Vol 4 Chapter 12: don't miss any champions

"Golden Greenery(
After leaving Ain, Zhuo Yang was still a little bit reluctant.
The projectile oasis in the vast desert is like an island in the ocean. The strong contrast of the environment creates a sense of security and even happiness. It is somewhat similar to hiding in a hut with warm orange lights through the glass window. Look at the pouring rain outside.
Because of Zhuo Yang's relationship, the Chinese team enjoyed the full treatment of the home team in Ain, and the Chinese team won two games here, which is obviously worthy of Ain's love.
The elimination of South Korea is expected, and scoring six goals is a little exaggerated, but it is not too much. After all, the current star and the favorite to win the Asian Cup are enough to make everyone no longer uncommon.
However, South Korea, which is not weak in attacking clean sheets, is quite surprising. After all, as the team that conceded the most goals in the 2018 World Cup, the Chinese team's defense is not top-notch in Asia, not to mention the four main defense forces this time. Three were absent.
In the group stage before the knockout stage, three teams have kept clean sheets, Jordan, Qatar and Iran. In eight 1/16 wars, Jordan took the lead in losing the gold medal, and they were eliminated by the dark horse Vietnam.
In fact, Jordan is also a dark horse. Among the three dark horses selected by the AFC official media in the group stage, Jordan is, in a sense, darker than Thailand and Vietnam.
Thailand and Vietnam were able to enter the knockout stage historically, and it was more due to the expansion of the army. The first round of the knockout round also changed from the top 8 in the past to the top 16, and the number doubled.
And Jordan can beat the defending champions Australia in a row in Group B, and the 12 strong brigade Syria in the Asian preliminaries to win the group first, and not concede a goal, it is really black and oily.
However, as Thailand lost 0:1 to Qatar in 1/16 and was eliminated, Vietnam, who defeated Jordan 1:1 and then made a penalty kick to enter the quarter-finals in 120 minutes, secured the title of the only dark horse.
This is not the first time that Vietnam has reached the quarter-finals of the Asian Cup. In 2007, when India, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam jointly hosted, they beat the UAE and Qatar to advance to the second place in the group. Of course, there is the factor of home games.
Vietnamese football has improved a lot over the years. In 2001, Vietnam's top star Li Xuande moved to Laojia A Chongqing, causing a sensation in Vietnam at that time just like Yang Chen's landing in the Bundesliga in China.
But Li Xuande, who was the same age as Zidane at the time, only stayed for half a season before withdrawing. His lumbar spine hurt from sitting on the bench, and he really couldn't sit there.
Time flies, more than ten years have passed, last year's 2018 Indonesian Asian Games men's football competition, Vietnam U23 group first place and reached the semi-finals. So it is not surprising if they easily beat the Chinese team of the same age in a certain time and space a few years later, even on the first day of the new year.
The Vietnamese team that made it to the quarter-finals of the Asian Cup this time is basically the original U23 team. In the game with Jordan, ‘Vietnamese Messi’ Nguyen Gongfeng equalized the score. Deng Wenlin, a naturalized goalkeeper of Russian descent, performed well against Jordan with 8 corner kicks and 16 goals, and made two saves in the penalty shootout.
In addition to the hearty 6:0 of ​​the Chinese team, the other seven 1/16 four overtime games include two penalty kicks, and the remaining three games are all one or two goals. This makes the Chinese team quite Versailles.
4 wins and 4 wins and scored 19 goals, but because of this, the team can't help but regret the two previous conceded goals. Both Saudi Arabia and South Korea were not lost, but they were lost here in Kyrgyzstan. Chunlei felt regretful and blamed himself.
However, after Kyrgyz's outstanding performance against the Chinese team, although they lost in the knockout round, they were not criticized for their bad luck. They only lost to the host United Arab Emirates 2:3 in overtime.
In addition to the chaos of Vietnam, the Asian Cup quarter-finals have basically returned to the old powers, and all those who should have come have come. Ambitious Saudi Arabia was defeated by Japan 0:1, and the 20-year-old central defender Fuan Jianyang headed the lore.
Iraq eliminated Bahrain 2-1 in overtime, defending champion Australia beat Uzbekistan on penalties, and Iran took Oman 2-0. Qatar and Iran continue to concede clean sheets, and Iran is the next opponent of the Chinese team.
1/8 of the competition is in the ancient city of Sharjah, which is very different from the luxurious Dubai and the international Abu Dhabi. Sharjah is the most conservative city in the entire UAE, and it is also the place with the most traditional sectarian atmosphere. It comes from another world. The Chinese team cannot be more popular in Sharjah than Iran.
.
Zhuo Yang led the Chinese team from Al Ain to Sharjah, while Guardiola led a group of second-team children from the Pirelli Stadium on Trent to victory.
After snapping a losing streak with a 2-2 draw with Liverpool at the start of the new year, Manchester City won their next two games. In the first round of the FA Cup, they defeated the 'miller' and Rotherham from the British Championship 7:0.
Finally regained their vitality, and the players gradually woke up from the atmosphere of "gnawing the old", so in the 22nd round of the Premier League a few days later, Manchester City easily defeated Wolves 3-0 at home.
In the third round five months ago, the Wolves forced Manchester City to be very annoyed. They only won 4:3 by relying on Zhuo Yangkai to put on a hat. The 3:0 at this moment means that Manchester City without Zhuo Yang is finally like Manchester City again.
The French central defender of the Wolves was sent off with a red card in the 19th minute for kicking the ankle of seat B. After that, scored twice, and the captain of the Wolves Conor Cody made a careless clearance in the 78th minute. com loves an oolong.
The Chinese midfielder Xiaoli replaced Belgian Leander Dendonker in the second half, and his performance was as mediocre as the whole team.
After the game, the old melon finally spoke up, and ended the month-long closed training for the New Year. The Blue Moon soldiers saw the light of day again. Many people were swiping their mobile phones and crying, feeling like a bastard.
Guardiola is not a son of man, but Ci is not a soldier, and finally cured the team's two terminal illnesses of "gnawing the old" and "lying flat".
Manchester City, who turned back from a fool, won three consecutive league victories in the next two rounds of the Premier League, beating Southampton 3:1 and Hazhen 3:0. However, because Liverpool and Tottenham have the same three-game winning streak, Manchester City can only rank third in the standings, with Pu 60, 59 and 58.
The world always misunderstands Lao Gua, but in fact, most of the time he still talks. After the first leg of the League Cup semi-final 9:0, Burton head coach Clough Jr. made a cry. He promised that he would be a pure substitute when he went to Burton's home in the second leg, which was quite true.
At the Pirelli Stadium, the oldest in Manchester City's starting lineup is 27-year-old Brazilian right-back Danilo, and the captain is Foden, who is still under 19.
Peng Mingzhi and Eric Garcia, the U21 center-backs of the same age as Foden, started and played the full game. This is the first time for "Guangxi Peng Jian through" to represent the Manchester City first team.
Just as the Chinese youth team fought hard in Kyrgyzstan, the Manchester City youth team also had a hard battle with the League One powerhouse Burton. Relying on superb possession, passing and stable defense, and with Foden's blow to seal the throat, Manchester City won 1:0 away again and advanced to the 2018-19 League Cup final with a total score of 10:0.
This is very important. He will leave Manchester City in the summer. Zhuo Yang does not want to miss any championship.
