Chapter 428 Advancing to the Quarterfinals

On the left side of the frontcourt, Li Yi, who had just returned to defense, had turned back and sprinted forward again.

In the process of running wildly, Li Yi looked back at the football in the air to confirm the position of the football, and at the same time began to adjust the rhythm and pace under his feet.

He briefly estimated the distance between himself and the football, as well as the speed and other factors in his mind, and felt that he didn't need to stop completely to wait for the ball, so he didn't slow down.

When the football flew over, he used the outer instep of his right foot to swipe the football from back to front, and continued to accelerate while sprinting the ball, throwing off the Kuwaiti defender who came to defend him.

As soon as the Kuwaiti right back rushed over, he was quickly thrown away by Li Yi.

After Li Yi got rid of Kuwait's right back, he didn't pass directly at the first time, but dribbled the ball into the penalty area. He wanted to further tear Kuwait's defense.

He didn't send the cross until the No.2 Kuwaiti defender rushed to him.

………………

In front of the Kuwait team, Kuwaiti central defender Nada is inseparable from Yin Jun. Facing the youngest European Ballon d'Or winner in history and the most successful young man in Asian football history, he dare not neglect him in the slightest.

But in this way, Li Jinyu, another striker of the Chinese team, can't control him.

And Li Yi's cross was looking for Li Jinyu. He knew that the opponent must be closely guarding Yin Jun, so Yin Jun's chance is not great, but Li Jinyu has a better chance to shoot.

After Yin Jun took Nada away, Li Jinyu leaped high in the middle, facing the football with a powerful shot to the top!

The distance is short, the speed is fast, and the strength is great. Kuwaiti goalkeeper Kankuni didn't even complete the save action. He just had a jumping action and turned his head to watch the football fly into his goal.

In the last moment of fighting with the ferocious beast, the brave hunter finally stabbed the beast's throat with a knife.No need to worry about Kuwait's indiscriminate bombing anymore, the Chinese team has fundamentally solved the defensive problem.

The Peace and Friendship Stadium fell into silence, only Chinese fans in one corner were reveling recklessly.The Chinese fans in the stands are also very clear that the No.805 minutes goal basically means that the Chinese team has won the game!
After scoring the goal, Li Jinyu also knew that he even took off his jersey and threw it into the sky in excitement. At this time, he didn't care about the rule that he would get a yellow card for undressing celebration, he just wanted to vent his emotions.

It is worth it to get a yellow card for the Chinese team!

………………

"This is a great reversal! The Chinese team finally played a touching reversal!"

"Li Jinyu scored a go-ahead goal, 2:1. Now Kuwait should be very desperate! If they want to regain their advantage, they must score at least two goals for the Chinese team."

"How many years? How many years? We have made mistakes in key games again and again, lost games, staged black nightmares again and again. But tonight, in Kuwait City, we are in an unfavorable situation, and the players finally carry on. Withstand the pressure and reverse the opponent, this is a major reversal that China has rarely seen in recent years."

"Yin Jun, although he only played for a short time, he is the protagonist of this big reversal, and he directed this reversal."

"For this goal, Li Yi assisted and Li Jinyu scored the goal, but without Yin Jun attracting the defensive attention, it would be difficult for Li Jinyu to get such an easy goal."

"What's more, Yin Jun also scored a key goal to tie the game!"

"No one will deny that this young player who is only 19 years old will definitely be the leader of Chinese football in the next ten years. The hope of Chinese football is also the pride of all of us Chinese."

……

Ali Han and assistant De Jong embraced each other after watching Lee Jin Woo score.

Yin Jun's outstanding performance certainly saved the Chinese team, so why not save him?

Alihan is very aware of the problems of the Chinese team, and he is also very clear that this team cannot do without Yin Jun.

Yin Jun is not only the team's biggest player and captain, but also the strongest fighting force of the national team, and is gradually becoming the team's spiritual leader and soul core.

Next, the coaching staff must rely more on Yin Jun to build the national team around him.

………………

Li Jinyu's goal was a fatal blow to Kuwait.Although there are still seven or eight minutes before the end of the game, the Kuwaitis know that their road to the World Cup in Germany has come to an end.

What's the use of scoring another goal?It was nothing more than a draw and served no purpose other than to preserve Kuwait's theoretical hope of advancing.

Moreover, even if the Kuwaitis launch a desperate blow, I don't know if they can break through the Chinese team's goal. Their own goal will definitely be very dangerous, such as the goal just now.

Therefore, after the game restarted, the Kuwaitis' fighting will was significantly weakened.The Chinese team began to control the ball, and controlled the football more at their own feet, so as not to create threats for the Kuwaitis.

In the end, the score of 1:2 was maintained until the end of the game.International practice, the home team first.

………………

When the news that the Chinese team reversed Kuwait's 2:1 away game came back to China, the whole country was jubilant.Because the Chinese team has advanced to the quarter-finals of the German World Cup Asian qualifiers one round ahead of schedule!
The next day, major newspapers across the country rushed to report on this crucial event.

Regarding the performance of the national football team, the media generally believed that Yin Jun's appearance as a substitute was a watershed in the game.Even the head coach of Kuwait said at the press conference after the game that he had done his best and hoped to freeze Yin Jun, but he did not expect Yin Jun to seize the opportunity in succession.

"He had an incredible performance tonight. I can only say that we did not lose to the Chinese team, but to Yin Jun."

The words of the head coach of Kuwait caused widespread reports in the Chinese media. They believed that Yin Jun’s performance and value were fully reflected, but they were also dissatisfied with the performance of the Chinese team before Yin Jun’s appearance. There is no way.

"It's hard for us to believe that this is the football played by an Asian champion team. It has no content at all. It played a few good attacks, but they didn't pose a threat. They have not been able to threaten Kuwait for a long time. On the contrary, on the defensive end, a bad mistake almost ruined the team's hope of qualifying from the group."

"In addition to Sun Xiang, who should be responsible for conceding the goal, the performance of Li Weifeng and Zhang Yuekun is also unsatisfactory. They are like time bombs in the defense line, which may explode at any time and drag the team into the abyss of disaster."
