The Green Superstar

The game in Shenzhen, China, made Iraq aware of the threat of Chinese forward Tang Hong. Today they face the Chinese team in Doha. They naturally regard Tang Hong as their number one enemy and hope to block him in the game.

Zico really studied Tang Hong's performance in the Portuguese Super League before this game. The most important defensive instruction he gave the team was to block the frontier of the penalty area!

Avoid being used by Tang Hong's internal cutting, especially if Tang Hong is in front of the penalty area, whether he shoots, breaks, or passes, there is a huge threat!

Since the Chinese team failed to win Iraq at home, they did not rush to attack when they came to the away game. After all, they still have an advantage in the number of goals.

Try to defend well after the opening.

Iraq's enthusiasm is also very limited, after all, they are not good at proactive offensive team.

When Akram organized the offensive in the midfield, Luo Hongkai was not on the front defensively. After three months in Spain, his tactical literacy improved rapidly, and the requirements of Van der Hill were also well implemented.

Akram is not fully sure of the strong jump, the limitations of the pass are also clear at a glance, the Chinese team has a tight line of defense.

When Qin Rui pressed for the ball from behind, Akram turned to protect the ball and then cut the pass, without giving Luo Hongkai a chance to steal the ball.

Wing midfielder Zahaier walked forward quickly and passed Zhang Linpeng ahead of time.

Zhao Xupi had already retreated into the penalty area and assisted Dai Lin and Feng Xiaoting to block the two Iraqi forwards. Although Iraqi forward Karim won in the key battle, his header was off the mark and did not create a threat.

After all, the Iraqi players have a certain advantage in confrontation.

The attacking rhythm of the Chinese team was not fast. Zheng Zhi passed the ball diagonally from the left side of the backcourt to the left side of the frontcourt. Tang Hong took the back and sent the ball diagonally and sent the football straight to the right side of the frontcourt behind the Iraqi defense line.

Wu Lei quickly followed up the sprint, but it was a pity that when the football landed, he was still half a meter away and failed to control the ball. In the end, he could only watch the football hit the bottom line.

Wu Lei's speed advantage is still clear at a glance, and the picture of full-back Said being thrown off by him when returning to defense is impressive.

On the sidelines, Zico asked the team to play more on the sidelines, and Van der Hill also asked the team to strengthen the defense of the sidelines.

The start of the game is not long, but both teams are trying to find the weakness of their opponents and give play to their own advantages.

In the 11th minute of the game, Dai Lin made a header in the penalty area. The Chinese midfielder had the advantage of numbers and protected the front of the penalty area. Zhao Xuxuan passed the ball to Luo Hongkai, who pulled the ball to dodge the counter-grab from Khalid. It was clean, and then a diagonal pass sent the ball to the front left.

Tang Hong took the initiative to take the ball to the middle zone. Two Iraqi players immediately ran to block him. Tang Hong sent the ball directly to the middle zone before the penalty zone before the opponent got close.

After Qin Rui stopped the ball, he smashed the ball with his left foot to the right in front of defender Hussein, and shot from an angle!

The football went straight to the lower right corner of the goal. The head was good and the strength was enough. But the distance was a little far away to give the goalkeeper time to prepare. After the fast-moving Iraqi goalkeeper Kasde swooped, he barely blocked the ball out of the baseline with a single palm!

Qin Rui did not express any regrets, but the Iraqi generals paid more attention to Qin Rui.

The Chinese fans at the scene expressed their regret with a huge sigh.

Zico began to have an ominous premonition.

They know too little about these new faces of the Chinese team!

In the 16th minute of the game, the Iraqi team organized an offensive in the front court. When Khalid pushed forward along the right, Zheng Zhi assisted the wing and Sun Xiang to complete a beautiful joint defense steal.

After Zheng Zhi turned around, he passed the ball straight to the front left.

Tang Hong, who had been playing the ball for his teammates before, responded to the defense of the full-back Hashim. When the football rolled to the front, he used the toe of his right foot to pick up the ball, and at the same time, he turned around, and the heel lifted the ball forward. .

The football flew over Hasim's head, while Tang Hong flew past him!

Hasim hesitated and did not take a foul, but instead took off and tried to header to clear the siege, but he failed to touch the football!

Tang Hong's back-to-back picking of the ball won him the cheers of the Chinese fans at the scene.

And when he quickly dribbled forward along the left, the Iraqi defender and midfielder immediately returned to the penalty area, and at the same time, they were alert to Tang Hong making a threat in the forefront of the penalty area.

However, Tang Hong seemed to be determined to take the sidewalk. He didn't change to cut inward when he drove the ball to the top corner of the penalty zone. Qin Rui followed up in the middle to outflank and grab the spot, and Wu Lei made a far inward cut!

Although the Chinese team's striker is young, it is very fast!

It is obvious that the Iraqi defense line has been a little flustered.

After Tang Hong drew the ball to the front zone with his left foot, he looked at the front zone of Iraq, hoping that Qin Rui would outflank the goal.

As a result, a jaw-dropping picture appeared!

Iraqi defender Hussein raised his leg in the front point and gently rubbed the ball. The football slightly changed back and flew into the near corner of the goal!

If Hussein is the striker of the Chinese team, then this is definitely an extremely exciting shot!

Hussein knelt in the penalty area and covered his face with his hands!

Tang Hong showed a surprise smile on his face.

Qin Rui rushed towards Tang Hong, Wu Lei looked weird.

The Chinese fans in the stands of the Grand Hamad Stadium are ecstatic!

Although Tang Hong ran to the corner flag area, he faced the field and embraced Qin Rui with open arms. When Wu Lei ran, he said to Tang Hong, "I wanted to learn techniques from you. Are you sure it wasn't magic just now?"

Tang Hong laughed.

"Own goal! Iraq scored an own goal! Tang Hong's cross made Hussein an own goal!

The Chinese team now leads the Iraq team by one goal!

Speaking of which, the Chinese team’s advancing speed is really too fast. After Tang Hong picked the ball and passed Hasim, Qin Rui and Wu Lei also started at the same time, Luo Hongkai was also following up, and the Iraqi defense could only return quickly. withdraw.

They had no time to stand up and adjust the defense. Faced with Tang Hong’s heavy pass, Hussein’s own goal originated from the fact that the clearance action was not completed at all. As soon as he raised his leg, he encountered the football and the ball refracted and flew in. Inside the Iraq goal!

Regardless of whether this is lucky or not, the Chinese team has now made a fantastic start!

Boys, keep working hard, come on! "

Van der Hill looked light on the sidelines, and did not show excitement because of the appearance of the goal, but the Brazilian star Zico frowned.

The Iraqi people will quickly sort out their emotions, and their mentality will change anyway when they face the game again.

The Chinese team is under pressure, so why not Iraq?

If they can't beat the Chinese team, their chances of entering the top ten will also become slim.

Only in the last round in Shenzhen, China, they were able to retreat completely, and they have the advantage in the situation.

But with the appearance of the Chinese team's goal, Iraq's situation has become very bad.

After Iraq kicked off again, the Chinese team insisted on playing steadily, and the defensive end became tougher.

When Luo Hongkai put Axim on the ground, the referee showed him a yellow card.

Not to mention, Luo Hongkai, with a big bald head, was really a bit fierce when he fouled, which is very different from his past temperament.

Iraq is also tougher on the defensive end under the storm.

In the 24th minute of the game, Tang Hong just had the ball on the left side of the frontcourt, and Hasim continued to stretch his leg behind him without doing anything. He kicked the side of his calf with two consecutive kicks. Tang Hong returned the ball. Withdrawal tried to get away from the opponent, but the shirt was pulled by the opponent and the center of gravity became unbalanced and fell to the ground.

When the referee came, Tang Hong pointed to a trace of blood leaking from the outer socks of his left calf. The opponent's shoe spikes scratched his calf.

The Australian coach showed Hashim a yellow card.

Three minutes later, Iraq slammed and attacked. Karim had a header in front of the penalty zone line to find teammate Younis, but Feng Xiaoting stabbed the ball as soon as Younis stopped the ball.

The Iraqi offensive was a bit of a chance.

Zico was anxious on the sidelines. The Chinese team's blockade of the midfielder and active fighting made the Iraqi midfielder Akram unable to play the organizational ability. This prevented the striker from getting firepower, and the Iraqi offensive fell into a quagmire!

In contrast, the offensive threat of the Chinese team is constantly increasing!

In the 31st minute of the game, Tang Hong was attacked by Khalid and Hashim on the left side of the frontcourt. After receiving the pass from Zheng Zhi, he took the ball to the center zone.

Luo Hongkai quickly followed up with the ball to push the offensive momentum. As soon as he entered the offensive zone, he sent a straight pass. Qin Rui drew the ball back two steps from the penalty area line and turned halfway to send the ball into the penalty area right rib.

Wu Lei quickly cut inside to complete the reverse offside, facing a nearly semi-single-handed opportunity, his shot sent the ball to the stands!

Van der Hill tilted his head slightly from the sidelines to reveal a touch of helplessness.

If the opportunity comes out, if you can't grasp it, then any advantage will be glaring.
