God of Greenery

As Sun Jihai made a breakthrough from the side, Jiang Xiaolin naturally followed up in the middle and rushed into Qatar's restricted area.

At the same time, midfielder Huang Bowen also entered Qatar's penalty area with Jiang Xiaolin not far from Jiang Xiaolin, preparing to compete for a header. Midfielders Du Zhenyu and Hao Junmin also appeared near the penalty area, preparing to compete for the second point.

Therefore, when Sun Jihai broke through the bottom line with the ball, there were two players from the Huaguo team, Jiang Xiaolin and Huang Bowen, in Qatar's penalty area.

However, Qatar also has a full 5 defenders in the penalty area.

There are three next to Jiang Xiaolin, one next to Huang Bo's tattoo, and another one who is ready to intercept Sun Jihai's cross.

If Sun Jihai passes the ball a little lower, the defender at the front point can directly intercept the ball and clear the siege.

Seeing that Jiang Xiaolin and Huang Bowen were already in position in the penalty area, Sun Jihai was ready to pass the ball to Jiang Xiaolin's position in the middle.

Naturally, his inner hope is to pass the ball accurately, and Jiang Xiaolin will grab the first header to attack the goal, so it is very likely to score.

However, Sun Jihai does not have the footwork like Beckham. He can only do his best to pass the ball to the penalty area. As for the landing point, he cannot precisely control it.

What's more, the weather in this game is so hot, and the distance he ran with the assist this time is also very long. It is not bad if he is not exhausted. How about precise control of the landing point?
As a result, naturally, he didn't pass the ball well, the force was a bit too strong, and the ball flew high across the middle and flew towards the back of the goal penalty area.

However, in such hot weather, Sun Jihai, who was sweating profusely, could pass the ball into the penalty area without kicking the bottom line, which is already considered good.

The moment he kicked the ball out, Sun Jihai instantly felt that he had passed the ball too far, and that he might have wasted a chance to attack from the side.

Unexpectedly, just as he kicked the ball out, he saw Jiang Xiaolin, who was originally in the middle, suddenly retreated, then made a sudden stop and changed direction to throw off the defender who was closely marking him, and ran back.

Even after training with Jiang Xiaolin for a few days and playing a friendly match, Sun Jihai did not expect Jiang Xiaolin to be so keen in judging the flight path and landing point of the ball.

As a teammate, Sun Jihai didn't expect it, and the Qatari defender didn't even expect it.

For Jiang Xiaolin's sudden retreat and change of direction, the Qatari defender who was closely guarding him was completely unprepared and was thrown away by Jiang Xiaolin.

Although his physical fitness has declined a bit due to the high temperature, Jiang Xiaolin's vision has not decreased.

His ability to run off the ball and grab points at full value allowed him to intuitively estimate the flight path and landing point of the ball the moment the ball flew into the air after Sun Jihai passed the ball, so he suddenly retreated and changed direction Run away from the opponent's defender marking him, and run to the point where the ball landed behind the penalty area.

Of course, the back of Qatar's penalty area was not empty. A Qatari full-back rushed towards the spot where the ball landed with Jiang Xiaolin, and the two of them reached the spot almost at the same time.

But Jiang Xiaolin's physical fitness, jumping, and pitching ability are not comparable to that of the Qatari defender.

The two ran to the landing point at the same time and took off at the same time, but Jiang Xiaolin jumped much higher than the other party, and pushed the other party's body away a little bit, making it impossible for Jiang Xiaolin to interfere even if he wanted to.

Jiang Xiaolin leaped high at the corner of the small penalty area at the back of the big penalty area, facing Sun Jihai's wide pass, and hit the goal with a powerful header, heading towards Qatar's goal.

Although Qatar's goalkeeper Mohammed saw Jiang Xiaolin's running position, he ran back in time to make a save, but Jiang Xiaolin's header was powerful enough and the angle was too tricky.

The ball flew into the goal from the intersection of the crossbar and the post. Mohamed was powerless and could only watch the football hit the net in the end.

Then, the Qatari fans in the entire Doha stadium fell silent, while thousands of fans of the Chinese team who were away from the expedition were excitedly jumping and jumping in a corner of the stands, cheering and screaming excitedly in celebration.

The commentator of Huaguo National TV Sports Channel in the commentary seat also shouted excitedly:
"The ball is in! The ball is in!"

"Jiang Xiaolin scored a goal!"

"Jiang Xiaolin broke the deadlock with a header and gave Hua Guo a 1-0 away lead."

"This attack was initiated by full-back Sun Jihai. Sun Jihai, who plays for Manchester City in the Premier League, showed the offensive ability of a defender with a knife in this attack."

"Sun Jihai's assist disrupted Qatar's defensive formation, which is the key factor for this attack to be effective."

"Jiang Xiaolin scored his first goal in an official match for the Hua Guo adult national football team."

"This may be the beginning of a legend in Huaguo football!"

"The Huaguo team, which scored the first goal and took a 1-0 lead, may bring back three points from the hot away game."

"Under such weather, it would be really rare to be able to return home with three points."

Indeed, the Huaguo fans in front of the TV could see the foreign football players sweating profusely on the field, and there was an introduction from the commentator. Everyone knew how difficult the Huaguo team played in this away game.

With the development of the game situation, both sides have been unable to score for a long time. Originally, everyone thought not to lose in the away game, and it would be good to go home with 1 point of the tie.

Unexpectedly, as the first half was drawing to a close, there was still a surprise for everyone.

Seeing that Jiang Xiaolin, who was highly expected by everyone, finally broke the deadlock for the Hua Guo team before the end of the first half and scored a goal, giving the Hua Guo team a 1-0 lead in the away game. Fans who watched the live broadcast of the game from all over the country They all happily cheered and celebrated.

Some people posted directly on the post bar and blog to celebrate the Hua Guo team's first goal and away lead.

On the court, Jiang Xiaolin also rushed towards Sun Jihai on the wing, and celebrated the goal with Sun Jihai who had performed an assist.

This match was really difficult, Jiang Xiaolin had to thank Sun Jihai for his sudden assist.

Sun Jihai was also very excited.

The weather is around 35 degrees, and the high-intensity World Cup qualifiers. Needless to say, the hard work of this game is too difficult.

As a result, not only did they complete the defensive task, but Sun Jihai himself also assisted Jiang Xiaolin to score the first goal of the Chinese team through a sudden assist.

Gaining an assist in the away game is indeed too rare for a full-back who focuses on defense.

Therefore, Sun Jihai had reason to be happy, and he also had reason to celebrate with Jiang Xiaolin.

The same goes for the other teammates. Seeing this goal, everyone felt that all the sweat in the first half was worth it. They all surrounded Jiang Xiaolin and Sun Jihai and celebrated fiercely.

In contrast, the fans, players, coaches, etc. of the Qatar team seemed a little frustrated and listless.

You know, this is their home court. It stands to reason that they should be more adapted to the weather here than Hua Guo players. They should take the lead at home and even win.

In the end, it was unexpected that the Huaguo team in the away game was the first to score the goal, and the goal was Jiang Xiaolin, who they were guarding against.

Even with strict guards, Jiang Xiaolin still couldn't stop Jiang Xiaolin's goal.

It seems that Jiang Xiaolin is really not something that ordinary people can guard against. He can only use the team as a whole to strictly mark him.

Jiang Xiaolin and others celebrated for more than half a minute, and then returned to their own half to wait for Qatar to kick off.

After the game restarted, Qatar's marking of Jiang Xiaolin became tighter.

Of course, they did not give up their offense. After all, they are behind now. If they end this round with a score of 0:1, their chances of advancing to the top 10 will be much slimmer.

Therefore, after the game restarted, except for the backcourt players marking Jiang Xiaolin, the forwards and midfielders stepped up their offensive efforts, trying to take advantage of the few minutes before the end of the first half to score another goal and equalize the score. .

However, the Huaguo team, which scored goals and greatly increased confidence, did not give Qatar any chance.

Although Qatar stepped up its offensive efforts, the Huaguo team with double defensive midfielders and the help of front and rear players intercepted Qatar's offense well outside the penalty area, making it unable to pose a threat to the goal.

After 2 minutes of stoppage time, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half. The two sides entered the intermission with a score of 0:1.

Of course, even the leading Hua Guo players did not celebrate much.

On the one hand, it was only the end of the first half, not the end of the whole game, and a one-goal lead was not worth celebrating. On the other hand, it was because everyone was dying of thirst and it was also very hot.

Therefore, there was no celebration for everyone, and they hurried off to drink water to replenish water.

Moreover, in order to cool down, the Huaguo team logistics also brought a batch of ice vests from China to Qatar, just to cool everyone during the intermission during the game.

It was ice-cold and the vest was worn on the back of the body, and there was a burst of coolness, which slightly lowered the fiery body temperature.

After a 15-minute break, the two sides changed sides and fought again.

After the start of the second half of the game, the Qatar team, which was one goal behind, repeated its old tricks, trying to use the opening stage to make a surprise attack and score a goal.

But the Huaguo team was very vigilant and did not give the opponent a chance to sneak attack. They firmly defended their penalty area and did not allow Qatar to attack, nor did they allow Qatar to score.

Even if there is an occasional shot, it is a long-range shot outside the penalty area that is not very threatening, and it is rarely even shot within the range of the goal frame.

More often, they are cleared by Hua Guo's double defensive midfielders and front and backcourt players at the front of the penalty area.

After 20 minutes in the second half, Qatar still did not score a goal and still did not equalize the score.

This disappointed the fans of Qatar, while the fans of the Chinese team were very happy.

It seems that the Huaguo team is really likely to take three points home from the hot and scorching Qatar away game.
