Chapter 253

The subsequent corner kick was taken by Hao Junmin, and Jiang Xiaolin competed for a header in the penalty area.

Jiang Xiaolin was surrounded by three Qatari players, fearing that Jiang Xiaolin would succeed in the header and equalize the score for the Chinese team.

As a result, Hao Junmin's kick was not good, and he used too much force. It went directly over the head of Jiang Xiaolin in the middle and landed at the back point. The Qatari player kicked it out of the penalty area.

Seeing that time was getting less and less, Forlan made a substitution adjustment, replacing the defensive midfielder Liu Jian with the forward Han Peng, letting Han Peng go in front, Jiang Xiaolin retreated and exchanged positions with Qu Bo, Jiang Xiaolin played as the front midfielder, and Qu Bo played as the forward.

The two forwards in the penalty area can involve the Qatari defenders, especially the two central defenders, so that Jiang Xiaolin can get more long-range space outside the penalty area.

This is also a helpless solution.

In the case of the opponent's stubborn defense, the Chinese team can only try to open the opponent's goal with a long shot.

Sure enough, not long after the substitution, in the 88th minute, Jiang Xiaolin got a good long-range shot opportunity. With no one defending outside the penalty area, he shot a long-range shot about 25 meters away from the goal.

Unfortunately, Jiang Xiaolin's luck was a bit bad. He rarely hit the goal frame, but hit the crossbar, bounced back, and was cleared by Qatar's players.

As time passed, the regular 90-minute game time was over, and the game entered the overtime stage. The referee gave 3 minutes of overtime.

Hundreds of Qatar fans who traveled with the team to the away game were already celebrating in a corner of the stands with singing and dancing, while most of the Chinese fans looked ashen, and a few booed Dui in the stands, shouting slogans such as Dui was stupid and Dui was fired.

After entering the overtime stage, Qatar changed another player, replacing the forward with a defender to strengthen the defense.

Moreover, during the substitution, the striker deliberately walked very slowly when he left the field to delay time, which also caused dissatisfaction and boos from the Chinese fans at the scene.

But everyone could do nothing about the Qataris.

The leading side used substitutions to delay time, which was originally part of football tactics.

After the substitution, Qatar was completely defensive and had no intention of counterattacking. Everyone shrank within 30 meters of the goal to defend and did not give the Chinese team any chance.

Even if Jiang Xiaolin wanted to shoot from outside the penalty area, there was basically no chance unless he was willing to retreat 30 meters away.

But at that distance, unless you are very lucky, you can hit a speed of more than 100 kilometers per hour, and the angle must be very accurate to fly into the goal before being saved by the goalkeeper.

But with Jiang Xiaolin's current state, it is almost impossible to shoot at such a speed.

Moreover, it is difficult to accurately control the angle if the distance is too far, even if Jiang Xiaolin's shooting skills are full, he can't do it.

In the 91st minute, Jiang Xiaolin made a long shot from 30 meters away. Although it hit the goal frame, the angle was not sharp. Goalkeeper Saker easily confiscated it, and there was no chance for Qu Bo who rushed in front of him to make a supplementary shot.

The commentator of the National TV Sports Channel explained in frustration at the commentary booth:

"There is not much time left for the Chinese team. The Chinese team is still 0-1 behind. All the Qatari players have retreated to the 30-meter area of ​​the goal and are determined to defend. Even Jiang Xiaolin seems to have no way out. Perhaps the Chinese team will lose today and will be overtaken by the opponent in the standings. I just hope that the Chinese team can reverse and qualify in the next two rounds of group matches."

Some fans couldn't bear to see the outcome of the Chinese team's loss, and turned off the TV with curses.

Most of the fans, players, coaches, etc. on the scene were desperate.

Only Jiang Xiaolin was still working hard.

Although he regretted not adding a team aura before the game, this was not a reason for him to give up.

In the 92nd minute, Jiang Xiaolin was still trying to break through with the ball, wanting to get closer to the penalty area and shoot.

He retreated to the midline to get the ball, turned around, and then rushed into the 30-meter area of ​​Qatar's goal, and was immediately intercepted by two opponents.

Jiang Xiaolin broke through the first one with a fried meatball, and then played a two-pass-one wall match with Zheng Zhi next to him, passed the second person, and came to the front of the arc of the penalty area.

Here, Jiang Xiaolin faced the interception of Qatar's midfielder Talal. In addition, the two players who had just been broken through by him also caught up.

In this game, Jiang Xiaolin has not broken through three people in a row.

This time, everyone also thought that a midfielder, and the two players who turned around and caught up after he broke through, a total of three people, would definitely be able toSurround Jiang Xiaolin.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Xiaolin did not use fried meatballs to break through the opponent this time, but at the moment of approaching, he poked the ball through the legs of the Qatari midfielder Talal who intercepted him: through the crotch.

Jiang Xiaolin completed a difficult and light through the crotch.

Talal reacted the moment Jiang Xiaolin poked the ball and closed his legs, trying to block Jiang Xiaolin's ball, but he failed to do so. The ball still passed through his legs.

Then, Jiang Xiaolin flashed to the side, knocked a Qatari player who was chasing him, and then rushed between him and Talal to catch up with the ball that just passed through the crotch.

Jiang Xiaolin was close to the penalty area line.

In the penalty area, among the three central defenders, one defended Han Peng, one defended Qu Bo, and the other came up to block Jiang Xiaolin.

Moreover, the central defender who was defending Han Peng also gave up Han Peng and stared at Jiang Xiaolin's movements, ready to give up Han Peng to defend at any time, so as not to let Jiang Xiaolin rush into the penalty area and shoot smoothly.

The current situation is that Jiang Xiaolin has a central defender in front to intercept and a central defender to assist, and three players who were broken by him are surrounding him from behind.

There are interceptors in front and pursuers behind, with a total of 5 people staring at Jiang Xiaolin. Even a genius like Ronaldinho will be intercepted, let alone Jiang Xiaolin.

Jiang Xiaolin's breakthrough ability is not as good as Ronaldinho's.

Just when the players, fans and coaches of Qatar were relieved, thinking that Jiang Xiaolin's forced breakthrough would end with him being trapped and intercepted, a player of the Chinese team quietly cut in from the right side, broke into the penalty area, and rushed to the side of the penalty area.

And there was no one defending.

The full-back over there was defending the forward Du Zhenyu.

The Chinese player who suddenly came out from the right side was Sun Jihai, a full-back who played for Manchester City in the Premier League.

As a full-back, Sun Jihai rarely entered the penalty area, so he was not focused on by the opponent.

The Qatari full-back defending the right side was staring at right forward Du Zhenyu.

When he found Sun Jihai entering the penalty area and was about to defend Sun Jihai, Jiang Xiaolin had already spotted Sun Jihai.

Jiang Xiaolin was indeed prepared to do it recklessly and force a breakthrough without anyone defending him, but when he saw a figure wearing Chinese players suddenly appear on the right side of the penalty area and no one was defending him, Jiang Xiaolin changed his mind.

With so many defensive players around him, it naturally meant that Qatar's defense was weak in other places.

The Qataris put most of their defensive energy on themselves, so their defense against other Chinese players was naturally much weaker.

Although the Chinese players were in poor condition, it did not mean that they were not threatening.

If they shot without anyone defending, there would still be a chance.

It's better than Jiang Xiaolin's chance to shoot under the siege of five people.

Therefore, Jiang Xiaolin did not hesitate, first flicked the ball to the left, then dunked it back, dodged an angle, and before being surrounded by five people, he made a light pass to the front of Sun Jihai's running route, giving him a little lead time.

Jiang Xiaolin's short pass attribute is full value.

This pass is so wonderful that it not only successfully avoided the interception of the Qatari defenders, but also rolled to the front of Sun Jihai's running, so that Sun Jihai didn't even need to adjust his pace, just followed the power of the sprint and kicked the ball to the far corner of the goal.

Although Sun Jihai is only a defender, he can gain a foothold in the Premier League, and his footwork is not worse than that of domestic forwards.

The goalkeeper rushed to the right end after seeing Jiang Xiaolin pass the ball. Before shooting, Sun Jihai saw the direction of the goalkeeper's center of gravity moving, so the far corner was just the opposite direction of the goalkeeper Saker's center of gravity moving.

Saker, who was rushing to the right end, saw the ball rushing behind him, and subconsciously fell back, trying to catch the ball, but he missed it by a hair's breadth.

Sun Jihai's shot successfully avoided the save of goalkeeper Saker and rushed to the back of Qatar's goal.

All the Chinese fans in the stands and in front of the TV stared with wide eyes, nervously watching Sun Jihai's sudden inward shot.

The next second, under the gaze of countless fans, the ball hit the far post of Qatar's goal with a bang, and then bounced into the goal.

"Wow..."

The entire Tianjin Olympic Sports Center was boiling instantly.

The fans who were booing Dui and even the national football team a while ago suddenly roared and cheered excitedly, and the thunderous applause and screams resounded through the sky and spread for several miles.

Throughout China, countless Chinese fans also applauded and roared excitedly like the fans at the scene, regardless of whether they would playdisturbing family and neighbors.

In the commentary booth, the commentator of the national television sports channel yelled like crazy:

"The ball is in! The ball is in!"

"The Chinese team finally scored a goal!"

"It was a goal in stoppage time!"

"Sun Jihai suddenly cut in, received a wonderful pass from Jiang Xiaolin, and shot the ball into the goal without stopping!"

"1-1, the Chinese team finally tied the score!"

"The Chinese team retained the second place in the standings and took the initiative to qualify for the group."

"It's so exciting, this is football, you can't imagine what will happen until the end of the game!"
