Chapter 1,234 Victory over Singapore

The match against Singapore is also a match point. If the Chinese team defeats Singapore and Jordan also defeats Iraq, then the Chinese team will qualify one round ahead of schedule.

After some twists and turns against Singapore at home, Camacho did not dare to be careless this time. He sent out all his main players in this battle.

The first one to kick off was the Chinese team. Less than 1 minute into the game, the Chinese team created a threat. Gao Xiaodong made a long diagonal pass from the backcourt to find the space behind the Singapore defense. Han Peng crossed with a header and Qu Bo quickly inserted from the left. In the penalty area, facing the goalkeeper, he attacked from a small angle.

Singapore goalkeeper Lewis had not yet entered the state and was a step late in making the save. However, Qu Bo's ball missed the target slightly and the ball flew close to the goal post and flew out of the baseline.

The Chinese team's attack was a warning, and Singapore immediately became alert and launched a fierce press in its own half, waiting for an opportunity to launch a counterattack.

The stadium was small and had artificial turf, which exposed the technical weaknesses of the Chinese team players. Under Singapore’s crazy pressing, the Chinese team was unable to cooperate in the midfield and in the frontcourt, and made constant passing mistakes.

Singapore used its skillful cooperation to continuously counterattack. In the 7th minute, the Singapore midfielder intercepted the ball. Zufami broke into the left side of the penalty area and volleyed. The ball hit the Chinese team goalkeeper Yang Zhi in the face.

Singapore's tactics were used rationally, giving full play to its strengths and exposing the shortcomings of the Chinese team. In the case of a huge disparity in strength between the two sides, the Chinese team was unable to defeat Singapore for the time being.

Fortunately, Camacho is not a typical Spaniard. He doesn't like ground cooperation very much. When he saw that the Chinese team couldn't cooperate on the ground, he immediately asked the players to give up passing on the ground and directly lob from the center + pass from the side. High-altitude bombing of Singapore.

Camacho played this trick very hard. The Singaporean players were short in stature and not as strong as the Chinese team. In addition, the Chinese team also had high center forwards like Han Peng. Under the high-altitude bombing of the Chinese team, Singapore's defense became very In a state of embarrassment, their offensive players didn't have that much thought to counterattack, and most of their energy was spent on assisting defense.

The intensive defense of the Singaporeans could only temporarily delay the Chinese team's scoring time. Under the continuous offensive pressure, Singapore's defense finally collapsed 30 minutes into the game.

Qu Bo's pass from the wing was blocked and the Chinese team took a corner kick.

Gao Xiaodong passed a low ball forward. China team center back Du Wei rubbed the ball back. Han Peng attracted attention in the middle. Zhao Xu, who was behind the ball, beat the Singapore full-back and scored with a header.

1:0

The Chinese team took advantage of the high altitude to open the scoring.

Faced with losing the ball like this,

Singapore head coach Avramovic is very helpless. With millions of people in Singapore, it is difficult to find a tall defender. The average height is more than ten centimeters shorter than the opponent. It is really difficult to prevent the opponent's header. .

Seeing Zhao Xu's goal, Camacho was relieved. Although the Chinese team had an obvious advantage at high altitude, Singapore's counterattack was not without threats. If they could not score early, being beaten into a counterattack by the opponent would also be troublesome.

After taking the lead, the Huaguo team's long passes became even better. Originally, their formation required pressing forward to seize the ball. Now the Huaguo team is not in a hurry. They can shrink their formation slightly and seize the ball. Attack with long passes and wide crosses.

In the 41st minute of the game, the Huaguo team stole the ball in the midfield, and Huang Bo broke through the bottom along the wing.

The Chinese team counterattacked very quickly, and the Singaporean personnel had no time to defend, allowing Huang Bo to easily pass the ball from the side.

Huang Bo almost aimed at Han Peng and passed the ball. Apart from fouling Han Peng, the Singapore defender could hardly stop Han Peng from heading the ball.

Shaif slammed Han Peng's back from behind, preventing Han Peng from jumping up and charging to the top.

Han Peng fell to the ground, hoping that the referee would call a penalty kick, but the referee ignored it.

Fortunately, the Chinese team counterattacked with many players catching up. Qu Bo grabbed the spot on the wing. He stopped with his chest and passed the ball to the front of the penalty area to find Gao Xiaodong.

Gao Xiaodong kept up with him at high speed and met the ball with a forward kick from the instep.

Gao Xiaodong exerted force on his calf, not much, but the force was considerable. The ball was very fast and flew straight to the lower right corner of the goal against the turf.

Singapore goalkeeper Lewis was ready to make a save, but the ball was too fast. He fell to the ground a beat later and the ball flew from his hand into the net.

2:0

The Chinese team used counterattack to gain another victory.

Gao Xiaodong's goal was beautiful, and the Singaporean fans watching the game also cheered for Gao Xiaodong.

The Singaporean commentator at the scene was very embarrassed and said: "After being eliminated early, the fans came to the stadium to watch the game more because they wanted to watch Gao Xiaodong's performance up close, so the fans' behavior was not a betrayal of the domestic players. , they are just pure appreciation.”

The first half of the Chinese team ended with a 2:0 lead. During the intermission, Camacho made two substitutions. Forward Qu Bo came on, young forward Gao Lin came on, midfielder Huang Bo came on, and winger Yang Fan came on. superior.

These two adjustments are alignment adjustments and do not reduce the attack power. They are mainly about exploring the lineup play style.

In the second half, Singapore started with a fierce attack and caught the Chinese team by surprise.

In the 53rd minute, Singapore missed an excellent scoring opportunity.

Singapore's right wing quickly passed the ball diagonally into the Chinese team's penalty area. Both offensive and defensive players missed the ball. Singapore's Dulic got the ball in front of the penalty area line, but the ball magically hit the crossbar and popped out!

Singapore missed a good opportunity and was impetuous. The Chinese team took the opportunity to score another goal.

This was Gao Xiaodong's personal breakthrough. He broke through in a straight line from the left side of the frontcourt to the right wing. Facing the attack of multiple defensive players, Gao Xiaodong suddenly took a shot.

Gao Xiaodong's shot was so unexpected that goalkeeper Lewis couldn't save it, and the ball rolled into the Singapore goal against the goal post.

3-0

Gao Xiaodong expanded the score advantage for the Chinese team.

After the goal was scored, there was no suspense about the outcome. Camacho replaced Gao Xiaodong with teenager Yu Debao and continued to adjust the lineup.

Although there was no old Gao Xiaodong, the Chinese team's high-altitude bombing tactics were very successful. The Singaporeans still could not stop the Chinese team's attack. In the 68th minute of the game, the Chinese team scored again using a left corner kick.

Hao Jun took a curve ball from the corner and passed it to the goal. Gao Lin beat Dulic and Mustafik and headed the ball into the lower right corner of the goal.

4:0

The Chinese team continued to expand its score advantage.

Subsequently, the Singaporeans had no intention of defending. They spent more energy on offense, hoping to score a goal to save some face.

And this gave the Chinese team more opportunities to counterattack.

In the 75th minute of the game, Yu Debao received a pass from Yang Fan and succeeded in stabbing the goalkeeper, turning the score into 5:0.

After taking a big lead, the Chinese team relaxed a little. In the 80th minute of the game, Singapore quickly counterattacked. Ritchie hit the left and sent a quick cross. Singapore's Qiu Li came forward and shot in the middle. Yang Zhi fell to the ground and was a step too late. , the ball flew into the net from Yang Zhi’s armpit.

1:5

Singapore pulled a goal back.

There were still more than ten minutes left, but neither the Chinese team nor the Singapore team had the intention to change the score. The final score was fixed at 5:1, with the Chinese team beating Singapore away from home.

Since Iraq in the same group defeated Jordan 3:1 in an away game, after the fifth round, Iraq and Jordan had 9 points. Although the Chinese team had 12 points, because the Asian World Cup qualifiers first looked at the goal difference, so the Chinese team The team has not yet been able to qualify early.

In the last round, the Chinese team will have a direct dialogue with Jordan. If the Chinese team wants to qualify, it must ensure that it cannot lose to the Jordan team in the next round.
