The team’s best achievement was winning the championship at home in 1992, while the Chinese team’s best achievement was winning the runner-up in the Asian Cup in Singapore in 1984... Now we have got the lineups of both sides, and the starting lineup of the Chinese team is four Forty-two, goalkeeper Jiang Hai, four defenders from right to left are Sun Chenghai, Captain Fan General, Li Wei and Wu Jiying, midfielder Li Gang and Zhao Junzhe form a double midfielder, Nie Fei is on the right, Ma Tian is on the left, and the double forwards are Hao Dong and Zhang Yulin, the Japanese team's lineup is three-five-two, goalkeeper Nokatsu Kawaguchi, three defenders are Hiroshi Fububu, Ryuzo Morioka, and Naoki Matsuda, and midfielders are Hiroshi Namami, Junichi Inamoto, and Naoki Mori. Hiroshima Hiroshi, Shunsuke Nakamura and Chikazu Akeshin, the most famous Hidetoshi Nakata is still unable to play due to injury, talented boy Shinji Ono and Mochizuki Shigeyoshi who scored the winning goal in the previous game are all sitting on the bench, and the double forwards are Naoyasu Takahara and Mingxun Nishizawa. Now the game is about to start, and the Japanese team will kick off first!" In the voice of Huang Daxian, the ace commentator of the sports channel, the game started.

In this Asian Cup, the new head coach of the Japanese team, Troussier, fulfilled his promise before the start of the Asian Cup: to make the Japanese team play the demeanor of a world-class team. Ordinary short-pass penetrating organizational offenses can often give them an absolute advantage on the scene, and the excellent state of the two forwards also allows them to convert the advantage on the scene into goals. They scored [-] in five games. [-] goals, with an average of more than [-] goals per game, it is the team with the strongest offense, while the Chinese team has only conceded [-] goals so far, and it is the team with the best defense. A Strong Shield - Contradictory Controversy.

This game was also a battle of shooters. Hao Dong scored five goals, Takahara Naoyasu scored five goals, and Nishizawa Mingxun scored four goals—they ranked second, third and fourth on the scorer list, and the first one was in the third place. Korean striker Lee Dong-guk scored the sixth goal in the four finals, but his title of top scorer is not stable. After all, as long as anyone of Hao Dong and Takahara Naotai scores a goal, they can tie.

The strongest of the Japanese team is their midfielder, and the most threatening is their striker - Naoyasu Takahara and Mingxun Nishizawa scored nine goals in total, this is a force that no one can ignore, Except for Hao Dong, the Chinese team seems to have no striker who can partner with him. Whether it is Zhang Yulin or Li Jinyu, they only scored one goal. The only striker who scored two goals was Gao Feng. He was injured and was unable to participate in the remaining games. The other two goals were scored by midfielders, Ma Tian and Nie Fei both scored two goals.

At the beginning of the game, the Japanese team launched an attack through a delicate short pass in the midfield. It has to be said that the current Japanese team is superior to other Asian teams in terms of technology. Except for Nie Fei, everyone else in the Chinese team is superior in terms of technology. The opponent's gap was a bit higher, so after the opening, the Chinese team fell into a disadvantage.

The numbers are superior and the technology is superior. With these two points, the Japanese midfielder established an advantage in the midfield shortly after the opening, but it is also difficult for them to attack the Chinese team's penalty area through short passes. The waist and Ma Tian, ​​who has a relatively good defensive ability, built a tight line of defense in front of the penalty area. The Japanese team can only open up the situation through two crosses from the wing, but the Chinese team's header advantage in the penalty area shows. After coming out, the Japanese team was pushed out by General Fan and Li Wei in turn for several consecutive crosses from the side. Occasionally, those who failed to destroy were intercepted by the tall and long-armed Jiang Hai.

Pei Wei nodded secretly. It doesn't matter if he is passive after the opening, as long as there is no way to deal with it. Now it seems that Milu's tactics are arranged according to the characteristics of the Japanese team. You know, although the Japanese team has excellent skills, but even It is even impossible for the Brazilian team to keep the short-pass penetration throughout the game. This tactic is very enjoyable to say, but it is a great burden on the physical and mental strength of the players to use it in the whole game. Let the opponent score, then when it slows down, it is time for the Chinese team to counterattack.

Sure enough, the Japanese team only took the initiative to slow down the rhythm after only a few minutes of attacking. The Chinese team took the opportunity to gain a firm foothold in the midfield through their bodies and began to organize a counterattack.

Ma Tian's long-range shot was knocked out of the bottom line by the opponent's defender, Nie Fei took a corner kick, and Kawaguchi hit the ball alive and took it.

However, when he landed, his hands loosened, and the ball almost rolled out. Fortunately, Kawaguchi's reaction was quite good, and he hugged the ball again.

Pei Wei looked amused. The biggest weakness of the Japanese team is probably the goalkeeper. Although Nobu Kawaguchi won the best goalkeeper in the World Youth Championship, his unstable state is a big problem. The level of a world-class goalkeeper is like a time bomb when he is not in good shape. He doesn't know when he will blow up his goal.

No. In the 11th minute, the Japanese team launched a counterattack. Hiroshi Namami made a wonderful oblique kick in the middle, and Takashi Morioka made a single shot from three sides. Fortunately, his speed was not fast, and Li Wei chased him out at high speed. out of the restricted area, and then Sasquatch sabotages.

The Chinese team’s counterattack, Nie Fei’s midfielder passed the ball to Hao Dong’s feet. Hao Dong broke through a few meters and then suddenly kicked up a long shot from 30 meters away. The ball quickly flew to the upper left corner of the goal. Kawaguchi made a vigorous leap , lift the ball off the crossbar again with your fingertips.

Nie Fei took another corner kick—the bomb that Pei Wei hoped to see exploded—and Kawaguchi lost his hand when he was attacking to get the ball. Unfortunately, the ball fell in front of Li Gang who went into the penalty area to assist. I don’t know what he came in for), Li Gang hastily poked the ball, and the ball slowly slid past the goal.

The exclamation of the Japanese fans turned into cheers, while the cheers of the Chinese fans turned into sighs. Li Gang hugged his head, and Hao Dong who was next to him shook his head, patted him on the shoulder, and ran out of the restricted area.

The shocking Japanese team received a second blow 3 minutes later. Ma Tian's long-range shot from 30 meters away hit the post heavily and popped out. Nohuo Kawaguchi did not respond.

After that, the Chinese team played more and more fiercely, but unfortunately, the Japanese team's goal came without warning. In a quick counterattack, Naba Hao, who controlled the Japanese team's offensive and defensive driving buttons, made a beautiful wide-range transfer, and the ball landed on the ground. At the foot of Naoyasu Takahara near the left penalty area, Naoyasu Kohara passed the ball into the penalty area of ​​the Chinese team before Wu Jiying came up to defend. General Fan, who returned to the defense at high speed, had no choice but to take the risk of grabbing the ball in front of the opponent and just kick it!
He was gambling on luck, he couldn't grasp the ball's touch position well at such a high speed, and the current position is in the small penalty area, very close to the goal, and Jiang Hai is standing in the center of the goal, it is impossible to jump over in time , As long as the kick is slightly more positive, it is an own goal.

General Fan did just that, trying to pounce forward while running at high speed, stretched out his leg and kicked the ball in flight when he lost his balance.

The ball quickly changed direction and flew towards the baseline or the goal. Jiang Hai only had time to turn around and watched the ball hit the inside of the goal post and bounced into the goal...

The audience fell silent.

The first own goal of this Asian Cup happened in the final. The Japanese team led the Chinese team with this own goal. It was the captain of the Chinese team, General Fan, who scored this own goal.

But did General Pham have any choice?
Of course he has a choice, not to take the risk of an own goal, and let the unguarded Hiroshima Morishima easily break through Jiang Hai's gate with a close-range header, so that he has no responsibility. He has tried his best to return to the defense, but failed to catch up. Can he be blamed?
No one will blame him. The entire Chinese team attacked a bit recklessly just now. Sun Chenghai and General Fan both pressed the half court, leaving only Wu Jiying and Li Wei behind. General Fan can only choose between watching the opponent score and risking his own goal.

The other guards looked at General Fan with strange eyes. Li Wei was about to go up to comfort the guard partner and captain, but General Fan avoided him.

General Fan spat fiercely on the ground, then took a deep breath, and roared loudly:
"Damn it, let's go, Oolong Laozi admits it! Even if I come in, I won't let them in!"

The other defenders watched silently as General Fan ran into the goal, picked up the ball, and then kicked the ball towards the center circle. Hao Dong, who had just run back to the center circle, jumped up to catch the ball, and placed it on the kick-off point, coldly He looked coldly at the Japanese team members who were celebrating.

There was a lot of sighing in the stands, but there was no scolding. The Chinese fans are not as anxious as before. When they get used to the good results of the Chinese team, they not only bring pride, but also confidence.

The cheers of the Japanese fans sounded from the stands, and the plaster flags looked so eye-catching on the two stands.

The anger of the Chinese fans, who had nowhere to vent, finally found a place to vent. The fans in the stands closest to the Japanese fans were separated from the police (in order to prevent accidents, police forces were deployed around the stands where the Japanese fans were). As the Japanese fans began to curse, other stands also began to reinforce.

Shen Yun cursed a few words in a low voice, of course he was cursing the Japanese team, then raised his head suddenly, and shouted loudly: "Chinese team, don't be discouraged!"

The other fans next to him also shouted, and it slowly swept into a torrent!
Hearing the shouts from the stands, Nie Fei laughed.

"Give me the ball after kick-off." He said to Hao Dong.

Hao Dong nodded: "I will respond in front of you."

"And me." Zhang Yulin said beside him.

"Don't be reckless, we are all by your side." Ma Tian added. (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!)
