Midfielder Ruler

When the referee Irmatov blew the whistle for the end of the game, the score was still 0:0.

The Chinese team and the Australian team scored one point each in a goalless draw at the Xi'an Zhuque Sports Center.

The live broadcast camera was shown to Tang Zheng at the first time, and he covered his face with his hands, looking very helpless.

Australia's strength is more than one level stronger than that of Iraq and Jordan in the Asian Top 20. Their physical fitness is stronger, their game experience and tactical quality are better.

The second is that Gao Lin, who is at the top, has too poor grasping ability, squandering two chances enough to score in the whole game.

Of course, the most important thing is that the awareness of playing football is a bit big for each other.

In addition to Hao Junmin who can keep up with his own consciousness, the current Chinese team belongs to the captain Zheng Zhi.

They have some tacit understanding in the game, but not enough tacit understanding.

The overall consciousness of the team can barely cope with Iraq and Jordan, but there is no way to face the stronger Australia.

So Tang Zheng misses playing football with Dortmund teammates very much, that's called enjoyment.

But after thinking about it, Tang Zheng felt that there seemed to be some problems in his train of thought.

The ability of teammates is limited, and the direct result is that the technical gap is obvious, especially in passing and receiving.

But think about it from another angle, should I, as the core, take the initiative to adapt to the playing style of my teammates instead of my teammates adapting to myself.

"Aww-"

Hearing the huge cheers erupting from the Suzaku Sports Center, Tang Zheng felt even more that he should do this...

Afterwards, the on-site director switched the camera and showed it to Camacho, the head coach of the Chinese team.

Central 5 commentator He Wei said: "It is reasonable to score a point at home, and it can also be said to be unexpected. The Chinese team with Tang Zheng and Hao Junmin should have played more aggressively. But Camacho's use of Tang Zheng in this game seems to be more inclined to defend. Of course, this is directly related to the overall strength of the Australian team than the Chinese team. The next game of the Chinese team is to challenge Lebanon away. Whether they can finally qualify for the World Cup in Brazil? The next game will be the most important…”

At the same time, Jian Gen, the president of the Shenzhen Fan Club, left Suzaku Sports Center quickly because he needed to contact the fan presidents of other provincial-level clubs to discuss the establishment of a national fan association by officials.

The South Korean team had a bye in the first round, and Qatar beat Lebanon 1-0 in an away game. They temporarily ranked first in the group with three points, and the Chinese team and Australia ranked second and third respectively.

Six days later, the Chinese team will start the second round of the 2014 Brazil World Cup Asian Top Ten Tournament in an away game.

They first had a two-day recovery training in Xi'an, and then took a flight to Beirut, the capital of Lebanon, to prepare for the second World Cup Asian Top Ten match.

Arriving at Beirut International Airport, many Chinese fans working in Lebanon came to the airport to greet them.

It is worth mentioning that many local Lebanese fans expressed their welcome to Tang Zheng, some of them held up posters, some of them were wearing Dortmund number 10, holding flowers and shouting Tang Zheng's name.

And Tang Zheng was also the only Chinese player welcomed by Lebanese fans.

Lebanon lost to Qatar at home in the first round, and now if they lose to the Chinese team at home in a row, there will be more thorns in their road to promotion.

However, the strength of the Lebanese national team is limited, and even if they play at home, not many media are optimistic about their prospects.

On the contrary, many domestic and foreign media are optimistic about the Chinese team as a guest, thinking that the Chinese team is likely to beat Lebanon away.

Long before the Chinese team went to Lebanon, an enthusiastic netizen named China Ballack calculated an account.

There are 4.5 places in the Asian region to qualify for the World Cup in Brazil.

It is equivalent to saying that each group has two direct promotion places and one competition for 0.5 intercontinental play-off qualification places in Asia.

With the current strength of the Chinese team, it is a bit difficult to compete for a direct promotion spot. The head coach Camacho is also very smart. He played a very low-key role as early as after the top ten draw, saying that the Chinese team can only compete for the third place in the group even with Tang Zheng. , This took a lot of pressure off the Chinese players.

But in fact, does the Chinese team really have no chance of directly qualifying?

Have!

Just a small chance.

According to the appearance scores of the final stage qualifiers of the past three World Cups, it will be found that the Chinese team has a high chance of directly qualifying.

In the 1998 World Cup in France, the team expanded to 32 teams in the final stage, and the Asian region won 4.5 direct entry places. That year, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Japan, and South Korea were eligible for direct promotion.

In Group B, South Korea is relatively abnormal, ranking first in the group with 19 points, and Japan ranked second in the group with 13 points.

Saudi Arabia is the first in Group A, but only scored 14 points, and Iran ranked second with 12 points.

In the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup, because the hosts of Japan and South Korea directly advanced to the final stage of the competition, the Asian region became 2.5 places.

As we all know, in that World Cup, the Chinese team successfully avoided Saudi Arabia and Iran to draw in Group B, and finally ranked first in the group with 19 points, so there is no reference value.

Looking at the 2006 German World Cup Asian preliminaries, this qualifier has changed a lot compared to the past. The previous top ten competition has become a top eight competition, but the number of promotion places remains unchanged, still 4.5.

In Group A, Saudi Arabia ranked first with 14 points, South Korea ranked second with 10 points, Japan ranked first in Group B with 15 points, and Iran ranked second with 13 points.

The 2010 World Cup qualifiers in South Africa were reverted to the top ten. Group A topped Australia with 20 points, second Japan with 15 points, Group B top Korea with 16 points, and North Korea with 12 points.

To sum up, it means that the final second score of the group is probably between 12-15 points.

The two teams with the greatest hopes of advancing to Group A are undoubtedly Australia and South Korea. If there is no accident, these two teams will qualify together. The remaining Chinese team, Qatar and Lebanon will compete for the third place in the group. Competitors are Qatar and Lebanon.

Assuming that the Chinese team wins all four home and away games against Lebanon and Qatar, scoring 12 points, plus one point for the home draw with Australia, that is to say, 13 points in five games.

Can't get one or two points in the remaining three games?

Will it upset South Korea?

The national team in the Gao Hongbo era once beat South Korea 3-0 in the East Asian semi-finals, and now there is Tang Zheng, the number one star in Asia, leading the team. Maybe Tang Zheng suddenly shines and explodes in the game?

For all possible things, it must be accurately calculated.

It is not the first time for the Chinese team to be a guest at the Beirut Municipal Stadium. Two years ago, the Qatar Asian Cup qualifiers beat Lebanon 2-0 away, and most of the international players who defeated Lebanon are still in the team and are in their prime.

As the fifth team in the group, Lebanon itself is not strong, and the most famous player is Antal who plays for Shandong Luneng.

The Chinese team is strong and strong. Except for the physical strength of the starting players with Guangzhou Evergrande as the team, the overall strength is stronger than Lebanon.

The two teams have faced each other five times in international A-level competitions before, and the Chinese team is far ahead with four wins and one tie, and the psychological advantage is obvious.

At 9:00 pm on June 9th, Beijing time, the second round of Group A of the Asian Top Ten Tournament between the Chinese team and Lebanon kicked off at the Beirut Municipal Stadium.

Not long after the game started, the Chinese team created a chance that was enough to score.

Hao Junmin made a 45-degree pass from the right and accurately found Gao Lin who was going forward, but Gao Lin who ran out of the open space leaned over and dived to the top to push the ball out of the baseline, which surprised the Lebanese fans in a cold sweat.

Next, the dominant Chinese team gradually controlled the situation on the court, Tang Zheng and Zheng Zhi took turns to control the rhythm.

During this period, Tang Zheng took the initiative to slow down to cater to his teammates while completing the tasks assigned by the head coach Camacho, and the results achieved were unexpected.

The team's offense has become smoother. Central 5 commentator He Wei said: "After the last round of home draw with Australia, Tang Zheng seems to have found a tacit understanding with his teammates. Judging from the first ten minutes, it feels a bit like Dortmund's No. 10 .”

Because the opponent's ability is limited, Tang Zheng can boldly move forward and participate in the attack. He can only solve the problem through his own shooting when he counts on the hopeless forward Gao Lin.

No, the Chinese team broke the deadlock in the twenty-seventh minute of the game.

Tang Zheng and Hao Junmin came to Lebanon to defend the 30-meter area twice in a row, and then raised their heads to pass the ball to the running Gao Lin, tricking Antal into a recovery action, Tang Zheng The outer instep of the right foot flicks the ball to the right, and the right foot meets it with a long shot.

Lebanese goalkeeper Abbas Hassan didn't even have time to fully stretch his body in the face of Tang Zheng's long-range shot. The football has already roared towards the net!

"The ball is scored! The ball is scored!" He Wei, the commentator of Central 5 from the scene, was very excited.

The away game scored first, and the game was stable!

Both Tang Zheng and Zheng Zhi are masters at controlling the rhythm, but the only difference is that Tang Zheng is world-class, and Zheng Zhi is Asian-class.

Camacho was finally able to sit quietly on the coach's bench, because he knew that the next game would be completely stable.

The Chinese team sealed the victory in the second half. Tang Zheng retreated to the center circle to organize an attack, and then took advantage of the moment when the Lebanese players were distracted and suddenly made a long pass behind him.

Tang Zheng's long pass of more than 40 meters was exactly the same as Hao Junmin's running position. Central defender Mohammad Tahan's kick speed was too slow, kicking down Hao Junmin who stretched his foot ahead of time to move the ball forward. , The referee on duty whistled a penalty kick clearly.

Tang Zheng was the most famous player in the team with the best footwork, so there was no doubt about his penalty kick eligibility, and he made the penalty with ease.

0:2

The home team is at the front and the visiting team is at the back.

This score is also the final score of the game. The Chinese team defeated the home team by two goals in the away game and continued to maintain its unbeaten record against Lebanon.

When the whole game was over, He Wei was stunned for a moment when he saw the Group A standings released by the broadcaster.

South Korea had a bye in the first round, and they beat Qatar 4:1 away in the second round, accumulating three points.

Australia drew 0:0 with the Chinese team in the first round, and had a bye in the second round, accumulating one point.

Qatar, which won the first round and lost in the second round, scored three points with one win and one loss, and Lebanon, which lost all the first two rounds, ranked bottom with zero points.

It is equivalent to saying that the Chinese team with one win and one draw in the first two rounds miraculously ranked first in Group A!
