Gao Hongbo was very excited, and he finally waved his arms again to vent his excitement.

Before the game, Gao Hongbo thought that the game would be extremely difficult, he was not only mentally prepared to lose the game, in fact, in Gao Hongbo's mind, the Chinese team was able to drag the draw into overtime, and finally kicked a penalty, which was an excellent situation, but he didn't expect the situation to be so good and the game went so smoothly.

Yang Fan passed and shot, and before the end of the first half, he had already helped the Chinese team lead Australia 2-0.

Red flags fluttered in the stands, and Chinese fans were extremely excited. No matter how far the Chinese team can go in this Asian Cup, for these Chinese fans, this is already an Asian Cup that they will never forget. They have not enjoyed as much happiness in the past seven years as they have enjoyed in the past six months.

In the stands, some Chinese fans were already hoarse and couldn't speak, but they were still shouting, so hoarse that almost no one could understand what he was shouting, it didn't really matter. The people around him are like him, they need to vent their depression and resentment that have accumulated in their chests for a long time, and can even be said to be depressed for more than ten years or decades.

Chinese football is either disdainful or sad, or completely desperate, but today they only have pride in their hearts!

Yes, only pride.

The Chinese players on the pitch are still frantically celebrating the goal, including Yang Fan, all the Chinese players, like the fans, at this time, they want to shout out all the depression in their hearts.

Although Yang Fan's achievements at club level are nothing short of spectacular, the world and European footballer of the year is the most valuable star on the planet, and he can be proud of it. He was excluded from the national team before, and he could choose to forget about the Chinese team, but now that he is a member of the Chinese national team and the captain of the team, he has the responsibility to carry everything, and in addition to the responsibility, there is also the bad situation and negative evaluation!

He wants to lead this group of teammates to play well and play for the future!

Kick out the eye-popping!

Kick out the glory of the sky!

Kick out a flower bloom!

Before the game, the media was also hyping this game, and one of the hype points was that this game was a duel between Colwill, a famous veteran and Yang Fan, but he didn't expect Colwill to have no outstanding performance, Yang Fan had already assisted his teammates to score and scored in person. stole all the limelight alive.

Watching the Chinese celebrate the goal, Colwill's face was unusually solemn. The Australian team is in a very dangerous situation and as captain he has to lead the team out of this quagmire.

Australian coach Osijek was completely stunned, 0-1 behind the Chinese team, he was still able to keep his composure, thinking it was just an accident, but when the score became 0-2, he couldn't calm down, he knew too well what the score meant!

I believe that as soon as this conceded goal appeared, even the most optimistic Australian players began to get anxious and began to beat drums.

At the same time, Osijek is also clearly aware that his judgment of this opponent is biased, although he has considered that the Chinese team with Yang Fan may cause some trouble for Australia, but he still has great confidence in Australia, and at this moment, the two goals conceded made him realize that the Chinese team coached by Yang Fan is far more difficult to deal with than he imagined.

While the Chinese players were celebrating wildly, Osijekra stopped the captain of the team, Viduka: "Mark, I admit that I made a mistake, we all underestimated this opponent. ”

Viduka unscrewed the mineral water bottle and took a big sip of water, then poured it head-on, wiped his face, and nodded expressionlessly when he heard the head coach say this.

"Although the situation is a bit critical, it is still too late to correct it. When you get back on the pitch, you tell everybody that you have to score as soon as possible, that you have to do everything you can to score! Otherwise, in the second half, we'll face a tougher opponent!"

Viduka nodded with every word he spoke. Viduka understood what the head coach meant, and he agreed: Osijek asked Australia to take advantage of the opportunity of the Chinese team just scoring and maybe Hu was a little lax to attack the opponent and strive to score a goal to narrow the score gap! The score of 1-2 and the score of 0-2 are completely different concepts, Osijek also said clearly, if the second half of the game starts with a score of 0-2, the Chinese team is likely to adopt the tactics of shrinking defense and counterattacking, in that case, it will be more difficult for Australia to score, but more worried about the counterattack of the Chinese team, because the Chinese team has Yang Fan, a counterattack weapon.

Therefore, compared to the second half of the game, it is indeed an opportunity for Australia to step up their attack and strive for goals.

"Go ahead, teach the Chinese a lesson, let them know our real terrifying strength!" Osijek pushed Viduka back on the pitch.

Viduka turned back to the coach and said, "Don't worry, Coach. ”

Viduka raced onto the field. Then he shouted to the frustrated teammates on the field: "The coach said, let the Chinese taste the anger that angers us!"

Those who heard this raised their heads and looked at their captain.

Viduka gritted his teeth and said, "The Chinese will realize what a terrible existence they have provoked." ”

When the Australian players heard this, they felt like they were about to burst...... This is a team with good strength, their previous frustration and helplessness, only because of the two goals of the Chinese team, were shocked by Yang Fan's terrifying strength and stunned. However, when they come out of the blow, they will burst out with a lot of energy.

The live footage also gave a close-up of the Australian captain Viduka, who was boosting morale.

Seeing Viduka's face, veteran commentator Mortenson also sighed, "Mark Viduka, when I see this Australian, I think of those lads at Elland Road Stadium. Remembering the Young Guard...... Hopefully Viduka can do well today......" Mortensen sighed.

Mortensen is right, seeing Viduka will remind people of Leeds United, the youth guard team that once set off a youth storm in European football, will be nostalgic for that era of white clothes, and similarly, nostalgic for that great Leeds United team, think of the names of those great players in this team, and involuntarily think of this Australian goalscorer Mark Viduka.

Before the youth guards of Viduka, Ferdinand and other players, Leeds United gave people two impressions: one is that they won the last League One championship in 1992, and the coach was the famous veteran coach Alkinson in English football, and later went to the FA as a technical coach;

After that, there was news about Leeds United: several English professional players were taken to court for alleged assault, all of them from Leeds United. At that time, many people's first feeling was that they finally had a "bad boy team" that could fight with the "crazy gang" Wimbledon and the "axe gang" West Ham United.

Later, it was the story of the Young Guard, which shook Europe, and this story was inseparable from an Irishman. He was O'Leary, the manager of Leeds United at the time.

Under the careful cultivation of Aurelilay, a group of young rookies gradually provoked the pillars of the "White Army", such as local Bowyer, Smith, Woodgate, Bridges, Colwill and Viduka from Australia, and Frenchman Dacourt, all of whom are excellent players that make any team salivate. Leeds United president Lieddale was tempted to come to the club during the years of his young development, but he resisted it with manager O'Leley, believing that the Leeds United, known as the 'Boys of Ollieley' or the 'Young Guard', would bring them more than just a few lucrative transfer fees.

Considered by Leeds United fans to be the best team of the last decade, it has been saved. Their average age is less than 25 years old, giving Elland Road a youthful and hopeful feel. At that time, there were also "old comrades" such as South African veteran Radebe and England's No. 3 goalkeeper Martin. With the maturity of the lads, Leeds United's overall strength reached a peak at the start of the 1999-2ooo season.

It was an exciting season, with the Young Guards at home and in Europe. In the English game, they won consecutive games and even won the "winter title", replacing Arsenal and competing with Manchester United. It's a pity that compared to the old Sir Alex Ferguson and Manchester United, both Ollilai and Leeds United still look too young. Gradually, they began to lose their support. The home game against Manchester United was a turning point. Kerr's only goal sent the Red Devils away with three points, and the lead established remained unchanged until the end of the season.

In the UEFA Cup, Leeds United made it all the way to the last four. The opponent in the semi-finals was Turkey's Galatasaleyi, who later defeated Arsenal in the final to become champions. Leeds suffered heavy losses at Canada's so-called 'hell' home, not only losing the game, but also two loyal fans never to return home because of a goal clash. The glory of the team ended in a sad atmosphere. There is only one thing to be happy about, that is, they have grasped a few games in the final stage of the league and successfully passed the "Red Army" Liverpool, who have not won five consecutive games, to win the third place, and it is also a ticket to the Champions League next season. Liverpool, who have also started their resurgence this season, will have to go to the UEFA Cup, although the latter have won two home and away games against the "White Army". However, in the light of the facts, this was a happy outcome.

In the 2ooo-2oo1 season, new forces have been added to the Young Guards, and the arrival of defensive talent Rio Ferdinand has boosted the team's confidence. But this season, their performance in England has been far less lackluster than last season. However, what no one expected was that the "children of O'Lele" brought a big surprise to people in the "big family feast" - the Champions League!

They suffered a 4-o-4 defeat at the Campano Stadium to an ambitious Barcelona team. Almost everyone is convinced that the "Young Guard" is just here to feel the atmosphere. But the youngsters learn fast and progress quickly, and in the second game they were in the pouring rain 1:o Nick has six trophies at the museum AC Milan. Since then, the "White Army" has found the "Champions Cup Classic", remaining unbeaten in the following matches and eliminating Barcelona, who had embarrassed them. In the second group stage, when facing strong players such as Real Madrid and Lazio, the "children of O'Leliray" were undaunted and scored points in six games. Smith's beautiful strike at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome gave the team a one-goal win over the "Italian Eagles" Lazio, comparable to Colwill's one-goal victory over the "Red Wolves" Roma in the League Cup last season.

However, the "fairy tale of youth" is not over yet: standing in front of Leeds United in the quarterfinals is the "Deportivo La Coruna", the champion of La Liga last season and the two "kings" of Barcelona and Real Madrid. Raco's manager at the time, Iruetta, didn't take Leeds United seriously at all, and the question of who his semi-final opponent would be was on his mind at the time. “

The Young Guard "helped him with this "trouble": he didn't have to think about it at all. At Elland Road in Leeds, the 'White Rose' played a power football against the technical flow of the 'Grade Laco' and the result was a resounding victory. The score of 3:o allowed the team to come to Spain in a relaxed mood. Although with the enthusiastic support of tens of thousands of fans at the Stadio riaço, Laco won 2:o, it didn't make much sense anymore. Viduka, Colwill, Darkett, Rio Ferdinand, these names have also become dazzling names in the whole of Europe with Leeds United reaching the Champions League semi-finals.

The "Children of Aureli" shook the whole of Europe, and it has not been many years before a team has done so well in the first European competition like this! Striker Bowyer also won the Champions League's "Golden Boot" with seven goals. It is worth mentioning that Liverpool, who participated in the UEFA Cup "thanks to them", finally defeated Alaves, who is also a Spanish team, 5:4 in the final of Dortmund, winning glory for England and achieving the glory of the "treble" of the cup.

This was followed in the 2oo1-2oo2 season. The initial phase was a happy one for Leeds: the "Reds" general Fowler came to defect. Leeds United are unbeaten in 15 games. But they seem to be a bunch of children who don't grow up, and they keep making the same mistakes. Aurelile's side have only hope, not results. Soon, even the last hope was lost, and in the latter part of the season, the unthinkable happened!

To this day, no one can say the real reason for O'Lelai's "dismissal". But one thing is clear, some people have lost patience.

The "nanny" O'Lelei is gone, and the situation of the "children" is even more miserable. What's more, it shows that everything that used to be in the past has gone down the drain. "The Children of Aurelilah" soon turns into a beautiful and bleak memory, and everything becomes unrecognizable. Another new season, Venables is here. But Rio Ferdinand went to Manchester United, Bowyer to West Ham United, Woodgate to Newcastle, Darkcourt to Roma, Viduka to Middlesbrough, and even Fowler was pulled away by the gracious Keegan, and in the end, Leeds United were relegated and completely sunk.

To this day, English people still miss Leeds United, this young team, those young and energetic lads, brought passion and joy to many people, and the Elland Road stadium is a holy place in the hearts of many people in that era of white clothes.

Because of these memories, because of these pasts, the English have a preference for former Leeds United players, take Mortensen, the gold medal commentator, for example, seeing Viduka on the field of the Asian Cup, seeing Viduka and Yang Fan fighting, he even has a sense of time chaos.

At this moment, Mortensen is also embarrassed, he really wants to see Viduka have a wonderful performance at this time, he wants to see Viduka score, he is not an Australian fan, but Viduka has the unforgettable memory of Mortson's generation, he is not so much a fan of Viduka, but a sad elegy for the Young Guard.
