Due to the Gulf War, Iraq has changed from a rich and powerful country to a poor and chaotic country. The self-esteem of Iraqis has been greatly hit. Success in football has a special significance to Iraqis. They also need to win respect and dignity in the field of football. Therefore, when competing with a team like the Chinese team, Iraq has a stronger desire to win than Chinese players.

After the game started, the Iraqi team did not shrink their hands because the Chinese team had Chen Yu, the world footballer. They had a strong desire to attack. After the kickoff, the ball was held at the feet of the Chinese team. They quickly pressed, and quickly forced the Chinese team players to kick the ball into their own hands, and immediately passed the ball to launch a fast attack.

After the Chinese team players drove the ball out, they also knew that the opponent would launch an attack. The players who had assisted immediately returned to their positions, and other players also reclaimed them to prevent Iraq's fast attack.

The Chinese team's return was very timely. When Iraq's long pass hit the frontcourt, Gao Fei followed Younis in time, preventing Younis from touching the pass. The ball was pushed out by the defender. If Younis grab the landing point, with Younis' ability, the Chinese team's defense line will definitely be hit to a certain extent.

During the competition between the rounds and turns of the game, Iraq gained some advantage, and the Chinese team made a timely transition on offense and defense, and did not give Iraq any chance, which also made the Chinese fans in the stands and the coaches on the sidelines very pleased. They were all worried that the Chinese team, which had just formed, was in chaos under the impact of Iraqi players like wolves and tigers.

After the Chinese defender pushed the ball to the midfield, the two sides fought in the air for several seconds, and the ball eventually fell at the feet of the Iraqi player.

Although Iraqi players really want to win this game, their mood is not reflected in their actions. After grabbing the ball, they saw that the Chinese team's defense position had been stopped. The rapid attack effect should not be great. Although Yunis is very strong, he does not have the ability to fight the opponent's entire defense line alone. So after getting the ball, they pass the ball back and prepare to pull out the Chinese team's players and then play.

Iraq's approach should be open-minded, and Chinese players also know what their purpose is, but they have to push forward. It's like a war between the enemy and us. The opponent has given up his position. If you are afraid to come in, it will hurt morale. In addition, the Chinese team has no idea in this game, and winning is also their goal. Now Iraq passes the ball backwards. If they can steal the opponent's backcourt and counterattack in the backcourt, the offensive threat will be too great.

The Chinese team's three lines began to push forward, but the midfield and frontcourt were faster, while the defense was relatively slow. This was not purely because of lack of tacit cooperation. The main reason was that the players responsible for offense and the players who were defensive had different ideas. The players who were attacking wanted the benefits of counterattacking after stealing, while the players who were defensive were worried about the danger of being beaten behind by the opponent for a long pass.

Iraq was able to defeat the veteran strong team Saudi Arabia to win the Asian Cup championship. The team's strength, tactical literacy and players' awareness were all good. Seeing that the three lines of the Chinese team were a little disconnected, they immediately passed the ball between the Chinese team's forward and back line, and found their captain Yunis.

Yunis is the core of the Iraqi team. In the Iraqi team, his status and influence are similar to Chen Yu. The Chinese team also attaches great importance to him. Not only does the defender Zheng Hua come to defend him, but Gao Fei also assists in the defense at any time. However, the two lines of the Chinese team are now out of touch, and the distance between Gao Fei and Zheng Hua is a bit far, which gives Yunis the opportunity to get the ball.

Yunis rushed forward at high speed, and when Gao Fei realized that he had already lagged two or three meters behind after he chased him again, it was difficult to pose any threat to Yunis.

Yunis has a strong personal ability. He has been robbed by him and it is not easy to grab it. He may have to pay a free kick. If he performs poorly, he may even lose a yellow card. This is unacceptable to the Chinese team's defense line.

When Younis went to grab the landing point, Zheng Hua did not stop and wait, but took the initiative to grab it. Zheng Hua did not think that he could steal the ball before Younis, but hoped to interfere with Younis. As long as Younis couldn't hold on to the ball or couldn't grab the first landing point, and there were many people on his side, Younis would have no choice.

However, Zheng Hua still underestimated Younis' explosive power, and Younis' judgment of the landing point of the ball was more accurate than Zheng Hua. Before Zheng Hua could get in place, Younis had already jumped up to head the ball a little and pushed the ball behind Zheng Hua.

When Zheng Hua saw that Yunis arrived at the landing point first, he knew that he was making a rash goal. His opponent was at most a free kick opportunity, but now he may become his opponent's single shot. If this is the case, Zheng Hua's responsibility will be great.

At this point, even if Zheng Hua stopped as quickly as possible and turned around, he would definitely not be able to catch up with Younis. At this time, he could only continue to choose to take risks.

Zheng Hua did not stop and continued to move forward, crashing into Yunis who had just landed.

Zheng Hua is preparing to end Iraq's attack with a yellow card and a free kick.

Yunis did not want to give up this opportunity. Before the game, Iraq also conducted serious research on the Chinese team and knew that the team had a lot of psychological problems. If it could give the opponent a blow at the beginning, the Chinese team might collapse. If it confronted the Chinese team, with Chen Yu's terrifying personal ability, it would definitely be able to seize the flaws on the Iraqi defense line and score a goal, so Iraq would be in danger.

Yunis quickly moved sideways away from Zheng Hua and ran to his right.

Zheng Hua is also a player with rich experience and is playing in England, the founder of modern football. He was very considerate of the possible problems of defense this time. Seeing Younis trying to break through his side, Zheng Hua reached out and grabbed Younis' jersey without hesitation.

Yunis was very strong and flexible. He twisted his body flexibly while running, making Zheng Hua's move not to grasp it. His strong body also allowed him to maintain his balance under Zheng Hua's interference. He saw Feng Cheng, another central defender of the Chinese team, desperately assisting here to defend. Yunis pushed the ground with both feet and accelerated to rush forward, trying to rush into the penalty area before Feng Cheng arrived.

Less than three minutes after the game started, Yunis's body had not been fully activated. He used too much force in the sprint and only felt a pain in his thigh muscles. Yunis knew it was broken. It must have been a thigh muscle strain. He staggered forward two steps and quickly lay on the grass with his thighs in his arms.

When Younis grabbed the header, all eyes on Younis on the court were on the court. When Younis changed direction and threw Zheng Hua away, the Iraqi fans in the stands burst out with warm cheers. But just when Younis got rid of Zheng Hua and was about to speed up the sprint, he staggered to the ground like an evil person. At this moment, the Iraqi fans and coaches were all stunned. Younis had a great effect on the Iraqi team. Although it could not be compared with Chen Yu's impact on the Chinese team, it was also a decisive needle. If he had problems, Iraq's hope of winning would be reduced by at least 20%.

Iraqi head coach Olsen had just walked to the sidelines and could see every move of Younis clearly. When Younis broke through Zheng Hua, he was about to applaud, but found that Younis suddenly fell down without a confrontation. Olsen couldn't help but exclaim, and his face turned pale. According to experience, he knew that Younis must have been strained.

Just when Olson was still thinking about what to do, the ball was grabbed by Feng Cheng who rushed over, and Yunis on the field raised his hand and asked for a substitution.

Feng Cheng had a strong desire to attack. After getting the ball, he saw that the referee had not yet ended the game, so he immediately passed the ball with his feet and tried to take the opportunity to launch a counterattack.

However, the referee just didn't understand what happened to Younis. At first he thought Younis had fallen. Now seeing Younis ask for a substitution, he immediately stopped the game and let the stretcher and the team doctor play.

Seeing this scene, the joy of Iraqi fans was immediately replaced by frustration. Now, any fans with some experience know that Yunis is probably a strain, and as long as he is a strain, he will definitely not be able to play. If he is lucky, he will be fine after a week. If he is not lucky, he may not be able to play for a month.

For the Chinese team, this is like a pie falling from the sky. Within three minutes of the game, the opponent's core was injured. Is there anything more lucky than this? This is even more wonderful than the opponent's own goal at the beginning.

Thinking of this, many patriotic fans applauded, followed by some fans who didn't know the truth and applauded with the crowd. Although the applause was sparse, it also aroused the dissatisfaction of Iraqi fans. Many Iraqi fans, who were also patriotic, stood up and roared at the Chinese fans who were applauding, made beheading gestures, and some threw miscellaneous items at the Chinese fans.

Since Iraq is still in war, the match between the Chinese team and Iraq was held in Dubai, neutral UAE. However, since the domestic situation in Iraq is really too bad and the fans are very sensitive, Dubai still made sufficient security preparations to see that the fans of the two sides are at risk of conflict. The police and security guards in the stands quickly stood up, pointed guns at the fans who shouted and threw miscellaneous items, and let them sit down.
