On the evening of July 22, the Asian Cup quarter-finals, China against South Korea.
Alihan once again eliminated the four, three and three formations, the goalkeeper is still Li Leilei, the back line is Sun Xiang, Feng Xiaoting, Li Weifeng and Sun Jihai, the three midfield players are Shao Jiayi, Zheng Zhi and Zhou Haibin, the frontcourt is Yang Yang and Gao Lin And Chen Tao.
As soon as the game started, the two sides played a fast-paced offensive and defensive battle.
The Chinese team opened a field goal in just two minutes, and Gao Lin's header was high.
Just three minutes later, the South Korean team also used the midfield breakthrough to form a free kick, Li Tianxiu directly hit the shot and shot high.
Afterwards, the needlepoints of the two sides confronted Maimang, and no one gave in, and no one was willing to bow their heads easily.
In the past few years, a group of Chinese players led by Yang Yang can be described as brilliant, first to win the Asian Cup, then to win the World Youth Championship, followed by a very good performance in the World Cup, won Unanimously appreciated.
In contrast, as a dead enemy in East Asia, the South Korean team is slightly inferior, especially after the collapse of the Korean disease for many years, it has made South Korea have high hopes for this game. Strong enough to suppress the Chinese team, using a victory to prove that the fear of Korean disease has not been destroyed.
In fact, the South Korean team did play like this after the opening.
The Chinese team also showed their determination to win. The two wings, led by Yang Yang and Chen Tao, frequently put pressure on the South Korean team's defense line, forcing the Koreans to passively defend.
The strong offensive advantage in the frontcourt, especially Yang Yang's strong attacking power on the left, made the South Korean team up and down like a big enemy.
With the suppression of the frontcourt, the midfield will naturally be able to control the situation. Shao Jiayi, Zheng Zhi and Zhou Haibin firmly control the ball, and frequently plan offenses to create opportunities.
In the twenty-ninth minute, the midfielder passed a beautiful and continuous pass, tearing the South Korean team's defense and sending it to Yang Yang's feet.
And Yang Yang suddenly cut in on the left, getting rid of, sprinting, stopping the ball, passing, shooting ...
The whole process was done in one go, playing very beautifully, and the quality of the shot was also extremely high, directly hitting the Korean team's goal dead end.
One to zero!
This is also Yang Yang's fifth goal in the Asian Cup, let him lead the Asian Cup scorer list!
...
After breaking the deadlock on the field, the Chinese team began to play more patiently.
The South Korean team was behind, but they did not dare to be too impatient, because they knew that there was Yang Yang in front. As long as they are a little risky, they may lose the ball anytime, anywhere.
There is still a chance of throwing a goal, but if you throw another goal, it is really desperate.
The two teams began to fall into a stalemate.
The more patient Chinese team once kicked out a very beautiful transfer cooperation, starting from the backcourt Feng Xiaoting planning, to the midfielder Zheng Zhi,
Zhou Haibin and Shao Jiayi, then Gao Lin and Yang Yang in the front court, the whole process from the back to the front was all passed by one foot.
There were fourteen passes, and the South Korean team's defense was torn apart very brilliantly, and Yang Yang passed the back of the penalty area diagonally.
But it is a pity that Chen Tao inserted the back row slightly slower by half a beat, and the South Korean goalkeeper decisively hit the ball and saved it.
Such a wonderful pass and cooperation, but failed to create a goal, it is indeed regrettable.
However, no matter the players on the court, the audience on the sidelines, or the fans and TV commentators in front of the TV, they all raved about the cooperation of the national team this time, thinking that this represents a major part of the Chinese national team. change.
...
"In 2004, the local Asian Cup, the Chinese team played very beautifully. Alihan always hoped that the Chinese team could play the four, three, and three formations in his mind. The effect you want. "
"After three years, the young teenager Yang Yang has grown into the world's top star. Today, he is not only the leading attacker in Asia, but also the top scorer in the world."
"With top scorers like Yang Yang supporting in front, the Chinese team has much less pressure in the midfield and backcourt."
"In addition, in the past two or three years, a group of international players headed by Zheng Zhi, Shao Jiayi, Zhao Junzhe, and Zhou Haibin have all appeared in the European League, especially Zhou Haibin, who has basically played the main role in Benfica. Pretty good."
"It can be said that the current Chinese team already has a very good strength, even if they are very competitive in Asia, and it should be known that a group of players such as Zhou Haibin, Chen Tao and Feng Xiaoting are only second. In his early tens, Yang Yang was only 20 years old, and these players will be the backbone of Chinese football in the next decade. "
The live TV footage gave Yang Yang a big close-up on the court. He was obviously smiling and complaining that his teammate Chen Tao was hesitant when he sprinted, resulting in his failure to catch up in time, otherwise this may even be the current Asian The most exciting goal in the cup, the result is so wrong.
This scene also made the national TV commentator particularly emotional.
"Three years ago, he was just a 17-year-old teenager who had just debuted, but he had already helped Ajax win the Champions League in Europe, and then he also helped the Chinese team to the end of the Asian Cup. He won the local championship and won the best shooter and best player. "
"And now, he is already the top European superstar, the world's most famous superstar, the Premier League and the Champions League double material golden boots, and even the media revealed that Chelsea is willing to pay him a super high price of 60 million pounds, which is bound to break Zidane ’s first-day transfer fee set in the world. "
"Yang Yang is already a veritable banner of Chinese football and our hope for Chinese football!"
...
While the national TV commentator was emotional, the game on the court still continued.
On the domestic Internet, portals, forums and QQ groups, all major fan gathering places, are all talking about the performance of the national team in Southeast Asia, especially Yang Yang's role in this Chinese team.
Everyone believes that Yang Yang is the most indispensable member of the Chinese team.
And everyone also believes that as long as Yang Yang is in, the Chinese team will be invincible!
...
With a one-to-zero score to end the first half, after the easy battle, the South Korean team took the lead in making substitution adjustments, proactively launched the offensive, and in the second half started a wave of offensive.
However, the Chinese team played steadily and responded defensively. They played very patiently, especially the combination of Feng Xiaoting and Li Weifeng's central defender, which performed very well.
When the game reached the 60th minute, Ali Han made another substitution and Zhao Junzhe replaced Shao Jiayi.
This is obviously a signal to further strengthen the defense, but also shows the Chinese team's strategy of counterattack after scoring a goal.
Then, in the 68th minute, the Chinese team kicked a quick counterattack.
Feng Xiaoting made a long pass in the backcourt, Yang Yang quickly counterattacked, led the ball straight into the drive, and encountered a Korean goalkeeper who attacked at the front of the penalty area. He decisively shot back, but the strength was slightly lighter. The Korean player who was back in time was in front of the goal Successful siege.
Although he failed to break the goal, the South Korean team's morale also fell sharply.
On the one hand, they want to attack, to equalize, or even to reverse, to reverse the embarrassing situation of China in the past two or three years, but on the other hand, the South Korean team also very afraid of the Chinese team's counterattack, especially Yang Yang's personal ability and speed.
This dilemma has been maintained until the end of the game, the South Korean team has never been able to play threats again.
However, in the 84th minute, the Chinese team made another six counterattacks.
In front of Chen Tao's low pass from the right, Gao Lin grabbed the first goal and ferried to the back point. Yang Yang easily pushed the goal and broke the goal to further expand the score, two to zero.
This goal also completely destroyed the hope of the Korean team!
The fear of Korean disease has long been broken, but the Korean team seems to have begun to suffer from panic disease. Especially in recent years, the strength of Chinese football and a group of players led by Yang Yang have gradually established a foothold in the European League, which has made Korea domestic. Public opinion panic.
...
The match between China and South Korea in the quarterfinals of the quarterfinals ended with the Chinese team defeating the South Korean team 2-0.
The Chinese team continued its victory over the South Korean team in the past two or three years, and also used a targeted tactical victory to give domestic fans hope.
Arihan's platoon formation and targeted tactics in this game are all in place and satisfactory.
Yang Yang used a score twice to let everyone see his status.
Domestic fans also celebrated the team's promotion to the semi-finals. They all praised Yang Yang's outstanding performance, thinking that Yang Yang was like an iron man. He just performed well in the European League and returned to the country to shine again.
However, some media forwarded Yang Yang's remarks to the media after the game, saying that Yang Yang was not in his best condition.
"Obviously, for Yang Yang players, the Asian Cup can no longer satisfy him."
"For him, the Asian Cup is at best like a warm-up event. He still uses the game to adjust his status and prepare for the next season."
...
In the other three games of the quarterfinals, Japan drew Australia one-on-one and finally won the penalty shootout.
Iraq defeated the host Vietnam team 2-0 and successfully advanced to the semifinals.
Saudi Arabia defeated Iran 2-1 and also advanced to the semifinals.
Throughout the Asian Cup, Iraq is a true dark horse team. Before the game, no one thought that this war-torn country could play so well in the Asian Cup and broke into the semifinals all the way.
In the subsequent draw, Iraq reached Saudi Arabia, and the two teams from the Middle East were coincidentally ranked together, while the Chinese team was drawn to another rival team in East Asia, Japan.
In this way, regardless of the outcome of the semi-finals, East Asian teams will eventually play against West Asian teams.
When the result of the lottery was returned to the country, all fans felt both anticipated and somewhat worried.
After all, the Japanese team has always been the bitter leader of the Chinese team.
However, more fans still hope that Yang Yang, who is far away in Southeast Asia, can continue to inspire and lead the Chinese team to defeat Japan and reach the final.
Japanese coach Osim said that the team is ready for everything.
"We will completely freeze Yang Yang in the semi-finals!"
