Chapter 328 Tragic Victory(1/3)
"Dear viewers in front of the TV, this is Shenyang Wulihe Stadium."
"The live broadcast for you now is the second half of the fourth round of Group A of the second phase of the 27th World Cup Asian Qualifiers."
"In the first half that just ended, the Chinese team relied on Yang Chen's two goals to temporarily lead the Iranian team with a score of 2-0."
"Now the second half will start soon."
"Everyone knows that after the rain stops, the Iranian team will definitely launch a more violent counterattack in the second half."
"Whether Coach Zeng has a clever trick to withstand the Iranian team's fierce attack at a low level, I believe this is the most discussed question among fans during the halftime period."
"Okay, we can see that the players from both sides have entered the stadium."
"Looking at the lineup, neither coach has made any substitutions."
"It seems that the rainy weather in the first half was indeed a special situation. Both head coaches believe that their lineups can perform better after the rain stops in the second half."
"So how will the Chinese team perform in the second half?"
"let us wait and see!"
...
With the referee's whistle, the second half of the game officially began.
The two sides changed sides and fought again.
The Iranian players, who were two goals behind, couldn't bear it anymore, sharpened their swords, and looked towards the Chinese team's half.
“The Chinese team’s turf is really good!”
"Yes, we have picked up such a good drainage system today!"
The Iranian players happily stepped on the comfortable turf under their feet.
The high-end semi-artificial grass not only brings great enjoyment to the home team, but also gives the visiting team room to display their best abilities.
Trailing by two goals, the Iranian team took the lead and immediately launched a fierce attack on the Chinese team's half after stealing the ball in the backcourt.
Facing the opponent's high pressure, the Chinese team members retreated to the thirty-meter area and used a 442 formation to form three iron chains to firmly block the opponent from the threat range.
Especially the middle lane.
Zhang Xiaorui and Li Jinyu both stood ready and participated in the defense.
This forced Bagheri and other central players to pin their hopes on the wing.
"Eh?"
"Has Sun Jihai changed positions?"
As soon as the game started, Huang Jianxiang could see the difference between the team and the first half.
Although there was no substitution, the difference in Sun Jihai switching from the right to the left was still obvious.
Iran obviously did not expect that Zeng Zheng would play this trick.
Sun Jihai has always been the core figure in Zeng Zheng's lineup.
Is it possible that he was moved to the left this time to strengthen the attack on the left?
"Bang!"
With a muffled sound.
The ball shot into the sky.
Flying over the plastic runway and heading straight to the fans' stands.
Madavecchia jumps to the ground.
Looking back at the ball flying away behind him, he couldn't help but shake his head.
If he had been just one second later, his ankle might have flown away with the ball.
Look behind you at Sun Jihai who is getting up like nothing happened.
Madavikiya felt suddenly wary.
"Could it be that Zeng sent that No. 4 to defend the motor on purpose?" Blazevic frowned.
Four years ago in Golden State, the Iranian team relied on Motor's extraordinary kick on the wing to open up the game for the team.
In today's Shenyang, Zeng Zheng's approach is like "carving a boat to seek a sword" in the idiom storybook, and he seems to be still making amends for what happened in the past.
But, what happened before, can’t it happen now?
The story of carving a boat in search of a sword is certainly ridiculous.
But who knows the wisdom of remedying the situation before it is too late?
Seeing Madavecchia being locked up by Sun Jihai, the fans' first reaction was neither excitement nor relief.
Instead, he patted his chest and kept saying "good thing".
It’s not about recruiting something new, it just works.
This is a saying that Zeng Zheng often talks about.
Who can guarantee that today’s Iranian team will not break the situation with the same tactics as four years ago?
"Fortunately, Coach Zeng noticed this about the motor."
"Lock him up in advance."
"Otherwise the point is started by the motor."
"This wing can easily become a breakthrough for the Iranian team..."
Madavikiya's attack and organizational skills are among the best in the Iranian team, not to mention his long-range shot.
Sun Jihai was like a candy, always sticking to his side.
As a result, no one from the Iranian team made a pass, and Alidai and Aziz instantly became isolated and helpless in the penalty area.
Even if other players forced their kicks, the headers of General Fan and Li Weifeng were not for show.
In the first few minutes of the second half, the Iranian team looked like they were attacking vigorously, but in fact they were gaining momentum and could not score.
Alidai and Aziz often ran around in the penalty area like headless flies. In the end, Alidai couldn't stand it anymore and took the initiative to run out of the penalty area and turn around to meet his teammates.
Both sides attacked and defended, and the situation temporarily entered a stalemate.
"The Iranian team can't attack."
"For the Chinese team, which has a two-goal lead, this is undoubtedly the best result."
...
"As expected of Coach Zeng!"
"I thought of using Sun Jihai to target the motor in advance."
"If it's like four years ago, our situation will be really bad."
"Sun Jihai can play as the main force in the Premier League. Defending a small motor will definitely not be a problem!"
Hearing colleagues around him say how good Zeng Zheng was, Wang Junsheng grinned from ear to ear.
"What else did our Xiao Zeng say?!"
"How could he make the same mistake a second time?"
"Don't forget, we haven't changed people yet!"
"Just watch, he can definitely defend these two goals!"
Just when these bamboo-shoe officials were discussing how Zeng Zheng had made the defense line impregnable, there was a "bang" and the ball flew into the sky.
"The Chinese team's counterattack!" Huang Jianxiang exclaimed.
Ma Da, who was almost tackled again just now, stopped and looked at the ball in the air that was kicked away by Li Tie.
Before he could take a deep breath, his pupils suddenly froze.
Sun Jihai, who had just shoveled him behind him, was gone!
Where has he gone?!
Under Madavecchia's surprised gaze, Sun Jihai ran forward along the left path.
Due to the over-plugging of the motor, a large vacuum appeared on the side of the Iranian team.
Sun Jihai ran wildly.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! He stretched out his left foot and caught the long pass from behind Li Tie.
Facing the opponent's right back who came to cover but did not dare to stretch his feet, Sun Jihai made a fake move and then accelerated suddenly and made a pass.
The ball rose into the air and flew towards the center of the Iranian team's penalty area.
Faced with the incoming ball, Fanae abandoned the goal, picked the ball off Yang Chen's head, and then fell to the ground, tightly protecting the ball.
If he hadn't taken the risk just now, Yang Chen would have hit the ball.
