Chapter 332 You Can't Demand Too Much From Newcomers

"Bei-style arc in the top ten arena, Tsui Keham made a final decision"

"National Youth Free Kick Talent Shines World Preliminaries"

Not surprisingly, the day after the victory, sports newspapers across the country were swamped by the victory.

The difference from the past is that this time the media's focus is not on how many goals the team wins, but on Xu Liang who scored directly from a free kick.

"The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead, and each wave is stronger than the other!"

Just after the China-Pakistan war ended, Lao Rong published such an article on his blog.

". After watching football for many years, I still think that Jianlibao is a young player."

"...I didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, this group of teenagers also became seniors."

". Is the Chinese team going to become the post-80s world?"

Lao Rong's emotion resonated with the fans.

Many netizens echoed it under their blog.

"Yeah, I still remember that the Four Little Swans came back to Qin Wang 4 years ago, but I didn't expect that they have grown into a mainstay today."

"Looking at Xu Liang's young face, who would have expected that this melon egg can score goals!"

"Xu Liang, Du Wei, Zheng Zhi. These players are all born in the 80s!"

"Could it be possible that we will send these 20-year-old players to the World Cup next year?"

"I don't know how many Ronaldos and Beckhams there are!"

Although the team defeated Bahrain at home, once again ushered in a victory.

But the Iranian team is also in hot pursuit.

At present, the Chinese team has 16 points, and they have already qualified last year.

But now, fans can only pin their hopes on the next game.

The later you go, the more cautious you need to be.

At this time, the Chinese team did not dare to lose, and neither did the Iranian team.

For both teams, a draw is a luxury.

After Qatar also lost to Iran, the situation in Group A has become completely clear.

Thailand, Bahrain, and Qatar were eliminated, and the Chinese team and Iran competed for the top two in the group.

Although the points are satisfactory to the fans.

But the team did not qualify.

And as the top ten came to an end, the team's disadvantages in the schedule became more and more obvious.

For the Chinese team, the last home game on October [-] is particularly important.

Facing Qatar, which is likely (very likely) to fight for honor (West Asia), the Chinese team has no choice but to win!

On October [-], Shenyang Wulihe Stadium.

In the sixth round of Group A of the top ten competition, the Chinese team VS Qatar.

As the penultimate and last home match of the Chinese top ten match, this game attracted the attention of fans across the country.

Countless fans are looking forward to the Chinese team qualifying at home.

But at present, it seems that the only thing the team can do is to play their own game well.

To the surprise of the fans, Zeng Zheng, who said "cautious" on his lips, formed a 433 formation in this game.

Goalkeeper Ou Chuliang, the defense line is Xu Yunlong, Zhang Yanhua, Li Weifeng and Wu Chengying; Zheng Zhi and Li Xiaopeng are the double midfielders, Zhang Xiaorui stands alone in the front midfielder; the forward trident is Shao Jiayi, Yang Chen and Qu Bo.

On the whole, Zeng Zheng once again showed his radical side.

Except for Li Tie who is still recuperating from his injuries in the main lineup, there is only one reason why the other main players did not play-rotation.

After a good rest, we can deal with the last away game against Iran in a better state.

From this point of view, there is really no need to use the main force in this game against Qatar.

After the opening, the offensive-oriented Chinese team took the lead in launching a rush attack.

The two wingers dominated by Zhang Xiaorui, Shao Jiayi and Qu Bo, with a very firm attitude, suppressed their opponents and launched a rush attack.

Only 2 minutes into the game, Shao Jiayi received a goal from Zhang Xiaorui with his back to the goal on the left rib.

Under the close pressure of the opponent, Shao Jiayi took a step back and then followed up with a fake Fax suddenly.

Just like that, after Cruyff turned around with an extremely exaggerated movement, Shao Jiayi successfully got rid of the defender, and then passed the ball to Yang Chen.

Yang Chen, who rushed into the penalty area, ran the ball a bit too much.

Although I have run, I still barely use my heels to push the ball back a little.

Zhang Xiaorui, who was in the back row, got the ball and glanced forward.

Although the path and line of sight for the shot in front were all blocked, Zhang Xiaorui did not hesitate at all, and directly distributed the ball to the other side.

Qu Bo from the right side went up to meet the ball, and with a light push with his left foot, the ball was rolled out of the baseline along the near post.

Seeing this, both Qu Bo and the fans behind the goal let out a sigh of regret.

"The left foot is still not good!"

Qu Bo tapped his toes to the ground and turned his ankle back and forth.

He was able to start this game thanks to his left foot!
After Xu Liang shined in the last game, Qu Bo was called by Zeng Zheng to talk.

As the pillar of the national youth striker, Qu Bo's development has attracted more attention from fans than Du Wei, Xu Liang, Sun Xiang and other national youth players.

Zeng Zheng's talk was very simple, just to test the ability of Qu Bo's left foot.

The reason why Zhang Xiaorui was able to get along like a fish in water in Benfica was that in many cases, he benefited from the fact that he had no inverse foot at all.

This is also the result of his hard work and hard work since he was a child.

But Qu Bo debuted as a right winger, with speed as his specialty.

The education I have received since I was a child is to run as fast as possible, pass the opponent with speed, and then make a pass from the bottom.

Such a single attribute can only be reduced to a substitute in the increasingly perfect national team.

Like Jianlibao's discussion before, he was gradually eliminated from the main lineup because of this.

Nowadays, although Qu Bo has studied abroad, it does not mean that going to a European club can play the main force in the national team.

Zeng Zheng placed ten footballs in the upper right corner of the penalty area one by one, and asked Qu Bo to kick to the place he designated with his left foot.

Qu Bo easily passed this almost fixed-point shot.

Then there are kicks against the ball while running, direct kicks while dribbling, adding goalkeepers, and setting up human walls.

After several consecutive rounds of testing, Zeng Zheng just nodded slightly and did not say the test results.

And when his name appeared in the starting list, Qu Bo knew that he had passed the initial test.

But what about the real test?
Obviously, he couldn't satisfy the fans and Zeng Zheng with his push just now.

"Qubo, Qubo!"

"Even Ryoko can score."

"Coach Zeng thinks highly of you, you can't lose the chain!"

Not long after cheering myself up, the Chinese team's offensive came back.

The attack is still initiated from the left.

Shao Jiayi has outstanding left foot ability, can pass and shoot, and his speed is not slow.

After receiving the ball from his teammates, he went all the way to the bottom line and made a pass.

Although Yang Chen, who was the fulcrum of the attack in this game, was strictly guarded by the opponent, but in the absence of a scoring task, he played a good cover role.

Facing Laiqiu, Yang blocked the defensive player with his body and then hit his forehead, pushing the ball back to Li Xiaopeng who was behind him.

The latter did not distribute the ball to the right this time, but shot immediately.

There was only a bang, and the ball hit the right post and bounced out.

Just when everyone felt sorry for Li Xiaopeng's strong shot, Qu Bo appeared in the center of the screen again.

Whoosh!
The high-speed Qubo wind blows past.

Grab the ball in front of the Qatari defender, and then shoot directly.

Although the opponent was caught off guard, Qu Bo's final kick was a bit off-putting, and the ball deviated from the goal frame again.

Seeing that such an opportunity was wasted again, Jin Chi and the two on the coach's bench were also jumping anxiously.

In the 9th minute, the Chinese team once again won a corner kick for the team through continuous cooperation from the left.

Shao Jiayi's free throw made Qatar's penalty area jittery. In the end, the goalkeeper had to attack decisively to barely hit the ball out of the penalty area.

Facing the incoming ball, Qu Bo once again wanted to rush forward to make a follow-up shot.

But this time, the Qatari defender had already defended and blocked the position with his body in advance.

Although Qu Bo's speed is fast, his body is still slightly lacking compared to his opponent. In the end, he can only watch helplessly as his opponent clears the ball.

Three minutes later, Wu Chengying, who was in the gap on the opponent's side, cut in from the left again, and then dribbled the ball all the way to the front of the penalty area.

Facing the opponent's supplementary defense, Wu Chengying kicked a heavy shot by himself. The ball hit the opponent's defender and popped out of the penalty area.

Zhang Xiaorui got stuck with his left leg and caught the ball with his right foot.

After a flick of the corner of the eye, the arch of the right foot changed to the outside of the instep, pushed to the side, and sent the ball to Qu Bo again.

This time, Qu Bo relied on his speed to rush to the ball ahead of time and catch the ball.

But because the opponent watched too much, Qu Bo did not choose to shoot this time, but rushed into the penalty area with a line.

The Qatar defender is not a vegetarian either, and has been pinning Qubo on the inside.

In this way, the two rushed to the bottom line all the way, Qu Bo tried to make a cross again, but it was a step too late.

The ball rolled out of the baseline first.

Seeing the series of attacks by the Chinese team, the head coach of Qatar was anxious, obviously a little discouraged by the strength of the Chinese team.

Qatar has completely lost the competition for World Cup tickets.

They have only one purpose, which is to help the Iranian team snipe the Chinese team.

It wasn't until they came to the away game and faced such a "Chinese second team" that they realized how much advantage they had taken in Doha.

"As expected of the Chinese team!"

"This Chinese team is no longer the team it was four years ago."

"The Chinese team is fully capable. Go to the World Cup and compete with the powerful players from other continents."

The Qatari coach sighed here, and the Chinese coach's bench was also frowning.

"Xiao Zeng, look, it's almost 10 minutes."

"Yes, Xiao Zeng, we have attacked a lot!"

Zeng Zheng glanced at the timer, which showed 19 minutes and 09 seconds.

The home court is still gaining momentum and not scoring. He, the head coach, is responsible.

But the player's feet were inaccurate, and he had nothing to do.

All that should be reminded have been reminded, and all that should be said has been said.

He was also in a hurry when the player couldn't score a goal.

The right is Qatar's weakness.

Zeng Zheng had already discovered this point and formulated corresponding strategies.

Unexpectedly, Qatar is not only full of tenacity, but also very lucky.

In the several strong attacks of the Chinese team, although the formation was a bit chaotic, they still defended the goal.

Just like Li Xiaopeng's upright before, the ball can obviously be scored!

I didn't get points at the beginning, what should I do next?
Is it to kill the opponent in one go, or to relax first and give both sides a breathing space?
Zeng Zheng looked at these young players on the field and didn't intend to stop there.

What is the purpose of letting you play today?
Don't you just want you to make a good appearance in front of the fans across the country through the top ten games?

In the last tough battle, the main force will come to the fore, so you just have to play well in this home game.

There is no need to consider physical fitness, and there is no need to consider red and yellow cards.

Just do it for me!

However, when Zeng Zheng was thinking about how to motivate his players to take the last shot, the situation on the field suddenly changed.

With the failure of the Chinese team's attack, Qatar actually launched a counterattack and quickly passed the ball to the Chinese team's penalty area.

Although Zhang Yanhua overwhelmed the opponent's center with a header to make a clearance, the ball was not solid and the clearance was not far away.

Seeing Qatar's midfielder thrusting in to meet the ball, at the critical moment, Zheng Zhi rushed forward and blocked the eye-catching with his body.

"Bang!!!"

A muffled sound.

The ball soared into the sky.

Zheng Zhi, who was severely smothered to the side, did not fall down.

Instead, he immediately blocked the opponent with his body, won the first place where the ball landed, and distributed the ball to his teammates on the wing.

Such an excellent performance made the fans in the stands stand up and applaud him.

"Without Tie Zi, this guy Zheng Zhi can handle things!"

"Yeah, yeah, he really loves something!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, maybe he's tougher than Li Tie!"

"Tiezi is in trouble this time. When he came back from his wounds, he found that the main position is gone!"

"Speaking of Tiezi, I don't know how he is recuperating and whether he can catch up with the last game against Iran."

"I didn't understand the ball before, but now I know that Li Tie's role on the court is really great!"

After successfully clearing the siege, Zheng Zhi did not fall to the ground to rest, but clenched his fist with his right hand and put it on his chest "OHYE".

Li Weifeng stepped forward and patted Zheng Zhi's head: "Okay, Xiao Zhi, this time I have the demeanor of an iron man."

Zheng Zhi said modestly: "That's not true, Tie Zi is not here, I can't lose his face!"

Zheng Zhi and Li Tie really learned a lot by sticking to this one!
"What's going on in the future? Have you forgotten to stabilize the defense before attacking?" Zeng Zheng shouted dissatisfied.

"Defend the back first before thinking about attacking."

"Zhang Xiaorui, Li Xiaopeng, what are you two doing for food?"

"Why are you running so far ahead?"

"Don't you know if you shout more on the field?"

The two who had been named glanced at the sidelines, and immediately used their native dialect to guarantee Zeng Zheng's ticket.

"Boss Zeng, my door is clear, don't worry!"

"Coach Zeng, I know, don't worry about it!"

Hearing the smell of the pancake roll, Zeng Zheng almost lost his breath.

"Don't tell me about cross talk, both of you, hurry up and figure out the midfield!"

But so what?

Qatar's counterattack just now has obviously been adjusted.

They not only adapted to the Chinese team's offense, but also seized the gap in the Chinese team's offense.

If Zhang Xiaorui and Li Xiaopeng don't sort out the midfield well, there will be more and more situations like this in the future.

One mistake, maybe the tragedy of four years ago will happen again.

Just think back then, no one expected that Qatar's fighting power would be overwhelming in the last few group matches.

After entering the second 10 minutes, the Chinese team began to slow down the offensive.

After Qatar recovered, its offensive performance also improved a lot.

Although there is still no way to start a positional battle, their counterattacks can always reach the front of the Chinese team's penalty area.

In a long pass from the backcourt, the opponent's left forward rushed behind Li Xiaopeng in time to grab the first spot, and then quickly distributed the ball to the center.

Fortunately, Zheng Zhi tightly entangled the opponent's midfielder with the ball, forcing the opponent to make a mistake when passing the ball again, allowing China to get a backcourt throw-in.

This successful defense also allowed Zheng Zhi to win applause from the fans again.

Or more and more brave.

Only 2 minutes later, it was Zheng Zhi who made a decisive attack at the critical moment, blocked the opponent's cross with his body, and then made a big-footed clearance.

"Zheng Zhi is good at it. The more he fights, the braver he is. This ball is really blocked in time!"

Hearing late guests' praise, Zeng Zheng rolled his eyes. "Which Zheng Zhi is playing more and more courageously? This is clearly Qatar's playing more and more courageously?!"

As Qatar's counterattack became more and more smooth, Zeng Zheng also began to clearly realize that this "second national football team" really cannot completely suppress the opponent.

Instead of always being given the opportunity to counterattack by the opponent, it is better to slow down honestly and control the rhythm.

While controlling the ball, wear down the opponent's will and physical fitness, and then slowly figure it out.

Anyway, Zheng Zhi is in a good state today.

With him standing behind him, Zeng Zheng felt much more at ease about the defense.

Ever since, under the command of Zeng Zheng, the rhythm of the team slowly slowed down.

No. In the 309th minute, after Li Xiaopeng and Xu Yunlong fell back several times in a row, Xu Yunlong waited for the opportunity to decisively split the side.

As soon as Shao Jia got the ball from the left, he quickly made a cross. Yang Chen and Zhang Xiaorui slid past the goal one after another, and missed the shot from close range.

The most regrettable among them is Qu Bo.

At the back point, he never expected that the ball would slide past the goal.

When he, who had already slowed down, wanted to speed up and rush forward, the ball had already slipped away from him.

In this way, Qu Bo followed the ball and accelerated desperately, chasing all the way to the sideline.

After an unconserved sliding tackle, together with the ball, it slid out of the sideline.

Seeing this, even Huang Jianxiang couldn't help feeling: "Oh, this ball is not decisive!"

"If it's Li Jinyu, don't care what happens to him, just rush up and talk."

"Qu Bo missed another chance to score."

"It seems that we still can't demand too much from the national youth players."

Three minutes later, the Chinese team had the best chance to score in the first half in the positional battle.

Shao Jiayi passed a diagonal pass to Zhang Xiaorui from the left, and the latter made a precise through pass, sending the ball to Yang Chen's feet, allowing the latter to form a semi-single-handed situation.

However, facing the opponent's defender who was desperately rushing over, Yang Chen hesitated for a while, and finally did not choose to shoot directly, but distributed the ball to the other side.

Qu Bo on the other side ran to the offside position first because of Yang Chen's delay.

Although he finally pushed the ball passed by Yang Chen into the empty goal, he was judged offside by the referee and the goal was invalidated.

This mistake made Zeng Zheng and the coaching staff on the sidelines greatly astonished, and at the same time helpless.

"What was Xiao Yang hesitating just now? Just shoot when it's time to shoot! Why did he stretch his hips too?"

"Is it because he won't play without assigning scoring tasks? It shouldn't be!"

"If you want me to say, he is still considering whether to support the younger generation. After all, the ball just now was completely empty."

It doesn't matter why Yang Chen hesitated, and it doesn't matter whether Qu Bo ran a little faster because of the delay of his teammates.

An offside is an offside, and a foul is a foul.

Football games are like this sometimes, if you miss it, you miss it completely.

Zeng Zheng didn't say much about the cooperation of "Yang Qu" in not calling.

In this way, the time passed by every minute and every second, and the referee finally blew the whistle for the end of the first half.
