Chapter 170 Battle of Tianhe
After receiving a comprehensive examination arranged by Chelsea, Zize chose to receive treatment. However, the recovery period of this treatment is very fast, which is also commonly known as conservative treatment. He rested for a week in London. He planned to have three days before the national team game, which is June 1st. On Children’s Day, I flew to Guangzhou to meet with the national team.
Zice's personal wishes, he definitely hopes to participate in the two games against Iran and South Korea, but the injury situation forced him to withdraw from the national team's joint training. Like the usual mid-week national team games, he will not participate in the joint training. Practice and go directly to the competition.
This is normal for a big-name superstar like Zize, especially now that he is still injured. In fact, the best choice is not to participate in Iran's game, have a good rest, and then give his best in the game against South Korea. go.
But who can guarantee victory?
When Zize was there, he had not yet been able to win against Iran. The level of the South Korean team was actually no worse than that of Iran, and was even better. The Chinese team defeated the South Korean team. In addition to Zice, part of the reason was that the entire national team had a stronger sense of confrontation against South Korea. Many fans and even players regard the Koreans as mortal enemies that must be defeated, while Iran does not have such a strong confrontational mood.
This kind of sentiment can make up for the gap in strength in a good direction, but if there are bad signs, a collapse is not unimaginable.
If they lose both games, the Chinese team will fall to the third place in the group, and then compete with the third place in another group for a qualifying match, and then compete with the third place in the Central American group for a World Cup ticket.
In this case, there are too many variables!
Qize doesn't like things with too many variables. I believe most Chinese fans think so too. As the new Asian champion, he should have a direct path to the World Cup!
The popularity of the Champions League has not subsided, and Chinese fans have ushered in the World Cup that interests them even more. The sixth round of the top ten Asian qualifying matches for the World Cup will begin. In this round, the Chinese team will play at home, and the home court selected by the Football Association is Guangzhou Tianhe Sports Center, the opponent is the Iranian team, a traditional strong team in West Asia.
A week before the war, half good news and half bad news came from the Chinese team. The good news was naturally that Chinese players once again stood on the Champions League podium to receive awards. The bad news was an announcement from Chelsea Club after the game. Player Qize was in the game. After the examination, it was found that the knee was slightly sprained.
Zice himself stated on Weibo that he would follow the Chinese national team to participate in the two World Cup qualifiers in early June. However, many fans are still worried about whether Zice's injury will affect his condition. After all, in the next two games But they were all fierce battles.
Many fans left messages on Zice's Weibo, expressing the hope that Zice would recover from his injury before playing again. Zice, who is far away in London, also expressed his gratitude to the fans for their concerns.
certainly,
This matter is indeed of great importance. Qi Ce and Wu Jiawen, who came to the UK, carefully analyzed the pros and cons. The most important of them is the current situation of the Chinese team in the standings.
Twelve points in five games does look good, but Iran has maintained a unbeatable record so far. With fifteen points in five games, it has basically booked a direct qualifying spot. The only thing left is who can get the other two teams, South Korea and China. A question of direct qualification quota.
Although the Chinese team has basically secured the top three in the group, there is an essential difference between third and second.
If we suffer two consecutive defeats in the next two games, we will definitely fall to third place in the group with 12 points from seven rounds. In this case, even if we get all three points against Lebanon in the last round, we will only get 15 points. , it is impossible for Iran to catch up, and the Korean team will depend on the situation.
If South Korea defeats China, it will win one of the other two games - this is not very difficult, because South Korea's opponents in the other two games are Iran and Lebanon. Let's not mention Iran. Lebanon is very important to the Koreans. Nine times out of ten, South Korea can get at least six points, which is higher than the Chinese team's fifteen points.
So a conclusion was drawn.
At least we must play against South Korea!
As long as they can get even one point from South Korea, it will be equivalent to holding back South Korea's progress. Then in the final round of the game against Lebanon, the Chinese team will strive to win, and the Chinese team can get 16 points.
However, we must also consider the possibility of the South Korean team defeating Iran, so the best result is still to play both games.
…
In June, summer is here.
June is the graduation season, a harbinger of the coming summer vacation, a season suitable for sunshine, beaches, and seaside. If there are world competitions, it may also be sports, and it is the summer of football. However, there are no world competitions or World Cup qualifiers this year. It's the most important event.
On the first day of June, Qice appeared at Shenzhen Bao'an International Airport. This time, the Football Association considered that Qice was too famous and there were too many fans who came to pick him up. Taking into account Qice's recent injury, the Football Association came to pick him up. Too many fans on the plane would disturb the rest, so I booked a flight to Shenzhen.
It only takes more than an hour to get from Shenzhen Airport to Tianhe Stadium, and it takes about 40 minutes to get to Tianhe Stadium from Baiyun Airport, which is not much different.
Gao Hongbo had a phone call with Qice before he arrived in Shenzhen, and said that Qice would not start the game against Iran, but would go to the bench to observe the situation on the field before making a decision, and try to avoid injuries because of the match against Iran. South Korea's game is the top priority. South Korea is currently the main competitor with the Chinese team. Iran's clear goal in this game is to maintain a tie and win.
Qi Ce also agreed with this decision, which was also the best decision under the current circumstances.
However, this will disappoint many fans who come to Tianhe Stadium. Qice is very popular in Guangdong. The main reason is his milk tea brand. Guangdong is the main battlefield of Qice milk tea brand. Currently, there are There are more than 30 stores, and dozens of them have been opened in Shenzhen. Guangzhou has even more stores than Shanghai. There are only more than 20 Q iced tea stores in Shanghai.
In addition, Zice also personally discovered a Guangdong player, Chen Chaojie, who is currently playing for Sparta Rotterdam. Although there are more and more players studying abroad, overall there are only about ten players worth looking forward to. Among them, Chen Chaojie, who was born in 1995, is the youngest and most promising star.
The combination of these elements makes Qice very popular in Guangdong. In terms of domestic support rate, it is second only to Shanghai.
But in the game against Iran, Zize could only watch from the bench during the opening stages.
The starting lineup for today's game against Iran has also been released. Gao Lin is partnered with Wu Lei as a forward. The two are one behind the other. Wu Lei is looking for opportunities behind Gao Lin, which is equivalent to a shadow forward. On both sides are Yu Hai and Hao Junmin. The midfield partners are Yang Hao and Zhao Xuri, the center back combination is Feng Xiaoting partnered with Du Wei, Li Xuepeng and Zhang Linpeng are on both sides, and the goalkeeper is still Zeng Cheng.
Iran's side includes Nekonan, Dejaga, Shejai and other stars who all started, as well as a young player Jahanbakhsh who is only 20 years old. These are Iranians who are or have been all-powerful in Europe. In addition, most of Iran is composed of domestic leagues. There are not as many overseas players as Japan and South Korea, but they are very strong.
In the last round at the Asadi Stadium in Hedland, Zize also lost 2:3 with Zize on the court. Now that Zize is not on the court, the gap in strength between the two sides is even greater.
But everything still depends on the specific situation on the field.
In the absence of Qi Ce, the Chinese team's tactics are very clear: set up the bus!
Only Gao Lin and Wu Lei were left in the frontcourt to prepare for a counterattack. The rest were defending in their own half. In the first half, they actually withstood the impact of the Middle Eastern cavalry. The Chinese team's defense was in threes most of the time. As a central defender, Zhang Linpeng is also used as a central defender in the middle, and his wings are defended by Yu Hai who retreats, while Hao Junmin is often used as a midfielder in the middle.
When counterattacking, Gao Lin would often pull to the side, and Wu Lei would run behind him. Although he didn't hit many counterattacks, Wu Lei had a shot that was quite threatening.
This is when Feng Xiaoting dodged the press after stealing in the backcourt, and drove forward with his big foot. Gao Lin's header went backwards, and Wu Lei came in very fast and broke out from the crowd!
This is almost a semi-solo opportunity!
But Wu Lei's push shot hit the Iranian goalkeeper and went out of bounds!
This was the Chinese team's best chance in the first half and the only shot that hit the target. But what is surprising is that Iran actually did not have many good opportunities.
Under Gao Hongbo's determined approach, the Iranians only had seven shooting opportunities, two of which hit the target, which was not outstanding.
