Chapter 1196

On the afternoon of March 28, Azadi stadium in Tehran, Iran.

This is the most crucial game in group A of the last 12 matches so far. China, the first team in the group, challenges Iran, the second team in the group away, and the difference between the two teams has reached five points.

As the No.1 Iranian team in Asia, Iran has played a total of 25 games in Azadi stadium since 2010, with 19 wins, 3 draws and 3 losses. It has scored 69 goals and lost 9 goals. The record is extremely brilliant. If it is only a formal game, only Uzbekistan has taken three points in Brazil's World Cup qualifier.

It is precisely because of this that Iran is full of confidence in the Sino Iranian war at Azadi stadium. Before the game, it announced that tickets would be cancelled, attracting more than 100000 fans to the scene and creating a great momentum.

Not only that, after the Chinese team arrived in Iran ahead of schedule, the home team also created a lot of problems on the sidelines.

The first is to arrange the Chinese team to train in the field with poor hardware conditions, and then deliberately make it difficult to arrange the time of the press conference before the game, in order to affect the preparation of the Chinese team.

As the head coach of the team, Gao Han resisted the training ground, but refused to participate in the pre match press conference. He publicly criticized the preparatory work of the Iranian Football Association, believing that it was quite amateur and also a matter of great disrespect.

The shelling from the high cold immediately aroused the attention of the media all over the world, and the public outcry in Iran made the game receive unprecedented attention. In addition, the Football Association announced that tickets were free, so on the day of the game, the Azadi stadium was a sea of people.

Not only are the stands full of people, but even the walls are full of Iranian fans.

Looking at the grand scene, it is estimated that there are more than 100000 fans present.

…………

After the 3-0 home defeat of South Korea, the Chinese team won all the applause. At the same time, it also played its spirit in this game, especially the tactical execution of the team, which was affirmed by the cold.

For the away challenge to Iran, Gao said he hoped to continue his performance and mental outlook against South Korea.

But at the same time, alpine also repeatedly called on players not to have pressure, open hands and feet, enjoy the performance, fight to the end.

Especially in the dressing room before the match, Gao Han specially played a video of the first six matches of the top 12, which was specially edited by the technical team. The focus was on two points: one was the fighting and tenacity of the players on the field, and the other was the joy and Carnival after the team won.

"Before we go on the court, I hope everyone will think about it. How did we get to where we are today?"

Cold words, let the dressing room full silence for five minutes.

Every international player is immersed in memories and thinking. They are all thinking about what made the past seem like a rat in the street. Everyone called to beat the national football team and transformed them into today's national heroes. What made them adored by more than one billion people?

Are they superior?

Obviously not!

Although the video was edited, the scenes brought back their memories and let them know how they bled and sweated in the past Games and fought hard all the way.

They can go to today, by a never give up hard!

"Six wins in a row brought us closer to the world cup, but we haven't got that ticket yet."

"In the past decades of Chinese football history, there has always been a black experience of losing everything at the last moment. I sincerely hope that we will not repeat the mistakes of our predecessors."

"This game is very important. I hope that all of you can do your best and don't give up any hope. Even if we fight to the last minute, we will try our best to take three points away from the road and make sure that we get the qualification for next year's World Cup ahead of time."

"I don't know, in your heart, the weight of the world cup is heavy or light, there is no basis for your words, you can only show it to me on the court, show it to everyone!"

…………

…………

Although it's an away game, alpine still insists on the team's 433 formation.

The goalkeeper is Zeng Cheng, the defensive line is Jiang Zhipeng, Feng Xiaoting, Mei fang and Zhang Linfan, the three midfielders are Wu Xi, Zheng Zhiwen and Huang Baiwen respectively, and the front court is a combination of Wu Lei, Zhang Yuning and Gao Lin.

It is not difficult to see from the starting tactics of the Chinese team that Gao Han did not give up the idea of attack, nor was he blindly conservative, but still wanted to suppress the Iranian team through attack. At the same time, he arranged three more excellent defensive players in the midfield to ensure the defensive quality and thickness of the midfield.

It's a game that doesn't need mobilization at all.

Every player goes all out on the court, running from the beginning.

Iran's home position has made a strong attack from the very beginning. The Persian Legion obviously wants to take advantage of the home position to directly attack the Chinese team, not only to play the first strength in Asia, but also to teach China a lesson, so as to avenge their revenge in Shenyang.

The attack of the home team is still determined to take the side road and rib, in the physical strength of the confrontation to occupy the advantage of the situation, Iran's small team cooperation is also playing well, from the beginning to suppress the Chinese team is very embarrassed.

The Chinese team is still taking the defensive, three lines to maintain a very compact.

Especially in the midfield, Wu Xi, Zheng Zhi and Huang Bowen take parallel positions to protect the wings and ribs. The three offensive players in the front also actively participate in the front court pressure, and even return to the midfield to participate in the defense.

In the first 20 minutes of the game, the Iranian team attacked the defense line of the Chinese team again and again, focusing on all the artillery fire, aiming at Jiang Zhipeng's left wing and launching a fierce attack, forcing China's left side to shrink its defense.

Not to mention the midfield Wu Xi, even the front court Wu Lei had to withdraw defense frequently.

Gao Han has long been psychologically prepared for this. Jiang Zhipeng is strong in attack and weak in defense. This is a problem that he has long realized. Therefore, he has also arranged the strategy of defending the opponent's attack and adjusted it frequently in the game.

The Chinese team's defense seems to be in a precarious state, but it always holds on to the last breath.

The Iranian team is eager for revenge, but it can't attack for a long time. In addition to the witness of the 100000 fans at home, they all began to become more violent. After 20 minutes, they soon played a more fierce attack, especially the right attack led by gavrey, Masood Shaojie and jahanbahsh, which absolutely suppressed the left attack of the Chinese team.

In the restricted area, there are many dangers in front of the goal, and the goal is even more precarious. However, the Chinese team has withstood the continuous offensive of the Iranian team, and the players are still carrying out the high cold tactical arrangement in an orderly way. Every player has spared no effort to block the 30 meter area, so that the Iranian attack has failed again and again.

Gradually, the Iranian players began to get impatient.

They began to feel that no matter how much they increased their offensive, how to speed up the rhythm, they could not change the defensive formation and rhythm of the Chinese team. The Chinese team was like an unbreakable wall. They always stood in front of the goal despite the wind and rain.

They're starting to panic.

After 30 minutes, China's two counterattacks produced two yellow cards for each other, which undoubtedly exposed the mood of the Iranian players and made everyone aware of the opportunity.

It's a pity that two free kicks in front of the court were not good enough to create a threat.

But the counterattack from China made Iran more impatient.

There are more than 100000 fans watching. If they can't win the Chinese team, one mouthful of saliva will be enough to drown them.

In this restlessness, Iran and China are struggling to support each other, waiting for each other to take the lead in making mistakes.

Soon, the Chinese team made its first serious mistake in the 36th minute. Zheng Zhi slipped and lost his balance when he broke out. He was caught by the other team and shot from close range in front of Azmon.

As a result, the goal was saved from close range by goalkeeper Zeng Cheng.

Iran is like a bloodthirsty shark, quickly surrounded by the Chinese team launched a wave of indiscriminate bombing.

But the Chinese team quickly adjusted, quickly organized a tight offensive, and in three minutes quickly played a counterattack.

After receiving a pass from Zhang Yuning on the left, Wu Lei led the ball to the left side of the penalty area and was fouled by the other side, winning a free kick for the Chinese team.

Different from the previous several times, this time the position is better.

Both sides attached great importance to it. Huang Baiwen personally took the penalty. Five Chinese players were in the restricted area, two were in ambush outside. The Iranian team also gathered ten players to retreat into the restricted area for defense.

However, when the Iranian team was man to man, they kept an eye on Feng Xiaoting, Gao Lin and Mei fang, but missed Zhang Yuning, who was in the front spot. The latter's header rubbed and the ball hung in a far corner. The Iranian goalkeeper was also helpless.

one to naught!

Not long after losing the ball, the first half was over.

After Yi Bian fought again in the second half, Gao Han made another substitution and continued to strengthen the defense, while Iran also strengthened the attack. The two sides played in full swing and were very fierce.

After one goal in hand, the Chinese team saw the hope of victory and held on for the last breath. It didn't give the Iranian team any chance to take advantage of it, and the Iranian team changed people one after another, especially in the last 20 minutes.

But this time, the Chinese team did not give Iran any chance from the beginning to the end, almost like an iron wall defense, so that Iran's offensive again and again failed.

…………

…………

Gao Han stood in front of the coach of the visiting team and watched the game silently.

Now it's time to make up, the score is still zero to one.

With more or less a lucky free kick in the first half, China took the lead away.

It's a fluke, mainly because it's not in the cold plan, but the free kick tactics have been practiced by the Chinese team all the time. It's also a sharp weapon for scoring. Several set pieces in this game have created a threat, and it's a pity to score only one goal.

But what makes him most happy is the performance of the players on the field and the overall performance of the team.

Iran's strength is roughly equal to that of Europe's second-class strong team, and it must be a big part ahead of China's team. However, facing such a team, especially in today's game, China's team did not show any fatal flaws except Zheng Zhi's mistake.

It is not difficult to find that the International's tactical execution, as well as the focus of the game, have made great progress with the past.

Today's Chinese team is a real team.

Only in this way can this team have the hope of scoring and scoring in the world cup.

The news just came from South Korea that South Korea drew Syria one-to-one at home, and the red card absence of Huang xican and Li Rong had some impact on South Korea. In addition, with the temporary change of coach, South Korea finally failed to get three points at home, which was quite unfavorable for their next 12 finals.

But for China, it is the best.

As long as we keep this goal, China will get the qualification right ahead of time, while South Korea may not even be able to keep the third place in the group.

If South Korea really can't get the World Cup tickets, the grudge between China and South Korea will be deeper and deeper.

However, the high cold is happy to see so.

On the match field, both sides have completed three substitutions and made all adjustments. No matter it's alpine or Queiros, there is no way to change the situation. Everything depends on the performance of the players on the field.

However, after 90 minutes of attack, they failed to break the goal of the Chinese team. The Iranian players were already exhausted physically and mentally.

On the other hand, Chinese players are all excited.

It's not just a ball for them, it's a ticket to the world cup.

Chinese football has been waiting for this for more than ten years, and they have been waiting for it all their lives.

When the referee blew the whistle at the end of the game, the tense mood and atmosphere disappeared in an instant.

After being replaced, the captain Zheng Zhi, who has been standing behind the cold, suddenly said: "boss, we win!"

Before he finished speaking, he had choked, so he squatted on the ground and began to cry.

He missed the 2002 World Cup in Korea and Japan, but unexpectedly, he ushered in the low ebb and dark years of Chinese football. He thought that he had no hope in his life, but unexpectedly, a miracle appeared.

It's not only Zheng Zhi who is crying, but also many players on the field are crying, and the people on the coach's bench and the bench are all embracing and weeping.

They finally got it!

After waiting for more than ten years and suffering for more than ten years, they finally wait!

Gao Han was also very excited. He walked quickly to Zheng Zhi, pulled him up and took him to the court to celebrate with all the players.

The live broadcast also specially used English to congratulate the Chinese team on their advance to the world cup, believing that this is the most tenacious Chinese team in history and deserves such a reward.

On the pitch, the cold is still constantly pacifying their players.

A close 1-0 win over Iran away, seven wins in a row in the group, everything looks good.

But he knew that was just the beginning.

"World Cup, here we are!"

"This time, we won't leave!"
