Starting with playing defensive midfield for Evergrande

Chapter 50: Conca is there, but Muriqui isn't!

Helong Stadium exploded!
Just six days ago, many of the die-hard Chinese national football team fans who came with the team today witnessed firsthand how their team was humiliated by the Thais.

At that moment, these die-hard fans even felt that disbanding this damned national team would solve everything.

However, less than six days later, when the national football team faced another crucial match in the algorithm phase, they rushed to Changsha again as if they had forgotten everything.

Even though they knew that, facing a strong Iraqi team, the Chinese national football team would likely be humiliated once again.

However.
Just as all the fans were anxiously praying that the national football team could win even a single point!
No one expected that the game would only last for less than 10 seconds!

Su Hao, who made a stunning lob in his AFC Champions League debut for Guangzhou Evergrande, has once again unleashed a super shot that can only be described as violent and aesthetically pleasing!
"Roar!!!"

“Awesome!!!”

"Awesome!!!!"

More than 50,000 Chinese football fans, dressed in red jerseys, began their frenzied roar at Helong Stadium.

And on the field!

The moment I watched as my own shot went into the net.

Su Hao was so excited that he ripped off his jersey and rushed to the sidelines.

It's different from the Chinese Super League or the AFC Champions League!
Wearing this bright red national team jersey, and being able to kick the ball like that right at the start of the game, Su Hao's blood was indeed boiling.

Behind him, Zheng Zhi, Hao Junmin, Gao Lin, Yu Dabao, Zhang Linpeng, and even Zeng Cheng on the other side of the goal rushed over like madmen.

These people have been holding back so much anger during these past few days of intensive training!
"10.04 seconds, a new record has been set!"

"Su Hao's starting position already broke the records for the youngest appearance and the youngest starter in the Asian Cup!"

"This is another record for the fastest goal in the Asian Cup, and he also got the record for the youngest goal scorer in the Asian Cup!"

"That powerful shot was really satisfying!"

"I was so angry during the 1-5 game that I smashed the TV in the house."

After his roaring began, commentator Lao Huang in the commentary booth seriously started explaining to the fans which records Su Hao had broken.

And not far in front of him.

Fu Bo, the acting head coach of the Chinese national football team, who hadn't slept more than 12 hours in six days, finally breathed a sigh of relief after Su Hao's powerful shot.

Although it's only just begun, Fu Bo has a vague feeling that the national football team today seems completely different from before!

The celebrations by the Chinese national football team players finally ended after a while.

He angrily ripped off his jersey!

After the celebration, Su Hao naturally received a yellow gem God of War card.

"Haha, that kid Su Hao!"

"Another record! The youngest player to receive a yellow card in the Asian Cup!"

The game begins again!
Having conceded a goal at the start of the game, the Iraqi players, who had previously confidently declared they would easily defeat the Chinese team and secure three points, unsurprisingly launched a strong counterattack.

On the sidelines, Furado waved his hands, pointing towards the heart of the Chinese team's midfield.

Having a deep understanding of every player on the current Chinese team, Furado knows very well what the Chinese team's biggest weakness is!
Poor defensive positioning!

And coincidentally, his squad includes Saher Hassan, a versatile midfielder who ranks among the best in Asia.

If Iraq can successfully advance into the heart of China's midfield, Sahel Hassan can create scoring opportunities for Younis and the two wingers.

That's what Furado thought, and naturally, that's what the Iraqi players on the field did as well.

Karal Jassim and Sahel Hassan, the two golden duo, didn't even consider leaving one of them to play behind, and both of them crossed the center line directly.

And then there's attacking midfielder Havar Mulla!

In an instant, Iraq surrounded all 11 members of the Chinese team in their own half of the field.

However, as Furado knew, so did Fu Bo.

Then, one launched an attack, while the other gestured for the entire team to regroup.

The situation instantly became tense.

9th minute of the match!

After failing to find opportunities for a long time, the Iraqi team tried to create chances on the flanks. Nashat Akram used his physical advantage to push past Sun Xiang and then sent a long pass to his own captain in the middle.

However, Feng Xiaoting was prepared and headed the ball out of the penalty area in advance!

And so, after a full twenty minutes of intense play, Iraq's best chance of the game came!

23th minute of the match!

Attacking midfielder Havar Mulla once again skillfully dribbled the ball forward, and whenever a Chinese player pressed him, Havar Mulla would immediately engage in one-two or two-two passes with his two teammates.

Moreover, after completing a 16-foot pass.

Sahr Hassan, who received the ball once again, finally found the huge gap that suddenly appeared on the left flank of the Chinese team because Sun Xiang blindly participated in the central defense!

A long pass!
Sahr Hassan delivered the ball with pinpoint accuracy.

Iraqi full-back Ali Adnan, making a run from the back, controlled the ball with his right foot and burst into the penalty area!

"That ball is dangerous!"

"Ali Adnan is very fast!!!"

"Feng Xiaoting is going for the gun!"

"This forced Ali Adnan to pull the ball to the wing!"

"Sun Xiang filled in the gap!"

"Ali Adnan didn't hesitate and immediately delivered a cross-legged kick!!!"

"Hey, great shot!!!"

"Zheng Zhi!"

"The moment Younis shot, Zheng Zhi threw his entire body out of the way."

"It was with this one tackle that Zheng Zhi successfully saved Younis' shot!"

"The ball has fallen to Su Hao's feet!"

On the field!
While more than 50,000 fans were terrified into silence by Iraq's surprise attack.

Having received the ball, Su Hao immediately chipped a high-quality long pass with his right foot!

Forward!

Gao Lin, who has seen Su Mu and Cai Hong connect so many times in club matches and training, has never actually teamed up with Su Hao.

But even if you've never eaten pork, you've at least seen pigs run!
Su Hao raised his leg, and all you have to do is rush forward and you'll definitely get the ball. This is a truth that has been proven by everyone within the Evergrande club!
Sure enough, Gao Lin had only been sprinting wildly for a short while when Su Hao's long pass landed steadily in front of him.

comfortable!
Gao Lin didn't even need to adjust; he simply tapped the ball with his right foot and charged into the Iraqi penalty area.

"Gao Lin!!!"

"He's one-on-one with the opponent!!!"

"Su Hao's long pass was absolutely brilliant!"

"He's past the deep-lying Iraqi center-back Bassim Abbas, and he's also past Salam Shakir!!!"

"Goalkeeper Noel Sabri is coming out of the penalty area!!"

"Gao Lin flicks the ball to the right."

"oops!!!"

"This ball!!!"

"That ball! Gao Lin's touch was a bit too heavy!"

"Although he did get past the goalkeeper, before Gao Lin could catch up with the ball, Iraqi right-back Ali Adnan, who was coming to cover, had already poked the ball out of bounds!"

"Gao Lin!!!"

"If it were Muriqui or Elkeson, that would have been a sure goal!"

Seeing Su Hao's world-class lob pass go to waste by Gao Feiji, commentator Lao Huang in the commentary booth was so angry that he slammed his fist on the table.

The more than 50,000 Chinese football fans in the stands, who had already stood up and were about to cheer a second time, all sat back down in anger!
As for Gao Lin, who missed such a good opportunity...
This guy wasn't embarrassed at all. He just turned around, clapped his hands at Su Hao, and called for his teammates to come up and prepare to take a corner kick!
Cough cough, single blade not advancing.
This is abnormal!
