Soon Uzbekistan got an opportunity to attack. Midfielder Deparov passed through the Chinese team's defense with a direct pass. Forward Nasyev quickly dribbled the ball into the penalty area and faced the Chinese team's goal. Zheng Zhi gritted his teeth and chased after him. When the opponent started to shoot, he threw his whole body out and raised his right foot to block the opponent's shot.
This is a very good shovel, and Yi Zhedu must give a thumbs up.
Uzbekistan's defense was pressed together today, leaving a huge space in the backcourt. However, Yi Zhe tried two consecutive passes aimed at the open space, but both were called offside.
"Pay attention to your position, Brother Gao Lin!" Yi Zhe shouted loudly.
Gao Lin turned around and gave a gesture, but turned around and the opponent's goalkeeper Nesterov launched a long pass on the spot. After a chaotic battle in the midfield, Jeparov took a long shot directly outside the penalty area.
"Be careful! Jeparov!"
Wang Dalei flew up and saved the ball with one palm, but Ahmedov quickly followed up outside the penalty area. He and the two of them raised their feet almost at the same time. The big man was also fierce enough and kicked a low shot directly towards Yi Zhe.
But Wang Dalei almost subconsciously turned sideways and stretched his legs to block the follow-up shot.
"Hey! Da Lei! He's in really good shape!"
Yi Zhe also walked over and high-fived Wang Dalei. This goalkeeper, who is rare in China, was obviously in great condition. He clapped his hands and roared: "Come again!"
"Brother Big Lei, calm down, they don't deserve it, ha!"
Yi Zhe made a joke casually, but Wang Dalei's generous temperament attracted him, and even made him feel that he was better than Wolfsburg captain Benario.
It seems that people who have trained in Europe are different...
Yi Zhe didn't want to show off himself. When he thought this, his eyes subconsciously turned to Ahmedov. They are not impressive in the Europa League, but they still show good strength in this arena.
Yi Zhe returned to his position and shouted to his defensive midfielder partner Cai Huikang: "Press up!"
He even omitted the title, but he actually had a strong opinion in his heart. Is this eldest brother so big and muscular just for fishing?
But Cai Huikang is even more unsuited to the high-position pressing that lasts more than half of the game. In the club, he only needs to delay and do the dirty work, and pass the ball directly to foreign players in the frontcourt.
Now when Yi Zhe greeted him, the whole team's formation pressed up, leaving him at a loss as to what to do. Although the tackle was fierce, his first reaction after grabbing the ball was to look up and observe Yi Zhe's position, but his feet did not move at all.
This is a big no-no at the highest level of competition in Asia.
Yi Zhe didn't expect to be shown such an amateurish operation again.
"Cai Huikang! This mistake... the Chinese team's midfield was hollowed out!"
Uzbekistan advanced quickly, and Jeparov made a diagonal pass. The opponent's counterattack formed a four-on-two offensive along the wing. Yi Zhe chased back desperately, but there were only two center backs defending in front of the opponent.
Deparov received the pass at the top of the penalty area and fired directly at the goal. Yi Zhe tried his best to catch up and use his body to block the shot, but Akhmedov followed up behind him at high speed without any hesitation. , another long-range shot. Yi Zhe's body was lying on the ground. He had tried his best. Zheng Zhi rushed forward with all his strength to block it, but the long-range shot hit his right leg and drew a weird arc straight to the dead corner of the goal, making Wang Dalei unable to save it. .
"Ahmedov! What an unlucky coincidence..."
Falling behind, Wang Dalei pounded the ground angrily, while Zheng Zhi looked helplessly in the direction of his own goal.
"Hold on!"
Yi Zhe shouted. This was also the first time he saw the national team falling behind on the court. To be honest, he didn't feel right.
But after he got the ball, he still controlled the rhythm steadily. Every player of the Chinese team was rushing forward, but Yi Zhe was not in a hurry at all. Even if two players from the opponent came around to press together, his teammates were all there. Running towards the frontcourt, he only passed the ball back to Zheng Zhi.
"Brother Zhi, give me the ball!"
Yi Zhe didn't say anything, he just used actions to tell his teammates what to do. Those players who ran forward quickly ran back obediently. Everyone knew that running forward could not catch Yi Zhe's pass.
"Hahahaha! This is Yi Zhe's style. He is ruthless and doesn't talk much - he is teaching his teammates how to play calmly in adversity."
Yi Zhe kept controlling the situation on the field with passing passes. The cheers on the field covered up all the noise, but every player on the field heard Yi Zhe's voice.
"pass!"
No one can really pass the ball to him - Yi Zhe is so active that all teammates can see him when they look up.
But Yi Zhe was not in a hurry to launch a fatal blow. Instead, he continuously slipped Akhmedov and Deparov in the midfield, trying to control the rhythm of the court.
Hao Junmin is a reliable helper in the midfield. After all, he has been baptized in the Bundesliga and his consciousness can keep up with Yi Zhe.
"Third brother, take control!"
Yi Zhe just shouted, and Hao Junmin instantly understood. The two of them fully cooperated with each other in passing the ball in the midfield, directly forcing Jeparov to take the initiative to stretch his legs to make a tackle. As a result, Yi Zhe turned around in front of him, and he stayed on the spot. I stretched my legs and got cramps...
"Less than half an hour into the game, Jeparov has already surrendered to the Chinese team's passing and control! Haha! He is old, but the Chinese team is not the opponent he once knew!"
I have never seen it before. Although the score is behind, half an hour after the game started, the Chinese team's ball possession rate was as high as a terrifying 75%! In the past few minutes, the opponent has not even touched the ball.
Even Perrin raised his chin and asked the assistant coach Ali next to him with a smile: "Old man, is this what Yi said that we can't beat the opponent with passing control?"
Both of them laughed. For the two Frenchmen, what is the difference between this scene and Barcelona's passing and controlling?
"Maybe Yi's requirements are very high." Ali could only reply.
But Perrin was thoughtful: "If that's the case... just wait, our goal won't be too far away."
Sure enough, just two minutes after he said this, Yi Zhe saw the opponent's defensive formation beginning to press forward towards the midfield, turned around and directly wiped Akhmedov away, heading towards the side of the opponent's center back Ismailov. A pass was released into the end gap, and a player quickly jumped in from this position.
"Wu Lei! Wu Lei!"
Wu Lei's movement was indeed smart enough. After entering the penalty area, he was brought down by goalkeeper Nesterov.
The Chinese team got a penalty kick opportunity before the end of the first half!
"This is the opportunity that Yi Zhe gained with his quick running and calm passing! This is a real insight into the laws of football. When we really control the situation, time will never be the enemy - leave it to The Chinese team still has a lot of time!”
It's a classic quote again, but this time all the fans seemed to have realized it during the joke of the CCTV celebrity.
