Chapter 180: Going to Lose?
Chapter 180 Going to Lose?
Lippi is actually okay with a draw, which is Iran's home stadium after all, and a draw will not affect the prospects of the Chinese team.
China's next three opponents are Syria away, Uzbekistan at home, and Qatar away. Compared to Iran, the remaining three opponents are much easier to deal with.
There is not much pressure on the Chinese team to qualify, if this one is drawn, in the next three games, the Chinese team only needs to get three points to ensure that the group qualifys!
“.... Defensively we have to be careful not to lose the ball easily, we try to keep the ball in check! ”
Lippi stressed in the dressing room. In the first half, the Chinese team did not do a very good job in control, Lippi used Gao Lin and Yu Dabao two players to start, instead of Yu Hanchao and Wu Lei, who played the South Korean team before, the purpose is also to test the control ability of the Chinese team's midfield.
It has been proved that it is really difficult for the Chinese team to calmly control the ball under the impact of a team like Iran.
Not long after the start of the second half, the Chinese team conceded another goal.
There was a passing error in the midfield of the Chinese team, and the pass between Wu Xi and Hao Junmin was predicted in advance by Iranian midfielder Shao Jiayi, who grabbed and cut off the ball passed by Wu Xi to Hao Junmin.
Then Shao Jiayi drove straight into with the ball, and in the face of the opponent's midfield short gun, the Chinese team's back line began to panic.
Li Xuepeng retracted the middle lane, and as a result, there was a big gap on the left side!
Shao Jiayi passed the ball to the right side of Iran's attacking direction, that is, the left side of the Chinese team's defense.
Where, two Iranian players, including striker Guchanejad and left-back Jafuri, saw this space, and there was a major flaw in the Chinese team's defense!
Shao Jiayi also saw this gap, he passed the ball over, in such a big gap, Shao Jiayi's passing footwork does not need to be too subtle, he only needs to pass the ball to that area, and the players of the Iranian team will definitely be able to control the ball.
Left-back Jafuri got the ball, and at this time Zhang Xizhe came back to participate in the defense, but at this time on the left side, the Iranian team was two against one!
Jafuri passed the ball to Guchanejad, and Zhang Xizhe had no way at all, and the two players on the other side faced him, a midfielder who is not very good at defending, and there was a way.
Guchanejad took the ball forward unguarded and slid into the box.
The already panicked Chinese team's defense line was even more helpless at this time.
Feng Xiaoting still knew very well that no matter what, the player with the ball in the penalty area must step forward to defend, so he rushed forward.
But unfortunately, his partner Mei Fang also thought so, and the two central defenders of the Chinese team almost panicked and rushed up to intercept Guchanejad, who was defending the ball.
Two centre-backs stepped up at the same time, creating a fatal gap in the middle of the box!
Guchanejad passed the ball out in time.
The two central defenders of the Chinese team, the two cornerstones of the defense can only look at the ball and sigh at this time, Feng Xiaoting looked at the football that rolled past him with some despair, he turned his head to look, and saw the figure of the Iranian midfielder who stepped forward to meet the ball and push it....
Zeng Cheng couldn't do anything about this ball... In fact, at this moment, even Buffon, who is standing in Zeng Cheng's position, is powerless. The goalkeeper is not a god after all...
"Beautiful!!! GOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!! Nice counter-attack!! Zatolasi scored Iran's second goal of the game!! Now we are leading the score again!! Two to one!! Pretty!!! "The Iranian commentators are very excited.
The home fans were also immediately excited, and the atmosphere reached its highest point at the beginning of the second half, with the Iranians celebrating under the cheers of the mountains and tsunamis.
Ezatorahi clenched his fists and roared!
Guchanejad rushed into the goal with another round of excitement.
Iranian goalkeeper Ali Reza Beiranvand even excitedly did a backflip in front of goal...
Queiroz and his coaching staff were also in the midst of a frenzy.
At the beginning of the second half, Iran took the lead again. This is enough to show that Queiroz's adjustment at half-time was very effective!
Queiroz's celebration was restrained, and the Iranian coach left the dugout after celebrating with his assistants, tidied up his black blazer, which had been wrinkled by the celebration, and then stood on the sidelines, pointing his index finger at his temple.
Calm down!!!
That's what Queiroz asked Iran's players to do.
He's happy with the players, so of course he's going to ask them to keep playing that way!
Break the ball in the midfield, and then go to impact the defense of the Chinese team!! They're going to panic themselves!
Queiroz has seen many videos of the Chinese team's games, and he insists that despite the addition of Li Qingshan, this is only a point, and the Chinese team's defense is still the same weak defense as before...
"Lost the ball..."Duan Xuan's tone was a little lost, "Ezzatolahi pushed in the penalty area to help the Iranian team take the lead again, it is worth mentioning that this is the first time that the Iranian team has scored more than one goal in a game in this round of 12.... They've scored two goals now! ”
The biggest feature of the Iranian team in this tournament is that they have a solid defense, but the number of goals scored is really small, and the score of several of their wins is the same: 1-0!
Queiroz looks more Italian than Lippi, and the one-to-zero doctrine is vividly reflected in the Iranian team!
However, in this game, the Chinese team was scored two goals by the Iranian team, and I don't know if this shows the weakness of the Chinese team's defense, or when the Iranian team puts its energy into the offensive end, their offense is as sharp as the defense.
Lippi looked helpless in the dugout, and he spread his hands to say something to Madaloni. The defects in the overall strength of the Chinese team are still very serious, the ball control cannot be controlled, and if the defense counterattacks, in the face of the impact of Iran, the ball may be lost first, and the counterattack has not yet come....
The players of the Chinese team looked lost.
Wu Xi, who wore the lost ball, knelt on his knees and covered his face with his hands...
Feng Xiaoting and Mei Fang were blaming each other, and the lack of understanding between them largely gave Ezzatorahi the opportunity to shoot calmly.
And Li Xuepeng also quietly glanced at the Iranians who were celebrating at this time, Iran's attack opened the gap from the left side of his town, and Li Xuepeng was to blame for the loss of the goal.
Maybe... You're really going to lose, right?
The hearts of the players of the Chinese team suddenly sounded with the fear of losing all over Asia in the past...
