ball at foot

After entering the quarter-finals, the Chinese team faced the second-ranked Iraq in the group.

Compared with the news of qualifying from the group, what made the Chinese team even more happy was that in the group match, Iran was squeezed to the second place in the group by Japan, who was also in the same group, and their opponent was the No.1 South Korea in group b.

Both South Korea and Iran are opponents that the Chinese team hates very much. When they met them, the Chinese team always lost more than they won. You can see them fighting each other. Before meeting the Chinese team, one of them was eliminated first. The Chinese team is still quite happy.

The Chinese team's own opponent is Iraq, which is being invaded by the flames of war. Zhao Yaning does not know how strong such a team can be, but in his opinion, it is estimated that such a team will not be very strong.

What Zhao Yaning knows about them is that just before this game, in the last game of the group stage, the Iraqi team played in the Chongqing Division for most of the game. The fans' attention and support for them-this approach made Zhao Yaning feel that their characters were at least good.How bad can a team that can thank all the local fans watching the game go? [

The venue of this game is still in Beijing. After all, the Chinese team is the host, so there is still a geographical advantage.At the beginning of the game, Zhao Yaning discovered that the Iraqi team's lineup was indeed not as good as that of the Chinese team. In the game, the Chinese team still quickly controlled the situation.

But the problem was that Hao Dapao was not in this game, Li Yi started as a single striker, Shao Jiayi continued to start in midfield, Zhao Junzhe and Hu Zhaojun formed a defensive line behind him.As for the position of right midfielder, the Chinese team replaced Qu Bo.Although he is now a striker of the Chinese team in name, but because he has been playing counter-attack football every day in France for the past two years, it does not match the tactics of the Chinese team. Therefore, let alone Hao Dapao, he cannot win. Even Daewoo, who is good at grabbing points, and Li Yi, who is good at tactics, are ranked in his head. Apart from fighting and counterattacking, his role can only be played on the side.

In the game, Zhao Yaning kept cutting in with the ball, but there was never any good opportunity.Although Zhao Yaning controlled the situation, the opponent did not retreat or collapse immediately because of this—although I don’t know how they did it, but it is really surprising that a country in war can still have such strength .

But when the game reached 10 minutes, Zhao Yaning still found a chance. He made a long pass and passed the ball behind the opponent’s back line. After Qu Bo rushed up at high speed, he took the ball to the penalty area. One step inside, and then a small angle shot, the goal was successful.

"Qu Bo's goal is the first record for the Chinese team. Qu Bo has made great progress in the past two years abroad. His current physical fitness and strength are not comparable to before. And his technology has also improved, although this progress Not as big as Zhao Yaning, but he is already one of the best players in the Chinese team.”

The commentator said a few words with emotion. Before going abroad, although Qu Bo had great strength and potential, he never performed very well.And during this period of time abroad, although what he practiced most was physical strength, physical fitness, and basic basic skills, but these things, on the contrary, have greatly improved his strength.

But it is the improvement of these things that is the most important thing.Compared with the fancy technique and the excellent consciousness that the Chinese football circle has been pursuing, muscles, confrontation, explosive power, endurance, these things are the real things that can be seen and touched.

After this goal, Iraq paid more attention to defense, which made the match between the two teams a midfield grind.Zhao Yaning and Qu Bo’s attacks on the two wings were repeatedly interrupted, but Iraq was unable to organize too many attacks.

At the end of the first half, after a cooperation with Sun Jihe, Zhao Yaning directly rushed into the penalty area. After a slight change of direction and shaking his opponent away, he tried to hit the goal with his foot, but the opponent’s defender suddenly hit the goal. down him.

The referee directly whistled a penalty kick.

But this time, who will make free throws has also become a problem.After the last game, Shao Jiayi kicked his own free throw opportunity to the sky, and he didn't dare to make another penalty.And Zheng Zhi didn't want to take a free throw this time, Zhao Yaning looked at the expressions of the people around him, smiled wryly and stood on the penalty spot.

He is really not confident about the free throw point now. After all, his ability has been cut off by the card ability, and he has some doubts about whether he can make a free throw.But at this time, he also knows that his status in the national team is getting higher and higher, and it is absolutely impossible to blindly let others do things like penalty kicks.

But how to make this penalty?Zhao Yaning stood in front of the penalty spot and thought about it.

There are two ways of thinking about penalty kicks. One is to rely on good skills to shoot directly to the dead corner, so that the opponent's goalkeeper has no time to catch the ball.The other is to shake the opponent's goalkeeper through movement and rhythm, let the opponent's goalkeeper make a save first, and then shoot himself, so that the goalkeeper can't make a successful save.

For the former, Zhao Yaning couldn't do it.His shooting skills are not enough to hit the dead corner every time when he shoots, so that the opponent can't make a save. The best way for the latter is to shake the opponent to save and shoot directly in the middle, which is the so-called spoon penalty.But Zhao Yaning knew very well that he did not have this skill.

But he still has other skills.His ability to change speed is very good. After all, he has practiced dribbling for so long, so he definitely has the ability to change speed.

And when he thought of this, he backed away, and then, ran, accelerated, raised his legs...stop!

Just moments before he got to the penalty spot, he stopped abruptly.The goalkeeper had already rushed to the right at this time, but Zhao Yaning kicked the ball to the left after seeing his movement clearly, and the ball rolled into the net, but the faces of the surrounding Iraqi players were all shocked There is an unconvinced look.

This method of stopping in front of the penalty spot and then kicking, the earliest founder can probably be traced back to Didi in Brazil.This kind of kick has a high success rate, but this kind of shaking of the goalkeeper has always been considered immoral.Although many people are using this method of kicking free throws, in Europe, some people have called for this sudden stop of free throws to be treated as a foul. [

But since the rules haven't changed, Zhao Yaning can't be regarded as a problem if he plays like this.

After the game entered 2-0, the Iraqi team was thinking about how to attack.And not long after, after Zhao Yaning got the ball again, he continued to dribble the ball, looking for Li Yi's position, but just when he saw the position and was about to pass the ball, something happened suddenly.

The opponent's goalkeeper slapped Li Yi to the ground, the referee blew his whistle, a red card was sent off, and a penalty kick was added.

This time, players from both sides came together.A foul in the penalty area can be said to be accidental. Doing this continuously means a bit of malicious bullying.

"The two sides quarreled, and the referee gave the Chinese team another penalty, which made the opponent's players very dissatisfied. But this is indeed their dirty defensive action. Who is to blame for this..."

The focus of everyone's quarrel in this ball is actually whether to give a penalty.The goalkeeper knocked down the forward player in the penalty area. This red card is not unjust, but the problem is that the penalty kick needs to be considered.After all, Li Yi was on the ball when he was knocked down. This kind of penalty requires the referee to judge according to the severity of the circumstances. But this time, the referee chose to give a penalty.

After a while of noise, Zhao Yaning once again stood in front of the penalty spot.

The emergency stop method is easy to use once, but it doesn’t work again, so it’s better to change it this time.

Zhao Yaning backed away for a distance and ran with small steps, but suddenly, he took a big step, shaking the opponent’s new goalkeeper. When the goalkeeper moved, his speed suddenly slowed down. When it was too late to make a save adjustment, he suddenly accelerated and kicked the ball towards the gate!

The ball fell into the net again.

It turns out the coach was right.The tricks of football are always the same. After all, with the ball feel and dribbling skills, everything else can be easily obtained.There is no doubt that a tall building can be built only when the foundation is solid.

In this game, after the Chinese team took the lead 3-0, the game also came to an end.The Iraqi team also knew very well that they were doomed to lose this game.

"The Chinese team entered the semi-finals with a 3-0 victory. This game broke some pessimistic predictions before the game. The strength of the Chinese team has also been more recognized. Under the leadership of Zhao Yaning, we expect Seeing that the team that has won can achieve better results..."

The so-called pessimistic predictions naturally refer to a series of statements made by the media about Alihan since he coached.After all, Alihan took over Milu's national team, and with Milu's achievements, his leadership is already very difficult. In addition, he has abandoned the use of some people, and he has been questioned a lot. .

Although Zhao Yaning's support and the championship of the East Asian semi-finals later suppressed many doubts he faced, there are still many people waiting to see the joke.But this time, entering the semi-finals has made many people's mentality of watching jokes restrained.

At the same time, the Chinese team ushered in another good news: the Iranian team successfully advanced to the semi-finals with a 4-3 victory in the match against the South Korean team.Karimi scored a hat-trick to knock South Korea out.

The semi-finals of the World Cup failed to advance to the semi-finals in the Asian Cup. It is a joke to say it.But Zhao Yaning is very clear that this result is not surprising at all.

After all, the South Korean team's World Cup semi-finals are the result of black calls, and their strength is still not number one in Asia.Although half of the main lineup of the Iranian team failed to attend the Asian Cup due to infighting and political reasons, their strength should not be underestimated.

After all, they have a Karimi.Even when Zhao Yaning has won the Triple Crown and is in full swing, Karimi is still considered by the Iranians as the number one midfielder in Asia.

And this seemingly crazy statement is really recognized by many people.There are already rumors that Karimi has been favored by Bayern Munich and will soon become a member of the Bundesliga giants. Many people claim that his future is definitely not inferior to Zhao Yaning.

This kind of statement only made Zhao Yaning smile: strong or not, you can only know after the comparison.
