Chapter 171: The Top of Asia Is Not Far Away (Part 2)
In the 76th minute of the game, the Chinese team made a substitution, Jiang Chenxi was replaced, and Gao Lin came on as a substitute.
Pei Lan replaced Jiang Chenxi at this time, on the one hand, to let Jiang Chenxi leave the game to rest, and also just in case, if the UAE lost in a hurry at the last moment of the game and Jiang Chenxi was injured due to a bad foul, Pei Lan would have no place to cry.
In addition, replacing Jiang Chenxi at this time can also allow Jiang Chenxi to accept the cheers and applause of the Chinese fans on the scene in advance.
In the stands of Canberra Stadium, all the fans of the Chinese team stood up and applauded and cheered for Jiang Chenxi.
Back on the bench, Jiang Chenxi and his teammates high-fived one by one, and then took the water handed over by the Chinese coach Li Xiaopeng, and after thanking him, he sat on the bench.
chose to replace Jiang Chenxi after more than 70 minutes of the game, and it is obvious that in Peilan's view, the Chinese team, which is leading 3-0, has already won the game.
And judging from the situation on the field, the Emiratis are demoralized when they are behind by a large score, and they do not have the possibility of turning the tables.
However, everyone, including the head coach of the Chinese team, Perrin, did not expect that at the last moment of the game, the Iranian referee Fagani would steal the show.
……
In the 81st minute of the game, Omar was pulled to the ground by Zhang Linpeng when he broke through, and referee Fagani awarded a penalty.
This caused an outcry from the Chinese players, because although Omar fell in the box, the foul was committed outside the box.
However, referee Fagani insisted on his decision and showed a yellow card to the emotional Chinese goalkeeper Wang Dalei.
"The foul was committed outside the penalty area, and Fagani's decision was a serious misjudgment!" He Wei said emotionally.
'Gulf Messi' Omar converted the penalty he created, 1-3, and the Emiratis pulled one back.
The goal was a morale boost for the UAE, who regained hope of a comeback.
In addition, the most important thing is that Jiang Chenxi was replaced, which made the UAE players feel that the big stone pressing on their bodies has been removed, and they now finally have a trace of courage to fight.
……
The UAE people pressed hard, and the oppressed Chinese team was a little breathless.
In the 86th minute of the game, UAE player Amir suddenly shot a long shot, Wang Dalei pounced, and UAE striker Harir scored a supplementary shot.
The Chinese players raised their hands at the same time, signaling that Harriel, who scored the supplementary shot, was offside.
However, referee Faghani did not think so, and he signaled that the goal was valid.
This caused strong dissatisfaction among the players of the Chinese team, if it were not for the captain Zheng Zhen who had not lost his cool and suppressed the anger of his teammates very well, it would have been difficult for a player to be sent off for a red card for colliding with the referee.
In the final moments of the game, the Emiratis leveled the score at 2-3!
The Chinese fans in front of the TV were stunned.
At the same time, the flames of anger burned in the hearts of the fans.
If the UAE is a person who scores two goals in a row with real skills, Chinese fans will only admit that their team's performance is bad, and they will habitually scold the performance of the Chinese team, but it is clear that both of the UAE's goals are problematic: one is a non-existent penalty, and the other is that the goal is suspected of offside.
Slow-motion replays of the UAE's goal.
"It was indeed offside, at the moment of Amir's long-range shot, Harrier was offside by half a body, but neither the referee nor the linesman said anything about this offside, Iranian Fagani thinks the goal is valid!" He Wei was no longer able to complain.
……
The Chinese fans in front of the TV are worried, they have a bad premonition, can they be overturned by the Emirates when they are leading 3-0?!
Jiang Chenxi was replaced, at this difficult moment, can anyone in the Chinese team stand up?!
No one knows the answer.
Until three minutes later.
In the 89th minute of the game, Sun Ke's breakthrough won a well-positioned free kick for the Chinese team.
Chinese midfielder Hao Junmin took a free kick and flew into the net with a wonderful arc around the human wall!
Four to two!
The Chinese team once again stretched the score to a two-goal lead!
"Beautiful! Hao Junmin! Pretty! This ball is so timely and too critical! Four to two! This is a goal that stabilizes the morale of the army! ”
There was jubilation in the coach's bench and bench of the Chinese team, and Jiang Chenxi jumped up from the bench and applauded Hao Junmin's direct free kick score.
He was really happy.
Even happier than he scored on his own.
Jiang Chenxi knows that if the Chinese team wants to progress and improve, it is not enough to rely on himself, and it requires the efforts of the whole team.
The head coach of the Chinese team, Pei Lan, is also excited, now when Jiang Chenxi is not on the field, Hao Junmin's goal is too timely, this is not only the stability of the military spirit of this game, but also in a sense, it will also make the whole team more confident, without Jiang Chenxi, they can also score, this is not to deny the role of Jiang Chenxi, but this is the need of the team, the players always put hope and confidence in a certain player, this is not a healthy development, a team with more confidence in the heart, It is very important for the later development.
……
The Chinese team once again pulled the score away, and this conceded goal was a great blow to the morale of the United Arab Emirates.
Although Iranian referee Faghani then gave five minutes of stoppage time, the Emirati had little fighting spirit.
In the end, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game.
China beat the UAE 4-2 in the semi-finals of the 2015 Asian Cup in Australia to reach the final of the Asian Cup, where they will face arch-rivals South Korea.
After the whistle blew at the end of the game, the substitutes and coaches of the Chinese team rushed onto the pitch to celebrate with their teammates about reaching the final.
CCTV's commentators He Wei and Duan Xuan were completely excited and couldn't help themselves.
"It's over! The game is over! We won! We reached the final of the Asian Cup! Four to two! Well done, boys of the Chinese team! Good look, Jiang Chenxi, good look, Wu Lei, good look Hao Junmin, good look Wang Dalei, good look Zheng Zhen, good look ......" Duan Xuan was very excited, he praised every player in the Chinese team.
"After eleven years! It's been eleven years! We reached the final of the Asian Cup! Duan Xuan was roaring, "Eleven years ago, we lost the championship at home, and eleven years later, we reached the final again in distant Australia!" He Wei was very excited, "In January in Australia, it is summer, the grass grows and the warbler flies, and the running kangaroos are very cute, but now, the cutest is the young man of the Chinese team!" We're back! Final! Here we go! The humiliation at home eleven years ago, this time, we have the opportunity to wash it with our own hands, and the Koreans are waiting for us in the final, waiting for us! Come on China! Come on! The feeling of being on top of Asia, this time, we really want to touch and feel! ”
