At 1:00 a.m. on October 13, the fourth round of the Round of 12 national football team away to Saudi Arabia will kick off, which is a contest between the bottom 2nd and the 2nd in the positive number of Group B. Facing the Saudi team, which has won all three games, if the national football team wants to keep the glimmer of life in the competition for the third place in the group, the only option is to defeat the opponent, even if it seems that this is a difficult task to complete.
In the third round, the national football team relied on the simple and rough tactic of holding high and playing high to kill the ambitious Vietnamese team 3-2, continuing to maintain the record of total victory over this close neighbor in the official game. After the game, the Vietnamese players who were killed in tears burst into tears, because this way of losing is too familiar, and their predecessors fell under the bombardment of the Chinese team's head ball again and again, at that time, a Su Maozhen who ranked in the national football forward's ranking could cut melons and cut vegetables for them.
In fact, not only Southeast Asian teams such as Vietnam, but also The Arab teams in West Asia represented by Saudi Arabia are also very headaches when they encounter national football. At that time, the national football team had two magic weapons, height and speed. Although the tactics of the winger with super one-on-one ability and the high point of the middle road are simple, they still make the opponent invincible, which is called the world's martial arts only fast and not broken. At that time, although our Internet technology was not developed, we chatted privately, wrote letters to the editorial office of the newspaper, and even called the hotline of sports programs, all expressing our hatred for the national football team. But in response to that sentence, the national football team that felt like a stinky foot at that time has become a peak that today's national football team cannot reach.
Although the 97 national football team led by Qi Wusheng fell into the sand in the top ten in that year, it was still regarded as the strongest national football team in history, and the 01 national football team 4 years later reached the final round of the World Cup in South Korea and Japan under the leadership of Milu. How strong was the national football team at that time? Let's put it this way, now the national football team led by Li Tie can enter the list of the two national football teams, it is estimated that only Wu Lei, Zhang Linpeng and Yan Junling, Jiang Guangtai can barely do it, but it is estimated that he can only sit on the bench. Yes, even naturalized players such as Wu Xi, Arthur Junmin and Axon were difficult to enter the two national football teams of that year.
Why do you say this, let's take the simplest example, before the start of the match against Japan and Vietnam, the call for Li Tie to adopt the high-pitched strategy is very high, but the players that fans can recommend, or can support this tactic, are only a 22-year-old Guo Tianyu who has no one-minute national team game experience. In the 97 and 01 national football teams, the high school forward belongs to the basic configuration, height, strength, speed and technology are excellent Bundesliga striker Yang Chen needless to say, Li Bing also made the Japanese team suffer in the 98 East Asian Final Four. Su Maozhen, who has always been not reused in the national team, held up the national football front banner in the 2000 Asian Cup, and in a match with the South Korean team, he scored a header and created the red dot package of South Korea's famous Hong Mingfu, helping the national football team to draw a 2-2 draw with a strong opponent in the case of two years behind.
It is worth mentioning that the last time the national football team met the Saudi team in the World Preliminary Round was the Top Ten In 1997. At home, the national football team won the first victory of the top 10 tournament with the head of the center-back Zhang Enhua. In fact, although the national football team in the top ten finals did not qualify in the end, the record of 3 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses was not disappointing. From the final points points, the reason why Iran qualified was because it had 6 points and 5 goal differences in the national football team, and without the national football team, they were at the bottom of the group. Without Iran, the national football team will be the first to enter France. No way, Iran we really can't play.
In addition to height, the speed of the national football team is super first-class in Asia, sun Jihai and Wu Chengying needless to say. Even Xie Feng, who switched from forward to right-back, can become a nightmare for the Saudi team's backline. In the 2001 Top Ten, although Li Xiaopeng was not fast, the 45-degree angle cross with accurate foot landing was simply a hit. Of course, there are also comments that Wu Chengying's cross is poor, the key is that the Shenhua prince of that year did not need to cross at all, he directly completed the shot after the cross on the left side, and even the work of the forward was done.
Therefore, 24 years later, the national football team once again met with Saudi Arabia in a narrow way, and the same is that losing basically means out, this time, who can stand up and give the opponent a fatal blow? Wu Lei? Zhang Yuning or Guo Tianyu?
