There is a dream called football

Chapter 287 Snow Battle

It has been snowing heavily all day, and the body temperature is already below zero. The players of Trinidad and Tobago put on thick thermal underwear and long shorts. Before the game started, the coach specially told them to do it 20 minutes before the first half.

Don't exert force.

As for the Chinese team, Coach Zhu requested that the ball be played high and high in the first half, especially in the first 10 minutes. In this kind of weather, it is best to make more crosses. If the opponent's goalkeeper fails to take the ball, it will be a good opportunity.

So the Chinese team lobbed the ball into the penalty area as soon as the game started. Many goalkeepers in Trinidad and Tobago were also very smart. They didn't attack at all and just stayed in front of the goal. Although they couldn't control the high-altitude ball in the penalty area, they could at least avoid being missed.

.

The cheers on the scene were getting louder and louder, and the Chinese team was getting more and more skillful in passing the ball, but it only blossomed and did not bear fruit.

Huang Jianxiang said: "The Chinese team may be too impatient, and the opponent is not easy to catch."

"Yes, although it is a snow battle, the offense still needs to be a little more sophisticated. After all, the Chinese team's goal is not only this qualifier, but more importantly, the game in Germany next year."

The Chinese team got a corner kick. Li Qiao went to take the corner kick, but the linesman said the ball was not placed properly.

"How about you come over? I can't even see clearly."

The linesman touched it with his foot, but it was obviously off the mark. Li Qiao had no choice but to do this.

He kicked a curved ball into the penalty area. Yang Chen shook his head, but he missed it. Perhaps it was because the ball was too slippery and there was no friction between Yang Chen's forehead and the ball.

This is a double-edged sword. What Director Zhu was worried about is slowly becoming a reality. The heavy snow will not only affect many players in Trinidad and Tobago.

The first half ended 0-0. The two sides seemed to be playing a primary school game, just passing each other back and forth, without any World Cup-level cooperation.

During the halftime break, the referee informed both teams that the kick-off of the second half would be delayed because the snow needed to be cleared from the scene.

This break is only 25 minutes, which is also a great test for the players. In such cold weather, the shorter the half-time break, the better, because the body is like an engine. It takes time to cool down and start again.

At the beginning of the second half, Trinidad and Tobago stepped up its defense against Li Qiao, and his actions were very rough. Li Qiao already understood that his opponent was anxious, and it didn't matter even if he got a red card in order to go to Germany.

This is what Zhu Guanghu expected before the game. In this kind of game, your opponent will fight for your life until the last moment. After all, you are only one step away from going to Germany. Who would give up, especially for a team like Trinidad and Tobago, which has such a good opportunity in decades?

, risk it all.

Li Qiao was knocked down again. The Chinese team players were afraid and immediately went to the referee to protest.

"How many times!"

"Is this still football? It's just skating."

The distance of the opponent's sliding tackle was getting longer and longer. It really didn't look like a football match. The referee suppressed the opponent's roughness with a few yellow cards.

The score is still 0-0. If it ends with this score, then the Chinese team will advance, but...

Chinese fans are very familiar with this kind of plot. There is a joke that for the Chinese team, showing up after a draw is equivalent to not showing up at all.

Let's put it this way, when the Chinese team has a draw in the history, the Chinese team has all failed.

So Huang Jianxiang, like the fans, is worried.

The Doha tragedy, the Golden State tragedy, there were so many such tragedies in the history of Chinese football that Huang Jianxiang did not dare to say anything at this time, lest his crow's mouth would show up and he would be scolded to death by the fans after the game.

"There are still 20 minutes left in the game. I think the players of the national football team cannot be satisfied with a draw. It is best to score a goal to ensure stability."

20 minutes.

15 minutes.

12 minutes.

10 minutes.

When the game reached the final moment, the fans' hearts almost jumped out of their chests. Many people even wished that they were not there but watching the game at home, so that they could at least avoid it.

The atmosphere of this game is colder than the weather.

Suddenly, when the game reached the 85th minute, Trinidad and Tobago made a through ball in the midfield. Feng Xiaoting slipped on his feet. The ball he could have handled originally missed, but York took the ball and entered the penalty area. Li Weifeng flew over and tackled the ball.

For a moment, Yorke looked like he was on Manchester United's front line.

He dunked the ball almost cold-bloodedly. This dunk made the Chinese fans despair. Facing Liu Yunfei, Yorke pushed the ball into the far corner.

The ball went in!!

The stadium of 80,000 people was silent, while Trinidad and Tobago players surrounded their hero Yorke, and the Dutch coach knelt on the ground and raised his arms and shouted.

Zhu Guanghu was immediately replaced, and his heart was filled with chills. Could it be that this was fate?

Shao Jia goes up, Lei Wen goes down.

Li Jinyu is down, Zhang Yaokun is up.

Duan Xuan was puzzled, "Replace the forward and replace him with a defender? What does Director Zhu mean?"

But everyone soon understood that because the CCTV commentary position was at the game today, after the substitution was completed, Li Weifeng moved to the forward position.

The characteristic of Li Jinyu is that he is very good at small skills, but at this time there is no time to play with small skills. What he needs is a big head that can impact.

Li Qiao pocketed a curve ball, and Li Weifeng jumped to head the ball. All the fans stood up, but the ball was not suppressed.

"Go on."

"The Chinese team should have played like this a long time ago."

But this is hindsight. How could Director Zhu replace the defender with the forward position when the score was 0-0?

Now it was the Chinese team's turn to fight for their lives. The Dutch coach looked at the injury time and saw that it was 5 minutes, and he was furious.

He was already very nervous, fearing that someone would kill him. At this time, 5 minutes seemed like 5 years to him. He hoped that these 5 minutes would pass quickly.

Trinidad and Tobago also used up three substitutions at the last moment, most of which were used in the defense. Because of the heavy consumption, many players suffered from cramps.

Zhao Xuri shot high with one kick.

"It's too urgent, give the ball to Li Qiao."

At this time, the fans in the audience shouted Li Qiao's name in unison.

"Li Qiao."

"Li Qiao."

Li Qiao also worked hard, but the court conditions were so bad that it was difficult for him to make sudden turns and stops. Forget it, let's just pass.

In this case, Li Qiao couldn't use his small skills, and he was more worried about making mistakes and being counterattacked, which would be miserable.

In the 4th minute of stoppage time, many fans were already in despair. They shed sad tears. They might have to wait another four years. At this moment, the Chinese team got a free kick opportunity.

The Chinese team all pressed forward, Liu Yunfei also came up, and all the opponent's players came back, with York defending from the front.

Li Qiao took a deep breath under the roar of the mountains and the tsunami, and then started to run. He thought of Deco, Alonso, and Gerrard.

This is the most important pass in Li Qiao's career so far. Success or failure depends on this kick.
