Genius to remember the address of this site in one second: [New] https://The fastest update! No ads!
Although the Japanese team relied on a penalty kick to recover a goal in the 88th minute of the game, the Chinese team withstood their last crazy offensive.
In the end, this much-watched "China-Japan War" ended with the Chinese team's 3-2 away victory over the Japanese team.
"The game is over! We won! The Chinese team defeated the Japanese team 3:2 on the road, and got the most crucial three points in this round of twelve!"
He Feng and Yan Kang cheered.
The away victory against Japan is indeed crucial, which means that the Chinese team is one step closer to the World Cup finals.
After this round of the top 12, the Chinese team is the only team in the group that has won all four games, leading the group standings with 12 points.
The second place is the Iranian team who just beat Iraq 3:1 at home. They accumulated 10 points - because they were defeated by the Japanese team 1:1 at home in the previous round.
A draw, so they are two points less than the Chinese team in points.
Japan is in third place with seven points.
The World Cup qualification is two for each group, and even the third place has the qualification to play the play-off. In theory, as long as the Chinese team can get the top three in the group stage, it is possible to advance to the World Cup finals.
And now the fourth place in the group stage is Syria. They defeated Thailand 2:1 at home in this round, and won their first victory with three points.
The fifth place is Iraq, who have three points with the same score. They are only in fifth place because they have less goal difference than Syria.
The Thailand team, which has not won a game and lost four games and four losses, is at the bottom of the ranking. It is almost impossible to qualify for the World Cup.
The Chinese team has nine points more than the fourth and fifth places, with dozens of goals and a total goal difference of 11, which are far ahead of Syria and Iraq and the third-place Japanese team, which also has a five-point advantage. , it can be said that the line situation is very good.
This is also the most important reason why everyone is so happy after the Chinese team beat the Japanese team away - not just because of the grievances between China and Japan.
After the game, the Chinese team players on the bench rushed to the court and hugged and celebrated with their teammates.
Compared with the excited ones, the Japanese players were a lot more depressed.
They drew with Iran in the last round, and lost to China in this round. In the contest with these two direct competitors, the Japanese team was all at a disadvantage.
This is extremely unfavorable for their qualifying goals.
Although it is not difficult to get third in the group, for Japanese football today, if it is to rely on the play-offs to qualify for the World Cup, it is a failure in itself.
Since participating in the World Cup as the host in 2022, the Japanese team has always advanced directly to the finals, and has not played any play-offs or qualifying matches.
※ Morikawa Junpei stood on the court with his hands on his knees.
He was breathing heavily, and at the same time raised his head and looked at the big screen in the stands.
The final score is shown above.
2:3
The Japanese team at home lost.
Although he is eager to fight with the Chinese team who has gone all out, it does not mean that he does not care about the result of the game.
He will still be disappointed if he loses because that means his efforts are in vain...
"Morikawa." Zhang Qinghuan, who had put on the Chinese team's sports jacket, came up and put his hand on his back, bent over and asked, "Are you okay?\"
"I'm fine, Brother Huan..." Morikawa Junpei said weakly.
He was really bored.
You must know that Morikawa Junpei's physical fitness is very good, and as a result, he cramped once during the game.
It can be seen how fierce he fought in this game today.
"You've protected me enough today, you see, you've been able to prevent me from being replaced in advance, ha!" Zhang Qinghuan joked.
Zhang Qinghuan was replaced by Guo Junfu in the 74th minute of the game. He was replaced not because Morikawa Junpei, or not entirely because Morikawa Junpei froze him. Morikawa Junpei did cause him trouble, but Dillon replaced him, and more thought about letting Zhang Qinghuan rest and giving Guo Junfu a chance to exercise.
Morikawa Junpei also understood this very well, knowing that Brother Huan was just to comfort himself, and there was no relaxed expression on his face.
Seeing this, Zhang Qinghuan said seriously:
"It's not your responsibility to lose. Let's fight again next time!"
Morikawa Junpei nodded: "Okay, Brother Huan.\"
Zhang Qinghuan patted his shoulder and said goodbye to celebrate the victory with his teammates.
As soon as he left, Zhou Zijing came to the door again.
"Oh, Morikawa, if only you were Chinese," he shook his head and sighed.
Morikawa Junpei knew the meaning of Zhou Zijing's words, but he just smiled and shook his head gently, and did not speak.
Seeing him like this, Zhou Zijing stopped talking, just patted his shoulder hard and left.
Morikawa Junpei stood there, watching Zhou Zijing join the cheering crowd.
The players of the Chinese team celebrate at the home stadium of the Japanese team…
As their friends, Morikawa Junpei knew that victory in this match meant a lot to them.
At this moment, he found a person walking in his field of vision.
It's Hulaisan!
He should have come for himself.
But halfway through, he was stopped by Tatsuya Sugiyama.
The two chatted for a while, and then Morikawa Junpei saw Hu Lai shaking his head at Tatsuya Sugiyama, then pointed at him, then waved goodbye to Tatsuya Sugiyama, and continued to walk towards him.
Soon he was in front of him.
"Come to exchange jerseys, Morikawa." Hu Lai tugged at the front of his jersey.
Morikawa Junpei was stunned for a moment, he did not expect Hu Lai to come to him to exchange jerseys.
So Sugiyama-kun should have asked him to exchange jerseys just now, but he was rejected?
Is he rejecting Sugiyama-kun in order to exchange jerseys with me?
Morikawa Junpei still couldn't believe it.
Then he thought of his first meeting with Hu Lai, the 2023 East Asia Cup 115 years ago. In that game, he was in charge of defending Hu Lai, and he performed well at first. But later he was blown up by Hu Lai, so he could only be replaced in advance by the head coach.
When he was in pain because of self-blame, what he didn't expect was that after the game, Hu Lai came to exchange jerseys with him.
No, it wasn't actually an exchange of jerseys, it was Hu Lai who gave him the jersey unilaterally, because Morikawa Junpei didn't react at all and didn't take off the jersey and hand it to Hu Lai, and after Hu Lai gave him the jersey, he turned around and left. , did not ask him for...
Morikawa Junpei felt normal. Because at that time, how could he be qualified to give his jersey to Hu Lai? Hu Lai was the top scorer in the East Asia Cup, scoring a hat-trick against South Korea. What about yourself? Just a failed nobody.
He didn't dare to exchange jerseys with Hu Lai, but Hu Lai took the initiative to give him jerseys.
It was the jersey that brought him strength and hope back in his saddest moments.
His freshman year started after that jersey swap.
He even had to thank Hu Lai for blowing him up.
Let him know that he can't do well in the position of central defender. Instead, he should make full use of his flexible and tenacious characteristics and switch to playing as a defensive midfielder.
Now he is in the position of the midfielder and has become the main force of the Japanese national team and the Premier League level.
It all started with that game, that jersey...
So Morikawa Junpei now naturally associates today with the past, thinking that Hu Lai must also want to comfort and encourage himself by exchanging jerseys.
Seeing that he was still in a daze, Hu Lai took off the jersey first, and then handed it to Morikawa Junpei.
The latter came back to his senses, and bowed his head and bent over to take off his clothes.
When completing the jersey exchange, Hu Lai said to him: "I believe you can go to the World Cup, Morikawa. When that time comes, I will be waiting for you at the World Cup."
Morikawa Junpei took the jersey with both hands and promised Hu Lai very solemnly: "I will, Hu Laisang. I will go to the World Cup, we agreed, see you at the World Cup!"
Hu Lai patted him on the shoulder, holding Morikawa Junpei's jersey in his hand, turned and left.
When passing by Tatsuya Sugiyama, he greeted him again.
Tatsuya Sugiyama came to Morikawa Junpei, looked back at Hu Lai and said, "I originally wanted to exchange jerseys with him, but he told me that he would come to you to exchange them. Did you discuss it before the game? ?"
After he finished speaking, he looked back and turned back to look at Morikawa Junpei, but was surprised to find Morikawa Junpei holding Hu Lai's jersey and unknowingly shed tears...
"you"
Tatsuya Sugiyama didn't know what to say for a while.
After losing the game, many people were unhappy and depressed, but they cried like that... Morikawa Junpei was still the only one.
Morikawa Junpei had tears on his face, clenched Hu Lai's jersey with both hands, raised his head, and suddenly said to Sugiyama Tatsuya: "Sugiyama-kun, we must go to the World Cup!"
Tatsuya Sugiyama was stunned for a moment~EbookFREE.me~ and then nodded: "Of course, we must go to the World Cup, otherwise how can we explain to the domestic fans...
Morikawa Junpei stopped talking. He draped the jersey Hu Lai gave him and walked off the court with his head down.
Perhaps in the eyes of others, this is just an ordinary post-match jersey exchange.
But Morikawa Junpei knew that this jersey carried Hu Lai and his promise, and it seemed heavy in his hands.
What he has in his hand is not a jersey, but a contract.
A contract about the World Cup.
This time, there is no need for Sakura of fantasy. The No. 14 jersey of the Chinese team in his hand is the best testimony!
