Of course, similar scenes have not happened before, going back nine years to the 2002 World Cup in South Korea and Japan. For Chinese fans, this is the first year for the Chinese team to "break out of Asia and go to the world", and it is also the first year for Asia to host the FIFA World Cup. Chinese fans don't have to stay up late to watch the game, and they can spend less to go to the scene to watch their favorite teams play. For South Korean and Japanese fans, playing the World Cup on their own doorstep, they aspire to be the "12th" of the team and help their national teams achieve good results.

For Italian fans, this World Cup has too many pains that cannot be parted. Maldini Vieri Montella, three of Italian football's most decorated players, all bid farewell to the World Cup after losing in the quarter-finals. And this match was considered by fans and the media to be one of the most obvious and ugly match-fixing matches in the history of the World Cup, South Korea vs. Italy in the quarterfinals, and the final result was that South Korea defeated Italy 2-1 to advance.

On June 18, 2002, the referee on duty, Ecuadorian Meureno, blew the whistle and the host South Korea team and the World Cup champion Italy team fought for a place in the quarter-finals. At 3 minutes and 50 seconds into the game, South Korea's Song Jong Kook took a free kick on the right side of the front, Xue Qixuan, who grabbed the point in front of the penalty area, fell to the ground, Merreno awarded a penalty, Ahn Jung-hwan was saved by the Italian goalkeeper Buffon, but the slow motion showed that the players on both sides did not have much physical contact when competing for a free kick;

South Korea, who were behind, also stepped up their attack, and in the 21st minute of the game, Italian player Totti received a yellow card for an elbow in a midfield scramble. In the following games, Italy played a good defensive counterattack, and the South Korean team also showed an attitude that it was necessary to equalize, and the two sides fought fiercely and moved relatively big.

In the final 20 minutes, South Korea's head coach Guus Hiddink of the Netherlands brought on three strikers to equalize and send the game into extra time as a last-ditch effort. Sure enough, in the 42nd minute of the game, several players of the South Korean team cooperated with a short pass at the front of the penalty area and passed the ball into the penalty area.

The game went into extra time, and in the 12th minute of extra time, the game took a turn for the worse. At this time, Totti received a pass from his teammates and burst into the penalty area, and Song Jong Kook, a South Korean player who came to the defense, put Totti to the ground, and when everyone thought that Italy would get a penalty opportunity, the referee Meurano did not point to the penalty spot, but ran to the place of the incident, sentenced Totti to fake a fall, and showed Totti a second yellow card, turning two yellows into one red, and sent off the field, which also caused dissatisfaction among all Italian players, but the penalty could not be changed.

Although it was 10 to 11, Italy still had a chance to win the golden goal in extra time, and in the fifth minute of the second half of extra time, Tomacchi received a pass from his teammates, got a single chance and deceived the South Korean goalkeeper to score the goal, but the referee ruled that it was offside and the goal was invalidated. Slow-motion replays of the game showed that in the moment of passing to Tomachi, Tomacchi was in line with the last player in the South Korean backline and was not offside.

Six minutes later, the "escaped" South Korean team had a chance, Ahn Jung-hwan who missed a penalty to atone for his crimes, and the header converted a teammate's cross into a goal, knocking out the Italian team in an upset.

In the next quarter-finals, South Korea faced Spain. The match was also recognized by fans and the media as the other of the two most famous match-fixing scandals in World Cup history.

Egypt's Jamal Al Gandour was the referee of the game, and he disallowed Spain's goals twice in the game, blowing two Spanish goals, and awarded South Korea's Kim Tae-young's own goal for the Spanish player to foul the Spanish player first, and Joaquín's assist for Morientes's killer goal was also ruled out of bounds by the referee on duty. In the end, the Spanish team, which was completely unbalanced, lost in the penalty shootout, and the South Korean team miraculously advanced to become the first Asian team to enter the semi-finals of the World Cup, while the other host team Japan did not even enter the top eight.

Nine years on, it seems that the honour of that time does not seem to be fixed as usual, but may become an inglorious memory in the history of the World Cup. The South Koreans didn't really earn much respect by reaching the final four this time.

Now, in the Asian Cup, the Qataris intend to carry the ugly flag that the South Koreans once carried, and the referee on duty in this game is the South Korean, which is really the best partner.

Gao Hongbo turned his head to look back, where was the position of the rostrum. There, sitting is the president of the Qatari Football Association, Saimahad, and the president of the AFC, the Qatari Haman

In the face of the angry questioning of Yang Fan, the captain of the Chinese team, the South Korean referee on duty, Kim Dongjin, did not know whether it was out of weakness or because he was afraid of the identity of the world's number one star.

Yang Fan also accepted it when he saw it, he calmed down his mood and did not continue to entangle with the referee, as the captain, he knew his responsibility at this time, and now for the Chinese team, it is the most important thing to do to seize the time to continue the game and strive for goals.

"It's too naked"

"Don't even cover up the basics, the Qataris and Hammam are really rampant, does he think that in Asia, no one can pose a threat to him?"

In the media seat, a group of reporters got together to sneer and sneer, including reporters from other countries, who stood in a neutral and objective perspective and were also upset for the Chinese team.

Yang Fan cleared Qatar's attack before, and it was a corner kick from Qatar.

Their corner kick was not of high quality, and was picked up by the Chinese goalkeeper Zeng Cheng, who did not kick the football out immediately, but held the football in his arms and steadied it.

"I don't believe that the Qataris can cover the sky with one hand. Gao Lin said hatefully.

'I don't believe anything until I score. Yang Fan stared at the court and gritted his teeth and said.

"We need to attack" As the captain of the Chinese team, Yang Fan boosted morale, "I don't believe it, if we score again, the referee will dare to blow it off." ”

Yang Fan didn't believe that the referee dared to be so unscrupulous, if the referee dared, Yang Fan would dare to fight, he would dare to make trouble, he would dare to break the sky. As the best player in today's football, his influence is huge, and if Yang Fan and the AFC tear their faces, neither side will end up.

Zeng Cheng handed the ball to Peng, who made a long pass to the front.

Gao Lin rushed in front of Kalifahamid and swung the ball to Yang Fan, who was following him.

Yang Fan hooked the ball forward with his right foot, and the trend was an acceleration. As soon as Muhammadra Jaba came up to intercept him, he was swept past by Yang Fan like a swift wind. He hurriedly turned around to chase after him, but because he forcibly slowed down and turned around, he stumbled and slipped to the ground, and he could only watch the back of the galloping with the ball.

Yang Fan's beautiful unloading accelerated, and he moved coherently and quickly past the first interceptor.

After breaking through Qatar's first line of defence, the defender next to him became Lawrence.

Lawrence followed Yang Fan, he was not in a hurry to get out of the foot, but followed closely, on the one hand, he was looking for a space to shovel, and on the other hand, he used his body to block Yang Fan's dribbling route, if he could force Yang Fan to take the football to the sideline, or even out of bounds, it would be the best.

Yang Fan was forced by Lawrence to gradually go to the side, which was far away from the goal, this is not a situation that Yang Fan wants to see, he must find a solution as soon as possible.

Not only Lawrence, but also two Qatari players were also attracted by Yang Fan's dribbling, of course, they knew how powerful this Chinese star was, so they made up their minds to defend and besiege Yang Fan.

This is also the reason why Yang Fan did not rashly choose to break through Lawrence, because the encirclement is too narrow, he can pass the first person, but it is difficult to pass the interceptors behind in a row.

Looking at it from the Chinese commentary seat, this is a very interesting scene.

Yang Fan was dribbling the ball, and a group of people followed Yang Fan, only to see Yang Fan suddenly stop suddenly, and then move towards the middle, and those people also hurriedly followed, and this group of people was just crowded at the top of the arc of the penalty area, looking chaotic.

Yang Fan is like a magnet that attracts the attention of almost all Qatari defensive players.

Yang Fan's eyes lit up, there were more and more people around him, so there were fewer people from other places

He made another movement at his feet, made a move to shoot, causing Abdullah to come up and block with his body, but the football came back again, Yang Fan's action this time made the Qatari defenders break out in a cold sweat again, and their attention was more focused on this person.

Yang Fan wanted this effect, and he immediately caught a glimpse of a vacancy.

Gao Lin was there

Gao Lin didn't have a single defender on his side

Yang Fan immediately made a move to shoot again, attracting the surrounding interceptors to move like a big enemy, and also took the opportunity to find a space to pass the ball, he immediately pulled the ball back, and poked the ball through the crack without hesitation

Yang Fan's pass was so sudden and concealed that no one could have imagined that he would pass the football so accurately in the encirclement.

Even Gao Lin was a little unprepared for this pass.

Fortunately, there was no defender around him, Gao Lin did not stop the ball in the first time, but the second time finally stopped the football, and at this time, Qatari goalkeeper Burhan also rushed to him desperately, Gao Lin almost subconsciously completed the final shot.

After shooting the ball, he collided with Burhan.

The Chinese striker who fell to the ground stared at the direction of Qatar's goal.

He saw the football, bouncing, stubbornly moving forward, and finally, rolled over the goal line
