"Now South Korea and Iran are still 0:0. For Uzbekistan, this is the best result. If they can get three points in this game, the score of the South Korean team will not change. The next game will be at their home court.
Facing the South Korean team, with only one point difference, the initiative is in their own hands. The previous forward had to put all his efforts into it." Su Dong analyzed his partner.
After Rashidov came on the field, Uzbekistan's formation changed from 4-2-3-1 to 4-1-3-2.
On the other hand, after Li Ming came on the field for the Chinese team, Qin Minghao retreated slightly to play as an attacking midfielder, Wu Lei also retreated to play as a right midfielder, and Hao Junmin moved in as a defensive midfielder. The formation changed from 4-3-3 to 4-4-1.
, leaving Nie Jiang alone in front.
After the newcomers came on, Uzbekistan's momentum became obvious. Taking advantage of one more player on the field, they rarely gained possession of the ball.
In the previous 80-minute game, the Chinese team's possession of the ball has been maintained at more than 60% and nearly 70%. It can be said that it has completely grasped the initiative on the court. Now it has given up the initiative to control the ball.
To Uzbekistan.
With the increase in possession of the ball, Uzbekistan's offense, especially shots, increased.
In the previous game, Uzbekistan only had four shots in total, and very few of them hit the goal frame. However, within just a few minutes of taking possession of the ball, they shot three times in a row.
At this time, a strange thing was discovered by everyone, that is, Uzbekistan, which had one more player, actually played more impatiently than the Chinese team, which had one less player.
For the first 70 minutes or so, the Chinese team was well organized. Even though Zhang Linpeng was injured and went off the field, the whole team was playing against the Uzbekistan team. As a result, there were a lot of shots and none of them were scored. On the other hand, the Uzbekistan team had a well-organized defense.
, full of flexibility, and the defense line is methodical under the command of Ahmedov.
Now the Uzbekistan team had one more player, and as a result, they got the ball. After reaching the frontcourt, they shot several shots in a row that were far and wide.
In fact, this is also an old problem of the Uzbekistan team.
In Babayan's tactics, in order to ensure the suddenness and concealment of the team's attack, he specially formulated a set of offensive tactics of attacking in the east and attacking in the west.
Their attacks and counterattacks are concentrated on the left, but most of their shots are concentrated outside the penalty area and on the right side of the offensive third, and the average shooting range is about 25 meters.
In other words, their regular offensive method is to use the left attack to attract the opponent's defensive attention, then transfer the ball to the center or the right, and finally launch a shot from the center or the right.
If they really have an extremely luxurious frontcourt trident or a top-notch midfielder, such an offensive method will certainly be unfavorable, but the actual situation is that the ability of their frontcourt players is really average. In the future, in the Asian competition
After all, the all-powerful Shomurodov is still young and his potential has not been fully explored.
In the end, such smart offensive tactics resulted in an average of 0.5 goals per game, a shot-on-target rate of only 28%, and a mediocre threat level.
Especially when the players on the sidelines of the Uzbekistan team reported that the match between South Korea and Iran was still 0:0, they played even more impatiently.
In the 81st minute of the second half, the Uzbekistan team distributed the football coming from the left to the middle. Deparov worked hard and moved it to the right. After Shukurov received the ball, under the pressure of Qin Minghao,
, directly lobbed the ball into the center of the Chinese team's penalty area. As a result, Heydarov was only 1.83 meters tall and could not stand up to Li Ming, not to mention Li Ming's terrifying jumping ability.
Liming made a powerful header in the air and pushed the ball out of the penalty area. When it was in the air, he also took aim at the unmarked midfielder Hao Junmin. He had already prepared the header and hit the latter accurately.
The latter also played very smartly, not entangled too much in the crowded backcourt, and gave the ball to Wu Lei.
Encountering this kind of opportunity to start the counterattack with one touch of the ball, how could Wu Lei let go of his advantage? When he took advantage of the situation and passed the ball, he was 1.90 meters tall and pressed forward to defend his central defender Ismay.
Love didn't even complete the turning movement, and there was no chance to pull someone back.
Another central defender, Klimets, is responsible for holding back. He is 1.93 meters tall and is not as flexible as Ismailov. Apart from coming up and committing a physical foul, it is impossible to compete with Wu Lei for speed.
When Klimets stepped forward to grab the ball, Wu Lei's teammate Akhmedov was very smart. He started to chase back to prevent Wu Lei from passing the ball.
Just as Akhmedov expected, Wu Lei passed the ball decisively after carrying it for ten meters. His speed of passing the ball was much faster than Klimets' speed to grab and stretch his feet. Although Klimets was beaten by Klimets,
Ci overturned with his body, but the ball accurately found Ding Huaiyi who rushed up from the left.
Based on the principle of advantageous offense, the referee did not care about Wu Lei, but ran forward directly.
In the middle of the Chinese team, Nie Jiang is rushing forward quickly, and Xiang Tiange on the right is also pushing his speed to the extreme.
Whether this attack can be completed depends on whether Ding Huaiyi can pass the ball after receiving it.
Akhmedov was very clear-headed at this time. He immediately committed a foul the moment Ding Huaiyi got the ball, and did not give Ding Huaiyi a chance to play the ball at all.
"Beep!" the referee's whistle sounded, and he rushed over and gave Akhmedov a yellow card.
Fortunately, the foul was committed just after midfield, close to the sideline. Otherwise, this tactical foul would have given him a red card.
The fans in the stands were unwilling to do so. They booed, called "black whistle" and cursed "the referee is stupid".
Huang Jianxiang also expressed his opinion: "Although the foul in this position is biased, Akhmedov can be regarded as the last line of defense. According to the previous red card sent off to Du Zhenyu, giving him a red card is not excessive.
"
Li Yun was also negotiating with the referee at this time, but the referee was unmoved. The only thing that was beneficial to the Chinese team was that he made up for the yellow card that Klimets had fouled Wu Lei before, which was regarded as two people with two players.
The yellow card changed the Chinese team's counterattack.
For the Uzbekistan team, the game was going to end in less than ten minutes, so this was not a loss at all.
Sure enough, after the two tall central defenders returned to the penalty area, the Chinese team's frontcourt free kick was in vain.
With this counterattack, the Uzbek team became more honest. When attacking, one of the two full-backs would always be placed in the backcourt to ensure the safety of the wing and prevent the midfielder from taking the blame.
But the score of the other game was the excitement point of the Uzbek team. It climaxed as soon as it was poked. Just a few minutes later, when it was learned that South Korea and Iran were still 0:0, the Uzbek team pressed forward again, this time even Ai
Khamedov was also eager to try. After staying in the backcourt for nearly 80 minutes, he couldn't help it anymore.
In the 86th minute of the second half, the Chinese team's Hao Junmin had some physical problems. He was crushed by Shomurodov with his body. The latter's shot from outside the penalty area caused Zengcheng to miss. The Uzbekistan team including Ahmedo
Fudu pressed forward and prepared to grab the second point.
As a result, Li Yun sensitively got the second point in the penalty area, turned around and kicked the ball out of the penalty area.
"The Chinese team's counterattack!" Su Dong raised his voice.
On the field, Qin Minghao and Deparov were competing for the top position in the midfield. They were both attacking midfielders. Their age and physical fitness were very different. Qin Minghao easily crushed his opponent who had reached his physical limit and took the ball.
It was assigned to Xiang Tiange on the right.
Xiang Tiange was finally able to atone for his previous defensive disadvantages, and he increased his speed to the extreme.
Xiang Tiange, who was running at high speed, became reckless when faced with Denisov, who was staying in the backcourt to defend. The latter repeated his old trick, trying to influence Xiang Tiange by squeezing his body. Xiang Tiange gritted his teeth.
With a fierce rush, he pushed Denisov away.
After all, Xiang Tiange came on in the second half, and Denisov had already played the entire game.
After passing Denisov, the road to Tiange is smooth.
"This is a key pass." Huang Jianxiang roared, "Nie Jiang in the middle, and Ding Huaiyi in the back. The Chinese team's opportunity came. Ismailov came over and did not give him a chance to foul. He passed the ball
, Nie Jiang!!! Pushed, the ball went in! The ball went in! The ball went in!!!”
"Nie Jiang's shot...!! The ball went in!!! Beautiful!!! Nie Jiang broke the deadlock, eighty-six and a half, eighty-six and a half, the Chinese team was one person behind.
Instead, he scored a goal, which was almost a goal that killed the game." Su Dong's iconic drawl when scoring the goal had a chance to be used.
The fans in the stands were already going crazy. Countless fans rushed towards the railings of the stands like crazy. The armed police who had been waiting for the scene had to "persuade" these fans back to their seats.
Chen Jiangfeng was hugged tightly by his girlfriend at this time. He didn't know where a thin girl could get such strength. He was hugged so hard that he almost couldn't breathe.
Mr. Tan's face was full of tears at this time, and his voice had already become hoarse: "Goal, goal."
I don't know who it was, but at this time, I shouted: "Long live Chinese football, long live China." Immediately, the entire audience echoed this slogan.
Then the national anthem of the People's Republic of China was sung: "Rise up, people who don't want to be slaves..."
Countless fans had tears in their eyes, and the loud national anthem resounded throughout the Jiangcheng Sports Center.
Huang Jianxiang, who was commentating, was choked up. He wiped away the tears that he couldn't stop with his hands. He secretly took a breath, suppressed his emotions and said: "It's not easy. Two 19-year-old players,
They came out of nowhere when the Chinese team needed them most. They are the future of Chinese football. I love Chinese football and I love this future."
No matter how much criticism and blame there is for Huang Jianxiang from the outside world, no one can deny his sincerity towards Chinese football.
Su Dong was relatively calm. He was still thinking about the game: "The game is not over yet. Counting stoppage time, there should be about five minutes left. We must hold on. By holding on to these five minutes, we will hold on to our World Cup tickets."
Nie Jiang, the hero of the goal, has now gotten rid of the crazy celebrations of his teammates and climbed up from the ground.
He first grabbed the national emblem on the chest of his jersey and kissed it passionately. Then he jumped over the billboard, rushed to the fans' stands, took off his jersey, made a fitness posture, and finally put on his jersey again.
He bowed to the stands and returned to the field with a smile.
Xiang Tiange came over and hugged Nie Jiang's neck affectionately: "How is it? How does it feel to be a hero? Brother, is my passing okay?"
Nie Jiang didn't care at all about the yellow card shown by the referee. He smiled and cursed at Xiang Tiange: "Get out of here, I'm bigger than a goose like you."
There is a reason why Xiang Tiange calls Nie Jiang the hero, because the Longteng team has an exclusive song for Nie Jiang. The song was changed to Nezha's song, and the lyrics are "our hero Nie Jiang."
Because of his name, Xiang Tiange was given the nickname "Big Goose" by his teammates in the Longteng team. However, Nie Jiang was not wrong. Nie Jiang was born on February 11, 1998, and Xiang Tiange was born in 1998.
On February 27, 2011, Nie Jiang was older than Xiang Tiange, so Xiang Tiange should have called Nie Jiang his brother.
This goal of the Chinese team ignited the atmosphere of the stadium. The 0:0 score between the South Korean team and the Iranian team has become an excellent assist for the Chinese team now, because with this score, the Chinese team can directly qualify for second place in the group.
After Nie Jiang returned to the field and accepted everyone's head-touching, the game continued.
Babayan played the last hand of cards without hesitation. The old captain Deparov played and Heinrich played. This was considered to be the strongest attack point left.
Not long after kickoff, the game time due to celebrations had reached the 89th minute of the second half, and the assistant referee put up a five-minute stoppage time sign on the sidelines.
The Chinese team started to defend resolutely from the midfield, preventing the opponent from advancing the attack into the offensive third zone. The Uzbekistan team players, who were already a little impatient, were obviously confused and began to fight alone, blindly rushing to deceive the frontcourt.
The intention of the free kick was too obvious.
Considering that the Chinese team was given a red card, the referee Pereira was obviously looking for a balance and did not give Uzbekistan a chance. Instead, the Chinese team won the ball twice in a row.
Before, there were "black whistles" and "referees are stupid" fans who did not hesitate to applaud and cheer. It is estimated that if they are asked to vote for the best referee in the world at this time, everyone will not hesitate to vote.
Vote for him.
As the game progressed, the game time disappeared second by second.
With two minutes left in the game, Lippi made his last substitution. Hao Junmin was replaced by Qi Ming. The purpose of the midfielder substitution was to strengthen defense.
Hao Junmin is also a man who has become a man. He looked like "Oh, I'm not strong enough, my legs are going to be broken, I can't run." He slowly walked to the sidelines. The referee was unselfish and ran over to urge him to get off the field.
Players from the Uzbekistan team also came over to push Hao Junmin, but now everyone stopped. Fortunately, the referee was strong enough and quickly stopped everyone from gathering, just like the uncle in the rural area of Henan.
After Hao Junmin received a yellow card, he finally completed his mission and ended the game. Qi Ming came on and stood firmly in the middle, and Ding Huaiyi protected the ball.
When Ding Huaiyi used his fancy skills at his feet to stick the ball to his body for a long time, he fell to the ground under the push of the Uzbekistan team players and got a free kick in the frontcourt.
The fans in the stands were impatient. They faced the big screen in the stadium and started shouting the countdown in unison: "Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one."
The referee didn't blow the whistle, and all the spectators started shouting from ten to one again. The referee still didn't blow the whistle, and the spectators continued...
Just when the audience became impatient, an extra minute was added to the five-minute stoppage time, and the referee blew the whistle that ended the game.
