Zhuo Yang never expected that just Singapore would be so difficult to play. It was almost 60 minutes in the second half, and he had to tie the score with a penalty kick, which was not decent at all.
The first round of La Liga matches, and September is just entering two international match days. The 2014 Brazil World Cup Asian qualifiers for the Chinese team have begun again, and the four-year cycle has resumed.
Because of its excellent performance in last year's World Cup, including the runner-up of the Asian Cup, the Chinese team's ranking in FIFA has increased significantly, so this time it became one of the five seed teams, eliminating the boring qualifying match
, directly enter the top 20 battle.
The Chinese team was in Group A with their old rivals Iraq, Jordan and Singapore. The old rules were the top two in the group entered the last 10 matches, and there were 4.5 places in the end. However, this time the 0.5 is not as lucky as before.
, Asia will compete with the fifth place in South America for this ticket.
After playing away games for Zaragoza four days ago, Zhuo Yang didn't even return home and flew back to China from Madrid's Barajas International Airport. In the two consecutive qualifiers, they originally thought that Singapore was just making up the numbers, second
The game against Jordan is the highlight, after all, it took a lot of effort to win the Asian Cup by 1:0.
Unexpectedly, Singapore, which has never been seen directly, is so difficult to fight.
Solving intensive defense is a global problem. The Chinese team faced such a problem at Kunming Tuodong Stadium.
As a strong team in the World Cup, it is difficult to underestimate the enemy when hearing the name Singapore. Not only players but fans are like this, Zhuo Yang is not immune to the vulgarity. At the beginning, the whole team did not fight the rabbit and smash the Singaporean's turtle shell in one fell swoop.
Zhuo Yang was not very ideal in running around, and both sides were grinding over and over, and both attacking and defending were very boring.
After last year's World Cup, several promising young people in the national team were lost in the applause of flowers. They should have been the mainstay of the past four years, but they had to be killed by Zhuo Yang and Jieshuai to exil.
Among the veterans, Liu Zi and Dayu retired, Sun Zhihai stayed away from the national team, and Shao Jiayi also slipped quickly in the bench. Although he was only 31 years old, he had to start to retreat to the second line.
Although Shao Jiayi and 30-year-old Qu Bo are still ambitious and are willing to fight on the court as always, time is unforgiving, and Chinese players are especially old. Looking around, Zheng Zhi, who is still only 31 years old, is still reliable in all aspects.
Although the domestic players are of similar level, 33-year-old Li Weifeng and 29-year-old Du Wei are still the best central defenders combination. Their comprehensive strength is much higher than that of others. But the problem is that a colorful game is full of flowers.
After the runner-up of the World Cup and Asian Cup, their ambitions seemed to be gone.
They did not indulge themselves, nor did they nostalgia for fame and fortune, but they were obviously not as focused and courageous as before. Perhaps, as veterans of this age, they realized that no matter how hard they worked in this qualifier, they would eventually do their dowry for others.
Brazil is so far away three years later.
In the first half of the hour, the Chinese team made nearly 20 shots, all of which returned in vain. Most of them were shot without any limit. A small number of them were saved by the young goalkeeper Mabud, who had cheated in Singapore. The weak team went out to keep the goalkeeper, these players
The Asian qualifiers are always very excited to meet the Chinese team when they play in the World Cup final.
In the 32nd minute, the Chinese team, who could not catch up for a long time, became increasingly negligent. Li Weifeng dribbled the ball in the backcourt and was intercepted by the unknown Fahrudin, and the break was very clean.
41-year-old naturalized striker Alexander Duric may be considered the only star in Singapore. After receiving a pass from Fahrudin, he simply passed Li Weifeng who was rashly on the pounce and passed it to him.
Hau Li.
31-year-old Hau Li is also a naturalized player. He was born in Shenyang. After being laid off in the Liaoning team six years ago, he followed someone to Singapore. He then became the top scorer in the S League. The locals call him "Cunaldo".
.
When Ao Li took the ball, he had already faced goalkeeper Yang Zhi. After he used his calm fake moves to knock down Li Weifeng and Du Weiqi to the ground, he was not greedy for me and pushed him back to Du Liqi.
The 41-year-old striker scored an empty goal and Singapore led the Chinese team 1:0.
Zhuo Yang couldn't believe his eyes. What kind of thing was slapped in the face? I'm a 1500 million-dollar gentleman. Can you add all your money to more than my monthly salary?
He was so angry that he greeted his teammates and cheered up, but Singapore, which was leading with one goal, was like a chicken blood, making the turtle shell more and more solid. It had no technical content, and it was just a matter of not being afraid of pain and death.
Zhuo Yang shot diagonally in the 40th minute, and Singapore also attacked and scared the Chinese team in cold sweat. Shi Jiayi stole Leng Zi's long-range shot and also hit the lintel.
Chinese players who could not play in the Chinese Professional League in those years rushed to the Lion City in groups, and many people later successfully gained a foothold there. Shi Jiayi, 28, was one of them. Shi Jiayi was born in Shanghai, and he and Yau Li were in Singapore
The only Chinese-made product among the many naturalized players of the national team.
.
During the intermission, Jieshuai and Zhuo Yang both got angry in the locker room, so everyone really got up in the second half.
It doesn't matter if this ruthlessness is the first to kill Singapore's main goalkeeper Ma Bude. In order to save Zhuo Yang's header, he threw himself on the post and almost killed him.
Substitute goalkeeper Baruddin was much rougher. When he attacked in the 59th minute, he directly hit the veteran Qu Bo's face with both punches and was punished by the referee. So Zhuo Yang finally relied on the spot after a lot of hardships.
The ball equalized the score.
Next, Zhuo Yang stood on the court and ordered to continue to be fierce, and soon fucked Shi Jiayi again. Sun Xiang used a hard steel tackle to let him understand who was the boss of Shanghai.
Shi Jiayi was carried down, and the referee only gave Sun Xiang a yellow card, which made Singapore head coach Alamovic furious on the sidelines. So, three minutes later, Baruddin knocked Yu Dabao down in the penalty area and was sentenced to another penalty.
The ball, Alamovich, who jumped up and cursed, was sent off with a red card.
Zhuo Yang scored twice in penalty shootout, and the Chinese team overtook the score 2:1.
In the 79th minute, the Chinese team finally made a smooth pass and cut, Zhuo Yang passed Yu Dabao on the right side of the penalty area. Although his shot was saved by Baruddin, Yu Hai's supplementary shot
Let the score be frozen at 3:1.
Although a victory is worthy of the Chinese people, it is hard to say that it is satisfactory. Singapore entered Group A to be the bottom. It was really indecent to run from the beach to the plateau stadium.
Chapter completed!
