The commentators from all over the world in the commentary seats were puzzled by the fact that the first shot of the game was completed by the Japanese team, and it stands to reason that this game should not be the Chinese team completely controlling the offensive and defensive rhythm of the game?

However, the Japanese team took advantage of the tee shot and the excellent passing ability at their feet to take the lead, which was really unexpected by many.

The head coach Gao Hongbo and the players on the field were a little unrelieved, but fortunately, goalkeeper Wang Xiaolei's attention was concentrated enough, and Keisuke Honda's shot was lifted out of the bottom line with one palm, and a huge exclamation broke out at the scene.

The emotions of the Japanese fans were obviously brought up by the offensive of the Japanese team, and the cheers once overwhelmed the Chinese fans.

Huang Jianxiang frowned and said: "The Japanese team did not control the ball in the backfield at the beginning of the game, but used its super ball control ability to deal with the Chinese team, it seems that the effect is still very good, I hope the Chinese team must pay attention in the next game, Japan can dominate Asian football in the past, there must be their commendable place......

The Japanese commentator was quite excited: "The Chinese team is strong, but our passing and control level is not bad, see?" Our smooth passing was very skillful and we were able to launch a dangerous attack! Come on! As long as we stick to our own style of play, we will definitely be able to win the game and let China get out! ”

"Before the game, we did underestimate the Japanese team, they have insisted on technical football for 20 years, in Chinese words, the skinny camel is bigger than the horse, even though China's rising stars seriously threaten Japan's living space, but as long as Japan insists on its own technical football, it can continue to play with the Chinese team in this final, and the outcome of the game is even more unpredictable, come on......"

The neutral commentator in the commentary seat said.

In the Asian Cup final without their country's participation, deep down I still hope that China and Japan will play a good game, preferably the kind that can't stop scoring goals at all.

Shinji Kagawa's corner kick was easily pushed out by Airo, and the football was picked up by the fullback Atsuto Uchida, who was standing 30 meters away from the Chinese team's goal, and the Japanese team was able to organize a second attack, but the defenders of the Chinese team pressed forward quickly, and Atsuto Uchida was also afraid that his pass would be broken, so he drove the ball directly to the Chinese team's penalty area again.

However, the Japanese players in the penalty area were afraid of offside, so they didn't stop to get the ball at all, and the football was easily obtained by Wang Xiaolei.

Next, the Chinese team organized the attack, and the Chinese fans in the stands shouted hoarsely three times: "Come on, Chinese team!" ”

The Chinese team's ball control ability is no worse than that of the Japanese team, and even stronger in local positions, because the main players of this national team, Ailuo, Gao Lin, Hao Junmin, Zhao Xuri, Chen Tao, and Feng Xiaoting, are all players who won the 2005 World Youth Championship in the Netherlands, and they cooperate very tacitly.

In the frontcourt attack, only one player is left at the front, and other offensive players have recycled to play in turns, making it very difficult for the Japanese team on the defensive end, but it is still impossible to break through the Japanese team's tightly arranged defensive system in the past few days, and it will take some time to adapt and crack.

As an Italian head coach, Zaccheroni is still very skilled.

Under his tutelage, this Japanese team not only has delicate foot skills, but also has high attainments in defense and counter-attack.

As a result, Zaccheroni sat back in the dugout five minutes into the game and did not sit on the sidelines to direct the game like Gao Hongbo.

Although he is also afraid of the offensive ability of the Chinese team, he also knows that it is useless to be jealous, the game is a matter for the players on the field, as the head coach, he has arranged everything before the game, what he needs to do is to pay attention to the defensive loopholes of the Japanese team and the loopholes of the Chinese team, and make targeted deployments when the time comes, so as to win the game in one fell swoop!

※※※

Both teams are good at possession, so the question arises, who is in control of the tempo on the pitch?

The answer, of course, is the Chinese team.

The Japanese team is skilled at their feet, but they have a fatal flaw, which is that they are far less physically than the Chinese players.

This flaw was not evident in the back-and-forth of the midfield, but as they reached the heart of the Chinese team, the players from both sides had to make physical contact.

And the referee of this game, Williams, is Australian, and his blowing style tends to be a Premier League referee, turning a blind eye to some physical contact.

Both sides are very possessive teams, so there will be a situation where the football is on one side and controls for a minute or two, which may be no problem for Chinese fans or Japanese fans, but for neutral fans, they are very speechless, they see the football rolling back and forth on the turf, and they can't see the opportunity to shoot at all, and they feel drowsy......

Huang Jianxiang of the commentary seat nodded and said for the core tactics of the Chinese team to control the game: "The characteristics of the Japanese team are also in the possession of the ball, the Chinese team should not be impatient, after all, this is the Asian Cup final, a little carelessness will cause irreparable losses to the entire situation, plus our ball control ability is stronger, as long as it continues, it will be the Japanese ......team that suffers."

The neutral commentator frowned and said: "Both teams are good at possession, but neither team creates a dangerous attack, just frequent foot passes, is that useful?" Let's be honest...... I want to sleep. ”

Fifteen minutes into the game, the broadcaster gave the ball possession ratio of both sides on the screen, and the Chinese team slightly led the Japanese team with 53% possession.

At this time, Iroh changed his previous slow tempo, suddenly accelerated the speed of handling the ball at his feet, and flicked the ball to the right with the outside instep in a daze.

Atsushi Uchida, who was paying attention to Ailo on the left side of the defense, didn't expect Ailo to suddenly change the rhythm, and by the time he reacted, it was too late, and Ailo's right instep was connected to the action of smashing the ball with his left foot to pass the ball to Gao Lin, who pulled out, who kept the ball to make the ball to Iro, who was pulling horizontally.

Iroh picked up his right foot directly in the lateral run to hit the goal, and the Japanese captain Makoto Hasebe did not hesitate to block sideways.

However, Iroh's kick was just an illusion, taking advantage of Hasebe's sideways turn and flicking the ball to the right to shake it at a wider angle.

There was a muffled "bang".

Central defender Yoshida Ma had already guessed that Ailo might fake a real shot, so he blocked it the moment Airo shot.

But...... What he didn't expect was that Iroh's shot was not flying up or down, but ...... In the half-high ball, the ball hits him directly in the lower part of the abdomen, which is the vital part.

However, no one paid attention to Maya Yoshida, or rather stayed for a few tenths of a second.

Maya Yoshida's blocking shot made Airo very unhappy, but then he saw the football flying over, he subconsciously kicked it, and shot directly from a distance without stopping the ball.

The shot was so sudden that goalkeeper Eiji Kawashima was stunned for a moment, but luckily he reacted quickly enough to fly sideways, but he didn't touch the football.

"--Eiji Kawashima!" The Japanese commentator exclaimed.

Football is in the hearts of all Japanese fans...... Fly out of the bottom line by grazing the right goal post.

Later, someone noticed Maya Yoshida, who was holding his abdomen and arching into a shrimp shape.

※※※

After Iro's acceleration just now, the Japanese team's defensive attention gradually leaned towards Iro, who showed signs of outbreak, making the space for other players gradually increase, especially Chen Tao, who played in the front midfield.

In this game, the Japanese team played a double back waist, namely Endo Baoren and Hasebe Makoto, of which Endo Baoren wanted to pay attention to Ailuo's running position at the defensive end, that is to say, only the captain Hasebe Makoto really defended in the middle, so Chen Tao often carried the ball to the middle of the sensitive position, which made the Japanese team's defensive formation forced to shrink.

As the Japanese team's formation shrank, the two wings also came out.

Coach Zaccheroni finally couldn't sit still, and he walked from the dugout to the sidelines and loudly reminded the players on the pitch to stand in their positions.

However, the Japanese players on the field were all focused on the game and did not pay attention to his reminder as the head coach at all.

However, the two wings of the Chinese team did not blindly start the ball frequently, even if Ailuo and Gao Lin have strong ability to rush to the top, they still control the ball at their feet, pass back and forth, and mobilize the defensive strength of the Japanese team.

Two minutes passed in this situation, and the patience of the Japanese players was almost exhausted.

In the 22nd minute, Chen Tao suddenly buckled the ball to the left about 35 meters away from the goal in the middle, and his body moved to the left.

Without the slightest hesitation, Endo pressed Ailo forward, who unhurriedly made the ball directly to Gao Lin, who was pulled to the top of the arc of the big penalty area.

In order to prevent Gao Lin from turning around, Yasuyuki Konno hugged Gao Lin with both hands behind him.

However, Gao Lin had no intention of turning around with the ball at all, and directly passed the ball to the left with the arch of his left foot with his back to the goal.

Atsuto Uchida stepped forward and forced left wing-back Jiang Zhipeng, who was about to get the ball.

"-Chance!" Huang Jianxiang shouted.

Similarly, Jiang Zhipeng did not stop the ball, he used the arch of his left foot to send the ball to the feet of Chen Tao, who attacked the left rib, and Endo Hohito and Hasebe Seito pounced on Chen Tao who took the ball one by one.

No one noticed that Arlo had slipped into the defensive ribs between Atsushi Uchida and Yasuyuki Konno taking advantage of the Chinese team's frequent passes.

As the main forward of the Chinese team, Chen Tao's ability to read the game and his vision are very strong, and he directly picks up the ball behind Endo on the tip of his right foot.

"-Oops." It was at this moment that Endo realized that he had made the mistake of watching the ball and not looking at the people......
