Chapter 1159 I actually won
"The referee's penalty this time is quite fair."
"This is a very favorable position, and the three best free kick masters in China are on the court at present."
"This is definitely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I wonder if the Chinese team can calmly grasp it."
"Gao Han looked a little excited on the sidelines, and kept shouting at the players, as if asking the international players to pay attention to the human wall and pick up bargains."
"As we said before, after Gao Han coached the national team, he also attached great importance to set pieces. He practiced repeatedly during training. I don't know if this time can play a role, and I don't know who will take the penalty?"
…………
…………
On the court, Zheng Zhi and Feng Xiaoting both called out their teammates.
Ten players gathered together and studied how to take the free kick.
This is likely to be the last good opportunity for the Chinese team to score in this game.
Judging from the situation of this free kick, it should be a direct shot rather than a cooperation, so there is no need to say who is defending the periphery. It is natural that Wu Lei and Zhang Yuning are responsible for picking up the bargain, but who will take the penalty?
Zhang Xi, Hao Junmin and Huang Baiwen are both free kick masters, and everyone's eyes were on these three people.
"This position... I am most sure." Hao Junmin took the initiative to raise it without hesitation.
Huang Baiwen and Zhang Xi are also good at free kicks, but each person has the most certain position and angle. The area where the foul Wu Lei just created just happened to be the area where Hao Junmin is most confident.
In the domestic league, he has scored free kicks from this area a lot.
"This should be the last threatening offensive in this game, you..." Zheng Zhi looked at Hao Junmin with concern, "Can you still hold on to your physical fitness?"
Hao Junmin knew what the captain meant. If his body could not withstand the technical movements, even if the free kick skills were high and the grasp was great, it would be useless at this time, and it would be difficult to get a high-quality free kick.
"Don't worry, I know, there's no problem."
Seeing Hao Junmin say this, Zheng Zhi had nothing to worry about.
"Do I want you to cover up?" Zhang Xi asked with concern.
Hao Junmin shook his head, "No, there is nothing to cover in this position."
"By the way, the boss said just now that Pedro observed the whole game and found that Iranian goalkeeper Belanwande was very good at handling high balls, with a height of 1.95 meters and a large coverage area, but there is an obvious weakness, which is that the frequency of movement is relatively slow and the reaction is not fast enough." Zheng Zhi once again conveyed Gao Han's meaning.
Belanwande is not very old and is only twenty-four years old, but he is a well-known goalkeeper in Asia. Because he has the skill of throwing balls with force, he can throw the ball with his right hand directly for sixty meters to find the striker, which is very legendary.
In this game, Belanwande also staged such a good show, but because the Chinese team was prepared for a long time, they were not caught off guard and failed to achieve results.
But his reaction speed and slow movements were exposed.
Of course, the main responsibility for Wu Lei's goal just now was not the goalkeeper, but Wu Lei directly hit him, which was to bully the tall Belanwande's old habit of slow reaction and movements. In fact, Belanwande was indeed unable to defend himself.
Right hand and right foot, slow movements, slow reactions...
All the information conveyed by Gao Han was telling Hao Junmin and the players one thing, and his left side was a weakness.
Every goalkeeper will inevitably have a blind spot for saving. Even those who are as strong as Kahn and Van der Sar have weaknesses. It is difficult for goalkeepers with right hands and right feet to save to the left, especially the high ball on the left. This is common sense.
The top goalkeeper can block his weaknesses as much as possible through various goal line techniques and save skills, or physical reactions and predictions, but Belanwande is obviously not at that level.
"I understand." Hao Junmin nodded heavily.
He was very clear about Gao Han and the coaching staff's meticulous preparations.
Goalkeeper Pedro Harro has always been sitting behind the goal, looking at his team in the half and his opponents in the half, and paying close attention to the performance and performance of each other's goalkeepers. The information provided by him is definitely correct.
Thinking of this, Hao Junmin already knew how to punish this ball.
All that remains is how to accurately send the ball in.
…………
…………
When Hao Junmin breathed deeply, he walked to the free throw point, stepped on the turf with his right foot, gently placed the ball on, looked straight at the goal, and slowly retreated.
In front of him, the Iranian team had already set up a six-man wall in the penalty area, with two Chinese players mixed in the middle, and three players defending the Chinese team's three offensive players behind him, while Huang Baiwen and others were ambushing the outside of the penalty area, waiting for an opportunity to move.
On the court, both teams were as if they were facing a big enemy and did not dare to be careless at all.
Since the free throw point this time is on the left side of the arc top area, Iranian goalkeeper Belanwande stands on the left and stares at Hao Junmin. He also learned from the team's pre-match preparation that this Chinese international is a free kick expert, but he can't guess how Hao Junmin will play and where he will play.
Iran obviously knew the threat of this offense, so he attached great importance to it. Head coach Queros also walked to the sidelines and rubbed his hands nervously. This was related to the difference between one point and zero point.
Gao Han also stood on the sidelines, and his mind moved the effect of the offensive card to Hao Junmin's head, further strengthening the offensive strength of this free kick master, hoping to help him score this goal.
Hao Junmin closed his eyes and took a deep breath, feeling the clearness in his mind. He could clearly outline everything on the court, and even wait for the reactions of all parties to the preview.
The human wall will jump up, how high will the jump, how will the door react, how long will it take, and whether it can be timely...
Everything surged into his mind in an instant and became extremely clear.
All the fans of the audience realized the importance of this free throw and almost held their breath.
The referee quickly blew the whistle of the free throw, and everyone began to prepare. Wu Lei and Zhang Yuning in the penalty area were like leopards ready to rush toward their prey at any time.
Hao Junmin opened his eyes, took a deep breath, looked straight ahead, and rushed out quickly.
I saw that he stepped very hard on every step, and stepped on the original plan. When he reached the ball, he would step on his left foot and swung his right foot, so he could directly hit the ball.
Only a muffled bang was heard at the scene, and the ball quickly flew out of the ground like a cannonball, drew an arc, barely crossed the head of the jumping wall, and then quickly slid down.
The rotation of this shot was not strong, and the arc was relatively low, and the speed was very fast. By the time everyone realized it, the ball had already crossed the wall with lightning speed and fell straight to the right side of the goal.
Iranian goalkeeper Belan Wande quickly flew to make a save as soon as he reacted, but just now he stood slightly to the left to prevent Hao Junmin from hitting the closest end. As a result, the weakness of the far end was exposed. In addition, Hao Junmin's shot was of very high quality, almost hitting the right post and hitting into the side net. Belan Wande was simply out of reach.
Wu Lei and Zhang Yuning both came over to find the bargain, but they rushed for nothing.
"The ball is in!"
"Wow, I really scored a goal!"
"The Chinese team scored a goal!!!"
"Two to one! Two to one! Two to one!"
"The great Chinese team, the great Gao Han, and the great international players, you have created a great victory!"
"Two to one, the Chinese team once again surpassed the score."
"In the 89th minute, the Chinese team took advantage of a free kick opportunity in the frontcourt to surpass the score again."
"Hao Junmin calmly seized the opportunity at a critical moment and scored the winning goal."
"This is definitely a goal worth a thousand gold. Hao Junmin did not disappoint at the critical moment. He directly broke through the Iranian goal with a wonderful free kick."
“So beautiful, so wonderful!”
"The Iranian team would never have thought that the Chinese team would launch a crazily attack in the last ten or twenty minutes, completely suppressing them, and creating many good scoring opportunities. Unfortunately, due to the lack of physical fitness and strength of the players, they were unable to seize the opportunity."
"But at the critical moment, Hao Junmin scored a key goal, and he did not disappoint Gao Han's high expectations for him."
"After Gao Han coached the Chinese team, Hao Junmin has always been a favorite player under Gao Han. He has played the main role in several important games. Even when he played against South Korea away, Hao Junmin came on as a substitute and planned two goals opportunities. He made great contributions. In this game, he scored the winning goal himself."
On the court, the Chinese team's international players rushed up quickly and surrounded Hao Junmin.
The fans in the stands were cheering wildly.
They would never have thought that the Chinese team could defeat Iran 2-1 at home.
That is the powerful Iran, with FIFA rankings in more than 30, which is higher than South Korea.
But everything happened so realistically under their noses, especially in the last ten minutes, the Chinese team controlled the ball on the court and planned out repeated attacks, even Iran defended in a very embarrassing manner.
No one would have thought that the Chinese team would win!
Since the draw and schedule of the top 12 knockout matches were released, everyone is worried about whether the Chinese team still has hope. After all, they will face South Korea and Iran in the first two games. The pressure is too great. If they lose two consecutive games, how can the team play in the next few games?
At that time, everyone, including many well-known football people in China, had a view that they had to keep a tie. Even if they were able to win two draws, they even believed that getting one point was a normal performance.
But unexpectedly, the Chinese national football team first reversed South Korea 3-1 away, breaking the Korean fear that has plagued Chinese football for decades, and then returned to Chenyang at home, defeating Iran 2-1 again.
This is simply incredible.
The group won two consecutive victories in the top 12 games, and this happiness came too quickly and it was hard for people to believe it.
Even though Iran is a long-distance expedition, even if many Iranian internationals are in poor form, even if Iran's main midfielder Dejaga is absent due to injury... But Iran's overall strength is still above the Chinese team. It would be much more difficult to win two-to-one at home?
Especially after being equalized, Gao Han and the team showed their determination and courage to fight to the end, and even made many fans feel unfamiliar.
Is this the national team they remember?
How come such earth-shaking and reborn changes have occurred in just half a year?
