Volume 4 World Cup Legends, Chapter 49 A Different Chinese Team

The starting line-up for Iran is:

Goalkeeper: Rahmati Defender: Nosra Tigalar Hosseini Ashgari Hajigi Midfielder: Karim Nekonan Tai Mourian Forward: Shejay Rezai, Nuroz.

This is an attacking 433 formation, even in the away face against the Chinese team with Li Huan, Queiroz still discharged the 433 formation, although nominally the Iranian team has three backs, but in fact, the defense of the back position mainly relies on Nekonan alone, and Timurian and Karimi have a large range of activities.

Although the Iranians put on a strong offensive formation, what they didn't expect was that after the game started, the Chinese team's attack in the opening stage was even more ferocious than them.

Only 22 seconds into the opening game, Li Huan went down to the bottom and returned the pass, Xu Yang made a barb in the Iranian team's penalty area, and the ball slid out of the goal. This difficult shot kicked off the prelude to the first 10 minutes of "Li Jiajun's" attack. In the 2nd minute, Zhang Dong missed a good opportunity to poke in front of the goal; In the 4th minute, Wu Han followed up with a long-range shot in the middle, and the Iranian defender bravely blocked the ball.

Seeing the Chinese team's repeated attacks, the Iranian team was in danger in front of the goal, the coach of the Iranian team, Queiroz, was anxious, they didn't expect the Chinese team to attack so quickly, play so risky, and press so fiercely, which is exactly the same as the Chinese team's style of play that he studied before, Queiroz had to frequently run to the sidelines and shout to the players to pay attention and keep up with the rhythm of the Chinese team.

Not only Queiroz can't understand it, but the fans at the scene, the reporters who came to interview, and some Asian football celebrities can't understand it, because this national team is too young, it has only been established for less than half a year, and the main members of the national team are football students who have not played in professional leagues, and the only few players who play overseas are also playing outside the five major leagues, and there is the second team in the five major leagues, such player information is difficult to find, and such a national team is more mysterious than the North Korean team. If you want to know the style of play of the Lee national team, there are only two games in the first two games of the Lee national team.

In the first two games, Li Huan's style of play was only a defensive counterattack, and it was a defensive counterattack like an iron bucket formation, and there were not many tactics at all, but the current national team played fiercely, cooperated tacitly, and the offensive and defensive rhythm was concise and fast, and there was no connection with the previous two games at all.

The reason why the Chinese team can play such a tacit cooperation is because most of the international players of the Chinese team are students of Daystar Football School, and their technical and tactical awareness are taught by German coaches, and there are not too many obstacles to the cooperation between them. Of course, the Iranian team was beaten so embarrassed not because of how tacit the Chinese team cooperated, even if the Iranian team faced South Korea, it would not be so passive, and the current cooperation of the Chinese team would never have the tacit understanding of the team, the reason why the Iranian team was passive was that their pre-game preparations did not play a role, and it was inevitable that there would be flaws in the panic.

Assistant coach Madavecchia looked anxious and shocked, the Iranian team's "veteran of the three dynasties", but also a representative of the Sino-Iranian confrontation, he carefully studied the Chinese team, but he really didn't expect the Chinese team to dare to attack so aggressively at the beginning, under the pressure of the Chinese team, Iran's entire defense line was chaotic.

Chinese fans never imagined that the Chinese team could play such a game in front of the Iranian team, and they were very excited to see the Iranian team being beaten to the ground, and they applauded desperately in the stands to cheer for their players, while shouting "Enter one!" "Get one!"

Goal! Now is the most urgent problem for the Chinese team to solve. Many teams often end up losing because they can't score points, and the Chinese team can't repeat the mistakes of the past.

In the 7th minute after the opening, Liu Chao received Yu Tong's pass in the penalty area with his right foot, the ball was saved by the Iranian goalkeeper from the bottom line, a minute later, Li Huan sent a corner kick, and the Chinese team defender Wang Chunlei hit the post with a powerful header in the back row, and missed the goal, but his header also almost scared the Iranians out of the heart attack.

In the tenth minute of the game, the Iranian team finally got a chance to counterattack, winger Karimi dribbled straight to the bottom line, wanted to cross the bottom, and took advantage of the tall and strong characteristics of the Iranian player to grab the header.

However, Fan Yang did not give face to the Iranians, and their only chance to counterattack in the first 10 minutes was destroyed by Fan Yang.

Nekonan took a corner kick, and he looked for Shejay, Rezai and Nuroz in the middle, but Li Huan saw the trajectory of the ball very clearly, and he forced to move to the middle and pushed the ball out of the penalty area.

Timourian grabbed the second drop outside the penalty area, and he raised his foot directly to shoot from a distance, but Tamurian had no chance to touch the ball in the first few minutes, and his foot felt much worse, and this long-range shot actually hit a plane.

The Chinese fans at the scene immediately burst into laughter, it is extremely happy to be able to see the opponent make a fool of himself in public, the Chinese team has not scored yet, and the fans temporarily use the Chinese team teasing the Iranian team as a way to fill in.

The Chinese team's oppressive attack played for a full ten minutes before relaxing the rhythm and preparing to take a breath, no matter how young the Chinese team is, and then have the advantage of the home field, what are they human beings, it is impossible to play with such a fast pace for a lifetime.

The Iranian team saw that the Chinese team had slowed down the pace, they were all experienced players, and immediately understood that the Chinese team's players were not declining in physical fitness and needed to take a breather. They immediately launched a counterattack, wanting to vent the pain of being suppressed in the first ten minutes.

However, the Iranian team did not make a fatal mistake when they were suppressed by the Chinese team, and now when they attack in a big way, the back line is in a cup.

The continuous cooperation of the Iranian team's La Liga duo Nekonan and Shejay in the front court and personal breakthroughs attracted almost all the attention of the Chinese team's backline, and Li Huan also came to the central area from the fullback, ready to make up for the middle at any time.

Nekonan has a strong sense of the big picture and awareness, and after he attracted the defenders of the Chinese team, he immediately split the ball to the side and found Tai Murian who was inserted.

Originally, Tai Mu Lian was facing Li Huan's defense area, but at this time Li Huan had entered the middle area, and Tai Mu Lian was almost no one to defend, but when Tai Mu Lian received the pass and was about to go to the bottom, Li Huan didn't know when he had arrived, and at the moment of Tai Mu Lian's cross, Li Huan smothered the ball on Tai Mu Lian's feet.

This is equivalent to two people on the feet, Tai Murian's strength is far inferior to Li Huan, and he is not prepared, one butt squatted on the turf, and the ball flew into the air under the action of the two forces.

Li Huan stepped over Taimurian's body, flipped the ball with his chest, and then picked it with his foot, past the Iranian striker Rezai who pounced, and without waiting for the ball to land, Li Huan picked up his leg and kicked the ball to the back of the Iranian defender to counterattack.
