Chapter 150: Enter the top ten!

The national football preparations for the World Preliminaries in the Asian region of the third stage of the group stage are attracting attention at the end of the war. On the one hand, it is related to whether the team can reach the top ten matches. Faced with a tie and qualify, it is not one time or two. It will be worrying, on the other hand, Tang Hong's high popularity makes him return to China to fight the fans' attention.
Van der Hill's tactics in the final battle were more conservative.
The situation of qualifying after a tie is a great advantage in the eyes of Europeans, and they cannot take the initiative to put pressure on their defense.
After a short break, the team headed south to Guangzhou. The home stadium of the national team game was set at Guangzhou University City Stadium.
Although there were still vacancies in the stadium at the evening of the match day, the attendance rate was much higher than expected.
Warm-up step by step, everything is ready before the game, the Chinese team and the Jordan team enter the field!
The flags were fluttering in the stands and the gongs and drums were noisy. A considerable number of fans gathered to support Tang Hong and held high banners. They still signed their signature: Hong Fan Family.
Tang Hong, who has scored in the Portuguese Super League, has become the most popular player in Chinese football in less than a year after his debut.
Tang Hong, with his arms wrapped around the captain's armband, exchanged team flags with his opponents, took a group photo before the game, and then everyone stood ready to kick off.
The Chinese team played 4231 today.
Goalkeeper: Zeng Cheng.
Defenders: Zhang Linpeng, Dai Lin, Feng Xiaoting, Sun Xiang.
Midfielder: Zheng Zhi, Luo Hongkai, Zhao Xuqian.
Forwards: Wu Lei, Qin Rui, Tang Hong.
Jordan is still the main force on the stage, but the fighting spirit is doubtful.
The game kicked off with the magnificent cheering of Chinese fans.
The Jordan team fought back defensively, while the Chinese team was slowly controlling the rhythm of the game. Tang Hong's position was not too forward.
The coach has developed tactics and he naturally follows it, otherwise it is easy to take the rhythm off the beaten track.
It’s just that the Chinese team’s pace is too slow and it’s a bit unbelievable. Tang Hong basically takes the ball with one kick, and Luo Hongkai's mid-lane organization is becoming more and more handy. The opportunity created before the goal is unsatisfactory.
Jordan's counterattack is not necessarily threatening. The key is that the Chinese team's defense will be a little nervous. Some of the can obviously be controlled, but they are worried about making mistakes.
There was almost no great picture in the 25 minutes before the game. When the game was approaching 30 minutes, Tang Hong made a continuous breakthrough from the left and sent shells to the middle of the penalty area to shock the Jordan team. Qin Rui's shot was threatened by the defender and broke the baseline.
The Jordan team strengthened the defensive restrictions on Tang Hong, and Tang Hong's running became more active, achieving the effect of containing and tearing the opponent's defense.
Without the support of the midfielders, the Chinese team's offensive to the frontcourt is actually more like the Brazilian team's style of play. The creation and grasp of offensive opportunities must rely on the cooperation between the strikers.
As for the midfield and defense, their ability to stabilize and not lose is the best result.
Towards the end of the first half, Zhang Linpeng's foul to contain the opponent's counterattack seemed a bit redundant, which gave the opponent a chance to set the ball.
Van der Hill frowned on the sidelines to express his dissatisfaction. In fact, he did not expect that the Chinese team would be slightly nervous today!
That's right, especially the midfielders who can't control the ball. They often kick directly out of the sideline when clearing the siege. There is no opponent around them to put pressure on them, but it seems that the football under their feet is a bomb!
If you don't kick it out quickly, you can blow yourself up in the next second!
Jordan's set-piece offense still invested a lot of troops.
When the football hanging into the penalty area was likely to be headered by a Jordanian player, the goalkeeper Zeng Cheng decisively took off and squeezed the ball out at the critical moment!
The resolution of the danger eased the nerves of the national football team a lot.
And then after Wu Lei knocked the ball across the wing outside the penalty area to find Tang Hong, the Chinese team's counterattack was not what the backcourt players were interested in. As long as they were not continuously attacked by the Jordan team, they would have no crisis for the time being.
Tang Hong quickly dribbled forward along the wing and quickly knocked the ball across the middle when confronted by a Jordanian defender. Qin Rui, who followed up, sent a diagonal pass to cooperate with Tang Hong and hit the wall.
When Tang Hong hit the offensive danger zone with the ball, the last two defensive players of the Jordan team were very close to him. Tang Hong decisively sent a pass!
The football flew to the right side of the penalty area, and Wu Lei rushed to it. He stopped the ball and adjusted one step and broke his foot to shoot!
The last time the national team competed in the world preliminaries, Wu Lei, who flew a basket single-handedly, did not disappoint this time. The football blasted straight to the far corner of the goal, and the Jordanian goalkeeper was unable to save!
The Chinese team opened the record!
call!
Van der Hill breathed a sigh of relief, and the situation finally improved.
After Wu Lei broke the goal, he rushed to find Tang Hong and thanked Tang Hong for his assist.
Although he was two years older than Tang Hong, Wu Lei looked a bit like a little brother in front of Tang Hong.
After the celebration, Tang Hong and Qin Rui had a brief exchange.
In today’s situation, it’s very difficult for the Chinese team to create a murderous opportunity in a positional battle. They should be more conservative on the front line. Retreating from the front line can not only strengthen the defense to fulfill Van der Hill’s tactical requirements, but also use their speed when opportunities arise. Advantages exert strength in a wider space.
The first half of the game ended quickly. In the second half, the two teams changed sides to fight again. The Jordan team obviously began to counterattack. It seems that they really want to defeat the Chinese team in the away game to protect Iraq from advancing.
At the same time, Iraq has led Singapore 4:1 in the other game at the same time. There is no suspense to win. If the Chinese team loses to the Jordan team, then Iraq needs more goal difference, so Iraq will attack Singapore in the second half. .
The Chinese team faced greater pressure on the Jordanian counterattacks.
Many inexplicable clearances in the backcourt made the striker feel helpless. I don't know if this method of kicking the ball with a big foot to the frontcourt directly gives the opponent the right to the ball.
When even Zheng Zhi and Zhao Xupi started to do this, Van der Hill looked majestic on the sidelines, berating the players not to blindly make a bigfoot clearance, and then gave Luo Hongkai instructions to let him further retreat!
The backcourt must have a point where the ball can be stabilized, that is, the hub for connecting offense and defense!
Otherwise, don't look at the distance between the striker and the midfielder after the retracement, but it will be meaningless to not be connected.
The situation began to improve after 60 minutes of the game. Luo Hongkai's organizational effect was more obvious after his withdrawal. In addition, Tang Hong also moved more to the middle to connect the offensive, and the Chinese team began to frequently penetrate Jordan's defense.
But Wu Lei flew two more singles!
I don't know if he drifted a little after scoring, or the goal in the first half was an extraordinary performance, and not making a single goal is the real strength.
In the 73rd minute of the game, the Jordan team broke through Zhang Linpeng's defense on the front left and sent a pass. Center forward Hayer grabbed a point and sent the ball into the Chinese team's goal!
The scene suddenly became tense!
Van der Hill decisively replaced Zhang Linpeng with Zhao Hanchun. In terms of strength, Zhang Linpeng should be the first of the right backs of active Chinese players. But I don’t know why it is difficult for him to meet Van der Hill’s expectations on the court. He is more than brave and lacks stability. It is easy. As soon as the brain gets hot, he loses the inside line that the full-back should be the first priority to block!
After the substitution, the Chinese team is still dominated by the Jordanian team. After all, they will be able to qualify after a tie. The Jordanian team has no psychological baggage and it is natural to play more easily.
Seeing that the game was approaching 80 minutes, Zhao Hanchun was knocked to the ground by his opponent while defending on the right. Although he fell a bit exaggerated, the referee still gave the Chinese team a chance to position the ball.
When the Jordan player was still arguing with the referee, saying that he hadn't done anything to Zhao Hanchun, Zhao Hanchun quickly got up and held the ball down. He passed the ball straight without his waist straight.
To be precise, Zhao Hanchun’s style on the court is what Tang Hong said to his teammates in Braga that he looked down upon, acting!
But I look down on it, I don’t play that set, but it doesn’t mean I don’t allow sand in my eyes to watch others play like this. They are all grown-ups, and if their thinking is either black or white, then it really hasn’t been smoothed out by society.
When Zhao Hanchun went out to play games together in Tianhai before, Tang Hong never made irresponsible remarks to him as long as Zhao Hanchun didn't go too far to cause conflicts between the teams. Tang Hong couldn't help but say a few words about him only when his acting skills were too high.
After receiving Zhao Hanchun's pass from the backcourt, Wu Lei passed the ball diagonally to the center zone.
Tang Hong led the ball in a fast running position and took a step forward. When the Jordanian team's defense was forced to press forward for a counter grab, Tang Hong calmly sent the through ball.
Qin Rui succeeded in getting a single shot against offside!
Outside the penalty area, Qin Rui kicked and shot, and the shot from his right foot was simply and neat. The football flew straight to the upper right corner of the goal like a cannonball and hit the bullseye!
The Chinese team leads the score again!
Whether it was the coach of the Chinese team or the fans, it was finally relieved.
A match that can qualify after a tie will be ups and downs depending on the mood of the officials. I am afraid that there is no second team besides the Chinese team.
The Jordan team did not give up counterattack. When their troops were under pressure, Feng Xiaoting made a key interception on the penalty zone line once again ushered in an excellent opportunity for the Chinese team to counterattack.
Luo Hongkai made a straight pass from the backcourt to find Tang Hong who had left the defender behind after crossing the center line, and even stopped and went to the meeting with Tang Hong who rushed forward.
Facing the attacking goalkeeper Tang Hong, the speed was unabated and the ball passed!
When he was already facing the empty door, the Guangzhou University City Stadium rang out crazy cheers in advance.
Tang Hong naturally pushed the ball easily into the empty goal.
The Chinese team 3:1 Jordan!
Secure the victory!
The Jordan team saw that the general situation was gone, and they did not press on.
In another game of the same group, Iraq swept the Singapore team 7:1. Unfortunately, the "teammate" Jordan failed to help them defeat the Chinese team in the away game, and unfortunately failed to qualify for the group.
At the end of the Chinese team's game, Tang Hong led the whole team to the sidelines to applaud and bow to the fans in the stands.
Van der Hill also temporarily passed the test of the early days of taking office. At least the qualifying team in the third stage of the Asian region of the world preliminaries allowed the Chinese team to save the hope of impacting the 2014 World Cup in Brazil to the top ten!
