Vol 3 Chapter 123: Returning home to help (3)

Before the game, Ali Haan specifically talked to Wang Ai. Because he had a heavy responsibility as a head coach to prepare for the next game, he didn't talk thoroughly, but at the end, he thanked Wang Ai for his reminder and initiative to come back. . By then, Mai Chao had been chatting with Wang Ai, and also revealed what Yan Shiduo asked him to convey.
Ali Haan's statement proved that Wang Ai's previous work was not done in a vain manner, and Yan Shiduo and Ali Haan both knew the possible traps of the group stage. This group is actually very funny. China and Hong Kong are born to a mother. If you do n’t want to play with it, no one will believe it. But Kuwait and Malaysia don't look at a Middle East or a Southeast Asia. The relationship between the nations is actually not far, because both are countries, and Kuwait has money, and Malaysia is poor. So this group is actually not as "fragmented" as it seems, but it is actually a confrontation between the two strong. China is dragging Hong Kong and Kuwait is dragging Malaysia. Only China and Kuwait can qualify. Of course, Hong Kong, China and Malaysia are far worse than China and Kuwait in terms of strength. They cannot play the role of sniping the opponent's boss, but it can be done to feed their bosses.
Therefore, in the end, the key is the direct dialogue between the two bosses, China and Kuwait. If China wins, it doesn't matter, but if the two sides have tied in two games, then whoever will qualify depends on the thickness of their skin. Obviously, Chinese people are face-saving and have a higher moral bottom line than other countries.
What's more dangerous is that the Chinese Football Association has no experience in international competitions or diplomatic experience. Many people don't even know that Malaysia is a country and that Middle East countries such as Kuwait are "brother countries." In recent years, he has achieved good results, and is even more arrogant. He has not paid attention to his opponents at all.
Fortunately, after Wang Ai's reminder, the three most important people in the national team: Yan Shiduo, Ali Haan, and Mai Chao have all realized the severe situation of the game, so they grasped tightly before the game, repeatedly telling the players to strive to win simply. Opponent, play the game as the final.
At 19:00, Guangzhou Tianhe Stadium was full of people. Tickets for this game are very expensive, the top stands, 380 tickets for the best position, and 80 tickets for the worst. Because the Football Association did not notice the problem of the ball market at the beginning, the tickets were sold only 40% at first. However, after the news that King Ai returned home was spread by several fans who saw it through NetEase, Sina, Tianya and other communities, the tickets began to sell. When the national team's coaching staff announced the roster of this game, almost two hours later, the remaining tickets were sold out. In other words, when Wang Ai returned to China, he did nothing, and the Football Association earned 600,000 more on the tickets. As for the sponsors who have only heard of the news later, it is too late to temporarily negotiate TV commercials, and they can only shoot the thighs empty.
A few days ago, the king who sank the Galactic warship returned this time, so he had to glance at it. He was not in the country and usually couldn't see it when he wanted to see it.
After warming up, Wang Ai returned to the bench. Although the old Ali listened to Wang Ai's words, he also knew that Wang Ai's return would be very hard, and his physical condition would not be very good. The fans also understood this arrangement, and there was no protest. On the contrary, when the game was about to start, a big sign with a red text on a white background suddenly appeared on the stand opposite the main stand. I didn't know who had the idea and wrote four big words on it: "Xiao Wang You it is good!"
Wang Ai ’s response was to froze for a moment, covering her face with both hands, and roaring in her heart:
Brother, you ca n’t play with me like this, you say that Wang Ai is okay, and this sign makes people carelessly like
xiaoping you it is good'!"
Other stands played Rey and "Dr. Wang", and Wang Ai stood up and waved, but only when she was not watching.
The game went on as expected, the Uzbekistan referee gave a whistle, and the Chinese team rushed to the opponent like a tiger. The Chinese team in the white jerseys and the Kuwait team in the blue jerseys fought together. The Chinese team cheered for "China's cheering" in the audience and seldom played enthusiastically. It didn't take long for them to compress their opponents in the half. However, they sacrificed the midfielder's man-to-man tactics. Zhao Junzhe and Xiao Zhanbo were both stared at deadly. Although the frontline combination of Hao Haidong and Zhang Yuning got a lot of opportunities, but the opportunities were not very good, so the 45 minutes battle, the two sides are zero to zero.
The problem of China's gaining power or not being able to break dense defense is a big deal. Throughout the first half, the Chinese team had 6 shots, 4 corner kicks, 6 free kicks in frontcourt, and one offside. Opposition Kuwait did not have a single shot.
The situation is so favorable, but the score of 0: 0 seems a bit dazzling.
After returning from the midfield, Sun Jihai and Yang Yong, two left and right wing players, began to move towards the middle gradually, and they responded to Xiao Zhanbo and Zhao Junzhe. Soon, in the 10th minute of the second half, Hao Haidong played a flower near the bottom line and scored the goal, but the referee's decision was invalid. A few minutes later, in Wei Xin's bottom pass, Lao Hao headed into the net again, this time the referee sounded a valid whistle.
The Tianhe Stadium was filled with jubilation, with the sound of drums, and the sound of horns ticking. Anyway, how did the noise come about? Even Wang Ai started to warm up, many fans did not notice.
In the 15th minute of the second half, Ali Hahn signaled the replacement of the fourth official. Hao Haidong went down on the 9th and Wang Ai went on the 13th.
"Brother Hao, there is you!" Wang Ai gave Lao Hao a thumbs-up on the sidelines, all 35, still so hard, can still score, and is still a header.
Lao Hao smiled pleats: "Hello Wang."
Wang Ai turned ruthlessly and immediately gave Lao Hao a middle finger. The referee didn't notice Wang Ai's small movement when he turned around. The fans noticed it, but they both laughed and knew they were joking.
CCTV commentator Liu Jianhong naturally ignored this discordant episode and shouted into the microphone excitedly: "This is the handover of the first striker of the new and old two generations in China, indicating that the future of Chinese football will be even more brilliant. ! "
Wang Ai ignored the fans with a smile, ran to the penalty area, and met Zhang Yuning, Zhao Junzhe, Xiao Zhanbo and others. Zhang Yuning smiled handsomely and nodded slightly.
When Wang Ai smiled in the face of the Kuwaiti defence, Kuwaiti coach Capegiani immediately walked to the side of the field, and the Kuwaiti team members looked faintly in the gaze of Wang Ai, and they loomed a bit of fear. .
For ordinary players in Kuwait who can not mix in the five major leagues, Wang Ai has enough psychological and technical advantages. Conversely, for Kuwaiti players, players who can shine in the five major leagues will naturally make them like enemies.
