Chapter 49 Lies

Dong Fangzhuo sat quietly on the bench, watching the huge and unfamiliar Kuwait Park Stadium without any disturbance.

After coming to the national team for three days, he really doesn't have any specific memories of this game, he just remembers the final score of the game and the story that happened later.

He completely forgot about the process of this game, he didn't even remember that Sun Jihai sitting next to him was sitting on the bench instead of starting to fight.

He glanced at Sun Jihai.

Sun Jihai seemed a little absent-minded?

Sun Jihai's eyes were a little erratic. Although he kept looking at the court, he didn't blink. What does this mean?

If you are really watching the ball, then your eyes and head will definitely follow the flight path of the ball at any time, but the unblinking now only shows that his mind is not on the court.

But in the heart!

What are you doing in your heart? Naturally, I have an idea.

Sun Jihai did not expect that he came to Kuwait from England all the way, and he was sitting on the bench watching the drinking fountains!

He should become the main force and fight for the Chinese team!

But Alihan put him on the bench for the sake of tacit cooperation and a more balanced offense and defense.

Even in the position of right back, is Wei Xin really more suitable than himself?

No,

It's just that Alihan's thinking is too narrow!

Anyway, Sun Jihai was very unhappy.

On the contrary, Dong Fangzhuo is very open-minded. Although he is only 19 years old now, his real age mentality is 34 years old! And Sun Jihai is only 27 years old.

So the mood of the two people is exactly the opposite now. Sun Jihai wanted to fight but was made very unhappy by Ali Han, while Dong Fangzhuo was always thinking positively about the problem.

Alihan actually found Dong Fangzhuo for a private talk early on, thinking that he played better in the second half and was more threatening to the opponent, and he also cited the example of him playing at Manchester United.

But Alihan never talked to Sun Jihai alone!

Sure enough, different players are treated differently...

Perhaps it was because neither side could afford to lose, and both sides invested very limited troops on the offensive end. At the beginning, both sides deliberately stopped kicking, and neither had the intention of actively attacking, and the advancing speed was quite slow.

This made Dong Fangzhuo look a little uncomfortable.

this rhythm,

Are you playing football?

Then, in a trance, he patted his head.

Isn't the Chinese team's rhythm like this before? It was because I had played in the Premier League for so long that I almost forgot the rhythm of the Asian football team...

He also participated in the Asian Cup in the middle of the year, but at that time, he only had five minutes to play in each game.

Can you, kick the tempo a little faster?

He even hoped that his teammates in the national team could play faster.

If both Li Ming and Zheng Zhi are on the field...

He also has his hypothetical moments.

This national team is not the strongest national team, because the midfielder lacks Li Ming, and the defender lacks the core Zheng Zhi!

Li Ming's injury was not fully healed, so Alihan didn't let Li Ming play, and Zheng Zhi was suspended because of a red card...

In Dong Fangzhuo's view, the Chinese team is the strongest only when Li Ming and Zheng Zhi are on the court at the same time.

Now that Li Ming and Zheng Zhi are not here, the Chinese team is a little quiet.

Shao Jiayi, who has high hopes, has not been able to bring more vitality to the Chinese team in the position of the midfielder...

It was not until the 8th minute that the Chinese team launched a high-quality attack. After Yang Pu intercepted the ball from the left side, he quickly made a pass. Xu Yunlong returned the ball in front of the penalty area. Li Jinyu made a strong low shot and was saved by the Kuwaiti goalkeeper.

This is actually the first truly threatening shot of the Chinese team!

Dong Fangzhuo scratched his head,

I don't know what to say.

The game was really boring!

Then……

The two sides seem to have agreed a long time ago, if you don't attack, I won't attack, if you don't threaten me, I won't threaten you...

For more than half an hour, the two sides never took a shot again.

Dong Fangzhuo finally deeply understood the feelings of Chinese fans back then.

What It's Like To Not Cum For Ninety Minutes!

How uncomfortable!

Even if you don't shoot, you don't have a chance to shoot!

If you don't shoot again, are you waiting for Kuwait to score?

He remembered that Kuwait was going to score.

Then, the game finally came to stoppage time.

Kuwait won consecutive corner kicks!

Boom!

Li Weifeng headed the ball out!

Another corner kick!

The ball is sent out again.

This time it was Zhang Yaokun's turn to head the ball, but it was still a corner kick!

Three corner kicks in a row!

mmp, shouldn't you score a goal at this last moment?

Dong Fangzhuo actually stood up.

There was an inexplicable panic in my heart.

Boom——

Shao Jiayi leaped high and pushed the ball forward!

No!

Kuwait have yet to score!

so close……

Kuwait failed to form an attack in three corner kick opportunities, and the two sides ended the game 0-0 in the first half.

There is nothing more painful than knowing the score in advance.

A draw is acceptable for the Chinese team, at least in Arihan's view.

In the locker room, Alihan kept emphasizing defense, defense, and defense. Don't take it lightly, especially like at the end of the first half, you shouldn't give your opponent three consecutive corner kicks.

Can't he just emphasize offense?

Dong Fangzhuo was a little disappointed.

This is a game of life and death. Can you really win just by thinking about how to defend?

Why not be able to think of a way in the offense?

For example, can the midfielder invest more troops and have a stronger sense of going forward?

Dong Fangzhuo is no longer the same Dong Fangzhuo he was back then. He suddenly discovered that Ali Han didn't put him in the starting lineup not because he didn't cooperate well with other teammates.

Rather, Alihan never thought that he must win at home in Kuwait from the very beginning.

What a lie!

Because Alihan thought that as long as he got one point, he would be satisfied. One point could crush Kuwait, and then easily beat HK in the final round. Wouldn't he be able to enter the Asian top ten of the World Preliminaries?

This is wishful thinking!

Oh shit,

Just because every time I thought that a tie would allow me to qualify, but it turned out to be a tragedy in the end!

Dong Fangzhuo thought about it, and finally felt a little angry in his heart!

This kind of anger actually made him anxious to play. He really hoped Alihan would let him warm up on the sidelines.

But,

No……

Then,

The game has just begun!

In the 46th minute,

Sun Xiang's pass was blocked, and the Kuwait team quickly launched a counterattack. After a breakthrough from the right, Bashar fell to the ground near the small penalty area and returned with a header. A striker named Juma scored a goal.

Kuwait leads 1:0...
