Chapter Seventy-two: The Gate of Addiction
Thank you book friend "My reading experience of this book" for your second reward, continue to ask for recommendation votes, collection and member clicks ^_^
The Iranian team has the most talented players in Asia, but they have never become the overlord of Asian football. The main problem lies in their poor defensive line (not a personal ability issue, but an organizational problem). China's tenacious performance and consecutive goals also put tremendous psychological pressure on Iran's defenders. In this situation, Iran's error-prone defense line made mistakes again...
Huang Jianxiang's tone suddenly rose, "Iran's defender made a mistake, Gao Jun and Yu Hai had a great tacit understanding of the first successful interception of the ball, Yu Hai passed the ball quickly before the opponent's player fouled, now the offense is favorable, the referee did not blow the whistle to stop the game, Huo Jiamin brought the ball forward...... Little Huo cleverly used his heel to pass the ball horizontally and gave it back to Gao Jun, Gao Jun didn't stop the ball and directly sent it to the left front, Yu Hai, who had already rushed to the front, took the ball, Iran's entire defense line has been completely broken through! Iran's player pulled down Yu Hai! Damn it! If they were a second later, Yu Hai could have entered the penalty area......
"Gao Jun, Huo Jiaming and Shao Jia Yi, these three people all stood in front of the ball, are they preparing to make a combination? Oh, the first one to make a run, Huo Jiaming, actually shot directly! It was high, unfortunately... no, wait, the ball went in! The ball went in! This free kick had a strong downward spin in the final stage and unexpectedly flew into the net. What a magnificent falling leaf ball! Huo Jiaming finally showed his true strength after being silent for most of the game, let's cheer for him! China team successfully tied the score to just one goal under the difficult circumstances of being behind for most of the game!
Just as Huang Jianxiang's excited voice was about to be overwhelmed with tears, his face suddenly changed and he said, "What happened to Yu Hai? Did he get injured?"
The national football players on the field were also shocked, fortunately, Yu Hai only had cramps and was not seriously injured, but he could no longer continue to play in this game. In fact, among the three national players of Dongfang team, Yu Hai's physical fitness has always been the best, but in this game, he was already exhausted from defending against Madavikia earlier, and also had to frequently shuttle back and forth between the front and back courts, consuming a lot of energy. Later, although he no longer took care of defense, he still had to frequently sprint at high speed to seize every opportunity for quick counterattacks, which also consumed a lot of physical strength. Even though the running distance didn't seem long, the consumption was not much more than the average 10,000-meter run per game. Moreover, Yu Hai is young and not an old fox like Gao Lin, so his energy distribution was not reasonable enough, resulting in him being forced to leave the field due to physical exhaustion...
Yu Hai's substitute, Yan Junling, had an equally impressive attacking ability, but the tacit understanding between him and Gao Lin and Hao Haidong was far from ideal. Moreover, due to being robbed of his starting position by Yu Hai, his relationship with the three national team players was not good. After coming on, even when he got the ball, he just soloed, relying on his decent dribbling skills and relatively full physical strength to create some trouble for Iran's defense line, but ultimately failed to score. However, his competition for the ball restricted Gao Lin and Hao Haidong's performance. Furthermore, at this point in the game, the national team's weakness in endurance had been completely exposed, with multiple players suffering from cramps one after another, and they were unable to score again until the end of the game. Meanwhile, Iran scored the winning goal through Hashemian in the final stages of the match, rendering China's previous efforts completely futile...
However, Huang Jianxiang still affirmed the performance of the Chinese team in his commentary. "Although this game once again saw a 'black three minutes', the players of the national football team have already given their all and presented everyone with a wonderful match. The performance is still worthy of recognition, especially the front three from Shanghai East Asia who performed even better in this match. At their current age, we have every reason to look forward to their bright future......" Later, as he said, although the Chinese team lost the game, they were still warmly welcomed by fans when they returned home, just like what a fan said "Love you if you win, love you if you lose, don't love you if you don't fight." Of course, these are all afterwords......
And football player Tao Wei saw a bigger bright spot from the technical statistics after the game, "Jian Xiang, this game we played really well, although the possession rate was only 41.6%. However, there were 17 shots in total, with 10 of them being on target, while Iran had 24 shots but only 8 of them were on target. From the most critical number of shots on target, we actually had a certain advantage. It can be said that Iran's ability to grasp opportunities in this game was really high, with 8 shots on target and 7 goals scored, their shooting quality was too high...... No!"
Tao Wei watched the whole game and remembered that Iran's shooting quality was not high, and the data record of 24 shots with only 8 on target also proved this point. However, even so, Iran's 8 shots on target still scored 7 goals, which is strange...
After listening to Tao Wei, Huang Jianxiang's professional characteristics as a media person were suddenly stimulated. After the broadcast, he took some time to watch the game video and found that at least half of the goals scored by Iran could have been saved, but China's goalkeeper Liu Yunfei didn't save any of them. The only shot from Iran that didn't go in was blocked by Li Dajun, the captain of the Chinese team, who sacrificed himself to block the ball...
"This is abnormal, this is too abnormal. During the Asian Cup, his state was like divine assistance. How could it have dropped to this extent in just half a year? Even if he's afraid of the Iranian team, it shouldn't be to this extent, right? Is he playing fake football?" After having this thought, Huang Jianxiang felt that it might really be the case. At that time, China's media still had considerable freedom of speech, and even spreading rumors would not be punished. Therefore, Huang Jianxiang directly threw out his suspicions on ***, causing a huge stir at the time.
The Football Association, under public pressure, had to send someone to investigate. As a result, no evidence of Liu Yunfei's fake ball was found, but unexpectedly, he was discovered to be taking drugs, and it was suppressive (HLY) rather than those stimulating poisons. It's not surprising that there is no state in training and competition. As a result, Liu Yunfei, who originally had excellent talent and could have become the first goalkeeper in Chinese football history, rose to fame for a short time, but fell into the abyss, not only being permanently expelled from the national team, but also being swept out of the club...
