Chapter 254

On the court, all the Chinese players rushed towards Sun Jihai like crazy, pulled down Sun Jihai who was running in celebration, and pressed him under their bodies to celebrate like a human pyramid.

Even Jiang Xiaolin did not expect that when the game was behind until the last minute, there would be a sudden turn of events. His wonderful pass actually turned into an assist, helping Sun Jihai score a crucial goal and equalizing the score for the Chinese team.

Therefore, even Jiang Xiaolin, who did not score a goal today, excitedly rushed towards Sun Jihai and celebrated wildly with his teammates.

The Chinese coach, team doctor, and substitute players on the sidelines also celebrated wildly on the sidelines. Even the silent head coach Dui stood up and excitedly waved his fists twice and roared to celebrate.

On the other hand, the Qatar team, whether it was the coach, players or fans in the stands, were all stunned from top to bottom.

Leading for more than 90 minutes, not only the fans, but also the team thought that they had already won the game and were about to get three points away from home, and surpass the Chinese team in the standings.

Unexpectedly, after being happy for more than 90 minutes, the Chinese team seized the opportunity in the last minute and scored a goal in stoppage time.

At this moment, the Qatari players who had just surrounded Jiang Xiaolin regretted it very much.

At that time, if only one person did not follow to besiege Jiang Xiaolin, noticed Sun Jihai's forward cut inside, and blocked Jiang Xiaolin's passing route in advance, the ball would not be lost.

However, there is no regret medicine in the world.

The ball that has been lost can no longer be saved, and we can only try our best to get it back.

Jiang Xiaolin, Sun Jihai and others celebrated crazily for more than half a minute, and finally the celebration was stopped by the referee amid the protests of the Qatari players, and they returned to their own half to wait for the Qatari players to kick off.

As soon as the referee blew the whistle, the Qatari players rushed to the Chinese team's half collectively.

However, in fact, it was just a facade.

Qatar put all its energy on defense in the final stage of the game. Even the forward was replaced. How could they attack?

On the other hand, the morale of the Chinese team was greatly boosted. Everyone was determined to maintain the 1-1 draw and resolutely prevent Qatar from equalizing.

If the Chinese team was in a low state at the beginning of the game and it was getting lower and lower during the game, then after Sun Jihai scored, there was a big rebound.

Now the morale and state of the Chinese team are at least 80% of the level.

Offense may not necessarily score a goal, but defense will definitely not let the opponent score a goal in a short time.

Even if it is a foul, it is worth it.

Qatar's first attack ended with a foul by the Chinese team. The Qatari winger with the ball was shoveled out of the sideline by the back midfielder Zheng Zhi.

Even though Zheng Zhi received a yellow card, he received applause from tens of thousands of Chinese fans at the scene.

Not only that, as the ball went out of bounds, Forlan used this dead ball time to make a third substitution to delay time, making Qatar furious, but helpless.

When Sun Jihai scored, it was already more than 92 minutes.

The Chinese team celebrated for more than half a minute, and then Qatar attacked again, the ball went out of bounds, and the Chinese team made substitutions. In fact, the time had already exceeded 93 minutes.

Therefore, before Qatar's second attack reached the front of the Chinese team's penalty area, it was stabbed away by the winger Du Zhenyu, and Liu Jian kicked the ball into Qatar's half with a big foot. The referee blew the whistle to end the game.

With the scandal of the head coach and the sluggish state of the whole team, the Chinese team still tied Qatar 1-1 at home with Sun Jihai's last-minute goal, retaining the second place in the standings and taking the initiative to qualify for the top 20 group stage.

Amid the carnival of all the players and fans of the Chinese team, the Qatar team left the stadium in frustration, and Jiang Xiaolin also received the reward for this game.

In this game, Jiang Xiaolin did not score a goal or win the game. Only the assist to Sun Jihai earned him 5,000 basic experience points for assists.

In terms of performance, although Jiang Xiaolin had an assist, he was in poor condition and performed poorly. In the end, he only received a qualified evaluation. The 5,000 basic experience points he earned could only be said to have not been deducted.

In the end, Jiang Xiaolin received 5,000 experience points as a reward for this game. Combined with the training experience of the previous few days, Jiang Xiaolin's level of experience rose to level 17, 15,100/300,000.

After the game, although the Chinese team's extra-time equalizer made fans all over the country very excited at the time, they felt a sense of excitement of escaping death.

But after calming down, the overall performance of the Chinese team was criticized by the national media and fans.

Jiang Xiaolin and Sun JihaiOne scored a goal, and the other assisted. They were the heroes of the national football team not losing the game, which was slightly better. The other players were unlucky and were scolded by the media and fans. It seemed that the whole country had formed a politically correct performance of scolding the national football team.

Fortunately, they finally tied in the end and were not overtaken by Qatar.

In addition, in another game, Australia, which ranked first in the standings, unexpectedly lost to Iraq, which ranked last in points, which also added some variables to the qualifying situation of Group A.

After the fourth round, the standings of Group A are Australia with 2 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss and 7 points, ranking first, China with 1 win, 3 draws and 6 points, ranking second in the group, Iraq with 1 win, 1 draw and 2 losses and 4 points, ranking third with the advantage of goal difference, and Qatar with 4 points, but at the bottom of the group due to the disadvantage of goal difference.

All teams still have a chance to qualify, just look at the result of the fifth round.

Because the next round of the Chinese team's match with Iraq will be played at home in the Tianjin Olympic Sports Center, the Chinese team will stay in Tianjin for training in the next few days to adjust their status and prepare for the fifth round of group matches.

During these few days, Dui was called to the headquarters by the Football Committee for a talk. Although he returned to the team in the end, it felt that Dui had lost control of the team.

The person in charge of daily training of the team became the former executive head coach and puppet Forrado. Dui basically only had the nominal head coach card in the national team, and he spoke less and less.

However, no matter who is in charge, winning is everyone's common wish.

As time goes by, the players are less and less affected by Dui's sex scandal, and their morale and status have begun to recover.

Jiang Xiaolin saw it and had more confidence in the next game.

He believed that by the time of the fifth round of the game, the morale and status of the team would definitely not be as low as in the previous round.

As time passed, it gradually came to the evening of June 14th, and the fifth round of the Group A of the top 20 group stage of the South Africa World Cup Asian qualifiers was about to begin. The Chinese team played against Iraq at home.

There is a highlight in this round of games. If the Chinese team and Australia, which are ranked first and second in the standings, both win, the two teams will open up a gap of 6 points and 5 points with the third place respectively, and advance in advance with only one round of games left.

A week has passed, and the fans are also tired of Dui's scandal. Now everyone has finally focused on the game.

Because there is a possibility of advancing in advance, this game has become very important.

Both players and fans are in high spirits.

Fans no longer boo Dui with banners saying "Dui is fired", but hold banners saying "Come on, Chinese team", cheering for the national football team, hoping that the national football team will cheer up, defeat Iraq, and strive to advance in advance.

Before the game started, Jiang Xiaolin spent 7 attribute points, increasing the "speed" of 19 to the full value of 20, and increasing the "curve" and "hook shot" of 13 to 14 respectively, with a balance of 47 attribute points.

With the full value of "speed" and "acceleration", it can be said that Jiang Xiaolin has definitely become the fastest player in the football field. What "wind chasing boy", "son of the wind", "ball lightning" and the like are all dregs in front of Jiang Xiaolin, who has full value of the two speed skills.

After the two skills of "curve" and "hook shot" were increased to 14 points, they basically reached the standard of professional players.

It cannot be said to be 100%, at least when he is conscious, Jiang Xiaolin should be able to guarantee that he can play the arc.

However, the curvature and final landing point of the arc are not well controlled, and it is impossible to use the arc free kick to attack the opponent's goal corner.

Despite this, this is already a very fast progress.

In addition, before the game started, Jiang Xiaolin also checked the team's overall on-site status through the team aura, which was 85%, very good.

Jiang Xiaolin is confident of winning the game.

At 8:00 p.m., with the referee's whistle, the World Cup qualifier between China and Iraq officially kicked off at the Olympic Sports Center in Jinmen City.

The Chinese team won the right to kick off.

The overall morale and state of the Chinese team were much higher than in the previous game, and they used the right to kick off to launch a wave of offensive at the beginning.

Because the last game was not played well, the Chinese team's starting lineup changed several people.

The players who got the starting position naturally had to work hard to show themselves and strive to keep the starting position.

This is also the reason for the team's overall state and morale.

In the first wave of offensive, Cao Yang, the right forward who got the starting position, used a wonderful man-ball split to pass the Iraqi winger on the wing, pushed the attack to the bottom line of the wing, and then under the interference of the opponent's defenderThe ball was passed into the penalty area.

However, the ball was not passed well. Jiang Xiaolin, who followed up in the middle, failed to head the ball, but it fell to the feet of Xiao Zhanbo, the left forward who followed up on the wing.

But Xiao Zhanbo did not stop the ball well at the first try, and was approached by the Iraqi full-back. Finally, under the interference of the opponent's defender, he did not hit the ball accurately and kicked it out of the baseline and hit the side net.

People with a bad angle thought it was a goal, but in fact it was not, it just hit the side net.
