Chapter 362 Defending Dignity
Due to a sudden injury, Midu from Red Owl of the Demon City was not selected for this competition. Pu Tingfeng from St. Fridhom was selected instead.

Counting Gao Feijie and Tang Hai who were selected for the first time, there are 4 players from St. Friedhom in the national team this time, which is the most since the establishment of this team.

This is also the first time that the "Ocean Aircraft" combination has been selected together. They have performed very well recently and are expected to usher in the same competition in the national team.

In the recent national team lineup, in addition to selecting players who have performed well in the domestic league, Cheng Youcheng has also begun to recruit young players who have played abroad.

The average age of the Chinese team is getting younger and younger. The outside world believes that Cheng Youcheng's approach has advantages and disadvantages. The status of young players is the easiest to fluctuate.

Such and such voices, support, doubts, opposition, etc., cannot be an obstacle to the selection of the head coach.

"In daily work, some people are forced to throw their dignity on the ground, sorry for themselves." Cheng Youcheng was doing the final mobilization before the game, "They have no choice but to live, but today, this is football. It's a game, it's home, we have to defend our own dignity."

"Be yourself, play the game well, and put all your talents into this game!" Cheng Youcheng stretched out his hand, motioning for everyone to get together, "Come on, come on!"

In the locker room, there seemed to be several giant dragons roaring, and the Chinese team showed their most majestic momentum.

Today's game will be held at the home stadium of the Red Owl.Wherever there is a Chinese team, there will be active red.

This is another "battle of life and death", and the danger level of the game must be higher than that of the first round of the two sides.

The formation of the Chinese team is 433, and there is no change in the personnel in the midfield. The biggest change is in the frontcourt trio, consisting of Kong Pengyu, Wan Xiaojiang, and Meng Hezhou. This is the youngest striker combination of the Chinese team in recent years.

Since Cheng Youcheng took over the position of head coach, he has been constantly trying to change. The word "most" has appeared more frequently in relation to him and the team he leads.

The Australian team, which has a leading advantage, still has a formation of 442, and personnel adjustments have been made in several positions.

But the most threatening to the Chinese team, or the two forwards, "Little Cahill" and the high center Zambie.

The expressions of the two teams before the game were in stark contrast. The Chinese team's seriousness corresponded to the contented Australian players.

The game started amidst the cheers of the fans. On August 2022, 8, the second round of the play-offs of the Qatar World Cup Asian qualifiers began!

In the 3rd minute of the game, Australia once again launched a fierce offensive relying on Zambi's height advantage.

When No. 8 defensive midfielder Rodriguez took the ball in the middle circle, No. 9 Zambi began to run back, leading away Battelle and opening up a gap in the Chinese team's defense.

Rodriguez was surrounded by the midfield of the Chinese team, and there was interference from Di Xiaoliang. He took advantage of Di Xiaoliang's gap to narrow the distance between the two, and passed an overhead ball.

Zambi, who was running back, took the right time, jumped up, rubbed the ball above his head, and transitioned behind him, and Cahill David, who crossed obliquely, went to meet the ball.

No. 3 Yu Fei's attention was highly concentrated, he kept a close eye on Cahill David, and followed him very closely, temporarily without the speed of the other party.

"I'll go! Awesome!" The fans in the stands sighed.

Just a few steps after Cahill David took the ball, Lin Feizhuo rushed over and put a shovel, destroying the ball under his feet!

Before this, Lin Feizhuo originally planned to just move his position closer to this side. Yu Fei's running position is very good for him to block the shot, but Cahill David's position and speed are not the best In this state, he rushed over.

The tackled ball reached the feet of No. 17 Liu Rong, the left back. He quickly launched the Chinese team's counterattack and sent the ball directly to Xu Wenli.

Before catching the ball, Xu Wenli made a false shaking of his body, led the ball with his right foot and turned around in one go, avoiding the interference of the defensive players behind him.

After he completed his turn, he quickened his pace towards the Australian penalty area, and rushed forward with the ball.

The supplementary defensive player approached quickly, and the back midfielder Lal leaned against Xu Wenli, constantly interfering with him, and there were still some small movements behind Xu Wenli's back.

Xu Wenli had already deviated from the route facing the penalty area. Xu Wenli, who was forced by the opponent to be a little embarrassed, resisted tenaciously. He suddenly stepped on the ball and stopped himself. After sending the ball to the right, he lost his center of gravity and fell down.

The ball penetrated the defensive line, and Xu Wenli's pause before passing the ball was quite critical. This pause caused the defenders on the left side of the Australian team to have a very brief negligence.

Kong Pengyu seized this brief negligence, quickly rushed forward to catch the ball, and broke into the penalty area with the ball.

The Australian team's central defender Boris rushed over, trying to squeeze Kong Pengyu's possession of the ball, and the two collided shoulder to shoulder.

This collision almost caused Kong Pengyu to stumble and fall to the ground. Seeing this scene, his teammates started to complain to the referee.

Kong Pengyu was very focused, did not let the ball out of his control, passed the ball quickly, was hit by the opponent again, and both fell to the ground.

The ball was passed to the back point, and Wan Xiaojiang, who was plugged in on the left, adjusted his steps and chose to push and shoot!
The ball is blocked!William Hurd reacted quickly, opened his arms, quickly went to the ground, and blocked the ball!
The attacks on both sides were finally resolved by the goalkeepers of both sides, as if they had become a solo performance of the two.

"Oh!" Wan Xiaojiang's mouth became an O shape, and his hands rested on his cheeks, like the famous painting of shouting.

Regrettably, everyone began to return to their posts. At the beginning of the game, they showed a high level of state.

"Be careful, don't let their forwards get too far away from us." William Hurd reminded several defenders.

The seemingly relaxed Australian team was also forced to get serious by the current state of the Chinese team.
