In the box of the stands, Nan Yong was all smiles. There was no need to be unreasonably worried. The development of the situation was completely in line with expectations.
Kuwait did try to attack, but the Chinese team defended with all their strength and there was nothing they could do.
The Chinese team had a shot that hit the goal frame, but Kuwait didn't have a shot on target, and even only had two shots in the opening stage. The situation has been calm since then.
Li Tiancheng couldn't sit still. He didn't care about face. It would be fine if he was really wrong. But this situation is really weird. Is there really someone in this world who doesn't fight hard at a critical moment of life and death? It's really incomprehensible!
After much suffering, the first half finally reached stoppage time.
Li Tiancheng breathed a sigh of relief, as long as there was no surprise.
At this time, Kuwait suddenly got a corner kick opportunity.
Boom!
Li Weifeng pushed the ball over the baseline.
Fortunately, it just gave Kuwait another corner kick.
The corner kick is taken again.
Boom!
This time it was Zhang Yaokun's turn. The young player pushed the ball over the baseline again. Finally, there was no mistake. It was still a Kuwaiti corner kick.
Even if Zheng Zhi is suspended, the central defenders in this level of competition will not be as good as young players. I really don’t know how long their brain circuits are.
Kuwait takes three consecutive corner kicks!
"Girl, can't you be more neat and tidy?"
Boom!
Shao Jiayi jumped high and pushed the ball out of the penalty area.
It was finally settled and no more opportunities were given to Kuwait.
After three corner kick opportunities, Kuwait failed to attack the goal, and the half-time period ended 0:0.
China is pursuing a draw, at least in Ali Han's view.
In the locker room, Ali Han kept emphasizing that defense, defense, and defense must not be taken lightly, especially at the end of the first half, when the opponent should not be given that kind of opportunity. Three consecutive corner kicks were simply a joke.
Who would only think about defense and not be able to think of ways to attack?"
Is this guy Dutch?!
How could such a guy come out of the "Total Attack, Total Defense" Dutch football?
It is said that he is also a famous Dutch star!
Is there anyone in a football match who can defend for ninety minutes without conceding a goal?
Even if you are a 1:0 activist, you must have counterattacks to deter your opponents!
Can Chelsea last for ninety minutes purely relying on defense? Of course they can when they meet the Chinese team. If they give up their counterattack against Liverpool, Li Tiancheng feels like he can wake up laughing even in his sleep!
Is the Chinese team superior in physical fitness or superior in tactics? Why are they so arrogant and interrupting their 90-minute defense?
Of course, with the intensity of Kuwait's attack, it doesn't seem like a foolish dream to insist on defending the entire game.
Li Tiancheng's thoughts were racing wildly, and he tried hard to control his desire to complain.
Seeing Ali Han talking incessantly and the Chinese coaching staff looking serious, Li Tiancheng raised the corner of his mouth, these idiots!
They are all thinking that just getting one point will be enough, and that one point can crush Kuwait, and then they can easily defeat the Hong Kong team of China in the last round, and rush into the Asian quarterfinals of the World Cup preliminaries with a grasp on their hands!
This is a wishful thinking!
Every time we can qualify with a draw, every time it's a tragedy. We just made it to the World Cup once, and all the previous tragedies have been forgotten?
Is this stupid or bad?
Seeing Li Tiancheng's expression getting colder and colder, Sun Chenghai hurriedly tugged on his sleeve, but be sure not to be impulsive. Everything was still on track at the moment. Getting angry out of thin air would only disturb the morale of the army. It would be of no use except giving others a handle.
Li Tiancheng looked at Sun Chenghai, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, but in the end he did nothing.
At the beginning of the second half of the game, Kuwait took the lead in making substitution adjustments. Li Tiancheng didn't care. It was the same to him, they were all defeated.
Several red flags were hanging down in the stands. Li Tiancheng was attracted by them. They shouldn't be like this. They should be high-spirited at any time!
While he was looking carefully, he saw the Chinese fans in the stands suddenly shouting in shock.
Li Tiancheng quickly turned around, his eyes almost splitting.
Kuwait's 33-year-old veteran Jacob took the lead and was dribbling the ball down the field.
Sun Xiang didn't know what he was doing before, but he actually lost his position, and now he was struggling to catch up.
Seeing that his opponent was about to pass the ball, but he was still a few meters away from reaching him, Sun Xiang simply showed off his long-distance sliding tackle!
This is my specialty...
Before he finished thinking, Sun Xiang realized that he had miscalculated and actually stopped before shoveling the football!
Jacob was overjoyed. He was worried that this kid would affect the passing route, but now he was fine! He calmly crossed the obstacle, cut along the baseline to the penalty area, and crossed in front of Li Weifeng!
Zhang Yaokun made a mistake in his judgment and missed the ball. Bashar fell to the ground near the small penalty area line and headed the ball back. Zhuma volleyed in the penalty area!
1:0.
Your sister!
Li Tiancheng shut his mouth.
If I read it correctly, this guy scored a goal just after being substituted.
The Chinese fans in the stands were completely speechless, and Nan Yong in the box was completely ashamed. These losers, they promised to defend with all their strength and not lose the ball?
At this time, the players of the Huaxia team looked at each other on the field, and things were not much better off the field. The coaches, players and staff all looked panicked.
Li Tiancheng looked around and found it a bit funny. China and Japan were carrying out professional reform at about the same time. Japan had developed in the past ten years and now has "excellent techniques and tactics and rich competition experience", but China was still like this.
When there is a draw, they are leisurely and leisurely, neither busy attacking nor rushing to defend. As long as they lose a goal and become the trailing side, they will immediately become anxious, fearful and confused.
Want to win but fear losing.
They can't compete at all!
"Haha..." Li Tiancheng took off his coat directly: "Brother Hai, it's our turn!"
After that, he didn’t look at anyone and started warming up directly.
Sun Chenghai stood up silently, threw down his coat, and started to warm up.
Everyone on the bench looked at each other and had nothing to say.
"Li Tiancheng is warming up." Huang Jianxiang screamed.
"And Sun Chenghai!"
"We really need to make some changes. We can't wait or delay. Let Sun Chenghai play as a winger and let Tiancheng rush forward. The two of them can change the situation. Wasn't that what happened in the last game against Malaysia?"
"Fortunately, we lost the ball early and we still had time to get back the score. If there was a three-minute blackout like before, we wouldn't even be able to cry!" Liu Jianhong said with lingering fear.
Li Tiancheng appeared on the broadcast screen, and the Chinese fans immediately cheered.
Hahaha……
He came out after being called out for thousands of times,
We still have a young master.
Now we are not afraid that the Chinese team will fall behind, Young Master Cheng is about to appear!
We can definitely do it, it just depends on the master!
A few minutes later, Li Tiancheng stood in front of Ali Han without saying a word.
Ali Han did not hesitate, Li Tiancheng replaced Li Jinyu, and Sun Chenghai replaced Sun Xiang.
No one from the Chinese coaching staff talked nonsense this time. Wu Jingui just had a dark face. Although he strongly supported Sun Xiang, there was really nothing to say about this mistake.
Ali Han had no choice this time. The Chinese team needed to score goals and at least a draw.
If we lose this game, the Chinese team will definitely die!
Do you want to compare the goal difference with the West Asian team in the last game?
If this happens, the West Asian teams will tell you what a cool move is. If it were South Korea, we would still worry about three points. You China really can't beat us!
Heaven and hell are only separated by a thin line.
