Wu Lei did indeed go directly into the penalty area.
Akhmedov also made the right bet. Wu Lei's shot was eager for success and he missed the right spot when he shot. In addition, he used too much force and the football flew high over the crossbar.
"Ah! We didn't even score. What a great opportunity." Huang Jianxiang's tone was obviously a little unhappy, but he quickly adjusted his mood, "Of course, our offensive routine has been laid out.
As long as we are more patient and smarter in shooting, we will be able to score a goal soon."
Players, commentators and fans all felt sorry, but head coach Lippi saw something different.
In his tactics, the three forwards have to interact with each other or even switch positions. Now the three of them obviously have a very high desire to shoot.
Lippi also understands the thoughts of these three forwards. On a night when a national team that has been waiting for sixteen years is about to qualify, whoever scores the first goal to break the deadlock will go down in history.
Not to mention that the Chinese team is currently in a good group situation and has a high probability of qualifying. Even if the shot fails, it will not affect the team's subsequent qualifying situation.
With these conditions in mind, those who have a chance to shoot will not seize the opportunity and shoot desperately.
Thinking of this, Lippi was a little angry.
The old coach has never seen anything like this. He had anticipated such obviously predictable things before the game, and he also specifically talked to several starting frontcourt players and wrote specifically about each of their games.
In the previous tactical summary.
What I didn't expect was that something like this still happened.
The old coach immediately walked to the sidelines and started shouting loudly to several players.
"Coach Lippi seems a little dissatisfied with the situation on the court." Seeing this scene, Huang Jianxiang expressed his concerns, "Our advantage was very obvious in the first half, and we had countless opportunities to score.
But now it is still 0:0. Our playing style is obviously more active than the opponent, but to put it bluntly, our advantage is based on more consumption, and our physical fitness in the second half will be a big problem for us."
"The only good news is that South Korea also has a very difficult home game. They are also 0:0 now. The difference is that Iran is resolutely playing defensive counterattack, and neither side has a threatening shot." Su Dong has been paying attention.
Referring to the information about the same round of competition from the commentary team, "But we can't place our hopes on others." Su Dong also expressed his thoughts.
Compared to the commentators, the fans in the stands and in front of the TV were much more optimistic.
At this time, Chen Jiangfeng served as a fan leader in one of the stands, organizing fans to cheer for the Chinese team. His girlfriend, as the leader of the "Beauty Fans Group" of the Longteng team, echoed her boyfriend's cheering rhythm.
The Chinese team’s wave of offensives are the g-point of their cheering. Every attack and every shot stimulates their cheering to reach a climax. The problem is that the goalposts, lintels, and sliding doors are knocked down again and again.
But it always leaves them just a little short of the real climax.
They were trapped in this mountain on the sidelines, and the excitement made them ignore the trace of regret.
As for the audience in front of the TV, they can’t compare to the fanaticism of the fans in the stands. Fake fans, Schrödinger fans, and cloud fans have a greater proportion of fans who follow the trend because of the good results of the national football team. Most of them don’t know much about football and only see the Chinese team.
When you fight with pressure on the opponent, you don't think too much and don't think too much.
Under the loud shouts of head coach Lippi, several frontcourt players on the field restrained themselves. The problem is that in just a few minutes, the Uzbekistan team has already reacted. Under the command of Deparov, the ball
The Chinese team retreated decisively, Akhmedov took over the defensive command, and the Chinese team lost its offensive deception and concealment.
In the end, when the Sri Lankan referee Pereira blew the whistle to end the first half, the score was fixed at 0:0.
The Chinese team failed to attack wildly in the first half, so they could only leave the court in despair and returned to the locker room.
Huang Jianxiang also sorted out his emotions and began to review the first half in the studio: "What do you think of the Chinese team's performance in the first half?"
He asked Su Dongdao.
"We have penetrated into the Uzbekistan team's penalty area many times through sports warfare, and the threat to the opponent has not weakened as the game progresses." Su Dong analyzed the tactics, "In this half of the game, the boys attacked
We dare to invest in the center, and the wing and center combine well. The opportunities they create are actually infinitely close to scoring. At the same time, it is obviously difficult for the opponent to defend us one-on-one. Technically, we have obvious advantages. I hope it can continue in the second half.
.However, in terms of defense, the opponent is now withdrawing to fight, and the opponent's counterattack needs our attention."
"That's true. After the opening, we played proactively, not only offensively, but also did a better job of counterattacking on the spot in the frontcourt. Our hard work was fine and our tactics were appropriate, but the players wanted to score too much.
The ball is in the air, and the feet tend to get tight when shooting." Huang Jianxiang said more about his own worries, "The three people in the midfield and the three in the frontcourt lack a sense of hierarchy, and there are problems with their positioning. When attacking, they almost all
Once we reach the front line, we should be more patient and our frontcourt should be able to slow down."
"Hopefully, these things can improve in the second half."
"We should give Coach Lippi confidence." At this point, Huang Jianxiang smiled and felt relieved about the coach.
It should be said that Huang Jianxiang's prediction was accurate. Lippi was in the locker room at this time and did not give any praise for the team's overpowering the opponent in the first half: "This is not the game I want to see."
"We are stronger than the opponent, and we are at home. We have had many opportunities, and these are all good. But if we don't score, these are just beeps." The always elegant old man even used swear words.
"I reminded you before the game. Most of the goals come from the team, not from individual recklessness. My team does not need people who are outside the team."
"We have practiced all the tactics many times in high temperatures during this period. I don't want these efforts to be in vain."
"Your problem is not at your feet, but here." Lippi finally said excitedly pointing to his forehead.
Although Lippi did not name him, several players in the frontcourt knew that he was talking about him. Under the pressure of the coach, they remained silent.
As the captain, Li Yun had to take responsibility at this time. He stood up and said: "Mr. Head Coach, it was my mistake. I will remind them in the second half."
In order to ensure Captain Li Yun's authority, Lippi shook his hand: "You don't need to apologize."
Qin Minghao, who is also a player studying abroad, quickly stood up: "It's my problem, Mr. Head Coach, I promise I will play smarter in the second half."
Nie Jiang, Wu Lei and several other frontcourt players also reacted. They immediately stood up and said in unison: "Me too."
Lippi was also satisfied at this time: "Now that you know the problem, let's recover our strength. We must ensure that in the first 30 minutes of the second half, we can continue the intensity of the first half."
Unlike the atmosphere in the Chinese team's locker room, Uzbekistan's head coach Babayan seemed much calmer: "Boys, you performed very well in the first half. We played like a real team."
"If everyone can be more dedicated and focused, then they will pose less of a threat to us."
"Good news has come from another court. Although the Korean team is at home, Iran, which has already qualified, has no idea of letting its opponent win easily. The game is very anxious, and the score is still 0:0."
"If, I say if, we can counterattack and score a goal in the second half to win the game, and the Korean team maintains this score, then in the last game, at our home court, we will take the initiative."
"Whether you can seize this opportunity and control your own destiny depends on your efforts. I believe God will bless us." Baba Yang encouraged everyone.
The fifteen-minute halftime break was fleeting, and soon the second half of the game officially began.
The Chinese team, with renewed energy, gave Uzbekistan a warning.
In the 47th minute, Wu Lei and Qin Minghao suddenly changed positions in the frontcourt. The two running forces also drove Uzbekistan's defensive formation. After Nie Jiang withstood the opponent's center back, the two full midfielders
The connection was successful, Ding Huaiyi sent a beautiful pass to Hao Junmin, who completed the shot without any defense.
"Shoot!!! Did it go in?" Su Dong shouted, "Unfortunately, it hit the side netting."
"It is indeed a pity, but this kind of play is something we did not see in the first half. The players in the frontcourt were more flexible in their movements. It can be said that in the first half we relied on the hard power of the players. This time
They played more like a team, more layered, and the opponent's defense was completely destroyed." Huang Jianxiang saw the good changes.
When the broadcast camera turned to the sidelines, Lippi finally smiled and applauded. This was a scene that had not been seen in so many attacks that almost scored goals in the first half.
However, just three minutes later, Lippi couldn't laugh anymore.
In the 50th minute, Zhang Linpeng assisted from the right to the frontcourt. After receiving the pass from Nie Jianghui, he rushed to the opponent's bottom line. The opponent's midfielder Bikmayev came to fill the position. He overtook the opponent forcefully.
As a result, under the double-teaming of Bikmayev and Denisov, Zhang Linpeng tripped and sprained his ankle.
The ankle has always been a pain point for Zhang Linpeng. Whether in real history or in this time and space, although Zhang Sheng's appearance changed Zhang Linpeng's career path, he could not change Zhang Linpeng's body.
In real history, Zhang Linpeng's decline in condition is closely related to injuries, especially ankle injuries.
He suffered a serious ankle injury in the 2012 Olympic qualifying match, and was injured again by a Japanese opponent in the 2013 AFC Champions League. Since then, his ankle has never been better, and has always been good and bad.
No matter how powerful Zhang Sheng is, he can't change the injuries that Zhang Linpeng had before time travel.
Now, although the Chinese team has an explosion of talent at right back, when it comes to competition experience, especially the experience of the national team, there is really no one who can compare with him, whether it is Xiang Tiange or Huang He.
Injuries on the court never depend on human will.
Zhang Linpeng was a well-known tough guy. He managed to get up and run a few more steps, but the pain in his ankle still made him give up and sit on the ground.
Thinking of not being able to finish this crucial game, this tough guy's eyes were a little red.
The doctor of the Chinese team quickly called for a stretcher to come in and transport Zhang Linpeng to the sidelines. Under the broadcast camera, everyone could see that the latter was covering his face with both hands.
"This is really an accident." Huang Jianxiang sighed and lamented, "Actually, the opponent's defensive action just now was not big. Zhang Linpeng stopped and turned too hard, and the entire body's center of gravity was pressed on his ankles."
"It's not good news." Su Dong also had a very bad feeling, "In this position, on the bench, both Xiang Tiange and Ren Xing can play, but the former lacks experience, and the latter is particularly strong in strength.
There is a certain gap compared to Zhang Linpeng in terms of assists."
"Then it depends on how coach Lippi chooses. This substitution should be able to clearly see the coach's strategic intention for this game. If I go to Tiange, I will definitely get three points. If I go to Tiange, I will
The priority is stability.”
Sudden player injuries also made Lippi very distressed. He arranged a strong attack tactic in the first 30 minutes at midfield, but this was based on Zhang Linpeng being able to stabilize the right wing. After all, Denisov's
The left wing is Uzbekistan's main attacking direction.
If we insist on attacking and let Xiang Tiange, who is strong in offense and weak in defense, go up, the Chinese team's right defense line will inevitably have great hidden dangers. If he is not taken up, the Chinese team's offense can be said to be useless.
The strategic mission of taking three points has failed.
The battle between heaven and man lasted less than a minute. While Zhang Linpeng was still recovering, Lippi made a decision - to go up to Tiange and use the midfielder's technical advantages and the advantage of the home court to try to get one ahead before his physical fitness reached a bottleneck.
ball.
"You need to protect Xiang Tiange's back more. Once the opponent counterattacks from the left, you are responsible for filling in. For at least twenty minutes, you don't have to worry about physical problems." While the Chinese team is making substitutions, both sides are present.
While briefly replenishing water, Lippi kept urging Xu Mingyu, and finally handed over the important task to Li Yun: "In the next game, your task will be even heavier. While helping Xu Mingyu defend, you must also remember to help Xiang Mingyu."
Tiange takes up the position and starts running."
Li Yun and Xu Mingyu nodded quickly and said, "I will, Mr. Head Coach."
At the same time, emergency arrangements were also being made in Uzbekistan. Baba Yangan couldn't help but be excited: "Our opportunity has come. On the right side of the Chinese team, according to the introduction we gave you before the game, the gap between the main force and the substitutes is still
It’s obvious. Although we thought it would be difficult for their substitution to happen before the game, now that it has happened, we shouldn’t miss the opportunity and just follow our analysis before the game.”
