Chapter 447 Advance to the Semifinals

On January 1th, the quarter-finals of the Asian Cup ushered in. Lippi led the Chinese national team to face Qatar. Although Qatar is not the top team in Asia, it has always been a team that cannot be underestimated. In this game, Lippi played a 25-1-4 formation.

Goalkeeper: 1 Xue Boyang;
Defenders: 2 Liu Song, 3 Hu Hengbo, 4 Shu Li, 5 Qu Hongjun;
Midfielders: 6 Yin Hanbo, 10 Ren Hailong, 8 Lu Feiyang;
Forwards: 7 Ye Bo, 9 Zhang Yan, 15 Lu Kun;

But there is still a gap from the Huaxia team. The only player in the team who plays in Europe is Khalid Mohamed, who wears the No. 9 jersey, but he is only in the Leon style of West Division B.

The remaining players are basically players who play domestically. Although most of them play domestically, there are also many strong players.

For example, Moez Ali who became famous in the Asian Games before, Moez Ali should be regarded as a Chinese fan, compared with a well-known Qatari player.

After the start of the game, Qatar showed a good tactical execution ability. Although it will not be back and forth with the Huaxia team, it is not as embarrassing as the previous opponent.

Qatar played very hard, but there was still a little gap between the two sides. When the time came to the 39th minute, Ren Hailong took the ball and accelerated to the side. Before he was about to cross the baseline, he directly kicked a pass.

The pass was a little bit reluctant, but the quality was good, and the football flew to the back point.

Qatar's defender Hatem stuck firmly in front of Zhang Yan, hoping to prevent Zhang Yan from grabbing the point. Qatar's head coach knew the threat of Zhang Yan's high point and instructed early before the game to be careful of Zhang Yan's header.

However, Ren Hailong's pass, I don't know if it was intentional or a coincidence, the pass was a bit high, Zhang Yan looked at the trajectory of the football, as Zhang Yan often catches high-altitude balls, he immediately knew the best way to grab points.

I saw Zhang Yan pushing forward with his body covertly, causing Hatem to lean forward slightly, but it was very covert.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Yan took two steps back, because Zhang Yan knew that in the previous position, it was difficult for even himself to touch the football. Although it was still a bit reluctant after taking two steps back, Zhang Yan could touch the football relatively comfortably.

Hatem lost his position a little bit because he was bumped before, and Hatem could no longer compete with Zhang Yan. He saw Zhang Yan jumping high, and Zhang Yan jumped very high.

Zhang Yan's header didn't have enough power because the difficulty was too high, so Zhang Yan used his head to hit a header similar to a lob, and the football passed the goalkeeper and flew into the goal.

Zhang Yan used a crushing header to help the Huaxia team take the lead, and the Huaxia team led Qatar 1-0.

Zhang Yan's potential may not be as high as Lu Shuo and Ye Kai's, and his functions are also very single, but Zhang Yan is indeed a very useful striker.

Qatar, who was behind, had no choice but to press up and play, and it did play a threat for a while, but the defense of the Huaxia team was very solid. Qatar did not score an equalizer goal by the end of the first half.

After the second half, Qatar was still on top, but Lippi made a substitution adjustment, replacing Ren Hailong with Wang Yandong, who has stronger organizational skills.

After Wang Yandong came on the field, the effect was very significant. In the 64th minute of the game, under Wang Yandong's organized counterattack, the Huaxia team quickly pushed to the outside of Qatar's penalty area.

Lu Feiyang picked the football into the penalty area, hoping to find the high point Zhang Yan, but the pass was not good enough, and was cleared by the opponent's defender, but his clearance kicked.

The football did not go too far. Wang Yandong unloaded the falling football with a movement similar to kicking a shuttlecock. After observing the situation, Wang Yandong looked to the right, but he stuffed the football into the left side of the penalty area.

Ye Bo, who was full of explosive power, accelerated quickly. After throwing off the defensive player, his left foot was about to touch the football. Suddenly, the instep of Ye Bo's left foot stretched to the left side of the football.

Then he pushed the football to his right, and at the same time made an emergency stop to pass the opponent's defender's sliding tackle. Ye Bo's handling was very clever, and the football came to Ye Bo's right foot.

Immediately afterwards, Ye Bo made a cut, came to a better position, and directly shot with his right foot. The football flew directly into the goal, and the Huaxia team opened the score 2-0.

In the end, the Huaxia team won Qatar 2-0 and successfully advanced to the semi-finals of the Asian Cup. Moreover, the Huaxia team escaped the relatively strong Japanese team and the Iranian team, and drew the weakest UAE team.

On the same day, the Copa del Rey match was held. Yu Tian and the Espanyol played against Real Betis at home. Yu Tian had already decided to give up the Copa del Rey match, so Yu Tian didn't start the main players.

In the end, the Spaniard lost to Real Betis 0 to 1. Although Real Betis defeated the Spaniard, they were not happy because they defeated the Spaniard with all substitutes.

In the 1st round of La Liga on January 28, Yu Tian and the Spaniard played against Real Madrid at home. In the first half of the season, Yu Tian and the Spaniard defeated Real Madrid away.

However, what Yu Tian was facing was not Real Madrid, which had all the main players, because there was a Champions League match at that time, so many stars did not play.

But it’s different now. Real Madrid wants revenge in this game. They played with all their main players in this game. On the other hand, because of the Asian Cup, the main central defender and main midfielder of the Espanyol team are not there, and the strength of the Spaniard is greatly reduced.

Moreover, Real Madrid's current standings in La Liga are only 4th, 5 points behind Atletico Madrid, who is third, and 4th in La Liga is definitely unacceptable for Real Madrid.

So they hope to win the Spaniard in this game. First, they can chase points as much as possible, and they can also reduce the points gap with the Spaniard. This can be regarded as a 6-point battle.

The Spaniard's players also know the criticality of this game, all the players are very concentrated, but the Spaniard fell behind in the 4th minute, and the striker Benzema scored the first goal.

Fortunately, the Spaniard's fighting spirit has not diminished. In the 25th minute, Baptistan, who almost left the team, helped the Spaniard equalize the score.

Seeing that the first half would end with a 1-1 score, but at this time Benzema appeared again and scored a difficult goal to help Real Madrid take the lead again.

After the second half, with Yu Tian's encouragement, the Spaniard's morale improved, but in the 55th and 67th minutes, Saint Bell and defender Ramos each scored a goal.

The Spaniard collapsed in an instant, and the Spaniard fell behind 1 to 4. Although Piatek scored a goal in the 81st minute, it was too late, and the Spaniard finally lost to Real Madrid 2 to 4.
