There is a dream called football

June 18, 2009.

In the final round of the top 10 Asian qualifying matches for the World Cup in South Africa, China faced Iran away from home in Tehran.

This game is a life and death battle for the Chinese team, because the Chinese team is 2 points behind Iran before the game, and will be eliminated if it draws or loses. If the Chinese team wants to advance to South Africa, it can only defeat Iran.

This game is so important that CCTV started broadcasting it live one hour before the game, and even the warm-up was not missed.

"The reason why the Chinese team encountered difficulties in the top ten games was because of Li Qiao's injury."

"Li Qiao was injured at Manchester United in March this year and then rested for more than a month. In the two games during this period, the Chinese team lost to South Korea and drew with Saudi Arabia. They lost 5 points in one go and the original advantage was lost.

There is nothing left.”

"Otherwise, it would be impossible for the Chinese team to fight against Iran in the final round, and in Tehran."

"But it doesn't make any sense now."

"The fate of the Chinese team is still in our own hands. As long as we defeat Iran, then we will go to South Africa."

The frontcourt combination sent by Iran is very strong.

The leader is Hashemian, who once played for Bayern Munich. The midfielders are Shujaei, Nekonen, Reza and Karimi.

Iran's lineup is also very aging, and many of them are still the same group that participated in the 2004 Asian Cup and played against the Chinese team.

However, in this kind of game where the outcome is determined by a single game, many things are difficult to say.

After the start, Iran's devilish home court showed its magic. Because the altitude here is relatively high, many people are not accustomed to coming here.

Li Qiao felt that playing here was very tiring. The altitude was affecting Li Qiao's condition, so the Chinese team's tactics in the first half were defensive, while the Iranian team attacked quickly like Persian cavalry. I hope

Use your home court advantage to win the Chinese team in one fell swoop.

Under the impact of Iran, the Chinese team's defense was very difficult. Iran's style of play is basically European style, fast and powerful. From a racial perspective, the Iranians are similar to Europeans. In this high-intensity situation

During the game, there was a tremor in front of the Chinese team's goal.

"We must withstand it. Lippi should have studied the video of the Korean team playing here. At that time, the Korean team relied on its own will to withstand it."

But soon, the Iranian team's own aging problems became apparent, and the continuity of the attack was not that good.

The Chinese team began to look for opportunities to counterattack, and the number one counterattack point of the Chinese team was of course Li Qiao.

For the new football player, Iran's defense is very rough and the kicks are very hard, so Li Qiao can only avoid kicking and reduce frontal confrontation. This is a very smart way, because once he is kicked from the front, he is likely to be injured.

.

Before the pressure of qualifying for the World Cup, Iranians don't talk about such things as etiquette, justice and shame.

After several big moves, Lippi stood up and protested. Although these kicks did not hit Li Qiao, they all seemed to be aimed at people. He was very mean and the Iranians were obviously preparing to play hooligans.

.

In this case, Li Qiao must hit the ball faster.

"The Iranians seem to be prepared to use red cards to win the victory. The Chinese team must be careful and must not let their opponents succeed."

The Chinese team avoids confrontation, but it is really impossible to have a football match without confrontation, so time and time again, Chinese team players have been violated, especially Gao Lin on the striker. He is slower to get the ball. In this case, he is basically

Being put down.

"The Iranians' tactics are very clear. They want to muddy the waters because they have a two-point advantage."

"Yes, the situation is relatively difficult for the Chinese team."

"The role of stars is very important at this time."

Almost the whole country is looking forward to the arrival of the savior, and everyone's hope is in Li Qiao.

After the injury, Li Qiao's condition was average. Coupled with the lack of oxygen at the plateau, Li Qiao's condition today was not particularly good, and he was not looking for a particularly fast breakthrough for the time being. He seemed to be accumulating strength.

"I think with Li Qiao's strength, this kind of game will definitely break out, but maybe it will be in the second half."

At the end of the first half, the score of 0-0 made all Iranians very satisfied. If it ended with this score, then it would be the Iranians who would go to South Africa.

The Iranians are also prepared to continue this style of football until the end of the game, leaving the Chinese disappointed and leaving Tehran.

During the halftime break, Lippi was not talking about tactics, but some words of encouragement. Regarding dreams, in fact, the more times like this, the more important spiritual aspects are. Don’t underestimate this.

Lippi is very clear, so he said a lot of things to make everyone excited. Only by believing in yourself can you win the game.

At the beginning of the second half, the Iranians couldn't run anymore and started to defend. It was this change that made them regret it after the game.

It can only be said that Iran's head coach Alidai is a good player, but not a good coach. When the two sides were at odds with each other, he withdrew his troops first. This seemed safer, but in fact it was a foolish move.

Because of the lack of high-position pressing in the frontcourt, the Chinese team can pass the ball at will in the Iranian half. In this way, the Chinese team has many more opportunities. Slowly, the Chinese team has more shooting opportunities.

But when Alidai realized it, it was too late. He could only defend to the end and look forward to 0-0.

Of course, given Iran's strength, this is entirely possible. As long as they are tougher in front of and in the penalty area, it will still be difficult for the Chinese team to get a chance.

Time passed by minute by second, and at the end, all 11 Iranians were piled in the penalty area, ready to spend the time just like this.

80 minutes.

81 minutes.

At the 85th minute, Alidai smiled and felt that he should have succeeded.

"Haha, we can go to South Africa."

But at this moment, Li Qiao hit a long shot in front of the penalty area, and the ball dropped violently. It was a falling ball.

As soon as this goal appeared, the Iranians in the audience were shocked. You must know that although Iran did not perform well in this qualifying match, it was an away game. In a home game in Tehran, the Iranians have not lost yet.

But this time they encountered Li Qiao, whose kick was so powerful that it hit the far corner of the goal.

The moment the ball was scored, the whole of Tehran was silent. The Iranians were dumbfounded. They were defeated. The cheers of the Chinese team were like a silent movie. There was no sound, just a group of red figures running wantonly on the court.

After the game, Alidai looked at Lippi fiercely. He had lost, lost to the cunning Italian silver fox.

The Chinese team can go to South Africa.
