Chapter 251 Continuing to Fall Behind

The poor on-field state of the Huaguo team made the fans feel extremely uncomfortable, and the players on the field themselves played in fear.

Fortunately, the configuration of double defensive midfielders is still much more powerful in defense. Except for the penalty kick, Qatar's attack can be blocked by numerical superiority at other times.

After all, Jiang Xiaolin was still at the front, and Qatar itself did not dare to go out with all its strength and attack.

It's just the offense in the midfield, and the Huaguo team can still defend it.

It's just that the fans are uncomfortable watching it.

Everyone originally thought that they could beat their opponents 2-0 in the hot and scorching away game, and it would definitely be easier to play when they returned home, and they would definitely win the game and ensure the second position in the group.

Unexpectedly, the players of the Huaguo team were in such a poor state in this game. Instead, the Qatari players seemed to have taken a stimulant and beat the Huaguo team at the Huaguo team's home court.

Of course, everyone can imagine that the root cause of the sluggish state of Hua Guo players is the scandal that broke out yesterday in Duy.

The head coach's scandal made the national football team the center of public opinion, putting pressure on the players and their poor on-field performance. What was presented to the fans was this shit-like game.

Therefore, the voices booing the home team in the stands became more and more loud.

Of course, it wasn't mainly about booing the players. Everyone was more booing the head coach Duy, shouting slogans that Duy is stupid* and Duy dismissed from get out of class, and the momentum was astonishing.

The Qatari players naturally don't care who the fans boo, anyway, they just know it's not booing.

At this time, it is natural to take advantage of his illness and kill him, just attack with all his strength, and try to expand the score.

The 1-0 score does not reassure the Qataris, after all, the Hua Guo team still has Jiang Xiaolin, a super shooter.

Although it seems that Jiang Xiaolin is also in normal condition, who knows when Jiang Xiaolin will suddenly break out and score a goal to tie the score?
You must know that Qatar is now third in the group, 2 points behind the Huaguo team, which is second in the group.

For the Qatar team, only by winning this face-to-face game can they overtake the Huaguo team and gain the initiative to qualify for the group stage.

Therefore, even with a 1-0 lead, Qatar did not give up on the offense, but actively pushed forward, trying to take advantage of the sluggish state of the Chinese team to score another goal and expand the score.

If it weren't for Jiang Xiaolin's scruples, I'm afraid Qatar might really expand the score.

Fortunately, the Qatar team could not devote all their strength to attack, and the Huaguo team became more proficient in the defensive tactics of the double midfielder after a few games of adaptation.

Although the state is not good, but with the advantage of numbers, it is no problem to hold the penalty area.

After all, Qatar is not a strong team. They don't have a world-class offensive lineup. Facing the shrinking defense of the Hua Guo team, except for that unexpected penalty kick, they can't break the Hua Guo team's goal.

As a result, the scene formed a stalemate in which Qatar played against the Huaguo team and the Huaguo team defended in a panic, but maintained a 1-0 score until the end of the first half.

During the period, Jiang Xiaolin tried to counterattack with the ball twice. With Jiang Xiaolin's speed and dribbling skills, he did pose a certain threat, but because Huang Bowen, Hao Junmin and others wanted to assist in the defense, no one rushed up to fight Jiang Xiaolin. With the attack, the Qataris can concentrate on defending him.

Under such circumstances, no matter how powerful Jiang Xiaolin was, he would be helpless, unable to break through Qatar's entire defense line alone.

The most threatening time was also to complete the shot on the penalty area line after breaking through two people, but after all, he missed the bottom line under the interference of the opponent's defender.

Another attack didn't even complete the shot, and the ball was intercepted by the opponent's two guards.

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. Qatar, who played away, led by 1 goal.

During the half-time break, the players of the Huaguo team were downcast, and Duy said nothing. The executive coach Folado asked Duy, and Duy let him make his own decision.

Then, Folado made a substitution adjustment, replacing the midfielder Huang Bowen who was slightly injured in a defense in the first half, and replaced him with No. 23 Qu Bo as the midfielder.

But when it comes to morale, there's not much Folado can do.

Duy's scandal is not something he can solve.

Moreover, in front of Duy, he couldn't say anything to complain about the coach to divert attention.

The same goes for the players, because Duy is in the locker room, so it's not easy for everyone to complain face to face, and they can only keep their depression in their hearts.

Jiang Xiaolin also frowned, regretting that he hadn't strengthened his team aura before the start of the match.

If this game is lost and the Hua Guo team slips to third in the group, then the initiative will be lost.

Even if the Hua Guo team wins all the last two rounds, if Qatar also wins all, it will be Qatar who will qualify.

Therefore, if they lose today's game, the Hua Guo team will feel very uncomfortable. They can only look at people's faces and see if Australia will die against Qatar in the next round.

Feeling out of control of your destiny sucks.

I can only continue to work hard in the second half, trying to score a goal to equalize the score.

As long as you get a draw, it is much better than losing, at least you can control your fate in your own hands.

Unable to control others, Jiang Xiaolin secretly encouraged himself in his heart.

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

In the second half, Qatar still played against the guests and dominated the Huaguo team. The Huaguo fans on the scene and in front of the TV were very annoyed, but there was nothing they could do.

Fortunately, most of Qatar's offenses are thunderous and rainy. It looks amazing, but it does not pose a fatal threat to the Hua Guo team.

But for the Hua Guo team, Jiang Xiaolin could only occasionally get the ball and launch a counterattack, but most of them were useless.

The two sides maintained a 0-1 score stalemate until more than 70 minutes.

As the game time passed, the time left for the Hua Guo team became less and less, and Jiang Xiaolin also regretted not adding the on-the-spot attribute of the team halo before the game started, which made him powerless to fight back now.

However, despite this, Jiang Xiaolin still did not give up, he was still rushing from left to right to get out of the gap, and then waited for the pass from his teammates.

In the 73rd minute, the defensive midfielder Liu Jian broke the ball at the opponent's feet, and Jiang Xiaolin turned around and rushed towards the penalty area of ​​Qatar.

If Liu Jian sends a good kick at this time, it may become a threat.

It's a pity that Liu Jian's kick passed the ball crookedly, and the opponent's player directly intercepted it halfway, and the pass never reached Jiang Xiaolin's feet.

This is the performance of the sluggish state on the spot. It's not that the Huaguo team has no chance to counterattack, but the teammates are not in good condition and their luck is bad. There are so many people in the backcourt. After the whole court, they basically didn't even pass a wonderful pass. As a result, Jiang Xiaolin has never received a wonderful pass and poses a threat.

This time Liu Jian's deflected ball was just a microcosm of the whole game.
