Vol 3 Chapter 178: Group 1

Qatar really didn't expect them to be chased back by the Chinese team in the second half when they led by two goals in the first half...
A draw was of little significance to them. The Uzbekistan game that was completed earlier, this Central Asian team defeated Kuwait 2-1. While sending Kuwait out early, it also allowed them to qualify from the group in advance.
If Qatar eventually draws with the Chinese team, the Chinese team scores four points and they only have one point. So in the final round of group games, as long as the Chinese team does not lose to Uzbekistan, no matter what the match between Qatar and Kuwait will be, they will qualify from this group, and Qatar will be eliminated with the Kuwaiti pair of West Asian brothers.
This is certainly not acceptable to Qatar.
So after the game restarted, they launched a fierce offensive against the Chinese team's goal, hoping to kill the Chinese team at the last moment.
Those familiar with Zhou Yi are well aware that this situation is simply Zhou Yi's favorite!
In the 87th minute, Zhou Yi made a long pass in the backcourt and accurately found Hao Junmin. The latter took the ball and ran to the goal of Qatar. Then after entering the penalty area and attracting almost all Qatar defensive players, the football was passed across.
Deng Zhuoxiang, who cut in from the other side, was completely unmarked, and in front of him, most of the goals were empty!
He faced the football and swept sideways, so the football rolled into Qatar's goal...
Undisputed and impeccable, absolutely impossible to pick out the textbook-like classic counterattack from the fault!
The referee Jin Dongjin can only point his finger to the middle circle, indicating that the goal is valid!
"Ah! The goal is scored! The goal is scored! The lore! This is the lore! In the 87th minute, Deng Zhuoxiang scored a lore against Qatar!!" Liu Hong roared excitedly, although it was already two in the morning Clicked, but did not scare anyone, because at this time in China, the fans roared louder than him.
Every fan knows what this victory means-they will get the group qualifying right in advance!
In 2007, four years ago, when the Chinese team’s Asian Cup group stage was eliminated, I don’t know how many fans smashed their home teacups and TV. Vowed never to watch the national football match. From the runner-up in the 2004 Asian Cup to 2007, even the team could not qualify. In just three years, this huge gap is indeed not acceptable to anyone...
※※※
Deng Zhuoxiang ran to the coach seat to celebrate the goal with his teammates and coaches. His hair was wet on his forehead, and there was an excited smile on his face.
Behind him. A Qatar player paralyzed on the ground.
Zhou Yi also ran to the coach seat with his teammates to participate in the celebration.
He could hear boos and curses from Qatari fans in the stands. He raised his fist to the stand that booed the most, and Yaowuyangwei prestige.
※※※
At the last moment, Qatar, who was behind, did not fight back. Stoppage time is up to six minutes.
However, the Chinese team still maintained a one-ball lead, when South Korean referee Jin Dongjin blew the whistle at the end of the match. The Chinese substitute players who had been waiting on the sidelines screamed and rushed to the court to celebrate their elimination of the host on the Qatar site.
Liu Hong and every Chinese audience in front of the TV set have a sense of raising their eyebrows.
It's not just because this game is a reversal to win. What's more, during the game, Qatar's various out-of-board moves really made them feel uncomfortable.
If this is put aside. In the case of two unfair treatments behind two goals in the first half, the Chinese team may have given up. Because it is really a crime to lose the game.
But this time, everyone saw a team that did not give up.
This is probably the most joyful thing for all fans in front of the TV. If a game is just a win. That is nothing more than a three-pointer. But if this victory has more meaning, that meaning is very different.
Through this game, the Chinese team not only scored three points and qualified for qualifying in advance, but also showed their completely different mental outlook.
※※※
Because the Chinese team and Uzbekistan have won two games, the two teams will qualify together. In the eyes of some people, the last game of the Chinese team against Uzbekistan is not so important.
It's great to be able to qualify in small groups, so why think more?
But Zhou Yi doesn't think so.
He still has to win the first place in the group. He didn’t do this to avoid Japan, because it’s not easy to say in Japan that they will get the group number in the end.
It is simply out of the idea of ​​"why get the group first and why the group second".
The Japanese team defeated Syria 2-1 in the second game of the group. They both scored four points with Jordan. The goal difference is the same. It is not easy to say that the Japanese team is the number one in the end.
In fact, Uzbekistan has the same idea, want to win the group first, do not want to take the group second. Their reason is just to avoid Japan, which may become the first in the group.
As the most successful team in the history of the Asian Cup, Japan's deterrence in Asian football is still very big, it is an opponent that no one wants to meet.
So in the third round of the group stage, the Chinese team and Uzbekistan actually played very fiercely.
The forward who replaced Gao Lin's starting game in this game was Yu Hai. He took Zhou Yi's pass in the first six minutes of the game and set the first record for the Chinese team.
However, in the next thirty minutes, Uzbekistan's Ahmedov equalized for the team.
Just one minute into the second half, Heinrich took the lead for Uzbekistan and scored a 2-1 lead.
Ten minutes later, in the fifty-sixth minute, the Chinese team received a free kick in the right rib in front of the penalty area. Hao Junmin took the free kick. The football circumvented the human wall and hung straight to the dead end. The Uzbekistan goalkeeper could only watch The ball sighed and watched the football fly to the goal.
The Chinese team equalized!
Then the two sides stalemate.
However, this score is good for the Chinese team. If the score of 2:2 is maintained in the midfield, the two sides will draw a tie. In the case of two teams accumulating seven points, this Asian Cup is so stipulated-first compare the win-loss relationship of two teams with the same points, this is because the two teams tie, so there is no way Than.
Second, look at the goal difference between teams with the same points. Because of a draw, both teams were zero on this item and also tied.
Look at the number of goals scored by teams with the same points. It's also two goals, and it's still a draw.
The fourth step is to see the total goal difference of the teams with the same points in the group stage. In this respect, the Chinese team has an advantage, and this advantage comes from the first group match. After the Chinese team led Kuwait by two goals, Zhou Yi's unremitting efforts, only in that game, China The team has four goal difference goals, and the 3:2 against Qatar gives the Chinese team another goal difference, a total of five goal difference goals. And Uzbekistan? The first game defeated Qatar 2:0, two goal difference goals, the second game was only 2:1 defeated Kuwait, adding up to only three goal difference goals, in the goal difference they lost the Chinese team two goals .
Unless they beat the Chinese team in this game now, they won't get the group first anyway.
The Chinese team has a lot of tactical choices.
In a stalemate, they did not rush to attack, but patiently and Uzbekistan.
If Uzbekistan is not reconciled to such a draw and wants to strengthen the offense to win the game, then Zhou Yi can directly make a long pass in the backcourt, threatening their goal.
It's like the last time Qatar lost the ball.
However, Uzbekistan has no choice. If it does not attack and does not score, the draw is second in the group. Pressing out offensively may of course be scored again by the Chinese team and lose the game, but losing the game is also the second in the group, so the draw and loss are meaningless to Uzbekistan, they only have to win.
If you attack with all your strength, you still have a chance to score a goal, and finally defeat the Chinese team to reverse the victory.
So this is not a multiple choice problem that is difficult to make a choice.
In the following time, the Chinese team was under tremendous pressure, but at the same time, these pressures also contained opportunities.
It's just that the Chinese team didn't grasp... of course, Uzbekistan didn't score.
In the end, the two teams shook hands with a score of 2:2.
The Chinese team took the first place in the group by virtue of the goal difference. Uzbekistan can only be second in the group.
The next day, the final ranking of Group B was also determined.
The Japanese team evaluated the final 5-0 victory over Saudi Arabia, and also relied on the goal difference to squeeze out Jordan and become the first in Group B.
In this way, if the Chinese team and the Japanese team have to meet ~EbookFREE.me~, they can really only wait until the finals-by Zhou Yi.
Uzbekistan is unfortunate to face the powerful Japan in the first round of the knockout.
The opponent of the Chinese team is Jordan.
※※※
Being able to qualify from the group makes Chinese fans very happy.
However, many people feel that the strength of the Chinese team should have qualified from the group stage, which is not worth celebrating and happy.
The two sides also quarreled on the Internet.
Of course, this has nothing to do with the Chinese team, most people are already very satisfied with the performance of the Chinese team in this Asian Cup.
Before the game, the Asian third-rate said that it caused great dissatisfaction, but in fact the Chinese team's performance was quite satisfactory, so everyone didn't care much about the Asian third-rate. The ball will do. Victory is the last word! (To be continued.) Activate new URL
