Chapter 329: Eliminate one team first(2/2)

During this trip to Bangkok, Zeng Zheng made a major change to the team.

Even Ou Chuliang was left in the country.

The Thai team was weak and had only one draw in 4 games.

With such a weak team, Zeng Zheng would certainly not use all his main players.

As for bringing a substitute, will it be a mistake?

At present, there is no such news in China.

In the eyes of the public, even if it is the second national team, it will not be a problem to defeat the Thai team.

On September 22, at the Rajamangala National Stadium in Bangkok, the Chinese team played against the Thai team in the fifth match of Group A of the top ten in the second stage of the World Cup qualifying round.

In this game, Zeng Zheng gave substitute goalkeeper Fu Bin a chance.

In addition, the lineup is almost entirely made up of substitutes.

Xu Yunlong, Yang Pu, Du Wei, and Wu Chengying partnered as defenders; midfielders Zhao Junzhe, Zheng Zhi, Shen Si, and Ma Mingyu; forwards Su Maozhen and Zhang Yuheng.

After the start, this "Chinese second team" played very steadily.

Although the three players on the back line were all "newcomers", they successfully used offside tactics twice in the first two minutes to defuse the home team's attack.

Facing the weakest team in the group, Thailand, the Chinese team not only stabilized its defense, but also played not conservatively at all.

With Zheng Zhi's tyranny and Zhao Junzhe's delicacy, the team quickly turned away from home.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to counterattack on the spot in the midfield and frontcourt, he launched multiple offensives in succession.

The right wing, led by veteran Ma Mingyu, has become the source of the Chinese team's offense.

In the 8th minute, Zhang Yuheng received Ma Mingyu's through ball and used his personal skills to get out of the bottom and reciprocated the favor in time.

In front of the penalty area, Ma Mingyu met the ball and shot furiously, but unfortunately the ball was heroically blocked by the opponent's defender with his body.

Subsequently, Ma Mingyu's corner kick landed right on the head of the unguarded Su Maozhen.

It's a pity that the latter's header was in an improper position and the ball unfortunately went over the crossbar!

In the 17th minute, Yang Pu once again made a breakthrough on the right, winning another free kick opportunity for the team.

It's a pity that the free kick taken by Zhao Junzhe was not of high quality and was pushed out of the baseline by the opponent's central defender.

After playing for 20 minutes, although the team has not yet scored a goal, the advantage on the field has become increasingly obvious.

Even though Du Wei is a national youth player.

But under Zeng Zheng's advice, I gained nearly 10 kilograms.

When he stood in the restricted area, he saw a towering moving castle.

Before the little guys from the Thai team could remember to move left and right, they bumped into the wall and were knocked unconscious for a long time.

In the first 30 minutes, Fu Bin, who finally got a chance to play, was not tested at all.

In the 31st minute, the Thai team made a long pass from the backcourt. Xu Yunlong was careless and the opponent's forward snatched the ball from behind.

Fortunately, Du Wei arrived in time and blocked the ball out of the post with her feet.

Five minutes later, facing a powerful long-range shot from the Thai team, Fu Bin hugged it tightly and then lay down on the ground, demonstrating his strong professionalism.

In the 29th minute, during a frontcourt steal, Zhao Junzhe received the first yellow card of the game.

"Xiao Zhao is cheating again?"

"Tsk tsk tsk..."

"This guy actively doesn't want to participate in the next game!"

In 4 minutes, veteran Ma Mingyu was suspected of diving on the edge of the opponent's penalty area and was also shown a yellow card.

It is different from Zhao Junzhe's frustration.

Ma Mingyu seemed very open-minded after taking the card.

With his current situation, he won't get many cards for the national team.

At the end of the first half, the second national football team still took the initiative on the field.

It's a pity that the players' ability to dig out opportunities is insufficient, and they often end up with long shots or long passes.

The Thai goalkeeper blocked the ball and became the best and most outstanding player in the first half.

In the 40th minute, the Thai team's winger succeeded in breaking through from the right for the first time. After passing Yang Pu, he shot hard.

Thanks to Du Wei's sliding tackle and using his body to remove most of the ball's power, Fu Bin was able to hold the ball under him!

Seeing the opponent kick such a threatening shot, Jin and Chi were also a little dissatisfied.

We haven't scored yet, so why are we going to be scored by our opponent?

This can't happen!

Under the urging of Jin and Chi, the team soon made gains.

In the 42nd minute, Ma Mingyu rubbed his right foot while being marked by two defenders of the opponent and sent an overhead ball with a perfect placement.

In the penalty area, Su Mao really understood the situation and made a wonderful diving header to score, scoring his second goal in the top ten games.

Thanks to Jin Tou Lao Mao's header, the Chinese team entered the halftime break with a 1-0 lead in the away game.

In the second half, the Thai team replaced forward Kass, while Zeng Zheng remained unchanged in response to the changes.

After the game started, the team still took the initiative.

In the 47th minute, after Zhao Junzhe's free kick was blocked by the opponent, Ma Mingyu promptly dropped the ball into the opponent's penalty area, breaking the opponent's offside trap.

Su Mao's header was really accurate, and Zhang Yuheng calmly took off the ball and volleyed ten meters in front of the goal.

At such a close distance, the Thai goalkeeper was beyond reach and could only stand there and watch the ball go into the net.

2 to 0!

Since then, some players' physical fitness has declined slightly due to the weather.

There were also several undue passing errors in the midfield of Chao Junzhe, and the Thai team began to gradually balance the situation.

In the 64th minute, the Thai winger once again broke through Yang Pu's defense on the right and made a pass.

The ball passed in front of the Chinese team's goal and was saved in time by Wu Chengying who rushed back from the other side.

A minute later, Zeng Zheng chose to make a substitution and replaced Zhao Junzhe, who was in poor condition, with Li Xiaopeng.

Four minutes later, veteran Ma Mingyu also retired from the front line and entered the battle for the first time since the top ten games.

Zeng Zheng's change immediately achieved the desired effect.

With the addition of new forces, the defense on the left and right sides of the midfield has been greatly enhanced.

Coupled with the fact that Zhang Yuheng retreated, it was difficult for the Thai team to break through the Chinese team's first interception.

In the 72nd minute, Du Wei, who performed extremely well in defense, once again saved the team.

Faced with a sudden shot from outside the opponent's penalty area, Du Wei once again stepped forward and blocked the ball out of the post with her hip bones.

The Thai team's attacking midfielder, who was shooting from a long distance, saw this and slapped his thigh repeatedly.

Why do my own shots always hit this person?

After that, Zeng Zheng used the starting point to replace the goal scorer Su Maozhen.

Rather than strengthening the offense, it is better to let more substitute players "walk around" in the top ten games.

In the 81st minute, Shen Si's free kick flew directly into the Thai team's penalty area. The Thai team's goalkeeper jumped up in front of Zhang Yuheng with all his strength and hit the ball out of the baseline with his fist.

In the next 3 minutes, the Chinese team took four consecutive corner kicks.

Every corner kick is extremely dangerous, with a posture of hanging directly into the goal.

Finally in the 84th minute, the Thai team's defense collapsed.

Zhang Yuhuang jumped forward and pushed the ball from the front point to the back point with the back of his head.

Wu Chengying at the back post kicked the ball into the Thai team's goal without anyone defending.

3 to 0!

The Chinese team completely sealed the victory.

In the last minute of injury time, a Thai player took a free kick from 35 meters away and directly hit the goal.

Fu Bin jumped up and blocked the ball out of the post with his fingertips.

However, because the fluctuation of the ball was not obvious, the referee did not award the Thai team a corner kick, but directly blew the whistle to end the game.

At the final whistle, the entire coaching staff high-fived and cheered for this victory together with the Chinese fans who performed equally well in the stands.

On the contrary, the Thai team fans looked disappointed.

As early as when the Chinese team scored the second goal, many fans sighed and left the stadium early.

This home defeat means that the Thai team has completely lost its bid for next year's World Cup finals.
