Chinese champion

Chapter 214 Veteran
The ancients said: "An old man in a family is like a treasure." This ancient man...

The same is true on the football field. In addition to the vigorous young players and the young and energetic Mesozoic, a mature team must also have experienced veterans. Fighting like that, but they have extensive knowledge, deep experience, calmness, and often famous coaches are good at making veterans play a greater role.

In the 8th minute of the game, Hao Dong, a 33-year-old veteran of the Chinese team, used a beautiful assist to help Pei Wei open the scoring. In such a semi-final, it is undoubtedly a very good result to take the lead so early.

This goal also ignited the passion of the fans at the scene. They excitedly set off a wave of people in the stands, including those sitting on the rostrum. Like the fans, they shouted excitedly.

The Iranian team started to attack, while the Chinese team stepped up their counterattack while maintaining a solid defense. The two sides came and went, and wonderful shots continued to appear.

Sun Ru has already been broken through by Madavikia twice. His cross has caused a great threat to the Chinese team's goal, but Sun Ru has done a good job and has not given the opponent a chance to cut inside. You know, Madavikia Ya's biggest threat is not his passing, but his powerful long-range shot after cutting inside. The Chinese team opened the city twice with his long-range shot in 97.

Compared with Madavikia's activeness, the other two offensive points of the Iranian team, Dei and Karimi, looked a bit pale. Hu Yong's fierce close-pressing made Karimi, who was about to transfer to Bayern Munich, almost even hit the ball. They couldn't get any of them, and Dayi couldn't get a few points under Du Wei's defense.

Madavikia made another pass after breaking through from the right, Dai jumped high, but the ball was intercepted by Du Wei, who was defending around the front, and then made a beautiful long pass. , Unfortunately, the ball is slightly higher than the crossbar.

Hao Dong's speed caused a lot of trouble for the Iranian team's defense. Gormohamed, who was in the same year as him, was not his opponent at all in terms of speed.

The Iranian team passed the ball to Madavikia's feet again, and Sun Ru bit the bullet to meet him. Madavikia was faster and physically better than him. Since the start of the game, he has been at a disadvantage.

Madavikia slowly moved forward with the ball, while Sun Ru bent down, staring at the ball at Madavikia's feet without blinking.

Shaoyi chased up from behind, because the right back of the Iranian team did not dare to come up to assist under Hao Dong's restraint, Shaoyi was able to flank the opponent with Sun Ru without any scruples.

He was getting closer and closer to Madavikia, and Madavikia didn't seem to notice his attack at all, and was still carrying the ball leisurely.

"Catch up!" Shaoyi was overjoyed, and stretched out his foot to poke the ball from behind. Just as he was about to poke the ball, his eyes suddenly blurred. Madavikia suddenly pulled the ball horizontally at this moment, and he couldn't react in time. Shaoyi made an empty kick and collided with Sun Ru who was going up at the same time!
For the first time since the start of the game, Madavikia, who was unmarked, was under less pressure, but instead of continuing to break through, he swung his right foot on the spot and shot from a long distance!
This was a very powerful long-range shot of about 27 meters. Although Wu Qi responded quickly, but because the ball was too fast, he didn't dare to catch it directly with his hands, so he had to hit the ball with both fists.

Dai Yi keenly appeared at the landing point, and Du Wei followed him closely.

Dai's judgment on the landing point is very accurate. Du Wei has already been thrown half a body away by him, but Du Wei is still sure to use his personal defense to prevent Dai from shooting directly!

At this moment, Li Wei, who was playing the sweeper, rushed up suddenly, ready to intercept the ball from the front. His reckless attack was caught by the old-fashioned Dai Yi. Taking advantage of his height, Dai Yi used the ball to the left. He swung his head and was knocked to the ground by Li Wei who lost his balance.

Allawi, another midfielder of the Iranian team, rushed into the penalty area. Due to Li Wei's attack, the penalty area of ​​the Chinese team was now empty. He did not stop the ball and shot directly. Net, 1:1!

"Damn it! How did he shoot the goal so easily!" He Jin cursed on the sidelines. It was precisely because of Li Wei's reckless attack that Dai Yi seized the opportunity to pass the ball and lost the Chinese team's penalty area protected by him as a scavenger. It was as weak as a blank sheet of paper, so that no one defended when Allawi shot.

No matter how quick Wu Qi's reaction was, he was a man and not a god after all. How could he prevent this shot that was less than five meters away from the goal when he just stood up and his center of gravity was unstable!
No. In the 201st minute, the Iranian team also relied on veteran Daei's assists and Alavi equalized the score!The two sides returned to the same starting line.

************************************************** ****
"The two old guys are both fairy-level characters. It's not easy to be the core of the team's forward line at such an age." Xiao Jun, who was watching the game from the sidelines, couldn't help but sigh.

Hao Dong, born in 1971, is 33 years old now, and Ali Dayi, born in 1969, is 35 years old now.

Among the first-class strikers in Asia in the early 90s, both of them were absolutely at the top of the list. The two were completely different types of forwards. Hao Dong was characterized by fast speed, strong explosive power, strong ability to dribble and score, and Day has an obvious advantage in height and can handle the ball.

Today in the 21st century, other outstanding Asian strikers with the same name as them, such as South Korea's Hwang Sun-hong, Japan's Nakayama Masashi, and Saudi Arabia's Jabel, have all retired one after another, and they are the only ones left to fight on the green field Two, the name "Old Fairy" lives up to its name.And this Asian Cup is probably the last chance for the two of them to win honors.

For this honor, the two veterans will definitely give full play to their energy on the court.

"Let's attack!" Hao Donggao yelled. Although he is not the captain, he is the oldest player on the field and undoubtedly has higher prestige than Li Wei. The reason why he has never been the captain of the Chinese team is also in line with the tradition of the Chinese national team. Regarding, the captains of each Chinese team are players on the defensive line. To be precise, those who can be captains are all central defenders in the team.

From this point of view, the conservativeness of the Chinese national team is really extraordinary.

Pei Wei and Shaoyi made a crossover and ran to the left. The two midfielders of the Iranian team were stunned. They didn't know what to do. Should they continue to stare at Pei Wei or stay where they were? Withdrew back to help them solve this problem.

Hu Yong found an opportunity to send the ball to Pei Wei's feet. Pei Wei dribbled the ball to the middle, and Madavikia was also attracted to the middle without knowing it.

"Oops! How did this happen? The three midfielders are all concentrated in the middle. Isn't the right side undefended?" Ivankovic felt a little bit in his heart. Sure enough, Shaoyi ran to the center again without the attention of others. Left, and Pei Wei's pass also flew over at the same time.

The unguarded Shaoyi and the assisting Sun Ru played a two-to-one cooperation and easily passed the Iranian team's right back. Shaoyi who inserted into the penalty area did not pass the ball, but directly kicked it. The goalkeeper of the Iranian team played a role at this time. A beautiful side throw saved the ball to the bottom line, and the Iranian team escaped unharmed.

"Oh my god!" Shaoyi covered his face, he didn't expect that he missed the shot that was bound to be scored, Mirzapur's save can be said to be world-class!

"It's okay, keep attacking! Sooner or later we will smash their goal into a sieve!" Pei Wei ran over to comfort him.

"Okay! I'll take the corner kick!" Shaoyi said through gritted teeth.

Shaoyi's corner kick caused chaos in the penalty area of ​​the Iranian team. Rezai kicked the ball out of the sideline first, but the referee's whistle sounded.

Only then did the confused Chinese players realize that veteran Hao Dong had fallen in the penalty area. In the chaos just now, he was crushed by Iranian goalkeeper Mirzapur. The 1.9-meter-two Mirzapur crushed the veteran enough. .

A stretcher rushed into the arena and carried Hao Dong down.

The game on the field was still the same, but He Jin and Feng Yu lost the mood to continue watching. Hao Dong was the backbone of the Chinese team's forward line. Without him, the threat of the Chinese team's forward line was obviously reduced by half.

Hao Dong's head was covered with sweat, and the old disease in his waist relapsed under the pressure. After the examination, the team doctor shook his head regretfully at Feng Yu.

Feng Yu's heart sank. If Hao Dong leaves the field, it will be a big problem for him to replace him. However, this is the second time Hao Dong has been injured after the start of the Asian Cup. It is obviously a disservice to the player himself to let him continue to play. responsibility.

"Let me go, give me an injection to seal it off." Hao Dong gritted his teeth and said.

"Are you kidding! Don't you want your old life?" Feng Yu, who has worked in Dalian for nearly 20 years, is very familiar with Hao Dong. They are still good friends in private, but at this time he doesn't treat Hao Dong at all. polite.

"Even if I'm only allowed to play for 10 minutes, it will give you time to fully adjust your tactics..." Hao Dong said with sweat profusely: "My own body knows it well, it's not like I haven't played like this before, I'm used to it."

"That was in the past!" Feng Yu exclaimed, "Slightly injured can't leave the line of fire" has always been the tradition of the Chinese football team, but it is precisely because of this tradition that many outstanding Chinese players are forced to retire at their prime of life, Feng Yu Yu and He Jin have always been opposed to this: "We have to learn from the European practice, the player's body is the first!"

"Let me go." Hao Dong sighed: "I was suspended for one year after the match against them in the 2000 Asian Games... I don't want to lose this opportunity for revenge, at least let me watch the lead and then go on. end!"

Feng Yu has nothing to say. In the semi-finals of the 2000 Asian Games, when the Chinese team lost to the Iranian team, Hao Dong’s mouthful of phlegm made him pay a heavy price. Chinese football paid a heavy price for not being able to play for a year. A lot, although 4 years have passed, but Hao Dong's request made Feng Yu unable to refuse.

"Let him go." He Jin's voice came from the side: "But if you can't hold on, I will replace you without hesitation, no matter what the situation on the field is, because the final still needs your strength."

"Thank you!" Hao Dong excitedly said to the team doctor, "Quickly block me!"

"How could you do this!" Feng Yu said angrily, "You are extremely irresponsible to Hao Dong's body!"

"I don't want to do this either..." He Jin said helplessly, "But do you think we have room to refuse?"

"..." Feng Yu froze on the spot.

"Come on, let's think about who to replace."

Hao Dong, who played with an injury, aroused warm applause from the fans. At the same time, when Hao Dong was standing near the sideline and ready to play, the Chinese team members on the field also became excited.

Pei Wei passed the ball on the heel behind the crossbar in the middle, and Hu Yong made a strong long shot. Mirzapur didn't even have time to react, and the ball flew out of the baseline against the crossbar.

"I wanted to greet you with a goal." Hu Yong said regretfully to Hao Dong who had just played.

"It's okay." Hao Dong patted the back of the former Dalian Junior Team member: "Just get one next time."

"Hao Dong, great job!" A loud roar came from the stands, and all the other fans shouted in unison.

Hu Yong stuffed the ball directly at the foot of Hao Dong in front of the penalty area in the midfield. Hao Dong leaned against Germo Hammadi and suddenly turned around and hit the goal. The ball was blocked by the post and went out of the baseline.

"Is this guy really not injured?" Germohammadi thought, breaking out in a cold sweat. The force from Hao Dong's body knocked him away just now, and he didn't even have time to resist.

The Iranian team's goal kick was started by Hu Yong in advance near the center circle. After receiving the ball, Pei Wei didn't even look at the defensive midfielder of the Iranian team in front of him. He directly swung his foot and passed it to the right. Pad the ball and pass the ball into the penalty area.

Hao Dong got rid of Germo Hammadi's defense through constant pulling, and jumped high in front of the goal, ready to shake his head and attack the goal!
"Go in!" The fans on the scene shouted loudly. At this distance, as long as Hao Dong can reach within the range of the goal frame, a goal is inevitable!

At this time, a figure suddenly rushed over from Xieci, and knocked Hao Dong to the ground fiercely in the air!
"Flute——" the referee blew a sharp whistle, and he rushed over, pointing to the penalty spot, and at the same time showed a yellow card to the offender, Iran's left back Zare!
