There is a belief called football

Chapter 182

Chapter 182

Qi rate tried his best to chase back, but seeing that he could not catch up, Qi rate kicked hard, and the whole person flew out. At the same time, he stretched his hand to the limit, and finally touched the ball, but he still couldn't change the direction of the football, and the ball scored.

With the sound of "duang", many fans at the scene seemed to have returned to the Camacho era, back to Doha, and it was Younis's goal again! ! !

At the same time as Iraq scored a goal, the latest news came from another game - Singapore played Jordan at home. Jordan led Singapore 2-0.

Two things that were not conducive to the Chinese team happened at the same time, and the fans at the scene were suddenly silent, only the Iraqi players and coaching staff cheered heartily, and the feeling of playing the game seemed to return.

At this time, captain Li Weifeng applauded and encouraged everyone, and asked everyone to raise their heads, "There is still a long time before the end of the game, and everyone does not need to care about a conceded goal."

Zheng Zhi was the first to recover. He patted Yu Dabao on the head, hoping he would not care. At this time, the whole team ran to the goalkeeper Qi Qi to encourage him, and Qi Qi, who was naturally optimistic, made everyone laugh.

After losing the ball, Stan finally woke up. He realized how ridiculous it was that he didn’t listen to Pekovic’s words. If he had listened to Pekovic earlier instead of blindly pressing on, then the opponent would be the one who felt uncomfortable. If the opponent attacked, our team would have Yu Dabao and Li Qiao.

My own arrogance - to win is even more beautiful, and even an overwhelming victory led to this conceded goal, that is, the responsibility for this conceded goal is [-]% due to my improper command.

Stan was ready to correct his mistake immediately. He readjusted his play and returned to the unhurried play he had started in the opening game.

The big screen at the scene will display another game related to the qualifying situation of the Chinese team at any time - Singapore vs. Jordan. As long as a goal is scored in that game, the big screen will make a "ding" sound.

As the game progressed, the big screen made two more "dings". Stan squinted and saw that it was already 4-0 over there.

The football style of Iraq is very similar to that of Iran. They are very tough teams, which is rare in the Middle East. The football styles of Middle Eastern teams, such as Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates, are all technical, and "Iran-Iraq" is a special case.

Therefore, as the time of the game was consumed, Iraqi physical strengths were gradually revealed. Football is like playing chess. One wrong move, one wrong step. Stan’s carelessness caused a lot of passiveness for the Chinese team. The 1-1 score is unacceptable to the Chinese, but completely acceptable to the Iraqis.

Now Iraq’s three lines are like three walls, each line is very neatly arranged, you break through one and then the second, for the Chinese team, which is not very good at positional warfare, but relatively fast team, Iraq’s formation is very effective, and they did this after they took the lead in the last game.

"Damn, the Iraqis are using ancient Chinese methods to deal with us," Stan thought.

Stein felt that the Iraqis had three moving walls on the field to block the Chinese team's rapid attack.

*****

At the end of the first half, Stan looked at the big screen, the score was still 4-0 in another game, thank God, the Singaporean did not concede another goal.

Stan hurriedly buried his head and walked into the player tunnel, but was stopped by someone. Looking up, it was the Iraqi coach "Zico". At this time, Zico was completely different from the opening scene. He was smiling and stretched out his hand to shake Stan's hand.

"You haven't won yet, shake my hand? Let's talk when you win," Stan thought.

Stan didn't reach out his hand, although it seemed ungentlemanlike to do so, but Stan couldn't control that much, he continued to go his own way.

Xiaobu quickly ran back to the locker room, Stan put his hands behind his back, expressionless, waiting for his players to return to the locker room,

Finally, the players of the Chinese team returned to the locker room one by one, and the team's assistant coach, Pekovic, was at the end.

After exchanging glances, Pekovic said nothing, and was about to sit down.

"Pekovich," Stan calls out.

Pekovic straightened his bent back again.

The atmosphere in the locker room was freezing, and the players didn't know what Stan was going to do next, and what Stan did was indeed far beyond everyone's expectations.

"Pekovic, I was wrong", and then Stan half-turned to the player and said, "Sorry, I was wrong".

After speaking, Stan bowed to everyone.

Except for Pekovic, everyone doesn't understand what Stan is singing. Is it necessary to lose a ball like this?

After apologizing, Stan didn't explain anything to the players in the fog. He went to the tactical board and arranged the tactics for the second half.

In the second half, Stan planned to adopt a 343 formation. Wei Xiao's position was based on the premise. Stan knew that a tie would be a complete failure. His goal was to go to Brazil. If this goal cannot be achieved, then it is meaningless to stay in the coaching position of the Chinese national team.

Stan scribbled on the tactical board. He asked the players to make changes in the second half, and everyone should run more.

"We only need one ball, and the opponent flew to Shenzhen for more than 10 hours, but they were actually more tired," Stein said.

Everyone nodded.

"Do you still remember the game against Buriram"?

"what"?

"Oh, sorry, I thought I was the head coach of Guangzhou Tianbao now," Stein said.

Everyone laughed. I don't know if Stan did it on purpose or if he made a mistake. Anyway, when the atmosphere in the locker room is not right, Stan likes to say some inexplicable words to cheer everyone up.

"To make a long story short, I was down three in that game and my team came back and now we just need to score one and I can't see why we couldn't do it".

Li Weifeng knew that he, the captain, needed to stand up now, "Don't worry, coach, I must have run an extra kilometer in the second half. Look at the statistics after the game. If you don't do it, you will punish me."

Stan nodded to Li Weifeng. He was very grateful for Li Weifeng's support at this time. The role of role models is endless, and the statement of a team captain is very important.

"Okay, then treat us to dinner if you can't do it," Stan said.

Everyone laughed, obviously Stan was joking, because if he couldn't do it, everyone wouldn't be in the mood to eat.

*****

In the second half, it was the Iraqi team who kicked off the midfield. I don’t know if it was a sweet taste in the first half, or it was the arrangement of the head coach Zico. Iraq’s second half was compressed even further. Now the Chinese team has given up the midfield to Iraq, but the Iraqis are not fooled. They are determined not to come out.

A few more effective tricks to break the dense defense-one is high-altitude bombing, the other is long-range shooting, long-range shooting is like gambling, luck accounts for a large proportion, and high-altitude bombing?Now the Chinese team does not have a center like ***.

But there is another way to break the dense defense, that is to run more. If everyone runs 10% more, then it is equivalent to one more person, which can form a local personnel advantage. This is also a way to break the dense defense, but this method is not commonly used. The reason is very simple.

Several young people in the Chinese team - Hao Junmin and Deng Zhuoxiang thanked Stan very much. If it wasn't for Stan, it would be difficult for them to enter the national team again. So at the beginning of the second half, the two of them turned back and ran on the wing again and again, regardless of whether Zheng Zhi passed the ball or not.

Slowly Zico also saw that the situation was not good. There seemed to be many "cracks" in the team's three walls, but Zico didn't know where the problem was. It was true that Stan's tactics prevented Zico from making adjustments. The Chinese team ran too much, so the Iraqis had to keep up. If they didn't follow, what if Zheng Zhi happened to pass to that point?

In fact, if Zico is an excellent coach, what he has to do is not to find a way to plug the leak, but to tear down the wall by himself and press up like in the first half, because if the Chinese players run in their own half, it is an invalid run and a waste of physical energy.

Zico's reaction was another beat slower, but that helped Stan, and after 15 minutes of the Chinese team's dizzying interspersed runs in the second half, the Iraqis were exhausted, they followed the Chinese players, and each time it turned out that the Chinese players did nothing but run.

This is like the story of the wolf who came. Gradually, the Iraqis knew that the Chinese team's offense was full of thunder and rain.

And when Hao Junmin, Li Qiao, and Yu Dabao fired three arrows at once, the Iraqis just followed Li Qiao who they thought was the most threatening, and they ignored the other two.

Zheng Zhi saw the opportunity came, he passed the ball about 20 meters, the ball reached Hao Junmin's feet, and Zico finally understood the real purpose of the Chinese team, but it was too late.

Hao Junmin made a curved pass, and Yu Dabao in the middle rushed to the goal, shook his head and hit the far corner of the Iraqi goal. Because it was too sudden, the opponent's goalkeeper could only watch the football hit the net.

The ball was scored, and the scene was boiling again. After Yu Dabao scored the goal, he rushed to Stan immediately. He jumped high and dived into Stan's arms.
