Chapter 525 Tough Game

Since the two teams entered the court, Iranian fans have been putting pressure on the Chinese team through the momentum they created.

The Chinese team retreated to the half-court of its own team, and even retreated into the 30-meter zone, doing their best to defend. Even Yin Jun and Dong Junzhuo almost became the midfielders of the Chinese team. Li Jinyu was the only one cruising in the frontcourt, but they were still mainly harassing the opponent's central defenders and the defense line.

The midfield and backcourt were completely suppressed, and it was difficult for him to get a chance alone.

Since Alihan took over the Chinese team, he has first captured the defense, then the midfield, and finally transformed the offense. Because of Yin Jun's existence, the Chinese team's offensive problems have been solved, but Li Tie's serious injury has disrupted all the team's plans. In desperation, Alihan can only accumulate numbers in the back midfield.

Just like in this game, Alihan ranked Shao Jiayi, Zhao Junzhe and Xiao Zhanbo as three midfielders, Yin Jun continued to serve as the front midfielder, and the forward line was a combination of Dong Junzhuo and Li Jinyu.

Such a midfielder has clearly shown Alihan’s intention, that is, defense, and strictly guard against the dead!

When the game started, the Chinese team realized that the pressure they were facing was unprecedented. Including the front midfielder Yin Jun and forward Dong Fengzhuo, they were forced to the nearest of their own penalty area line and became de facto midfielders.

In fact, if Yin Jun had not clearly asked Li Jinyu to be in the front, he might have returned to his side to participate in the defense at halftime.

……………………

Yin Jun said very clearly to Li Jinyu that his role in returning to his own defense line is very limited. After all, he is not a defensive player. On the contrary, if he is in front of him, it will be a threat and restraint to the Iranian defense line.

After all, because of Yin Jun's existence, the Chinese team may grab the ball in the midfield at any time and then launch a quick counterattack. If there is no one in front of you when the opportunity comes, wouldn't it be wasting the opportunity created by Yin Jun?

Secondly, if even he retreats, no one can withstand Iran's defense line. Then the Iranian team will inevitably go straight in and push forward further, which will be a fatal threat to the Chinese team.

In particular, it should be considered that once Iran gains a foothold in the frontier of the 30-meter area of ​​the Chinese team and controls the situation, the Chinese team will be like meat on the chopping board and may be cut at any time.

Therefore, Yin Jun asked Li Jinyu that no matter how strong the Iranian team's offensive momentum was, he had to cruise in the center line and never take a step back.

Iran has no choice but to let Li Jinyu ignore it, because they also know very well that the Chinese team with Yin Jun may send football to dangerous areas of their own half at any time, and Li Jinyu may create a fatal murderous intent at any time.

……………………

After the game started, although the Chinese team played very hard, they unified their thinking before the game and their defense was very steady.

Iranian midfielder Karimi seemed very active at the start. As early as before the game, Karimi said in an interview with Chinese media that he would avenge a revenge for the Asian Cup at home.

According to domestic Iranian media reports, Karimi once revealed that he wanted to defeat Yin Jun and prove the value of his title as an Asian footballer.

Last year, the AFC passed a new resolution, that is, the selection of Asian Footballers is only aimed at players who play in the Asian League, which makes it impossible for Chinese Yin Jun, Zheng Zhi, Sun Jihai, Shao Jiayi, South Korea's Lee Rongpyo and Park Ji-sung, Japan's Shinji Ono, Nakada Eiju and others to be qualified to run.

In particular, Yin Jun, as a double winner of the World Footballer and the European Golden Ball Awards, failed to participate in the Asian Footballer selection and was hailed as a loss of authority in this Asia's No. 1 award. It will also be considered as a misnomer to win this title.

It is precisely because of this that Carrimi is also holding on to prove herself in this game.

From the beginning of the game, he rushed left and right and frequently rushed to the Chinese team's penalty area, posing a considerable threat.

Fortunately, the Chinese central defender partner formed by Zheng Zhi and Li Weifeng performed very steadily in the penalty area and organized the defense in an orderly manner. He did not give Karimi or Iran a chance.

Of course, the Chinese team failed to create an absolute scoring opportunity. Although they fought back several times under Yin Jun's leadership, they were unable to break through the Iranian team's goal in the end.

Until the end of the first half, the score on the field remained at 0:0.

……………………

After the second half of the game began, the Iranian team launched a fierce offensive against the Chinese team's goal again, hoping to take advantage of the opportunity of the Chinese team's unstable foothold to gain a score lead.

Half of the game has passed and Iran has not taken the lead yet, which is extremely unfavorable for them.

The Iran team is very clear that it would be a very bad thing to wait for the next round of the game to compete with Japan away.

When Iran strengthened its offensive, Chinese goalkeeper Li Leilei ushered in a highlight moment. His first save after the start of the second half of the game took off, flew across the air, and rapped the football out of the bottom line with one hand!

"Oh pretty!" Huang Jianqiang cheered loudly while breathing a sigh of relief, "Li Leilei's save this time is very successful! It seems that he is in good condition today!"

After landing, Li Leilei rolled around on the ground to relieve his strength, then stood up directly with the trend. His whole set of movements was extremely chic. After getting up, he did not forget to shake his fingers in the direction of the Iranian players.

The Iranian team's offensive continued and did not end because of Li Leilei's wonderful save this time.

After they got the corner kick, they did not directly send the football to the goal, but made a change and took a tactical corner kick. After passing the wing, they suddenly passed the football.

Iranian forward Alidei, who had been ambushing in the middle, jumped high and grabbed the ball before Li Weifeng. But he did not directly push the football towards the Chinese team's goal, but clicked back!

Li Weifeng and Zheng Zhi both lost their money and shook Li Leilei for a moment. He was like a spring compressed to the extreme, and they were ready to pounce on this end of Alidei, but the football flew to the back point.

He didn't care about what was going on at the back point. His feet were faster than his eyes. As soon as he kicked out, he seemed to be a racing car that had a speed of 7,200 rpm and ejected to the back point!

When he was in the air, he could see clearly the situation at the back point - Iranian defender Gormuhamadi rushed from behind to the goal, facing the rubbed football and pushed his head!

"Be careful!!" Huang Jianqiang and He Wei almost exclaimed at the same time.

The Iranian defender's forehead hit the football in the middle of his forehead, and the ball line flew towards the goal close to the close. Li Leilei's hand also rushed, but he was still one step late. He arrived the moment the football flew across the goal line, and only grabbed a ball of flowing air.

"Oh--!" the two commentators sighed to the sky.

The cheering decibels at the Azadi Stadium hit a new high, like an insurmountable peak.
Chapter completed!
