Chapter 251

The poor on-field condition of the Chinese team made the fans feel very uncomfortable, and the players on the field also played with fear.

Fortunately, the configuration of the double defensive midfielder was much more powerful in defense. Except for the penalty kick, they could block Qatar's attack with the advantage of numbers at other times.

After all, there was Jiang Xiaolin in the front, and Qatar itself did not dare to go all out and invest all its strength in the attack.

It was just that the Chinese team could still defend the attack in the middle and front fields.

But the fans felt uncomfortable watching it.

Everyone originally thought that they could beat their opponents 2-0 in the hot away game, and they would definitely play more easily when they returned to the home court, and they would definitely win the game and ensure the second place in the group.

Unexpectedly, the Chinese players were in such a bad state in this game. Instead, the Qatari players seemed to have taken stimulants and suppressed the Chinese team at the Chinese team's home court.

Of course, everyone can think that the fundamental reason for the low state of the Chinese players is the scandal that Dui broke out yesterday.

The scandal of the head coach made the Chinese national football team the center of public opinion, which put a lot of pressure on the players. The players performed poorly on the field, and presented a game that was like shit to the fans.

Therefore, the voices of booing the home team in the stands became more and more.

Of course, it was not mainly the players who were booed. People were more booing the head coach Dui, shouting slogans such as Dui was stupid and Dui was fired, and the momentum was amazing.

The Qatari players naturally didn't care who the fans booed, as long as they knew that they were not booed.

At this time, it was natural to take advantage of his illness and kill him, just attack with all their strength and try to expand the score.

The score of 1-0 would not reassure the Qataris, after all, the Chinese team still had the super shooter Jiang Xiaolin.

Although Jiang Xiaolin seemed to be in average condition, who knew when Jiang Xiaolin would suddenly break out and score a goal to tie the score?

You know, Qatar is now third in the group, 2 points behind the second-placed Chinese team.

For the Qatar team, only by winning this face-to-face match can they overtake the Chinese team and gain the initiative to qualify for the group.

Therefore, even though they were already leading 1-0, Qatar did not give up the attack, but actively pressed forward, trying to take advantage of the Chinese team's low state to score another goal and expand the score.

If it weren't for Jiang Xiaolin, Qatar might have really expanded the score.

Fortunately, the Qatar team could not devote all its strength to the attack, and after adapting to several games, the Chinese team's double defensive midfielder tactics became more and more proficient.

Although the state was not good, it was still no problem to defend the penalty area with the advantage of numbers.

After all, Qatar was not a strong team, and there was no world-class offensive lineup. Facing the Chinese team's shrinking defense, except for the unexpected penalty kick, they could not break the Chinese team's goal.

As a result, the scene formed a deadlock with Qatar pressing the Chinese team and the Chinese team defending awkwardly, but the score of 1-0 was maintained until the end of the first half.

During the period, Jiang Xiaolin tried to counterattack with the ball twice. With Jiang Xiaolin's speed and dribbling skills, he did pose a certain threat, but because Huang Bowen, Hao Junmin and others had to assist in the defense, no one rushed up to cooperate with Jiang Xiaolin in the attack, so that the Qatari players could concentrate on defending him alone.

In this case, even if Jiang Xiaolin was very capable, he could not break through Qatar's entire defense alone.

The most threatening time was when he shot on the penalty area line after breaking through two people, but it was still missed by the opponent's defender.

Another attack did not even complete the shot, and the ball was intercepted by two opponents.

After 2 minutes of stoppage time, the referee blew the whistle to end the first half. The two sides entered the halftime break with a score of 0-1, and Qatar, who played away, led by 1 goal.

During the halftime break, the players of the Chinese team were dejected and Dui was silent. The executive head coach Forado asked Dui, and Dui let him decide for himself.

Then, Forlan made a substitution adjustment, replacing Huang Bowen, the attacking midfielder who was slightly injured in a defense in the first half, with No. 23 Qu Bo as the attacking midfielder.

But Forlan had no way to improve morale.

Dui's scandal was not something he could solve.

Moreover, in front of Dui, he could not say anything to blame the head coach to divert attention.

The same was true for the players, because Dui was in the locker room, and it was not easy for everyone to complain in person, so they could only suppress their depression in their hearts.

Jiang Xiaolin also frowned, regretting that he did not strengthen the team aura before the start of the game.

If this game is lost, the Chinese team will slip to third in the group, and the initiative will be lost.

Even in the endIf the Chinese team wins both rounds, but Qatar also wins, Qatar will still qualify.

Therefore, if the Chinese team loses today's game, it will be very uncomfortable. They can only look at other people's faces and see whether Australia will fight Qatar to the death in the next round.

It feels terrible to not be able to control your destiny.

You can only continue to work hard in the second half and try to score a goal to tie the score.

As long as you get a draw, it is much better than losing, at least your destiny can still be in your own hands.

Jiang Xiaolin can't care about others, and he secretly encourages himself in his heart.

After a 15-minute break, the two sides changed sides and fought again.

In the second half, Qatar still took the initiative and pressed the Chinese team, which made the Chinese fans at the scene and in front of the TV very angry, but there was nothing they could do.

Fortunately, Qatar's attack was mostly thunderous but small, which seemed to be amazing, but it could not pose a fatal threat to the Chinese team.

But on the Chinese team, Jiang Xiaolin could only occasionally get the ball and launch a counterattack, but most of the time it didn't work.

The two sides maintained a 0-1 deadlock until more than 70 minutes.

As the game time passed, the time left for the Chinese team became less and less, and Jiang Xiaolin increasingly regretted not adding the on-the-spot attribute of the team aura before the game started, which resulted in his inability to counterattack now.

However, despite this, Jiang Xiaolin still did not give up, and still rushed left and right to run out of space, and then waited for his teammates to pass the ball.

In the 73rd minute, midfielder Liu Jian intercepted the ball at the opponent's feet, and Jiang Xiaolin turned and rushed towards the Qatar penalty area.

If Liu Jian had sent a good ball at this time, it might have posed a threat.

Unfortunately, Liu Jian passed the ball crookedly, and the opponent's player intercepted it halfway, and it didn't reach Jiang Xiaolin's feet at all.

This is a manifestation of the poor state on the field. The Chinese team did have the opportunity to counterattack, but the teammates were in poor condition and had bad luck. With so many people in the backcourt, basically no good pass was made throughout the game, resulting in Jiang Xiaolin not receiving any good passes to pose a threat.

This time, Liu Jian's pass was just a microcosm of the entire game.
