God of Greenery

2009年1月14日中午14:00，随着主裁判的一声哨响，2011年卡塔尔第15届亚洲杯预选赛D组叙利亚VS华国的比赛正式开始。

The lineup of the Hua Guo team in this game is somewhat different from that when Yin Tieshen led the top ten games and the Oman four-nation game.

After all, Gao Hongbo and Yin Tiesheng have different coaching philosophies, and each head coach has players he trusts.

But overall, most of the main players remain unchanged.

The Huaguo team's starting lineup for this game is goalkeeper Song Zhenyu, defenders Cao Yang, Du Wei, Wang Xiao, Zhang Yaokun, midfielders Zheng Zhi, Liu Jian, midfielders Du Zhenyu and Qu Bo, midfielder Huang Bowen, and forward Jiang Xiaolin.

After the start of the game, the Huaguo team, who got the right to kick off, passed the ball back two or three times, then suddenly passed it forward and launched a full-scale attack.

Surprisingly, the Hua Guo team's attack was not intercepted or made a mistake. They used a series of passes and cuts very smoothly to send the ball to Jiang, who was running without the ball to the left wing of the penalty area. At the foot of Kobayashi.

It's a pity that Qu Bo's last pass was not very subtle, so Jiang Xiaolin had to stop the ball and adjust it before hitting the goal.

Jiang Xiaolin himself was the key target of Syria's surveillance, and he was always guarded by his side.

Stopping the ball to adjust this, delayed a little time, so that Syrian defender Abduldaim rushed over in time to complete the action of blocking the hole of the gun, blocking Jiang Xiaolin's shot from the bottom line.

The Huaguo team failed to grab the first point in the subsequent corner kick and was cleared by the Syrian defender who pushed out of the penalty area.

Although the first wave of offensive did not score, it still made a small number of Chinese and overseas Chinese fans in the stands excited and kept applauding.

Such a gorgeous combination of passing, cutting and running positions was hard to see in the Huaguo team in the past. I did not expect the Huaguo team to play such an attack today.

Therefore, the Huaguo fans, both at the scene and in front of the TV, seemed very happy.

The commentator of the Huaguo GuoTV Sports Channel on the commentary seat also had his eyes brightened, and said: "It's a pity that the National Football Team's offensive failed to score. However, the National Football Team's offensive cooperation was very good. It seems that Gao Hongbo The technical flow changes have already achieved some results. As long as he is given more time, the national football team must have improved in terms of technical cooperation."

The guest nodded and said: "Yes! The offensive cooperation this time is very good. If the transformation continues in this way, the national football team will indeed have a bright future. I only hope that Gao Hongbo's transformation will be successful."

Amidst the discussions among fans and commentators, the game continued.

Although the Hua Guo team's first wave of offense posed a certain threat, Syria did not back down, but immediately launched an attack after getting the ball, and used the strong bodies of their West Asian players to continuously attack the Hua Guo team's defense.

Because this is their home field.

If you don't want to win at home, what else is there to pursue?
What's more, in the last warm-up match, with Jiang Xiaolin starting, Iran also defeated the Chinese team.

This gave Syria a certain confidence.

However, although the physical fitness of Syrian players has a certain advantage, it is not an overwhelming advantage.

Although the Huaguo team has changed to a technical stream, it doesn't mean that the players are all thin and weak. Zheng Zhi, Dewey and others on the defense line are all tall and strong players with good health.

In addition, the Huaguo team's 4231 formation is more inclined to defensive counterattacks in use, so there are enough numbers in the backcourt. As a result, Syria cannot smoothly pass the ball into the Huaguo team's penalty area.

After all, although Syria is also a West Asian team, compared with Iran, the strength gap is still relatively large, and the ball is intercepted by the Hua Guo team from time to time.

Of course, because Gao Hongbo asked the players to pass the ball less, pass the ball more, and play more passes and cuts, even if the Hua Guo team steals the ball, they will make mistakes in passing and cutting from time to time, and the ball will change hands.

Therefore, what this game showed to the fans and spectators was that the two sides kept fighting and strangling in the midfield, making constant mistakes, but it was difficult for both sides to hit the ball into the penalty area to pose a threat.

Relatively speaking, because the Hua Guo team's technical style of play has not yet formed, and there are many mistakes, Syria has more shooting opportunities than the Hua Guo team. However, due to the problem of the striker's shooting skills, even if there are shooting opportunities, it is difficult to hit the goal frame. range, even poses a threat.

On the other hand, the Huaguo team is because the teammates can give Jiang Xiaolin too little support. Many times Jiang Xiaolin ran into the gap, but his teammates didn't see it, or he didn't have the passing skills to pass the ball accurately. passed in place.

So much so that Jiang Xiaolin didn't get his first threatening shot that hit the goal frame until the 13th minute, but it was a pity that goalkeeper Barhou finally threw it out.

As for Syria, although they took more shots than the Hua Guo team, they did not hit the goal frame with a long shot from outside the penalty area until the 18th minute, but they were not strong and the angle was not tricky. confiscated.

The two sides come and go, and it seems that the fight is enthusiastic, but it is basically pecking at each other, and there are not many threatening shots.

Even with Jiang Xiaolin's ability, he couldn't do much under the weak teammates and the opponent's heavy defense.

Moreover, the first goal of the game was not scored by Jiang Xiaolin, not even by the Hua Guo team, but by Syria.

In the 25th minute, Syria got a corner kick.

Although the corner kick was not headed by the Syrian player, let alone a goal, Dewey elbowed the opponent's central defender Ayan to the ground when the two sides competed for the top in the penalty area.

So, the referee whistled, Dewey got a yellow card, and awarded the opponent a penalty.

Syrian striker Kadib took the penalty and scored the ball into the dead corner.

Syria, playing at home, took advantage of a corner kick to open the scoring and took a 1-0 lead.

The Syrian fans in the stands gave out warm applause and cheers, while the players of the Hua Guo team seemed a little depressed.

In particular, Dewey, who made a foul, caused himself to carry a yellow card, and gave the opponent a penalty kick, seemed very annoyed.

However, it is useless to be upset at this time, and the game has to continue.

Although the Hua Guo team's technical style of play has not yet achieved great success, it is already better than the previous warm-up match against Iran.

Although there are not many smooth passes and cuts like the opening one, they can occasionally appear.

Coupled with Jiang Xiaolin's various full-value abilities as transfers, although the Hua Guo team did not attack many times, they actually played more threatening attacks than Syria.

Syria's first goal was just to take advantage of a penalty kick!

On penalties, even a world-class goalkeeper can hardly save them.

Finally, 10 minutes after conceding a penalty, in the 36th minute, the Huaguo team played a successful quick counterattack.

This counterattack was made by the backcourt players stealing the ball and starting to pass forward, but instead of using big feet, they played a ground pass and cut counterattack according to Gao Hongbo's request.

In the constant running forward, Jiang Xiaolin, Huang Bowen, and Qu Bo continued to make small-scale passes, which made Syria's defense look at one thing and lose another, and could not organize at all.

Finally, when Jiang Xiaolin changed direction and ran around to the right of the penalty spot in the penalty area, Huang Bowen sent the ball in front of him.

Jiang Xiaolin didn't stop the ball to adjust, nor did he have time to adjust. He volleyed the ball to the near corner of the goal before the defender Abdul Daim who was trying to tackle the siege.

After Jiang Xiaolin shot the ball, Abduldaim's flying tackle was in place, but it was too late, and the ball had already flown towards the goal.

Although the goalkeeper Balhou subconsciously fell to the ground to save, but Jiang Xiaolin's volley was too powerful and too fast, and he still couldn't save it.

The ball slid past his armpit and flew into the net against the near post.

In the commentary booth, the Hua Guo commentator who stared at the field with his eyes wide open after the Hua Guo team took the ball and started to counterattack suddenly shouted excitedly:
"The ball has gone in! The ball has gone in! The ball has gone in..."

"Jiang Xiaolin scored a goal!"

"Pretty!"

"The Hua Guo team played a beautiful counterattack. Huang Bowen assisted Jiang Xiaolin to score the goal and tied the score at 1-1!"

"This counterattack against the Hua Guo team played the effect that Gao Hongbo wanted. There was no high ball throughout the whole process, and they were all ground attacks. The ball was not intercepted by Syria throughout the whole process. It was very smooth and gorgeous."

The guest also smiled happily beside him: "Yes! The counterattack of the national football team was quite smooth and gorgeous, and it played the ground passing and cutting cooperation and counterattack that Gao Hongbo wanted, which was relatively rare in the previous national football team. The national football team has played this kind of attack many times, and now it has scored goals in this way."

"I think that as long as we persist for a long time, the transformation of the technical flow of the national football team should be successful and achieve good results."

The commentator nodded and said: "It seems that, as Jiang Xiaolin said in an interview before, the technical flow is the most suitable way for Huaguo football. Playing football with the body like before is not good for Huaguo players who are yellow race. That said, it's really not suitable."

"Now, we have seen certain effects. As long as we persist for a long time, we will be able to achieve success like Japan."

On the court, Jiang Xiaolin and his teammates from the Huaguo team celebrated warmly.

Because this is a successful goal scored according to Gao Hongbo's tactical requirements*, it proves that Gao Hongbo's tactical thinking is not wrong.

With such a goal, the players who participated in the whole process felt very satisfied and had a sense of accomplishment.

Of course, it doesn't mean that the Huaguo team completely gave up the air attack and went to play ground passes.

As Gao Hongbo said before the game, the technical style of play needs to be practiced slowly, but Jiang Xiaolin still has to score when he has the opportunity to score.

It's just that Jiang Xiaolin never got a good opportunity before.

But not long after the game restarted, the Huaguo team used Jiang Xiaolin's speed to launch a successful aerial counterattack.

In the 42nd minute, Jiang Xiaolin did not retreat too deep and wandered around the middle circle.

But the Chinese team stopped Syria's offensive.

The moment the Hua Guo team stole the ball, Jiang Xiaolin immediately started to kill Syria's half.

And Cao Yang, the full-back who got the ball, also drove the ball to the frontcourt with a big kick in time, and the height of the ball was high enough, and the location of the landing was just in line with Jiang Xiaolin's speed and running position.

A successful backcourt long pass.

As a result, the tried-and-true tactics of the Chinese team at the Olympics succeeded again: Jiang Xiaolin successfully received a long pass from Cao Yang's backcourt against offside, unloaded the ball without stopping the ball, and then dribbled it towards the Syrian goalkeeper. restricted area.

Because the speed and landing point of the ball matched Jiang Xiaolin's running position, so Jiang Xiaolin didn't have to stop and wait for the ball. Therefore, the Syrian defender who was left behind by him offside couldn't catch up with him, allowing Jiang Xiaolin to succeed. It formed the first chance to go to the meeting alone in the first half.

Faced with Jiang Xiaolin's single-handedly going to the meeting, even though he knew that death was more than life, Syria's goalkeeper Barhou still had no choice but to take the initiative to attack Jiang Xiaolin's single-handedly.

But Jiang Xiaolin didn't give him a chance at all. Before the penalty area, he lobbed a shot and lobbed the ball towards the goal behind Barhou.

Balhou had a premonition that Jiang Xiaolin would lob a shot, so he immediately stopped his attack and quickly retreated, trying to get the ball out before it caught the net.

It's a pity that Jiang Xiaolin's shooting skills are really terrifying. Not only did the ball hang over his head, it even flew into the goal by rubbing against the crossbar, and it was also at a certain angle, which made Balhou take two extra steps diagonally, causing In the end, it was too late to take off to save the fire.

In the 42nd minute, Jiang Xiaolin scored twice to help the Huaguo team overtake the score 2-1.

Huaguo fans at the scene and in front of the TV suddenly gave out warm cheers.

Not long after Jiang Xiaolin scored the second goal, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half. The two sides entered the intermission with a score of 1-2, and the Hua Guo team, who was playing away, took a one-goal lead.

During the intermission, Gao Hongbo commented on the team's performance in the first half, praised everyone's passing and cutting cooperation in the first goal, and also commented on some low-level mistakes that occurred, so that everyone can continue to improve in the second half .

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

In the second half, Syria, who played at home, was naturally unwilling to fail, and launched a continuous and fierce attack on the penalty area of ​​the Hua Guo team.

The Hua Guo team's technical style of play often makes mistakes, giving the opponent the opportunity to steal the ball and counterattack on the spot.

In the 64th minute, it was Hua Guo's backcourt player who made a pass error under the pressure of the Syrian forward, allowing the opponent's forward Azno to steal the ball directly to form a single goal, scoring Syria's second goal and tying the score. A 2-2 draw.

Fortunately, the Hua Guo team still has Jiang Xiaolin.

Although the Huaguo team did not score as smoothly as the first goal in the first half in the second half, Jiang Xiaolin's personal strength allowed the Huaguo team to score the third goal.

In the 78th minute, Huang Bowen made a breakthrough with the ball in the middle of the midfield and was knocked down from the side by the opponent, winning a free kick for the Hua Guo team.

This free kick position has a good distance, about 25 meters away from the goal on the left side of the front of the penalty area.

Jiang Xiaolin took a beautiful arc free kick and sent the ball directly into the upper left corner of Syria.

The goalkeeper was beyond his reach and could only watch the ball hit the net.

Jiang Xiaolin staged a hat-trick, and the Huaguo team overtook the score again, rewriting the score to 2-3. The Huaguo team continued to take the lead in the away game.
