Chapter 184 Wu Lei's Goal
On the evening of October 10, Huaguo time, the fourth round of the 11 World Cup qualifiers in the Asian region's top 2018 group matches kicked off. The Huaguo National Men's Football Team went to Tashkent to challenge Uzbekistan.
10月6日的第三轮赛事华国足主场3-1战胜叙利亚，前三轮全取9分正是士气正旺之时。
Lippi still uses the original main lineup for this battle. Compared with the first battle in Syria, the starting list has been adjusted by 3 positions. Zhang Mai, Zheng Zhi and Yan Junling returned to the starting lineup.
Uzbekistan won consecutive victories in the first two rounds, but lost to Iran at home in the last round. Heinrich and Ismailov, who played for Changchun Yatai, were suspended for accumulative yellow cards. Jeparo, the core backbone who was in trouble with injuries before Hughes, Ahmedov, and Krimets and Sergeyev who played for BJ Guoan all entered the starting lineup.
"Looking at Uzbekistan's posture, they want to win us at home!"
As usual, Huang Tao, who is in charge of China Television's live broadcast, pointed out Uzbekistan's intentions.
"Nonsense! Who doesn't want to enter the World Cup? Uzbekistan even used the strongest combination of personnel, but it depends on whether Zhang Mai agrees."
Zhan Jun, who has personally experienced the last round of turmoil, only believes in Zhang Mai.
"The fact that Wu Lei wants to break the scoring shortage that was spread before the game may become more difficult!"
Huaguo football media people have never been so relaxed when facing a strong Asian team. Huang Tao actually took the initiative to bring up the pre-match gossip.
"Well! The Huazu team scored 10 goals in three rounds, Zhang Mai scored 6, Zhang Yulin scored 3, captain Zheng Zhi picked up a penalty kick, Zhengyin striker Wu Lei should also score, the same sentence: let Zhang Mai answer no promise."
Zhan Jun still has the look of "don't eat oil and salt, only believe in Zhang Mai".
While the two were gossiping about each other in the live broadcast room, Chang Bian had already released the starting list of both sides:
Uzbekistan: 4-3-3
21 - Lobanov;
20-Tukhtahujayev, 2-Krimetz, 13-Hashimov, 19-Denisov;
7- Haidarov, 8- Jeparov, 9- Ahmedov;
4-Bikmayev, 11-Sergeyev, 23-Shomurodov.
Chinese team: 4-2-3-1
23-Yan Junling;
21-Li Xuepeng, 6-Feng Xiaoting, 6-Cai Huikang, 5-Zhang Linfan;
10-Zheng Zhi, 4-Liu Jianye;
16-Sun Ke, 13-Zhang Mai, 11-Zhang Yulin;
7- Wu Lei.
"Okay! I admit that Lippi pays more attention to Uzbekistan. The Hua Guo team has a "4-2-3-1" anti-counterfeiting lineup. Zhang Mai and his teammates unanimously support Wu Lei to break the ball, so that the impact will be stronger. Zhang Yulin, who scored more efficiently, dropped back to play as a forward."
When Zhan Jun saw the Hua Guo team's lineup, he knew that the Hua Guo team supported "Wu Lei Po Dan".
The referee team sent by the AFC came from Saudi Arabia, and the referee was 40-year-old Mohammed. Before the game, Crott called and told Zhang Mai that he was also an underground court of our army.
At the beginning of the first half of the game, Uzbekistan, eager to take all three points, implemented a quick full-court fight at the beginning, and the formation was heavily forward, which quickly reflected the ability of the ball to pass and run.
The Huaguo players, who were fighting hand-to-hand, had difficulty adapting for a while, and retreated to their own half in the defense. Zhang Yulin and Wu Lei were on the front line, and Zhang Mai in the back integrated into the midfielder team of Zheng Zhi and Liu Jianye.
In the 3rd minute, Tukhtahujayev made a mistake in returning a pass and gave the Huaguo team a corner kick. Zhang Mai quickly passed the ball to create a certain threat, forcing the goalkeeper to hit the ball with a single punch.
In the 6th minute, the Huaguo team won another corner kick by Wu Lei through the cooperation of Zhang Yulin on the left. Zhang Mai's fast cross was punched out by the goalkeeper on Wu Lei's head.
The height conditions of Zhang Mai and Zhang Yulin made Uzbekistan very nervous in corner kick defense.Tukhtahujayev once again made a mistake in handling the ball in the backcourt, appearing extremely nervous. .
The Huaguo team in the away game suppressed their opponents for a while, which made Uzbekistan coach Babayan very dissatisfied and kept yelling on the sidelines.
Uzbekistan quickly adjusted its attack route and re-established the initiative through wing attacks. After a quarter of an hour of the game, it has formed a 63% ball possession advantage.
In the 21st minute, Hashimov collided with Sun Ke when he made a strong attack from the right. Sun Ke, whose knee was injured, was carried back to the locker room by the team doctor. The Chinese team was forced to change players.
The Huaguo team gradually adapted to Uzbekistan's game rhythm. They won consecutive free kicks in the frontcourt through scrambling and breakthroughs. Zhang Mai's free kicks passed repeatedly to find Wu Lei. Unfortunately, Wu Lei, who is short and thin, couldn't compete with the opponent's tall defender. , Let the ball pass the goal.
Denisov also continued to press forward on the left, causing Zhang Linfan and Liu Jianye to foul one after another. Uzbekistan's free kick impact created continuous pressure on the Hua Guo team's defense.
In the 31st minute, Uzbekistan formed a very threatening offensive:
Ahmedov made a strong pass back from the bottom line on the left. Sergeyev, who responded from the front point, attacked the goal in front of the small penalty area line. Yan Junling reacted quickly and blocked the shot.
Before the end of halftime, Liu Jianye, who was constantly attacking from the left, won consecutive set kicks. The Chinese team tried hard to contain the opponent with a quick attack. Referee Muhammad received a yellow card.
The two sides fought to a 0-0 draw in the first half.The Hua Guo team basically handed over the right to fire to Wu Lei, but unfortunately Wu Lei failed to form a shot. Uzbekistan, which had the upper hand, had 6 shots (1 shot on target).
"Statistics show that the first quarter of the second half was the main period for Uzbekistan to score goals."
Li Tong sounded the alarm for the players in the locker room in the second half, and must pay attention to the defense at the beginning of the game.
In the second half, the Chinese team's formation was stretched, so Uzbekistan was continuously attacked by Uzbekistan.
In the 48th minute, Shomurodov made a cross in front of the goal in a fast break. The three Uzbekistan outflanked and all missed the ball. The Huaguo team escaped.
In the 50th minute, Uzbekistan scored a goal: Feng Xiaoting made a header clearance error, Somurodov cut in from the right wing and passed a diagonal pass to the left space, Bikmayev decisively attacked the back corner of the goal, the ball hit the inside of the post and then crashed into the network.
0-1!The Hua Guo team was one point behind, and the scene also seemed quite passive.
On the other hand, Uzbekistan's morale was greatly boosted, and while most of the Chinese players were still in a state of confusion, they continued to attack and formed rapid impacts in a short period of time.
In the 55th minute, Sergeyev's long-range shot from the front of the penalty area hit the Hua Guo team's crossbar.
no!We can no longer pin our hopes of scoring goals on the weak Wu Lei.
Zhang Mai exchanged opinions with his teammates, pushed Zhang Yulin to the center position, and let Wu Lei return to the right side he was familiar with.
As soon as Zhang Yuning took the role of the arrow in the middle, he created a fast-break opportunity for Wu Lei through a diagonal pass. Wu Lei cut inside the penalty area to get rid of the two defenses, but he did not use his strength when he kicked the goal. Uzbekistan goalkeeper Lobanov confiscated the ball.
For a period of time thereafter, the Huaguo team contained Uzbekistan's offensive, and Zhang Mai organized his own offensive tide.
In the 64th minute, Zhang Mai gave Wu Lei on the right side in the midfield split. Wu Lei quickly made a pass from the bottom, and Zhang Yulin beat Hashimov's header back in the middle.
Zhang Mai, who followed behind, hit the ball with a kick. The long-range shot that can be called the world wave broke through the gate of Uzbekistan, 1-1!The Chinese team equalized the score.
It was finally a return goal, but the situation of the Hua Guo team did not completely improve. The Uzbekistan players took the initiative in the fight through their physical strength advantages and fierce kicks.
In the 69th minute, the Huaguo team was still unable to form an effective possession of the ball. Zhang Mai had to strengthen his personal dribbling and breakthrough, and was fouled by Uzbekistan players in the midfield.
The referee Mohammed immediately warned the three Uzbekistan players involved, but it aroused Uzbekistan's dissatisfaction and rebound.
Jeparov, who once won the Asian Footballer of the Year, waved his arms to drive the fans to the scene, but was judged by the referee to delay time and received a yellow card.
In the 75th minute of the game, the physical fitness of the Uzbekistan players has also declined. On the other hand, the Hua Guo team still has enough energy and gradually began to increase their pressing efforts.
In the 80th minute, Zhang Yuning moved too much in the frontcourt and kicked Jeparov over. In view of Jeparov rolling and screaming on the ground, the referee Muhammad had to give Zhang Yulin a yellow card.
In the 84th minute, Zhang Mai launched an offensive from the left. Wu Lei broke into the penalty area and received a ground ball from Zhang Mai. The goalkeeper confiscated the goal from a small angle.
In the 86th minute, the Hua Guo team's continuous offensive finally paid off:
The Uzbekistan player made a clearance in the penalty area and kicked towards his own goal. The ball went above the crossbar and the Hua Guo team won a corner kick.
After Zhang Mai sent a corner kick into the penalty area, Zhang Yulin headed the goal in the penalty area. The ball changed slightly after hitting the Uzbekistan player and flew towards the right post.
Wu Lei, who had been waiting for the entire game, turned into a ghost and emerged from a group of exhausted Uzbekistan men, facing the empty goal in one fell swoop.
2-1!The Hua Guo team overtook the score near the end of the game, and the "Wu Qiuwang" finally got his wish.
It took more than a minute for Zhang Mai to lead a group of teammates to celebrate the goal. After the re-kick-off, the reversed Uzbekistan players began to counterattack frantically.
The regular time is up, and when the referee Mohamed gave 4 minutes stoppage time against the boos of the fans, the desperate Uzbekistan players became even more crazy.
In the 93rd minute, Cai Huikang received a yellow card for blocking the opponent's attack, and Uzbekistan got a free kick in front of the penalty area.
Jeparov is not Zhang Mai, and the last free kick went above the crossbar.
The referee Mohamed's final whistle sounded, and the Hua Guo team finally defeated Uzbekistan 2-1 in an away game, continuing their winning process.
