Chapter 49: Lies
Dong Fangzhuo sat quietly on the bench, looking at the huge and unfamiliar Kuwait Park stadium without a trace of waves.
After three days in the national team, he really doesn't have any specific memories of this game, just the final score of this game and the story that happened later.
The process of this game was completely forgotten, and he didn't even remember that Sun Jihai, who was sitting next to him, was actually sitting on the bench instead of starting to fight.
He glanced at Sun Jihai.
Sun Jihai seems to be a little absent-minded?
Sun Jihai's eyes were a little erratic, although his eyes kept looking at the court, but he didn't blink, what does this mean?
If you're really watching the ball, your eyes and head will definitely follow the path of the ball at any time, but not blinking now only means that his mind is not on the court.
But in the heart!
What do you do with your heart? Naturally, there is an idea.
Sun Jihai didn't expect that he had traveled thousands of miles from England to Kuwait, and he was actually sitting on the bench watching the water dispenser!
He should be the main force and fight hard for the Chinese team!
But Alihan put him on the bench for a tacit understanding and a more balanced offense and defense.
Even in the right-back position, is Wei Xin really more suitable than himself?
No
It's just that Alihan's thinking is too narrow!
Anyway, Sun Jihai was very unhappy.
On the contrary, Dong Fangzhuo is very open-minded, although he is only 19 years old now, his real age mentality is 34 years old! And Sun Jihai's age is only 27 years old.
So the mood of the two people is just the opposite. Sun Jihai wanted to fight but was very unhappy by Alihan, while Dong Fangzhuo was always thinking positively.
Alihan actually approached Dong Fangzhuo early on to talk to him alone, thinking that he played better in the second half and was more of a threat to the opponent, and also cited the example of his play at Manchester United.
But Alihan hasn't talked to Sun Jihai alone!
Sure enough, different players are treated differently......
Perhaps because both sides could not afford to lose, the forces invested by both sides on the offensive end were very limited, and both sides intended to collect the kicks at the beginning, and there was no intention of taking the initiative to attack, and the advance speed was quite slow.
This made Dong Fangzhuo look a little unaccustomed to it.
This rhythm,
What the hell is playing football?
Then he went into a trance and patted himself on the head.
Wasn't this the rhythm of the Chinese team before? I played in the Premier League for so long that I almost forgot the rhythm of the Asian football team......
He also participated in the Asian Cup in the middle of the year, but at that time, he only had five minutes to play in each game, and he was simply going to play soy sauce, so his feelings were not as deep as at this moment.
Can you kick the pace up a little faster?
He even wants his teammates in the national team to play faster.
If Li Ming and Zheng Zhi are both on the field......
He also has times when he assumes.
This national team is not the strongest national team, because the midfield lacks Li Ming, and the defenders lack the core Zheng Zhi!
Li Ming is injury was not all healed, so Alihan did not let Li Ming go, and Zheng Zhi was suspended because of the red card......
In Dong Fangzhuo's view, only when Li Ming and Zheng Zhi are on the court at the same time, the Chinese team is the strongest.
Now that Li Ming and Zheng Zhi are not there, the Chinese team is a little silent.
Shao Jiayi, who had high hopes, was not able to bring more vitality to the Chinese team in the forward position......
In the 8th minute, the Chinese team instigated a very high-quality attack. Yang Pu quickly crossed after breaking the ball on the left side, Xu Yunlong returned the ball in front of the penalty area, and Li Jinyu's powerful low shot was saved by the Kuwaiti goalkeeper.
This is actually the first really threatening shot of the Chinese team!
Dong Fangzhuo scratched his head, not knowing what to say.
The game was really boring!
And then......
The two sides seem to have said a long time ago, if you don't attack, I won't attack, you don't threaten me, I won't threaten you......
For more than half an hour, the two sides did not have a single shot on goal.
Dong Fangzhuo finally deeply understood the feelings of Chinese fans back then.
What does it feel like not cumming for 90 minutes!
Teter's so uncomfortable!
If you don't shoot, you won't have a chance to shoot!
If you don't shoot again, are you waiting for Kuwait to score?
He remembered that Kuwait was going to score.
Then, the game finally came to stoppage time.
Kuwait got a chance to take corners in a row!
Boom!
Li Weifeng pushed the ball out!
Another corner!
The ball is out again.
This time it was Zhang Yaokun's turn to push the ball out, but it was still a corner kick!
Three corners in a row!
MMP, shouldn't they score at the last minute?
Dong Fangzhuo actually stood up.
There was an inexplicable trace of panic in my heart.
Knock –
Shao Jiayi jumped high and pushed the ball forward!
No!
Kuwait haven't scored yet!
It's dangerous......
Kuwait failed to score from three corners, and the first half ended 0-0.
There's nothing more painful than knowing the score in advance.
A draw is acceptable for the Chinese team, at least in Alihan's opinion.
In the dressing room, Alihan constantly stressed that he should not take it lightly, especially in the last moments of the first half, and should not give the opponent three consecutive corners.
He can't, emphasize the offense?
Dong Fangzhuo was a little disappointed.
It's a game of life and death, and just thinking about how to defend can really win the game?
Why can't you think of a way to go on offense?
For example, can the midfielder put in more troops, and the forward awareness is a little stronger?
Dong Fangzhuo is no longer the Dong Fangzhuo of the year, he suddenly found that Alihan did not put him in the starting lineup, not because he did not cooperate with other teammates tacitly.
Rather, Alihan never thought about winning at Kuwait's home stadium from the start.
That's a lie!
Because Alihan thinks that as long as he gets one point, he will be content, one point can crush Kuwait, and then beat HK in the final round, won't he be able to rush into the top ten in the Asian region of the World Preliminaries?
This is wishful thinking!
Damn it
It's because every time I think that a draw can qualify, it turns out to be a tragedy in the end!
Dong Fangzhuo thought about it, and finally had a little anger in his heart!
This kind of anger made him anxious to play, and he really hoped that Alihan could let him warm up on the sidelines.
But
No......
And then
The race has just begun!
In the 46th minute,
Sun Xiang's pass was broken, the Kuwait team quickly launched a counterattack, broke through on the right side and crossed the bottom, Bashar fell to the ground near the small penalty area line to head back, and a striker named Juma shot hard.
Kuwait leads 1-0......
