At 20 o'clock in the evening of October 15th, at Qingdao Youth Football Stadium, the national football team hosted Indonesia and ushered in the most critical game. Compared with the other three teams, the national football team does not have an absolute hope of scoring points, but in the face of teams of equal strength, such as Indonesia and Bahrain, it is still necessary to strive for more points. Ivan sent a 442 formation, Baihelam partnered with Zhang Yuning as a double striker, and Wu Lei and Alan who returned to the team soon after injury were on standby. Obviously, if you have no choice, you will not rashly use Wu Lei.
In this campaign, the national football team relied on the continuous goals of Baihelamu and Zhang Yuning to achieve a 2-0 lead, and the assists were all defenders. Despite leading Indonesia by two goals at half-time, the situation on the field was not dominant. In terms of possession, the national football team only had 26% possession, 3 shots on target, and scored 2 goals very efficiently. In the first half, the national football team withstood the pressure and scored a goal. Zhang Yuning's excited celebration after breaking the goal can also be called a microcosm, for a long time, the pressure on the national team is too great.
In the 86th minute of the second half, the national football team still conceded a goal! Haye pushes into the net to score and it makes it 1-2! The national football player made a mistake in defense and gave the opponent a chance. However, in the next 9 minutes of stoppage time, the national football team did not make a mistake, but still stabilized the rhythm and won the victory. 2-1 is enough for the national football team to get the first win, score 3 points, and see the hope of qualifying.
The national football team won 2-1 Indonesia and won the first victory in the round of 18! Baihelam and Zhang Yuning scored, and Ivan gave strength. Indeed, Ivan's performance in this battle is still commendable.
According to the news after the game, captain Wang Dalei was elected the best player of the national football team vs Indonesia! Ivan didn't look at the wrong person, Wang Dalei justified himself.
Ivan was quite happy after the game, commented on the game, thanked everyone for their efforts, and carried out the tactical requirements. The 100 minutes of the game were all focused and the fans were our 12th man, creating a great atmosphere. Thanks to the Qingdao organizers, thanks to the Football Association and other leaders for their trust.
It can be seen that Ivan still has a high emotional intelligence, thanks to the support behind him, and also thanks to the fans for cheering. Obviously, Ivan is also looking for more trust and more opportunities to coach the game.
As for the opponents, Ivan said: Indonesia are very aggressive, but our defensive counter-attack is solid and does not give the opponent too many opportunities for athletic battles. Their goal came from a mistake in our clearance and we won hard.
