Fox in the Penalty Area

Chapter 304: The Road to the 2030 World Cup

It seems to be to prove that the top 12 is really difficult to play.

In another group that kicked off first, the seeded team South Korea was tied at home by the weak Bahrain.

The score is 0:0.

The South Korean team got off to a bad start and immediately sounded the alarm for other strong teams in Asia.

Let them realize that in the top 12, even a team like Bahrain, which is ranked outside the 100 by FIFA, can make a difference.

A team like Bahrain can tie South Korea on the road, not to mention Iraq.

You must know that Iraq is much stronger than Bahrain. They have won the Asian Cup before - even though it was more than 20 years ago...

Although Iraq has been affected by war for a long time, most of the main players of the national team play in the leagues of other surrounding Gulf countries, so the interference is not very big. You can still train and play as normal.

It is not the same as what some people in China think of living in war and ruins all day long, anxious, hungry, and displaced.

The former Iraqi national team won the Asian Cup with their golden generation, and now they have completed multiple rounds of replacement.

The strength of Iraqi football has also declined a lot from its peak.

But still a team to be reckoned with.

After all, the war brought disaster to the people of this country, but it also tempered their spirit.

So the fighting spirit of the Iraqi players is very tenacious.

"I say so much to make you realize that the opponent in front of you is not weak. If you take it lightly, it may not be like the South Korean team, it may be worse than the South Korean team! Because Iraq is much stronger than Bahrain!"

Translator Yu Jintao translated Dillon's chattering for a long time to the national team players in the locker room. His expression was as serious as Dillon's.

After working with Dillon for so many years, Yu Jintao will also unconsciously imitate Dillon's tone and body language, making him look like a Jorge Dillon who can speak Chinese.

"Today is our first game in the top 12. The first step is very important, because it will bring endless psychological hints. So the first game should be played well, so that the next game will be better. good fight...

"I want you to always remember what I said to you when I first came to coach this team: there are 1.5 billion people in this country watching you, and it's a huge pressure of course. But also a huge glory, Because it's really cool to be able to make 1.5 billion people happy!"

※※※The first round of the Chinese team was played at the Workers Stadium in the capital.

The workers' stadium, which can hold 75,000 people, was packed.

Fans flocked in and around the capital, and they ripped out a giant TFO in the stands before the game.

The lower left corner of TF is a group portrait of all the Chinese national team players and head coach Dillon, and the upper right corner is the sparkling World Cup trophy. From the lower left corner to the upper right corner, a streamer that alludes to the road extends, connecting the two closely.

The top line of TIF0 reads: "The Road to the 2030 World Cup"

Below is another line of words: "The journey of dryness begins with one step!"

As this giant TFO said, the road to the World Cup of Chinese football starts from this day, from this game, in this stadium.

※※※

"...The offensive tactics of the Chinese team are somewhat similar to those of the National Olympic team. They all rely on Xia Xiaoyu and Zhang Qinghuan to organize the attack in the middle, and Zhou Zijing is the bridgehead in front to provide opportunities for Hu Lai... The four of them have a tacit understanding in the National Olympic team. , and now it's just moving to the national team. It's not long since the Olympics ended, I believe they haven't forgotten that feeling"

He Feng said.

Yan Kang next to him added with a smile: "There are also differences, He Feng. Don't forget, the national team has two more powerful flanks than the Olympic team!"

"Ha, that's right! The Olympic team doesn't have a wing, but the national team does!"

The two were talking on the commentary stand. On the court off the stage, Chen Xingyi was running wild with his hands raised on the sidewalk.

His move caught the attention of the Iraqi defenders, who were decisively focused on the Chinese team's left flank and their right slanted.

So Xia Xiaoyu, who had the ball in the backcourt, used a fake pass to shake the defender away, then immediately turned to the right and passed the ball to Luo Kai, who was on the right.

Roquet received the ball on the touchline, he didn't stop the ball directly at his feet - although that wasn't too difficult for him.

He jumped up in the air and kicked the football forward with his feet.

Let the football move, and others move too.

When it comes to speed, two or three steps will leave behind the Iraqi defensive players who rushed in!

"Rocky! Pretty!\"

With the huge cheers over the workers, Luo Kai dashed forward with the ball on the wing.

Then when the Iraqi defender thought he was going to continue making a cross, he suddenly cut inside!

Immediately after, he lifted his left leg and shot from outside the penalty area!

The football draws a clear arc around the Iraqi defender who came up to block his shot, and the goalkeeper's outstretched palm swirls into the goal from the inside of the far post!

Hu Lai, who rushed to the goal for the first time, didn't wait for the opportunity to make a shot, but he jumped up with his arms high for the first time, then turned and ran in the direction of Luo Kai.

He didn't score the ball, so what?

It's our goal!

We are ahead!

"Luo Kai!!! Beautiful! Beautiful! So beautiful!! Luo Kai! He scored China's first goal in the top 12!"

Roque, who scored the goal, turned around and ran to the sideline. He did not make too excited celebrations, but ran to the sideline, then raised his arms and shouted!

Immediately afterwards, he was hugged by the other players of the Chinese team swarming in.

The Chinese fans in the stands waved everything in their hands and responded loudly to the players of the national team.

The giant TIFO had been put away after the game and was replaced by a simplified version of the banner that encircled half the stadium.

The banner is the text version of TIFO, and each word is large and very eye-catching:

"A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step - the road to the 2030 World Cup starts from the Works!"

Now the banner is waving and shaking like the ribbon on TIFO connecting the Chinese team and the World Cup.

※※※After Luo Kai scored the first goal of the Chinese team, the Chinese team did not relax their demands, but continued to maintain their high pressure on Iraq.

And managed to score another goal towards the end of the first half.

This time, Zhang Qinghuan dribbled the ball into the penalty area and was knocked to the ground by the Iraqi defender. The referee decisively awarded a penalty kick and showed the Iraqi defender a yellow card for the foul.

The penalty won by Zhang Qinghuan was handed over to Hu Lai to take the penalty.

As the team's number one penalty taker, all penalty kicks are given priority to Hu Lai unless he voluntarily concedes.

In the end, Hu Lai made it overnight and scored the penalty easily.

The Chinese team ended the first half with a 2-0 lead.

After the fifteen-minute intermission, the two sides changed sides and fought again.

In the 67th minute, Zhang Qinghuan received a header from Zhou Zijing in the penalty area and scored a half-volley.

The Chinese team 3:0 Iraq!

After a three-goal lead ~www.readwn.com~ Dillon began to make substitutions and adjustments.

He replaced Zhang Qinghuan, the scoring hero, with Guo Junfu, and replaced Gao Ruimin with Ou Yangjin.

Obviously this is going to start the rotation and train more players.

As a very talented offensive midfielder in China, Guo Junfu is a pity that his competitor in the national team is Zhang Qinghuan, who is more powerful, so he is rarely able to start the national team and has limited playing opportunities.

But he is also an indispensable figure, because Zhang Qinghuan can't be expected to play all the games alone, and he must find a backup for him. And Guo Junfu is such a backup.

The purpose of letting Ou Yangjin play is also very clear, giving young people a chance to play and feel the atmosphere and rhythm of the top 12 competition.

Anyway, they are leading by three goals. Even if the young people are nervous after going up, there is still a bottom line for making some mistakes, and it will not cause any irreversible consequences.

In fact, there are no serious consequences...

Ou Yangjin's performance was quite satisfactory after he came on the court.

In addition, there are experienced "old players" such as Hu Lai, Zhou Zijing, Xia Xiaoyu, Luo Kai, Chen Xingyi, Wang Guangwei, etc., no matter how bad it is, it can't be bad.

After making two substitution adjustments, the Chinese team also slowed down.

In the end, neither side scored.

The Chinese team defeated Iraq 3-0 at home and made a good start to the top 12.

The Chinese team's road to the 2030 World Cup also kicked off with a victory.
