El Sheikh Khalifa International Stadium, UAE.
When the first players of the Chinese team and the Kyrgyz team walked into the stadium with their heads held high, the small stadium burst into deafening cheers!
"Chinese team! come on. Chinese team! Come on! "
Although not full, it has basically become half the home of the Chinese team.
More than 70% of the audience in the stands are Chinese fans!
Not many Kyrgyz fans came to the road to cheer.
The camera locked on situ Yunbing's face for a long time, as if he wanted to show the legendary Young Marshal's style in the Asian Cup to the world!
"CCTV, CCTV, dear viewers, good evening. The 2019 UAE Asian Cup has opened. Today, we live broadcast the first group game of the Chinese team at ain Sheikh Khalifa International Stadium. Our opponent here today is Kyrgyzstan!
The Chinese team of the last Asian Cup was eliminated after the group qualified. The Chinese team of this Asian Cup was led by our legendary situ Yunbing. Before the game, situ Yunbing made it clear that we should strive to win the game in the first two rounds of the group game and advance to the Amoy race!
So today's game is not a loss, but we must win!
Compared with the world cup half a year ago, the main lineup of the Chinese team has changed greatly. Let's introduce today's starting lineup of the Chinese team.
Goalkeeper: Shen Jingjie.
Guards: Zhang Linpeng, Bai yuanfan, Cheng Renjun, Li Xuepeng.
Midfield: Zhang Zhibang, Zhao Fenghua, Huang Bozhou.
Forwards: Luo Xin, Wu Lei, Luo Cheng.
The average age of the starting lineup of the Chinese team is only 22 years old. It is a younger team to participate in the Asian Cup this time, but our strength is not lower than before!
Kyrgyzstan's starting lineup today is 352
Goalkeeper: matiash.
Defenders: kozubayev, KISHIN, Tago.
Midfield: islaylov, musabekov, URU, sakinbayev, bennhart.
Forwards: lux, murzaev.
Today's starting lineup in Kyrgyzstan is the strongest lineup they can come up with. Compared with the Chinese team, the starting lineup is basically composed of overseas legions, while Kyrgyzstan is dominated by naturalized players and local players.
The ceremony before the kick-off of the two teams has been completed. Now the game will begin immediately. The Chinese team will take the lead in kick-off. "
Kyrgyz coach krystinin is not only the coach of the national team, but also the coach of bishkekdoyi, the largest team in Kyrgyzstan. 11 people in the 23 people's Congress list of Kyrgyzstan for the Asian Cup come from the club!
It can be said that Kyrgyzstan has an extraordinary team understanding.
But considering their football level, although tacit understanding is very important, it is not enough to smooth out the gap between hard power.
With the cheering momentum of the fans, the Chinese team took the lead in kicking off. After kickoff, the team did not launch a fast break, but fell back and forth in the middle and back court.
After all, the competition is cautious first, so that the team as a whole can enter the competition state, and it is not too late to make efforts after finding the rhythm.
Kyrgyzstan did not start a siege in the front court. They focused on the interception area in their own half behind the central circle.
In the 4th minute of the game, after the Chinese team's first attack hit the front right, Luoxin tried to directly break through the place and retreat to the defensive wing Ben Hart. Although the ball and people passed, the trip was big, and the football was cleared to the front by Tago.
Two minutes later, when Luo Cheng looked for Zhao Fenghua in the middle after controlling the ball and cutting inside in the front court, the football passed too much!
The football was lost directly!
Situ Yunbing frowned slightly on the sideline. It was obvious that Luo Cheng and Luo Xin were too excited or nervous to compete in the competition for the first time. In short, there were some small psychological problems.
He gestured on the sidelines to keep the team steady.
Kyrgyzstan's 352 system is not a threat in situ Yunbing. In fact, the strength of the other party is still a certain gap compared with the Chinese team.
When the Kyrgyz forward crossed the ball on the front sideline and turned inward against Zhang Linpeng's defensive spike, he was intercepted by Zhang Zhibang as soon as he changed direction!
Zhang Zhibang walked the ball straight in front of him!
This defense made situ Yunbing couldn't help clapping on the sidelines!
What are the cards on Zhang Zhibang in the past four months, such as Makelele, Gattuso and Essien.
Working hard in Europe, he maintained a fierce attitude and was praised by the media as "the wolf of Asia!"
When the Chinese team continues to attack Kyrgyzstan, the other team's formation will become 532, and the two wingers withdraw to become full backs.
After Zhao Fenghua restrained the defense in the middle of the front court, Luo Cheng tried to pass the ball directly into the restricted area to find Wu Lei. As a result, he was intercepted successfully by his opponent because the space was too narrow.
Offensive and defensive confrontation still seems relatively tangled.
Krystinin still has some confidence in the team's defense. At least these players train and play together every day, and the joint defense tacit understanding is very good.
When the Chinese team failed in three consecutive attempts to create threats in the restricted area, the game had passed 15 minutes. Situ Yunbing thought about the consequences for a moment and made a gesture. He gave Huang Bozhou instructions and asked him to participate in the front fast break, fast in and out!
The other side's restrictions on Zhao Fenghua are in place. It can even be said that the first defensive focus of Kyrgyzstan today is Zhao Fenghua!
In the 22nd minute of the game, the front fast attack sideline of Kyrgyzstan passed from 45 degrees. Bai yuanfan pressed murzayev's header to clear the encirclement and won a burst of warm cheers from Chinese fans!
Li Xuepeng sent the ball obliquely to find Huang Bozhou. When the latter led the ball forward, he found that the three midfielders in Kyrgyzstan sandwiched Zhao Fenghua in the middle during the retreat, forming an obvious blockade.
But no one came to intercept Huang Bozhou!
Kyrgyzstan may think that the Chinese team will not invest more than four players in the attack!
So Huang Bozhou went to the front court quickly. When the midfield players in Kyrgyzstan realized it was too late to rush towards him!
Huang Bozhou went all the way to the front of the restricted area.
The third central guard subconsciously shrinks to the middle zone in front of the goal, and the rib of the restricted area appears empty!
Huang Bozhou tilted his foot to the ground before islaylov rushed to his side.
The football rolled to the left side of the restricted area. Kozubayev immediately moved to intercept the ball, but Luo Cheng, who rushed into the restricted area, took the first step to move the ball to the bottom line. At the same time, people passed by kozubayev!
Luo Cheng, who was very fast and played the advantage of attack depth directly, swept the ball directly in front of the goal in front of the bottom line!
Under the attention of the crowd, goalkeeper Matthias and defender KISHIN rushed to the football, but in the space between them, they beat a figure first. Before Matthias made the save and blocking action, the instep of his right foot shot the ball pad at the near corner of the goal!
Goalkeeper matiashgen couldn't have made a save!
The football flew into the goal!
Sheikh Khalifa International Stadium erupted into the cheers of Chinese fans shaking the world!
Wu Lei jogged easily to the sideline to celebrate the goal!
All the generals of the Chinese team rushed towards him with laughter.
"The ball is in! The ball is in! The ball is in! The Chinese team broke the deadlock!
Wu Lei!
Wu Lei scored the first goal of this Asian Cup for the Chinese team!
This is an assist from Luo Cheng!
When Huang Bozhou passed the ball into the restricted area, Luo Cheng broke out and started really fast!
He made Kyrgyz defender kozubayev unable to touch his shirt!
After passing the other side, Luo Cheng sent a cross. Luo Cheng was really decisive in handling the ball!
Wu Lei also showed his speed advantage in front of the goal. When he didn't occupy a favorable position, he just shot out of the gap and put the ball into the goal!
This goal of the Chinese team can reassure the whole team! "
Situ Yunbing just smiled on the sidelines and was not too excited because of the goal.
He was not surprised by Luo Cheng's performance. Luo Cheng and Luo Xin jointly scored 27 goals for lance in the French first half League which ended not long ago!
There are many scenes of assists between the two, so they have a very positive sense of making the ball.
It is not difficult for them to create opportunities in the Kyrgyzstan restricted area.
The difficult thing is who can pass the ball to them in the penalty area!
The Chinese fans cheered at the scene, but situ Yunbing made another gesture to Huang Bozhou after the celebration of the Chinese team generals, asking him to withdraw to the middle and back court to concentrate on defense and support and reduce his offensive aggression.
Even if Huang Bozhou didn't understand why he didn't pursue while winning, no one dared to violate situ Yunbing's order. He clearly gave situ Yunbing an action response that he had received instructions.
Krystinin looked a little depressed. He wanted to curb Zhao Fenghua, the attack engine of the Chinese team. It seemed that Kyrgyzstan had done well 20 minutes before the game.
But unexpectedly, the Chinese team has emerged a new attack organizer!
Kyrgyzstan, which is behind in the score, can only harden its scalp and slightly strengthen its offensive enthusiasm.
They must strive for at least one draw in this game in order to maintain the hope of group promotion!
Before the game, krystinin once commented on situ Yunbing and the Chinese team. He thought situ Yunbing was a great coach, but his Chinese team was not!
He also said with almost sarcastic tone: I don't know what the Chinese team has won in the past few years!
When he talked about the goal of the Asian Cup in Kyrgyzstan, he said: the goal is to reach the top eight of the Asian Cup!
Maybe krastinin didn't know what situ Yunbing said before the game.
Situ Yunbing believes that no team will come for the goal of qualifying in the group. Now that it has come, it must compete for the championship.
As a result, krystinin's remarks before the game felt very demoralized.
Situ Yunbing had no intention of getting revenge. He could only say that it was a mistake. Krestinin himself hit the muzzle of the gun!
