The Ball at Your Feet

After beating Lebanon by a big score, the Chinese team encountered some minor problems in the next game. In this match against the UAE, there was a rare continuous moderate rain, which made the game extremely difficult.

And this game also highlighted the technical difference between Zhao Yaning and others to the greatest extent.

On the entire court, the two teams add up, and he alone can control the ball well and perform various actions.

At other times, because Zhao Yaning's speed advantage is too obvious, in the national team game, he can easily pass the ball with almost no action, so even some fans think that his level is not much higher than others. Go, only rely on good physical fitness to be able to kick out. But in this game, everyone was convinced.

In the game, first Zhao Yaning's long shot, and then a free kick assist Li Datou scored, the Chinese team determined to give the lead in the first half. And to the second half. Sun Jihe's break through the penalty area was released, which also allowed the Chinese team to expand the score again. Although the UAE still launched a counterattack in the final stage, this wave of counterattack did not turn the tide of the battle.

3-1, the Chinese team won the second game of the friendly match.

After this game, the Chinese team also ushered in the group stage of the Asian Cup.

According to the grouping, the grouping of the Chinese team is still good. The Chinese team consists of four teams: China, Qatar, Bahrain, and Indonesia. In terms of pure strength, the Chinese team can be regarded as the first in the group, and qualifying should not be a problem.

And because this Asian Cup is a game held in China, the Chinese team also got a task: this Asian Cup, the Chinese team's match against Bahrain, is the opening match.

On the day of the game, FIFA Blatter and AFC President Haman spoke continuously. After more than half an hour of unintelligible nonsense, the game began.

The formation of the Chinese team has been adjusted to 442. The forward line is Hao Dapao and Daewoo, the midfielder is Zhao Yaning, Zhou Haibo, Zhao Junzhe and veteran Li Ming, and the back line is Sun Jihe, Zheng Zhi, Li Datou and Wei. Xin.

"Everyone is playing well, in the first game, don't lose the face of the Chinese." Zhao Yaning did not forget to exhort him before the game. After all, he is now the captain of the Chinese national team, and he still wears an armband in this game. Naturally, he should say a few words. It's just that he didn't know what to say, he just ordered a few words not to be ashamed, and it was over.

After the game started, the Chinese team quickly controlled the situation. After all, the Chinese team's midfielder at this time still has a great advantage over Bahrain, and it is not a problem to play with them.

What's more, this stadium is the Beijing Workers Stadium, which is known as the home of the devil... a place that Maradona can't win even when he comes. Although the referee is from the AFC, the fans are Chinese, and the Chinese team is cheering around, giving the Chinese players a clear home court advantage.

Throughout the first half of the game, the game has been very dull-after such a long period of nonsense, it is strange to be energetic. The Chinese team is looking for a rhythm, and Zhao Yaning's performance is not as good as in the past-in this game, he closed the patriotic card. After all, there are too many Asian Cup + Olympic games. If it is always open, then return to the club , Basically just rushed to rest for a season.

And without the effect support of this card, Zhao Yaning felt that the playing still had some changes. But fortunately, his own strength is already very high, even without cards, he can still play well. And this game, in his adaptation, soon became a game for the Chinese team to control the situation.

In the seventh minute, Zhao Yaning began to try a long shot, but unfortunately, the ball was not able to be hit. In the twelve minutes, Zhao Yaning's long pass was capped by Hao Dapao who was vying for the header, failing to score a goal. After 20 minutes of the game, Zhao Yaning gradually adapted, and the national team began to take the initiative in the game, but Bahrain's counterattack was still very threatening, and the national team did not dare to overpress. In the 22nd minute, Hao Dapao received Zhou Haibo's straight pass and was blocked with a low shot with his left foot 12 meters to the left of the penalty area. The continuous wasted opportunities also allowed the Chinese team to begin to play steadily. Although the fans on the sidelines cheered for the national team loudly, but Zhao Yaning deliberately controlled the rhythm. In the 27th minute, Zhao Junzhe uprooted Mahmoud Jalal from behind and got his first yellow card in this Asian Cup.

In the 41st minute, after Zhao Yaning’s long shot was saved, a corner kick was formed, but Zhao Yaning’s corner kick did not pose a threat. Instead, Bahrain launched a quick counterattack. Mohammed Huber was 20 meters outside the penalty area. With a shot from the back of his right foot, Liu Yunfei, who was standing in front of him, jumped up. Although he touched the ball, the ball still rolled into the goal.

But at this time, a sharp whistle sounded.

The linesman raised the **** and signaled that the goal was invalid for offside.

"Let's take a look at the replay. The slow motion shows that when Mohammed Huber took a shot, he was indeed suspected of being offside. The referee should have blown the goal off."

The commentator said so, and he felt happy about the result. After all, it was the first goal in the competition, and the foreigners' scores were not as happy as the Chinese scored.

The game ended the first half with a 0-0 draw. After the second half, Zhao Yaning deliberately accelerated the rhythm. The pace of the game was quickened, and it was a great help to the Chinese team. In the 46th minute, Li Ming made a pass and Hao Dapao leaned back and headed the ball, but it was a pity that it was higher than the crossbar.

And just two minutes later, the Chinese team ushered in another opportunity.

After Zhao Junzhe got the arc at the top of the penalty area, Zhao Yaning inserted into the penalty area from the left. Zhao Junzhe made a very accurate pass and was snatched by Zhao Yaning who rushed into the penalty area. After Zhao Yaning stopped the ball easily in the chest, he twisted, raised his foot, and shot!

"Goal scored! Zhao Yaning opened the scoring for the Chinese team!"

Zhao Yaning ran towards the stands, and all his teammates followed. At this time, the narrator watched the slow-motion playback and couldn't help being surprised, "This ball is not a rare shot, but Zhao Yaning's action to stop the ball. This ball stopped really well, after the sudden stop in the rapid running, the chest Stop the ball and stop directly out of the space for your own kick. This stop-ball action is really precious. When Zhao Yaning was playing in Europe some time ago, some people accused him of poor shooting skills, but now it looks like this Few forwards in the country can match their skills."

Zhao Yaning's shot just now was actually a standard striker action. Half-turned after stopping the ball in the chest, before the ball hits the ground, it is a shot. This kind of kick is definitely a standard center forward action. When Zhao Yaning played football, he didn’t learn anything less. Monaco had played Weah, Trezeguet, and Henry. They were not lacking in shooting skills at all, but the problem is, when playing in Europe. , Fast pace, strong confrontation, Zhao Yaning's own movements are not proficient enough, and many of them are difficult to play. But in China, the pace of the Asian competition is much slower and the confrontation is much weaker. He can naturally shoot like a forward.

In the following time, the Chinese team better controlled the situation on the field. Although Zhou Haibo's shot was blocked by Dosari of the Bahrain team, Dosari was also injured for this, and this made the morale of the Chinese team a big victory and continued to pursue it.

Soon, when Zhao Yaning broke through on the left, he changed the direction of the ball and dropped the opponent's defender Adnan to the ground. Adnan actually took the ball directly into his arms!

This action also caused the referee to blow his whistle.

Penalty kick-handball in the penalty area, naturally there is no second possibility.

Zhao Yaning gave the penalty to Zheng Zhi-he still hadn't gotten back from the penalty kick, so he didn't want to be embarrassed.

Zheng Zhi stepped back two steps and shot from the middle. The goalkeeper Said was swayed by him. Zheng Zhi scored the goal. But just as Zheng Zhi celebrated, the referee also blew his whistle: someone entered the penalty area early, and the penalty was heavy.

"Why, all the **** are scored..."

Zhou Haibo's anger was stopped by Zhao Yaning's wave, "Don't worry, listen to what the referee says, don't worry with the referee."

Since the Sleeping Beauty card is used, it means that there will be no black whistle. But there will be no black whistle, but it does not mean that there will be no misjudgments. After all, the level of the referee and the scale of the penalty are also a problem. Different referees can judge different matches. Although sometimes it will not make people happy, but this It is also part of the game.

Football stars always say that they understand the art of penalties, and that's how it is. The scale of the referee is directly related to how to play, which is a very important issue.

Zheng Zhi once again stood on the penalty spot, and this time, he chose a push shot, pushed the middle of the goal, and successfully scored again.

This time the whistle did not ring again.

"Good job." Zhao Yaning patted Zheng Zhi on the shoulder and congratulated.

Indeed, dare to hit the middle twice in a row, this courage is not small.

At this time, Li Yi was also replaced, replacing the exhausted Hao Dapao. This made Zhao Yaning a little sigh: Hao Dapao's ability is, after all, the only one among Chinese forwards. But his stamina problem is really too big. Now, he basically has half-time stamina~www.ltnovel.com~ and automatically occupy a substitution place when he comes on the court. Such a level is helpless.

But the sigh is the sigh, the game is the game. Immediately, Zhao Yaning made a straight pass to Sun Jihe, who jumped in. Sun Jihe kicked the ball to Daewoo. Daewoo didn't stop the ball and shot directly with one kick, sending the ball into the net again!

A score of 3-0 is enough to relax. In the next game, Shao Jiayi replaced Zhou Haibo, and the game entered the final stage.

It was a perfect match. If it weren't for the final stage of the match, Li Yi had a dive in the penalty area...

I don’t know what Li Yi is crazy about. After seeing himself on the court, it has always been difficult to make a difference in the game, so he also started to make some smart attempts: he used a standard diving action to test The referee's eyesight.

The referee directly gave him a yellow card.

"Don't do this kind of thing in the future." Zhao Yaning was a little funny, this kid actually started to do this kind of work, "Playing football seriously, don't play evil."

Li Yi lowered his head and smirked twice, not daring to refute. And Zhao Yaning didn't have much to say. The referee he used to punish the fairness card, regardless of the penalty scale, flops must be taken. If he used this card and all his own forwards were thrown out with a red card, that would be a shame. If you want to ask me a few words, these guys, maybe they can really do it. Just like Li Yi, who would want a guy like this to play diving?

But it's good if the game is won. Since he won, Zhao Yaning won't embarrass him any more, at least he is willing to win, that's it.

After the game, another good news came: Indonesia drew with Qatar, and both teams only had one point.

The Chinese team ranks first in the group.
