At 8:00 p.m. on July 17, the workers' stadium was brightly lit, where the opening match of the Asian Cup between China and Bahrain will take place.
At the beginning of the match, Vuong Phong sent his "condolences" to the small West Asian country with a powerful long shot. China leads 1:0!
Bahrain players were stunned. They haven't fully entered the state yet. After kicking the ball, shouldn't they retreat to the backfield to kick continuously and then slowly organize an attack? Seeing their state, Vuong Phong firmly wanted the ball to return to the field after the kick-off, walked to the front of the 30m penalty area, suddenly shot a cold arrow, and suddenly scored.
After taking the lead, Wang Feng often played for Li Jinhe and Li Yi in the front line, but unfortunately sometimes they were too slow to keep up, and sometimes their movements were distorted under the interference of the players. defense, and their shots had no chance. fabricate. A threat .
In general, the Chinese team was both leading and holding the ball, so the players were relatively comfortable. Before the first half ended, Li Yi finally seized the opportunity from Vuong Phong's pass to help the home team extend the score.
The situation in the second half of the match changed again. Because the strategy that head coach Alihan always emphasized was to press high and partially control the pass, the physical condition of some players seriously deteriorated. Cross the counter to recover the goal.
The two teams before and after the goal are completely different. Vuong Phong deeply felt that the psychology of the players had changed significantly. Reversal hopes to maintain the advantage. Vuong Phong could not recover the ball for a long time, Bahrain gradually gave up, creating more opportunities to attack, hoping to equalize.
This cannot continue like this! So, Wang Feng retreated deeper into his 30m area to ask for the ball. Ton Tuong hesitated a bit, but still passed the ball to him.
Then he dribbled the ball slowly to the midfield line. Bahrain may still be thinking about the next attack, so they only sent two midfielders to defend. Control almost meant letting Vuong Phong easily advance to the front line.
After that, there was nothing more to say, Vuong Phong suddenly accelerated, took a long step and dribbled the ball to the right, immediately eliminating a defender. The other person was very shocked when he saw this scene and rushed to protect him, but was fooled by the fake lowering of his shoulders.
After directly entering the penalty area, he volleyed with his right foot, scoring against Bahrain, score 3:1!
This goal raised the players' morale greatly. The situation of leading by one goal is completely different from the situation of leading by two goals, they realize that on the field there is Vuong Phong to rely on!
In the final stages of the match, Wang Feng broke through from the right wing and passed into the penalty area. Li Jinyu immediately took position and blocked the ball in the penalty area. The Chinese team defeated Bahrain 4-1 and got off to a good start.
…
A big victory made the fans happy, but head coach Arihan was still not satisfied, especially with the only goal conceded and the state of the second half.
For this reason, Wang Feng took the time to chat with the Dutchman. He spoke rhetorically that the high position pressing strategy is very advanced, but whether the players understand it and whether their physical strength and skills can keep up is a big problem. However, each coach has its own technical and tactical characteristics. Alihan discussed with his technical team and felt that tactical time could be allocated appropriately based on physical condition.
In the second match against Indonesia, the weakest team in the group, the high press strategy worked very well, making it almost impossible for the opponent to leave their own half of the field.
In the end, China won 5-0. Wang Feng contributed a pass and a shot and was substituted early. .....
After winning two consecutive matches, they qualified ahead of schedule. In round 3, they met Qatar to compete for first place in the group. Immediately after the opening, Vuong Phong launched another counterattack. He dribbled the ball into the penalty area and was blocked by the opposing defender. The referee decided to give a yellow card. The moment Vuong Phong fell to the ground, the fans in the stands and the coaching staff on the sidelines were extremely scared. They were afraid he was injured, but he quickly stood up and waved to signal that he was okay.
Afterwards, Wang Feng personally took the penalty kick, scoring the first goal for the Chinese team!
Carta then continued to take a brutally defensive stance towards Wang Feng, but this level of confrontation was child's play compared to Serie A. What's more funny is that they didn't seem to understand the deterrent power of the shot. Throwing the ball by Wang Feng in the front yard. , or not at all. Do not believe.
Therefore, Qatar gave the Chinese team 5 set situations on the field, and Wang Feng did not disappoint by hitting 2 of them.
Hat-trick, this is the first time Vuong Phong has scored a hat-trick thanks to free throws!
But Alihan on the sidelines was very worried, because Vuong Phong always fell backwards to the ground. After confirming the advantage, he quickly took his place.
The score of 3:0 was maintained until the end of the match, the Chinese team won all 3 games and advanced to the quarterfinals!
.....
In the eight or four knockout rounds, China played against Iraq. This is also a traditional West Asian team. Their physical strength and strength are much better than normal national players, but their soccer skills are not as good. Iran, Saudi Arabia and other powers. domestic teams. Western Asia, relying only on a period of hard work. Stopping Wang Feng with technology is an impossible task for Iraq's defense, so they can only choose unfair tactics like Qatar. They did not believe that Vuong Phong could beat them to death with a free kick.
I'm sorry, but it's really okay. Of the 6 free kicks, he made a mistake and kicked the ball heavily into the goal, which once again made the Iraqis understand what the world's top scorer is.
In the second half, he took a long-range free kick, the ball followed a perfect arc in the air ~www.mtlnovel.com~ and hit Li Jinyu's head hard, refracting into the net. 3:00! After scoring, Li Jin was dizzy, while Li Yi smiled and rubbed his head: "When did you practice such a powerful header? It's strong and the angle is unpredictable."
Really, have I trained such a strong head? Although being hit in the head was very painful, Ly Cam Ngoc reacted very excitedly.
Vuong Phong smiled without saying a word. This was his first attempt. Because his teammates' catching and shooting skills were still improving, Vuong Phong had the idea to see if he could use the principle of jet refraction. Are not.
The last goal was because he estimated the angle and force of the kick, after hitting Li Jinyu's head and bouncing into the goal. It looks like a head, but in reality Ly Cam Ngu did not use any strength at all. If you reach the top, you will definitely not be able to enter.
Of course, this kind of practice is too random, even Vuong Phong is not sure whether he can control it so well each time.
At the last moment of the match, Iraq relied on its tenacious spirit to regain the goal, but in the end it could not change the fate of being eliminated, the Chinese team won the right to enter the semi-finals!
Three group stage matches and one knockout match. To be honest, the overall strength of the Chinese team is stronger than those teams. Having home field advantage is no problem, but the attacker cannot score. If the opponent counterattacks and scores a goal, it will be very good. Perhaps psychology directly explodes and collapses.
The appearance of Vuong Phong only compensates for the shortcomings. His fierce attack firepower and diverse attack methods caused headaches for the opposing defense, combined with unstoppable free kicks and unstoppable fouls, so in the end it was like cutting a melon and cutting vegetables. Win and advance easily. Signature
