host must win

Chapter 520 Decisive Battle Moment
With the decline in the physical fitness of the players on both sides, the Japanese coach Zico began to consider changing tactics.

The current score is 1:1. If the game ends according to this score, the Japanese team is still only 3 points behind the Chinese team, and has an advantage in the mutual confrontation between the two sides.

The next two games of the Japanese team are a guest against North Korea and a home game against Iran.With the strength of the Japanese team, it is not difficult to score these 6 points.In other words, if nothing else, the Japanese team can score 11 points during the group stage.

The Chinese team, which currently ranks first in the group, will score 8 points if they tie today.Next, the Chinese team will go away to challenge the Iranian team, and then play against the North Korean team at home.

According to Zico's prediction, it is difficult for the Chinese team to get out of Iran, but it is not a problem to win the North Korean team at home.In this way, the final points of the Chinese team is likely to be 11 points.

Under such circumstances, the Japanese team is very hopeful to overwhelm the Chinese team, ranking second in the group after Iran with 12 points.

Because of the presence of Yin Jun, the Chinese team may also beat the Iranian team away.That is also a good result for the Japanese team.That means that as long as the Japanese team wins the next two games, they will definitely be able to overwhelm the Iranian team and qualify as second in the group.

Of course, there is also the possibility that the Chinese team will draw with the Iranian team in the away game.In this way, as long as the Chinese team wins North Korea, they can basically ensure that they will advance as the number one in the group.And the Japanese team will compete with the Iranian team for goal difference, and even a mutual record.

In general, the Japanese team's 1:1 draw with the Chinese team in the away game is also an acceptable result.

Is it still necessary for the Japanese team to continue to attack and pursue goals?
From the current point of view, the goalkeeper of the Chinese team is obviously in very good condition. Whether it is Hidetoshi Nakata, Atsushi Yanagizawa, or anyone else, there is no way to break through the gate guarded by him.

Anyway, the Japanese team has worked hard so far, and has achieved nothing except scoring a goal from a penalty kick.

Before Zico planned to let the Japanese team gain an away victory, it seems that it may be very risky to continue to pursue the away game to beat the Chinese team.So he decided to change his strategy and goal, and keep the current score of 1:1 to end the game.

Anyway, we only need to defend for 15 minutes, and the Chinese team also has physical problems.

Thinking of this, he immediately conveyed his adjustment instructions to the players on the field with gestures and whistles on the sidelines: take back the defense!
………………

"The Japanese team actually retreated...Damn it!"

"It's normal. After all, it's not an unacceptable result to draw with us. If you don't take it back at this time, will you press it out and wait for us to fight back?"

"Yin Junyou! Dong Fangzhuo, come on! Shao Jiayi, Zhou Jie, come on! Another goal, just one more goal!"

……

As the Japanese team changed their tactics, many Chinese fans on the Internet also commented one after another, worrying for the Chinese team.

There are only ten minutes left before the end of the game. Can the Chinese team score a goal in the remaining time?
From the current point of view, it cannot be said that there is no chance at all, but the probability is not high.And we also have to worry about being attacked by the Japanese team after the Chinese team makes a big push.If the Chinese team loses today's game, then the promotion situation will not be so good.

The Japanese team's striker Atsushi Yanagisawa is fast and a good counter-attacker, so they do have the ability to attack the Chinese team.

This is what makes the Chinese team particularly uncomfortable.

But the whole Chinese team hopes to win today's home game and lay a solid foundation for the final qualifying.

Compared to going away to fight Iran, it is undoubtedly a better choice to win Japan at home.

Ali Han stood on the sidelines, waving his arms to let the Chinese team press up.Even if the tactical intentions of the opponent's coach will be seen through in this way, it doesn't matter, because this is not a secret at all.

In this way, with a little tragic taste, the Chinese team insisted on continuously attacking the Japanese team's goal when there were physical problems.

………………

"Dong Fangzhuo! He shot before Miyamoto Tsuneyasu! It's a pity that under the interference of Miyamoto Tsuneyasu, he still kicked the football away..."

"Dong Fangzhuo collided with Miyamoto Tsuneyasu in the penalty area. Neither side hit the ball. The football was intercepted by the Japanese goalkeeper Notsu Kawaguchi!"

"Yin Jun shot! Ah! It's a little bigger!"

……

Although the Chinese fans cheered for the Chinese team's offense non-stop in the stands, the Chinese team's offense still failed to score, and the game time was relentlessly passing by every minute and every second.

The Chinese fans at the scene kept casting their eyes on the big screen to see how many minutes were left in the game.

………………

The game has come to No.805 minutes, and there are only 10 minutes left before the end of the regular nine 5 minutes game.

5 minutes to score a goal, no matter how you look at it, there is little hope, but the Chinese fans in the stands did not shut up because of this. As long as the Chinese team gets the ball, they will shout as always.At the same time, if the Japanese players had the ball, there would be boos.

This is not just as simple as wanting to put pressure on the Japanese team players, but really expressing dissatisfaction with the Japanese team players.Seeing that there was not much time left in the game, the players of the Japanese team began to fall frequently on the court. While delaying the time, they also cut a game into fragments and frequently interrupted the offensive rhythm of the Chinese team.

Chinese fans are very dissatisfied with their approach, but they can't jump into the stadium to beat up the Japanese players, and they can only express their anger with boos in the stands.

The players of the Japanese team are all old fritters. They are deaf to the boos in the stands, and they have no influence on them at all. In the end, Atsushi Yanagisawa finished the shot.Fortunately, today's goalkeeper Li Leilei of the Chinese team performed very steadily, flying sideways and shooting the football out of the bottom line.

"Li Leilei made a wonderful save. His outstanding performance may be the biggest confidence that the Chinese team can continue to attack..."

The players of the Japanese team all ran across the half court to participate in this corner kick attack.

For the shrinking defensive Japanese team, their hopes of scoring goals are basically in counterattacks and frontcourt positioning.

As the captain of the team, Miyamoto Hengjing, and the central defender with an excellent header, also pressed in front of the Chinese team.Although the game will end in a few minutes, if the final decision can be made in this corner kick attack, then the team will not have to suffer in the last few minutes.

After all, no one knows what will happen in the final moments of the game.
