Rebirth 1994: Football Situation

Chapter 389
Two hours after the match between the Chinese team and Qatar, the second quarter-final match began at Fengyun Stadium in Yunjia. The two sides were the West Asian civil war between Iraq and Saudi Arabia.

This game seems to have nothing to do with the Chinese team. Their opponent in the semi-finals was the winner of South Korea and Kuwait, but the Chinese team still sent staff to observe the game. Facing the previous champion Saudi team, the Iraqi There was no fear, but a fierce confrontation with the opponent.

The first half ended 1-[-]. Just [-] minute into the second half, the Saudi team's Temyat scored a goal in front of the goal to give the Saudi team a lead, but such a goal did not defeat the Iraqis. Fighting spirit, they instead suppressed the Saudis with a more violent attack.

No.608 minutes, Iraq's Jahim equalized the score with a penalty kick. Three minutes later, hundreds of Iraqi fans cheered wildly. Their Majid caught the opponent's defender in front of the goal and made a mistake. Overwhelmed by Asia's No. 3 goalkeeper De Yayeya!

The current time is No. 701 minutes of the game, and they only need to beat the last 10 minutes to enter the semi-finals without being favored by others!
They almost did it - if their defender hadn't tripped the opponent's Meshaal in the penalty area before the end - a red card and penalty kick, and the Iraqi team fell from heaven to hell in an instant.

Meshal calmly scored the penalty and the game entered overtime.

The tenacious Iraqis persisted until the end of overtime - but they still could not escape the fate of being killed by one blow - in 118 minutes, Temiat scored twice, and he used a wonderful sideways volley. Gou scored the first golden goal of this Asian Cup, and also made it difficult for the defending champion to enter the semi-finals.

The Chinese fans at the scene gave applause to the Iraqis without hesitation. Although they lost, their fighting spirit did not lose to the opponent. What was lacking may be just a little bit of luck.

The other two semi-finals will be held on the second day. The winner between South Korea and Kuwait will be the opponent of the Chinese team in the semi-final, while the winner between Japan and Iran will be the opponent of the Saudi team in the semi-final— —To say that this Asian Cup has been going on so far, there are really no upsets. If there is no accident, the South Korean team should be able to enter the semi-finals, and there is no way for Japan and Iran to meet prematurely. Basically, the strong teams have entered The quarter-finals and the final four are all traditional strong teams. In terms of unpopularity, it is probably only surprising that Japan can beat Saudi Arabia four-to-one in the group stage.

There is no upset, but it does not mean that there is no point to watch. The confrontation between Japan and Iran, the confrontation between technical football and power football is a very good point to watch. However, the South Korean team representing strength has become the South Korean team in East Asia, and the Kuwait team in West Asia has relatively excellent technology. In the two quarter-finals that have ended early, China, representing East Asia, has successfully fought against West Asia in advance. The next two games will depend on whether Japan and South Korea will repeat the mistakes of the last Asian Cup.

In the last Asian Cup in the United Arab Emirates, the West Asian team, which has the advantage of home court, won a big victory and swept the final four. Although the top three in East Asia, China, Japan and South Korea, all entered the quarterfinals, they were in the quarterfinals. The Chinese team was eliminated by Saudi Arabia [-]-[-] with a [-]-goal lead. This is the most respectable loss among the top three in East Asia. Japan lost [-]-[-] to Kuwait without temper, and South Korea even lost. Miserably, being beaten into a sieve by the flourishing Iranian team, the bloody [-]-[-] is a painful memory that all Koreans will never forget.

The two camps of East Asia and West Asia, the competition between the two sides is everywhere, including on the field.

This time, the opponents of Japan and South Korea are still Iran and Kuwait, but they have changed. Japan faced Iran, the last eight opponents of South Korea, and South Korea faced Kuwait, the last eight opponents of Japan. Then there will be a different result.

On the 24th, the first match between South Korea and Kuwait will be played.

The game was held at the Chengdu Stadium in Sichuan, and the Chinese fans present were overwhelmingly supporting the Kuwait team—obviously, the winner of this game would be the opponent of the Chinese team in the semi-finals, and the Chinese team faced Kuwait in the group stage. They have played against each other before, and they still defeated their opponents after sending most of the substitutes. If the opponent is Kuwait, it will be easier for the Chinese team to enter the final.

The players of the Chinese team also gathered in front of the TV to watch the game, and the members of the coaching staff also watched the game in their own rooms, but their emphasis was different.

Players observe the habits and technical characteristics of the opponents they may play against in the game, and coaches discuss more.

********************************************
"I really hope that Kuwait can win." Tang Peng watched the TV broadcast intently, and said in his mouth: "Then it will be much easier for us to enter the final - Kuwait is no longer the Asian overlord in the 80s. Now they It can only be regarded as the youngest among the first-class teams, especially after the Gulf War, wars often destroy not only a country's economy, but also their various facilities."

"I would like to play against South Korea." Chu Guanghu said confidently: "Now is our strongest time, and we have the advantage of home court. The Olympic team defeated South Korea last time, and now the national team will also beat South Korea! It is necessary to completely reverse the fans' impression of 'Koreaphobia' and establish our position as a top Asian team!"

Milu looked at his two assistants expressing tit-for-tat opinions, and smiled in his heart. This can be regarded as the impact of two completely different concepts. Tang Pengju is a representative of domestic coaches. He has personally experienced decades of invincibility. In those days, and the youth team he led went all the way to the final of the Asian Youth Championship, and swept the UAE youth team [-]-[-] in the semi-final, but lost to the South Korean youth team in the final. With a temperless zero-to-three, there is naturally a little fear of South Korea, and out of consideration for the goal of winning the championship, the opponent is naturally as weak as possible, and Chu Guanghu is another kind of coach-he is in the After staying in Brazil for five years, after returning home to be my assistant, I watched the Chinese Olympic team defeat the Korean Olympic team in a face-to-face match to enter the Olympic finals. The team thought too simply.

Seeing that both of them cast their eyes on him, wanting to hear his opinion, Milu smiled slightly and spoke in Spanish.

Chu Guanghu has been in Brazil for five years, so he can naturally understand Spanish, which is very similar to Portuguese, so Lin Cheng, the translator next to him, mainly translates for Tang Pengju: "From the perspective of the championship goal, I hope that Kuwait will be our champion. The opponents in the semi-finals—but from a realistic point of view, we have to think more about how to deal with South Korea—after all, South Korea is still stronger in terms of strength, but it can’t be said that it is to reverse the fan’s fear. Korean syndrome' impression, the more you say something, the more authentic it will be. Also, whether it is a top Asian team is not based on words, but on a game-by-game basis. What we have to do is to carefully watch the play of these two possible opponents. Whether it is Kuwait or South Korea, they will probably be our opponents in the semifinals. Tang, you mainly look at Kuwait, Chu, you look at South Korea.”

The two nodded, and began to watch the teams they wanted to pay attention to separately. Milu sat at the end with his hands folded, watching the game attentively, without saying a word.

Kuwait's defense was very good. At least in the whole first half, they didn't let the South Korean team get any good chances. To say that their relatively soft style of play was very restrained from South Korea's tactics. The South Korean team, which is known for its pressure all over the court, has a feeling that it is too powerful to use.

The first half ended [-]-[-] between the two sides, Tang Pengju laughed: "Interesting, it seems that Kuwait really has something to do today."

"The strength of the South Korean team is not as strong as in 98." Chu Guanghu nodded and said, "Their souls are still there, but their momentum is obviously much worse than before. Could it be that the defeat against the Netherlands and the Olympic team lost to us Hurt their spirits?"

No.706 minutes of the second half, Kuwait scored!Their number one star Howardy made a clever kick in front of the goal and broke through the ten fingers of the Korean goalkeeper Li Yunzai!

The grown-up fans cheered loudly. They didn't care about the dispute between East Asia and West Asia. They only knew that China was more sure of beating Kuwait, but less sure of beating South Korea—so they hoped that Kuwait would win, it's as simple as that.

At this moment, Houvardi became the hero of the Kuwait team and the temporary hero in the hearts of the Chinese fans in the Chengdu Stadium—but unfortunately, the final hero of this game was the South Korean striker who played for Werder Bremen in the Bundesliga. The Lion King" Lee Dong-guk.

In the 90th minute of the game, the South Korean team took a corner kick, and even the goalkeeper rushed up. This time, the hero Hou Vardy returned to the penalty area in more than ten minutes, but it was his defensive error that gave the Korean a chance. Lee Dong-guk's shot Saved by the goalkeeper, Hou Vardy made a clearance not far away, and Kim Sang-sik volleyed and broke the net!One to one, the South Korean team came over from the death line!
Another overtime, another golden goal!
In the 6th minute of overtime, Hong Myung-bo steals the ball and counterattacks, and sends the ball to Lu Ting-yun who is inserted in the right rib. Noh Ting-yun makes a pass, and Lee Dong-guk appears in the center of the penalty area. When the ball arrives, he pushes the ball into the net!Two to one, South Korea won the Golden Ball!
"Okay, both of you, let's start preparing for the game against South Korea." Milu stood up and said to the two assistants who were still in a daze: "Our opponent has come out, the South Korean team."
