Chi Meiya
Chapter 213 It's over, Qatar is completely finished!
Just like Dragon Country broadcasts the Stick Country's World Cup qualifiers, Stick Country also has dedicated live broadcasts and commentary.
"This kind of player should belong to us. Why? Dragon Country must have spent a lot of money to naturalize him, right? We Stick Country also have money! We are a developed country!"
"With Zhao Gang, a team like Dragon Country can kick Qatar like this. If we had Zhao Gang, we would definitely be invincible in Asia! We would also be very competitive in the World Cup! What a pity..."
In Cherry Blossom Country, fans watching the game were also constantly slapping their thighs. Cherry Blossom Country has many players playing in Europe, but it seems that none can compare to Zhao Gang.
Shinji Kagawa was thoroughly taught a lesson by Zhao Gang, who was still in the English Championship last season. If Zhao Gang, who has grown rapidly this season, meets Shinji Kagawa again, wouldn't he beat the crap out of him?
"Zhao-Jun's skills, value, team status, and tactical importance are unique in all of Asia. Manchester City takes him as the core. When he arrives in Dragon Country, he can still lead such a national team to kick Qatar like this. It seems that the Dragon Country team is likely to rise!"
"The Dragon Country team isn't in the same group as us. The ones who should be worried are the kimchi little sticks!"
"I originally thought that with these years of development, our Vietnam team would have a good chance to surpass the Dragon Country team. Now it seems I was overthinking it. The tactical quality shown by the Dragon Country team in this game is still very high. In the past, they didn't have a real core and didn't know how to play. Now that they have a core and a goal, their combat power is still very strong."
Inside the My Dinh National Stadium, fans were excited, and Wang Mingli, who was supervising the battle on the spot, and various Football Association leaders were all smiles.
Wang Mingli, who sent Zhao Gang abroad due to some internal struggles, was suppressed, and Zhao Gang was not initially called up.
As a result, Gao Bo drew firewood from under the pot, and the team's record reached an irreparable point. Pressure from all sides gathered, and the Football Association had to compromise, enabling Lippi, hoping to quell the anger from all sides.
Now, although Wang Mingli is basically about to stand up again because of Zhao Gang, this is not good news for some people within the Football Association.
But overall, the team is thriving, and the benefits outweigh the disadvantages.
After all, if the record is too poor, without Wang Mingli causing trouble, those leaders are likely to be directly dismissed.
Xu Pi Dai was also there. After all, most of this national team were his players, and he was beaming.
The fact that this national team is so excellent now has a huge relationship with him.
He found both the players and the head coach!
This Zhao Gang is really strong. Joining the team can bring such a big change.
Such a young man can lift the Dragon Country team to another level.
If this kind of phenomenal player could return to the country and join Hengtai, wouldn't Hengtai take off?
Xu Pi Dai was pondering whether it was possible to find some connections and lure him to take him down.
If he could be taken down, the increase in Hengtai's brand value would definitely grow exponentially.
Listen to the fans all over the stadium shouting Zhao Gang's name, and look at the fans all over the stadium wearing jersey number eighteen.
If you want to take down Zhao Gang, money is not a problem, it's all from the bank, it's all from the taxpayers, it has nothing to do with me.
No matter how valuable Zhao Gang is, compared to hundreds of billions or trillions, it's just a drop in the bucket.
Qatar players kicked off from the center circle again.
After passing back, the Dragon Country team still did not press high.
Now that they are already leading by two goals, they must rationally allocate their physical energy and can no longer over-consume.
Increase defense and find opportunities to counterattack again.
Wu Lei still has the impact, but his ability to seize opportunities is slightly worse than top players.
Zhao Gang is more comfortable with this kind of play. If the formation is compressed, Qatar will attack, and counterattacks will be easier to launch.
He still continued to follow Musa and did not participate in the team's overall defense.
The Dragon Country's defense is quite skilled, and they have not dropped the ball before. Zhao Gang still trusts them very much.
These defensive players have a very good mentality and do not have the laughable defensive attitude of a general like Fu Huan.
Lippi's deterrence against them is still very effective.
Qatar began to advance, trying to find a chance to pull back a goal. In the current situation, they must attack.
If they lose, there can be no more problems in the subsequent games, especially now that the Dragon Country team is in a hot state, and it is very likely to compete for the top three or even the top two in the group, which is very bad news for Qatar.
Musa was playing very uncomfortably. Zhao Gang was too difficult to deal with.
He is fast and explosive, making it difficult to get rid of his defense.
It is becoming somewhat difficult to receive the ball, and it is even more difficult to continue organizing the offense as a metronome.
The other players' defenses will basically maintain a certain distance, fearing being broken through directly if they get too close.
But Zhao Gang stuck very close, reacted quickly, and relied on his confrontation and speed to stay with him relentlessly.
This situation can only be seen in the entanglement between center backs and center forwards. When have two midfielders been so intimate on the field?
Musa often sighed, his face full of helplessness.
Unable to organize smoothly, he could only let his teammates on the wing attack.
Qatar's midfield control and penetration tactics were somewhat unworkable, so they could only use the previous tactics again, starting with breakthroughs on both wings and creating threats with crosses.
Zhang Linpeng on the right is strong, fast, and accurate in his tackles. Qatar can basically not make any progress on his left.
They can only transfer the ball to the right wing. Jiang Zhipeng's defensive ability is indeed not as good as Zhang Linpeng's, which may become a breakthrough point.
However, Huang Bowen's timely retreat and supplementary defense left Qatar players with no choice again.
They were somewhat helpless and could only choose to pass back and continue to control the ball.
"Qatar really doesn't have a particularly good attacking method. Their previous tactic was to penetrate through the midfield through the transmission of the ball, especially the two forwards were not parallel, but one in front and one behind. With Musa's passing, it was easier to open a gap in the middle.
But today, Musa is completely restricted by Zhao Gang, and it is difficult for him to receive the ball and turn around comfortably.
Zhao Gang's offense is very strong, and his defensive awareness and restriction of the opponent's key players are very well done." He Shi was happy. How could there be such a treasure player?
"That's how it is. Because Musa's position and role are basically somewhat similar to Zhao Gang's role in Manchester City, Zhao Gang is most familiar with this kind of attacking midfielder's style of play. He has a lot of experience..."
"Let's take a look at this steal first!!!"
On the field, the sudden change made He Shi nervous.
Musa finally got the ball and sent a through ball. Zheng Zhi slid out and directly poked the ball towards the midfield.
Wu Xi quickly rushed over, controlled the ball, dribbled forward, and observed his teammates' running positions.
On Qatar's defense line, Wu Lei vigilantly tried to prepare for offside. Wu Xi was not sure of sending a through ball through two defense lines, so he could only continue to dribble the ball. Huang Bowen and Zhao Gang began to support forward.
Qatar's midfielders approached Wu Xi, guarding against him continuing to break through.
Huang Bowen had already stepped in, but Zhao Gang slowed down at this time.
Musa, who was closely following Zhao Gang, relaxed slightly. Wu Xi passed the ball back to Zhao Gang, and Musa quickly stretched his leg to interfere.
Zhao Gang passed the ball back to Wu Xi without stopping.
Zheng Zhi caught up, and Wu received Wu Xi's pass.
"Zheng Zhi, Zhao Gang, Wu Xi, Zhao Gang..."
The three of them started passing the ball in the midfield like catching a rabbit.
This situation was rare in the previous Dragon Country team, because there was a lack of an extremely stable ball-holding player like Zhao Gang. Once the opponent started pressing, the ball would likely be stolen.
It is different now. Once someone presses, Wu Xi and Zheng Zhi can confidently pass the ball to Zhao Gang. He can protect the ball, and Musa can never steal it alone.
This is the importance of a core, allowing teammates to be more daring and confident in their actions.
"Wu Xi, Zhao Gang..." He Shi had no words and could only keep saying the players' names.
"The Dragon Country team players are very relaxed, in good shape, and in a good state of mind, full of confidence."
"Yes, Zhao Gang... Ouch! Zhao Gang!!!!"
During the three-person midfield passing, the Qatar players seemed to have figured out the three's routine. When Zhao Gang received the ball and was about to pass again, three Qatar players suddenly started, preparing to intercept the pass.
At the moment Zhao Gang passed the ball, he exerted force suddenly, and the football suddenly changed direction, directly piercing Qatar's midfield defense and quickly reaching the defense line.
Wu Lei, who had been sneaking around on the defense line, immediately sped up and sprinted, waving his arms.
The football slanted through the defensive players, and the ball speed was a bit fast, rushing straight to the penalty area.
Wu Lei pouted, gritted his teeth, widened his eyes, and accelerated, throwing off the defender by half a body.
And faster and faster!
When he rushed to the edge of the penalty area, he had already thrown off the defender by a whole body.
"One-on-one, one-on-one, Wu Lei!! Wu Lei has a one-on-one!!"
At the moment Wu Lei started, the goalkeeper also quickly started and rushed out.
Wu Lei got the ball at the edge of the penalty area, took another touch, and continued to move forward quickly. The goalkeeper attacked, stretched his body, and pounced on the football.
Wu Lei took the lead and kicked the football, stumbling over the goalkeeper.
The goalkeeper stretched out his arms and turned his head desperately, watching the football roll towards the goal.
Wu Lei fell into the penalty area with a thud, watching the football roll towards the goal.
"Ah!!! The ball went in again! Went in again!!! Wu Lei! Wu Lei's very alert run! Received Zhao Gang's through ball and scored against the goalkeeper!
In the forty-third minute of the game, the Dragon Country team scored again, leading Qatar 3:0!!"
Collapsed, Qatar completely collapsed.
The three-back tactic was completely declared a failure, and the tactic of hoarding heavy troops in the midfield was directly broken through!
Wu Lei got up from the ground, turned around, opened his arms, with a simple and honest smile on his face.
Zhao Gang rushed over, and the two hugged each other tightly.
The scene was like a silver bottle breaking, and the fans stepped on the chairs and high platforms, cheering to their heart's content.
Dragon Country, how many years has it been since the Dragon Country team led by three goals in the first half!
These players, in this game, let everyone see huge, huge hope.
At the very front of the stands, that short, bespectacled, gentle man had gone crazy, his face contorted, his voice almost hoarse from shouting.
"Ah!!!! Kick them to death!!! Kick these useless Qataris to death!!! Go home!!! Without the referee, Qatar is nothing!! Kick them to death!! rtm!!"
"This pass! Really... This one melted my heart..."
In the live replay, Zhao Gang's sudden change of rhythm didn't involve lifting his leg with force at all, but he just passed the ball out with one kick, and the ball was extremely fast, straight, and stable, with extremely high concealment.
Without a huge swing of the leg, it was too late for the Qatar players to stop the ball when they saw it heading towards the frontcourt.
"How can you pass this kind of ball??"
"Indescribable, you really can't believe it until you see it. Someone can use this kind of footwork to pass this kind of ball. Wu Lei's run is also wonderful, but to be honest, many people can do Wu Lei's run. This pass is really not something everyone can pass. Talent, absolute talent!
Who would have imagined that the Dragon Country team could lead 3:0 in the first half! We Dragon Country fans ourselves dare not imagine this kind of thing!"
"Scalpel, a real scalpel pass..."
"Well, this number seven is okay, this time he didn't waste the opportunity. If he wasted this kind of opportunity, he should really find a rope and hang himself..."
Rod was about to interject, but Brooke suddenly opened his arms and raised them high, "Zhao!!!! Zhao's wonderful pass!!! Zhao!!! Zhao!!!"
Rod shook his head. I'm not jealous of you making money at all.
The live camera gave a shot of the stands, and in the sea of red, the fans were jumping and singing. How long has it been since a national team game allowed fans to shout and sing so easily and freely without any worries.
The Dragon Country fans in front of the screen were excited and a little regretful. The camera swept across, and the atmosphere on the scene made them envious.
How wonderful would it be to be at the scene and feel this strong football atmosphere?
"So many people, the Dragon Country's football fans are really no worse than foreign ones!"
"That's right, Hengtai's football market is enough to compare with European clubs, as long as Dragon Country football has a little bit worth..."
"It's getting better, it's getting better! Play like this, we're going to qualify... Although Qatar is not strong, being able to play at this level, there is definitely a chance to rush out of Asia!!"
"Hold on, there is a great chance!!"
"Go Dragon Country team!"
The camera kept sweeping across the excited fans and the excited Lippi.
When the fans in front of the screen watched the live replay and saw that freehand but extremely deadly pass, their hearts trembled.
Awesome, really awesome!
Suddenly, He Shi, who was talking about the Dragon Country team's next schedule, roared, "Oh!! Here it comes, here it comes! It's here again, it's here again!!"
In the live broadcast, the director was still replaying the goal just now and had not switched back to the live broadcast, which made the fans anxious. What's going on? What's going on? Watch it, watch it!!
"The ball went in! Went in again! Went in again!! Qatar..." It's over, Qatar is over, He Shi almost blurted out in excitement.
