Restricted Superstar

Gao Xiaodong "observed" the distance to the chasing soldiers behind him as he ran, to see if the distance was appropriate, Gao Xiaodong suddenly swung the ball inward and crossed towards the middle of the court.

The following Iraqi players ran too fast. Wherever they stopped the car, one player suddenly stopped and fell, and the other three rushed forward two or three meters before stopping.

With this crosscut, Gao Xiaodong still maintains a distance from the defensive player, but the angle of his shot has increased.

Already within Gao Xiaodong's range, Iraqi goalkeeper Khahid felt a chill. He stared at Gao Xiaodong's feet and was ready to save.

Gao Xiaodong adjusted his stepping point. Kashid felt that Gao Xiaodong was about to shoot and was almost about to rush out, but Gao Xiaodong did not shoot, took another step, and then kicked and exploded into the upper left corner of the goal.

Gao Xiaodong's shot is very small, it is the rapid force of the calf, but Gao Xiaodong's strength is strong, this ball is comparable to an ordinary player's full-stroke.

Kashid was beaten by a time lag. He felt that Gao Xiaodong did not shoot when it was time for Gao Xiaodong to shoot. When he relaxed, Gao Xiaodong shot.

Kashid hurriedly flew to save, but he was still a step slower, the ball flew past his hand and went straight to the dead corner of the goal.

2:0

Gao Xiaodong once again used a long shot to expand the score for the Chinese team.

After being scored twice with a long shot by his opponent, Khahid repeatedly beat the ground with his hands annoyed.

Gao Xiaodong was also excited. He raised his hands and roared up to the sky domineeringly.

This is almost a goal to seal the victory! The Hua Guo team fans at the scene were extremely excited. They raised their arms to cheer Gao Xiaodong with the rhythm of Gao Xiaodong.

Camacho was more excited than everyone else. He clenched his fists and rushed to the sidelines, unceasingly shouting "High and high...".

It's no wonder that Camacho is so excited. He coaches the Hua Guo team on a sky-high contract, and there is a return of superstars like Gao Xiaodong. If he can't even qualify for the top 20 group stage, it would be too embarrassing.

Camacho has always been under a lot of pressure, and now, Gao Xiaodong's ball has almost sealed the victory, and Camacho's pressure has been completely released.

Camacho has no pressure, but the pressure from Iraq coach Zico is coming.

Zico is more famous, and the Iraqi strength he took over is also the strongest in Group A. From the perspective of Zico and the Iraqis, there is no suspense in the top 20 group. The Chinese team and Jordan are only competing for second in the group. .

However, the outstanding performance of the Jordan team made a chaotic situation in group A. If Iraq loses this game, Iraq is likely to fight for a qualifying spot with Jordan. This is very passive and Zico cannot accept it. He still wants to. Get the initiative to qualify in this game.

Although the first half of the game was about to pass, Zico still called a few players on the side of the court to strengthen their offense and try to get one back.

Camacho was so excited that he could only give a high-five and hug the assistant's substitute player, forgetting to arrange the last minutes of defense, but Gao Xiaodong has rich experience in the competition. When attacking in Iraq, he retreated to defend and won the ball in the Chinese team At the time, Gao Xiaodong controlled the ball to master the rhythm, and never let Iraq's offensive start. In the last three minutes, Iraq could not make it, and could only accept the situation of two goals behind.

During the intermission, Camacho happily embraced every starter at the door of the locker room, praised their performance in the first half, and praised Gao Xiaodong's performance even more.

When arranging the second half tactics, Camacho emphasized the defensive counterattack, and Gao Xiaodong's position was also transferred to the midfielder.

The players have no objection to this arrangement, leading by two goals, defensive counterattack is no doubt, but the Chinese coach Fu Bo did not agree to put Gao Xiaodong in the midfielder.

Fu Bo is very familiar with the capabilities of the Chinese players. He told Camacho that the Chinese team's offense is completely supported by Gao Xiaodong. If Gao Xiaodong is placed in the midfield, the Chinese team may only be defensive and not counterattack.

Camacho has always believed that the Chinese Football Association inserted Fu Boan into the coaching staff to restrain him. He had long wanted to expel Fu Bo, but he didn't succeed. How could he follow Fu Bo's advice.

After listening to Fu Bo's suggestion, Camacho didn't say a word, as if he didn't hear it, making Fu Bo very embarrassed.

The intermission time passed quickly, the game started again, and Iraq kicked off.

During the intermission, Iraq changed a player, and Kareem was replaced, and a stronger attacking midfielder Samir came up.

Two goals behind, Iraq never retreated, they pressed heavily from the first minute and attacked with all strength.

Although Iraq's offensive is fierce, the Chinese team's defense is even better.

Gao Xiaodong retreated. His defensive coverage and accurate card positions almost resolved most of the offensive in the center. The central defender of the Chinese team was under very little pressure, and it seemed easy for the two to defend Younis alone.

However, as Fu Bo said, the Hua Guo team's defense is good, but the counterattack can't come out.

Gao Xiaodong can organize the attack in the backcourt, and can also pass the ball to the feet of forwards and midfielders, but without Gao Xiaodong attracting defensive forces, the Hua Guo team can't hold the ball in the frontcourt, and can't play with the ball. Often miss the ball without passing two feet.

In the 50th minute of the game, Gao Xiaodong passed behind the defender with a long pass. Yang Xu succeeded in offside, but he stopped the ball and was destroyed by goalkeeper Kahid.

In the 57th minute of the game, Gao Xiaodong stole the ball to Sun Xiang on the side. Sun Xiang made a high-speed pass. Although Yang Xu in the middle was marked, he could also hit the goal, but he missed the ball and wanted to leak it to the back. Qu Bo plugged in, but Qu Bo thought that Yang Xu was going to shoot, but instead of keeping up, the ball went directly out of the sideline.

These two opportunities were replaced by Gao Xiaodong with two goals, but his teammates did not even get a shot, stomping Gao Xiaodong with anger.

Camacho on the sidelines also saw angrily and kept yelling from the sidelines.

The on-site commentator He Hui sighed again and again: "This offense is too hot! Can't be seen! Our national team looks like we need at least two Xiaodongs, one offensive and one defensive."

After these two attacks, Gao Xiaodong also understood how wise Fu Bo's suggestion was. He should not have too high expectations for this group of pig teammates, and he still had to act in person to deal with the strong team.

After Gao Xiaodong took the ball, he reduced the number of forward passes, and more often made a breakthrough with the ball, attracting the defense, and opening up space for the teammates in the frontcourt to pass the ball.

During the intermission, Zico was clearly prepared to defend Gao Xiaodong, but Gao Xiaodong's return to play the midfielder made his arrangement ineffective.

Gao Xiaodong attacked with the ball himself. The attacking distance was too long and the goal was too far. Iraq immediately used foul tactics to deal with Gao Xiaodong. He would rather give the Chinese team a free kick than let Gao Xiaodong enter the 30-meter defensive area.

Iraq fell behind by two goals, and the Australian referee also clearly had a bias towards the home team. Many Iraqs pretended not to see Gao Xiaodong's pulling him, and the yellow card action was just blowing a free kick.

Iraq’s foul tactics have been effective. The Chinese team was unable to fight back and was bombarded by Iraq at halftime. The danger in front of the goal was dangerous and there was a possibility of losing the ball at any time.
