The victory in this game undoubtedly puts the national team in a very favorable position. Currently, the C national team ranks first in Group D with 4 points, Uzbekistan ranks second with 3 points, and Syria

Ranked third with 2 points, India is at the bottom with 1 point. It can be said that the C national team has already entered the top 8 with one foot, unless it loses to India by a big score in the last round and the outcome of Syria and Uzbekistan is not a draw, as long as

It's not stupid, this kind of result will almost never happen.

After the game, Su Maozhen asked the players to keep up their efforts and try their best to win the last opponent.

At 21:30 Beijing time on September 27 (17:00 local time), the two games of Country C against India and Uzbekistan against Syria started at the same time. In this game, Li Zhao finally entered the starting lineup.

.

The starting lineup of the Indian national junior team is - goalkeeper: Bhattacharjee, defenders: Rawat, Gaga, Sajid, Mendes, midfielder: Sazekar, Allen, Harmanpreet, Ra

Mzanwa, forward: Uttam, Daniel.

The venue at the competition site was not very good, even uneven in some places. The audience at the site was sparse, mainly local Chinese and overseas Chinese. But there was nothing we could do about it. After all, attention to an event like this was limited, and besides,

We are abroad, and foreigners will not cheer for a game that has nothing to do with their own country.

In the 4th minute, Liu Hao dribbled the ball from the right and cut inside laterally. He played a two-on-one with his teammates and entered the penalty area. Unfortunately, he was cleared by the Indian team first. In the 6th minute, Chen Kerui got the ball from the left and dribbled horizontally, kicking from the outside of the penalty area.

Anti-aircraft guns were fired at the door. In the 9th minute, No. 15 Allen of the Indian team shot a long shot from outside the penalty area. In the 16th minute, the C national team passed a long pass over the top, and the opponent's goalkeeper abandoned the goal and blocked Liu Hao's shot.

One minute later, in the counterattack, Chen Kerui's long shot from outside hit the target again.

In the 19th minute, it was the Indian team that broke the deadlock first. During the counterattack, they passed a diagonal pass from the left into the penalty area. The player from China C made a big-footed clearance and kicked the ball empty. Behind him, Li Hailong turned around to make a clearance and accidentally fell down. Daniel of the Indian team missed a kick.

The push shot hit the far corner, 1-0.

However, the national junior team did not mess up their position. Just one minute later, the C national team tied the score. Li Zhao's powerful shot created a corner kick and drove the right corner kick to the center. Wang Jinxian jumped high and raised his head.

The ball hit the goal, the ball bounced off the ground and flew over the opponent's goalkeeper into the net, 1-1.

In the 25th minute, Zhang Yuning cut in from the left side of the frontcourt and missed. In the 31st minute, Wang Jinxian dribbled the ball from the left into the penalty area and shot a diagonal shot that was confiscated by the opponent's goalkeeper. In the 32nd minute, the C national team overtook the score, Liu Hao

The ball was passed from the right to Zhang Yuning who was at the top of the penalty area. Zhang Yuning turned around and volleyed directly. The ball hit the opponent's player and refracted into the net, 2-1.

"Beautiful, we have overtaken the lead. In this case, the C national team should be stable." The CCTV host said.

But what I didn't expect was that his argument seemed to become a watershed. After that, the C national team seemed to start to play more conservatively. If the only one who was still positive at this time was Li Zhao, he wanted to continue to expand the score.

Advantage, but he had no choice but to get the ball several times and rarely followed up with his collaborators, resulting in his organization of offense being greatly compromised. Even if the coordination was successful, the ball would reach the feet of his teammates, and most of them would be ended by an unreliable shot. Chen Kerui

It was a waste of perfect opportunities twice in a row.

The inaction of national team C finally laid hidden dangers for itself. Before the end of the first half, the Indian team attacked the frontcourt of national team C, and the opponent's No. 13 player fell in the penalty area, but C

The national team player did not commit a foul, but unfortunately the referee mistakenly awarded the opponent a penalty kick. Defender Li Hailong stepped forward to argue with the referee, but instead received a yellow card. Mendes took the penalty kick and scored with a powerful shot, 2-2.

, the score was equalized in this way, and the first half was finally settled on this score.

In the players' lounge, Su Maozhen said: "The performance in the first half was decent, but it was too early to defend passively, and the opponent equalized the score before halftime. Although the ball was controversial, you still have to control the rhythm.

, you can’t be too relaxed, after all, it’s an away game, so be careful with your movements.”

However, the other players didn't seem to care much. Seeing their appearance, Su Maozhen shook his head, thinking that a draw was not unacceptable. After all, the opponent's strength was not very good. Just look at the performance in the first half. As long as the final

If you don't lose, you can guarantee your place in the promotion. Just when I was thinking about this, I really didn't expect Li Zhao to speak.

Li Zhao was also disappointed with everyone's attitude, so he felt the need to speak. He said: "Everyone, I would like to ask, why do we adopt a passive defense strategy?"

One player didn't care much about the coach's words and said directly: "Anyway, we have the advantage. In the end, as long as we advance, it's fine. Even a draw is not unacceptable!"

Li Zhao looked at him and asked for a long time: "How strong is the Indian team?"

The player said unhurriedly: "It goes without saying that we are the weakest among the four teams. It's not me saying that, even if we don't attack, it won't be easy for them to break our goal. That's it.

The equalizer still has to rely on the help of the referee. At worst, if they score another goal in the second half, it will be safe again. Why are you so worried!"

"I finally understand why our results always fail to improve. It's because of this mentality. Of course what you said is good, but basing your hopes on the performance of your opponents has its own problems." Li

He said angrily, and his words really stunned the coach as well.

Li Zhao did not wait for others to speak, and then said: "If it is a strong opponent, it is indeed right to do so. But our strength is stronger than India, why should we adopt a passive defense method? We should not take the initiative to attack. Don't think

The opponent is really as weak as you think. I have studied the opponent's previous games. In the qualifiers, their results were very good, with three wins and one loss. In the first two games, they lost 2-3 against Uzbekistan.

They also tied with Syria 0-0; if they want to take a step closer now, they can only get 3 points from us. The score was 2-2 in the first half, which means they have great hopes, so in the second half

We will definitely work harder, won’t this wake everyone up?”

Seeing everyone stunned again, Li Zhao finally said: "What we should do now is to firmly grasp the initiative in our own hands, strive to lead the opponent again and continue to expand the lead. The only way is to beat the opponent into despair."

, then we can truly say it is safe. That’s all I have to say. If any of you think it’s insignificant, I have nothing to say.”

After saying these words, Li Zhao left the room. Everyone in the lounge couldn't help but look at each other. Even the head coach Su Maozhen looked a little pale. Then he knew that he had to express his position and said: "Everyone also agrees with what Li Zhao just said."

I heard it, good. I admit that I was a little negligent before. In the second half, everyone cheered up and scored two goals, not just one. If I see someone listless again, I will let him advance.

Rest. Did everyone hear that?"

"I heard it!" There was a chorus of cheers in the players' lounge, and everyone's energy was completely different from before.

"You looked really handsome when you were talking just now!" Zhang Yuning praised Li Zhao in the player tunnel.

"Is there any?" Li Zhao really didn't care much about this.

"Of course, I think you were more dazzling then than after you scored the goal. By the way, let's cooperate well in the second half and let the opponent despair!" Zhang Yuning said.
Chapter completed!
