Ten crown system

Chapter 112 Advance to the quarterfinals
Chapter 111 Advance to the Quarterfinals

After being rubbed on the ground by the Huaxia team for more than ten minutes, the Indonesian team finally got two good chances at the end of the first half.

The Indonesian team made a series of smooth short passes at the front of the penalty area. In the end, Sakti took a violent long shot from outside the penalty area. Jiangjin dropped the ball and the football was rushed to the bottom line. After taking the ball, he calmly knocked back in the middle, but the teammate who followed up the shot missed the right position, and the football slid past the goal post.

In the 42nd minute, Su Maozhen made a mistake in passing the ball back in midfield. Imran took two steps forward after stealing the ball. He observed that the goalkeeper Jiang Jin was standing too far ahead, so he shot angrily just after the middle circle , Jiang Jin hurriedly ran back with all his strength, but he didn't touch the football. Fortunately, the football hit the goal crossbar and popped out of the bottom line, and the national football team escaped.

In the second half, the Indonesian team speeded up their attacking rhythm. The Huaxia team had three goals in hand, and they played calmly, improving the success rate of passing and receiving the ball. The scene fell into a stalemate.

After the Indonesian team missed several good scoring opportunities, the head coach replaced the striker "Fast Horse" Bambang who played in the Netherlands, hoping to use Bambang's speed to tear apart the Chinese team's defense.

Bambang took advantage of the fact that the national football team didn't know himself when he just switched to the national football team, so he used his speed to break through and get a corner kick. Liardi volleyed from the back point, and the ball hit the net beside the goal, which shocked Jiang Jin into a cold sweat.

And the Indonesian head coach saw that Su Maozhen was not fast, so the back line was pressed higher, and Su Maozhen was offside many times.

Seeing the trick, Milu immediately replaced No. 12 Su Maozhen with No. 10 Qu Shengqing, hoping to use Qu Shengqing's speed to print behind the Nigerian team and carry out anti-offside.

One minute later, Milu replaced No. 1 Ma Mingyu with No. 19 Qi Hong, intending to strengthen the Huaxia team's midfield blocking ability and disrupt Indonesia's offensive organization in advance.

Milu is worthy of being an old fox in football, and the substitution quickly had an immediate effect.

In the 88th minute, Qu Shengqing received a direct pass from his teammate and successfully reversed offside. Qi Hong, who came off the bench, quickly stepped in, flicked the football with his left foot, calmly dunked the Indonesian defender who was grabbing up, dodged a gap, then calmly pushed with his right foot, and made another victory.

In the end, the Huaxia team beat the Indonesian team 4-0, with 4 points in the group, the same points as Kuwait. The goal difference ranked first in the group, and the qualifying situation was bright.

In another match in Group B, there was a small upset. The powerful South Korean team in East Asia unexpectedly lost 0 to 1 to Kuwait, the oil king in West Asia. They had the same score as Indonesia with 1 point, and the prospects for qualifying were bleak.

Heo Jong-moo, who failed to reach the top 8 in the Sydney Olympics, got off to a bad start in the Asian Cup, which aroused calls from reporters and fans in South Korea to end get out of class.

In fact, South Korea's loss to Kuwait is not to blame for Xu Dingmao alone, there are historical reasons.

Although the Kuwait team has been unsatisfactory in recent years due to the aftermath of the war and other effects, it is the nemesis of the South Korean team. In the 1994 Asian Games, the Kuwait team defeated the South Korean team twice. In the last Asian Cup group match, the Kuwait team defeated the South Korean team 1-0. Only in the 1998 Asian Games defeated the Kuwait team 1-0.

If it is said that the national football team is afraid of Korea, then the South Korean team should be somewhat "fearful".

On the evening of October 10th, in the third round of Group B, the Huaxia team drew 20-0 with the Kuwait team. Both teams had three matches, one win and two draws and accumulated 0 points. No.5 advances to the quarter-finals.

Compared with Xu Dingmao, Milu has gradually secured his position as the head coach of the national football team by virtue of the excellent performance of the Huaxia team. Those football association executives, coaches, and media reporters who used to clamor that Milu is not suitable for the national football team have also temporarily died down. These people have the rhythm, the fans have become rational, and Milu's future is bright.

After the game, the head of the South delegation resolutely denied the rumors that the conflict between the Chinese members of the National Football Team and Milu had intensified in an exclusive telephone interview with reporters.

"We are also people with some power. If you are really dissatisfied with Milu, you can have a direct way without any conspiracy. There are no two camps."

"Although some players have different opinions on Milu's tactical arrangements, they are all raised before the game. Milu also encourages players to use their brains to discuss. It is normal to quarrel. It is not a quarrel, but an argument. This is the team's aggressiveness. The heart, the performance of the players with a sense of responsibility."

Only Luo Yi, the reborn, knew that this was just the last ray of light before the darkness of Chinese football, a flash in the pan.

In the two games of the third round of Group B, the South Korean team showed their national tenacity and beat the Indonesian team 3-0 with Lee Dong-guk's hat-trick. .

In the 12/1 match of the 4th Asian Cup, Bagheri of the Iranian team took the lead in the 71st minute. Lee Dong-guk equalized the score in the 90th minute and pulled the South Korean team back from the abyss of elimination at the last moment. Lee Dong-guk was still in the 100th minute of overtime Another victory, the boss of West Asia, Iran, into the abyss.

In the end, the South Korean team still relied on Lee Dong-guk's double score to eliminate Iran 2-1, maintaining the face of the East Asian boss, and also letting the head coach Huo Jung-moo breathe a sigh of relief.

The Japanese team beat the Iraqi team 4-1. Iraq had a dream start. In the 5th minute, the Japanese team defender made a header and made a mistake. Jahim missed the goal and shot from the far corner.

But the dream of the Iraqi team was quickly shattered.

Japan's midfielder Hiroshi Nahiro scored twice in the 8th and 29th minutes, and Naoyasu Takahara and Akechiwa added icing on the cake in the 11th and 62nd minutes, helping the Japanese team easily eliminate the Iraqi team.

The two strong teams in West Asia were eliminated by South Korea and Japan, and the Saudi team defeated Kuwait 3-2 in overtime.

The Saudi team Temiyat took the lead in the 46th minute, Kuwaiti team Bashar equalized the score in the 68th minute, and teammate Houwadi surpassed the score in the 71st minute. The dawn of victory seems to be coming in the troubled world on Kuwait.

It's a pity that Kuwait was beaten by Saudi Arabia after being bullied by Iraq today.

Meshaal of the Saudi team equalized in the 85th minute, and Temiyat scored twice in the 108th minute of extra time to send the Kuwait team home.

After Iran had just tasted the last few seconds of black, Kuwait had two consecutive black minutes in the regular season and overtime.

It is suggested that the Iranian team and the Kuwait team should be sworn brothers with a certain national team Taoyuan and become three black brothers.

The top four teams Korea and Japan have already occupied half of the country, and Saudi Arabia is in a corner. Everyone's eyes are on the Huaxia team and Qatar team in the final quarter of the Asian Cup.

Is East Asian football occupying three-quarters of the territory or West Asia retaining half of the country?Media reporters and fans all set up their benches, picked up big melons and waited.

Through Luo Yi's translation before the game, Milu arranged tactics as usual, which was beyond the expectations of the international players and the Chinese coaching staff. In this game, Milu had to compete with the Qatar team in terms of foot skills, pay attention to the time of possession of the ball, and control the rhythm of the game. Mainly, don't follow the rhythm of the Qatar team.
