The starting line-ups of both sides were shown on the TV screen.

"The game has started and we're talking to you about the starting line-ups for today." He Wei said.

Chinese team lineup: 23-Wang Dalei; 3-Meng Fang, 2-Ren Hao, 5-Zhang Linpeng, 17-Zhang Zhangdong; 10-Zheng Zhen, 15-Wu Xi; 11-Hao Junmin, 7-Wu Lei, 21-Yu Hai, 9-Jiang Chenxi.

"The starting line-up of the Chinese team is exactly the same as the starting lineup in the previous quarter-final against Australia."

'Obviously, manager Perrin was very happy with the performance of the starting eleven in that game.

UAE line-up: 1-Al-Nasser; 14-Sancol, 6-Sallin, 23-Gharib, 3-Abbas; 16-Abdulrahman, 13-Ismail, 5-Amir; 10 - Omar; 7 - Ali Mabhat, 11 - Hariel.

"Among the UAE's starters, the Chinese defenders need to pay special attention to one person, their number 10 Omar, who has the nickname Messi in the Gulf, is the most dangerous player in the UAE team."

Omar was born in 1991 and is known as the "Messi of the Gulf". It is not easy for him to get today's honor, Omar comes from a nomadic tribe in Yemen, because of his father, their whole family moved to Riyadh, Omar's childhood also came from this place, Omar once joined the echelon of Hilal in his youth, but due to nationality issues, they did not finally carry out the next step of cooperation. Later, the UAE club Al Ain promised to give their entire family Emirati citizenship on the condition that Omar would play for Al Ain for life, and Omar's football career began to get on the right track.

At the 2012 London Olympics, the 21-year-old Omar was in almost everyone's eyes in the most dazzling way.

At London 2012, the 21-year-old Omar showed his all-powerful talent at the birthplace of modern football. Uruguayan star Luis Suarez approached him to exchange shirts, and Manchester United legend Ryan Giggs made a special trip to the UAE team's dressing room to give him a shirt.

Immediately after the Olympics, Premier League giants Manchester City invited him to try out, during which his performance was praised by then-manager Roberto Mancini, who also said, "Omar is a very talented young player, we will always follow him and see how he grows".

However, due to the low FIFA ranking of the UAE national team, Omar was unable to obtain a British labour certificate, which also prevented Omar from joining Manchester City.

However, that doesn't stop other clubs from continuing their frantic pursuit of the footballing talent. Arsenal, Barcelona, Borussia Dortmund, Schalke 04, Malaga and other teams have expressed interest in him.

In the UAE national team, Omar has also made the team a force to be reckoned with in Asia. Having won the 2013 Gulf Cup and having eliminated Japan in the quarter-finals of the Asian Cup, Omar is the UAE's number one star.

……

Before the match with the Chinese team, the media and fans of the UAE still had certain expectations for the UAE team, and Omar was their confidence.

When looking forward to this game, the official website of the AFC said that this is a showdown between Messi and Jiang Chenxi.

Some media in West Asia, especially in the United Arab Emirates, have an opinion that Omar is not much worse than Jiang Chenxi, just because Omar has been playing in the UAE domestic league and has not played in the top European leagues, so his influence is not as good as Jiang Chenxi.

They also analysed the reasons why Omar didn't play for a big team in Europe's top leagues.

At the club level, Al Ain is full of strength and does not need to sell Omar for operating funds, and the team has always wanted to hit the AFC Champions League and Club World Cup, so there is no reason to let go of their number one star.

In terms of personal treatment, Al Ain Omar can get an after-tax salary of about 3.75 million euros, and counting various bonuses, his annual after-tax income is almost 5 million euros. If you go to Europe, no matter how sincere the other party is, it is impossible to offer such a high contract to an Asian player with no experience in European professional football.

Therefore, although Omar is not as famous as Jiang Chenxi, 'Gulf Messi' has good strength and can completely wrestle with Jiang Chenxi.

……

The stands resounded with cheers from Emirati fans.

Slow-motion replays Omar's stunt.

Yes, CCTV commentator He Wei described Omar's passing just now as a show off.

This is the ninth minute of the game, Omar got the ball in the midfield, his beautiful foot dialed the ball, and then hidden knock the ball back, and finally knocked lightly with his heel, the football passed through the small door of the Chinese midfielder Cai Huikang, and then Omar deftly twisted his waist to break through, and then poked with his toe again, and the football passed through the small door of the charter that came up to intercept, and then the captain of the Chinese team, Zheng Zhen, was forced to make a tactical foul and pushed Omar, who fell to the ground in response.

Iranian referee Faghani showed Zheng Zhen a yellow card.

This caused dissatisfaction on the part of the Chinese team.

'It was a foul, but it was just a push, it wasn't big, and Omar wasn't in the danger zone, so the yellow card was debatable.' Duan Xuan was also very dissatisfied with the referee Fagani's decision.

Omar got up from the ground and smiled smugly when he saw the 'angry' Chinese player.

In this game, Omar has an idea, or a great plan, he wants to tell the world that he is no worse than Jiang Chenxi, and the biggest gap between him and the world footballer is just because of the different platforms, if he also chooses to play in the top European giants, he may do better than Jiang Chenxi.

And just this time, he did deliberately show off his skills, otherwise, he was confident that with his ability, he would have broken through faster and more effectively and launched an attack with the ball.

Omar raised his head slightly, slightly proud, and looked at Jiang Chenxi.

However, the latter seemed to notice his gaze, then glanced at him coldly, and ignored it.

Omar was upset.

……

Omar was indeed angered by Jiang Chenxi, Suarez took the initiative to exchange jerseys with him, and Giggs took the initiative to visit him in the dressing room in the United Arab Emirates, Jiang Chenxi ignored him so much?!

He thought Jiang Chenxi was too arrogant.

When the game resumed, Omar appeared more active.

He showed his skill with his feet over and over again to the fans and spectators.

This player, who has the nickname of 'Gulf Messi', does have good strength, the dribbling is very good, and the flickering and moving in a small space really has a bit of Messi's style.

However, Omar seems to have been too keen to show his skills and breakthroughs, and although he has been able to put in a series of brilliant performances, he has not been able to help the UAE create too many good chances on goal.

Of course, the UAE seem to have the initiative on the field, and it seems that the UAE attack is still relatively fierce.

But that didn't lead them to the score.

Their massive pressure was met with a huge emptiness at the back.

In the 21st minute of the game, the Chinese team instigated a threatening attack, Wu Lei passed the ball from the side, the UAE defender cleared the ball with a header, and Omar, who came back to respond, took the initiative to ask for the ball.

The Chinese team immediately launched a counterattack, Zhang Dong made a long pass, Jiang Chenxi, who received in front, stretched out his long legs and parked the ball, and then just when UAE defender Gharib thought he would continue to dribble the ball, Jiang Chenxi took a long shot with his legs!

The long-range shot was so sudden that not only Garibu did not react, but even the UAE goalkeeper Nassr did not react, and he watched as the football drilled into the far corner of the goal!

The ball is in!

The Chinese team leads the UAE 1:0!
