Chapter 313 The Last Resort!
Hong Kong's goal celebration didn't take long, and soon after the referee's whistle, the game resumed.
Iraq kicks off again.
They are obviously playing a lot more stable, and the coach Vieira's guidance on the sidelines just now is still very effective.
As Iraq becomes more stable, it will be difficult for Hong Kong, China to obtain suppression. After all, their overall strength is still difficult to compare with Iraq.
Iraq's technological superiority is slowly emerging.
They continuously cooperated and passed the ball in the middle. After the football was handed over to the wing, it was passed to the middle. This obvious attack, but the Hong Kong team had few defensive methods in the middle. They could only keep retreating to stop the Iraqi attack.
Iraqi players also have great personal ability advantages. Their passing is more stable and their coordination is more subtle. Between a few passes, it is easy to break through the defense line of Hong Kong, China.
Hong Kong, China is still using chain defense now, but due to the forward pressure of the formation, the defensive effect is a lot worse. On the contrary, Iraq cooperated twice in a row to break through the defense line of Hong Kong, China.
One of them was successful against offside. The striker dribbled the ball to the goal and got a single-handed chance. If goalkeeper Fan Junye had not responded quickly, Iraq would have leveled the score.

off the field.
Wan Sheng stood up from the coaching bench and walked to the sidelines, his eyes never leaving the game.
Now is the most dangerous moment for Hong Kong, China!
The opening wave of attacks went well just now. That's because the Iraqis didn't react. They couldn't adapt to the sudden attack of Hong Kong, China, so they were in a passive situation. But now it's different. After the goal just now, As well as the reminder from coach Vieira, Iraqi players have adapted.
So their strength advantage began to show.
This advantage is somewhat oppressive. But from a data point of view, it is very difficult to completely suppress Hong Kong, China, but one thing is the attributes attached to the coaching skills, as well as the various bonuses of the coaching skills to the ability. After all, it is not the real ability of the Hong Kong players and the whole team. It is very difficult for them to fully play.
Therefore, Iraq is fully capable of suppressing Hong Kong, China.
What Wansheng wants to see is that his team can still threaten, be proactive, and seek counterattack opportunities under this kind of suppression.
That equals success.
On the other side, Iraqi coach Vieira has already sat back on the coaching bench.
The approach of the two coaches is surprising: the leading Hong Kong coach is in a hurry, standing on the sidelines and only playing games; the backward Iraqi coach is not in a hurry. He returned to the coach's bench and raised his toes. A calm look.
If you just look at the score and the performance of the two coaches, you will be very confused, but if you look at the current situation, you will know that there is no danger in the Iraqi backcourt, while the goal of Hong Kong, China is under frequent threats.
It was this situation that reassured Iraqi coach Vieira.
Vieira had been worried just now that Hong Kong, China will take advantage of the situation to suppress Iraq again, and it is likely to score another goal. But now I see that my players are doing well and have adapted to the game. He had nothing to worry about, but began to look forward to his team's performance in the future.
Now that Iraq has the advantage, the only thing missing is the goal.
The game time passed minute by minute.
During the period, the players of the two teams have been fighting hard on the field. Iraq has an overall advantage. Whether it is ball control, passing or shooting, it is much more than Hong Kong, China.
This advantage eventually turned into a goal. In the 35th minute of the game, Iraqi striker Younis received a pass from Hassan from the wing and slammed the ball into the net. The goalkeeper Fan Junye, who was too late to save, had nothing to do Very helpless, can only accept the fact that football scored.
"1:1!"
"Iraq tied the score!"
Younis, who scored a goal, looked very happy. This is his third goal in the Asian Cup. With this goal, he has become the player with the most goals in the Asian Cup.
Three games, three goals, no matter where it goes, the efficiency is quite appalling.
After Iraq equalized the score, the situation did not change. They still took the initiative in the game, and the situation has been suppressing Hong Kong, China.
Looking at Hong Kong, China, they fought very tenaciously. Although they were once suppressed, they were not incapable of counter-offensive. Iraqi occasionally did not pay attention, and Hong Kong, China would still seize the opportunity to pose a threat.
Seeing this, Wan Sheng was quite satisfied.
In the fight between the two teams, the time passed quickly, and in the end, the two teams ended with 1:1 in the first half and entered halftime.
In the Hong Kong team's locker room, many players bowed their heads. They were still a little worried about Wansheng's arrival, because they felt that their performance in the first half was not good.
In the two games against Australia and Thailand, they were in the lead in each game. Now they have been scored a goal and the game situation has been suppressed. Especially when they are still advanced balls, it is inevitably frustrating to think about it.
But unlike what they thought, Wan Sheng had a smile on his face when he entered the locker room. He smiled very relaxedly. After entering the room, he directly praised everyone's performance in the first half.
"Everyone's performance is very good." Wan Sheng said, "Don't worry, your performance has exceeded my expectations!"
Many people raised their heads in disbelief.
I saw Wan Sheng said, "I originally thought that after 45 minutes, I should be behind, but I didn't expect it to be a draw."
"This is beyond my expectations!"
When they heard Wan Sheng's words, the players didn't know why, so they thought the coach was saying something ironic, but looking at the coach's expression, it didn't look like that.
Is that so?
Coach thinks 45 minutes, the team should be behind?
And then they thought again... Yes!
The strength of the team is like this, perhaps because of the first two wins, we also feel that we should beat Iraq, but in fact, the strength of the team cannot keep up with Iraq.
Many players were alerted to it. They only reacted now. They think highly of the team. It must be quite dangerous to play with this mentality.
Seeing everyone's expressions, Wan Sheng nodded with satisfaction. In fact, he just wanted to tell everyone. Don't be affected by previous results. No matter what method you use, you must pay attention to your opponent. No matter what the situation is in the game, you must maintain a normal mentality. "Although it was tied. But it doesn't matter, we haven't lost yet!"
"I've said it a long time ago. The purpose of this game is to exercise offensive ability. You have done a good job. Continue to work hard in the second half. I believe the victory will belong to us."
After praising the performance of the players, Wansheng began to arrange tactics for the second half. The players all listened carefully.
up to now. All players know the importance of tactics.
Wansheng has told them with practical actions that those who do not know the tactics will not even have a chance to play for a minute. They understand the team's tactics and know what to do in the game. They will cooperate as a whole and the performance of the whole team. to be better.
————
Soon the second half of the game began.
Iraq continued its offensive against Hong Kong, China at the opening, even if it was prepared. Hong Kong, China is still being beaten very passively.
But it can be seen that Hong Kong, China played much more systematically than in the first half. Every player in the team is constantly running, constantly fighting, assisting when they have the opportunity, and quickly retreating when defending. Everyone's initiative makes Hong Kong, China, no longer as weak as it was in the first half.
Super Sports S channel commentator Gao Jixian used one word to describe Hong Kong, China, "Tough!"
"Hong Kong, China played very tenaciously. Although they were passive, all the players were actively playing, and coupled with the fierce competition, it was very difficult for Iraq to suppress like the first half."
Not just tenacious!
Iraq soon discovered that Hong Kong, China not only played actively in the game, but also threatened their goal.
In the 67th and 69th minutes, in two minutes, Hong Kong, China, intercepted the ball twice and counterattacked, both of which had threatened the Iraqi goal.
One of them, Zhuo Zhuo, personally received a pass, kicked the ball on the right side of the penalty area, and nearly scored the ball.
After this attack, Iraq no longer dared to underestimate Hong Kong, China, and even head coach Vieira stood up and exhorted the team's backcourt defense.
It must be admitted that Iraq's strength is still very strong, especially the spirit of their players who dare to fight and work hard on the field, which is very difficult for their opponents.
Hong Kong, China has an advantage in confrontation ability. In the match against Thailand, this was vividly displayed, but in the competition with Iraq, the physical advantage was not reflected. Iraqi players seem to be not afraid of injury. You fight hard, they fight harder Fierce, 'pampered' Hong Kong players are really difficult to compare with Iraqi players who may be 'in danger of life' at home. Even if they have a little physical advantage, they are not very optimistic in the fight.
Hong Kong, China played very actively, but the gap in technical strength is difficult to make up for just being active. Therefore, when the game reached 79 minutes, Iraq still got a good chance.
This is a corner kick created by midfielder Muhammad's long shot.
The winger Osheside sent a corner kick, and the ball fell straight in the middle. Goalkeeper Fan Junye failed to keep up with it immediately, seeing that Younis was about to head the goal.
At this moment, Hong Kong's central defender Pan Yaozhuo's eyes flashed fiercely, and he directly pushed Younis to the ground.
The penalty area of Hong Kong, China was a mess, and Nassar next to Younis pushed Pan Yaozhuo. Fortunately, the players on both sides restrained. After all, the two sides can join hands to qualify, and there is no need to fight because of a small conflict.
The referee also stopped the conflict and awarded Iraq a penalty.
Wan Sheng looked at the ball and felt very helpless. Pan Yaozhuo's actions couldn't say anything. If he didn't commit a foul in that situation, Younis would directly score the ball, but the result is not very good now. With a little chance, Pan Yaozhuo also got a yellow card for this.
Wansheng immediately used the active effect of Strong Barrier--
"Fortified Bulwark:
Active activation of all players: The goalkeeper is the last line of defense. Under the power of the strong barrier, the reaction speed of the team you lead, the goalkeeper will increase by 100% (can only be activated once per game, lasts for five minutes, activate Passive loses its effect later). "
This effect can speed up the reaction of goalkeeper Fan Junye, and have the greatest chance to knock down the penalty kick. At the same time, the team's next defense will be worse.
It's a pity that the coach's skills are only auxiliary at most, and the penalty kick is not guaranteed to be hit. In the end, Iraq's No. 9 Nassar still made it overnight and scored the ball cleanly.
1:2!
Iraq overtakes the score!
————
"Nassar! He helped Iraq score a penalty! 1:2, Iraq overtook the score!"
"Eighty-one minutes into the game, Nassar's goal will help Iraq seal the victory!"
"Many people say that Wansheng is a head coach who can create miracles. Hong Kong, China, and Australia and Thailand have won the games before. Losing this one means that Hong Kong, China will meet Japan in the quarter-finals. So can this young Chinese still create miracles!"
After scoring in Iraq, many people are not optimistic about Hong Kong, China.
1:2 Ah!
Hong Kong, China is behind!
Looking at the current situation, it is not easy for Hong Kong, China to equalize the score, so the game is almost over.
"Although Hong Kong, China played quite well, it is still difficult to defeat Iraq in the end..."
Super Sports S channel commentator Gao Jixian said so, the game is only ten minutes away, it is too difficult for Hong Kong, China to equalize the score.
The supporters of Hong Kong, China in the stands are also silent. They feel nothing about losing. Hong Kong, China's results are enough to satisfy all fans, but it is a pity to lose after playing such an active game.
At this moment, Wan Sheng came out of the coaching bench.
He came to the sidelines.
Eyes fixed on the score on the scoreboard, where the "1:2" is particularly dazzling.
Like everyone else thought, he knew that if the game continued like this, the team basically had no chance.
There are still ten minutes left in the game. If you want to score a goal in ten minutes, there is really a slim chance. What's more, when Iraq is in the lead, it will almost certainly strengthen its defense, and Hong Kong, China will not easily find a good opportunity.
So now, only a last resort!
————
The Iraqi players are still celebrating. This is the goal they scored in the final overtake after working hard for the whole game. It is worth their celebration. At the same time, it can kill the game time, which is really good.
At this moment, the big screen camera was pointed to the sidelines, and Wan Sheng was standing there watching the stadium.
This action was originally nothing, the two head coaches have always been on the sidelines and on the bench, but Wansheng suddenly raised his hands.
"Does Hong Kong, China still want to make any changes?"
"By the way, they still have a replacement quota that is useless!"
"Is it going to be replaced?"
"Or what tactical adjustments should be made? It's useless to adjust now, right? It's not bad that Hong Kong, China can be like this!"
"..."
Just as the reporters were talking, Wan Sheng raised his hands high, his five fingers stretched strongly, and immediately, he stretched his arms and pushed forward.
If you often watch Manchester City games, you will definitely feel: "This action seems familiar!?"
