Perfect Center

Chapter 223: Cannonball header! Scored twice!

"Twelve-digit nuclear explosion!"

"China scored the first goal and took the lead!"

In the live broadcast room, barrages of comments are flying!
【Bottle opener Xia Han! 】

[Score the penalty as soon as possible! Number of successful penalty kicks +1! ]

[So cool! Divine beast! Graduation! ]

[Leading by one goal is not stable, let’s score more goals! 】

Courtside.

Gao Hongbo excitedly pumped his fists and celebrated with the coaching staff behind him.

"It's a pipe dream to think that we can score a goal through the organization and penetration on the ground!"

"You still have to cross the ball from the wing!"

"You can create more free kicks, corner kicks and other set-piece opportunities, and pass the ball directly to the goalkeeper. Qatar can't stand it!"

"Create more one-on-one opportunities for Xia Han!"

Qatar team's naturalized Portuguese central defender Pedro was turned into a sieve by Xia Han in this game!

The other side.

Carreño, who was already standing in the command area, sighed.

What can be done?
Facing a world-class single-point blasting player!
Apart from fouls, what else can stop his advancement!
Xia Han quickly did a backflip!

He quickly ran to the corner flag area and raised his right fist!
Leading to cheers from the stands!

Teammates quickly ran over and joined in the celebration!

The game restarted in the middle circle.

The Qatari players were obviously still immersed in the depression after losing the ball.

Twenty-eighth minute of the game.

Jiang Ning's shot from the right side of the penalty area!
Being held firmly by Amin!
Amin observed the situation on the field, quickly stood up and kicked the ball out!
The football flies towards the center circle!

Huang Bowen estimated in his mind where the football would land, and blocked Maksood's position with accurate prediction!

The chest stopped the ball first and was about to send it forward!
A sudden pain came from my hind foot!

The whole person fell on the grass in pain!
Maqsood behind him raised his hands with an innocent look, indicating that it was not him.

Beep!
The referee blew the whistle immediately!

He rushed to Maqsood and took out a yellow card!
"Yellow card!"

"It's undoubtedly a foul!"

"From the slow-motion replay, Maqsood's foul was very covert and very bad!"

"Foul for stamping!"

"I hope Huang Bowen wasn't hurt!"

Huang Bowen, who had recovered, sat on the grass and waved to his anxious teammates, indicating that he was fine!
"Huaguo gets a free kick opportunity!"

"Hao Junmin kicked the ball directly to Wu Lei's feet on the left!"

"Passing, oh, what a pity!"

"Musa cleared the ball out of bounds in time!"

Two minutes later.

Meshaal's breakthrough caused Zhang Xizhe to foul!

Qatar gets a free kick 33 meters away from the goal!

“This free kick is in a great location!”

"Qatar may choose to shoot directly!"

"Hatim and Tabata are standing in front of the penalty spot. China should also be careful of the opponent's tactical coordination!"

boom!
As soon as the whistle sounded, Tabata kicked the football hard!

The football flew straight into the goal like an arrow!

Zeng Cheng's figure looked very relaxed in the air as he flew to save the ball!

"Wow!"

"Tabata's shot was very threatening!"

“Finally it hit the crossbar and flew into the stands!”

"A rising shot!"

The 35th minute of the game.

"Qatar is gradually getting into the game!"

"From the technical statistics of half an hour, it can be seen that Qatar's ball possession rate is slowly increasing!"

"Qatar's attack from the right!"

"Martin's ball-carrying advance!"

"He changed direction and killed Ren Hang alive and headed towards the baseline!"

"A cross from the bottom!"

The football took off from the ground and flew into China's penalty area!

"Danger!"

"Meshar jumped up one step ahead of Zhang Linpeng!"

"A header to get the ball in the goal!"

"It's too high!"

"Zhang Linpeng's interference is very effective!"

"We need to adjust our form as soon as possible. After scoring the goal, the midfield trio made a lot of mistakes!"

Compared with Qatar's defensive pressure, China's backcourt positional defense is slightly insufficient!

But the fans are not worried, as China's No. 9 standing in the frontcourt gives the fans endless sense of security and confidence.

The game time is flowing every second.

The game was in the 39th minute.

Facing Ren Hang's defense, Martin wants to use the same trick again!

At the moment of changing direction!

Ren Hang pressed forward and kicked the ball directly to the front!

The cheers from the stands suddenly increased in strength!
"Ren Hang defended very well!"

"Send the ball to Zhang Xizhe who is waiting for the ball!"

"The former Wolfsburg midfielder made a surgical through ball!"

"Excellent way to find the inserted Huang Bowen!"

"Huang Bowen made some adjustments!"

"Send a long pass!"

With a bang, the football flew from the left to the right!
Zhao Mingjian took the ball steadily and pushed it forward gently, taking advantage of the moment when Muftah came up!

Just kick the ball and pass it!

"Zhao Mingjian made a cross from the right!"

"That's a bit too much force!"

Xia Han jumped up hard in the middle, but failed to touch the football!

Wu Lei at the back point slowly moved back, trying to stop the ball with his chest and volley it!

But suddenly he felt a force coming from his back. It was Musa who was secretly pushing against Wu Lei!

Musa's interference caused Wu Lei to make a mistake in stopping the ball!

"oops!"

"Wu Lei made a mistake in stopping the ball!"

"This time the stop is too big, Amin can just hug it!"

"Eh? What happened to Amin?!"

Amid the commentator's surprised words, Qatar's goalkeeper Amin stood there in a daze, unable to catch the ball in the first place!

When football is within reach!
Amin suddenly woke up from his dream and blocked the ball with his foot!
As luck would have it, the football bounced back to Wu Lei's feet!
Looking at Amin who just made a serious mistake!

Wu Lei did not shoot directly, but instead lifted the ball to the middle!
Xia Han ambushed behind Pedro!

Kill quietly!
Jump high and head the ball!
Send the ball directly into the goal!

2-0! ! !

"Pretty!"

"The goal went in!"

"In the 40th minute of the game, Xia Han scored twice!" "It's true: it came like thunder and ended like the clear light of the sea!"

"Relying on ghostly movement! Xia Han rushed out from behind Pedro, pressed down on the top, and headed the ball directly into the goal!"

“A calm pass from Wu Lei!”

"The tacit cooperation between the two extended the lead to two goals!"

"With the constant cheers from the home fans, China's offensive is unstoppable!"

In the live broadcast room, the comments were noisy.

[This Qatari goalkeeper can enter an electronics factory! Too funny! How could he think about life on the goal line at the critical moment of the Chinese national football team's attack? If Wu Lei hadn't reacted in time at the end, he could have scored a goal by stopping the ball! ]

【Wu Lei's crucial lob pass was very calm. When the ball bounced back, he did not shoot aimlessly. Instead, he keenly sensed Xia Han's intention and sent a lob pass to the top of the mountain in seconds! Wu Lei and Xia Han have a perfect understanding! It's like they have a telepathic connection! 】

[A few minutes ago, Xia Han headed the ball to Wu Lei at the back post, but it was a pity that Lei's shot was just a hair's breadth away! ]

[He scored twice! It was not difficult at all! Why did this Portuguese central defender who was naturalized in Qatar look so stupid? He was blasted into pieces by Xia Han before the end of the first half! ]

Courtside.

Gao Hongbo was all smiles and his hands kept clapping.

"awesome!"

The other side.

Carreño frowned and sighed helplessly.

"Destroy it, I'm tired..."

The football hit the goal with great force!

Xia Han did not celebrate alone!

But celebrate with Wu Lei!
A moment later, all the teammates rushed over!

"Top 12, here we come!"

Advance to the top 18 and enter the final round of the th Russia World Cup!
It will no longer be a dream!

All the Chinese players were very excited.

"Don't be too relaxed, don't open the champagne at halftime, stay calm!"

After the celebration, Zhang Linpeng looked at everyone and spoke loudly.

not far away.

Amin sat on the grass with his forehead against the goalpost, feeling very discouraged.

Musa and Muftah looked at the Chinese players with ferocity in their eyes.

The fourth official raised the clock at the halfway line to indicate injury time.

three minutes!
Qatar's fouls made the game not smooth.

The third minute of injury time.

Qatar's offensive!
"This should be the last attack of the first half!"

"Smooth attack!"

"Hatim's through ball!"

"Maqsood is in an open position!"

"More than thirty meters away from the goal!"

"Maqsood took a long shot!"

Before Feng Xiaoting rushed to steal the ball, Maqsood made a decisive and powerful shot!

The football rushed past Feng Xiaoting!
Roaring and crashing into the Chinese team's goal!

Zeng Cheng on the goal line successfully predicted Maksood's shooting angle!
He made a flying save!

Hit the ball directly out of the baseline!

"Zeng Cheng! Great save!"

"Maqsood's long-range shot poses a certain threat!"

"Accompanied by a long shot being saved!"

"The referee from Malaysia blew the whistle to end the first half!"

"The score at halftime was 2-0!!!"

"Xia Han scored twice, and China is in the driver's seat!"

"Qatar only has forty-five minutes left!"

In China's locker room.

Gao Hongbo and members of the coaching staff quickly reviewed the tactical details of the first half of the game on the tactical blackboard.

"With only forty-five minutes left, we can advance to the top twelve!"

"Fans don't have to count points for us anymore. We can now advance to the quarterfinals as the second-best team in the group!"

"They have to score three goals to drag us down! The opponent's morale is low now, so we should still implement the strategy of passing the ball from the wing in the second half! Hit the ball hard and bombard the Qatari defense that is shattered!"

"Of course, it's wrong to open champagne at halftime! I hope you can play steadily and win the game in the second half!"

"All you have to do now is believe in yourself!"

"Take a good rest now and prepare for the second half of the game!"

Gao Hongbo clapped his hands and spoke loudly!

On the other side, in Qatar's locker room.

Carreño pulled the tactical board over and said to the players:
"You didn't do well enough in the first half. If China could seize the opportunity, we might have conceded four or five goals in the first half!"

"Pedro, today is your first appearance for the national team. I know you are a little nervous, but in the second half I only ask of you one thing: follow the opponent's No. 9 closely! No matter where the ball is, you just have to follow him closely!"

"Moussa and Muftah, don't be so reckless. You should attack appropriately and at the right time. Don't attack recklessly and randomly!"

"..."

Carreño gave each player detailed and targeted arrangements.

The fifteen-minute halftime break ended quickly!
The referee team led the players from both teams back to the green field!

The Saint Suzaku Stadium was once again filled with cheers as loud as a landslide and tsunami!
With a 2-0 lead, the fans’ cheers became louder and louder!

The surrounding stands gathered into a red ocean, with countless Dragon Team flags flying in the wind!

"Good evening, audience friends, welcome back!"

"Now live for you is the final round of the 2018 Russia Asia Qualifiers group stage!"

"China is playing in the second half of the match against Qatar at the St. Suzaku Stadium!"

"At present, China, playing at home, is extremely brave and is leading Qatar by two goals in the first half!"

"The game is about to continue!"

"Neither team made any substitutions!"

Beep!
Accompanied by the referee's whistle!
The second half of the game officially begins!
The pressure from both sides in the midfield and frontcourt was very intense!
Snapped!
Xia Han suddenly shot a cold arrow!
A concealed ground-level slash skimming across the grass!

Straight to the bottom left corner of the goal!
Fortunately, Amin was concentrating and reacted quickly to block the ball out of the baseline!

"After entering the second half, the Chinese team quickly got the fifth corner kick opportunity of the game!"

"Hao Junmin is still responsible for taking the corner kick!"

"Zhang Xizhe ran towards the corner flag area, attracting Moussa to follow up!"

"Want to take a tactical corner kick?"

"Hao Junmin! Pass the ball directly into the penalty area!"

There was a melee in Qatar's penalty area!
Xia Han relied on his keen sense of smell to seize the first landing point!

But Pedro kept sticking to Xia Han, making it impossible for Xia Han to head the ball well!
Thoughts are racing in a flash!
Xia Han jumped up one step ahead of Pedro, and instead of attacking the goal, he passed the ball to the back post!

Jiang Ning raised his foot at the back point, drew his bow and drew his arrow!

Just as he was about to shoot, Muftah behind him slammed into Jiang Ning hard!

Jiang Ning was knocked to the ground directly, and the football passed the back point and slowly rolled out of bounds!
"Um?!"

"Muftah clearly hit someone! But the referee ignored it!"

The St. Suzaku Stadium was instantly filled with boos!
Jiang Ning got up from the ground and complained to the referee in dissatisfaction.

Before Muftah went to kick the ball out of bounds, he deliberately pushed Jiang Ning hard with his hand!
Jiang Ning could no longer suppress the anger in his eyes and pushed Muftah hard!
Seeing this, Muftah screamed and fell to the grass!
The referee immediately ran to Jiang Ning and showed him a yellow card!
This action immediately aroused dissatisfaction among Chinese players!

"The referee Aminul from Malaysia!"

“Isn’t this judgment too biased?”

“Isn’t this too blatant?”

"Muftah hit and pushed someone first, but he didn't even get a yellow card or a warning!"

"What's the reason? What's the logic?"

Faced with constant complaints from Chinese players.

Aminul ignored it and even warned:
"If you keep making noise like this, I'll give each of you a yellow card!"
