeng were intimidated.
Qin Minghao, who is responsible for the connection, is completely confused. Everyone is not unified in their thinking. No matter how strong he is, he can't bring everyone together.
The Chinese team's attack, which is full of loopholes, obviously puts little pressure on the Iranian team's defense, allowing the Iranian team to counterattack with confidence.
In the 55th minute of the second half, after Xiao Yunfan got the ball, he didn't know who to pass it to. As a result, he was too late and the ball was intercepted by the opponent. Such a loss of the ball in the backcourt was extremely fatal. All Xiao Yunfan could do was commit a tactical foul.
After receiving a yellow card, Xiao Yunfan was furious.
"What's going on?" Liu Jianhong was a little confused, "Isn't the offense at the end of the first half well organized? Why did the players who had recovered physically play in a mess after the halftime break."
"The tactics are messy." Huang Jianxiang said bluntly, "I can't figure it out. Perrin has been coaching for a long time. Even the most basic tactics of the national team are now messed up. What is the system? How to play? It keeps changing. Anyway, I
I can’t understand it at all.”
Maybe Huang Jianxiang's words were too sharp. Liu Jianhong didn't say anything for a long time. After the air suddenly became awkwardly quiet for half a minute, he softened and said softly: "Since the players on the field cannot match Coach Perrin's tactics, I think they should be replaced."
The two commentators who almost talked to death fell silent, and the situation on the field returned to the situation at the beginning of the game. The Iranian team frequently used the two wingers to make fuss, and they, who have never lacked heavy gunners, even
After continuously attracting the Chinese team's defensive attention, he threatened the Chinese team's goal with long shots in the midfield.
In the 57th and 63rd minutes of the second half, long-range shots from Azmon and Jahanbakash forced Huang Dawei to make saves.
In the 67th minute, Iran made a change of pace. Azmoun pretended to kick in the middle, and then spiked the ball and passed the ball through to Shojai who came in behind, and the latter shot.
Li Yun tried his best to block the bottom line with his body.
"We can't play like this." Liu Jianhong, who has always been tactful, was also disappointed. "If you continue like this, you will really lose the ball. If you want to defend, just defend well. The front and backcourts are completely disconnected."
Huang Jianxiang, who was already angry, simply stopped answering.
