Legendary Godfather

November 11, 2011, Tegucigalpa, Honduras, National Stadium.

What is happening here today is the first round of the 2018 Russia World Cup qualifiers. Honduras faces the Chinese Men’s Football Team at home.

Tong Yi sat in a box in the stands. Next to him were Nian Donglai, Hua Changqing and other leaders of the Chinese Football Association.

Yes, they were still sitting together.

Tong Yi has no intention of avoiding suspicion at this time, because he knows very well that the more you avoid suspicion at this time, the more these media reporters will think that you have something secret in your heart and are covering up. Therefore, Tong Yi is too lazy to pay attention to these media reporters and just be himself.

For this game, Tong Yi naturally hopes that the Chinese men's football team can win.

However, this is an away game and this away game is very difficult.

You have to know that the Honduran fans at the scene are very fanatical. The fans in America are mainly fanatical. Moreover, the security measures and bans at the stadium here are relatively loose. The scene is so popular that many people even climbed onto the protective net and waved flags and shouted.

And there were many people beating the protective net crazily.

Of course, the people outside the stadium were even more enthusiastic and enthusiastic, and some even climbed trees to watch the game for free.

It is indeed very difficult to play away games in such a fanatical atmosphere, and the psychological pressure will be relatively high.

And it will also be uncomfortable.

What's more important is the weather. The players of the Chinese men's football team are still a little uncomfortable with it.

Therefore, Tong Yi doesn't know how well the Chinese men's football team can play in this game. However, this game will indeed be difficult!

However, Tong Yi still seems to be full of expectations for this game.

At this time, Nian Donglai suddenly asked, "Director Tong, do you think our Chinese men's football team can win this game?"

To be honest, Nian Donglai and Hua Changqing are really nervous now.

The results of these two games have a very big impact on them, and they are also relatively far-reaching. They attach great importance to these two games, and even Hua Changqing's hands are shaking a little.

When Hua Changqing heard this, he also turned to look at Tong Yi.

Tong Yi smiled bitterly and said, "I'm not a god, how could I know? However, I hope that the Chinese men's football team can win. Even if they can't win, they still have to score an away goal, so that they can be better after returning to the home court." It’s better to kick some more.”

Hua Changqing and Nian Donglai nodded slightly when they heard this. It was indeed like this. Even if they couldn't win, it would be best to score more away goals in this game, so that they would have a greater chance of returning home.

But in this away game, the Chinese men's football team should be more conservative and focus on defensive counterattacks, right?

After all, there is still a home game to play later, and it is easier to relax when returning to the home court. So at this time, it’s better to play it safe and don’t let the second round turn into garbage.

It's time. In this game, it is about keeping hope, and even making this hope become bigger and bigger.

Honduras is playing at home, and the fans want the team to play more unrestrainedly!

But to be honest, most of Honduras' tactics are based on defensive counterattacks, and their defensive players are very capable. Moreover, the frontcourt players are all known for their speed and are very threatening in counterattacks. However, their foot skills are not very refined, and are even a bit rough, so they cannot play football that focuses on passing and controlling.

So, Honduras should also be defensive and counterattacking in this game, right?

Moreover, in this game, their core players Elis and Menor Figueroa are both suspended, so their strength is greatly reduced. This should strengthen their defensive tactics, right?

However, this is their home court, so they may have some different ideas.

Sure enough, after the game started, Honduras played very unrestrainedly, and they focused all their energy on offense. Maybe they think that Honduras is stronger than the Chinese men's football team. After all, they have entered the top 32 in two consecutive World Cups, and the Chinese men's football team has not participated in the World Cup for many years. They think they beat China. There shouldn’t be any big problems with men’s football, right?

Therefore, at the beginning of the game, Honduras played very proactively and attacked fiercely.

And Yuan Zhen's prediction of Honduras' tactics for this game was very accurate. The Chinese Men's Football Team set up a defensive counterattack. Therefore, Honduras seems to be attacking hard all the time, but there are really not many opportunities. The main reason is that they are rough and can't fight with too fine offensive coordination.

However, Honduras' personal abilities are still outstanding.

Because their physical fitness is very good, they mostly fight alone.

In addition, the two wingers frequently kicked the ball, which threatened the goal of the Chinese men's football team. The Chinese fans who came from afar to see this were very worried and nervous. It looked like they were about to lose the ball.

Hua Changqing and Nian Donglai were restless.

However, Tong Yi is relatively calm.

Don't look at the fact that Honduras played with great enthusiasm in the first half of the game, and it seemed that they suppressed the Chinese men's football team. But there are not many substantial threats, and there is only one chance to truly threaten the Chinese men's football goal. That time goalkeeper Yan Yanlin committed a crime, firmly holding the football under his body.

In the first half of the game, the Chinese men's football team got two very good counterattack opportunities.

If these two opportunities are grasped well, the Chinese men's football team is now in the lead.

One of the times was when Wu Lei himself made a mistake, and his old habit recurred. He actually hit a single ball.

Off. The second time, the opponent's goalkeeper Escobe showed bravery, reaching to the side at lightning speed to block the Chinese men's football team Yan Yufeng's shot from the bottom line.

Yes, Yan Yufeng, a young Chinese player from Crystal Palace, appeared on the starting list in this game.

Yuan Zhen is really bold!

However, Yan Yufeng did perform well in the Crystal Palace during this period. Although he plays as a substitute most of the time, he is really not bad and is good among Chinese men's football players. Yuan Zhen didn't care about Yan Yufeng's youth and directly entrusted him with important tasks.

Don't tell me that Yan Yufeng is really doing well.

Because Yan Yufeng has obvious characteristics, such as fast speed, balanced left and right feet, and a good passing ability. The only thing missing is his shooting skills and experience.

However, this is quite explosive in the Chinese men's football team.

That's why he became the starter of the Chinese men's football team at such a young age.

Of course, this is mainly due to the courage of the head coach of the Chinese Men's Football Team, Yuan Zhenyou, and the unconditional support of Yuan Zhen from senior management Nian Donglai Hua Changqing. Otherwise, players like Yan Yufeng would not be able to enter the Chinese men's football team and start the starting lineup so quickly.

In this half of the game, Yan Yufeng's performance was good.

It's a pity that he didn't seize the opportunity with that shot. If his shooting skills were better, the ball might have broken through the Honduras goal.

This is really a pity!

It is precisely because of these two counterattacks by the Chinese Men's Football Team that the Hondurans have calmed down a lot. They really don't dare to attack unscrupulously anymore. They are also afraid of the Chinese Men's Football Team's counterattacks.

Therefore, at the end of the second half of the first half, both teams played a little more restrained and tacit understanding.

Seeing this, the Honduran fans at the scene couldn't accept it. They all criticized the players in the stadium crazily and expressed their dissatisfaction. They were part of the team's crazy attack.

After all, you can't beat the Chinese Men's Football Team at your home court. Do you still expect to beat the Chinese Men's Football Team in an away game?

Come on, attack and win this game.

The Honduran fans couldn't wait any longer and jumped up and down in the stands, putting pressure on the players like crazy.

It is a pity that the Honduran players did not attack rashly.

Therefore, the first half of the game ended peacefully, with the score being zero to zero.

For this half, Tong Yi was quite satisfied. Yuan Zhen's tactics were well formulated. If it weren't for bad luck, it would be impossible to say that the Chinese men's football team would have taken the lead now and could play well.

In this regard, Yuan Zhen did a better job than the opponent's coach, so overall, the Chinese men's football team playing away games did not suffer. It is beneficial for the Chinese men's football team to continue playing like this. Of course, Tong Yi still hopes that the Chinese men's football team will score goals. After all, there are visitors.

The style of play will be different between scoring at home and without away goals, and the mentality will be different.

Therefore, the second half of the game is very important, try to score as much as possible.

During the halftime break, Tong Yi also expressed his thoughts to Nian Donglai and Hua Changqing. The Chinese men's football team is currently playing well. If there are no surprises in the second half, the result of this game will not be good. It will disappoint them.

Nian Donglai and Hua Changqing became happy.

However, Tong Yi also showed that judging from the performance of the two teams in the first half of the game, the two teams may not be able to decide the winner until they return to the home court of the Chinese Men's Football Team. Nian Donglai and the two said that it was okay, as long as the Chinese men's football team could get a bargain in this game. When they returned to the home court, their Chinese men's football team should not be disappointed with Honduras.

Tong Yi nodded slightly and thought so.

Soon the second half of the game between the two sides began.

In the second half of the game, Honduras played a little more violently than in the first half. Obviously during the halftime break, the opposing head coach asked them to play more proactively in the second half. They hoped that the team could score in the second half and win the second half.

The home court is very important to Honduras, so it must be won.

Therefore, Honduras played very fiercely in the second half of the game.

Tong Yi had expected this, and it seemed that Yuan Zhen had also expected it. In the second half of the game, the Chinese men's football team strengthened its defense, so currently Honduras is playing very fiercely and has some shooting opportunities, but most of them are long shots or No. 4 headers.

However, the Hondurans do have the potential to be talented. Their long-range shooting ability is really magical, and sometimes the long-range shooting is very accurate. Therefore, the Chinese men's football team played quite hard during this period, and the defense was also very hard, preventing the Hondurans from easily taking long shots.

Honduras was really almost unlucky. There were two good opportunities in the second half of the game, but unfortunately they failed to score the goal of the Chinese men's football team. This made the fans in Honduras feel very regretful.

The Chinese men's football team also missed a very, very good opportunity in the second half of the game.

This time it was not a counterattack, but a chance for a corner kick.

Yan Yufeng's corner kick went directly to the back post. Zhang Linpeng, who was in the back post, just jumped up and shook his head to attack the goal. The football actually hit the goal post and bounced out of the baseline.

This should be the closest opportunity for both sides to score a goal.

It's a pity that the Chinese men's football team's luck was not particularly good, and the goal was not scored.

In the end, the two sides ended in a 0-0 draw at home in Honduras. The Chinese men's football team also failed to complete the task and did not score an away goal. But if you think about it carefully, this result is acceptable. Next, the two sides will return to the home court of the Chinese Men's Football Team to decide the outcome.
