Chapter 256 The Only One Chance In This Life
After the Huaguo national team successfully broke into the top ten games, not only the domestic fans celebrated and jubilated, but all major cities in the country were also the first to publicize and build momentum, wanting to get home qualifications for the follow-up top ten games from above .

There are only four home stadiums in total, but there are too many venues for Huaguo to hold major football matches.

There are more than ten cities vying for four home qualifications. It can no longer be described as too many monks and too few porridges, let alone, the capital has already pre-determined a spot.

This time, Modu abruptly snatched the qualification from Jiangcheng and Yangcheng. Later, I heard that Rongcheng and Bincheng were even more quarreling. One can imagine how fierce the competition for the home qualification of the next two games will be. .

And this time showing up in front of the audience across the country, the Magic City also attaches great importance to it. Even if it is just a friendly match, a large number of police and staff are dispatched to properly arrange the road dredging and fans before the match.

The New Zealand players were also taken aback when they saw this battle.

New Zealand in the Oceania Division is like a giant. Every time the world preliminaries are in the division, it is just a simple cutscene. It mainly depends on the follow-up play-offs. In the last World Cup, they defeated Bahrain in Asia and won A plane ticket to South Africa.

But their opponents in the play-offs of this World Cup will not be so easy to deal with. At that time, they will compete with the Central and North American teams for a 0.5 qualification.

Don't look at the international reputation of the Central and North American Division is far less than that of the South American Division, but for the teams in Asia and Oceania, the Central and North American teams are still very difficult to deal with.

Even if we first select a few big football countries that often participate in the World Cup, and choose among the remaining opponents, Panama, Costa Rica, and Jamaica, these are the existences that New Zealand dare not boast to win easily.

So now the New Zealand Football Association has been looking for a stronger friendly match opponent, and wants to improve its strength as much as possible before the play-offs next year.

Those archipelagic countries in the Oceania division are too hip, and playing against them is completely playing chess with a stinky chess basket, and it will only get worse and worse.

And now that New Zealand has won two rounds in the group, they are not worried about reaching the top in the Oceania division at all, so they made an appointment with the Hua Guo team for this friendly match.

The Hua Guo team saw that it was New Zealand, so they agreed directly.

The football styles of New Zealand and Australia cannot be said to be exactly the same, it can only be said that there is not much difference.

Many players in the New Zealand national team play in the Australian League or England's low-level leagues, and they all play English football.

Leaving aside the technology, the confrontation is still very strong, so before playing Australia, it is a very suitable choice to play a warm-up match with the New Zealand team.

The Australian media naturally felt very upset, and took the lead in firing, saying that New Zealand was cheating Australia, deliberately letting Huaguo familiarize themselves with the Australian national team's game style and so on.

The New Zealand media responded with ridicule.

Now there are only a few strong football teams in Asia. The Hua Guo team is currently the top ten in the top ten. New Zealand wants to find a strong team to learn from and improve. Why can't they find the Hua Guo team?
Then he kept mocking Australia's current score of two points in three games.

"Can they (the Australian team) win the Hua Guo team if we don't play a friendly match with the Hua Guo team? This is completely unreasonable. I advise the Australian Football Association to be more pragmatic and understand the concept of play first."

When the New Zealand head coach was interviewed before the friendly match with the Hua Guo team, he unceremoniously slammed the Australian reporter who was eccentric.

The Australian reporters were very angry, but they didn't dare to speak harshly to the Chinese reporters around them.

The Hua Guo team has won all three games and scored nine points, ranking first in the group, but Australia has only scored two points in three games, ranking second to last in the group. He has no confidence in saying that he will score points at the Hua Guo team's home court. .

This is also the unified thinking of Australian fans and the media now.

Try to get one point, even if you succeed.

Don't talk about winning, Li Mo just played the same game and scored two goals against Swansea before returning to China. Who are they in Australia?
Don't let the war of words fail, Li Mo will be angry when the time comes, and Kuang Bang will be kicked two or three goals, the points will not be scored, and the goal difference will be lost, then it will really be over.

The ridicule of the New Zealand media made Australian fans very indignant, but in the face of the current weak state of the national team, they really have no way to refute it.

Australia's golden generation is getting old. Like the Japanese and South Korean teams, their dominance in Asian football has been declining in recent years.

The rise of the Huaguo team is really a good time. The Japanese team is changing from old to new. Those who have retired are also getting older, and their condition is not as good as before.

In this world preliminaries, Australia had two draws and one loss in three games, scoring two goals and conceding three goals. The defense was barely okay, but the offensive end was too affected.

I couldn't score against Oman, and I was defeated by two goals against Jordan. This would have been unimaginable a few years ago, when Viduka, Cahill and Kewell were all in their prime. things.

Compared with the team 10 years ago, the strength of the current Kangaroo team has dropped too much. Judging from the current performance of young players in their national team, it will take at least two years to bring the level back to the top five in Asia. level.

The Japanese and South Korean teams are also similar, and they will not take over. They may not have very good results in the 14 World Cup. We can only hope for the 15 Asian Cup and the 18 World Cup.

In contrast, Iran and the current Hua Guo team can be regarded as dominating the AB group of the top ten.

For these two teams, Iran has patiently engaged in youth training and has achieved results. They have survived until now, and they are waiting for a talent explosion period.

Huaguo has produced a world-class superstar and brought a few talented players to study abroad. This kind of configuration can only be used in the European competition area. After all, the first thing to look at in football is the level of overall strength and performance.

Li Moqiang is strong, but if he plays in the European preliminaries and the teammates behind him are overwhelmed by the opponent, and he can't get the ball a few times, he will still be left as a tragic hero.

But from the perspective of the Asian division, the current midfield configuration of the Huaguo team can be regarded as top-notch in Asia after the improvement of several overseas players, especially after strengthening the defense of the midfield.

Although it is still not as good as the South Korean and Japanese teams, and there may not be many ways to face Iran's strong defense, it has a lot of advantages against other teams.

The last game against the Japanese team was a good example of the current midfield level of the Huaguo team.

The Japanese team still got more ball rights, and the midfielder also played more actively and aggressively.

However, the Huaguo team relied on the number of midfielders and star players, such as Hao Junmin and Zheng Zhi, to forcefully use their physical fitness and teamwork to survive the Japanese team's early offensive.

In the frontcourt, as long as Li Mo can get the ball, it will be a big crisis for the Japanese team's defense.

This set of simple tactics is no big problem against the current strong Asian teams.

Because as long as the Hua Guo team's defense cannot be penetrated in the first half an hour, these teams will face more and more defensive pressure when facing the huge threat of Li Mo. As long as they lose a goal, they will fall into an offensive and defensive dilemma among.

The Japanese team can't defend, and South Korea and Australia can't defend even more.

Maybe Iran will be better, their team defense is currently the strongest in Asia.

But in the face of Li Mo's impact, the players of the Iranian team will also be heartbroken.

No one wants to be the enemy of the big devil. Li Mo can not only score goals, but also constantly destroy the confidence of defensive players.

At least for this top ten match, after Huaguo defeated the Japanese team, Iran's domestic sports media posted many times "lucky" that they were not grouped with the Huaguo team.

Losing a game is a small matter, but if Li Mo breaks the confidence of several young players in his family, it will be a big matter.

The players of the Japanese team are more tolerant. Look at what Li Mo has done in the Premier League. Up to now, there are not a few Premier League defenders who have been defeated by him.

Now the sports media in various countries in Asia are very convinced of Li Mo, licking him so much that he is full of tricks. Naturally, the Australian reporters dare not work hard, and choose to be dumb for the time being, waiting to watch the world preliminaries on the 16th. Write a manuscript based on the results.

In the friendly match on the night of the 12th, the Hua Guo team also changed players in the first and second half, so that the whole team experienced the style of English football and the pressure they might face.

In terms of physical confrontation, Director Gao was somewhat surprised by the performance of the main players in the first half.

It's not that the performance is bad, but the performance seems a little too good.

Not to mention Li Mo, the players in the midfield, such as Huang Bowen, Zhang Linpeng, and Hao Junmin, are not afraid of confronting New Zealand players at all.

Zhang Linpeng was the most outstanding performer. He bullied New Zealand's full-backs enough and succeeded in many tough frontal confrontations in the game.

Although there are not many offensive scenes with the ball, his good cross and header ability still make him outstanding on the offensive end and have a sense of presence.

Veterans Li Weifeng, Sun Jihai and Zheng Zhi also showed a state that did not match their age.

How about a rare figure in Huaguo football over the years.

Even if the speed is slower, but the physical strength can still keep up, coupled with rich game experience, the three brothers also played a huge role on the defensive end.

Of course, the focus of the audience must still be Li Mo in front of him, with 45 minutes of playing time, four shots, three shots on goal, one goal and one assist.

Li Mo presented a good report card amid the cheers and applause of the [-] Magic City fans.

For him, this warm-up match is no different from a match in training.

Speaking of defensive oppression, New Zealand players are not as oppressive as Stones and Chris Morgan in training.

However, for other Hua Guo players, this warm-up match still played a lot of role, especially those rotation players who played in the second half.

At least they have adapted to the style of English football. If Australia has no choice but to play a long pass, they will also have a mental preparation.

The 3-1 score made the fans of Huaguo satisfied. Li Mo obviously didn't exert his strength, and the statistics of passing shots in the halftime were also passable.

And after venting a little bit of passion, the fans in Shanghai and the whole country are even more looking forward to the top ten match in a few days.

Because the Japanese team will not go to Oman until November, they only played a friendly match in October, and then they gathered the excitement of the match between Huaguo and Australia.

Anyway, in this game, whether it is the Hua Guo team or Australia winning, it is acceptable to them.

But in comparison, the Hua Guo team has already fully started, and if they meet later, the Japanese team may not be able to win the game, so the Japanese sports media are more willing to see Australia lose.

If Australia loses again, it will accumulate two points after four rounds. As long as the Japanese team wins Oman, it will accumulate ten points in five rounds.

This means that even if they lose to the Hua Guo team later, as long as they don't mess around, they can secure a qualifying spot.

So instead of seeing the Australian team avenge them and defeat the Hua Guo team, they now want to see the Hua Guo team beat the dog in the water and step the Australian team directly into the mud.

In the face of the temptation of qualifying, the little depression of losing has long since dissipated without a trace.

Therefore, there are now many strange scenes of Japanese sports media cheering for the Hua Guo team.

Li Mo was also happy to see such reports.

These days are really like, whoever is strong will help them, it is very realistic.

However, it was a matter of his own image in the next few months, and it was rare for Li Mo to become serious in the follow-up training.

The words have been released, if the Australian team cannot win on the 16th, he will not be the only one who will be ashamed, and the entire Huaguo team will be ashamed.

Even Wu Sanshi, who returned to the team a little later, posted a video of "swearing" on the scarf.

It doesn't matter if it's the uncle or the little fresh meat, everyone is on the same boat now, and they don't want to have beards all over their faces when they fight Jordan next month, then they have to beat the kangaroos back to their hometowns.

But at this point, there is no need for Li Mo to mobilize and emphasize. The temptation to win the Australian team and basically secure a qualifying qualification is too great.

More than [-]% of the team has never played in the World Cup. Now, the opportunity is in front of them, and whoever does not rush is a fool.

Deng Zhuoxiang eagerly ran to the training base for a few meals.

However, he has only come back to play eight league games in the domestic league. Although he is in a good state, it may take a while to return to his previous level. High guidance also allows him to find his state with peace of mind.

After all, next year there will be three world preliminaries plus friendly matches. He has a lot of opportunities. At present, he still needs to adjust his physical condition to the level before his injury last year.

Li Mo also asked Deng Zhuoxiang to recover well during this period of time. He can be introduced to the German second division for trial training during the winter window. If he can stay in Germany, it will not be a problem to catch the last train for the World Cup next year.

After all, Shao Jia is getting older. If Deng Zhuoxiang recovers better, then he will definitely have a place in the national team, and he may continue to play as the main midfielder.

The brothers comforted and encouraged Deng Zhuoxiang, and he also felt at ease, but this time the domestic league is also on a truce, and he happened to watch the top ten match on the 16th before going back.

With the passage of time, domestic big and small stars have also appeared on social media to catch up with the increasingly fiery football enthusiasm.

In addition to some stars who already like football, some stars who have never heard of watching football games have also posted videos wearing national team jerseys and cheering.

However, the fans didn't have time to talk to these stars in the entertainment circle. On the 16th, fan organizations large and small all over the country started activities.

Renting venues, mobilizing manpower, online cheering cannot be stopped, and offline game viewing activities must also be organized.

Fortunately, the game time of the day is after 07:30 in the evening, so most fans can also rush to the game venue after get off work.

In the afternoon, during the six or seven o'clock rush to get off work across the country, the figures of fans wearing national team jerseys rushing to the viewing point became a dazzling sight.

Among these fans, the No. [-] jersey with Li Mo's name on it is the most.

Everyone took a look and asked, oh, okay!They all washed or bought Li Mo's No. [-] jersey a week in advance, and they just waited to wear it today to cheer for the national team.

There was a long queue outside the Shanghai Metropolitan Stadium early today, and there were not a few middle-aged fans who asked for leave to watch the game.

Reporters from Wutai and various media across the country also gathered outside the stadium or the hotel where the national team stayed.

There are also several bigwigs from above who came to Shanghai today. At this moment, whether you like to watch football games or not, showing your face is a must.

With the attention of the whole country, if you win, it will be a good publicity opportunity.

If you lose, basically no one thinks you will lose, the atmosphere is already here, if you lose, it will be too embarrassing.

However, the fans have full confidence in the national team. Li Mo has talked about this, and today the players will definitely fight to the end.

If you really fight to the end and lose, then most fans will admit it!
As long as they are not useless and fight with blood, the fans will dare to accompany the players to scream until the last moment.

Faced with such enthusiasm, the entire Huaguo team also felt tremendous pressure and motivation.

Li Mo still maintains full confidence, and his confident posture has more or less played a role.

At least the young players like Wu Sanshi and Yu Hanchao felt much less nervous when they looked at him.

High guidance did not re-emphasize tactics and discipline too much.

It has been three years since he rebuilt the national team, and he is still very satisfied with the team he built, at least in terms of discipline.

And in the last year or so, the team's tactical play has been fixed. With Li Mo and a few veteran players under pressure, the players on the field will not make any mistakes in tactical execution.

The most important thing now is the mentality.

You can't absolutely relax and underestimate the enemy, but you shouldn't be too nervous.

After winning against the Japanese team last time, Director Gao and the coaching staff of the national team knew that they were already number one in Group B, and there was no big problem playing against the current Australian team, which has many problems.

As long as the mentality is stable, the biggest offensive problem is left to Li Mo to solve, and the defense in the midfield and the backcourt are done well, and the game is at least [-]% sure to win.

So Director Gao gave the last ten minutes to several veteran players, as well as Li Mo.

Li Weifeng and the others were not timid and dared to take responsibility. After some comforting speeches, the nervousness of the young players in the team dissipated a lot.

After Li Mo stood up, everyone in the locker room turned their attention to him.

And in such an occasion, Li Mo did not have the slightest stage fright.

He is the captain of Sheffield United, and now he is designated as the third captain in the national team by Gao Gui, only after Li Weifeng and Zheng Zhi.

At this meeting, Li Weifeng and Zheng Zhi also intentionally asked him to make the final speech to pave the way for him, so he naturally accepted the last opportunity to encourage everyone.

"To this point, we have to consider whether this is our only chance in this lifetime."

As soon as Li Mo opened his mouth, many players were stunned, and the locker room was completely quiet, only Li Mo's voice remained.

"We have entered the World Cup once, ten years ago, and since then, two world preliminaries, we have not even been able to participate in the final stage of the game, ten years is enough for a player to spend his golden career, Big Brother , Brother Sun, Brother Zhi and Brother Shao, they should have a deep understanding of this."

Many young players looked at Li Weifeng and the others, among which Zheng Zhi looked the most lonely.

Several other people played in the World Cup at least in those years, but he failed to catch up. In the past ten years, his career has indeed passed its golden period, and now he is just struggling and thinking about making a final effort.

"So don't hold the idea of ​​'Even if we don't make it this time, we still have a chance in the future', no one can guarantee that we will still reach the top ten next time, we will still be at the top of the group, and we still have such a good chance .

The World Cup is held every four years, but how many four years can a player have to waste?I'm a bit unlucky, if I don't make it to the two rounds, then basically many of you here will have to withdraw from the national team with regrets, so today, we treat this match as our last chance!
It is not to make everyone nervous, but to let everyone understand what kind of attitude and determination we should show when facing what may be our only chance in this life.

Especially when we occupy the commanding heights of strength, we can use our best state to suppress them, but we still need to calm down, or even lower our mentality, to value them.

With confidence, we firmly believe that we will definitely win the final victory, but don't lose your sense of normalcy. Even if you encounter difficulties in the game, or even fall behind, don't panic. Think about how much we have paid to get to where we are today. Hard work and sweat; think of all the support our fans have given us over the years even when the team was at its lowest point! "

Li Mo's tone gradually rose. Looking at the surrounding teammates whose eyes had faded from thinking and whose breathing was gradually increasing, he clenched his hands into fists and firmly issued the final declaration of battle.

"Today, we are fighting for ourselves, and we must fight for the fans who have supported us all these years! After the game, no matter what the result is, tell the fans with actions that there are no arrogant fools on the field today, let alone useless ones. You bastard! Fight to the last moment, kill the Australians, and Hua Guoxiong will rise!!!”

"Hua Guoxiong rises!!!"

Amidst roars, Li Mo clapped his hands and hugged his teammates one by one. There was no extra emotion on their faces at this moment, only a strong murderous look remained on their faces!
Just do it!to the end!
If you can't win the game today, as long as there is one player who can stand on the field, it will be a disgrace to the entire Huaguo national team!

Seeing the mental outlook of the players at the moment, Director Gao had nothing to say. He just felt that it was very correct for Li Mo to make the final speech.

And when the players of the Hua Guo team finished lining up in the player tunnel and the live broadcast came in, fans all over the country saw this team with a fierce look on their faces and extremely firm eyes.

General Fan Da, who was specially invited by Wutai to be a special guest at the scene today, slapped his thigh and shouted excitedly:

"Yes! It's this momentum! The momentum of the whole team has been brought out. This is even more ruthless than when we played in the world preliminaries. Keep it up. As long as we can maintain this mental outlook in the game, I believe that we will win the championship today." It can take all three points!"

Liu Jianhong, who was in the live studio at the moment, was also shocked.

This kind of appearance of the national team has never been seen before. I can't wait to go on the field and eat Australia raw!

Fans from all over the country couldn't help but pat the table and applaud.

That's it!
Regardless of the final result, what is needed is this energy!

No matter what strong team your special code is, just copy the guy and do it, and you'll be done after you do it!

As long as they are not counselors, the fans will naturally support the team by 1. This principle is applicable to any team in the world.

Otherwise, why would Liverpool and Chelsea, who won the Champions League in 05 and 12, be talked about by fans for so many years?

It's just that they don't hesitate, no matter how powerful the enemy is or how dangerous the situation is, they still maintain a determination to fight to the end!
And how many strong teams also fell on the lack of such determination.

They thought they were very strong, but when they were torn apart by their opponents, they panicked and didn't have the determination to fight to the end. No matter how strong they are on paper, they are just a team without a soul.

Under the night sky, the referee seized the time and walked out of the player tunnel first. Then, amidst the thunderous shouts of nearly [-] home fans, the players of the Hua Guo team stepped forward firmly and showed their heads high!
Li Mo took a deep breath, looked up, it was all bright red!
The sound of drums shook the sky, and the uncle who took off his shirt tried his best to beat the drums, and there were countless red flags waving!

There is a kind of emotion that arises from the depths of the soul, and this emotion makes the players of the Huaguo team grit their teeth involuntarily.

At this time, they realized how important Li Mo's sentence "Fight to support our fans" is!

"Boom! Boom!"

"Hua Guoxiong rises!!!"

"Boom! Boom!"

"Hua Guoxiong rises!!!"

Countless audiences, whether they were on the scene or in front of the TV, shouted out this slogan that they had shouted countless times before.

The players of the Australian team were extremely shocked.

What kind of home atmosphere is this!

Incomparably huge pressure surfaced in their hearts.

I didn't have much confidence in defeating the Hua Guo team. I have to play in such a home environment later. Many young Australian players feel a little difficult to breathe!

Rao Cahill, who had seen many big scenes in the team, also felt a little nervous at this moment.

He has played many games in the Premier League, but he has never seen such a team with [-] home fans.

From a global perspective, this is an extremely terrifying number of home players!

The main reason is that the national team's game is different from the league. Even if Australian fans want to come to Huaguo to cheer for the team, they will face many difficulties.

The two most terrible points, one is distance, and the other is ticket grabbing.

A distance first caused many Australian fans to quit. Coupled with the active ticket grabbing of Chinese fans, they got even fewer tickets, and they couldn't support them even if they wanted to.

Faced with such a situation, the Australian commentator cheered up their players bitterly, but he knew very well in his heart that the Australian team might be in big trouble today!
When the national anthems of the two teams were finished and after a simple pre-match ceremony, Li Mo walked towards the middle circle and made a move that made the Huaguo fans go crazy.

Clenching his fist, inhaling, Li Mo looked up at the stands, slapped his chest and roared!
He believes that the fans understand what he means.

And the fact is exactly the same, facing Li Mo's way of expressing his determination, the Huaguo fans at the scene were all excited and roared in response!

After high-fiving and hugging with Wu Sanshi, Li Mo stood in front of the kick-off point.

He is ready for everything!
At 10:16 on the evening of October 19th, when the time reached this point, the referee who looked at the watch immediately blew the whistle for the start of the game, and Li Mo also kicked the ball to Wu Sanshi, and then trotted To the Australian half!

"CCTV, CCTV! Welcome to watch."

Liu Jianhong recited the opening remarks as usual, while General Fan couldn't stop nodding as he watched the Hua Guo team's lineup unfold.

"It's solid, no problem."

This was Lao Fan's first thought at the moment.

Today, the high-level guide still has a lineup of [-], [-], [-], [-].

Starting center Li Mo.

The three forwards are lined up from left to right, namely Wu Sanshi, Shao Jiayi and Huang Bowen.

The double midfielders are Zheng Zhi and Hao Junmin.

From left to right in the defense are Sun Jihai, Li Weifeng, Feng Xiaoting and Zhang Linpeng.

The goalkeeper is Wang Dalei.

In addition to Wu Sanshi being put on the starting lineup, Wang Dalei is also rarely placed in the starting lineup by high-level guidance.

Although Wang Dalei may not be as good as Yang Zhi and Zeng Cheng in terms of stability and control error rate, Wang Dalei has shown a very good state in training during this period.

After all, the Huaguo team now focuses on defensive counterattacks and does not require the goalkeeper's ability to dribble and pass the ball. Wang Dalei has shown a better level of saving on the goal line, and Director Gao does not mind giving him a chance to perform.

Anyway, with the interception of the midfielder and the back line, Wang Dalei will basically not go one-on-one with the opponent's forward, just save the opponent's long-range shots and possible stealing shots.

In this regard, he is stronger than Yang Zhi and Zeng Cheng. Sometimes it feels like Wang Dalei can even perform a quick two-punch performance, and his talent is still there.

It's a pity that I couldn't go out when I should go out the most.
In general, the first batch of players did not exceed the expectations of the major media and fans before the game. The selection of high-level coaches was very stable and there was no change in tactics.

And even in the face of such a lineup that hasn't changed much, Australia's head coach Holger Osik still has no good solutions.

If he still has Viduka before the age of 30, it will be easy to handle.

The Australian team can't defend Li Mo, but the Chinese team can't defend Viduka either. Australia can fully use Viduka's fulcrum role, supplemented by a pack of wolves from the outside to kill the Huaguo team.

But he doesn't have Viduka in his hands now, let alone Viduka, he doesn't even have a powerful big center forward.

On the contrary, he can play some tall centers in the Australian League, but he is not capable enough. Li Weifeng is not afraid of head-to-head, and it is useless to play.

Looking at the striker Kruse standing in the Hua Guo team's half at the moment, Holger could only sigh slightly.

When he was still in the Australian Super League a few years ago, Kruse's scoring efficiency was not bad, but after moving to Dusseldorf, Kruse's progress can only be described as slow, and he has not reached the level of Australian fans and fans at all. media expectations.

Kruse played in the Bundesliga this year, but his position was withdrawn and he acted as a passer. It's just that the Australian team really has no better candidates at present, so they can only put Kruse on the front line.

Holger also tried several other forwards in the previous games, but the effect was very poor, otherwise Australia would not have drawn Oman and lost Jordan.

Going to Kruse now can only be said to be a dead horse as a living horse doctor, let's see again.

The Huaguo team is very stable here. Hao Junmin is in control of the ball and constantly dispatches teammates on both sides to expand the formation. At the same time, Zheng Zhi also directs his teammates to pay attention to Cahill.

Don't look at Cahill's transfer to the American Major League this year for retirement, but he is almost 33 years old and he is in pretty good shape.

As an attacking midfielder, Cahill has a wealth of experience in the game, and his ability to shoot from the back and header in the penalty area is very strong, and he is well-known in the Premier League.

Moreover, he is also the top scorer of the Australian men's national team, so the Hua Guo team also attaches great importance to him in this game, and Zheng Zhi is even more determined to stare at him.

This Australian team is basically Cahill leading the offense. Marking him to death is basically marking Australia's biggest offensive threat.

But just like the Huaguo team, the Australian team started very cautiously. They didn't dare to press forward at the beginning, as if they were afraid that the Huaguo team would start looking for Li Mo.

The two midfielders, Yedinac Gavaleni, stared closely at Li Mo.

Especially Yedinak, as a current Crystal Palace player, he has heard too many stories about Li Mo in the British Championship.

Whether it is the amazing performance in the British Championship or the super performance in the Premier League, Li Mo is a topic that cannot be bypassed in English football.

Although Jedinak had never fought against Li Mo, his teammates who had been defeated by Li Mo had described Li Mo's characteristics to him many times.

Yedinak's physical fitness is very good. With a height of 1.8 meters and a weight of 88 kg, he is an out-and-out heavy midfielder.

But facing Li Mo at this moment, Yedinak was extremely nervous.

Because in the description of Li Mo by his teammates, the word that appeared most was "destructive".

"As long as he rushes up, bro, you'd better get out of the way, no kidding, God! I still remember when he ran over me, like being run over by a heavy truck! He Destroyed me!"

Such a description makes it really difficult for Yedinak to bring up the interest in one-on-one confrontation with Li Mo.

Now he just prays that Li Mo will not follow him today.

Although at critical moments, he would still stand in front of Li Mo without hesitation, but if he could not make such a choice, it would be best not to make such a choice.

Li Mo Ganfei's powerful central defenders are almost forming a football team, and Yedinak is a good one!He still has this self-knowledge.

Fortunately, after the start of the game, the Hua Guo team did not seem to have a strong desire to attack. They all passed the ball near the center circle. It seemed that they wanted to involve the Australian team's midfield defense and did not choose to pass the ball directly to Li Mo.

This made Australia's midfield players breathe a sigh of relief.

But after seeing that the Australian team seemed to be overly cautious, Hao Junmin also clearly sensed the opportunity and began to hand over the ball to Shao Jiayi.

As the most important link in the midfield, Shao Jiayi naturally knows what his biggest task in this game is.

Huang Bowen and Wu Sanshi were asked to try separately, but after failing to hook the Australian team's defenders, Shao Jia directly passed the ball to Li Mo who retreated slightly to meet him.

The fans in the audience naturally gave out huge cheers, and after Li Mo got the ball, he decisively chose to push forward with the ball.

This move made Jedinak and Valeni tense up instantly.

Don't look at Li Mo seldom attacking with the ball in Sheffield United this season, but last season's Premier League didn't last long. Li Mo's miraculous performance is vivid, especially the occasional explosive dribbling ability, which made all Defensive players dare not give him too much time to hold the ball.

However, after Li Mo passed the Australian midfielder Holman who was the first to intercept, he directly chose to distribute the ball to Wu Sanshi who was on the wing.

It seems that he just wants to help Wu Sanshi create more space for dribbling.

Li Mo's choice made Australia's midfielder have a big defensive loophole, and Wu Sanshi also quickly advanced a distance of six or seven meters with the ball.

However, facing the marking of the Australian right back, Wu Sanshi still steadily passed the ball back to Shao Jiayi who came forward to meet him.

After that, Shao Jiayi and Li Mo, who retreated from time to time, connected the left and right offenses in the Australian half.

Although the main focus is defensive counterattacks, the Huaguo team naturally has offensive routines in positional warfare.

Sun Jihai is now physically limited and rarely steps forward to assist. However, the combination of Huang Baiwen and Zhang Linpeng on the right takes turns to press on, putting a lot of defensive pressure on Australia's right.

The main reason is that both of them are not afraid of confronting Australian players, and they will not easily lose the ball in the face of the interference of a single defensive player. Gradually, a big hole was torn on this side.

Li Mo's existence and his constant interspersed running positions made the two midfielders of the Australian team dare not easily defend the left and right full backs. Once they let Li Mo find a space to hold the ball in the defensive third area, it will give the entire team The back line brings huge pressure.

Therefore, Huang Bowen and Zhang Linpeng became more unscrupulous in doing things on the right side.

Anyway, if you have the ability, your midfielders will come over to help defend. If you dare not come over, we will not be polite, so we will catch you and fight all the way!

Some progress has been made. Although there is still no way to directly get a good offensive opportunity, the Huaguo fans at the scene see hope and support the players with waves of cheers.

After ten minutes in the first half, the defense of the Australian team was not bad, at least for the time being, Li Mo was not allowed to shoot in the penalty area.

But after Shao Jiayi observed calmly for a few minutes, he felt that the time had come to speed up.

No.14 minutes, Li Mo made a fulcrum for Huang Bowen, allowing Huang Bowen to break into the Australian team's defensive third zone with the ball.

However, in the face of the retreating and shrinking defensive formation, Huang Bowen did not try his best to continue to excel, and patiently knocked the ball back to Shao Jiayi again.

Hao Junmin stepped forward to respond, but Shao Jiayi made a bold decision.

After stopping the ball quickly, Shao Jia moved his feet and lobbed the ball to the left!
When the defensive players of the Australian team kept running towards the right side of the Huaguo team, and the entire defensive formation unconsciously leaned to this side, Wu Sanshi gained a very good breakthrough space.

Shao Jiayi's pass also showed his skills, giving a very suitable amount of advance, allowing Wu Sanshi to give full play to his speed advantage without being destroyed by the attack of the Australian full-back.

Li Mo moved.

He started diagonally into Australia's penalty area after the point.

There, Australia's tall central defender, the 1.9-meter-five Ognenowski, is waiting in full force!

Although already 33 years old, Ognenowski's condition has remained good, with a height of 1.9 meters 95 and a weight of [-] kilograms, he also has the confidence to compete with Li Mo.

As long as Li Mo doesn't rely on speed to eat him raw and chooses to play a direct confrontation with him, Ognenovsky still has some confidence.

It's not that he is confident that he can stop Li Mo, but that he is sure that he can interfere with Li Mo and prevent him from having a good chance to compete for the top in the penalty area.

After all, given his tonnage and height, he is one of the few central defenders in Asia who is not afraid of confronting Li Mo head-on.

Wu Sanshi's advancing speed is very fast. This time facing the Australian right back, he did not choose to pass back, but confidently accelerated to the outside line, looking like he wanted to race with the opponent!
However, after the Australian right back also increased his speed, Wu Sanshi suddenly dunked, passed the defender, and then decisively chose to cut inside.

He had an inward cut shot. The players in the Huaguo team knew this, and the Australian players also knew it.

"Don't let him come here!"

Australia's goalkeeper Schwarzer shouted eagerly.

But after Wu Sanshi dribbled the ball for two steps, facing Valeni who was intercepting him and the full-back who was chasing him from behind, he suddenly changed direction again, waving the ball towards the baseline and accelerating with all his strength!
It's a simple rhythm change and taking advantage of speed, but Wu Sanshi seldom played in this way when playing football in China.

The experience in the Bundesliga Second Division seems to have not only allowed him to grow up quickly on the front line, but also allowed him to learn a lot of practical skills on the wing.

Li Mo shouted in his heart, "Good boy!".

Brother Leizi in this period of time is not only the forward who is always running in the middle to eat cakes. Before he was seriously injured, he was one of the young players with the best skills in China!
But this time after Wu Lei went to the bottom, he didn't hesitate any longer, and directly chose to cross.

Li Mo also rushed forward in the fight with Ognenovsky!
Ognenowski turned pale with fright, his speed was very slow and he couldn't keep up with Li Mo at all, so he could only yell to get the attention of central defender Wilkeshire.

Wilkshire had already stood still, but Ognenowski's shout still made his heart skip a beat.

He is only 1.8 meters tall, and the purpose of partnering with Ognenovsky is to make up for the opponent's slow speed. Wouldn't it kill him to let him and Li Mo fight against each other!
But complaining at this moment is completely useless, Wilkeshire can only pray that Yedinak behind him can catch up to the penalty area in time, and help him pinch Li Mo behind him.

Wu Sanshi's cross and Li Mo's running position are very harmonious, and his pass is close to the front point.

In order for Li Mo to receive it smoothly, he passed it a little higher.

Australia's central defender certainly can't reach this height, but Li Mo can!

Under the watchful eyes of countless domestic audiences, after Li Mo adjusted his pace, he kicked off the ground and jumped high, almost pressing down on Wilkshire to complete the flight!

Yedinak came back, even though he was still panting, he was still close to Li Mo and jumped up.

But even if the two of them double-teamed Li Mo, it was too late.

In front of Li Mo who took off, both of them were at least half a head shorter!
Can't reach football!

Without any hesitation, Li Mo tightened his waist and abdomen in the air, and then vigorously completed the movement of shaking his head and attacking the goal.

Like a furious lion, Li Mo knocked away Wilkeshire in front of him, and the football was pushed to the upper left corner of the Australian goal!

The 40-year-old Schwarzer stretched his arms with all his strength, but his reflex nerves no longer supported him to make a miraculous save. At least he was helpless in the face of Li Mo's violent header!

"Hey, Wu Sanshi dunked again! Do you want to enter the penalty area? Li Mo is here! A cross! Li Mo's header!!!"

"Ahhhhh!!! Schwarzer missed it! Li Mo scored a goal! The goal is scored! The goal is scored!!! We are ahead! We are ahead!!!"

General Fan and Liu Jianhong went from tense to ecstatic in an instant in the studio!
Who can bear it!

Facing this goal, no fan can bear it!

General Fan even jumped up and kept saying "Good shot!" "Great job!"

The entire Modu Stadium jumped like a volcanic eruption at this moment!

That was [-] excited Huaguo fans jumping and cheering!
At this time, outside the stadium, countless Huaguo fans in front of the TV also jumped up like crazy, and then waved their fists and kept cheering and shouting!

Deafening shouts instantly swept across the entire stadium, and at this moment after scoring the goal, Li Mo also opened his arms, holding Wu Sanshi passionately on the baseline, and then rolled out on the turf with a somersault!

"Treat it as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

Li Mo's voice seemed to resound in the minds of all Huaguo players on the field. Zheng Zhi felt his nose sore and was about to lose control.

Li Weifeng and Sun Jihai hugged him, excitedly embracing and celebrating in the backcourt!
This opportunity, them.
