Chapter 149 First Chance, First Attack, First Goal

"The most critical battle, win Iraq, half a foot into the top ten! "

This is a news report released by the official media on October 10.

Before the game, the domestic media made all kinds of predictions, both positive and negative, but there is one point that both sides agree with, that is, if the game against Iraq can also be won completely, then the national football team will basically have only half a foot. Made it to the top ten.

After the official media spoke out, the media that were not optimistic also quickly changed their tone and cheered for the national team.

But the members of the national team, who are currently in a state of closed training, have no intention of paying attention to outside public opinion at all.

In the previous player meeting, Li Mo took the initiative to speak, which deeply touched the old and new players.

"Win the game, we can win everything. Competitive sports have always been about results. We don't look at what happened in the past. Now we want to go to the position we should go and reverse the reputation of the national team. Just one word, fight!"

Regardless of whether our strength is stronger than our opponents or weaker than them, I have only one expectation for our team, fight to the end!At the end of the fight, no one can stand on the field between the opponent and us, which proves that we have tried our best!
It’s not scary to try our best to lose, we’ll do it again, but if anyone doesn’t fight hard, then I won’t see the concept of brothers and seniors anymore, so I will just hate them if I have to. Brothers and seniors, please think about it, let’s What was the purpose of joining the national team in the first place? After so many years of scolding, it’s been almost ten years since I’ve been sick. It’s time to grit your teeth and fight it out! ! ! "

This is the first time Li Mo said such a serious word, but no one dared to express dissatisfaction in front of him in terms of seniority, and now several big shots in the team are on Li Mo's side, and what Li Mo said also touched their hearts .

Now the starters in the national team are basically young people. Who doesn’t want to win when they join the national team?
Although some of them have only played for the national team for a year or two, it stands to reason that they were not responsible for the national team in the past, but now that everyone is in the same team, their value has increased, and their reputation has risen, so naturally It should also carry the dark history of the past.

It has been almost ten years since the last time we entered the World Cup, and the national team has also been good for ten years. It is time to fight hard!

After gathering morale, everyone consciously stopped paying attention to the outside news, trained hard, and fought for positions. On October 10, they were liberated from the completely closed state.

Director Gao dragged the members of the coaching staff to formulate tactics for several days. Although he felt mentally tired, his heart was open at the moment.

The construction of the team is now in charge of Li Mo and a few old players, and he is responsible for the adjustment of tactics. When playing Jordan, the simple tactics of finding Li Mo proved to be very practical in the Asian arena. He is only here now. Add something new to a simple tactic.

For example, strengthening the combination of side and center, emphasizing the use of full backs, and designing a few fixed sets of routines for passing the ball from the midfield to find Li Mo.

It's not that he doesn't want to play more tactics. Although this group of players is good now, except for a few of them, the tactical thinking instilled in them by the coach since childhood is very simple, and it is easy to mess up when they play complicated.

Before Li Mo entered the national team, he was almost fired after leading the Asian Cup. He couldn't play what he wanted, so it's better to keep it simple and let the food go.

The backcourt protects Hao Junmin's ball, and the frontcourt plays around Li Mo. Even other teams know this tactic, but they can't solve it, because the personal strength of Li Mo and Hao Junmin is no longer at the Asian level. Strength crushing, it's that simple.

The evening of July 10.

Shenzhen Sports Center Stadium.

This new stadium, which has just hosted the World University Games, welcomed more than 5 fans.

The recovery of the national team's state and Li Mo's performance brought the football craze back to this land.

Countless fans who didn't get a ticket are also gathered outside the venue at this moment, wearing fiery red national team jerseys, holding national flags or cheering signs, waiting for the game to start.

There are many complaints among them, there is no way, there are only so many tickets, and they were sold out almost instantly when the tickets were released before. The fans in Shenzhen are really too enthusiastic, and there are already many Premier League fans here in Guangdong. Everyone They all want to see Li Mo up close, [-] tickets are not enough.

Fortunately, the staff has placed multiple large screens outside the stadium, which can be regarded as "watching the game live", so let's bear with it this time!
As the game approached, the atmosphere on the scene gradually increased. When the two teams came out to warm up, the fans in the audience cheered passionately in an instant.

This momentum frightened the Iraqi players. There were more than 5 people in the audience, and a momentum of 8 to [-] people was created. It is simply a living Asian version of the Westfalenstadion. For the players of the visiting team, The pressure is too much!

The Huaguo team feels full of confidence. With such an atmosphere at home, what else is there to say, let's fight!
Li Mo gave a thumbs up to the fans in the stands while trotting.

So powerful!

After the warm-up was completed and the two teams returned to the locker room, Director Gao emphasized the tactical play again, telling the players not to panic and play calmly on the field.

Seeing that the time was approaching, Li Weifeng put on the captain's armband and called all the players over. After the routine speech, he asked Li Mo to say a few more words.

Seeing this, Li Mo directly gave a thumbs up, leaned down and looked at the surrounding teammates and said: "After this game, there can only be one result, that is, we sit in the first position in Group A Go! Stay focused, run harder, trust your teammates, Iraq, we're set! Let them know where this is! Let them know who we are! If any team is destined to win, today, it must be us! Do it Smash them!!!"

"Dry, dry, dry!!!"

"Fight!!!"

"come on! Come on!!!"

After roaring to cheer each other up, Li Weifeng took the lead, and everyone walked out of the locker room. The aggressive appearance made the Iraqi players feel the pressure directly.

They originally wanted to try their best to defend Li Mo, and if they couldn't defend, they tried their best to score as many goals as possible for the Huaguo team and try to get points, but looking at the players of the Huaguo team, it seems that it is not easy to score goals today.

After arriving at the point, the two teams walked out of the player channel. With one side determined to win the game and the other worried, after playing the national anthem to each other, the game soon started at the Shenzhen Sports Center.

Today's official commentary is still Liu Jianhong, and the guest is replaced by Xu Yang. The two quickly introduced the starting players of the two teams to the fans.

"Today, the senior director still formed a formation of 4231. Li Mo advanced alone, Yu Hai was on the left, Yu Hanchao was on the right, the front midfielder was Shao Jiayi, and the double midfielders were still Zheng Zhi and Hao Junmin. From left to right in the back line are Sun Xiang, Li Weifeng, Feng Xiaoting and Zhang Linpeng, goalkeeper Yang Zhi."

After Liu Jianhong introduced the Huaguo team's formation and players, Xu Yang continued: "This formation worked very well when we played against Jordan last time. Two full-backs with outstanding personal abilities can create many opportunities for Li Mo. The number of midfielders is sufficient, Xiaohao can control the field, and the protection of the back line by the double midfielders is also in place. It is no problem to continue playing like this.

Today's weather is very cool, there is a little rain during the day, and the venue is no problem at all. I hope the boys of the national team can have a good performance! "

"I still need to pay more attention to the Iraqi captain Younis. This striker has relatively strong personal ability. Don't be careless, come on!"

Accompanied by the voices of the two, amidst the gazes of countless fans and the cheers of the fans on the scene, the players of the Huaguo team began to press the players of the Iraqi team who kicked off first at the moment the whistle sounded!

The player in the back court of the Iraqi team tentatively kicked a big kick forward, wanting to go directly to Younis for a fast break, but Li Weifeng decisively pressed outside the penalty area, competed with Younis for the top, and decisively pushed the football to the top. Back near the middle circle.

The players of the Chinese team directly competed for the ball with the Iraqi team in the midfield.

After playing for a while, many fans found that Li Mo seldom retreated today, and had been standing in front of the two Iraqi midfielders, waiting for his teammates to advance the attack with the ball.

Many fans are therefore worried about the Hua Guo team's midfield possession problem.

After all, when confronting opponents in the midfield before, the players of the Huaguo team would always suffer technically. In the end, the ball was always under the stable control of the Hua Guo team, and the fans were relieved.

"It seems that Director Gao wants to let Li Mo take off the burden today and only be responsible for completing the final blow. Xu Yang, what do you think of this change?"

"Now, it's hard to say, but we can see that Xiao Hao and Jia Yi are very calm in the face of the Iraqi players' pressing, and Zheng Zhi is also stable in holding the ball. If we can maintain this kind of performance and keep possession of the ball If it is successfully delivered to the frontcourt, it will be fine for Li Mo to devote all his energy to attacking, and then it will depend on how the frontcourt players pass the ball to Li Mo."

Xu Yang analyzed it, and the midfielders of the Huaguo team also told the fans with their performance that they are trustworthy today.

Immediately after losing the ball, he started to press on the spot, ran actively, cooperated with each other to intercept, and actively responded to the player with the ball after getting the ball. He played a completely different style from before.

When he was playing against Jordan, Li Mo kept retreating. He was alone doing the work of three people in the frontcourt. Although the scene was smooth, it did consume a lot of his energy.

Today Li Mo stayed at the front honestly. Although he didn't get any chances to shoot in the first 10 minutes, but if he continued to play like this, the Hua Guo team took control of the midfield and gradually pressed forward and began to pass threatening balls into the Iraqi penalty area. It is a foreseeable situation.

By that time, Li Mo, who has hardly consumed much energy, will be the nightmare of the Iraqi team!

"Xiaohao drove forward with the ball! This is Xiaohao's characteristic. Although the position is retreated now, Hao Junmin's technical advantage is enough to support him to dribble forward quickly, and he passed! The pass is beautiful, Yu Hanchao Run behind the Iraqi team!"

In Liu Jianhong's excited commentary, in the No. 16 minute of the first half, Hao Junmin dribbled the ball forward after receiving Shao Jiayi's cross pass. After passing Iraq's midfielder, he suddenly put the ball straight to the right.

Yu Hanchao has started at a high speed, leaving Iraq's front left back far behind. This is the best opportunity for the Hua Guo team since the opening!

In the past, when Yu Hanchao played on the left side, he was still good at cutting inside shots, but today when he played as a right midfielder, Yu Hanchao knew what he should do.

He increased his speed and did not give the Iraqi full-back a chance to catch up with him. When he dribbled the ball to the right side of the Iraqi penalty area, he directly kicked a pass!
Li Mo has been running against Iraq's back line to avoid offside. The moment when Han Chao crossed, he quickly advanced forward. The two central defenders in Iraq knew that Li Mo was the only target of Yu Han Chao's cross. But they can't stop it!
The pass was relatively high, but it landed well. Li Mo had two Iraqi central defenders defending him, but so what?

Finally, he kicked the ground with all his strength, and then Li Mo jumped high. At this time, whoever dares to make small moves to pull him is to give a penalty. The two Iraqi central defenders had no choice but to take off with all their strength, trying to interfere with Li Mo's Header.

But the figure that was a head taller than them made them immediately despair.

Facing the incoming ball, Li Mo swung his head violently, and the Iraqi goalkeeper subconsciously pounced, but the speed of the ball was far beyond his reaction speed, all he pounced on was air, and the football had already hit the net behind him !
"Yu Hanchao's speed is too fast! It's almost to the penalty area! A cross! Li Mo!!! The ball has been scored!!! Go in, go in, go in, go in!!!!!"

"Beautiful!!! Beautiful!!! Beautiful goal!!! The simplest routine, but it can score goals! With Li Mo, it is possible to score goals! Beautiful!!!"

The Shenzhen Sports Center was like a volcanic eruption in an instant. The momentum of more than 5 fans soared into the sky, and even the tens of thousands of fans outside the stadium fell into the carnival!

Before 10 minutes into the game, Li Mo scored a goal with his first run, what a fantastic start, who would believe it! ! !

After scoring the goal, Li Mo ran all the way. He slapped his chest, roared and slid and knelt for nearly ten meters near the corner flag area! ! !

All the players of the Huaguo team roared.Excitedly ran to the front field, towards the area where Li Mo is!

Yu Hanchao was the first to rush over, and like Li Mo, he slid and kneeled passionately near the corner flag area, and then yelled incoherently with his arms around Li Mo: "Awesome! Awesome!! !"

The other Hua Guo players rushed to the frontcourt and immediately overturned the two of them, and then rushed forward one by one!
Without other burdens, Li Mo, who was only responsible for shooting, showed his strength to the fans all over the country with just one attack!
First chance, first goal, first goal!
This is the charm of a big center, the charm of Li Mo!
