1180 Psychological games
The Chinese team successfully advanced to the quarterfinals of the Asian Cup, only looking at the scores along the way. Except for the South Korean team lost 0:2, the Chinese team scored 11 goals in the other three games, and at the same time, they scored zero goals in three games, and their performance was considered strong.
But as Situ Yunbing said, these games did not bring tests to the Chinese team.
In other matches in the round of 16, Vietnam staged a goal battle with Jordan 5:3.
Iran defeated Oman 2:0 as expected.
Japan defeated the opponent 1:0 in a strong dialogue between Saudi Arabia.
Australia also defeated Uzbekistan 4:2 in a strong dialogue.
South Korea beat Bahrain with a 2-1 goal, but its performance is still not strong.
Qatar defeated his opponent 1-0 in the West Asian civil war between Qatar and Iraq. So far, Qatar has won all four games, and has terrifyingly scored his opponents in four consecutive games!
Situ Yunbing led the team back to Abu Dhabi to rest. Their next game will be played at the Mohamed Bin Sayed Stadium. They have played at that stadium before, so they are relatively familiar with it.
The enthusiasm of fans across the country is rising, paying attention to the Chinese team's Asian Cup journey, especially when the real test comes, everyone hopes to see the true performance of the Chinese team's strong dialogue in the competition.
At the pre-match press conference, Iranian coach Queros expressed high respect to Situ Yunbing.
"When I saw an Asian coach creating many fabulous achievements in European football and winning honors that coaches around the world envied, I think he did something that only God can do. This is not only amazing, it is difficult to copy and surpass. Maybe I will never see a coach creating such achievements in my life.
Just like when Guardiola retired, maybe he could win four, five, or more Champions League titles, but I don't think he could lead a team to dominate the local league for three consecutive years and dominate European football at the same time!
Situ Yunbing is indeed a great coach. When he returned to Asia to coach the Chinese team, I had a premonition that he would bring different changes to the Chinese team. In fact, my premonition was correct.
The Chinese team is now a very strong team. I have studied their past three months and this Asian Cup. They have a very obvious characteristic, that is, they are very calm when facing the game, and they can hardly see that they have any panic. We must be vigilant for such opponents!"
Situ Yunbing also praised Queros at the pre-match press conference.
"Now, there are only a handful of coaches in football that can coach a team for a long time. I have only been coaching Liverpool for six years, but Queiros has been rooted in Iran for longer than I have coached Liverpool. He is a respectable coach. The progress of Iranian football in the past eight years is inseparable from the great contributions made by Queiros. We should pay tribute to such a coach!"
When the reporter asked Situ Yunbing that the Iranian team and the Chinese team were similar in style, would the game lack change and passion?
Situ Yunbing smiled and said, "I'm afraid yes, I'm going to hide it from you. I'm ready to play extra time with the Iran team and play a penalty shootout!
Iran has not lost a single goal in the past four Asian Cups. They are a team with very tough defense. I think it is probably difficult for us to break through Iran's defense through regular play, but the later the game will be more beneficial to us. We are not afraid of playing extra time or playing penalty shootouts!"
Situ Yunbing's words surprised the reporters at the scene, including reporters from the Chinese media.
In Situ Yunbing's coaching career, he has never led the team to play overtime or penalty shootouts.
So I was still surprised by Situ Yunbing's remarks.
After the pre-match press conference, Situ Yunbing returned to the hotel to rest.
During the Asian Cup, he spent at least an hour every night to chat with Siglid and two children, and sometimes he could tell stories to Situ Jin through video calls until he was coaxed to sleep.
The next day, major Asian media were promoting the news that the Chinese team was ready to play overtime and penalty shootouts with the Iran team.
This is what Situ Yunbing said in person.
No doubts.
As for whether Queros believes it or not, no one knows.
At night, the Mohamed Bin Sayed Stadium was still not full, but Chinese fans still occupied half of the stands!
With a huge cheer, the starters of the two teams walked into the stadium.
Queros, who is already an old coach, looks solemn when he sees the starting lineup of the Chinese team.
He is not afraid that the Chinese team will use all their strength to deal with the Iranian team, but the Chinese team does not!
This made Queros unable to guess what the Chinese team is selling!
This Portuguese coach who once assisted Ferguson would never underestimate Situ Yunbing. He is more than 99% of Asian coaches know how difficult it is to build a prosperous and glorious dynasty like Situ Yunbing in European football!
One success can be said to be accidental, two times? Three times?
Situ Yun’s troops must have a profound intention to deploy troops.
"CCTV, CCTV, welcome everyone to watch the quarter-finals of the 2019 UAE Asian Cup. Today we will broadcast the match between China and Iran at the Mohamed Bin Sayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi!
In the last round of knockout matches, the Chinese team beat Thailand 4-0 and advanced to the quarterfinals, while the Iran team also beat Oman 2-0 easily. Moreover, the Iran team won 3 wins, 1 draw and 0 conceded goals in four Asian Cups!
It can be said that they are stronger than the Chinese team in terms of strength and condition!
As early as after defeating the Thai team, Situ Yunbing said that this would be an extremely difficult and challenging game!
Today, the starting lineup of the Chinese team is somewhat unexpected.
Goalkeeper: Shen Jingjie.
Defenders: Zhang Linpeng, Bai Yuanfan, Cheng Renjun, Li Xuepeng.
Midfielder: Zhang Zhibang, Zhao Fenghua, Huang Bozhou.
Forwards: Huang Zichang, Wu Lei, Chen Binbin.
Supernova Luo Cheng and Luo Xin in this Asian Cup unexpectedly sat on the bench, with Huang Zichang and Chen Binbin starting!
This change must have been something that no one expected before the game. In the last game against Thailand, Luo Cheng and Luo Xin were replaced in the first half to rest.
Unexpectedly, these two people did not start today!
Iran started 541 today.
Goalkeeper: Belan Wander.
Defenders: Hayssafi, Mohamed, Prariganji, Kanani, Rezayan.
Midfielders: Yipu Rashimi, Taremi, Jahanbahsh, Dejaga.
Forward: Azmon.
The Iranian team basically has the strongest lineup!
Now I believe that all Chinese fans have a question in their hearts, why did the Chinese team not compete with Luo Cheng and Luo Xin!
If this is caused by Situ Yunbing's active change of tactics and starting lineup, then we can look forward to the changes in the Chinese team in the game. However, if there are some passive factors that lead to Luo Cheng and Luo Xin being unable to play, such as the two of them being physically uncomfortable and similar reasons, then the Chinese team's strength will definitely be greatly reduced in this game!
No matter what, let’s look forward to the trend of the game now!”
Situ Yunbing stood on the sidelines with his expression of an ancient well.
I didn't play Luo Cheng and Luo Xin today because he was really ready to play overtime and wanted to keep the ace in the back.
But it cannot completely lose the ability to create threats on the Chinese team's front line, so Wu Lei still starts.
With the referee's whistle, the game officially started.
The Chinese team took the lead in kicking off the ball, and the team was the first to pass the ball in the backcourt continuously. The Iranian team, which focuses on defense, will not press frantically in the frontcourt, but will also harass some.
In the third minute of the game, the Chinese team attacked the frontcourt. Huang Zichang received a pass from Huang Bozhou after running forward and then passed the ball to Wu Lei's feet.
Seeing that the Iranian team had a tight defense, Wu Lei passed the ball back to Zhao Fenghua.
The Iranian team's defense is impeccable, and intuitively, it is impossible to find a more relaxed line to attack, so Zhao Fenghua knocked the ball back to the backcourt.
The Chinese team controlled the ball slowly and was not in a hurry at all. Anyway, they were stimulating their condition by passing the ball back and forth. However, the Iranian generals were a little depressed. They could not feel the murderous aura of the Chinese team!
But if they want to attack, if the Chinese team does not attack, they will not be able to obtain the ball. Too proactive and active defense against the robbery is not their style, so they fall into a contradiction.
Queros was as heavy as water on the sidelines. He guessed that Situ Yunbing placed Luo Cheng and Luo Xin on the bench in order to send these two people to the field to strengthen the offense at the right time.
Before that, the Chinese team seemed to be planning to spend time on delaying!
In Queiros' eyes, the overall strength of the Iran team is not weaker than that of the Chinese team. If the timeline is extended, the overall record and performance of the Iran team in Asia will be more stable and outstanding than that of the Chinese team!
Then the question arises.
Iran is willing to play overtime with the Chinese team and play a penalty shootout?
Once the game enters overtime, this requires even higher requirements for the coach's ability to command on the spot!
Queros believes that he is not as good as Situ Yunbing in this regard, so he is unwilling to play overtime.
And if you enter the penalty shootout stage, the outcome of the game is no different from roulette!
Queiroz is also unwilling to hand over his fate to the penalty shootout!
But Queiroz may not have enough courage to allow the Iranian team to oppress the Chinese team from the beginning to attack.
The Iranian team plays defensive counterattacks, and the same is true for the Chinese team.
Whoever takes action first will fall into a passive state!
Situ Yunbing was calm and composed. He had been honing the Chinese team's patience in defensive counterattacks, and today he had a place to use his skills.
Let’s see if the Iranian team can work as a foreign worker as the Chinese team!
Regardless of whether there will be any consumption, Situ Yunbing put the decisive battle moment within 30-35 minutes of the game today!
Chapter completed!
