There is a dream called football

Chapter 531

2009 6 Month 18 Day.

In the last round of the top 10 Asian World Cup qualifiers in South Africa, China faced Iran in an away game in Tehran.

This game is a life-and-death battle for the Chinese team, because the Chinese team trailed Iran by 2 points before the game, and they were eliminated in a tie or a loss. If the Chinese team wants to advance to South Africa, then the only way is to beat Iran.

This game is too important, so CCTV began to broadcast live one hour before the game, even the warm-up was not missed.

"The reason why the Chinese team encountered difficulties in the top ten competition was because of Li Qiao's injury."

"Li Qiao was injured at Manchester United in March this year, and then rested for more than a month. During the two games during this period, the Chinese team lost to South Korea and drew with Saudi Arabia. They lost 3 points in one fell swoop. The original advantage disappeared."

"Otherwise, it is impossible for the Chinese team to go to Iran in the last round, and it will be in Tehran."

"But it doesn't make sense to say that now."

"The fate of the Chinese team is still in our own hands. As long as we beat Iran, then we will go to South Africa."

The frontcourt combination Iran sent is very strong.

The leader is Hashmian, who once played for Bayern Munich. The midfielder is Shujaei, Nekonan, Reza, and Karimi.

Iran's lineup is also very aging, and many of them are still the same group that played against the Chinese team in the Asian Cup in 2004.

However, in this kind of game where the outcome is determined by a single game, many things are hard to say.

After the opening, the devils in Iran showed their magic at home, because the altitude here is relatively high, and many people are not used to coming here.

Li Qiao felt that playing football here was a very tiring thing. The altitude affected Li Qiao's state, so the Chinese team's tactic in the first half was to defend, while the Iranian team attacked quickly like a Persian cavalry, hoping to take advantage of their home court to win the Chinese team in one fell swoop.

Under the impact of Iran, the Chinese team's defense is very difficult. The Iranian style of play is basically a European style, with fast speed and strong impact. From the perspective of race, the Iranians are also similar to Europeans. Under this high-intensity game, the Chinese team is very nervous.

"It must be resisted. Lippi should have studied the video of the South Korean team playing here. At that time, the South Korean team resisted with their own will."

But soon, the Iranian team's own aging problems appeared, and the persistence of the attack was not so good.

The Chinese team began to look for an opportunity to counterattack, and the number one counterattack point of the Chinese team was of course Li Qiao.

For Mr. Xinke Footballer, Iran's defense is very rough and the kicks are very ruthless, so Li Qiao can only dodge kicks and reduce frontal confrontation. This is a very smart way, because once he is kicked head-on, he is likely to be injured.

Before the pressure of qualifying for the World Cup, Iranians don't talk about etiquette and shame.

After a few big moves, Lippi stood up and protested. Although these few kicks did not hit Li Qiao, they all seemed to be aimed at people. His intentions were terrible. The Iranians were obviously planning to play hooligans.

In this case, Li Qiao must play the ball faster.

"The Iranians seem to be ready to use a red card in exchange for victory. The Chinese team must be careful and must not let their opponents succeed."

The Chinese team avoided confrontation, but it is really impossible to have no confrontation in a football game, so the Chinese team players were violated again and again, especially the forward Gao Lin, who was slow to take the ball, and was basically brought down in this situation.

"The Iranians' tactics were very clear, they were going to muddy the waters because they had a two-point advantage."

"Yes, the situation is more difficult for the Chinese team."

"At this time, the role of stars is very important."

Almost the whole country is looking forward to the arrival of the savior, and everyone's hope is on Li Qiao.

After the injury, Li Qiao's condition was mediocre. Coupled with the lack of oxygen in the plateau, Li Qiao's condition is not particularly good today, and he has not sought a particularly fast breakthrough for the time being. He seems to be accumulating energy.

"I think with Li Qiao's strength, this kind of game will definitely explode, but it may be in the second half."

At the end of the first half, the 0-0 score made the Iranians very satisfied. If it ends with such a score, then the Iranians will go to South Africa.

The Iranians are also prepared to continue this football style until the end of the game, disappointing the Chinese and leaving Tehran.

During the intermission, what Lippi said was not tactics, but some words of encouragement. Regarding dreams, in fact, the more important things are in this kind of time, the more important the spiritual aspect is. Don't underestimate this.

Lippi is very clear, so he said a lot of things to make everyone excited. Only by believing in yourself can you win the game.

At the beginning of the second half, the Iranians couldn't run anymore. They started to defend, and it was this change that made them regret it after the game.

It can only be said that Iran's head coach Ali Daei is a good player, but not a good coach. When the two sides were facing each other, he retreated first. This seems to be safer, but in fact it is just a stupid move.

Because of the lack of a high position in the frontcourt, the Chinese team can pass the ball freely in the Iranian half, and in this way, the Chinese team has a lot more opportunities, and slowly, the Chinese team has more shooting opportunities.

But Ali Daei realized it was too late, he could only do the defense to the end, expecting 0-0.
Of course, in terms of Iran's strength, this is entirely possible. As long as they are tougher in front of and in the penalty area, it will still be difficult for the Chinese team to get a chance.

The minutes passed, and at the end of the day, all 11 Iranians were piled up in the penalty area, ready to pass the time like this.

80 minutes.

81 minutes.

At 85 minutes, Ali Daei smiled, and he felt that he should have succeeded.

"Haha, we can go to South Africa now."

But at this moment, Li Qiao shot a long shot in front of the penalty area, and the ball fell violently. It was a deciduous ball.

As soon as this goal appeared, the Iranians in the audience were startled. You must know that although Iran did not perform well in this qualifier, it was in an away game. In Tehran's home game, the Iranians have not lost.

But this time they met Li Qiao, and the ball was powerful and heavy, hitting the far corner of the goal.

The moment the goal was scored, the whole of Tehran was silent, the Iranians were dumbfounded, they were lore, and the cheers of the Chinese team were like a silent movie, there was no sound, just a group of red figures running wantonly in the stadium.

After the game, Ali Daei looked at Lippi viciously, and he lost to the cunning Italian Silver Fox.

The Chinese team can go to South Africa.
