Midfielder Ruler

Chapter 16 Surprise, Team No. 2

The Chinese team played at home against Qatar, whose starting lineup average age was less than 23 years old. The quality of the game was somewhat lacking, but the Chinese fans who were eager to see the national team enter the World Cup did not dislike them. They even wished that Qatar would send a national team to participate World Cup Asian qualifiers.

From the first second of the game, it became a half-time offensive and defensive drill for the Chinese team, and the young Qatar team had to continue to be in the defensive stage.

Perhaps they had thought of this situation before the game, so they maintained a very good mentality. They dared to use their young bodies to contact the Chinese players, but they could barely withstand the continuous attacks of the Chinese team.

Tang Zheng and Zheng Zhi, who controlled the rhythm of the game, realized that the offense should not be rushed, so they made full use of the width of the game and adjusted Qatar's defense back and forth.

Finally, at the ninth minute of the game, Wu Sanshi found a good opportunity through his flexible movement. He received Tang Zheng's second pass and gave the Chinese team the lead.

The Wuhan Sports Center immediately became a sea of ​​joy for the Chinese team, and more than 50,000 fans excitedly celebrated the team's goal.

If the Chinese team ends the game with the current game, no matter how the other game between South Korea and Australia is played at the same time, the Chinese team will get a place to directly qualify for the World Cup in Brazil next year!

The score of the Chinese team leading Qatar was quickly transmitted to South Korea through the Internet, but the score between South Korea and Australia has not changed, and it is still 0:0.

If this continues, the team participating in the play-offs is likely to be South Korea!

Therefore, the head coach Cui Kangxi seemed very anxious. Taking advantage of a dead ball opportunity, he quickly made a gesture towards Ki Sung-yong to strengthen the straight pass, signaling the team to speed up the offensive rhythm.

The Australian coaching team also received the news of the goal from the Chinese arena, and the head coach Oxy took a playful look at Cui Kangxi.

The result of the current game has no impact on Australia's qualifying.

The South Korean team is absolutely unacceptable, and increasing their offensive strength is the only way for them to advance directly, so Oxy also sent a signal to the players on the field.

Shrink the defense and execute quick counterattack tactics.

In the Wuhan Sports Center, the home fans were as excited as children. Led by members of the newly established national-level fans club, the Dragon Team fans club, they made continuous and huge cheers.

The fanatical atmosphere of the game continued to be high, so that the visiting Qatari players made continuous mistakes that should not have been made, and the best news for them was that the Chinese forward Gao Lin missed excellent opportunities in a row.

The game lasted until 30 minutes before the Chinese team expanded the score.

Tang Zheng's direct free kick hit the wall and was refracted. Central defender Feng Xiaoting jumped in alertly and completed a follow-up shot before the Qatari defender.

The game reached 2:0, which is unparalleled good news for those Chinese fans present.

A 1:0 score and continuous gains without scoring are a big taboo in football games, so I will breathe a sigh of relief after seeing the second goal.

Leading by two goals at home, the Chinese team no longer launched an indiscriminate attack on Qatar's half, but rationally used the pass to consume game time and physical energy of the visiting team.

Tang Zheng, Wu Sanshi, and Zhang Linpeng play in the European League. After the World Cup qualifiers, it is a rare annual break, but this is not the case for domestic players. They have to continue to compete in the 2013 Super League season. Therefore, on the premise of ensuring victory Reduce energy consumption as much as possible.

During the 15 minutes of the intermission, it is undoubtedly an excellent happy moment for Chinese fans.

With Tang Zheng in the midfield, the initiative of the game is firmly under the feet of the Chinese team. They no longer need to calculate the goal difference as carefully as in the 2006 World Cup in Germany. As long as they win the game, they can advance.

No matter how miserable the South Korean game is, it has nothing to do with the Chinese team.

This kind of free and easy is the first time in the history of Chinese men's football.

In the second half, they changed sides and fought again, using Qatar, who had the kick-off advantage, to try to play a blitzkrieg, but Tang Zheng had already been mentally prepared, and by judging in advance that he would appear in a key position at a critical moment, he blocked a very threatening through ball. underfoot.

Central 5 commentator He Wei said proudly: "Tang Zheng, who is about to turn 24 years old, is getting more and more mature, or...more and more enchanting. Now he no longer needs to make up for it through frequent running like in the early days of Dortmund. Insufficient in himself, the timely interception just now highlighted his extraordinary ability to read the game, Real Madrid's purchase of Tang Zheng with a transfer fee of more than 100 million euros is completely in line with the market law."

In the blink of an eye, ten minutes later, the Chinese team extended the score to three goals by Zhang Linpeng's world wave kick from outside the penalty area.

3:0

The Chinese team is winning.

At this time, in the game in South Korea, the two teams each contributed a goal in the second half, 1:1.

However, the Chinese team leads by a big score, so there is no need to pay attention to the score of the other game. After all, if you win, you can get a place in the World Cup next year.

Seeing that the team they supported took a big lead, the Chinese fans in the stands were very excited, and the deafening cheers were louder and louder.

Under such circumstances, head coach Camacho began to deploy troops, try new combinations and inspect newcomers.

The same is true for the Qatar team as a guest. Through continuous substitution adjustments, they hope to score goals and save face.

But the Chinese team's defense was very good, and Tang Zheng took care of the defense frequently, so there were no major problems.

Until the game came to 80 minutes, Camacho tried a "faint trick".

Why do you say it's a trick?

Because he replaced Zheng Zhi with Qin Sheng and replaced Tang Zheng, and again used the combination of Qin Sheng + Zhao Xuri for the double midfielder.

You must know that the Chinese team fell behind South Korea 0:2 in the away game a week ago because of the lack of defensive awareness of the pair in the midfield, which allowed the South Korean team to find space in the offense and get a chance to score.

Central 5 commentator He Wei said incomprehensibly: "Replacing Zheng Zhi is easy to understand. He is 33 years old this year and his career is coming to an end. But what about Tang Zheng? His importance to the team doesn't need to be overstated." Say! Let him enjoy the cheering and cheering of the fans in advance? If this is the case, I just want to say that it is a bit early!"

When Tang Zheng saw that the number displayed on the substitution electronic board was himself, he looked at the coaching bench in disbelief, and then pointed at himself.

He signaled, are you sure to change me?

The feedback I got was - that's right! It's you!

Reminiscing that the score had become 3:0, Tang Zheng let out a long breath, then walked slowly to the sidelines, and gave Qin Sheng a high-five handover.

"Aww-"

The fans didn't think much about it, now the score is 3:0, and the visiting team Qatar has no morale, under such circumstances it is right for Tang Zheng to take a good rest.

However, what the fans didn't expect was that the situation changed suddenly less than a minute after Tang Zheng came off the field. The combination of Zhao Xuri and Qin Sheng was still in the stage of finding a rhythm, but Qatar made a sudden effort, and then the veteran Sebastian scored to save it. Face goal.

There was not much time left in the game, and the Chinese players on the field didn't care too much, because the score was still 3:1, and Qatar couldn't make any big waves.

The same was true for the fans in the stands, but Tang Zheng, who was sitting in the player's bench, noticed a clue. The visiting team Qatar seemed to have discovered the huge problem exposed by the double midfielder of Qin Sheng and Zhao Xuri's partner!

This Qatar team is indeed young, but they have the fighting spirit of young people, so the more they fight, the more courageous they become.

So, scored a face-saving goal.

The goal scored by Sebastian was the gap opened by Qatar in the middle, and then Qin Sheng and Zhao Xuri's partner did not have a tacit understanding to pass a very penetrating through ball.

Neither Camacho nor the players on the field discovered this, and they thought it was just an accident.

Only Tang Zheng, his ability to read the game on the court is super, and the ability to read the game off the court is also the same.

In the 89th minute of the game, Qatar switched from defense to offense and moved forward very fast. Zhao Xuri, who intercepted in the middle, was not decisive enough, and was forced to accelerate and break through by Al Sayyed.

Qin Sheng's protection for Zhao Xuri was obviously not enough, neither did he go up, nor did he retreat.

Al Sayyed was very smart. He came off the bench in the second half with plenty of energy and chose to accelerate the breakthrough directly from the middle.

After attracting Feng Xiaoting, Al Sayyed used Zhang Linpeng behind to move to the middle, and then decisively split the side.

Ismail made a high-speed breakthrough on the left side of the attack, and then made a cross pass to the center.

Sebastian has rich experience in the game and is very strong. He took the initiative to lean on Feng Xiaoting, who was unwell and strong, and then completed a low shot with his left foot.

Goalkeeper Zeng Cheng responded, but failed to touch the ball.

Suddenly, the score changed from 3:1 to 3:2.

Although the Chinese team sits at home, this score is a great stimulus for Qatar, which has narrowed the score further.

What happened to the early exit?

Can't they beat the Chinese team away and save face?

Sebastian, who scored twice, did not celebrate the goal. He picked up the football from the goal and ran towards the middle circle.

At this time, the fourth official just walked to the sidelines and held up the electronic card for three minutes of stoppage time.

In other words, there are still three minutes left for Qatar to equalize the score!

The central 5 commentator finally broke out, extremely dissatisfied with Camacho's substitution performance: "I really can't understand why Tang Zheng was replaced, can we relax our vigilance at 3:0? This is the World Cup qualifier! It's not a friendly match! With three minutes left in the game, Qatar scored two consecutive goals to boost morale! The score between South Korea and Australia is still 1:1. If Qatar finally equalizes the score, we will be the team to participate in the play-offs!"

New Wolves sports commentator Huang Jianxiang said angrily: "There have always been rumors that Camacho is very dissatisfied with Tang Zheng, but I think Tang Zheng's dissatisfaction is justified! Because you are not good enough! When it is time to attack, defend and defend It’s time to choose to attack! Have you forgotten the game you almost lost to the South Korean team? Who saved you? Remove the spiritual leader before the game is over, is that what was taught in the coaching training courses of your era?”

British Sky commentator Andy Gray was not as excited as He Wei and Huang Jianxiang, but he also expressed doubts about the previous substitution adjustment of the Chinese team: "A player of Tang's level, I believe that any head coach will not replace him. , even if the state is not good, and Tang's state is as good as ever, if the Chinese team finally suffers a tie with Qatar at home..."

Speaking of this, Andy Gray turned his head to look at his partner Martin Taylor, who said bluntly: "Antonio Camacho's level is really bad! As you said, no coach can ignore the existence of Don. Tang was replaced at a critical moment, I really don’t know how he got his coach’s license.”

The frenzied atmosphere in the Wuhan Sports Center dropped significantly as Qatar narrowed the score further. Many fans seemed a little concerned about gains and losses, worried that Qatar, whose morale was boosted, would equalize the score in the next game.

Unless the South Korean team loses at home, the Chinese team can't afford it!

Even a draw can qualify for the play-offs, but compared to qualifying for direct promotion, who would consider the play-offs?

In addition, there are only 5 places in the two groups in the Asian region, which means that if you win the play-offs, you have to participate in the intercontinental play-offs...

Of course, the Chinese team did not draw with Qatar.

It's just that during the three minutes of stoppage time, the Chinese fans in the stands felt extremely tormented.

Qatar, which was only one goal away, rushed to catch up, and even pressed all their players, so that the Chinese team, which was sitting at home, had to retreat to half-court defense.

The passive situation made people extremely worried, but the only thing that satisfied the fans was that the score of 3:2 was finally maintained until the end of the game, which means that the Chinese team won a victory with "hard work".

"Aww-"

When the referee on duty blew the end of the game, there was deafening cheers from Wuhan Sports Center, and the whole stadium was completely boiling at this moment.

The Chinese players on the court are equal to making history, so their excitement is more crazy than the fans in the stands.

From the difficult advancement of the second stage of the qualifiers to the direct qualifying of the third stage, only they can deeply understand the sadness in the middle.

At the same time, the central 5 commentator He Wei said ecstatically: "The game is over! The game is over! The Chinese team finally defeated Qatar 3:2! We are not very satisfied in the second half of the game! But the score is very satisfactory! The result of the victory We will appear in next year's World Cup in Brazil! Fans in front of the TV, let's cheer! Let's get excited! Let us experience the carnival of qualifying for the World Cup after twelve years!"

New Wolves sports commentator Huang Jianxiang seems to have forgotten the previous unhappiness and turned to endless excitement. He is passionate: "Brazil World Cup! We are here again after twelve years!! The world will be grateful for our awakening Shock it!!"

The last time the Chinese team qualified for the World Cup was the Korea-Japan World Cup 12 years ago. At that time, Huang Jiaxiang was still the head commentator of the Central 5.

Twelve years later, things have changed.

But this is not important, what is important is that the Chinese team once again entered the World Cup!

Not long after the match between the Chinese team and Qatar ended, the World Cup qualifiers in South Korea also came to an end, and the score was still fixed at 1:1.

The 2014 Brazil World Cup Asian Group A top ten matches were all over. Australia and China had 15 points, but Australia won a large number of goal difference by virtue of the big score in the last round and beat the Chinese team to rank first in the group.

The South Korean team ranked third with a difference of two points. Unfortunately, they can only participate in the next Asian play-offs.
