Chapter 578 Being Humiliated

"Draw to Iran?"

Dong Fangzhuo was surprised when he heard the news in the QQ group. Damn it, fate always likes to make such jokes. Iran was drawn in the quarter-finals, just like history.

I just don’t know if the outcome of the game will be different.

Iran is very powerful, there is no doubt about it...

"If you win against Iran, you will win the championship." As soon as the draw came out, the media regarded the China-Iran battle as an early final. The aura of reaching the top 16 of the World Cup gives them full confidence in the next game.

Not only were the news media confident, but the players were also very excited.

"Theoretically, Iran is the favorite, but Japan is also the favorite, and they have been eliminated... Now, if we can beat Iran, I believe we can become the champion."

Iran is obviously a very strong opponent. This team has made full use of the U23 principle. In the 20-man roster, there are 8 players born in 1999, most of whom are the main players. China, which is composed of players born after 1985, The National Olympics is facing the fact that the small is fighting the big. But the National Olympics are not afraid of Iran. In the battle against Iran, the National Olympics have three major advantages.

Advantage 1: Know yourself and the enemy

"We recorded the match between Iran and India, and we also have DVDs of previous matches in Iran. So, no doubt, we have enough information about Iran."

Advantage 2: High morale

Core midfielder Chen Tao said: "This is a battle of life and death! We must go all out to fight. In the 2004 Malaysian Asian Youth Championship, we played against them in the first game of the group. Their bodies are very good and their personal skills are also good." It was outstanding, but we relied on tenacious defense to draw with the opponent. But this time, we will not be satisfied with a draw, we must win them."

Advantage three:

Two years undefeated

In the past two years, the Chinese national team has remained undefeated against Iran. In the 2004 Asian Cup, the national team eliminated its opponent through penalty kicks in the semifinals, ending the black history of the national team not defeating the Iranian national team in nearly ten years.

On the day of the game, Dong Fangzhuo and Zhu Heyuan sat in the stands to watch the game. There were not many fans watching the game in the stands, which was simply not as large as the number of spectators at an ordinary domestic game. The sporadic Chinese fans holding Chinese flags looked very eye-catching.

"Xiao Dong, what do you think of this game?"

"I do not know,

I'm a little confused..." Dong Fangzhuo didn't hide his feelings.

In this game, the Chinese team sent out the starting lineup of Wang Dalei; Sun Xiang, Feng Xiaoting, Zhao Ming, Liu Yu; Chen Tao, Zhou Haibin, Zheng Zhi, Shen Longyuan; Zhu Ting, Gao Lin, and on the bench there were Hao Junmin, Zhao Xuri, etc. wait.

Although the Chinese team is younger, with only the over-age Zheng Zhi leading the team, after the game started, the national team has been controlling the situation on the court. However, both sides did not attack many times and played more cautiously.

The Chinese team's two wingers were not very active. Dong Fangzhuo didn't understand why he didn't play Hao Junmin or Mao Jianqing. Anyway, there was only thunder but no raindrops in the first 40 minutes.

In the 40th minute, Dong Fangzhuo's worries finally appeared. The midfielder of the Iranian National Olympics made a penetrating pass, and forward Bohani appeared behind Feng Xiaoting to get a single chance!

Feng Xiaoting and Zhao Ming had no time to chase back, and the Olympic team goalkeeper was forced to attack, but Bohani was very calm, and with a flash of his body, he successfully passed Wang Dalei and formed an attack!

"Idiot!"

"This idiot!"

Dong Fangzhuo scolded him directly.

Because after Bohani formed an empty goal, he did not immediately choose to score the ball. Instead, he brought the ball to the goal line and suddenly stopped. He first looked at Wang Dalei, who had been passed by, and then called his teammates to come forward. His teammates arrived, and Bohani slowly sent the ball into the goal.

"Cao Nima, you idiot!"

Dong Fangzhuo stood up in the stands with an angry look on his face.

The face of Zhu Heyuan next to him was also very ugly. The scene just now was really a shame for him!

It is obvious that the ball can be directly blocked in the penalty area, but the behavior of Iranian player Bohani was too humiliating to the Chinese team.

"Feng Xiaoting, you are all idiots!"

At this time, Dong Fangzhuo, as an ordinary Chinese fan, could not suppress the anger in his heart. If Feng Xiaoting and the others were more upbeat, would they give the other party such a humiliating opportunity? Even if I try to catch up at the end, it won't show up.

Of course, Bohani’s behavior is even more hateful!

If I had known that Ferguson would give him a day off, he would have come to participate in the Asian Games. Alas!

Seeing the Chinese team lagging behind at this time, Dong Fangzhuo really became more and more annoyed the more he thought about it...

"I said, why didn't you put my name in it?"

"Isn't December your busiest time? Besides, I never expected to encounter Iran."

"..."

At the end of half-time, the Chinese team fell behind.

Zhu Heyuan left angrily, probably going to the locker room. Dong Fangzhuo did not follow him and remained in the stands...

In the second half, Krauchen directly risked his life, and Iran began to recover. In the 51st minute, the Chinese team equalized the score with Feng Xiaoting. At the end of the 90 minutes of regular time, China drew with Iran 1:1;

Damn it, why is it the same as the previous plot? No change at all?

Could it be that a game that I don’t participate in can’t change?

He was quite impressed by this game. Now that he thinks about it, it seems that this is really the case. The games he participated in were full of variables, while the games he did not participate in seemed to have not changed at all...

After thinking about this clearly, he sat down a little dejectedly, with no strength left in his body.

In overtime, in the 98th minute of the Chinese team's melee, Zhou Haibin scored a goal. China 2:1 Iran. In the stoppage time of the first half of overtime, Iran's Hasseni scored a goal to equalize the score.

Zhou Haibin still had a chance in the second half. In the 114th minute, the Iranian team's goalkeeper made a serious mistake. His clearance ball passed directly to the feet of Zhou Haibin in the Chinese team's frontcourt. Facing the empty goal, Zhou Haibin shot decisively, but it was a pity that the shot hit the target. It hit the goalpost and bounced back into the goalkeeper's arms.

Luck did not allow the Chinese team to complete the decisive victory in the final stage of the game, and Zhou Haibin failed to become the final hero.

At the end of overtime, China drew with Iran 2:2.

The game had to enter a penalty shootout. As a result, the Chinese team made 7 of 9 free throws, of which Zheng Zhi and Zhao Ming missed, while Iran made 8 of 9 free throws. In the end, Iran defeated China 8:7 in the penalty shootout and advanced to the semi-finals.

"Grass!"

"Remember you guys, I'll hit you every time I see you!"

Dong Fangzhuo cursed and left the court in frustration. He remembered Iran.

As soon as I returned to the hotel, I saw another piece of unfortunate news. Manchester United also had problems in their away game against Middlesbrough. It was 1:1. Rooney also missed a penalty kick in the game. Rooney could have scored twice. speed, but in the end it only helped Manchester United get a draw...

"Ding dong,"

"Ding dong,"

The doorbell rang, and Dong Fangzhuo ignored it because he was really not in the mood at all, but he hesitated for a moment, then got up and walked to open the door...

"why you?"
