Feng Xiaoting talked about tears about Iran's mistakes: I still want to control the ball, and I may not have enough ability to think too much at that time
Live broadcast on January 29th Tencent News's latest interview program "Because of the Blowing of the Asian Cup", former national football captain Feng Xiaoting talked about the outrageous mistake of losing to Iran in the 1/4 finals of the 2019 Asian Cup, and publicly revealed his psychological activities at that time for the first time.
Feng Xiaoting said that when he went to see the ball, he would feel "what is this kicking", but at that time, his original intention was "still to control the ball", but in a short period of time, he needed to make many judgments on decisions such as one point or two points and return passes, and he would definitely deal with it decisively if he did it again.
Feng Xiaoting said: As soon as this ball is kicked out, after I observed it, do I want to grab the first point or the second point, normally I want to grab the first point. But I think it's a little bit far, I (decided) to wait until it hits the ground, and it feels a little bit bad, you know it's just after it lands, and the bounce is very high, and then I know there's someone behind me, you know? But I was still thinking about how to kick with my head or my feet, this is the second judgment, the third judgment is to pass back to the goalkeeper or kick to the front, this is the third judgment, because sometimes you don't care if you kick out, in fact, you still want to hold the ball, one foot to the sideline, and it's their ball possession, any time to the second and third judgment, it's already time for you to really run out, and if you go to the fourth to think about it, it's too late.
If you had to do it again now, what would you do?
Feng Xiaoting: A kick out of the sideline is not over, but sometimes the player can't make such a decisive and simple deal at the time, maybe my ability is not up to it, as soon as the ball comes, I kick it out, maybe after so many years we recall this thing, I may make a better choice, the first choice is to head the ball to the opposite partner.
At the end of the conversation, Feng Xiaoting's eyes were red: "I carried too many things back then."
In the 2019 Asian Cup quarterfinals, the national football team lost 0-3 to Iran. In the 18th minute, the national football central defender Feng Xiaoting hesitated to play the ball in the backfield, was tackled by Azmoun, and instigated Iran's first goal.
