Midfielder Ruler

Chapter 291 First place in the half-time group!

In the second half, they changed sides and fought again. The Chinese team was wary of the hot weather in Qatar, and their offensive range was not large. Their tactics still revolved around defensive counterattacks, relying on Tang Zheng's precise and fast long pass to find opportunities.

It has to be said that Gao Lin and Yu were in extremely poor condition in this game. After squandering one chance each in the first half, they squandered chances consecutively in the second half.

Head coach Camacho stood on the sidelines and stamped his feet in a hurry. If he could, he even wanted to finish the goal by himself.

Tang Zheng's performance was quite normal, and he even gave thumbs up to his teammates who wasted the opportunity, signaling them to make persistent efforts.

After all, this level is very international.

So Tang Zheng kind of missed the time when Hao Junmin was present...

At the same time, He Wei, the commentator of Central 5, hated iron and steel and said: China's influence is growing, and it has attracted superstars like Anelka, Drogba, and Barrios to join. This is a good thing. , but I have to say that their existence seriously affects the survival of local strikers, hey...

Having said this, He Wei didn't say anything, but sighed.

Because Gao Lin and Yu are both main players in their respective clubs, the ability to seize opportunities has nothing to do with playing time, but only with personal level.

The only thing I feel fortunate is that the defense line in the middle field, which is dominated by domestic players, has grown after the impact of a large number of high-level foreign players. Their game attention is very concentrated, so the score has always been 0:0.

In the 65th minute of the game, Qatar midfielder Haidos was replaced by teammate Ismail due to excessive physical exertion.

With Haidos being replaced by the home team, Sebastian, who has a strong striker ability, fell into isolation and helplessness, which meant that Qatar's offense was gradually paralyzed.

Tang Zheng's reading competition ability is strong,

Keenly aware of the home team's offensive decline, he gradually adjusted his state and focused more on the offensive end.

He increased the range of forward pressure, and at the same time expanded the range of running, participating in the team's frontcourt organization and series work.

If given the chance, he would even choose to take a long shot to try his feeling.

Immediately, the Chinese team also made personnel adjustments. Zhang Xizhe, who performed well in Guoan this season, replaced Gao Lin.

Camacho's substitution is also somewhat confusing in a targeted situation. He removed a center and replaced it with a midfielder, making the Qatar coach think that the purpose of the Chinese team is to score a point in the away game.

As a result, the home team removed a full-back and added an attacking midfielder.

Then in less than two minutes, the Chinese team requested a substitution again, and Yang Xu replaced Yu Hai on the left.

Yang Xu is one of the few domestic players who can become the main center in the midfield, so his ability is quite good, especially the ability to grab points in front of the goal, which is one of the best in the midfield.

Camacho's bewildering substitutions took effect very quickly. Tang Zheng directly counterattacked with a long pass in an opportunity to switch from defense to offense. forward.

When Yang Xu entered the penalty area, facing Qatar left-back Budiaf, he first made an illusion of cutting inside, then led the football outward, adjusted slightly, and passed directly.

Perhaps because of the decline in physical fitness, Yu's cross passed a little late, and Yang Xu had to run back to fight for the header.

Yang Xu, who is 1.88 meters tall, has a clear advantage over Qatar's two central defenders. He jumped high and kicked the ball back in the process of retreating.

Zhang Xizhe, who outflanked and followed up in time, swung his right foot and shot the goal without stopping the ball in the middle of the penalty area. The midfielder El Said, who returned to the penalty area to protect, fell to the ground subconsciously and blocked. The football hit his chest and bounced towards China. The team's offensive right rib.

Yu ran too far, did not retract, Zhang Xizhe and Yang Xu were both in the penalty area of ​​Qatar.

But Qatar's goalkeeper Barry and the home fans were desperate, they saw that the rolling direction of the football was exactly the same as Tang Zheng's running direction!

Tang Zheng adjusted his steps in small steps, raised his left arm naturally to maintain his body balance, raised his thick right leg, and swung it out violently.

Boom~

There was a crisp sound as there was a violent collision between the two.

Qatar goalkeeper Barry had already made a save action to the left because of Zhang Xizhe's shot just now, that is, the far corner of the football. This time, Tang Zheng's non-stop long shot was towards the near corner. Jump to the other end.

However, what he lacks most now is time, plus Tang Zheng's shot is very powerful, the football flies towards the near corner of the goal like a fired shell.

A few tenths later, only the huge cheers of the Chinese fans remained at the Al Sadd Stadium.

Tang Zheng who scored a goal was very excited, he clenched his fists and raised his arms and shouted.

He was somewhat dissatisfied with the Chinese team's home draw with South Korea in the last round. If they don't win the match against Qatar, they will simply not play in the World Cup qualifiers.

※※※

Tang Zheng's goal happened in the 83rd minute of the second half, which meant that there was not much time left for the home team Qatar.

They had no choice but to dispatch all their members to try to equalize the score in the remaining game time.

The Chinese media has studied the qualifying situation of Group A, so why not the Qatari media?

Qatar's biggest rivals are China and Lebanon. If they lose to the Chinese team at home, the difference between them will widen to four points. There is still half of the group stage left, so it will be somewhat difficult to catch up.

However, the 0:1 score continued until the end of the game without any change. In the end, the Chinese team beat Qatar 1:0 in the away game.

It is worth mentioning that in another group match that was held at the same time, Australia, which had two draws and one loss in the group three games, beat South Korea 1-0 at home, so the Chinese media and fans keenly realized that the Chinese team actually ranked in the middle of the group match. First in group A!

The match between the Chinese team and the Qatar team had just ended, and the news of Australia's home defeat to South Korea came. Tang Zheng had a rare smile on his face, because he knew what it meant to get eight points for more than half of the group...

Before the start of the World Cup qualifiers, the domestic media calculated for the Chinese team, with around 14 points, it is even possible to directly qualify for the World Cup in Brazil as the second place in the group.

Now scoring eight points in the middle of the group stage is equivalent to saying that you only need to score six points in the second half to qualify!

The Chinese team's two victories in the first half of the game came from away games, and the winners were still direct competitors!

Beat Lebanon and Qatar respectively!

It is equivalent to saying that the Chinese team has a high probability of winning Lebanon and Qatar in the two games played in the second half, so as to get six points that are related to qualifying.

The relatively difficult game for the Chinese team is a guest against Australia and South Korea. If there is a little carelessness, it is very likely to end in a loss.

But if the Chinese team beat Lebanon and Qatar at two home games respectively, the points can reach 14 points.

Leaving aside the direct promotion quota, it shouldn't be a problem to get the third place in the group, right?

Besides, there may not be no hope of directly advancing.

Tang Zheng, who led the Chinese team to win an away game, was the same as in the past. He hurried back to the locker room to take a shower after thanking the team with the national team teammates, then went to the hotel where he stayed to pack his things, and then took the flight back to Germany to prepare for the game. Ruhr Derby.

Dortmund is currently in a very dangerous situation. They have only scored 12 points in the past seven rounds of the league. Bayern is a full nine points behind. The next home game will face the challenge of Schalke O4.

I have to say, this is a fierce battle!

※※※

Tang Zheng sat on the Emirates flight to Cologne, Germany. He took out his mobile phone very comfortably, connected to iFi, and browsed the latest Asian football news. After all, it was the World Cup Asian qualifiers.

In Group A, the Chinese team ranked first with eight points in four games, two wins, two draws, South Korea ranked second with seven points in four games, two wins, one draw and one loss, Australia ranked third with five points in one win, two draws and one loss, and Qatar ranked third. With one win, one draw, two losses and four points, Lebanon ranked fifth with three points.

From the perspective of the points situation, all five teams have the possibility of advancing, so the overall situation is relatively chaotic, which means that the second half of the competition cannot afford to lose.

But Tang Zheng didn't think too much, he was mentally prepared when the Chinese team entered the top ten in Asia, at most they could compete for the third round of a group, as for whether they could qualify for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, it would depend on luck.

It's good now, with eight points in four games.

He continued to look down and saw an article about the regular calculation of the National Football Team's promotion to the World Cup. Tang Zheng felt a little excited.

At present, the first half of the 2o14 Brazil World Cup Asian Top Ten Tournament is over. The Chinese team ranks first in the group with eight points, South Korea ranks second with seven points, Australia ranks third with five points, and Qatar ranks fourth with four points. , Lebanon ranked bottom of the group with three points.

The biggest favorites to qualify in Group A are undoubtedly Australia and South Korea, but in the second half they still have a round with each other, which means that only one of the two teams can get 12 points, and the other can get 9 points.

First count the South Korean team with 12 points, and at that time it will be 19 points, and Australia will have 9 points and 14 points.

In this case, if the Chinese team wins Lebanon and Qatar at home, it will still have 14 points, and then the competition will be the goal difference.

In addition, based on Australia's 12 points, they will get 17 points, and South Korea's 9 points will be 16 points. That is to say, the Chinese team with 14 points still has play-offs to play.

Besides, does the Chinese team really have no chance to score at home in South Korea and Australia?

Will Lebanon and Qatar give South Korea and Australia the win they want?

The result has to be marked with a big question mark, which means that the Chinese team has a great chance to win the promotion directly!

What could be more exciting than an unexpected surprise?

After reading the news, Tang Zheng closed his eyes in satisfaction, recuperated...
