Chapter 321 Enter the Semi-Finals!

Vietnamese fans were very dissatisfied with the performance of the Vietnamese team.

They were looking forward to the quarter-finals in Vietnam, but they didn't understand why the game was different from what was reported in the news. It was difficult for them to accept the situation being suppressed by Hong Kong, China, and the lead by Hong Kong.

In the stands, Vietnamese fans began to shout dissatisfied.

If you don't know Vietnam and don't understand Vietnamese, it's really hard to know what the Vietnamese fans are expressing, but the Vietnamese players on the field know that it's a shout of dissatisfaction against them.

The dissatisfied voices of Vietnamese fans also had a little impact on Vietnamese players.

The Vietnamese players on the field are actually working very hard. In the rare Asian Cup quarter-finals, they have no reason not to be serious.

Every Vietnamese player hopes to perform well and help the team to defeat the opponent. They are close to the semi-finals who have created the history of Vietnamese football. As far as they are concerned, the game that the whole of Asia pays attention to is also a rare stage where they can show their abilities. If they can perform well, they will definitely receive more attention, so there is no reason for them not to play seriously.

Now I can't play an advantage for a while, mainly because the opponent's performance is too good.

The performance of this Chinese Hong Kong team is too surprising. They have been working hard to fight, but they feel that there seems to be a gap in the capabilities of the two sides.

It's not that there is a gap between Hong Kong, China and them, but on the contrary, there is a gap between them and Hong Kong, China!

This feeling surprised them.

The current opponent is only Hong Kong, China. How could it be possible that the last Asian players are stronger than them and cooperate better? How can they be suppressed? The Vietnamese players felt incredible, but they could only suppress their confusion and continue to devote themselves to the game.

In the 35th minute, Vietnam coach Riddle saw that the team could not play an advantage for a long time and made adjustments. He replaced a striker with a central midfielder.

The purpose of Riedel's adjustment is obviously to strengthen the control and competition in the midfield, so as to open up the situation from the middle.

The Vietnamese media are still looking forward to Riddle's adjustment.

In fact, the Vietnamese media and fans highly recognized Riddle's ability to lead the team, because Riedel led Vietnam to the quarter-finals. Created the best result in the history of Vietnamese football.

Vietnam's performance in the group stage has been outstanding. Even if they lose this game and only enter the quarter-finals, Vietnam has also created a new history of football. Vietnamese media and fans should be satisfied with Vietnam's results, but because they met Hong Kong, China in the quarter-finals, a team that seemed to be better Vietnam is a weaker opponent, and Vietnam will look forward to further entering the semi-finals. But did not expect. This 'imagined' team that was weaker than Vietnam, suppressed Vietnam on the field, and scored a goal, which made the media and fans a little unacceptable, but they would not doubt Riddle's ability. .

When seeing Riedel's substitution adjustment, the Vietnamese media also began to look forward to it. Vietnam's national sports channel commentator Ji Chengcheng said, "It is a good choice to replace Li Xincai. In this way, we will have three people in the middle, and the defense and The intensity of the offense has increased..."

Chi Thanh's comments also represent the thinking of most Vietnamese media.

But the Vietnamese media has a good idea. But the Vietnamese team did not pull back the situation on the field as they thought.

After Vietnam made a substitution adjustment, the game was no different from the previous one. Hong Kong, China still had the advantage, and it was difficult for Vietnam to find good opportunities in the frontcourt.

Seeing that the first half is about to end, when I think of Riddle's adjustments, I know that it didn't work.

The game entered halftime, and the two teams returned to the locker rooms to wait for the start of the second half.

The media also took advantage of the time to analyze the first half of the game.

After 45 minutes of the game, the strength and performance of Hong Kong, China and Vietnam are also on the bright side. The media's analysis is based on the specific game data. In the first half, whether it was the score, or the passing, ball control, and shooting , etc., a series of data, Hong Kong, China has a great advantage over Vietnam.

After analyzing the results, the Vietnamese media found a pessimistic fact - the reason for Vietnam's passivity is not that Riddle's coaching ability is not good, nor is Vietnam's poor performance in this game, but that Vietnam can't beat Hong Kong, China!

In terms of ability, Hong Kong, China is by no means worse than Vietnam; in terms of cooperation, Hong Kong, China is still no worse than Vietnam.

Vietnam has no advantage over Hong Kong, China.

At this time, the Vietnamese media didn't know what to say. Before the game, they swore that Vietnam would win. As a result, in the current game, it feels like a slap in the face.

It hurts hot!

They gritted their teeth and endured it. At the same time, they also gritted their teeth at the head coach of Hong Kong, China, the young Chinese, "You said, since the Hong Kong you brought with you has such strength, why didn't you talk about winning before the game?"

Before the match with Australia, you said that you would prove that 'Hong Kong, China is the most promising team to qualify for the group stage'; before the match with Thailand, you said that you would let Thailand continue to 'work hard to break through the Asian Cup with zero wins' in the next tournament; and Before the Iraq game, you also said 'a draw is a victory, but a victory will be fought'.

And then... play against Vietnam and you don't say anything and let's think you don't have confidence in the game!

Isn't this a fool!

The Vietnamese media feel that they have become a vulnerable group who have been 'pitied'.

————

With the talk of the media and fans, the intermission flashed by, and soon it was time for the second half.

During the intermission, Vietnam coach Riedel did some ideological work. At the beginning of the second half, Vietnam played very proactively and suppressed Hong Kong, China for a while, but as time passed, the situation soon returned to the first half. situation.

In the face of the former strong Hong Kong, Vietnam has become increasingly passive.

In the 57th minute, Hong Kong, China played a strong attack. The football was passed to the foot of Huang Zhenyu on the wing. Huang Zhenyu took the ball to the bottom line and then kicked and crossed.

Football goes straight to the small penalty area!

This time, the Vietnamese goalkeeper Yang Hongshan made a mistake. He stood in a very good position, but when he was about to attack, he did not come out decisively. Instead, after stopping for a while, he finally chose to stand in front of the goal and let the defender teammates defend. As a result, China Hong Kong striker Zhuo Zhuo rushed over to head the ball into the goal, and Yang Hongshan didn't even have time to make a save.

The ball is in!

2:0!

After this goal, the Vietnamese team, fans, media, and almost all Vietnamese knew that there was no hope of winning.

As the head coach, Riedel did not give up. He continued to make substitution adjustments, replacing a defender and a forward, intending to let the whole team fight.

Then Vietnam has five midfielders and two forwards, plus the occasional full-back, the number of players who can participate in the attack is very large, the effect of the adjustment is still very obvious, and Hong Kong, China was suppressed for a time. , Vietnam attacked two consecutive waves, and also threatened the gate guarded by Fan Junye.

But soon Hong Kong, China used a wave of quick counterattacks to let Vietnam know the importance of defense.

Vietnam is two goals behind and has no other choice but to continue the offensive and look forward to being lucky enough to tie the score.

Vietnamese media and fans are also praying for the team. They hope for a miracle to happen, but unfortunately their prayers have no effect. The next goal will appear soon, but it still belongs to Hong Kong, China.

In the 78th minute, taking advantage of a free kick, Chen Zhaoji's header was saved, midfielder Jiang Shihao grabbed a shot from the right side of the penalty area, and the football rushed directly to the goal.

3:0!

"Goal scored! 3:0! No more suspense!"

"It was Jiang Shihao who scored! This is also his first goal in the Asian Cup!"

"3:0! Now we can declare victory for Hong Kong, China, they managed to reach the semi-finals!"

Following the commentator's words, all the fans who supported Hong Kong, China cheered, and they were very proud of the team's achievements.

Asian Cup semi-finals!

Hong Kong fans didn't dare to think about it before, and no one else would think that the Asian Cup semi-finals can have a place in Hong Kong, China.

Now, Hong Kong, China has done it.

Every Hong Kong fan was very excited, they cheered wantonly in the stands, and many people have already started to celebrate the victory in advance.

In this atmosphere, time passed little by little.

Vietnam has been playing hard, they hope to score a goal at the last minute, and if they can't win, they will try their best to save face.

But in the end, they still didn't score, and the game ended 3-0.

When the referee blew the whistle of the end of the game, all Hong Kong fans cheered excitedly, and the scene was occupied by the voices of fans.

The on-site commentator also said, "3:0, Hong Kong, China defeated Vietnam and advanced to the semi-finals of the Asian Cup!"

"Congratulations to them!"

"This is historic for Hong Kong, China. For decades, they have not been able to reach the final stage of the Asian Cup, and no one will think about what good results Hong Kong, China can achieve, but they qualified as the first group in the group. In this game, beat Vietnam to advance to the semi-finals!"

"This is an amazing result! Hong Kong, China! An amazing team!"

"At the same time, what we must also talk about is that Hong Kong's head coach Wan Sheng, we should say that the Hong Kong Football Association's most successful step in inviting this young Chinese coach to coach the team is precisely in this young man who became famous. Under the leadership of the coach, Hong Kong, China can achieve such good results."

"After proving his coaching ability in Europe, this Chinese came to the Asian Cup, and he led Hong Kong, China, and proved himself again with surprising results."

"Now we all have to admit, Wansheng, this young Chinese is really amazing!"

"..."

Amid the praise, the quarter-finals between Hong Kong, China and Vietnam ended, and Hong Kong, China came close to the semi-finals of the Asian Cup. (To be continued ~^~)
