Rebirth 1994: Football Situation

Chapter 390 Waiting
Asian Cup semi-final, China vs South Korea!
The news immediately spread across the country like the wind, and all the fans became excited-what does it mean?It means that China and South Korea, the two teams that have had grievances and grievances for decades, will have a tragic fight in the semi-finals, which will be the most interesting match since the start of this Asian Cup. dialogue.

All the Chinese fans forgot about the upcoming quarter-finals between Japan and Iran, and began to discuss the semi-finals two days later with enthusiasm. The organizers of the Shanghai Division almost jumped in a hurry. Iran's game, the most exciting of the four quarter-finals, was a game they were scrambling to cash in on, with less than two-thirds of the 8-strong stadium filled. If Shanghai is not an international metropolis and there are more Japanese working and living there, I am afraid they will not even be able to make money back.

In the first three quarter-finals, except for the Chinese team's relatively easy victory over Qatar, the other two games all won the Golden Ball, and the excitement of this game is not inferior to any of the previous games. Iran's Bagheri In the 4th minute after the start of the game, he scored a wonderful super long shot from 30 meters away. The ball drew a strange arc in the air and flew straight to the dead corner. When it comes to the ball, Iran leads [-]-[-].

But after 3 minutes, the Japanese team equalized the score. The defensive midfielder Bo Hao scored a supplementary shot in front of the goal, which was a one-to-one tie.

Their head coach Frenchman Troussier announced before the start of the Asian Cup that he would show the demeanor of a world-class team, and the performance of the Japanese team was also worthy of these five words-four minutes later, it was No. In the 4th minute, Naoyasu Takahara scored his fifth goal of the tournament when he slammed Shunsuke Nakamura's cross into the dead corner. Iran's lead was wiped out in seven minutes. Two to one, the Japanese team went ahead.

Then the game entered a stalemate period, and the deadlock was not broken until 5 minutes after the start of the second half. Madavikia suddenly kicked a long shot after breaking through from the right. Nokatsu Kawaguchi's reaction was obviously slow, and the ball went from his armpit Fly over, two to two.

No. In the 609th minute, the Japanese team overtook the score again. After receiving the pass from Shinji Ono, the midfielder Ming Shenzhi and inserted a strong shot to overtake the score again. In the face of the powerful offensive of the Japanese team, Iran's defense seems to be useless. Not enough people.

The Iranian team, which aggressively pushed forward to try to equalize the score again, was hit hard again. Their empty defense gave the Japanese team countless opportunities to counterattack. Finally, in the No.708 minute, Ming played in place of the injured Hidetoshi Nakata in this game. Sanzhihe scored another goal and completely sealed the victory.

So far, the quarter-finals are all over. The three East Asian teams in the quarter-finals have all entered the semi-finals, and the five West Asian teams have gone home to four. Contrary to the last Asian Cup, the east wind overwhelmed the west wind.

In the semi-finals, Japan faced the Saudi team that had won four to one in the group stage, while China faced the challenge of the South Korean team.

These two semi-finals will be held on July 26. The venues for the competition are the BJ Division and the Tianjin Division.

**********************************
"Haha, our opponent is really the South Korean team!"

On the training ground of the Chinese team the next day, Zhu Guosheng's loud voice rang out. The national team had a day off yesterday, but most of the players still watched the game. After all, they also cared about the next semi-final.

Nie Fei dug his ears: "Guosheng, are you from Mars? Are there any people in China who only know about football and don't know about it?"

Zhu Guosheng choked for a moment, and said in embarrassment: "Aren't I afraid that you don't know? You are now half Italian. You may not be able to understand Chinese characters, but you may understand Chinese..."

As soon as the words came out, the players from far and near laughed, and Nie Fei gave him an angry look: "You bastard, you really can't spit ivory out of your dog's mouth..."

"However, the game the day after tomorrow is not easy." Li Min squinted his eyes and thought for a while, "Many of the members of the South Korean team this time are former players. We have played against them quite a few times, but we just haven't won. We played so well that time, but we still lost two to three."

"That time was that time, this time is this time." Hao Dong interrupted him: "We may not be afraid of them, people like Hong Mingfu and Liu Xiangtie are our old opponents, but every time It’s tough enough to beat us, but their youngsters are far worse than our youngsters, and this time we are at home again, so it’s the right time to take down South Korea, right?”

"Yes!" The players yelled proudly, and even General Fan, who had been at odds with Hao Dong, also yelled. They have suffered a lot from the South Korean team, but the losses will be returned. At a disadvantage, they have always been unconvinced by their losses. This time at home, the Korean team's condition is obviously not very good. If they don't seize the opportunity to justify themselves now, they may not have this opportunity in the future.

After all, they are almost thirty, and the young people in the country are so strong, the chances of entering the national team will become less and less in the future. If this revenge cannot be avenged now, it will be really difficult to have a chance in the future. They don't want to end their careers with such a regret.

"The morale of the players does not need to be mobilized. We never need to mobilize when we play against Japan or South Korea." Tang Pengju said to Milu with a smile: "Especially when the players of the Olympic team have already defeated South Korea—— The old players don’t want to be compared to the young people, and the young people don’t have any psychological burden—this is the best chance to beat South Korea.”

"Well." Milu nodded. He saw the morale and performance of the entire team, and he was very relieved. As long as the players can automatically maintain a high fighting spirit, then his job as the head coach will be much easier. The next thing is to send the most suitable candidates to participate in the game by observing the status of the players...and arrange targeted tactics.

And the tactics of the game, he has already thought about it.

**************************************
Everyone is waiting for the game, whether it is at the scene or in front of the TV, the excited Chinese fans are waiting early, waiting for the start of the game.

"You... have been waiting for this game for a long time."

In the locker room of the Chinese team, there was no other sound, except for the shouts of the fans faintly revealed from the door, only Lin Cheng's voice echoed in the locker room - of course, he was the translator of Milu's words.

"I understand your mood now. I think the members of the England national team probably feel the same as you whenever they meet the Swedish national team-you know? England has not won an official game for nearly 40 years. Past the Swedish team."

"I think everyone should know what team England is, the winner of the world championship, and the birthplace of modern football, but their record of defeating Sweden is almost twice as much as our record of defeating South Korea. Some people say that England has 'Swissphobia'? No."

The players all laughed, they didn't expect Milu to explain it like this.

Milu went on to say: "Let me make an analogy again-do you know the Brazilian national team? The team with the most world championships, known as the football kingdom, has the best players in the world, but you know, they have never defeated any team. National team?"

Everyone was stunned by this question. The Swedish players knew about England's defeat, but no one knew about this question. Does Brazil, the football kingdom, have any teams that have not won?impossible?
"Could it be a team they haven't played before?" Nie Fei thought for a while, he is the one with the most say. After all, he grew up in Brazil and has a deep understanding of Brazilian football: "Then That's too much, and they haven't even won against Myanmar because they haven't played against Myanmar."

Nie Fei's words caused a burst of laughter in the locker room again, Milu also laughed happily, he shook his head: "No, it refers to the teams that have a record of official matches, the Brazilian team has not won this team. "

"Then I don't know." Nie Fei shook his head: "Probably not, even the other super teams in the world, Brazil, can't possibly have never won, right?"

"It's the Norwegian team." Milou said this incredible answer, which surprised everyone: "Brazil and Norway have faced each other three times in history, with one draw and two losses. The most recent two Lost both, in the warm-up match in '97 and the World Cup group stage in '98 - but does anyone think Norway is much stronger than Brazil?"

All the players shook their heads collectively, joking, probably only the ball blind would agree with this point of view.

"So, it's not that you couldn't beat your opponents in the past, and you certainly can't win today-any game is just a game, and you don't need to carry such a heavy burden. This is the semi-final of the Asian Cup. If you win, we If we lose, we can only compete for No.3, that’s all, it’s as simple as that.”

He looked at the players: "Do you want to compete for the championship or No.3?"

"Champion! Champion! Champion!" Without hesitation, all the Chinese players roared in unison. Before the start of the Asian Cup, they knew what their goal was, and that was to be the champion!Except for the champion, there is no difference between the runner-up and the last place!

"Okay, let's go now! Go play the game you've been waiting for for a long time!" Milu pointed to the door of the locker room and said loudly.

The players roared in unison and rushed out of the door. (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please visit www.QIDIAN.COM, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!)
