In this campaign, the national football team played away from home, with a very low posture and very appropriate tactics, that is, to defend the counterattack steadily, first do a good job of defense, start defending from Baihelam, and then try to play a high-quality counterattack. In the 11th minute of the game, Zhang Yuning got a single chance, but unfortunately he didn't get up and missed a great opportunity to break the deadlock on the field. In this campaign, the national football team played very hard and was not creative, but the defense was still very powerful. Bahrain accounted for 70% of the possession, but there were few shots on goal, which further shows that the defensive arrangement of the national football team was very successful. At the same time, the national football team also had good luck, Bahrain's goal was blown by VAR as an offside position, and the national football team assisted Zhang Yuning to score a goal by Wang Haijian. The national football team experienced from hell to heaven, red three minutes, defeated Bahrain 1-0 away, won two consecutive wins in the round of 18, took away three precious points, and the ranking of Group C also rose to fourth, and the World Cup became no longer out of reach.
Full game,Bahrain managed 71% possession and a total of 6 shots on goal, 1 less than the national team, and Bahrain had only 1 shot on target, 2 fewer than the national team。 Group C of the top 18 is actually "rookie pecking each other" except for Japan, everyone has a chance, and the national football team is very good. Looking at it now, it is a pity that the national football team was beaten 1-2 by 10-man Saudi Arabia at home.
