Gao Xiaodong ran while "observing" the distance from the pursuers behind him to see if the distance was appropriate. Gao Xiaodong suddenly turned the ball inward and cut across the middle of the court.
The chasing Iraqi player ran too fast, where he could stop the car. One player stopped and fell down, and the other three rushed forward two or three meters before stopping.
With the help of this crosscut, Gao Xiaodong still keeps the distance from the defender, but the angle of shooting is bigger.
Already in Gao Xiaodong's range, Iraqi goalkeeper kashid feels a chill. He stares at Gao Xiaodong's feet and is ready to fight.
Gao Xiaodong adjusted his step. Kashid felt that Gao Xiaodong was about to shoot and almost jumped out, but Gao Xiaodong didn't shoot. He took another step and then started to shoot at the top left corner of the goal.
Gao Xiaodong's shooting range is very small, that is, his legs are rushing to work. However, Gao Xiaodong's strength is great, and the ball is comparable to that of ordinary players.
Kashid was hit a time difference, he thought Gao Xiaodong should shoot when Gao Xiaodong did not shoot, wait for him to relax, Gao Xiaodong shot.
Kashid rushed to save, but he was still slow. The ball flew past his hand and ran straight into the dead corner of the goal.
2: 0
GAO Xiaodong once again used a long-range shot to expand the score for the Chinese team.
Twice by the opponent with long-range goal, kashid chagrined repeatedly with his hand.
Gao Xiaodong was also excited. He raised his hands high and roared up to the sky.
It's almost a goal to win! The fans of the Chinese team were very excited. They cheered with the rhythm of Gao Xiaodong.
Camacho was more excited than everyone else. He clenched his fists and rushed to the edge of the court, shouting "high...".
It's not surprising that Camacho is so excited. He has a sky high contract to coach the Chinese team, and a superstar like Gao Xiaodong is coming back. If he can't even qualify for the top 20 group stage, it's too humiliating.
Camacho has been carrying a lot of pressure, and now, Gao Xiaodong this ball is almost locked to win, Camacho's pressure is completely released.
There's no pressure on Camacho, but there's pressure on Zico.
Zico is more famous, and the strength of Iraq that he took over is also the strongest in group A. in the view of Zico and Iraqis, there is no doubt that the top 20 group will be qualified in the first place. What China and Jordan are fighting for is only the second place in the group.
However, Jordan's excellent performance made the situation of group a qualification disorder. If Iraq lost this game, Iraq might have to compete with Jordan for a place in the final qualification. This is very passive and Zico can't accept it. He still wants to take the initiative in this game.
Although the first half of the game will soon be over, Zico still called a few players from the side of the court to let them strengthen their attack and try to get one back.
Camacho was so excited that he only wanted to give high fives and hugs to the substitute assistant and forgot to set up the defense in the last few minutes. However, Gao Xiaodong had rich experience in the big game. When he was attacking in Iraq, he pulled back his defense. When the Chinese team got the ball right, Gao Xiaodong controlled the ball and grasped the rhythm. He never let Iraq's offensive get up. In the last three minutes, Iraq couldn't use it forcefully, We can only accept that we are two goals behind.
At half-time, Camacho hugged every starter in front of the dressing room, praised their performance in the first half and praised Gao Xiaodong's performance.
Layout of the second half tactics, Camacho stressed the defensive counterattack, Gao Xiaodong's position has also been transferred to the back.
The players have no opinion about this arrangement. There is no doubt that they are two goals ahead and defend and counterattack, but Fu Bo, the local coach of China, does not agree to put Gao Xiaodong in the back.
Fu Bo is very familiar with the ability of Chinese players. He told Camacho that the attack of Chinese team is completely supported by Gao Xiaodong. If Gao Xiaodong is in the back, the Chinese team may have to defend instead of counterattack.
Camacho has always thought that the Chinese Football Association put Fu Bo in the coaching staff just to restrain him. He wanted to get rid of Fu Bo for a long time, but he didn't succeed. How could he listen to Fu Bo's advice.
After listening to Fu Bo's suggestion, Camacho didn't say a word, as if he didn't hear it, which made Fu Bo very embarrassed.
The interval soon passed, the game started again and Iraq kicked off.
At half-time, Iraq changed a man, Karim was replaced and Samir, a more aggressive midfield, came up.
Two goals behind, Iraq no longer retreat, they from the first minute on the pressure, full attack.
Although Iraq's attack is fierce, China's defense is better.
Gao Xiaodong retreated, his defensive coverage and accurate positioning almost resolved most of the offensive in the middle. The pressure on the Chinese team's centre back was very small, and it was very easy for them to defend Younis alone.
However, as Fu Bo said, the defense of the Chinese team is good, but the counterattack is not.
Gao Xiaodong was able to organize the attack in the back court and pass the ball to the forward and the avant-garde. But without Gao Xiaodong to attract the defensive forces, the Chinese team could not hold the ball in the front court and could not cooperate with them when they got the ball. They often made mistakes when they could not pass the two footed ball.In the 50th minute of the game, Gao Xiaodong passed a long pass behind the guard. Yang Xu succeeded in anti offside, but he stopped the ball and was destroyed by goalkeeper kahid.
In the 57th minute of the game, Gao Xiaodong broke the ball to Sun Xiang, who was on the side. Sun Xiang passed the ball from the bottom at high speed. Although Yang Xu in the middle was watched, he could also hit the goal. However, he missed the ball and wanted to miss it to Qu Bo, who was inserted in the back. Qu Bo thought Yang Xu wanted to shoot, but he didn't keep up with him. The ball went straight out of the sideline.
These two chances for Gao Xiaodong is two goals, but the teammates did not even get the goal, so Gao Xiaodong was so angry that he stamped his feet.
Camacho on the sidelines was furious and kept shouting.
He Hui, the commentator, sighed: "this attack is too hot! I can't see it! Our national team seems to need at least two winters, one for attack and one for defence
After these two attacks, Gao Xiaodong also understands how wise Fu Bo's suggestion is. He should not have too high expectations for these pig teammates. He has to deal with the strong team by himself.
After Gao Xiaodong took the ball, he reduced the number of forward passing, more is to break forward with the ball, attract the defense, open space for the front court teammates to pass.
At half-time, Zico was obviously ready to defend Gao Xiaodong, but Gao Xiaodong's arrangement didn't work.
Gao Xiaodong's own attack with the ball, the attack distance is too long, too far from the goal, Iraq immediately used foul tactics to deal with Gao Xiaodong, would rather give China a free kick than let Gao Xiaodong into the 30 meter defensive area.
Iraq is behind by two goals, and the Australian referee obviously has the mind of leaning towards the home team. He pretends that he can't see a lot of Iraq's pull on Gao Xiaodong, and the yellow card is just a free kick.
Iraq's foul tactics have been effective. The Chinese team can't fight back. They are bombarded by Iraq in the half court. There are many dangers in front of the goal. They may lose the ball at any time.
