Golden Greenery

Zhuo Yang still admires the Iraqis. They don't even have a serious home court, but they still play vigorously. What a strong sentiment!

On November 11, 2011, Singles Day in the Year of the Singles, Zhuo Yang and his Chinese team came to the Grand Mahad Stadium in Doha, Qatar, to face their opponent Iraq in the fourth round of the 2014 World Cup Asia Top 20.

This is Iraq's second home game in this tournament. The last time they faced Jordan at home was at the Franconian Harari Stadium in the northern city of Erbil. However, the organization of that game was very poor. Not only did no players enter the retractable tunnel, there were two power outages for no reason, and there were gunshots outside the stadium.

In that game, Iraq lost to Jordan 0:2. After the game, based on the referee's report, FIFA held a meeting and decided to cancel Iraq's home qualifications for all FIFA games this year, including the World Cup preliminaries and Olympic preliminaries.

Therefore, Zhuoyang and the Chinese team did not have to travel to the worrying Iraq, but came to the magnificent Doha.

The country was in turmoil, the home court was banned, and they lost two and won one in the first three rounds. As the saying goes, a sad soldier must win. The Iraqis, who were forced to lose their home and nowhere to go, burst out with terrifying energy. Zhuo Yang felt that what he was facing today was not Iraq at all, but Drake.

Zhuoyang was directly beaten into a central defender by Desert Camel. It wasn't that he didn't want to push out, but he was really unwilling and insufficient. Only 8 minutes into the game, Feng Xiaoting was given a straight red card for attacking Karim after being broken through. Jieshuai could only replace Yu Hanchao with Li Weifeng to keep the three defenders intact.

With one less player on the field, Iraq was relieved. A series of offensive attacks made the Chinese team exhausted. Zhuo Yang and Zheng Ka kept sweeping in front of the defense, and it was impossible to free their hands to attack. The two actually became two forward central defenders.

Fortunately, the two of them were very skilled and managed to get through the first half.

The second half continued as usual, with Iraq continuing to be unreasonable. Their head coach and Brazilian football legend Zico also said after the game: This game was his best offensive performance since coaching Iraq. In fact, he has only been coaching Iraq for three months.

Zhuo Yang is also tired. Real Madrid has played a total of 12 games in the past two months. Zhuo Yang has played twelve ninety minutes. In these twelve games, Real Madrid has 11 wins and 1 draw.

After traveling to France to play Lyon and returning to Madrid on the third day, Real Madrid welcomed Osasuna in the 12th round of La Liga at the Bernabeu at home. The score of 7:1 was very dazzling, and Ronaldo scored another hat trick. . After only 11 rounds of the league, Mr. Luo has scored 14 goals, which is quite crazy.

Zhuoyang also scored. He used a diagonal shot after a breakthrough to increase the number of league goals to 9. Yanqiu, who came off the bench, also scored, and he now ranks second in the team with 11 goals. Then, one for Pepe and one for Benzema.

In fact, Real Madrid does not need Pepe to become a beast. His normal performance is enough. In this game, he and Ramos partnered as a central defender. The back line was not responsible for the goal conceded by Real Madrid. Zhuoyang failed to keep an eye on Ibrahima after being lazy in the midfield, allowing him to break in and hit the back line and catch Cassie off guard.

There is no way, Zhuoyang is really tired. The day after the game, he flew from Madrid to Doha to join the national team. During the two international match days in November, the Chinese team will face Iraq and Singapore.

A month ago in Shenzhen, Iraq actually played pretty well in the first half, but a sudden rain during the intermission caused the Iraqis, who had neglected their equipment and were not good at fighting in the rain, to suffer a devastating defeat.

Doha is a hellish place that never sees a drop of rain all year round. The unwilling head coach Zico and the team's top star Younis vow to avenge their shame.

The 28-year-old Younes Mahmoud came into being in 2004. That year he led the Iraqi Olympic team to an astonishing fourth place at the Athens Olympics.

In 2007, Younis led Iraq's "golden generation" to wipe out all the strong players in the Asian Cup and stood at the top of Asia in one fell swoop.

After Alidai grew old, Younis became the number one center in West Asia. Although there were still provocations from naturalized players like Qatar Sebastian, Younis's status as the king in West Asia was still not shaken.

At the golden age of 28, with the overwhelming momentum, no Chinese defender can face Younis at this time, and only Zhuo Yang can stop him.

Younis and Zhuoyang bent down and gasped for breath. There was no rain in Doha, but their hair seemed to have just been soaked in water. The top 20 is not easy. Younis knows that today is his last chance, and there is only one way to win, otherwise Iraq will die. In four years, there will not be many of his group left, and he hopes to become more and more successful. The more remote it becomes.

Zhuoyang knew it in his heart, so he would not give Younis a chance. If this game is over, the Chinese team will be sure to advance. In the following games, they can eat hot pot, sing and play, so as to calmly replace the old with the new.

Heroes cherish heroes. Zhuoyang sympathizes with Younes, but I'm sorry that I have to destroy your hope with my own hands today.

Zhuoyang is not a man-marking central defender, he is a defensive midfielder guarding the throat. Zhuoyang was driving Younes to the side throughout the game, and even the two sides did not allow him to make trouble. Throughout the game, Younis did not get a single chance in the middle.

In the 84th minute, ** Peng was broken through by Younis. He did not hesitate at all and decisively kicked Younis down from behind. The captain said, don't be afraid of fouls, as long as you don't let Younis rush into the penalty area, take action when it's time to take action.

A red card left the Chinese team with only nine players, leaving Younis with less than ten minutes. A free kick was taken from the wing, Younis once again lost to Zhuoyang in the penalty area, and the ball was cleared.

In order to freeze Younis, Zhuoyang did not press arbitrarily when the Chinese team attacked. His caution played a decisive role in stoppage time.

At 90+2, the Chinese team's frontcourt attack failed, and Iraq launched a Desert Storm-style counterattack. Younis dribbled the ball in from the corner of the penalty area. The moment he faced Yang Zhi and fired a volley, which was perhaps his most important shot, Zhuoyang caught up with him from the side and made a fierce shovel.

Zhuoyang accurately took away the football, and Younis's right foot hit his strong gluteus maximus.

30 seconds later, Hao Junmin earned a free kick in the frontcourt. When Zhuo Yang stepped up to take a free throw, he looked back at Younis, who was rubbing his feet and slowly standing up.

When Zhuo Yang started running, Younis was already kneeling down and praying. After Zhuoyang's Xiaoyao Zhan pierced the Iraqi goal, he looked back at him and Younis cried.

The Chinese team defeated Iraq 1:0 in an extremely difficult game, winning all four games and accumulating 12 points to advance to the top ten two rounds ahead of schedule. And Younis injured his right foot in his most important shot, and he rested for four months after returning.

Thus, Younes Mahmoud created a strange phenomenon.

After recovering from injury, Younis lost his main position in Al Waqra in the Qatar League, so he moved to Al Sadd, but he still could not regain his former glory. Younis simply gave up his career in the club and practiced by himself on weekdays, traveling around. The Iraqi national team would definitely call him up for every major competition.

Younes has since become the only retired active international player in the world, creating a new realm of health football.

The bachelor Zhuo Yang and his Chinese team flew to the Lion City of Singapore. Four days later, Zhuo Yang left there again and returned to Madrid with a 5:0 victory. After he went back, he was no longer a bachelor because Kou Kou came.
