1154 Virgo's Glory
After the start of the second half, the situation was no different from the first half, the Chinese team and the Japanese team attacked and defended each other, entangled with each other. No one has the upper hand, and no one has no chances.
This is a normal Asian Cup final.
What happened in the first fifteen minutes of the first half was abnormal.
However, the Japanese team is not too willing to accept the current normality, although they did not continue to concede goals, but they did not score either!
What's the point if you can't score?
They're two goals behind now!
Now it's the turn of the Chinese team not to be in a hurry.
Even if they are in a stalemate with Japan and do not score, the mentality of the players of the Chinese team is very good.
Because they're two goals ahead.
It doesn't matter if you don't score a single goal in this game.
So now when the Chinese team is in possession of the ball, they are not in a hurry to attack, they just pass the ball back and forth and run the position. In front of the Japanese opponent, they played a game of controlling the ball, but now no one dares to say that the Chinese team is making an axe in the class.
Even if it is an axe, the Japanese team is definitely not a class.
Compared to the first twelve minutes of this game, the situation is reversed.
The Chinese captain controlled the ball for time, was not in a hurry to move forward, and was not in a hurry to shoot.
The Chinese fans in the stands and in front of the TV were very happy.
And so the minutes passed.
Half of the second half passed in the blink of an eye, and the score was still 2:0, and the Chinese team was ahead.
The Japanese team finally couldn't sit still, and they abandoned their favorite style of ball control and began to play more simply and directly, opting more for wide crosses and long-range shots.
But in the eyes of Chinese fans, this is not a threat to the Chinese team's goal at all.
Because of the height of the Japanese forwards, receiving high balls and heading goals is really not what they are good at......
The starting striker of the Japanese team in this game is Shinji Okazaki, the main striker of the Japanese national team, who is only 1.74 meters tall, has a thin body, is not strong in confrontation, and has even worse heading ability.
The striker, who scored 15 goals for the Japanese national team in 2009 alone and was named the top scorer in world football that year, is now helpless in the face of the soccer ball that whizzes over his head......
There is a feeling of "having the intention to kill the thief, but not being able to return to the sky".
The Japanese team is also helpless to play like this, in terms of ball control tactics, the Chinese team's defense line is very tight, and it is difficult to find a breakthrough for a while, and time is like an hourglass, reminding the Japanese players of time and sand at any time, there is not much left.
Naturally, they didn't have the patience to organize the attack, and the end of the reluctance to organize the attack was to counterattack after the Chinese team broke the ball.
Keisuke Honda played in a midfield position in this game, and he is a forward with a strong scoring ability.
However, he was targeted by the Chinese team in the game, and Shinji Kagawa was also restricted.
These two of the best of the Japanese Overseas Legion have not been able to bring out their outstanding performances at the club.
Zaccheroni looked anxious on the sidelines, but he couldn't help it.
He can't solve the problem of glory.
He originally thought that coaching the Japanese team would be a relatively easy task, and it would not be a problem to qualify for the World Cup, and it would not be difficult to win the Asian Cup.
But who would have thought that the Chinese team in this year's Asian Cup would have glory!
The Japanese team that reached the final was like a kick on the iron plate.
Another five minutes passed.
Seventy-three minutes into the game, with about twenty minutes to go, the game is coming to an end.
The shouts of the Japanese fans in the stands became quieter and quieter, and it was clear that the Japanese fans had no hope of equalising the score.
The feeling is too torturous.
The Chinese fans, on the other hand, were so excited that they barely stopped singing.
The stands at the Khalifa Stadium turned into a chorus of red songs by Chinese fans.
"Singing the Motherland", "Red Flag Fluttering", "My Motherland", "I Love You China", "Yellow River Cantata", "March of the Volunteers", "Song of the Guerrillas", ......
They sang all these songs that they knew well.
In the song, the Chinese team's watch xiàn is getting better and better, while the Japanese team's table is getting worse and worse.
In the 79th minute, Liu Hong finally said the sentence that made many Chinese fans raise their eyebrows: "The game is about to go to the last ten minutes...... Time is running out for the Japanese team now!! ”
As soon as these words came out, there was a lot of applause and follow-up in front of the TV and on the Internet.
"Time is running out for the Japanese team!"
"Time is running out for the Japanese team!"
"Well said, time is running out for the Japanese team!"
"Damn, I didn't expect us to be able to say something like this to the Japanese team in our lifetime - there's not much time left for you!"
Bai Songyan, who was watching the game in front of the big screen in the back studio, also burst out laughing, and then looked up and laughed.
Anyway, this is the rear studio, so I don't worry about the gaffe being discovered.
"The Japanese team has to chase two goals in a row for the rest of the time, which is almost an impossible task!" Liu Hong continued.
※※※
In fact, a two-goal lead is enough to beat Japan and win the championship.
But Glory felt a little inadequate.
It's like having nine pictures under a Weibo, but if someone only has eight pictures, it will make Virgos feel unhappy......
And the glory happens to be ...... It's a Virgo.
So he was thinking about the question - should I add another one, make it whole? Make up a hat-trick......
He thought about the eighty-second minute, and finally made up his mind.
One more goal to end the game once and for all, so as not to make the Japanese think they have a chance.
So in the eighty-fifth minute, after passing the ball to his teammates for dozens of minutes, Rongguang suddenly didn't pass the ball.
He swerved around and shook off Endo, who was defending him.
Then dribble the ball to the Japanese penalty area.
The Japanese players tried every means to stop him, but they were unsuccessful.
When Rongguang broke through to the position of 30 meters, he suddenly made a sudden stop in the middle of running, opened the distance of the shot, and directly swung his leg on the spot, and shot the football with his right foot.
Although it was a sharp stop and swinging his leg on the spot, the kick shot by Rongguang was full of power and speed.
And this shot was very sudden, and Japanese goalkeeper Eiji Kawashima didn't expect Eiko to shoot directly at first.
When he saw the football flying towards the goal, he hurriedly took off into the air and pounced on the football.
It's too late.
The soccer ball drilled into the goal accurately!
3:0!
"Glory! Glory! Glory! Glory! Liu Hong excitedly kept shouting the name of glory. He vented all his feelings in this continuous shouting.
With five or six minutes left in the game, the Chinese team led by three goals, and there was no suspense in this game! It is absolutely impossible for the Japanese team to reverse the tables! They couldn't even try to drag the game into extra time!
※※※
When the football flew into the goal, a Japanese player collapsed directly on the turf on the pitch, covering his face with his hands.
Those Japanese players who did not fall to the ground also lowered their heads and were stunned.
They all know very well that this game is completely over.
The rest of the time, no matter how long the stoppage time is, becomes garbage time, meaningless......
They even want the game to be over so that they don't continue to lose themselves on the pitch.
It's just a luxury...... Doomed to be impossible. It's like they want to win the Asian Cup.
※※※
In the stands where Chinese fans gathered, the cheers were particularly loud when Rongguang had just scored.
But then the voice was much quieter.
But it's not because the fans of the Chinese team have become numb to Rongguang's consecutive goals, but because many Chinese fans are patronizing and wiping their tears in the stands and can't cheer......
Rongguang's goal in the 85th minute made them realize that the game was over and the Chinese team would be the champion. This is the first continental championship in the history of Chinese senior men's football.
The Chinese senior men's soccer team has only participated in the World Cup once and has not achieved any results. The Asian Cup has been participated in every time since the fifth edition, but the best results are only two runners-up.
They are always one step away from the championship.
And now, that step has been taken.
It was still the darkest and most desperate time in Chinese football, and it was stepped over.
Suddenly, the light exploded in the darkness and filled the entire world in an instant.
Many Chinese fans were in tears.
Zhang Shunfa was lying on the railing panting, and his son was running next to him with the national flag in his place.
His old face was already filled with tears.
Six years ago, he was in the Netherlands and witnessed the Chinese youth team win the World Youth Championships.
Six years later, he was in Qatar and witnessed the Chinese national team win the Asian Cup.
He felt extremely happy to be able to experience such a thing twice in his life, and he probably had no regrets in his life......
No, no, there are new goals.
Seeing the Chinese team's performance in the Asian Cup made him full of confidence in the next Chinese team's performance in the World Cup qualifiers.
He's now planning to go to Brazil to watch the World Cup!
For this reason, he decided to save money from now on.
※※※
In front of the Chinese coach and on the bench, everyone hugged each other.
Gao Hongbo, a person who usually looks shy and doesn't easily reveal his feelings, is also very excited now.
He and his assistant coach Fu Bo hugged each other tightly.
After working hard for more than a year, isn't this the result he wants to see?
He is full of confidence and hope for the next World Cup qualifiers. He even wished that the World Cup qualifiers would start quickly......
Brazil, I must lead this team to see it!
