Chapter 271 Iraq

"Friends from the audience, it is ten o'clock on the night of the New Year's Eve, and the first match between the Chinese team and the Iraqi team in the top 10 of the 20 South African World Preliminaries in Asia will start in half an hour.

I am the host Liu Jianhong. We are honored to invite the famous players Shao Jiayi and Zhang Lu as our guest commentators today. "

"Viewers, I am Shao Jiayi and I am Zhang Lu.

On behalf of all the staff of Yangma Sports Group, we wish you New Year greetings. "

"Jiayi, you didn't go to Dubai because of your injury, how is your injury?"

"Thank you to my friends who have always cared about me. I will definitely play in the next game against Australia."

"Then we're all relieved, let's talk about tonight's game."

"In half an hour, the Chinese team will challenge the Asian Cup champion Iraq at the Rashid Stadium in Dubai, UAE.

The situation of the Chinese team in the top 20 groupings of the qualifiers is extremely severe, and the significance of the first match can be said to directly point to the prospect of promotion.

Head coach Du Yi and executive coach Folado set a small goal for the Chinese team to "keep a tie and win" before the game, and formed a 532 lineup with the word "defense" in this game.

The three central defenders Li Weifeng, Xu Yunlong, and Feng Xiaoting all appeared on the stage. Zheng Zhi and Sun Jihi played double midfielders. World Footballer Xia Qi played forward midfielders. Did not travel with the team.

According to previous reports, the boys of the national football team have prepared gifts for the people of the whole country. Please allow us to keep it a secret.

Now let’s announce the lineups of the two teams. The Chinese team has a 532 lineup: the goalkeeper...

Iraq lineup:
Goalkeeper: No. 12 Sabury
Defenders: No. 14 Abdul Emir, No. 2 Zalem, No. 4 Shaker, No. 3 Abbas
Midfielders: No. 18 Kerim, No. 5 Akram, No. 9 Cousse, No. 11 Hawal
Forwards: No. 10 Younis, No. 13 Caral"

"Jiayi, what do you think of this game as a member of the national football team?"

"From the perspective of historical record, our strength is the worst. For us, Group A is the group of death. Among them, the two heroes of West Asia have destroyed the Chinese dream three times. Australia is the strongest group of death."

"Won't Xia Qi's joining also change the pattern of death?"

"Xia Qi's joining will definitely improve our strength. His joining can solve the problems in the frontcourt and make Zheng Zhi and Hai Bing's waist stronger. Oh, I'm sorry Hai Bing was injured during training.

But football is a team sport after all, and Xia Qi has just joined the national football team, so we should not put too much pressure on him. "

"In other words, after Xia Qi joins, our Chinese team is still the weakest in the group?"

"Objectively speaking, it is like this."

"Now let's take a look at the game. The players from both sides are singing the national anthem. Even though it's New Year's Eve today, many fans traveled thousands of miles to Dubai to cheer for the Chinese team."

beep!
"The match has begun! The Chinese team wears white jerseys, while Iraq wears green jerseys. The home team Iraq kicks off first."

Iraq kicked off the ball first and made a pass from the backcourt. Its leader Younis suddenly went forward and was sentenced to offside, but he pretended not to hear the whistle and still completed the shooting action. As a result, he accidentally strained his thigh. Although he was receiving emergency treatment on the sidelines, he could not persist , can only be replaced by No. 16 Mustafa.

"The main striker of the Iraqi team was injured and left the field, which is very beneficial to the Chinese team." Zhang Lu said with a smile: "The shot just now was obviously offside. When the body was not fully warmed up, the forced shot ended up straining myself. Yes, it’s not worth the candle.”

"Stealing a chicken is not worth eating a lot of rice." Shao Jiayi sprinkled salt on the wound.

The situation on the court is very favorable for the Chinese team, but the Chinese team is used to being pressed and rubbed on the ground, so it is not as aggressive as Iraq.

Under the pressure of the Iraqis, the Asian football player Zheng Zhi made a mistake in a frantic retreat pass, and was intercepted by the Iraqi right-wing No. 18 Kerim and quickly rushed forward.

Xia Qi chased back all the way to the front of his restricted area, and seeing Li Weifeng ready to tackle him, Xia Qi hurriedly shouted: "Brother Feng, you guard the middle, let me come on the 18th."

Li Weifeng kept staring at Kerim's feet, and when he saw a white player coming to help defend, he thought it was Zhang Shuai.

On the training ground, I knew that Xia Qi was very fast, but I didn't expect it to be so fast. Now is not the time to worry about why the retreat is so timely.

Li Weifeng nodded without coquettishness, and defended Xia Qi.

Kerim knew Xia Qi. He was a very dangerous player whom the head coach told him to be careful. But the West Asians never valued the Chinese team. So what about the World Player of the Year?Isn't it in the light of Real Madrid?

Kerim tried Xia Qi while riding his bicycle, but was intercepted by Xia Qi and immediately launched a counterattack.

"Brother Feng, Xiaoshuai go forward!" Xia Qi yelled after grabbing the ball, there is no way!

The rehearsal with the teammates of the national team has only been done for four or five days, which is not as good as in Real Madrid. Xiaqi needs their forward moves to create more opportunities.

Kerim became annoyed by being intercepted and ignored by Xia Qi, and put his feet behind his back to shovel, but Xia Qi's shovel only hit the air.

Zhang Shuai rushed out immediately when he heard Xia Qi calling for a forward move. He believed in Xia Qi more than the head coach, but Li Weifeng has his own league experience. As a central defender, his duty is to defend the goal rather than assist, so He didn't advance in time.

"Beautiful!" Liu Jianhong, who was in charge of the commentary, shouted.

The Chinese fans at the scene shouted: "Come on, Chinese team!..."

Iraqi midfielder No. 5 Akram saw Xia Qi counterattack and rushed over from the wing to the center. He didn't want to steal the ball at all, but wanted to show some color to this Chinese guy who was far more famous than himself. Knock Xia Qi away.

However, if you think about it too much, if brute force is useful for the top four in the Premier League, you don't need to switch to technical skills.

Xia Qi rushed forward like lightning, and when No. 5 Akram rushed in front of him, he suddenly slammed on the brakes!Let the inertia send Akram away, and then accelerate and start to continue to rush forward.

"The rhythm changes beautifully." Shao Jiayi applauded his teammates.

"Is this movement difficult?" Liu Jianhong asked on behalf of all the friends.

"It looks simple, but it is very difficult. First of all, you have to test your control of strength. If you don't have enough strength, you won't be able to stop at all. Second, dribbling breakthroughs are not running without the ball to ensure that you don't lose the ball. The second is rhythm. It is too early or too late to stop just enough to pass others.”

"This movement looks simple, but it is actually not simple." Zhang Lu concluded.

Xia Qi passed through the midfield. Iraqi defenders No. 14 Abdul Emir and No. 2 Zalem defended Xia Qi in a standard forward and backward defense. They learned from the lessons of their teammates and treated Xia Qi as a European star. Not the "little daughter-in-law" Chinese team members who used to be bullied.

At this time, Zhang Shuai took Xia Qi's position, and Qu Bo and Zhu Ting entered the penalty area with a trident, forming a favorable situation of three against two.

"Qu Bo!" Xia Qi shouted at Qu Bo.

The Iraqi No. 3 Abbas could not understand Chinese. It can be seen that Xia Qi looked at Qu Bo, and Qu Bo approached Xia Qi to prepare to respond. This wave of cooperation was too obvious and very Chinese.

Knowing the plan of the Chinese, Abbas would not let Qu Bo be happy anyway, he tried his best to keep Qu Bo behind him, Zhu Ting also came to this side seeing that Qu Bo was struggling to grab the position.

Zhang Shuai is a central defender. Xia Qi asked him to move forward. Seeing that the enemy and us were both crowded together, the defender's thinking made him feel that his position was the best position. It was obviously empty, so he didn't move. See how my idol Xia Qi handled this attack from the perspective of a bystander.

　I will be on a business trip tomorrow, and I can add as much as I can without saving manuscripts.At present, this book is not well collected and has not yet arrived, but please rest assured that it will never be a eunuch. Friends who like it can rest assured and enter the pit boldly.
