While running, Gao Xiaodong "observed" the distance from the pursuers behind him, and saw that the distance was appropriate. Gao Xiaodong suddenly pushed the ball inward and tangled across the middle of the court.

The Iraqi player who was chasing ran too fast and stopped there. One player stopped and fell down. The other three rushed forward for two or three meters before stopping.

With this crosscutting, Gao Xiaodong still maintained the distance from the defensive players, but the shooting angle was even larger.

Already within Gao Xiaodong's range, Iraqi goalkeeper Cashid felt a chill. He stared at Gao Xiaodong's feet and was ready to save.

Gao Xiaodong adjusted his step a little. Casid felt that Gao Xiaodong was about to shoot, so he was almost about to snatch it, but Gao Xiaodong did not shoot, and took another step, then shot the upper left corner of the goal.

Gao Xiaodong's shot was very small now, but his calf was exerting force quickly. However, Gao Xiaodong had great strength, and this ball was comparable to an ordinary player's full force.

Caheed was beaten a time difference. He felt that Gao Xiaodong didn't shoot when it was time to shoot. When he relaxed, Gao Xiaodong cried.

Casid flew in a hurry to save but was still a step slower. The ball flew past his hand and rushed straight to the dead corner of the goal.

2:0

Gao Xiaodong once again expanded the score for the Chinese team with a long shot.

Casheed beat the ground with his hands twice with long shots.

Gao Xiaodong was also excited. He raised his hands high and let out a long whistle to the sky with a domineering spirit.

This was almost a goal to secure the victory! The Chinese team fans at the scene were extremely excited. They raised their arms and shouted to cheer for Gao Xiaodong.

Camachobi was excited. He clenched his fists and rushed to the sidelines, shouting "Hao High..."

It’s no wonder that Kamacho is so excited. He coaches the Chinese team with a sky-high contract, and has superstars like Gao Xiaodong. If he can’t even qualify for the top 20 group stages, it would be too embarrassing.

Camacho has been under great pressure, and now, Gao Xiaodong's goal has almost secured the victory, and Camacho's pressure has been completely released.

Camacho has no pressure, but Iraqi coach Ziko has come.

Jiko is even more famous, and the Iraqi he took over is also the strongest in Group A. In the eyes of Jiko and Iraqis, there is no suspense to qualify for the first place in the top 20 group. The Chinese team and Jordan are only competing for the second place in the group.

However, Jordan's outstanding performance made the situation of qualifying in Group A. If Iraq loses in this game, Iraq will likely have to compete with Jordan for a qualifying place in the end. This is very passive and Jiko cannot accept it. He still wants to get the initiative to qualify in this game.

Although the first half of the game was about to pass, Jiko still called several players on the side of the court to ask them to strengthen their offense and strive to win one back.

Kamacho was too excited and only wanted to slap the high and hug the assistant substitute player, forgetting to arrange the defense in the last few minutes, but Gao Xiaodong was experienced in the competition. When Iraq attacked, he retreated to defend. When the Chinese team got the ball, Gao Xiaodong controlled the ball and controlled the rhythm and never allowed Iraq's offensive to rise. In the last three minutes, Iraq could not use it and could only accept the situation of falling behind by two goals.

During the halftime break, Camacho happily hugged every starter at the door of the locker room, praised their performance in the first half, and praised Gao Xiaodong's performance even more.

When setting up the tactics in the second half, Camacho emphasized the defensive counterattack, and Gao Xiaodong's position was also adjusted to the midfielder.

The players have no objection to such an arrangement. They lead by two goals and have no doubts about the defensive counterattack. However, China's local coach Fu Bo does not agree to put Gao Xiaodong in the midfield.

Fu Bo is very familiar with the abilities of Chinese players. He told Kamacho that the Chinese team's offense is completely supported by Gao Xiaodong. If Gao Xiaodong is placed in the midfield, the Chinese team may only have defense and no counterattack.

Kamacho has always believed that the Chinese Football Association inserted Fu Bo'an into the coaching team to hinder him. He wanted to drive Fu Bo away, but he failed. How could he listen to Fu Bo's advice?

After listening to Fu Bo's suggestion, Kamacho said nothing and seemed to have not heard it, which made Fu Bo very embarrassed.

The halftime break passed quickly, the game started again, and Iraq kicked off.

During the halftime break, Iraq changed another person, Karim was replaced, and a stronger attacking midfielder Samir came up.

After falling behind two goals, Iraq has no way out. They have pushed up heavily from the first minute and attacked with all their might.

Although Iraq's offense is strong, the Chinese team's defense is even better.

Gao Xiaodong retreated, and his defensive coverage and accurate positioning almost resolved most of the offensives in the middle. The Chinese central defenders were under very little pressure, so it was easy for two people to defend Younis alone.

However, as Fu Bo said, the Chinese team's defense was good, but the counterattack could not be achieved.

Gao Xiaodong can organize attacks in the backcourt and pass the ball to the feet of the forward and the forwards, but without Gao Xiaodong attracting defensive forces, the Chinese team could not hold the ball in the frontcourt at all, and could not cooperate even after getting the ball. Often, they made mistakes if they could not pass the ball.

In the 50th minute of the game, Gao Xiaodong passed the long pass behind the defender, and Yang Xu successfully counterattacked, but he stopped the ball too much and was destroyed by goalkeeper Caheed.

In the 57th minute of the game, Gao Xiaodong intercepted the ball to Sun Xiang on the side. Sun Xiang made a cross from the bottom at the high speed. Although Yang Xu in the middle was guarding, he could also shoot, but he missed the ball and wanted to miss Qu Bo who was inserted behind him. Qu Bo thought Yang Xu was going to shoot, but he didn't keep up and the ball went straight out of the sideline.

These two chances were replaced by Gao Xiaodong, but his teammates didn't even get a shot, which made Gao Xiaodong so angry that he stamped his feet.

Camacho on the sidelines was also furious and kept shouting on the sidelines.

The live commentator He Hui sighed repeatedly: "This offense is too eye-catching! I can't see it! Our national team seems to need at least two Xiaodongs, one attack and the other defense."

After these two attacks, Gao Xiaodong also understood how wise Fu Bo’s suggestion was. He should not have too high expectations for this group of pig teammates. He still had to take action against a strong team.

After that, Gao Xiaodong reduced the number of times he passed forward after getting the ball, and dribbled the ball forward and attracted defense, and opened up space for his teammates in the frontcourt before passing the ball.

During the halftime break, Jike obviously prepared to defend Gao Xiaodong, but Gao Xiaodong went back to play the midfielder and made his arrangement not work.

Gao Xiaodong took the ball to attack by himself, and the attack distance was too long and the goal was too far away. Iraq immediately used foul tactics to deal with Gao Xiaodong. He would rather give the Chinese team a free kick than let Gao Xiaodong enter the 30-meter defensive area.

Iraq was behind two goals, and the Australian referee also clearly had the intention of being inclined toward the home team. Many Iraqi pulls Gao Xiaodong and pretends to be invisible, and the yellow card move is just a free kick.
