Chapter 274: Top 4, Old Enemy South Korea

The final score of the game was fixed at 2:0. Since Uzbekistan defeated Kuwait 2:1 in another game, the two rounds of the group stage ended. The Chinese team and Uzbekistan had the same six points. Group qualifying.

The final round will be a direct dialogue between the two teams, a key battle for the first place in the group. The Chinese media played up the next game against Uzbekistan as a must-win showdown.

At this point in time, the confrontation between the two teams, from the point of view of news value, is a battle of revenge. The Chinese team has every chance to report the shame of defeating Uzbekistan by three goals in the last round of the Asian Cup group stage, and the end With another victory, the Chinese team will make a small history and win the Asian Cup group stage for the first time.

Judging from the team's next knockout trend, the media feels that it is of great significance to keep the current number one position in the group. Not surprisingly, the first place in Group B will be the Japanese team. In other words, if the Chinese team loses the last game, they will have to face the Japanese team in advance, and if they win, their opponent in the knockout round will be the second Jordan team in Group B.

Which team is more difficult, the Chinese journalists are the most clear. Reporting on the national team for a long time, these reporters have become masters of predictive analysis and suspense reasoning.

However, they used these questions to ask Gao Hongbo in the interview, which seemed a little brainless. Although Gao Hongbo didn't want to answer, he couldn't stand it. This was at the pre-match press conference. The organizing committee asked not to be silent, so he thought about it and replied: "Winning is our consistent goal. I think it's all about it." Needless to say, otherwise why are we here? But we strive for victory only because the whole team does not want to lose, not to avoid certain opponents, and we are not afraid if the Japanese team encounters an upset loss. "

At first hearing Gao Hongbo's remarks, the reporters felt that they were a bit blindly confident, but after some exchanges among the reporters, they found that maybe this was not Gao Hongbo's self-inflated, and the Chinese team was actually no stranger to the Japanese team. Ah, Zhou Tiancheng played against Shinji Kagawa, the core midfielder of the Japanese team, and he is teammates with Atsuto Uchida...

In fact, the majority of domestic fans have been discussing the Chinese team's knockout opponents for a long time. Unlike the reporters, the fans are more inclined to play against the Japanese team!

Although South Korea and Japan are the two major sufferers of the Chinese team, it is almost impossible to win a match in the competition, but because of this, the fans are more happy to see them play against these two opponents. Strong teams will play sooner or later, since they have to do it, then don't be cowardly.

What's more, this Chinese team is now in full swing, and it is not impossible to win when they encounter it!

Of course, this is just an attitude. No one wants the Chinese team to deliberately lose the last game to face Japan, but if the Japanese team encounters an upset loss, we are not afraid.

What Gao Hongbo repeatedly emphasized with the players in the locker room before the game is to focus on the present and not to think about the future: "Don't listen to the nonsense of the reporters. We don't pick opponents. It is our task to kill the black-bone chicken in front of us." .If you really run into Japan, tell me, are you afraid?"

No one answered, but Gao Hongbo could see from everyone's unchanging expressions that the so-called "invincible for more than ten years" was just a media gimmick. In fact, these players really don't have an intuitive feeling for the Japanese team. There are not many opportunities to really meet the Japanese team in the competition.

The corner of Gao Hongbo's mouth hooked: "Remember, when we meet any opponent, our goal is only four words, and we are done!"

...

In the starting game against Uzbekistan, Gao Hongbo replaced the starting full-backs on both sides. Hao Junmin and Chen Pengfei had exhausted themselves in the first two games, and they were replaced by Qu Bo and Yu Hai. The Chinese team has always had sufficient personnel reserves in the wing position, and there is absolutely no need for the two to continue playing on the field at the risk of injury.

Of course, in Zhou Tiancheng's position, Gao Hongbo dare not play with fire lightly. Facing Uzbekistan's European tough style of play, he is really the only one who can support the midfield of the Chinese team.

The scene of this game is very open, both sides have made every effort to attack each other from the beginning,

Dominating the situation with offense is now the routine operation of the Chinese team, and Uzbekistan coach Abramov also knows the shortcomings of the team. Defense alone cannot withstand the firepower of the Chinese team. Without the pressure of being out, his choice Exactly the same as Gao Hongbo, based on offense.

In the last open and close game, the Chinese team took the lead twice due to Hai and Zhou Tiancheng, defeated their opponents 2:1, and won three consecutive group matches as they wished.

In the first round of the knockout round three days later, that is, in the quarter-finals of the Asian Cup, the Chinese team defeated Jordan 3-0 and advanced to the semi-finals of the Asian Cup. This game also has special significance. This is the first time that a Chinese national team at all levels has won in the knockout round since the 2004 Asian Cup.

Magath, who is far away in Gelsenkirchen, is also paying close attention to the performance of the Chinese team. When he saw that the Chinese team entered the semi-finals, he looked unhappy. The second half of the league has already begun, but the team's pivotal main force has yet to come back...

From Magath's standpoint, he has his own considerations. But as a Chinese media, it doesn't matter so much. The Chinese team returned to the semi-finals of the Asian Cup. This result, is to be crazy! Just be crazy!

There has always been a popular saying among Chinese football fans, go crazy when you win, and go crazy when you lose. Now is the time to go crazy!

Even if the opponent to face in the next round is the South Korean team, the old opponent that made the Chinese team suffer so much, the fans are really serious, and many fans are even excited about it.

"Hahaha, Bangzi, I like this matchup. Ask me weakly, Bangzi, do you still remember 3:0?"

"I remember all kinds of dissatisfaction when the Bangzi East Asian Cup was played 3:0, saying that they were not the main force. This time Park Ji-sung is here, and we are not bullying. I will give you a 3:0. I don't think you will say it Tough mouth!"

"Upstairs, don't underestimate Bangzi's shamelessness, they can say that after research, Zhou Tiancheng is Korean!"

"Go back to the third floor, Zhou Tiancheng is Korean, there is nothing wrong with it...the vassal state hundreds of years ago, Zhou Tiancheng is Korean, Park Ji-sung is Chinese, the same meaning hahaha, anyway, they belong to us!"

"Fuck you upstairs, I don't have the kind of evil-eyed Pu Bangzi in China, who looks like a villain at a glance."

"No kidding, to be honest, the Chinese team really needs to be prepared to compete with Bangzi in the next game. Every time they meet Bangzi, the most worrying thing is physical fitness. If only Zhou Tiancheng is left with physical fitness at a critical moment, everyone else will be dragged to death. Well, that would really hurt..."
