Chapter 258 The Unstoppable Dragon of the East 【World Preliminaries】

"Good boy!"

While other Chinese players were rushing forward to participate in the celebration, Li Weifeng hugged Wang Dalei and kept patting his chest, very happy.

Wang Dalei was also emotional, he just staged a successful counterattack.

Not to mention other aspects, as long as no one interferes, his hand throws are absolutely accurate!

The Australian team probably didn't study him thoroughly, and he himself was born with a big heart. How could he miss such an opportunity?

When you have to show yourself, you have to be brave to show it. From this point of view, he is actually more suitable for studying abroad than Hao Junmin and Huang Bowen. If he went out back then, he might not be able to play stably in Europe now.

Li Mo's second goal broke the Australian players' hearts.

Whether it was the players on the field or the players on the bench, they all looked in the direction of the Chinese players celebrating in a daze at the moment.

Holger also held his forehead, feeling extremely bitter in his heart.

He chose to take a gamble when he fell behind by one goal, and now it's time to suffer the consequences.

Two goals behind cannot be said to have sentenced the Australian team to death, but it made most of the Australian players on the field feel hopeless.

They belong to that kind now. Their strength is not so bad, but no matter how they play, they are in a vicious circle of not being able to win.

Speaking of which, the pits they dug themselves in the previous rounds were really too big.

Originally, everyone used the Jordan and Oman teams as cash machines, but the Australian team didn’t want to be a good guy who sent points. Now they have accumulated all the pressure in this game, and they are playing Hua, who is the number one in the group. The national team, the pressure is too great.

Li Mo's two-goal performance in half an hour also made the Australian team's defense players doubt their own strength.

At this time, mental adjustment is actually the most important thing. Tactical adjustments may improve the situation on the court, but spiritual development can make these players believe in themselves again.

However, looking at Holger's current situation, he may not be in the mood to counsel the players' psychological problems during the intermission.

In contrast, how to announce his resignation decently after the game is his top priority now.

However, it may not be a bad thing for him to resign as the head coach of the Australian team.

The current Australian team urgently needs to be rebuilt, and rebuilding a national team has always been a thankless task. Holger felt that his heart was very tired, and he also found an excuse for himself.

"Let the right people do the job, and it's time for me to rest"

Li Mo didn't know what Holger was thinking at the moment, and he didn't know about the internal problems of the Australian team. After celebrating, he wondered if he should retreat more to help his teammates defend.

After all, the counterattack just now also had a lot of luck. The Australian team suffered this loss, and they should pay more attention to Wu Sanshi in the rest of the game.

Cahill is still capable, and he can be regarded as a former Premier League star. If he is really going to explode, it is still possible to score one or two goals.

Li Mo thought about keeping the first half steady, delay the rest of the time, and then wait for the second half to see how Director Gao arranges it.

With a two-goal lead in hand, the Huaguo team is now trying to stabilize and not make mistakes. Even if the rest of the game is busted, as long as they can win, Li Mo is willing to retreat to the defense line to help his teammates.

But now he is definitely the most threatening style of play in the hinterland of Australia. With his deterrence, Australia does not dare to attack the Hua Guo team's defense line with all its strength.

After discussing with Hao Junmin and Zheng Zhi, both of them also agreed with Li Mo's idea, so they did what they said, and quickly ran back to their own half with other teammates.

The Huaguo fans, whose excitement had not yet faded, soon discovered that after the re-kick-off, the Huaguo players seemed to be in a deeper position, and they were more active in running and pressing.

On the contrary, the Australian team seemed to have not recovered from the loss of the ball. The previous impressive offensive rhythm was gone. No matter how encouraged Cahill was, the other Australian players played a bit reluctantly on the offensive end.

Director Gao has no opinion on the tactical adjustments of the players on the field.

It’s also good to be steady at this time. Sometimes you can’t think about killing the game with a single shot. It’s like hunting. When you kill the prey, the prey will also rise up and struggle. Sometimes it’s uncertain. I hurt myself back.

But you slow down the pace, cut the flesh with a blunt knife, and constantly wear down the fighting spirit and physical fitness of the opponent. When they realize that something is wrong and want to fight again, there is not much time left.

So when one side slowed down and one side's fighting spirit was depressed, the last ten or so minutes of the first half were wasted like this.

When the referee blew the whistle to end the halftime game, the players of the Australian team were sullen and hurried back to the player channel.

However, Huaguo's players enjoyed the cheers and applause of the [-] fans on the scene, and slowly walked towards the locker room.

Looking at the huge 2-0 on the scoreboard, the Hua Guo reporters on the sidelines were all happy. After the enthusiasm, they felt endless pride in their hearts.

Winning the Japanese team first, and then the Australian team, they can be regarded as the first place in Group B of the top ten competition.

If you think about the meaning of winning this game, you will be even happier.

After all, the fifth round of the Hua Guo team will be next month.

At home, against Jordan, win, plus the points after winning this game, it is a full fifteen points!

Qualified three rounds ahead of time, who would dare to think before the top ten match?
No matter how optimistic the fans are, they only said that the Hua Guo team had a high probability of qualifying before the top ten match.

There were quite a few naysayers at the time.

A Japanese team, an Australian team, how many years has the Chinese team suffered?It's good if you don't lose head-on, and few fans think they can win.

But looking at it now, in the two games, the Hua Guo team played tenaciously and methodically, which made the fans enjoy watching and swept away the previous depression.

At the moment in the locker room of the home team, Gao Gui also asked the players to take the time to replenish water and take a good rest.

In the first half, the players of the Huaguo team didn't save much energy in running. This will naturally be to seize every minute to recover more energy.

Li Mo broke a banana, split it into two, and gave half a banana to Wu Sanshi. Both of them ate in small bites, listening to Gao's tactics for the second half.

"Don't forget me, Director Gao, I can return to the back line in the end. You can throw Sanshi alone on the front line at that time. I'm the third center back on the field."

Li Mo could not help reminding him with a smile after listening to the defensive arrangement of Director Gao.

In the last game against the Japanese team, he played a cameo as a central defender at the last moment, and the effect was great. Of course, he can also play against Australia. There is no problem with him.

Amidst the roar of laughter, Director Gao thought about it seriously.

At the last moment, Australia might play a set-piece tactic. Ognenovski’s threat is still too great. No matter whether Li Weifeng or Feng Xiaoting is to mark it, it will be a disadvantage. At that time, Li Mo might really have to do it. Australia's heavy center back.

The coaching team discussed for a while, and finally told the players in the midfield and backcourt that no matter what happens in the second half, they must go above the head for 10 minutes.

Li Mo also got the instruction to be ready to defend the set ball at the last moment, and he immediately patted his chest and said that it would be fine to hand Ognenovsky over to him.

Although he is not as tall as the opponent in terms of height, Li Mo's jumping ability and physical fitness are much better than the opponent's. He also has a lot of advantages in the fight for the top, so it is not a big problem to defend against it.

However, after the start of the second half, Li Mo found that the players of the Australian team seemed to have serious expressions.

Not only did he find out, the fans of the Hua Guo team also felt that the game was a bit wrong.

In the first half, the Australian team was able to organize a threatening attack, and Cahill was also very active.

Why did the Australian team look like they had lost their backbone after playing seven or eight minutes in the second half?

Cahill's face was also a bit ugly, as if he had quarreled with others during the halftime break. Although he still maintained a strong fighting spirit on the court, it was difficult for him to reverse the decline of the entire Australian team alone.

"Wouldn't it be that Holger took some radical measures? For example, criticizing the players publicly? Why do the players of the Australian team feel that they don't have a strong desire to attack?"

Liu Jianhong expressed the doubts of countless Huaguo fans, but General Fan couldn't help but want to open a bottle of champagne to celebrate in advance.

What does God help me?

Now it is!
With a two-goal advantage in the first half, the opponent had a problem in the second half. God is on the Hua Guo team's side today.

Regardless of the life and death of the Australian team, it is best to continue to be sluggish. General Fan now only wants to hear the referee blow the whistle for the end of the game as soon as possible, and he only wants to see the Huaguo team's points become "twelve". "this number!
There is a situation in Australia, and the players on the Huaguo team are also happy to see this situation.

The game became very boring, but the Huaguo fans at the scene were extremely happy, and they wished that the game would be so boring until the end of the game.

After guarding for about [-] minutes, it seemed that there was indeed internal chaos in Australia, and Hao Junmin also tried to organize several waves of attacks.

However, Li Mo was still stared at. The other Huaguo players got a few good chances to get the ball.

The Australian team's defensive players seemed to have made up their minds not to give Li Mo a chance to perform a hat-trick. Seeing this, Li Mo didn't mind. On the contrary, he began to ask for the ball.

If the opponent stares at him, then Wu Sanshi and Shao Jiayi will get more chances. Li Mo is also happy to see other teammates score goals.

He doesn't care what the current situation of the Australian team is, a two-goal lead is not as safe as a three-goal lead.

So after attracting a lot of defensive attention from the opponent, Li Mo began to play balls for the forward teammates on both sides.

It's just a pity that Wu Sanshi's feet today seem to be a little rough.

The passing and dribbling are quite neat, but the shooting boots seem to be left at home again.

In the 706th minute of the second half, Li Mo's header got him a semi-single-handed chance. As a result, the kid hurriedly chose to shoot after entering the penalty area, and finally slapped the football into the stands.

Seeing this, Li Mo shook his head with a smile.

This Wu Sanshi still has to practice again, it is true that the old problem from before has been committed again.

After flying the ball, Wu Sanshi also blushed a little, and then he gritted his teeth and made up his mind that he had to practice shooting at the training base on Chongming Island tomorrow!
Afterwards, Li Mo tried to take two long-range shots by himself. One shot was within the range of the goal frame, and the other shot was missed, but still failed to score.

But at this point, there was not much time left for the game, and the [-] spectators became impatient, complaining nonstop to the referee, wanting him to blow the whistle for the end of the game earlier.

However, the process of supplementary time still has to be completed.

Amidst the complaints of tens of thousands of people, the Australian team also spent the last 3 minutes of suffering.

When the referee finally blew the whistle, Liu Jianhong raised his arms in the studio and cheered unabashedly:

"The game is over! The referee on duty blew the whistle for the end of the game, and we won the Australian team! In the first round, we won all four games and got [-] points! As long as we win in the next top ten game Jordan, dear viewers and friends, we will get tickets to the World Cup in Brazil three rounds in advance!"

While laughing, General Fan did not forget to remind the players and fans to continue to maintain a calm mind, and it will not be too late to celebrate after winning Jordan.

When the Shanghai Stadium was in full swing, Holger brought his assistants to the press conference ahead of time, and he didn't even go back to the locker room to appease the players.

Australia has already stood on the edge of a cliff at this time, with only two points in four rounds. If they want to get a place to qualify directly, then in the following games, in addition to winning Jordan and Oman, they have to win and Japan's duel, and pray for the Japanese team to lose consecutively.

Such a condition is really too harsh. The Australian reporters are very pessimistic at the moment, and they only want to torture Holger severely in the press conference later!

Although it doesn't help the matter, at least it can let out a sigh of relief. Sending the news back can be regarded as an explanation to the fans.

But when the post-match press conference started, these Australian reporters were dumbfounded.

"I feel that I am no longer suitable to continue as the head coach of the Australian men's football team when I am extremely tired physically and mentally."

Before being fired by the Australian Football Association, Holger decisively fired the Australian team, then slapped his ass, and left the field with his assistants under the shocked eyes of the reporters.

This is all right, the loss can be put aside first, and the Australian reporters looked at each other in blank dismay.

They now want to send this shocking news back home as soon as possible, and then the Australian team has to face a difficult problem.

Who will rebuild the Australian national team?

Fortunately, the next game in Australia will not start until March next year, and there is still plenty of time.

If, like the Hua Guo team, they are going to play the fifth round of the top ten match next month, then Australia will be in big trouble.

World War I dismissed Australia's head coach, and the Hua Guo team immediately stole the limelight in Asian football.

The next day, the Tokyo Sports News directly published the news of the focus match in Group B of the top ten match.

"The Unstoppable Dragon of the East! "
