Chapter 223 There is not much time left for the Chinese team

After the match against Singapore, after a day of rest and training, the whole team flew to Jordan in a plane to prepare for the second top 20 group match there.

This game is actually a very critical game, ten times more important than the game against Singapore.

In the first round of group stage, Jordan defeated Iraq 2-0 away and scored three points with the Chinese team. The Chinese team ranked first because of the advantage of goal difference.

But if the Chinese team loses away to Jordan, they will be surpassed by Jordan, and maybe they will be surpassed by Iraq, because Iraq's opponent in the second round is Singapore.

At the same time, from the overall qualifying situation, facing direct competitors, it is best not to lose away. Even if you can't win, you can't lose.

After analyzing this, you will know how important the game against Jordan is.

In a away challenge to Jordan, Gao Hongbo's tactics are mainly based on passing and controlling.

Now that Zhou Yi has come up with the Chinese team, the pass and receiving ability has improved a lot when facing pressing, and Gao Hongbo has the confidence to do something away.

He replaced Zhou Yi in the last game in 70 minutes because he was going to fight Jordan next.

He hopes that Zhou Yi can get more rest because the Chinese team may have to fight Jordan for 90 minutes away. If Zhou Yi has physical fitness problems, it would be bad.

This game has attracted much attention, so even though it was 12 o'clock in the middle of the night in Beijing time, the TV was also surrounded by Chinese fans.

Zhou Jianliang is also among them.

The two sides played in a stalemate in the first half of the game. Chinese midfielder Huang Bowen and Jordanian midfielder Abdel Fatah both received a yellow card.

But no goals were scored.

If this trend continues, it will naturally be beneficial to the Chinese team. From the beginning, the Chinese team hoped to win a draw away.

However, after the two sides changed sides and fought again in the second half, Jordan took the lead in breaking the deadlock!

In the 49th minute, their midfielder Suleiman first broke through the Chinese team's goal!

While the Jordanian player was celebrating the goal, the atmosphere in front of the TV became tense.

Fortunately, in the 56th minute, Hao Junmin used a direct free kick to tie the score for the Chinese team!

"Good! Hao Junmin! Good! Now both sides are back on the same starting line!"

But just as the Chinese fans and commentators breathed a sigh of relief, Jordan had just kicked off and they used a quick attack to pierce the Chinese team's goal again!

The tone of Chinese fans and commentators has not finished yet...

"This..." commentator Liu Hong was stunned. He never expected that the opponent could score the goal just after the kickoff. In an instant, the Chinese team's goal became meaningless and the dream of a draw was gone!

"It's a big deal!" Zhou Jianliang in front of the TV couldn't help but curse. "Are you going to be proud of yourself if you score a goal? It's obvious that you are not focused, so they just hit the football into our penalty area! Fuck!"

Li Cuiyun remained silent beside her. Her husband was fine when he watched Dortmund's game. When he saw the national team game, he was like a different person, with swearing and ruthless at all. She had asked him before that since he was so anxious and angry about the national team game, he might as well stop watching it.

As a result, Zhou Jianliang replied to her: "Can you not want him after hitting him because your son made a mistake?"

"Of course not."

"So it's impossible for me not to watch the national team games!"

Li Cuiyun had nothing to say.

Jordan's goal was a "destructive" blow to the morale of the Chinese team.

Because I just equalized the score, before I finished my happiness, the opponent was led by the opponent again. The feeling was like winning a five million lottery, dancing excitedly in my hand, but it was as desperate as the wind was blown into the sea...

Subsequently, Jordan took advantage of the situation to launch a fierce offensive against the Chinese team's goal, hoping to take the opportunity to win another goal and completely secure the victory.

The Chinese team could only defend passively and all retreated to their 30-meter area.

For a time, the Chinese team was in turmoil and seemed to be able to concede the ball at any time.

Jordanian fans shouted excitedly in the stands to cheer for the team.

The game time passed by minute by minute in Jordan's bombardment, and the eighty minute came.

"In the 80th minute of the game, there is not much time left for the Chinese team..." Liu Hong threw out his classic quote.

Seeing that the Jordan team had been bombarding for so long but had not scored, they simply reclaimed the defense. If the opponent made a counterattack, it would be all over.

There is not much time left now, and if the Chinese team equalizes the score, Jordan will be the least willing to see it.

After they recovered their defense, the Chinese team can finally put on the offense.

Gao Hongbo also made some adjustments, replaced Yu Hai, and replaced Feng Renliang, who had stronger breakthrough ability.

In addition, he replaced defender Liu Jianye with midfielder Wu Xi to further enhance his control and interception ability in the midfield. This is mainly to prevent the Chinese team from counterattacking by Jordan when they pressed on the offense. After Wu Xi came on the court, he could intercept the opponent's counterattack in the midfield, and then handed the football to Zhou Yi to launch a second attack.

Now the situation has become Jordan defending the dead, and the Chinese team is besieging it and fighting the most difficult positional battle.

This is also a time to fully test the Chinese team's offensive organizational ability.

Zhou Yi received the ball and passed the ball again and again, sorting out the situation of the game.

Five minutes later, the Chinese team still failed to score. Most of the time, they could only rely on the simple practice of long shots outside the penalty area and crosses from the wing to threaten Jordan's goal.

However, such offensive methods are too single, and it is easy to defend against it.

Zhou Yi is still receiving the ball and passing the ball, but it seems that more of it is useless... Because most of them are crossing the ball across the side and then crossing the ball across the side, passing from the left to the right, and then from the right to the left, you cannot take a step forward. The final result of such a cross is often a cross from the side, and then the rest is handed over to God. God bless you, if you are lucky, you can score a goal. If God doesn't bless you, if you are not lucky, you will not be able to score the goal.

Jordan's defensive system is very complete, and it is difficult to find a breakthrough by just passing.

"It's the 86th minute, the score is still 1:2, Jordan leads! There is really not much time left for the Chinese team!" Liu Hong shouted.

Zhou Jianliang in front of the TV cursed irritably: "Fuck! You can say something nice! You always say this over and over again, are you annoying?"

※※※

The defense was too dense in the middle, so Zhou Yi came to the left. His teammates passed the football to him, and Zhou Yi advanced along the side and received the ball.

Jordanian defensive player Khalil also forced him up.

Facing the approaching Khalil, Zhou Yi made an action to send the football directly with his right foot - his body tilted slightly to the left, and he made a gesture to lift his right foot.

Khalil immediately rushed up with a slippery tackle, trying to block his pass.

As a result, Zhou Yi only lifted his right leg, but did not really lift it up. The football rolled over in front of him and was blocked by his left foot.

But Khalil slipped out of the sideline...

Zhou Yi stopped in place and watched him go out. Then he tweeted the football forward with his left foot and broke through to the penalty area!

"Zhou Yi, it's a good thing!" Liu Hong shouted excitedly.

However, Zhou Yi soon encountered a blockade from Jordanian players.

Faced with the blockade of the two players, Zhou Yi did not force a breakthrough, but instead used his right foot to dial the football to nearby Hao Junmin.

Then he passed through the two of them while the defensive player in front of him turned his attention to Hao Junmin, and continued to run forward and into the penalty area.

After Hao Junmin received the ball, he saw Zhou Yi breaking into the penalty area. He didn't have time to adjust, so he leaned back, swayed his legs on the spot, and sent the football out. Then he lost his balance and fell to the ground.

But before he fell, he saw Zhou Yi receive his ball!

"Hao Junmin's wonderful pass! Good ball! Zhou Yi received the ball in the penalty area!!"

After Zhou Yi received the ball, he gently knocked the ball towards the bottom line with his left foot outside his instep. The opponent's defender Usman rushed up with great momentum, intending to clear the ball out.

But when he rushed up, Zhou Yi hooked the football back with his left foot!

So Usman also passed by Zhou Yi, then lost his balance and fell to the ground...

This time, Zhou Yi didn't have time to watch the other party slide out. After he hooked his left foot back into the football, the outer instep of his right foot was immediately pointed to the right by the football, and at the same time, he jumped gently on the spot.

Just as he had done all this, another Jordanian defender, Yasin, had already arrived!

Unfortunately, he was a little late, and he didn't play football or defeat Zhou Yi.

In fact, Zhou Yi doesn't have to jump. He can be swept into the penalty area, but this is Jordan's home court. Who knows what extra-plate moves the West Asians will use, so Zhou Yi dare not hand over his fate to the referee.

He always has to hold his destiny in his own hands!

After avoiding Yaxin's attack, Zhou Yi landed on the ground and re-controlled the football with his right foot.

At this time, on his left, two Jordanian defensive players - Usman and Yassin - were already overturned. In front of him were goalkeeper Shafi, who was blocked in the near corner, and several other Jordanian players. They formed an airtight wall in front of Zhou Yi, so that he would not move forward a step or shoot!

But they seemed to have forgotten that Zhou Yi’s more powerful weapon was...passing the ball!

Zhou Yi turned his right ankle outward and rubbed the football. The football crossed the Jordanian wall at the front point and flew to the back point.

There, the Chinese team's high center Yang Xu didn't have to jump, just lean back and swing forward, and a simple header!

Before Jordan goalkeeper Shafi turned over and rushed over, the football flew into the goal that was almost unguarded...

"2:2!!! Yang Xu! Yang Xu! Yang Xu--!!" Liu Hong raised his arms in the studio and shouted. "The Chinese team did it! They did it! They equalized the score at the last moment! Oh oh oh!! But 95% of the credit for this ball must be remembered... Zhou Yi! He went through the tiger's den alone and created such a good opportunity for Yang Xu!"

"Fuck!!!" Zhou Jianliang in front of the TV opened his mouth wide and shouted.

Li Cuiyun looked at the blue veins on his neck and his face turned red.

Although she has watched the ball for the past or two years with her husband, she still can't figure out these fans.
