Chapter 15 Grasp the initiative to qualify

When Hao Junmin's push fell to the unguarded empty goal, the deafening cheers from the Seoul World Cup Stadium had an obvious stagnation, as if someone had suddenly pressed the pause button on the loudspeaker turned on to the highest pitch.

But a second later, the huge cheers of the World Cup Stadium in Seoul resounded through the sky.

Of course, the roaring and cheering crowd were Chinese fans.

The Korean fans at the scene were stunned, some couldn't believe it.

The stoppage time just came, and the Chinese team equalized the score?

But hearing is believing, seeing is believing, and Korean fans couldn't help but believe it. Chinese players at the World Cup Stadium in Seoul rushed to Hao Junmin, who scored the equalizer.

The Chinese fans in the stands were excited like children, dancing with excitement, and the whole stadium was filled with their voices.

Korean head coach Choi Kang-hee kicked angrily at the water bottle in front of him, but because of too much force, the bottle burst open ahead of time, splashing his entire right foot.

But at this time, not many people paid attention to what he vented, and everyone preferred to watch the crazy celebration of the goal side.

Especially the fans in front of the TV, they still want to reminisce about the exquisite cooperation that the Chinese team played in the Korean team's defense of the 30-meter area just now.

From Tang Zheng's ghostly running position to receiving Hao Junmin's pass, to dribbling forward and picking up a pass behind Zhang Linpeng who is behind him at high speed, it can be seen that he has a good grasp of timing.

As for Zhang Linpeng's choice to pass the ball when he got a single chance, it is not difficult to see that the current Chinese team is very team-oriented.

With little time left in the game, knowing how to convert higher chances into goals,

Central 5 commentator He Wei was excited: "The ball went in! Hao Junmin sent the ball into the empty goal that was not guarded.

2:2! ! The Chinese team relied on the strength of the team to equalize the score before the end of the game! If the whole game ends according to the current score, the Chinese team can firmly grasp the initiative to advance to the World Cup held in Brazil next year! In the last round, the Chinese team played at home against Qatar, which had been eliminated early, and the South Korean team needed to play at home against Australia, which won this round. That is to say, the Chinese team drew this round and won at home in the next round. As a result, they can all get a place to directly qualify for the World Cup in Brazil! "

The Chinese fans sitting in front of the TV were as excited as the Chinese fans at the scene, venting the excitement accumulated in their hearts for the Chinese team's stoppage time goal.

South Korea's sbs sports TV commentator Park Chanyeol was dumbfounded, not knowing what to say.

As He Wei said, South Korea drew with China in this round. Although they can rely on their goal difference to rank second in the group, they need to face Australia, the strongest in the group, in the final round.

The Chinese team played against Qatar, which had already been out early, and the result was clear at a glance.

In the last round of the home game against Australia, it can be said that there is more than good luck.

Australia wins this round, and they can qualify for the group stage without losing in the final round.

Not South Korea, they have to win.

Of course, the Chinese team unexpectedly lost to Qatar at home in the last round, and the South Korean team can qualify for next year's World Cup in Brazil even if they lose.

But is this possibility high?

Obviously, not realistic.

The Chinese team is playing at home, and there is no need for Qatar to fight for China when they are out early. They may even send a youth team to prepare for the 2015 Asian Cup in Australia and the 2018 World Cup in Russia.

Count on such an away game against Qatar, which is unbeaten at home in the top ten Asian games?

Hao Junmin, who scored the goal, took off his jersey excitedly, and then threw it to the stands where the Chinese fans were, venting the huge pressure in his heart.

As a guest in South Korea, a draw is completely acceptable!

The close-up shots of the live broadcast showed the South Korean players on the field, such as Son Heung-min, Ki Sung-yong, Kim Young-kwon, Ha Dae-sung and other players looked regretful.

If we worked harder in the past games, even if the Chinese team scored another goal in the current score, would the South Korean team be ahead?

There is no if in the world, and the score of 2:2 is a bloody reality.

Before the game, they knew the consequences of the home draw against China.

※※※

Cui Kangxi, who was extremely angry, had accepted the reality after venting his emotions. There were still two minutes in stoppage time. He thought the team still had time to exceed the score again!

So, he quickly ran to the sidelines and made a gesture to the players on the field.

The three substitutions adjusted all the powers. What can be done now is to adjust the player's position changes and tactical routines.

However, the game continued until the end of the game, and the score did not change.

2:2

The South Korean team drew with China in the crucial penultimate round.

In this round, Australia beat Lebanon 5-0, and the points rose to 14 points, ranking first in the group. South Korea and China each accumulated 12 points. In the final round, the Chinese team played at home against Qatar, which was eliminated early, and South Korea faced Australia.

The Chinese team has a high probability of winning at home, so for South Korea and Australia, there is no room for loss in the final round.

Australia can accept a draw, but South Korea cannot, otherwise they can only play play-offs...

So when Irmatov blew the whistle for the end of the game, the home team players and home team fans looked very sad.

On the other hand, the Chinese players and Chinese fans were beaming with joy, excitedly celebrating the thrilling away point.

At the same time, He Wei, the commentator of Central 5, said excitedly: "One point in the away game is a victory! In the next round, we will win Qatar at home. No matter what the outcome of the battle between Australia and South Korea, the team that advances to the World Cup in Brazil will be the best time." Us after two World Cups!"

New Wolves sports commentator Huang Jianxiang talked eloquently: "The game is over! The Chinese team can finish with one point in the away game! Although we are now ranked third in the group, as long as we win the final round of Qatar, which was eliminated early, we can do it no matter what. Get a place to directly qualify for the World Cup!"

Having said that, he suddenly changed his voice and brought the topic to head coach Camacho, who is questionable about employing personnel for this game: "Of course, the premise is that head coach Camacho doesn't set up obstacles for us anymore. Even if any team in the world can get a starting position, I hope that Tang Zheng can appear in the starting lineup in the next round of home games against Qatar. It is exciting to score points at the end, but it may be more suitable for us now to establish an advantage early ..."

Not many people noticed that at the end of the game, except for the Chinese coaching staff, members of the Spanish coaching staff and a few substitute players who shook hands with the head coach Camacho, the other players stayed on the field to celebrate the away points and did not talk to the head coach at all. Marjorie meant to shake hands.

It's not that these players don't respect Camacho, but that Camacho's "employment thinking" made them very puzzled.

Obviously Tang Zheng could be used early, why did he have to be a substitute?

Physical problems?

tacit understanding problem?

No one knew Tang Zheng's physical condition and his fit with the team better than the Chinese players on the field.

Moreover, Tang Zheng could bring a sense of security to his teammates that was difficult to describe in words, so when Tang Zheng and Camacho had conflicts, they preferred to stand by Tang Zheng's side.

There is a stark contrast between past failures and present successes, and no one dislikes success.

Head coaches are everywhere, Tang Zheng is not often there.

Coupled with the lack of innovation in Camacho's tactical ability and lack of on-the-spot adaptability, if a better head coach can be replaced.

The overall performance of the team is likely to be improved to a higher level.

For Camacho, the Chinese team's away game against South Korea was completely acceptable, but he didn't know that most of the players were dissatisfied with his employment and tactics in this game...

Arriving at Shanghai Pudong Airport by flight the next morning, the Chinese team, which drew with South Korea in an away game, was welcomed by a large number of fans.

Especially Tang Zheng, Hao Junmin, Zhang Linpeng and other players who performed well, they received extra attention from the fans.

Of course, not everyone is welcome.

For example, head coach Camacho, when he appeared at the exit gate of an international flight, there was a burst of boos.

These Chinese fans obviously came prepared, held up the slogan "Camacho dismissed get out of class", and even worried that the Camacho team could not see clearly, so they deliberately used Spanish.

The booing was very obvious in the crowd, and the coaching staff and players looked over.

The players' facial expressions didn't change much, except Camacho's expression was extremely ugly.

※※※

Tang Zheng's importance to the Chinese team is needless to say, Camacho no longer dares to suppress Tang Zheng.

From these two days of recovery training, he clearly felt the team members' support for Tang Zheng.

Coupled with the fans and media's support for Tang Zheng, if he insists on going his own way, his fame will be ruined on this land.

Although Tang Zheng returned to the main lineup for the Chinese team's preparations in Wuhan, Tang Zheng and Camacho still had no unnecessary exchanges.

However, for the fans and the media, it is not a big problem. Because of Qatar’s early exit, the main players did not come to China with the team. Instead, as many domestic media speculated, they sent a large number of young players to prepare for the 2015 Asian Cup in Australia and China. Preparations for the 2018 World Cup in Russia.

In the 2014 Brazil World Cup Asian Qualifiers Group B, Japan's qualifying situation became clear early. Japan qualified two rounds ahead of schedule with an absolute advantage. Iran, ranked second in the group, was one point ahead of Oman, who was third in the group.

Although Iran has only one point advantage, their opponent in the last round is Iraq, which has been eliminated early, and they are playing at home, which is not much different from the situation faced by the Chinese team in the last round.

Oman is third in the group with nine points, and Jordan is fourth in the group with seven points. As long as Iran wins, it will definitely qualify for the promotion.

The situation in Group A shows that it is clear and clear, and that it is hazy and hazy.

But this ambiguity is aimed at South Korea and Australia, and has nothing to do with the Chinese team.

Playing a team that was out early and sent a lot of young players at home, not winning is definitely an insult to God's blessing!

Australia and South Korea are ranked first and second in the group, but it is definitely a game that no one can afford to lose.

Wuhan hosts China's last home game in the Asian quarter-finals of the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, and the city is getting crazier as the game approaches.

The last time the Chinese team advanced to the main match of the World Cup dates back to the 2002 World Cup in Korea and Japan, but that World Cup has a lot to do with the direct promotion of the two teams of South Korea and Japan as the hosts.

So the next game is likely to become the first real promotion to the World Cup in the history of Chinese men's football.

Regardless of whether they are real fans or fake fans, they are all looking forward to the next game.

Especially now that the Chinese team has a world-class star like Tang Zheng as the finale, so it has attracted a lot of attention from fans. In addition, in the past two years, the level of competition in the Chinese Super League has continued to increase. The team cheers and cheers.

Moreover, as long as the Chinese team wins this game, they will definitely advance to the World Cup. For the historic moment, not many people are willing to miss it.

One day before the game time, a large number of Chinese fans wearing red jerseys can already be seen on the streets of Wuhan. They held up banners and slogans, sang the familiar national anthem and "Ode to the Motherland", and prepared for the last World Cup match of the Chinese team in advance. Qualifiers build momentum.

Because the Chinese team has Tang Zheng, who has just set a world football transfer record, foreign media are also paying great attention to the Chinese team's World Cup qualifiers.

Well-known European TV stations such as British Sky, German Sky, BBC, Spanish National Television and other well-known European TV stations have sent interview teams to pay attention to whether Tang Zheng can lead the Chinese team to enter the World Cup again after twelve years.

It is worth mentioning that the odds offered by the world's top ten gaming companies are also quite optimistic about the prospects of the Chinese team. On the contrary, the odds of the South Korean team and Australia are constantly adjusted with the passage of time, which makes people see no clue.

China vs. Qatar and South Korea vs. Australia are played at the same time. After all, it is related to the direct qualifying places for the World Cup and the places to participate in the play-offs. To avoid tacit match or match-fixing, kicking off at the same time is the best way to avoid risks.

In the final round of the group, Hao Junmin was suspended for accumulating three yellow cards, but this had little impact on the overall strength of the Chinese team, because Tang Zheng appeared impressively in the starting roster.

The Wuhan Sports Center, which can accommodate 60,000 people, was filled with fans from all over the country an hour before the game, and there were no seats left.

Looking around the entire stadium, there is a sea of ​​red.

When the on-site announcer introduced Tang Zheng's name on the starting lineup before the game, a deafening loud shout resounded through the entire Wuhan Sports Center for the first time.

The Chinese team sitting at home did not disappoint the fans who came from afar. They created an offensive that was enough to score in less than a minute of the opening. It is a pity that Gao Lin's header missed the goal post.

The next game was completely reduced to a half-court offensive and defensive drill for the Chinese team.

After all, the young Qatar team has very little experience in the game, and the Chinese team has Tang Zheng and Zheng Zhi, two masters who control the rhythm, in the midfield, and the game is very smooth.

There are endless attacks like flowing clouds and flowing water, and each attack can detonate the frenzied atmosphere of Wuhan Sports Center.

The sky paid off, and the quantity of attacks finally paid off in quality. Tang Zheng accurately found Wu Sanshi, who was attacking the left rib and diagonally into the penalty area, in a 45-degree cross from the right. Shot, the football goes straight to the player's far end dead corner.
