Chapter 435 This is not a penalty!
Wuhan, !
Click, click, click!
At 2: . on the day of the game, the Chinese national football team players came out of the hotel and were immediately surrounded and photographed by reporters.
"Jiang Yuan! Jiang Yuan!"
"Feng Xiaoting!"
"Mourinho, woww!!!"
This is the 9th round of the Asian Qualifiers so far, and this round of matches in Wuhan is also the one that the Chinese national football team has received the most support. Wuhan is the city with the largest number of college students in the world, and these college students alone are enough to block the entire door of the hotel.
"Sign, sign!"
Hundreds of people held photos and black pens and asked Jiang Yuan for autographs. Jiang Yuan was a little overwhelmed: "Time is tight, I can't give you much, I can't give you much..."
When Jiang Yuan was signing autographs, Zhang Yuning had been observing from behind. He immediately spotted a girl wearing his jersey, so he walked over and reached out to take the photo and paper from the girl's hand.
"what?"
The girl was stunned for a moment, then reflexively pulled her hand back.
"Oh! Sorry sorry!"
Zhang Yuning realized that the girl didn't want his autograph, so he apologized repeatedly.
The girl is a little embarrassed now. She only brought a sign of Jiang Yuan, and her purpose was to get Jiang Yuan's photo.
Although Zhang Yuning is not a big name, he is still a member of the national team, so the girl quickly said, "Brother Ning, wait, wait, can you sign my clothes?"
"Forget it, I'll call Brother Yuan over for you..."
Zhang Yuning touched his head, and just at this time Jiang Yuan had already walked to the side, so Zhang Yuning gently pulled Jiang Yuan.
"Hello, thank you!"
Zhang Yuning stood at the back, listening to the crowd shouting "Jiang Yuan"'s name, with indescribable envy in his eyes.
Tears soaked my jacket, and I vowed to become a big star!
"Let's go, let's go. I can't give you much. It's too late to wait!"
After giving about 20 signatures, Jiang Yuan waved to the crowds in all directions and was the last one to get on the bus.
"You're already so tired before the game even starts?"
Mourinho couldn't help teasing Jiang Yuan as he watched him get into the car in a panic. The latter leaned on the handle, exhaled, and said nothing. Mourinho patted Jiang Yuan's butt and asked him to sit in his seat. The Portuguese planned to take advantage of this half-hour drive to emphasize some issues that had not been discussed in the hotel.
"There should be a lot of fans here today, especially outside the stadium. Please pay attention. If you feel that you are very nervous or there are other problems, please tell me immediately."
Mourinho said slowly that the number of fans today was a bit exaggerated. There were not many stars in the national football team. Many of them were young people, such as Zhang Yuning and Wei Shihao. They had never seen such a scene and their mentality was easily affected.
"You have to remember, no matter what the fans say, they support us, ok?"
Mourinho was talking to the fans when the bus next to him suddenly braked and the driver rolled down the window and shouted: "Zebra! (swear word)"
"What is he saying?"
Mourinho was suddenly yelled at by the driver of the bus next to him. He was a little confused. He only knew that his bus almost collided with a bus.
When asked, the driver said he didn't know. He only knew that he made a mistake in his operation just now.
Looking at the players, they looked at each other, and finally gave their eyes to Zhang Xizhe. Liao Lisheng pinched Zhang Xizhe's shoulder and said, "You are from Wuhan, right?"
"He's scolding us..."
"What the hell?"
Wei Shihao stood up from his chair: "Why shouldn't I do this to him?"
"Hey, calm down! Calm down!"
Mourinho came over and pushed Wei Shihao back into his seat: "What I just said, no matter what others say, just think of it as supporting us"
"This stupid thing, fuck it, forget it!"
Wei Shihao was very unconvinced, but since Mourinho had said so, there was nothing he could do.
"Brother Hao!"
Zhang Yuning, who was sitting in the front, leaned on the back of the chair and pointed at the yellow hair on Wei Shihao's head: "Brother Hao, is your hair so handsome?"
Wei Shihao reached out and touched his hair: "Well, it's OK. I wanted to dye it a fan, but I think we can't rush it."
Wei Shihao is now a substitute for the Chinese national football team's first team, and he can't even be considered a substitute. In this situation, it is better to keep a low profile!
"Pink hair? Pink hair is fine. I have a pink hair in my club, but he changed his color recently and is now brown."
Jiang Yuan suddenly said, you know what, this yellow-haired guy Wei Shihao is still handsome.
"You mean Pogba?"
Wei Shihao took a deep breath and said: "His hairstyle is indeed handsome, but it is not easy to take care of it."
As the bus was driving, Jiang Yuan and a group of players' cell phones suddenly rang.

"CCTV, CCTV, good evening, dear audience friends, this is the live broadcast of the 2018th round of the 9 Russia World Cup qualifiers, the Chinese men's football team will play against the Uzbek men's football team at home."
[Narrator: He Wei; Commentator: Zhan Jun]
"We can see that the players from both teams are ready for the game. Now let me introduce the starting lineup for this game."
"First up is the Chinese men's football team, wearing red jerseys, attacking from the right side of the screen to the left!"
China (4-2-3-1)
Goalkeeper: Zeng Cheng
Defenders: Deng Hanwen, Zhang Linpeng, Feng Xiaoting, Li Xuepeng
Midfielders: Zheng Zhi, Hao Junmin, Liao Lisheng
Forwards: Wu Lei, Gao Lin, Jiang Yuan
Head coach: José Mourinho
"Then the Uzbek men's soccer team, in white jerseys, attacks from the left side of the screen to the right!"
Uzbekistan (4-2-2)
Goalkeeper: Nesterov
……
"The five-star red flag flutters in the wind~"
"The victory song is so loud~"
"Singing our beloved motherland~"
"From now on, we will be prosperous and strong~"
"Singing the Motherland" was played in the stands of the stadium. This is the official cheering song for today's Chinese national football team VS Uzbekistan men's football team match.
In the pre-match fan vote, "Singing the Motherland" was selected as the official cheering song with of the votes, followed by "The Red Flag Is Flying" and "Conquer".
One of the main reasons why this song was able to beat "The Red Flag Is Flying" is the lyrics "towards prosperity and strength".
This is very similar to the current situation of the Chinese men's football team!
"The game has already started, and we can see that the Chinese men's football team showed very strong aggressiveness right from the start!"
"That's right. Since Mourinho took over as coach, the Chinese national football team's tactics have changed a lot."
"When facing strong teams, the Chinese national football team can park the bus at 550, but when playing against teams of similar or weaker level, the Chinese national football team can show enough offensive aggression..."
As He Wei and Zhan Jun analyzed, Mourinho emphasized the frontcourt attack to the team before the start of today's game.
Uzbekistan played 442, which showed that they wanted to fight against the Chinese national team in the midfield.
Coach Babayan knows that the Chinese national team's midfielder's ability to control the ball is relatively weak, so he wants to use more midfielders to restrict the Chinese national team's midfielders.
Mourinho can certainly see this problem. In the face of this situation, the Chinese men's football team has two good ways to deal with it. The first is to defend and park the bus. If the opponent wants to suppress their midfield, the national team will castrate themselves and directly give up the midfield.
There is another style of play that Mourinho is using now, which is high pressure and high defense, trying to control the ball in the opponent's half as much as possible.
Of course, this style of play places very high demands on forwards.
The camera was in the visiting team's half. Jiang Yuan received the pass from Liao Lisheng. At the moment of receiving the ball, Jiang Yuan was standing relatively close to the center. At this time, Gao Lin, as the center forward, should have run to the left to exchange positions with Jiang Yuan, but Gao Lin did not do so.
Since he failed to cooperate with his teammates, Jiang Yuan chose to do it alone. After dribbling the ball out, he immediately rushed to the side.
"Look at him, look at Jiang!"
Babayan was under a lot of pressure and quickly signaled to the players on the field to form a targeted defense against Jiang Yuan, and the players did so. Sergeyev gave up defending Li Xuepeng and ran towards Jiang Yuan with Jeparov.
There was a person running towards him from the left and right front. Jiang Yuan thought about it, then poked the ball forward with his toes, passing it between Sergeyev and Jeparov.
Then, second acceleration!
"Jiang Yuan, the kick is very powerful, speed up!"
"Beautiful! Jiang Yuan passed directly between two defensive players. The visiting team probably didn't expect Jiang Yuan to do this. They are a little overwhelmed now."
"Jeparo is chasing. He wants to block Jiang Yuan's direct inside position."
It doesn't matter if he is eaten alive. Before playing against the Chinese national team, Babayan made a special analysis of Jiang Yuan and shared it with the defensive players in the team, which included four steps.
1. How to avoid being knocked down by Jiang Yuan
2. What if you are eaten alive?
3. What should you do to save the situation after being eaten alive?
4. If there is no way to save the situation, how can you make yourself lose with more dignity?
There are 4 steps in total, and we are only at the third step now!
Jeparov still has a chance!
"Carnegie line! Carnegie line!"
Babayan shouted that the most terrifying thing about Jiang Yuan was not that he could directly eat up the opponent's wing defender, but that he would suddenly change direction and cut inside after eating the player.
It is impossible to shoot if you pass the winger, but if you cut inside from outside the penalty area, your own goal will really be threatened!
At this time, Jeparov was closer to the top of the arc. In fact, he had a great chance to block Jiang Yuan. However, Jiang Yuan did not play by the rules. He pushed the ball inside with his left foot and started to cut inside directly.
No!
Jeparov thought it was not good and reached out to pull Jiang Yuan.
It's true that he pulled him, but because the distance was a bit long, his upper body was leaning forward when he caught Jiang Yuan, and the consequence of his upper body leaning forward was that his center of gravity was unstable.
Jiang Yuan accelerated, and Jeparov was pulled forward and thrown to the ground, rolling twice.
"woww!"
"Jiang Yuan, continue, go inside and knock on the door!"
"Fake move, no rush, Jiang Yuan chose to knock Izmailov down first. Now is a good chance to shoot, but Jiang Yuan still needs to face Bikmayev and goalkeeper Nesterov!"
"Gao Lin is on the side. Gao Lin's position is pretty good!"
"Jiang Yuan!"
Everyone thought Jiang Yuan was going to pass the ball to Gao Lin. The Uzbek defender certainly knew that. In order to prevent Gao Lin from being blocked, Jiang Yuan suddenly knocked the ball to the right with his left foot.
Wu Lei came up from nowhere and shot!
“The ball goes in! The ball goes in!!!!!!!”
"Wu Lei, the goal from the Chinese team's No. 10, Wu Lei!"
"In the 18th minute of the game, the Chinese team scored the first goal!"
The cheers at the scene were so loud that fans watching the game in the CCTV live broadcast room could also feel the atmosphere on the scene.
"wowoww!"
"wwwowow!"
Wu Lei ran from the position where he scored the goal to the right sideline, slid on his knees and rushed out, and when he stood up again, he was already stepping on the plastic track.
"Wu Lei! Awesome!"
"Brilliant!"
It is not a professional stadium, and the fans are a bit far away from the players on the field, but this distance is nothing for the players whose brains have been paralyzed after scoring a goal. Wu Lei and Hao Junmin together crossed the billboard and came to the bottom of the fan stands.
"woww!"
"Wu Lei, kill them! Last 2 games, last 2 games!"
Just like the fans said, there are only two rounds left in the Asian qualifiers, and whether we can advance depends on the final matches against Uzbekistan and Qatar.
Wu Lei's goal was wonderful, but he also needed to keep steady!
After celebrating with the fans, Jiang Yuan, who was running slowly from behind, also arrived. He opened his arms and hugged Wu Lei in his arms: "Brother Lei, haha!"
Forward Shomurodov kicked the ball out and the game continued!
"China!"
Boom!
"China!"
Boom!
The emotions of the fans at the scene became more and more excited. The game lasted until the 30th minute. As the lagging side, Uzbekistan launched a counterattack against the Chinese national team. Among them, forward Shomurodov played an important role in this counterattack.
Like Jiang Yuan, Shomurodov used his speed to eat up Hao Junmin, who was responsible for defending him.
"The one with the ball now is Uzbekistan's forward Shomurodov, who has excellent speed."
"Hao Junmin, chase her back, beautiful!"
"Shomurodov successfully passed the Chinese defender in the first encounter, but he did not have the ability to accelerate a second time like Jiang Yuan did."
"Uzbekistan's attack didn't work, Hao Junmin made an excellent steal!"
At this point in the game, the two commentators from CCTV had already discovered something.
What Mourinho brought to the Chinese men's football team is not only a first-class tactical system in international football, but also discipline.
This kind of discipline is not just the discipline off the field. In today's game, the Chinese national football players showed a discipline that they have never shown in previous games.
Although the level of these defensive players of the Chinese national team may be a little weak, it doesn’t matter. What Mourinho is good at is using some players of low level to build a defensive system.
当4名50万欧防守球员配合起来的时候，他们可以打出总值400万欧的效果，这样平均下来每名防守球员的身价就从50万欧变成了100万欧。
Okay, this is handsome!
The game reached the 35th minute. China's total ball possession rate so far was 51%, with one more shot than their opponents and one more shot on target.
Judging from the data, there seems to be no difference between China and Uzbekistan, thanks to coach Babayan's targeting of Jiang Yuan.
After the loss of the last goal, both Deparov and Krimets became more cautious!
30分钟之前一直是中国队的优势，但在30分钟肖穆罗多夫的那次进攻之后，客场作战的乌兹别克斯坦慢慢找到了他们的状态，35-40分钟这短短5分钟的时间里3次威胁到中国队的球门。
The halftime whistle sounded.
Although the team was in the lead, Mourinho's expression was not very good.
Brown came over and had already written down all the problems he observed in the first half in a notebook, but when he handed the notebook to Mourinho, the Portuguese did not reach out for it immediately.
"what happened?"
Brown asked, Mourinho shook his head and said nothing, Brown immediately understood what Mourinho meant.
Uzbekistan’s strength seems to be a bit beyond the Portuguese’s expectations!
At halftime, the players began to rest and the coaches of both teams started their game. Mourinho raised his index finger in the locker room: "1:0 lead, this is worth being happy about, but you have to know that this is the lead, not the result, ok?"
"We had problems with our defense and offense. We did well at the beginning, but in the latter part, some people forgot what I emphasized before the game, pay attention to the width of the court. Also, Artemisia"
Mourinho turned to Hao Junmin, and the translator followed him: "Why did you let go of your inside line? The penalty area is behind you. You must not let go of the inside line, okay?"
"..."
……
In the stadium stands, a middle-aged couple wearing Nike jackets sat together. They were fans of the Chinese national football team and also professors at Huazhong University of Science and Technology. During the halftime break, the husband and wife talked about his work in the laboratory.
"We originally planned to do the experiment today, but because of the queue for that machine, we only had it until this Saturday. Then I planned to let the students work overtime. As a result, haha, you know, I taught four graduate students, and all four of them asked for leave, and they all had the flu."
Qin Gaozhi leaned back in his chair: "It's not the flu season yet, they are definitely lying to me!"
"What about the machine? What happened to the machine you picked up?"
"I've returned"
Qin Gaozhi sighed helplessly, "I've been waiting in line for nearly 20 days, but in the end no one is free, and I'm not free either. As for my graduate students, oh, I really don't want to talk about them. What important matter is there that would allow them to lie to me like this? I shouldn't have recruited students from my own school, they're all lazy pigs!"
Qin Gaozhi had just finished speaking when he suddenly noticed a young man wearing a black hat in front of him.
This back view looks so familiar.
hiss--
Qin Gaozhi took a deep breath and patted the young man in front of him on the shoulder: "Hello?"
Something awesome happened. After being patted by Qin Gaozhi, the young man stood up, picked up the lidless cup of Coke in his hand and prepared to leave.
So Qin Gaozhi shouted directly: "Hengyuan!"
"..."
The young man turned around and took off his hat: "Teacher..."
"...It's really you, come here, come here"
Qin Gaozhi motioned for Zhang Hengyuan to sit down in his seat: "Who bought your ticket? Did you buy it together?"
"Yes, I bought them all myself," Zhang Hengyuan replied.
"Okay, okay, when you bought the ticket, did you ever think that you would buy it with me?"
"..."
"never mind"
Qin Gaozhi waved his hand: "Are all four of you here? Where are Tang Hongyu and the others?"
"No, no, no, I came here alone."
"really?"
Qin Gaozhi looked very surprised: "But you just told me that 'I bought them all myself'. Why did you say 'all' if you were alone?"
"..."
Seeing that Zhang Hengyuan didn't say anything, Qin Gaozhi probably understood and could only sigh helplessly: "We have been waiting for that machine for more than two weeks!"
The wife next to him couldn't stand it anymore and said: "Why don't you stay here?"
"..."
"Ahem, teacher, I'm here to give you a gift."
Zhang Hengyuan suddenly thought of something, and he reached into the inside pocket of his shirt and took out a photo.
In the photo, Jiang Yuan was roaring at the fans in the stands. Of course, if it was just a photo, there was no need for Zhang Hengyuan to take it out.
This is a signed photo!
"I was waiting at the hotel entrance at 12:, in the front row, and this autograph is still hot!"
"hiss--!"
Qin Gaozhi's eyes lit up.
Although the experiment was not carried out, it is undeniable that my apprentice is really sensible!
"Thank you then!"
Qin Gaozhi reached out to take the autographed photo from Zhang Hengyuan's hand, but Zhang Hengyuan did not let go. Instead, he stared at the autographed photo in his hand.
?
"Disciple, please let go!"
Qin Gaozhi exerted force and snatched the autographed photo away.
Then, he turned to his wife and said, "We have to recruit graduate students from our own school. People from our own school are the closest to us."
……
At the beginning of the second half, Zhang Yuning, Zhao Xuri, and Jiang Zhipeng began to warm up outside the court. There were also players warming up in front of the Uzbek bench, but few fans in the CCTV live broadcast room recognized their players.
52 '
"On the Uzbek side, it's still Shomurodov. Today Shomurodov is really the backbone of the team."
"Cross over, leave it to Shukurov!"
"Come into the penalty area, Zhang Linpeng, block the position."
"Hey, wait, Shukurov is down! Shukurov is down!"
"Referee, look at what the referee says"
"Penalty, it's a penalty! Not long after the second half started, Uzbekistan got a penalty!"
Referee Pereira pointed his index finger at the penalty spot and the stands were filled with curses. The fans were obviously not very satisfied with the referee's decision.
Of course, it's not just the fans.
The camera turns to Mourinho.
"Fuck, this is not a penalty, this is not a penalty!"
