"..."
When the game between Hong Kong, China and South Korea ended, almost all Asian sports media reported the results of the game in a short period of time.
All reported voices were unanimously surprised by the result of the game.
Before the game, most of the media and fans were not optimistic about Hong Kong, China, because the strength of Hong Kong, China is indeed not strong, and it is still much worse than the South Korean team. Although they defeated opponents such as Australia, Thailand and Vietnam before, these opponents In China, except for Australia, which performed 'very poor', there are no other strong teams. South Korea is different from Thailand and Vietnam. They are traditional Asian strong teams, but in the end, Hong Kong, China still won South Korea.
So all kinds of surprises came.
Soon, various media began to focus on analyzing the game and analyzing the reasons for the failure of the Korean team.
In summary, there are actually two reasons.
One is that the South Korean team has a weak striker and failed to seize several good opportunities in the whole game. On the other hand, Hong Kong, China has not many opportunities, but they scored a goal.
The second point is very important, that is, according to the analysis of various football professionals, the Korean team lost in the tactical ability.
Looking at the full-court defense of Hong Kong, China, from a professional point of view, it can be seen that there is a big problem with Hong Kong's defensive tactics. Their defense speed is very fast, but the defense in the middle is very weak.
However, South Korean coach Verbek did not see this. The South Korean team was mainly attacking two flanks throughout the game. As a result, Hong Kong, China's defense on the flanks was very solid.
It was not until nearly 80 minutes into the game that Verbeek made the correct adjustments, but it was too late. At this time, Hong Kong, China could choose to retreat across the board, and the weakness in the middle was not a problem.
As the Korean national sports report said, "In terms of tactical ability, Verbek completely lost to Wansheng."
But in this regard, the Korean media and fans are not dissatisfied with Verbek, because Verbek can lead the 'Korea Second Team' to the semi-finals, which is already a very satisfactory result, the only thing that is unacceptable Yes, in the end, South Korea fell to a seemingly weak opponent - Hong Kong, China.
However, there are still many media and fans who speak for Verbek, thinking that losing to Wansheng in terms of tactical ability is nothing.
"There are many famous coaches in Europe who have all lost to Wansheng. Derby County and Manchester City led by Wansheng are not football giants. This is Wansheng's personal coaching ability. He is already one of the best football coaches in the world. ."
"Verbeke is not the best head coach in the world. He can't compare with those top European coaches. In terms of tactical ability, it is not surprising that he would lose to Wansheng. On the contrary, if he can defeat Wansheng, it will be strange... …”
Maybe Verbek will feel quite depressed when he hears such remarks. No one wants to hear that he is not as good as a guy ten years younger than himself, but this is the position given to him by the public, compared with top famous coaches , he is much worse in terms of experience and fame.
After the game, Verbek and Wan Sheng shook hands politely, and his eyes were quite complicated.
In this game, Verbeck was convinced that he lost.
Although he was annoyed at Wansheng's "reckless behavior" at last night's press conference and his play on game tactics, football games are just like that, and it's impossible for an opponent to disclose everything.
This is the contest between the two coaches at the tactical level.
Then he lost.
Verbeek discovered for the first time that the original game is not only about lineup, tactics and performance, but also thinking and playing like this.
This defeat did not dampen his confidence, but instead made him feel bright, as if there was a vast world ahead that he had never seen before.
So Verbek looked at Wansheng with complicated eyes. On the one hand, he was annoyed at Wansheng's two 'plays' before and during the game. On the other hand, he thanked Wansheng for allowing him to see new things. It will be very helpful for his future coaching.

China Hong Kong.
At the end of the match between Hong Kong, China and South Korea, the whole of Hong Kong is talking about the game. Even those who don't care about football on weekdays know that Hong Kong, China defeated South Korea and got close to the Asian Cup final.
Hong Kong football has not been very good, and it has also led to many Hong Kong fans who do not like to watch games in Hong Kong, China. These fans usually focus on European football, such as the Premier League, Serie A, La Liga and other major leagues, as well as the Champions League and UEFA Cup. Wait, this is somewhat similar to the fans in mainland China. Because of the 'inaction' of Chinese football, many Chinese fans have 'abandoned' the Chinese team and the domestic league in China. European teams.
However, when they heard that Hong Kong, China beat South Korea and entered the Asian Cup final, the attention of Hong Kong fans returned to Hong Kong football.
Hong Kong fans were very shocked by the news. They kept searching for news about the Hong Kong team in this Asian Cup, and a large number of fans planned to go directly to Indonesia to watch the final of the Asian Cup and support the Hong Kong team on the spot.
Among these Hong Kong fans, dozens of people are special, they are some stars in Hong Kong, but they are also linked to football, because they form a well-known team - China Hong Kong Star United Team.
China Hong Kong Star United Team is a football team under the Hong Kong Film and Television Star Sports Association. It was initiated by the famous singer Alan Tam and the late former Hong Kong football team center Yin Zhiqiang. It was officially registered and established on September 26, 1986.
The football team consists of Alan Tam, Zeng Zhiwei, Chen Baixiang and a group of singers and filmmakers who love football, as well as a group of famous football players.
For more than ten years, the association has developed from a football team into an organization including a basketball team, tennis team, bowling team, and golf team. In 1993 and 1994, the Hong Kong Film and Television Star Sports Association Charity Fund and Outreach were established respectively. Elderly medical services.
In 2004, the team was handed over to Zhongshan Qianyu Culture Communication Co., Ltd. to be responsible for the promotion of national events, and successively achieved good results.
Over the years, the Hong Kong Star Team has held charity competitions or fund-raising activities around the world, raising more than 200 million yuan for domestic and overseas organizations.
The Hong Kong Star Football Team has carried forward the spirit of love and charity, and has benefited more than 100 groups, including mentally handicapped children, the disabled, young people, the elderly, disaster relief, etc. It has helped many people who are in urgent need of assistance. Endless!
Since the team is full of stars from Hong Kong, their games have attracted a lot of attention. The team's reputation is much bigger than the real Hong Kong team. When many domestic fans talk about Hong Kong football, the first thing that comes to mind is this Hong Kong team. The star team, as for the real Hong Kong team, has no concept at all.
Of course, the star team can only be the star team. There is a big gap between their strength and the real Hong Kong team. However, due to the decline of Hong Kong football, many people even think that this Hong Kong star team is not necessarily better than Hong Kong, China. The team is weak.
In this Hong Kong star team, many star players do not care about Hong Kong, China. Although the latter is stronger, it is only the last in Asia. The results of various international competitions are very poor, and there is no room for attention.
So the stars in the team don't care about the competition in Hong Kong, China.
But now it's different.
When they learned that Hong Kong, China beat South Korea in the Asian Cup and entered the Asian Cup final, all Hong Kong fans were shocked, as did the Hong Kong Star Team, so the organizers immediately initiated and wanted to organize some people to go to Indonesia to help China on the spot. Hong Kong team game.
The fans in Hong Kong are like this, and the fans in China are also very interested in the Asian Cup final, because one of them is almost equal to the Chinese team.
Central TV specially arranged a program group to conduct a special program for the Asian Cup in Hong Kong, China.
The arrangement of the program group is to report on the special topic according to the results of the finals in Hong Kong, China.
If Hong Kong, China can really win the final, win the Asian Cup and create a new history of the Asian Cup, then the show will be the "Hong Kong Miracle".
On the other hand, if Hong Kong, China fails in the final and only wins the second place in the Asian Cup, this is also a real "dark horse legend".
Central TV made two preparations and planned to make a detailed report on the Asian Cup in Hong Kong, China.
With the Chinese team being eliminated, there is really nothing to report about Chinese football, so Hong Kong, China, which suddenly achieved good results, has become the focus of attention of domestic fans.
Of course, in the program recording plan of Central TV, Wan Sheng, the coach of Hong Kong, China, is the biggest protagonist.

On the night of the match against South Korea, the entire Hong Kong team returned to the hotel, but instead of celebrating or disbanding to rest, they reunited to watch another semi-final in progress - Japan and Korea. Saudi Arabia game.
The game was scheduled three hours later than Hong Kong, China and South Korea, and the result of the game will also determine the opponent Hong Kong, China will face in the final.
The match between Japan and Saudi Arabia is still very interesting. This is also the focus of the Asian Cup semi-finals, because both teams are three-time Asian Cup champions. Since 1984, the Asian Cup champions have been joined by Saudi Arabia and Japan. monopoly.
Of course, there are also distinctions. Saudi Arabia is more like an "old overlord", while the Japanese team, which is aiming for three consecutive championships, is a "new force".
This is sure to be a close technical flow showdown.
In the end, after 90 minutes of competition, Saudi Arabia defeated Japan 3:2 and advanced to the final.
Japan and Saudi Arabia played the most exciting game since the start of the Asian Cup, with a total of 5 goals in the audience, which shows the intensity of the game.
Japan lost to Saudi Arabia, and unfortunately failed to realize its dream of "three consecutive hegemony".
Kyodo News said in a brief quick comment, "The Japanese team caught up twice but failed to surpass their opponents. In the last 12 minutes, they launched a tidal wave of offensive, but unfortunately the result was a failure. In fact, the Japanese team has The rhythm of the game was mastered from the start, but there were so few shots in the first half."
Japan did not have a single lead in the whole game, and the Japanese team experienced unimaginable difficulties at the beginning of the second half.
In the second half, the Japanese team's left defense first made mistakes, but there was still plenty of time, and there was no need to panic. Immediately Abe hit a fine shot, but the Saudis were quick to snuff out Nakazawa and Abe's efforts.
"The content of the game is not bad, but unfortunately, what to do to win is the most difficult problem." As the head coach Osim said, although the Saudi team's combat concept is limited to the speed of the direct pass, But it was a bit of a surprise that Saudi Arabia took the lead three times.
When the whistle sounded at the end of the game, the Japanese players could only stand blankly on the lawn as if they had lost their direction, and Osim Japan's "Asian Cup consecutive dominance dream" disappeared.
If we pass and catch the ball calmly, the Japanese team still has a chance to catch up. Naotai Takahara said: "If we play our own characteristics, there will be no problem."
It is a pity that in the end, the Japanese team lost its own football characteristics due to the heart of victory and defeat, and can only taste the pain of defeat.
Of course, the whole Hong Kong team doesn't care about Japan's loss. They watch the game mainly to determine their opponents, and at the same time, to see how their opponents play.
In the end, Saudi Arabia wins, then the opponent of Hong Kong, China is determined.
After watching the whole game and getting the result, Wansheng asked everyone to rest and told them to gather together at noon the next day and go to Indonesia to prepare for the final. (To be continued ~^~.)
