    Chapter 376 Quarterfinals

    July 23, Beijing Workers¡¯ Stadium.

    The game will be held at eight o'clock in the evening, and as early as five o'clock, anxious Chinese fans packed the Workers' Stadium, which can accommodate 80,000 people, with more than 70,000 Chinese fans occupying most of the stands.  , only two stands were occupied by fans from Qatar and other Asian countries.

    When the Chinese players were seen taking the field, huge cheers erupted in the stadium, flooding through the entire stadium like a tide.

    The lineup of the Chinese team is as follows: goalkeeper Jiang Hai, four defenders Sun Chenghai, General Fan, Zhu Guosheng and Wu Jiang. Midfielder Li Gang is behind, Li Min is on the right, Tao Wei is on the left, Nie Fei is ahead, and the double forwards are Hao  Composed of Dong and Zhang Yulin.

    The Qatar team, which almost created a miracle in the last four rounds of the 1997 Top Ten Tournament, has not grown much in strength. In the past three years, there have been few new faces in their national team. Basically, they still rely on their old players to conquer the world.  Among them, the most threatening forward Enazi is already 33 years old. Compared with the Chinese team, which has an endless stream of young players, they have basically lost the qualifications to challenge.

    In just two minutes, the Chinese team¡¯s lightning attack broke through the opponent¡¯s defense.

    Wu Jiang boldly stepped forward to assist. Nie Fei dribbled the ball in the middle, attracted two opposing players to defend, and then cleverly distributed the ball to the left wing. After Wu Jiang received the ball, he took a step forward and then made a pass. The pass was passed  It seemed a bit big, flying high past everyone in the penalty area and towards the right baseline.

    Right midfielder Li Min stepped in, stretched out his foot to stop the ball when it was about to fall out of the baseline, then quickly dunked the ball inward, passed the rushing defender, raised his left foot and hit!

    There were indeed too many players in front of the Qatar goal. A defender happened to be standing in the small penalty area, and the ball rushed towards him quickly.  He didn't react quickly and was hit by the ball, which then bounced into the goal!

    One minute and thirty seconds after the opening - this is the second fastest goal in the history of the Asian Cup - coincidentally, the fastest goal was also scored by a Chinese player, which dates back to 1992.  Xie Yuxin, who was 24 years old at the time, scored the ball into the Japanese team's goal in the first 32 seconds, and Hao Dong assisted him - but the Chinese team lost that game 2 to 3 (check the information)  There was actually a theory that Xie Yuxin scored in 1980, but Lao Xie was born in 1968, and he was only 12 years old in 1980. This is too unbelievable, so I adopted another theory), but I believe this game,  The Chinese team will not repeat previous history.

    Scoring a goal so soon after the opening disrupted all Qatar's plans - they were originally planning to rely on shrinking defense to wear down the host's energy, and then score goals through counterattack - you must know that their defense is not bad, against  Japan, which has scored the most goals so far, has only conceded one goal, but since it has fallen behind, it is impossible to defend anymore.

    Qatar and the Chinese team started a confrontation.  However, they have no good way to attack, that is, to strengthen the pressing in the frontcourt, and then use the forward's personal ability to attack - but today, the Chinese team, which only played a single defensive midfielder, did not put much effort in defense.  Their style of play suppressed their opponents to a certain extent.

    With only Li Gang left in front of the back line, the Chinese team's defense has been weakened a lot, although Li Gang's physical fitness is extremely good.  He is very active in running, but compared with his interceptions, his passing is simply amateur level - you must know that when he was in the Coventry team, he only relied on wide range of running to get a position. In Brazil  He couldn't even learn to pass the ball well.  What's more, in the Premier League, where the technology is relatively rough, he is usually used to grabbing the ball and immediately handing it to his midfielder partners for them to organize the attack. But today, he is the only midfielder, whether he is dribbling or passing the ball.  Do it yourself.

    In twenty minutes, Li Gang made five steals and succeeded four times. This is an astonishing record. However, his passing errors, that is, direct passes to the opponent's feet or out to the sideline, also reached five times - this is also an astonishing record.  Very amazing record.

    The Chinese team, which made frequent mistakes in the midfield, naturally found it difficult to organize an effective offensive.  In the 18th minute of the first half, Nie Fei, Li Min, and Hao Dong played exquisite cooperation at the front of the opponent's penalty area. Unfortunately, Zhang Yulin's last shot missed the goal post, causing sighs from the fans present.

    The Qatar team also had a good chance in the 24th minute. The Chinese team's midfielder made a pass error again. The Qatar team quickly counterattacked. Another forward, Asbili, got a single shot, but Li Wei quickly chased back before the opponent entered the penalty area.  Destroying the ball, he successfully prevented the opponent from counterattacking.

    Milu shook his head on the coaching bench.  He once again confirmed his judgment - Li Gang is a good defensive midfielder.  His excellent physical fitness and wide range of running are enough to form a solid line at the front of the penalty area.??Barrier, such a defensive midfielder can find a place in any team.  However, his offensive ability is extremely poor, which is inversely proportional to his defensive ability. Especially his lack of passing ability is a dangerous time bomb - you must know that it is not dangerous not to grab the ball, because even if you can't grab it yourself  There are other teammates behind him. The danger is that after grabbing the ball, he sends the ball to the opponent's feet. This is when our defense is at its weakest. The teammates are adjusting their psychological preparation to attack. Suddenly  Being hit back by the opponent is often fatal.

    Therefore, a defensive midfielder like Li Gang must have at least one person around him who can hold the ball to help him. Otherwise, the more he grabs the ball, the more mistakes he will make - it doesn't matter if the forward makes mistakes, but the mistakes of the midfielder and central defender do.  Often fatal.

    However, he didn't want to make adjustments just yet. First, his team was still leading, so there was no need to adjust to disrupt his own rhythm when they were leading. Second, if he made adjustments, it would definitely disrupt all the tactics in the midfield.  Such adjustments would do more harm than good.

    He can see that although Qatar has many opportunities, if they can break through the Chinese team, they still need something.

    He is not worried at all about the Chinese team's offense. The combination of Hao Dong and Nie Fei is enough to tear apart the defense of any team in Asia, even if it is just a moment of flash - because in Asia, they are definitely top-notch players.  That level.

    In the 28th minute, Sun Chenghai, who assisted, made a pass from the right. Zhang Yulin and Hao Dong both jumped up to grab the ball. The attacking Qatar goalkeeper beat the two of them and knocked the ball out of the penalty area. The defender immediately made a big kick to clear the ball.

    In the 30th minute, Sun Chenghai advanced again and was brought down by the opponent on the wing. Nie Fei took a free kick and passed it into the penalty area. The Qatar goalkeeper got the ball.

    The Qatar team counterattacked quickly. After receiving a pass from his teammate, Enazi continuously got rid of Li Gang and Li Min who were returning to the defense on the wing. He suddenly shot from the right side of the penalty area. The ball hit the side netting hard, and the hearts of the Chinese fans at the scene followed.  The ball was beating violently with the net.

    Immediately afterwards they got another corner kick, and the ball was taken by Jiang Hai who attacked.

    Seeing that Qatar, which had conceded a goal within the first two minutes, suddenly started attacking, the Chinese fans in the audience were a little dissatisfied - specifically, their cheers suddenly became much louder, even louder than before.

    But five minutes later, their cheers immediately turned into cheers.

    Wu Jiang, who came forward with an assist, handed the ball to Tao Wei in front. Tao Wei took the ball and rushed into the penalty area. As a result, the ball was intercepted by the opponent, but the Qatar defender who intercepted the ball used too much force and was unable to intercept the ball.  The ball was under control, and the ball rolled out of the penalty area under the force.

    The Qatari defender in the penalty area was about to rush out to clear the ball. Nie Fei, who was still five meters away from the ball, suddenly rushed up and kicked the ball without stopping!

    The moment his foot touched the ball, the force-bearing side of the ball obviously deflated.

    "Whoosh!" The ball flew out from Nie Fei's feet like a cannonball. The Qatar defender three meters in front of him didn't even have time to react and watched the ball fly past him.

    The ball drew a slight downward arc in the air. According to the trajectory when it flew out from Nie Fei's feet, the shot should have been higher than the crossbar, but after flying into the penalty area, the ball had obvious  It fell, flew past the hands of the Qatar goalkeeper, who had always performed well, and hit the net hard!

    "Beautiful! World wave!" Wong Tai Sin in the broadcast booth of CCTV Sports Channel roared fiercely: "Nie Fei suddenly stepped in and suddenly hit the goal! The ball flew into the dead center of the goal, two to zero, the Chinese team expanded  score!"

    Amid the cheers of the fans, Nie Fei shook his fist vigorously and hugged other teammates.

    Milu smiled slightly on the coaching bench. This is the role of stars. Before Nie Fei's goal, Qatar and the Chinese team's offensive were on par. Qatar even had an advantage to a certain extent, but Nie Fei's  A sudden flash of light changed everything.

    After the halftime break, Milu did not make substitution adjustments, but only asked to continue to expand the score in the second half.

    The Chinese players did this quickly. Eleven minutes after the start of the second half, Hao Dong received a pass from Sun Chenghai and made a beautiful turn to break into the penalty area. Facing the attacking goalkeeper, he calmly pushed the ball, 3-0.

    This is the fourth goal Hao Dong has scored in four games. He has not yet played in the last game of the group stage. Now he has scored four goals with the Japanese team's Naotai Takahara and Akihun Nishizawa and ranks first in the scorer list.  In the first position, behind them are Li Dongguo and Ali Daei who scored three goals, as well as Saudi Arabian rookie Shahrhoub.

    After taking a three-goal leadMilu replaced Nie Fei and Hao Dong with Zhang Xiaorui and Li Jinyu respectively, and then ten minutes later he replaced Li Gang, who had played all the games, with Zhao Junzhe. The Chinese team, which had used up three substitutions, was obviously in trouble after that.  The attack slowed down and time slowly ran out. Although Qatar's Enazi recovered a point in the 71st minute, this was all Qatar could do.

    The Chinese team became the first team to reach the semi-finals.
