Chapter 1240

Gao Xiaodong's third goal defeated the morale of Iraqis and greatly boosted the morale of Chinese players.

With the remaining seven minutes and three minutes of stoppage time, the Chinese team played very well and didn't give Iraq a chance to defend.

After Iraq's last shot hit the stands, referee green whistled the end of the game.

Iraqis slumped on the grass, bereaved.

This game lost, mutual record is also in the downwind, even if Iraq and the Chinese team at the end of the same point, qualification will also be the Chinese team.

What disappoints Iraqis in particular is that unless they can beat Jordan by more than two goals in the next round, whether they can qualify in the last round depends on others' faces.

The result and score were the best. The players of the Chinese team were very happy. They applauded the fans around the field and appreciated their support.

The Chinese fans who came to watch the game applauded and chanted the name of "Gao Xiaodong" for a long time, but they didn't want to leave.

At present, China has 9 points, jordan 9 points and Iraq 6 points.

The next game will be Singapore, Jordan and Iraq.

In view of Singapore's weakness, China's three points can be recorded in advance.

If Jordan wins, China will qualify one round ahead of time.

If Iraq wins, in the final round, China will be able to qualify as long as it draws Jordan at home.

Camacho was very satisfied with the result. At the press conference after the match, Camacho strongly praised the performance of the Chinese team today. He thought that according to the state and technical and tactical level displayed today, the Chinese team is fully worthy of a place in the Brazil World Cup.

Very rare, Camacho also praised Gao Xiaodong alone, "any team needs Gao Xiaodong such a player, he can be competent for almost all positions on the field, with him on the scene, everyone is not flustered, everyone can give full play to their ability, Gao Xiaodong is indispensable, he is the soul of the team."

Camacho looked forward to the match with Singapore in three days, "Singapore is a relatively weak team in this group. Considering that we are away from home, there are many unpredictable factors. We can't underestimate the enemy carelessly, we must guarantee to win three points."

Iraq coach Zico was beaten by Gao Xiaodong, he said: "in fact, we played well today, but Gao Xiaodong is amazing. We didn't lose to China, we just lost to Gao Xiaodong. If we have a player like Gao Xiaodong, the score should be reversed."

Zico compared Gao Xiaodong to Maradona. "He is Maradona of China. He beat us with his own strength. We have to say that except No. 23, other players of China team are not worthy of Gao Xiaodong."

Although lost the game, but Zico is still very optimistic about the prospect of qualification, "the initiative is still in our hands, the next round we will beat Jordan, and finally win Singapore, we can get 12 points, 12 points enough to ensure that we enter the top 10."

Camacho and Gao Xiaodong won the trust of the Chinese Football Association after a big win. After the match, the chairman of the Football Association, Wei Ge, held a banquet at the Sheraton Hotel to celebrate the victory for the players. Yida group, which introduced Camacho's coaching team to the Football Association, also contracted a plane to send the players to Singapore for preparation.

The arrival of the Chinese team in Singapore was warmly welcomed by the local fans.

Of course, this welcome is mainly for Gao Xiaodong.

The Chinese team has a bad record in Asia. Even the fish belly like Singapore can't look up to the Chinese team.

However, Gao Xiaodong is now the most popular football star in the world. He is not only a Chinese player, but also the pride of Asian football. Naturally, Singaporeans are also proud of him.

Singapore had lost all four games before and was eliminated two rounds ahead of time. The only goal Singapore scored was against China.

There is no hope of qualification. Now the only wish of Singapore fans is to see the individual performance of superstar Gao Xiaodong.

The best stadium in Singapore is the Singapore National Stadium, which can hold 55000 people. However, as the venue is being renovated, the match between the national football team and Singapore is arranged in the main stadium of Singapore kindergarten teachers' team: jalanbesa stadium.

Although the jalanbesa stadium is an artificial grassland with only two sides open, and can only seat 5000 fans, it is second only to the National Stadium, and the site conditions are the second best in Singapore. Many times to participate in the Asian Championship of the Singapore Legion team's home is located here.

On May 5, 2009, Shenhua was tied by Singapore and lost the chance of qualification.

Henan Jianye, who took part in the Asian Championship for the first time in 2010, lost to the Singapore team.

The national team led by Gao Bo also played against Singapore here in August 2009. In the end, the two sides played 1-1 and won 5-4 on penalties. After the game, the national football team was also criticized by the public opinion and the fans. Singapore is a fish belly team, and the Chinese team has never been able to beat the Singaporean team here. Of course, it is not without reasons. The main reason is that the jalanbesa stadium is very small and the turf is artificial turf.

The artificial grass is harder than the real grass, and the grass is also shallower. It feels very different from the real grass in kicking. In addition, the small pitch is not suitable for the tall but rough Chinese players.After Gao Xiaodong joined, the current Chinese team is very powerful and is considered to be one of the strongest national teams in history. Before the game, the media and fans all think that the Chinese team led by Gao Xiaodong will definitely break the embarrassing record of defeating Singapore in 90 minutes at the ranbesa stadium. They can't rule out another big score sweep.

Although Singapore has played all four games, they still don't want to be a salted fish when they return home.

Singapore meritorious coach Vladimir Avramovic said at a pre match press conference: "the elimination of the group is our expected result. Miracles can not be created every day, but it does not mean that we are ready to give up in the remaining two games. We still have our own small goals, such as getting a point. I think it's possible. We have home fans to cheer us on. We have psychological advantages. In addition, we are more used to playing on artificial turf. If the Chinese team belittles the enemy, we may realize our dream. "

Camacho was confident, but after leading the team to make complaints about training at the Jimmy Camacho, he was shaken. He said before the game, "the pitch is too small. I wonder if such a stadium is really consistent with the World Cup qualifying requirements. Maybe it's more suitable for sevens. Besides, can't a rich country like Singapore really afford natural turf? Artificial turf is definitely not suitable for playing regular games. If Singapore can't find the right stadium, I think AFC should let this game be played in neutral countries Well, there's a reason for the underdevelopment of Asian football. God bless us, I hope we won't encounter such a stadium in the future
