All-around substitute

Chapter 100
At 19:35 in the evening at the Hanoi Stadium, after a few minutes of opening ceremony, the Sino-Iranian battle officially kicked off.

The Iraqi side continued to use the formation against Uzbekistan in the group match. In terms of personnel, except for three players, several main players suspended due to accumulated yellow cards formed the strongest lineup. Several key players all started. No. 19 Nasat No. 9 Raza Qi and No. 7 Ahmed.It's just puzzling that the previous main midfielder Isam is not in the starting lineup, and even the bench is nowhere to be seen.

The China National Youth League is still 4231, and the personnel have not changed much.The position on the court is Wang Shangyuan, Xu Zangyi and Li Yuanyi are separated on the left and right. Zheng Darun and Jin Jingdao, who replaced Liu Bing in the starting list, are paired with double midfielders. The back line maintains the previous starting combination without adjustment.

Both China and Iran have made small adjustments in personnel. The coaches of both sides discovered this at the first time, and they were all thinking about the reasons why their opponents did so.

"Remove the main midfielder?" Kerry was very puzzled. Without suspension or injury, Iraq withdrew the main midfielder and sent Lazim, who had never played in the group stage.

"Sun! Do you know the situation?" Kerry turned around and asked Sun Xuhai. Sun Xuhai's work in the National Youth League is not just as simple as an assistant coach. He will shoulder the work of collecting intelligence with Duke, another assistant of Kerry.

"I heard that during the training of the Iraqi team, Isam, the main midfielder, had a conflict with the head coach Shaker. I don't know the specific situation. I guess Isam was removed from the match list for contradicting the coach!" Sun Xuhai said He told Kerry the truth about what he knew.Sun Xuhai didn't know much inside information. After entering the knockout rounds, all the teams' training secrecy measures were done very well, and there were not many leaked things.It took a lot of effort to get the little information that Sun Xuhai knew.

"A conflict?" Kerry looked thoughtfully at the Iraqi bench.

At this time, all the players on the Iraqi bench were extremely serious, and no one was whispering to discuss the game.Coach Shaker looked solemn, staring at the field without saying a word, which seemed to confirm Sun Xuhai's guess.

The Iraqi bench did not find the answer. Kerry withdrew his eyes and focused on the field, no longer thinking about the reasons why Shaker removed Issam.No matter what considerations the opponent has for making such a decision, Kerry will take it seriously. He believes that all "conspiracies" will be revealed one by one as the game progresses.

"Beep~" A clear whistle sounded, and the game officially started.

After the opening, the two teams entered the state relatively quickly. The Chinese team, which got the right to kick off at halftime, created a murderous intention in the first minute.Xu Zangyi received the ball from Wang Shangyuan, and after a successful breakthrough from the left, he made a cross and sent it into the penalty area. Unfortunately, the ball was cleared by Iraqi defender Saya with a header.

But Sha Ye's clearance was not far away, and Xu Xin, who got the ball from the outside, sent the ball into the penalty area again.This time, Wang Shangyuan stabbed and shot before the Iraqi defender made a clearance, and the Iraqi goalkeeper responded in time and confiscated the ball.In the next 3 minutes, Guoqing got consecutive chances on the wing, but they were all resolved by Iraqi defenders one by one.

"The Chinese team seems to have done a great job!" After the opening, the Chinese team got chances on the wing, and Shaker was secretly shocked on the sidelines.

Kerry's three days of highly targeted training achieved results after the opening. On the 7th, Ahmed was firmly suppressed by Xu Zangyi, forcing Nasat, the Iraqi core, to approach the right side of his side to help Ahmed in defense.

The defense of Iraqi personnel on the right was strengthened, and when Xu Zangyi wanted to break through again on the left, the ball was broken.After passing through the midfield quickly, Nasat shot a cold arrow from the outside, but the shot missed.

Although Nasat's shot missed the goal, the significance of boosting the confidence of the Iraqi players is far greater than the shot itself.Sure enough, Iraq made a comeback after hitting the three-pointer. Nasat leaned on two national youth defenders, turned around and sent a through kick.

"Deng Hanwen, be careful behind you!" Guoqing goalkeeper Tili Ai Mujiang reminded Wang Tong loudly.

"Damn it!" While moving back, Deng Hanwen found No. 9 Lazaqi speeding past, and it was too late for Deng Hanwen to chase after him.

"Oh!"

Nasat's through kick pierced through the entire defense line of the National Youth League, and Razazi, who was single-handedly, hit the goal post with a loud shot.

"How to defend! How to make No. 19 pass the ball!"

Tili Aimujiang, who made a save, got up and roared at the defensive players in the backcourt.

"The boy on the 19th is very fast! Pay more attention!"

Xu Xin ran up and asked Jin Jingdao and Zheng Darun a few words.

Iraq's extremely threatening attack was a curse on the national youth team. On the 19th, Nasat must be closely guarded.

In the next 10 minutes, both teams made great efforts to target the core players of both sides.As long as Xu Zangyi and Nasat have the ball, they will be defended by more than two defensive players.

The core was monitored, and the Chinese and Iranian sides fought back and forth on the wing. Deng Hanwen's oblique long pass from the right of Guoqing entered the penalty area, and Wang Shangyuan headed the ball over the goal beam. Two minutes later, the cross from the Iraqi full-back was cleared by Micro Motion.Offensive and defensive changes, Xu Xin and Xu Zangyi crossed and picked a pass from the bottom, Xu Zangyi threw off the defense and shot was confiscated by the Iraqi goalkeeper. One minute later, Jin Jingdao made a defensive error, Nasat went straight through the middle, and Razazi's shovel shot missed slightly after breaking through.

The time came to the 30th minute of the first half. Xu Zangyi, who attracted a lot of defensive power from the side, sent a difficult through pass. Xu Xin led the ball straight in and volleyed from a small angle on the left side of the penalty area to the side net.

One minute later, Nasat returned the favor. Under Jin Jingdao, Zheng Dalun and Li Yuanyi's three-prong defense, he picked the ball and divided it to the right. Razazi's low shot was shot out of the penalty area by Tili Aimujiang.Then the Iraqi midfielder Razim, who was plugged in, tried to push the shot slightly wide.

In the 41st minute, Xu Zangyi forced a breakthrough from the side, and was destroyed by the Iraqi defender to the bottom line, and Guoqing won a corner kick.

"Come forward! Come forward!"

Xu Zangyi kept waving in the corner area, signaling his teammates to move closer.In the previous three days, the national youth had practiced a lot of corner kicks.Towards the end of the first half, the national youth team needs to seize this corner kick opportunity.

The national youth team moved forward as promised, and the Iraqi players followed the movement of the national youth team and set up many checkpoints in the front.

"Oh!"

Xu Zangyi made an arc, but in terms of strength and height, it didn't look like he was flying into the front.

"Come in! Come in! Come in! Come in!" He Wei shouted frantically in the studio.

At the moment when Xu Zangyi took the ball, Jin Jingdao, who was in ambush at the back point, dived and scored the goal of Iraq with a header.

The Chinese team took the lead 1-0!

However, in the next 3 minutes, the Chinese team failed to hold on to the victory. In stoppage time in the first half, Iraq, who was fighting for life, Nasat blasted a world wave from the front of the upper right corner of the penalty area.

The score is one to one!
