The national football team has a long face, the six-a-side World Cup draws with France, the goalkeeper saves six times in a row, and the director repeats the joke of 1950
On June 6, 2023, Beijing time, Essen, Germany, ushered in the second round of Group C of the 6-a-side Small Field Football World Cup, with France playing against Shijiazhuang Fumei, who represented China. In the previous first round, France beat Kuwait 10-0 to occupy the top spot in Group C. China also performed well, conceding two goals in the opening game, and drew 2-2 with Latvia in the second place in the group. This match is also a key match in the group stage and is directly related to the qualification situation of Group C.
After the opening, the Chinese team learned the lesson of conceding two goals in the last game against Latvia, did not rush into the attack, but hoarded heavy troops in the backfield, and actively slowed down the pace when holding the ball. This trick can be said to have worked wonders, making the French team very uncomfortable, and the possession rate of the ball cannot be translated into effective shots. The Chinese team, on the other hand, was extremely efficient, breaking the deadlock on the field with just one shot. In the 11th minute of the game, Wu Yuchang in the box received a cross from his teammate and pushed with his foot, breaking the French team's ten finger barrier and helping China take a 1-0 lead.
It is worth mentioning that the broadcaster actually subconsciously counted the goal on the French team, and only made changes after a long time, this scene is also reminiscent of the British media that made a joke about "England 10-1 America" at the 1950 World Cup. Perhaps, the on-site director did not expect that the first side to score would be China, right?
After conceding the goal, the French team changed its tactical strategy on the field and used more aerial work in attack. And the Chinese team can force the French team to give up the foot ball that they are good at to a certain extent, which is very successful. However, shortly after the start of the second half, China could not withstand the French attack, and was broken through by a long-range shot from a free kick by Omar, and the score was changed to 1-1.
After the equaliser, the French team took the absolute advantage on the field, launched a siege of the Chinese team's hinterland, and the opponent's quick shot caused chaos in the Chinese team's penalty area many times, and created several threatening shots. However, Xinjiang goalkeeper Hasmujiang has repeatedly made wonderful saves, making the French team return again and again. Throughout the game, Hasmujian saved six shots from France on target, and his performance on the goal line was very explosive.
With Hasmujiang blocking France's small-angle volley, the game was over, and thanks to Wu Yuchang's opening goal and tenacious defense throughout the game, China drew 1-1 with France, the strongest opponent in the group. According to the rules of the competition, the 10 best third places in the group can advance to the knockout stage after the group stage, so with only one round left in the group stage and the opponent is Kuwait, the weakest player in the group, the qualification situation of the Chinese team is very optimistic, and it is not completely impossible to advance to the knockout stage as the top two in the group.
