At 21 o'clock in the evening of July 30, the quarterfinals of this Asian Cup were launched at the same time in Beijing, Jinan, Chengdu and Chongqing, and the opponent of the Chinese team was the Iraqi team.In the game of Group C, Iraq won two wins and one loss, and the second place in the group qualified, so it hit the first place in Group A, won all three games, scored 14 and lost 1, and the Chinese team was in super shape.In pursuit of safety, the coaching staff used a "mixed lineup" for this game.The striker is a combination of Hao Haidong and Bai Guanghai, the midfielders are Wang Ai, Shao Jiayi, Li Ming from left to right, and the back is Zhao Junzhe.The back line from left to right is Luo Tongliang, Li Weifeng, Zheng Zhi and Xu Yunlong, and the goalkeeper is Liu Yunfei.Bai Guanghai and Wang Ai, who have rested for two games, Qi Qi got the start, Luo Tongliang and Chen Yang were put on the bench, and Sun Jihai still didn't get the start.The external explanation is that there is a physical injury.In fact, Lao Ali is playing a rotation strategy, after all, the competition is relatively intensive, with an average of one game in three or four days, and this group of national team players, especially overseas players, has just gone through a long season.Because of the good results and easy performance of the Chinese team in the past few games, even if Lao Ali has a climax of playing, no one can say anything, the players won't say anything, and the Football Association can't say anything, so let him play.Similarly, Li Jinyu, Chen Yang, Zhang Yonghai, and Yan Song all got the opportunity to rest.Hao Haidong, a veteran who failed to make a contribution in the last game, was particularly enthusiastic this time, scoring two goals in the first ten minutes of the game, but unfortunately the second goal was offside.As if they had a heart, the Iraqi team, which was behind in the score and in the situation, began to play a more dirty style.I don't know if this is the tradition of West Asian teams, once the score is behind or in a hurry to qualify, the small actions of the players are endless, which is very different from the East Asian team.It may be because the East Asian team is influenced by Confucian culture, paying attention to "etiquette" and pursuing the purity of victory.Unlike West Asian teams, which are heavily influenced by European culture, the winner is not to blame.Although the South Korean team in the 02 World Cup has lowered the moral lower limit of an East Asian team, as far as the Chinese team and the Japanese team are concerned, even if the score is behind, there will usually only be a small number of individual players' annoyance and excesses, and rarely become the behavior of the team as a whole.In fact, even the South Korean team has a rough style and style of play, and it does not implement intentional injury as an overall tactical idea.In short, when Lao Hao cheered up and showed his excellent competitive state, fouls around him occurred frequently.It's just that Lao Hao has a stubborn temper and a hard temperament, and he is generally stiff when attacked, so the fans don't really see it.But all this can not be hidden from the players on the field, so the atmosphere of the game between the two sides is getting more and more tense.When the Iraqi team moved the ball to the Chinese team's half to attack, Lao Bai and Wang Ai briefly said a few words.Lao Bai means that you let Xiao Luo score in the last game, and the effect is not very good, Iraq should be fouled or fouled.In this regard, Wang Ai had nothing to defend and nodded expressionlessly.Lao Bai shrugged at Wang Ai's back.Of course, the audience outside the venue didn't know what the two said, but they felt that the relationship between the two was either false or really good.In the 18th minute of the first half, Wang Ai won the ball on the left side, and was pushed by the Iraqi defender when he moved to the middle, and Wang Ai fell to the ground.The Singaporean referee did not hesitate to blow a direct free kick from the top of the penalty area.Wang Ai got up and squinted at Lao Bai: How is it?
If they dare to foul, I will dare to lie down!
Lao Bai rolled his eyes: This is you, without your accurate free kick skills, there is a fart for lying down!
Wang Ai is on the field, of course, no one will compete with him for the first penalty taker.He withdrew seventeen or eighteen paces, as if he had been stretched with a bowstring.There was silence in the stadium, and fans were used to being quiet when Wang Ai took a direct free-kick.Small steps, high-frequency running, and the muffled sound of touching the ball echoed in the workers' stadium of more than 50,000 people, and the football bypassed the human wall and went straight into the dead corner.This speed, this power, this accuracy, all surpass the other players by a lot!
This is Wang Ai's first goal in this Asian Cup!
He was also awarded a free-kick in his first group game, but he couldn't make it.Wang Ai, who was celebrating, deliberately ran in front of the Iraqi defender who had just pushed him down, not caring about the other party's ugly face.It's just that in the next game, he paid extra attention.In the 29th minute of the game, when he received Li Ming's ball over the top, he suddenly jumped up to dodge, and an Iraqi defender crashed into Wang Ai's back, Wang Ai moved two meters in the air, staggered and fell.This time, instead of giving a free kick, the referee gave a verbal warning plus an indirect free kick.Shao Jia stared and stood behind the football with his hands rubbed, and the Chinese team's headers poured into the Iraqi penalty area, pulling and pulling with the opposing players.Shao Jia stood sideways on the side of the football, the referee blew a whistle, and when he kicked out, he suddenly turned around, and the ball was not sent into the penalty area, but kicked to the side and back!
Just when the Iraqi defenders rushed forward and the Iraqi midfielders were urgently catching up, Zhao Junzhe, the defender of the Chinese team, let go of his body, and Luo Tongliang, who was wearing a cloak, came out of the crowd and faced the football that was accelerated by Shao Jiayi, which was a burst shot!
Li Weifeng and Xu Yunlong, the two defenders who were heading the ball, were running after the football, ready to grab the header, but when they saw Zhao Junzhe with a wicked smile on his face, Luo Tong came out, looking at the posture and action......
Eh, I'll go!
These two hurriedly flashed to both sides, the Chinese national team physical examination, Luo Tongliang's leg strength is the first, and the long-range shooting speed is the first!
The Iraqi defender, who was not afraid of death, wanted to intercept, but the ball was too fast to react.In the not quiet work body, everyone clearly heard the sound of "bang"!
The goal in the camera lens trembled!
The ball hit the crossbar and bounced off the goal line, but the goalkeeper didn't have time to react, and it bounced into the goal again!
I can only say that I am so lucky!
After all, this is not a long-range shot prepared by Luo Tongliang himself, there is enough time and enough familiar ball path.In the 35th minute of the game, when Wang Ai was interspersed with Shao Jia in the front court, he was kicked in the state of no ball.This time, the referee was very simple and gave a penalty!
Zheng Zhi stepped forward to take the penalty and rewrote the score to 4:0 overnight.In the next ten minutes of the first half, Wang Ai simply did not seriously seek to break the goal, but repeatedly teased the Iraqi defenders and screamed everywhere, and this time, everyone was cautious of him, for fear of being touched by him.()
