This is the end of the South Korean team's Asian Cup journey, and both teams on the Korean Peninsula died at the feet of the same opponent, and there was no resistance at all. The South Korean team, which did everything possible to kill the Chinese team before the game, was eliminated by the Chinese team in a daze without any way in the game.

It's really tragic to die. The smoke of the game is over, but the post-match argument has only just begun.

The South Koreans cited a whole bunch of evidence for their team that the Chinese team was taken care of by the referee.

In particular, Ji Chengyong's two falls for no reason were taken out by the Koreans to make a big fuss.

The Koreans also invited many experts to discuss this matter, and in the end, an expert who is proficient in yin and yang gossip pointed out that Ji Chengyong was pointed out by Liu Hao, so he couldn't afford to fall, and Liu Hao must have used dirty tricks.

Then, the expert also demonstrated the unique skill of the acupoint in front of the reporter, and finally the reporter collapsed on the spot.

"Points? If Liu knows this, he should be a world martial arts champion, not a professional footballer. Their ability to play right and wrong is far more powerful than playing football, I don't know why Ji Chengyong suddenly fell, anyway, the referee didn't blow, Liu continued to run forward, and his skills were inferior to others and began to make excuses, this is their consistent behavior, fortunately, this year's Asian Cup is not held in South Korea! Pei Lan didn't believe that the game would be so evil, he supported Liu Hao, "A 1.87 meter player can't prevent a 1.68 meter player is already very shameful, and there are still people who make such an excuse to explain, I really can't understand, if it's so magical, the 11 people don't all fall, and everyone in the Chinese player learns this trick, so do you still use the game?" Especially when defending in the big penalty area, do you still use tired and tired defense? Haha, what a joke! ”

"If there is no Liu Hao. The Chinese team will definitely lose! ”

"How can the general of the defeated army be brave!" Perrin scoffed even more, "I just heard sour jealousy, if it weren't for Zidane, France wouldn't have won the World Cup, is that what it means?" The grapes are so sour! Is the Chinese team without Liu still a Chinese team? That's! Remember, he's the top scorer in this Asian Cup so far! We have top scorers, how can we not win the game? ”

Liu Hao currently has five goals and is at the top of the scorer list, followed by Japanese Keisuke Honda and Shinji Okazaki. Three goals apiece. His chances of winning the top scorer are still quite good, and Spinach puts his odds first. Of course, it can be seen that the attack power of the Japanese is also quite terrifying, the two main strikers have scored 3 goals, these two guys are mixed in AC Milan and Mainz in the Bundesliga, at least a continental striker.

If the Chinese team can go further in the semi-finals, then Liu Hao's goal may be improved, and even if he doesn't score, he will temporarily lead by two goals.

Does the top scorer matter? What Liu Hao cares about is the Asian Cup champion. And not personal honor. There's nothing better than bringing home an Asian Cup title to the fans.

In an interview with the Spanish newspaper As, Liu Hao said bluntly: "Group honor is always more important than individual honor, of course, if you get group honor, you will get individual honor." That was the perfect ending, top scorer? It would be great if his goal could help his national team qualify. Of course, I would give credit to my teammates and staff for all these accolades. Without their contributions, I wouldn't have this opportunity, everyone knows. I'll just shoot ......"

"Then shouldn't you also thank Ji Chengyong and other opponents? They also lent out your goals. ”

"This ...... It's too hurtful......" Liu Hao smiled, there are indeed a few goals that are gifts from the other party, if you want to thank you, in fact, you should be, but do you still let people live?

Ji Chengyong still doesn't know how he died, and he died in a blur with the Korean team, and he may not be able to think about it until now. Later, the No. 14 who followed him actually had a lot of ideas, but in the end he was helpless.

In the next game against the top four opponents, maybe the opponent will not have any good way.

The match between Iran and Iraq was played in the twilight. The final result was 2:2, and there was no achievement in extra time, and Iraq narrowly passed the penalty shootout and reached the semi-finals. Liu Hao sat in front of the TV and watched the whole game, although Iran is not as strong as before, it is still as stable as ever!

It will be the opponent of the Chinese team in the semi-finals! Liu Hao's heart chuckled.

Old rivals!

It is also one of the most hated opponents of the Chinese team.

It's the Asian Cup semi-finals again.

The last time they faced off, it was in the semi-finals of the Asian Cup held in China in 2004, and the two sides drew 1:1 in 90 minutes, without scoring in extra time, and in the penalty shootout, Liu Yunfei of the Chinese team saved the opponent's fifth penalty, and finally won the game 4:3.

It's a pity that the hero of the year, Liu Yunfei, has already left the green field because of drug abuse.

The game between the Chinese team and the Iranian team has always been more negative and less winning, and the loss is a nest. The two teams have met 15 times, with four draws in regulation time, three wins in regulation time and three losses in regulation time......

The games won are all small wins, and when they are lost, they are often lost by a large score, so Iran is really one of the most feared opponents of the Chinese team in Asia, second only to South Korea.

In particular, the 4-goal rout at home and away in the 97 World Cup qualifiers has always been an eternal pain in the hearts of fans!

No, the enemies have finally gathered again.

Although Liu Hao had always hoped that the 2007 Asian Cup champion Iraq could kill its neighbor Iran and let the Chinese team meet a relatively unafraid opponent, but in the end he still ran into his old enemy Iran, and if he wanted to enter the finals, he had to fight to the end with the Iranian team!

In the top ten of the 97 World Cup qualifiers, Liu Haogang was in his third year and witnessed the defeat of the Chinese team, especially the one at home, which is still the most impressive game for him.

Asian Legend Ali. Day, Bageri, and 20-year-old Madavecchia, these three demonic characters were really ridiculously strong at that time, and it was desperate to watch......

On September 13, 1997, China lost 2:4 to Iran at home. If the history of Chinese football can be rewritten, it is estimated that everyone wants to rewrite this game the most!

Two minutes before the end of the first half, captain Fan Zhiyi took the lead with a controversial penalty. In the 54th minute, Li Ming received a pass from Sun Jihai and scored a beautiful goal with a volley. The Chinese team's offensive began to ebb, and there were repeated holes in the backline. Soon after, Bagherry pulled a point back from the penalty spot, and in the 68th minute, Madavecchia thwarted the interception of four Chinese defenders and fired to equalize the score.

Sixteen minutes later, the 20-year-old Madavecchia's long-range shot from 35 meters out left Ou Chuliang powerless. In the 87th minute, Modilos faced the ball that rebounded from the Chinese team, volleyed, and penetrated Ou Chuliang's door for the fourth time......

Memories are tears!

Although they did not experience defeat like Hao Haidong and Ma Mingyu, the fans sitting in front of the TV also felt the same way. The pain is unbearable.

Everyone really didn't feel much about the meeting between China and Iran in 2004, but when it comes to those two qualifiers in '97, it's a nightmare!

"Iran, the natural enemy of the Chinese team!" After Iran won from the quarterfinals, Liu Hao exclaimed, with an inexplicable fear of Iran in his heart, "In the face of this nightmare team, can we continue to win?" ”

Someone has counted if China and Iran play six games. Then the Chinese team's results should be one win, one draw and four losses...... It looks scary, but the number is history, and it is all used to break, which does not mean that the Chinese team is more than lucky in this Asian Cup.

"We're in a relationship with Iran. What is our win rate? Liu Hao asked again, he couldn't believe that Hao Haidong and Huang Jianxiang could sit so calmly, so they didn't express some opinions? Can you be so calm against Iran?

"......" Huang Jianxiang only glanced at Liu Hao with disdain when he heard Liu Hao's question. Didn't speak.

Liu Hao really doesn't understand what he means, isn't Iran worth everyone's concern?

He looked at Hao Haidong again, wanting to see what the head of the Football Association thought. He was the main striker who experienced that game firsthand. Could it be that he has amnesia and is really not afraid of Iran at all?

It stands to reason that even if Hao Haidong is calm, he will be a little worried.

However, no, the eyes that Hao Haidong gave him were similar to Huang Jianxiang's, and they were all extremely disdainful.

"Fake fans!" Hao Haidong is still more patient than Huang Jianxiang, "Are you sure I am playing with Iran?" ”

"How not? It's just playing with Iran......" Liu Hao scratched his head, I don't know why, if you don't play with Iran, can you still play with the defeated Iraq? Even if we play against Iraq, we won't necessarily win.

"Dongzi, let's popularize the knowledge of the Asian Cup with him, so as not to be laughed at when I say it, cough cough." Huang Jianxiang couldn't stand it anymore, so he proposed to build a yì for Hao Haidong.

"Boy, our opponent is not Iran, I would rather be against Iran, at least Iran doesn't look as strong as before......" Hao Haidong blackened his face and began to popularize the knowledge of the Asian Cup to him.

Liu Hao has always thought that after the Chinese team enters the semi-finals, it will play against the winners of Iran and Iraq, and after listening to Hao Haidong's words, cold sweat immediately oozed from his forehead.

It's not about Iran, it's not about Iraq, it's about ...... Did the winner of Japan and the UAE play? The winners of Japan and the UAE, if you think about it with your heels, you know that it was Japan that won.

This game has to be played tomorrow!

"I understand......" Liu Hao nodded, indeed, he would rather play with Iran than play the semifinals with Japan! No wonder the faces of the two of them have always been very calm, and they don't care that Iran is out of the knockout round, it turns out that Iran is not the opponent of the Chinese team at all!

I can wipe it! It hurt Lao Tzu to think so many things in his heart just now, and he pulled so much hatred with Iran, and so many brain cells died in vain!

Compared to the Japanese team, the Iranian team is really nothing......

"In that case, we can only think about playing against Japan." Liu Hao, and then began to think about the Japanese team again. The Japanese team, the pinnacle of Asia, the strongest, the world's second-rate ......

This Japanese team is not the same Japanese team in last year's Four Nations Invitational Tournament, this team is star-studded, and the Japanese team that participated in the World Cup finals last year is only strong but not weak, and another group of new forces have added to the strength of the Japanese team, which is simply a BT team.

Although Liu Hao was jealous and disgusted with the Japanese, he never denied the strength of the Japanese players.

Against any team in Asia, the hope of winning is quite big, but against the Japanese team with super BT possession, the prospect of the Chinese team is really full of suspense, and they can't even get the ball, how to make fouls. Just like the first game against Saudi Arabia in the group stage, the Chinese team also wanted to make fouls, but they couldn't get the ball, so they could only YY.

Saudi Arabia is so difficult to deal with, isn't Japan even more difficult to deal with?

Football has always been a sport of 11 people, and if the other 10 people fall, the remaining person will not be able to play the other person even if he is God.

Therefore, Liu Hao's face was also as cold as frost, and he couldn't lift his spirits.

"For today's plan, it still depends on Perrin to come up with some kind of excerpt. I'm an old bone, I can only watch everyone play. Hao Haidong smiled bitterly, although he was the head of the house, he couldn't help a little on the field, and he could only rely on how Pei Lan commanded the game.

"Dongzi, even if you are ten years younger, you can't ...... against this Japanese team" Huang Jianxiang struck, "Real swords and real guns to fight with the Japanese, the disadvantage we are in is very obvious, the key is how to destroy the Japanese attack." Then you have to rely on Liu Hao...... Of course, the difficulty of defense has also increased a lot, and the Japanese attack is absolutely unstoppable. ”

However, the Chinese team has reached the semi-finals. Even if they lose the semi-finals, the leaders and fans should not scold this team, the results are here, just like a sentence often on the lips of Chinese fans: You can do it - the Japanese team is too strong. It's normal to lose. At this time, Huang Jianxiang had already begun to find an excuse for Hao Haidong to lose and comfort him.

The task of the Chinese team in this Asian Cup is to strive for the group qualification and reach the quarterfinals. Now that we have entered the semi-finals, we have already overfulfilled the task, and the game is also very good-looking, everyone can have greater expectations, but the Chinese team should not be blamed, especially the strongest Japanese team? Huang Jianxiang is not wrong to think so.

"Lao Huang, no matter how strong the Japanese team is, in the eyes of the Chinese people, it will also be fought for! When you play against the Japanese, you can't think about losing from the beginning, this is determined by national hatred, and you must resist Japan and do everything you can to resist Japan. Moreover, there is a saying that if you are drunk and carnal, this is in the semi-finals, of course I want to enter the finals! Hao Haidong did not hide the thoughts in his heart, he walked to the door of the finals, who doesn't want to go in and play, this is human nature, where is the reason to retreat.

"Ming'er organized everyone to watch the match between the Japanese team and the United Arab Emirates, so that everyone could see how people played, whether they had the confidence to win or not, and whether they had the courage to kill each other was another! Fight with devils, do you need to say? ”

※※※※

The devil's game is in the same location as the Chinese team, both at Canberra Stadium, so the Chinese team is equivalent to watching the game at home.

The stadium was packed, and the Japanese were in the majority.

It can also be seen from this that the Japanese fans in Australia are definitely terrible, and they will not be less than the Chinese team. Once the matchup is really realized in a few days, fans on both sides will have to have a big battle.

The Chinese team did not shy away from sitting in the stands, and all the players and coaching staff came to watch the game.

The game was miserable.

The UAE is also a strong team, but in front of the all-main Japanese team, it is not vulnerable at all.

In the eighth minute of the opening game, Milan striker Keisuke Honda scored the first goal.

In the nineteenth minute, partner Shinji Okazaki scored the second goal.

In the 37th minute, Shinji Kagawa, a former midfielder, scored the third goal.

In the first half, 3-0 ended the trip to the Asian Cup in advance for the United Arab Emirates, and there was no suspense in the ending, just a few wins.

Hao Haidong asked everyone to watch the whole game, because the Chinese team may also fall behind by one or two goals in the first half, if so, then what should the Chinese team do?

Although the UAE fell behind by a large score, they still attacked aggressively in the second half.

However, the Japanese firmly controlled the ball at their feet, and although the UAE attack was crazy, it allowed the Japanese team to score two more goals! While maintaining a strong defense, the Japanese are not inferior in attack at all!

The two main strikers scored another goal each in the second half, and both drew with Liu Hao by 5 goals in the scorer list! Quite a terrible attack power!

"Damn, I really don't let people live!" After watching the game, Liu Hao scolded that this was the first time he watched the game of the Japanese team.

"We must scrap the two of them...... "Defense general Zhang Linpeng said directly, the opponent's striker is so violent, it seems that he can do this.

"Shinji Kagawa is also terrible, and he will have to be abolished when the time comes!" The midfielders gave similar advice.

The senses brought by the Japanese to the Chinese players are too shocking......

Everyone has this idea in their hearts more or less, that is, they want the other party to get injured and end up.

"But even if it were, would we be able to win the game?" Li Tie sat in the middle of a group of players and suddenly spoke. He's a defensive player and a manager, and when you think so, he's understandable, "The defense can do it, but what about the offense? You have to find a way to score goals! ”

Yes...... And get a goal!

Li Tie's words were like pouring a plate of cold water. Everyone was thinking about how to defend against the Japanese, but they didn't think about how to break the Japanese offense and defense, and then find a way to score.

How to defend, how to attack. These are all questions that Perrin has to think about carefully, and he will have to ponder these things in the next few days.

After the Japanese qualified, they naturally had to face the problems of the Chinese team.

A Japanese news reporter asked Shinji Kagawa, "If you defend Liu Hao?" ”

"It's not difficult to defend Liu Hao, just defend the remaining 10 players, and we will use the ball to completely contain them in the half!" Shinji Kagawa said quite confidently! (To be continued......)
